Manual de representação descritiva de recursos eletrônicos no Sistema Agência.

Este Manual reúne as orientações básicas para a representação descritiva e temática de recursos de informação eletrônicos no Sistema Agência, tomando por base o padrão Dublin Core – conjunto de quinze elementos de metadados. As orientações para a representação descritiva dos recursos eletrônicos são baseadas no código de catalogação AACR2 (Código..., 2002; Ribeiro, 1995, 2002) e no uso de vocabulário controlado para a análise e tratamento de assunto (Binagri, 2006; National Agricultural Library, 2008). O Manual traz também, anexo, as orientações para uso das ferramentas “Recurso” e “Banco de Termos”.bitstream/item/16894/1/doc81-8cnptia.pd

Observational Constraints on Visser's Cosmological Model

Theories of gravity for which gravitons can be treated as massive particles have presently been studied as realistic modifications of General Relativity, and can be tested with cosmological observations. In this work, we study the ability of a recently proposed theory with massive gravitons, the so-called Visser theory, to explain the measurements of luminosity distance from the Union2 compilation, the most recent Type-Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) dataset, adopting the current ratio of the total density of non-relativistic matter to the critical density ($\Omega_m$) as a free parameter. We also combine the SNe Ia data with constraints from Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) and CMB measurements. We find that, for the allowed interval of values for $\Omega_m$, a model based on Visser's theory can produce an accelerated expansion period without any dark energy component, but the combined analysis (SNe Ia + BAO + CMB) shows that the model is disfavored when compared with $\Lambda$CDM model.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure

Determination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in water at ng/L level by a simple DLLME-GC-(EI) MS method

Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) is an extraction procedure gaining popularity in the recent years due to the easiness of operation, high enrichment factors, low cost and low consumption of organic solvents. This extraction method, prior to gas chromatography with mass spectrometry detection (GC-MS), was optimized for the determination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in aqueous samples. These were extracted with chlorobenzene (extraction solvent) and acetonitrile (dispersive solvent), allowing an enrichment factor of about 470 for BDE-100. The calibration curve for BDE-100 was linear in the range of 0.005-10 mu g/L, with an average reproducibility of 12% (RSD, %). The LOD, calculated by the signal-tonoise ratio, was 0.5 ng/L for BDE-100 and the recovery ranged from 91-107% for all spiked samples. Relative expanded uncertainty was concentration-dependent, reaching high values near the limit of quantification and decreasing until 14% for concentrations higher than 1 mu g/L of BDE-100. The dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with gas chromatography with mass spectrometry detection (DLLME-GC-MS) method could be successfully applied to the determination of other PBDEs in water samples
