Artistici(d)ade: Os grafites de São Paulo e a antropofagia criativa do espaço metropolitano

O autor descreve uma excursão pela cidade de São Paulo, que parte do bairro de Perdizes, na Zona Oeste de São Paulo, e chega ao bairro da Zona Sul, Grajaú. Nesse caminho, são observados diversos grafites realizados artista Mauro Neri. Nesse percurso, reflete-se semioticamente sobre as significações produzidas pelos grafites em diferentes regiões da cidade, os modos de se viver na metrópole e as escapatórias possíveis de se viver em um ambiente por vezes opressivo e violento. Assim, é por meio da dimensão sensível que se pode vislumbrar, no colorido às vezes desbotado do grafite, novas formas de vida.

Description: Twenty schools were randomized to 4 conditions: curriculum, wellness, curriculum and wellness, and delayed control. This year-long intervention with 5th graders was based on social cognitive and self-determination theories. Evaluation: To date, we have: validated instruments and protocols; tested ARS clickers; revised interventions based on formative data; and analyzed baseline data (n1⁄41420 students). Conclusions and Implications: Interim results are promising. If found effective in reducing childhood obesity, the interventions could be widely disseminated. Funding: USDA Grant #2010-85215-20661.
Great Tyrrhenian Accessible Route

This thematic strategic project is the result of the collaboration of 15 partners from the 5 regions of the cross-border cooperation area of which the most considerable part has already collaborated during the previous planning, including projects such as Itercost, For Access, Bonesprit, Arcipelago Mediterranean and Accessit. This experience originated the concept of the Great Tyrrhenian Itinerary (GIT), i.e. organising the various forms of cultural heritage of this vast area into a system of local routes and itineraries. The goal is to capitalise on the current situation, thereby reaching a kind of critical mass. This will allow the partners to consider a tourism placement device that will make cultural heritage accessible to all and enable the economic exploitation of the local identity potential, which results the partners consider essential. Led by the CTC-DP and the Accessit project, three specific objectives will be pursued to achieve concrete results consistent with the programme result indicator: - organisation of a governance model to allow an agreement between the regions to perpetuate the management system of the Great Tyrrhenian Route; - dissemination and transfer of knowledge between social groups to develop public actions that will contribute to broadening the network of partners; - increased number of routes and access gates complying with the principles that the partners intend to develop to formalise an offer of durable and cultural tourism. In order to achieve these goals, innovative tools using communication technologies will be developed to process basic data and come up with offers supported by the implementation of a European promotion plan.
Pre-Commercial pilot for the efficient recovery of precious metals from european end of life resources with novel low cost technologies

PEACOC will showcase a first-of-a-kind economically and environmentally viable pre-commercial metallurgical system for recovering Precious Metals (PMs) (i.e. Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) identified as critical raw materials by the European Commission (EC), as well as gold (Au) and silver (Ag)), highly important for the EU economy, from a wide variety of abundant end-of-life (EPEACOC will showcase a first-of-a-kind economically and environmentally viable pre-commercial metallurgical system for recovering Precious Metals (PMs) (i.e. Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) identified as critical raw materials by the European Commission (EC), as well as gold (Au) and silver (Ag)), highly important for the EU economy, from a wide variety of abundant end-of-life (EoL) products in Europe. The concept is mainly based on previously developed recovery and refining technologies to TRL 5 in the PLATIRUS Research and Innovation project (Micro-Wave assisted leaching and Gas Diffusion Electrocrystallization GDEx), which were flagged by the Innovation Radar initiative of the EC as excellent innovations and showed a significant cost reduction and lower environmental impact compared to state-of-the-art hydrometallurgical processes as will be shown throughout the proposal. The PEACOC system will be demonstrated at pre-commercial scale at TRL7 with capacity to treat ~50t of PMs concentrates/year i.e., with a recovery capacity of i)2 kg PGMs/week from spent autocatalysts (containing ~2.5kg PGMs/t), ii) 0.5-1 kg Au/week from Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) with a focus on low and medium grade PCBA (containing 20-100 g Au/t) that are currently poorly valorized in industrial smelting processes due to low PM concentrations, and iii) 10 kg Ag/week from EoL Photovoltaic (PV) panels (containing ~3-10 kg Ag/t) which will be an abundant resource in Europe in the coming few years. The project will demonstrate the production of PMs at a profit margin up to 80% with respect to current PMs market prices.
Noncirrhotic portal hypertension in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected adolescent

OBJECTIVE: To alert the pediatrician who is following up HIV-infected patients about the possibility of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) in this period of life, in order to avoid the catastrophic consequences of this disease as bleeding esophageal varices. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 13 years old HIV-infected patient by vertical route was receiving didanosine (ddI) for 12 years. Although the HIV viral load had been undetectable for 12 years, this patient showed gradual decrease of CD4+ T cells, prolonged thrombocytopenia and high alkaline phosphatase. Physical examination detected splenomegaly, which triggered the investigation that led to the diagnosis of severe liver fibrosis by transient elastography, probably due to hepatic toxicity by prolonged use of ddI. COMMENTS: This is the first case of NCPH in HIV-infected adolescent described in Brazil. Although, the NCPH is a rare disease entity in seropositive patients in the pediatric age group, it should be investigated in patients on long-term ddI or presenting clinical and laboratories indicators of portal hypertension, as splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia and increased alkaline phosphatase.
Measurements and simulations for peak electrical load reduction in cooling dominated climate

Abstract Peak electric demand due to cooling load in the Desert Southwest region of the US has been an issue for the electrical energy suppliers. To address this issue, a consortium has been formed between the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Pulte Homes (home builder) and NV Energy (local utility) in order to reduce the peak load by more than 65%. The implemented strategies that were used to accomplish that goal consist of energy efficiency in homes, onsite electricity generation through roof integrated PV, direct load control, and battery storage at the substation level. The simulation models developed using building energy analysis software were validated against measured data. The electrical energy demand for the upgraded home during peak period (1:00–7:00 PM) decreased by approximately 37% and 9% compared to a code standard home of the same size, due to energy efficiency and PV generation, respectively. The total decrease in electrical demand due to energy efficiency and PV generation during the peak period is 46%. Additionally, a 2.2 °C increase in thermostat temperature from 23.9 °C to 26.1 °C between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM has further decreased the average demand during the peak period by 69% of demand from a standard home.
DYNAMIC ELECTRONIC CHAIN-OF-TRUST DOCUMENT WITH AUDIT TRAIL

A system and method for processing form documents across a communications network that includes a first access device (308), a second access device (316) and a form server (404). The system may determine whether the operators of the access devices have the proper credentials to access or modify a particular form document or particular section of a form document. The system may require submission of a digital signature by an operator and record the date and time the digital signature was submitted and not permit the form to be modified until an additional digital signature is submitted and an additional date and time recorded.
Promote Clean Public Transport

The project partnership is convinced that electricity-based mobility is the cleanest and most efficient mobility solution today and considers (electric) trolleybuses as the best and ready-to-use response to the urban mobility challenges in Central Europe.
 
Project partners consider trolleybus systems as a ready-to-use transport technology for the future; for both medium-sized and large urban areas. Locally, trolleybuses are zero-emission vehicles, highly energy-efficient, able to re-use braking energy, and not loosing energy while idling at bus stops. They have the lowest possible consumption of non-renewable resources (50% less compared to diesel buses) and are 100% environmentally friendly when using energy from renewable sources. Electricity to power trolleybuses can be generated basically by any available source: this constitutes public transport of the future.

In operation, trolleybuses have the lowest possible noise and vibration level in public transport, and thus offer more comfort to passengers. Their overhead wires mean visibility, which means certainty, safety and reliability to passengers; trolleybuses are less involved in road accidents. In comparison with trams, trolleybuses can reach similar passenger capacity at much lower construction cost (up to 80% lower). Realisation requires less time, is safer and produces fewer nuisances during construction. Trolleybus systems have much shorter and less complex planning, decision periods and processes than tram networks (up to ten times shorter for realisation and construction). In summary, trolleybuses offer a huge, but not fully used potential for making transport in CE cities safe, attractive and sustainable. TROLLEY aims at unlocking this potential and promoting also Central European cities as forerunners in the field of electric mobility.
METHOD FOR DETERMINING A SYNCHRONISATION POINT IN A GEARBOX

The invention relates to a method for determining a synchronisation point in a gearbox (14), in particular an automatic gearbox, whereby said gearbox (14) has at least one actuator (17), e.g. an electromechanical actuator, for shifting the gears. To determine the synchronisation point in a simple, precise and reliable manner, at least one operation-specific parameter of the actuator (17), e.g. the increase in the actuation force per distance-unit travelled in the actuator, is detected and at least one synchronisation point of the gearbox (14) is determined from the detected values of the operation-specific parameter of the actuator (17).
METHOD AND COMPOSITIONS FOR RHEOLOGY MODIFICATION OF AQUEOUS SOLUBLE SALT SOLUTIONS

A method of making a rheology modified aqueous salt solution includes adding thereto, a non-hydratable clay, as defined, and at least one compound capable of contributing, in solution, a divalent metal cation and a trivalent metal cation; and then adjusting the pH to a specific range. A dry composition comprising at least one compound capable of contributing the designated cations and, optionally, the non-hydratable clay is also disclosed. This invention is particularly applicable to drilling fluids, and more particulady to such fluids used in coastal and deepsea drillsites where the presence of salinity has been known to significantly reduce the effectiveness of clays as thickening agents.
Incipient plasticity of single-crystal tantalum as a function of temperature and orientation

The nanocontact plastic behaviour of single-crystalline Ta (1 0 0), Ta (1 1 0) and Ta (1 1 1) was studied as a function of temperature and indentation rate. Tantalum, a representative body centred cubic (BCC) metal, reveals a unique deformation behaviour dominated by twinning and the generation of stacking faults. Experiments performed at room temperature exhibit a single pop-in event, while at 200 °C, above the critical temperature, a transition to multiple pop-ins was observed. The experimental results are discussed with respect to the orientation as well as temperature and correlated to the defect structures using both anisotropic finite element and MD simulations. The serrated flow observed at 200 °C is related to differences in the quasi-elastic reloading originating from changes in the defect mechanism.
S3.4: Current Plans For A Retrieval System In Malaysia

With the regionalization of Pediatric and neonatal intensive care services it follows logically to develop a regional transport services. This will be developed in phases and would be in accordance with the development of Pediatric and neonatal Intensive care services. Training of the Pediatric intensivist and Neonatologist will be intensified to lead such teams In future each state will have a PICU and level 3 NICU and with that a regional transport team. This would need a specialized pediatric transport team where the personnel are adequately trained and equipped to provide critical care interventions in the out-of-hospital setting capable of continuing and intensifying goal-directed therapy for a wide range of critical conditions. They are mobile ICU teams, delivering state-of-the-art critical care in the transport environment and will need to fulfill stringent qualifications. A better outcome would be achieved with an early goal directed therapy approach in which pediatric transport team is an extension of the ICU setting. The scoop and run mentality which was practiced before will have to be abandoned in favour of the goal directed therapy which has been shown to improve survival by nine fold. Other aspects that will be looked into include proper ambulances which are well equipped, adequate monitoring, training of staff and maintenance of their skill, certification in relevant pediatric resuscitation course, BLS, NRP, PALS and APLS. In future transport course will be introduced. Safety issues and challenges of transport from remote areas and islands will be discussed. Audit and research will also be an important component.
Nation-wide flood risk assessment using inundation level model and MODIS time-series imagery

Real-time flood inundation mapping can be useful in emergency response efforts but is limited in capturing a wide area for assessment. In this paper, the authors suggest an improved extraction method of surface water with a simplified algorithm. The purpose of this study was to accurately estimate a flood area based on the spatial distribution of a nation-wide flood using a flood inundation level (FIL) model and a modified LSWI (MLSWI) from near real-time images from MODIS time series. This flood risk assessment study focused on reducing the susceptibility of nation-wide risk damage and improved the accuracy of extracting a vulnerable inundation area.
Simulation of bend-flow and pollutant diffusions with effects of streamline curvature

The purpose of this paper is to present a 2D depth-averaged model for simulating and examining flow patterns in channel bends. In particular, this paper proposes a 2D depth-averaged model that takes into account the influence of the secondary flow phenomenon through the calculation of the dispersion stresses arisen from the integration of the products of the discrepancy between the mean and the true velocity distributions. The k - ɛ turbulence model is used to compute turbulence stresses. As for the numerical solution procedure, the Finite Volume Method with the staggered grid and the SIMPLEC solution method are used to numerically solve the flow governing equations. Practical application of the model is illustrated by an example, and a fair agreement between the values measured and computed demonstrates the model's capabilities.

Graphene coated nanoparticles and nanograins

In a truly cross-disciplinary research project encompassing surface science, optics, nano-science, astrophysics and chemistry we will synthesize a novel family of high quality mono-layer graphene coated nanoparticles and graphene nanograins with new chemical and optical properties and investigate their catalytic activity, chemical stability and optical characteristics to gauge their relevance for and applicability in industrial catalysis, solar cells, and interstellar chemistry. 

This will be accomplished by extending existing expertise, knowledge and methods developed by us and by international colleagues for graphene synthesis, graphene reactivity and chemical functionalization, graphene coatings on industrially relevant samples and interstellar surface astrochemistry on carbonaceous materials, into the nanoparticle regime. Combined with state-of-the-art surface science characterization methods with emphasis on scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermal desorption mass spectrometry, complemented by Raman and transmission spectroscopy, this will enable us to design, characterize, and understand the properties of this new family of particles at the atomic level. 

The vision is to harness and combine the remarkable properties of graphene and nanoparticles to create systems with entirely new and unexplored characteristics, to tune these characteristics to be useful for real-world applications, and to exploit the new systems as the first realistic laboratory models of catalytic nanoparticles for interstellar surface chemistry.

This ambitious and cross-disciplinary research program will predominantly take place at the Surface Dynamics Laboratory at Aarhus University which is headed by the applicant, but will also involve local, national and international collaborators.
Single phase tin sulfide films prepared by one-bath electrodeposition

Single phase SnS films were potentiostatically electrodeposited on ITO-coated glass substrates in an aqueous solution containing 10 mM SnSO4 and 50 mM Na2S2O3 at a pH of 2.7 while varying the deposition potential, bath temperature, and stirring. Contrary to room temperature deposition, agitation using a magnetic stirrer in the electrodeposition process at 45 °C significantly promoted the deposition rate and enlarged the crystal size of the SnS compounds. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of the SnS films, which had nearly stoichiometric compositions, were characterized. All of the synthesized SnS films were determined to be p-type semiconductor material by photoelectrochemical testing under illumination. The thicker samples obtained with stirring exhibited an optical band gap of ~1.02 eV, which is almost identical to the theoretical value. The p–n junction heterostructures of the ITO/SnS/ZnO/In were fabricated and their rectifying behaviors were characterized under dark condition.

Upper bounds for the min–max and min–sum cost online problems in wireless ad hoc networks

A sequence of online messages for connections is given, each message is important and thide failure of delivering a message is a critical event. The maximum lifetime problem maximizes the total number of messages that can be successfully sent over the network. Given a $$h\ge 1$$ h ? 1 , this paper presents two new problems on ad hoc networks (called the min---max and min---sum cost online problems), which adjust the initial energies of nodes such that the network can send the first $$h$$ h messages. We consider the min---sum and min---max norms for minimizing the cost of adjusting the initial energies. This paper presents an algorithm for these problems and computes upper bounds for the total cost of the min---sum and min---max norms. Mohanoor et al. (Ad hoc Networks 7: 918---931, 2009) presented three algorithms (called SWRP, SFWP and SWCRP algorithms) to online energy aware routing, which, in practice, are better than other algorithms on lifetime in the cases: the effect of session length, transmission radius and node density. This paper modifies these algorithms (the modifies algorithms are called TSWRP, TSFWP and TSWCRP) so that they compute the total cost of the min---sum and min---max norms. Then, we show, in practice, the total cost of the min---sum and min---max norms computed by our algorithm are smaller than the values computed by the TSWRP, TSFWP and TSWCRP algorithms in the cases: the transmission radius and node density. Also, in practice, the lifetime of our algorithm is more than the lifetime of the SWRP, SFWP and SWCRP algorithms in the cases: the effect of session length and node density.
