O USO DE MAPAS MENTAIS E CONCEITUAIS PARA MATERIALIZAÇÃO DO PENSAMENTO HUMANO

O presente artigo aborda os resultados parciais do projeto intitulado O USO DE MAPAS MENTAIS E CONCEITUAIS: ESTÍMULO À APRESENTAÇÃO DE IDEIAS E MATERIALIZAÇÃO DO PENSAMENTO HUMANO, que teve como fruto o curso Mapas em Ação em 2018 na UFRRJ. Ele apresenta a percepção dos alunos sobre a experiência em aprender a construir mapas mentais e conceituais, como um instrumento auxiliar da aprendizagem. Trata-se de um estudo de caso, de natureza quanti-qualitativa e exploratória. Os resultados preliminares, de forma em geral, demonstraram satisfação em relação a vários aspectos (infraestrutura, ao conteúdo, formato e dinâmica das aulas) e reconheceram a utilidade e benefícios proporcionados pelos mapas quanto à facilidade e mais agilidade na aprendizagem e apreensão do conhecimento. Pretende-se ampliar a oferta do curso para um maior número de interessados, divulgando o potencial desses mapas, ainda não substancialmente desconhecidos. Espera-se com a continuidade poder coletar dados suficientes para consolidar resultado

Desenvolvimento vegetativo e tensão da água no solo em videiras para suco sobre dois porta-enxertos.

RESUMO: O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o efeito de dois porta-enxertos sobre o desenvolvimento vegetativo e as tensões da água no solo em videiras destinadas à elaboração de suco, sob condições irrigadas. As avaliações foram realizadas de agosto a dezembro de 2015 no município de Votuporanga (SP), com a cultivar Isabel Precoce enxertada sobre os portaenxertos ?IAC 572? e ?IAC 766?. As plantas foram sustentadas no sistema espaldeira e irrigadas por microaspersores. Tensiômetros foram instalados a 0,10 m e 0,30 m de profundidade, para monitorar as tensões da água no solo. Foram determinados os índices de área foliar, a altura da copa e a porcentagem da área sombreada das videiras. As tensões da água no solo apresentaram comportamento semelhante nos dois porta-enxertos. Não foram observadas diferenças significativas entre as variáveis de crescimento vegetativo nas videiras. Concluiu-se que os porta-enxertos ?IAC 572? e ?IAC 766? não afetaram o desenvolvimento vegetativo e as tensões da água no solo para a cultivar Isabel Precoce, em condições irrigadas. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: viticultura, irrigação, evapotranspiraçã

9^9Be+120^{120}Sn scattering at near-barrier energies within a four body model

Cross sections for elastic and inelastic scattering of the weakly-bound $^9$Be nucleus on a $^{120}$Sn target have been measured at seven bombarding energies around and above the Coulomb barrier. The elastic angular distributions are analyzed with a four-body continuum-discretized coupled-channels (CDCC) calculation, which considers $^9$Be as a three-body projectile ($\alpha$ + $\alpha$ + n). An optical model analysis using the S\~ao Paulo potential is also shown for comparison. The CDCC analysis shows that the coupling to the continuum part of the spectrum is important for the agreement with experimental data even at energies around the Coulomb barrier, suggesting that breakup is an important process at low energies. At the highest incident energies, two inelastic peaks are observed at 1.19(5) and 2.41(5) MeV. Coupled-channels (CC) calculations using a rotational model confirm that the first inelastic peak corresponds to the excitation of the 2$_1^+$ state in $^{120}$Sn, while the second one likely corresponds to the excitation of the 3$_1^-$ state.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figures.

Investigation of the fusion process for B 10 + Au 197 at near-barrier energies

In a previous work, we presented data for the B10+Au197 system, corresponding to quasielastic and elastic scattering, Au197 inelastic excitation, and one neutron pickup transfer, measuring the angular distribution of scattered beam-like ejectiles at several energies around the Coulomb barrier. In this paper, we present data for the fusion process of the same system, at several energies around the Coulomb barrier, as well as new data for one neutron pickup and stripping transfer. In this case, we detected offline γ rays stemming from the β-delayed decay chain of fusion-evaporation residues and heavy transfer products. As in our previous work, we analyzed this data set with coupled reaction channels calculations using the São Paulo potential. We show that the coupling to the one neutron transfer channel is quite important to describe the fusion data at the sub-barrier energy region. We also provide a comparison of the experimental fusion cross sections obtained for B10+Au197 with data for several other systems involving the same target nucleus.Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET, Argentina) PIP00786COFondo para la Investigacin Cientfica y Tecnolgica (FONCYT, Argentina) PICT-2017-4088Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP, Brazil) 2018/09998-8, 2019/07767-1, 2019/05769-7Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq, Brazil) 302160/2018-3, 304056/2019-7Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades PGC2018-096994-B-C2

Gel–Polymer Electrolytes Based on Poly(Ionic Liquid)/Ionic Liquid Networks

The use of electrically charged, polymerized ionic liquids (polyILs) offers opportunities for the development of gel–polymer electrolytes (GPEs), but the rational design of such systems is in its infancy. In this work, we compare the properties of polyIL/IL GPEs based on 1-butyl-3-(4-vinylbenzyl)imidazolium bis(trifluromethanesulfonyl)imide containing trapped ammonium-based protic ionic liquids (ILs) with an analogous series based on the electrically neutral host polymer 1-(4-vinylbenzyl)imidazole. The materials are synthesized by photopolymerizing ionic and neutral monomers in the presence of diethylmethylammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate, [dema][TfO], diethylmethylammonium trifluoroacetate, [dema][TFAc], and diethylmethylammonium bis[trifluoromethanesulfonyl]imide, [dema][Tf2N], respectively. The resulting materials are characterized using electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and AC-impedance analysis. Spectroscopic analysis confirms that the ILs are distributed throughout the polymers, unless the GPE also contains poly(diallyldimethylammonium) bis[trifluoromethanesulfonyl]imide, when separation of the components occurs. The polyIL/IL GPEs are more electrochemically and thermally stable, and up to six times more conductive, than the materials based on the neutral host. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, we show that polyIL/IL gels can be 3D printed using readily available 3D-printing hardware

Sustainability of bioenergy – Mapping the risks & benefits to inform future bioenergy systems

Bioenergy is widely included in energy strategies for its GHG mitigation potential. Bioenergy technologies will likely have to be deployed at scale to meet decarbonisation targets, and consequently biomass will have to be increasingly grown/mobilised. Sustainability risks associated with bioenergy may intensify with increasing deployment and where feedstocks are sourced through international trade. This research applies the Bioeconomy Sustainability Indicator Model (BSIM) to map and analyse the performance of bioenergy across 126 sustainability issues, evaluating 16 bioenergy case studies that reflect the breadth of biomass resources, technologies, energy vectors and bio-products. The research finds common trends in sustainability performance across projects that can inform bioenergy policy and decision making. Potential sustainability benefits are identified for People (jobs, skills, income, energy access); for Development (economy, energy, land utilisation); for Natural Systems (soil, heavy metals), and; for Climate Change (emissions, fuels). Also, consistent trends of sustainability risks where focus is required to ensure the viability of bioenergy projects, including for infrastructure, feedstock mobilisation, techno-economics and carbon stocks. Emission mitigation may be a primary objective for bioenergy, this research finds bioenergy projects can provide potential benefits far beyond emissions - there is an argument for supporting projects based on the ecosystem services and/or economic stimulation they may deliver. Also given the broad dynamics and characteristics of bioenergy projects, a rigid approach of assessing sustainability may be incompatible. Awarding ‘credit’ across a broader range of sustainability indicators in addition to requiring minimum performances in key areas, may be more effective at ensuring bioenergy sustainability
