This thesis was focused on studying diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) from Acadia National Park, Maine, USA. First, the park is introduced and the preliminary study of freshwater algae, including diatoms, is presented. Extraordinary species richness of algae was discovered, especially in the group of diatoms, which is documented by a complete list of 674 diatom taxa in 92 genera encountered in the freshwater and brackish habitats within the park. Of those a considerable number of species unfortunately remained unidentified, as they did not conform to any described taxon in the available scientific literature. Therefore, several of those unnamed taxa were studied in close detail using light and scanning electron microscopes, exhaustive literature and herbaria search, and yielded description of three new species from genus Eunotia, and rediscovery of two rare and almost forgotten Surirella species.

Various dendrochronological methods for avalanche reconstructions was applied on tree-ring records of dominant Norway spruce (Picea abies) in the Giant Mountains National Park. The individual growth chronologies from studied avalanche paths (Pramenný důl, Navorská jáma, Pančavská stěna, Velká Studniční jáma and Úpská jáma) proved that climate is the main driving factor of intra-annual variation of tree growth. Traumatic resin ducts are formed with delay up to 5 years. Combination of two and more tree-ring characteristics is suitable for reconstruction of avalanche events. I achieved to reconstruct undocumented avalanches. I conclude that dendrochronology is suitable tool for avalanche reconstruction; however, high pollutant emission highly reduced the potential of gained results.

The trend of the country target the farmland, status quo around JETE, i.c. reconstruction of castle Býšov in distillery, characteristic park of castle, valuation of landscape and coefficient ecological stability.

As aglomerações industriais permitem que pequenas e médias empresas consigam competir e sobreviver no mercado dinâmico e globalizado. Contudo, a pressão social e regulamentar tem imposto limites a este modelo obrigando-o a adotar caminhos mais sustentáveis de crescimento. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo geral analisar a temática de aglomerações industriais sob a ótica da sustentabilidade, contemplando as suas dimensões econômica, ambiental e social. Para tanto, se propõe a: i) definir e apresentar o conceito de aglomerações industriais, caracterizar como ocorre a sustentabilidade nas mesmas e comparar as diferenças entre os distritos industriais tradicionais e os eco parques industriais; ii) analisar a percepção dos servidores públicos da SDPI quanto à temática dos distritos industriais, bem como quanto à temática da sustentabilidade nos mesmos; iii) sintetizar e apresentar o projeto do Eco Parque Industrial de Candiota que está em fase de desenvolvimento, caracterizando sua operacionalização e realizando uma análise quanto ao seu alinhamento aos referenciais teóricos identificados na literatura. Por aglomerações industriais entende-se como indústrias que agregam-se a outras por meio de relações intra ou extraterritoriais, que levam ao surgimento de relações de concorrência e/ou cooperação que conferem dinamismo ao grupo e permitem que ele se desenvolva e propicie vantagens econômicas e mercadológicas às empresas que o integram. Para que elas sejam sustentáveis devem respeitar ao tripé da sustentabilidade, que tem como bases o desenvolvimento econômico, sem causar impactos no ambiente e promovendo melhorias sociais. Verificou-se que a percepção dos servidores da SDPI quanto à sustentabilidade limitou-se no atendimento aos aspectos ambientais. Com isso, foi apresentado o projeto do Eco Parque Industrial de Candiota que visa o atendimento à sustentabilidade quanto aso seus aspectos sociais, ambientais e econômicos. Por fim, foi possível constatar que uma aglomeração industrial pode ser sustentável, contanto que seja planejada para essa finalidade. / Industrial agglomerations allow small and medium enterprises able to compete and survive in the dynamic and global marketplace. However, the society and regulatory pressure has imposed limits to this model forcing him to adopt more sustainable growth paths. This work has as main objective to analyze the theme of industrial agglomeration from the perspective of sustainability, considering its economic, environmental and social dimensions. To this end, it proposes to: i) define and introduce the concept of industrial agglomeration, characterize how sustainability occurs on the same and compare the differences between the traditional industrial districts and eco parks industrials; ii) analyze the perception of servants of the SDPI regarding theme of industrial districts, as well as the theme of sustainability in them; iii) summarize and present the design of the Eco Park Industrial Candiota which is under development, featuring its operation and performing an analysis as to its alignment with the theoretical frameworks identified in the literature. For industrial agglomerations is understood as industries that add to others through intra or extra territorial relations, leading to the emergence of competitive relations and/or cooperation that give dynamism to the group and allow it to develop and fosters economic advantages and marketing to companies within it. To be sustainable they must comply with the triple bottom line, which has bases as economic development, without impacting on the environment and promoting social improvement. It was found that the perception of the SDPI servers on sustainability was limited in meeting the environmental aspects. Thus, the design of the Eco Industrial Park Candiota aimed at compliance with sustainability as also their social, environmental and economic aspects was presented. Finally, it was found that an industrial agglomeration can be sustainable as long as it planned for this purpose.

abstract: Livestock-grazing, in particular cattle grazing, is a common use of public and private lands in western North America. As a result, the effects of grazing on both plants and animals are widely studied. Few studies, however, look directly at the long-term effects that cattle grazing may have on a particular species. The goal of this experiment was to continue research begun in 1988, to determine if the effects of cattle grazing are still seen in the age structure of two populations of saguaros (Carnegiea gigantea [Engelm.] Britton & Rose) at Saguaro National Park - Rincon Mountain District (SNP-RMD). The null hypothesis stated that enough time has elapsed since the cessation of grazing, and there is no difference in the age distribution of the saguaros of the two populations. The study area was comprised of a former fence line where grazing ceased on the western side of the fence in 1958 and the eastern side in 1978. Belt transects were laid on each side of the fence line and height was measured for each saguaro encountered in a transect. Approximate age of the individual was then calculated using an age-height correlation for SNP-RMD. Individuals were then placed into age classes of 10 year increments and a Log-Likelihood test was performed. The resulting calculated P value of 0.12 meant the null hypothesis was not rejected and there was no statistical difference between the age structure of the two populations. After 34 and 54 years rest from grazing, the negative effects of cattle grazing on the retention and recruitment of saguaro seedlings have ended, and replenishment of the populations is now dependent upon factors such as temperature and precipitation. Other factors such as climate change, increasing fire frequency, encroachment by invasive species, and poaching are sources of concern and increased mortality for these and other saguaros. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S.

Os Parques Tecnológicos têm se mostrado estratégias de desenvolvimento alinhadas a busca constante pela competitividade, ferramentas usadas por cidades, regiões e países em busca de sustentabilidade, auxiliando no fortalecimento tecnológico e na inserção na economia do conhecimento. Nesses centros de inovação, a produção, disseminação e uso do conhecimento são intensivos, e sua gestão torna-se imperiosa. Sendo assim, a Gestão do Conhecimento vem atender essa necessidade, e embora ela tenha alcançado um estágio consolidado como campo de pesquisa, a sua relação com os Parques Tecnológicos tem sido pouco explorada na literatura. Fundamentado na análise e reflexão dessas lacunas de pesquisa, este trabalho visa propor um conjunto de diretrizes para o desenvolvimento da Gestão do Conhecimento em Parques Tecnológicos. Para tal fim, foi desenvolvido e aplicado um instrumento de coleta de dados em cinco Parque Tecnológicos, sendo quatro no Brasil e um na Espanha. Os estudos de caso selecionados foram analisados, identificando iniciativas. Dessa forma obteve-se como diretrizes o desenvolvimento de um plano estratégico para a Gestão do Conhecimento, a organização de eventos para o incentivo à cultura; governança quádruplo hélice, canais de comunicação e layout planejado para suportar a estrutura, formação de uma equipe com responsabilidades explícitas, incentivo a projetos conjuntos, programas de capacitação, programas de softlanding e benchmarking, métricas, ferramentas e redes com parceiros estratégicos como fontes de conhecimento. Os resultados do trabalho contribuem para o desenvolvimento das pesquisas que relacionam as duas áreas de estudo, no âmbito empresarial a diretrizes propostas suportarão programas de implementação da Gestão do Conhecimento em Parques Tecnológicos. / The Technology Parks have proven development strategies aligned constant search for competitiveness, tools used by cities, regions and countries in search of sustainability, assisting in technological empowerment and inclusion in the knowledge economy. These innovation centers, production, dissemination and use of knowledge are intensive, and management becomes imperative. Thus, Knowledge Management meets this need, and although it has achieved a consolidated stage as a research field, its relationship with the Technological Parks was little explored in the literature. Based on the analysis and reflection of these research gaps, this paper aims to propose a set of guidelines for the development of Knowledge Management in Technology Parks. To this end, was developed and applied a data collection instrument in five Technological Park, four in Brazil and one in Spain. The selected case studies were analyzed, identifying initiatives. Thus it was obtained as guidelines to develop a strategic plan for knowledge management, the organization of events to encourage the culture; quad helix governance , communication channels and planned layout to support the structure , forming a team with explicit responsibilities, encouraging joint projects, training programs, Softlanding programs and benchmarking, metrics, tools and networking with strategic partners as sources of knowledge . The outcomes contribute to the development of research linking the two areas of study. In business under the proposed guidelines will support implementation of programs of Knowledge Management in Technology Parks.
