The Intermediate Temperature SOFC (IT-SOFC) offer several advantages over the High Temperature SOFC (HT-SOFC), which includes better thermal compatibility among components, fast start with lower energy consumption, manufacture and operation cost reduction. The CeO2 based materials are alternatives to the Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) to application in SOFC, as they have higher ionic conductivity and less ohmic losses comparing to YSZ, and they can operate at lower temperatures (500-800?C). Ceria has been doped with a variety of cations, although, the Gd3+ has the ionic radius closest to the ideal one to form solid solution. These electrolytes based in ceria require special electrodes with a higher performance and chemical and termomechanical compatibility. In this work compounds of gadolinia-doped ceria, Ce1-xGdxO2-δ (x = 0,1; 0,2 and 0,3), used as electrolytes, were synthesized by polymeric precursors method, Pechini, as well as the composite material NiO - Ce0,9Gd0,1O1,95, used as anode, also attained by oxide mixture method, mixturing the powders of the both phases calcinated already. The materials were characterized by X ray diffraction, dilatometry and scanning electronic microscopy. The refinement of the diffraction data indicated that all the Ce1-xGdxO2-δ powders were crystallized in a unique cubic phase with fluorite structure, and the composite synthesized by Pechini method produced smaller crystallite size in comparison with the same material attained by oxide mixture method. All the produced powders had nanometric characteristics. The composite produced by Pechini method has microstructural characteristics that can increase the triple phase boundaries (TPB) in the anode, improving the cell efficiency, as well as reducing the mass transport mechanism effect that provokes anode degradation / A utiliza??o direta do g?s natural torna a c?lula a combust?vel de ?xido s?lido (SOFC) potencialmente mais competitiva com as atuais tecnologias para convers?o de energia. A SOFC de temperatura intermedi?ria (IT-SOFC) oferece muitas vantagens sobre a SOFC de alta temperatura (HT-SOFC), que incluem melhor compatibilidade t?rmica entre os componentes, partida r?pida com menos consumo energ?tico, redu??o de custos de obten??o e opera??o. Os materiais baseados em CeO2 s?o alternativas aos eletr?litos de zirc?nia estabilizada com ?tria (YSZ) para aplica??es em SOFC, pois t?m condutividade i?nica maior e menores perdas ?hmicas em compara??o a YSZ, e podem operar a temperaturas mais baixas (500-800?C). C?ria tem sido dopada com uma variedade de c?tions, entretanto, o Gd3+ possui o raio i?nico mais pr?ximo do ideal para forma??o da solu??o s?lida. Esses eletr?litos baseados em c?rio requerem eletrodos especiais com um alto desempenho e compatibilidade termomec?nica e qu?mica. Neste trabalho compostos c?ria dopada com gadol?nia, Ce1-xGdxO2-δ (x = 0,1; 0,2 e 0,3), utilizadas como eletr?litos, foram sintetizados a partir do m?todo dos precursores polim?ricos, Pechini, assim como o material comp?sito NiO - Ce0,9Gd0,1O1,95, usado para anodo, obtido tamb?m pelo m?todo de mistura dos ?xidos, p?s das duas fases j? calcinadas. Os materiais foram caracterizados atrav?s das t?cnicas de difra??o de raios X, dilatometria e microscopia eletr?nica de varredura. O refinamento dos dados obtidos pela difra??o de raios X indicou que todos os p?s de Ce1-xGdxO2-δ cristalizaram em uma ?nica fase c?bica com estrutura fluorita, e que o comp?sito obtido por Pechini produziu menores tamanhos de cristalitos das fases em compara??o com o p? sintetizado por mistura de ?xidos em uma mesma temperatura de calcina??o. Todos os p?s obtidos t?m caracter?sticas nanom?tricas. O comp?sito obtido por Pechini possui caracter?sticas microestruturais que podem aumentar a fronteira de fase tripla (TPB) dentro do anodo, melhorando a efici?ncia da c?lula, assim como reduzir o efeito do mecanismo de transporte de massa que provoca degrada??o do anodo

However, some M/C interfaces show some defects, like porosity and cracks results in the degradation of the interfaces, leading even to its total rupture. Most of time, those defects are associated with an improper brazing parameters selection to the M/C system. In this work, ZrO2 Y-TZP and ZrO2 Mg - PSZ were joint with the stainless steel grade 304 by brazing using a eutectic silver-copper (Ag28Cu) interlayer alloy with different thermal cycles. Ceramic surfaces were previous mechanically metallized with titanium to improve adhesion of the system. The effect of temperature on the M/C interface was studied. SEM-EDS and 3 point flexural bend test were performed to evaluate morphology, chemical composition and mechanical resistance of the M/C interfaces. Lower thermal cycle temperatures produced better results of mechanical resistance, and more regular/ homogeneous reaction layers between braze alloy and metal-ceramic surfaces. Also was proved the AgCu braze alloy activation in situ by titanium / Interfaces metal/cer?mica zirc?nia/a?o inox processadas via brasagem v?m sendo utilizadas devido a sua combina??o de propriedades tais como: estabilidade em altas temperaturas, elevada resist?ncia ? corros?o e boas propriedades mec?nicas.

Among them, the ceramic base of stabilized zirconia with 3% yttria (3Y - TZP) stand out for having excellent physical and mechanical properties. During the machining of blocks of zirconia in the laboratory to prepare the various types of prostheses, much of the material is given off in the form of powder, which is subsequently discarded. The waste of this material results in financial loss, reflecting higher final cost treatment for patients, as well as damage to the environment, thanks to the processes involved in the manufacture and disposal of the ceramic. This research, pioneered the recycling of zirconium oxide powder obtained during milling of dental crowns and bridges, we highlight the social and environmental aspects and aims to establish a protocol for the reuse of waste (powder of zirconia Zirkonzahn? system) discarded to obtain a new block of compacted zirconia to maintain the same mechanical and microstructural properties of commercial high-cost imported material. To compare with the commercial material, samples were uniaxially (20 MPa) and isostatically (100 MPa), and its mechanical and microstructural characterization was performed through tests of density, porosity, dilatometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), hardness, fracture toughness, resistance to fracture electron microscopy (SEM) and analysis of grain size. The results observed in the samples were isostatically pressed similiares those obtained with samples from the commercial material demonstrating the viability of the process / Na atualidade, o material de escolha para execu??o de trabalhos prot?ticos est?ticos em odontologia ? o cer?mico.

Having access to primary documents of the Inquisition, at the beginning of the territorial formation of Vila Rica made it possible to understand more the reality of the Holy Office, its interests and how they acted, considering the multiple character of a judge, controller and repressor, apparently acting as maintenance of the Catholic faith. Thus, Vila Rica was selected because it is the main towns in the colonial period of Brazil. Therefore, there was delimitation of space and time; it is worth mentioning that the main Inquisitorial exponent in Vila Rica was the New-Christians (1711-1750).

Also noteworthy is the good ionic conductivity in high temperatures of this component. In this work joining between ZrO2 Y-TZP and ZrO2 Mg-PSZ with austenitic stainless steel was studied. These joints were brazed at high-vacuum after mechanical metallization with Ti using filler alloys composed by Ag-Cu and Ag-Cu-Ni. The influence of the metallization, and the affinity between the different groups (ceramic / filler alloys) was evaluated, in order to achieve strong metal/ceramic joints. Evaluation of joints and interfaces, also the characterization of base materials was implemented using various techniques, such as: x-ray diffraction, leak test, three-point flexural test and scanning electron microscopy with chemical analysis. The microstructural analysis revealed physical and chemical bonds in the metal/ceramic interfaces, providing superior leak proof joints and stress cracking, in order to a good joint in all brazed samples. Precipitation zones and reaction layers with eutetic characteristics were observed between the steel and the filler metal / As interfaces metal/cer?micas utilizando zirc?nia t?m dominado as aplica??es industriais na ?ltima d?cada, em virtude da alta resist?ncia mec?nica e tenacidade ? fratura da zirc?nia, especialmente em temperaturas abaixo de 300 ?C.

However, studies about sleep disturbances and their relationship with quality of sleep are scarce. Besides, it remains to be known how stroke affects the mechanisms of sleep. The aim of this study was to investigate quality of sleep, complaints of sleep disturbances and associated factors in stroke patients from the Physical Therapy services in Natal -RN. This was a cross-sectional descriptive study involving 70 individuals (aged 45-65 years), 40 patients (57 ? 7 years), 11 ? 9 months after injury, and 30 healthy individua ls (52 ? 6 years), evaluated with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Sleep Habits Questionnaire. The data were analyzed by Chi-square test, t Student test and logistic regression. Poor quality sleep was found in 57,5% of the patients (6,3 ? 3,5) and was significantly higher than in the control population (3,9 ? 2,2) (t Student test, p=0,002). The patients showed significantly higher value of PSQI than controls: sleep latency (p=0,019), length of sleep (p=0,039) and dysfunction during the day (p=0,001). Regarding complaints of sleep disturbances (dyssomnias and parasomnias) analyzed by Chi-square test, the complaint of insomnia was the most prevalent (patients: 37,5%; healthy subjects: 6,7%; p=0,007). Regression analysis showed that sl eep latency (p=0,036) and complaint of insomnia (p=0,036) were associated with quality sleep. In addition, female gender (p=0,036) and complaint of broken sleep (p=0,003) were considered risk factors for the presence of insomnia. Our results show that stroke affects the homeostatic process of sleep. Shorter sleep latency and the absence of insomnia are considered protective factors for good sleep quality and this should be taken into consideration in the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies / A les?o cerebral pode estar associada a altera??es do ciclo sono-vig?lia. No entanto, estudos sobre dist?rbios do sono e suas rela??es com a qualidade de sono s?o raros. Al?m disso, ainda precisa ser conhecido como o Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC) afeta os mecanismos do sono. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a qualidade de sono, as queixas de dist?rbios do sono e os fatores associados nos pacientes com AVC de servi?os de Fisioterapia em Natal-RN. Este foi um estudo transversal e volvendo 70 indiv?duos (idade 45-65 anos) , 40 pacientes (57 ? 7 anos), 11 ? 9 meses ap?s a les?o, e 30 saud?veis (52 ? 6 anos), avaliados com o ?ndice de Qualidade de sono de Pittsburgh (IQSP) e o Question?rio de H?bitos do Sono. Os dados foram analisados atrav?s dos testes Qui-quadrado, t Student e da Regress?o Log?stica. Qualidade de sono ruim foi encontrada em 57,5% dos pacientes (6,3 ? 3,5) e foi significativamente maior do que na popula??o controle (3,9 ? 2,2) (teste t Student, p=0,002). Os pacientes apresentaram valor significativamente maior de IQSP do que os controles: lat?ncia para o sono ( p=0,019), dura??o do sono (p=0,039) e disfun??o durante o dia (p=0,001). Com rela??o ?s queixas de dist?rbios de sono (dissonias e parassonias) analisadas pelo Qui-quadrado, a queixa de ins?nia foi a mais prevalente (pacientes: 37,5%; saud?veis: 6,7%; p=0,007). A an?lise de regress?o mostrou que a lat?ncia para o sono (p=0,036) e a queixa de ins?nia (p=0,036) estiveram associadas com qualidade de sono. Al?m disso, o sexo feminino (p=0,036) e a queixa de sono fragmentado (p=0,003) foram considerados fatores de risco para a presen?a de ins?nia. Nossos resultados mostram que o AVC afeta o processo homeost?tico do sono. A menor lat?ncia para o sono e a aus?ncia de ins?nia s?o consideradas fatores de prote??o para a boa qualidade de sono e isso deve ser levado em considera??o nas estrat?gias diagn?stica e terap?utica.

Entre as t?cnicas existentes, os controladores fuzzy destacam-se pela sua capacidade de tratar de severas n?o linearidades presentes em plantas reais e por conseguir representar o conhecimento especialista, que ? impreciso e inexato matematicamente. Este trabalho estudou dois tipos de controladores fuzzy existentes, baseados no modelo Sugeno, sendo fuzzy tipo-1, aqui classificado como fuzzy convencional, e o fuzzy tipo-2. Devido a complexidade em sintonizar controladores fuzzy que apresentam uma grande quantidade de par?metros, esse trabalho se prop?e a testar diferentes m?todos de otimiza??o meta-heur?sticos para a sintonia de controladores. Para validar os controladores obtidos foi utilizado um servo motor-DC da Quanser, um problema de controle que requer precis?o e velocidade na corre??o do erro de segmento da refer?ncia. Com o intuito de comparar o comportamento dos controladores, otimizou-se um controlador PI para cada um dos sistemas. Para quantificar e qualificar cada controlador foram utilizados tr?s ?ndices de avalia??o, ITEA, IEA e o ?ndice de Goodhart, este ?ltimo utilizado por levar em considera??o tamb?m o sinal de controle aplicado na planta. Pela an?lise dos resultados obtidos, o controlador fuzzy tipo-2 apresentou ganho significativo para o controle dessa planta, quando otimizado com o m?todo PSO. Pelos resultados, pode-se tamb?m inferir que o algoritmo das formigas n?o mostrou-se adequado para esse problema, com a fun??o de avalia??o proposta. / Differents stategies and control algorithms are already tested and registered by industry. Among the existing techniques, fuzzy controllers stand out for their ability to deal with nonlinearities present in real plants. Another fuzzy also allows to best represent expert knowledge, which is mathematically inaccurate. This proposal studied the two types of fuzzy controllers, based on Sugeno Model, the fuzzy type-1 is classified as conventional fuzzy and fuzzy type-2. In this study is used optimization techniques seeking to tune controllers in order to solve one of the biggest problem in fuzzy logic, its tunning. Ant colony, particle swarm and genetic algorithm are used and evaluated to this problem. A servo motor-dc is used to validate fuzzys controllers and pi controller obtained by optimization tecniques. In order to quantify and qualify each controller, three indices were used IEA, ITEA and Goodhart index. The results obtained prove that the type-2 fuzzy controller presented significant gain for the control of this plant, when optimized with the PSO method. From the results, it can also be inferred that the ant algorithm was not adequate for this problem, with the proposed evaluation function.

With this, it still affects the activity of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and the concentration of metabolites in plants. Its activity was first reported as a metal chelator. Therefore, to make use of this herbicide, may be formation of complexes with metals from soil, occurring change in the effectiveness of the product and loss of minerals. Thus, to avoid such problems,this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of three forms of glyphosate: purified, previously complexed with metals, and a commercial form (Roundup WG?). The effects of glyphosate complexes with copper, cobalt and nickel with different stoichiometries and different pH values on the in vitro activity of EPSPs were evaluated. Selected complex for the first experiment in vivo were Cu421 and Co821 (first number for pH and the latter two to stoichiometry glyphosate: metal). These complexes were used in the in vivo experiment I, as well as distilled water (control), purified Roundup and glyphosate on transgenic soybean and B. decumbens. In the following experiments (II and III), mineral oil was used in all treatments to reduce leaching of the compounds. The complex selected for continuation of this study was Cu421 due to its emphasis on the results obtained in the first experiment in vivo. When comparing the effect of the compounds in Falker Chlorophyll Index (ICF) of B. decumbens compared to control, there was fall of this index when using Roundup, Cu421 and purified glyphosate (the latter only in the second experiment). Later it was analyzed fresh mass accumulation and collected fresh material for determination of enzyme activities and N-NO3- levels. The complex Cu421 caused a more significant fresh mass reduction and still allowed the increase in the content of soluble nitrate in Brachiaria decumbens, probably due to the presence of nitrate in this complex. In the case of transgenic soybean there was no significant change in ICF. The use of Roundup and the complex did not change significantly the fresh mass accumul ation in this species. The application of the purified glyphosate, however, caused increase in mass accumulation and all treatments altered soybeans in nitrate content. In experiments with mineral oil in B. decumbens, the Cu421 complex inhibited significantly the EPSPs activity, as well as purified Roundup and glyphosate (the latter only in the experiment III). No inhibition occurred in transgenic soybean. All treatments in vivo stimulated PAL activity only on weed, which suggests that the increase in this activity is a consequence of the inhibition of EPSPs and other deleterious effects of compounds on susceptible plants. This study showed that especially Cu421 complex might be used effectively as a herbicide since it inhibits EPSPs, activates the PA,L reduces fresh mass accumulation and influences photosynthesis in the tested weed. Besides, the transgenic soybean showed little sensitive to this compound, which further increases the prospect of using the same as herbicide. / O glifosato, herbicida usado mundialmente, atua inibindo a enzima 5-enolpiruvil-chiquimato- 3-fosfato-sintase (EPSPs), bloqueando a s?ntese de amino?cidos arom?ticos. Com isso, ainda influencia a atividade de fenilalanina am?nia liase (PAL) e a concentra??o de metab?litos nas plantas. A sua primeira a??o reportada foi como agente quelante de metais. Portanto, ao fazer uso deste herbicida, pode haver forma??o de complexos com metais do solo, ocorrendo altera??o da efic?cia do produto e defici?ncia mineral. Assim, de modo a evitar tais problemas, este trabalho teve como objetivo, comparar a efici?ncia de tr?s formas de glifosato: purificado, previamente complexado com metais, e uma das suas formas comerciais (Roundup WG?). Os efeitos de complexos de glifosato com cobre, cobalto e n?quel, sintetizados sob diferentes estequiometrias e valores de pH, foram avaliados sobre a atividade in vitro de EPSPs. Os complexos selecionados para o primeiro experimento in vivo foram: Cu421 e Co821 (primeiro n?mero referente ao pH e os dois ?ltimos ? estequiometria glifosato:metal). Estes complexos foram usados no experimento in vivo I, assim como ?gua destilada (controle), Roundup e glifosato purificado, sobre soja transg?nica e Brachiaria decumbens. Nos experimentos seguintes utilizou-se ?leo mineral em todos os tratamentos para reduzir a lixivia??o dos compostos. O complexo selecionado para continua??o deste estudo foi o Cu421 devido a seu destaque nos resultados obtidos no primeiro experimento in vivo. Ao comparar o efeito dos compostos no ?ndice de Clorofila Falker (ICF) de B. decumbens em rela??o ao controle, observou-se queda deste ?ndice ao usar Roundup, Cu421 e glifosato purificado (este ?ltimo, somente no segundo experimento). Posteriormente foi analisado ac?mulo de massa fresca e coletado material fresco para determina??o das atividades enzim?ticas e dos teores N-NO3-. O complexo Cu421 foi o que provocou maior redu??o da massa fresca e ainda possibilitou o aumento no teor sol?vel de nitrato em B. decumbens, provavelmente devido ? presen?a de nitrato neste complexo. No caso da soja transg?nica n?o houve altera??o significativa de ICF. O uso de Roundup e dos complexos n?o alterou de forma significativa o ac?mulo de massa fresca nesta esp?cie. A aplica??o do glifosato purificado, entretanto, causou incremento no ac?mulo de massa e todos os tratamentos alteraram o teor de nitrato em soja. Nos experimentos com ?leo mineral em B. decumbens, o complexo Cu421 inibiu de forma significativa a atividade de EPSPs, assim como Roundup e glifosato purificado (este ?ltimo, somente no experimento III). Em soja transg?nica n?o houve inibi??o. Todos os tratamentos in vivo estimularam a atividade de PAL somente na gram?nea, permitindo sugerir que o aumento nesta atividade seja consequ?ncia da inibi??o de EPSPs e de outros efeitos delet?rios dos compostos sobre plantas suscept?veis. O presente estudo mostrou que principalmente o complexo Cu421 pode vir a ser utilizado de forma eficaz como herbicida, uma vez que inibe a EPSPs, ativa a PAL, reduz ac?mulo de massa fresca e influencia a fotoss?ntese na planta daninha testada. E, em contrapartida, a soja transg?nica mostrou-se pouco sens?vel a este composto, o que aumenta ainda mais a perspectiva do uso do mesmo como herbicida.
