Resumo: Neste trabalho, estudamos o conceito de estabilidade para folheações. Com este objetivo, usamos um complexo não-linear formado por mapas e variedades na categoria Fréchet Tame. Aplicamos uma variação do Teorema da Função Inversa de Nash-Moser ao complexo não-linear obtendo uma relação entre estabilidade e a exatidão tame da linearização do complexo não-linear. Além disso, o complexo linearizado é identificado com um trecho do complexo de Rham da folheação, ou seja, transforma-se o estudo de estabilidade em analisar a exatidão tame de um grupo de cohomologia da folheação. Assim descrevemos uma família de folheações estáveis, chamadas folheações infinitesimalmente estáveis. Esta família dá uma direção para o estudo de estabilidade de folheações
Abstract: In this work, we study the concept of stability for foliations. With this aim we use a non linear complex formed by maps and manifolds in Fréchet Tame category. We apply a variation of The Nash-Moser Inverse Function Theorem to non-linear complex obtaining a relation between the stability and the tame exactness of the linearized complex. Moreover, the linearized complex is identified with a piece of the complex de Rham of the foliation, i.e., we transformed the stability study into a analysis of tameness vanishing on the cohomology group of the foliation. Thus we describe a family of stable foliations, called infinitesimally stable foliations. This family gives a direction for the study of stability of foliations

This dissertation focuses on studying various network formation games in Economics. We explore a different model in each chapter to capture various aspects of networks. Chapter 1 provides an overview of this dissertation. Chapter 2 studies the possible singed network configurations in equilibrium. In the signed network, players can choose a positive (+) relationship or a negative (-) relationship toward each other player. We study the case that the players are heterogeneous. We find 3 possible categories of networks in equilibrium: Utopia network, positive assortative matching, and disassortative matching. We derive the specific conditions under which they arise in equilibrium. In Chapter 3, we study a generalized model of signed network formation game where the players can choose not only positive and negative links but also neutral links. We check whether the results of the signed network formation model in the literature still hold in our generalized framework. Chapter 4 studies inequality in a weighted network formation model using the notion of Nash equilibrium. In this weighted network model, each player can choose the level of relationship. As a factor of inequality, there are two types of players: rich players and poor players. We show that both rich and poor players choose other rich players as their best friends. As a result, we present that nested split graphs are drawn from survey data because these social network data are censored due to the limit of the number of responses.

Em redes de inovação baseadas em trocas de informação, o agente orquestrador se apropria das informações dos atores periféricos, gera inovação e distribui em forma de valor agregado. É sua função promover a estabilidade na rede fazendo com que a mesma tenha taxas não negativas de crescimento. Nos mercados de análise de crédito e fraude, por exemplo, ou bureaus funcionam como agentes orquestradores, concentrando as informações históricas da população que são provenientes de seus clientes e fornecendo produtos que auxiliam na tomada de decisão. Assumindo todas as empresas do ecossistema como agentes racionais, a teoria dos jogos se torna uma ferramenta apropriada para o estudo da precificação dos produtos como mecanismo de promoção da estabilidade da rede. Este trabalho busca identificar a relação de diferentes estruturas de precificação promovidas pelo agente orquestrador com a estabilidade e eficiência da rede de inovação. Uma vez que o poder da rede se dá pela força conjunta de seus membros, a inovação por esta gerada varia de acordo com a decisão isolada de cada agente periférico de contratar o agente orquestrador ao preço por ele estipulado. Através da definição de um jogo teórico simplificado onde diferentes agentes decidem conectar-se ou não à rede nas diferentes estruturas de preços estipuladas pelo agente orquestrador, o estudo analisa as condições de equilíbrio conclui que o equilíbrio de Nash implica em um cenário de estabilidade da rede. Uma conclusão é que, para maximizar o poder de inovação da rede, o preço a ser pago por cada agente para fazer uso da rede deve ser diretamente proporcional ao benefício financeiro auferido pela inovação gerada pela mesma. O estudo apresenta ainda uma simulação computacional de um mercado fictício para demonstração numérica dos efeitos observados. Através das conclusões obtidas, o trabalho cobre uma lacuna da literatura de redes de inovação com agentes orquestradores monopolistas em termos de precificação do uso da rede, servindo de subsídio de tomadores de decisão quando da oferta ou demanda dos serviços da rede.
In innovation networks based on information exchange, the orchestrating actor, or hub, captures information from the peripherical actors, promotes innovation and then distributes it for the network in the form of added value. Orchestration comprises promoting the network’s stability in order to avoid negative growth rates. The credit and fraud agencies, for example, can be understood as orchestrating hubs, concentrating the historical information of the population generated by their clients and offering products that support decision making. Assuming all the companies of this ecosystem as rational agents, game theory emerges as an appropriate framework for the study of pricing as a mechanism to promote the network’s stability. The present work focuses on the identification of a relationship between the different pricing options that can be proposed by the orchestrating hub and the network’s stability and efficiency. Since the network power is given by the combined strength of its members, the innovation generated is a function of the isolated decision of each peripherical agent on whether to hire the orchestrating hub’s services for the price defined by the latter. Through the definition of a simplified theoretical game in which agents decide whether to connect or not to the network based on the pricing structure defined by the hub, the present study analyzes the equilibrium conditions and concludes that the Nash equilibrium entails the network’s stability. One of the conclusions is that in order to maximize the innovation power of the network, the agents should be charged a price that is proportional to the financial benefit obtained by the innovation generated by the net. The study presents as well a computer simulation of a fictitious market for a numerical demonstration of the observed effects. With these conclusions, the present study fills a gap in the literature on monopolistic orchestrated innovation in terms of the pricing structures of the network connection and its use. It can be used as a basis for decision making both on the supply and the demand sides of the services of the hub.

Texto completoThis work studies some problems related to the caracterization of the rational behaviour in oligopoly strategic interactions. The first part deals with the impact of renegotiation on the consistency of subgame perfect equilibria. We review the main results in the literture about this subject and we examine the possibilities of collusion in finite horizon repeated oligopoly games when players are able to renegociate their actions. In the second part we present the stable set concept suggested by Kohlberg and Mertens. We make use of it in the solution of a two step duopoly game and we compare this concept to other recent refinements of Nash equilibrium

Texto completoThe study of biological membranes involves the examination of the different properties of its main components: as lipids and proteins. In this manuscript, the lipid-lipid interaction and the lipid-protein interaction were monitored by vibrational spectroscopy (Raman and Infrared). We have been interested in the first part in studying the structure and organization of phospholipids in the gel phase and the liquid crystalline phase using mid infrared spectroscopy. In addition, the effect of the head group composition on the hydrogen bonding behaviour of lipid mixtures was probed using far infrared spectroscopy. In the second part, the interaction of the NADH ubiquinone oxidoreductase protein and NuoL mutant (D563N) with zinc was investigated through FTIR difference spectroscopy where the conformational changes upon zinc binding were monitored. Finally, the metal-ligand vibrations of the iron- sulfur clusters in NuoB mutants (C64A G100C) at different pH were analysed using Raman spectroscopy

Desde 2009 que o Governo Português tem vindo a implementar cortes na TSU para alguns grupos específicos, no mercado de trabalho, com o objetivo de fomentar o emprego e os salários. Foram utilizados dados anuais entre 2009 e 2013 dos Quadros de Pessoal e dos registos da Segurança Social, este último com uma frequência mensal. Utilizando a metodologia das diferenças-nas-diferenças (DID), foram analisadas as recentes mudanças no mercado de trabalho Português e estimados efeitos positivos e significativos em termos de emprego. Contudo, existem pequenos impactos negativos nos salários, especialmente em trabalhadores com menos de 45 anos, mas também efeitos negativos na estabilidade do emprego com o uso deste tido de medidas.
This dissertation explores the importance of the payroll tax (TSU) and tries to analyze que following question: What is the effect on wages and employment stability of a reduction in the payroll tax? Since 2009, Portuguese Government have been implementing cuts in the payroll tax for some specific groups, in the labor market, with the aim of boosting employment and wages. I used annual data between 2009 and 2013 from Quadros de Pessoal and Social Security records, the latter on a monthly basis. Using the difference-in-differences (DID) methodology, I analyzed these recent changes in the Portuguese labor market and I estimate positive and significant effects on employment. However, I found not only small negative impact on wages, especially in workers with less than 45 years old, but also negative effects on employment stability with the use of these kinds of measures.

Texto completoO presente trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia de sÃntese e caracterizaÃÃo de caulins modificados quimicamente, partindo de caulins naturais da regiÃo nordeste do Brasil. Os caulins foram modificados atravÃs de procedimentos de remoÃÃo da matÃria orgÃnica, obtenÃÃo de forma sÃdica, obtenÃÃo de forma amoniacal, obtenÃÃo da forma Ãcida e intercalaÃÃo com dimetilsulfÃxido. Para caracterizaÃÃo dos caulins obtidos apÃs toda a modificaÃÃo, foram realizadas tÃcnicas de difraÃÃo de raios â X (DRX), anÃlise quÃmica (absorÃÃo atÃmica), termogravimetria (TG), calorimetria diferencial exploratÃria (DSC) e espectroscopia na regiÃo do infravermelho (FT-IR). Os resultados obtidos atravÃs da anÃlise quÃmica e de difraÃÃo de raios â X confirmaram que a composiÃÃo dos caulins era basicamente caulinita e algumas impurezas, tais como, a Mica presente como argilomineral agregado no caulim cinza. AtravÃs dos resultados obtidos de capacidade de troca catiÃnica (CTC), foi possÃvel avaliar e adaptar as metodologias para a obtenÃÃo de melhores resultados. A avaliaÃÃo da estabilidade termodinÃmica do dimetilsulfÃxido intercalado nas estruturas dos caulins foi realizada atravÃs de termogravimetria, tendo como base o mÃtodo de Ozawa, onde a partir das curvas TG nas razÃes de aquecimento 2, 5, 7 e 10oC.min-1, obteve-se o grÃfico da razÃo de aquecimento pelo recÃproco da temperatura, depois realizou-se regressÃo linear, em seguida obteve-se o coeficiente angular(B), que quando substituÃdo na expressÃo: ?E = -18,2045.B, obtÃm-se a energia de ativaÃÃo, sendo esta um parÃmetro termodinÃmico fundamental na avaliaÃÃo da estabilidade. O dimetilsulfÃxido intercalado na estrutura do caulim branco demonstrou valores mais expressivos de energia de ativaÃÃo (Ea) em relaÃÃo ao intercalado no caulim cinza, denotando assim uma maior estabilidade termodinÃmica, podendo dessa forma ser considerado um melhor material de partida na obtenÃÃo de adsorventes de maior eficiÃncia.
The present work presents the development of a synthesis methodology and characterization of kaolins modified chemically, leaving of natural kaolins of the northeast area of Brazil. The kaolins were modified through procedures of removal organic matter, obtaining in a sodic way, obtaining of form amoniacal, obtaining in the acid way and collation with dimethylsulfoxide. For characterization of the kaolins obtained after all the modification, techniques of XâRay diffraction (DRX), chemical analysis (atomic absorption), thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and infrared absorption spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results obtained through the chemical analysis and of XâRay diffraction confirmed that the composition of the kaolins was basically kaolinite and some sludges, such as, present Mica as clay mineral joined in the gray kaolin. Through the obtained results of capacity of change cationic (CTC), it was possible to evaluate and to adapt the methodologies for the obtaining of better results. The evaluation of the thermodynamic stability of the dimethylsulfoxide inserted in the structures of the kaolins it was accomplished through thermogravimetry, tends as base the method of Ozawa, where starting from the curves TG in the reasons of heating 2, 5, 7 and 10oC.min-1, it was obtained the graph of the heating reason by the reciprocal of the temperature, later he/she took place lineal regression, soon after it was obtained the coefficient angular(B), that when substituted in the expression: ? E = -18,2045.B, it is obtained the activation energy, being this a fundamental thermodynamic parameter in the evaluation of the stability. The dimethilsulfoxide inserted in the structure of the white kaolin it demonstrated more expressive values of activation energy (Ea) in relation to the inserted in the gray kaolin, denoting like this a larger thermodynamic stability, being able to in that way a better departure material to be considered in the obtaining of adsorventes of larger efficiency.

Texto completoThe sliding of highways cut slopes verified between Jarinu and Campo Limpo Paulista, both in São Paulo state, region are originated of action ensemble of weathering, relicts structures presence, geometric and the constructive characteristics. Among them, the relict structures (foliation and fractures) perform the very important hole, because the sliding is effective when there is incompatibility between spacial attitudes of structures and the geometry of cut slopes. In the great number, the geometry of cut slopes facility the sliding, mainly when the slopes surface is parallel or sub parallel to foliation, diverging to the highway bed. The investigation of structures together with remote sensing images enables the elaboration of a geometrical analysis, applicable in outcrop scale, as geological structures in any scale, ranging from microscopical up to regional, have common features. The mapping of joints and foliation were made and well-defined sectors were separated, on the basis of different foliation attitudes. Stereographic nets were made for all slopes studied and the efficiency of graphical stability analysis in saprolitos was estimated, where there is a significant action of erosion processes. Lastly, the possibility of slides and erosional processes within the several sectors is evaluated, along three possible different highway directions. The predicted results, based on regional data, are compared to field data, obtained in the slopes, in order to confirm the applicability of the method under investigation.

Texto completoNowadays one of peculiarities of the liberalized airline market is a huge divergence of ticket prices for the same flights. Mostly it reflects the companies' being unable to easily change the volumes of production or/and store them. The development and use of the yield management models (seat allocation models) have centered on airlines offering a variety of different types of fares for travel on the same flight. The goal of this dissertation is to construct a number of economic models to explain the price dispersion on the airline market from the different points of view. In Part 3, I create a direct price mode! which explains how different product and consumer characteristics influence the price level. It is shown how different attributes like the moment of ticket reservation, ticket class, weekday of the departure and number of coupons define the price and how it corresponds to the consumer characteristics (gender, income, age, etc.). Part 4 is devoted to the differences of the price level from the competition point of view. In a strategic game where firms compete against each other the set of rationalizable strategies for each player entails ail the best responses to the others' decisions. This chapter proposes an empirical test of the existence of the unique Nash equilibrium in a Cournot oligopoly. In Part 5 I treat an airline passenger market as a market with the product differentiation and apply a multinomial logit model to calculate price elasticities. The logit model (with a special focus on the consumers heterogeneity) estimates how the different product characteristics influence the market shares

Texto completoThe genera Corymbia and Eucalyptus although used by industries face limitations such as high levels of growth stresses, drying problems and high shrinkage. Thus, methods such as heat treatment are studied to improve these properties. The objective of this research was to study the effect of heat treatment on physical and mechanical properties of wood of Corymbia citriodora and Eucalyptus saligna. From each species 3 trees were sampled, with approximately 40 years of age, which were sectioned with the first two logs in lengths of 3 meters each. The heat treatment was applied with final temperature of 140 º C, 160 º C and 180 º C for 2.5 hours using an oven with forced air circulation. To determine the physical and mechanical properties there were used the procedures of ASTM D 143-94 (ASTM, 2000) and NBR 7190 (ABNT, 1997). The physical properties analyzed were the equilibrium moisture content, weight reduction, loss of density, swelling coefficient, total (linear and volumetric) and coefficient of anisotropy. Mechanical properties evaluated were modulus of elasticity (MOE) and rupture (MOR) in bending, compression parallel to grain and impact resistance. The results, in general, demonstrated for all physical properties that the heat treatment is effective in reducing the hygroscopicity and increasing dimensional stability of both species, with best results in treatments with higher temperatures. The results of the mechanical properties have shown that impact resistance for both species was reduced compared to control in all treatments. The test results static bending, for both species, increased in temperature of 140 ° C and decreased at temperatures of 160 º C and 180 º C. Compression parallel to the grain in wood of Corymbia citriodora increased with heat treatment at temperature of 140 ° C and presented a reduction at other temperatures. The wood of Eucalyptus saligna, the evaluation of compression parallel to the grain, presented a decrease in strength with increasing temperature. In accordance with the results of the study the thermally treated material can be used in places where humidity is higher, however it is not suitable for structural use, because its strength is reduced with increasing temperature.
Os gêneros de Corymbia e Eucalyptus apesar de utilizados pelas indústrias enfrentam limitações como altos níveis de tensões de crescimento, problemas de secagem e alta retratibilidade. Dessa forma, métodos como o tratamento térmico são estudados para melhorar essas propriedades. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi estudar o efeito do tratamento térmico nas propriedades físicas e mecânicas da madeira de Corymbia citriodora e Eucalyptus saligna. Foram amostradas 3 árvores de cada espécie, com aproximadamente 40 anos de idade, as quais foram seccionadas as duas primeiras toras com comprimento de 3 metros cada. Para o tratamento térmico foram aplicadas temperaturas finais de 140ºC, 160ºC e 180ºC, durante 2,5 horas, utilizando estufa com circulação de ar forçada. Para a determinação das propriedades físicas e mecânicas foram utilizados os procedimentos estabelecidos nas normas ASTM D 143-94 (ASTM, 2000) e NBR 7190 (ABNT, 1997). As propriedades físicas avaliadas foram umidade de equilíbrio, redução de massa, perda de massa específica, coeficiente de inchamento total (linear e o volumétrico) e coeficiente de anisotropia. As avaliações de resistência mecânica foram realizadas pelo módulo de elasticidade (MOE) e ruptura (MOR) em flexão estática, compressão paralela às fibras e resistência máxima ao impacto. Os resultados, em linhas gerais, demonstraram para todas as propriedades físicas avaliadas que o tratamento térmico é eficiente na redução da higroscopicidade e aumento da estabilidade dimensional de ambas as espécies, com melhores resultados, nos tratamentos com maiores temperaturas. Os resultados das propriedades mecânicas demonstraram que a máxima resistência ao impacto, para ambas as espécies, foi reduzida em relação à testemunha em todos os tratamentos. Os resultados do ensaio de flexão estática, para as duas espécies, teve um aumento na temperatura de 140ºC e diminuiu nas temperaturas de 160ºC e 180ºC. Para a compressão paralela as fibras a espécie Corymbia citriodora teve aumento na temperatura de 140ºC, reduzindo nas demais temperaturas. A espécie de Eucalyptus saligna, na avaliação da compressão paralela as fibras, reduziu com o aumento da temperatura. De acordo, com os resultados do estudo o material tratado termicamente pode ser utilizado em locais com umidade mais elevadas, entretanto não sendo indicado para uso estrutural, pois sua resistência é reduzida com o aumento da temperatura.

Texto completoPinhão is the Parana pine seed (Araucaria angustifolia), which grows naturally in the southern states of Brazil, and is usually consumed cooked during the harvest season. There are some studies with pinhão, but there are a few efforts to increase its applicability as an ingredient in the development of new products. The main goal of this work is to use the pinhão components such as starch, flour, phenolic extract of the husk and husk powder, as natural ingredients for the development of innovative products in the pharmaceutical and food industries. This work is divided into two stages: development of topical formulations in the pharmaceutical industry area, and development of edible films in the food industry area. In the first stage, there were developed two types of topical formulations, gel and emulgel with pinhão starch and phenolic extract of the husk. The stability was analyzed through thermal stress cycles, and along six months of storage. In addition, a discriminative sensory analysis was performed comparing formulations with their controls and an analysis of erythema and skin pH through non-invasive probes was also made. Furthermore, possible correlation between physical and rheological parameters of formulations over time through storage Pearson correlation matrix was studied. The results of this step showed that the cosmetic formulations maintained their physical appearance and the pseudoplastic behavior after stress cycles and six months of storage, showing good stability. The addition of pinhão starch kept spreadability and increased the formulations’ viscosity when comparing with their controls. The coat phenolic extract proved to be a good source of phenolic compounds with antioxidant activity, which remained stable even after thermal stress. The formulations showed no signs of skin irritation or pH skin alteration in the studies with human volunteers. The emulgel type formulation was considered to have greater spread ability on the skin and better feeling of peachy film, lower stickiness and perception on the skin after 5 minutes of application, suggesting that the formulation spreads better and leaves no residual sensation on the skin. Through the correlation analysis it was concluded that the higher the moisture content the higher the consistency index, quality index and apparent viscosity and, on the other hand, the lower the flow rate; the greater the average particle size, smaller the consistency index, quality index and apparent viscosity. In the second stage of the work, there were developed edible films based on pinhão starch and flour, with or without grounded pinhão husk addition. Initially, the possibility of the use of glycerol, sorbitol, sucrose and glucose syrup as plastificisers in starch films development was evaluated. The effect of the pinhão starch and sorbitol amounts in the films formation was evaluated through a 22 experimental design with axial points and these variables influence was evaluated by the mechanical properties, color and opacity, solubility and thickness of films. Pinhão starch-based films and pinhão flour-based films with different amounts of glycerol have also been developed, characterized and compared each other to the thickness, water vapor permeability (WVP), glass transition temperature (Tg), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), apparent porosity (Ø), color, opacity, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In addition, the raw materials were analyzed for moisture content, water activity (Aw), apparent porosity and pasting profile. Subsequently, pinhão flour films were developed using the glycerol concentration which is judged the most appropriate from the data previously studied. Different concentrations of pinhão husk were added to the films and the pinhão husk addition influence on the physicochemical properties, morphology by SEM, chemical structure by FTIR, total soluble phenolic (TSP), and antioxidant capacity were analyzed. Finally, a comparison of the film formed from pinhão starch and from commercial starches with different amylose/amylopectin ratio was performed. The commercial starches used were the cassava starch and two types of corn starch with high amylose content, Hylon V and Hylon VII. The films were characterized for density, total pore volume (TPV), color parameters, and opacity, structure analysis by SEM, WVP, sorption/desorption isotherms, mechanical properties, FTIR and thermal stability by thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and they were compared to each other. The experimental design demonstrated that the thickness, solubility, Young’s modulus, maximum stress, elongation at break, and color parameters b* and h presented significant models. Pinhão starch and sorbitol films showed adequate transparency and high solubility values. The film thickness was greater with the use of higher starch and sorbitol concentrations, and higher solubility values were reached in higher sorbitol amounts and lower starch concentrations. In general, the films had low tensile strength, but with a tendency to increase with starch concentration increasing and sorbitol concentrations decreasing. Pinhão starch and flour did not show differences in moisture content and pinhão starch presented lower Aw, Ø, but higher peak viscosity than pinhão flour. Films made with pinhão starch exhibited lower thickness, Ø, WVP and opacity than pinhão flour films, but higher Young’s modulus, tensile strength and elongation at break. In addition, films with higher amounts of glycerol exhibited higher WVP and elongation at break, with lower tensile strength and Young’s modulus. The pinhão flour films structure presented irregularities and were rougher than pinhão starch films. Differences in glycerol content did not affect Tg values of these films. Flour films were yellowish and also had a higher opacity value. The FTIR spectra of pinhão starch and pinhão flour films showed similar IR absorbance patterns, with no structural change in the presence or absence of glycerol. The increase of pinhão husk concentration formed films with greater thickness, porosity, WVP, TSP, antioxidant capacity, Young's modulus, dietary fiber and more intense color parameters for red (a*) and yellow (b*) . The pinhão husk presence decreased the elongation at break and lightness (L*), made rougher films and with imperfections on the surface, visible by SEM images. The intensity of the peaks in the infrared spectrum (FTIR) decreased when pinhão husk concentration increased. The comparison made between pinhão starch films and films made with commercial starches with different amylose/amylopectin ratios showed that this characteristic takes effect only on the film strength and surface tension of the film solution. In general, all the films demonstrated transparency with low ΔE values and opacity, a smooth surface with homogeneous appearance. They also showed Type III isotherm, adjustable by the GAB model, adequate WVP, IR patterns similar to each other and thermal degradation following the same pattern. Finally, through the tests and developed products it can be demonstrate the applicability of the pinhão and create alternatives for the whole seed utilization, reducing the waste generation. In addition, it can be noticed a great potential of seed uses in such products that use starch, flour with lots of carbohydrates, fiber and phenolic compounds with antioxidant activity.

Texto completoAnalysis of protein structures as networks has been shown a powerful tool to understand their properties and to identify important residues. In the network analysis, residues that interact with each other are called connected. Some residues are essential to shorten the connection pathways between distant residues in the protein structure, being called central. Central residues have been proposed to have important roles in catalysis, thermal stability and allostery. In order to experimentally assess the correlation between the residue centrality and its importance in the protein properties, we use two approaches (chapter 1): The first one is to make single mutations at the central residues of a betaglucosidase Sfβgly, changing those residues to alanine. The second one is to perturb a central residue (F251) by changing its environment through single mutations that introduces voids or additional volume. Next, we evaluate how those mutations affect the protein thermostability and function. In general, we have observed (chapter 2) that mutations at central residues reduce the Tm in 2 - 15°C and increase the unfolding rate up to 20 times, suggesting that damages in the central residues make the protein more unstable. Moreover, we have observed (chapter 3) that the perturbation of the central residues reduces Sfβgly catalysis, which seems to arise from the same cause that lead to the loss of thermal stability. Besides that, in chapter 4, the investigation of oligomeric state of Sfgli using SAXS indicated that this protein is mainly a dimer in 100 mM citrate-phosphate pH 6,0, whereas it forms large oligomers, possibly dodecamers, in 10 mM phosphate pH 6,0. In parallel it was shown that Sfβgly undergoes an activation process in 10 mM phosphate and its kinetic parameters converge to those observed for Sfβgly in 100 mM citrate-phosphate. Protein Structural Networks were built considering also that there are links between the polypeptidic chains of the Sfβgly oligomers. We observed 5 residues that are central in all kind of oligomeric structures here analyzed. Three of these residues, E187, P188 and N329, play important roles in the catalysis of this enzyme, and two of them (S247 and N249 are described in this thesis. Lastly, in the chapter 5, we observed that central residues by closeness, betweeness and CΔLp are concentrated at the top of the beta-barrel (C-terminal end of the beta-strands and subsequent loops), suggesting that this region, where the active site is placed, is close, in terms of contacts, to the whole Sfβgly structure. Moreover, we have built the Protein Structural Network of 21 beta-glucosidases of the Glucoside Hydrolases family 1, revealing that the closeness central residues are highly conserved, being located in the active site of these enzymes. On the other hand, betweeness central residues are located in the same sites in the structure of different beta-glucosidases, but they are not always conserved. Shortly, these data experimentally support the hypothesis that the residue centrality in Protein Structural Network is correlated with the protein properties, as catalysis and stability.

Texto completoThe RhoA GTPase signaling pathway acts on many cellular processes. To evaluate this possible RhoA function after stress caused by ultraviolet radiation, mutant clones expressing RhoA in its constitutively active or dominant negative forms were generated. After exposure of the cells to ultraviolet radiation, cell lines showed a higher sensitivity and a delayed recovery capacity when the RhoA activity is reduced. The impaired repair reduced the cells proliferation and survival under RhoA deficiency. In cell lines deficient in NER pathway, we notice that these cell lines, have a further reduced ability to repair damaged DNA under RhoA inhibition.

Texto completoA deriva de produtos fitossanitários é um dos maiores problemas da agricultura moderna, principalmente em cultivos perenes. Ao quantificar esta e outras perdas dos produtos, na maioria dos casos são utilizados traçadores. Devido à importância da cafeicultura no Brasil, e que não há consenso sobre qual é o melhor traçador nestes estudos, este trabalho objetivou avaliar alguns traçadores utilizados em estudos de eficiência da aplicação, além de determinar a deriva gerada pelas pontas de pulverização jato cônico vazio com e sem indução de ar nas aplicações na cultura do café e comparar as curvas com modelos europeus de simulação de deriva. Os traçadores utilizados foram: Azul Brilhante, Blankophor, Fluoresceína Sódica, Rodamina B e Sulfoflavina Brilhante. As características avaliadas nas soluções contendo os traçadores foram: tensão superficial, pH, viscosidade, extração em alvos de papel filtrante e estabilidade à luz solar e à agitação. Na avaliação da deriva ocasionada pelas aplicações em cafeeiro, seguiu-se a norma ISO 22866. Foi utilizado o delineamento em blocos casualizados, com 10 repetições, em esquema de parcelas subdivididas no espaço 2 x 20, sendo dois tipos de pontas e vinte distâncias paralelas à linha de cultivo fora da área-alvo, espaçadas entre si por 2,5 m. A calda foi composta por água+corante fluorescente rodamina B na concentração de 100 mg L-1. Utilizou-se o volume de calda de 400 L ha- 1, aplicado por pulverizador hidropneumático. Dentre as características físico-químicas, somente a viscosidade não foi influenciada pelos traçadores. A maior eficiência de extração em alvo de papel foi obtida pela Sulfoflavina Brilhante, que juntamente com o Azul Brilhante demonstraram ser os traçadores mais estáveis à luz solar. O Blankophor foi o traçador que teve menor estabilidade à agitação da calda. A Sulfoflavina Brilhante mostrou ser o traçador mais adequado aos estudos de deposição de calda e deriva nas aplicações de produtos fitossanitários. Entre os traçadores de baixo custo e maior disponibilidade no Brasil, o corante fluorescente Rodamina B apresentou ser a melhor opção ao se utilizar como alvo papel filtrante. A ponta de jato cônico vazio com indução de ar reduziu a deriva até 20 m de distância da área tratada. A partir dessa distância, ambas as pontas geraram a mesma deriva. As curvas de deriva elaboradas a partir das aplicações pelas pontas de pulverização demonstraram ter comportamentos diferentes, sobretudo na região mais próxima do cafeeiro.

Resumo: Nos confeitos aerados (marshmallow e nougat), a espuma é produzida pela aeração de xaropes de açúcares, estabilizada por proteínas tais como proteínas da clara de ovo (PCO). A pectina, polissacarídeo aniônico, pode formar complexos eletrostáticos com proteína em pH abaixo do ponto isoelétrico da proteína. A hidroxipropilmetilcelulose (HPMC) é um polissacarídeo neutro com propriedades emulsificantes. O trabalho visou estudar as propriedades espumantes (capacidade de aeração e estabilidade da espuma) da PCO na presença destes polissacarídeos em solução aquosa e sistema modelo de açúcares. Na primeira etapa, foram avaliados os efeitos das interações PCO/polissacarídeo nas propriedades espumantes em solução aquosa. Os efeitos da concentração de biopolímeros (2,0-4,0% p/p), proporção PCO:pectina (15:1-55:1) e temperatura (70-80 °C) nas propriedades espumantes no pH 3,0 foram avaliados, utilizando delineamento composto central. Na proporção PCO:pectina 15:1, os complexos eram próximos da eletroneutralidade e com tamanho médio de 95,91+ ou - 8,19 µm, conduzindo para maior estabilidade da espuma quanto à desproporção. Na proporção 55:1, os complexos não eram eletricamente neutros e com tamanho médio de 45,92+ ou - 3,47 µm, resultando em espumas com menor drenagem de líquido e coalescência. Foram avaliados os efeitos de concentração de biopolímeros (2,0-5,0% p/p), proporção PCO:HPMC (2:1-18:1) e pH (3,0-6,0) a 75 °C utilizando delineamento composto central rotacional (DCCR) e do comportamento dos biopolímeros na solução aquosa em diferentes pH nas propriedades espumantes. No pH 3,0, os biopolímeros eram compatíveis, conduzindo a melhores propriedades espumantes enquanto nos pH 4,5 e 6,0, os biopolímeros eram incompatíveis, resultando em menor estabilidade com relação a desproporção. Na segunda etapa do trabalho, foram avaliados os efeitos das interações PCO/polissacarídeo em sistema modelo de açúcares com características de marshmallow (densidade<0,50 g/mL; atividade de água<0,75). A composição da solução de açúcares (42,5% sacarose, 42,5% xarope de glicose e 15% de açúcar invertido) foi definida utilizando delineamento experimental de mistura. Os efeitos da concentração de biopolímeros (1,40¿5,60% p/p) e proporção PCO:pectina (7:1¿63:1) nas respostas foram avaliadas utilizando um DCCR, no pH 3,0. As respostas foram viscosidade aparente da mistura açúcares/PCO/pectina antes do batimento e densidade, overrun, parâmetros reológicos da amostra aerada recém-processada e após 24 horas (módulo elástico G¿, módulo viscoso G" e 'delta'). Na proporção PCO:pectina 7:1, a mistura apresentou baixa capacidade de aeração e uma espuma com característica menos sólida e baixa estabilidade. Na proporção 49:1, a mistura apresentou maior capacidade de aeração e comportamento elástico da espuma. Os efeitos da concentração de biopolímeros (1,4-5,6% p/p) e proporção clara de ovo:HPMC (2:1-18:1) nas respostas das misturas açúcar/PCO/HPMC foram avaliados, utilizando um DCCR no pH 3,0 e as mesmas respostas avaliadas no estudo com misturas açúcar/PCO/pectina. Na concentração de biopolímeros 5,0% p/p e proporção PCO:HPMC 14:1 foram realizados experimentos em diferentes pH. No pH 3,0, foram obtidos maior capacidade de aeração e comportamento elástico. No pH 4,5, a espuma apresentou melhor estabilidade comparada a espuma no pH 3,0. No pH 6,0, a espuma apresentou propriedades espumantes ruins e comportamento viscoso. Portanto, o controle das interações proteína/polissacarídeo é um fator chave para o desenvolvimento de produtos aerados com maior estabilidade física
Abstract: In aerated confectionery (marshmallow and nougat), foam is produced by aeration of sugar syrups and stabilized by proteins such as egg white protein (EW). Pectin, an anionic polysaccharide, may form electrostatic complexes with protein at pH values bellow the isoeletric point (pI) of the protein. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) is a neutral polysaccharide with emulsifying properties. The study aimed at studying the foaming properties (foaming capacity and foam stability) of EW in the presence of these polysaccharides in aqueous solution and high sugar system. Firstly, the effects of EW/polysaccharide interaction on the foaming properties in aqueous solution were evaluated. The effects of biopolymer concentration (2.0-4.0% w/w), EW:pectin ratio (15:1-55:1) and temperature (70-80 °C) were evaluated at pH 3.0, using a central composite design. At EW:pectin ratio 15:1, the complexes were close to electroneutrality and with an average size of 95.91+ or - 8.19 µm, leading to greater stability related to disproportionatin. At ratio 55:1, the complexes were not electrically neutral and with an average size of 45.92+ or - 3.47 µm, resulting in a low drainage of liquid and coalescence. The effects of biopolymer concentration (2.0-5.0% w/w), EW:HPMC ratio (2:1-18:1) and pH (3.0-6.0) at 75 °C were evaluated using central composite rotatable design (CCRD) and the behavior of biopolymer in aqueous solution on the foaming properties at different pH. At pH 3.0, EW and HPMC were compatible leading to better foaming properties whereas at pH 4.5 and 6.0, EW and HPMC were incompatible resulting in lower stability related to disproportionation. In the second part of the study, the effects of EW/polysaccharide interactions on a model system of sugar with characteristics of marshmallow (density<0.50 g/mL; water activity<0.75) were evaluated. For that, a sugar solution composition (42.5% of sucrose, 42.5% of glucose syrup and 15.0% of invert sugar) was defined by a mixture experimental design. The effects of biopolymer concentration (1.40-5.60% w/w) and EW:pectin ratio (7:1-63:1) on the reponses were evaluated using CCRD, at pH 3.0. The responses were apparent viscosity of sugar/EW/pectin mixture before whipping, overrun, foam density and, rheological parameters of fresh foam and foam aged for 24 h (elastic modulus G¿, viscous modulus G" and phase angle 'delta'). At EW:pectin ratio 7:1, the mixture showed low foaming capacity and a foam with less solid character and low stability. At ratio 49:1, the mixture presented greater foaming capacity and elastic behavior of foam. The effects of biopolymer concentration (1.4-5.6% w/w) and EW:HPMC ratio (2:1-18:1) on the responses of sugar/EW/HPMC mixtures were evaluated using CCRD at pH 3.0 and the same responses evaluated in the study of sugar/EW/pectin mixtures. At biopolymer concentration 5.0% w/w and EW:HPMC ratio 14:1, experiments were carried out at different pH. At pH 3.0, the higher foaming capacity and elastic behavior were obtained. At pH 4.5, foam showed better stability than foam at pH 3.0. At pH 6.0, foam presented the poorest foaming properties and viscous behavior. Thus, the control of protein/polysaccharide interactions is a key factor for the aerated products developing with higher stability

Texto completoThe aim of this work was to obtain dried guavira pulp by spray drying, using maltodextrin or arabic gum as carrier agents. Initially, it was evaluated the influence of the process conditions, inlet air temperature (130, 155 e 180) °C and mixture feed flow rate (20 e 40) mL/min, carrier agent type and concentration (10 e 20) % in physical, physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of the product. The analyzed properties were moisture content, water activity, higroscopicity, solubility, distribution and average particle size, morphology, total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity. The inlet air temperature and mixture feed flow significantly influenced all the properties of guavira powder. The moisture content and water activity showed lower values in intermediate temperature, independent of the carrier agent type and concentration. The solubility of the samples with maltodextrin were higher than the samples with arabic gum. Increasing the carrier agent concentration generally resulted in an increase of the parameter L* and a reduction of a* and b* parameters, making lighter samples and reducing the red and yellow hues. The color of the guavira powder presented next to yellow and brown coloring, with great variation in parameters C* and H* depending on the different drying conditions. The size distribution of the particles had no definite pattern and the particles average size of the samples with maltodextrin were higher the samples with arabic gum for the inlet air temperature at 130 °C. However, for the other temperatures (155 and 180) °C there is a specific behavior of the particle size depending of the feed flow rate, carrier agent type and concentration. The scanning electronic microscopic analysis observed that the particles obtained with maltodextrin or arabic gum presented spherical, roughness surface and adhesion of the smaller particles into larger, the particles with arabic gum also presented concavities. The antioxidant activity was higher at intermediate inlet air temperature. From the selected conditions at the first phase (inlet air temperature of 155 °C, feed flow rate of 40 mL/min and 10% of maltodextrina or arabic gum) the guavira pulp powder were evaluated the glass transition temperature, the adsorption isotherms and the storage stability of ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity of the guavira powder produced to over 120 days. The glass transition temperatures were (25,2 ± 2,7 °C e 31,4 ± 0,4) °C for the powder obtained with arabic gum and maltodextrin, respectively. The BET model presented good adjustment (R²>0,99) to describe the water sorption behavior of the samples at test temperatures of (20, 30 e 40) °C. The guavira powder with arabic gum showed higher water adsorption than the samples with maltodextrin. In the stability study, samples were packed in polyethylene-laminated packaging and stored at 25 °C and relative humidity of 75%. The packaging was effective in maintaining ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity of the guavira powder for a period of 120 days for samples with the addition of maltodextrin and gum arabic. The content of phenolic compounds for guavira powder with gum arabic showed a reduction in the first 22 days, but the sample with maltodextrin remained stable for 120 days of storage.

Texto completoThe mechanism by which a cell responds to DNA damage is extremely important. This occurs by a quick activation of the DNA damage repair machinery, which consists of an intricate protein signaling network culminating in DNA repair. But if the damages are irreparable occurs there is activation of cell death mechanisms. RhoA and Rac1 belong to family of small Rho GTPases, signaling proteins that act as molecular switches cycling between the active state (GTP-bound) and inactive state (GDP-bound). Members of this family are implicated in the control of diverse cellular process such as cytoskeletal remodeling, migration, adhesion, endocytosis, cell cycle progression, and oncogenesis. However, despite Rho proteins are involved in a broad spectrum of biological activities, there is just a few information about their roles in the maintenance of genomic integrity, that is, when the cells are subjected to some kinf of genotoxic agent. To investigate the involvement of the GTPases RhoA and Rac1 in cellular responses to gamma radiation, we generated from human cervix carcinoma cells - HeLa, clonal sublines of RhoA and Rac1 mutants, exogenous and stably expressing the constitutively active RhoA (HeLa-RhoA V14), the dominant negative RhoA (HeLa-RhoA N19), the constitutively active Rac1 (HeLa-Rac1 V12) and the dominant negative Rac1 (HeLa-Rac1 N17). After all these cell lines have been exposed to different doses of gamma radiation, we found that both GTPases, RhoA and Rac1, are activated in response to the radiation effects. Furthermore, the modulation of two enzymes activity, by using the mutant clones, led to a change in cellular responses to the DNA damage, as the reduction in the capacity of repairing DNA single and double strand breaksr. On the other hand, the deficiency of RhoA or Rac1 GTPase led to a reduction of Chk1 and Chk2 activation, or on the phosphorylation of histone H2AX, respectively, hindering the mechanisms of DNA damage detection and arresting cells in the G1/S and/or G2/M checkpoints of cell cycle. These factors significantly contributed to the reduction of cell proliferation and survival, leading cells to death. Finally, cellular assays of DNA damage repair of exogenous DNA by Homologous Recombination (HR) and Non-Homologous End Joining (NHEJ), demonstrated that RhoA inhibition significantly reduced the repair efficiency of both pathways. Thus, this work demonstrates and reinforces the existence of other biological functions of small GTPases RhoA and Rac1 in HeLa cells, by regulating cellular responses to DNA damage induced by exposure to gamma radiation, modulating the survival, proliferation and indirectly modulating the response to DNA damage repair pathway through the Homologous Recombination and Non-Homologous Recombination

Texto completoPurpose: Serum eye drops are used for the treatment of ocular surface disease (e.g. Sicca Syndrome). The objective of this study was to investigate whether they maintain their wound healing potency after a prolonged storage of six months at -20°C and was to find a parameter which can serve as a quality and stability indicator. Design: experimental study Methods: After obtaining whole blood from 10 volunteers and preparation of 100% (AS100), 50% (AS50), 20% (AS20) serum eye drops, epitheliotrophic factors including EGF, fibronectin, vitamin A & E, albumin and IgA were quantified before and after storage for 7 days at 6°C or 3 and 6 months at -20°C. Human corneal epithelial cell (HCE) line were used to investigate proliferation, migration and overall wound healing potency of the cells in response to different serum preparations. Main Outcome Measures: The proliferation, migration and wound healing of HCE were measured after incubation with different serum eye drop concentrations and after different storage conditions. Results: The concentration of EGF, fibronectin, vitamins A & E, IgA and albumin showed no significant reduction over the test period. Proliferation, migration and wound healing of HCE cells was significantly better after incubation with undiluted serum in comparison with diluted serum. No significant loss of cytokine concentration, wound healing and proliferation effect in HCE culture of AS100, AS50 and AS20 could be detected over the 6 months of storage. Conclusion: The concentration of a spectrum of cytokines involved in corneal epithelial wound healing and the epitheliothrophic effect of serum are not significantly changed after a prolonged storage of six months at -20°C. Hence it seems justifiable to provide patients with appropriate freezer capacity with a 6 months supply of autologous serum eye drops. Among the many parameters tested albumin may be due to cost effectiveness and its importance for the ocular surface an appropriate parameter to serve for stability controls

Texto completoA associação de fatores geodinâmicos internos e externos em conjunto com as atividades humanas podem contribuir para alterações na litologia, n a geomorfologia e na presença de água, podendo provocar consequências, por vezes de enorme gravidade como a perda de vidas, interdição das vias rodoviárias, destruição de edifícios e o aumento da pobreza. No trabalho fez-se o estudo e avaliação da estabilidade de quatro taludes (três naturais e um de escavação) localizados na Comuna da Catumbela. O estudo foi realizado com base na cartografia já existente e n o trabalho de campo pormenorizado em que se efetuou o levantamento de parâmetros dos taludes, sendo as famílias das diaclases elementos fundamentais na avaliação cinemática da estabilidade. Este estudo foi complementado com a análise dos fatores que podem afetar a estabilidade do maciço. Aplicou-se a Rock Mass Rating e Slope Mass Rating. A metodologia utilizada mostrou ser eficiente para os objetivos do estudo quanto à classificação do maciço rochoso, à previsão da probabilidade de ocorrência de roturas e às obras de contenção ou estabilização consideradas necessárias.
The combination of internal and external geodynamic factors together with human activities may contribute to changes in the lithology, geomorphology and the presence of water, causing consequences, sometimes very serious, as is the loss of lives, interdiction of roads, destruction of buildings and the increase in poverty. The work deals with the study and stability evaluation of four slopes (three natural and one of excavation) located in the municipality of Catumbela. The study was conducted based on existing maps and on a detailed field work carried out to obtain survey parameters of the slopes. The joint families are key elements in the kinematic evaluation of stability. This study was complemented with an analysis of the factors that can affect the stability of the rock mass. The Rock Mass Rating and Slope Mass Rating were used. The methodology used was efficient for the purposes of the study allowing the classification of the rock mass, forecasting the likelihood of failure. Containment works or stabilization is considered necessary.

Texto completoThe present work is about the impact that the stability and growth pact, due to the instability Europe‟s facing, our country, felt the need to readjust social protection policies, taking the place of social service answers, as well as of the public services of Social Security, the main objective, takes place in the evaluation and measure of the real consequences of SGP in the functioning of the Social Security Services. During the research, we used a mixed analysis, the qualitative analysis was one of the chosen and used approaches, which allowed knowledge more individual and interpretative, we also developed the quantitative approach which allowed us to define and characterize the population as essential elements to comprehend the study in question. We concluded through the results that the comprehension and the answer to the present study opened our eyes to a new social reality where the public services, nowadays in a crisis, face a compromised reality of identity, principles and values. The institutions, namely Social Security, as is actors are unable to give answers to a needed growing and intolerant population. It´s needed to give back the state an image of trust, seriousness and credibility, where Social Service can be redefined, redesigned, finding methods and answers to avois social and personal exclusion..

Texto completoA utilização da madeira em sistemas de fachadas tem vindo a crescer nestes últimos anos devido à arquitetura moderna, pois trata-se de um material versátil e com uma aparência muito interessante. Porém, a sua utilização em exteriores não é a mais aconselhada devido aos principais fatores de degradação da madeira como os ataques biológicos e os ataques atmosféricos. De forma a diminuir estes impactos negativos na madeira utilizada em fachadas, novos tratamentos têm sido desenvolvidos de modo a conferir a este material uma maior resistência aos fatores de degradação exteriores. Apesar de ser uma importante caraterística a ter em conta na conceção, projeto e construção, a durabilidade da madeira não é de fácil quantificação. Existem já vários estudos que visam fornecer dados que permitem prever a vida útil dos elementos de madeira. No entanto, há ainda uma grande necessidade de analisar o comportamento de diferentes espécies de madeira nos mais variados climas. A realização desta dissertação consistiu, numa primeira fase, no levantamento das soluções de fachadas de madeira existentes e na análise dos requisitos estruturais e funcionais impostos pela regulamentação e recomendações sugeridas. No decorrer desta dissertação, foi efetuada uma pesquisa sobre os principais tipos de tratamentos a aplicar nas madeiras, sendo estudadas algumas espécies de madeiras maciças e tratadas. De seguida, procurou-se estudar o comportamento dimensional e a alteração da cor de sistemas de fachadas de madeira ao longo do tempo. Nesta análise, selecionaram-se três espécies de madeira e procedeu-se à avaliação do efeito da aplicação do tratamento térmico. Foram realizados ensaios em três espécies de madeira - Acácia (Acacia Melanoxylon), Eucalipto (Eucalyptus Globulus) e Pinho (Pinus pinaster) – submetendo-as a um ensaio de exposição ambiental e a um ensaio em câmara climática, tendo sido simulados ciclos de gelo-degelo. Aqui, apresenta-se a respetiva análise dos resultados obtidos através destes ensaios, permitindo assim uma comparação dos comportamentos evidenciados pelas diferentes espécies de madeira estudadas.
The use of wood façades systems has been growing during the last few years thanks to the modern architecture since it is a flexible material with high aesthetic value. However, its use outside is not very recommended due to the main factors of wood degradation: biological and atmospheric attacks. In order to reduce these negative impacts on wood used in façades, new treatments have been developed in order to give to wood a greater resistance to external degradation factors to which it is subjected. Despite being an important feature to be considered at the moment at its realization, design and construction, the durability of the wood is not easy to quantify. There are already several studies giving some information which allow predicting the service life of wood elements. But there is still a great necessity of analyzing the behavior of different wood species in several climates. Initially, the realization of this dissertation consisted in the check up of solutions existing in wood facades as well as in the analysis of the structural and functional requirements imposed by regulations and suggested recommendations. It has also been done a research of the major types of treatments to be applied on woods. Species of hardwoods and treated woods have been studied. Secondly, an attempt was done to study the dimensional behavior and the tone changes on façades wood systems over time. In this analysis, three wood species were selected while the effect of heat treatment was assessed. Tests were performed in three different wood species: Acacia (Acacia Melanoxylon), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus), Pine (Pinus pinaster) - subjecting them to a test of environmental exposure and to a test of environmental chamber simulating freeze-thaw cycles. Here the respective results obtained from the analysis of these tests are presented allowing a comparison of the behavior shown by these different wood species.
