A análise parte do debate sobre a mudança de status do texto ao longo do século XX, considerando o duplo movimento de emancipação do texto e da cena em relação à tutela do gênero dramático, o que configura novas possibilidades de escrita e encenação mais permissíveis entre si. Com base nas referências teóricas cotejadas no primeiro capítulo, cria-se uma grade de análise para o exame das dramaturgias selecionadas, com o objetivo de posicioná-las, no terceiro capítulo, entre dois polos: mythos e opsis – e posteriormente serem consideradas polaridades recorrentes entre dispositivos dramatúrgicos encontrados nos textos. O corpus desta dissertação, analisado no segundo capítulo, é composto por textos de autores vencedores do Prêmio Shell de Teatro em São Paulo na categoria de Melhor Autor no período de onze anos – até o início desta pesquisa. Este recorte é retomado no final do terceiro capítulo com o objetivo de estabelecer conexões entre o processo de legitimação de bens culturais por instâncias de consagração, segundo a conceituação do sociólogo Pierre Bourdieu, e as estruturas dramatúrgicas analisadas, pensando sobre os desdobramentos entre teoria e prática na contemporaneidade, bem como sobre a função do autor e da noção de autoria no contexto do novo status do texto teatral – e do lugar do dramaturgo – no processo de criação. / The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze texts written by contemporary playwrights from the city of São Paulo, between the years of 2005 to 2015, considering a relationship between text and the scene within the dramaturgies, identifying and reflecting on a presence of incorporated elements of a scenic grammar that evoke materialities in its textual structures. The analysis starts from the debate about the change in the state of the text throughout the twentieth century, considering the double movement of emancipation of the text and the scene in relation to the tutelage of the dramatic genre, which sets up new possibilities of writing and staging more permissible among themselves. Based on theoretical references in the first chapter, an analysis evaluation is created for the examination of selected dramaturgies, with the aim of positioning, in the third chapter, between two poles: mythos and opsis - and later considered recurrent polarities between devices found in the texts. The corpus of this dissertation, analyzed in the second chapter, is composed of texts by authors who won the Shell Prize of Theater in São Paulo in the category of Best Author in the period of eleven years - until the beginning of the research. This methodological cut is resumed at the end of the third chapter with the aim of establishing connections between the process of legitimation of cultural goods by instances of consecration, according to a conception of the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, and the dramaturgical structures analyzed, on the unfolding between theory and practice in contemporaneity, as well as on the function of the author and the notion of authorship, in the context of the new state of the theatrical text - and in the place of the playwright - in the process of creation.

Among the methods of treatment, heterogeneous catalysis stands out due to its high efficiency. The most used photocatalyst is TiO2. The combination of this material with other ones has been employed to improve its activity and/or its performance. Several systems have been tested, including the core-shell that constitutes a complete coverage of one material by another. In this work, TiO2@CoFe2O4 was synthesized by the modified-Pechini method with the addition of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles into the polymeric resin containing titanium. A magnetic material was obtained, which was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), ultraviolet - visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), specific surface area by the BET method. The materials were applied in the photodiscoloration of an azo dye. The pure TiO2 calcined at 700 °C showed a mixture of phases anatase / rutile in the proportions 77/23%, which was the calcination temperature which led to the highest photocatalytic activity in the discoloration of the solution yellow gold remazol (RNL). A discoloration of 81% in color of the solution was attained after 6 h of exposure to UV light, while 94% was reached after 2 h of irradiation with sunlight. With the core@shell system CoFe2O4@TiO2 synthesized with 90 % of TiO2, a mixture of anatase and rutile of 92 : 8% was obtained for a calcination temperature of 500 °C. This material showed 76% discoloration after 16 h of exposure to UV light under the same conditions used for the test with pure TiO2 / A necessidade do controle de efluentes têxteis devido à contaminação de águas fluviais tem levado órgãos como o CONAMA a regulamentar e exigir um processo de tratamento mais eficiente. Dentre os métodos de tratamento estudados, os Processos Oxidativos Avançados (POA) têm demonstrado grande eficiência, como na fotocatálise heterogênea utilizando materiais semicondutores, sendo o TiO2 um dos mais empregados. A combinação deste material com outros tem sido estudada com o objetivo de melhorar a atividade e/ou performance do mesmo. Para isso vários sistemas têm sido utilizados, dentre eles o core@shell, que consiste na completa cobertura de um material por outro. Neste trabalho o CoFe2O4@TiO2 foi sintetizado pelo método Pechini modificado, com a adição do CoFe2O4 nanoparticulado à uma resina polimérica de titânio, sendo obtido um material magnético, o qual foi caracterizado por difração de raios X (DRX), espectroscopia infravermelho (IV), espectroscopia na região ultravioleta e visível (UV-Vis), análise de área superficial específica pelo método de BET. Os materiais foram testados na fotodegradação de um corante azo. O TiO2 puro calcinado a 700 ºC, apresentou mistura de fases anatase / rutilo com proporção 77 / 23 %, sendo a temperatura de calcinação que levou à maior atividade fotocatalítica na descoloração da solução de amarelo ouro remazol (RNL). Foi obtida 81 % de redução da cor da solução em 6 h de exposição a luz UV e 94 % após 2 h com irradiação de luz solar. Com o sistema core@shell CoFe2O4@TiO2 sintetizado com 90 % de TiO2 foi obtida uma mistura de 92 % de anatase e 8 % de rutilo, para uma temperatura de calcinação de 500 ºC. Este material levou a 76 % de descoloração em 16 h de exposição à luz UV com as mesmas condições utilizadas para o teste com o TiO2 puro

Atualmente, as nanopartículas superparamagnéticas despertam enorme interesse científico devido sua grande variedade de aplicações em biomedicina, tanto na área de diagnóstico quanto no tratamento de enfermidades. Embora muitos materiais vem sendo estudados, os óxidos de ferro (magnetita e maghemita) apresentam maiores avanços nos estudos para aplicações em medicina. A preferência por óxidos de ferro se deve a baixa toxicidade destas partículas quando comparado as nanopartículas metálicas ou ligas. Entretanto, as nanopartículas destes óxidos possuem baixas magnetizações de saturação que diminuem ainda mais com as sucessivas etapas de recobrimento necessárias para conferir funcionalidade a estas partículas. Desse modo, há uma necessidade atual para o desenvolvimento de nanopartículas superparamagnéticas com elevada magnetização, baixa toxicidade e maior facilidade de funcionalização da sua superfície com biopolímeros e agentes funcionalizantes. Neste trabalho, nanopartículas superparamagnéticas de cobalto metálico e ferrita de cobalto foram sintetizadas e suas propriedades magnéticas foram comparadas com a magnetita. Nanopartículas de cobalto foram escolhidas, pois seu elevado comportamento ferromagnético é menor apenas que o ferro metálico, além do baixo custo de seus reagentes. As nanopartículas magnéticas foram sintetizadas pelos métodos de microemulsão e decomposição térmica (baseado no método poliol) e suas composições química, estrutural, tamanho e distribuição de tamanho foram devidamente determinadas. Além disso, as nanopartículas de cobalto metálico e ferrita de cobalto foram recobertas com ouro utilizando o método de crescimento mediado por semente. Os sistemas microemulsionados utilizados neste trabalho não foram eficientes nem na síntese de nanopartículas estáveis de cobalto metálico nem no seu esperado controle morfológico. Já o método de decomposição térmica resultou em um rigoroso controle de composição química, estrutural e morfológico para as diferentes nanopartículas sintetizadas. O recobrimento com ouro foi efetivo na proteção do núcleo magnético e adicionalmente conferiu estabilidade, baixa toxicidade e bifuncionalidade às nanopartículas magnéticas através do seu fenômeno de ressonância plasmônica de superfície o qual foi preservado na nanoestrutura core@shell. O comportamento superparamagnético das nanopartículas de cobalto metálico recobertas com ouro e sua elevada magnetização de saturação foram expressivamente intensificadas quando comparadas as nanopartículas de magnetita sem recobrimento. Portanto, as nanopartículas sintetizadas neste trabalho apresentam propriedades de superfície e magnéticas otimizadas demonstrando um bom potencial para aplicações em biomedicina como sensores bifuncionais óptico-magnético. / Superparamagnetic nanoparticles have been extensively studied because its wide range of biomedical applications in both diagnostic and therapy areas. Although different materials are currently investigated, superparamagnetic iron oxides nanoparticles (SPION), magnetite and maghemite, are the most extensively studied for applications in medicine. The lower toxicity profile of the SPION becomes the most attractive than metal or alloys nanoparticles. Nevertheless, iron oxides nanoparticles have low saturation magnetization, which further decreases due to successive coats to provide their functionality, leading the actual demand to develop superparamagnetic nanoparticles with high magnetization, low toxicity and easy surface functionalization with biocompatible agents. In this work, superparamagnetic nanoparticles of metallic cobalt and cobalt ferrite were synthesized and their magnetic properties were compared with the magnetite SPION. Cobalt nanoparticles were chosen because present high ferromagnetic behavior among chemical elements, second only to iron, besides their low cost. The magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by both microemulsion and thermal decomposition (based on the polyol process) methods and their chemical composition, structure, size and size distribution were properly characterized. In addition, the ferrite and metallic cobalt nanoparticles were coated with gold by using the seed-mediated growth method. The used microemulsion systems were not efficient enough to synthesize stable metallic nanoparticles and to promote the expected morphological control even to ferrites. Instead, the thermal decomposition processes resulted in rigorous control of chemical compositional, structure and morphology in all different prepared samples. Au-coating process was effective to protect the magnetic nuclei also giving additional stability, low toxicity and a bifunctionality to the magnetic nanoparticle since their surface plasmon resonance phenomenon was preserved in the core@shell nanostructure. The superparamagnetic behavior of the Au-coated cobalt nanoparticle was preserved and their saturation magnetization was significantly increased compared with the naked magnetite SPION. In conclusion, the synthesized nanoparticles present enhanced magnetic and surface properties showing good potential to be used in biomedical application as bifunctional optical-magnetic sensor.

Detta projekt har haft som fokus att skapa ett system där användare med hjälp av SSH ska kunna logga in på en server och utföra konfigurationer på switchar och routrar med olika krav såsom att enbart en användare får vara inloggad i systemet åt gången. För att uppnå målen och kraven så användes ett par olika skript med språk såsom shell, bash, perl och expect. Resultatet visar en färdig produkt och att detta projekt var genomförbart. Lösningsförslaget finns presenterat i form av ett flödesschema och sedan vanlig text. Slutligen presenteras och diskuteras även andra alternativa lösningar. / The projects main focus have been to create a system mainly for the users that study network technology on a more advanced level. In order for the students to start to configure the switches and routers they need to access a server with the SSH protocol which was one of the requirements. Another requirement was that only one user should be able to configure at same time (so two users should NOT be able to configure the switches and routers at the same time). The scripting languages that was used was bash, shell, perl and expect in order to achieve these goals and requirement. The result shows a finished product and that this project was feasable. The solution is presented as a flowchart as an overview and some regular text that explains the scripts in more depth. There are of course a ton of other ways to solve this problem and a few of them are presented and discussed in the later chapters.

Mollusk shells contain proteins within and between the crystals of calcium carbonate. These organic molecules play an important role in biomineralization and shell function, and their stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen are also thought to record important ecological information about the animal's diet and nutrient sources. These proteins can be preserved for millions of years, offering potential insight into pre-anthropogenic ecological conditions. However, shell organics in older shells are typically recovered in reduced abundances due to leaching and remaining organics are often converted from insoluble proteins to soluble, free amino acids, making them difficult to detect and recover. Therefore, demineralization and organics-capture methods must be optimized for yield to extract much-needed ecological information from older shells. This project compared insoluble and soluble organic yields of modern gastropod Strombus alatus shells demineralized with acids of varying concentrations and temperatures. Results suggested that demineralizing shell fragments with 0.1 M HCl at a ratio of 0.9 L HCl/g of shell was optimal. Average percent organic yields ~0.2% for modern and ~0.06% for fossil Strombus spp. Future applications of this work include using this refined method to reconstruct food webs across broad temporal scales.

Within this thesis, thin walled shell structures are discussed with modern element formulationsin the context of the Isogeometric Analysis (IGA). IGA was designed to achieve a directinterface from CAD to analysis. According to the concept of IGA, Non-Uniform RationalB-Splines (NURBS) are used as shape functions in the design and the analysis. Dependingon the polynomial order, NURBS can come along with a high order continuity. Therefore,the curvature of a shell surface can be described directly by the shape function derivativeswhich is not possible within the classical Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using linear meshes.This description of the curvature gives rise to the application of the Kirchho-Love shellformulation, which describes the curvature stiness with the dierentiation of the spatialdegrees of freedom. Based upon this, the formulation can be enhanced with further kinematicalexpressions as the shear dierence vector, which leads to a 5-parameter Reissner-Mindlinformulation. This kinematic formulation is intrinsically free from transverse shear lockingdue to the split into Kirchho-Love and additional shear contributions. The formulation canbe further extended to a 7-parameter three-dimensional shell element, which considers volumetriceects in the thickness direction. Two additional parameters are engaged to describethe related thickness changes under load and to enable the use of three-dimensional materiallaws. In general, three-dimensional shell elements suer from curvature thickness and Poisson'sthickness locking. However, these locking phenomena are intrinsically avoided by thehierarchic application of the shear dierence vector and the 7th parameter respectively. The3-parameter Kirchho-Love, the 5-parameter Reissner-Mindlin and the 7-parameter 3D shellelement build a hierarchic family of model-adaptive shells.This hierarchic family of shell elements is presented and discussed in the scope of this thesis.The concept and the properties of the single elements are elaborated and the dierences arediscussed. Geometrically linear and non-linear benchmark examples are simulated. Convergencestudies are performed and the results are validated against analytical solutionsand solutions from literature, taking into account deections and internal forces. Furthermore,the dierent locking phenomena which occur in analyses with shell formulations areexamined. Several test cases are designed to ensure a validated implementation of the hierarchicshell elements. The element formulations and further pre- and postprocessing featuresare implemented and validated within the open-source software environment Kratos Multi-physics.

<p> Some aspects of the nucleon-nucleon interaction are investigated. Phase-equivalent families of rank-two separable potentials are derived by inverting the on- shell phaseshifts. The off-shell properties of these potentials are examined and shown to be well behaved. These and additiona l pairs of phase-equivalent local and separable potentials are included in a proton-proton bremsstrahlung calculation. In particular, the off-shell dependence of the cross sections is shown to be small. </p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The relative fission yields of the isotopes of krypton and xenon have been determined mass spectrometrically. Abnormal fission yields, resulting in fine structure in the mass fission yield curve, have been found in both mass ranges. A shift of the fine structure to lower masses has been observed in going from U^235 + n fission to U^238 + n fission. From this shift in fine structure, it has been possible to determine the proportion of U^235 and U^236 neutron fission that have occurred in the sample. Evidence is presented to show that the observed fine structure and the shift in this fine structure is the result of a combination of two effects involved the extra stability of closed neutron shells of 50 and 82 neutrons which fall in the Kr and Xe ranges respectively. The capture of thermal neutrons by Xe^135, which modifies the fission yields in the 135 and 136 mass chains, has been studied so that the observed fission yields at these masses may be suitably corrected. Finally, the branching ratio between the isomeric states of Kr^85 and the half-life of the long-lived isomer have been re-determined and found to be 0.29 and 10.27 ± 0.18 yrs. respectively. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
