In this study seventeen various relationships between yields of three-month, six-month, and twelve-month maturity negotiable CD's and U.S. Government T-Bills were analyzed to find a leading indicator of short-term interest rates. Each of the seventeen relationships was tested for correlation with actual three-, six-, and twelve-month yields from zero to twenty-six weeks in the future. Only one relationship was found to be significant as a leading indicator. This was the twelve-month yield minus the six-month yield adjusted for scale and accumulated where the result was positive. This indicator (variable nineteen in the study) was further tested for usefulness as a trend indicator by transforming it into a function consisting of +1 (when its slope was positive), 0 (when its slope was zero), and -1 (when its slope was negative). Stage II of the study consisted of constructing a computer-aided model employing variable nineteen as a forecasting device. The model accepts a week-by-week minimum cash balance forecast, and the past thirteen weeks' yields of three-, six-, and twelve-month CD's as input. The output of the model consists of a cash time availability schedule, a numerical listing of variable nineteen values, the thirteen-week history of three-, six-, and twelve-month CD yields, a plot of variable nineteen for the next thirteen weeks, and a suggested investment strategy for cash available for investment in the current period.

This investigation examines the effects of load, speed, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) level and hydrogen addition level on the exhaust gas emissions, particulate matter size distribution and chemical composition. The experiments were performed on a 2.0 litre, 4 cylinder, direct injection engine. EGR levels were then varied from 0% to 40%. Hydrogen induction was varied between 0 and 10% vol. of the inlet charge. In the case of using hydrogen and EGR, the hydrogen replaced air. The load was varied from 0 to 5.4 bar BMEP at two engine speeds, 1500 rpm and 2500 rpm. For this investigation the carbon monoxide (CO), total unburnt hydrocarbons (THC), nitrogen oxides (NOX) and the filter smoke number (FSN) were all measured. The in-cylinder pressure was also captured to allow the heat release rate to be calculated and, therefore, the combustion to be analysed. A gravimetric analysis of the particulate matter size distribution was conducted using a nano-MOUDI. Finally, a GC-MS was used to determine the chemical composition of the THC emissions. The experimental data showed that although CO, FSN and THC increase with EGR, NOX emissions decrease. Inversely, CO, FSN and THC emissions decrease with hydrogen, but NOX increases. When hydrogen was introduced the peak cylinder pressure was increased, as was the maximum rate of in-cylinder pressure rise. The position of the peak cylinder pressure was delayed as hydrogen addition increased. This together with the obtained heat release patterns shows an increase in ignition delay, and a higher proportion of premixed combustion. The experimental work showed that the particulate matter size distribution was not dramatically altered by the addition of EGR, but the main peak was slightly shifted towards the nucleation mode with the addition of hydrogen. Hydrogen addition does not appear to have a large effect on the chemical composition of the THC, but does dramatically decrease the emissions.

Les dystrophies héréditaires vitelliformes de transmission autosomique dominante représentent la 2ème cause de maculopathie après la maladie de Stargardt, maladie récessive monogénique (ABCA4). BEST1 et PRPH2 sont les deux gènes connus associés aux dépôts vitellins. L'étude d'une large cohorte de 88 patients ayant une dystrophie vitelliforme juvénile ou de l'adulte avec un criblage systématique des deux gènes BEST1 et PRPH2 nous a permis d'établir des recommandations en fonction des trois critères : l'âge, l'histoire familiale et le rapport d'Arden. Nous avons ensuite recherché de larges réarrangements (délétions, insertions) dans les familles négatives par MLPA. Deux cas de délétion exonique ont été retrouvés (délétion de l'exon 4 du gène BEST1, délétion de l'exon 2 du gène PRPH2). L'étude de l'exome d'une grande famille (3 générations, 10 sujets atteints) n'ayant pas de mutations exoniques ou de réarrangements, a permis de démontrer l'implication du gène IMPG1 qui code pour une glycoprotéine de la matrice interphotoréceptrice. La même mutation faux-sens hétérozygote a été retrouvée dans deux autres familles. Nous avons ensuite testé son paralogue IMPG2 qui code également une protéine de la matrice interphotoréceptrice. Une seule famille avec une forme modérée de dystrophie vitelliforme a une mutation faux-sens hétérozygote dans ce second gène. IMPG1 et IMPG2, deux gènes de la matrice interphotoréceptrice sont désormais à ajouter à la liste des gènes des dystrophies vitelliformes après BEST1 le gène majeur et PRPH2. / Vitelliform dystrophies represent the second cause of inherited macular dystrophies after Stargardt disease (monogenic disease linked to ABCA4). To date, BEST1 and PRPH2 are the only known genes involved in vitellin deposits. Considering a large cohort of 88 unrelated patients with juvenile or adult form of vitelliform dystrophy and after a systematic screening of both genes, we propose a rational for BEST1 and PRPH2 analysis according to age of onset, positive family history and Arden ratio. The second step was to consider large deletions or insertions in these genes in patients negative for BEST1 and PRPH2. Exonic deletions are rare: one exon 4 deletion of BEST1 and one exon 2 deletion of PRPH2. Whole exome sequencing in a large family (3 generations, 10 affected patients) revealed a hetezogygous missense variation in IMPG1 an interphotoreceptor matrix gene. IMPG1 was the causal gene in two additionnal families. In the same way, its paralog IMPG2 have been tested : only one family with an heterozygous missense mutation was found. IMPG1 and IMPG2 are two new genes involved in vitelliform dystrophies after BEST1 the main gene and PRPH2.

The Blötberget mining area, the focus of this MSc project, is located about 230 km northwest ofStockholm and 12 km southwest of the city of Ludvika (central Sweden). The mining area has beenknown since 1600 for its various types of mineralization particularly iron-oxide deposits (magnetite andhematite) with the mining commenced in 1944. Previous geoscientific research in the area providesdetailed information about lithological variations and structure of the bedrock near the surface.However, knowledge of the depth extent of the mineral deposits and their host rocks is limited. To shedlights on these issues and support deep mineral exploration potential in the study area, within the recentlylaunched StartGeoDelineation project, new ground gravity data, 180 data points on average 150 m apart,were collected during two field campaigns in 2015 and 2016. Aeromagnetic data were obtained fromthe Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) to complement the ground gravity measurement interpretationsand modelling. After a careful inspection of the field gravity data, they were reduced to completeBouguer anomaly with a maximum error estimate of about 0.6 mGal due to uncertainty in theinstrumental drift, slab density, geodetic surveying, diurnal variations and terrain (or topography)correction. The Bouguer gravity data after separation of regional field (second order polynomial at theend was used) were used (~ 8 mGal range) for interpretation and 3D inverse modelling. Clear anomalouszones are noticeable in the gravity data particularly due to mineralization and a major boundaryseparating a gravity low from gravity high in the southern part of the study area likely representing afault boundary separating two different lithological units. In my study, both forward and inversemodelling using rudimentary objects/shapes and voxel-type (mesh) approach were carried out. Effect ofinitial and reference models were tested on both gravity and magnetic datasets. While the constrainedmodels have still significant ambiguity, they help to suggest structural control on the location ofmineralization and may allow estimating an excess tonnage due to the presence of mineralization in thestudy area. Due to access limitations (e.g., unable to measure on the water-filled pit) the gravity modelis sensitive to the measuring positions and constraints using known shape of mineralization was not atthe end successful to overcome this. Collecting more gravity data on the target area and repeated test of3D inversion by adjusting the inversion parameters might help to improve the final result. / Gruvområdet Blötberget som denna MSc avhandling är fokuserat kring ligger 230 km från Stockholm,12 km från Ludvika, i Bergslagen. Mineralförekomster, framförallt järnmalm (magnetit och hematit)har varit kända i området sedan 1600-talet, och storskalig brytning inleddes år 1944. Tidigare geologiskaundersökningar i området har gett detaljerad information om fyndighetens ytnära litologi och struktur.Hur långt ner förekomsten och moderbergarten sträcker sig har dock varit okänt. Som del av detnystartade projektet StartGeoDelineation utfördes marknära gravimetrimätningar. Totalt 180 mätpunkter,med ett medelavstånd av 150 m, samlades in under två fältkampanjer under 2015 och 2016.Vid modellering komplementades gravimetridata med magnetometridata, insamlad under flygmätningarutförda av Sveriges geologiska undersökningar (SGU). Efter noggrann bearbetning av gravimetridatatogs den kompletta bougeranomalin fram. Det uppskattade felet är ca 0.6 mGal och är till följd avosäkerhet i korrigeringar för drift hos instrument, dygnsvariation, geodesi och topografi. Efter korrigeringav regional trend (uppskattad från 2:a ordningens pylonom, och med satt skala av 8 mGal somresultat) gjordes en 3D modell, via inversionsalgoritmer, samt en tolkning. Det står klart av framförallti gravimetridatan att det finns två avvikande zoner. Dessa indikerar mineraliseringen och en gräns i densödra delen av undersökningsområdet med gravimetridata i låg respektive höga värde. Detta återspeglartroligtvis också en förkastningszon mellan två lithologiska enheter. I denna studie har enkla geometriskaformer och voxlar (mesh) använts för bådadera forward modellering och inversionsalgoritmer. Deursprungliga och referensmodellerna testades på både dataset för gravitmetri och magnetometri. Trotsatt modellerna fortfarande visar tvetydiga resultat så kan de ändå användas för att ge förslag på struktureroch läge för mineraliseringen, och skall även kunna användas för att uppskatta tonnage. Det sistnämndakunde dock inte uppnås då punktäthet i mätdatan, till följd av att det numera vattenfyllda dagbrottet intekunde inkluderas i mätområdet, och att formen av mineraliseringen inte kunde avgränsar på etttillfredsställande sätt. För en förbättring av resultaten bör fler mätpunkter till gravimetridata samlas in iområdet så att 3D-modelleringen kan förbättras genom upprepade justeringar av inversionsparametrarna / StartGeoDelineation

O Grupo Vazante hospeda o maior depósito de Zn não-sulfetado, hipógeno, conhecido mundialmente, Vazante (>60 Mton @ 20% Zn), que ainda possui concentrações de Pb e Ag. A Mina de Vazante (VZT) e sua continuidade, a Mina de Extremo Norte (EN), são subdivididas em cinco domínios geo-mineralógicos, sendo três deles pertencentes à VZT: Lumiadeira 1 (LUM1); Lumiadeira 2 (LUM2); Sucuri (SUC) e dois à EN: Extremo Norte 1 (EN1) e Extremo Norte (EN2). Estudos de campo, amostragem sistemática, análises petrográficas e com uso de microscopia eletrônica de varredura, incluindo mineralogia automatizada por Mineral Liberation Analyzer, e microssonda eletrônica, e litoquímicas foram empregadas objetivando caracterizar detalhadamente cada domínio, relacionar aspectos geológicos e mineralógicos e apontar possíveis fatores responsáveis por mudanças na qualidade do minério frente aos processos de beneficiamento. Os corpos de minério de Zn não-sulfetado nas minas VZT e EN são compostos essencialmente por willemita (Zn2SiO4), possuem formas anastomosadas e são hospedados por brechas dolomíticas e subordidamente por rochas metapelíticas e metabásicas e brechas hematíticas. Corpos restritos ricos em sulfetos ocorrem, principalmente, imbricados em corpos de minério willemítico ou como veios e vênulas. Os cristais de willemita apresentam texturas de preenchimento, como coloforme e fibro-radiada (tipo I), de reequilíbrio, como granoblástica (tipo II), ou são finamente granulares e preenchem fissuras tardias (tipo III). Desse modo, registram complexa sequência de processos e condições para a geração do minério de Zn não-sulfetado. Zinco, Fe, C, Ca, SiO2, e Mg são os principais componentes químicos do minério. Na mina EN, o teor de Fe (<26,7%) no minério é, em média, mais elevado quando comparado à mina VZT, presente principalmente na forma de hematita. Chumbo e Ag, co-produtos da explotação de Zn, são principalmente encontrados na mina VZT, nos domínios LUM1 e SUC onde são concentrados em corpos ricos em sulfetos. Elementos terrígenos, tais como Al, K, Rb, Sc, Co, Th e La são positivamente anômalos no domínio LUM2 indicando maior presença de metapelitos no setor sul da mina VZT. Quando associado à metapelito, o minério willemítico pode conter até 15% de Zn-talco, podendo assim refletir em menores recuperações de Zn. Quando hospedado por rochas metabásicas, o principal mineral de zinco pode ser franklinita (<25%), mineral deletério para o processamento de minério. Caso hospedado por brechas hematíticas, característica do domínio EN2, a willemita apresenta-se comumente cominuída e os conteúdos de Fe e hematita podem ser limitantes para o beneficiamento. Em síntese, os resultados desse estudo mostram que cada domínio geo-mineralógico apresenta características específicas. Mostrou-se que espessura, formato e profundidade dos corpos, variação da natureza das rochas encaixantes e substituições minerais afetam diretamente a mineralogia e a qualidade do minério de Zn. Tais fatores refletem processos geológicos e características do ambiente formacional do depósito que podem ser restritos ou mais frequentes em determinado domínio, refletindo assinaturas específicas para o minério estudado, que podem ser espacializadas e monitoradas integrando um modelo geometalúrgico. / The Vazante Group hosts the major hypogene, nonsulfide Zn deposit known worldwide (e.g., Vazante; >60 Mton @ 20% Zn), which also contains Pb and Ag concentrations. The Vazante Mine (VZT) and its continuity, the North Extension Mine (EN), are subdivided into five geo-mineralogical domains, since three belonging to VZT: Lumiadeira 1 (LUM1); Lumiadeira 2 (LUM2); Sucuri (SUC), and two to EN: North Extension 1 (EN1); North Extension 2 (EN2). Field studies, systematic sampling, petrography, scanning electronic microscopy, automated mineralogy via Mineral Liberation Analyzer, and lithochemical analyses were carried out aiming to characterize each domain in detail, connect their geological and mineralogical aspects, and point to possible features responsible for changes on ore quality during ore beneficiation. The nonsulfide Zn orebodies at VZT and EN are anastomosed, composed of willemite (Zn2SiO4), and hosted by dolomite breccias and subordinately by metapelite, metabasic rocks, and hematite breccias. Minor sulfide-rich orebodies occur mainly imbricated within willemite orebodies or as veins and veinlets. The willemite crystals show infilling textures, such as colloform and fibrous-radiated (type I), reequilibrium texture, such as granoblastic (type II), or fine-grained textures, when controlled by late fissures (type III). Thus, willemite registers a complex sequence of processes and conditions responsible for the nonsulfide Zn ore generation. Zinc, Fe, C, Ca, SiO2, and Mg are the main chemical compounds of the ore. At EN, the Fe (<26.7%) and hematite contents in the ore are, on average, higher than those of VZT. Lead and Ag, co-products of Zn exploitation, are chiefly found at VZT, in the LUM1 and SUC domains, concentrated in sulfide-rich bodies. Terrigenous elements, such as Al, K, Rb, Sc, Co, Th, and La, are positively anomalous in the LUM2 domain indicating the influence of metapelite host in the south sector of VZT. In this case, willemite ore may contain up to 15% Zn-talc, related to lower Zn recoveries. If the willemite ore is hosted by metabasic rocks, franklinite, a deleterious phase into processing, might be the main Zn-bearing phase (<25%). If hosted by hematite breccias, characteristic of the EN2 domain, willemite is commonly comminuted and the Fe and hematite contents might be a limiting for beneficiation. The results herein presented show that each geo-mineralogical domain exhibits their own characteristics. Ore thickness, format, and depth of bodies, the nature of host rocks, and mineral replacements affect the mineralogy and quality of Zn ore directly. Those factors express geological processes and characteristics of the deposit environment that may be restricted or more frequent at a certain domain, thus creating specific signatures for the analyzed ore, which might be spatialized and monitored integrating a geometallurgical model.

Orientador: Carlos Gilberto Raetano / Banca: Ulisses Rocha Antuniassi / Banca: Cristina Gonçalves de Mendonça / Resumo: Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito de adjuvantes sobre algumas propriedades de soluções aquosas, como tamanho de gotas, tensão superficial dinâmica e ângulo de contato das gotas em diferentes superfícies, natural e artificial, bem como avaliar o efeito desses produtos sobre a deposição e a deriva utilizando como alvo três espécies de plantas daninhas (Euphorbia heterophylla, Ipomoea grandifolia e Brachiaria plantaginea). Seis formulações de adjuvantes (Antideriva®, Uno®, Pronto 3®, Li-700®, Supersil® e Silwet L-77®) foram avaliadas em soluções aquosas contendo a dose recomendada do produto comercial e o dobro dela. As avaliações de tamanho de gotas foram feitas com três diferentes pontas de pulverização (AXI 110 015, 110 02 e 110 03) por um equipamento a laser (Mastersizer, Malvern) na pressão de trabalho de 414 kPa. Os ângulos de contato formados pelas gotas em duas superfícies, uma hidrofílica (vidro) e outra hidrofóbica (óxido de alumínio), foram obtidos por análise de imagens capturadas por uma câmera digital. As avaliações de deposição e deriva das soluções aquosas associadas ou não aos adjuvantes e contendo o traçador azul brilhante (0,15% v/v), foram feitas sobre diferentes espécies vegetais, e com o auxílio de coletores laterais (placas de Petri). A quantificação do traçador foi por feita espectrofotometria. A tensão superficial dinâmica e o ângulo de contato formado sobre as superfícies adaxiais das folhas foram medidos por um tensiômetro. Em relação ao tamanho de gotas, o adjuvante Antideriva, com dobro da dose recomendada, foi o que apresentou os menores valores percentuais de volume de gotas com diâmetro menor que 100 µm e os maiores DMV, para todas as pontas em teste.

We studied six adjuvants formulations (Antideriva™, Uno™, Pronto 3™, Li- 700™, Supersil™ and Silwet L-77™) in water solution using the dosage recommended by the manufacturer and twice that dose. The droplet size of three different nozzles (AXI 110 015, 110 02 and 110 03), for a constant pressure of 414 kPa, were evaluated by a laser system. The contact angles of the drops in two surfaces (hydrophilic and hydrophobic) were obtained by the analysis of images captured by a digital camera. The evaluation of deposition and spray drift deposition of the solutions containing brilliant-blue dye (0.15 % v/v) were carried out in different plant species. The solutions were collected laterally using Petri dishes, and the brilliant-blue dye content quantified by absorption spectroscopy. The dynamic surface tension and the angle formed on the surfaces of the leaves were measured by a tensiometer. Regarding the droplet size, for all the nozzles tested the adjuvant Antideriva with twice the recommended dose presented the lowest percentage of spray volume in droplets with diameters smaller than 100µm, and highest VMD. The solutions that provided the highest reductions in the dynamic surface tension and the smallest contact angle were the ones with the adjuvants Silwet L-77 and Supersil for both appraised doses. The largest deposit average for I. grandifolia was obtained by using Uno with double of the dose; for B. ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Nenhuma / A Província Uranífera de Lagoa Real (PULR) constitui a melhor conhecida e a mais importante ocorrência de urânio atualmente no Brasil. Abrange uma área de 1200 Km2 e está localizada na região centro-sul do Estado da Bahia. Na PULR, são conhecidas 34 áreas mineralizadas em urânio, distribuídas aproximadamente ao longo de uma faixa orientada N-S com cerca de 30 km de comprimento por 5 km de largura. No extremo norte da região, situa-se a Jazida Cachoeira, única jazida de urânio em fase de produção no Brasil e na América Latina, atualmente sendo lavrada a céu aberto. A jazida apresenta uma extensão de 420 metros na direção noroeste e uma largura de aproximadamente 250 metros. Nessa jazida foram individualizados três corpos principais de minério. As amostras utilizadas neste estudo foram coletadas no corpo 3 da jazida. A mineralização uranífera na PULR está associada às rochas ricas em albita denominadas albititos que são rochas constituídas de plagioclásio, de composição albita a albita-oligoclásio, em porcentagem volumétrica estimada igual ou superior a 70%. Ocorrem ainda, como minerais essenciais: piroxênio, granada, anfibólio e biotita. Os minerais acessórios mais freqüentes são: titanita, apatita, zircão, allanita, magnetita e hematita. Carbonato e fluorita também podem ser observados. O objetivo do trabalho é o detalhamento da caracterização mineralógica e cristaloquímica dos albititos mineralizados e não mineralizados da Jazida Cachoeira, procurando-se pesquisar possíveis diferenças entre eles. Os principais minerais constituintes dos albititos desta jazida foram, portanto, estudados aplicando-se as seguintes técnicas: Difratometria de raios X, Espectroscopia vibracional de absorção no infravermelho, Análise Térmica, Microssonda Eletrônica, além de microscopia óptica convencional. Além desses minerais, foram também estudados microclina (variedade amazonita), natroapofilita, wollastonita e minerais secundários de urânio observados na mesma Jazida (autunita e tyuyamunita). Durante a primeira etapa dos estudos foram realizadas as observações mesoscópicas e microscópicas das amostras. A seguir, foi efetuada a separação mineralógica dos minerais em função de suas características magnéticas e densimétricas, visando-se obter minerais limpos e puros. Esses foram, a seguir, preparados de acordo com a técnica a ser empregada. As técnicas analíticas utilizadas permitiram o entendimento da cristaloquímica dos minerais, obtendo-se resultados confiáveis a partir de pequenas quantidades de material (cerca de 10 mg). Além da identificação dos minerais e da determinação da sua composição, foram também obtidas informações sobre a presença de água nos minerais. A presença de wollastonita (CaSiO3) indica condições de formação sob elevadas pressões litostáticas, sem as quais haveria a liberação de CO2 para a atmosfera. A transformação do U6+ presente na uranila em U4+ incorporado na uraninita implica na oxidação do Fe2+ para Fe3+ que se incorpora na estrutura cristalina de vários minerais da paragênese da uraninita (granada, magnetita, aegirina-augita). Se estas transformações estiverem associadas a zonas de cisalhamento, essas poderão ser reativadas ao longo do tempo geológico. Isto revela que as rochas encaixantes das faixas mineralizadas da PULR são mais antigas que a mineralização e que as futuras prospecções de urânio devem se localizar nas faixas de cisalhamento. O trabalho permitiu a descrição de tyuyamunita pela primeira vez no âmbito da PULR. / The Lagoa Real uranium province is presently by far the most important and best known uranium occurrence in Brazil. With an area of 1,200 Km2 it is located in centralsouthern part of Bahia State. The 34 deposits or prospects are distributed within a N-S 30 x 5 Km area. The Cachoeira open pit mine is in the northern part of the province and is the sole uranium mine in production in Brazil and South America as well. The mine has an area of 420 x 250 m stretching in northwestern direction. Three main mineralized orebodies have been identified. The samples studied were all collected in the orebody #3. The uranium mineralization is hosted by albitites, a rock with over 70% of albite and/or oligoclase. Pyroxene, garnet, amphibole, and biotite are the other essential minerals. Titanite, apatite, zircon, allanite, magnetite, and hematite are the accessory minerals besides carbonate and fluorite. The mineralogical and crystallochemical features of the main albitites minerals were investigated, looking for possible differences and characteristics between uraniferous and barren rocks. The following analytical techniques were applied during the work: X ray diffraction, Infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, microprobe and also optical microscopy. Besides albitites minerals, microcline (amazonite), natroapophyllite, wollastonite and oxidized uranium mineral (autunite and tyuyamunite) were also studied. This is also the first description of tyuyamunite in the Lagoa Real uranium province. All these minerals are from the Cachoeira open pit mine. The studying process started with mesoscopic and microscopic (thin sections) observations. Next, clean and pure fractions of each mineral were obtained using magnetic and/or bromoform separation . Using tiny amounts of each mineral (~10mg) the analytical methods used permitted the determination not only of their composition, including the water content, but the comprehension of crystallochemical characteristics as well. The presence of wollastonite indicates high hydrostatic pressure conditions which prevents the CO2 liberation to the atmosphere. The reduction process of U6+ to U4+ leading to the uraninite deposition occurs simultaneously with the oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ which is incorporated in the crystalline structure of garnet, hematite, and aegirine-augite. As these transformations seem to be related to shear zones, it may indicate an epigenetic model for the U mineralization. The mineral tyuyamunite was described for the first time in the PULR.

A Jazida do Engenho (anomalia 09) está situada ao norte da Província Uranífera de Lagoa Real. A mineralização está associada aos albititos, rochas constituídas de plagioclásio, de composição albita a albita-oligoclásio, em porcentagem volumétrica igual ou superior a 70%. Também ocorrem epidositos mineralizados. Os minerais essenciais do albitito são piroxênio, granada, albita, anfibólio, e biotita. Neste trabalho foi estudada, por inclusões fluidas, boa parte dos minerais (piroxênio, granada, plagioclásio, titanita, epidoto) que constituem a seqüência mineralógica associada à mineralizações uraníferas dos albititos desta jazida. Os fluidos associados a piroxênio, granada e epidoto, aquo-salinos, primários e sem fases carbônicas apresentam características semelhantes, com leves variações. Todos apresentam média a alta salinidade (de 14 a 18% equivalente em peso de NaCl), onde os maiores valores correspondem ao piroxênio e os menores à granadas e epidotos. Os fluidos associados ao metassomatismo sódico, que gerou o plagioclásio albítico nos albititos, embora sejam aquo-salinos e sem fases carbônicas, apresentam salinidades muito inferiores às observadas no piroxênio, granada e epidoto, sugerindo processo de diluição bem mais intensos. Desta maneira, os fluidos da anomalia 09 apresentam uma diluição no sentido das fases minerais mais recentes. Os resultados sugerem que os processos de fomação do piroxênio ocorreram sob condições de pressão equivalente a 3,5 kbar que corresponde a profundidades de aproximadamente 10 km. Entretanto, a dilatação observada nas IF da albita durante o aquecimento, originaram uma dispersão nas medidas de Th, tornando pouco confiáveis os cálculos de pressão para esse mineral. A microscopia de IF em plagioclásios dos gnaisses (encaixantes dos albititos) sugere que, provavelmente, haveria fluidos carbônicos primários associados a esses minerais. Os fluidos com CO2 que aparecem nos gnaisses talvez também estejam presentes nos albititos, provavelmente como fluidos tardios ou intergranulares. Esta suposição baseia-se no fato de ter sido encontrado (durante os estudos de esmagamento nos albititos) indícios da presença de gases carbônicos. Estas tendências sugerem a ocorrência de duas etapas de albitização no setor de Lagoa Real: um associado a fluido composto por H2O + CO2 + sais (na encaixante gnáissica) e outro (no albitito) formado por uma fase aquo-salina. Os dados obtidos neste trabalho sugerem que, provavelmente, o Brasiliano foi um evento térmico sem um fluido predominante associado, pelo menos no setor de Lagoa Real. Do contrário, esse fluido deveria estar presente nos minerais da paragênese mineral. Finalmente, os dados obtidos na Jazida do Engenho permitiram verificar a ocorrência de um quadro de fluidos que apresentam variações composicionais em, pelo menos, três estágios diferentes: Piroxênio magmático &#8594; Px metamórfico associado a urânio &#8594; albita (poligonizada) associada a urânio, faltando posicionar o fluido associado à albita precoce. / The Engenho deposit (anomaly 09) is south-eastern from Cachoeira Mine (anomaly 13), in the northern part of the Province. The uranium mineralization is associated to albitites (over 70% of albite/oligoclase). Epidosites with uranium may also occur. The albitite main minerals are pyroxene, garnet, albite/oligoclase feldspar, amphibole and biotite. Pyroxene, garnet, plagioclase, titanite and epidote are the minerals associated to the uranium mineralization. The fluids related to pyroxene, garnet and epidote are aqueous-saline, primary and with no carbonic phases and are constant, with small variations. They all present medium to high salinity (14 to 18wt% NaCl eq.), the higher values being related to pyroxene and the lower ones related to garnet and epidote. The fluids associated to albite/oligoclase, although aquo-saline and with no carbonic phases, show salinities much lower than in pyroxene, garnet and epidote, suggesting a intense dilution process indicating dilution toward the later minerals phases. The data suggest the pyroxene formation process occurring under a 3,5 kbar pressure condition which corresponds to approximately 10km depth. The dispersion on Th in albites, due probably to the overheating and non elastic increase in volume, precluded a reliable pressure calculation. The IFs microscopy in plagioclase gneiss (albitites host-rocks) suggests the probability of primary carbonic fluids associated to these minerals. The fluids with CO2 showed in the gneiss maybe also be present in the albitites, probably as late or intergranular fluids. This assumption is based on the fact that signs of carbonic gases were shown during crushing tests. These tendencies suggest the occurrence of two albitization phases in this Lagoa Real area: one associated to a fluid composed by H2O + CO2 + salts (in the gneiss host) and another (in the albitite) formed by an aqueous-saline phase. The data indicate the Brasiliano event as a thermal event without a predominant fluid associated, at least in this Lagoa Real area. Otherwise, the presence of this fluid should be present in the mineral paragenesis. Finally, the data from the Engenho deposit indicate the occurrence of fluids showing compositional variations in, at least, three different stages: magmatic pyroxene &#8594; metamorphic pyroxene associated to uranium &#8594; albite (recristalized) associated to uranium. The place of the aqueous-carbonic fluid associated to previous albite is still unknown.

Along with the suggestion for a new period, the term also came technogenic deposit, which features a vast amount of deposits formed as a result of human action. Can be classified as: constructed, induced and modified. This work is held to study the deposits built. More properly, identify and characterize the deposits built tecnogênicos found in the basin of Stream Anicuns in the city of Goiânia - GO and present the implications for the environment and human health. How to offer food abundant and ease of shelter, attract many insects and animals that can spread directly or indirectly many diseases, in addition to degrade the landscape, the soil and contaminate surface water and groundwater. In this study were identified nineteen deposits in the basin of Stream Anicuns, such as the results, these deposits show great diversity of debris, some may take millions of years to decompose, others have substances harmful to the soil and health. The population of Goiânia, is already realizing the impact of these deposits. The resolution of these problems hampered in the absence of educational programmes capable of involving the community and lack of public policies geared to the current urban society. / Através da atividade produtiva, o homem tem atuado sobre a natureza a ponto de ter sido proposto um novo período geológico para caracterizar a atualidade, que seria o Período Quinário ou Tecnógeno. Juntamente com a sugestão para um novo período, surgiu também o termo depósito tecnogênico, que caracteriza uma vasta quantidade de depósitos formados como resultado da ação humana. Podem ser classificados em: construídos, induzidos e modificados. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo estudar os depósitos construídos. Mais propriamente, identificar e caracterizar os depósitos tecnogênicos construídos encontrados na bacia do Ribeirão Anicuns no Município de Goiânia GO e apresentar as implicações para o meio ambiente e a saúde humana. Como oferece alimentação abundante e facilidade de abrigo, atrai muitos insetos e animais que podem disseminar direta ou indiretamente muitas doenças, além de degradar a paisagem, contaminar o solo e as águas superficiais e subterrâneas. Neste trabalho foram identificados dezenove depósitos na bacia do Ribeirão Anicuns, como se pode observar nos resultados obtidos, os referidos depósitos apresentam grande diversidade de detritos, alguns podem levar milhões de anos para se decompor, outros, possuem substâncias prejudiciais ao solo e a saúde. A população de Goiânia, já vem percebendo os impactos desses depósitos. O equacionamento desses problemas esbarra na falta de programas educativos capazes de envolver a comunidade e escassez de políticas públicas atuais voltadas para a sociedade urbana.
