As Ideias Pedagógicas na obra de Frei Manuel do Cenáculo

Neste trabalho procuramos compreender as ideias que nortearam a ação de Frei Manuel do Cenáculo, enquanto reformador de estudos para diferentes níveis e bispo empenhado na formação do clero e dos fiéis da sua diocese. Tomamos como ponto de partida os anteriores trabalhos sobre a atuação política e pastoral de Cenáculo, para sistematizar a ação em defesa do ensino e o seu pensamento pedagógico. Como textos fundamentais para esta análise, salientamos os Cuidados Literários (1791), os documentos relativos ao plano de estudos para a Terceira Ordem de S. Francisco e algumas das cartas pastorais, quer as que o bispo dirigiu para o clero, quer as dirigidas a todos os diocesanos

Fluorescence-Labeled Pyrenesulfonamide Response for Characterizing Polymeric Interfaces in Composite Materials

E-glass fibers were silanized using a 1% (v/v) aqueous solution of γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APES). Pyrene—sulfonamide conjugates were formed by reaction of 1-pyrenesulfonyl chloride (PSC) in acetonitrile (AcN), with the amine groups immobilized on the glass fiber surface. These pyrene—sulfonamide conjugates were used as fluorescence probes, being a relatively simple analytical method to study the coating microstructure of polyorganosiloxane layer on glass fibers. The first aim of this work was to estimate possible interactions of the polyaminosiloxane coating with surrounding molecules of different solvents (solvent accessibility to the chromophore). For this study, the fluorescence response of pyrene—sulfonamide dye (PSA) was correlated with solvent polarity parameters. It was concluded that all the studied solvents were accessible to the chromophore, and they can gather in two groups, depending on their ability to swell the poliorganosiloxane layer. The second objective was to estimate the rigidity of the coating polymer from the temperature dependence of PSA emission. At about 180 K, a sudden change in the behavior of different photophysical parameters of PSA were observed. This phenomenon was interpreted as a density change in the polyaminosiloxane attached to the glass fibersThis research was supported by integrated actions Portugal–Spain, Reference HP1998-0014. J.

Predictive value of PSA velocity over early clinical and pathological parameters in patients with localized prostate cancer who undergo radical retropubic prostatectomy

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the behavior of the prostate specific antigen velocity (PSAV) in localized prostate adenocarcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of 500 men who had localized prostate adenocarcinoma, who underwent radical retropubic prostatectomy between January 1986 and December 1999. The PSAV was calculated for each patient and subsequently, the values were correlated with 5 groups: age, initial PSA value, clinical stage, tumor volume and Gleason score. RESULTS: The behavior of PSAV presented statistic significance with an increment between 1.3 ng/mL and 9.6 ng/mL, ranging from 38.6% and 59.8% when compared with the initial PSA value (p < 0.0001), clinical stage (p = 0.0002), tumor volume (p < 0.0001) and Gleason score (p = 0.0009). CONCLUSION: PSAV up to 2.5 ng/mL/year is associated with factors of good prognosis, such as initial PSA below 10 mg/mL, clinical stage T1, tumor volume below 20% and Gleason score lower than 7.Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), Escola Paulista de Medicina (EPM) Division of UrologyUNIFESP, EPM, Division of UrologySciEL

Absence of squirt singularities for the multi-phase Muskat problem

In this paper we study the evolution of multiple fluids with different constant densities in porous media. This physical scenario is known as the Muskat and the (multi-phase) Hele-Shaw problems. In this context we prove that the fluids do not develop squirt singularities.Comment: 16 page

Towards In-Vitro Point of Care devices for in-situ diagnosis

Electronic and optoelectronic systems and subsystems play an important role to develop In-Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) systems for healthcare, clinical, agro-food, environmental, pharmaceutical research or drug control, among many other applications. Although significant advantages have been described for label-free biosensing technology, still a limitednumber of compact devices for monitoring IVD in-situ have been already developed. In this paper a discussion about the current trends for developing Point-of-Care devices will be analyzed, as well as the future challenges for in-situ In-vitro diagnostic systems

Fatty acid profile of lamb meat from two portuguese autochthonous breeds

In Portugal, sheep and goat meat production accounts for 2.8% of the total meat production in the country; and it is capable of supplying approximately 82% of the domestic demand (INE, 2015). Churra-Galega-Bragançana (CGB) and Bordaleira-entre-Douro-e-Minho (BEDM) are two native breeds of the north of Portugal, classified as endangered lamb breeds. These breeds are exploited for meat production, the former in the Atlantic bio-region and the latter in the Mediterranean area. Production factors, such as breed, have a great influence on nutritional aspects related with the content and quality of fat and fatty acid profile (Frank et al., 2016), which are considered important quality indicators that have a great influence on consumer acceptability (Andersen et al., 2005), especially nowadays as consumers have become increasingly concerned about health and the relationship between meat consumption and saturated fatty acids (Leroy and De Smet, 2019). These autochthonous breeds constitute an important genetic heritage that must be preserved, so assessing their fatty acid profile will allow a correct characterization of these breeds and their products.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

FEM MODAL ANALYSIS FOR DAMAGE DETECTION IN AIRPLANE STRUCTURES

Technics for damage and fatigue detection has become an essential part of Aeronautic industry safety. The duration of service lives of such vehicles can be considerably extended by systematic monitoring of small, possibly undetected, damages to their structures. In this paper, we propose damage detection in airplane structures via modal analysis. By using Finite Element Method numerical models, developed in commercial software, as a first step, we make comparisons of the free vibration frequencies of undamaged models and models where we deliberately introduce damage. We observe the difference in frequency values. In future work we will propose numerical damage indicators based on the modal analysis.

Bulk dynamics for interfacial growth models

We study the influence of the bulk dynamics of a growing cluster of particles on the properties of its interface. First, we define a {\it general bulk growth model} by means of a continuum Master equation for the evolution of the bulk density field. This general model just considers arbitrary addition of particles (though it can be easily generalized to consider substraction) with no other physical restriction. The corresponding Langevin equation for this bulk density field is derived where the influence of the bulk dynamics is explicitly shown. Finally, when it is assumed a well-defined interface for the growing cluster, the Langevin equation for the height field of this interface for some particular bulk dynamics is written. In particular, we obtain the celebrated Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation. A Monte Carlo simulation illustrates the theoretical results.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure

Transiciones térmicas en recubrimientos polisiloxánicos de fibras de vidrio

Se realizó una estimación de las temperaturas de relajación de recubrimientos poliméricos en fibras de vidrio. Para ello, se llevó a cabo el seguimiento de la respuesta fluorescente, en función de la temperatura, de dos fluoróforos químicamente enlazados al recubrimiento polimérico. Las fibras de vidrio fueron tratadas con una disolución acuosa de 3-aminopropiltrietoxisilano(APES), y una mezcla al 50 % de APES y de 3-aminopropilmetildietoxisilano (APDES). Los marcadores fluorescentes, cloruro de pireno-1-sulfonilo (PSC) y cloruro de 1-dimetilamino-5-naftalenosulfonilo (DNS), se anclaron a las fibras de vidrio silanizadas a través de la formación de un compuesto sulfonamida estable y fluorescente (PSA y DNSA respectivamente).Se realizaron sus espectros de emisión en función de la temperatura en el intervalo (133, 413)K. Los resultados mostraron transiciones térmicas a bajas temperaturas para las muestras estudiadas indicando la alta flexibilidad de la región de acoplamiento. Además, dicha temperatura de transición depende de forma clara de la estructura del polímero que recubre a las fibras.It was estimated the relaxation temperatures of polymeric coatings on glass fibers. In order to do this, it was carried out the fluorescent response study, as a function of temperature, of two dyes chemically bonded to the polymeric coating. The glass fibers were treated with aqueous solutions of 3-aminopropyltriethoxisilane (APES) and a 50 % mixture of APES and 3-aminopropylmethyldiethoxisilane (APDES). The fluorescent labels, pyrene-1-sulfonyl chloride (PSC) and 1-dimethylamino-5- naphtalenesulfonyl chloride (DNS), were attached to the silanized glass fibers by the formation of a stable and highly fluorescent sulfonamide conjugate (PSA and DNSA respectively). Emission spectra were recorded as a function of temperature in the range (133, 413)K. The results shown thermal transitions at low temperatures, which reflect the high flexibility of the coupling region. In addition, that transition temperature clearly depends on the structure of the polymeric coating of the glass fibers
