The Scottish Record Office collection of the Forfeited Estates Papers, 1745, is voluminous, including the documents of the Barons of the Exchequer in Scotland concerning all those estates forfeited in 1747 as well as those relating to forfeited estates that were annexed to the Crown in 1752 and managed by the Board of Commissioners for the Forfeited Estates. This thesis is primarily a study of the work of the Board. [Not from the Abstract - taken from the Preface].

AIM: The aim of this investigation is to determine the prevalence of maxillary altered passive eruption in a dental school population. METHODS: 100 subjects were examined clinically and had models fabricated of their maxilla. Demographic, periodontal, cast measurements were recorded for each subject. Demographic variables recorded included age, gender, and ethnicity, history of orthodontic treatment, presence of incisal /occlusal wear, appearance of gingival excess, and presence of gingival asymmetry. Measurements made on cast included clinical crown length, clinical crown width, papillary height, and distance from the lateral gingival zenith to the gingival aesthetic line. Clinical crown width-to-length ratio was calculated. These measurements were compared to previously published standards. RESULTS: 83% of the subjects had central incisors with a clinical W:L ratio greater than .80. Logistical regression analysis determined that subjects with central incisors with an appearance of gingival excess were more likely to have a clinical W:L ratio greater than .80 (P<.0007; OR=79). ANOVA demonstrated that clinical crown length had a statistically significant relationship with gender (P<.0001), tooth type (P<.0001) and biotype (P<0.0026). Clinical crown width and clinical crown W:L ratio had a statistically significant relationship with gender (P<0.0007, P<.0001) and tooth type (P<0.0026, P<.0001). The average clinical crown length was 0.5-1.5 mm shorter than established ideal measurements. CONCLUSION: 83% of the subject population had central incisors that displayed altered passive eruption. Subjects who exceeded the clinical W:L ratio of .80 were more likely to have been classified as having the appearance of gingival excess or “gummy smile”. Esthetic crown lengthening should be considered to achieve desired esthetics in these subjects.

O estudo comparativo da distribuição de tensões de von Mises em dente endodonticamente tratado, com dois formatos de retentores intra-radiculares, pré-fabricado cilíndrico/escalonado e fundido cônico, foi realizado pelo método dos elementos finitos em modelos tridimensionais de caninos superiores com geometria axi-simétrica e restaurados com coroas metalocerâmicas, aplicando-se uma carga oblíqua de 100N com 45 º de inclinação em relação ao seu longo eixo. Os resultados indicaram uma discreta diferença nos dois modelos (formatos) de retentores. O pino escalonado neutralizou mais as cargas no sentido corono-apical e no pino cônico ficou evidenciado o efeito de cunha. / The aim of this study was to compare the von Mises stress distribution on a human canine teeth endodontically treated and restored with two types of post and core. The analysis was made using the three dimensional Finite Element Analysis method. For the analysis was created and axy-simetric structure of the teeth, including a porcelain fused to metal crown, a cement layer, and the periodontal structures. The model was analyzed when a 100N load was applied on the surface of the crown with 45º angulation with the long axis of the teeth. The results showed that both models exhibit little difference, the “stair shape" post system neutralized the axial loads, and the conical shape post showed a wedge effect on the apical third of the root.

A invasão por gramíneas africanas é uma das principais ameaças à diversidade biológica e funcional das formações savânicas do cerrado. Uma questão central em invasões por plantas é entender como espécies oriundas de sistemas com diferentes pressões seletivas são capazes de adquirir e utilizar recursos em um novo ambiente. O objetivo deste estudo foi de comparar os padrões de uso luz e água de gramíneas nativas e invasoras em duas condições de cobertura arbórea ao longo de um gradiente de invasão em uma área de cerrado localizada no Parque Estadual do Juquery - SP. O efeito da presença da cobertura sobre os indivíduos foi investigado através de amostragens em fisionomia de campo (dossel ausente) e de campo cerrado (dossel presente). A hipótese de que o desempenho no uso de recursos de invasoras supera o de nativas em presença de cobertura arbórea foi testada através da medição de aspectos ligados à capacidade de interceptação da luz e ao desempenho de uso da luz e água associado ao potencial de ganho de carbono. As gramíneas africanas apresentaram padrões de arranjo espacial das folhas e estrutura foliar que diferem dos de nativas. As copas das invasoras apresentaram maior grau de sobreposição entre as folhas. As folhas das invasoras exibiram menores inclinações, menor espessura e menor razão de massa seca por área. A presença do dossel arbóreo favoreceu o transporte fotoquímico de elétrons de invasoras e desfavoreceu o de nativas. As principais diferenças nas dinâmicas de trocas gasosas entre nativas e invasoras foram observadas quando as razões foram expressas por massa seca foliar. Diferenças nas relações entre as variáveis indicam que a relação do padrão de investimento em tecidos foliares com o potencial fotossintético pode implicar em respostas contrastantes de nativas e invasoras aos regimes de irradiância nas fisionomias de campo sujo e campo cerrado / Invasions by African grasses constitutes one of the greatest threats to the biological and functional diversity of the cerrado savannas. A central question to understand plant invasions is how species originating from systems with distinct selective pressures are able to acquire and utilize resources in their new environments. The objective of this study was to compare native and invasive grasses with respect to their light and water use patterns in two sites with differing canopy tree cover along an invasion gradient in a cerrado area in the Juquery State Park, SP. The effect of the canopy tree cover on the grass individuals was investigated through sampling in the cerrado physiognomies of \'campo sujo\' (tree cover absent) and \'campo cerrado\' (tree cover present). The hypothesis that invaders outperform natives under the presence of canopy tree cover in terms of resource-use was tested through field measurements of traits related to light interception capacity and to the performance in light and water use associated with carbon gain potentials. Invasive African grasses showed distinct patterns of crown architecture and leaf structure when compared to natives. Invaders showed a greater degree of leaf overlapping in the crown. Invaders leaves were thinner, relatively more planophile, and showed smaller leaf dry mass per area ratios. The presence of canopy tree cover favored the invaders photochemical electron transport while disfavored natives. The main differences concerning native and invaders gas-exchange dynamics were observed on a leaf dry mass basis. The relation between patterns of leaf tissue investment and photosynthetic potentials could imply in contrasting responses of native and invasive grasses to the irradiance regime in differing cerrado vegetation types

Este estudo in vitro teve como objetivo determinar a infiltração marginal e resistência à remoção por tração de coroas totalmente metálicas, cimentadas com cimento de fosfato de zinco e que foram submetidas à abertura oclusal para tratamento endodôntico. Foram usados 20 dentes molares (Banco Permanente de Dentes Humanos da FOUSP). Os dentes foram fixados sobre uma base acrílica de secção circular e foram torneados configurando preparos para coroas totais com dimensões de altura e diâmetro padronizadas. Coroas metálicas em Ni Cr foram fundidas através da técnica de enceramento direto e cimentadas com cimento de fosfato de zinco com carga axial de 5 Kg por 10 minutos. Os corpos de prova foram divididos em: Grupos Controle GC1 e GC2, que utilizaram os mesmos corpos de prova, e Grupo Experimental (GE). Todos os corpos de prova foram mantidos em água destilada para que não se desidratassem. Os espécimes dos grupos GC1 e GC2 foram mantidos sem nenhuma intervenção e os do grupo GE foram perfurados com broca de carbide de tungstênio, simulando uma cirurgia de acesso endodôntico. As amostras dos grupos GC2 e GE foram submetidas à ciclagem térmica de 700 ciclos entre 5º e 55º C. Em seguida foram mantidos em uma solução de azul de metileno 0,5%, ph 7,2 por 4 horas a 37º C. Foram submetidos ao ensaio mecânico de tração das coroas em uma máquina universal de ensaios Kratos SV 100, regulada para trabalhar a uma velocidade de ensaio de 0,5 mm/minuto. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos à análise estatística pelos testes t de Student e as infiltrações avaliadas pela correlação linear de Spearman. A análise inferencial dos resultados dos testes de tração demonstrou com um nível de significância p=0,108, entre os grupos GC1 e GC2, e p=0,502, entre os grupos GC2 e GE, não haver diferença estatisticamente significante. As médias dos valores obtidos nos testes de tração e os seus respectivos desvios padrão foram: GC1 13,96+/-4, 48, GC2 11,26+/-2,269 e GE 10,09+/-4,86 (valores em Kgf). A análise visual subjetiva da infiltração nos corpos de prova indicou que o grupo GE apresentou o maior grau de infiltração marginal com presença do corante atingindo o terço oclusal das paredes axiais (mediana dos scores 3). O grupo GC2 apresentou infiltração marginal no terço médio (mediana dos scores 2). O grupo GC1 apresentou infiltração marginal no terço cervical e médio (mediana dos scores 1). / This in vitro study had the objective to determine the marginal microleakage and the retentive strength of totally metallic crowns, cemented with zinc phosphate cement and subjected to occlusal access for endodontic treatment. 20 human molars (Banco Permanente de Dentes Humanos da FOUSP) have been used for the experiment. The teeth were fixed on a circular acrylic section base and were prepared with standardized dimensions. Metallic crowns in Ni Cr were cast with the direct waxing technique and cemented with zinc phosphate cement with vertical load of 5 kg for 10 minutes. The specimens were divided in groups: Group Control 1 (GP1), Group Control 2 (GP2) and Group Experimental (GE). All the specimens were kept on distillated water so that they wouldn’t dehydrate. The specimens of the groups GC1 and GC2 were kept without any intervention and the ones of the group GE were drilled with a tungstein carbide bur, simulating an endodontic access surgery. Next, the samples of groups GC2 and GE were subjected to a thermal cycling of 700 cycles between 5º and 55º C. To verify the existence of micro infiltration, it was used the methylene blue dye test, 0,5%, ph 7,2 for 4 hours at 37ºC. The specimens were subjected to the load of tension in a universal tensile testing machine Kratos SV 100 at speed 0,5 mm/min. Statistical analyses with t tests showed no significant difference between crown retention before and after endodontic access preparation (p=0,108). The mean displacement forces were: GC1 13,96+/-4,48, GC2 11,26+/-2,269 e GE 10,09+/-4,86 (value in Kgf). With the Spearman’s evaluation test the microleakage was measured. The results showed a greater median of score in GE (score 3). The GC2 and GC1 showed median scores 2 and 1 in order.

Spargelanlagen werden fast ausschließlich durch Pflanzung einjähriger Kronen im Frühjahr etabliert. Die spätere Ertragsleistung wird neben verschiedenen Maßnahmen in der Kulturführung auch maßgeblich vom Wachstum der Pflanzen im ersten Standjahr beeinflusst. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde der Einfluss unterschiedlicher Merkmale und Maßnahmen bei Spargeljungpflanzen anhand von Feld- und Gefäßversuchen auf das Wachstum im ersten Standjahr untersucht. Als wichtigstes Kriterium zur Beurteilung der Qualität von Spargeljungpflanzen hat sich eine hohe Pflanzmasse im Frühjahr herausgestellt. Jeweils im Vergleich zu 100-g-Pflanzen im Frühjahr war bei 50g der Verlust an Zuwachs jedoch größer, als der Zugewinn bei 150g. Aus diesem Grund ist nicht nur die durchschnittliche Pflanzmasse für eine gute Etablierung von Interesse, sondern auch der Anteil kleinerer Pflanzen. Ein Verlust an Wurzelmasse brachte bis auf die Auswirkungen der geringeren Pflanzmasse keine zusätzlichen Effekte auf die Etablierung. Auch der Gehalt löslicher Reservekohlenhydrate im Frühjahr erwies sich von eher untergeordneter Rolle. Bezüglich unterschiedlicher Behandlungen vor der Pflanzung konnten keine ausgeprägten Effekte der Temperatur bei einer kurzfristigen Lagerung und eines unterschiedlichen Pflanztermins bzw. der Lagerdauer nachgewiesen werden. Zwar zeigte sich bei einer Lagerung von über zwei Monaten eine Reduktion der Laub- und Kronenmasse im Herbst, jedoch ist die Ursache hierfür eher in der Verkürzung der Vegetationszeit zu suchen. Als ein wichtiges Qualitätsmerkmal sind in Fungizidlösungen getauchte Pflanzen (Beizung) zu nennen. Zwar ergaben sich je nach Pflanzbedingungen nicht in jedem Fall fördernde Effekte, in der Summe der Versuchsauswertungen über mehrere Jahre und Mittel war aber eine deutliche Steigerung des Wachstums durch Tauchbehandlungen nachzuweisen. Da auch die alleinige Tauchung der Jungpflanzen in Wasser zu einer Vitalitätssteigerung führte, sollte die Beizung möglichst direkt vor der Pflanzung durchgeführt werden. Als Fazit der vorliegenden Untersuchungen ist bezüglich der Jungpflanzenqualität bei Spargel vornehmlich auf gleichmäßig hohe Pflanzmassen sowie einer kurz vor der Pflanzung erfolgten Beizung Wert zu legen. / Asparagus plantings are usually established by planting one year old crowns in the spring. The later yield potential is influenced by culture practical measurements and the growth of the plants in the first year. This work deals with the influence of different characters and measurements of young asparagus plants on the growth in the first year by trials in the field and pots. The most important criterion of the evaluation of the quality of asparagus plants had been the weight of the plants in spring. Comparing with 100-g-plants in the spring the lack of growing of plants with 50g was higher than the better growing with 150g. So it is not only interesting to have a high average plant weight for a good establishment of an asparagus planting but although the part of smaller plants. A lack of root weight showed not more effects than only the lack of plant weight. Although the content of soluble concentration of carbohydrates in the spring showed no to be important. Due to different treatments before planting there were no strange effects of the temperature during a short storage and a different time of planting or period of storage. There was a reduction of fern- and crown weight in autumn after storage before planting over a period of two months, but the reason seems to be the reduction of the vegetation period. An important criterion of quality is a preplant fungicide dip for asparagus crowns. Although because of different conditions after planting there was not every time a better establishment of the plants, but in consideration of all trials in different years and fungicides there was a significant increase of the growth because of dipping treatments. Because the dipping of the crowns only in water before planting showed effects of a better vitality the fungicide dips should be done directly before planting. The result of this work concerning the quality of asparagus crowns is a constant high crown weight and a fungicide dip just before planting.

Avaliar as alterações profilométricas dos tecidos moles vestibulares entre o exame inicial e os 5 anos de acompanhamento, utilizando sistemas de implantes dentários de um e dois estágios. Sessenta pacientes receberam aleatoriamente implantes dentários de dois estágios (BRA) ou de estágio único (STM). Os modelos foram obtidos no início do estudo (após a inserção da coroa), no primeiro ano e no quinto ano de acompanhamento. Os arquivos de estereolitografia foram obtidos dos modelos para superposição digital. Um implante e o dente natural contralateral foram selecionados para a análise. Trinta e três pacientes (BRA = 16; STM = 17) foram incluídos. As medidas incluíram mudanças para altura da coroa (CH) e espessura estimada do tecido mole, bem como a mudança profilométrica no implante e no local do dente. Métodos não paramétricos foram aplicados para as análises estatísticas, medianas e quartis foram apresentados. O grupo BRA perdeu -0,39 mm e o grupo STM perdeu -0,40 mm de volume entre o início e o acompanhamento de 5 anos no local do implante (p> 0,05). O local do dente perdeu -0,18 mm (BRA) e -0,12 mm (STM) (p> 0,05). As diferenças de volume entre implantes e dentes foram de -0,05 mm (inicial a 1 ano) e -0,25 mm (inicial a 5 anos) para BRA, enquanto para STM, os valores foram de 0,03 mm (inicial a 1 ano) e -0,16 mm (inicial a 5 anos). As mudanças para CH em 1 e 5 anos de acompanhamento foram de 0,10 e 0,09 mm (BRA) e 0,03 e 0,22 mm para STM. As mudanças na espessura do tecido em 1 e 5 anos no grupo BRA foram de -0,28 e -0,66 mm a 1 mm, -0,21 e -0,46 mm a 3 mm e -0,32 e -0,45 mm a 5 mm, respectivamente. As mudanças no grupo STM foram de -0,15 e -0,54 mm a 1 mm, -0,24 e -0,48 mm a 3 mm e -0,32 e -0,57 mm a 5 mm, respectivamente. Nenhuma mediana significativamente diferente foi observada. Alterações mínimas, lineares e profilométricas, ocorreram nos locais dos implantes entre o exame inicial e os 5 anos, entre os locais do implante e do dente e entre os dois sistemas de implantes. / To assess the profilometric changes of the buccal soft tissues between baseline and 5 years of loading using a one- and two-piece dental implant system. Sixty patients randomly received dental implants of either a two-piece type (BRA) or a one-piece type (STM). Casts were obtained at baseline (after crown insertion), at the 1-year and at the 5-year followup. Stereolithography files were obtained from the casts for digital superimposition. One implant and the contralateral natural tooth were selected for the analysis. Thirty-three patients (BRA = 16; STM = 17) were included. Measurements included changes for crown height (CH) and estimated soft tissue thickness, as well as the profilometric change at the implant and the tooth site. Nonparametric methods were applied for the statistical analyses and medians and quartiles presented. The BRA group lost -0.39 mm and the STM group lost -0.40 mm of volume between baseline and the 5-year follow-up at the implant site (p > 0.05). The tooth site lost -0.18 mm (BRA) and -0.12 mm (STM) (p > 0.05). Volume differences between implants and teeth amounted to -0.05 mm (baseline to 1 year) and -0.25 mm (baseline to 5 years) for BRA, while for STM, the values were 0.03 mm (baseline to 1 year) and -0.16 mm (baseline to 5 years). The changes for implant CH at 1 and 5 years of follow-up amounted 0.10 and 0.09 mm (BRA) and to 0.03 and 0.22 mm (STM). The changes in tissue thickness at 1 and 5 years in the BRA group amounted to -0.28 and -0.66 mm at 1 mm, -0.21 and -0.46 mm at 3 mm, and -0.32 and -0.45 mm at 5 mm, respectively. The changes in the STM group amounted to -0.15 and -0.54 mm at 1 mm, -0.24 and -0.48 mm at 3 mm, and -0.32 and -0.57 mm at 5 mm, respectively. No significantly different medians were observed. Minimal profilometric and linear changes occurred at implant sites between baseline and 5 years, between implant and tooth sites and between the two implant systems.

"The present work is a study of the low inertia spreading dynamics of initially spherical viscous droplets on a planar interface. The droplets are affected by gravity, surface tension and viscous forces and are modeled as two-dimensional axisymmetric bodies. The main focus of this study is the examination of the dependence of droplet stability, equilibrium shape and fluid motion within the drop on the relative magnitude of these forces. The dynamics are modeled using the unsteady, non-linear Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible fluid. The spreading of a droplet on a solid surface is modeled with both a no-slip and a partial-slip boundary condition. In addition, the spreading of a droplet on another identical drop (two-drop problem) is modeled to study the problem without the contact point singularity. The governing equations are solved numerically using the Mixed Galerkin Finite Element formulation, augmented by the use of the Newton-Raphson iteration scheme to effectively treat the non-linearities of the problem. The Generalized Eulerian Lagrangian formulation is adopted for the treatment of the moving free surface of the droplet. Computations are performed for capillary numbers ranging from 0.01 to 100 and for Reynolds numbers from 0.005 to 50, where the velocity scale is based on the droplet radius and the gravitational acceleration. For the droplet spreading on a solid surface, three distinct behaviors are observed~: for low Reynolds numbers and sufficiently high capillary numbers, droplets deform to a stable, equilibrium shape; for higher Reynolds numbers, an oscillatory droplet behavior occurs; at still higher Reynolds numbers, the droplets shatter. Very often, a recirculation is induced near the contact point just before the droplet shatters, which is also observed for the case of stable oscillating droplets. When a partial-slip boundary condition is applied, it is observed that the stability of the droplet and the rate at which the droplet attains the static contact angle depend strongly on the velocity of slip of the droplet with respect to the solid surface at the contact point. For the two-drop problem, only two distinct behaviors are observed: for low Reynolds numbers and high capillary numbers, the droplet retains a near-spherical shape and remains stable; while for higher Reynolds numbers, the droplet deforms to a high extent and becomes unstable."

O trabalho se propõe a fazer uma análise da Provedoria da Fazenda do Continente do Rio de Grande de São Pedro a partir de um estudo prosopográfico dos principais funcionários que compunham o órgão fazendário. O recorte temporal se fará da criação da Provedoria da Fazenda, em 1748, até a sua extinção definitiva, em 1802. A partir disso, verificamos como as práticas individuais desses oficiais régios podem revelar aspectos importantes da trama social, contribuindo para entendermos como esses sujeitos foram tecendo suas relações sociais, em constantes negociações - com as elites locais e seus subalternos - para viabilizar sua governabilidade. Nessa perspectiva, buscamos evidenciar comportamentos à margem da lei, percebendo o que era, de fato, transgressão às normas e quais práticas políticas consideradas comuns na lógica da sociedade de Antigo Regime. Dessa forma, procuramos perceber como a corrupção permitiu aos sujeitos formar cadeias informais de mando, influência e poder na Colônia Nesse sentido, encontramos na provedoria da Fazenda Real uma instituição permeada por práticas ditas ilegais, que têm sua própria lógica de existência em redes de poder, legitimadas pela monarquia corporativa em uma concepção de ilegalidade tolerada. Por fim, mediante essas biografias coletivas, buscaremos perceber suas experiências em um campo de interesses múltiplos, bem como pensar as transformações em curso no Império Ultramarino Português na segunda metade do século XVIII, com as reformulações das instituições administrativas da Fazenda. / The paper aims to make an analysis of the Provedoria da Fazenda (Crown Purveyor) of the Continent of Rio de Grande de São Pedro from a prosopographical study of different employees who formed this Treasury agency. The time frame will be from the creation of the Crown Purveyor, in 1748, until its final closure, in 1802. From this, we investigate how the individual practices of this royal officials may reveal important aspects of the social fabric, contributing to understand how these subjects were weaving their social relations, in constant negotiations – with local elites and their subalterns – to enable their governance. In this perspective, we seek to show behaviors outside the law, realizing what it was, in fact, transgression of rules and what political practices was considered common in the logic of Old Regime society. In this way, we seek to understand how corruption allowed people to form informal chains of command, influence and power in Cologne. In this sense, in the Crown Purveyor we find an institution permeated by practices considered illegal, which have their own logic of existence in networks of power, legitimized by corporate monarchy in a conception of tolerated illegality. Finally, we will seek to understand the experiences of these individuals in a field of multiple interests, as well as to think the changes taking place in the core of the Portuguese Overseas Empire in the second half of the eighteenth century, with the reformulation of the administrative institutions of Finance.
