Palynology of the Lower Colorado Group (Late Lower Cretaceous)and its Lithological Equivalents in Central and West-Central Alberta, CanadaBrideaux, Wayne Wilfred 10 1900 (has links)
161 miospore species and 122 microplankton species are described from 106 samples in six sections of the Lower Colorado Group and its equivalents in central and west-central Alberta. Two miospore species, and two genera and twenty-five species of microplankton, are newly described.
The miospore and microplankton assemblages are used as a basis for division of the Lower Colorado Group into several time-stratigraphic units. The age of the Group is determined as Upper Albian (latest Lower Cretaceous).
A method for defining recurrent microplankton species groups is developed and applied to assemblages from two of the sections. The distribution of the recurrent groups formulated is shown to be correlated in part with palynological, lithological and other data.
Application and extension of the results and conclusions of this investigation should prove useful in understanding many aspects of western Canadian Cretaceous stratigraphy and in the investigation of microplankton occurrence patterns from other deposits. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Fertilizantes minerais: análise da dinâmica na economia agrícola do Centro-Oeste brasileiro / Mineral fertilizers: analysis of the dynamics in the agricultural economy of Central-West Region of BrazilOgino, Cristiane Mitie 25 January 2018 (has links)
Os fertilizantes minerais apresentam-se como um dos insumos contribuidores para o aumento da produtividade no Brasil desde os anos de 1980, diante da limitada expansão da área agrícola, e são considerados como poupadores de terra. No entanto, por serem provindos de recursos naturais escassos, extraidos viávelmente (econômico e físico) de limitados locais do mundo, e dependerem altamente de energia para a síntese, fazem com que a produção agrícola seja sensível aos impactos de oferta e demanda pelos fertiliznates. A exemplo do ocorrido em 2008/2009, em que a elevação dos preços dos fertilizantes reduziu sua quantidade de consumo e houve alteração no mercado das commodities agrícolas. Diante disso, objetivou analisar a dinâmica econômica entre os fertilizantes minerais com o mercado agrícola da região Centro-Oeste (CO), onde apresenta o maior consumo de fertilizante minerais e concentra a maior produção agrícola do país. Para análise, considerou-se as variáveis como a quantidade consumida de fertilizantes e o poder de compra ponderado à produtividade (poder de compra p.p.) no CO, e o preço do fertilizante específico. Empregou-se a metodologia de séries temporais, mais especificamente o modelo Autorregressivo Vetorial Estrutural (SVAR), para cada macronutriente primário, ou seja, os fertilizantes nitrogenados, fosfatados e potássicos. Tal modelo permitiu estimar as respostas das variáveis endógenas aos impactos positivos tanto das demais variáveis como de si próprio. Os resultados mostram que a quantidade consumida como sendo a variável mais endógena, com a maior participação do poder de compra p.p. do que seus preços, além da própria variação para os três modelos. Diferentemente dos preços que se apresentaram mais exógenos, cuja contribuição própria foi mais de 90%, também para os três modelos. Por conseguinte, nas análises dos impactos determinou-se a maior sensibilidade de variação entre o impacto no poder de compra p.p. sobre a quantidade consumida do fertilizante para os três modelos. Ao serem comparados, obtiveram a ordem decrescente das elasticidades igual a 0,65; 0,58; e 0,48, respectivamente aos fertilizantes N > P205 > K2O, sequência esta conferida pela atuação agronômica dos nutrientes no solo da região e nas culturas. Já a menor sensibilidade de variação ocorreu entre o poder de compra p.p. sobre o choque nos preços dos fertilizantes, resultado esse esperado, devido os fertilizantes serem um dos insumos necessários para o aumento de produtividade. Assim, reconhece-se a relação positiva entre os três tipos de fertilizantes minerais e a produção no Centro-Oeste pelas demandas dos fertilizantes se apresentarem inelásticas à variação dos preços dos fertilizantes. / Mineral fertilizers are one of the contributor inputs to increase productivity in Brazil since the 1980s, given the limited expansion of the agricultural area, and are considered land-savers. However, because they are derived from scarce natural resources, viably extracted (economically and structurally) from limited locations of the world, and highly dependent on energy for synthesis, they make agricultural production sensitive to the impacts of supply and demand. As in 2008/2009, when the increase in fertilizer prices reduced its quantity of consumption, there were changes in the agricultural commodities market. The present dissertation aims to analyze the economic dynamics between mineral fertilizers and the agricultural market of the Central-West region, where the highest mineral fertilizer consumption is presented and the largest agricultural production in the country is concentrated. For the analysis, we considered some variables, such as the quantity of fertilizers consumed, and the purchasing power weighted by productivity, as well as the price of the specific fertilizer. The time series methodology, more specifically the Autoregressive Structural Vector Model (SVAR), was used for each primary macronutrient, that is, the nitrogen, phosphate and potassium fertilizers. This model allowed us to estimate the responses of the endogenous variables to the positive impacts of the other variables as well as of themselves. The results found the quantity consumed as being the most endogenous variable, with the greater participation of weighted purchasing power than its prices, besides its own variation for the three models. Differently from the prices that presented more exogenous, whose own contribution was more than 90% also for the three models. Therefore, in the analysis of the impacts, it was determined the greater sensitivity of variation between the amount of fertilizer consumed on the shock in purchasing power for three models. When compared, they obtained the decreasing order of elasticities equal to 0.65; 0.58; and 0,48, respectively, to N> P205 > K2O fertilizers, a sequence that is conferred by the agronomic performance of the nutrients in the soil of the region and in the crops. On the other hand, the lower sensitivity of variation occurred between purchasing power over the shock of fertilizer prices, a result expected, because fertilizers are one of the inputs needed to increase productivity. Thus, the positive relation between the three types of mineral fertilizers and the production in the Central-West by the demands of the fertilizers are inelastic to the variation of the fertilizer prices.

Previous issue date: 2008-04-28 / Group A rotaviruses are the major cause of gastroenteritis in children throughout the world. Epidemiological surveys and molecular analysis of rotavirus strains are required for gastroenteritis control and prevention. Studies using VP6, an important immunogenic structural protein, and NSP4, a transmembrane nonstructural glycoprotein which is critical to rotavirus morphogenesis and pathogenesis, have been performed. In this study, 330 rotavirus-positive fecal samples previously obtained from children with or without diarrhea, between 1987 and 2003, in three cities of Central West Region of Brazil (Goiânia, Brasília and Campo Grande), were characterized for VP6- and NSP4-encoding genes. The VP6 and NSP4 genes were amplified by reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction followed by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. Detection rates of 84.8% and 78.5% were observed for VP6 and NSP4 genes, respectively. Two distinct genotypes could be recognized for NSP4 (A and B). It was observed that the G9P[6] samples were associated with genotype A, whereas the G1P[6], G1P[8], G2P[8], G3P[8], G4P[8] and G9P[8] samples were associated with genotype B. The analysis of VP6 gene allowed genogrouping of samples in two clusters, genogroups I and II. The G2P[4], G3P[4] and G9P[6] samples were identified as genogroup I, whereas the G1P[6], G1P[8], G2P[8], G4P[6], G4P[8] and G9P[8] samples were identified as genogroup II. In addition, it was showed that samples identified as VP6 genogroup I were associated with NSP4 genotype A and samples identified as VP6 genogroup II were associated with NSP4 genotype B. This investigation described different genetic groups representing diversity of group A rotavirus samples circulating in the Central West Region of Brazil. / Os rotavírus do grupo A são considerados como os principais agentes de gastroenterite em crianças em todo o mundo. Investigações de vigilância epidemiológica e molecular são importantes para o controle e prevenção da doença. Nesse sentido, destacam-se os estudos utilizando VP6, proteína estrutural que se tem mostrado como a mais imunogênica, e NSP4, uma glicoproteína não estrutural transmembrana envolvida na morfogênese e patogênese viral. No presente estudo, 330 amostras de rotavírus coletadas de 1987 a 2003, provenientes de espécimes fecais de crianças com ou sem diarréia, em três cidades da Região Centro-Oeste do Brasil (Goiânia, Brasília e Campo Grande), foram caracterizadas em relação aos genes que codificam as proteínas VP6 e NSP4. Inicialmente, foi feita a amplificação dos genes de VP6 e NSP4 pela reação em cadeia pela polimerase pós-transcrição reversa, seguida do seqüenciamento genômico e de análise filogenética. Os genes de VP6 e NSP4 foram detectados em 84,8% e 78,5% das amostras, respectivamente. Dois genótipos de NSP4 foram identificados (A e B). Foi observado que as amostras G9P[6] associaram-se ao genótipo A e as amostras G1P[6], G1P[8], G2P[8], G3P[8], G4P[8] e G9P[8] associaram-se ao genótipo B. A análise do gene VP6 permitiu a identificação de dois genogrupos distintos (I e II). As amostras G2P[4], G3P[4] e G9P[6] foram caracterizadas como genogrupo I, enquanto as amostras G1P[6], G1P[8], G2P[8], G4P[6], G4P[8] e G9P[8] foram caracterizadas como genogrupo II. Ainda foi evidenciado que as amostras genogrupo I de VP6 estavam associadas com genótipo A de NSP4, e as amostras genogrupo II de VP6 estavam associadas com genótipo B de NSP4. A presente investigação identificou diferentes variantes genéticas, mostrando a diversidade dos rotavírus do grupo A circulantes na Região Centro-Oeste do Brasil.

Twenty-four miles around Nelungaloo : the history and importance of cinema exhibition in pre-television times to a country area of central-western New South WalesCork, Kevin James, University of Western Sydney, Nepean, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences January 1994 (has links)
Little research into historical, architectural and social significance of the picture theatre in pre-television rural Australian society has been undertaken. Taking a New South Wales country area (to represent a microcosm), this thesis records the picture venues and qualitative research material from past patrons and theatre staff. The study 1/. establishes the environment created by a picture theatre 2/. shows that New South Wales was typical of Australia in film attendance before the 1960s 3/. introduces the Central-West subject area, and describes how data was gathered from available records 4/. shows the development of the picture venues within the subject areas 5/. gives 'life' to the occasion formerly associated with going to the pictures 6/. suggests the success ot the rural picture shows was a happy co-incidence: the exhibitors' desire to make money and the patrons' desire for a social experience (and entertainment). A recommendation is made that one of the venues discovered during the course of research should be investigated for heritage listing. It is important that we should acknowledge the vital part that going to the pictures once played in pre-television days, especially in rural areas / Master of Arts (Hons)

Traditions céramiques au Néolithique récent et final dans le Centre-Ouest de la France (3700-2200 avant J.-C.) : filiations et interactions entre groupes culturels / Ceramic traditions in the Late and Final Neolithic in Central-West France (3700-2200 BC) : affiliations and interactions between cultural groupsArd, Vincent 24 October 2011 (has links)
Deux millénaires après l’arrivée des premiers colons néolithiques, le Centre-Ouest de la France voit l’émergence au Néolithique récent d’une « mosaïque » de groupes culturels, peu après 3700 avant J.-C. À l’exception de la culture saintongeaise peu-richardienne, réputée pour ses céramiques aux décorations singulières et parfois exubérantes, tous ces groupes produisent des céramiques de facture grossière et peu décorée, difficilement distinguables sur les seuls critères morpho-stylistiques. Or ce sont ces critères qui sont généralement employés pour la définition des cultures néolithiques. L’origine et la caractérisation précise de ces groupes du Néolithique récent sont donc couramment discutées, tout comme leur filiation avec la culture artenacienne qui les succède au Néolithique final.Afin de préciser ce cadre chrono-culturel et d’appréhender les filiations et interactions entre groupes du Néolithique récent et final (3700-2200 avant J.-C.), notre étude a analysé l’ensemble de la chaine opératoire de fabrication de leurs céramiques à partir de vingt-trois assemblages issus de sites domestiques (enceintes fossoyées) et funéraires répartis sur l’ensemble du Centre-Ouest, entre Loire et Dordogne. L’objectif de ce travail est de mettre en évidence des « manières de faire » transmisses au sein des groupes de producteurs, comme l’ont montré de multiples études ethnoarchéologiques. Huit traditions céramiques ont été mises en évidence et caractérisées par les méthodes de façonnage employées puis le matériau argileux et enfin les formes produites. Elles sont présentées successivement en illustrant chacune des macrotraces les plus caractéristiques par des macro-photos. Les distributions chronologiques et spatiales de chacune de ces traditions sont ensuite discutées afin de tester la validité du cadre chrono-culturel actuel. La mise en évidence de trois aires culturelles distinctes, dans la seconde moitié du Néolithique récent (Seuil du Poitou, Taizé et Peu-Richard), nous permet ensuite de discuter de leurs origines respectives et des interactions entre elles. On remarque l’émergence d’une culture dominante peu-richardienne, peut-être à la faveur du contrôle de l’exploitation du sel dans les marais poitevin et de Rochefort. Ses productions céramiques, parfois diffusées à longue distance, sont à l’origine de celles de la culture artenacienne dont l’aire d’influence dépasse largement les frontières du Centre-Ouest au Néolithique final (2900-2200 avant J.-C. environ). / Two millennia after the arrival of the first Neolithic settlers, a “mosaic” of cultural groups appeared in Central-West France in the Late Neolithic period, c. 3700 BC. Except for the famous Peu-Richard culture of Saintonge, known for its ceramic decorations which are sometimes exuberant, all the groups of this cultural mosaic produce coarse and sparsely decorated ceramics, which are now difficult to distinguish just on morpho-stylistic criteria. However, these morphological criteria are commonly used for the definition of the Neolithic cultures. The origin and precise characterization of these Late Neolithic groups, and also their affiliation with the Artenac culture of the Final Neolithic period, are commonly discussed.To clarify this chrono-cultural context and understand the affiliations and interactions between groups of the Late and Final Neolithic (c. 3700-2200 BC), our study analyzes all the “chaine opératoire” of pottery manufacture from twenty-three ceramic assemblages from domestic (causewayed enclosures) and funeral sites which are distributed throughout the Central-West France, between Loire and Dordogne rivers. The aim of this work is to highlight the “ways of doing” transmitted in potters groups, as shown by multiple ethnoarchaeological studies. Eight ceramic traditions, characterized by the shaping methods, the clay material and finally the forms produced, are all successively presented and the most characteristic features of each ones are illustrated by macro-photos.Therefore, the chronological and spatial distributions of these ceramic traditions are discussed in order to test the validity of the current chrono-cultural context. Three cultural areas are identified in the second half of the Late Neolithic (Seuil du Poitou, Taizé and Peu-Richard) which offer the possibility to discuss their respective origins and the interactions between these areas. The emergence of a dominant culture (Peu-Richard) is observed and his power is perhaps related to the control of the salt exploitation in the poitevin and Rochefort marshes. The Peu-Richard ceramic productions, sometimes found at long-distance, are the ancestors of those of the Artenac culture whose area of influence extends beyond the Central-West borders in the Late Neolithic (c. 2900-2200 BC).

Previous issue date: 2016-04-26 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The agroindustrial cooperatives in the brazilian agricultural scenario are substantial, since they are responsible for a significant number of employees, members and products, thus research them is essential in any field, whether economic, political or social. The evolution of brazilian cooperativism occurred at different scales, being pertinent at the agricultural modernization process and mainly by public policies, such as the creation of the Real Plan, which led cooperatives to new guidelines, given the lack of support from the federal government in the 1990s. Therefore, this discusses the agro-industrial cooperative expansion and formation in the central-west region of Paraná State, with emphasis on the two major agro-industrial cooperatives on site, Coamo Agro-industrial Cooperativa and the suppressed Cooperativa Agroindustrial de Goioerê - Coagel. In this sense, the search aimed to analyze the factors that led Coamo to become the largest single cooperative in Latin America, and Coagel to be merged into this, also trying to understand this whole process from the local, with its specificities. The hypothesis of the research is that among the factors that conditioned Coamo performance, was its vertical integration process, along with its territorial expansion, which has already reached three brazilian states (PR / SC / MS). Still, Coagel entered into crisis after the decline of cotton in 1996, which was the flagship of the cooperative, initially causing its lease, then its merger into Coamo. In short, it is considered that this study highlights the different paths and strategic profiles embraced for the hegemony of Coamo, both in the field as in the city, such as the difficulties encountered by Coagel in the course of its history. / As cooperativas agropecuárias no espaço agrário brasileiro são consideráveis, já que movimentam um número expressivo de funcionários, cooperados e produtos, portanto seu estudo se torna essencial em qualquer âmbito, seja ele econômico, político ou social.

Assim, o trabalho busca discutir a expansão e formação do cooperativismo agroindustrial na Mesorregião Centro Ocidental Paranaense, dando ênfase nas duas maiores cooperativas agroindustriais da região, a Coamo Cooperativa Agroindustrial e a extinta Cooperativa Agroindustrial de Goioerê Coagel. Nesse sentido, na pesquisa buscou-se analisar os fatores que levaram a Coamo a se tornar a maior cooperativa singular da América Latina, e a Coagel ser incorporada pela mesma, procurando entender todo esse processo partindo do local, com suas especificidades. A hipótese da pesquisa é que dentre os fatores que condicionaram tal desempenho da Coamo, foi seu processo de verticalização, aliado a sua expansão territorial, que já atinge três estados brasileiros (PR/SC/MS). Já a Coagel entrou em crise após o declínio do algodão em 1996, que era o carro-chefe da cooperativa, acarretando inicialmente seu arrendamento, em seguida sua incorporação pela Coamo. Em suma, considera-se que esse estudo evidencia os distintos caminhos e perfis estratégicos utilizados para a hegemonização da Coamo, tanto no campo, como na cidade, como as dificuldades encontradas pela Coagel no decorrer de sua história.
