O trabalho em questão investiga o conceito de estrutura enquanto representação icônica de idéias simples e complexas (na forma dos elementos das histórias em quadrinhos) e sua ocorrência em cartilhas de treinamento vertidas nessa linguagem gráfica. A pesquisa busca elucidar se haveria na linguagem dos quadrinhos um conjunto de unidades visuais mínimas de significação cujo caráter universal permitiria uma decifração intuitiva dos seus códigos, tornando a comunicação das cartilhas de treinamento mais eficaz. O referencial teórico se baseia nas perspectivas das ciências da linguagem (lingüística, Semiótica e Semiologia visual), das teorias da comunicação, da teoria do design e das ciências humanas aplicadas. O objeto deste estudo é uma cartilha de treinamento sobre coleta seletiva e consciência ambiental, elaborada no formato de histórias em quadrinhos e destinada principalmente a trabalhadores operacionais, mas também às suas famílias e sociedade em geral. O estudo concluiu que apesar da existência de um conjunto de signos icônicos elementares e universais, às vezes a operação desses signos depende da sua articulação com outros signos mais complexos e do auxílio do texto verbal para maior precisão, além da posse de certo repertório prévio. / The present work refers to the study of the concept of structure while the iconic representation of ideas, simple and complex, (by the visual elements of comics) and their presence in training manuals turned into this graphic language. The research seeks to confirm if there is such kind of thing as a set of minimal units of signification in comics which universal features would allow intuitive interpretation of its codes, making communication via manuals more efficacious. The theorical reference is based upon the perspectives of sciences of language (linguistics, semiotics and visual semiology), the theories of communication, design theory and on applied human sciences. The object of this study is a training manual about environmental education and recycling published as a comic book and planned for the use of operational employees but also for their families and community. The study has concluded that, although the existence of a collection of elementary and universal iconic signs, sometimes handling this signs depends on the articulation with more complex signs and on the help of verbal text for means of higher precision, besides the possession of a certain previous background.

The project is a seven chapter laboratory manual-text covering the topic of D.C. network analysis. It is individualized in nature and it is based on the retrogressive chain. The chapters cover Kirchoff's law, Branch Current Analysis, Mesh Analysis, Nodal Analysis, Thevenin's Theorm, Norton's Theorm, and Superposition Theorm. Each chapter has five sections. They are: (1) a list of behavioral objectives, (2) a presentation of the pertinent information, (3) a number of typical problems with answers, (4) a list of additional resources and, (5) the laboratory procedure.

Introduction: The Office of Arid Lands Studies (OALS), the Water Resources Research Center (WRRC), of the University of Arizona, and the Arizona Water Commission (AWC) have developed a generalized data storage and retrieval system on the DEC-10 computer system at the University of Arizona for systematic reporting of water information (quality and quantity) within the State of Arizona. The objective of the on-line system is to expand the AWC's efficiency in answering routine questions regarding Arizona's water resources easily and on short notice through remote terminal access to hydrologic information. Currently, two files reside on AWIS whereby water-related information can be extracted for the entire State on either quarter- township basis or regionally by drainage basin. AWC is given authority to "collect and investigate information upon and prepare and devise means and plans for the development, conservation, and utilization of all waterways, watersheds, subterranean waters, groundwater basins and water resources in the State. . ." To this end, AWC is developing a State Water Plan, and the data residing on the two files in AWLS are part of the Plan's first phase--an inventory of the resource, current uses and associated problems as presented in Arizona Water Commission Report "Arizona State Water Plan, Inventory of Resources and Uses, Phase I, July, 1975."
