Implantació d'un Porta-foli Docent sobre Sakai per a l'avaluació dels TFG's

El projecte ha consistit en: analitzar i avaluar les eines del porta-foli, decidir quines són útils i de quina manera s'han d'utilitzar per a la implantació d'un porta-foli pels TFG's, crear un prototipus de porta-foli pels TFG's que permeti entregar les activitats i la seva avaluació i el prototipus també permet definir les competències i indicadors associades a una activitat.

Studies on prevalence of Strongyloides infection in Holambra and Maceió, Brazil, by the agar plate faecal culture method

Prevalence of Strongyloides stercoralis infection in three areas of Brazil was surveyed by a recently developed faecal culture method (an agar plate culture). The Strongyloides infection was confirmed in 11.3% of 432 subjects examined. The diagnostic efficacy of the agar plate culture was as high as 93.9% compared to only 28.5% and 26.5% by the Harada-Mori filter paper culture and faecal concentration methods, when faecal samples were examined simultaneously by these three methods. Among the 49 positive samples, about 60% were confirmed to be positive only by the agar plate culture. These results indicate that the agar plate culture is a sensitive new tool for the correct diagnosis of chronic Strongyloides infection.

Mimosa dasilvae, uma nova Mimosaceae da Amazônia Brasileira

Uma nova espécie de Mimosaceae para a Amazônia Brasileira, denominada Mimosa dasilvae A. S. Silva & R. Secco, é descrita e ilustrada. O novo táxon pertence à secção Habbasia sér. Piresianae Barneby e apresenta afinidades com M. piresii Barneby, da qual difere, principalmente, pelo hábito lianescente, foliólulos menores, glabros e brilhantes na face ventral, e brácteas florais menores.

Influence of the yielding criterion on total forming force in metallic junctions using elastomers

The production of metallic junctions employing elastomers is an unconventional technique that has been in development in the last 20 years. The forming process gets successfull just if a simultaneous compression between the elastomers and the tube takes place. Exact solutions for problems involving forming with elastomers are quite difficult to determine. However, the upper-bound theory can be used in order to predict the necessary load for junctions forming. Thus, it is necessary to develop a model capable to provide an estimate of the total forming force, which is useful to set-up tools and equipments required for the process. In this work, Von Mises, Hill's 1948 and Hill's 1979 associated yielding theories, and the Hosford's theory (1979) as well, were used in order to study the anisotropic behaviour on total forming force of junctions using elastomers, insuring the functionality of the proposed model.

Técnica alternativa de conformação de junção a partir de tubos metálicos

This work presents a technique for the cold forming of thin-walled cylindrical tubes, aimed at obtaining a symmetrical joint with an unconventional forming technique, using elastomer rod. The purpose of this work is to investigate the influence of the anisotropy on the total forming force, through the use of elastomer for obtaining T-junctions, in order to get a better result between experimental values and the analytical solution. For total forming force forecasting, it will be used the upper-bound theory and for a better understanding on the anisotropy behavior of the material, it will be employed the quadratic yielding criterion proposed by Hill. The employed materials for such investigation were Aluminum, Brass and Copper.

Modulazione reversibile dell'attivita catalitica di sistemi tioureidici chirali mediante interazioni con anioni

In questo lavoro di tesi viene proposto un approccio semplice e innovativo allo sviluppo di un sistema catalitico modulabile in maniera reversibile, basato su catalizzatori tioureidici chirali. La modulazione dell’attività catalitica avviene attraverso interazioni tra un determinato anione e i due protoni tioureidici di questi catalizzatori. A seconda del carattere coordinante di un anione, l’interazione che si viene a creare con le tiouree può essere forte, nel caso di anioni coordinanti come gli alogenuri, o debole, nel caso di anioni debolmente coordinanti quali borati. Una forte interazione da parte dell’anione con il catalizzatore si traduce in una inibizione dell’attività catalitica, dal momento che il sito tioureidico non è più disponibile per promuovere eventuali reazioni. Al contrario, un anione debolmente coordinante lascia l’attività catalitica fondamentalmente inalterata, anche in termini di stereoselezione. La reversibilità di questa modulazione è ottenuta sfruttando reazioni di metatesi tra due sali che, risultando nella precipitazione di un sale insolubile, riescono a rimuovere un determinato anione dall’ambiente di reazione per sostituirlo con un altro.

Study of the absorption of organic compounds on biopolymers

This work has been conducted in order to determine the solubility and diffusion coefficients of different aromatic substances in two different grades of polylactic acid (PLA), Amorphous (PDLLA) and Crystalline (PLLA); in particular the focus is on the following terpenes: Linalool, α-Pinene, β-Citronellol and L-Linalool. Moreover, further analyses have been carried out with the aim to verify if the use of neat crystalline PLA, (PLLA), a chiral substrate, may lead to an enantioenrichment of absorbed species in order to use it as membrane in enantioselective processes. The other possible applications of PLA, which has aroused interest in carry out the above-mentioned work, concerns its use in food packaging. Therefore, it is interesting and also very important, to evaluate the barrier properties of PLA, focusing in particular on the transport and absorption of terpenes, by the packaging and, hence, by the PLA. PLA films/slabs of one-millimeter thickness and with square shape, were prepared through the Injection Molding process. On the resulting PLA films heat pretreatment processes of normalizing were then performed to enhance the properties of the material. In order to evaluate solubility and diffusion coefficient of the different penetrating species, the absorption kinetics of various terpenes, in the two different types of PLA, were determined by gravimetric methods. Subsequently, the absorbed liquid was extracted with methanol (MeOH), non- solvent for PLA, and the extract analyzed by the use of High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), in order to evaluate its possible enantiomeric excess. Moreover, PLA films used were subjected to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) which allowed to measure the glass transition temperature (Tg) and to determine the degree of crystallinity of the polymer (Xc).
