Solar insolation at the poles is the driving force in Mars' seasonal climatic cycle. Mars' obliquity has varied greatly in the geologically recent past and this would have had a profound effect on the past climate. Previous studies have always assumed a spherical planet when calculating insolation. This study uses a geodetic elevation model (GEM) of the elevation data from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter, to provide accurate insolation calculations. This method takes into account the long and shortwavelength topography, the planetary curvature, and the planetary flattening. This paper outlines the design and implementation of a GEM, and presents insolation calculations for Mar's north polar cap for obliquities of 150, 250 and 450. This study found that the elevation of the northern ice cap above the surroundings results in the ice cap having more days of sunlight than previously thought.

Full textLegislated renewable portfolio standards (RPSs) may not be the key to ensure forecast energy demands are met. States without a legislated RPS and with efficient permitting procedures were found to have approved and issued 28.57% more permits on average than those with a legislated RPS. Assessment models to make informed decisions about the need and effect of legislated RPSs do not exist. Decision makers and policy creators need to use empirical data and a viable model to resolve the debate over a nationally legislated RPS. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine if relationships between the independent variables of RPS and insolation levels and the dependent variable of the percentage of permits approved would prove to be a viable model. The research population was 68 cities in the United States, of which 55 were used in this study. The return on investment economic decision model provided the theoretical framework for this study and the model generated. The output of multiple regression analysis indicated a weak to medium positive relationship among the variables. None of these relationships were statistically significant at the 0.05 level. A model using site specific data might yield significant results and be useful for determining which solar energy projects to pursue and where to implement them without Federal or State mandated RPSs. A viable model would bring about efficiency gains in the permitting process and effectiveness gains in promoting installations of solar energy-based systems. Research leading to the development of a viable model would benefit society by encouraging the development of sustainable energy sources and helping to meet forecast energy demands.

This thesis revolves about the relationship between orbital forcing and climate variability. To place paleo and modern climate variability in context, the spectrum of temperature variability is estimated from time-scales of months to hundreds of thou- sands of years using a patchwork of proxy and instrumental records. There is an energetic background continuum and rich spatial structure associated with temperature variability which both scale according to simple spectral power-laws. To complement the spatial and temporal analysis of temperature variability, a description of the full insolation forcing is also developed using Legendre polynomials to represent the spatial modes of variability and singular vectors to represent seasonal and long-term changes. The leading four spatial and temporal modes describe over 99% of the insolation variability making this a relatively simple and compact description of the full insolation forcing. Particular attention is paid to the insolation variations resulting from the precession of the equinoxes. There is no mean annual insolation variability associated with precession - precession only modulates the seasonal cycle. Nonlinear rectification of the seasonal cycle generates precession-period variability, and such rectification naturally occurs in the climate system but also results from the seasonality inherent to many climate proxies. One must distinguish this latter instrumental effect from true climate responses. Another potential source of spurious low-frequency variability results from the stretching and squeezing of an age-model so that noise in a record is made to align with an orbital signal.
(cont.) Furthermore, and contrary to assertions made elsewhere, such orbital-tuning can also generate an eccentricity-like amplitude modulation in records that have been narrow-band-pass filtered over the precession bands. An accurate age-model is the linchpin required to connect insolation forcing with any resulting climatic responses, and to avoid circular reasoning, this age-model should make no orbital assumptions. A new chronology of glaciation, spanning the last 780 kilo-years, is estimated from 21 marine sediment cores using a compaction corrected depth scale as a proxy for time. Age-model uncertainty estimates are made using a stochastic model of marine sediment accumulation. The depth-derived ages are estimated to be accurate to within L9, 000 years, and within this uncertainty are consistent with the orbitally-tuned age estimates. Nonetheless, the remaining differences between the depth and orbitally derived chronologies produce important differences in the spectral domain. From the 6180 record, using the depth-derived ages, evidence is found for a nonlinear coupling involving the 100KY and obliquity frequency bands which generates interaction bands at sum and difference frequencies. If an orbitally-tuned age-model is instead applied, these interactions are suppressed, with the system appearing more nearly linear. A generalized phase synchronization analysis is used to further assess the nonlinear coupling between obliquity and the glacial cycles. Using a formal hypothesis testing procedure, it is shown that glacial terminations are associated with high obliquity states at the 95% significance level. The association of terminations with eccentricity or precession is indistinguishable from chance.
(cont.) A simple excitable system is introduced to explore potential mechanisms by which obliquity paces the glacial cycles. After tuning a small number of adjustable parameters, the excitable model repro- duces the correct timing for each termination as well as the linear and nonlinear features earlier identified in the 6180 record. Under a wide range of conditions the model exhibits a chaotic amplitude response to insolation forcing. One chaotic mode gives a train of small and nearly equal amplitude 40KY cycles. Another mode permits ice to accumulate over two (80KY) or three obliquity cycles (120KY) prior to rapidly ablating and thus, on average, generates 100KY variability. The model spontaneously switches between these 40 and 100KY chaotic modes, suggesting that the Mid-Pleistocene Transition may be independent of any major shifts in the background state of the climate system.

Full textSOLVATTEN är en vattenreningslösning för hushåll som kombinerar filtrering, uppvärmning samt UV-strålning för att döda bakterier. Det är en 11 liters plastdunk, där ena sidan är genomskinlig, och efter att den har exponerats i solen mellan 2- 6 timmar är vattnet rent. En fältstudie har genomförts i Kenya för att undersöka exakt hur mycket solinstrålning som krävs för att vattnet ska bli rent. Idag finns det en väl fungerande indikator som mäter vattnets temperatur men en ny indikator har tagits fram av Solvatten AB som även mäter solinstrålningen och kan lagra den tillsammans med vattentemperaturen. Indikatorerna har kalibrerats för att få rätt energi och temperatur och ett Matlab-program har utvecklats för att kunna analysera informationen. För att kunna ta fram exakta värden används funktionerna polyfit och spline för att kurvanpassa datan. Programmet tar även hänsyn och korrigerar för de fel som kan uppkomma då tiden sparas. Dessa tidsfel uppkommer då indikatorerna endast skriver informationen någon gång under en kvart. Fältstudien är uppdelad i två delar, en där relationen mellan UV och total instrålning har studerats och en där vattenprover har tagits för att undersöka vilken som är den begränsande faktorn för rent vatten; temperatur, UV eller total instrålning. Tidigare studier har visat att SOLVATTEN blir rent vid 55 C. För att lyckas uppnå denna temperatur har det i vår studie krävts 83.0 Wh/m2 av UV245-400 och 307 Wh/m2 av UV190-570. När det gäller den totala instrålningen har det behövts 2680 Wh/m2. Vi har sett att det är möjligt för vattnet att bli rent vid 53 °C. Under våra tester då vi förvärmde vattnet och på sätt fick mindre instrålning, lyckades vi aldrig få under 8.2 Wh/indikator vilket motsvarar 1940 Wh/m2 av totala instrålningen, detta vid 55 °C. Tidigare tester av Solvatten AB visar att det behövs 8 Wh/indikator för att uppnå rent vatten och då vi aldrig lyckades få in mindre instrålning än så tyder det på att det är temperaturen som är den begränsande faktorn. Dock är instrålningen nödvändig då det är synergieffekten mellan värme och instrålningen som uppnår rent vatten vid så låga temperaturer. Om det är mycket moln på himlen sjunker och ökar temperaturen många gånger medan solinstrålningen fortsätter att ackumuleras. Detta betyder att den instrålade energin som når SOLVATTEN blir högre då det krävs längre exponeringstid för att nå 55 °C. Dock har vi sett att mängden UV inte ökar lika mycket som den totala instrålningen men ett generellt förhållande av hur UV och total instrålning förändras vid molnigt väder är dock svårt att kunna få fram. Den kortaste tiden för att uppnå rent vatten är 1 timme och 45 minuter då SOLVATTEN har haft en optimal vinkel mot solen.

Full textThe climatic elements are related to the deterioration of the facades of buildings. Understanding the joint action of rain, wind and sunshine is important for prevention of pathological manifestations, thus ensuring the durability of coatings. Then, it becomes essential to know about the mechanisms of heat and moisture in porous materials. The problems related to this phenomenon are many, including the dimensional variation, which can cause cracks. The solar orientation and the presence of architectural details on the facades can cause the existence of the wettest spots, which favors the deposition of pollutants and microorganisms, causing stains. Thus, this paper aims at analyzing and understanding of issues that address the durability of facade coatings based on the understanding of the influence of climatic factors in buildings of the School of Engineering of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), in Goiânia. Methodologically, the study aimed to: conducting a survey in order to quantify and map the pathological manifestations present, measurements of surface temperature and humidity in the dry and rainy seasons, trying to relate them to the cardinal orientations, creation of maps of wind-driven rain using data from the meteorological station of UFG, and conducting thermographic images, also in the rainy and dry seasons. The main results, it was found that the facades are exposed to different levels of humidity and temperature, which may favor the further deterioration of these. It was found that the north façade is the one that receives more sunlight in both the rainy and dry season, contributing to a high rate of fissuration. The same orientation is also one of the most humid and with higher levels of staining, consolidated information through wind-driven rain, that in the months of January and February 2012 reached one of the highest values. It was also observed that among the sites chosen for the measurements of surface moisture and temperature, the more prone to deterioration are the architectural details, as reached the highest values. In relation to infrared thermography, it was found that the best time of year for inspections was in the dry season and in the afternoon. In these periods, it was possible to identify pathological manifestations in the facades, such as stains, cracks and fantômes. An example is the case of the cracks which had a temperature 1°C lower than the part of the masonry without defects. It was also possible to visualize moist spots, as well as the lining of the points that were on the masonry and structure.
A deterioração das fachadas dos edifícios está relacionada com os elementos climáticos. A compreensão da ação conjunta da chuva, vento e insolação é importante para prevenção de manifestações patológicas, garantindo, assim, a durabilidade dos revestimentos. Para tanto, torna-se essencial o conhecimento a respeito dos mecanismos de transporte de calor e umidade em materiais porosos. Os problemas relacionados a estes fenômenos são diversos, dentre eles a variação dimensional, que pode ocasionar fissuras. A orientação solar e a presença de detalhes arquitetônicos nas fachadas podem provocar a existência de pontos mais úmidos, o que favorece a deposição de poluentes e a proliferação de microorganismos, causando manchamentos. Deste modo, o presente trabalho objetiva a análise e entendimento de aspectos que visem à durabilidade dos revestimentos de fachadas a partir da compreensão da influência dos fatores climáticos em edifícios da Escola de Engenharia da Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG), na cidade de Goiânia - GO. Metodologicamente, o estudo propôs-se à: realização de uma vistoria, com o intuito de quantificar e mapear as manifestações patológicas presentes; medições de temperatura e umidade superficiais nas estações seca e chuvosa, buscando relacioná-las com as orientações cardeais; cálculo do índice de chuva dirigida direcional mensal utilizando os dados da estação meteorológica da UFG; e realização de imagens termográficas, também nos períodos seco e chuvoso. Como principais resultados, verificou-se que as fachadas estão expostas a diferentes níveis de umidade e temperatura, o que pode favorecer a maior deterioração destas. Constatou-se que a fachada Norte é a que recebe mais insolação tanto no período seco quanto no chuvoso, contribuindo para um alto índice de fissuração. A mesma orientação também é uma das mais úmidas e com maiores níveis de manchamento, informação consolidada por meio do índice de chuva dirigida direcional que, nos meses de janeiro e fevereiro de 2012, atingiu um dos valores mais altos. Observou-se também que, dentre os locais escolhidos para as medições de umidade e temperatura superficiais, o mais propício à deterioração são os detalhes arquitetônicos, pois atingiram os mais altos valores. Em relação à termografia infravermelha, constatou-se que o melhor período do ano para as inspeções era na época seca e no horário da tarde. Nestes períodos, foi possível a identificação de manifestações patológicas nas fachadas, como manchas, fissuras e fantômes. Um exemplo é o caso das fissuras que possuíam temperatura 1°C menor que a parte da alvenaria sem defeitos. Foi possível a também a visualização de pontos úmidos, bem como dos pontos do revestimento que estavam sobre a alvenaria e a estrutura.

Full textSpeleothem records of stable oxygen (d18O) and carbon isotope ratios (d13C) and speleothem growth rates, precisely dated by U/Th method, were used to reconstruct past changes in precipitation in the last 93,000 years B.P. from Chapada Diamantina region, Bahia State. The paleoclimatic reconstruction takes into account results from a calibration study performed in two caves in the Chapada Diamantina region. It was found a robust relationship between isotope signature in precipitation and cave drip water and also evidenced adequate environmental conditions for speleothem deposition in isotopic equilibrium with drip water. The interpretation of the speleothem d18O records is based on the relationship between isotope composition of precipitation and rainfall amount from IAEA-GNIP stations in Brazil and also results from climate experiments coupled with d18O in precipitation using ECHAM-4. These data indicate the amount effect as the dominant isotope fractionation factor controlling the d18O variations in meteoric water forming speleothems, which is characterized by a decrease in the d18O values with an increase in rainfall amount. Speleothem d18O records allow reconstructing the regional paleoprecipitation patterns on both orbital and millennial time-scales during last glacial period and Holocene. These records indicate an increase (decrease) in paleoprecipitation over central Bahia during low (high) summer insolation (10ºS) phases. This relationship is evident is most of this new speleothem record, except in the period between 40 and 20 ka B.P., when dry climate conditions predominate in the region even during the low insolation phases. However, this relationship is exactly the contrary of the one reported from southern/southeastern Brazil and Central Andes paleoclimate studies. Furthermore, the precipitation variations in Chapada Diamantina are in phase with records from Northern Hemisphere on orbital time-scales, particularly from China and Venezuela. These results suggest a direct influence of the South American Monsoon System (SAMS) on long-term changes in precipitation over northeastern Brazil, which is primarily controlled by gradual changes in summer insolation. Abrupt wet events are defined on millennial time-scales in the Chapada Diamantina records by low values of d18O e d13C and high speleothem growth rates. They occurred under prevalence of cold conditions in Northern Hemisphere, triggered by major changes in oceanic circulation in Atlantic Ocean, during Heinrich and Younger Dryas (YD) events. On the other hand, abrupt decreases in regional precipitation are coincident with some of the Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) e Bølling-Allerød (B-A), which are typical warm events in Northern Hemisphere. However, differently from the isotope-climate relationship established on orbital times, the impact of these millennial events on the precipitation variations of Bahia is similar to what is documented in speleothem, lake and marine records from Brazil and Central Andes and opposite to changes described in China and Venezuela, among many other records from Northern Hemisphere. The climate mechanism behind the origin of these millennial events is associated with changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The Heinrich events are linked to periods of weaker AMOC and sea surface temperature gradients that favor a mean southern position of Intertropical Convergence Zone, which results in very wet conditions in Bahia.

Full textThe vegetables show a natural defense against external factors, biotic and abiotic, by the synthesis of the phenolic compounds in the secondary metabolism, which varies with the maturity state and with the climate. The increase of phenolic compounds in the plants is directly related to the resistance to the infection thought pathogens and insect infestation. However, little is known about the variation in the content of this substance during the maturity state of the coffee tree, particularly in the fructification phases due to the climatic variations. Such knowledge is the base for the risks analyses of attacks to vegetables, since the natural defense of the plant shall change during the cycle. The experiment was carried out in a Coffea arabica L. crop, to cultivar Obatã IAC 1669-20, installed in the experimental field of the department of vegetal production of the Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz", University of São Paulo, Piracicaba/SP. For the accomplishment of the experiment it was adopted a totally randomized experimental design, using four treatments (plants with and without fruits drain leaves and plants with and without fruits source leaves) and five repetitions consisting of individual plants. After analysing the variance of the results it was applied Student t test at the level of 5 % of significance to compare the averages between the treatments. The total phenol grade (µg g-1) have been extracted from the mature (source) and new (drain) leaves and have been analyzed in relation to the coffee yield, phenology and climate. The climatic conditions adopted were atmospheric temperature (average, minimum and maximum; oC), global radiation (MJ m-2 day-1) and daily insolation (h day-1). During the conduction of the experiment it was analyzed the evaluations of the height (cm), diameter (mm) and length of the reproductive branches (cm) to determine the respective vegetative growth rates of the plants. The determined amounts of total phenols in the plants with production (17.40 µg g-1 and 13.89 µg g-1 drain and source leaves, respectively) and without coffee production (18.65 µg g-1 and 12.76 µg g-1 drain and source leaves, respectively) did not varied. However, the total phenol concentrations in new leaves of the plants with and without coffee production were greater than the amount determined in mature leaves around 25 % and 46 %, respectively. The secondary substance synthesis in the phases of expansion (16.35 µg g-1) and grain filling of the fruits (14.68 µg g-1) was 31% lower than the amounts determined in the phase of the greatest production of these substances - fruit in maturation (21.24 µg g-1). The total phenol metabolization depends indirectly on the temperature (oC) and on the global radiation (MJ m-2 day-1), presenting inverse trend in relation to these climatic variable. The orientation of the crop protection managing shall take into consideration the period when it has endangerment of the natural defense of the plant.

Full textThin spinel films of Co1.7Fe1.3O4 iron cobaltites, whose composition is in the miscibility gap of the CoFe2O4-Co3O4 phase diagram, were prepared by RF sputtering near room temperature. The films obtained, whose thicknesses were fixed at 300 nm, consist of crystallites with a mean diameter close to 20 nm. The treatment of these samples at 600 °C for several hours leads to the formation of two spinel phases, in agreement with the phase diagram. This transformation was clearly established, both by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. In "bulk" iron cobaltites of close or same compositions, such a transformation is of spinodal type and is characterized by a pseudo-periodic organization of rich iron and cobalt-rich spinel phases on a scale of a few tens of nanometers. In order to highlight this organization in the thin films, microscopy studies were carried out. A specific preparation process was even developed in order to cut in-plane thin sections, by the focused ion beam (FIB) technique. Crystallites can thus be observed and studied individually. The analyzes revealed, however, and in the best case (i.e. for the largest crystallites), the presence of only two zones of different compositions. The expected pseudo-periodic alternation could never be observed. It seems that the nanometric size of the crystallites, prevents the spinodal transformation which was highlighted in the "bulk" samples. The observation of local chemical anomalies in grain boundaries corroborates this hypothesis, which suggests a "nano" effect on phase transformation. For the present work, it was furthermore found that in addition to the temperature and the annealing time, the sputtering conditions also have a significant impact on the formation and decomposition of the phases in the thin films. Although this study did not find the deposition conditions that lead directly to the formation of two spinel phases after sputtering, it shows however that certain conditions shorten the annealing times while lowering the temperatures required to perform the targeted transformation. For the first time, iron cobaltite thin films were subjected to laser beam treatments to induce phase transformations within them. It was shown that the formation of two spinels from a single-phase film can be achieved in very short times and at low laser power, probably because of a rapid and high rise of local temperature, due to the absorption of the laser beam. The numerous parameters offered by the photolithography machine used (power, scanning speed, scanning increment, focusing, etc.) could not be exhaustively explored during this study. The latter should therefore be considered only as a preliminary work. The results, however, are promising and seem to bring out a new treatment route, allowing simple phase transformations in iron cobaltites

Full textThe thesis's aim is the analysis of rachid boudjedra's french novels and specially their shape. The methodologic approach favours the poetic of the works and developpes in a secondary time the sociologic and psychologic elements as meaning structures. In the first part, we observ the linguistic and textual interferences of the text and the operations of "metissage" which build the "mythe personnel" of the subversif author. In the second part, we consider the critical rhetoric which lean on boudjedrian "archethemes". In fact, r. Boudjedra relates the writing's adventure and searches this implicit reader which will increase in number the "oeuvre ouverte"'s meanings
