    o setor atacadista/distribuidor é um elo entre a indústria e o cliente (varejista). Atualmente o setor tem apresentado um considerável crescimento devido ao aumento de pequenos varejos espalhados por todo o brasil, tornando trabalhoso para as indústrias atende-los diretamente. Introduzido pelos imigrantes europeus, mais especificamente os portugueses na década de 50, o setor atacadista /distribuidor fortaleu-se na década de 90, passando por três fases distintas em relação às vendas. A primeira corresponde ao período de 1991 a 1996, época em que a atividade cresceu acentuadamente, cerca de 41%, reagindo positivamente a transição e fortalecimento da moeda nacional; a segunda foi de 1996 a 2001, marcada pela estabilidade, já a terceira, de 2002 a 2004, evidencia-se pela volta de crescimento de 31,4%. " Este trabalho refere-se a uma análise de eficiência produtiva do setor atacadista /distribuidor, escolhendo-se uma amostra formada pelas 50 maiores empresas do setor, em faturamento. Os estudos mostraram que o nível de ineficiência é baixo, em média 65,8%, o que indica que há muito a ser feito para melhorar o esempenho das empresas avaliadas. Altos níveis de ineficiência significam desperdícios de recursos, que são repassados aos preços dos produtos, encarecendo-os

    omputational aerodynamics analyses of a NACA air intake assembled in a canard type aircraft is performed in this work. Semi-empirical calculation through the ESDU (Engineering Science Database Unit) preceded the CFD simulations to define the geometric size of the air intake as well to check its efficiency and drag estimation. The NACA air inlet was considered one of the best options available for implementing in a canard type aircraft since it reduces aerodynamic drag by avoiding protuberances in the fuselage. Numerical studies were performed with the air intake mounted in the aircraft's fuselage at operational flight conditions. These simulations were performed using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and turbulence modeling by using the k-ω SST (Shear-Stress Transport). Data analyses were based on the air inlet efficiency, drag estimation and mainly flow characterization. The numerical results helped to characterize the flow in a canard type aircraft showing that the NACA air intake yielded satisfactory performance with low drag. The approach applied in this work was a partnership with the Brazilian Aircraft Factory (FABE) and Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU) to improve the design of a canard type aircraft. The CFD results have been corroborated by an empirical approach and with some experimental tests performed by the company, pointing towards the reliability of a very efficient design tool for application in industry

    Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar os dados relativos ao mercado e à comercialização da carne ovina no Brasil. Especificamente destacam-se os principais estados produtores, a questão da importação, os preços praticados, a estrutura agrária brasileira como um fator significativo para análise deste setor produtivo e o mercado internacional da ovinocultura. Para tanto são utilizados dados do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, da Organização das Nações Unidas para Agricultura e Alimentação e outras fontes secundárias especializadas no setor. Os países com o maior rebanho ovino no mundo são China, Índia e Austrália, respectivamente, e a produção de carne ovina está concentrada majoritariamente no continente asiático (52%). Os dados demonstram que o Brasil possui o rebanho ovino concentrado em alguns estados da região Nordeste e no Rio Grande do Sul, os preços aos produtores têm se mantido estáveis no último ano com uma leve tendência de alta, que há uma tendência para o desenvolvimento da indústria de abate e de processamento e, como consequência, uma aproximação ao mercado consumidor. No entanto, conclui-se que persistem entraves organizacionais que impedem o desenvolvimento do setor e que precisam ser superados com urgência. Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present data on the market and the commercialization of sheep meat in Brazil. Specifically we highlight the major producing states, the issue of importation, the prices, the Brazilian agrarian structure as a significant factor for the analysis of this sector and the international market. To achieve this goal, the data were provided by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and by the United Nations Food and Agriculture and other specialized secondary sources. Countries with the largest sheep flock in the world are China, India and Australia, respectively, and the meat production is mainly concentrated in Asia (52%). The data show that Brazilian sheep flock are concentrated in a few states in the Northeast and Rio Grande do Sul, the producer prices have remained stable over the last year with a slight upward trend, there is a tendency for the development of slaughter and processing industry and, as a consequence, an approximation to the consumer market. However, it is concluded that organizational obstacles remain and hinder the development of the sector and they must be overcome urgently

    Accuracy of a teleported trapped field state inside a single bimodal cavity

    We propose a simplified scheme to teleport a superposition of coherent states from one mode to another of the same bimodal lossy cavity. Based on current experimental capabilities, we present a calculation of the fidelity that can be achieved, demonstrating accurate teleportation if the mean photon number of each mode is at most 1.5. Our scheme applies as well for teleportation of coherent states from one mode of a cavity to another mode of a second cavity, both cavities embedded in a common reservoir.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, in appreciation for publication in Physical Review

    Orbital magnetism in axially deformed sodium clusters: From scissors mode to dia-para magnetic anisotropy

    Get PDF
    Low-energy orbital magnetic dipole excitations, known as scissors mode (SM), are studied in alkali metal clusters. Subsequent dynamic and static effects are explored. The treatment is based on a self-consistent microscopic approach using the jellium approximation for the ionic background and the Kohn-Sham mean field for the electrons. The microscopic origin of SM and its main features (structure of the mode in light and medium clusters, separation into low- and high-energy plasmons, coupling high-energy M1 scissors and E2 quadrupole plasmons, contributions of shape isomers, etc) are discussed. The scissors M1 strength acquires large values with increasing cluster size. The mode is responsible for the van Vleck paramagnetism of spin-saturated clusters. Quantum shell effects induce a fragile interplay between Langevin diamagnetism and van Vleck paramagnetism and lead to a remarkable dia-para anisotropy in magnetic susceptibility of particular light clusters. Finally, several routes for observing the SM experimentally are discussed.Comment: 21 pages, 7 figure
