Metal extraction process using polymeric membranes is analyzed by using the lines-Gear method in the solution of the related equations of specie conservations. The mathematical modeling of the physical problem is done by considering the diffusion process of metals in polymeric membranes in order to extract metals, such as Cd (II), Au (III) and Pd (II) from acid solutions. Therefore, the behavior of concentration profiles of metals to be extracted from the feeding phase is discussed in the light of the influence of relevant parameters in the extraction process, such as, composition and thickness of the membrane, diffusion coefficient and constant extraction. Comparisons with previously reported results in the literature for typical situations are also performed. The obtained results were very satisfactory when they were compared with other found results in the literature.

This paper discusses the seismic modeling in medium with strong discontinuities in its physical properties. The approach takes in consideration the existences diffractions and multiple reflections in the analyzed medium, which, at that case, is the Amazon Basin. The stability and boundary conditions of modeling were analyzed by the method of the finite differences. Sedimentary rocks deposited since the Ordovician to the present, reaching depth up to 5 Km. The bodies of diabasic between the paleozoic sediments are layers reaching thickness of hundred meters, which add to 90.000 km3, form the geology of the Amazon Basin. The occurrence of these structures is responsible for multiple reflections during the propagation of the seismic waves, which become impossible a better imaging of horizons located bellow the layers. The representation this geological situation was performed an (synthetic) acoustic velocity model. The numerical discretization scheme is based in a fourth order approximation of the acoustic wave equation in space and time The understanding of the wave propagation heterogeneous medium has improved for the application of the finite difference method. The method achieves a good resolution in the interpretation of seismic reflection events. The numerical results discusses in this paper have allowed to observed the influence of the multiple reflection in a high velocity layer. It increase a loss of energy and difficult the interpretation of the target. For this reason the integration of surface data with the well data is recommended, with the objective to get one better image of the targets below of the diabasic layer.

Nova metodologia para análise e síntese de sistemas de aterramento complexos utilizando o método lN-FDTD, computação paralela automática e redes neurais artificiais
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-02-29) OLIVEIRA, Rodrigo Melo e Silva de; SOUZA SOBRINHO, Carlos Leônidas da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1450994881555781
The FDTD method in General Coordinates (LN-FDTD) was implemented for analyzing structures not coincident to the Cartesian coordinate system. The method solves the Maxwells equations in time domain, allowing the calculation of data concerning the transitory and steady-state responses of such structures. The method is applied to analyze of special grounding electrodes. A new formulation for the truncating technique UPML, for conductive media, referred here as LN-UPML, was developed and implemented in order to make the simulations viable. A new methodology for locating grounding grid faults using two Artificial Neural Networks is presented. The LN-FDTD software was tested and validated though simulations of various grounding systems. A graphical user interface, named LANE SAGS, was implemented to simplify the use and to automate the data processing.
