Neste contexto, destaca-se a aroeira-do-sert?o (Myracrodruon urundeuva), da fam?lia Anacardiaceae, j? estudada quanto ao potencial antimicrobiano, anti-inflamat?rio e cicatrizante. Motivado por novas alternativas terap?uticas, considerando a crescente resist?ncia microbiana, esse estudo avaliou a atividade antimicrobiana de produtos naturais obtidos das folhas da referida planta. Dentre estes est? um ?leo essencial, que foi extra?do por hidrodestila??o, caracterizado por RMN e GC-MS, e avaliado quanto ? citotoxicidade, al?m de extratos org?nicos, que foram analisados quanto ? atividade antimicrobiana: metan?lico liofilizado, obtido por decoc??o; clorof?rmico e acetato de etila, extra?dos ? temperatura ambiente com seus respectivos solventes e filtrados sob press?o reduzida. A atividade antibacteriana foi avaliada pela t?cnica da microdilui??o em caldo, na qual as CIMs foram determinadas utilizando CTT (cloreto de 2,3,5-trifenil-tetrazolium) como revelador do crescimento bacteriano, e as CBMs por meio da an?lise do crescimento do conte?do dos po?os em ?gar BHI. A citotoxicidade do ?leo foi avaliada pelo m?todo do MTT, brometo de 3-(4,5-dimetiltiazol-2-il)-2,5-difenil tetraz?lio. O ?leo, na caracteriza??o qu?mica, dentre os terpenos identificados, apresentou como constituinte majorit?rio o ?-pineno (87,85%). Al?m disso, tal ?leo mostrou atividade antibacteriana frente a todas as cepas testadas, onde para algumas destas ocorreu equival?ncia entre os valores de CIM e CBM, que foram de 0,22 mg/mL para Staphylococcus aureus, 0,44 mg/mL para Salmonella Enteritidis e 7 mg/mL para Pseudomonas aeruginosa. J? para Staphylococcus epidermidis a CIM foi 0,11 mg/mL e a CBM 0,22 mg/mL. Escherichia coli foi inibida com CIM de 0,88 mg/mL e CBM de 1,75 mg/mL. Equival?ncia entre CIM e CBM foi observada para extrato metan?lico frente a S. epidermidis (9,75 mg/mL). Para S. aureus, a CIM deste extrato foi de 9,75 mg/mL e a CBM 78 mg/mL. Foram resistentes a tal extrato: E. coli, S. Enteritidis e P. aeruginosa. Os extratos clorof?rmico e acetato de etila foram bacteriost?ticos frente ?s cinco cepas, por?m, o clorof?rmico inibiu todas estas com CIM de 15 mg/mL, enquanto o acetato de etila apresentou CIMs de 7,56 mg/mL para S. aureus, 1,89 mg/mL para S. epidermidis, 15,12 mg/mL para S.

In this context, stands out the aroeira-do-sert?o (Myracrodruon urundeuva), of the family Anacardiaceae, studied regarding the antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and cicatrizant potential. Motivated by new therapeutic alternatives, considering the growing microbial resistance, this study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of natural products obtained from the leaves of said plant. Among these is an essential oil, which was extracted by hydrodistillation, characterized by NMR and GC-MS, and evaluated for cytotoxicity, in addition, organic extracts, which were analyzed for antimicrobial activity: lyophilized methanolic obtained by decoction; Chloroform and ethyl acetate, extracted at room temperature with their respective solvents and filtered under reduced pressure. The antibacterial activity was evaluated by the microdilution technique in broth, in which the MICs were determined using CTT (2,3,5-triphenyl-tetrazolium chloride) as a bacterial growth promoter, and the CBMs were analyzed by growth analysis of the contents of wells on BHI agar. The cytotoxicity of the oil was evaluated by the MTT method, 3- (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide. The oil had as main constituent the ?-pinene (87.85%) among the terpenes identified in the chemical characterization. In addition, this oil showed antibacterial activity against all strains tested, where for some of these, equivalence between MIC and MBC values, which were 0.22 mg/mL for Staphylococcus aureus, 0.44 mg/mL for Salmonella Enteritidis and 7 mg/mL for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. For Staphylococcus epidermidis the MIC was 0.11 mg/mL and the MBC was 0.22 mg/mL. Escherichia coli was inhibited with MIC of 0.88 mg/mL and MBC of 1.75 mg/mL. Equivalence between MIC and MBC was observed for methanolic extract against S. epidermidis (9.75 mg/mL). For S. aureus, the MIC of this extract was 9.75 mg/mL and the MBC 78 mg/mL. They were resistant to such extract: E. coli, S. Enteritidis and P. aeruginosa. Chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts were bacteriostatic against the five strains, but chloroform inhibited them all with MICs of 15 mg/mL, while ethyl acetate had MICs of 7.56 mg/mL for S. aureus, 1.89 mg/mL for S. epidermidis, 15.12 mg/mL for S. Enteritidis and 30.25 mg/mL for E. coli and P. aeruginosa. Regarding cytotoxicity, the essential oil compromised the cell viability of the Vero E6 line, only at the highest concentration, 4.4 mg/mL, inhibiting about 93.91% in 24h and 94.26% in 48h. In HeLa cells, in 24h the oil at the same dose had inhibition of 21%, which after 48h increased to 44.3%, showing a possible antitumor action. For the non-tumor cell line HEK-293, the oil had no toxic effect. It is concluded that the results are promising, opening future prospects for M. urundeuva leaf products being pharmacologically viable.

O problema ? contextualizado no processo de restrutura??o do Estado brasileiro e da economia nacional decorrentes do conjunto de importantes transforma??es que a sociedade brasileira vivenciou durante as d?cadas de 80 e 90 do s?culo XX. Nessa dire??o, a Constitui??o Federal de 1988 instituiu uma ordem econ?mica firmada sobre os princ?pios de economia de mercado, na qual a interven??o do Estado ?, majoritariamente, limitada ? regulamenta??o das atividades econ?micas e a iniciativa privada assume um papel importante na condu??o da economia e desenvolvimento do Brasil.

The problem is framed in the restructuring of the Brazilian state and the national economy resulting from the set of important transformations that Brazilian society experienced during the 80s and 90s of the twentieth century process. In this direction, the Federal Constitution of 1988 instituted an economic order predicated upon the principles of market economy, in which state intervention is mostly limited to regulation of economic activities and the private sector plays an important role in driving the economy and development of Brazil. This framework promoted the growth of the importance of antitrust law in the country, as it its aim is to preserve market mechanisms. And, to complete the proposed analysis, this paper describes and evaluates the economic organization established by the Constitution and presents the Brazilian System for Protection of Competition, under Brazilian antitrust law. It exposes economic theory to the examination of mergers under the law of competition. Also, analyzes the regulatory provisions contained in Law 12,529 / 2011 regulating the mergers control. This law repealed Law 8884/94 and restructured the Brazilian System for Protection of Competition - BSPC. The Law 12,529 / 2011 introduced several changes in the legal discipline of mergers to streamline the institutional structure of the competent bodies for the prevention and repression of anticompetitive conduct, it aims to increase efficiency and it changed the processes and control parameters of concentration economic ? it states that mergers only become legally effective by CADE?s approval.

However, the spatial distribution of these services will be marked by an uneven distribution on the places, what will be in according with the conditions offered by the same in each historical period. Accordingly, the objective of this job is analyze the use of the territory by the health s private service and the dynamics that promotes in Natal city in the technical scientific information period. Thus, seeking to search this goal, realized literature, documentary, empirical, considering the process of development and the spatial distribution of the health s private service in the city. From a topology we can observe that prevails in the city a service s concentration at all levels of complexity in only a few neighborhoods, being Tirol and Petr?polis, which are neighborhoods that have high densities of engineer system, bigger fluidity, and the best level salaries of the city, which present a greater number of these establishments. However, equal this concentration has occurred a dispersion of these services to other neighborhoods, as for example Lagoa Nova which is presenting the same attractiveness in the view of attributes territorial, begins to protect services presenting the same profile like the firsts. However, the city has a significant demand to this kind of service found in these neighborhoods, some events provided the emergency of another type of market of health s private service, that are those created to attend guests with a lower purchasing power, which will have their establishments in the same way selectively distributed in some areas of the city, which will not be the same pursued by the other, showing how selective is the installation of an enterprise guide by the logic of capitalism reproduction. So, the imperative of spatial selectivity presented by the health s private sector exposes an use of the differential territory for these services / Na contemporaneidade presenciamos na cidade de Natal, a expans?o da estrutura e dos servi?os privados de sa?de.

Deste modo, buscando alcan?ar tal objetivo, realizamos pesquisa bibliogr?fica, documental, e emp?rica, considerando o processo de expans?o e a espacializa??o dos servi?os privados de sa?de na cidade. A partir de uma topologia pudemos evidenciar que prevalece na cidade uma concentra??o de servi?os de todos os n?veis de complexidade em apenas alguns bairros, sendo Petr?polis e Tirol, que s?o bairros que possuem altas densidades de sistemas de engenharia, maior fluidez, e ainda as maiores rendas m?dias salariais da cidade, os que apresentam um maior n?mero desses estabelecimentos. Entretanto, paralelamente a esta concentra??o vem ocorrendo uma dispers?o destes servi?os para outros bairros, como ? o caso de Lagoa Nova que apresentando a mesma atratividade do ponto de vista dos atributos territoriais, passa a abrigar servi?os apresentando o mesmo perfil que os prestados nos primeiros. Todavia, embora a cidade tenha uma significativa demanda para o tipo de servi?o encontrado nestes bairros, um conjunto de eventos proporcionou a emerg?ncia de outro tipo de mercado de servi?os privados de sa?de, que s?o ?queles voltados para uma clientela com menor poder aquisitivo, que ter? seus estabelecimentos do mesmo modo, seletivamente distribu?dos em algumas ?reas da cidade, que n?o ser?o as mesmas perseguidas pelas demais, demonstrando o quanto seletivo ? a instala??o de um empreendimento guiado pela l?gica de reprodu??o capitalista. Assim, o imperativo da seletividade espacial apresentado pelo setor de sa?de privada exp?e um uso do territ?rio diferencial por esses servi?os

Cellulases have been the most employed enzymes on food industry, acting sinergically on the hydrolysis of the glucosidic links ?-1,4 from the molecules of cellulose, and being used on several applications in this sector as in vegetal oils extraction, fruit maceration and juice clarification. Based on this context, the present study aimed to produce, concentrate and partially characterize an enzymatic extract by a mutant fungus strain of Aspergillus niger. Production was performed by solid-state fermentation (SSF) in aerated columns, using humidified wheat bran with (NH4)2SO4 solution on 0,1N HCl as substrate and cellobiose as inducer. Cellulolytic extract was a blend of extracts from three different assays selected on previous studies as the best conditions for the enzymes caboxymethilcellulase, ?-glucosidase and filter paper cellulose (FPase). During the characterization of the enzymatic extract, besides cellulases activity, the presence of protease and other enzymes with similar action to cellulases as xylanase and poligalacturonase was evaluated. For enzymatic extract concentration, three different strategies were performed: ultrafiltration, using a stainless steel plates system through a 20 kDa molecular weight cut-off polyethersulphone membrane and 0,014 m2 area; precipitation with ammonium sulphate under 20%, 40 %, 60% and 80% saturation level and lyophiilization. The best results were achieved by the ultrafiltration process, partially purified sample and providing enzymatic activities recovery between 75% and 99%, except for FPase. SDS-PAGE analysis presented 15 visible protein bands on cellulolytic extract with molecular weights ranging from 13.3 to 104.6 kDa. Zymography test was applied for cellulases and correlate enzymes as well as to protease, however, just for the last one the conditions were considered appropriate, identifying bands on 88, 103 and 145 kDa. The effective performance of ?-glucosidase and xylanase over xylan and cellobiose hydrolysis was confirmed by thin layer chromatography. A central rotational statistical design 22 with 4 central points was used for evaluating optimal temperature and pH for carboxymethylcellulase and ?-glucosidase. The analysis of the results obtained for both enzymes demonstrated that all variables were significative at a 95% confidence level. Based on the conditions studied it can be concluded that optimal pH and temperature ranges for efficient and combined action of carboxymethylcellulase and ?-glucosidase are 3.7 to 5.5 and 60 to 65?C, respectively. / A produ??o de enzimas para uso em diferentes ?reas da agroind?stria de alimentos mostra perspectivas futuras promissoras, devido ?s v?rias caracter?sticas inerentes ? a??o das enzimas que s?o compostos naturais, biodegrad?veis e capazes de desempenhar rea??es espec?ficas com melhor qualidade. Entre as enzimas mais utilizadas pelo setor de alimentos est?o as celulases, um complexo de enzimas que atuam de forma sin?rgica sobre a hidr?lise das liga??es glicos?dicas ?-1,4 das mol?culas de celulose, e possuem v?rias aplica??es industriais neste setor, como na extra??o de ?leos vegetais, na macera??o de frutas e na clarifica??o de sucos. Dentro deste contexto, este trabalho teve como objetivo produzir, concentrar e caracterizar parcialmente um extrato celulol?tico obtido por linhagem f?ngica mutante de Aspergillus niger. A produ??o foi realizada por fermenta??o no estado s?lido (FES) em colunas aeradas, utilizando como substrato farelo de trigo triturado umidificado com solu??o de (NH4)2SO4 em HCl 0,1N e celobiose, como indutor. O extrato celulol?tico consistiu de uma mistura de extratos obtidos em 3 ensaios fermentativos diferentes, selecionados em trabalhos anteriores como as melhores condi??es para produ??o de cada uma das enzimascarboximetilcelulase (CMCase), ?-glicosidase e celulase em papel de filtro (FPase). Durante a caracteriza??o do extrato enzim?tico, al?m da atividade das celulases, tamb?m era avaliado o teor de prote?na, a presen?a de protease e de enzimas correlatas ? a??o de celulases como xilanase e poligalacturonase. Para concentra??o do extrato enzim?tico foram realizadas tr?s diferentes estrat?gias: ultrafiltra??o em um sistema de quadro e placas em a?o inox, utilizando uma membrana de polietersulfona com massa molar de corte de 20 kDa e ?rea de 0,014m2; precipita??o com sulfato de am?nio utilizando satura??es de 20%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 80% e liofiliza??o. O processo de ultrafiltra??o foi o que obteve o melhor resultado, purificando parcialmente a amostra e proporcionando uma recupera??o das atividades enzim?ticas entre 75% e 99% para todas as atividades avaliadas, exceto FPase. A an?lise eletrofor?tica em SDS-PAGE demonstrou a presen?a de 15 bandas vis?veis de prote?nas no extrato celulol?tico com pesos moleculares que compreendem uma faixa entre 13,3 e 104,6 kD. O teste de zimografia foi realizado para as celulases e enzimas correlatas, bem como para protease, no entanto somente para esta ?ltima, as condi??es testadas foram adequadas tornando-se poss?vel identificar bandas em 88, 103 e 145 kDa. A efetiva a??o das enzimas ?-glicosidase e xilanase na hidr?lise de celobiose e xilana, respectivamente,foi comprovada em cromatografia de camada fina. Al?m disso, a temperatura e pH ?timos de atua??o de carboximetilcelulase e ?-glicosidase foram determinados utilizando o delineamento composto central rotacional 22, com 4 pontos centrais. A an?lise dos resultados de ambas as enzimas demonstrou que as vari?veis eram significativas, a um n?vel de confian?a de 95%. Com base nas condi??es estudadas, concluiu-se que as faixas de pH e temperatura ?timos para a atua??o eficiente e conjunta de CMCase e ?-glicosidase est?o entre 3,7 a 5,5 e 60 a 65 ?C, respectivamente.

The expected benefits of homogenization include increased mechanical strength, toughness and resistance to delamination. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of stacking sequence on the tensile strength of laminates. Composite plates were fabricated using unidirectional layers of carbon/epoxy prepreg with configurations [903/303/-303]S and [90/30/-30]3S. Specimens were subjected to tensile and open hole tension (OHT) tests. According to the experimental results, the mean values of strength for the homogenized laminates [90/30/-30]3S were 140% and 120% greater for tensile and OHT tests, respectively, as compared to laminates with configuration [903/303/-303]S. The increase in tensile strength for more homogenized laminates was associated with the increment in interlaminar interfaces, which requires more energy to produce delamination, and the more complicated crack propagation through plies with different orientations. OHT strength was not affected by the presence of the hole due to the predominance of the interlaminar shear stress in relation to the stress concentration produced by the hole / Laminados formados por l?minas com diferentes orienta??es, finamente dispersas, s?o classificados como homogeneizados. Os benef?cios esperados da homogeneiza??o incluem aumento de resist?ncia mec?nica, da tenacidade e da resist?ncia ? delamina??o. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da sequ?ncia de empilhamento na resist?ncia ? tra??o de laminados quase-isotr?picos. Placas de comp?sitos foram fabricadas com l?minas unidirecionais de ep?xi/carbono com configura??es [903/303/-303]S e [90/30/-30]3S. Corpos de prova foram submetidos a ensaios de tra??o e de open hole tension (OHT). De acordo com os resultados experimentais, os valores m?dios de resist?ncia para os laminados mais homogeneizados [90/30/-30]3S foram incrementados em 140% e 120% nos ensaios de resist?ncia ? tra??o e OHT, respectivamente, em rela??o aos laminados com configura??o [903/303/-303]S. O aumento de resist?ncia ? tra??o para laminados mais homogeneizados foi relacionado com o maior n?mero de interfaces interlaminares, que aumenta a quantidade de energia necess?ria para produzir delamina??o, e a maior dificuldade de propaga??o de trincas atrav?s de l?minas com orienta??es diferentes. A resist?ncia medida nos ensaios de OHT n?o foi afetada pela presen?a do furo devido ? predomin?ncia da influ?ncia da tens?o de cisalhamento interlaminar em rela??o ao efeito de concentra??o de tens?o provocado pelo furo

The climatic effects imprint dynamics specific to pasture ecosystems, which are generally referred as "seasonality of the pasture." This study was set in an area of Fragiudult soil, located in Serop?dica municipality, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. The experiment began with a cut to make uniform the pasture at the height of 0.05 m, in February 2002. The aim was to determine the influence of climatic and genotypes factors in the expression of features of production, also the partition of carbon and nutrients in the aerial and ground parts of the perennial grasses Cynodon nlemfuensis (stargrass Puerto Rico); Cynodon spp (Tifton-85 grass); Digitaria swazilandensis (swazi grass) and Digitaria decumbens cv. Transvala (Transvala grass). Two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study: i) in the drier periods of the year, the fodder allocate more carbon and nutrients in roots than in the aerial parts of the plants; ii) the species have more or less plasticity to respond to seasonal climatic fluctuations, and periodic defoliation, evidencing differential adaptive capabilities. To check these possibilities, it was used a simple strategy trial, where, from the cut for uniformity, there were evaluated eight periods, between 03/26/02 and 01/14/03, at intervals of 42 days, sampling material of aerial and root fitomass. After processing the samples, the fresh and air dry mass were determined (kg ha-1). In the root system, the accumulation and distribution of dry weight, and the length and surface area of roots to the depth of 1.0 m were determined, by sequential extraction of monoliths (1.0 dm3) from the wall of a soil trench. In sub-samples of dried and grinded aerial parts and roots, the levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium (g kg-1) were quantified. The results showed that: regardless of forage species, the root:shoot ratio (based on dry fitomass in standing fluctuated seasonally, with higher values in the dryer months of the year, and smaller in the months of highest rainfall; the species varied in their responses, evidencing the existence of phenotypic plasticity for attributes of production (accumulation of forage and root mass) and adaptive (length and specific root area), with the Tifton-85 grass outstanding by the level of productivity and stability; the magnitude of the differences between the species was controlled by the water availability, and it was amplified in the periods of increased rainfall and reduced in driest periods. The concentration of nutrients, in aerial and root biomass, responses were varied according to the nutrient, but, in general, the more nutrient concentrated in Digitaria that Cynodon, observation which was also valid for the quality of fiber. Already, the Cynodon accumulated more nutrients that Digitaria per unit area. For the relations of concentrations and accumulation of nutrients roots: shoot had little effect on the grasses and a rule, during dried periods was higher than those of rainfall period. Finally, each grass has its own dynamic in relations soil-plant-atmosphere, showing once again the different adaptive responses of these grasses. / As condi??es ambientais de luz, temperatura, disponibilidade h?drica e de nutrientes, junto com o pastejo, s?o os principais moduladores do crescimento e fenologia das esp?cies forrageiras. Os efeitos clim?ticos imprimem din?micas espec?ficas ao ecossistema pastoril, que s?o geralmente referidas como sazonalidade das pastagens . O presente trabalho foi realizado em uma ?rea de solo Planossolo, localizada no munic?pio de Serop?dica, RJ. O prop?sito foi o de determinar a influ?ncia dos fatores clim?ticos e genot?picos na express?o de caracter?sticas produtivas; assim como na parti??o de carbono e nutrientes entre as por??es a?reas e subterr?neas das gram?neas perenes Cynodon nlemfuensis (capim-Estrela Porto Rico); Cynodon spp (capim-Tifton-85); Digitaria swazilandensis (capim-su?zi) e Digitaria decumbens cv. Transvala (capim-Transvala). Foram formuladas duas hip?teses para orientar o trabalho: i) nos per?odos mais secos do ano, os capins alocam mais carbono e nutrientes nas ra?zes do que na parte a?rea; ii) os capins possuem maior ou menor plasticidade para responder ?s oscila??es clim?ticas sazonais e ? desfolha peri?dicas, evidenciando capacidades adaptativas diferenciais. Para verificar essas possibilidades, usou-se uma estrat?gia experimental simples, onde, a partir do corte de uniformiza??o, foram avaliados oito per?odos de crescimento, entre 26/03/02 e 14/01/03, a intervalos de 42 dias, com amostragens de fitomassa de parte a?rea e radicular. Ap?s processamento das amostras, foram determinadas a massa verde e massa seca da parte a?rea (kg ha-1). No sistema radicular, foram determinados o ac?mulo e a distribui??o da massa seca, al?m do comprimento e ?rea superficial das ra?zes at? a profundidade de 1,0 m, pela extra??o seq?encial de mon?litos (1,0 dm3) a partir da parede de uma trincheira de solo. Em sub-amostras secas e mo?das de parte a?rea e ra?zes foram determinados os teores de nitrog?nio, f?sforo, c?lcio e magn?sio (g kg-1). Os resultados obtidos permitiram observar que: independentemente do capim, a rela??o raiz: parte a?rea oscilou sazonalmente, tendo maiores valores nos meses mais secos do ano e menores nos meses de maior pluviosidade; os capins variaram as suas respostas, evidenciando a exist?ncia de plasticidade fenot?pica para atributos produtivos (ac?mulos de forragem e massa radicular) e adaptativos (comprimento espec?fico e ?rea radicular), tendo o capim-Tifton-85 se sobressa?do pelo n?vel de produtividade e estabilidade; a magnitude das diferen?as entre os capins foi controlada pela disponibilidade de ?gua, sendo amplificada nos per?odos de maior pluviosidade e reduzida nos per?odos mais secos. A concentra??o de nutrientes, tanto da fitomassa a?rea como da fitomassa radicular, tiveram respostas variadas de acordo com o nutriente, mas, de um modo geral, as Digitaria concentraram mais nutrientes que os Cynodon, observa??o que tamb?m foi v?lida para a qualidade da fibra. J?, os Cynodon acumularam mais nutrientes que as Digitaria por unidade de ?rea. Para as rela??es das concentra??es e ac?mulos de nutrientes ra?zes: parte a?rea teve poucos efeitos para os capins e, em geral no per?odo seco foram superiores aos dos per?odos chuvosos. Por fim, cada capim estabeleceu sua pr?pria din?mica nas rela??es solo-planta-atmosfera, evidenciando mais uma vez as diferentes respostas adaptativas destas gram?neas forrageiras.

Aspects such as geography, temporal and spatial resolution combined with a consistent methodology and provide a substantial economic advantage compared to traditional methods of in situ data collecting. Images of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor onboard NASA's AQUA satellite were obtained to support systematic data collections related to the campaign of environmental monitoring and characterization of Potiguar Basin, held in May 2004. Images of Total Suspension Matter (TSM) and values of radiance standard were generated for the calculation of concentrations of total suspension matter (TSM), chlorophyll-a and sea surface temperature (SST). These data sets were used for statistical comparisons between measures in situ and satellite estimates looking validate algorithms or develop a comprehensive regional approach empirically. AQUA-MODIS images allowed the simultaneous comparison of two-dimensional water quality (total suspension matter), phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll-a) variability and physical (temperature). For images of total suspension matter, the generated models showed a good correlation with the field data, allowing quantitative and qualitative analysis. The images of chlorophyll-a showed a consistent correlation with the in situ values of concentration. The algorithms adjusted for these images obtained a correlation coefficient fairly well with the data field in order that the sensor can be having an effect throughout the water column and not just the surface. This has led to a fit between the data of chlorophyll-the integration of the average sampling interval of the entire water column up to the level of the first optical depth, with the data generated from the images. This method resulted in higher values of chlorophyll concentration to greater depths, due to the fact that we are integrating more values of chlorophyll in the water column. Thus we can represent the biomass available in the water column. Images SST and SST measures in situ showed a mean difference DT (SST insitu - SST sat) around -0.14 ? C, considered low, making the results very good. The integration of total suspension matter, chlorophyll-a, the temperature of the sea surface (SST) and auxiliary data enabled the recognition of some of the main ways to fund the continental shelf. The main features highlighted were submerged canyons of rivers Apodi and A?u, some of the lines and beachrocks reefs, structural highs and the continental shelf break which occurs at depths around -60 m. The results confirmed the high potential for use of the AQUA-MODIS images to environmental monitoring of sea areas due to ease of detection of the field two-dimensional material in suspension on the sea surface, temperature and the concentration of chlorophyll-a / O sensoriamento remoto orbital tem sido utilizado como ferramenta vantajosa na melhoria do conhecimento sobre os aspectos hidrodin?micos e oceanogr?ficos na por??o norte da plataforma continental do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, regi?o offshore da Bacia Potiguar. Aspectos como a cobertura geogr?fica e resolu??es temporal e espacial, somados a uma metodologia consistente garantem uma substancial vantagem e economia em rela??o aos m?todos tradicionais de coletas de dados in situ. Em apoio ?s coletas sistem?ticas referentes ? campanha de caracteriza??o e monitoramento ambiental da Bacia Potiguar, realizada em maio de 2004, foram obtidas imagens do sensor Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instalado a bordo do sat?lite AQUA da NASA. Foram gerados imagens de material partitulado em suspens?o e valores de radi?ncias normalizadas para o calculo de concentra??es do material particulado em suspens?o (MPS), clorofila-a e temperatura da superf?cie do mar (TSM). Estes conjuntos de dados foram utilizados para compara??es estat?sticas entre medidas in situ e estimativas por sat?lite buscando validar algoritmos globais ou desenvolver uma abordagem regional empiricamente. As imagens AQUA-MODIS permitiram a compara??o bidimensional simult?nea da qualidade da ?gua (material particulado em suspens?o, da biomassa fitoplanct?nica (clorofila-a) e variabilidade f?sica (temperatura). Para as imagens de material particulado em suspens?o, os modelos gerados apresentaram uma boa correla??o em rela??o aos dados de campo, permitindo uma an?lise quantitativa e qualitativa dessas imagens. As imagens de clorofila-a apresentaram correla??o consistente com os valores das concentra??es in situ. Os algoritmos ajustados para essas imagens obtiveram um coeficiente de correla??o razoavelmente bom em rela??o aos dados de campo, tendo em vista que o sensor possa estar tendo influ?ncia de toda a coluna d ?gua e n?o apenas da superf?cie. Esse fato levou a um ajuste entre os dados de clorofila-a da integra??o das m?dias dos intervalos de coleta de toda a coluna ?gua at? o n?vel da primeira profundidade ?ptica, em rela??o aos dados gerados das imagens. Tal m?todo resultou em valores mais altos de concentra??o de clorofila para maiores profundidades, devido ao fato de se estar integrando mais valores de clorofila na coluna d ?gua. Dessa maneira pode-se representar a biomassa dispon?vel na coluna d ?gua. As imagens TSM e as medidas de TSM in situ mostraram uma diferen?a m?dia v DT (TSM insitu TSM sat) em torno de -0,14 ?C, considerada baixa, tornando os resultados muito bons. A integra??o de imagens de sedimentos em suspens?o, de clorofila-a e de temperatura da superf?cie do mar possibilitaram o reconhecimento de algumas das principais formas de fundo da plataforma continental. As principais fei??es destacadas foram os canyons submersos dos rios Apodi e A?u, algumas das linhas de beachrocks e recifes, altos estruturais e a quebra da plataforma continental que ocorre a profundidades em torno de 60 m. Os resultados confirmaram o alto potencial de uso das imagens AQUA-MODIS no monitoramento ambiental de ?reas oce?nicas devido ? facilidade na detec??o do campo bidimensional material em suspens?o na superf?cie do mar, de temperatura e da concentra??o de clorofila-a
