EVOLUÇÃO METAMÓRFICA DAS ROCHAS GRANULÍTICAS DO POVOADO DE PEDRÃO, BLOCO JEQUIÉ, CRÁTON DO SÃO FRANCISCO, CENTRO-LESTE DO ESTADO DA BAHIA, BRASIL

Os granulitos estudados estão inseridos no Cráton do São Francisco, mais especificamente no Bloco Jequié, de idade Arqueana. Foram identificados três litotipos: granulitos augen-charnoenderbítico-charnockíticos, granulitos heterogêneos paraderivados e granulitos heterogêneos ortoderivados, sendo estes últimos o alvo principal do presente estudo, juntamente com enclaves máficos associados a essas rochas. Petrograficamente os granulitos ortoderivados são constituídos por plagioclásio, quartzo, mesopertita, piroxênios, anfibólio, biotita, mimerquita, apatita, minerais opacos e zircão. Os enclaves máficos são compostos por anfibólio, clino e ortopiroxênio, biotita, feldspatos, quartzo e minerais opacos. Os ortopiroxênios foram classificados como ferrossilita, enstatita e na transição ferrossilita/enstatita, os clinopiroxênios como augita e diopsídio (apenas nos enclaves e contato). Os cristais de plagioclásio são de composições andesina, exceto para os enclaves que foram classificados como labradorita/andesina. Os cristais de anfibólio são cálcicos e situam-se no campo da edenita (enclaves e contato) e os de biotita classificados como eastonita. A presença de ortopiroxênio, clinopiroxênio e mesopertita marcam temperaturas do pico do metamorfismo granulítico. Os cristais de anfibólio e biotita, associados às bordas dos piroxênios caracterizam o metamorfismo regressivo, durante o processo de soerguimento orogenético do Bloco Jequié, embora ocorram cristais de anfibólio e biotita (com altos valores de TiO2) no metamorfismo progressivo granulítico.
The Cuban Public Registry of Clinical Trials: primary registry of World Health Organization.

Despite the importance of randomized trials for well-informed decisions in health care, a large proportion of the results of these trials are not published, especially when they are negative. Publication bias has a negative impact in the treatment of patients, due to the distorted impression it leads to for new therapies. Clinical Trial Registries help to overcome this by providing transparency in the process of conducting research. The World Health Organization takes the position that the registration of interventional trials is a scientific, ethical and moral responsibility. Taking account of this global movement, the National Coordinating Centre of Clinical Trials and the Cuban Health Network, designed and implemented the Cuban Public Registry of Clinical Trials. The Registry was established in June 2007 and is intended for public service in Cuban territory, although it is open to registrants and patients outside Cuba. The Registry staff developed a strategy to become a Primary Registry of the World Health Organization, and this was achieved in February 2011.

A relação entre História e Sociologia no horizonte da conceitualização e da explicação dos objetos históricos: reflexões sobre o pensamento de Max Weber * The relationship between History and Sociology over the horizon of conceptualization...

&lt;p class="Default"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resumo&lt;/strong&gt;: Este artigo procura refletir sobre as relações entre a disciplina da história e a sociologia a partir do pensamento de Max Weber. Procuramos mostrar como a sociologia exerce uma participação fundamental na constituição do conhecimento histórico com relação a dois procedimentos específicos: a caracterização adequada das entidades históricas individuais, por um lado, e a lógica explicativa que preside a narrativa histórica, por outro. Veremos como Weber, então, introduz a sociologia como uma forma de resolver o intricado problema da interpenetração entre o geral e o particular na representação e na explicação dos objetos históricos, de modo a esclarecer os vínculos formais e metodológicos entre as duas disciplinas assim entendidas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="Default"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Palavras-chave&lt;/strong&gt;: História; Sociologia; realidade empírica; tipos ideais.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="Default"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="Default"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abstract&lt;/strong&gt;: This paper discuss the relationship between the discipline of history and sociology from the thought of Max Weber. We intend to show how sociology plays a key role in the constitution of historical knowledge regarding two specific procedures: the appropriate characterization of individual historical entities, on the one hand, and the explanatory logic of the historical narrative, on the other. We will see how Weber then introduces sociology as a way to solve the intricate problem of interpenetration between the general and the particular in the representation and explanation of historical objects, in order to clarify the formal and methodological links between the two disciplines well understood.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="Default"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keywords&lt;/strong&gt;: History; Sociology; empirical reality; ideal types.&lt;/p&gt;
Motion control system based on real-time ethernet

A real-time Ethernet named EtherMAC( Ethernet for Manufacture Automation Control) was developped for open computer numerical control system. A standard industrial personal computer( IPC) based master node and field programmable gate array( FPGA) based slave nodes were employed in EtherMAC,as neither dedicated network interface card( NIC) nor application specific integrated circuit( ASIC) chips were mandatory,the system was open in hardware architecture. The computation ability of IPC and hard real-time property of FPGA were combined together with Ethernet in this way. By adopting the first slave node to manage the communication and distributed clock,time critical performance could be achieved even the master node only with soft real-time performance. Experimental results showed that communication period less than 1 ms and synchronization precision within 100 ns could be achieved by EtherMAC,which were enough for motion control systems demanded critical real-time and synchronization.
Stochastic Control Methods: Hedging in a Market Described by Pure Jump Processes

This paper considers the asset price movements in a financial market with a risky asset and a bond. The dynamics of the risky asset, modeled by a marked point process, depend on a stochastic factor, modeled also by a marked point process. The possibility of common jump times with the price is allowed. The problem studied is to determine a strategy maximizing the expected value of a utility function of the hedging error. Two different approaches are considered: an Hamilton Jacobi Bellmann equation is studied for a simplified model and a contraction technique is introduced for a more general model.
Improving ipr management services to smes engaging in peer learning activities

Within the INPRO project, the involved partners wants to peer review IPR support programmes for SMEs in order to improve their knowledge and attitude towards this important topic as well as to transfer good practices into regional/national programmes.
Using the Twinning Advanced methodology, the Design Options Paper (DOP) on IPR services to SMEs will be elaborated in order to be at disposal for other innovation agencies to design and/or deliver similar IPR services.
Professional experts with extensive knowledge and experience on IPR and on creative moderation methodologies will be subcontracted to moderate the two peer learning workshops in order to achieve the highest quality results. The peer learning group will be composed by 12 persons from the 3 Regions/Country involved (Friuli Venezia Giulia region – Italy; Spain; Slovenia). The aim of the working group will be to strengthen the IPR support services and programme design through the application of the Twinning+ methodology. 
The INPRO project will facilitate the knowledge exchange among the participants on the following matters:
•	Provision of the IPR support services to SMEs on the involved territories and focus on the major experienced difficulties;
•	Identification of “good practices” applied by the partners and “good practices” available at EU level to be transferred in the involved territory;
•	Improvement of IPR support services to SMEs;
•	Enhancement of qualitative procedures in IPR auditing;
•	Improvement of the administrative aspects in the IPR management both at SME level and PA level.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will be undersigned by the partners at the end of the project with the aim to engage in more frequent peer learning activities. The MoU should be a first step of an EU based network of partners aiming to foster, enforce and further develop IPR services to SMEs.

Effect of improving representation of horizontal and vertical cloud structure on the Earth's global radiation budget. Part II: The global effects

Reliably representing both horizontal cloud inhomogeneity and vertical cloud overlap is fundamentally important for the radiationbudget of a general circulation model. Here, we build on the work of Part I of this two-part paper by applying a pair of parametrizations that account for horizontal inhomogeneity and vertical overlap to global re-analysis data. These are applied both together and separately in an attempt to quantify the effects of poor representation of the two components on radiation budget. Horizontalinhomogeneityisaccountedforusingthe‘Tripleclouds’scheme,which uses two regions of cloud in each layer of a gridbox as opposed to one; vertical overlapisaccounted for using‘exponential-random’overlap,whichalignsvertically continuous cloud according to a decorrelation height. These are applied to a sample of scenes from a year of ERA-40 data. The largest radiative effect of horizontal inhomogeneity is found to be in areas of marine stratocumulus; the effect of vertical overlap is found to be fairly uniform, but with larger individual short-wave and long-wave effects in areas of deep, tropical convection. The combined effect of the twoparametrizationsisfoundtoreducethemagnitudeofthenettop-of-atmosphere (TOA) cloud radiativeforcing by2.25Wm −2 ,withshiftsofupto10Wm −2 inareas of marine stratocumulus. The effects on radiation budget of the uncertainty in our parametrizations is also investigated. It is found that the uncertainty in the impact of horizontal inhomogeneity is of order ± 60%, while the uncertainty in the impact of vertical overlap is much smaller. This suggests an insensitivity of the radiation budget to the exact nature of the global decorrelation height distribution derived in Part I. Copyright c
French mediterranean support for innovative smes

MED4INNO Project proposal is an extension of the running MED2EUROPE Project financed under Competitiveness Innovation Program for Enterprise Europe Network activity. The project covers the whole of the French Mediterranean area with 3 regions: Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur, Languedoc-Roussillon and Corsica (NUTS-1 FR7).  The project will be carried out by 3 partners in the 2 major regions (PACA and LR) as Corsica cannot implement this Specific Action for 2014:
- Agence Régionale de l’Innovation et de l’Internationalisation des entreprises de la région PACA (ARII PACA) for Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur Region
- Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie de Région PACA (CCIR PACA) for Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur Region
- Transferts LR for Languedoc-Roussillon Region
The project aims at to put in place a reinforced SME Service Support, named Service Package, dedicating to support the growth of promising companies involved in innovative projects or benefiting SME Instrument grants.  33 Service Packages will be available during the project.
MED4INNO Project matches perfectly the work program defined by the European Commission concerning its support to SMEs. European SMEs have demonstrated for several years that they pull European growth and that they are the backbone in Europe for innovation, investment and job creation.  Unfortunately innovative SMEs are often too small or too young or less capitalized than any other companies to grow. The final impact of support service provided is similar to the objective of SME Instrument: to turn our SMEs with significant innovation activities into investors’ ready SMEs.
METHOD FOR HARMONIC SHEAR WAVE DETECTION WITH A LOW FRAME RATE ULTRASOUND SYSTEM

Systems and methods for harmonic shear wave detection using low frame rate ultrasound, or a three-dimensional (3D) volumetric scan, are provided. As one example, spurious motion sources, such as intrinsic tissue motion and waves that are not at the incident wave harmonic frequency, are removed based on a scanning sequence in which repeated acquisitions from a given subvolume occur closely in time so as to render effects of the spurious motions negligible. As another example, sampling frequency and center frequency are selected such that the spurious motion signal spectra do not overlap with aliased shear wave motion spectra, such that the spurious motions can be filtered.
SYSTEM FOR MOUNTING COMPONENTS ON CIRCUIT BOARDS.

Un appareil d'installation de composants de la dernière finesse sur des plaquettes de circuits imprimés comprend un étage de saisie des composants où une tête de saisie (13) saisit un composant dans une zone de saisie de composants, un deuxième étage qui comprend le cas échéant une caméra d'inspection vidéo (154) qui examine le composant afin de vérifier s'il peut être positionné, et un étage de positionnement avec une tête de positionnement (20) qui sert à installer le composant sur une plaquette de circuits imprimés. Les trois étages fonctionnent de manière concomitante. L'étage de positionnement comprend un mécanisme (202) de transport et de serrage des plaquettes à largeur ajustable mobile le long d'un axe horizontal longitudinal et une tête de positionnement montée sur un arbre creux latéralement et horizontalement mobile le long d'un chariot (21), de manière à déplacer la tête de positionnement verticalement et rotativement autour d'un axe vertical. La tête de positionnement transporte le composant par dessus une caméra (208) dirigée vers le haut, de manière à obtenir des informations de positionnement. Un support (12) sous-jacent de la plaquette mobile sous la tête de positionnement soutient la plaquette de circuits imprimés directement en-dessous de la position d'installation du composant. Un convoyeur (6) transporte des plaquettes à travers le système et des languettes (200) soulèvent les plaquettes jusqu'au mécanisme de transport et de serrage. D'autres plaquettes peuvent traverser le système, en passant sous la plaquette sur laquelle on installe les composants.
Educational Outcomes at Historically Black Colleges and Universities

This study assessed variability in Historically Black Colleges and Universities’ (HBCUs) educational outcomes. Analyses were conducted on two nationally representative databases via hierarchical linear and nonlinear modeling. Intraclass correlation coefficients for HBCUs were compared with those of (a) a random sample—theorized to have no systematic similarity in educational outcomes to HBCUs and (b) a sample of other Predominately Black Institutions (PBIs). Findings indicate that HBCUs’ educational outcomes were generally more cohesive than those of the random sample, and this cohesiveness followed a different pattern than the cohesiveness of outcomes at other PBIs. On the whole, then, this study suggests that educational outcomes at HBCUs are cohesive and distinct from other institutional groups.
High-Flux synchrotron alternatives driven by powerful long-wavelength fiber lasers

Lasers, and in particular ultrafast lasers, are an enabling technology for many applications, with the particularity that they can emit high-powers and are tabletop at the same time. These characteristics have made intense laser radiation widely available, which has decisively contributed to the advancement of many fields. However, the spectral coverage of lasers is limited and, thus, there are many applications that can only be addressed with other sources such as synchrotrons. Unfortunately, synchrotrons have two strong disadvantages: they are very large facilities with restricted user access and are extremely expensive. This is seriously hampering the widespread use of this radiation and, with it, the progress and development of many fields.   Since a direct (i.e. a laser-based), high-power emission of coherent light with a wavelength coverage comparable to that of a synchrotron is impossible, nonlinear frequency conversion driven by a high-power solid-state laser seems to be the most elegant solution to achieve a high photon flux in important spectral regions such as the mid-infrared, the THz- and the soft-X-ray range. Most remarkably, frequency conversion into these spectral regions would strongly benefit from a longer driving laser wavelength than the standard Titanium:Sapphire or Ytterbium-based near-infrared emission. On top of that, the shift of the emission to longer wavelengths can unleash a hidden performance scaling potential of ultrafast fiber lasers, as nonlinear and thermal limitations scale favorably.  The goals of the project SALT are twofold. First, it targets a revolution in the performance level of ultrafast lasers by unlocking the potential of Thulium-doped fiber lasers. Second, it aims at demonstrating new realms of flux in selected wavelength regions by frequency-converting these high-power 2µm sources. This will pave the way for frontier applications allowing for seminal discoveries and breakthroughs.
Valuation of local preferred uses and traditional ecological knowledge in relation to three multipurpose tree species in Benin (West Africa)

Abstract Afzelia africana Sm., Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir. and Khaya senegalensis (Desv.) A. Juss are multipurpose trees widely used in Africa, but endangered in their natural environments. Therefore, there is an urgent need to define and promote conservation strategies for these key species. In this study we analyzed the current patterns of their use preferences by means of a cultural importance index. Local ecological knowledge on their conservation was investigated among local people living around Pendjari Biosphere Reserve in Benin. In total, 160 informants belonging to four ethnic groups (Gourmantche, Waama, Berba and Peulh) were interviewed in twelve villages. Male and female informants, aged between 20 and 90 years, were randomly selected in each ethnic group. For each species, a cultural importance index was calculated combining frequency and importance of use. This index allowed us to identify differences in use intensity within and among ethnic groups. Traditional ecological knowledge was tested as a dependent variable of ethnicity. A. africana was widely used as medicine, fodder and crafting by most communities, whereas P. erinaceus was the preferred source of fodder for all local people. K. senegalensis was mostly used as medicine and fuel wood by most communities, except by the Peulh who preferably used it as fodder. The use of these trees as source of fuel wood was mostly reported by women while religious uses of these species were reported by old men from the Gourmantche ethnicity. Medicinal and fodder use of A. africana, fodder use of P. erinaceus and medicinal use of K. senegalensis had the highest overall cultural importance index value. Knowledge related to local extinction of the target species and their sustainable use varied among socio-cultural groups. The findings of the present study should be considered in future management plans towards an effective conservation of these tree species.
