Rigidez do papelão ondulado: comparação entre resultados experimentais e os obtidos por cálculo analítico

Cardboard packing for horticultural products has as main function to protect them. The design of a cardboard packing request the knowledge of the bending stiffens which is depending on the modulus of elasticity. The objective of this work was to calculate the cardboard modulus of elasticity from data obtained in laboratory using physical characterization test, with different methods, and comparing the results with the values obtained experimentally. Ten samples of each cardboard selected for this study were tested in the paper fabrication direction and in its transverse direction. The papers liner and medium resistance to the traction, used to calculate the bending stiffness, was determined in a universal machine test. To obtaining of the bending stiffens the four points test was accomplished. Expressive variations among the methods from which the modulus of elasticity is obtained were observed and that influence the bending stiffness of the structure. The stiffness values obtained experimentally were always greater than the values obtained from analytical method. This difference can be attributed to two factors, the production processes that assurance a larger rigidity than the components separately and the addition of the adhesive layer that is not taken in consideration in the analytic calculations.

Effects of exercise on leukocyte death: prevention by hydrolyzed whey protein enriched with glutamine dipeptide

Lymphocyte and neutrophil death induced by exercise and the role of hydrolyzed whey protein enriched with glutamine dipeptide (Gln) supplementation was investigated. Nine triathletes performed two exhaustive exercise trials with a 1-week interval in a randomized, double blind, crossover protocol. Thirty minutes before treadmill exhaustive exercise at variable speeds in an inclination of 1% the subjects ingested 50 g of maltodextrin (placebo) or 50 g of maltodextrin plus 4 tablets of 700 mg of hydrolyzed whey protein enriched with 175 mg of glutamine dipeptide dissolved in 250 mL water. Cell viability, DNA fragmentation, mitochondrial transmembrane potential and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were determined in lymphocytes and neutrophils. Exhaustive exercise decreased viable lymphocytes but had no effect on neutrophils. A 2.2-fold increase in the proportion of lymphocytes and neutrophils with depolarized mitochondria was observed after exhaustive exercise. Supplementation of maltodextrin plus Gln (MGln) prevented the loss of lymphocyte membrane integrity and the mitochondrial membrane depolarization induced by exercise. Exercise caused an increase in ROS production by neutrophils, whereas supplementation of MGln had no additional effect. MGln supplementation partially prevented lymphocyte apoptosis induced by exhaustive exercise possibly by a protective effect on mitochondrial function.

Ordenamento pesqueiro da manjuba em ??rea de preserva????o ambiental

??rea de Prote????o Ambiental (APA) ?? uma Unidade de Conserva????o de uso direto, onde a estrat??gia de gerenciamento visa compatibilizar as atividades humanas com a preserva????o da vida silvestre, a prote????o dos recursos naturais, e a estabilidade e a melhoria da qualidade de vida das popula????es envolvidas. A APA Federal Canan??ia/Iguape/Peru??be, na Regi??o do Vale do Ribeira, sudeste do Estado de S??o Paulo possui uma extens??o de 234.000 ha, abrangendo 7 munic??pios e 6 ilhas oce??nicas, com sede administrativa em Iguape. Foi criada com o objetivo de proteger o Complexo Estuarino-Lagunar de Iguape-Canan??ia-Paranagu??, um dos principais ecossistemas do planeta, por tratar-se de viveiro natural de organismos aqu??ticos. Este complexo ?? constitu??do pelo ecossistema Mata Atl??ntica, restingas e mangues, cost??es rochosos e lagunas. Se destaca a Bacia Hidrogr??fica do rio Ribeira de Iguape que nasce no Estado do Paran?? e desagua no Oceano Atl??ntico (Iguape, SP). A ??rea apresenta caracter??sticas de um reduzido desenvolvimento econ??mico regional. Nos munic??pios do litoral, o turismo e a pesca s??o relevantes. Em rela????o ?? pesca, o principal recurso ?? a manjuba (Anchoviella lepidentostole), esp??cie an??droma que migra do oceano para o rio, no ver??o, para a desova. Esta pesca ?? realizada por popula????es ribeirinhas e pescadores artesanais, constituindo-se na atividade econ??mica de maior rentabilidade. Devido ?? sobrepesca e explora????o na ??rea da foz do rio, conjugadas com problemas ambientais, o rendimento do recurso declinou nas d??cadas de 80 e 90, resultando em grandes preju??zos e gerando muitos conflitos sociais. At?? o ano de 1990, a pesca da manjuba, que ocorre em ??poca de Piracema, era autorizada pelo IBAMA durante todo o per??odo de safra (outubro a mar??o) atrav??s de portarias regionais. Foi institu??do o primeiro per??odo de defeso (dezembro-janeiro), para a safra 1990/1991; isto resultou em manifesta????es veementes de desagravo pela comunidade local, pelos industriais da pesca e pelo setor pol??tico. A atitude de rebeldia ?? medida tomada pelo ??rg??o ambiental era uma constante, resultando em confrontos entre os pescadores e os fiscais e um conseq??ente desgaste da institui????o. Al??m disto, a quest??o da pesca predat??ria na foz do rio tinha que ser, tamb??m, levada em considera????o
