Full textAbstract:
Forests and forest users are increasingly engaged in global scale markets that connect different stages of commodity production and retail. This thesis adopts a Global Production Network framing in order to investigate the case of rattan cane and furniture. I examine the ways in which actors benefit from rattan (a non-timber forest product) and elucidate power dynamics that explain how some actors are better positioned to benefit from rattan than others. My conceptual framework combines the literature on access with global production networks. I explore access starting in the forests of Sulawesi, Indonesia, moving to processing in larger centres in Sulawesi and Java, and ending in retail shops in the UK. This approach enables an analysis of rich mixed-method empirical data. My main findings centre around Indonesia’s rattan export ban, which benefited only elites and served to support the overall decline of global rattan furniture markets. Further, I elucidate the influence that access at one phase of production has on another and highlight understandings of access within the context of the greater production system. While most actors engage in activities and trading relations that serve access to markets, non-actors enable these actions, but for different benefits, such as strengthened authority. Lastly, I link aspects of materiality to access, demonstrating how the biogeophysical features of rattan shape actors’ ability to benefit from natural resource products and how markets shape material features of rattan. These findings are significant to the greater bodies of knowledge around the power dynamics of production networks and show the specific mechanisms by which elites capture benefits of rattan. They demonstrate the importance of appreciating the complexity of production networks, which in this case was ill-considered by policy makers and even industry elites themselves.

Full textAbstract:
American policy makers primarily embrace a deterrent-based policing agenda to curb illicit drug trafficking and use that relies on the principles of the economic price elasticity of demand (Boynum & Reuter, 2005). This counter-drug platform includes three fundamental programs: arresting offenders, seizing illicit drugs, and eradicating horticultural sources of illicit drugs (U.S. DEA, 2015). One of the main goals of these programs is to deter illegal trafficking and use by increasing the price of illicit substances so they are no longer attractive to consumers. The United States has weathered various drug use epidemics during its history, and currently it is facing a heroin and opioid epidemic (Dean, 2017).
The present multi-dimensional study is guided by three broad goals: to assess the dynamics of illicit drug pricing and the economic price elasticity of demand perspective; to evaluate whether drug trafficking organizations respond to theoretically deterrence based counter-drug law enforcement efforts; and to assess why law enforcement activities are (or are not) effective in controlling illegal drug markets. To accomplish these three broad goals, four separate yet linked focal points comprised of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods evaluations of official data are examined.
The findings in the study call into question the current American counter-drug law enforcement agenda being used to address the ongoing heroin epidemic. Furthermore, the results shine light on various shortcomings in overall U.S. counter-drug policy. Finally, the study calls for a new approach to address illicit drug trafficking and use in the U.S.

Full textAbstract:
Providing safe and high quality drinking water is essential for a high quality of life. However, the water resources in Europe are threatened by various sources of
contamination. This has led to the development of concepts and technologies to create a basis for provision of safe and high quality drinking water, which had thus resulted in the formation of the Artificial Recharge Demonstration project (ARTDEMO). The
overall aim of this thesis in relation to the ARTDEMO project was to develop a realtime
automated water monitoring system, capable of using data from various complementary sources to determine the amounts of inorganic and organic pollutants.
The application of multivariate calibration to differential pulse anodic stripping
voltammograms and fluorescence spectra (emission and excitation-emission matrix) is
presented. The quantitative determination of cadmium, lead and copper acquired on
carbon-ink screen-printed electrodes, arsenic and mercury acquired on gold-ink
screen-printed electrodes, in addition to the quantitative determination of anthracene,
phenanthrene and naphthalene have been realised. The statistically inspired
modification of partial least squares (SIMPLS) algorithm has been shown to be the
better modelling tool, in terms of the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP),
in conjunction with application of data pre-treatment techniques involving rangescaling,
filtering and weighting of variables. The % recoveries of cadmium, lead and
copper in a certified reference material by graphite furnace atomic absorption
spectrometry (GF-AAS) and multivariate calibration are in good agreement.
The development of a prototype application on a personal digital assistant (PDA)
device is described. At-line analysis at potential contamination sites in which an
instant response is required is thus possible. This provides quantitative screening of target metal ions. The application imports the acquired voltammograms, standardises
them against the laboratory-acquired voltammograms (using piecewise direct
standardisation), and predicts the concentrations of the target metal ions using
previously trained SIMPLS models.
This work represents significant progress in the development of analytical techniques
for water quality determination, in line with the ARTDEMO project's aim of
maintaining a high quality of drinking water.

Full textAbstract:
The food sector accounts for $1 of every $6 in the U.S. economy, with more than $700 billion in revenue every year. However, incidents of food safety and substandard quality continue to rise. Consumers are beginning to mistrust and have lower confidence in the food supply chain. Food manufacturers need to address this issue to remain profitable. One approach includes the introduction of food policy programs that allow for independent auditing and certifications such as the Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification. The SQF certification was established as a rigorous and credible benchmark for food handlers to enforce food safety and quality standards. The purpose of this qualitative case study research was to evaluate the perceived usefulness of the SQF certification to food manufacturers. Guided by the theory of diffusion of innovation, data collection for this study included 35 stakeholder semistructured interviews and a review of 5 publicly available documents for triangulation. Thematic analysis of the transcripts was performed to generate answers to the research questions. Study findings revealed that if properly implemented, the SQF certification is a credible and robust GFSI scheme that provides effective guidelines for food production. Findings also revealed 2 opportunities for improvement. Participants noted that training programs for SQF practitioners and auditors should be improved, likewise more commitment and involvement of facility management should be required. The findings may contribute to social change by providing food producers with strategies to minimize food production failures. With the perceived benefits of the SQF certification, other food producers who have not adopted this scheme can benefit from this holistic certification to enhance their food production network.

Full textAbstract:
In this study ferroboron (Fe - 14 at %B) was synthesized in crystalline form (Fe + Fe2B) via electrodeoxidation. For this purpose, Fe2O3 and H3BO3 were mixed in suitable proportions via spex mill. The powder was cold pressed and sintered at 900 °C yielding a two phase structure Fe3BO6 and Fe2O3. The sintered pellets were electro-deoxidized in CaCl2 by applying 3.1 Volts at 850°
C for 12 hours. This yielded Fe and Fe2B in proportions slightly deviating from the target composition. The chemical pathway of reduction is inspected by the help of the available thermodynamic data and the x-ray characterization of partially reduced samples. CaO and the formation of Ca3B2O6 were found to be effective in the mid-steps of this electrodeoxidation process.

Full textAbstract:
Dry cured meat production is a costly and long term investment for producers. Ham mites (Tyrophagus putrescentiae) are a common pest of dry cured products and cause devastating effects, potentially nullifying producers' investments due to loss of salable product, as well as regulatory concerns. Methyl bromide, a chemical fumigant used to control mite populations, is damaging to stratospheric ozone and will no longer be available. Presently, no alternative control measure has been approved to combat the ham mite; therefore, it is essential to identify potential alternatives. Interest in safe alternatives to control arthropod pest populations is gaining momentum, and garlic (Allium sativum) has been used to control other arthropod species including the northern fowl mite, mosquitos, and aphids. We chose to explore the efficacy of garlic juice in controlling T. putrescentiae. Using a choice test design, approximately 65% of the inoculated mites colonized on the control ham cubes, while no mites remained on garlic juice-dipped cubes. Garlic was ineffective when examined for volatile efficacy, but was effective in direct contact assays. However, as garlic juice was aged and diluted, efficacy was reduced even after treatments with antioxidants, metal chelators, and pH neutralization. In total, garlic juice acted as a short term repellent and showed efficacy in contact models, but application is time sensitive due to variable enzymatic degradation.Master of Science

Previous issue date: 2011-07-01This thesis concerns to the analysis of purchase and sale of future production of sugarcane by alcohol industries in the State of (factories). The study provides information about the production growth of sugar and ethanol in the factories as long as it gives interpretative elements of the contractual relationship both in private and constitutional point of view, proposing solutions to the imbalances that might occur in the purchase and sale contracts of future crops with small farmers in the State of. From a commercial point of view the region covers wide range of purchase and sale of sugarcane contracts, and considering a scientific perspective it shows great relevance, with reflections on the contract area. Due to this perspective, which includes the verification of the contracted forms, its main purpose is to ponder the situation of small farmers in this kind of deal, according to the principles of objective good faith, the contract social function, reasonableness and the Courts jurisprudence, always interpreting the contractual terms in favor of the party with less financial condition, in order to reduce the contractual imbalance. It defends the view that the purchase and sale harvest contract can be reviewed/terminated in case of an agreement imbalance, especially considering that the acquiring company does not anticipate payments or help in the purchase of agricultural inputs.
Esta dissertação visa a análise da jurisprudência sobre contratos de compra e venda de produção futura de cana-de-açúcar pelas empresas produtoras de álcool no Estado de Goiás (Usinas). O estudo levanta informações sobre o crescimento da produção de açúcar e de álcool nas usinas, bem como fornece elementos interpretativos do vínculo contratual assumido pelos contratantes na órbita privada e constitucional, propondo soluções aos desequilíbrios nos contratos de compra e venda de lavoura futura com o pequeno produtor rural, com enfoque sobre a agricultura familiar, no Estado de Goiás. Do ponto de vista negocial a região abrange enorme gama de contratos de compra e venda de cana-de-açúcar, e sob o ângulo da órbita científica apresenta liames de interessante relevo, com reflexos na área contratual. Devido a essa abordagem, que inclui a verificação das formas contratadas, tem o objetivo de sopesar a situação do pequeno produtor rural na avença e respectiva necessidade econômica de mantê-lo no campo, de acordo com os princípios da boa-fé objetiva, da função social do contrato, da razoabilidade e da jurisprudência dos Tribunais, propondo a interpretação das cláusulas contratuais em favor da parte com menor condição financeira no liame obrigacional estipulado, diminuindo o desequilíbrio contratual. Defende-se o ponto de vista de que o contrato de compra e venda de safra futura pode ser revisto/rescindido em caso de desequilíbrio no pactuado e interpretado na órbita agrária, mormente considerando que a empresa adquirente não antecipa parte do pagamento ou ajuda na aquisição de insumos agrícolas.

This research aimed at investigating the creation process, reading and comprehension of the text Sala de Aula (Classroom). To accomplish this objective, a class of junior high school students ( 2 grade) at the Federal Center of Technological Education (CEFET-PR) was observed during one academic year. Data to organize documentary material was collected from : life accounts of the participants, records of the notes taken in the classroom and evidences obtained during fieldwork. The linguistic theory developed by Mikhail Bakhtin provided the theoretical underpinnings upon which this research was carried out as well as the following methodological procedures: case study, evidential paradigm and narrative research. Such theory enabled us to see the text Sala de aula as polyphonic, that is, a text where different voices meet, intersect, clash, demonstrating thus how important and relevant interaction between students in each class is. A deep insight into the text in question was obtained by hearing singular stories that shed a great deal of light upon students' current attitudes. It is in human's nature, from a social and historical point of view, to be given to narrating stories which explains the fact that the classroom is the place where stories are told. Therefore, all human actions are the result of experiences shared in our interactions by means of language that makes itself present in each encounter, contact, action and look. The fact that the text Sala de aula is the product of interactions interspersed with stories entitles us to say that language materializes in this creative process. Such interactions, however, reveal only a small fraction of a communicative process, as if it were a link, an extension of past interactions and, consequently ...(Complete abstract, click electronic access below)

Full textAbstract:
The Marquis de Sade has a notorious reputation amongst academics as a continuous figure of fictional and cultural studies. His characters, stories, and writings carry weight in modern interpretations of gender dynamics, pornographic aesthetics, and the alternative fantastical. This thesis will explore the Marquis de Sade’s most famous characters, Justine and Juliette, as means to define the Marquis’ significance to 21st Century Western culture production, particularly in Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist and E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey. Exploring the female protagonists (or main characters) of the separate works, the correlations of subjugation, constructed morality, and the constructs of femininity become important markers for understanding the Marquis’ dissemination of his philosophies on gender, violence, and indulgent sexuality that leads to conversations on pornographic aesthetics in our modern period. Despite being dead for nearly 200 years, the Marquis de Sade’s relevance parades on in ideologies regarding female identity and sexual desires of the extreme.

Full textAbstract:
Main reason for the current losses in electrolytic magnesium production is the reaction between electrode products. Present study was devoted to effective separation of chlorine gas from the electrolysis environment by a new cell design and thus reducing the extent of back reaction between magnesium and chlorine to decrease energy consumption values. The new cell design was tested by changing temperature, cathode surface, current density, anode cathode distance and electrolyte composition.
Both the voltages and the current efficiencies were considered to be influenced by the amount and hydrodynamics of chlorine bubbles in inter-electrode region. Cell voltages were also found to be affected from the nucleation of magnesium droplets and changes in electrolyte composition that took place during the electrolysis. A hydrodynamic model was used to calculate net cell voltage by including the resistance of chlorine bubbles on anode surface to theoretical decomposition voltage during electrolysis. Good correlations were obtained between experimental and calculated voltages. The same model was used to calculate current efficiencies by considering chlorine diffusion from bubble surfaces. A general agreement was obtained between calculated and experimental current efficiencies.
Desired magnesium deposition morphology and detachment characteristics from cathode were obtained when MgCl2-NaCl-KCl-CaCl2 electrolytes were employed. Current efficiencies higher than 90% could be achieved using the above electrolyte. The cell consumes around 8 kWh·
kg-1 Mg at 0.43 A&
#903
cm-2 as a result of high chlorine removal efficiency and capability of working at low inter-electrode distances. Furthermore, the cell was capable of producing magnesium with less than the lowest energy consumption industrially obtained, at about double the commonly practiced industrial current density levels.

A deep insight into the text in question was obtained by hearing singular stories that shed a great deal of light upon students' current attitudes. It is in human's nature, from a social and historical point of view, to be given to narrating stories which explains the fact that the classroom is the place where stories are told. Therefore, all human actions are the result of experiences shared in our interactions by means of language that makes itself present in each encounter, contact, action and look. The fact that the text " Sala de aula" is the product of interactions interspersed with stories entitles us to say that language materializes in this creative process. Such interactions, however, reveal only a small fraction of a communicative process, as if it were a link, an extension of past interactions and, consequently ...(Complete abstract, click electronic access below)

[Truncated abstract. Formulae and special characters in this field can only be approximated. See PDF version for accurate reproduction.] Solar salt producers use solar energy to evaporate seawater as it flows through a series of ponds. The Shark Bay Salt solar ponds, at Useless Inlet in Western Australia, vary in salinity from that of seawater to four times seawater, over the pond sequence. Water column photosynthesis and biomass decreased markedly with increasing salinity along the pond sequence, while benthic productivity increased as cyanobacterial mats developed. Correspondingly, net productivity shifted from autotrophy to heterotrophy in the water column and from heterotrophy to autotrophy in the benthos. Both shifts occurred at intermediate salinity in the pond sequence, where there was low production in both the water column and benthos. Within individual ponds, productivity, algal biomass and physico-chemical conditions were relatively constant over the year of study. Transitions between benthic and planktonic production along the pond sequence were driven mostly by direct responses to salinity stress, as well as the formation of a gypsum crust on the pond floors at higher salinity (>120 g kg-1). This transition is similar to that which occurs in saline lakes undergoing anthropogenic salinisation and identifies critical salinities for the restoration of these lakes.

Full textAbstract:
Aluminium recycling requires 95% less energy than primary production with no loss of quality. The Black Dross (BD) produced during secondary aluminium production contains high amounts of water-soluble compounds, therefore it is considered as a toxic waste. In the present work, salt removal from BD by thermal treatment has been investigated in laboratory scale. The optimum conditions for treatment were established, i.e., temperature, gas flow rate, holding time, rotation rate, and sample size. The overall degree of chloride removal was established to increase as a function of time and temperature. Even Pretreated Black Dross (PBD) was evaluated as a possible raw material for the production of a calcium aluminate-based ladle-fluxing agent to be used in the steel industry. The effects of different process parameters on the properties of the produced flux were experimentally investigated, i.e. CaO/Al2O3 ratio, temperature, holding time, and cooling media. The utilization of PBD as the alumina source during the production of a calcium aluminate fluxing agent shows promising results. The iron/steel industry is responsible for 9% of anthropogenic energy and process CO2 emissions. It is believed that the only way to a long-term reduction of the CO2 emissions from the iron/steel industry is commercialization of alternative processes such as Direct Reduction (DR) of iron oxide. Detailed knowledge of the kinetics of the reduction reactions is, however, a prerequisite for the design and optimization of the DR process. To obtain a better understanding of the reduction kinetics, a model was developed step-by-step, from a single pellet to a fixed bed with many pellets. The equations were solved using the commercial software COMSOL Multiphysics®. The final model considers the reaction rate and mass transfer inside the pellet, as well as the mass transfers and heat transfer in the fixed bed. All the models were verified against experimental results, and where found to describe the results in a satisfying way.QC 20161128

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar as atividades do professor com gêneros argumentativos em sala de aula e analisar em que medida a preparação dessas atividades contribuem com a escrita do gênero artigo de opinião por alunos do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública do Estado de São Paulo. Seguindo os preceitos dos PCNs e do Currículo do Estado de São Paulo, adotou-se a língua como objeto de estudo da disciplina de Língua Portuguesa, assim como as concepções de gêneros discursivos apoiadas em Bakthin (2003), Marcuschi (2008) e Rojo (2000). Em relação à organização do trabalho pedagógico, apoiados nas orientações de Schneuwly e Dolz (2004) planejou-se uma sequência didática para a produção de artigo de opinião. Tomou-se como produção inicial e produção final as avaliações externas aplicadas, respectivamente, no primeiro e segundo semestre, as AAP (Avaliação de Aprendizagem em processo). As atividades dos materiais didático-pedagógicos utilizados foram selecionadas procurando atender a reflexão sobre as características do gênero formuladas por Rodrigues (2000) Brakling (2000) e outros autores pesquisados. Quanto às estratégias de ensino de produção textual escrita, recorremos a Antunes (2003) e Geraldi (1991), evidenciando as etapas de planejamento e preparo para a produção escrita. A análise das produções, dentro de uma perspectiva enunciativa e interacionista da língua, procurou evidenciar os recursos linguísticos-discursivo empregados pelos alunos para a construção da argumentação. Para melhor compreender o uso desses recursos argumentativos recorreu-se à Retórica de Aristóteles associando-se aos estudos da Nova Retórica de PERELMAN & OLBRECHTS-TYTECA (1996). Os resultados da pesquisa demonstram que há uma relação direta entre as escolhas teóricas para a organização do trabalho pedagógico e a melhora da qualidade de escrita dos alunos. Confirmou-se também a hipótese da relevância do ensino dos gêneros argumentativos, pois os alunos-autores demonstraram um posicionamento crítico em relação aos temas abordados nas produções textuais. Houve ganhos quanto à organização e produtividade textual, efeito das atividades de leitura e alimentação temática, mas por outro lado, as fragilidades das atividades específicas para a construção do gênero, aliados aos problemas relativos às propostas sugeridas apontam para uma reorientação do trabalho com o gênero artigo de opinião.This research aims to investigate teacher-proposed classroom activities involving argumentative genres and analyze the extent up to which the preparation of those activities contribute to the writing of opinion articles of 9th-graders of a public school run by São Paulo state. Based on the National Curriculum Parameters and on the Curriculum of the State of São Paulo, language was embraced as the study object of the discipline Portuguese, along with the conceptions of discourse genres by Bakhtin (2003), Marcuschi (2008), and Rojo (2000). Regarding the organization of the pedagogical work, a didactic sequence based on Schneuwly and Dolzs (2004) guidelines was planned aiming at the writing of an opinion article. The external Evaluations of Learning in Process in the first and in the second semesters were taken respectively as initial and final production. The activities in the didactic-pedagogical materials were selected when in keeping with the reflections on the characteristics of the genre opinion article proposed by Rodrigues (2000), Brakling (2000), among others. As to the teaching strategies of written production, the research resorted to the works of Antunes (2003) and Geraldi (1991), making evident the planning and preparation stages of the written production. The analysis of the productions, from an enunciative and interactional perspective of language, sought to reveal the linguistic-discursive strategies used by students in the construction of argumentation. In order to better understand the use of those strategies, Aristotles Rhetoric was resorted to, as well as the New Rhetoric, by Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (1996). The results of the research suggest that there is a direct relation between the theoretical choices for the organization of the pedagogical work and the improvement observed in student writing. The teaching of argumentative genres proved relevant, as student-authors were able to take a critical stand towards the topics of the written assignments. Improvements were observed regarding text organization and productivity an effect of the reading and topic-related activities; on the other hand, the weak points of the specific activities for genre construction, alongside the problems related to the suggested plans, point to the reorientation of the work with opinion articles.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Scientiae - MScFollowing successful discovery and production of hydrocarbons, Gabon is one of the key hydrocarbon target countries in Africa. Located in the Lower Congo Basin, the study area is based in Etame Marin Permit (EMP), which is licensed to VAALCO Energy Inc., and has been producing hydrocarbons since 2002. The currently explored and producing reservoirs are in the pre-salt sandstones of the Aptian Gamba Formation, charged with hydrocarbons sourced from the syn-rift lacustrine shale of the pre-Aptian Melania Formation. With the aim of finding potential petroleum plays in the post-salt successions and by using 3D prestack depth migration (PSDM) seismic sections and wireline logs, a detailed study of the post-Aptian stratigraphy and salt tectonics of the EMP was undertaken. Eight distinct reflectors were identified based on gamma ray signatures, stratal terminations and isopach trends. Sediment distribution patterns and the relative sea level history of the succession were determined by applying principles of sequence stratigraphy and salt tectonics. Furthermore, two potential plays have been outlined in the post-salt carbonates of the Albian Madiela Formation as well as in sandstones of the Turonian Azile Formation. These reservoirs might have been charged with hydrocarbons from the pre-salt shale of the Melania Formation and/or potentially also enriched from the Albian and Cenomanian shales. For these post-salt hydrocarbon reservoirs to be charged by the pre-salt source rocks, windows within the extensive evaporitic sealing of the Aptian Ezanga Formation were required. 3D PSDM seismic sections attest that diapirism of the Aptian salt unit generated ample hydrocarbon migration pathways from the pre-salt source rocks to post-salt reservoirs. Five well-developed potential salt windows have been identified, two of which have good probability to have facilitated the upward migration of hydrocarbons, because these salt windows are located up dip of oil producing wells. However, even if hydrocarbons are found in the post-salt reservoirs, similarly to the Yombo Field (located offshore Congo, south of the EMP), these shallow reservoirs in the EMP are likely to produce heavy oils due to biodegradation.

Full textAbstract:
The removal of lignin in a Kraft pulp mill, with the aim to utilize the lignin as more value added green product than just firing lignin in black liquor, is possible with a LignoBoost plant. The LignoBoost plant uses sulfuric acid in the process and this results in an increased net input of sulfur to the pulp mills recovery cycle. The sodium/sulfur balance in a Kraft pulp mill is an important factor to be able to run a mill optimal. The increased input of sulfur into the mill when implementing a LignoBoost plant is therefore an issue to address. A too high sulfur/sodium ratio in the Kraft pulp mill is often solved by purging electrostatic precipitator dust from the recovery boiler. The major component of the ESP dust is sodium sulfate. When purging ESP dust from the recovery boiler the mill loose sodium and the need of sodium make-up increases. A large extent of the ESP dust that is not purged is returned to the recovery cycle of the mill via the evaporation plant. If the recycled sodium sulfate could be split and returned to the recovery cycle as one controlled sodium- and one controlled sulfur component or at least split into two flows where sulfur is enriched in one flow and sodium in the other flow, the sodium/sulfur balance would be easier controlled. In this master thesis the split of sodium and sulfur in sodium sulfate is addressed. The aim is to study opportunities to: • Enrich sodium and sulfur in two flows from the dissolved ESP dust, which is normally recycled to the evaporation plant. • Produce one sulfur component and one sodium component that can be utilized in the Kraft pulp mill, especially in an integrated LignoBoost process. • Accomplish this by using an electrochemical split of the sodium sulfate from the ESP dust to generate sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid. To be able to produce one sulfur component and one sodium component from the dissolved ESP dust an electrodialysis with or without bipolar membranes is the method to use decided after contact with Eka Chemicals research and development department and literature studies. An electrodialysis cell produces sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid, from the sodium sulfate solution, that can be used in the Kraft pulp mill. The difficulty by using an electrochemical cell with ion selective membranes is the need of a pure feed to the cell. If a high content of contaminations, such as multivalent ions, is present in the feed solution to the cell scaling can be formed. Scaling leads to shorter membrane life that result in higher operational cost for the cell stack. Due to the multivalent ions in the electrostatic dust a pre-treatment such as carbonate- and hydroxide precipitation removal of the ions is suggested, which results in a decrease of the multivalent ions in the feed solution. In previous work concerning electrochemical split of sodium sulfate the lack of utilization for the produced acid became negative in an economical point of view. The need of sulfuric acid to the LignoBoost plant is an advantage for the economical study. In this master thesis is: • An economical case study for the implementation of an electrochemical cell, electrodialysis with or without a bipolar membrane, in a Kraft pulp mill performed. • A sensitivity analysis performed and evaluated in the aim of addressing the change in payback time due to alternating: Sodium price Membrane life Utilization of the acid produced from the electrochemical cell. The economical case study concerns a Kraft pulp mill with a LignoBoost plant. Utilization of the acid to the LignoBoost- and tall oil plant is varied, as is the membrane life for the cell stack. The membrane life is varied due to the difficulty of predicting the ESP-feed solutions affect on the membranes. The feed solution has to be tested in a cell to decide the real life for the membrane in this case. The electrodialysis cell with bipolar membranes indicates promising economical gain for future implementation in a mill with LignoBoost lignin removal compared to the electrodialysis cell that indicates no economical gain for future implementation in a mill. For a mill with both a LignoBoost plant and a tall oil plant, i.e. optimized utilization of acid from the electrodialysis with bipolar membrane, and a five years membrane life in the cell, a payback of one and a half year can be reached. The same case but for an electrodialysis results in nine and a half payback years. The sensitivity analysis show that compared to the electrodialysis with bipolar membrane, the electrodialysis cell is more vulnerable to changes for the acid utilization, sodium hydroxide price and membrane life. The BME cell is most affected by changes in the sodium hydroxide price and the ED cell affects most by changes in the membrane life.

Sem perder de vista o objetivo principal do Programa Mestrado em Letras em Rede Nacional (PROFLETRAS), capacitar professores de Língua Portuguesa para o exercício da docência no Ensino Fundamental, pretendemos contribuir com práticas pertinentes ao ensino de diferentes gêneros orais e escritos, com foco nas produções de texto solicitadas no vestibular Enem, contribuindo para a democratização de acesso às diferentes possibilidades oferecidas a partir desse exame e para a melhoria da qualidade do ensino no país. Seguindo os preceitos dos PCNs e do Currículo do Estado de São Paulo, adotou-se a língua como objeto de estudo da disciplina de Língua Portuguesa, assim como as concepções de gênero apoiadas em Bakhtin (2003), Marchuschi (2005,2008). Em relação à organização do trabalho pedagógico, apoiados nas orientações de Schneuwly e Dolz (2004) e Bronckart (1999), planejamos uma sequência didática para a produção de texto nos moldes do Enem em uma turma de 8º ano do Ensino Fundamental, cuja validação ocorreu pela análise das competências avaliadas pelo INEP e pelo cotejamento de resultados do mesmo trabalho em uma turma às vésperas do vestibular Enem de 2016, revelando a viabilização da atividade com alunos das séries finais do Ensino Fundamental. Para melhor entendermos as características que possivelmente trariam singularidade ao modelo sugerido pelo Inep, recorremos ao Guia do Participante, ao postulado por Marchuschi sobre o gênero redação de vestibular, de Brakling (2000), de Koche, Boff e Marinello (2014), Costa (2009), Baltar (2007) e Abaurre (2007). Para a discussão de cada uma das competências avaliadas pelo Enem, buscamos o entendimento em Neves (2011), Castilho (2012), Bagno (2011,2014), Aquino (2005) e Koch (2016). Os resultados da pesquisa demonstram que há uma relação direta entre a sequência didática apresentada para o Ensino Fundamental e os textos pretendidos pelo Inep, confirmando a hipótese de que o Enem apresenta características próprias para suas produções textuais que devem ser levadas em consideração nas práticas docentes desde o Ensino Fundamental, em consonância ao ensino de outros gêneros orais e escritos importados pela escola em sua prática cotidiana do ensino da compreensão e produção dos gêneros. Houve ganhos no entendimento de que os alunos escrevem melhor quando apresentados às situações simuladoras da realidade de produção das propostas do Enem, que apontam para uma necessidade de incorporação dessa prática aos materiais didáticos para as séries finais do Ensino Fundamental.This research has the aim of investigating the characteristics of text output in ENEM. (National Secondary Education Exam) , analyzing to what extent the commands for the elaboration of these texts provide he emergence of a gender in the school sphere for this purpose and how some teaching practices can contribute to a textual production of teaching that meets the demand of this entrance exam, since the elementary school (Ensino Fundamental). Without leaving apart the main objective of the Master Degree in Languages in National Network PROFLETRAS making teachers of Portuguese Language capable of teaching at elementary school, we intend to contribute with suitable practices to the teaching of different oral and written genders, focusing on the text productions requested in ENEM exam, contributing to the democratization of access to different possibilities offered from this exam and to the improvement of the teaching quality in the country. Following the precepts of the PCNs and the curriculum of the state of São Paulo, the language was adopted as an object of study in the Portuguese Language discipline,as well as the conceptions of gender supported by Bakhtin (2003), Marchuschi (2005,2008). Regarding the organization of the pedagogical essay, based on Schneuwly guidelines and Dolz (2004) and Bronckart (1999), We planned a didactic sequence for the text production using the ENEM templates for a group of students from the eighth grade of elementary school, whose validation occurred by the analysis of skills evaluated by INEP and by the read-back with the same work results with a group of students ready to take the ENEM entrance exam in 2016,showing the viability of the activity with the students of the final grades of elementary school (E.F.).For a better understanding of the characteristics that might possibly bring uniqueness to the model suggested by INEP, we recurred to the Participant Guide (Guia do Participante), to the postulated guide by Marchuschi about gender writing exam, to Brakling (2000), Koche, Boff and Marinello (2014), Costa (2009),Baltar (2007) and Abaurre (2007). For the discussion of each of the skills evaluated by ENEM, we searched for the understanding in Neves (2011), Castilho (2012), Bagno (2011,2014), Aquino (2005) and Koch (2016). The results of the research show that there is a direct relationship between the didactic sequence shown for the elementary school and the intended texts by INEP, confirming the hypothesis that ENEM presents its own characteristics for the textual productions that must be taken into account in teaching practices from the elementary school(E.F.) in accordance to the teaching of other oral and written genres imported by the school in its daily teaching practice comprehension and production of genres. There were expressive results on the understanding that students write better when they are faced to situations that simulate the reality of the productions of the ENEM proposals, which point to a need of incorporation of such practice in the teaching materials for the final grades of elementary school.

Chadwick, Megan. "Fetal programming of sheep for production on saltbush." University of Western Australia. School of Animal Biology, 2009. http://theses.library.uwa.edu.au/adt-WU2010.0033.
Full textAbstract:
[Truncated abstract] Saltbush is one of the few types of forage that will grow on salt affected land but, sheep struggle to maintain weight when grazing saltbush mainly because of its high salt content. Therefore, a strategy to improve salt tolerance of sheep would be beneficial to the profitable use of revegetated saline land. This could be done by manipulating the dietary salt load of pregnant or lactating ewes which could 'program', or permanently alter the physiology of their offspring to allow them to cope better with a high-salt diet as adults. When rat dams consume a high amount of salt during pregnancy, the salt balance mechanisms of their offspring are 'programmed' due to suppression of the offspring's renin-angiotensin system in early development. If this occurs in offspring from ewes grazing saltbush, beneficial adaptations may be programmed in these offspring which could allow them to better cope with the high-salt content of saltbush. I tested the general hypothesis that offspring born to ewes that consumed a high-salt or saltbush diet from mid-pregnancy to early lactation would have an increased capacity to cope with salt that would allow them gain weight when grazing saltbush in later life. To test this hypothesis, I pair-fed ewes either a high-salt diet (14% NaCl) or control diet (2% NaCl) in an animal house from day 60 of gestation until day 21 of lactation. During the same period, I also conducted a field experiment where ewes grazed on saltbush (supplemented with barley) or on pasture (supplemented with lupins). ... This led to the high-salt offspring retaining more salt than control animals. In contrast, the renin activity of saltbush was consistently lower than pasture offspring which allowed them to excrete salt more rapidly. In experiment three, the saltbush offspring gained tissue weight after grazing saltbush for 8 weeks, whereas the offspring in the other three treatments lost weight. High-salt and saltbush offspring also had higher greasy fleece weights at 22 months of age than their respective control groups. Feeding saltbush to ewes from mid-pregnancy to early lactation induces physiological adaptations in their offspring that allow them to cope better with salt and gain weight when grazing saltbush as adults, supporting my hypothesis. However, contrary to expectations, the high-salt offspring did not gain weight when grazing saltbush because their physiological adaptations, such as salt retention, did not allow them to cope better with a salt load. The reason that saltbush offspring showed different adaptations to highsalt offspring is likely to be because saltbush contains not only NaCl but also high amounts of other minerals such as potassium, and other plant compounds, which may influence the adaptive responses of the offspring. This research has direct implications for farmers because it shows they could utilize otherwise unproductive saltland by grazing pregnant ewes on saltbush to 'program' their offspring to gain weight when they graze saltbush later in life.

The liquor market is consider-ably influenced by government legislation and the state of the economy, hence companies operating within the liquor market are challenged with improving productivity in a changing environment. In order to facilitate productivity improvement, sales and production requirements need to be ascertained. The objective of this thesis is to design personal computer- based sales forecasting planning system that will aid a brewery productivity and minimise costs, through an integrated and production to maximise an ability to accurately forecast beer sales and translate such forecasts into efficient production plans. Fundamental to ensuring that the optimum production scenario is achieved is the need to generate a number of production scenarios for comparative purposes. To this end, the sales forecasting and production planning systems must be fully integrated, thereby allowing for the efficient generation of "what if" type analyses.

En el siguiente trabajo de investigación se busco en primera instancia saber como está el mercado actual de venta por catálogo para comprender cuales son las barreras de crecimiento que tienen para migrar hacia una venta más digital, en este caso hacia el comercio electrónico a personas que hayan comprado por catálogo de Lima Metropolitana.
Con la finalidad de resolver y entender el problema, se realizó un estudio explicativo de tipo no experimental a través de un método mixto, usando dos enfoques: cualitativo y cuantitativo. Las herramientas utilizadas en la primera parte fueron entrevistas a profundidad con especialistas y focus group a usuarios frecuentes de compra por catálogo. Para la segunda parte, se encuesto a 250 personas del público analizado.
La investigación dio resultados interesantes y bastante importantes para la toma de decisión, así como de próximas estrategias que podrían tomar las empresas de venta por catálogo para aplicar en un futuro, por otro lado, se dio a conocer la importancia de las asesoras de ventas dentro de este modelo de venta, si bien este mercado ha decaído la propuesta es investigar nuevas plataformas que potencien a este mercado como uno de lo mas productivos del país.
La importancia de haber realizado esta investigación parte de dar un panorama mas amplio y la posibilidad de dar a las empresas de venta por catalogo estrategias y foco a nuevas plataformas digitales para crear mayor relación marca-consumidora con la asesora de venta y generar mayores ventas con el usuario. Finalmente, crear una empresa mas digital y mas moderna.In the following research work, we sought in the first instance to know how the current market for catalog sales is to understand what are the growth barriers they have to migrate towards a more digital sale, in this case towards electronic commerce to people who have purchased by Metropolitan Lima catalog.

La méthodologie Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) est caractérisée par l'utilisation de buffers de stock dont le dimensionnement est dynamique et fait appel à plusieurs paramètres. Décider des valeurs pertinentes pour ces paramètres est une étape essentielle pour que la taille des buffers soit adaptée à la demande sans toutefois être trop élevée. Ces travaux de recherche se concentrent sur la mise à jour dynamique de ces paramètres, dans un contexte où la demande varie. Le processus responsable de cette mise à jour est appelé Demand Driven Sales and Operations Planning (DDS&OP). À travers un ensemble d'expériences de simulation par événements discrets, on se propose de comparer le comportement d'un atelier théorique (cas d'école) géré en DDMRP et régi par diverses combinaisons de politiques de paramétrage. Ces politiques ont été tirées de la littérature, mais également d'entretiens réalisés avec des experts du DDMRP. Cet atelier est également soumis à plusieurs types de demandes, de façon à généraliser les conclusions de l'étude. Ces travaux étendent également les expériences à un cas de taille industrielle afin d'évaluer la pertinence et la faisabilité des politiques proposées. Les résultats expérimentaux montrent un intérêt pour le contrôle dynamique de certains des paramètres des ateliers gérés en DDMRP, principalement dans le cas de demandes connaissant de fortes variations. Ils montrent également la possibilité de simplifier la gestion des paramètres en en gardant une partie constante. Enfin, à partir du cas industriel, on envisage la problématique de la nervosité et de la complexité impliquée par le paramétrage dynamique d'ateliers plus complexesThe Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) methodology revolves around the use of inventory buffers. The sizes of these buffers evolve dynamically and need several parameters to do so. Hence, deciding on relevant values for these parameters is a crucial step to make sure that buffers both fit the actual demand and are not needlessly oversized. These research works focus on dynamically updating these parameters in a context where demand may not be stable. The process responsible for such an update is called Demand Driven Sales and Operations Planning (DDS&OP). Thanks to a range of discrete events simulation experiments, we compared the behaviours of a theoretical flow shop under the DDMRP principles with different combinations of dynamical policies for parameter updates. These policies come from both scientific literature and DDMRP experts feedback. In order to reach broader conclusions, we also submitted the flow shop to a range of different demand profiles. This manuscript also challenges theoretical results on an industrial case to test both the relevance and feasibility of the policies. Promising experimental results show that dynamical control of the parameters is suited when demand variation is high. They also hint at the possibility to simplify parameter updates by identifying which of them may be kept contant and in which cases. Lastly, industrial simulations raise the problems of nervousness and complexity for dynamical control of larger cases

Resumo: Neste trabalho, investigo as possibilidades educacionais do conceito de memória na relação com o conceito de história, com a intenção de buscar ¿novas¿ alternativas de ação docente, junto aos alunos. Como professora de história do Ensino Fundamental em uma escola particular da cidade de Campinas trago como preocupação específica a questão da discriminação e do preconceito na relação com a escola e a educação. Como fundamentos teórico-metodológicos utilizo os conceitos de modernidade e de rememoração a partir do diálogo com Walter Benjamin. No que diz respeito ao conceito de história dialogo com o historiador E. P. Thompson.Quanto à educação, o interlocutor fundamental é Vigotski. Estabeleço diálogo com autores que se debruçaram sobre o tema do preconceito e da discriminação a partir dos anos 80 do século XX. Analiso documentos produzidos por alunos do ensino fundamental durante os anos de 2002 e 2003, entre os quais destaco a produção de saberes históricos-escolares relativos à escravidão no Brasil Colônia e as rememorações produzidas por estes alunos, nas quais são enfocadas as percepções acerca das ¿diferenças¿ ao longo de suas vidas
Abstract: In this work, I do research on the educational possibilities of the memory concept, in relation with history concept. The goal of this researching is to seek ¿new¿ alternatives of teaching in the relationship with the students. As a High School history teacher in a privateschool at Campinas city I have a specific worry: discrimination and prejudice in relation to school and education. As theoretical-methodological bases I use the concepts of modernizing and rememorizing from the dialogue with Walter Benjamin. As to the history concept I dialogize with the historian E.P. Thompson. As to education the main interlocutor is Vigotski. I establish dialogue with authors who dealt with the prejudice and discrimination subject from the ¿eighties¿ of the twentieth century. I analyze documents which were produced by students of High School during the years 2002 and 2003. Among these productions I mention the historical-school knowledge about the slavery of Brazil Colony and the rememorizing produced by those students, where the perception about the ¿differences¿ are showed along their lives

Currently, the teaching of Portuguese Language in Brazil is guided by the National Curricular Parameters (BRASIL, 1998), which are based on the theory of discursive genres, preconized by mikhail Bakhtin (2015). This theory constitute, undoubtedly, one of the possible alternatives to diminish the difficulty that many students have, concerning the reading and writing skills, since it permits to improve the discursive dominion of the student, making him able to work effectively in the several spheres of communication of the society where he lives in. Thus, the aim of this work, which presents a qualitative approach, with an interventionist and descriptive nature, consisting of a research - action, is to evaluate the extent to which the didactic sequence procedure with the textual genre Memórias can contribute to the improvement of the writing ability of students of the 9th grade of Fundamental Teaching of a public school in João Pessoa city, Paraiba, as well as giving visibility to the memories of the representative social groups of the social cultural universe in which they are inserted. Therefore, the study started from the conception by Bakhtin (2015), which approaches the language as a way of social interaction and production, and by authors who share his ideas about this theme, such as Marcuschi(2008), and Noverraz and Schneuwly (2004); the proposal of didactic sequence by Dolz, Noverraz and Schneuwly(2004); and the studies about Memories of Ecléa Bosi (1998), Jacques Le Goff (1990) and Halbwachs (1990), among others. The analyses of the results show us that the intervention accomplished through the proposed didactic sequence makes it possible, not only to support the student to improve the writing of the Memory gender, as well as to make him know and rescue social cultural values of his comunities, through his memories reminded by people who surround him, which contribute, according to Le Goff.(1990), to the affirmative of the individual and collective identity.
Atualmente, o ensino de Língua Portuguesa no Brasil é norteado pelos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (BRASIL, 1998), que são fundamentados pela teoria dos gêneros discursivos, preconizada por Mikhail Bakhtin (2015). Essa teoria constitui, indiscutivelmente, uma das possíveis alternativas para minimizar a dificuldade que muitos alunos apresentam em relação às habilidades de leitura e produção escrita, uma vez que permite ampliar o domínio discursivo do aluno, tornando-o apto a atuar efetivamente nas diversas esferas de comunicação da sociedade em que vive. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho, que apresenta uma abordagem qualitativa, com natureza intervencionista e descritiva, constituindo-se numa pesquisa-ação, é avaliar até que ponto o procedimento sequência didática com o gênero textual Memórias pode contribuir para o aprimoramento da habilidade de produção escrita de alunos do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública do município de João Pessoa-PB, bem como para dar visibilidade às memórias de grupos sociais representativos do universo sociocultural no qual estão inseridos. O estudo partiu, portanto, da concepção de gênero de Bakhtin (2015), que trata a linguagem como um modo de interação e produção social, e de outros estudiosos que compartilham de suas ideias sobre esse tema, como Marcuschi (2008), e Noverraz e Schneuwly (2004); da proposta sequência didática de Dolz, Noverraz e Schneuwly (2004); e dos estudos sobre Memórias de Ecléa Bosi (1988), Jacques Le Goff (1990) e Halbwachs (1990), entre outros. A análise dos resultados nos mostra que a intervenção realizada através da sequência didática proposta possibilitou não apenas instrumentalizar o aluno para melhorar a escrita do gênero Memórias, como também o fez conhecer e resgatar valores socioculturais de suas comunidades, através das lembranças rememoradas por pessoas de seu convívio familiar, o que contribui, segundo Le Goff. (1990), para a afirmação da identidade individual e coletiva.

Full textAbstract:
Die Landwirtschaft ist heute der wichtigste Treiber der globalen Degradation von Ökosystemen. Es existiert jedoch wenig konkretes Wissen, wie Ökosysteme zu schützen sind und gleichzeitig die Nahrungsproduktion für die wachsende Weltbevölkerung gesichert werden kann. In dieser Dissertation untersuche ich Optimierungsmöglichkeiten im landwirtschaftlichen Wassermanagement. Ich quantifiziere praxisorientierte Verbesserungen der Regenwassernutzung und Optimierungen von Bewässerungssystemen, unter Einhaltung der „environmental flow requirements“ (EFRs). Um diese komplexen Interaktionen zu untersuchen, entwickle ich ein agro-hydrologisches Modell auf Basis detaillierter, mechanistischer Prozessabbildung weiter. Erstens, 39% der derzeitigen Wasserentnahmen für Bewässerung sind nicht nachhaltig und somit auf Kosten der Ökosysteme. Zweitens, solche lokalen Wasserentnahmegrenzen legen nahe, dass die globale Grenze für den menschlichen Wasserverbrauch deutlich niedriger liegt, als bisher angenommen (2800 vs 4000 km3yr-1). Drittens, die Implementierung von EFRs würde die landwirtschaftliche Produktion erheblich beeinträchtigen, mit >20% in stark bewässerten Gebieten. Verbesserte Nutzung des Niederschlagswassers und die Optimierung von Bewässerungssystemen, können die weltweite Nahrungsmittelproduktion allerdings um rund 40% nachhaltig steigern - ausreichend, um die Nahrungsmittellücke der wachsenden Weltbevölkerung bis 2050 zu halbieren. Zusammenfassend stellt diese Arbeit die erste umfassende und systematische Einschätzung globaler Potentiale der nachhaltigen Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft aus der Wasserperspektive dar. Die in dieser Arbeit vorgebrachten innovativen und quantitativen Erkenntnisse legen nahe, dass das Potential der diskutierten Interventionen höhere politische Aufmerksamkeit erfahren sollte. Meine Ergebnisse können eine konkretere Diskussion zur Umsetzung der Sustainable Development Goals untermauern.Agriculture is today''s most important driver of ecosystem degradation across scales. However, there is little evidence on how to attain the historic twin-challenge of maintaining environmental integrity while producing enough food for a growing world population. In this thesis, I assess opportunities in agricultural water management to reconcile future food needs with environmental limits to water use. I explore solution-oriented ways to improve rainfed and irrigation systems alike, while safeguarding environmental flows (EFRs). To study complex interactions quantitatively, I advanced a state-of-the-art global modeling framework based on detailed, mechanistic process representation. First, a systematic upscaling of EFRs to global coverage indicates that 39% of current freshwater withdrawals for irrigation are unsustainable and occur at the cost of ecosystems. Second, accounting for EFRs indicates that the planetary boundary for freshwater use might be notably lower (2800 vs. 4000 km3yr-1) than expected. Third, maintaining EFRs would significantly affect food production, cutting >20% of total kcal production across intensely irrigated areas. Fourth, improving irrigation systems in combination with optimizing the use of precipitation water, provides effective and accessible measures to compensate for adverse impacts from protecting EFRs and climate change. Such integrated interventions could sustainably intensify global food production (+40% kcal) to the degree sufficient to halve the global food gap by 2050. In conclusion, this thesis provides the first comprehensive and systematic assessment of hitherto largely unquantified water opportunities in sustainable intensification of agriculture. While requiring corroboration by finer-scale research, the innovative quantitative foundation provided in this thesis suggests that farm water management merits a rise in political attention, and it can inform a more comprehensive discussion of related SDG target interactions.

Full textAbstract:
This is an ethnographic study of a television show titled Esra Erol’da Evlen Benimle (Marry Me on the Esra Erol Show), the most popular of the televised matchmaking formats in Turkey since it premiered in 2007. The marriage show is part of the daytime flow of television broadcasting in Turkey that, as an entertainment format, sets the everyday rhythms of life and provides content for debates/judgements on – as well as being an increasingly popular route to – marriage. I explore the marriage show as a reality show format, which is an outcome of the global flow of media images, narratives and genres. As such, it is a television show that translates the neoliberal imaginary of the self as an aspect of subjectivity in search of survival, security and happiness, into the Turkish context. What distinguishes the marriage show from other reality show formats is that it orients the self towards the desire and expectation to get married as a means of survival. To explore marriage as an orientation of the self through television, I contextualise the show within the contemporary practices, policies and debates of the family in Turkey. By deploying the concept of frame, I investigate how the format is produced by normatively framing the narratives of the participants as marriageable subjects, while also registering the show as a quality program which is seriously dedicated to marrying people within the norms and conventions of marriage in Turkey. Taking the production space of the marriage show as the field of research, and female subjectivity as the particular focus, this study is an endeavour to show how practices, tensions and sensibilities pertaining to marriage and family in Turkey produce female subjects, bodies, self-narratives and movements across the intense present of television production.

Full textAbstract:
During alcoholic fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolizes L-arginine to ornithine and urea. S. cerevisiae can metabolize urea through the action of urea amidolyase, encoded by the DUR1,2 gene; however, DUR1,2 is subject to nitrogen catabolite repression (NCR) in the presence of high quality nitrogen sources during fermentation. Being cytotoxic at high concentrations, urea is exported into wine where it spontaneously reacts with ethanol, and forms the carcinogen ethyl carbamate (EC).
Urea degrading yeast strains were created by integrating a linear cassette containing the DUR1,2 gene under the control of the S. cerevisiae PGK1 promoter and terminator signals into the URA3 locus of the Sake yeast strains K7 and K9. The ‘self-cloned’ strains K7EC- and K9EC- produced Sake wine with 68% less EC. The Sake strains K7EC- and K9EC- did not efficiently reduce EC in Chardonnay wine due to the evolutionary adaptation of said strains to the unique nutrients of rice mash; therefore, the functionality of engineered yeasts must be tested in their niche environments as to correctly characterize new strains.
S. cerevisiae possesses an NCR controlled high affinity urea permease (DUR3). Urea importing yeast strains were created by integrating a linear cassette containing the DUR3 gene under the control of the PGK1 promoter and terminator signals into the TRP1 locus of the yeast strains K7 (Sake) and 522 (wine). In Chardonnay wine, the urea importing strains K7D3 and 522D3 reduced EC by 7% and 81%, respectively; reduction by these strains was equal to reduction by the urea degrading strains K7EC- and 522EC-. In Sake wine, the urea degrading strains K7EC- and 522EC- reduced EC by 87% and 84% respectively, while the urea importing strains K7D3 and 522D3 were significantly less capable of reducing EC (15% and 12% respectively). In Chardonnay and Sake wine, engineered strains that constitutively co-expressed DUR1,2 and DUR3 did not reduce EC more effectively than strains in which either gene was expressed solely. Uptake of 14C-urea under non-inducing conditions was enhanced in urea importing strains; parental strains failed to incorporate any 14C-urea thus confirming the functionality of the urea permease derived from the integrated DUR3 cassette.
