Essa combina??o de propriedades ?nicas confere ao revestimento aplica??es nas mais diversas ?reas. No entanto, o elevado n?vel de tens?es compressivas, que se originam durante o crescimento do filme, dificulta a obten??o de alta ader?ncia. Al?m disso, a elevada dureza do filme aliada ? diferen?a no coeficiente de expans?o t?rmica em rela??o ao substrato faz com que o DLC n?o acompanhe facilmente a deforma??o do substrato, o que pode provocar a delamina??o e falha total do revestimento, especialmente em a?os. O principal objetivo deste trabalho ? o estudo e desenvolvimento do processo de deposi??o de filmes finos de DLC com a inser??o de nanopart?culas de prata, atrav?s da t?cnica de gaiola cat?dica, seguido da avalia??o de sua ader?ncia ao substrato e seu comportamento tribol?gico. Neste trabalho, filmes de DLC dopados com prata (DLC-Ag) foram depositados sobre o a?o AISI 301, utilizando a t?cnica de deposi??o qu?mica na fase vapor assistida por plasma (PECVD). A parte inovadora desse trabalho refere-se a deposi??o do filme de DLC, onde a prata ? introduzida utilizando uma gaiola cat?dica de prata (GCP) durante o processo de deposi??o. Testes tribol?gicos foram realizados para se analisar a ader?ncia entre filme e substrato, o coeficiente de atrito, e a resist?ncia ao desgaste. A t?cnica de espectroscopia Raman foi utilizada para verificar o arranjo estrutural dos ?tomos de carbono e obter par?metros importantes. Os filmes foram adicionalmente caracterizados por microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV). Os resultados mostraram que a utiliza??o da GCP foi bastante eficaz, pois produziu um filme com maior homogeneidade e dependendo se a gaiola foi utilizada durante todo o processo ou n?o, h? uma propor??o maior ou menor de prata no filme de DLC. / Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have awaked growing interest due to its outstanding mechanical and tribological properties such as high hardness, high wear resistance, chemical inertness, and low friction coefficient. This is unique combination of specific properties enable film application in several fields. However, the high level of compressive stresses, which arise during film growth, hinders to obtain high adhesion. Furthermore, the high film hardness coupled to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient regarding the substrate, results in the DLC does not easily follow the deformation of the substrate. It may result in film delamination and complete failure, especially in case of substrates made of steels. The main objective of this work is to study and develop the deposition process of DLC thin films with inclusion of silver nanoparticles by cathodic cage technology. The adhesion between film and substrate as well as the tribological behavior were analyzed in detail. Doped Diamond-like carbon films with silver (DLC-Ag) were deposited on AISI 301 steel by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The innovative part of this PhD thesis is the DLC-Ag film deposition by using a silver cathodic cage. Tribologicals tests were performed to evaluate the adhesion between film and substrate, friction coefficient and wear resistance. Raman spectroscopy was applied to verify the structural arrangement of carbon atoms and to obtain important parameters. The films were further characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results proved that the deposition by silver cathodic cage is an effective technique for production of more homogeneous DLC-Ag films. The amount of Ag in the film can be adjusted by dwell time of the cathodic cage process.

Ce travail est consacré à la modélisation QSPR des propriétés cinétiques et thermodynamiques des réactions chimiques à l'aide de l'approche Graphe Condensé de Réaction (CGR). Le CGR permet de coder des structures de réactifs et de produits en un seul graphe moléculaire pour lequel des descripteurs moléculaires peuvent être générés.Une base de données contenant plus de 11000 réactions collectées manuellement a été développée puis utilisée dans la modélisation. Les modèles prédictifs ont été construits pour les constantes de vitesse de réactions Diels-Alder, SN2 et E2 ainsi que pour les constantes d'équilibre des transformations tautomères. Ils sont rendus publics via un portail WEB. Une partie de la thèse concerne une étude de mécanique quantique des réactions entre des sydnones et des alcynes contraints pour lesquels la taille du jeux de données n'était pas suffisante pour produire des modèles statistiquement significatifs. / This work is devoted to QSPR modeling of kinetic and thermodynamic properties of chemical reactions using the Condensed Graph of Reaction (CGR) approach. CGR allows encoding structures of reactants and products into one sole molecular graph for which molecular descriptors can be generated. A comprehensive database containing some 11000 manually collected reactions has been developed then used in the modeling. Predictive models were built for rate constants of Diels-Alder, SN2 and E2 reaction as well as for equilibrium constants of tautomeric transformations. They are available for the users via WEB portal. A part of the thesis concerned quantum mechanics studies of reactions between sydnones and strained alkynes for which the size of the dataset was not sufficient to produce statistically meaningful models.

This study aims to evaluate these concretes by means of testing methodologies, using concrete with low resistance with structural reinforcement for confinement by preimpregnated glass fiber and traditional fiberglass blanket. The first stage of work was the development of methodologies for analysis, opting for four types, such as the acoustic survey, strength to compressive, the pull-off and ultrasound. Next, tests were carried out using the four selected methodologies in 30 of proof-of-specimens by 5x10 cm, 15 were reinforced with the traditional fiberglass blanket with 5specimens exposed to test a marine environment of marine coastline of Natal-RN and 15 were reinforced with a pre-impregnated glass fiber blanket, as well as 5specimens exposed to a test environment of the marine coastline of Natal-RN. After conducting the acoustic survey, it has been verified a lack of delaminating and air bubbles in the samples, confirming the absence of gross shortcomings in the implementation of the ribs both the traditional fiberglass blanket and in the preimpregnated fiber glass blanket. After carrying out methods of pull-off and compressive strengthening test it was observed that the reinforced proof-bodies with pre-impregnated glass blanket showed maximum stresses higher than the traditional fiberglass blanket; consequently a greater grip with the formation of a smaller area of . fracture, unlike traditional glass mat, which showed lower maximum stresses, with a greater area of fracture. It was also found that the traditional fiberglass blanket presented detachment of blanket-concrete interface, unlike the pre-impregnated fiberglass blanket, which showed a better grip on the blanket-concrete interface. In the trial of ultrasound there was no presence of cracks in the blanket-concrete interface, yielding to both blankets good compactness of the concrete. At the end of this work, they were developed and proposed two methods of testing for evaluation of reinforced concrete structures with composites, for standardization, the acoustic survey and pull-off / Em virtude da ocorr?ncia de patologias na utiliza??o de refor?os estruturais com comp?sitos, com apresenta??o de descolamento da manta do concreto, foi identificada a necessidade de se avaliar o desempenho dos concretos refor?ados com a fibra de vidro. Sendo o objetivo principal deste trabalho, avaliar estes concretos, atrav?s de metodologias de ensaios, utilizando concretos com resist?ncias baixas com refor?o estrutural por confinamento por fibra de vidro pr?impregnada e por manta de fibra de vidro tradicional. A primeira etapa do trabalho consistiu na elabora??o das metodologias de an?lise, optando-se por quatro tipos, a sondagem ac?stica, resist?ncia ? compress?o,o pull-off e o ultra-som. Em seguida, foram realizados os ensaios utilizando as quatro metodologias escolhidas em 30 corpos-de-prova de 5x10 cm, sendo 15 refor?ados com a manta de fibra de vidro tradicional, com 5 corpos-de-prova expostos a um ambiente marinho da orla mar?tima de Natal-RN e sendo 15 refor?ados com a manta de fibra de vidro pr?impregnada, tamb?m com 5 corpos-de-prova expostos a um ambiente marinho da orla mar?tima de Natal-RN. Ap?s a realiza??o dos ensaios de sondagem ac?stica, verificou-se a inexist?ncia de delamina??es e bolhas de ar nas amostras analisadas, comprovando a inexist?ncia de falhas grosseiras na aplica??o dos refor?os tanto na manta de fibra de vidro tradicional, como na da manta de fibra de vidro pr?impregnada. Depois de executadas as metodologias de ensaios de resist?ncia ? compress?o e pull-off, observou-se que os corpos-de-prova refor?ados com a manta de vidro pr?-impregnada apresentaram tens?es m?ximas superiores ?s obtidas com a manta de fibra de vidro tradicional, consequentemente uma ader?ncia maior, com a forma??o de uma menor ?rea de fratura, ao contr?rio da manta de vi dro tradicional, que apresentou tens?es m?ximas inferiores, com uma maior ?rea de fratura. Verificou-se ainda que a manta de fibra de vidro tradicional apresentou descolamento da interface manta/concreto, ao contr?rio da manta de fibra de vidro pr?-impregnada, que apresentou uma maior ader?ncia na interface manta/concreto. No ensaio de ultra-som n?o se observou presen?a de fissuras na interface manta/concreto, obtendo-se para ambas as mantas, boas compacidades do concreto. Ao final do trabalho foram elaboradas e propostas duas metodologias de ensaios para avalia??o das estruturas de concreto armado refor?adas com comp?sitos, para normaliza??o, a sondagem ac?stica e o pull-off

Resultados: Foram encontradas diferen?as estat?sticas significativas entre os grupos quanto ? rugosidade e ? ades?o bacteriana. Para a resina Filtek Z350 XT houve diferen?as entre os sistemas de acabamento e polimento testados, onde o sistema que apresentou menor rugosidade superficial foi o Sof-lex Pop-On. Para a resina IPS Empress Direct, o sistema de acabamento e polimento Astropol, obteve menores resultados de rugosidade superficial. Quanto ? ades?o bacteriana, o menor valor de densidade ?ptica para a resina Filtek Z350 XT foi para o grupo que utilizou o sistema de acabamento e polimento Sof-Lex Pop-On e para a resina IPS Empress Direct o grupo que utilizou o sistema Astropol. Al?m disso, verificou-se uma correla??o positiva entre a rugosidade superficial e ades?o bacteriana nas superf?cies polidas (r = 0,612, p <0,001) Conclus?es: a rugosidade superficial e a ades?o bacteriana est?o estreitamente relacionadas.

Materials and Methods: 66 specimens were prepared, and 30 with Filtek Z350 XT (3M ESPE, USA) and 30 with the resin IPS Empress Direct (Ivoclar Vivadent, USA), divided into 6 groups (n = 10 ). Six specimens were prepared for analysis in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) .Each kind of resin was subjected to finishing and polishing systems: Sof-Lex Pop-On discs (3M ESPE, USA) and AstropolTM system (Ivoclar Vivadent , USA), featuring the experimental group. The control group did not undergo any kind of finishing and polishing technique. The average roughness (Ra) in both groups was measured using a roughness in the setting of 0.25 mm (cut off) and surface images obtained with photomicrographs taken with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) magnified 500 times. Bacterial adherence was evaluated by determining the absorbance (OD) of the suspension of adhered cells by spectrophotometer at 570 nm. The results were submitted for analyzed with 2-way ANOVA at ?=.05 and Tukey multiple comparison tests. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the groups in terms of roughness and bacterial adhesion. Filtek Z350 XT for resin were no differences between the tested finishing and polishing systems, where the system of lowest surface roughness was the Sof-Lex Pop-On. To the resin IPS Empress Direct, the finishing and polishing system Astropol, had lower results of surface roughness. As for bacterial adhesion, the lowest optical density value for Filtek Z350 XT was for the group that used the finishing and polishing system Sof-Lex Pop-On and the resin IPS Empress Direct the group that used the Astropol system. In addition, there was a positive correlation between surface roughness and bacterial adhesion on polished surfaces (r = 0.612) Conclusions: surface roughness and bacterial adhesion are closely related. The finishing and polishing Sof-Lex Pop-On system is more suitable for nanoparticulate Filtek Z350 XT and the finishing and polishing system Astropol for resin nanoh?brida IPS Empress Direct.

Interventions that claim to optimize patient adherence to their medical regimen, and improve self-care behavior, have proven effective in preventing unplanned admissions and improves the outcome for patients, however, studies have shown the problem of non-adherence, and some psychological instruments have been used to show that traces indicate difficulties with treatment adherence. Having shown this, the aim of this work is to evaluate the evidence of validity of the Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic (MBMD) in a population of patients with CHF. The study included individuals with CHF, males and females, between the age of 18 and 85 years, treated in a reference hospital in the city of NatalRN. A total of 120 patients answered, in addition to the MBMD, another questionnaire structured with sociodemographic aspects and clinical itens. The results indicated that the parameter of the MBMD reliability was satisfactory the most of extracted factors, and some scale. In terms of the population studied, we could verify that the disease was more prevalent in men, but women had the highest average in indicators related to negative health habits and depressed mood. Younger pacients and those who had no partner had the highest averages in groups of items that dealt with feelings of sadness and discouragement. Hasn?t been observed differences related to negative health habits and problematic adherence among patients in different functional classes. More studies in this research line, with a larger population and from other regions of the country, are needed in order to expand the data presented here

However, these methods imply that the metallic casing-cement sheath interface is submitted to thermal cycling. As a consequence, cracking may develop due to the thermal expansion mismatch of such materials, which allows the flow of oil and gas through the cement sheath, with environmental and economical consequences. It is therefore important to anticipate interfacial discontinuities that may arise upon Thermal recovery. The present study reports a simple alternative method to measure the shear strength of casing-sheath interfaces using pushthrough geometry, applied to polymer-containing hardened cement slurries. Polyurethane and recycled tire rubber were added to Portland-bases slurries to improve the fracture energy of intrinsically brittle cement. Samples consisting of metallic casing sections surrounded by hardened polymer-cement composites were prepared and mechanically tested. The effect of thermal cycles was investigated to simulate temperature conditions encountered in steam injection recovery. The results showed that the addition of polyurethane significantly improved the shear strength of the casing-sheath interface. The strength values obtained adding 10% BWOC of polyurethane to a Portland-base slurry more than doubled with respect to that of polyurethane-free slurries. Therefore, the use of polyurethane significantly contributes to reduce the damage caused by thermal cycling to cement sheath, improving the safety conditions of oil wells and the recovery of heavy oils / Atualmente, os m?todos com maior ?ndice de sucesso de recupera??o de ?leos pesados s?o os t?rmicos, principalmente a inje??o de vapor. Este m?todo de recupera??o coloca a interface entre o revestimento met?lico e a bainha de cimento em ciclagem t?rmica, que devido ? diferen?a de coeficientes de expans?o entre os dois materiais pode provocar o surgimento de trincas, possibilitando a passagem de fluidos pela bainha de cimento. Isto ocasiona s?rios riscos s?cio-econ?micos e ambientais. Para minimizar este problema, foi realizado um estudo que consiste em mensurar a resist?ncia ao cisalhamento entre um tubo de a?o e uma bainha de cimento. Ao material cimentante foram adicionados pol?meros, como poliuretana e borracha reciclada triturada de pneus. A adi??o de pol?meros visa melhorar a plasticidade do material cimentante e, assim, aumentar a ader?ncia da pasta endurecida sobre o revestimento, bem como a energia de ruptura do conjunto. Diante disso, a meta principal desse estudo foi avaliar a ader?ncia de comp?sitos cimentantes para po?os de petr?leo com revestimentos met?licos ap?s ciclagens t?rmicas, simulando as condi??es de varia??o de temperatura a que po?os de petr?leo s?o submetidos durante a recupera??o de ?leos pesados por m?todos t?rmicos. Observou-se que com a adi??o de poliuretana houve uma melhoria significativa da ader?ncia da interface revestimento met?lica - bainha de cimento com rela??o ? pasta padr?o, sem pol?meros. Os melhores resultados obtidos foram com pastas contendo 10% de poliuretana, que apresentaram aumento de mais de 100% na resist?ncia ao cisalhamento, em rela??o ? pasta padr?o. A adi??o de poliuretana ? pasta de cimento contribui de forma significativa para reduzir o dano causado pela ciclagem t?rmica a bainhas de cimento, melhorando a seguran?a e as condi??es de produ??o de po?os de petr?leo sujeitos ? recupera??o secund?ria por m?todos t?rmicos

In the present work we study the numerical solution of shallow water equations. We introduce a vectorial notation of equations laws of conservation from which we derive the shallow water equations (SWE). There is the simplify its derivation, notation and the most important features. The original contribution is to derive equations for shallow water without the using of Leibniz's formula. There we report the finite volume method with the numerical flow of Vijayasundaram type for SWE. We present a description of the linear reconstruction, quadratic reconstruction and ENO reconstruction and their using for increasing of order accuracy. We demonstrate using of linear reconstruction in finite volume method of second order accuracy. This method is programmed in Octave language and used for solving of two problems. We apply the method of the ADER type for the shallow water equations. This method was originally designed for the Euler's equation.
