Caracterização da estrutura fina do amido de pinhão como um incentivo à perpetuação da Araucária (Araucaria angustifolia (Bertoloni) Otto kuntze).

Resumo

Processamento de farinhas de pinhão crua e pré-cozida.

No Brasil, o termo pinhão geralmente designa as sementes da araucária (Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.) O. Ktze), árvore de destacada importância cultural, econômica e ambiental na região Sul e em algumas partes do Sudeste do Brasil. O pinhão se desenvolve dentro de uma pinha fechada que, ao amadurecer, se rompe, espalhando as sementes de coloração acastanhada, amarelada ou avermelhada (Godoy et al., 2018), por vários metros ao seu redor. O pinhão é constituído pelas seguintes partes: a casca (parte externa, mais grossa), denominada de tegumento; uma película fina entre a casca e a parte branca chamada de envoltório; a parte branca (predominantemente constituída de amido) denominada endosperma e a parte central (embrião).bitstream/item/214950/1/CT-451-1800-final-9.pd

Forecasting Cryptocurrency Value by Sentiment Analysis: An HPC-Oriented Survey of the State-of-the-Art in the Cloud Era

This chapter surveys the state-of-the-art in forecasting cryptocurrency value by Sentiment Analysis. Key compounding perspectives of current challenges are addressed, including blockchains, data collection, annotation, and filtering, and sentiment analysis metrics using data streams and cloud platforms. We have explored the domain based on this problem-solving metric perspective, i.e., as technical analysis, forecasting, and estimation using a standardized ledger-based technology. The envisioned tools based on forecasting are then suggested, i.e., ranking Initial Coin Offering (ICO) values for incoming cryptocurrencies, trading strategies employing the new Sentiment Analysis metrics, and risk aversion in cryptocurrencies trading through a multi-objective portfolio selection. Our perspective is rationalized on the perspective on elastic demand of computational resources for cloud infrastructures

The Battle of the Water Networks II (BWN-II)

The Battle of the Water Networks II (BWN-II) is the latest of a series of competitions related to the design and operation of water distribution systems (WDSs) undertaken within the Water Distribution Systems Analysis (WDSA) Symposium series. The BWN-II problem specification involved a broadly defined design and operation problem for an existing network that has to be upgraded for increased future demands, and the addition of a new development area. The design decisions involved addition of new and parallel pipes, storage, operational controls for pumps and valves, and sizing of backup power supply. Design criteria involved hydraulic, water quality, reliability, and environmental performance measures. Fourteen teams participated in the Battle and presented their results at the 14th Water Distribution Systems Analysis (WDSA 2012) conference in Adelaide, Australia, September 2012. This paper summarizes the approaches used by the participants and the results they obtained. Given the complexity of the BWN-II problem and the innovative methods required to deal with the multi-objective, high dimensional and computationally demanding nature of the problem, this paper represents a snap-shot of state of the art methods for the design and operation of water distribution systems. A general finding of this paper is that there is benefit in using a combination of heuristic engineering experience and sophisticated optimization algorithms when tackling complex real-world water distribution system design problems.Angela Marchi...Angus R.
