Among the several processes for dye-uptaking from these wastewaters, sorption is one of the most effective methods, chitosan being a very promising alternative for this end. The sorption of Methyl Orange by chitosan crosslinked particles was approached using equilibrium and kinetic analyses at different pH s. Besides the standard pseudo-order analysis normally effectuated (i.e. pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order), a novel approach involving a pseudo-nth-order kinetics was used, nbeing determined via non-linear regression, using the Levenberg-Marquardt method. Zeta potential measurements indicated that electrostatic interactions were important for the sorption process. Regarding equilibrium experiments, data were well fitted to a hybrid Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm, and estimated Gibbs free energy of adsorption as a function of mass of dye per area of chitosan showed that the process of adsorption becomes more homogeneous as the pH of the continuous phase decreased. Considering the kinetics of sorption, although a pseudo-nth-order description yielded good fits, a kinetic equation involving diffusion adsorption phenomena was found to be more consistent in terms of a physicochemical description of the sorption process / A atividade t?xtil resulta em efluentes com uma variedade de corantes. Dentre os v?rios processos para a remo??o de corantes destes efluentes, o de sor??o constitui um dos m?todos mais efetivos, sendo a quitosana um sorvente alternativo bastante promissor para este fim. A sor??o do corante alaranjado de metila em part?culas de quitosana reticulada foi avaliada atrav?s de estudos de equil?brio e cin?tica de sor??o em diferentes pHs. Al?m da an?lise com o modelo de pseudo-ordem normalmente adotado na literatura (por exemplo, pseudo-primeira-ordem e pseudo-segunda-ordem), um novo modelo envolvendo uma cin?tica de pseudo-n-ordem foi usada, sendo ndeterminado via regress?o n?o-linear, usando o m?todo de Levenberg-Marquardt. Medidas de potencial zeta indicaram intera??es eletrost?ticas importantes no processo de sor??o. Com rela??o aos estudos de equil?brio, os dados foram bem representados pela isoterma h?brida Langmuir-Freundlich, e a energia livre de Gibbs de sor??o como uma fun??o da massa de corante por ?rea de part?cula mostrou que este processo torna-se mais homog?neo ? medida que o pH da fase cont?nua diminui. Considerando a cin?tica de sor??o, apesar do modelo de pseudo-n-ordem descrever bem os dados experimentais, a equa??o cin?tica envolvendo difus?o-adsor??o foi mais consistente em termos de descri??o f?sico-qu?mica do processo de sor??o

But the increase in life expectancy has a negative effect: the appearance of degenerative diseases typical of old age, including several forms of dementia, like Alzheimer?s Disease (AD) that is certainly the most important. It is an irreversible and progressive disease characterized by neuronal deterioration that results in loss of cognitive functions such as memory, communication skills, judgment and reasoning. Donepezil, rivastigmine and galantamine are medicines used for the treatment of AD and act reversibly inhibiting the acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Evidences suggest that the enzyme butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), closely related to AChE, plays a significant role in AD because it is involved in neural functions such as cholinergic co-regulation and non-cholinergic neurotransmission. The aim of this research is to provide new substances with anticholinesterase action by using ?-carboline derivatives from the natural product harmane and carry out a kinetic study to determine the inhibition profile of the enzymes AChE e BChE, which could help in the discovery of new compounds which could be useful in the treatment of AD. Firstly, a screening was carried out with seven ?-carboline derivatives. In a second stage, a kinetic investigation, employing Ellman?s method, was run with these compounds and all of them presented high anticholinesterase action for both AChE and BChE. All seven derivatives presented a non-competitive reversible inhibition. / Torres, Juliana Mariano.

O aumento da expectativa de vida ? um fen?meno mundial que mostra o relativo sucesso de pol?ticas de sa?de p?blica, e o Brasil se inclui entre os pa?ses em que as pessoas est?o vivendo por mais tempo e em condi??es melhores de sa?de. No entanto, o aumento da expectativa de vida tem como efeito negativo o aparecimento de doen?as degenerativas, t?picas de idades mais avan?adas, incluindo-se as v?rias formas de dem?ncia e entre estas, a mais importante ?, sem d?vida, a Doen?a de Alzheimer (DA), patologia irrevers?vel e progressiva caracterizada pela deteriora??o neuronal que resulta em perda de fun??es cognitivas, tais como mem?ria, capacidade de comunica??o, julgamento e racioc?nio. Para o tratamento da DA s?o utilizados f?rmacos como o donepezil, galantamina e rivastigmina, os quais agem inibindo revers?velmente a acetilcolinesterase (AChE). Evid?ncias sugerem que a enzima butirilcolinesterase (BChE), intimamente relacionada com a AChE, tem um papel significante na DA, uma vez que est? envolvida em fun??es neurais tais como a corregula??o da neurotransmiss?o colin?rgica e n?o-colin?rgica. Esta pesquisa pretendeu estudar novas subst?ncias com a??o anticolinester?sica utilizando derivados -carbol?nicos do produto natural harmana, bem como fazer um estudo cin?tico a fim de descobrir qual o perfil de inibi??o das enzimas AChE e BChE, a fim de buscar novos compostos que poderiam ser ?teis no tratamento dos sintomas da DA. Desta forma, foi efetuada preliminarmente uma triagem com 7 derivados -carbol?nicos e posteriormente foi realizada uma investiga??o cin?tica com estes compostos, uma vez que, todos apresentaram alta a??o anticolinester?sica tanto para AChE quanto para BChE. A cin?tica enzim?tica foi estudada segundo o m?todo de Ellman. Contudo, observou-se que todos os 7 derivados apresentaram uma inibi??o revers?vel n?o competitiva.

DNA samples of these varieties were amplified using 20 primers, only 15 (75%) of which produced amplified fragments, compresing 90 of these were polimorphic fragments. The analysis of the band, profile produced a ?fingerprint?. For the calculation of the similarity index several coefficients were tested: Nei & Li, Jaccard, Ochiai, Russel & Rao, Simple Matching and Rogers & Tanimoto. Comparison among them was carried out through the evaluation of the dendrograms generated by the UPGMA algorithm and by the correlations between the genetic pitches. The coefficients of Nei & Li, Jaccard, and Ochiai discriminated the varieties in three main groups according to their genetic similarities. Our results show that the coefficients of Nei & Li, Jaccard and Ochiai adjusted better the groups with hight genetic similarities. While the coefficients Simple Matching and Rogers & Tanimoto were not as efficient, banding together varieties that are genetically different. In experiments, with the objective to studies the effect of levels (20 or 60 mg N/L) e forms of N (NH4 + and NO3 -) under the kinetics parameters, proton extrusion, the activity of the N-assimilation enzymes and the N-partition in the plant, were conducted in greenhouse, using 5 upland rice varieties (Lageado, IAC 47, Dobradinho, Agulha e Bico Ganga), in nutrient solution. It was observed an ample variation of the kinetics parameters and biochemists, and a distinguishing behavior among varieties in the uptake and use of N. The varieties Agulha and IAC-47 had presented the best combination of KM, Vm?x, GS/GOGAT in conditions of hight avaibility of N- NO3 -, and Bico Ganga, in conditions of low avaibility of N- NO3 - in nutrient solution. In another experiment, with the objective to study the assimilation and remobiliza??o of N in season nitrate conditions, used varieties Sagrim?o, Goiano, Zebu, Agulha, IAC 1278, IR08, Comum Branco, IAC 47 e Ligeiro had been cultivated in nutritional solution. The N-assimilation enzymes were estudied in the leaf blades and root of 62 and 69 days old rice plants, under 20 and 200 mg mgN-NO3 -/L. Under higher nitrate supply had increase the activity of the NR, GS and GOGAT in rice plants. The GS activities had been low in roots, in comparison with the activities observed in leaf. The GOGAT activity was bigger in roots, in both the treatments. The GDH-A activity occurred mainly in tessues foliar. The GDH-D activity occurred in leaf as in roots. The GDH-D activity not occurred in tissues foliar. The activity of the enzymes of N-assimilation was higher in tissues foliar. These results seem indicate the leaves as the main site of NH4 +-N assimilation in rice plants under higher NO3 --supply. / Neste trabalho avaliaram-se as altera??es provocadas por 6 diferentes coeficientes de similaridade no agrupamento de 16 variedades de arroz analisadas pela t?cnica de RAPD.

A an?lise dos resultados se constituiu na descri??o do padr?o de bandas. Para o c?lculo do coeficiente de similaridade foram testados os coeficientes Nei & Li, Jaccard, Ochiai, Russel & Rao, Simple Matching e Rogers & Tanimoto, sendo as compara??es entre eles realizadas pela avalia??o dos dendrogramas gerados pelo algoritmo UPGMA e pelas correla??es entre as dist?ncias gen?ticas. Os resultados obtidos indicam que os melhores coeficientes para determina??o da similaridade foram os de Nei & Li, de Jaccard e de Ochiai que foram capazes de agrupar as variedades com alta similaridade, enquanto os coeficientes Simple Matching e de Rogers & Tanimoto foram ligeiramente inferiores colocando variedades distantes no mesmo grupo.

Houve um comportamento diferencial entre as variedades quanta ? capacidade de absor??o e uso de N. As variedades Agulha e IAC 47 apresentaram a melhor combina??o de KM, Vm?x, GS/GOGAT em condi??es de alta disponibilidade de N-NO3 -, e a variedade Bico Ganga, sob condi??es de baixa disponibilidade de N. Noutro experimento, objetivando estudar a assimila??o e remobiliza??o de N em condi??es sazonais de N, utilizou-se as variedades Sagrim?o, Goiano, Zebu, Agulha, IAC 1278, IR 08, Comum Branco, IAC 25 e Ligeiro, com 62 e 69 dias de idade, cultivadas em solu??o nutritiva, com 20 e 200 mg N-NO3 -/L. O aumento no suprimento de N aumentou a atividade da NR, da GS e GOGAT. A atividade de NR ocorreu em ra?zes e na parte a?rea. A atividade da GS foi baixa em ra?zes. A atividade da GOGAT foi maior nas ra?zes, em ambos os tratamentos. A atividade de GDH-A ocorreu principalmente em tecidos foliares. A atividade de GDHD ocorreu tanto em folhas como em ra?zes. A atividade das enzimas de assimila??o de N foi superior nas folhas, indicando serem estas os principais s?tios de incorpora??o de am?nio em amino?cidos, quando plantas de arroz s?o submetidas a altos n?veis de NO3 -.

A thermostatic bath was built to allow the experimental evaluation of osmotic dehydration kinetics and equilibrium moisture content determination. The experiments were carried out at three different temperatures (30 ?C, 40 ?C and 50 ?C) in order to evaluate the influence of temperature and sucrose concentration. Chayote fruits were washed and submerged in sodium hypochloride solution for ten minutes, for sanitization. Afterwards, the fruits were dried and cut into slices of about 0.5 cm thickness. Then, the slices were put into hypertonic sucrose solutions during preestablished time intervals. After osmotic dehydration, the solution was discarded and the slices were softly dried with absorbent paper to remove surface moisture. The moisture content was determined gravimetrically. Long time experiments up to 96 h were performed to provide information about the equilibrium moisture content. An specific equilibrium isotherm was selected by statistical methods. The correlation that better described equilibrium moisture content behavior was the Smith sorption isotherm, adapted to osmotic environment. The Overhults model was used to describe osmotic dehydration kinetics and estimate the drying constants k and n. Based on the results obtained in this research, it could be demonstrated that the equilibrium moisture content is strongly influenced by sucrose concentration and that k is a parameter dependent on the temperature and sucrose concentration, whereas n may be considered constant for the given experimental setup. / Neste trabalho foi feito um estudo da desidrata??o osm?tica de fatias de chuchu em um sistema que possibilitou a determina??o da umidade de equil?brio e dos coeficientes do modelo de Overhults para descrever a cin?tica de desidrata??o osm?tica das fatias.

Seeds with initial moisture content of 8-10%, dry basis, were used. The sorption isotherms were found using two experimental devices: a water activity meter and a thermal bath with temperatures adjusted at 30, 40 and 50 ?C for the first apparatus and 40, 50 and 60 ?C for the second one. To obtain the sorption isotherms with a thermal bath the method of saturated saline solutions of MgCl2, K2CO3, KI, NaCl, and NaBrO3 was applied and the time to reach equilibrium was, generally, 20 days. Nine kinetic experiments were performed setting temperatures at 30, 40 and 50 ?C, and the superficial gas velocity at 397, 794 and 1190 cm/min, with duration of three hundred and sixty minutes. Oswin's mathematical model was the best to describe the hygroscopic behavior of the isotherms found with the water activity meter, while Caurie's model was the best for the thermal bath data, because they showed the lowest deviations and the highest coefficients of determination. ANOVA indicated that only the water activity has significant influence over the equilibrium moisture on the sorption isotherm experiments, in both equipments. Nine mathematical models were tested to simulate the kinetics and the ?two exponential terms? model presented the lowest deviations and highest coefficients of determination. It was observed that the temperature and superficial gas velocity did not significantly influence the kinetic experiments. For calculation of the thermodynamic properties the models that best fitted the data of the two experiments to obtain the sorption isotherms were used. The positive values of the differential enthalpy and entropy for both studies showed that the sorption process of jatropha seeds is endothermic and irreversible. The negative values of the Gibbs free energy variation for both studies indicated that the sorption process occurs spontaneously for the temperature conditions evaluated. The enthalpy-entropy compensation theory was applied satisfactorily and Krug?s test showed that the isokinetic temperature was different from the harmonic mean temperature in both studies. / O objetivo deste trabalho foi obter as isotermas de sor??o, analisar a cin?tica de secagem da semente do pinh?o-manso, realizar a modelagem matem?tica dos experimentos da isoterma de equil?brio e de cin?tica, e o estudo termodin?mico do processo. Utilizaram-se sementes com teor de umidade inicial de 8 a 10 %, em base seca. Os experimentos de determina??o da isoterma de equil?brio foram realizados utilizando dois equipamentos: o medidor de atividade de ?gua e o banho t?rmico, com faixas de temperatura de 30, 40 e 50 ?C, para o primeiro, e de 40, 50 e 60 ?C, para o segundo. As isotermas obtidas pelo banho t?rmico foram obtidas atrav?s do m?todo das solu??es salinas saturadas de MgCl2, K2CO3, KI, NaCl e NaBrO3 e o tempo para atingir o equil?brio foi, em geral, de 20 dias. Foram realizados nove experimentos de cin?tica, nas temperaturas de 30, 40 e 50 ?C, com velocidade superficial do g?s de 397, 794 e 1190 cm/min, com dura??o de trezentos e sessenta minutos. O melhor modelo matem?tico selecionado para descrever o comportamento higrosc?pico das isotermas foi o Oswin, para o medidor de atividade de ?gua, e o de Caurie, para o banho t?rmico, pois apresentaram os menores desvios e os maiores coeficientes de determina??o. Atrav?s da ANOVA verificou-se que somente a atividade de ?gua apresentou influencia significativa sobre a umidade de equil?brio para os experimentos de isoterma, em ambos os equipamentos. Nove modelos matem?ticos foram testados para a simula??o da cin?tica sendo que o modelo de ?Dois termos exponenciais? apresentou os menores desvios e os maiores coeficientes de determina??o. Observou-se que a temperatura e a velocidade superficial do g?s n?o influenciaram significativamente os experimentos de cin?tica. Para os c?lculos das propriedades termodin?micas foram utilizados os modelos que melhor ajustaram os dados dos dois experimentos para obten??o das isotermas de sor??o. Os valores positivos de entalpia e entropia diferencial, para ambos os estudos, mostraram que o processo de sor??o de ?gua nos gr?os de pinh?o-manso ? endot?rmico e irrevers?vel. Os valores negativos da varia??o da energia livre de Gibbs, para os dois estudos, indicaram que o processo de sor??o ocorre de forma espont?nea para as condi??es de temperatura avaliadas. A teoria compensat?ria entalpia-entropia foi aplicada de forma satisfat?ria, e o teste de Krug mostrou que a temperatura isocin?tica foi diferente da temperatura m?dia harm?nica nos dois estudos realizados.

This method consists of partial combustion of in situ oil, its goal is to generate a combustion front that helps to move the oil. This combustion front will heat the surrounding areas, achieving a reduction in oil viscosity and allowing its displacement into the production well. It may seem a simple process, however in situ combustion involves a series of complex mechanisms that difficult until today its representation through analytical models, physical models and numerical simulation. The aim of this investigation is to analyze and determine the parameters that influence the process, highlighting the kinetics of the process (activation energy, Arrhenius coefficient and percentage of cracking for the production of coke) three different models of chemical reactions and the air injection rate. To verify the applicability of the process in Brazil a simulation study was conducted in heavy oil reservoirs with characteristics of the Brazilian Northeast. The simulations were performed using the "STARS" module from the "Computer Modelling Group", which objective is to study methods of enhanced oil recovery. Among all the analyzed parameters, the activation energy-pre-exponential factor showed the greatest influence, that is, the lower the value of the activation energy-preexponential factor the higher the fraction of oil recovery. The cracking percentage also showed a strong influence in the process, the smaller the amount of coke formed the larger volume of oil recovery.

For this type of dryer, it is recommended to work at temperatures above 200 ?C and air velocity with higher dynamic pressure. However, even under operating conditions below what it is recommended, the results obtained with the pneumatic dryer were satisfactory. In addition, experiments of drying were performed by using a cabinet dryer (batch dryer) under the same conditions used in the pneumatic dryer. Flash one curves for the corn were fitted satisfactorily by applying of the Lewis model, while a better agreement was found for rice by using the Page model. The data obtained with both drying processes allowed to compare the performance between pneumatic and batch dryers. In respect to drying rate, the pneumatic dryer presented a similar performance to the batch dryer during processing with corn and a superior performance to the last one during processing with rice. Therefore, it was possible to verify that the pneumatic dryer assembled in this preliminar study can be applied for different materials and under different operating conditions / Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal ? concep??o, montagem e opera??o de um secador pneum?tico do tipo flash com o prop?sito de avaliar novas configura??es de secadores, apresentando uma import?ncia regional no contexto da produ??o agr?cola de gr?os. O equipamento operou com temperaturas na ordem de 80?C e velocidade do ar de secagem igual a 35 m/s. Para este tipo de secador recomenda-se temperaturas superiores a 200?C e velocidades com alta press?o din?mica. O equipamento operou com um bom desempenho na secagem do milho e arroz. Para efeito comparativo, tamb?m foi utilizado um secador de bandejas para secagem do milho e do arroz com casca em condi??es operacionais similares as praticadas com secador pneum?tico do tipo flash. Os resultados experimentais demonstraram que na secagem do milho ambos secadores responderam com desempenho an?logo no que ser refere ? taxa de secagem. J? na secagem do arroz com casca, o secador pneum?tico apresentou um desempenho superior ao secador de bandejas. Portanto, a partir dos dados experimentais as curvas para a secagem do milho foram melhor correlacionadas com o modelo de Lewis, enquanto que as curvas de secagem do arroz com casca foram melhor ajustadas com o modelo de Page. Assim, pode-se concluir que a configura??o montada apresenta aspectos promissores que podem ser estudados utilizando-se materiais com diferentes caracter?sticas e em diferentescondi??es operacionais

As a consequence, they constitute important subject for research as well as outstanding materials used in several manufacturing processes. In addition to the search for new polyurethanes, the kinetics control during its preparation is a very important topic, mainly if the polyurethane is obtained via bulk polymerization. The work in thesis was directed towards this subject, particularly the synthesis of polyurethanes based castor oil and isophorone diisocianate. As a first step castor oil characterized using the following analytical methods: iodine index, saponification index, refraction index, humidity content and infrared absorption spectroscopy (FTIR). As a second step, test specimens of these polyurethanes were obtained via bulk polymerization and were submitted to swelling experiments with different solvents. From these experiments, the Hildebrand parameter was determined for this material. Finally, bulk polymerization was carried out in a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) equipment, using different heating rates, at two conditions: without catalyst and with dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) as catalyst. The DSC curves were adjusted to a kinetic model, using the isoconversional method, indicating the autocatalytic effect characteristic of this class of polymerization reaction / Poliuretanas s?o pol?meros de grande versatilidade, podendo ser usadas na forma de p?s, adesivos ou elast?meros. Por este motivo, as poliuretanas s?o amplamente pesquisadas e utilizadas nas ind?strias. Paralelamente ? busca por novas poliuretanas, ? importante o controle cin?tico durante sua obten??o, principalmente se estas s?o obtidas via polimeriza??o em massa. O trabalho desta tese aborda este problema, especificamente no caso da obten??o de poliuretanas derivadas do ?leo de mamona e diisocianato de isoforona. Para isto, primeiramente o ?leo de mamona foi caracterizado atrav?s dos seguintes m?todos anal?ticos: ?ndice de iodo, ?ndice de saponifica??o, ?ndice de refra??o, ?ndice de hidroxila, teor de umidade e espectroscopia de absor??o na regi?o do infravermelho (FTIR). Como segundo passo, os corpos de prova dessas poliuretanas foram obtidos atrav?s de polimeriza??o em massa e submetidos a ensaios de inchamento com diferentes solventes. A partir destes ensaios o par?metro de Hildebrand foi determinado para este material. Finalmente, a polimeriza??o em massa desse material foi executada em equipamento de calorimetria explorat?ria diferencial (DSC) a diferentes taxas de aquecimento sob duas condi??es: sem catalisador e com o catalisador, dibutil-dilaurato de estanho (DBTDL). As curvas de DSC foram ajustadas a modelos cin?ticos, usando o m?todo isoconversional, caracterizando o car?ter autocatal?tico da forma??o de poliuretanas

Using a factorial design 24-1 (half fraction), 10 tests were performed using Pseudomonas aeruginosa AP029/GVII-A in submerged batch cultivation in rotating incubator (shaker). The influence of factors (temperature, agitation, aeration ratio and concentration of cultivation medium) at two different levels for the synthesis of the biosurfactant. Samples were collected throughout the cultivation by 132 hours of fermentation were completed. The best outcome was intended by following production through substrate consumption, dry matter, reduction of surface tension (ring method) and emulsification index. The kinetics of microorganism was assessed for the carbon source used. The results showed that the cassava wastewater is a well assimilable substrate for the production of biotensoactive, reaching 91 % of consumption by the micro-organism under study. The growth temperature was found to be one of the leading factors in the synthesis of the metabolite, followed by aeration and also due to the agitation. The best results showed a 30 % reduction in surface tension (% RTS) for the environment, reaching values of 30 mN/m; 3.0 g /L of biomass and emulsifying index greater than 65 %. The metabolite synthesized still remained stable for different salt concentrations (1, 5 and 10 % w/ v) and alkaline pH (8-10). / O presente trabalho avalia a produ??o de biossurfactantes a partir de manipueira, um res?duo agroindustrial a ser utilizado como fonte de carbono. Empregando um planejamento fatorial 24-1 (fra??o meia), 10 ensaios foram realizados utilizando Pseudomonas aeruginosa AP029-GVIIA em cultivo descont?nuo submerso em incubador rotat?rio (shaker). Foi analisada a influ?ncia dos fatores (temperatura, agita??o, raz?o de aera??o e concentra??o do substrato) em dois diferentes n?veis para a s?ntese do biossurfactante. Amostras foram coletadas em intervalos regulares durante o cultivo at? 132 horas de fermenta??o. Buscou-se o melhor resultado acompanhando a produ??o atrav?s do consumo de substrato, massa seca, redu??o da tens?o superficial (m?todo do anel) e ?ndice de emulsifica??o. O comportamento cin?tico do micro-organismo foi avaliado para a fonte de carbono utilizada. Os resultados mostraram que a manipueira ? bastante assimil?vel e potencial substrato na produ??o do biotensoativo, onde se observou 91% de consumo pelo micro-organismo em estudo. A temperatura de cultivo revelou ser um dos fatores preponderantes na s?ntese do metab?lito, acompanhada pela raz?o de aera??o e agita??o. Os melhores resultados mostraram redu??o de 30% da tens?o superficial (%RTS) em rela??o ao meio inicial, alcan?ando valores de 31 mN/m; 3,0 g/L de biomassa e ?ndice de emulsifica??o superior a 65%. O metab?lito sintetizado ainda se mostrou est?vel para diferentes concentra??es salinas (1, 5 e 10% m/v) e pH alcalino (8-10).
