Geochemistry of granitoids of the Lalezar area (Kerman, Iran)

The Lalezar granitoids crop out within the Urumiyeh-Dokhtar Volcanic Belt (U-DVB) which is the largest volcanic belt in Central Iran. These granitoids intrude Eocene volcano-sedimentary rocks and range from gabbrodiorites to granites, with dominance of diorites and tonalites. The mineral composition of the most felsic rocks is characterized by the abundance of Na-plagioclase, quartz, alkali feldspar and biotite...

Compostos Organometálicos Contendo Derivados de Tieno[3,2-b]tiofeno com Potenci...

A comutação das propriedades ópticas não-lineares (NLO) é de grande interesse na área da optoelectrónica e fotónica. O conceito de comutação molecular com base nas propriedades de NLO baseia-se na possibilidade de conseguir uma mudança na resposta óptica não linear entre duas formas ('on' e 'off'), desde que essas duas formas moleculares possuam uma grande diferença na magnitude das respectivas hiperpolarizabil...

Multiscale Copper-uDiamond Nanostructured Composites

Nanostructured copper-diamond composites can be tailored for thermal management applications at high temperature. A novel approach based on multiscale diamond dispersions is proposed for the production of this type of materials: a Cu-nDiamond composite produced by high-energy milling is used as a nanostructured matrix for further dispersion of micrometer sized diamond. The former offers strength and microstruct...

Caracterização do comportamento de ligações aço-betão

Os autores agradecem o apoio financeiro da Comissão Europeia através do Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS) através do projecto de investigação Nº RFSR-CT-2007- 00051. ; No presente artigo abordam-se as ligações estruturais aço-betão utilizando uma configuração desenvolvida no projecto RFCS “InFaSo”. Efectua-se uma abordagem sequencial, com caracterização numérica e analítica de partes da ligação e da liga...

Melhoramento do sobreiro para uma regeneração artificial sustentável

O sobreiro (Quercus suber) é uma espécie singular devido à sua importância no funcionamento do ecossistema mediterrânico e na produção de cortiça. No entanto, apesar da sua importância ecológica e sócio-económica, pouco se compreende ainda dos seus processos de adaptabilidade às diferentes condições ambientais. Em algumas áreas do mediterrâneo ocidental, as florestas de sobreiro encontram-se em declínio e a man...

Tuned liquid dampers simulation for earthquake response control of buildings

This paper is focused on the study of an earthquake protection system, the Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD), which can, if adequately designed, reduce earthquake demands on buildings. This positive effect is accomplished taking into account the oscillation of the free surface of a fluid inside a tank (sloshing). The behaviour of an isolated Tuned Liquid Damper, subjected to a sinusoidal excitation at its base, with di...

Early vascular alterations in SLE and RA patients--a step towards understanding...

Accelerated atherosclerosis represents a major problem in both systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, and endothelial damage is a key feature of atherogenesis. We aimed to assess early endothelial changes in SLE and RA female patients (127 SLE and 107 RA) without previous CV events. Biomarkers of endothelial cell activation (intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), vascul...

Polichromatic image sensor with microlenses for stereoscopic acquisition

This paper presents the fabrication of microlenses for integration on a stereoscopic image sensor in CMOS technology and a low-cost technology for fabricating optical filters arrays tuned for the primary colors. The material selected for fabricating the microlens was the AZ4562 positive photoresist and the fabrication process explained. Moreover, the fabrication process presented in this paper is for directly p...

Deep and shallow water effects on developing preschoolers’ aquatic skills

The aim of the study was to assess deep and shallow water teaching methods in swimming lessons for preschool children and identify variations in the basic aquatic skills acquired. The study sample included 32 swimming instructors (16 from deep water programs and 16 from shallow water programs) and 98 preschool children (50 from deep water swimming pool and 48 from shallow water swimming pool). The children were...
