Dentre as más-oclusões mais frequentemente encontradas na infância e passíveis de intervenção precoce, estão as mordidas cruzadas posteriores que normalmente são caracterizadas por deficiência no crescimento transversal do arco superior. Nos casos de atresia maxilar o tratamento mais indicado é a expansão rápida, que pode ser realizada por diferentes terapias. Na presente pesquisa utilizou-se o aparelho Hyrax tendo como objetivo avaliar as alterações transversais e verticais da maxila. Foram selecionados 20 pacientes de ambos os sexo, entre 7 e 11 anos que apresentavam mordida cruzada posterior uni ou bilateral. Realizou-se telerradiografias em norma frontal (P.A.) antes e após a expansão. A fim de evitar que a falta de padronização dessas radiografias pudesse influenciar nos resultados, idealizou-se um método de padronização para tais radiografias. Os resultados mostraram que a correção da mordida cruzada posterior como o aparelho Hyrax, que ocorreu em todos os casos, foi em função tanto da abertura da sutura palatina mediana como também pela inclinação dos molares. A medida JgE-JgD relacionada com a expansão maxilar aumentou significantemente em todos os casos tratados. Nas avaliações dentárias as medidas verticais não apresentaram diferenças significantes, o contrário das medidas transversais (FTE-FTD; FBE-FBD; LO.BTE; LO.BTD; BTE.BTD). A largura da cavidade nasal também aumentou significantemente (CNE-CND). O método de padronização proposto permite, portanto, utilizar as medidas que avaliam a expansão rápida da maxila, através das radiografias posteroanteriores, com segurança, inclusive no sentido vertical. / Early treatment is frequently proposed in orthodontics as it prevent that mild malocclusions require more complex procedures futhermore. Among the most frequent malocclusion observed in childhood and that can be early treated are the posterior crossbites. These are usually characterized by a decreased transversal growth of the upper arch. In the constriction maxillary cases, the most indicated treatment is rapid maxillary expansion that can be achieved by different therapies. In the present research the Hyrax appliance was used in order to evaluate the transverse and vertical outcomes in maxillary base. Twenty patients of both gender, from 7 to 11 years old, presenting uni or bilateral posterior crossbite were selected. Posteroanterior radiographs were performed before and after expansion. These radiographs were standardized in order to avoid that problems with lack of standardization influence the results. The obtained data showed that the posterior crossbite correction with Hyrax appliance, observed in all the cases, was consequent either to midpalatal suture opening and molar buccal tipping. JgE-JgD measurement related to maxillary expansion increased significantly in all the treated cases. According to dental evaluation, vertical measurements did not show significant differences, which is in opposition to the transverse measurements (FTE-FTD; FBE-FBD; LO.BTE; LO.BTD; BTE.BTD). The nasal cavity width also increased significantly (CNE-CND). The standardization method proposed showed to be reliably useful for maxilla rapid expansion evaluation with posteroanterior radiographs even for vertical considerations.

Neste trabalho, é apresentada uma rotina de simulação de redes aleatórias de carbono, com hibridização variável, orientada ao cálculo do coeficiente de expansão térmica. O método utiliza um algoritmo para geração de redes aleatórias de carbono além da técnica da aproximação quasi-harmônica que, associada ao potencial parametrizado AIREBO, foram empregados para a simulação. Utilizando esta abordagem, foi gerado um conjunto de 33 estruturas, compostas por 32 átomos, e com teores variáveis de carbono sp, sp2, sp3, para as quais determinou-se o coeficiente de expansão térmica volumétrico em um intervalo de temperatura de 0 a 500 K. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que, para este número de átomos por supercela de simulação, o coeficiente de expansão térmica não depende somente do percentual de hibridização do carbono e, em princípio, isto é atribuído ao limite termodinâmico do sistema não ter sido atingido. Por fim, foi possível identificar que, em casos específicos de estruturas onde foram mantidos os percentuais de carbono sp2, aspectos como a quantidade de carbono sp influenciam no coeficiente de expansão térmica. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2017-12-11T15:19:31Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Julio Ben.pdf: 4114324 bytes, checksum: 46d45c870dc5772be06001a414bc0d96 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2017-12-11T15:19:31Z (GMT).

The method uses an algorithm for the generation of carbon random networks in addition to the quasi-harmonic approximation that, associated with the interatomic potential AIREBO, were used for the simulation.

Finally, it was possible to identify, in specific cases of structures where the percentages of sp2 carbon were maintained, that aspects such as the amount of sp carbon have influence on the coeÿcient of thermal expansion.

As universidades brasileiras, de um modo geral, são implementadas a partir da concepção de diversos atores e da lógica de atuação do Estado. Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender dois momentos diferenciados vividos pelas universidades públicas federais, em decorrência da lógica de diferentes governos federais, com foco especial na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande – Furg, no período referente à década de 90, momento caracterizado pela retração de investimentos, e à primeira década do século XXI, de 2007 a 2011, período em que foi proposto às universidades a adesão ao Programa de Apoio a Planos de Reestruturação e Expansão das Universidades Federais – Reuni, buscando demonstrar a dimensão socioespacial da Furg, diante de um contexto de expansão e as suas novas territorialidades. Para tanto, escolheu-se como instrumento de investigação para a presente pesquisa um estudo de caso, com base em dados coletados junto ao Núcleo de Tecnologia da Informação – NTI, à Pró-Reitoria de Graduação – Prograd e à Pró-Reitoria de Planejamento e Administração – Proplad. Os referidos dados estavam compilados em sistemas específicos da Universidade. A fim de melhor visualizar a espacialização e as novas territorialidades da Furg foram construídas tabelas, gráficos e figuras, a partir dos dados levantados, utilizando-se softwares específicos, tais como o Terraview, Corel Draw, Excel e Acess. / The installation of a university in a certain region acquires sociospatial configurations by functions that performs or allows to stimulate the economic, political, cultural and historical its context. The Brazilian universities, generally, are implemented from the conception of different actors and from the state performance logic. This paper has as objective to comprehend the two different moments lived by the federal public universities because of the logic of different federal governments, with special focus on the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande – Furg, during the nineties, time characterized by the decrease of investments, and during the first decade of this century, from 2007 to 2011, period in which it was proposed to the universities the adherence to the Program of Support for the Restructuring and Expansion of Federal Universities – Reuni, seeking to demonstrate the Furg’ sociespatial dimension, facing an expansion context and its new territorialities. For this, it was chosen as a research tool a case study, based on data collected at the Center for Information Technology – NTI, the Dean of Graduate – Prograd and the Dean of Planning and Administration – Proplad. These data were compiled on specific systems at the University. In order to better visualize the Furg’ space and new territorialities, it was constructed tables, graphs and figures, from the data collected, using specific software, as the Terraview, Corel Draw, Excel and Acess.

The thesis start from general introduction to globalization but its focus is on the following areas: global buying of company inputs (sourcing), expanding on the foreign/global markets (output) and managing the risks associated with globalization (increased competition, foreign currency and raw material/inputs hedge). Overall the thesis is practical in its approach and thus it provides the real applicable approaches in terms of the management in the global economy. Despite these practicalities the thesis also aims at analyzing the more general business environment for global activities of a firm. This is realized in section on economic assessment of the market and evaluation of foreign currency fundamentals.
