Projecte bàsic i d'execució de rehabilitació i ampliació d'edifici plurifamiliar entre mitgeres situat al Carrer Roger de Flor, 105 de Granollers (Barcelona)

L’edifici a rehabilitar està situat en una important avinguda de l’eixample oest de Granollers. En l’actualitat l’edifici es troba a ple rendiment, amb l’ús de magatzem i obrador a la planta baixa i planta primera, i com a habitatge a les plantes segona i tercera. En concret es tracta de la formació d’un total de 6 habitatges i 5 trasters, a més de la reforma general del nucli de comunicació vertical on s’incorpora l’ascensor i la construcció de la paret mitgera que delimitarà l’espai de l’edifici en la seva projecció vertical. La rehabilitació també té com a objectiu reforçar els forjats, en els quals s’ha detectat aluminosi, així com l’enderroc d’envans a la segona i tercera planta per construir una millor distribució que permeti augmentar el nombre d’habitatges per planta

To walk on this universe, a huge numer of authors that deeply studyed about the circus ans the clowns, like: Avanzi; Tamaoki (2004), Bolognesi (2003), Castro (2005), Pantano (2007), Ruiz (1987), Silva (1997) e Torres (1998).

The reflections enabled to conclude that a clown doesn't born done; it becomes in the cultural trajectory, in which all the human are inserted

Nest architecture and population dynamics of the Ponerinae ant, Ectatomma opaciventre Roger (Hymenoptera : Formicidae)

Eleven nests of Ectatomma opaciventre were collected from January to December, 1994, in Rio Claro, SP, southeastern Brazil. This species excavates their nests up to 68 cm deep, containing 3, 4 or 5 chambers. The hole of entrance has a chimney-like rigid structure, with up to 2/5 cm high. The most numerous colonies were found in January and February, with 47 and 62 adult ants, respectively. The quantity of individuals decreased from March, being observed colonies with only 9 adult ants in June and July. The colony population increased again since September. Reproductive forms (winged ants) were observed between October and February. We did not observed immature stages in July, but they were numerous between September and March. There was a significant correlation between the number of colony individuals and temperature, but not between the number of colony individuals and relative humidity and rainfall. E. opaciventre is a species of hunter ants which have not an efficient recruitment system for food collecting, consequently their colonies are small due to the scarcity of food resources during the colder and dry months.
