O recurso a sistemas de refrigeração é indispensável nos dias actuais. Esta importante área da engenharia vem sendo aperfeiçoada através dos séculos para atender às diversas necessidades geradas com a evolução do estilo de vida da humanidade. Nos dias actuais, é praticamente impossível dissociar as actividades da sociedade moderna dos benefícios proporcionados pelas tecnologias de refrigeração. Como consequência, também é indispensável o uso da energia eléctrica para o accionamento dos motores e outros equipamentos associados a esses sistemas. Ao longo deste trabalho, os conceitos termodinâmicos e os componentes dos sistemas de refrigeração são abordados, de modo a permitir o projecto de instalações frigoríficas optimizadas energeticamente. Os aspectos teóricos serão destacados, para que se possa definir o perfil termodinâmico das instalações frigoríficas em expansão directa e em sistema inundado. A partir dos conceitos básicos, serão descritos os ciclos de refrigeração e as suas variações. O balanço energético de uma instalação frigorífica permite todo o projecto termodinâmico da instalação, a selecção dos equipamentos e acessórios necessários ao bom funcionamento do sistema, não perdendo de vista a sua eficiência energética. A eficiência energética da instalação é um factor importante, como tal, é pertinente confrontar duas tipologias diferentes de projecto associadas a uma câmara frigorífica. Para tal objectivo, é tipificada uma câmara de congelados de dimensões apreciáveis, para a qual serão projectados os sistemas alvo de comparação. A instalação em sistema inundado apresenta melhor eficiência frigorífica e menor custo de exploração, no entanto, é necessário um investimento inicial elevado.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo principal projetar uma sala de máquinas de um entreposto na zona de Montemor-o-Novo, com a finalidade de armazenar produtos congelados e refrigerados. As cargas térmicas interiores e exteriores foram calculadas de modo a projetar os equipamentos do sistema frigorífico. A solução principal passará por um sistema inundado a R717 com dois estágios de pressão. Os componentes da sala de máquinas foram dimensionados de modo a que desempenhassem as suas funções de forma eficiente e segura. A segurança da sala de máquinas foi idealizada de acordo com as normas europeias. Este estudo permite observar que o amoníaco, embora de origem natural, é um fluido frigorigéneo que exige várias precauções ao nível da segurança dos equipamentos, da construção e da formação dos trabalhadores. Um sistema de expansão direta a R404A foi considerado como solução alternativa, por forma, a avaliar um sistema menos dispendioso e eficiente comparativamente com caso de estudo indicado. Esta comparação permite constatar que o sistema inundado a amoníaco, embora seja caracterizado por elevados custos com a instalação, manutenção e segurança, é o mais indicado para o caso de estudo, dadas as suas grandes necessidades frigoríficas. A utilização de um sistema de expansão direta a R404A não necessitará de cuidados tão elaborados com a segurança, dado que o R404A não é tóxico ou inflamável, tornando-o um sistema mais adequado para instalações de menores dimensões.

A volatilização de amônia (NH3) e a nitrificação seguida pela desnitrificação são os principais mecanismos de perdas de N nos solos alagados destinados ao cultivo do arroz. Se os fertilizantes nitrogenados não forem manejados adequadamente, os índices de recuperação de N pelas plantas serão muito baixos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi quantificar a volatilização de amônia em solos alagados influenciada pela forma de aplicação de ureia, em casa de vegetação. Foram conduzidos dois experimentos, sendo um em Cambissolo (Thermic Vertic Haplaquepts), no Estado do Mississippi, EUA, e outro em Gleissolo (Entisol Aeric Typic), em Santa Catarina, Brasil. A captação de amônia foi realizada por esponjas acidificadas, colocadas dentro de tubos de PVC (15 cm de diâmetro e 60 cm de altura) encravados dentro de baldes com 15 cm de espessura de solo, sem a presença de plantas. Em cada vaso, foram aplicados 353 mg de N, equivalente a 200 kg ha-1 de N, nas seguintes formas: ureia sólida aplicada sobre a superfície do solo úmido, sem alagamento posterior; ureia solubilizada em água deionizada e aplicada sobre a lâmina de água de alagamento; ureia sólida aplicada sobre a lâmina de água de alagamento; ureia incorporada na lama, seguida de alagamento; ureia aplicada sobre solo seco, seguida de alagamento 48 h depois; e uma testemunha alagada (sem N). As esponjas captadoras de amônia foram trocadas ao serem completados 1, 3, 6, 9, 13, 17 e 22 dias de alagamento, e nelas determinou-se a quantidade de amônia volatilizada. Na água de alagamento do solo, determinaram-se o pH e a concentração de amônio. A emissão de amônia variou com a forma de aplicação da ureia, e o comportamento foi similar nos dois solos. A volatilização de amônia na testemunha foi insignificante. Nos tratamentos com ureia, as menores perdas ocorreram quando ela foi incorporada na lama (com posterior alagamento) seguida pela aplicação em solo seco com alagamento 48 h após, tendo atingido, respectivamente, 4 e 15 % do N aplicado no Cambissolo (CXbe) e 6 e 10 % no Gleissolo (GXbd). As maiores perdas ocorreram quando a ureia foi aplicada na lâmina de água, tanto na forma líquida (34 % no CXbe e 38 % no GXbd) quanto na sólida (29 % no CXbe e 37 % no GXbd), seguida pela ureia aplicada em solo úmido, sem alagamento (26 % no CXbe e 22 % no GXbd). A fim de evitar excessiva volatilização de amônia em solos cultivados com arroz no sistema inundado, a ureia deve ser aplicada na lama ou em condições de solo seco e, em ambos os casos, seguida de alagamento imediato.

Multi-element analyses of sediment samples from the Santos-Cubatão Estuarine System were carried out to investigate the spatial and seasonal variability of trace-element concentrations. The study area contains a rich mangrove ecosystem that is a habitat for tens of thousands of resident and migratory birds, some of them endangered globally. Enrichments of metals in fine-grained surface sediments are, in decreasing order, Hg, Mn, La, Ca, Sr, Cd, Zn, Pb, Ba, Cu, Cr, Fe, Nb, Y, Ni and Ga, relative to pre-industrial background levels. The maximum enrichment ranged from 49 (Hg) to 3.1 (Ga). Mercury concentrations were greater in the Cubatão river than in other sites, while the other elements showed greater concentrations in the Morrão river. Concentrations of Mn were significantly greater in winter and autumn than in summer and spring. However, other elements (e.g. Cd and Pb) showed the opposite, with greater concentrations in summer and spring. This study suggests that seasonal changes in physical and chemical conditions may affect the degree of sediment enrichment and therefore make the assessment of contamination difficult. Consequently, these processes need to be considered when assessing water quality and the potential contamination of biota.

A solid-phase in-line extraction system for water samples containing low levels of emerging contaminants is described. The system was specially developed for large volume samples (up to 4 L) using commercial solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges. Four sets containing PTFE-made connectors, brass adapters and ball valves were used to fit SPE cartridges and sample bottles to a 4-port manifold attached to a 20 L carboy. A lab-made vacuum device was connected to the manifold cap. The apparatus is robust and less expensive than the typical available system. Its also provides less experimental handling, avoiding cross contamination and sample losses.

The difficulty in adapting European dairy cows breeds in Brazil affect considerably the milk production sector. Brazilian climatic conditions are not totally favorable and the development of new tecnologies is needed for the animals express their genetic potential, as well as their best feed conversion. An economical analysis of the applied investment in the free-stall climatization equipment in dairy housing, for estimating studies related to profit, possibility of return investment as well as time for this return is necessary. The objective of this research was to evaluate the influence of climatization investment in the milk production process and analyze the economical aspect of this investment. There were used 470 high productive dairy cows with genetic and morphologic homogeneous characteristics, and analyzed in two similar periods. Investment calculations were done using Excell®. The results were satisfactory and the invested capital was proved to return to the producer in a short term, 57 days.

In the last few years the sugar-cane mechanical harvested area has increased, especially in regions with appropriated slop. The use of this technology brings some inconveniences, such as, the increase in the percentage of extraneous matter, which causes the reduction of technological quality of the raw material, and losses in the field. Extraneous matter (trash) is composed of tops and leaves in major percentage, plus soil and roots, and eventually some metal parts. In the green cane harvest system the percentage of extraneous matter has a tendency to increase due to the great amount of vegetal matter to be processed. The increase in the blower fan speed to reduce the amount of extraneous matter can lead to an unacceptable economic level of raw material losses. The main objective of this work was, using a cane loss monitor, to evaluate and quantify the amount of visible losses of sugar cane through the primary extractor at two different fan speeds. Afterwards these losses were related to the harvester cleaning efficiency. The piezoelectric transducer shows a reasonable sensibility. The results show that the cleaning efficiency in the primary extractor (85% mean), the cane losses (between 5.68% and 2.15%) and fan speed are interrelated. The total losses and specially splinters (between 3.19% and 0.91%), showed a significant difference among the treatments.

One of the problems found in mechanical harvest of sugar cane is the lack of synchronism between the harvest machine and the infield wagon, causing crop losses as well as operational capacity. The objective of the present research was to design a system capable of helping to synchronize the sugar cane harvest machine with the wagon. The communication between tractor and harvest machine is wireless. Two ultrasound sensors coupled to the elevator and a microprocessor manage such information, generating a correct synchronization among the machines. The system was tested in laboratory and on field performing its function adequately, maintaining the two machines in synchronization, indicating and alerting the operators their relative positions. The developed system reduced the sugar cane lost in 60 kg ha-1 comparing to the harvest with the system turned off.

Soil waterlogging and the subsequent reduction in the amount of oxygen available for the respiration of the root system selected, along the evolutive process, plants able to thrive in seasonally or permanently flooded areas. In neotropical plants there are many types of adaptations to flooding. In this paper we present the results of the work carried out with seeds and seedlings of C brasiliense subjected to hypoxia during germination and early development. C brasiliense seeds are not photoblastic and survive up to three months burried in a water saturated substrate, but germination only takes place in well-drained soils. Soil waterlogging does not inhibit seedling growth and there are no apparent morphological changes of the aerial part of flooded plants. New and aerated roots that make plant survival possible replace old and spoiled roots. In contrast to many typical species of flood-prone areas where growth is inhibited by oxygen stress. C. brasiliense seedlings seem to be well adapted to their waterlogged environment. Seed dispersion, the absence of photoblastic response as well as seed and seedling capacity of surviving and growing in waterlogged soils contribute to the wide geographic distribution of C. brasiliense always associated with areas subjected to soil waterlogging.

The MINUS system was developed as a minimally invasive procedure that uses a diaphyseal cephalic extramedullary implant for the treatment of transtrochanteral fractures of the femur in elderly patients. The implant consists of a sliding screw coupled to a plate adapted to the minimally invasive technique. The surgical access is approximately three centimeters in length located on the lateral surface of the hip, below the projection of the small trochanter. A perfectly adapted instrument was used for the procedure, which also requires the use of an image intensifier, reducing surgery time and rate of bleeding. The objective of this study is to present a new instrument and implant, developed specifically for treatment with the minimally invasive technique, reducing the length of the conventional surgical access from 10 to three centimetres. This new implant was given the commercial name of MINUS System.

Problems identified in the study and analysis of the phonology of Brazilian Indian languages belonging to the Macro-Jê branch such as Kaingang, Maxakali, and Mebengokre led the author to confirm the accuracy of some intuitions on the part of Piggott (1992) and Rice (1993) on dealing with relations between nasality and sonorancy (D'Angelis 1998). The applicability of the approach to the distinct processes of nasality and nasalization in Portuguese was verified with surprising results that recover some intuitions of Trubetzkoy (1939) and contribute to reconfirm the Mattoso Câmara's (1953; 1970) considerations, but at the same time go beyond them. This article presents the result of this investigation and its conclusions that suggest the validity and the necessity of reexamining even the phonemic inventory of the Portuguese language, an issue not at all questioned in the teaching of phonology, to take into account the linguistic changes in the phonological system of that language in the last fifty years.

This text which discusses the central theme of the National Conference on Education (CONAE), held in Brasília from 28th March to 1st April 2010, deals with the concept of a National System of Education in articulation with the National Plan of Education. To that end, after pointing to the basic uses of the concept of system, it discusses the question of the National System of Education exploring the federative question in order to reveal the complete compatibility of the organization of the National System of Education with the federative regime. Thereafter, it deals with the historical meaning of the National Plan of Education demonstrating that the plan is a demand of the system, since planned action is implicit in systematized education. Thus the National Plan of Education is fulfilling those goals and objectives for which it is responsible.
