title: Individual diction and public intervention in “Three positive sonnets” by Joaquim Cardozo

description: Abstract: Due to inaccurate place that Joaquim Cardozo occupies in Brazilian literary historiography, the appreciation of his work here will be limited to the range of possible individual expression, cut in three sonnets qualified by the same adjective: “positive”. With that, the positivity of textual qualification should be converted into speculation about the sense circumstantially built in that composition, which is tripartite and unfolds in the reflection on the vocabulary of the author, notably by the use of the adjective. Thus, the three sonnets will be considered as instruments of access to the style of the author through the lexicon used. The sonnet would be the upper room through which materializes a singular expressivity, more easily identifiable by the limits of fixed form, but that should signal something of his work as a whole, where rhythm, metric, the vocabulary and the phrasing of his verses gain other outlines, already suffering interference from the other conditions. Obviously the use of fixed form by Cardozo destabilizes the sense of own sonnet, creasing on his way in the tradition.

title: Propagation of bichromatic-bidirectional waves

description: ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate the transformations experienced by the mean water level and radiation stress tensor during the propagation of Bichromatic-Bidirectional (Bi-Bi) waves on a slope of 1:22 and water depth varying from 55 cm to 26 cm, simulating laboratory conditions. A computer program written in Python was used to compute those quantities at different combinations of wave angles and periods. The setup and setdown of the mean water level are strongly dependent on the combination of periods and direction of the primary waves, as they propagate along the slope, modifying the bound infragravity wave. Mohr’s circles for the radiation stress tensor showed significant changes of diameter and center at different points along the basin. The radiation stress components for the Bi-Bi waves are the sum of the stresses associated with each primary wave and a nonlinear term which results from the interference between primary waves. Disregarding these nonlinear terms may significantly affect the nearshore hydrodynamics prediction.

title: Wave length and celerity downstream from a hydraulic jump

description: ABSTRACT The wave period, i. e., the time interval which corresponds to a complete oscillation, is an important parameter of wave characterization. It allows the estimation of other important wave characteristics such as the length and celerity. This study aims at describing the results of a relationship among the significant, mean, and peak periods of waves generated downstream from a hydraulic jump. The frequency of vortex formation in the roller region within the hydraulic jump was used. Besides those relationships, wave lengths were also determined by the dispersion equation by considering the wave-current overlapping effect in order to identify the wave celerity. Estimated results of wave celerity were compared to their experimental results. Our findings allowed us to identify that the significant wave period was the most representative period for the characterization of a wave downstream from a hydraulic jump.

title: The clinical genetics of phaeochromocytoma and paraganglioma

description: ABSTRACT Phaeochromocytoma and paraganglioma are rare catecholamine-producing tumours, recognised to have one of the richest hereditary backgrounds of all neoplasms, with germline mutations seen in approximately 30% of patients. They can be a part of genetic syndromes such as MEN 2 or Neurofibromatosis type 1, or can be found as apparently sporadic tumours. Germline mutations are almost always found in syndromic patients. Nonetheless, apparently sporadic phaeochromocytoma too show high germline mutation rates. Early detection of a genetic mutation can lead to early diagnosis of further tumours via surveillance, early treatment and better prognosis. Apart from this, the genetic profile has important relevance for tumour location and biochemical profile, and can be a useful predictor of future tumour behaviour. It also enables family screening and surveillance. Moreover, recent studies have demonstrated significant driver somatic mutations in up to 75% of all tumours.

title: Puls method for events simulation in a lot scale bioretention device

description: ABSTRACT Bioretention is a technique applied to treat and reduce runoff generated in urban areas. Although these facilities present complex processes, a simple model with few parameters can be useful for its project. This paper reports an application of Puls method as a bioretention simulation quantitative tool for events. A bioretention device in real scale was installed and monitored using four level sensors and a tipping-bucket rain gauge, both with data loggers. The method was applied in two ways: the facility as a single reservoir; and the facility as two serial reservoirs. Outflows depended on a single infiltration rate in the first case (K) and two infiltration rates in the second case (K1 and K2). The study used 15 events. Results showed suitable values for Nash-Sutcliffe (NS) and determination coefficients (R2) in the calibration phase, especially for bioretention simulated as a single reservoir, with NS values ranging from 0.64 to 0.95. NS ranged from 0.80 to 0.95 in the calibration phase for the device simulated as two serial reservoirs. The validation phase achieved lower NS and R2 than calibration phase. Despite this, the present study suggests the Puls model as a good option for research on bioretention devices modelling.

title: A Forecasting Tool for Predicting Australia's Domestic Airline Passenger Demand Using a Genetic Algorithm

description: ABSTRACT: This study has proposed and empirically tested for the first time genetic algorithm optimization models for modelling Australia's domestic airline passenger demand, as measured by enplaned passengers (GAPAXDE model) and revenue passenger kilometres performed (GARPKSDE model). Data was divided into training and testing datasets; 74 training datasets were used to estimate the weighting factors of the genetic algorithm models and 13 out-of-sample datasets were used for testing the robustness of the genetic algorithm models. The genetic algorithm parameters used in this study comprised population size (n): 200; the generation number: 1,000; and mutation rate: 0.01. The modelling results have shown that both the quadratic GAPAXDE and GARPKSDE models are more accurate, reliable, and have greater predictive capability as compared to the linear models. The mean absolute percentage error in the out of sample testing dataset for the GAPAXDE and GARPKSDE quadratic models are 2.55 and 2.23%, respectively.

title: Methodology for minimum nitrogen compounds removal efficiencies estimation and wastewater treatment systems pre-selection: a watershed approach

description: ABSTRACT Nitrogen is a very important parameter for water pollution control since nitrification implies in aquatic environment oxygen consumption and some nitrogen forms are toxic. In the present study, an optimization model was developed and applied aiming at simultaneous organic matter and nitrogen compounds minimum removal efficiencies determination. A water quality model and the Genetic Algorithm Metaheuristic were associated in order to solve the optimization problem. The estimated minimum efficiencies conditioned the sewage treatment systems pre-selection. The study area was the Pardo River watershed (Espírito Santo State, Brazil). The results indicate that the treatment systems need to be more efficient in ammonia removal when the treated effluents disposed in watercourses that present high pH values because ammonia toxicity increases with pH. Considering the boundary conditions assumed in this study, the pre-selection process indicated activated sludge systems, submerged aerated biofilter with nitrification, or with biological nitrogen removal, for Ibatiba city. Simpler systems such as primary treatment with septic tanks, stabilization ponds, UASB reactors and biological filters were pre-selected for Santíssima Trindade and Nossa Senhora das Graças towns.

title: Analysis of physical mechanisms of human body instability for the definition of hazard zones present in emergency action plans of dams. Case study: Santa Helena Dam, Bahia

description: ABSTRACT The impacts caused by flood waves due to dam ruptures usually cause irreversible damages to the resident population, and, the loss of body equilibrium in floods contributes to aggravate this scenario. In this context, this work aimed to analyse the influence of consideration of physical mechanisms that cause instability in the human body on the definition of hazard zones. Therefore, it was developed simulation of the propagation of the flood wave due to the hypothetical rupture of Santa Helena Dam in Bahia, using the hydrodynamic model HEC-RAS. The results of flow velocities and heights were related and compared to different criteria of hazard zonings and mechanisms that cause body instability. It was verified that the consideration of instability mechanisms of the human body can contribute to hazard management, through the knowledge of areas in which different individuals may topple or slide. It was confirmed that in supercritical flow regimes is more likely for the individual to slide and that in subcritical regimes the individual will topple. Moreover, the consideration of parameters such as buoyancy force and the angle related to the human body's adaptive ability in a flooding influence on the definition of zones.

title: Creative folk art and cultural tourism in the city of Loulé (Algarve/Portugal)

description: Abstract This work approaches the creative folk art as a complementary offering to the product “cultural tourism” in urban space, an experience that has the unraveling of reflections and interpretations about the strategic innovation of craft products in the city of Loulé, in Algarve region, in Portugal, as an interpretive key. By this assumption, we are not interested in a description of artisans and crafts, but in the discussion about the relationship between folk art and creativity, an integrated approach in the trends of cultural tourism. In this context, the article offers the example of Ancestral Techniques and Current Solutions (ATCS) project. Thus, we consider the subjectivity of interviews and fieldwork as a method, and, through those ones, we observed everyday situations, spaces and places of artisans with their creative folk art. Therefore, the text brings arguments and analysis about tourism in the cultural and creative contexts and in the experience of valorization of folk art in Loulé.

title: Related quality of life questionnaire specific to dysthyroid ophthalmopathy evaluated in a population of patients with Graves’ disease

description: ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to measure quality of life (QOL) impairment in individuals currently suffering from Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) and to determine the correlation of GO-specific QOL scores with disease severity and activity. Subjects and methods Seventy three GO-specific QOL surveys were prospectively analysed and compared with GO status. The GO-specific QOL survey was translated into Spanish and applied to Argentine patients with Graves’ disease (GD). Results were compared with presence or absence of GO, Clinical Activity Score (CAS), severity score, age, gender and thyroid function. Results Fifty-six patients answered the survey and underwent complete ophthalmic evaluation, 15 did not have GO and were considered to be a control group. Appearance QOL score for patients with GO (53 ± 31.4) was lower than the control group (88.3 ± 17) (p &lt; 0,000), no difference was observed in functional QOL score. There was a negative correlation between GO severity and both functional (r = -0.575; p &lt; 0.000) and appearance QOL (r = -0.577; p &lt; 0.000). Functional QOL differed between patients with active GO vs control group (p = 0.043). Patients with active and inactive GO had lower appearance QOL scores than control group (p &lt; 0.000, p &lt; 0.001 respectively). Conclusions GO has significant impact on the life of these Argentine patients. QOL was worse in GO patients than in control group, functional QOL was mostly affected by the activity and appearance QOL was mainly altered by the effects of the disease. Patients with more severe GO had lower scores on both QOL scales.
