It aims to present a theological analysis of the origin of the universe as well as the prominent part played in it by the intelligent phenomenon, based on the relationship between Cosmology, specifically the Cosmological Anthropic Principle, and the narrative of Creation on as described in Gn1, 1-2.4a. This study is justified by the necessity of bringing the cosmos back to the theological reflection, on the one hand, while, on the other, by the difficulty experienced by Theology as it deals with subjects related to Cosmology, specifically the origin of the universe. The basic hypothesis is the unconditional relationship of interdependency that exists between man and universe. Actually, it is only within the cosmos that the intelligent phenomenon can be fully realized. Therefore, if Theology understands God as the Creator, it follows that Theology has to make clear the proper mechanism that enable it to assert that God is the Creator of the universe. The work adopts the methodological approach of conceptual parallelism, that is, the theological understanding of creation as it is read in the narrative of Gn 1, 1-2.4a, and the one defined by the Cosmological Anthropic intelligent Principle. In the end, the present work leads to the following remarkable conclusions: the impossibility of using the cosmological discoveries and their conceptions to attest the existence of a Creator; the connection between man and universe; the strengthening of a theological view that realizes the intelligent phenomenon not as an efficient cause in the cosmos, but as the originator of a finality to it; a convergence of both theological and cosmological reflections to an ecological ethics as a way to respect the evolutive process of life, and, as a consequence, to care for it / A presente dissertação é uma reflexão interdisciplinar sobre a Teologia da Criação. Seu objetivo é apresentar uma análise teológica sobre a origem do universo e a relevância do fenômeno inteligente no seu interior, a partir da relação entre a Cosmologia, de modo específico, do Princípio Cosmológico Antrópico e a narrativa da criação de Gn 1, 1-2,4a. Sua realização justifica-se pela necessidade de recuperar o cosmo na reflexão teológica, bem como, pela dificuldade que a Teologia encontra para lidar com temas oriundos da Cosmologia, especificamente sobre a origem do universo. A hipótese básica é a relação incondicional de interdependência que o homem possui com o universo. Somente no interior do cosmo é possível pensar a importância do fenômeno inteligente humano. Ora, se a Teologia compreende que Deus é o criador, ela necessita explicitar as mediações adequadas para afirmar como Deus é o criador do universo. No presente trabalho recorreu-se ao expediente metodológico do confronto conceitual, entre a concepção teológica da criação expressa na narrativa de Gn 1,1-2,4a e aquela expressa pela formulação do Princípio Cosmológico Antrópico. Como resultado obtido, destaca-se: a impossibilidade da utilização das descobertas cosmológicas e de suas concepções, para comprovar a existência de um ser criador; a conexão do homem com o universo; o fortalecimento de uma visão teológica que sustenta que o fenômeno inteligente não é uma causalidade eficiente no cosmo, mas que gesta uma causa final para o mesmo; a convergência das reflexões teológicas e cosmológicas para uma ética ecológica, como forma de respeito e cuidado para com o processo evolutivo da vida

Manguezais são formados por grupos de árvores e arbustos que se desenvolvem na zona de intermarés de regiões tropicais. Este ecossistema ao se estabelecer na interface do ambiente marinho e continental, apresenta sua formação relacionada com as flutuações relativas do nível do mar quaternário, através do preenchimento dos vales dos rios, margens de lagunas e baías com sedimentos tanto de origem continental como marinha. O conhecimento da distribuição de partículas e dos minerais constituintes da assembléia mineralógica dos solos em ambiente de planícies estuarinas, auxilia na compreensão de processos de sedimentação e geoquímica dentro dos estuários. O trabalho foi realizado nos manguezais distribuídos ao longo do litoral do Estado de São Paulo, e objetivou-se caracterizar os ambientes de sedimentação de acordo com a granulometria e o processo de evolução quaternária, determinar qualitativamente e semiquantitativamente a assembléia mineralógica e estudar em detalhe os tipos de esmectitas presentes nesses solos. Para tanto foram coletadas amostras de solos de 14 manguezais nas camadas de 0-20 e 60-80cm e de sedimento em suspensão do Rio Ribeira de Iguape, além de amostras de diferentes profundidades para datações. Determinaram-se as frações, argila, silte, areia total e 5 frações da areia, foram realizadas datações 14C por cintilação líquida e AMS na fração humina da matéria orgânica e por termoluminescência em grãos de quartzo. As análises mineralógicas foram realizadas na fração silte e argila e no sedimento em suspensão através de DRX, IV, MET, MEV com microanálise, ATD e ATG, realizou-se também o teste de Greene- Kelly para identificar o tipo de esmectitas presentes nesses solos. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, concluiu-se que os solos dos manguezais do Estado de São Paulo podem apresentar diferentes texturas desde arenosa até muito argilosa, freqüentemente contêm altos teores de silte e todos têm idade holocênica, oscilando entre 410 anos A.P. e 3.700 anos; a distribuição de partículas está relacionada à morfologia atual do estuário e à natureza dos sedimentos costeiros adjacentes; a assembléia mineralógica da fração fina dos solos é constituída de pirita, nontronita, caulinita, illita, gibbsita, quartzo, feldspato, e localmente ocorrem goethita, vermiculita, biotita, halloysita e anatásio; os minerais alóctones são de origem continental e marinha; a distinção entre os cenários geomorfológicos ao longo do litoral condiciona a distribuição de minerais, e ainda foi inferido que ocorre neoformação de esmectita e de caulinita, e que o processo de oxidação de matéria orgânica nesses solos pode estar utilizando o Fe3+ da nontronita como receptor de elétrons. / Mangroves are formed by groups of trees and shrubs that develop in the intertidal zone of tropical regions. This ecosystem to establish in the interface of both marine and continental environment, present its formation related to the sea-level fluctuations during the quaternary period, where the terrigenous and marine sediments are deposited in rivers valleys, edges of lagoons and bays. The knowledge of both particle distribution and minerals constituent of soils in estuarines areas, can aid to understand the processes of sedimentation and geochemistry in this site. This study was carried out with mangroves distributed along the São Paulo State coast, and aims to characterize the sedimentary environments in accordance with grain size and process of quaternary evolution, to determine qualitatively and semiquantitatively the mineralogical assemblage and to identify the smectites types in these soils. Samples were collected from 14 mangroves soils at the layers 0-20 and 60-80cm, and also was collected sediment in suspension of the Ribeira de Iguape River, and samples of different depths for dating. The clay, silt and total sand sizes and 5 sand fractions were determined, radiocarbon dating were carried out by liquid scintillation counting and accelerator mass spectrometry in humin fraction of the soil organic matter and by thermoluminescence of quartz grains. The mineralogical analyses were carried out by XRD, FTIR, TEM, SEM, DTA and GTA in silt and clay sizes and in the sediment in suspension, also was made the Greene-Kelly test to identify the smectites type. According to the results we concluded that the mangroves soils from São Paulo State have different textures varying from sandy up to very clay, also occuring high silt contents. All the mangroves are holocenic, with ages varying from 410 yr B.P. to 3,700 yr; the particle distribution is related to the current geomorphological setting of the estuary and the origin of coastal sediments. The mineralogical assemblage is constituted of pyrite, nontronite, kaolinite, illite, biotite, gibbsite, quartz, feldspars, and locally occurs goethite, vermiculite, halloysite and anatase; the aloctones minerals are from both the terrigenous and marine origin; the difference between geomorphological settings along the coastal plain rules mineral distribution, and still it was inferred the neoformation of esmectita and kaolinite and that the process of organic matter mineralization in these soils may be using Fe3+ from nontronite as an electron acceptor.

Horizontes coesos de solos da região nordeste do Brasil, faixa de domínio dos Tabuleiros Costeiros, são uma séria limitação para a produtividade das culturas devido ao incremento acentuado da resistência do solo à penetração, sob condições de secamento do solo. Solos similares foram reconhecidos na Austrália e identificados como hardsetting. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi demonstrar que o caráter coeso de um Latossolo Amarelo localizado na Bahia é equivalente ao atributo hardsetting utilizado na descrição do solos australianos. A tese foi dividida em três capítulos. O primeiro capítulo apresenta uma revisão de literatura sobre os conceitos que norteiam os designativos coeso e hardsetting. O segundo capítulo descreve uma pesquisa de campo que demonstra que solos com caráter coeso e hardsetting apresentam o mesmo comportamento, no que diz respeito às feições morfológicas e resistência à penetração. O terceiro capítulo apresenta um estudo de laboratório que demonstrou, por meio da análise de parâmetros físicos e micromorfológicos, que o adensamento natural das partículas foi o principal fator que contribuiu com a ocorrência do caráter coeso do solo. / "Cohesive" soil horizons from the northeastern region of Brazil, domain of Low Coastal Tablelands, represents a serious limitation for crop production due to the huge increase in soil resistance to penetration as the soil dries. Similar soils have been reported in Australia and identified as hardsetting. The objective of this research was to demonstrate that a Yellow Cohesive Latosol located in Bahia is equivalent to the hardsetting attribute used in the description of Australian soils. The thesis was divide in three chapters. The first chapter presents a literature review on the "cohesive" and hardsetting concepts. The second chapter describes a field research showing that a "cohesive" and a hardsetting soil have the same behavior regarding their morphological features and resistance to penetration. The third chapter presents a laboratory study where is demonstrated that the natural densification of soil particles has a major contribution on the "cohesive" behavior.

A vegetação de restinga é uma formação típica que ocorre na costa brasileira em materiais de origem quartzosos e pobres em nutrientes. O principal processo pedogenético que ocorre nos solos sob essa vegetação é a podzolização, sendo os Espodossolos e os Neossolos com podzolização incipiente os solos mais comumente encontrados. A podzolização é freqüentemente estudada em regiões de clima frio, sendo escassos os estudos dos mesmos em clima tropical e desenvolvidos sobre sedimentos marinhos quartzosos. Foram coletados e descritos morfologicamente nove perfis de solos sob vegetação de restinga na Ilha do Cardoso-SP com o objetivo de caracterizá-los em sua química, física, morfologia, mineralogia e estudar a dinâmica do Fe e do Al nestes solos com o intuito não só de se compreender melhor a gênese dos mesmos como para contribuir com o aprimoramento do Sistema Brasileiro de Classificação de Solos (SiBCS). Os resultados mostraram solos hidromórficos, arenosos, muito ácidos, com teores variáveis de matéria orgânica e fases não cristalinas Al e Fe, sendo que o Al é o metal que participa mais efetivamente do processo de podzolização, o qual é altamente dependente da hidromorfia. Este fato é evidenciado pela microtopografia, que exerce papel importante na distribuição dos solos. Foi identificada pirita em alguns horizontes (2Cgj), os quais apresentam características distintas em relação aos demais, tais como textura mais fina e presença de esmectita. Este material de origem influencia até os horizontes espódicos, reduzindo o pH bruscamente na determinação da TFSA (terra fina seca ao ar), devido à influência indireta promovida pelo lençol freático. Nos horizontes espódicos, os principais minerais encontrados foram o feldspato e o quartzo na fração silte e a caulinita e o quartzo na fração argila, evidenciando uma assembléia mineralógica mais pobre em relação a outros Espodossolos de clima frio e até mesmo em relação a outros da costa brasileira. Isso ocorre devido principalmente ao próprio material de origem ser muito pobre em minerais primários intemperizáveis. O SiBCS mostrou falhas na classificação da ordem Espodossolos a partir do 2º nível categórico (subordem), principalmente no que diz respeito ao acúmulo de Fe no horizonte espódico. Sugerese a inserção da denominação “tiônico” no quarto nível categórico, devido à possibilidade da ocorrência de solos tiomórficos, se forem drenados, bem como a adoção de um critério químico na distinção das subordens dos Espodossolos. As relações Carbono/Metal evidenciaram a baixa participação do Fe, sendo o Al o responsável pela precipitação química do complexo organometálico. Os Espodossolos estudados são holocênicos e a podzolização é dependente da hidromorfia. A presença de sulfetos de ferro afeta parte dos solos estudados e pode coincidir com horizontes espódicos. / Restinga vegetation is a typical formation that occurs in brazilizan coast, on quartzitic, sandy poor parent material. The main pedogenic process that occurs in soils under this vegetation is the podzolization, being the Spodosols and Quartzipsamments, with incipient podzolization, the most common soils. Podzolization is frequently studied in regions of cold climate, with a lack of studies in tropical climate and quartzitic material. Nine soil profiles under restinga vegetation at Ilha do Cardoso, São Paulo State, had been sampled and morphologically described with the objective to proceed chemical, physical, morphological and mineralogical characterization and study Fe and Al dynamics in these soil with the aim of better comprehend its genesis, as well as contribute to an improvement of the Brazilian System of Soil Classification (SiBCS). The results had shown aquic, sandy, very acid soils with variable contents of organic matter and Al and Fe non crystalline phases. Al appears to be the metal that participate more effectively on podzolization process, which is highly dependent on aquic conditions. Being so, microtopography plays an important role in soil distribution. Pyrite and smectite was also identified in clay horizons (2Cgj) related to a distinct parent material. This material also influences spodic horizon chemistry generating low pH values in dried samples due to water table effects. Spodic horizons are mainly constitute by feldspar and quartz, in the silt fraction, and kaolinite and quartz, in the clay fraction, evidencing a poor mineralogical assembly in relation to other Spodosols of cold climate and even to those of Brazilian coast. This mainly occurs due to parent material which presents few weatherable primary minerals. SiBCS showed imperfections in the classification of Spodosols from 2nd categorical level (suborder), mainly because the absence of a chemical criteria for Fe accumulation in spodic horizon. We suggest the insertion of "thionic " denomination in the 4th categorical level because of the possible formation of acid sulphate soils in response to drainage, as well as the adoption of a chemical criteria in the distinction of subordens of Spodosols. Carbon/Metal ratios had evidenced low participation of Fe, being Al responsible for chemical precipitation of organo-metallic complex. Our Spodosols are holocenic and podzolization process depends on aquic conditions. Presence of iron sulfides affects some of the studied soils an also coincide with spodic horizons.

At the institute of technology of building materials and components at the fakulty of civil engineering in Brno was initiated research deal with study of the effect of limestone on the progress of decarbonization. This work is an introductory study into this problems. It focuses on describing the genesis and diagenesis of limestones, their crystallography, texture and requirements for burning. Further describes the extraction and treatment of limestones before burning. In very burning is focused on its mechanism and the used furnace systems. In the experimental part is focused on the analysis of samples of limestones of various world sites in terms of petrology, geological origin, chemical composition, the content of insoluble residues, density and porosity, and analysis of formed limes, burned at 900 °C in terms of density, CO2 content and crystal size.

Shared clusters represent an excellent platform for the execution of parallel applications given their low price/performance ratio and the presence of cluster infrastructure in many organisations. The focus of recent research efforts are on parallelism management, transport and efficient access to resources, and making clusters easy to use. In this thesis, we examine reliable parallel computing on clusters. The aim of this research is to demonstrate the feasibility of developing an operating system facility providing transport fault tolerance using existing, enhanced and newly built operating system services for supporting parallel applications. In particular, we use existing process duplication and process migration services, and synthesise a group communications facility for use in a transparent checkpointing facility. This research is carried out using the methods of experimental computer science. To provide a foundation for the synthesis of the group communications and checkpointing facilities, we survey and review related work in both fields. For group communications, we examine the V Distributed System, the x-kernel and Psync, the ISIS Toolkit, and Horus. We identify a need for services that consider the placement of processes on computers in the cluster. For Checkpointing, we examine Manetho, KeyKOS, libckpt, and Diskless Checkpointing. We observe the use of remote computer memories for storing checkpoints, and the use of copy-on-write mechanisms to reduce the time to create a checkpoint of a process. We propose a group communications facility providing two sets of services: user-oriented services and system-oriented services. User-oriented services provide transparency and target application. System-oriented services supplement the user-oriented services for supporting other operating systems services and do not provide transparency. Additional flexibility is achieved by providing delivery and ordering semantics independently. An operating system facility providing transparent checkpointing is synthesised using coordinated checkpointing. To ensure a consistent set of checkpoints are generated by the facility, instead of blindly blocking the processes of a parallel application, only non-deterministic events are blocked. This allows the processes of the parallel application to continue execution during the checkpoint operation. Checkpoints are created by adapting process duplication mechanisms, and checkpoint data is transferred to remote computer memories and disk for storage using the mechanisms of process migration. The services of the group communications facility are used to coordinate the checkpoint operation, and to transport checkpoint data to remote computer memories and disk. Both the group communications facility and the checkpointing facility have been implemented in the GENESIS cluster operating system and provide proof-of-concept. GENESIS uses a microkernel and client-server based operating system architecture, and is demonstrated to provide an appropriate environment for the development of these facilities. We design a number of experiments to test the performance of both the group communications facility and checkpointing facility, and to provide proof-of-performance. We present our approach to testing, the challenges raised in testing the facilities, and how we overcome them. For group communications, we examine the performance of a number of delivery semantics. Good speed-ups are observed and system-oriented group communication services are shown to provide significant performance advantages over user-oriented semantics in the presence of packet loss. For checkpointing, we examine the scalability of the facility given different levels of resource usage and a variable number of computers. Low overheads are observed for checkpointing a parallel application. It is made clear by this research that the microkernel and client-server based cluster operating system provide an ideal environment for the development of a high performance group communications facility and a transparent checkpointing facility for generating a platform for reliable parallel computing on clusters.

Early in the genesis of Mauritian Creole (MC), the quantificational determiners of its lexifier language, French, incorporated into a large number of the nouns that they combined with, resulting in the occurrence of bare nouns in argument positions, yielding (in)definite, singular, plural and generic interpretations. These early changes were accompanied by the loss all inflectional morphology, as well as the loss of the French copula, and that of the Case assigning prepositions à ('of') and de ('of') which are used in partitive and genitive constructions respectively. I argue that these changes triggered a parametric shift in noun denotation, from predicative in French to argumental in MC, and account for the fact that MC has a very different determiner system from its lexifier. My analysis is motivated by both Longobardi's (1994) claim that only DPs can be arguments, NPs cannot, and Chierchia's (1998b) seemingly incompatible claim that N can be an argument when it is Kind denoting. I provide detailed account of the emergence of the new MC determiners, from their first attestations in the early 18th century, to the end of the 19th century, when the determiner system settles into a form that is still used today. Following an analysis of the modern MC determiner system, I propose that MC nouns are lexically stored as argumental, Kind denoting terms, which share some of the distributional properties of English bare plurals, such as their ability to occur in argument positions without a determiner. The new quantificational determiners are analyzed as 'type shifting operators' that shift Kinds and predicate nominals into argumental noun phrases. The singular indefinite article enn and the plural marker bann assign existential quantification over instances of Kind denoting count nouns, and the null definite determiner is an operator that quantifies over the totality of a set. The differential behaviour of MC count vs. mass nouns is accounted for in terms of the Number argument which must be realized for common count nouns. Some seemingly 'bare' nouns comprise a phonologically null definite determiner equivalent to French le/la and English the. Subject-object asymmetry of count nouns in MC provides evidence for the occurrence of this null element which requires licensing in certain syntactic environments. The Specificity marker la, which serves to mark anaphoric definiteness, is shown to be a 'last resort' means of licensing the null definite determiner. My syntactic analysis is within Chomsky's (1995b) Minimalist framework and a Formal Semantics (Partee 1986), both of which stipulate legitimate operator variable constructions. The loss of the French quantificational determiners, and that of the copula meant that early MC lacked overt sources of quantification at both the nominal and clausal levels. In my analysis of the emerging MC determiner system, I look at the new sources of quantification that arise in order to establish the referential properties of nouns, and I show how these various strategies are linked to the means by which the semantic features of Definiteness, Deixis, Number and Specificity are expressed, and also the means by which the syntactic function of predication is realized.

西部苗族有豐富又多彩的創世故事，這是他們民族分散在廣大的地區並與其他民族接觸的結果。其龐大的神系有需多不同創造天地萬物的神，有的是男神，有的是女神，有的男女神是夫妻而分配創造天地。由於苗族在20世紀起才開始有自己的文字，在此之前他們是以口傳方式延續其創世神話。雖然這些神話故事時有宗教方面的色彩，但是它們本身並無神聖的地位。 希伯來人的創世故事記錄於《聖經》〈創世記〉。它們反映了早期的書寫傳統。他們的神是男神，也是唯一的神。因為這些故事的地位神聖，被視為是其唯一正統的創造故事，因此被留傳下來的版本被賦與不可改變或附加其他內容的神聖地位。 兩個完全不同的創世傳統可以提供非常豐富的對比研究。筆者對兩個創世傳統所反映對神、對宇宙結構與對道德的觀念特別有興趣。透過研究發現，這兩個表面上完全不同的創世傳統，深入探討後，發現二者竟有許多相似之處。共同的概念包含天地被至高無上之神創造、混沌的原始世界、創造好的完美世界被死亡與疾病破壞、樂園的失去、普世的洪水氾濫、泥土造人、善與惡的對立等。筆者假設以上的共同概念，再加上無故土的西部苗族很容易認同歷史上亡國的希伯來人，導致其對基督教的接受度有比較高的傾向。 / The Western Miao have an abundance of rich and colorful creation myths. This is the result of their living scattered over a large area, and interacting with other ethnic groups. Their large pantheon contains many different kinds of creator gods. Some are male, some are female, and some are male/female couples. Because the Miao did not have their own alphabet until the early 20th century, any passing on of their myths was done orally. Although these myths sometimes hint of religious influences, they do not have sacred status in themselves. The Hebrew creation myths are recorded in the Bible, in the book of Genesis. They reflect an early written tradition. Their God is male, and He alone is God. Because of their sacred status, these stories are seen as the only legitimate creation stories. Thus, in passing down these stories, no changes or additions can be made. Two such very different creation traditions provide rich opportunities for comparison. The author is especially interested in examining how these stories reflect different concepts of god, of the structure of the universe, and of morality. This study revealed that while on the surface, these two creation traditions appeared to be very different, a deeper probe revealed many similarities. These included the concept of a supreme creator God, original chaos, a perfect world marred by the introduction of sickness and death, the loss of paradise, a universal flood, man made from clay, the dual opposites of good and evil, etc. The author postulates that these similarities, plus the fact that the Miao, without a homeland, could relate to the Hebrews, contributed to their easy acceptance of Christianity.

Dans un monde devenu séculier et où la tradition chrétienne est en recul, on est en droit de se poser la question de la pertinence des textes bibliques. En lien avec cette situation, on peut aussi se demander quelle représentation de Dieu émerge de la façon dont on accueille ces textes. Ce type de questionnement sous-tend l’intérêt que peut représenter une approche processuelle des textes bibliques, approche encore peu connue dans le monde francophone. Celle-ci est-elle en mesure d’apporter une certaine nouveauté dans la vision de Dieu généralement proposée en milieu chrétien ? Pour répondre à cela, il a semblé pertinent de tenter l’exercice à partir d’un texte englobant et fondateur. Genèse 2, connu pour raconter la création d’Adam et Ève, est porteur d’images presque stéréotypées à force d’avoir été lu et remâché. À ce titre, il a paru particulièrement approprié. Mais, avant même d’explorer le texte sous un angle processuel, il s’est avéré indispensable de commencer cette démarche par une traduction personnelle du texte hébreu, à partir et avec l’aide d’une analyse syntaxique et textuelle, dont on verra qu’elles ont ouvert le texte à de nouvelles hypothèses de traduction, de nouvelles nuances, comme autant de pistes à confronter à une théologie processuelle. Enfin, cette analyse ne peut se faire sans être en dialogue avec différents commentaires, exégétiques ou non, afin de souligner les convergences comme les divergences rencontrées au fil de la recherche et de la réflexion. / In the world that has become secular and where the Christian tradition is declining, we are entitled to question the pertinence of the biblical texts. In link with this situation, one can also wonder which representation of God arises depending how one receives these texts. This type of questioning underlies the interest that a Process approach of biblical texts can represent, even though the approach is still not much known in the French-speaking world. Does this approach possesses the ability of bringing some novelty to the vision of God generally offered in the Christian world ? To answer this, it seemed preferable to try the experience from a founding and forerunner text. Genesis 2, known to tell the creation of Adam and Eve, is bearing most stereotypic images by having been read and read, and chewed again. Therefore, seemed to be particularly accurate. But even before exploring the text from a Process angle, it has been proved essential to begin this with a personal translation of the Hebrew text, from and with the help of a syntactic and textual analysis, which as it will be shown, has conducted to open the text to new assumptions of translations and nuances, as so many tracks to be confronted to a Process theology. Finally, this analysis cannot be made without engaging in a dialogue with different commentaries, exegetical or not, in order to underline the convergences as well as the divergences met in the course of the research and of the reflexion.
