Full textIn this thesis, the compatibilization mechanism induced by clay nanoparticles in polymer blends was investigated using rheology. To do so, montmorillonite, laponite and halloysite, modified or not, were added to PMMA/PS blends. Linear shear rheology showed that the compatibilization mechanism, especially the coalescence phenomenon, was greatly influenced by the localization of clay nanoparticles. Modified montmorillonite, which was located at the interface, was shown to be the most efficient at inhibiting coalescence among clays and as efficient as a block copolymer with a high molecular mass. The latter is particularly interesting as nanoparticles are cheaper than block copolymers. In this work, special attention was given to relaxations happening in blends. Using linear shear rheology, Marangoni stresses due to a gradient in compatibilizer concentration at the interface was evidenced for the first time in the case of organically modified clay nanoparticles when located at the interface. Finally, submitting blends to elongational flow and subsequent relaxation showed that the relaxation of the droplets after high deformations was faster in the case of clays dispersed in the matrix and slowed down by the interfacial tension in the case of a better dispersion of clays at the interface or in the whole blend

Full textGasomrörning är för tillfället den vanligaste metoden som används för att homogenisera flytande stål i kommersiella processer. På grund av de svåra förhållandena under processen har fysiska modeller, byggda av exempelvis plexiglas, använts. Detta för att enklare förstå de komplexa fenomen som uppstår under processen. Modellerna används också för att optimera omrörningsförhållandena och för att uppskatta blandningstider. Istället för flytande stål har vatten använts vid modellering för att öka säkerheten och minska kostnaderna. Vattenmodellerna är vanligtvis nedskalade till storlekar som är lättare att hantera. En korrekt skalning kräver att vanliga kriterier och dimensionslösa tal uppfylls. Denna rapport undersökte noggrannheten för dessa dimensionslösa tal samt relationer som vanligtvis används vid skalning. Befintliga studier och relationer utvärderades och de teoretiskt mest lämpliga skalningsekvationerna testades. Tre stycken kärl med bottenblåsning byggdes för att testa dessa relationer. Genom att tillämpa skalningskriterier och beräkna gasflödeshastigheterna, kunde korrelationen mellan de teoretiska och uppmätta blandningstiderna undersökas. Denna avhandling drog slutsatsen att korrelationen mellan de uppmätta blandningstiderna inte var signifikant. Dock verkade en bättre approximation fås när skalfaktorn λ1/2 implementerades.

Full textThere is an increasing need for accurate models describing the electrical behaviour of individual biological cells exposed to electromagnetic fields. In this area of solving linear problem, the most frequently used technique for computing the EM field is the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method. When modelling objects that are small compared with the wavelength, for example biological cells at radio frequencies, the standard Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method requires extremely small time-step sizes, which may lead to excessive computation times. The problem can be overcome by implementing a quasi-static approximate version of FDTD, based on transferring the working frequency to a higher frequency and scaling back to the frequency of interest after the field has been computed. An approach to modeling and analysis of biological cells, incorporating the Hodgkin and Huxley membrane model, is presented here. Since the external medium of the biological cell is lossy material, a modified Berenger absorbing boundary condition is used to truncate the computation grid. Linear assemblages of cells are investigated and then Floquet periodic boundary conditions are imposed to imitate the effect of periodic replication of the assemblages. Thus, the analysis of a large structure of cells is made more computationally efficient than the modeling of the entire structure. The total fields of the simulated structures are shown to give reasonable and stable results at 900MHz, 1800MHz and 2450MHz. This method will facilitate deeper investigation of the phenomena in the interaction between EM fields and biological systems. Moreover, the nonlinear response of biological cell exposed to a 0.9GHz signal was discussed on observing the second harmonic at 1.8GHz. In this, an electrical circuit model has been proposed to calibrate the performance of nonlinear RF energy conversion inside a high quality factor resonant cavity with known nonlinear device. Meanwhile, the first and second harmonic responses of the cavity due to the loading of the cavity with the lossy material will also be demonstrated. The results from proposed mathematical model, give good indication of the input power required to detect the weakly effects of the second harmonic signal prior to perform the measurement. Hence, this proposed mathematical model will assist to determine how sensitivity of the second harmonic signal can be detected by placing the required specific input power.

"Estabilidade versus flexibilidade: a dicotomia necessária à inovação na gestão de recursos humanos em uma organização pública, estatal eestratégica como Bio-Manguinhos / Fiocruz." reponame:Repositório Institucional da FIOCRUZ, 2009. https://www.arca.fiocruz.br/handle/icict/2500.
Full textEste trabalho propõe analisar o fenômeno da terceirização desenvolvido ao longo das duas últimas décadas em Bio-Manguinhos. Trata-se de um estudo de caso realizado na unidade de produção de vacinas e reagentes para diagnóstico da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Inicialmente foi realizado um estudo de cenário, analisando a política de gestão do trabalho desenvolvida pelo Estado brasileiro para as instituições públicas. A seguir, a análise passou a verificar a inserção da Fiocruz nessas políticas, desde a sua criação e no decorrer de vigência de diferentes formas de contratação, alternando da extrema rigidez para a total flexibilidade sempre com foco na gestão do trabalho, e, como essas políticas se refletiram no desempenho de Bio-Manguinhos. Baseado no contexto da conformação do Estado e na análise do desempenho da unidade, o trabalho critica a falta de planejamento e de prospecção dessas políticas, que favoreça a inovação de processos, produtos e procedimentos e o desempenho pleno de uma unidade de produção de insumos para a saúde, tão necessários ao atendimento das necessidades da população brasileira. Critica também, a ausência de um modelo de Estado consolidado que sirva de arcabouço à formulação dessas políticas. Devido às fortes críticas dos órgãos de controle acerca da extrapolação dos limites da terceirização praticada nas últimas duas décadas e à falta de definição clara desses marcos legais, o trabalho apresenta uma metodologia baseada nas atribuições dos cargos do plano de carreiras da Fiocruz e culmina com a apresentação de uma matriz de atribuições passíveis de serem realizadas por contratação indireta. Conclui pela necessidade de convivência de dois quadros de trabalhadores: um permanente formado por servidores, estáveis e de carreira e outro flexível, executado por contratação indireta, de caráter eventual, temporário ou de apoio às atividades relacionadas à missão de Bio-Manguinhos. O trabalho ainda sugere a aplicação da mesma metodologia às demais unidades da Fiocruz e que a instituição afirme, frente aos órgãos de controle, quais atividades que ela precisa manter no quadro de servidores permanente e quais ela quer delegar a terceiros sem contudo, ferir a legislação vigente. Por fim, constata-se que a metodologia apresentada ameniza, mas não resolve o problema, dessa forma, recomenda-se à Fiocruz buscar mecanismos que altere o modelo de gestão pelo qual está submetida a fim de viabilizar as duas formas de incorporação de mão-de-obra.

Full textThis work investigated the effects of tailored, externally-applied magnetic fields on current transport and near-anode processes in the plasma discharge of a magnetoplasmadynamic thruster (MPDT). Electrical and plasma diagnostics were used to determine whether applied magnetic fields could mitigate the effects of the "onset" phenomena, including large-amplitude terminal voltage fluctuations and high anode fall voltages associated with unstable operation and anode erosion. A new MPDT was developed and operated with quasi-steady 1 ms pulses from 36 kW to 3.3 MW with argon propellant. Three magnetic configurations studied included self-field operation (without external electromagnets) and two applied poloidal magnetic fields. One configuration used magnetic field lines tangential to the anode lip (and intersecting the anode further upstream) and the other created a magnetic cusp intersecting the anode downstream.
The influence of the applied fields on the discharge current streamlines, current densities, and key plasma properties (electron temperature, number density, and plasma potential) was studied. Key findings included that the current pattern and current densities redistributed to follow the applied magnetic field lines. Also, the anode fall voltage was substantially reduced with both applied fields over a large range of currents (and eliminated at 8 kA). These results occurred because applied magnetic field lines intersecting the anode provided a high conductivity path and reduced the local electric field required to sustain the radial current densities. The applied fields reduced the amplitude and frequency of the terminal voltage fluctuations (up to 49%) over a broad range of currents and also decreased transients in the ion saturation current, which suggest reduction of current filamentation and surface-eroding anode spots. Additionally, the cusp field reduced mean terminal voltages over the entire range of discharge currents (up to 31%), and the tangential field lowered terminal voltages below 10.7 kA. These significant reductions in onset-related behaviors should lead to improved thruster lifetime and increased efficiency. These results suggest a distinctive and more effective approach to influencing the near-anode phenomena and mitigating the effects of onset with appropriately designed applied magnetic fields that differ from those used in the vast majority of conventional, so-called "applied-field MPD thrusters."

Pattern informatics (PI) is developed by Rundle and Tiampo et al. in 2002 as a calculation method to evaluate seismic anomalies and is already applied in several researches to high seismicity regions, such as California and Japan. However, two fundamental premises of PI about statistical stability of seismicity are rarely concerned in previous researches. This disregard led to serious doubt about these published results. On the other hand, the contradiction between the fundamental premises of PI and real seismicity also results in further difficulty in applying PI to Taiwanese seismicity. We applied Thirumalai-Mountain (TM) metric to identify the effectively ergodic intervals in Taiwanese seismicity. Seismicity in the identified effectively ergodic intervals are stable in statistical distribution and can be used to evaluate seismic anomalies disregarding statistical fluctuations. Through several tests we concluded that the original PI is very sensitive to statistical fluctuations and can’t be improved merely by the assistance of TM metric. On the other hand, we modified the original PI by using average seismic rate change as statistical quantity and by introducing spatial normalization to cease the inherent difference of seismicity due to tectonic environment. A seismic activation process before the 1999 Chichi earthquake is proposed by Chen in 2003. We used the modified PI to identify the distribution of seismic anomalies corresponding to the seismic activation. The identified seismic anomalies marked most of the locations of the Chichi main shock and big aftershocks. To overcome the difficulty of identifying precursory phenomenon and parametric selection, we used a combination of modified PI and genetic algorithms (GA) to objectively confirm the existence of precursory seismic anomalies before big earthquakes without any manual selection, tuning, or tests. Once the seismic anomalies are obtained, we can further explore which underlying forecasting mechanisms result in these anomalies. This strategy is successfully applied to the research for the 2008 Wenchuan, China, earthquake and identified this catastrophic earthquake as another example of seismic activation.
