Teor de açúcar da água residuária do processamento do café.
A fermentação dos açúcares contidos na mucilagem da água residuária do café (ARC) possibilita obter álcool. Para se obter bom rendimento de álcool é necessário ajustar o teor de açúcar da ARC para 16° Brix. O trabalho teve como objetivo quantificar os teores de açúcar da ARC, após sucessivas reciclagens no processo de desmucilamento. Colocou-se água de torneira em amostras de café cereja descascado, das variedades Bourbon Vermelho e Bourbon Amarelo, e a mucilagem foi extraída, girando-se um bastão de vidro, por 3 minutos. Foram feitas até seis extrações, em seqüência, reciclando-se a ARC obtida. Os teores de açúcar da ARC aumentaram linearmente com o aumento do número de extrações realizadas. O teor de açúcar da ARC elevou-se de 3,1 para 9,3° Brix, após cinco extrações, e de 2,6 para 10,3° Brix, após seis extrações da mucilagem do cereja descascado, das variedades Bourbon Vermelho e Bourbon Amarelo, respectivamente
Group theory for structural analysis and lattice vibrations in phosphorene systems
Group theory analysis for two-dimensional elemental systems related to
phosphorene is presented, including (i) graphene, silicene, germanene and
stanene, (ii) dependence on the number of layers and (iii) two stacking
arrangements. Departing from the most symmetric graphene space
group, the structures are found to have a group-subgroup relation, and analysis
of the irreducible representations of their lattice vibrations makes it
possible to distinguish between the different allotropes. The analysis can be
used to study the effect of strain, to understand structural phase transitions,
to characterize the number of layers, crystallographic orientation and
nonlinear phenomena.Comment: 24 pages, 3 figure
The Mass-to-Light Ratio of Binary Galaxies
We report on the mass-to-light ratio determination based on a newly selected
binary galaxy sample, which includes a large number of pairs whose separations
exceed a few hundred kpc. The probability distributions of the projected
separation and the velocity difference have been calculated considering the
contamination of optical pairs, and the mass-to-light ratio has been determined
based on the maximum likelihood method. The best estimate of in the B
band for 57 pairs is found to be 28 36 depending on the orbital
parameters and the distribution of optical pairs (solar unit, km
s Mpc). The best estimate of for 30 pure spiral pairs is
found to be 12 16. These results are relatively smaller than those
obtained in previous studies, but consistent with each other within the errors.
Although the number of pairs with large separation is significantly increased
compared to previous samples, does not show any tendency of increase, but
found to be almost independent of the separation of pairs beyond 100 kpc. The
constancy of beyond 100 kpc may indicate that the typical halo size of
spiral galaxies is less than kpc.Comment: 18 pages + 8 figures, to appear in ApJ Vol. 516 (May 10
On The Determination of MDI High-Degree Mode Frequencies
The characteristic of the solar acoustic spectrum is such that mode lifetimes
get shorter and spatial leaks get closer in frequency as the degree of a mode
increases for a given order. A direct consequence of this property is that
individual p-modes are only resolved at low and intermediate degrees, and that
at high degrees, individual modes blend into ridges. Once modes have blended
into ridges, the power distribution of the ridge defines the ridge central
frequency and it will mask the true underlying mode frequency. An accurate
model of the amplitude of the peaks that contribute to the ridge power
distribution is needed to recover the underlying mode frequency from fitting
the ridge.
We present the results of fitting high degree power ridges (up to l = 900)
computed from several two to three-month-long time-series of full-disk
observations taken with the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) on-board the Solar
and Heliospheric Observatory between 1996 and 1999.
We also present a detailed discussion of the modeling of the ridge power
distribution, and the contribution of the various observational and
instrumental effects on the spatial leakage, in the context of the MDI
instrument. We have constructed a physically motivated model (rather than some
ad hoc correction scheme) resulting in a methodology that can produce an
unbiased determination of high-degree modes, once the instrumental
characteristics are well understood.
Finally, we present changes in high degree mode parameters with epoch and
thus solar activity level and discuss their significance.Comment: 59 pages, 38 figures -- High-resolution version at

As lavouras de Conilon do Sul do Espírito Santo apresentam grande variabilidade genética, ainda não explorada nos trabalhos de melhoramento da Empresa Capixaba de Pesquisa, Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural ? EMCAPER. O presente trabalho objetivou identificar plantas de café Conilon, com alta produção e qualidade de grãos na região Sul, para inclusão nos ensaios de competição com vistas a recomendação de novas variedades para os produtores capixabas. No primeiro ano foram selecionadas 391 plantas com bom potencial produtivo, tamanho do grão e uniformidade de maturação
Some difficulties on the application of the UNIFAC model for the prediction of liquid-liquid equilibrium compositions
UNIFAC group parameters for the interaction between CH2 and CF2 (c) and CH2 and CF3 were obtained using experimental liquid-liquid equilibrium
data for hydrocarbon - perfluorodecaline (PFD) and hydrocarbon - perfluoromethylcyclohexane (PFMCH) systems.
Some difficulties were experienced on the use of the UNIFAC method with those particular systems, namely the group parameters dependence on
the length of the hydrocarbon chain.
Attempts were made to correlate UNIFAC parameters with the number of carbon atoms and temperature and the results compared with those obtained with NRTL equations
Mutual binary solubilities: perfluorodecalin/hydrocarbons
Mutual solublllty data for perfluorodecalln + n-hexane, +
n-heptane, + noctane, + n-nonane, + 1-hexene, and +
1-heptene are reported. The NRTL and UNIOUAC
equatlons were used to correlate the data. UNIFAC group parameters for the lnteractlons CH2/CF,( c) and CH=CHJCF,(c) can also be obtained
Group Theory analysis of phonons in two-dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have emerged as a new two
dimensional materials field since the monolayer and few-layer limits show
different properties when compared to each other and to their respective bulk
materials. For example, in some cases when the bulk material is exfoliated down
to a monolayer, an indirect-to-direct band gap in the visible range is
observed. The number of layers ( even or odd) drives changes in space
group symmetry that are reflected in the optical properties. The understanding
of the space group symmetry as a function of the number of layers is therefore
important for the correct interpretation of the experimental data. Here we
present a thorough group theory study of the symmetry aspects relevant to
optical and spectroscopic analysis, for the most common polytypes of TMDCs,
i.e. , and , as a function of the number of layers. Real space
symmetries, the group of the wave vectors, the relevance of inversion symmetry,
irreducible representations of the vibrational modes, optical selection rules
and Raman tensors are discussed.Comment: 32 pages, 4 figure
