Os complexos alcalinos de forma geral geralmente apresentam trabalhos de cunho geológico. Raramente são apresentados estudos que englobam vários complexos alcalinos. Almeida e Ulbrich são autores que conseguiram realizar o estudo de vários complexos do ponto de vista tectônico e petrográfico. Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar, do ponto de vista geofísico, vários complexos alcalinos. Como o número de complexos localizados no Brasil é enorme, houve uma dificuldade em analisar um numero muito grande, haja visto que para analisar os complexos é necessário coletar dados sobre os corpos. Nesse trabalho são apresentados dados gravimétricos e magnéticos sobre 12 complexos alcalinos. Em alguns casos não houve resposta gravimétrica de alguns complexos alcalinos, no entanto o magnético geralmente apresentou resposta, já que a maior parte desses complexos é enriquecido em minerais ferrimagnéticos. Poços de Caldas foi uma exceção não apresentando resposta magnética equivalente aos demais complexos estudados. Alguns parâmetros como massa e volume foram determinados através do modelamento 3D dos dados gravimétricos e magnéticos. A distribuição de massa para cada complexo alcalino modelado indica a tendência de alojamento de cada corpo ao longo de estruturas como falhas, zonas de charneira, arcos, entre outros. Cada complexo foi estudado independentemente formando capítulos independentes. / The alkaline complexes are show in this work, bring of geophysical analyses.

Some parameters such as mass and volume were determined via 3D modeling of gravity and magnetic data.

This study focuses on utilizing an energy harvesting system in which a dedicated Radio Frequency (RF) power source transmits RF power via rebar in a reinforced concrete column. The RF power is received and decoupled by a receiver, and is then rectified, boosted, and stored as electrical energy in a supercapacitor, later to be used to make measurements, process data, and communicate to the source via rebar. Two design attempts are presented in this study: (a) one uses single line conduction at 2.4 GHz for RF power transfer; (b) the other uses a more conventional two-line conduction at 8.0 kHz for RF power transfer. Both designs were unsuccessful: (a) the 2.4 GHz attempt demonstrated that no detectable RF power propagated through the concrete medium; (b) the 8.0 kHz attempt demonstrated that too much of the RF power was attenuated through the concrete medium for the energy harvesting circuitry work properly. A potential third design approach is posited in the conclusion of this study. In addition to investigating power transfer designs, a study on the energy harvesting circuitry was performed. A Two-Stage Dickson Multiplier was utilized in conjunction with a Texas Instruments BQ25504 Ultra-Low Power Energy Harvesting Circuit. For these two components to function best, it was shown that the BQ25504’s input filtering capacitor needed to be on the same order of magnitude as the charging capacitors of the Two-Stage Dickson Multiplier, otherwise, if the filtering capacitor was comparatively too large, it would short the output of the Two-Stage Dickson Multiplier. With that said, the lowest power input observed was at 7.83 dBm, but with lower input powers expected to be achievable. Nevertheless, since the second design attempt showed power losses were too significant, it was deemed that at present, unless the power transfer design were improved, then contemporary commercial off the shelf energy harvesting approaches are insufficient.
