Desempenho de cultivares de alface do grupo crespa em Jataí-GO.

A alface é considerada a hortaliça folhosa mais consumida no Brasil, sendo que a escolha e determinação das cultivares a serem plantadas nas diferentes regiões, influência diretamente na produtividade da mesma. Objetivou-se com esse trabalho avaliar o comportamento de cinco cultivares de alface (Brida, Amanda, Cristal, Invicta e Verônica) do grupo solta crespa nas condições de Jataí-GO. O experimento foi instalado em delineamento de blocos casualizados com 4 repetições. As características avaliadas foram: altura e diâmetro de planta, número total de folhas, diâmetro e comprimento do caule, massa fresca total, comercial e do caule e percentual de massa seca. Verificou-se que apenas as características altura de plantas, comprimento do caule, diâmetro do caule, massa fresca do caule e massa fresca comercial apresentaram diferenças estatísticas em relação às cultivares avaliadas. As cultivares que apresentaram os maiores valores de massa fresca comercial foram Brida, Cristal e Verônic

Quantitative seismic risk evaluation and mapping: cases of schools and residential facilities in Lisbon and Algarve

This contribution deals with activities within the framework of an EC-project, entitled "UPStrat-MAFA (Urban prevention strategies using macroseismic and fault sources)", emphasising the inventory, vulnerability and seismic risk of buildings. The cases considered deal with elementary and non-elementary public schools as well as the residential building stock in Lisbon and Algarve in mainland Portugal. A new concept of global disruption measures is introduced and discussed, with the objective of providing a systematic way to quantify earthquake impact in urban areas. This approach provides civil protection, the authorities and local decision makers with a new tool judged to be valuable in prioritizing mitigation measures and responses.Co-financed by the EU - Civil Protection Financial Instrument, in the framework the European project ”Urban disaster Prevention Strategies using MAcroseismic Fields and FAult Sources (Acronym: UPStrat-MAFA, Grant Agreement N. 23031/2011/613486/SUB/A5). http://ec.europa.eu/echo/funding/cp_projects2011_en.htmPublishedLisbon - Portugal4.1.

The KnowRISK project: Tools and strategies to reduce non-structural damage

The project KnowRISK (Know your city, Reduce seISmic risK through non-structural elements) is financed by the European Commission to develop prevention measures that may reduce non-structural damage in urban areas. Pilot areas of the project are within the three European participating countries, namely Portugal, Iceland and Italy. Non-structural components of a building include all those components that are not part of the structural system, more specifically the architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, as well as furniture, fixtures, equipment, and contents. Windows, partitions, granite veneer, piping, ceilings, air conditioning ducts and equipment, elevators, computer and hospital equipment, file cabinets, and retail merchandise are all examples of nonstructural components that are vulnerable to earthquake damage. We will use the experience gained during past earthquakes, which struck in particular Iceland, Italy and Portugal (Azores). Securing the non-structural elements improves the safety during an earthquake and saves lives. This paper aims at identifying non-structural seismic protection measures in the pilot areas and to develop a portfolio of good practices for the most common and serious non-structural vulnerabilities. This systematic identification and the portfolio will be achieved through a “crossknowledge” strategy based on previous researches, evidence of non-structural damage in past earthquakes. Shake table tests of a group of non-structural elements will be performed. These tests will be filmed and, jointly with portfolio, will serve as didactic supporting tools to be used in workshops with building construction stakeholders and in risk communication activities. A Practical Guide for non-structural risk reduction will be specifically prepared for citizens on the basis of the outputs of the project, taking into account the local culture and needs of each participating countryPublishedVienna3T.
