Comparação do teor de taninos entre duas espécies de espinheira-santa (Maytenus aquifolium Mart.e Maytenus ilicifolia Mart. ex Reissek)cultivadas no Horto Medicinal do Refúgio Biológico Bela Vista - RBBV da Itaipu Binacional - Foz do Iguaçu, PR - Brasil.

The two species of (espinheira-santa) Maytenus aquifolium and Maytenus ilicifolia, which belong to the Celastraceae family, have been intensively explored in native populations, due to its medicinal potential. The great interest in the espinheira-santa is due to its effectiveness on the treatment of gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers. The antiulcerogenic effect is related to the presence of phenolic compounds, more specifically the tannins. This study aimed to compare the tannin doses between these two species grown in the Medicinal Garden of Bela Vista Biological Refuge - RBBV of Itaipu in the city of Foz do Iguacu, PR - Brazil. Two trials were conducted with one month interval, for the quantification of the tannins by a spectrophotometry, according to the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia V. The results were analyzed through the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the difference in the tannins doses was demonstrated in a Tukey test at 5% level of significance employing the SISVAR software. It were found 0.61% of tannins for lot 1 and 2 of Maytenus aquifolium, and 3.90% for Maytenus ilicifolia, which represents 84.35% more tannin at Maytenus ilicifolia than at Maytenus aquifolium. Therefore, the species should not be interchanged.

FPGA Communication Framework for Communication, Debugging, Testing, and Rapid Prototyping

FPGA Ethernet Platform for Communication, Debugging, Testing, and Rapid Prototyping Peter Andrew Thorpe Lieber Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Master of Science FPGA-CF is an open-source, portable, extensible communications framework that consists of a small hardware core (less than 600 slices) and and a host-software library/API (Java and C++). It enables a host PC to transmit data at 120 Mb/s to Xilinx-based FPGA boards via Ethernet using standard inter-networking protocols (UDP/IP). A custom lightweight connection-oriented protocol guarantees reliability. The hardware core is directly connected to the Xilinx internal configuration port (ICAP) and supports all ICAP functionality. The core also provides an extensible user-channel interface and provides up to 15, 8-bit user-data channels that can be connected to user circuitry (configurable by the user). The host software API supports both Java and C++ and provides high-level functionality for making connections and transmitting data. The utility of the system is demonstrated by implementing an on-chip test/debug system using FPGA-CF.

Revisiting Goals, Feedback, Recognition, and Performance Success

In this paper, we propose that only some of the conventional findings pertaining to the enhancing effects of feedback and recognition on performance success as well as the moderating role they play in the goal–performance relationship may apply to project teams, whereas others may not. We focus on the above activities that are well grounded in the general organizational research and reexamine them within the project management context. Data were collected from 88 project managers and their direct supervisors via questionnaires. Results showed that leader goal, feedback, and recognition activities were important only for improved team effectiveness, but not for team efficiency. Furthermore, feedback and recognition moderated the goal–performance relationship, regardless of the performance measures used. The implications of these findings for future research on project teams are discussed.
Using Three Online Course Management Systems in EFL Instruction.

Abstract Nicenet, WebCT and Moodle were used to teach grammar to freshman students at the College of Languages and Translation, King Saud University in Saudi Arabia. The subjects were divided into three groups and were randomly assigned to the three online courses. The same questions, discussion threads, grammar websites, daily grammar lesson, exercises and quizzes were posted in the three online courses. Daily observations of student reactions, questions and discussions as well as responses to post-treatment questionnaires showed that Nicenet was the most popular. The effective and ineffective use of Online Course Management Systems in EFL instruction by female freshman students in Saudi Arabia are discussed. 1. Introduction Thousands of students and instructors are using Online course Management Systems like Blackboard, WebCT, Online Learning, eCollege, Moodle, Manhattan Virtual Classroom and Nicenet and many others to teach all kinds of courses including EFL and ESL. A literature review showed some studies that compared the technical aspects, i.e. web course tools of some online courses. For example, Marshall University (1999) presented a chart comparison between Blackboard, Convene, Embanet, eCollege, Saratoga Group, Symposium, TopClass, WebCT, Web Course in A Box, and WebMentor. The chart compares the software costs, hardware requirements, technical support, developmental features, student tools, instructor tools, instructional features, administrator tools, and administrative features. In addition, Wisdom tools at the Center for Excellence and Indiana University (1997) presented a chart comparing e-Web,
Efficient Packet Scheduling in Wireless Multihop Networks

Limited channel spectrum and rapid growth in the number of wireless devices make the issue of efficient channel resource utilization in wireless networks critical. Additionally, with the growth of real-time applications, wireless networks that support quality of service (QoS) have also drawn a lot of attention. This dissertation focuses on the design of scheduling algorithms to improve channel utilization and to support differentiated service in wireless multihop networks. To improve the channel utilization, we discuss approaches along both the temporal dimension and the spatial dimension. In the temporal dimension, when two nodes are competing for the channel, their channel accesses are separated in time to ensure successful transmissions. As an improvement over the conventional approaches, we propose the application of "pipelining" techniques to medium access control (MAC) protocol design. Pipelining, which allows the execution of multiple tasks to overlap in time, can help to hide MAC overhead by overlapping it with useful packet transmissions, leading to improved channel utilization. In the spatial dimension, due to radio signal attenuation, two competing nodes separated in space can be allowed to transmit at the same time, using transmission rates suitable for their link qualities. Exploiting the fact that nodes in a wireless network compete for "space" to schedule their packet transmissions, we propose a new approach that adapts the "space" occupied by the transmissions, named "spatial backoff," to improve the channel utilization. In order to support differentiated service, the medium access control protocol must provide certain mechanisms to incorporate differentiated priority scheduling, such that higher priority traffic can be transmitted in preference to lower priority traffic. The "location dependent channel contention" and "hidden terminals" make priority scheduling significantly different from that in wireless LANs. In this dissertation, we also discuss issues related to priority scheduling in multihop networks. A priority scheduling protocol is proposed to ensure channel access privilege of high priority packets and to improve the channel utilization when high priority packets are not present.
Bank Capital Adjustment Process and Aggregate Lending

This paper proposes a new micro-founded measure to quantify the aggregate capitalisation of banking sectors taking into account both market discipline and regulatory constraints. It allows studying the connection between micro capital shortfalls from an implicit bank specific capital target and macro impacts of capital shortages on aggregate lending. (i) Our quantitative country-wide index of bank capitalisation is consistent with the qualitative reports of the ECB Bank Lending Survey. (ii) This index correlates with future fluctuations in aggregate lending,especially when a banking system is under-capitalised. (iii) The adjustment of capital constrained banks mostly impact loans to domestic non-financial agents. Thus our measure suggests that (a) countercyclical capital requirements may be less effective if market constraints are more important, and (b) slow moving balance sheet variables can help detect vulnerabilities and reversals in the lending cycle.
Dynamics of nuclear single-particle structure in covariant theory of particle-vibration coupling: From light to superheavy nuclei

The impact of particle-vibration coupling and polarization effects due to deformation and time-odd mean fields on single-particle spectra is studied systematically in doubly magic nuclei from low-mass {sup 56}Ni up to superheavy ones. Particle-vibration coupling is treated fully self-consistently within the framework of the relativistic particle-vibration coupling model. Polarization effects due to deformation and time-odd mean field induced by odd particle are computed within covariant density functional theory. It has been found that among these contributions the coupling to vibrations makes a major impact on the single-particle structure. The impact of particle-vibration coupling and polarization effects on calculated single-particle spectra, the size of the shell gaps, the spin-orbit splittings and the energy splittings in pseudospin doublets is discussed in detail; these physical observables are compared with experiment. Particle-vibration coupling has to be taken into account when model calculations are compared with experiment since this coupling is responsible for observed fragmentation of experimental levels; experimental spectroscopic factors are reasonably well described in model calculations.
MULTI-LAYER STUDY OF WAVE PROPAGATION IN SUNSPOTS

We analyze the propagation of waves in sunspots from the photosphere to the chromosphere using time series of co-spatial Ca ii H intensity spectra (including its line blends) and polarimetric spectra of Si i λ10,827 and the He i λ10,830 multiplet. From the Doppler shifts of these lines we retrieve the variation of the velocity along the line of sight at several heights. Phase spectra are used to obtain the relation between the oscillatory signals. Our analysis reveals standing waves at frequencies lower than 4 mHz and a continuous propagation of waves at higher frequencies, which steepen into shocks in the chromosphere when approaching the formation height of the Ca ii H core. The observed nonlinearities are weaker in Ca ii H than in He i lines. Our analysis suggests that the Ca ii H core forms at a lower height than the He i λ10,830 line: a time delay of about 20 s is measured between the Doppler signal detected at both wavelengths. We fit a model of linear slow magnetoacoustic wave propagation in a stratified atmosphere with radiative losses according to Newton's cooling law to the phase spectra and derive the difference in the formation height of the spectral lines. We show that the linear model describes well the wave propagation up to the formation height of Ca ii H, where nonlinearities start to become very important.

PoGOLite: 2011 flight results and 2012 pre-flight predictions

PoGOLite is a balloon-borne experiment designed to measure the polarisation of hard X-rays emitted by point sources. The polarimeter makes use of phoswich detector cells which serve both to measure the signal and for background rejection. Further background rejection is achieved by an active side anti-coincidence shield and a passive polyethylene shield. The polarimeter was launched for the first time on the 7th of July 2011 from Kiruna, Sweden and was foreseen to land on Victoria Island, Canada 5 days later. Due to a helium leak in the balloon, however, the payload did not reach its designed float altitude and landed 7 hours after launch. Tests during this short maiden flight showed that the different payload components performed as designed. A higher than anticipated event rate was however measured both with the polarimeter and an on-board neutron scintillator. In preparation for the 2012 flight, the atmospheric neutron spectrum was simulated specifically for the altitude and latitude of the PoGOLite flight. The event rate induced by such a neutron spectrum was shown through simulations to be approximately 8 times higher than previously assumed. These simulation results have been compared to the data acquired during the 2011 flight and were shown to be in good agreement. Comparisons of the simulated and measured spatial distributions of events within the instrument further confirm the neutron origin of the high event rate measured during the 2011 flight. These distributions also indicate a possibility for an improvement of the signal over background ratio by considering the geometry of events during analysis. Using both the simulated signal and background rates, the minimum detectable polarisation of the different targets of the 2012 mission were calculated. It is shown that a significant polarimetric measurement of both the Crab nebula and CygnusX1 in the hard X-ray regime is possible during this campaign. A measurement of the Crab pulsar is shown to be a challenge due to the high background rates.
Magnetic Hysteretic Characterization of Ferromagnetic Materials with Objectives towards Non-Destructive Evaluation of Material Degradation

Structurele componenten en machineonderdelen vervaardigd uit staal worden vaak onder veeleisende omstandigheden uitgebaat. Dit kan aanleiding geven tot materiaaldegradatieprocessen zoals verbrossing en metaalvermoeiing. Mettertijd kunnen deze microstructurele processen leiden tot een graduele verslechtering van de mechanische eigenschappen, en eventueel tot scheurgroei en breuk. Om dit te vermijden is het monitoren van de materiaalintegriteit van groot belang, wat uitgevoerd kan worden met behulp van niet-destructieve evaluatietechnieken. In dit doctoraatsonderzoek bestuderen we de mogelijkheden van magnetische hysteretische karakteriseringstechnieken voor het niet-destructief monitoren van toenemende materiaaldegradatie van ferromagnetisch constructiestaal. Dergelijke aanpak is gemotiveerd door de kennis dat magnetisch hysteretisch gedrag beinvloed is door microstructurele materiaaleigenschappen. Anders geformuleerd, de verandering in de vorm van de magnetische hysteresislussen, experimenteel waargenomen op verschillende momenten tijdens de materiaaldegradatie, reflecteert de onderliggende microstructurele veranderingen en de degradatie van de mechanische eigenschappen. Een van de onderzochte onderwerpen is de verbrossing van ferritisch staal door neutronenbestraling. Dit effect kan schadelijk zijn voor het drukvat van een nucleaire reactor. De maximum-permeabiliteit vertoont een significante dalende trend met stijgende neutronendosis en met stijgende vloeigrens, hetgeen het potentieel aangeeft van de magnetische hysteretische evaluatie van verbrossing door neutronenbestraling. Een andere topic is het continu monitoren van metaalvermoeiing aan de hand van een magnetomechanische methode. Deze methode resulteert in informatie over de verschillende vermoeiingsstadia, alsook over het finale vermoeiingsstadium. De ontwikkelde magnetische en magnetomechanische karakteriseringstechnieken kunnen gebruikt worden voor de niet-destructieve evaluatie van mechanische en microstructurele eigenschappen, met als doelstelling de beoordeling van de materiaalintegriteit tijdens uitbating en/of voor de kwaliteitscontrole tijdens materiaalproductieprocessen.

Chapter 04. Framework to understand postgraduate students' adaption of academics' teaching materials as OER

This chapter addresses a way of responding to one of the key challenges of OER contribution, namely academics' lack of time to re-purpose teaching materials originally intended for campus-based face-to-face lectures as stand-alone Open Educational Resources (OER). It describes how masters' students, tutors and interns at the University of Cape Town have been engaged to support the innovative practice of adapting academics' existing teaching materials into OER. COLEARNING OBJECTIVES This paper identifies that there are relatively few studies that have investigated the role of postgraduate students in the OER creation process, even though this process may be happening in practice. Moreover it suggests that there is a lack of information about why postgraduate students are motivated to assist their lecturers to adapt materials as OER. It uses Rogers' (1983; 1995) Diffusion of Innovation theory and specifically his theory of Perceived Attributes and its extension by Moore and Benbasat (1991) as a framework for understanding these postgraduate students' willingness to participate in this innovative practice. REUSABILITY This chapter can by be reused by those who are grappling with ways to encourage and support academics to contribute their teaching materials originally used in face-to-face lectures as publicly available OER. It can also be used by those who might want to appoint postgraduates as OER assistants to academics and help them identify the key attributes and factors that seem to influence OER adoption by postgraduate students.
The Acquisition of Numeral Classifiers: The Case of Japanese Children

This book is about the numeral classifier system and the acquisition of Japanese classifiers by Japanese children. It consists of three parts. First, it provides a general typological characterization of numeral classifier phrases and discusses the semantic properties of numeral classifiers based on an analysis of four languages from four different language families. Second, it extensively reviews classifier acquisition research from eight different languages. Third, it examines the acquisition of numeral classifiers by Japanese preschool children. The importance of the study is that it reveals that young children have a much greater sensitivity to the conceptual underpinnings of the numeral classifier system than was previously considered to be the case.
