Published: January 2019

O sistema de instrumentação de uma barragem deve ser capaz de detectar variações nas leituras ao longo do ciclo de vida da mesma como resultado do envelhecimento e das alterações ambientais. O estudo de como ocorre a interação entre as leituras dos diferentes instrumentos e como as variáveis ambientais inter ferem nas mesmas pode ser de grande utilidade para compreensão dos mecanismos que regem o comporta mento de uma barragem. O presente trabalho apresenta um método de avaliação do desempenho de barragens por meio de agrupamento de instrumentos de comportamento similar, utilizando como ferramenta de análise correlações estatísticas lineares e não-lineares entre leituras de instrumentos de auscultação. Através do estudo proposto, é possível a identificação de instrumentos defeituosos e de comportamentos anômalos em barragens, além do fornecimento de indícios dos mecanismos geotécnicos que resultam na similaridade entre os mesmos. Como forma de validação e exemplificação do método proposto, são utilizados dados de piezometria da barragem de Itaipu Binacional.
Questionar para reafirmar

O artigo analisa o projeto curatorial da 33ª Bienal de São Paulo a partir de sua estrutura conceitual. Para isso, desenvolve uma análise que confronta as duas principais referências da curadoria: Afinidades eletivas, de Goethe, e Da natureza afetiva da forma na obra de arte, de Mário Pedrosa. Ao apontar o que considera ser uma amputação conceitual que escamoteia contextos, intenções e complexidades por parte da curadoria, o texto desenvolve uma reflexão sobre o quanto o gesto curatorial dissipa sua intenção de horizontalidade ao performar e reiterar um exercício de poder e autoridade. Tal aspecto se reforçaria pela mobilização de uma espécie de pedagogia democrática que, partindo da experiência da arte, apostou na “dissolução das identidades” e no “avanço além dos discursos identitários” como seu horizonte político. Defendendo que a arte não se dá como instância à parte de seus contextos sociais, a autora discute que a aposta curatorial na relação entre sujeito e objeto de arte resultou em um projeto conservador, por não ter levado em conta a complexidade das construções históricas que constituem e circunscrevem tanto um quanto outro.

O título, junção de uma frase da poeta argentina Tamara Kamenszain e de um verso do poeta brasileiro Luca Argel (residente em Portugal), intenta sintetizar alguns traços que pretendemos evidenciar na atual poesia brasileira. Escolhemos poetas que vêm se destacando recentemente (Simone Brantes, Daniel Francoy, Ana Estaregui, Luca Argel) para observar a convergência de certo “sentimento de mundo”. Em todos, ressaltamos três facetas interligadas: a falta de atrito entre literário e não literário; a aparente concentração da vida aos seus aspectos estritamente cotidianos e miúdos; a redução do tempo ao presente invariável. Esse último traço se articula com a noção de “presentismo” e com reflexões de Rosa Maria Martelo sobre o desejo de ralentamento do tempo na poesia hoje.
O esquecimento diz respeito ao melhor: plurilinguismo e errância nos poemas de Moacir Amâncio
Authors: Seligmann-Silva Márcio
Published: January 2019

O texto discute o volume Matula, de Moacir Amâncio. Aí o poeta recolheu os fragmentos da judeidade ibérica e de seus desdobramentos em Amsterdã, no Recife e pelo mundo afora. O artigo mostra como nesse livro tudo agora se transforma em traço de memória. Essas marcas são revalorizadas e constituem uma obra que além de memorial é profundamente irônica, pois recicla de modo livre, aberto e muitas vezes divertido, séculos de histórias e narrativas. O universo plurilíngue de Amâncio, que escreve também em hebraico, espanhol, inglês e esbarra no ladino, língua da judeidade sefardita, corresponde ao périplo da dispersão dos judeus, perseguidos pela Inquisição e sempre tentando sobreviver em outras terras. A diáspora figura aí como uma sequência de novos encontros e de desencontros.

A protocol for growing, extracting and derivatising parthenolide obtained from feverfew varieties is reported. Aminated parthenolide derivatives were prepared via 1,4-addition of primary or secondary amines utilising established and modified methods. The parthenolide derivatives’ drug-likeness properties were computed and they were screened for anti-leukaemic activity against the TP53-mutant, chemo-refractory, MEC1 chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) cell line. A screening cascade identified a small number of the most active compounds and their properties, including in vivo pharmacokinetics and in vitro hERG liability, were compared against DMAPT. This cascade culminated in the identification of a new compound with good anti CLL activity, with fewer drawbacks than some headline compounds from the literature and with utility against drug-resistant disease. Literature precedent and molecular docking studies support a multi-target-driven mode of action.
Oriented Graphene Based Electrochemical Supercapacitor

Published: January 2019

Graphene has attracted substantial interest as potential carbon electrode material for energy storage applications. Yet, the utility of this material for these applications is governed by its stability and microstructure (i.e., surface area and porosity). Graphene can be prepared in controlled orientation by changing the surface chemistry of GO flakes in suspensions via reduction which causes the graphene to coagulate and self-assemble in specific patterns. Tuning the structure and porosity of oriented graphene is possible by varying the synthesis conditions. Herein, we report the growth of oriented graphene from a relatively small flake size GO suspension. The prepared electrode material demonstrated an excellent electrochemical performance with a supercapacitance value of 195 F g-1 at 1 mV s-1 and low real impedance with good stability and integrity after 4000 cycles of continuous charge-discharge in 1 M KOH electrolyte. This excellent performance is due to the unique architecture of the oriented graphene which comprises micro-slits and meso-channels among the sheets. The meso-channels were suggested to allow rapid diffusion of charge carriers and ions while the micro-slits increase more surface area for electrochemical interactions per unit volume. The observations reported herein create a new understanding of the structure-stability-performance trade-off in oriented graphene and layout the foundation for further investigations on their sustainable utilization in energy storage applications.

This work describes the first Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of alkylpyridinium salts, derived from the corresponding amines, with aryl iodide, bromoalkyne or bromoalkyl coupling partners. C(sp)-C(sp3), C(sp2)-C(sp3) and C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond formation was achieved to afford a variety of synthetically useful arenes, alkynes and alkanes in good yields from2-33. The advantages of the methodology are showcased in the two-step synthesis of the key lactonic moiety of (+)-Compactin and (+)-Mevinolin from commercially available starting materials. A one-pot procedure without isolation of alkylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate salt was also demonstrated to be successful. This work represents a new strategy for the cross-coupling reaction of two electrophiles, and also provides a complementary and highly valuable vista for the current methodologies of alkyl arene/alkyne/alkane synthesis.

Published: January 2019

Os animais silvestres são considerados potenciais hospedeiros e reservatórios de doenças parasitárias e as aves silvestres, tanto em vida livre como em cativeiro, podem ser reservatórios e portadores de doenças aos seres humanos. Dessa forma, o objetivo desse estudo foi investigar a prevalência das Zoonoses Parasitárias e a sua relação com as Aves Silvestres no Nordeste do Brasil, no período de 2000 a 2017, através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica por produções científicas em bancos de dados on-line do Google Scholar, do Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) e no PubMed. Foram utilizadas as palavras-chave: Zoonoses Parasitárias (Parasitic zoonoses), Aves Silvestres (Wild birds), Nordeste do Brasil (Northeast Brazil). Nos 11 periódicos encontrados foram verificados a maior presença de ovos de Capillaria sp. (17%), seguida de ovos de Ascaridia sp., Heterakis sp., Strongyloides sp., superfamília Strongyloidae, Spiruroidea, cistos de Entamoeba coli e trofozoítos de Plasmodiumsp. com 7% cada. Com relação às famílias, a mais prevalente é a Cracidae, da ordem Galliformes (31%), seguida da família Psittacidae, pertencente à ordem Psittaciformes (28%). Os parasitos foram obtidos das amostras fecais, amostras sanguíneas e por meio de necropsia das aves. A captura das aves ocorreu através dos Centros de Triagem de Animais Silvestres / Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis, cativeiros, parques e sítios, indicando os maus tratos, higiene e alimentação inadequada. Conclui-se que várias espécies de aves silvestres da Região Nordeste Brasileira encontravam-se com alguma parasitose e que predominam em ambiente de cativeiro, onde as condições de alimentação e higiene são inadequadas. Além disso, pode haver a transmissão dessas doenças aos humanos, devido a cultura brasileira em criar esses animais nas residências.

Published: January 2019

Masonry infilled walls are widely used in reinforced concrete (RC) frams worldwide. However, infilled RC frame building failure is a common mode in destructive earthquakes. Further researcher is needed to bring insightful understandings into the behaviors of these structures. Therefore, this study investigates seismic parameters, ultimate tensile damage, and force transfer mechanisms in a reinforced concrete structure under in-plan load.  For this purpose, the definitions and the relevant literature were reviewed. Then, an analytical software supporting an infill model was selected and described altogether with a particular modeling approach. Calibrating software results with those presented by Abdulhafez et al. (2014), the researchers designed a series of planer one-story one-bay reinforced concrete frames upon ACI 318M-14 Building Code. The seismic behavior of infilled frames were also studied using finite element method. Force transfer mechanisms in infilled frame with opening, which is one of the important items, was investigated in this study. Comparing the analysis outcomes with the bar frame, it was indicated that the ultimate load, stiffness, and toughness of the full in-filled frame were increased while the ductility was decreased. It was also revealed that the presence of opening in infilled frame decreased the ultimate load, stiffness and toughness corresponding full infilled frame. In addition, the increasing of opening size increased the reduction of the ultimate load, stiffness and toughness.

The paper demonstrates examination results of antigenic properties ofAvibacterium paragallinarumreference strain and ten isolates thereof recovered in the Russian Federation and Republic of Belarus. Nine isolates and the reference strain demonstrated type L hemagglutinin (thermoliable, trypsin-sensitive, active against fresh and glutaraldehyde-treated RBC). One isolate was marked by type Hl hemagglutinin (thermoliable, trypsin-resistant, active only against glutaraldehydetreated RBC). The reference strain antigen proved to be inagglutinable by homologous antiserum, and unable to agglutinate RBCs due to hyaluronic acid in the capsular substance. Serological and hemagglutination non-reactivity was removed through the cell treatment with hyaluronidase. The agglutination test demonstrated that seven out of ten tested isolates belonged to the same serological group; herewith, the proportion of the bilateral antigenic relatedness amounted to ≥78.4%. HI results demonstrated ≥92.6% antigenic relatedness of the tested isolates being indicative of the fact that they belonged not only to the same serological group but also to the same serotype. No serological relatedness was identifed between the tested isolates and reference strain of serogroup A both using agglutination test (≤23.6%) and HI (≤12.2%). Polymerase chain reaction demonstrated that all the isolates recovered in the Russian Federation and Republic of Belarus in 2014-2016 belonged to serogroup B.

Fundamental period and damping of experimentally tested reinforced-concrete building under different damage levels
Authors: Cerovečki Adriana , Kraus Ivan
Published: January 2019

Blind prediction of the dynamic behavior of experimentally tested structures employing numerical models is a professional and academic challenge that brings to test existing knowledge and produces a new understanding of the performance of structures. The pre-test model is usually first validated through the fundamental period. This only adds certainty to the elastic model. However, the post-elastic behavior is steered by damping inter alia. This property of the model is usually assessed based on empirically derived analytical expressions. This paper
investigates to what extend analytical expressions for estimation of the fundamental period and damping give a good prediction of numerically
and experimentally obtained counterparts. As a governing vehicle of this paper, experimentally obtained data from the 2012 blind test contest was used. The experiment included testing of a reinforced concrete frame using a shaking table and motions of increasing intensity
levels, wherein the frame was not repaired between the tests. Besides the literature overview of analytical expressions for estimation of fundamental period and damping, this paper presents dynamic properties of experimentally tested building obtained from pseudo-free vibrations. The results of this study convey that analytical expressions underestimate experimentally and numerically obtained fundamental period, but give a good prediction of damping.

In this paper, machinery equipment induced structural vibration was investigated and a composite system for structure and equipment was proposed. Tuned mass damper (TMD) and active tuned mass damper (ATMD) were respectively performed for vibration control, in addition, particle
swarm optimization (PSO) was utilized for pursuing an optimal active control. Numerical results confirmed that the presented active control strategy could achieve a better vibration suppression compared to TMD control. The PSO based active control also gave inspiration for improving the traditional vibration control.

Published: January 2019

In this paper, a non-linear three-dimensional finite element model is presented in order to study the behaviour of axially loaded ultra-high strength concrete filled circular hollow tubular columns exposed to fire. Ultra-high strength concrete with compressive strength greater than 180 N/mm2 has been developed for concrete filled tubes for use in high–rise buildings. This paper studies the structural performance of fire protected ultra-high strength concrete filled tubular columns exposed to the standard ISO fire. The aim of this work is to understand and represent the behaviour of axially loaded ultra-high strength concrete filled circular hollow tubular columns in fire situations and to compare calculation results with experiment. The numerical analyses are carried out using a general finite element analysis package ABAQUS and the results are validated against the test results in terms of heat distribution and mechanical behavior. Comparison with the test results showed a reasonable agreement with finite element results in terms of temperature prediction and load displacement behavior during the fire.

Os sistemas de produção agrícola enfrentam o desafio de alcançar a intensificação sustentável, ou seja, aumentar a produtividade sem afetar o ambiente de uma forma que possa comprometer o desenvolvimento das gerações futuras. Em muitos países em desenvolvimento a disponibilidade de informações para auxiliar os interessados, tanto os agentes públicos  quanto os privados, para atingir esse objetivo, muitas vezes, não é uma limitação crítica. Levar as informações relevantes de institutos de pesquisa para os agentes de extensão, agricultores, agroindústrias e formuladores de política tem sido uma limitação mais frequente. Novos enfoques, ferramentas e sistemas de informação são necessários para efetivamente incorporar o conhecimento gerado nos sistemas de pesquisa em decisões reais e na elaboração de políticas públicas. Estas novas abordagens e ferramentas devem  levara em consideração, entender e mapear as redes de conhecimento existentes, através das quais a informação flui e atinge os agentes públicos e privados. Os novos sistemas devem incorporar os avanços científicos e tecnológicos alcançados nas diferentes disciplinas e gerar conhecimento integrado para efetivamente auxiliar políticas e decisões reais. Este artigo descreve o processo que levou ao estabelecimento de um sistema de informação  de apoio à tomada de decisão no Uruguai (SNIA) que está sendo liderado pelo IRI em colaboração com INIA e o Ministério da Agricultura. O artigo discute a abordagem geral e os objetivos que o IRI e seus parceiros estão usando para estabelecer o SNIA e introduz algumas das suas características, componentes e recursos. Por último, o artigo apresenta exemplos de informações, produtos e ferramentas que estão sendo incluídas no SNIA.
