Analýza obratového cyklu v potravinářském řetězci / Analysis of the Turnover Ratio in the Food-processing Industry

Kostihová, Kristýna January 2010 (has links)
The goal of my Master's Thesis is to describe the cash flows and profitability of milk and dairy products. The thesis is trying to define the whole process starting with the milk production till the product is bought by the final customer. The calculation of the net working capital of the farmer's cooperation, dairy works and retail stores is also included in my thesis. In this respect, the thesis deals with the problem of return of payables and receivables and the duration of the cash cycle. The thesis also calculates the product margin and profitability of some of the diary products. It focuses on price setting, if it is done according to the specific costs or if it is set by the market. The results of my thesis are based on eleven agricultural companies, six dairy works and three retail markets. A research is also included trying to answer the question weather the dairy products are essential goods, or if demand for them can be influenced by price. This research is based on answers of 85 respondents. The conclusion of this thesis is a fact that margin is not fairy set and the profit is redistributed on the basis of the market strength rather than by the value added. It also confirms the theory, that the closer the company is to the customer, the higher profit it usually makes.

Análise sismoestratigráfica das bacias de Barreirinhas e do Ceará como ferramenta para estudos paleoceanográficos no Cenozoico na Margem Equatorial Brasileira / Seismic stratigraphic analysis of the Barreirinhas and Ceara Basins as a tool to paleoceanographic studies on the Cenozoic of the Brazilian Equatorial Margin

Alves, Daniel Pavani Vicente 04 June 2018 (has links)
A Margem Equatorial Brasileira (MEB) é uma área de extrema importância para os estudos paleoceanográficos e paleoclimáticos do Atlântico Equatorial, mas que ainda possui um vasto campo para pesquisa. Este trabalho visa aprimorar a compreensão desta importante região, fornecendo uma interpretação paleoceanográfica para a evolução sedimentar das Bacias do Ceará e de Barreirinhas no Cenozoico, a partir de uma análise sismoestratigráfica. Foram analisadas linhas de sísmica multicanal e informações de poços de exploração petrolífera para a construção de um modelo de evolução deposicional para as duas bacias. Este modelo foi criado a partir da análise dos registros sísmicos e de técnicas de sismoestratigrafia e mapeamento de horizontes. Como resultados, identificaram-se cinco marcadores cronoestratigráficos e definiram-se duas fases distintas: (1) o Paleógeno e (2) o Neógeno + Quaternário. Durante o Paleógeno, a sedimentação passa a ter maior influência oceânica, com a sedimentação de desenvolvendo em um clima quente e úmido, e ainda controlada por uma circulação de superfície e de fundo ainda muito restritas. Durante o Neógeno e Quaternário, a Corrente Norte do Brasil (CNB) e a Corrente de Contorno Oeste Profunda passaram a atuar efetivamente na MEB, remobilizando os sedimentos e erodindo os depósitos de águas profundas. Durante este período, foi também possível identificar o efeito das variações climáticas no aporte sedimentar nas bacias e na circulação, principalmente com enfraquecimento da CNB e da Célula de Revolvimento Meridional do Atlântico. / The Brazilian Equatorial Margin (BEM) is an area of extreme importance for the paloceanography and paleoclimatology of the South Atlantic although still with a wide field for research. The scope of this work is improve the comprehension of this important region, with the paleoceanographic interpretation for the sedimentary evolution of the Ceará and Barreirinhas basins in the Cenozoic through a seismic stratigraphic approach. Multichannel seismic lines and bore hole geophysical data were analyzed to the construction of a depositional model for both basins. This model was created using seismic stratigraphy and horizon mapping techniques. As results, five chronostratigraphical markers were identified and two distinct phases defined: (1) Paleogene and (2) Neogene + Quaternary. During the Paleogene, the sedimentation became more controlled by marine influence, developing in a time of warm and humid climate and surface and bottom currents still incipient. During the Neogene and Quaternary, the North Brazil Current (NBC) and the Deep Western Boundary Current became more important in the sediment transport, erosion and rework in the BEM. During this period, it was also possible to identify the climatic changes effect on the sediment supply for both basins, and also the paleocirculation variations, especially with the weakening of the NBC and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.

Modelo de margem de contribuição aplicado ao planejamento de marketing no transporte marítimo regular de contêineres. / Contribution margin model applied to the marketing planning in the container liner service.

Costa, Gustavo Adolfo Alves da 22 June 2006 (has links)
Este trabalho apresenta o panorama atual da indústria do transporte marítimo regular de contêineres e o mercado em que atua, concluindo que o crescimento da atividade econômica mundial, e conseqüentemente na demanda de transporte, exige maiores investimentos por parte dos armadores para adequação da oferta de capacidade de transporte e de rotas, aumentando a competição entre os mesmos. Os processos de globalização, desregulamentação e de concentração alteram significativamente nível de competição da indústria, tornando os armadores de baixa lucratividade em potenciais alvos para aquisições por parte de empresas mais competitivas e lucrativas. A implementação de contratos de serviços entre um armador e seus clientes, decorrentes da OSRA 1998, demandam uma revisão na metodologia aplicada em seu planejamento de marketing&sales , de forma a torná-lo mais científico, com uma maior utilização de ferramentas de pesquisa operacional, uma vez que a seleção dos clientes com os quais terá contratos, a duração destes, os níveis de fretes e os imbalances decorrentes destes contratos são fatores fundamentais para a sua rentabilidade. A possibilidade de utilização de um modelo de sistema de apoio a decisão, baseado em margem de contribuição, no planejamento de marketing&sales de um armador motivou a elaboração de uma metodologia para desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta de apoio à decisão, na qual os parâmetros relativos à demanda de transporte, capacidades, custos e receitas podem ser testados para análise da atuação do armador no mercado, visando a seleção de cargas e clientes que maximizam a margem bruta de contribuição dos fretes. A metodologia adotada e o modelo desenvolvido em programação linear mostram-se bastante consistentes e seus resultados apresentam uma boa aderência à realidade encontrada na indústria, uma vez que, os problemas normalmente apresentados no planejamento de marketing&sales de um armador são tratados e solucionados pelo modelo. / This work presents the current view about liner shipping industry and the market where it acts, summing up that the growth of world economic activity, and consequently in the demand of transport services, requires greater investments from the shipping lines in order to adjust their transport capacities and routes, increasing the competition among them. The globalization processes, deregulation and concentration changed the level of industry competition significantly, becoming the shipping lines with low profitability in white potentials for acquisitions on the part of more competitive and lucrative shipping lines. The service contracts implementation between a shipping line and its customers, as a result of OSRA 1998, demands a revision in the methodology applied in its planning of marketing & sales, enabling it more scientific with a bigger use of operational research tools, since the customers election based on service contracts and its validity, the freights level and the imbalances pertaining to said contracts are basic factors for its yield. The possibility of use a decision support system, based on contribution margin, in the shipping line's planning of marketing & sales, motivated the elaboration of a methodology for development of a decision support tool where the relative parameters to the demand of transport, capacities, costs and revenue can be tested for better shipping line performance analysis in the market, aiming the election of shipments and customers that maximize the freights' gross contribution margin. The adopted methodology and the model developed in linear programming reveal sufficiently consistent and its results present a good tack to the reality found in the industry, since the problems usually presented in the shipping line's planning of marketing & sales are treated and solved thru the model.

Fatores de prognóstico do mixofibrossarcoma apendicular / Prognostic factors of appendicular myxofibrosarcoma

Zumarraga Montaño, Juan Pablo 03 May 2018 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO: O mixofibrossarcoma (MFS) é um dos mais frequentes sarcomas de partes moles (SPM) em idosos que afeta principalmente as extremidades. Historicamente, é um grupo de tumores heterogêneos. Clinicamente está caracterizado por apresentar uma alta incidência de recorrência local (RL) e um conhecimento limitado sobre a sua capacidade de metástase. O índice de RL após a ressecção cirúrgica é relativamente maior quando comparado com outros SPM. Não existe um consenso em como identificar os pacientes com maior risco. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os fatores de prognóstico dos pacientes diagnosticados com MFS em uma instituição única. MÉTODOS: Foram analisados retrospectivamente os prontuários de 75 pacientes com diagnóstico confirmado de MFS nas extremidades, que foram submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico, nos últimos 25 anos. Comparamos idade, sexo, tamanho e localização do tumor, grau histológico segundo a Fédération Nationale des Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer (FNCLCC) e o estádio segundo a American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC). A média de idade foi 49,7 anos. A localização foi: membro superior (25,4%), membro inferior (66,6%) e pelve (8%). Os pacientes apresentaram baixo, intermediário e alto grau, em: 29,3%, 24% e 46,7% dos tumores, respectivamente. Pelo tamanho foram categorizados em: =/< 5 cm (13,3%), > 5 e <10 cm (42,7%), > 10 e <15 cm (9%) e =/> 15 cm (18,7%). Em total, 26,7% receberam radioterapia pós-operatória. As margens foram livres em 76% e comprometidas em 24%. A análise da regressão de Cox bivariada foi utilizada para determinar as associações entre os fatores clínicos e de tratamento com a RL. RESULTADOS: O tempo médio de seguimento foi 30.7 meses. O 26,7% dos pacientes apresentaram RL. Metástase foi reportada em 27 (36%) pacientes. O local mais comum de metástase foi: pulmão (92,6%) e gânglios linfáticos (18,5%). O tempo médio de sobrevida dos pacientes com metástase foi 21,2 meses. Os fatores preditivos para RL foram: margens comprometidas (hazard ratio 5.47, 95% intervalo de confiança, 2.23-13.40, P < 0.001) e metástase (hazard ratio 10.24, 95% intervalo de confiança, 3.53-26.68, P < 0.001). Os fatores preditivos da sobrevida livre de RL foram: grau histológico, margens comprometidas (hazard ratio 3.18, 95% intervalo de confiança, 1.51-6.70, P =0.001), e metástase (hazard ratio 15.23, 95% intervalo de confiança, 5.57-41.61, P= 0.001). Os fatores preditivos de sobrevida em geral foram: RL (hazard ratio 5.13, 95% intervalo de confiança, 2.15-12.24, P < 0.001), e metástase (hazard ratio 540.97, 95% intervalo de confiança, 5.04-58112.03, P < 0.001). CONCLUSÃO: As margens cirúrgicas comprometidas e a metástase estão diretamente associadas com a RL. O grau histológico do tumor, as margens comprometidas, a RL e a metástase, são fatores de pior prognóstico no MFS / BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas (STS) in elderly patients and it primarily affects the extremities. They are a historically heterogeneous group of tumors. The clinical course of MFS is characterized by a high incidence of local recurrences (LR), but knowledge about distant metastasis is sparse. MFS is reported to have a higher risk of LR following definitive surgical excision relative to other STS. There is no agreement on how to identify patients at major risk. The objectives of this study were to analyze the prognostic factors and outcomes of patients with MFS treated at a single institution. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 75 patients with pathologically confirmed MFS of the extremities who underwent surgery in the last 25 years. We compared the age, sex, tumor size and location, Fédération Nationale des Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer (FNCLCC) grade and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage. Median age was 49.7 years (range, 1 to 88 y). Site of disease was: upper extremity (25.4%), lower extremity (66.6%) and pelvic (8%). Patients had low, intermediate and high-grade, in: 29.3%, 24% and 46.7% of tumors, respectively. Tumors were categorized as =/< 5 cm (13.3%), > 5 and < 10 cm (42.7%), > 10 and < 15 cm (9%) and =/> 15 cm (18.7%). In total, 26.7% received postoperative radiotherapy. All patients underwent surgery. Margins were negative in 76% and positive in 24%. Bivariate Cox regression analysis was utilized to determine associations between clinical and treatment factors with LR. RESULTS: Median follow-up time was 30.7 months (range, 1.8 to 383.8 m). We found a 26.7% of LR. Distant metastasis was reported in 27 (36%) patients. The most common sites of metastasis were: lung (92.6%) and lymph nodes (18.5%). The overall survival rate in patients with metastasis was 21.2 months (range, 4.8 to 114.8 m). Predictors of LR were: positive margins (hazard ratio 5.47, 95% confidence interval, 2.23-13.40, P < 0.001) and distant metastasis (hazard ratio 10.24, 95% confidence interval, 3.53-26.68, P < 0.001). Predictors of overall survival free of LR were: grade, positive margins (hazard ratio 3.18, 95% confidence interval, 1.51-6.70, P =0.001), and distant metastasis (hazard ratio 15.23, 95% confidence interval, 5.57-41.61, P= 0.001). Predictors of overall survival were grade, LR (hazard ratio 5.13, 95% confidence interval, 2.15-12.24, P < 0.001), and distant metastasis (hazard ratio 540.97, 95% confidence interval, 5.04-58112.03, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: In this institutional series of MFS, positive margins and distant metastasis were significantly associated with a higher risk of LR. Tumor grade, LR, positive margins and distant metastases were significant predictors of overall survival poor prognosis

Quantitative analysis of breast lumpectomies using histology and micro-CT data

Patel, Kunal 22 January 2016 (has links)
OBJECTIVE: Breast cancer represents a significant risk in women's health, affecting many women worldwide. Current treatment options in the U.S involve a multidisciplinary approach, most often beginning with surgery to remove cancerous tissue. Evaluation of margins for cancer on excised tissue is an important part of surgery, an important predictor of survival. As a result, there has been a great deal of research interest in intraoperative margin assessment, with a focus on fast and accurate results. Micro-computed Tomography (micro-CT) has emerged as a promising avenue to this end. We hypothesize that micro-CT scans will show a statistically significant difference in radiodensity between cancerous and non-cancerous tissue at intraoperative scan times. METHODS: 15 breast lumpectomy specimens were collected from patients undergoing surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). Lumpectomies were scanned with a Nikon XTH225 Micro-CT scanner. Corresponding histology slides were scanned with a whole slide scanner, and matched with micro-CT scans. Representative areas of cancerous and non-cancerous tissues were segmented from micro-CT scans, and their respective radiodensity differences were tested for statistical significance. RESULTS: 9 of 15 lumpectomy cases were successfully matched with histology sections. Of the 9 cases matched, 8 showed a statistically significant difference in mean radiodensity. CONCLUSION: Due to potential confounds in the study, the results are difficult to deem conclusive. However, micro-CT remains a promising tool in margin assessment, and could be fit for clinical use with further study.

Sessim, Amir Gil January 2016 (has links)
O presente trabalho contextualiza a importância da determinação da viabilidade técnico-financeira em sistemas de produção de bovinos de corte, através da aplicação de uma análise técnica e econômica. O objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar uma análise produtiva e econômica de sistemas de produção de bovinos de corte na região do Pampa do Rio Grande do Sul. Foram analisadas quatro propriedades rurais pertencentes a uma empresa agropecuária, localizadas no município de Dom Pedrito, e denominadas como Sistema de Cria em Campo Nativo (SCN), Sistema de Cria com Agricultura (SCA), Sistema de Recria-Terminação (SRT) e o Sistema de Terminação (ST). Para avaliar o efeito da escala de produção sobre a eficiência da atividade, foi simulado um quinto sistema, denominado SIA (Sistema de Integração de Atividades), integrando todas as propriedades da empresa, por meio do somatório dos parâmetros físicos e econômicos dos quatro sistemas independentes. Posteriormente, foram gerados índices técnicos e financeiros para realizar a análise do SIA. A maior produtividade foi alcançada pela unidade SRT, seguida da unidade ST, com 296 e 98 kg.ha-1, respectivamente. Os sistemas SIA, SCN e SCA foram os menos produtivos dos cinco avaliados, com 88, 86 e 83 kg.ha-1, respectivamente. Entretanto, o SCN foi mais eficiente em termos econômicos que os demais sistemas. O custo de oportunidade e a mão de obra foram os itens que mais oneraram os sistemas de SCN, SCA e SIA, com 38,8 e 23,6%, 42,9 e 27,3% e 40,7 e 26,6%, respectivamente, enquanto que nos SRT e ST foi a aquisição de animais com 61,7 e 71,5%, respectivamente. Os resultados positivos de margem líquida dos sistemas SCN (0,96 R$.kg-1) e SRT (0,93 R$.kg-1) foram responsáveis pela viabilidade econômica do sistema simulado, que apresentou margem líquida de 0,04 R$.kg-1. O efeito na escala de produção demonstrou ser positivo entre os sistemas, pois houve diluição nos custos fixos de produção no sistema simulado. / This study contextualizes the importance of determining the technical and financial viability of beef cattle production systems through the application of technical and economic analysis. The aim of study was to evaluate the productive and economic analysis of a beef cattle production in the Pampa region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data were collected from four properties from the same farming company, located in Dom Pedrito, RS. Production systems were defined as Cow-Calf System in Nature Pasture (CCNP), Cow- Calf in System and Agriculture (CCA), Rearing-Fattening System (RFS) and Fattening System (FS). We also simulated an additional system to evaluate the effect of production scale in the activity efficiency defined as Integration Activities System (IAS) that integrates all company farms. The IAS comprises the physical and economic parameters from four independent properties. The RFS farm had the highest productivity, with 296 kg.ha-1, followed by FS, IAS, CCNP and CCA. The RFS farm had the highest productivity, with 296 kg.ha-1, followed by FS, IAS, CCNP and CSA, with 98, 88, 86 e 83 kg.ha-1, respectively. The RFS showed highest productive and the CCNP demonstrated the highest economic results. The costs of opportunity and labour were higher for CCNP, CSA and IAS compared to RFS and FS, which have the animal’s acquisition as their main costs of production. The positives economic results of CCNP (0.96 R$.kg) and RFS (0.93 R$.kg-1) farms showed where responsible to economic viability of simulated system, that presented positive net margin (0.04 R$.kg-1). The effect on production scale was positive between systems by the attenuated on production fixed costs in the simulated system.

Estudo dos receptores de retinol e do processo de EMT em carcinoma espinocelular de cabeça e pescoço : modelo PDX em camundongos Balb/c nude

Jesus, Luciano Henrique de January 2017 (has links)
Introdução: O carcinoma espinocelular (CEC) representa 7% de todos os novos casos de câncer no mundo, sendo o carcinoma espinocelular o tipo mais frequente. Tanto o comportamento biológico quanto o crescimento dos tumores devem ser melhores entendidos, uma vez que a sobrevida dos pacientes apresentou discreta melhora nas últimas décadas. Os modelos PDX foram desenvolvidos para estudar a biologia tumoral e principalmente os mecanismos de crescimento e proliferação através da manutenção da arquitetura e microambiente tumoral do tumor original. Os retinóides possuem a capacidade de restaurar o crescimento e a diferenciação de células normais através da ação dos receptores retinóides nucleares (RARs e RXRs) que são os principais mediadores destas ações que ao sofrerem alterações na sua expressão podem levar ao desenvolvimento e manutenção de tumores. No estudo da carcinogênese o modelo PDX é uma importante ferramenta pois mantém a arquitetura e microambiente do tumor original melhorando a compreensão de algumas vias, entre estas o processo de EMT/MET, na diferenciação das células tronco tumorais e quais receptores nucleares podem estar influenciando nestas vias. Objetivos: Analisar os padrões de comportamento biológico - tempo de formação e expansão do tumor e a manutenção dos padrões histológicos e de arquitetura do tumor original - em F0 e F1 no modelo PDX (xenoenxerto derivado de paciente) das amostras de centro de tumor e epitélio adjacente em camundongos Balb C/nude e avaliar a expressão gênica dos receptores retinóides, ALDH1 e marcadores do processo de EMT/MET por RT-PCR em PDX de carcinoma espinocelular oral em comparação com a amostra dos pacientes doadores nas passagens F(0) e F(1). Método: 24 camundongos Balb C/Nude, divididos em 2 grupos TG(I) – tumor graft paciente (I) e TG(II) – tumor graft paciente (II), subdivididos em 4 grupos de 3 animais: (A) – receberam PDX do centro do tumor; (B) – receberam PDX de epitélio adjacente ao tumor (margem de segurança cirúrgica); (C) receberam PDX de um animal do grupo (A); (D) receberam PDX de um animal do grupo (B). E Após estas fases, as amostras coletadas serão avaliadas por RT-PCR para comparação das expressões gênicas entre a amostra original (CT e EA) com os PDX´s nas passagens F(0) e F(1). Resultados: formação de tumores em todos os grupos – tanto do PDX de fragmento de centro do tumor quanto do PDX do epitélio adjacente. E A expressão gênica dos parâmetros observados não diferem no tumor original e passagem F(0) significativamente diferentes em F(1) (p<0,05). Conclusões: A técnida do PDX para o CEC é possível de ser realizada em menor tempo com a implantação de apenas um fragmento do tumor. Os tumores resultantes do PDX apresentaram tamanho suficiente para novas passagens, bem como para seu 6 uso em estudos de comportamento biológico das células neoplásicas. Quanto ao epitélio adjacente ao tumor (margem de segurança cirúrgica) constatou-se a presença de células tumorais com potencial de promover o crescimento de tumores devendo portanto ser melhor observada nas ressecções. O PDX de primeira passagem F(0) é o que mais se assemelha com o tumor original sendo o melhor para testes terapêuticos e estudos da carcinogênese do CEC oral. Keywords: CECP, modelo PDX, xenoenxerto, margem de segurança cirúrgica, , receptores retinóides, microdissecção a laser. / Introduction: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) represents 7% of all new cases of cancer in the world, with squamous cell carcinoma being the most frequent type. Both the biological behavior and the growth of the patients should be better understood, since the patients' survival show unobtrusive improvement in the last decades. PDX models were developed to study a tumor biology and especially the mechanisms of growth and proliferation through maintenance of the architecture and tumor microenvironment of the original tumor. Retinoids have a capacity to restore normal cell growth and differentiation through the action of nuclear retinoid receptors (RARs and RXRs) that are the main mediators and maintenance actions of tumors. In the study of carcinogenesis, the PDX model is an important tool because it maintains an architecture and microenvironment of the original tumor, improving an understanding of some pathways, among them in the EMT / MET process, the difference in tumor stem cells and which nuclear receptors may be influencing these routes. Objectives: To analyze changes in methodology and patterns of biological behavior - time of tumor formation and expansion and maintenance of histological and architectural patterns of the original tumor - in F0 and F1 without PDX model (patient derived xenograft) tumor and adjacent epithelium in Balb C / nude mice and to evaluate the gene expression of retinoid receptors, ALDH1 and EMT / MET process markers by RT-PCR in PDX of oral squamous cell carcinoma compared to a sample of donor patients in F ( 0) and F (1). Method: 24 Balb C / Nude mice, divided into 2 groups TG (I) - patient tumor graft (I) and TG (II) - patient tumor graft (II) subdivided into 4 groups of 3 animals: (A) - received PDX from the center of the tumor; (B) - received epithelial PDX adjacent to the tumor (surgical margin of safety); (C) received PDX from one animal of group (A); (D) received PDX from one animal of group (B). E After these phases, as samples collected for RT-PCR evaluation for comparison of gene expressions between an original sample (CT and EA) with F passages of PDX F (0) and F (1). Results: tumor formation in all groups - both the PDX of the tumor center fragment and the PDX of the adjacent epithelium. E The gene expression of the observed parameters did not differ without original tumor and F (0) differential passage in F (1) (p <0.05). Conclusions: The PDX technique for CPB is possible to be performed in a shorter time with a tumor fragment implantation. Tumors resulting from PDX presented the solution for new passages, as well as for their use in studies of the biological behavior of neoplastic cells. As for the epithelium adjacent to the tumor (surgical margin of safety), a presence of tumor cells with the potential to promote the growth of tumors has been observed and should therefore be better observed in the resections. The first pass PDX F (0) is the one that most closely resembles the 8 original tumor being the best for therapeutic tests and studies of oral SCC carcinogenesis.

Avaliação da qualidade de margem de preparos cavitários realizados com diferentes técnicas e instrumentos / Margin quality of cavity preparations with different techniques and instruments

Francischone, Ana Carolina 11 September 2009 (has links)
Há mais de 50 anos, a Odontologia usa a mesma tecnologia para a preparação de cavidades, que é a alta velocidade com ponta diamantada e brocas carbides. Novos estudos e novas técnicas têm sido proporcionada para que haja uma opção a mais para esse procedimento no tratamento para os pacientes. Surgiram, então, novas tecnologias no mercado odontológico para eliminação mecânica da cárie e preparação de cavidades, como alta pressão de ar associado a jato de areia, aparelho de Laser, contra- ângulo multiplicador e ultrassom associado a pontas diamantadas. Mas por serem tecnologias novas, há ainda necessidade de pesquisas para a constatação de que realmente poderão vir a ser técnicas alternativas ou até substituir a tecnologia clássica que vem sendo utilizada com bons resultados. Assim, o propósito desta pesquisa foi avaliar, através de microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), as margens cavitárias com e sem acabamento, realizadas com pontas diamantadas e CVDentus, associadas a diferentes tipos de dispositivos e mecanismo de ação. Os resultados encontrados mostraram não haver diferenças estatisticamente significantes (p<0.05) entre as condições testadas, nas comparações individuais, com exceção dos grupos G4 x G7 (Alta velocidade+ Ponta Diamantada Preparo + Baixa Rotação + Ponta Diamantada para acabamento x Ultrassom + CVDentus Preparo 50% + Contra-ângulo). Concluiu-se que todas as formas de acabamento das margens cavitárias, testadas nesta pesquisa, são confiáveis e podem ser utilizadas. O uso do aparelho de ultrassom deve ser recomendado nas potências variando entre 50% a 75% para preparos cavitários. / For more than 40 years, dentistry has used the same technology for cavity preparation, high-speed rotation systems with diamond burs. New studies and techniques have been performed to develop a new treatment option for patients. Thus, new technologies have been possible such as high pressure sandblasting systems, laser devices, multiplying low-speed rotation, and finally, the ultra-sound with diamond burs. However, whether these new technologies can be an alternative or substitute for old practices with standard results is not known. The aim of this study was to evaluate by SEM cavity preparation margins with and without finishing, made by diamond burs and the CVDentus system associated to different devices and action forms. The results showed no statistically significant differences (p<.05) among the tested conditions on individual comparisons, except for GIV x GVII (highspeed rotation plus diamond bur + low-speed rotation plus diamond finishing bur x ultra-sound plus CVDentus 50% power plus low-speed rotation). It was concluded that all finishing modes on margin cavities are reliable and can be used in clinical practice. The use of the ultra-sound device can be recommended within 50-75% power for cavity preparations.

Distribution des faunes vivantes, mortes et fossiles de foraminifères benthiques sur la marge portugaise : impact des apports fluviatiles et de la qualité de la matière organique / Living, dead and fossil benthic foraminiferal distribution from the Portuguese margin : impact of fluvial exports and organic matter quality

Dessandier, Pierre-Antoine 11 December 2015 (has links)
La marge ibérique est un milieu biologiquement productif régit par l'influence d'un upwelling saisonnier et des apports continentaux. Les foraminifères benthiques sont des protistes matins qui présentent une grande sensibilité aux conditions environnementales. Ils apparaissent ainsi comme des bio-indicateurs particulièrement efficaces dans ce type de contexte. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, les faunes de foraminifères benthiques, vivants, morts et fossiles prélevées sur un total de 23 carottes interfaces et deux carottes et deux carottes piston, essentiellement situées au débouché de quatre feluves ouest-ibériques majeurs (Douro, Mondego, Tage et Sado) ont été étudiés.Cette analyse faunistique, conjointe à des mesures sédimentaires et géochimiques a permis d'identifier l'impact de la qualité de la matière organique, et donc des apports fluviatiles sur la distribution des faunes vivantes en période hivernale. La comparaison des faunes mortes et vivantes sur les premiers centimètres de sédiments illustre la variation saisonnière de la réponse faunistique à l'upwelling et aux apports continentaux. Elle met également en évidence l'impact des processus taphonomiques sur la conservation de ces bio-indicateurs en vue de permettre une meilleure compréhension du signal fossile de ces faunes. L'application paléoenvironnementale de ces bio-indicateurs a été menée sur une carotte longue prélevée au large du Tage qui permet une reconstruction des derniers 5700 ans cal. BP. Elle a permis de mettre en évidence des périodes caractérisées par des apports importants de matière organique issus du fleuve ainsi que des variations de l'intensité de l'upwelling. / The Iberian Margin is a highly productive system driven by coastal upwelling and river inputs. Benthic foraminifera are marine protists particularly sensitive to environmental conditions. Hence they appear well suited bio-indicators for such environment. In the framework of this thesis, living, dead and fossil benthic foraminifera were analized on 23 surface sediment cores and two piston cores essentially from locations off the major rivers of the Portuguese Coast (Douro, Mondego, Tagus and Sado). This faunal analysis, combined with sedimentary and geochemical measurements allow thhe identification of the impact of fluvial exports and organic matter quality during the late winter period. The comparison of dead and living communities, on the first few centimeters of the sediment, shows the seasonal variation of faunas controlled by upwelling activity and riverine discharges intensity. The impact of taphonomical processes on the preservation of these bio-indicators is also investigated in the perspective of a better understanding ofthe fossil signal of these faunas. The paleoenvironmental application of these bio-indicators was then conducted on a 10 m long core from the Tagus shelf that allows paleoreconstruction for the last 5,700 cal. yr BP. The fossil benthic foraminifera record shows that some periods were characterized by intense river runoff and others by variable intensity of the seasonal upwelling.

Optimalizace skladových zásob hotových výrobků v LASSELSBERGER, s.r.o. / Optimization of inventory of finished products in LASSELSBERGER Ltd.

Blažíček, Martin January 2011 (has links)
The thesis deals with minimizing of the inventory of finished products in the ceramic industry. To reduce inventory the ABC and XYZ analysis was used for the sorting of products into the groups and particular ways were suggested to reduce inventories of finished products. In the theoretical part are described the theoretical assumptions for inventory management issues such as costs, demand, or different methods of inventory management. Then the technological process of production of ceramic tiles follows. In the practical part, entire knowledge of the theory is applied to the problems of ceramic tiles production in LASSELSBERGER, Ltd. It concerns specifically about 1284 products analyzed by using ABC and XYZ methods. Proposed methods and their effect on saving of storage space (storage space saving) were compared afterwards. The result of the work is a comprehensive product portfolio analysis of LASSELSBERGER, Ltd. indicating to company management, which economy measures will ensure the highest costs saving.
