    Ponencia presentada a Session 8: Dimensiones psicosociales de la arquitectura y el urbanismo / Psycological dimensions of architecture and planningThis article aims to present the methodology and the final results of the elective course “Travel of Studies” which belongs to the new pedagogical project from the Architecture and Urbanism course at the University Federal of Pernambuco. It was offered for the first time in 2013.The discipline was organized to occur in four long weekends through visits of four capitals of the Northeast of Brazil: Recife, João Pessoa, Natal and Maceió. The purpose was to allow the students to apprehend the cities through four axis: intervention in historical center (axis 1), production of urban space (axis 2), production of coastline space (axis 3) and contemporary architecture (axis 4). After the four visits were complete, we prepared a poster with the comparison of the cities based on the identification of the similarities and differences of each axis we have studied

    Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a eficiência de tratamentos físicos e químicos na germinação e no vigor (Índice de Velocidade de Germinação – IVG), em sementes de jurema-preta (Mimosa hostilis Benth.). Os tratamentos testados foram: sementes imersas em H2SO4 (98%) por 1, 5, 10 e 15 minutos; em água, a 100oC, por 1 e 3 minutos; em água à temperatura ambiente, por 36 e 72 horas; escarificação mecânica, por 20 e 40 segundos; choque térmico em estufa a 55oC por 24 e 48 horas e sementes em condições naturais. Os resultados obtidos que a escarificação ácida por 5 a 15 minuts, e a mecânica, por 20 a 40 segundos, mostraram-se mais eficientes na quebra da dormência de sementes dessa espécie

    Desenvolvimento de um PCR multiplex para detecção simultânea de vírus e fitoplasma em mandioca (Manihot esculenta).

    A mandioca (Manihot esculenta Cranz.) é de grande importância por ser considerada a base de segurança alimentar de países em desenvolvimento, sendo a principal fonte de energia na dieta das populações de países pobres. Muitos fatores abióticos (seca) e bióticos (pragas e doenças) contribuem para a baixa produtividade da cultura, dentre eles doenças que podem causar prejuízos consideráveis

    Occurrence of Toxic Cyanobacterial Blooms in Rio de la Plata Estuary, Argentina: Field Study and Data Analysis

    Get PDF
    Water samples were collected during 3 years (2004–2007) at three sampling sites in the Rio de la Plata estuary. Thirteen biological, physical, and chemical parameters were determined on the water samples. The presence of microcystin-LR in the reservoir samples, and also in domestic water samples, was confirmed and quantified. Microcystin-LR concentration ranged between 0.02 and 8.6 μg.L−1. Principal components analysis was used to identify the factors promoting cyanobacteria growth. The proliferation of cyanobacteria was accompanied by the presence of high total and fecal coliforms bacteria (>1500 MNP/100 mL), temperature ≥25°C, and total phosphorus content ≥1.24 mg·L−1. The observed fluctuating patterns of Microcystis aeruginosa, total coliforms, and Microcystin-LR were also described by probabilistic models based on the log-normal and extreme value distributions. The sampling sites were compared in terms of the distribution parameters and the probability of observing high concentrations for Microcystis aeruginosa, total coliforms, and microcystin-LR concentration

    Coactivation of the shoulder and arm muscles during closed kinetic chain exercises on an unstable surface

    Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the electromyography index of muscle coactivation of the following muscle pairs: posterior deltoid and pectoralis major (PD/PM); triceps brachii and biceps brachii (TB/BB); and serratus anterior and upper trapezius (SA/UT) during three different closed kinetic chain exercises (wall-press, bench-press and push-up) on an unstable surface at the maximal load. Methods: A total of 20 healthy sedentary men participated in the study. Integral linear values were obtained from three sustained contractions of six seconds each for the three proposed exercises. Mean coactivation index values were compared using the mixed-effects linear model, with a five percent significance level. Results: Electromyography indexes of muscle coactivation showed significant differences for the PD/PM and TB/BB muscle pairs. No differences were found between exercises for the SA/UT muscle pair. Conclusion: Our results seem to differ from those of previous studies, which reported that the similarity in exercises performed is responsible for the comparable muscle activation levels.Sao Paulo State Research Foundation (Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP)) [2003/13042-1]National Council of Technological and Scientific Development (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq))[309317/2003-7]National Council of Technological and Scientific Development (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq))[502755/2004-0]Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior [CAPES]
