Through the exploitation method used, the mining cycle provides mineral ore, which subsequently undergoes various metallurgical processes and its commercialization and thereby generates profits to the mining company. Currently, within this cycle, the hauling and transportation stages are those that have a lower efficiency with respect to the drilling and blasting stages. Therefore, the sector is always seeking effective ways to optimize these processes, reduce downtime and increase productivity. Six Sigma is a technique that allows for the continuous process improvement. In this study, the factors that generate inefficiency in the hauling cycle are determined, and alternatives are implemented to solve the main problem and improve the operations cycle.

Para a cultura do sorgo (outono-inverno de 2017) foram avaliadas o estande inicial (PI) e final de plantas (PF), índice de sobrevivência(IS), diâmetro do caule (DC), altura de planta (AP), altura da panícula (APL) e comprimento de panícula (CP) e produtividade de matéria seca (PMS) de planta como forragem. Contudo para os resultados do experimento da soja, os mecanismos de disco proporcionaram um aumento para população inicial e final de plantas, e estabilidade populacional e como consequência aumento de produtividade de grãos e redução do custo econômico pela distribuição do fertilizante à lanço no mesmo dia da semeadura proporcionar maior largura e menor tempo operacional em áreas com SPD estabilizado. Para o sorgo as modalidades de distribuição do fertilizante de semeadura variaram estatisticamente para o estande final de plantas, produtividade de matéria seca (PMS) de planta como forragem e altura de inserção de planta e panícula, assim como os mecanismos sulcadores diferenciaram para o estande inicial e final de plantas, índice de sobrevivência e produtividade de matéria seca (PMS) de planta. Houve interação significativa entre modalidade de distribuição adubo e mecanismos sulcadores para produtividade de matéria seca (PMS) e altura de plantas de sorgo, sendo que cada sulcador apresentou valores distintos, em que a semeadura com disco e adubo a lanço no dia da semeadura e adubação antecipada com haste proporcionaram maior produtividade de matéria seca (PMS). Conclui-se que a distribuição a lanço no mesmo dia semeadura de soja e sorgo proporcionou produtividade de grãos e forragem similar à semeadura convencional em que o adubo é depositado no sulco. / Pre-sowing fertilization is a practice that has provided reduced operating costs. The experiment was installed in the Teaching, Research and Extension Farm - FEPE, of Engineering Faculty of Ilha Solteira, located in Selvíria-MS, in an area with 36 years of no-tillage system (NTS).

The initial (IP) and final (FP) plant stand, survival index (SI), stem diameter (SD), plant height (PH), panicle height (PAH) and panicle length (PL) were evaluated for sorghum (autumn-winter 2017) and dry matter yield (DMY) of the plant as forage. However, for the results of the soybean experiment, the disc provided an increase in initial and final population of plants, and population stability and consequently increased grain yield and economic cost reduction by the hauling distribution on the same day sowing provide greater width and shorter operational time in areas with NTS stabilized.For the sorghum, the distribution modalities of distributing sowing fertilizer varied statistically for the final plant stand, dry matter yield (DMY) of the plant as forage and height of plant and panicle insertion, as well as the furrowing mechanisms differentiated for the initial and final population, survival index and dry matter yield (DMY) of the plant. There was a significant interaction between the mode of fertilizer distribution and furrowing mechanisms for dry matter yield (DMY) and height of sorghum plants, with each mechanism showed different values, in which sowing with disc with hauling distribution in the day of sowing and anticipated fertilization with stem increased yield of dry matter (DMY). Concluded that the hauling distribution in the same day of sowing of soybean and sorghum provided grain yield and forage similar to conventional sowing in which the fertilizer is deposited in the groove.

O primeiro capítulo, intitulado “Comparação da capturabilidade de duas redes de arrasto de praia em um gradiente ambiental desde a região estuarial da Lagoa dos Patos até a zona de arrebentação oceânica (Praia do Cassino), Rio Grande, RS” compara as capturas de duas redes de arrasto de praia de mesmas proporções, diferenciadas pela presença de um saco central em uma das redes, considerando suas abundâncias, riquezas, equitatividades, predominância e similaridade de espécies e a distribuição de comprimento dos indivíduos capturados. O segundo capítulo, que tem como título em português “A influência da distância de arrasto na capturabilidade de uma rede de arrasto de praia”, é apresentado de forma sucinta na língua portuguesa, e na forma completa em inglês, como anexo à dissertação. Este capítulo descreve os padrões de captura de uma rede de arrasto de praia com saco, em três diferentes distâncias de arrasto. É possível concluir que as duas redes de arrasto de praia são eficientes para estudar a estrutura de comunidades de peixes de zonas rasas ao longo de um gradiente estuarino-marinho. E recomenda-se, baseado no estudo piloto, que os arrastos são mais eficientes quando realizados em curtas distâncias. / This dissertation comprises a General Introduction, two chapters and Final Conclusions. The first chapter, entitled, “Catchability comparison of two beach seines in an environmental gradient from the estuary of Patos Lagoon to the adjacent marine surf zone (Cassino beach), Rio Grande, RS”, is entirely presented in Portuguese. This chapter compares the catches of two similar beach seines (differentiated by the presence of a central bag in one of the seines), analyzing their abundances, richness, equitability, species dominance and similarity, and specimens size distribution. The second chapter, “The influence of hauling distance in fish catchability of a bag seine net”, is briefly presented in Portuguese, and fully presented in the English as an appendix. This chapter describes the catch patterns of a beach seine bag, in three different hauling distances. It is possible to conclude that the two beach seines are efficient for studying fish community structure across an estuarine – marine gradient in shallow areas. Based on this pilot study, we recommend the use of short hauling distances.

Commodity hauling of bulk goods is a growing enterprise that has expanded from hauling agricultural products to hauling many other bulk products. Commodity trailers are used to haul agricultural products from storage facilities to processing plants. These trailers are designed for highway use but are frequently required to work in field conditions as well. In many cases this environment overstresses these trailers and results in permanent irreparable damage. In addition to the structural problems of these trailers, the current systems for unloading the bulk produce from these trailers have serious inadequacies. While functional, the currently used chain and non-chain driven belt discharge devices are expensive and often problematic, requiring frequent maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, the discharge device also causes damage to the produce. This thesis provides innovative solutions to these two key problems and introduces a completely new trailer design that can be used for both field and road conditions. The main chassis of the trailer has a framework of ribs supported by two I-beams. This unique rib design combined with the main I beams act as large vertebra, which results in a rigid underbody that maintains flexibility and strength. Special consideration was taken while creating this design to account for dynamic loading on soft muddy soils or uneven surfaces while still maintaining the desired lightweight trailer characteristics. In addition to the improved trailer frame and body design, a simple and effective device for unloading bulk products was constructed. The new design-a belt-over-chain system-is actually two separate systems performing one job in unison with different characteristics and speeds. The system works by means of a hydraulic orbit motor that actuates the drive chains into motion. The weight of bulk commodities on the chain presses the unattached conveyor belt against the chain and cross-members, creating friction, which advances the conveyor belt. This thesis solves two of the problems associated with hauling bulk produce from the field to the storage facility and sets the groundwork for improving the hauling capabilities used to move commodities from the field. Finally, this thesis introduces a new commodity self-unloading trailer for hauling produce, which has a belt system that preserves quality and a body design that provides trailer longevity.

交互投資（CROSS-HAULING）和荷蘭病（DUTCH DISEASE）是最近在國際貿易與經濟發 展上引起大家注意的兩種重要現象。在經濟發展史上，外人投資（FOREIGN INVESTME NT）在十九世紀前半期是屬於單向的資本移動，但在十九世紀後半期卻是屬於雙向的 資本移動，亦就是一國同時存在有資本輸出和輸入的現象，CAVES（１９７１）和JON ES-NEARY-RUANE（１９８３）稱此為交互投資。另外在近年來，不管是已開發或未開 發國家，遭遇到荷蘭病現象的國家不斷地在增加，所謂荷蘭病是指一國同時存在有繁 榮和衰退兩貿易部門的現象，例如西歐和一些石油輸出國家，常常原料部門是繁榮的 而傳統的製造業部門卻是衰退的，因此荷蘭病或是反工業化（DE-INDUSTRIALIZATION ）常指的是一國產業結構上的改變。CAVES（１９７１） 曾建議在研究交互投資方面 最適當的模型應是特定要素模型，JONES-NEARY-RUANE（１９８３） 即根據CAVES 的 建議而發展出有交互投資的一國特定要素模型,本文第一部份則嚐試根據JONES-NEARY -RUANE（１９８３）之模型的基本假設，從生產結構出發作交互投資與資本所得課稅 的一般均衡分析；但是利用一國特定要素模型作分析時，假設外國的兩種特定資本報 酬必須固定，在這樣的一國模型和特殊假設下，常會失去一些有意義的結果。因此本 文第二部份乃根據林柏生（１９８５）之兩國特定要素的假設，嚐試從生產結構出發 ，再重新探討對資本所得課稅的一般均衡分析；在這一般均衡分析中，同時驗證了資 本所得課稅和技術進步同樣影響交互投資與產業結構改變現象的結論，並根據追求生 產所得極大原則，討論交互投資情況下之最適租稅政策。第三部份則分別利用一國特 定要素模型與兩國特定要素模型，作國際交互投資的政策效果分析。

In this dissertation, we use unique data set to examine bilateral Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) data and find determinant factors of bilateral FDI activities. In Chapter 1, we examine the relationships among the bilateral annual non-aggregated national level FDI, all levels of Economic Integration Agreements (EIAs) and political turnovers happened in both FDI exporting countries and FDI importing countries. In Chapter 2, we test the Tariff-Jumping FDI hypothesis and Export-Oriented FDI hypothesis. In Chapter 3, we examine and determine the key determinant factors of Cross-Hauling FDI status.
