O ambiente deposicional da Formação Carajás e uma proposta de modelo evolutivo para a Bacia Grão Pará
(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 2003-08-20) MACAMBIRA, Joel Buenano; SCHRANK, Alfonso; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5381945062567191
The large Carajás iron ores belongs to the Carajás fonnation, which is a 1 00-400m thick banded and laminated iron formation Gaspilite ), located at Pará state in North Brazil. This almost continuous formation outcrops for at least 260km, in 60 ore deposits, distributed in three main ridges, São Felix, Leste and Carajás. The last one is a sinformal structure sub-divided in South and North ridges. This work was carried out on detailed mapping, stratigraphic raising and petrographic, geochemical, isotopic and geochronological sampling of the North ridge, where the mining activity is currently running and bench and drill-core are available. Leveis ( 4 J.Ul1 to 3 cm) composed by chert or jasper alternated with magnetite-maghemite-hematite was deposed between 2,754 and 2,744 Ma (22m/Ma) at depths of 100-200m, locally affected by bottom currents. This hydroplastic chemical sediments precipitated by supersaturation (Si) and oxidation (Fe) from upwelling waters where the base was richer in hydrothermal source waters (LREE=6,66; Eu*=3,54; (La/Yb),=l,52) than the top (I:REE= 3,89; Eu*=3,18; (La/Yb),==,66). Besides, the major elements content have more variability at base than top. The Carajás jaspilite have twice Ga (2lppm), Bi (6ppm), Pb (18ppm) and seven times Sb (7ppm) than the world average for similar rocks. The Fe oxidation may have be promoted by organic activity, attested by delicate double wall spherulites and kerogen preservation in siltstones of a light younger unit. Local hydrothermal carbonatization has affected the jaspilite producing 813C mean of -4.3%opoa and two groups of 8180 (+24,9 to +15,4 and +12,8 to +6,6%osMow ). Otherwise, metamorphic imprints on this rocks are minimal. Regional work, bibliographic compilation and correlations of the Carajás formation with overlying units ofBahia and Azul mines leaves to propose a evolutionary model for the Grão Pará Basin, initiated as a intracontinental rifting stage, marked by crusta! contaminated tholeiitic basalt volcanism (2.76 Ga- U-Pb zircon ages). The second stage was the deposition ofthe Carajás formation over a wide, quiet marine continental she1f, in:fluenced by upwelling of Fe-Si rich waters. In a third stage, the last was recovered by volcanics associated with clastic sedimentation (2.74 Ga- Pb-Pb zircon ages). The fourth stage comprises the installation of another continental shelf environment, where clastics and carbonate rocks has deposed (2.68 Ga - U-Pb zircon ages). Basin inversion and fluvial deposition closes the evolution.

Análise da interferência de dois procedimentos na aprendizagem operatória
(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 1995-11-04) SILVA, Francisco Hermes Santos da; SISTO, Fermino Fernandes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8719624962833123
The objective of this study was to analyze two processes of intervention with a view toward operatory learning. In the first, the technique of cognitive conflict was applied and in the second, cognitive conflict associated with the formation of possibles. Our hypothesis was that the second process would present better results than the first, having seen that Piaget affirmed that the formation of possibles preceeds concrete operations. We worked with 20 children between the ages of 6 and 7 applying 10 sessions in two groups of 10 children. Comparative analyses of the data collected in the two interventions were made by taking into consideration five aspects: 1. a study of the interventions in terms of the acquisition of conservation of mass; 2. a study of the differences between IGC (Intervention Groups with Cognitive Conflict) and IGCP (Mixed Intervention Groups of Cognitive Conflict and Formation of Possibles) in terms of the indices and stability of operatory conduct; 3. a study of the differences between IGC and IGCP in terms of the types of operative arguments presented by the subjects; 4. analysis of the period of transition between non-operativeness and operativeness; and 5. studies of the differences between IGC and IGCP in terms of the operative arguments in function of the number of sessions with intermediary conducts. Our hypothesis was not confirmed from a quantitative point of view. However, while the intervention with conflict associated with the formation of possibles was not quantitatively demonstrated better than cognitive conflict, the technique was demonstrated valid as a pedagogical instrument in the acquisition of operativeness, since it presented satisfactory results with differences in relation to other groups being in terms of velocity of this acquisition and lesser production of operative arguments.

Análise da resistência a corrosão do aço carbono revestido com Al55-Zn após deformação mecânica e tratamento térmico
(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 2001-01-12) BESERRA, Antonio Adelmo Freire; FREIRE, Célia Marina de Alvarenga; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6392994144210466
Analysis of the corrosion resistance of the 55AI-Zn coating on carbon steel after mechanical deformation and heat treatment The atmospheric corrosion resistance of 55%Al-Zn alloy coating on average is twelve times that of an equal thickness of galvanized coating. However, it has been shown that microcracks were observed at all levels of strain under simple uniaxial tension. Our research has been focused on determining the degree of corrosion experienced by these coatings after deformation under simple tension or bending and how much the heat treatment at '200 DEGREES' or '360 DEGREES' for 16h can influence the corrosion resistance of the coating. The coated sheet samples were strained to 10% or 15% engineering strain while another group of samples was bent to bend angles of '90 DEGREES' or '180 DEGREES'. The corrosion resistance of the samples was evaluated trhough Tafel extrapolation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods. As a result, it was observed that both the straining and the bending of the coating reduces its corrosion resistance. After the heat treatment at '360 DEGREES' the samples strained to 10% or 15% recover their corrosion resistance, but the specimens bended to '90 DEGREES' or '180 DEGREES' recuperate only partially the corrosion resistance after the heat treatments.

An experimental set up for the study of tablets coating in a two-dimensional spouted bed that uses vibration of the perforated base to enhance the circulation of the particles was developed. An acrylic rectangular upper section (4x32 cm) with fixed 4x4 cm draft plates was adjusted over 3 different convergent sections (inclination 50') with 4x4 cm, 4x6 cm or 4x8 cm bases and contained 800g, 1100g or 1300g of tablets, Air (0,8 to 1,6 m3/min) forced by a 7,5 cv blower, was cooled down to 55°C and spouted this bed. The lenticular tablets (0,12g; 0,25g., 0,44g) were coated with a polymeric aqueous solution (11% solids). A two-fluid atomizer (air pressure 82,7 1kPa) was used, inserted laterally, near the bed base, and showed no influence on the movement of the particles. The experimental characterization of the tablets circulation rates was emphasized, using a magnet (0,4062 g) that followed the particles, activating a bobbin located at the upper end of the draft plates. The electric pulses were processed by a data acquisition sistem and the cicle time distribution curves were adjusted by the Modified Spline fit technique. The mean of the cicle time distribution creased with are increase of the bed load and the size of the tablets in all comparative tests. The vibration (10 Hz, 8 mm amplitude) reduced the mean of the cicle time distribution by more than 10%, and also decreased its variance. The vibration also affected the maximum pressure drop (40% reduction) and the minimum spouting velocity. The vibro spouted bed showed higher- adhesion efficency (73 to 88%) than the non-vibrated spouted bed (66 to 79%) in all equivalent situations and the complete coating of the smaller tablets demanded less processing time due to higher surface area circulation rate.

Análise do escoamento da soja brasileira através da simulação a eventos discretos
(Universidade Federal de Itajubá, 2017-10-16) LOPES, Harlenn dos Santos; LEAL, Fabiano; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4677862183830898; LIMA, Renato da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9161092505168234
Brazil, since 2013, is the largest exporter of soybean in the world. In 2016, Brazil exported 51.58 million tons of soybeans. This value corresponds to approximately 40% of the quantity exported worldwide. Even with lower production costs, the competitiveness of Brazilian soybean declines when the product get on the Brazilian logistics network, facing challenges to drain the production. This paper aims to present the construction and application of a simulation project to support strategic decisions of the Brazilian soybean logistics through the simulation of discrete events. The paper's contribution is due to the use of simulation of discrete events applied to a logistic system, with a greater level of comprehension studied and the high number of interrelated variables. For the study, Brazil was divided according to its soybean production, which results in 19 producing areas coming from a minimum level of microregions. These regions are the origins of the system. For each source, 20 routes from North to South of the country were designed, destined to the current soybean export ports, by the main transport axes, either constructed or projected. The decision-making process is based on the costs of the routes and the availability of the ports. The final destinations are the ports of Shanghai and Hamburg. The model was validated, and adequately represents the studied system. A number of 39 scenarios were simulated for the system, divided in 13 scenarios per year, considering projections for 2015, 2017 and 2026. Operational analyzes of logistics configuration and comparative analyzes based on actual costs are performed. At the end of the simulations, scenarios 1, 2, 6 and 7 are the alternatives that best reduce the logistic costs of the studied system and that the railroads that lead to the ports of São Francisco do Sul and Ilo (F2 and F4 respectively) are not attractive in the analyzed context.. Scenarios 2, 6 and 7 direct the decision to invest in the Araguaia-Tocantins Hidrovia (HAT) and in railroads linking the cities of Maringá and Cruz Alta to the Ports of Paranaguá and Rio Grande, F1 and F3, respectively.

Análise do processo de difusão atômica no estado sólido em sistemas unidirecionais e radiais
(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 1991-03-14) MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; SANTOS, Rezende Gomes dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8824197696621614
In this work an analytical method is proposed to study diffusion pro¬cess in the solid state in binary systems consisting of only one phase with unidirectional, cylindrical and spherical atomic fluxo Initially a literature survey is carried out regarding some of the most important methods applied to diffusion process in these systems. The method is developed from the differential equation which treats this process in systems with unidirectional atomic flux, that is modified by geometric correlation and convenient changes of variables. The modified differential equation is solved by using a well known exact solution based on the error function and equations are obtained to analyse both the position of the diffusion interface as a function of time and the concentration profiles as a function of the position and time. The predictions furnished by the analytical method are compared with numerical results. A comparative study of diffusion process in planar, cylindrical and spherical geometries is ais o presented. Finally possible applications of the proposed method to the solution of practical problems are discussed.

The drying of annatto seeds (Bixa orellana L.), type Red Piave, was studied in a fixed bed dryer. The optimal conditions were obtained to minimize the bixin losses and to obtain the final moisture content of seeds in the adequate lovels for conservation and quality maintenance. The bixix and the final moisture contents were studied as a function of the operational variables of the drying process. The termodynamic behavior of the seeds during the process of moisture desorption was verified by the static gravimetric method, using saturated salt solutions to maintain atmospheres with relative humidities in the range from 7 to 75%, at temperatures between 15 and 80ºC. GAB medel was used to fit the experimental data and the three parameters of GAB equation were evaluated. The Clausisus-Clapeyron equations was applied to obtain the net isosteric heats of sorption, using the desorption isotherm¿s data. It was verified that the annatto seeds can be conserved with higher stability in atmospheres with relative humidity of 60% in the range of temperatures studied. The quantification of the influences of the inlet variables of the process in the final moisture and bixin contents of the seeds and the identification of the optimal point for the process was accomplished by techniques of fractional factorial design, response surface methodology, canonical analysis and desirability function. Its was verified that the final moisture content of the seeds can be estimated by a second order polynomial model as a function of the is temperature and mass flow rate and of the dryng time, and that final bixin content is significantly influenced only by the process time, being described appropriately by linear model.

A arte de narrar: da constituição das estórias e dos saberes dos narradores da Amazônia paraense
(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 2000-12-13) BENTES, Anna Christina; ALKMIM, Tânia Maria; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8437404856512094; KOCH, Ingedore Grunfeld Villaça; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9851642920435372
Taking into account that the act of narrating presents a necessary meta-discoursive reflexion about what is being narrated and that narrative presents a patteming or a "schematism" responsible for maintaining the narrative paradigm order, this study describes how narrators from Brazilian Amazon region configurate narrative tradition in two different ways. The first way called "folk-tale" is characterized considering the fact that narrators, when telling their stories, choose (i) to present frxed plots, which are commonshared, (ii) to construct a high degree of distance from what is being narrated, (iii) to necessarily present narrative structured in tenns of "conflict/resolutionn and {iv) to inscribe narrative sequences in a wondering discoursive domain. Narrators choose to configurate oral tradition in a way called "oral story" when they (i) do not present a frxed plot, reconstructing oral traditional narrativas in a personal way (ii) express their evaluations about what is been narrated, (iii) structure narrativa not necessarily in tenns of "conflict/resolution", but in a way that "resolution" category is not obrigatory, (iv) present the characters through a subjective perspectiva, showing their internai processes (feelings, thoughts etc.) and (v) inscribe the narrative sequences in other fictional domains. The narrativas analysed in this thesis were collected by a group of researchers from Universidade Federal do Pará and were published in three volumes. The analysis of thirty narrativas allows us to conclude that narrators can linguistically configurate narrative tradition in two ways: the first one, characterized by the fact that narrators privilege when telling their stories the dimensions of repetition and stability; the second one, characterized by the fact that narrators privilege when telling their stories the dimensions of difference and instability.

Aspectos bioquímicos e morfológicos da matriz extracelular das cartilagens septal e alares do nariz suíno
(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 1999-07-02) MESSIAS JÚNIOR, Nazário de Souza; GOMES, Laurecir; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0032653238117133
The objective of the present study was to characterize some aspects of the extracellular matrix components of the alar and septal cartilage of the nose of swine and to examine the histological and histochemical aspects of the two types of cartilage. The kaotropic agent Gu-HCl was used to extract the matrix components. The predominant glycosaminoglycan in the two caitilages was chondroitin sulfate. After ultracentrifugation, the D4 fraction of the septal and alar cartilages was fractioned on DEAE-Sephacel using na NaCl gradient. SDS-PAGE analysiys showed similarities between the two cartilages, with the presence of fíbromodulin, decorin and binding proteins. Only the septal cartilage presented the 115 kDa component, which possibly appears as 30 kDa subunits after the action of the reducing agent. The glycosaminoglycan populations were determined by fractionation on Sepharose CL-6B followed by analysis of the samples on the agarosepolyacrilamide gel. The two cartilages presented a strongly polydispersed population, which was less uniformly polydispersed in the septal than in the alar cartilage. AD2 fractionation on DEAE-Sephacel and sample analysis by SDS-PAGE and agarosepolyacrylamide electrophoresis showed the presence of the small proteoglycans biglycan and decorin, possible associated with the large proteoglycans. The septal cartilage presents chondrocytes roughly arranged in rows accompanyng the widest axis of the cartilage, whereas the alar cartilage presents chondrocytes characteristically arranged in isogenic groups. Histhochemistry was performed usisng Xylidine Ponceau for total proteins, Picrosirius-Hematoxylin for collagen, Toluidine Blue for total glycosaminoglycans. And alcian blues, pH 2.5 and pH 1.0, for sulfated and carboxylated glycosaminoglycans. Total glycosaminoglycans are more cleary visible in the territorial matrix, whereas total proteins are more cleary visible in the interterritorial matrix. The collagen of the septal cartilage is roughly organized along the longitudinal axis of the specimens between the chondrocytes rows.

Benedito Nunes e a moderna crítica literária brasileira (1946-1969)
(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 2012-02-28) NASCIMENTO, Maria de Fátima do; KOCH, Ingedore Grunfeld Villaça
This dissertation, about the literary criticism of Benedito Nunes, divided in two parts, is based on a variety of textual genres (attempts to write novels, poems, aphorisms, chronicles on science, poetry and philosophy, interviews, criticism on poetry and novels). In other words, this study is about Nunes‟ first texts on some newspapers of Belém do Pará: “Supplement of Art and Literature”, on the newspaper Folha do Norte (1946-1951), in which the author starts his career as a literary critic, also writing on magazines such as Encontro (1948) and Norte (1952). This study is also based on Benedito Nunes‟ writings on other newspapers of Brazil, such as the “Sunday Supplement” of Jornal do Brasil and on the supplements of journals like O Estado de São Paulo and O Estado de Minas Gerais (texts containing analysis of poems, novels and philosophy); and, still, Nunes‟ first books: O mundo de Clarice Lispector (1966) and O dorso do tigre (1969). The latter causes the writer to be considered one of the exponents of modern literary criticism in the second half of the twentieth century in Brazil, mainly of the works of art of writers who published from the decade of 1940 on, namely, Clarice Lispector, Guimarães Rosa and João Cabral de Melo Neto, just to name a few. The compilation of the texts published on journals, besides enabling the identification of the main readings of Benedito Nunes, which were incorporated to the conception of his criticism, considering some Christian philosophers as Saint Thomas Aquinas, Pascal, and, particularly, a precursor of existentialism, Kierkegaard, which will be constant in the analysis of the Brazilian author, makes it possible to trace the intellectual path followed by Benedito Nunes, specially as a literary critic. The writer will, lately, add the ideas of Sartre and Heidegger to his analysis. Specifically considering Heidegger, who Nunes studies throughout his whole life, it is possible to see the ontological conception of artistic creation by verbal language, which, to the German philosopher, corresponds to the foundation of the self by the word. Regarding the division of this study, the first part contains the intellectual path Benedito Nunes followed, as well as analysis of the material compiled from the newspapers and from the two books of this Brazilian critic. The second part contains a sample of the material which was compiled.

Ciberespaço x Centro de Cálculo: em busca de parâmetros e procedimentos para a atuação das bibliotecas na era do conhecimento
(Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia/Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, 2000) COSTA, Rosemarie de Almeida; PEREIRA, Maria de Nazaré Freitas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0817031652271267
This study deals with the actor-network theory and stresses the concept of centres of calculation which is seen as an operator capable of showing the role that a library plays in the cyberspace. This concept uses the Janus' paradox to recover the history of the libraries by linking their past, present and future through the operations that put them in motion. The idea of cyberspace is discussed according to the assumptions of Pierre Lévy putting in relief a major problem which is inherent to the cybernetic medium itself and has to be faced by the libraries, i.e. the intermediators. In turn, the idea of centres of calculation is brought up since it allows to recover services that place a library in action in the cyberspace. An investigation in the network is done based on the elements that indicate that the libraries of the brazilian federal universities operate in the cybernetic medium. It is evident from an analylis of the operators identified in the evolution of these libraries that their traditional pratices have incorporated a process of continuous redefinition in response to technological changes in the fields of communication and information.

Colonização, catequese e educação no Grão-Pará
(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 2003-02-24) COLARES, Anselmo Alencar; LOMBARDI, José Claudinei; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9792876515583843
This thesis, analyzed the educational aspects with a broader approach during the Grão-Pará colonisation, which started with the foundation of the Forte do Presépio in 1616, and extended until the end of the pombalino period in 1777. The sources used for this research included written records of regional writers, including jusuit priests who were eyewitnesses to the events, and history books related to this theme. Colonisation, catecheses and education are seen as directry related to each other, articuiated in a broader process which brought the development and expansion of captaiism. Moved by the need to expand their territories and commercial networts, and at the same time by religious interests, settlers from the 'Old World' launched themselves to the seas and accomplished the so-called 'Great Discoveries'. In the 'New World' the highly unequalled cultures clashed. The settler's intentions were to modify habits and believesof the native people in order to better serve their interests. It was necessery to make them 'civilized'. Thus, the relationship between settiers and native people had an important role in the educational process. The catecheses not only served to bring the indians to the catholich faith, but also to introduce the apropriated behavior that would correspond to the econemic interests. The educational process worked like na ideologic element disaggragating the way of life of the native people, reorganizing the knowledge, the ability to do and the power, contributing for theinsertion of Brazil in the g,roup of suppliers of goods and wealth which afforded a build up of capitais by the european bourgeoisie. There was also some schooling, but limited to a few people, reproducing and reinforcing the priviledges and the social framework of that period.

Contribuição ao gerenciamento de recursos hídricos do Rio Piracicaba
(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 1995-09) BARP, Ana Rosa Baganha; BARBOSA, Paulo Sérgio Franco; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9653654803297649
This work deals with a network flow optimization problem applied to the Piracicaba river system. A mathematical optimization method which gives great computational efficiency was selected. The aim is to help the management and operation of hydrografic basins geared to the control of the quality and quantity of the water. Computational mathematical models were chosen due to their speedy and efficient aid to decision making. The problem was handled by adopting the multiobjective formulation of the Weight Method and a networks flow optimization algorithm coupled with a piece-wise linear objective function. At was verified that the river system responds satisfactorily as long as the flow of a twenty-four month's period is known in advance (deterministc flows) and with due manipulation of the storages and differentiation of the storages with time. The systemic vision the models provides is an alternative approach to the traditional studies that evaluate the benefits the hydraulic structures in the punctual form

Contribution tho the eletric power systems economic planning: an algorithm for the simultaneos expansion of generation and transmission using linear approximation. Economic Planning of Generation and Transmission in Electrical Power Systems constitutes a Nonlinear Optimization Problem which has some complexity and must be treated in a global manner. Several iteractive methods has been proposed to solve problems of this nature but sometimes are unaceptable due time and large computer storage requirements. This complexity is enlarged if generation and transmission were simultaneously optimized. Linear programming has been considered as a promissing tool to solve these problems but due the linearization of nonlinear functions the results presents some loss of accuracy, even so, for planning purposes these results are aceptable. In this work we propose a Global Algorithm for the Economic Planning of Simultaneous Expansion of Generation and Transmission in Electrical Power Systems based on the application of a Linear Programming Method and Minimum Cost Flow Algorithm which permits discret addition of generation and circuits units to the system with minimum investment cost in each period. Losses and maximum capacity of the lines are included in the algorithm, some examples are shown and at the end we suggest some extensions to further works.

Correlação entre condições de solidificação, microestrutura a resistência mecânica
(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 1999-02-02) QUARESMA, José Maria do Vale; GARCIA, Amauri; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1721691084829002
Correlation among solidification conditions, microstructure and mechanical behavior / The imposition of a wide range of operational conditions in foudry and static casting generates, as a direct consequence, a diversity of solidification structures. Structural parameters such as grain size and interdendrictic spacings are highly influenced by the thermal behavior of the metal/mold system. during solidification, consequently imposing a close correlation between the described system and the resulting microstructure. The mechanical properties of an alIoy in its crude state of solidification depend on the microstructural arrangement defined in the solidification process. Under the circumstances, the mechanical behavior of the alIoy, represented by stresses and/or strains, wilI be defined by grain size, interdendritic spacings, casual porosities, segregated products and other phases. Expressions correlating the mechanical behavior with microstructural parameters are very useful in order to search for a type of previous planning of the solidification conditions in terms of a determined leveI of mechanical resistance which is intended to be attained, e.g. to settle a way of programming the microstructure and the mechanical properties as well. Particularly, the literature in this field presents relations between the yield strength of the material and the grain size, such as the renowned HalI-Petch's equation. The present work advances in that direction, in search of relations among mechanical behavior in the plastic field, secondary dendritic spacings and solidification conditions. In order to analyze an important variable of solidification in molds with good heat diffusivity, like the metal/mold heat transfer coefficient, alloys of the Sn-Pb system - with compositions Sn- 5%Pb, Sn- 10%Pb, Sn- 20%Pb, Sn- 38,1%Pb (eutectic) - besides the element tin, were chosen. The choice was made because such alloys are easily handled in laboratory and chiefly because their thermophysical properties are well known. Particularly the influences of the following operational conditions on hi were investigated: mold thickness, liquid metal superheating and magnitude of the solidification range. Experimental results related to the distribution of temperatures in metal and mold during solidification, as compared with the results of simulation with a numerical model, made it possible to attain of expressions, for each case, by relating hi in terms of time. Heat transfer from the external surface of the mold to the environment was also analyzed; in the same manner, expressions were developed correlating the mold/environment heat transfer coefficient hAmb in terms of time as well. To correlate parameters of dendritic structures and mechanical properties, the following alloys of the Al-Cu system were chosen: Al- 4,5%Cu; Al- 15%Cu. The same aforementioned analysis referring to hi and hAmb was extended to those alloys including the one of eutectic composition (Al- 33%Cu) and pure aluminum. Based upon results of standardized solidification tests, secondary dendritic spacing ( EDS ) and upon mathematical models of heat transfer and dendritic growth, expressions were developed correlating the ultimate tensile strength (σu) and specific elongation (δ) as a function of variables of the metallmold system. Thus it was a way towards the programming of the dendritic structure and the leveI of resistance as a function of preestablished operational conditions in the solidification process.

This study analyzes the actions of the Brazilian State during the past two decades, having Social Policies, and, specifically, Educational Policies as the center of discussion. Local power is analyzed through Government Plans for the State of Para during the period of 1983 to March 1991, administrations from the perspective of political clienteles and its networks within the governmental area. An analysis of the State of Para educational public policy seeks to comprehend its effectiveness in relation to the necessary changes in the pedagogical process It is accepted as a premise that the actors that formulate the policies and the actors that execute these policies are distinct, but, both, accept the challenge of the formulation and administration of Educational Policy. Although planning and execution are related processes, in practice, they do not occur in this form We further attempt, a comparative analysis between the two administrations and the public policies elaborated and implemented by them. We opted to work with politics starting from 1982 - the first direct election in the States after 1964.

Desenvolvimento de um método para a análise da solidificação de metais superaquecidos em moldes cilíndricos refrigerados
(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 1983) MOREIRA, Antonio Luciano Seabra; SANTOS, Rezende Gomes dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8824197696621614
This work presents a theoretical-experimental study on the solidification of metals, initially at a temperature above the melting point, in cooled cylindrical moulds. A literature survey was carried out regarding the heat transfer methods applied to solidification in metal/mould systems. Using a radial water cooled device simulating the solidification of cylindrical geometries, experimental values of the solidified thickness as function of time were obtained. A method was developed to analyse the solidification kinetics of superheated metals in cooled cylindrical moulds and the predictions furnished by this method were compared with the experimental data. Possible applications of the proposed method to the solution of practical problems in the foundry process 3re presented. Finally a comparative study of the solidification kinetics of solidified metals in plane, cylindrical and spherical geometries is presented.

Determinação entalpimétrica de cálcio e magnésio em calcários usando-se um entalpímetro de fluxo contínuo
(Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 1986-03-10) MENDES, Afonso Silva; OLIVEIRA, Walace Alves de
Determination of calcium and magnesium in limestone using a flow enthalpimeter is described. The apparatus consists of a peristaltic pump, a proportional injector, two twin thermistors, a Wheatstone bridge and a strip-chart recorder. The injector, the 'flow manifolds and the emperature-sensing elqments are immersed in San insulated water bath. For the determination of calcium, preliminary studies were undertaken using the precipitation reaction with ammonium oxalate and the complaxation with Na2-EDTA and Mg-EDTA. After these studies, the experimental procedure chosen was based on complexation with Mg-EDTA. In order to test the method, determination of calcium was performed in synthetic, certified and other samples. Precision and accuracy was found to be equal to 1.0% and the analytical rate was 100 samples per hour. For the determination of magnesium, initial tests were conducted investigating the possibility of using the complexation reaction with Na2-EDTA and the previous separation of calcium by means of precipitation with ammonium oxalate and ammonium molybdate. In the final procedure, the complexation reaction with Na2-EDTA was chosen to give the amount of both calcium and magnesium. Then, magnesium is found by difference, since the percentage of calcium is known. Resuls of several determinations indicate an average error around 4% for samples with MgO higher than 10%. The uncertainty increases for samples having MgO lower than 10%. The analytical rate is about 100 samples per hour. The results of the enthalpimetric method were compared with those found by other techniques such as volumetry ( by complexation) atomic absorption and flame photometry.
