: O presente trabalho busca abordar o papel da História da Matemática, proposto pelos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (MEC, 1997), de demonstrar que a matemática vem inovando seu modo de ensinar, para que os professores tenham novas maneiras de transmitir o conhecimento matemático, a partir dos princípios de que a matemática faz parte do cotidiano ao longo da evolução histórica da humanidade. A utilização da História da Matemática pode auxiliar o professor na execução de seu trabalho em sala de aula, mediante um processo de transposição didática e juntamente com outros recursos didáticos e metodológicos, que podem oferecer uma importante contribuição ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem em Matemática nos primeiros anos do Ensino Fundamental. Através da História da Matemática pretendemos relatar algumas contribuições e descobertas a História da Matemática é umas dessas pois ela auxilia na construção do conhecimento e na evolução dos conceitos matemáticos no processo ensino-aprendizagem de Matemática. Desta forma, destacamos alguns tópicos sobre a História da Matemática para a aprendizagem dos alunos, percebendo os fatos históricos como instrumento eficaz na apropriação de conceitos a partir de sua origem e considerando seus aperfeiçoamentos ao longo da história. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, cujos elementos estão apoiados nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs) para o Ensino Fundamental, no que se refere à matemática dos ciclos iniciais, publicados em 1997, e nos teóricos que discutem a temática como: Fossa (1995); Fiorentini (2001; 2005); Félix (2001); Baroni e Nobre (1999), Miguel e Miorim (1995), Mendes (2006), dentre outros. Constatou-se, a partir da pesquisa, que os interlocutores revelaram, diante dos seus escritos, que a utilização da História da Matemática, com perspectivas voltadas para o processo de atribuição de significados aos conceitos matemáticos oferece aos alunos instrumentos que potencializem o pensamento, desenvolvendo atividades sistematizadas, ocorrendo relações interativas entre as partes integrantes do processo construtivista de desenvolvimento que associa linguagem matemática e construção histórica voltadas para uma aprendizagem de redescobertas, explorando a matemática nos diferentes tempos e espaços escolares, constituindo-se como recurso mediador na melhoria e qualidade da aprendizagem de alunos nos primeiros anos do Ensino Fundamental.

Esta investigação objetivou realizar reflexões sobre a formação de professores no âmbito da Educação Física - Licenciatura. A metodologia caracterizou-se pelo enfoque bibliográfico com abordagem qualitativa tendo como interpretação das informações uma análise documental. Ao analisarmos alguns autores: Krug, Marques, Ilha, Ivo, Marcelo Garcia, Teixeira, Nagle, Steinhilber, Lima, Nascimento, Carreiro da Costa, Saviani, Darido, Nóvoa, Luckesi, Freire e Telles, passamos a refletir sobre a prática e a linguagem, observando divergências entre os mesmos. Nossas observações mostraram perspectivas diferentes: um primeiro grupo aborda a formação como uma caça aos incompetentes; um segundo grupo como uma busca de excelência pela organização escolar como um todo e ainda outros através de objetivos, critérios, reformulação e objetivos. Verificamos que os métodos utilizados por alguns autores estão ainda fortemente presentes na escola, devido a uma corrente positivista, que ainda se encontra presente nos cursos de Educação Física - Licenciatura, como conseqüência da formação adquirida pelos docentes, que ocorreu num tempo onde a cultura física era fortemente predominante. Concluímos que a formação de professores em Educação Física - Licenciatura só tem sentido se for acompanhada por uma mudança de atitudes, por uma concepção diferente da formação hegemônica atual, isto é, a formação tecnicista.

Variable remanence acquisition efficiency in sediments containing biogenic and detrital magnetites: Implications for relative paleointensity signal recording
Authors: Ouyang Tingping , Heslop David , Roberts Andrew P. , Tian Chengjing , Zhu Zhaoyu , Qiu Yan , Peng Xuechao 
Published: June 2014

AbstractWidespread geological preservation of biogenic magnetite makes it important to assess how such particles contribute to sedimentary paleomagnetic signals. We studied a sediment core from the South China Sea that passes the strict empirical criteria for magnetic “uniformity” used in relative paleointensity studies. Such assessments are based routinely on bulk magnetic parameters that often fail to enable identification of mixed magnetic mineral assemblages. Using techniques that enable component‐specific magnetic mineral identification, we find that biogenic and detrital magnetites occur in approximately equal concentrations within the studied sediments. We analyzed normalized remanence signals associated with the two magnetite components to assess whether co‐occurring biogenic and detrital magnetites record geomagnetic information in the same way and with the same efficiency. Paleomagnetic directions for the two components have no phase lag, which suggests that the biogenic and detrital magnetites acquired their magnetizations at equivalent times. However, we find that the biogenic magnetite is generally 2–4 times more efficient as the detrital magnetite in contributing to the natural remanent magnetization (NRM) despite their approximately equal magnetic contributions. Variations in the concentration and efficiency of remanence acquisition of the two components suggest that a significant part of the NRM is controlled by nongeomagnetic factors that will affect relative paleointensity recording. We recommend that methods suited to the detection of variable recording efficiency associated with biogenic and detrital magnetites should be used on a routine basis in relative paleointensity studies.

Published: June 2014

AbstractWe investigated temperature and growth‐rate dependency of skeletal oxygen and carbon isotopes in primary polyps of Acropora digitifera (Scleractinia: Acroporidae) by culturing them at 20, 23, 27, or 31°C. Calcification was most rapid at 27 and 31°C. We obtained a δ18O‐temperature relationship (−0.18‰ °C−1) consistent with reported ranges for Porites, indicating that juvenile Acropora polyps can be used for temperature reconstruction. A growth‐rate dependency of skeletal isotopes was detected in the experimental polyps cultured at lower water temperatures, when the skeletal growth rate of these polyps was also low. The estimated upper calcification flux limit for a kinetic isotope effect to be observed in the δ18O‐growth rate relationship (∼0.4–0.7 g CaCO3 cm−2 yr−1) was similar to the calcification flux in Porites corresponding to a linear extension rate of 5 mm yr−1, the maximum rate at which the kinetic isotope effect is evident. This result suggests that the calcification flux can be used as a measure of growth rate‐related isotope fractionation, that is, the kinetic isotope effect, in corals of different genera and at different growth stages.
Pb isotope compositions of detrital K‐feldspar grains in the upper‐middle Yangtze River system: Implications for sediment provenance and drainage evolution

Published: June 2014

AbstractThe upper‐middle Yangtze River drains the Qiangtang Block, the Songpan‐Ganzi, the Yangtze Craton, and the Qinling‐Dabie orogenic belt. These tectonic units have been shown to have heterogeneous Pb isotopic compositions, which allow this isotope system to be used as a sediment provenance tool. In this study we have employed laser ablation multiple collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐MC‐ICPMS) to measure Pb isotope compositions of sand‐sized K‐feldspar grains from the upper‐middle Yangtze River. Data are presented from four major tributaries: Yalongjiang, Minjiang, Jialingjiang, and Hanjiang, as well as from the main Yangtze River near Yichang. A portion of K‐feldspar grains in the Yalongjiang shows an ultraradiogenic character (206Pb/204Pb > 20), which is unique in the upper‐middle Yangtze. Moreover, these ultraradiogenic grains were transported as far as Yichang, just downstream from the Three Gorges, suggesting that the Pb‐in‐K‐feldspar method could be applied to the sediments within the Jianghan Basin to date the formation of the Three Gorges. Pb isotopic data from Yichang indicate that erosion in the Longmen Shan and neighboring regions is more important than the Jinshajiang in supplying sediment. The grains in Hanoi Basin have little overlap with the Songpan‐Ganzi, but show a good match with the Yangtze Craton in its range of lower 206Pb/204Pb ratios. These observations support the idea that the “Middle Yangtze” used to be a tributary of the paleo‐Red River and that there has been no drainage linking the Songpan‐Ganzi and the Red River since the Eocene.
Urban impacts on mean and trend of surface incident solar radiation
Authors: Wang Kaicun , Ma Qian , Wang XiaoYan , Wild Martin 
Published: June 2014

AbstractAnthropogenic aerosols over urban areas may have important effects on surface incident solar radiation (Rs). Studies have claimed that Rs decreased significantly more in urban areas than in rural areas from 1964 to 1989. However, these estimates have substantial biases because they ignored the spatial inhomogeneity of Rs measurements. To address this issue, we selected urban‐rural station pairs collocated within 2° × 2° and found 105 such pairs based on the Global Energy Balance Archive (GEBA). On average, the impact of urban aerosols on mean and trend of Rs is 0.2(0.7, median) ± 11.2 W m−2 and 0.1(−0.7, median) ± 6.6 W m−2 per decade from 1961 to 1990, respectively. Hence, the averaged urban impacts on the mean and trend of Rs over Europe, China and Japan from 1961 to 1990 are small although they may be significant at specific sites.
Experimental evidence for the formation of liquid saline water on Mars
Authors: Fischer Erik , Martínez Germán M. , Elliott Harvey M. , Rennó Nilton O. 
Published: June 2014

AbstractEvidence for deliquescence of perchlorate salts has been discovered in the Martian polar region while possible brine flows have been observed in the equatorial region. This appears to contradict the idea that bulk deliquescence is too slow to occur during the short periods of the Martian diurnal cycle during which conditions are favorable for it. We conduct laboratory experiments to study the formation of liquid brines at Mars environmental conditions. We find that when water vapor is the only source of water, bulk deliquescence of perchlorates is not rapid enough to occur during the short periods of the day during which the temperature is above the salts' eutectic value, and the humidity is above the salts' deliquescence value. However, when the salts are in contact with water ice, liquid brine forms in minutes, indicating that aqueous solutions could form temporarily where salts and ice coexist on the Martian surface and in the shallow subsurface.
Seasonal differences in the sunrise undulations at the dip equator at solar minimum at two distinct locations and their relation with postsunset electrodynamics
Authors: Ambili K. M. , Choudhary R. K. , St.‐Maurice J.‐P. 
Published: June 2014

AbstractA sunrise undulation (SU) is observed by ionosondes when new ionization is produced at sunrise in the upper F region at the geomagnetic equator. It creates a very quick upward transition in the F region peak altitude (hmF2), which subsequently undergoes a sharp descent at a rate far in excess of any electrodynamic drift. The peak density also increases rapidly during the descent. However, the detection of the new plasma with ionosondes is possible only if plasma from the night before has undergone enough recombination, which, on average, can vary from one location to another and one season to the next. With this in mind, we have studied seasonal variations in the SU occurrence in 2010 at two widely separated geomagnetic equatorial stations in longitude, at Jicamarca in Peru and Trivandrum in India. Noticeable differences were found in the characteristics of undulation observed at the two locations. While full undulation (both ascend and descend in hmF2) was observed throughout the year at Trivandrum, only the descending part of undulation was visible at Jicamarca. Plasma density just before sunrise, on average, was 2 times larger at Jicamarca than at Trivandrum. The average hmF2, which peaks during night, was also higher at Jicamarca by as much as 100 km compared to Trivandrum. We traced the origin of these differences to the evolution of zonal electric field between sunset and local midnight at the two locations. The downward drift during this period was steeper at Trivandrum compared to Jicamarca, particularly during equinox. In addition, the strength of the downward drifts at Jicamarca decreased and even underwent a sign reversal prior to sunrise during equinox and winter months. In comparison, the downward motion at Trivandrum only became stronger during early morning hours. The contrast between the vertical drift at the two stations provides a very reasonable qualitative explanation for the differences in the characteristics of SU observed at the two stations.
Analytical model for flow duration curves in seasonally dry climates
Authors: Müller Marc F. , Dralle David N. , Thompson Sally E. 
Published: June 2014

AbstractFlow duration curves (FDC) display streamflow values against their relative exceedance time. They provide critical information for watershed management by representing the variation in the availability and reliability of surface water to supply ecosystem services and satisfy anthropogenic needs. FDCs are particularly revealing in seasonally dry climates, where surface water supplies are highly variable. While useful, the empirical computation of FDCs is data intensive and challenging in sparsely gauged regions, meaning that there is a need for robust, predictive models to evaluate FDCs with simple parameterization. Here, we derive a process‐based analytical expression for FDCs in seasonally dry climates. During the wet season, streamflow is modeled as a stochastic variable driven by rainfall, following the stochastic analytical model of Botter et al. (2007a). During the dry season, streamflow is modeled as a deterministic recession with a stochastic initial condition that accounts for the carryover of catchment storage across seasons. The resulting FDC model is applied to 38 catchments in Nepal, coastal California, and Western Australia, where FDCs are successfully modeled using five physically meaningful parameters with minimal calibration. A Monte Carlo analysis revealed that the model is robust to deviations from its assumptions of Poissonian rainfall, exponentially distributed response times and constant seasonal timing. The approach successfully models period‐of‐record FDCs and allows interannual and intra‐annual sources of variations in dry season streamflow to be separated. The resulting median annual FDCs and confidence intervals allow the simulation of the consequences of interannual flow variations for infrastructure projects. We present an example using run‐of‐river hydropower in Nepal as a case study.
