Ambiencias urbanas en el conductismo espacial y la fenomenología de la percepción

In architecture research, urban ambiances are analyzed from spatial categories or from the experience of the body in the world. Both perspectives conform in reality, suggesting an overcoming of the classic dualism and a total understanding of ambiances. So, this article aimed to structure, conceptually, the urban ambiances through an adverse methodological perspectives in an interdisciplinary direction. The interlocution of the authors demonstrated the need for a phenomenological foundation of the spaces, however, approaching these, firstly, through deferences provided by intellectualism, for the elaboration of hypotheses. Thus, it was allowed to construct an understanding of the ambiances as perceived and realized by the subject in the world and by itself, a own spatial unit endowed with values arisen from the mutuality subject-world.Na pesquisa em Arquitetura, as ambiências urbanas são analisadas a partir de categorias espaciais ou da experiência do corpo no mundo.

Economic feasibility of diets containing different nitrogen sources as a function of weight gain in Saanen breed goats / Viabilidade Econômica de dietas contendo diferentes fontes de nitrogênio em função do ganho de peso de caprinos da raça Saanen

The use of a low cost protein input results in improvements in animal zootechnical indices. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cost of diets containing different nitrogen sources as a function of weight gain in Saanen goats. Eighteen 150-day-old Saanen goats were randomly divided into two groups: control group (CG) and urea group (UG). At the beginning of the experiment and every 7 days, before feeding, the animals were weighed on a mechanical platform scale to obtain live weight over a period of 121 days. The prices of the dietary ingredients were obtained from the local market of Seropédica - RJ, from April to June 2019. For statistical analysis, the GraphPad PRISM 5® software was used. The use of soybean meal or urea in the diet did not influence animal performance in relation to daily weight gain. The difference in values may not appear to be attractive, but the amount of urea used in ruminant diets is much smaller when compared to the amount of soybean meal, which reflects in the final diet price, making urea make a source more viable for the producer

Em parceria com os setores público, privado e com a sociedade, mostra-se valiosa na resolução de problemas socioambientais, econômicos e culturais, através da elaboração de propostas oriundas desta agregação de ensino, pesquisa e atividades de extensão. Neste sentido, menciona-se como um dos desafios da universidade atender a população, ainda assistida de maneira insatisfatória pelo ensino superior, na busca de solução para os seus problemas, e ainda, um repensar em relação a esta modalidade de ensino considerando o cenário mundial tão dinâmico

Panorama das Intervenções Coronárias Percutâneas em Oclusões Totais Crônicas em Centros Participantes do LATAM CTO Registry no Brasil

Background: Major advances have been seen in techniques and devices for performing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) for chronic total occlusions (CTOs), but there are limited real-world practice data from developing countries. Objectives: To report clinical and angiographic characteristics, procedural aspects, and clinical outcomes of CTO PCI performed at dedicated centers in Brazil. Methods: Included patients underwent CTO PCI at centers participating in the LATAM CTO Registry, a Latin American multicenter registry dedicated to prospective collection of these data. Inclusion criteria were procedures performed in Brazil, age 18 years or over, and presence of CTO with PCI attempt. CTO was defined as a 100% lesion in an epicardial coronary artery, known or estimated to have lasted at least 3 months. Results: Data on 1196 CTO PCIs were included. Procedures were performed primarily for angina control (85%) and/or treatment of moderate/severe ischemia (24%). Technical success rate was 84%, being achieved with antegrade wire approaches in 81% of procedures, antegrade dissection and re-entry in 9%, and retrograde approaches in 10%. In-hospital adverse cardiovascular events occurred in 2.3% of cases, with a mortality rate of 0.75%. Conclusions: CTOs can be treated effectively in Brazil by using PCI, with low complication rates. The scientific and technological development observed in this area in the past decade is reflected in the clinical practice of dedicated Brazilian centersinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

A list of land plants of Parque Nacional do Caparaó, Brazil, highlights the presence of sampling gaps within this protected area

Brazilian protected areas are essential for plant conservation in the Atlantic Forest domain, one of the 36 global biodiversity hotspots. A major challenge for improving conservation actions is to know the plant richness, protected by these areas. Online databases offer an accessible way to build plant species lists and to provide relevant information about biodiversity. A list of land plants of “Parque Nacional do Caparaó” (PNC) was previously built using online databases and published on the website "Catálogo de Plantas das Unidades de Conservação do Brasil." Here, we provide and discuss additional information about plant species richness, endemism and conservation in the PNC that could not be included in the List. We documented 1,791 species of land plants as occurring in PNC, of which 63 are cited as threatened (CR, EN or VU) by the Brazilian National Red List, seven as data deficient (DD) and five as priorities for conservation. Fifity-one species were possible new ocurrences for ES and MG states

Compressed representation of a partially defined integer function over multiple arguments

In OLAP (OnLine Analitical Processing) data are analysed in an n-dimensional cube. The cube may be represented as a partially defined function over n arguments. Considering that often the function is not defined everywhere, we ask: is there a known way of representing the function or the points in which it is defined, in a more compact manner than the trivial one

Performance of CMS muon reconstruction in pp collision events at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

The performance of muon reconstruction, identification, and triggering in CMS has been studied using 40 inverse picobarns of data collected in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV at the LHC in 2010. A few benchmark sets of selection criteria covering a wide range of physics analysis needs have been examined. For all considered selections, the efficiency to reconstruct and identify a muon with a transverse momentum pT larger than a few GeV is above 95% over the whole region of pseudorapidity covered by the CMS muon system, abs(eta) < 2.4, while the probability to misidentify a hadron as a muon is well below 1%. The efficiency to trigger on single muons with pT above a few GeV is higher than 90% over the full eta range, and typically substantially better. The overall momentum scale is measured to a precision of 0.2% with muons from Z decays. The transverse momentum resolution varies from 1% to 6% depending on pseudorapidity for muons with pT below 100 GeV and, using cosmic rays, it is shown to be better than 10% in the central region up to pT = 1 TeV. Observed distributions of all quantities are well reproduced by the Monte Carlo simulation.Comment: Replaced with published version. Added journal reference and DO

Azimuthal anisotropy of charged particles at high transverse momenta in PbPb collisions at sqrt(s[NN]) = 2.76 TeV

The azimuthal anisotropy of charged particles in PbPb collisions at nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV is measured with the CMS detector at the LHC over an extended transverse momentum (pt) range up to approximately 60 GeV. The data cover both the low-pt region associated with hydrodynamic flow phenomena and the high-pt region where the anisotropies may reflect the path-length dependence of parton energy loss in the created medium. The anisotropy parameter (v2) of the particles is extracted by correlating charged tracks with respect to the event-plane reconstructed by using the energy deposited in forward-angle calorimeters. For the six bins of collision centrality studied, spanning the range of 0-60% most-central events, the observed v2 values are found to first increase with pt, reaching a maximum around pt = 3 GeV, and then to gradually decrease to almost zero, with the decline persisting up to at least pt = 40 GeV over the full centrality range measured.Comment: Replaced with published version.
