A hőmérséklet és a bioszén típusának, valamint mennyiségének hatása a talaj nettó nitrifikációjára
Authors: Kása Ilona , Molnár Sándor , Horel Ágota
Published: November 2016

A vizsgálat célja különböző bioszeneknek a talaj nitrifikációs folyamataira gyakorolt hatásának tanulmányozása volt. Kísérleteink során eltérő mennyiségű és típusú bioszénnel kevert talajt különböző hőmérsékleten vizsgáltunk. Az eredményeink alapján a legnagyobb különbségeket a nitrifikációs potenciálban a hőmérséklet eredményezte. Az alacsony hőmérséklet gátolta vagy nagymértékben lelassította a nitrifikációs folyamatokat. 20 °C valamint 30 °C hőmérsékleten a nitrát képződés hasonlóan alakult, kiemelve a nyári időszakban történő minimális bioszén hatást a nitrifikáló mikroorganizmusokra. így elmondható, hogy tavaszi időszakban a bioszén hatása a nitrifikáló baktériumokra a legkiemelkedőbb, 10 és 20 °C között. Magas hőmérséklet (30 °C) esetében a nettó nitrifikációs potenciál akár háromszorosára is megnőtt a 20 °C-os hőmérséklethez képest. Ugyanakkor elmondható, hogy a magas hőmérséklet negatívan befolyásolta a talajban lévő mikrobiális közösséget, kiemelkedően a CT bioszén esetében. A különbségeket a nitrifikációs értékekben a különböző bioszén típusoknál és mennyiségeknél egyaránt megfigyeltük. 2% bioszén talajhoz adásával szignifikáns különbségeket találtunk a kontroll kezeléshez képest, viszont a nagyobb mennyiségű bioszén hozzáadás hatása már nem volt szignifikáns egymáshoz viszonyítva. A bioszén típusok közül a PY típusú bioszén eltérő mennyiségei mutatták a legkisebb változást a nitrát képződésben.

Authors: Imanto Philip Teguh
Published: November 2016

Keberhasilan pembenihan ikan sangat dipengaruhi keberhasilan produksi jasad pakan rotifer secara tepat dan efisien. Penelitian kultur rotifer dengan tangki volume kecil bertujuan untuk mendapatkan efisiensi produksi yang paling optimal dan memenuhi prinsip dasar akuakultur low volume high density. Penelitian menggunakan tangki polyethylene dengan volume 500 L dan volume media awal 100 L, padat tebar awal 200 ind. rotifer per mL dengan sediaan pakan dasar fitoplankton Nannocloropsis occulata, ragi roti (0,05 g/mio.rot./feeding) dan suplemen Scott emulsion (0,005 g/mio.rot./feeding). Penelitian dilakukan secara bertahap; tahap pertama (I) tanpa penambahan air laut, peningkatan volume hanya dari penambahan 15 L Nannochloropsis tiap hari sampai hari kelima, tahap kedua (II) dengan penambahan alga 40 L dan air laut 40 L; serta tahap ketiga (III) dengan menggandakan pemberian ragi roti. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada percobaan tahap I: total produksi rata-rata 122,37 x 106 ind. rotifer, pada tahap II: 97,67 x 106 ind. rotifer, dan pada tahap III: dicapai rata-rata total produksi tertinggi dengan 187,17 x 106 ind. rotifer per tanki kultur 500 L. Pengelolaan kultur pada tahap III memberikan hasil terbaik dengan simpangan terkecil antar tangki kultur ulangan, dan membuktikan sebagai pengelolaan terbaik untuk kultur rotifer dengan tangki volume kecil. Success of marine seed production is highly influenced by effective and efficient production performance of life food rotifer. Observation on rotifer culture using small volume tank was aimed to get the optimum production and efficiency, to fulfill the basic principle of aquaculture “low volume high density”. Polyethylene tanks of 500 L. were used as culture container, with initial 100 liter sea water as culture medium and initial density of 200 ind. rotifer per mL. N. occulata, baker yeast (0.05 g/mio.rotifer/feeding) and Scott emulsion (0.005 g/mio.rotifer/feeding) were used as basic feed, and applied differently among three trials. First trial without seawater addition, increasing volume of culture media was only from 15 L. of N. occulata within 5 days culture, second trial was done with addition of seawater of 40 L and 40 L of N. occulata every day; and the last trial with twice dosage of baker yeast from trial I and II. The result showed that the average total production from the first trial was 122.37 x 106 ind. rotifer and the second trial was decreased to 97.67 x 106 ind. rotifer. Highest average total production was achieved by the last trial with 187.17 x 106 ind. rotifer per culture tank 500 L. Culture management on the third trial gave the best result with the lowest deviation among replication tanks, and proved as the best management practice for small-scale culture container.

Published: December 2016

Surface-modifying additives (SMAs), which may be readily blended into silicones to improve antifouling behaviour, must have an excellent surface migration potential and must not leach into an aqueous environment. This work evaluated the efficacy of a series of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based SMA amphiphiles which varied in terms of cross-linkability, siloxane tether length (m) and diblock against triblock architectures. Specifically, cross-linkable, diblock PEO–silane amphiphiles with two oligodimethylsiloxane (ODMS) tether lengths ((EtO)3Si–(CH2)3–ODMS m –PEO8, EtO = ethylene oxide, m = 13 and 30) were compared to analogous non-cross-linkable, diblock (H–Si–ODMS m –PEO8) and triblock (PEO8–ODMS m –PEO8) SMAs. Prior to water conditioning, while all modified silicone coatings exhibited a high degree of water-driven surface restructuring, that prepared with the non-cross-linkable diblock SMA (m = 13) was the most hydrophilic. After conditioning, all modified silicone coatings were similarly hydrophilic and remained highly protein resistant, with the exception of PEO8–ODMS30–PEO8. Notably, despite twice the PEO content, triblock SMAs were not superior to diblock SMAs. For diblock SMAs, it was shown that water uptake and leaching were also similar whether or not the SMA was cross-linkable.

Previous studies have suggested the benefits of physical exercise for patients on dialysis. We conducted the Exercise Introduction to Enhance Performance in Dialysis trial, a 6-month randomized, multicenter trial to test whether a simple, personalized walking exercise program at home, managed by dialysis staff, improves functional status in adult patients on dialysis. The main study outcomes included change in physical performance at 6 months, assessed by the 6-minute walking test and the five times sit-to-stand test, and in quality of life, assessed by the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF) questionnaire. We randomized 296 patients to normal physical activity (control; n=145) or walking exercise (n=151); 227 patients (exercise n=104; control n=123) repeated the 6-month evaluations. The distance covered during the 6-minute walking test improved in the exercise group (mean distance±SD: baseline, 328±96 m; 6 months, 367±113 m) but not in the control group (baseline, 321±107 m; 6 months, 324±116 m; P<0.001 between groups). Similarly, the five times sit-to-stand test time improved in the exercise group (mean time±SD: baseline, 20.5±6.0 seconds; 6 months, 18.2±5.7 seconds) but not in the control group (baseline, 20.9±5.8 seconds; 6 months, 20.2±6.4 seconds; P=0.001 between groups). The cognitive function score (P=0.04) and quality of social interaction score (P=0.01) in the kidney disease component of the KDQOL-SF improved significantly in the exercise arm compared with the control arm. Hence, a simple, personalized, home-based, low-intensity exercise program managed by dialysis staff may improve physical performance and quality of life in patients on dialysis.

Abstract.Research shows the relationship between having children with neurodevelopmental disorders and family stress. The Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD has its own symptoms and a number of additional problems that give it a distinctive profile. These differences are reflected in the levels of stress shown by caregivers of children with the disorder. Coping is a reaction to behavioral and / or psychological stress, aimed at reducing the destructive stress attributes. Theories of stress and coping, as well as more specific models of family accommodation show how coping strategies have an important role in the outcome of adaptation. Consequently, depending on the type of coping strategies used by parents, the stress index will change. This study examines the relationship between family stress and coping strategies in parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.Keywords: Autism Spectrum Disorder, caregivers, stress and coping.Resumen.STRESS AND COPING IN FAMILIES OF CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERDiversas investigaciones muestran la relación existente entre tener hijos con Trastornos del neurodesarrollo y el estrés familiar. El Trastorno del Espectro Autista o TEA tiene una sintomatología y una serie de problemas añadidos que le confieren un perfil característico que lo diferencia y aleja de otros trastornos similares. Estas diferencias se ponen de manifiesto en los niveles de estrés presentes en los cuidadores de niños con dicho trastorno. El afrontamiento es una reacción al estrés de tipo conductual y/o psicológico dirigido a reducir las cualidades destructivas del estrés. Las teorías de estrés y afrontamiento, así como los modelos más específicos de adaptación familiar muestran cómo las estrategias de afrontamiento tienen un importante papel en el resultado de adaptación. Así pues dependiendo del tipo de estrategias de afrontamiento utilizadas por los padres, el índice de estrés variará.

THE IMPACT OF VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN ON THE CONSUMPTION CULTURE, FROM PAST TO PRESENT
Authors: Karaahmet Balcı Selma
Published: November 2016

Visual communication design as an interdisciplinary term makes a reference to many disciplines which have focused on communication and presentation point to transmit the messages, prepared as visuals, to target the audience. Especially after the industrial revolution, the visual communication design phenomenon, which in its existence is an influential field in creating consumer-wise shoppers and the visuals are increasing their power with mass communication. Visual communication design as a sustainable phenomenon with more powerful interaction zone, which has been differed from within the several unstable paradigm axis, from Bauhaus to present, maintains its existence by including the aesthetic concerns in designs. Consumption culture has been created by dwelling on the individuals’ consumption perceptions. In post-industrial societies, people aim to satisfy the needs of their egos, by getting a hedonic benefit, rather than their material needs by means of the products they have purchased. At this point, visual communication design as a field, being at the middle of capitalism and consumption culture, it has been an inter-bedded phenomenon with consumption in all ages.

Authors: Burceva Rita , Koycheva Tsvetomira , Gecheva Katia
Published: November 2016

The objective of the research is to describe the popularisation experience of documentary heritage at the department of the particular archive in Bulgaria, emphasizing the specific aspects of this practice in order to formulate recommendations for similar activities in Latvia. The methods used in the research: analysis of some individual aspects of popularisation of the documentary heritage based on the normative enactments governing the activity of archives in Bulgaria, case analysis. Popularisation of documents is the body of communication events, which are used to cover a wide circle of persons and institutions. It is directly connected to the social, political, cultural life in the country and region and it is aimed at the reflection of upbringing, educating, cultural, and science matters. Each department of the archive plans and implements the popularisation events of the documentary heritage separately from one another or in cooperation with museums, creative associations, scientific institutions and education establishments, other governmental and public institutions, the mass media, etc. They are initiated in order to introduce or remind the public of any significant events, processes, persons. There are varied forms of exhibition offerings: mobile and stationary, permanent and temporary, taking place in the premises of the archive and in the specifically adopted environment outside of it (in other institutions or outdoors), including in the electronic form. The archive of Gabrovo has substantial experience of work with the student group excursions from the city and the nearby neighbourhood, which require special preparation and ability to communicate with the youth, using understandable and acceptable to them materials and visual aids. Main conclusions: Despite being dully planned, in most cases under the situation of limited resources the popularisation events of the documentary heritage are based on the personal initiative, experience in building contacts and the ability to find some possibilities for improvement of this work through purposeful customer-oriented communication of the employees of the Archive of Gabrovo. It is important to use the personal connections and unforeseen events creatively in the work with the current and potential creators. In the public space the Archive Department of Gabrovo positions itself as an open institution that is ready to cooperate with all organisations and individuals interested for comprehensive and quality satisfaction of all public needs at all levels.

Published: November 2016

Maritime passenger transport is an important form of passenger transport, both for business and pleasure, but is often neglected in scientific literature. The main goal of this paper is to emphasize the importance of maritime passenger transport in Europe. In order to identify its main features and actors, i.e. the leading European countries and ports in the maritime passenger transport, separately for cruise and non-cruise transport, a quantitative analysis was carried out based on the data gathered from Eurostat and CLIA Europe. It was concluded that the features of maritime passenger transport in two main European regions, the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, differ significantly. Therefore, the final analysis of maritime passenger transport in Europe was conducted for each region separately.
Plovidbeni prekršaji kroz povijest
Authors:   Filozofski fakultet u Osijeku, Odsjek za povijest, Đukić Zlatko
Published: November 2016

Rad opisuje prekršaje vezane uz pomorski trgovački pothvat. Da plovidba morem nije bila bezazlena i idealna svjedoče nam i odredbe koje su regulirale pomorski trgovački pothvat. Zakonodavac je razlikovao prekršaje prema brodu, trgovačkoj robi i dragocjenostima. Kako se često radilo i o vrlo vrijednim predmetima, znalo je doći i do krađe novca i drugih dragocjenosti, kao i do otuđenja brodske opreme i trgovačke robe. Isto tako, budući da je plovidba trajala dulje vrijeme, javljaju se konflikti između samih članova brodske posade ili putnika, kao i gusara. U svakodnevnom životu često se događaju slične situacije, što je razlog da zakonodavac predviđa brojne sankcije za pretrpljenu štetu. S jedne strane, kako bi unaprijed prevenirao te eventualno spriječio i odvratio počinitelje prekršaja i kaznenih djela, a s druge strane, kako bi lakše riješio problem kada se već ostvari protupravni čin. Najstariji zakonici starog vijeka, poput Bilalame ili Hamurabija, te rimsko pravo sadrže odredbe koje reguliraju prekršaje vezane uz pomorski trgovački pothvat. Isto predviđa i Rodski pomorski zakonik, kao i naši srednjovjekovni komunalni statuti, poput Statuta grada Dubrovnika, Zadarskog statuta, Statuta grada Splita i Hvarskog statuta.

New treatments are needed urgently for advanced cancer of the breast, in which the most common subtype is hormone receptorpositive breast cancer. In the randomised, double-blind, multicentre phase III trial, Fulvestrant and AnastrozoLe COmpared in hormonal therapy Naïve advanced breast cancer (FALCON), a statistically significant 21% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death was reported in women with hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer who had been treated with fulvestrant compared with those who had received anastrozole. Women in this study had not received prior hormone therapy. Access to the treatment and the mechanisms for funding need to be facilitated in a timely fashion. Ongoing studies are awaited to help define the optimal sequence of therapy for women with hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer.

Polycythaemia vera (PV) is an uncommon chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm characterised by increased red-cell mass. The condition is currently managed by phlebotomy and/or palliative cytoreductive therapy, most commonly using hydroxyurea (HU). However, around 25% of patients have an inadequate response and/or unacceptable adverse effects; furthermore, patients with resistance to HU appear to have shorter survival than other patients with PV. Recently, a second-line treatment has become available. Ruxolitinib, an oral inhibitor of the Janus kinase (JAK) 1 and JAK 2 tyrosine kinases, has recently received regulatory approval for the treatment of patients with PV who are resistant to or intolerant of HU. This treatment offers the potential to significantly reduce phlebotomy requirements and improve the symptom burden. However, in order to determine which patients will benefit most from ruxolitinib, it is necessary to identify those who are inadequate responders to HU, a definition that is not currently consensual in the literature. Five patient groups, for whom ruxolitinib may be a beneficial second-line treatment option, have been proposed. These comprise patients who are at high risk and retain a high symptom burden after HU, require frequent phlebotomy, have an elevated leukocyte count, are intolerant to HU or interferon, or have palpable splenomegaly.
Inteligência emocional e engagement em professores do ensino básico e secundário da Ilha da Madeira || Emotional intelligence and engagement in teachers of basic and secondary education of Madeira Island

Published: December 2016

O construto de inteligência emocional tem sido estudado em várias áreas do desenvolvimento humano, nomeadamente na área da saúde organizacional. No entanto, está ainda muito pouco estudada a sua relação com o engagement, e menos ainda com a saúde dos Professores. O engagement é considerado saudável para o desempenho dos professores e o seu bem-estar, beneficiando não somente o indivíduo, mas também, as organizações para onde trabalha. Este estudo teve precisamente como objetivo compreender a relação entre a inteligência emocional e o engagement. A amostra foi constituída por 250 professores do 2º ciclo (5.º e 6.º ano) (26.4%), 3º ciclo (7.º, 8.º e 9.º ano) (57.2%) e Secundário (10.º, 11.º e 12.º ano) (16.4 %), do género feminino (70.4%) e do masculino (29.6%), da Região Autónoma da Madeira (RAM), Portugal. Utilizámos como instrumentos, o Trait Meta-Mood Scale, o Questionário de Expressividade e o de Regulação Emocional de Berkeley e o Utrech Work Engagement Scale. Nos nossos resultados encontramos que quanto maior a atenção às emoções, clareza de sentimentos e reparação do estado emocional, maior é o vigor, dedicação e a absorção. A idade e o tempo de serviço não se mostraram relevantes para a explicação da relação entre os construtos. Concluiu-se que os professores que conseguem regular as suas emoções envolvem-se mais no trabalho e utilizam todas as suas capacidades físicas, cognitivas e emocionais, enquanto desempenham as suas funções, ultrapassando os obstáculos que se lhes interpõem.

El libro Calidad de vida y bienestar en la vejez se centra en el bienestar psicológico y la calidad de vida de las personas mayores. El fenómeno del envejecimiento plantea a la sociedad actual demandas relativas a la mejora de la calidad de vida del mayor. El bienestar psicológico constituye un reto importante para poder sentirse vivo y auténtico. Así, Freire y Ferradás analizan las dimensiones del bienestar psicológico, destacando el importante papel que éstas desempeñan en la consecución de una mejor adaptación a esta etapa de la vida. Por último, se analiza la figura del cuidador familiar como principal fuente de ayuda para la persona mayor en situación de dependencia.

Como continuación del estudio donde se presentó la Escala de Apoyo Parental Online (EAPO), como parte de la evaluación del programa “Educar en Positivo” (http://educarenpositivo.es), el presente estudio describe la validación de una nueva escala para evaluar los principios de la parentalidad positiva en usuarios de programas presenciales y online. Para la validación de la Escala de Parentalidad Positiva (EPP) se contó con 323 padres y madres españoles y latinoamericanos, registrados en dicho programa. Para obtener la estructura factorial de la escala, se utilizó el modelo de ecuaciones estructurales exploratorio (MESE) con rotación Oblimin y para su confirmación el método de estimación de ponderación de mínimos cuadrados ajustados por la media y varianza (WLSMW). Se realizó también una prueba de la validez discriminante de la escala por medio del análisis del área bajo la curva ROC (ABC) y su comprobación mediante un análisis multivariado de covarianza (MANCOVA). Los resultados muestran una factorización óptima en el modelo de cuatro factores: Implicación familiar, Afecto y reconocimiento, Comunicación y control del estrés y Actividades compartidas con una fiabilidad adecuada. Asimismo, se demostró la capacidad discriminativa de la escala en función del perfil de experiencia y uso educativo de Internet, una vez controlada la posible influencia del nivel educativo de los participantes. La escala muestra unas propiedades psicométricas adecuadas y su contenido recoge los aspectos clave del ejercicio de la parentalidad positiva, lo que resulta muy útil para evaluar la efectividad de los programas basados en dicho enfoque.

The main aim of this research is to analyse the effects of a Voice Recognition System (VRS) used for improving phonological awareness and reading skills of preschool children. A quasi-experimental pre/post-test design with non-equivalent control group was used in third year of preschool education. The pupils (n=18) were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. The experimental group received seven training sessions on the use of VRS. The pre/post-test evaluation of phonological awareness and reading skills was carried out by LolEva, a test in a software format (Peralbo et al., 2015). Our results show a significant improvement in the experimental group in connection with phonemic and syllabic awareness. Improvements were also observed, although not statistically significant, in reading skills.
The Deficit View and Its Critics
Authors: Dinishak Janette
Published: December 2016

This paper investigates what it is to understand human differences in terms of deficits and examines criticisms of this approach. In the past few decades, across many fields of inquiry and outside the academy there has been a surge of interest in critiquing "the deficit view" of all manner of group differences and deviations from the norm.  But what exactly is meant by "deficit view" and related terms when they figure in accounts of human differences?  Do critics of the deficit view claim that they are never appropriate or that particular applications of the approach are inappropriate?  The aim of this paper is twofold: to identify and articulate some of the conceptual issues at the heart of debates about deficit approaches and to examine how these issues matter. Autism is my focus case. As we will see, many critiques of the deficit view of autism tend to characterize what is problematic about taking a deficit view in terms of the personal and social harm that deficit views can or do effect.  One important upshot of my discussion, I argue, is that there is another kind of drawback to deficit thinking that is independent of the deficit view's potential negative personal and social consequences, a drawback that deserves serious consideration and sustained critical attention: in some instances, at least, deficit views impede scientific and philosophical progress in our understanding of the phenomena themselves.  Thus, articulating and assessing deficit approaches is of practical and theoretical importance.
Re-visioning Negative Archetypes of Disability and Deformity in Fantasy: Wicked, Maleficent, and Game of Thrones
Authors: Donnelly Colleen Elaine
Published: December 2016

Fantasy and horror often exploit disabled people, presenting them as embodiments of terror and evil.  In contemporary fantasy, we sometimes see archetypically evil characters redefined primarily by the telling of their backstories to provide rationale for their behavior and to evoke sympathy or pity from the audience. Pity often places the viewer in the position to seem benevolent while masking the ways that disabled people are often treated as inferior, different, and are isolated from the rest of society.  In Wicked, Maleficent, and Game of Thrones, we are asked to confront the judgments and behaviors in which spectators and society engage.  Instead of reaffirming the views and values of society, these works question and denounce our consumption of the stereotypes we have learned and our often unexamined behaviors towards those who are often treated as "others."
Viral Transmissions: Safer Sex Videos, Disability, and Queer Politics
Authors: Butler-Wall Karisa
Published: December 2016

Bringing disability studies into conversation with queer histories of AIDS activism, this article examines the relationship between disability and queer politics in safer sex videos created by AIDS activists in the 1980s. As a form of what the author terms "guerrilla biopolitics," safer sex videos insisted on the viability of queer life and sexual expression at a historical moment of intense homophobia and sex negativity. At the same time, the vision of sexual health and identity they offered risked reproducing racialized and classed ideologies of ableism. Seeking to "crip" our understandings of safer sex discourses and practices, this study explores how risk reduction techniques have been historically linked to imperatives of compulsory able-bodiedness, precluding alternative expressions of queer/crip life.

Lewis Clarke and the "Color" of Disability: The Past and Future of Black Disability Studies
Authors: Franzino Jean
Published: December 2016

This article analyzes Lewis Clarke's 1845 slave narrative, the Narrative of the Sufferings of Lewis Clarke, for what it can offer contemporary theorizing at the intersection of disability and race. Clarke's text, I suggest, "crips" the genre of the slave narrative, replacing abolitionist spectacle with the knowledge gained from a number of temporary or otherwise ambiguous disability positions. In doing so, Clarke's Narrative both expands the parameters of disability as often conceived within disability studies and offers a reconfiguration of the meaning of disability for critical race studies.

Published: December 2016

Com o objetivo de avaliar a adequação dos medidores bidirecionais nos sistemas de Geração Distribuída (GD), este trabalho apresenta a análise de erros de medição de energia elétrica, envolvendo vários fabricantes e modelos de medidores eletrônicos bidirecionais monofásicos, bifásicos e trifásicos, considerando-se cenários de fluxos bidirecionais de energia em baixa tensão, os quais refletem a qualidade de energia de diversas plantas com instalações de GD fotovoltaica e eólica. Os ensaios foram realizados por meio de uma montagem experimental específica, envolvendo um sistema automatizado de operação, com equipamentos de elevada exatidão, considerados como padrão de medição. Realizando-se três repetições, os testes determinaram os erros de medição de energia ativa e reativa para cada modelo de medidor ensaiado. Desenvolvido para a concessionária Elektro Eletricidade e Serviços S.A., os resultados foram agregados em um aplicativo para análise e avaliação de medidores de energia elétrica instalados em pontos de conexão de microgeração distribuída. Paralelamente, com o intuito de estudar as consequências do sistema, instalações de GD implantadas na área de concessão da Elektro são apresentadas de forma sumária nesse trabalho.
Inversores Comutados pela Rede Associados a um Autotransformador Multipulsos para a Geração Fotovoltaica
Authors: Brighenti Lucas Lapolli , Batschauer Alessandro Luiz , Mezaroba Marcello
Published: December 2016

Conversores não isolados aplicados a sistemas fotovoltaicos normalmente possuem algumas vantagens em relação aos conversores isolados como redução de custos e melhor eficiência devido, principalmente, à ausência de um transformador. Neste contexto, uma alternativa para o processamento da energia obtida pelos painéis fotovoltaicos é o uso de um autotransformador multipulsos associado a retificadores controlados com ângulo de disparo entre 90°-180° (inversores comutados pela rede). Esta solução possui algumas vantagens como robustez, baixa manutenção, alta confiabilidade e baixo custo, além de ser muito adequada para geração fotovoltaica em locais remotos onde estas vantagens são mais importantes que a redução de volume. Outra importante característica é que a associação dos enrolamentos do autotransformador gera sistemas trifásicos defasados entre si, reduzindo a quantidade do conteúdo harmônico das correntes injetadas na rede. Este artigo apresenta um conversor de 18 pulsos usando um autotransformador com conexão Y diferencial fechada. A potência processada pelo autotransformador é apenas 21,9% da potência total fornecida ao sistema, aumentando a eficiência e reduzindo o custo total.

Este artigo apresenta um sistema para conexão de turbinas eólicas de pequeno porte à rede elétrica, o qual controla a corrente injetada na rede e rastreia a máxima potência elétrica do gerador. O sistema proposto é composto por uma ponte retificadora trifásica do tipo Ponte de Graetz, um conversor CC-CC tipo Forward, que proporciona isolação, controle e ganho, e um inversor Full-Bridge, que comuta em baixa frequência, com intuito de inverter a corrente do conversor CC-CC e injetá-la na rede elétrica. A solução proposta é baseada em simplicidade, baixo custo, volume reduzido e robustez. O texto apresenta a análise da topologia, princípio de operação, modelos dinâmicos, estrutura de controle e resultados experimentais para um aerogerador de 1 kW conectado à rede elétrica (220 V/60 Hz).

Published: December 2016

Este trabalho apresenta o cálculo dos esforços de corrente nos semicondutores do inversor fonte Z trifásico operando com a modulação Boost Simples. O inversor fonte Z possui uma malha de impedância conhecida como malha Z, que possibilita realizar as funções CC-CC elevador e CC-CA em um único estágio. Por possuir essa característica, este conversor se torna uma opção interessante em aplicações com células fotovoltaicas. Serão apresentadas as etapas de operação e as equações que regem o funcionamento do inversor operando com a modulação Boost Simples para que se possa entender o desenvolvimento do equacionamento dos valores médio e eficaz nos semicondutores. A etapa Boost é definida por uma nova etapa conhecida como shoot-through, em que os semicondutores do mesmo braço conduzem simultaneamente. Esta característica altera profundamente o comportamento das correntes, exigindo um cálculo complexo dos esforços. Para validar os cálculos, os resultados teóricos são comparados com os resultados obtidos na simulação, assim como os dados experimentais.
