Análise comparativa de ajustamentos de estações de referências por diferentes metodologias

The use of the Global Positioning System technology has brought a real revolution in the surveying and georeferencing techniques, which are the basis for many others relevant studies to the many fields of Geography. In this sense, it was seen a massive growth of the use of GNSS receivers in Brazil from the early 2000s, due the duty of Georreferencing Rural Properties to comply with the 10.267/2001 law. For Georreferencing, it is needed high accuracy receivers, and most of time, it is used two receivers: one static base and one rover. To do the adjustment of the base (in order to correct errors), two ways are utilized: post-processing via the brazilian GNSS network - Rede Brasileira de Monitoramento Contínuo dos Sistemas GNSS (RBMC) or via Precise Point Positioning - Posicionamento por Ponto Preciso, both managed by IBGE. Given the wide range of applications as well as discussions on the accuracy of both methods, this monograph aims to conduct a comparative analysis and prove the effectiveness of both methods considering the INCRA’s Standard for Rural Properties Georreferencing. From the processing of GNSS data collected in Piracicaba, Ituverava, Iperó and São Pedro, it could be seen that the research reached the objectives and shows that both methods are accurate and feasible

Comparação entre metodologias de controle de qualidade em mamografia digital

The best way to detect breast cancer is by screening mammography. The mammography equipments are dedicated and require a rigorous quality control in order to have a good quality image and to early detect this disease. The digital equipment is relatively new in the market and there isn’t a national rule for quality control for several types of digital detectors. This study has proposed to compare two different tests manuals for quality control provided by the manufacturers of digital mammography equipments, and also compare them to the “European guidelines for quality assurance in breast cancer screening and diagnosis “(2006). The studied equipments were: Senographe 2000D from General Electric (GE) and the Hologic Selenia Lorad. Both were digital mammography equipments, the GE unit presents an indirect digital system and the other presents a direct digital system. Physical parameters of the image have been studied, such as spatial resolution, contrast resolution, noise, signal-tonoise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio and modulation transfer function. After that, a study of the importance of quality control and the requirement to implement a Quality Assurance Program has been done. One data collection was done to compare those manual, it was done by checking which tests are indicated and the minimum frequency which they should be conducted in accordance with each manufacturer. The tests were performed by different methodologies and the results were compared. The examined tests were: the breast entrance skin dose, mean glandular dose, contrast-to-noise ratio, signal-to-noise ratio, automatic exposure control and automatic control of density, modulation transfer function, equipment resolution, homogeneity and ghost

Paradigma e metodologias da questão agrária: uma análise das ocupações de terras no Brasil com ênfase para o Pontal do Paranapanema-SP

A questão agrária é da essência do modo capitalista de produção. A existência ou não do campesinato nesse modo de produção é justamente o cerne da discussão. A questão agrária pode ser interpretada de diferentes formas, por meio de correntes teóricas ou até mesmo paradigmas, como o caso do Paradigma da questão Agrária e o Paradigma do Capitalismo Agrário. Neste trabalho procuro defender a ideia de que a questão agrária é um problema estrutural do capitalismo, atualizada conjunturalmente por diferentes elementos, sejam eles de cunho social, político ou econômico. Um destes elementos, destacado nesta pesquisa, é justamente a luta pela terra em escala nacional e regional. A criação e recriação do campesinato no Brasil tem se dado, principalmente, a partir da luta pela terra, materializada em ocupações, acampamentos e, conseqüente, criação de assentamentos rurais. Em escala nacional, discuto a diminuição das ocupações de terra e de novos acampamentos nos últimos anos, com o intuito de compreender as possíveis causas. Já, em escala regional, no Pontal do Paranapanema-SP, algumas mudanças no que diz respeito à mobilização das famílias semterra e a esporacidade da vida nos acampamentos são apresentadas a fim de colaborar com a discussão sobre a dinâmica, contemporaneidade e perspectiva da luta pela terra

Desenvolvimento de metodologias analíticas para determinação de selênio, cobre e manganês por GFAAS em amostras de vegetais de cultura orgânica e convencional utilizando extração por ultra-som

No presente trabalho é proposto um método para determinação de cobre, manganês e selênio em amostras de vegetais de cultura orgânica e convencional utilizando ultra-som no processo de extração dos analitos e posterior quantificação por espectrometria de absorção atômica em forno de grafite (GFAAS). Utilizando como solução extratora HCl 0,10 mol L-1, as condições ótimas de extração estabelecidas foram: massa de amostra de 100 mg; granulometria da amostra < 60 m; tempo de sonificação de cinco ciclos de 40 s e potência de sonificação de 136 W. As determinações dos analitos por GFAAS foram feitas utilizando-se temperaturas de secagem de 90-250 oC, temperatura de pirólise de 1300 oC, temperatura de atomização de 2300 oC e temperatura de limpeza de 2800 oC. Foi utilizado como modificador químico nitrato de paládio co-injetado junto com as amostras e tungstênio como modificador permanente. A exatidão e precisão do método de extração proposto foram avaliadas utilizando-se padrão certificado Corn Bran, RM 8433 – National Institute of Standards and Technology. Os resultados obtidos pelo método de extração por ultra-som mostraram-se equivalentes aos obtidos pelo método utilizando-se mineralização ácida das amostras em forno de microondas. No entanto, a metodologia proposta diminui consideravelmente o tempo de análise, o que favorece a velocidade analítica. Além disso, a quantidade de resíduos gerados para o ambiente também é bastante minimizada

Algumas metodologias de avaliação para pavimentos de baixo volume de trafego

This work has as objective, show and compares some of several evaluation methods of pavements, based in the rules and researches realized by another authors, with focus on low traffic volume pavements, which are generally more economic flexible pavements subjected to low loads. Were addressed structure evaluation methods and superficial evaluation methods applied to that kind of pavement, exposing of clearly the procedures to be performed, the advantages and disadvantages, as well the results obtained in the execution of each one of these. This theme was chosen by the widespread use of this type of pavement in the road network of the country and the fact that there is no still a culture of the practical of evaluation nor technical knowledge on the part of municipal governments that are usually responsible for these roads. This study also aims to guide the process of maintenance preventive or recuperative, as they are often made improvements that do not actually solve the real problem of the roads

Interações metodológicas e interrelações humanas: alicerçando a transdisciplinaridade no campo da saúde no trabalho

This article provides reflections and discussions about the importance of human interactions and methodological interrelations to substantiate the integrity in the transdisciplinary process in teams that operate in health area. Should be taken as reference the Complexity Theory of Edgar Morin, the logic transdisciplinary of Basarab Nicolescu and the formation groups principles based on the Socionomic Theory of Jacob Levy Moreno. It was concluded that the complexity of the methodologies in the field of workplace health, are influenced by factors that intersect between the scientific interaction and human interrelationships, which allow the transdisciplinary construction. However, the constructions requires the development of professionals in their areas and in their relationship with others as a way of supporting the perspective of transdisciplinarity, ie, interaction, in which different individuals are interrelated with the methodologies and providing articulations and coconstructions from which actualize the transformations.

Comparativo ergonômico de duas metododologias para aquisição de coordenadas tridimensionais do posto de trabalho do operador de trato

This research aimed to the comparison between two methods for obtaining three-dimensional coordinates of the controls of the upper limbs of the job of the tractor operator. The methods used were based on NBR / NM / ISO 5353 - Road machines, tractors and agricultural and forestry machinery – Reference point of the seat. The first method used follows the principles recommended by the standard NBR/NM/ISO/5353 The second method is an adaptation of this standard with the introduction of a laser measuring equipment developed by Silva (2009). The results were compared statistically to evaluate differences between the methodological processes involved. In this research, data was collected thought a brand new tractor Massey Ferguson model MF 292, awarded by the dealership from Londrina. The results have shown a considerable variation between the traditional measurement process and the laser measuring. It must be considered that this variation can be used to calibrate the tractor controls positioning, therefore the tractor is not in accordance to ABNT.

The strict control of fluoride levels in the water distributed, therefore, is essential. The objective of this study is to gather information on the status of fluoridation in some area of Brazil and compare different methods for the quantification of that analyte

Análise de métodos alternativos para o ensino de química: uma síntese a partir das propostas de metodologias ativas de ensino

The lack of motivation and the excessive quantity of subject memorization are some of the main causes for the disinterest of students when learning chemistry. To change this scene, it's necessary that the teachers reinvent themselves and innovate during their classes, making use of alternative methodologies for the chemistry teaching process. The objectives of this work are to evaluate, from a constructive methodology approach, the characteristics, possibilities and limitations of some techniques and methods of teaching. This analysis allowed to present the results in the form of a table summarizing these characteristics and can be useful for teachers to choose the right strategy to be used

Estudo comparativo do custo da semeadura direta na cultura do milho utilizando duas metodologias

The present work is about a comparative study of two methodologies (MIALHE and ASABE), used to calculate the cost per hectare in the tillage operation in the culture of corn. The methodology of ASABE presents a higher cost per hectare in relation to the MIALHE proposal, being that the methodologies presents similar costs related to the depreciation expenses, accommodation and insurance. The differences were that in the ASABE proposal, the biggest expenses involved the payment of interest, fuel, lube and handwork, while in the MIALHE methodology, only the expense regarding to maintenance was more. The methodology of ASABE most suitable for management costs per hectare.
