Soil Characteristics Affected By Using The New Conservationist Tillage Tool Rotary Paraplow [características Del Suelo En Respuesta Al Uso De La Herramienta De Labranza Conservacionista Paraplow Rotatorio]
Soil preparation systems with conservationist features aimed at preserving soil and environment are currently very important. To this end, the Rotary Paraplow was created; namely, a new conservationist tool for soil preparation in which a vertical rotary hoe with a traction Paraplow was added. The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of the planting strip generated by the new conservationist tool for the preparation of soil, the Rotary Paraplow. The analysis of the results showed that the Rotary Paraplow produces a wellprepared soil strip that has ideal characteristics for sowing seeds, characterized by a small surface and large subsurface width, which means less exposure of topsoil to erosion.452147156Albiero, D., (2008) Avaliação do preparo empregando o sistema de cultivo conservacionista em faixas com "Paraplow" Rotativo usando análise dimensional, , http://libdigi.unicamp.br/document/?code=vtls000385362, (Consultado: diciembre, 2008)(1997) ASAE Standards 1997, p. 1105. , ASAE (American Society of Agricultural Engineers).

A Simple Green Method For Biodiesel Iodine Number Determination
A simple and green method for the determination of the iodine number in biodiesel is proposed based on the Friedmann procedure for oils and fats adapted for biodiesel. The reagent solutions used are prepared in water with the exception of the standard iodine and the biodiesel solutions that are dissolved in ethanol 96 %. The method was compared with the procedure recommended by the norm EN 14111, which is essentially the Wijs method. Biodiesel derived from several oils and fats were analyzed using the two methods. A statistical comparison between them shows that both offer equivalent results and precision.

A Conceptual Proposal For Self-propelled Açai (euterpe Oleracea Mart.) Harvesters For The Amazon Region [proposta Conceitual De Colhedoras Autopropelidas De Açaí (euterpe Oleracea Mart.) Para A Região Amazônica]
Production of the açai fruit is mainly accomplished through manual collection; but there is a strong trend towards the implementation of commercial crops. Fruit harvesting is carried out exclusively by climbers who risk injury to themselves, besides not being very efficient at harvesting. The aim of this study was to produce design concepts for self-propelled açai harvesters for dry-land forest environments, floodplain forest environments and commercial crops. To this end we used the design methodology of a morphological matrix. The results obtained were the design concepts for the following new harvesters: an açai harvester for native floodplain forests in the wet season; a harvester for both dry-land and native floodplain forests in the dry season; a harvester for commercial crops.432382389Albiero, D., Proposta de uma máquina para colheita mecanizada de babaçu (Orbignya phalerata Mart.) para a agricultura familiar (2007) Acta Amazônica, 37 (3), pp. 337-346Albiero, D., Maciel, A.J.S., Gamero, C.A., Desenvolvimento e projeto de colhedora babaçu (Orbignya phalerata Mart.) para a agricultura familiar nas regiões de matas de transição da Amazônia (2011) Acta Amazônica, 41 (1), pp. 57-68Ayres, J.M., As matas de várzea do Mamirauá (2006) Belém: Sociedade Civil Mamirauá, p. 123Back, N., Metodologia de projeto de produtos industriais (1983), p. 180. , Rio de Janeiro: Guanabara DoisCastro, A., A floresta em jogo - o extrativismo na Amazônia Central (2000), p. 250. , São Paulo: Editora UNESPMenezes, E.M.S., Torres, A.T., Srur, A., U.S. Valor nutricional da polpa de açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart) liofilizada (2008) Acta Amazonica, 38 (2), pp. 355-365Miranda, I.P.A., Rabelo, A., Guia de identificação das palmeiras de porto trombetas (2008) Manaus: INPA, p. 365Muller, A.A., Ambiente Edafo-climático do açaí (2009), http://sistemasdeproducao.cnptia.embrapa.br/FontesHTML/Acai/SistemaProducaoAcai_2ed/paginas/edafo.htm, Disponível em, Acesso em: 20 setNeves, J.L.M., Magalhães, P.S.G., Ota, W.M., Sistema de monitoramento de perdas visíveis de cana-deaçúcar em colhedora de cana picada (2004) Engenharia Agrícola, 24 (3), pp. 764-770Nogueira, O.L., Introdução e importância econômica (2009), http://sistemasdeproducao.cnptia.embrapa.br/FontesHTML/Acai/SistemaProducaoAcai_2ed/paginas/intro.htm, Disponível em.

Moiré Technique Applied In Compression Stress Of Bamboo Guadua [técnica De Moiré Aplicada Al Análisis De Esfuerzos De Compresión En El Bambú Guadua]
Bamboo is considered an important raw material in developing countries because its physical characteristics associate lightness with high mechanical resistance. However its behavior obtained from mechanical tests is not yet well defined. This research work had the objective of evaluating bamboo (Guadua angustifolia) testing specimens under simple uniaxial compression loading. Shadow moiré optical methods had been employed to generate deformation mapping as function of knots (0, 1 or 2). Obtained results indicate that the technique is well adequate in generating iso-deformation contour lines in bamboo specimens.93309322Cloud, G., (1998) Optical method of engineering analysis, , Cambridge University Press, CambridgeHu, Q. 2001. 3-D Shape measurement techniques. http://www.sinc.sunysb.edu/Stu/qhu / Chapterl.htm〉, 06/09/2001Malacara, D., (1992) Optical Shop Testing, , John Wiley & Sons, New YorkPisarev, V.S., Balalov, V.V., A role of fringe patterns catalogue in the course of interferometrically based determination of residual stresses by the hole drilling method (2004) Optics and Laser in Engineering, 41, pp. 411-462. , LondonPost, D., Han, B., Ifju, P., (1994) High Sensitivity Moiré, , Springer, New YorkSaleh, B.E.A., Teich, M.C., (1991) Fundamentals of Photonics, , John Wiley & Sons, New YorkTakasaki, H., Moiré topography (1970) Applied Optics, 9 (6), pp. 1457-146

Normal Probability Plots For Evaluation Of Seeds Distribution Mechanisms In Seeders [gráficos De Probabilidade Normal Para Avaliação De Mecanismos De Distribuição De Sementes Em Semeadoras]
Currently great emphasis is given for seed metering that assist rigorous demands in relation to longitudinal distribution of seeds, as well as to the index of fails in spacing laws, breaks and double seeds. The evaluation of these variable demands much time and work of attainment of data and processing. The objective of this work went propose to use of graphs of normal probability, facilitating the treatment of the data and decreasing the time of processing. The evaluation methodology consists in the counting of broken seeds, fail spacing and double seeds through the measure of the spacing among seeds, preliminary experiments through combinations of treatments had been carried through whose factors of variation were the level of the reservoir of seeds, the leveling of the seed metering, the speed of displacement and dosage of seeds. The evaluation was carried through in two parts, first through preliminary experiments for elaboration of the graphs of normal probability and later in experiments with bigger sampling for evaluation of the influence of the factors most important. It was done the evaluation of seed metering of rotating internal ring, and the amount of necessary data for the evaluation was very decreased through of the graphs of normal probability that facilitated to prioritize only the significant factors. The dosage of seeds was factor that more important because factor (D) have greater significance.332507518Adami, M., Rizzi, R., Moreira, M.A., Rudorff, B.F.T., Ferreira, C.C., Amostragem probabilística estratificada por pontos para estimar a área cultivada de soja (2010) Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 45 (6), pp. 585-592. , BrasíliaAlbiero, D., (2006) Avaliação Do Preparo de Solo Empregando O Sistema de Cultivo Conservacionista em Faixas Com "Paraplow" Rotativo Usando Análise Dimensional., , Dissertação (Mestrado em Engenharia Agrícola) -Universidade Estadual de Campinas, CampinasAlbiero, D., MacIel, A.J.S., Milan, M., Monteiro, L.A., Mion, R.L., Avaliação da distribuição de sementes por uma semeadora de anel interno rotativo utilizando média móvel exponencial (2012) Revista Ciência Agronômica, 43 (1), pp. 86-95. , FortalezaArmas, S., Herrera, L., Amplitud de intervalos de confianza obtenidos por bonferroni de acuerdo al número de vaiables y del tamaño de la muestra en poblaciones multinormales (2008) Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, 49 (2), pp. 95-105. , CaracasBarros Neto, B., Scarminio, I.S., Bruns, R.E., (2003) Como Fazer Experimentos, p. 403. , Campinas: UNICAMPCargnelutti Filho, A., Matzenauer, R., Maluf, J.R.T., Silva, B.P., Tamanho de amostra para estimativa das médias decendiais de radiação solar global no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (2007) Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 31 (5), pp. 1402-1410. , LavrasCarolla, C., Sanches, R., Montiel, E., Modelo estadistico que permite inferir concentración de potasio em composto producido a partir de desechos orgánicos (2007) Revista de la Facultad de Ingenieria Universidad Central de Venezuela, 22 (2), pp. 125-132. , CaracasCasão Jr., R.O., Máquinas e qualidade de semeadura em plantio direto (2006) Revista Plantio Direto, 95 (5), pp. 14-24. , Passo FundoChang, C.S., (1998) Semeadora de Precisão Com Anel Rotativo Interno Vertical e O Distribuidor de Adubo Espiral Cônica, , Patente da UNICAMP INPI (INPI 9802269-5) Campinas: UNICAMPDaniel, C., (1976) Applications of Statistics to Industrial Experimentation, p. 512. , New York: John Wiley and SonsFragiadakis, K., Karlis, D., Meintanis, S.G., Tests of fit for normal inverse gaussian distributions (2009) Statistical Methodology, 6 (7), pp. 559-564. , AmsterdanHeo, J.H., Kho, Y.W., Shin, H., Kim, S., Kim, T., Regression equations of probability plot correlation coeficient test stadistics from several probability distributions (2008) Journal of Hydrology, 355 (2), pp. 1-15. , SilsoeHines, W.W., Montgomery, D.C., Goldsman, D.M., Borror, C.M., (2006) Probabilidade e Estatística Na Engenharia, p. 642. , Rio de Janeiro: LTCKozak, M., Analyzing one-way experiments: A piece of cake or a pain in the neck?
