Produção de polpas de mangas Tommy Atkins, na Amazônia setentrional, através da aplicação de preservativos e da pasteurização

O presente trabalho avaliou a eficiência da pasteurização e o uso de preservativos em polpas de manga Tommy Atkins (Mangifera indica L.) refrigeradas. Antes da confecção dos tratamentos, os frutos foram higienizados em solução de hipoclorito de sódio (NaOCl) a 100 mg. L-1, por 10 minutos. Após o processamento, foi realizado o ajuste do pH das polpas para 3,0, e o ajuste da atividade de água (Aa) para 0,95. As variáveis utilizadas foram a pasteurização (água fervente a 95 ± 5 ºC, por 0 e 1 minuto), a adição de benzoato de sódio nas concentrações de 0; 200 e 500 mL.L-1 , e dióxido de enxofre (SO2) a 0; 100 e 200 mL.L-1. As polpas foram então embaladas em sacos de polietileno de baixa densidade (PEBD) de 0,060 mm (0,10 x 0,12 m - sem espaço livre e contendo 500g de polpa), e armazenadas em câmara frigorífica a 20 ± 1 ºC e 80 ± 3% de U.R, por 28 dias. Ao final do experimento, os tratamentos não-submetidos à pasteurização apresentaram os maiores níveis de ácido ascórbico. Entretanto, nesses mesmos tratamentos, foram intensa atividade microbiana e elevados níveis de pH. Não foram detectadas diferenças significativas entre os tratamentos testados nas análises de acidez titulável (AT) e sólidos solúveis (SS). Devido à ausência de escurecimento nas polpas trabalhadas, durante todo o período experimental, não se podem detectar as diferenças entre a aplicação do SO2 e a utilização da pasteurização. O menor índice de contaminação microbiológica e a preferência dos julgadores no painel sensorial foram atribuídos aos tratamentos submetidos à pasteurização, adição de benzoato de sódio a 500 mL.L-1 e adição de dióxido de enxofre a 200 mL.L-1.

Estudio clínico comparativo de la eficacia de azitromicina frente a amoxicilina/Ac. Clavulánico en el tratamiento de infecciones orales.

Fundamentos: el objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la eficacia. seguridad y tolerancia de la azitromicina frente a amoxicilina/ac. clavulánico en el tratamiento de pacientes con infecciones bucales agudas de origen odontogénico. Pacientes y Método: en este estudio abierto, comparativo y multicéntrico, se incluyeron 208 pacientes con infección bucal aguda de origen odontogénico, asignados aleatoriamente a dos grupos; 102 pacientes recibieron azitromicina, y 106 pacientes recibieron amoxicilina/ac. clavulánico. Se realizaron una historia clínica y una exploración física, y se tomaron muestras de sangre y orina. En cada una de las visitas, se recogieron los signos y síntomas característicos de la infección. Resultados: el nivel de respuesta fue similar en ambos grupos terapéuticos, obteniéndose un porcentaje de curación o mejoría superior al 90%. Azitromicina fue mejor tolerada y tuvo mejor cumplimiento que amoxicilina/ac. clavulánico. Los efectos adversos fueron en su mayoría gastrointestinales. Conclusión: Azitromicina y amoxicilina/clavulánico fueron igualmente efectivos en el tratamiento de infecciones agudas de origen odontogénico.

Developing of AC magnetometer and investigation of magnetic properties of LSMO

In this work AC magnetometer was developed and primary test measurements were performed for temperature range from 77 K up to 350 K in frequency range from 1 kHz up to 20 kHz. In the course of the present work dependencies of magnetization on temperature for Lao7Sr03Mni _yFeyO3 with y = 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 were obtained in DC magnetic field using SQUID magnetometer and in AC magnetic field using the developed AC magnetometer. Lai.XSrXMnO3 (LSMO) compounds belong to the class of Mn perovskites, which demonstrate very high degree of spin polarization. These materials are of great importance for nowadays applications in spintronics, where spin polarized electron transport is used. Spin glass like behavior was found as a characteristic feature of these solid solutions with the freezing temperature in the range 65 — 210 K.

Active du/dt Filtering for Variable-Speed AC Drives

An oscillating overvoltage has become a common phenomenon at the motor terminal in inverter-fed variable-speed drives. The problem has emerged since modern insulated gate bipolar transistors have become the standard choice as the power switch component in lowvoltage frequency converter drives. Theovervoltage phenomenon is a consequence of the pulse shape of inverter output voltage and impedance mismatches between the inverter, motor cable, and motor. The overvoltages are harmful to the electric motor, and may cause, for instance, insulation failure in the motor. Several methods have been developed to mitigate the problem. However, most of them are based on filtering with lossy passive components, the drawbacks of which are typically their cost and size. In this doctoral dissertation, application of a new active du/dt filtering method based on a low-loss LC circuit and active control to eliminate the motor overvoltages is discussed. The main benefits of the method are the controllability of the output voltage du/dt within certain limits, considerably smaller inductances in the filter circuit resulting in a smaller physical component size, and excellent filtering performance when compared with typical traditional du/dt filtering solutions. Moreover, no additional components are required, since the active control of the filter circuit takes place in the process of the upper-level PWM modulation using the same power switches as the inverter output stage. Further, the active du/dt method will benefit from the development of semiconductor power switch modules, as new technologies and materials emerge, because the method requires additional switching in the output stage of the inverter and generation of narrow voltage pulses. Since additional switching is required in the output stage, additional losses are generated in the inverter as a result of the application of the method. Considerations on the application of the active du/dt filtering method in electric drives are presented together with experimental data in order to verify the potential of the method.

Classificação de resíduos de madeira tratada com preservativos à base de arseniato de cobre cromatado e de boro/flúor

Classification of waste wood treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) and boron/fluorine preservatives, according to NBR 10004, was investigated. The leaching test (ABNT NBR 10005) for As and Cr, and solubilization test (ABNT NBR 10006) for F, were applied to out-of-service wooden poles. Concentrations of As and Cr in leachates were determined by ICP-MS and of F by ESI. Values for As were higher than 1 mg L-1 classifying the waste as hazardous material (Class I) whereas values for F (> 1.5 mg L-1) were non-hazardous but indicated non-inert material (Class IIA).
