Exclusion Principle Repulsion Effects on the Covalent Bond Beyond the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation

The changes in the covalent bond of the hydrogen molecule limited in the space by a spherical hard boundary are studied. The sphere is moved along an axis parallel or orthogonal to the molecular axis. The diffusion Monte Carlo approach is used to solve the Schrödinger equation with the relevant boundary conditions and to evaluate the changes in the bond energy versus the location of the sphere. The vertical and lateral quantum forces exerted on the sphere are evaluated by calculating the energy derivative versus the distances to the sphere. The results show that the quantum forces present an important dependence with the distance and vanish rapidly as the separation between the sphere and the molecule increases. In the limiting case the molecular bond becomes broken due to the electronic depletion induced in the covalent bond. An application of this study is the modelisation of the forces exerted on the passivated cantilever of an Atomic Force Microscope probing the electron cloud in the contact mode in the Pauli exclusión regime

Características percebidas e objetivas do bairro associadas ao deslocamento ativo de adolescentes de Curitiba-PR

Orientador : Prof. Dr. Rodrigo Siqueira ReisDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Biológicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Física. Defesa: Curitiba, 29/02/2016Inclui referências : f. 69-75Área de concentração: Exercício e esporteResumo: O ambiente pode favorecer ou desfavorecer hábitos de uma pessoa, como a prática de atividade física e o deslocamento ativo. Pesquisas que investigaram essas relações foram realizadas em países com contexto cultural e econômico diferentes do Brasil. Os adolescentes têm autonomia sobre diversas escolhas em suas atividades diárias, então a opinião de seus pais e responsáveis pode estar associada ou não à escolha de praticar atividade física ou realizar caminhadas. Por isso, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a associação entre essas características do bairro, objetivas e percebidas pelos pais com o deslocamento ativo dos adolescentes pela vizinhança. Os dados sobre a percepção do ambiente e deslocamento ativo são oriundos do estudo ESPAÇOS Adolescentes e os dados objetivos são originários do estudo MAPS. O presente estudo, descritivo com delineamento transversal, avaliou de forma objetiva 137 rotas na cidade de Curitiba, que partem da casa do adolescente até o comércio mais próximo, até 400 metros de distância, e buscou informações sobre a percepção do ambiente do bairro, de 137 adolescentes e seus pais ou responsáveis. A maioria dos adolescentes não atingiu as recomendações diárias de atividade física com o deslocamento ativo (71,7%) e apresentaram sobrepeso (63,2%). A concordância de Kappa entre as questões objetivas e percebidas foram consideradas fracas. As características objetivas dos bairros por quadrantes [ (alta renda/alto walkability), (alta renda/baixo walkability), (baixa renda/alto walkability), (baixa renda/baixo walkability) ] confirmaram que existe diferença em quantidade de estruturas e comércio entre locais de diferentes rendas e walkability. Os resultados apresentaram associação entre "presença de estrutura de que separa a calçada da rua" (p=0,024), "percepção de iluminação nas ruas" (p=0,007) "percepção de muitas casas poderem ver ciclistas e pedestres" (p=0,007) e deslocamento ativo. A análise de regressão mostrou que adolescentes que tem pais que percebem que a maioria das casas do seu bairro podem ver ciclistas e pedestres facilmente, tem 3 vezes mais chance (OR=3,34; IC95%%: 1,34-8,32) de atingir as recomendações de atividade física com o deslocamento ativo. Conclui-se que algumas características dos bairros, tanto percebidas quanto as avaliadas de forma objetiva, estão associadas a maiores níveis de deslocamento ativo. Palavras chaves: Adolescente, Deslocamento ativo, Ambiente construído.Abstract: The environment can favor or disadvantage a person's habits, such as physical activity and active commuting. Research that investigated these relationships was carried out in countries with cultural and economic context different from Brazil. Adolescents have autonomy over many choices in their daily activities, so the opinion of their parents and guardians may be associated or not with the choice of practicing physical activity or walking. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the association between these characteristics of the neighborhood, objective and perceived by the parents with the active commuting of the adolescents by the neighborhood. The data on the perception of the environment and active commuting come from the ESPAÇOS Adolescente study and the objective data originate from the MAPS study. The present descriptive study with a cross-sectional design evaluated 137 routes in the city of Curitiba, which depart from the adolescent's house to the nearest commerce, up to 400 meters away, and sought information about the perception of the neighborhood's environment. 137 adolescents and their parents or guardians. Most of the adolescents did not reach the daily recommendations of physical activity with active commuting (71.7%) and were overweight (63.2%). Kappa's agreement between objective and perceived issues was considered weak. The objective characteristics of the quarters (high income / high walkability), (low income / low walkability), (low income / low walkability), have confirmed that there is a difference in the amount of structures and commerce between sites of different lace and walkability. The results showed an association between the presence of a structure that separates sidewalks from the street (p = 0.024), "perception of street lighting" (p = 0.007) "perception of many houses being able to see cyclists and pedestrians" (p = 0.007) and active commuting. The regression analysis showed that adolescents who have parents who realize that most homes in their neighborhood can see cyclists and pedestrians easily, are 3 times more likely (OR = 3.34; 95% CI: 1.34-8.32 ) of achieving the recommendations of physical activity with the active active commuting. We conclude that some characteristics of the neighborhoods, both perceived and those evaluated objectively, are associated with higher levels of active commuting.

Nanoplasmonic NO2Sensor with a Sub-10 Parts per Billion Limit of Detection in Urban Air

Urban air pollution is a critical health problem in cities all around the world. Therefore, spatially highly resolved real-time monitoring of airborne pollutants, in general, and of nitrogen dioxide, NO2, in particular, is of utmost importance. However, highly accurate but fixed and bulky measurement stations or satellites are used for this purpose to date. This defines a need for miniaturized NO2 sensor solutions with detection limits in the low parts per billion range to finally enable indicative air quality monitoring at low cost that facilitates detection of highly local emission peaks and enables the implementation of direct local actions like traffic control, to immediately reduce local emissions. To address this challenge, we present a nanoplasmonic NO2 sensor based on arrays of Au nanoparticles coated with a thin layer of polycrystalline WO3, which displays a spectral redshift in the localized surface plasmon resonance in response to NO2. Sensor performance is characterized under (i) idealized laboratory conditions, (ii) conditions simulating humid urban air, and (iii) an outdoor field test in a miniaturized device benchmarked against a commercial NO2 sensor approved according to European and American standards. The limit of detection of the plasmonic solution is below 10 ppb in all conditions. The observed plasmonic response is attributed to a combination of charge transfer between the WO3 layer and the plasmonic Au nanoparticles, WO3 layer volume expansion, and changes in WO3 permittivity. The obtained results highlight the viability of nanoplasmonic gas sensors, in general, and their potential for practical application in indicative urban air monitoring, in particular
