Microhabitat de Habia rubica (Vieillot) e Trichothraupis melanops (Vieillot) (Aves, Emberizidae, Thraupinae), em uma floresta atlântica do sul do Brasil Microhabitat of Habia rubica (Vieillot) and Trichothraupis melanops (Vieillot) (Aves, Emberizidae, Thraupinae) in an Atlantic Forest, Southern Brazil

Este estudo identifica quais variáveis caracterizam os microhabitats de Habia rubica (Vieillot, 1817) e Trichothraups melanops (Vieillot, 1818) e verifica o padrão de abundância dessas espécies em relação aos parâmetros de microhabitat. Análise de componentes principais mostrou as variáveis de microhabitat mais importantes para cada espécie. O microhabitat de H. rubica foi caracterizado pelo estrato médio aberto e sub-bosque denso e rico em samambaias, arvoretas, herbáceas e cipós; esta espécie apresentou maior abundância nos locais ricos em tais variáveis. Para T. melanops, as variáveis mais importantes foram samambaias, arbustos, arvoretas, herbáceas, cipós, árvores de grande porte e quantidade de árvores com briófitas; a abundância desta espécie não foi relacionada com a densidade dessas variáveis talvez devido aos seus hábitos generalistas.<br>This study identifies which variables characterize the microhabitats of Habia rubica (Vieillot, 1817) and Trichothraupis melanops (Vieillot, 1818) and verifies the pattern of abundance of these species in relation to the parameters of microhabitat. Principal components analysis showed the variables of microhabitat more important for each species. The microhabitat of H. rubica was characterized for the middle stratum open and understory unclear, rich in ferns, young trees, herbs and lianes; this species presented higher abundance in places rich in such variables. For T. melanops, the variables more important were understory unclear with ferns, shrubs, young trees, lianes and herbs, large trees and number of trees with bryophytes; the abundance of this species was unrelated with the density of these variables perhaps due to their generalist habits

Study of the reaction stages and kinetics of the europium oxide carbochlorination

The europium oxide (Eu2O3(s)) chlorination reaction with sucrose carbon was studied by thermogravimetry between room temperature and 1223 K (950 °C). The nonisothermal thermogravimetry showed that the reaction consists of three stages, and their stoichiometries were studied. The product of the first stage was europium oxychloride, and it showed independence of the reaction kinetics with the carbon content. Subsequently, in the second stage, the EuOCl(s) was carbochlorinated with formation of EuCl3(l) and its evaporation is observed in the third stage. The analysis by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of gaseous species showed that the reaction at second stage occurs with the formation of CO2(g) and CO(g). Both reactants and products were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The influence of carbon content, total flow rate, sample initial mass, chlorine partial pressure, and temperature were evaluated. The second stage kinetics was analyzed, which showed an anomalous behavior caused by generation of chlorine radicals during interaction of Cl2(g) and carbon. It was found that the reaction rate at 933 K (660 °C) was proportional to a potential function of the chlorine partial pressure whose exponent is 0.56. The conversion curves were analyzed with the Avrami-Erofeev model and it was obtained an activation energy of 154 ± 5 kJ mol–1.Fil: Pomiro, Federico José. Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica.
