The secondary stars in cataclysmic variables (CVs) are key to our understanding of the origin, evolution and behaviour of this class of interacting binary. In seeking a fuller understanding of these objects, the challenge for observers is to obtain images of the secondary star. This goal can be achieved through Roche tomography, an indirect imaging technique that can be used to map the Roche-lobe-filling secondary. The review begins with a description of the basic principles that underpin Roche tomography, including methods for determining the system parameters. Finally, we conclude with a look at the main scientific highlights to date, including the first unambiguous detection of starspots on AE Aqr B, and consider the future prospects of this technique.

Roche tomography is a powerful tool for imaging the surfaces of stars. We have applied it to two contrasting systems, a normal dwarf nova, RU Peg, and the peculiar intermediate polar AE Aqr. Despite these differences, the Roche tomograms of the cool stars in the two systems are remarkably similar. We compare them with tomograms of two other stars, and discuss the differences and similarities. The rotation speed may be critical in determining the surface appearance, and it is strongly recommended that a Roche tomogram be obtained for the bright CV SS Cygni, which would be the fastest-rotating secondary to be studied. In addition, V426 Oph should be re-observed.

The aims of this study were to investigate work conditions, to estimate the prevalence and to describe risk factors associated with Computer Vision Syndrome among two call centers' operators in Sao Paulo (n = 476). The methods include a quantitative cross-sectional observational study and an ergonomic work analysis, using work observation, interviews and questionnaires. The case definition was the presence of one or more specific ocular symptoms answered as always, often or sometimes. The multiple logistic regression model, were created using the stepwise forward likelihood method and remained the variables with levels below 5% (p < 0.05). The operators were mainly female and young (from 15 to 24 years old). The call center was opened 24 hours and the operators weekly hours were 36 hours with break time from 21 to 35 minutes per day. The symptoms reported were eye fatigue (73.9%), "weight" in the eyes (68.2%), "burning" eyes (54.6%), tearing (43.9%) and weakening of vision (43.5%). The prevalence of Computer Vision Syndrome was 54.6%. Associations verified were: being female (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.6 to 4.1), lack of recognition at work (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1 to 1.8), organization of work in call center (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1 to 1.7) and high demand at work (OR 1.1, 95% CI 1.0 to 1.3). The organization and psychosocial factors at work should be included in prevention programs of visual syndrome among call centers' operators.

O cultivo da macieira na região sul do Brasil tem sido efetuado, em geral, sem o uso da irrigação. Entretanto, têm ocorrido períodos frequentes de déficit hídrico durante o ciclo, afetando, principalmente o crescimento inicial das plantas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da irrigação sobre o estado nutricional de duas cultivares de macieira.
