This work aims to contribute to the coastal ordering considering the integration process of the usage and occupation planning policies of the shore, and the sustainable development principles studied through field research, questionnaires, bibliographical surveys, iconographical registrations, and organization and reading of the official cartography of the state and municipality. Based on these elements, the Shore Project promotes the integrated management of the seashore within the union real-estate areas, through its conservation, ordered occupation of their spaces, and usage of the environmental resources through the partnership of the three government levels and the civil society. / A ocupação desordenada da orla marítima tem provocado conflitos de uso e de degradação ambiental tendo como causas o desconhecimento dos bens públicos e dos seus recursos ambientais, como também a falta de integração entre os setores governamentais e a sociedade. Este trabalho contribuiu para o ordenamento costeiro, considerando a complexidade nos processos de integração das políticas de planejamento e de uso e ocupação da orla, tendo como fundamentos básicos metodológicos os princípios do desenvolvimento sustentável. Foram realizados estudos relacionados com uma ampla revisão bibliográfica sobre planejamento e gestão da zona costeira, aliados a pesquisa de campo, aplicação de questionários, registros iconográficos e da organização e leitura cartográfica oficial do estado e município. Com base nestes elementos, apresentou-se uma proposição crítica do Projeto Orla, contribuindo para promover e efetivar a gestão integrada da orla marítima nas áreas do patrimônio da união. Evidenciou-se, como recomendações finais, a necessidade de ampla participação social nas propostas e programas de conservação da paisagem costeira, da ocupação ordenada dos seus espaços e do uso dos recursos ambientais mediante a parceria com os três níveis de governo.

Correntes perpendiculares à costa ao Norte da Plataforma Continental Sudeste Brasileira / Cross-shore currents over the northen region of Brazil south bight

Acmon Francisco Pedrosa Bhering 16 December 2015 (has links)
A componente perpendicular à costa das correntes nas plataformas continentais é comumente menos intensa e energética do que a componente paralela. Entretanto, elas são importantes no contexto da circulação normal à costa e da troca de água entre plataformas continentais e oceano aberto. Este trabalho teve por finalidade compreender o comportamento das correntes perpendiculares à costa na parte setentrional da Plataforma Continental Sudeste Brasileira (PCSE). Para tal, utilizou-se quatro anos de dados de correntometria do projeto DEPROAS em fundeios de 50, 100 e 200 metros de profundidades nas radiais de Cabo Frio, Ubatuba e Baia de Guanabara para diversas análises e procedimentos estatísticos, assim como experimentos numéricos utilizando-se o modelo computacional sECOM. Esses dados foram comparados com parâmetros adimensionais (número de Burger) afim de descrever os principais padrões de resposta dessas correntes às diversas condições nos espectros temporais e espaciais. O número de Burger (S) é um bom parâmetro para descrever o a dinâmica perpendicular na PCSE. Regiões com S próximo ou maior do que um (principalmente próximas ao talude) transportam água, para a plataforma principalmente acima da camada de fundo, devido ao rápido desligamento da camada de Ekman (períodos menores do que os subinerciais). Consequentemente, nas regiões dos fundeios das isóbatas de 200 metros, registrou-se a exportação de água da plataforma para o oceano aberto próximo ao fundo associados à maré diurna. / The cross-shore current on continental shelves are usually less intense and energetic than the alongshore current. However, they are important in characterizing the cross shelf circulation and the exchange of water between the continental shelf and the open ocean. This paper aims to understand the behavior of cross-shore currents on the northern part of the Southeast Brazilian Continental Shelf. It was used four years of current data from DEPROAS project\'s moorings (50, 100 and 200 meters depths) from cross-sections in Cabo Frio, Ubatuba and Guanabara Bay. Those data were statistically treated and analyzed. In addition, it was conducted numerical experiments with sECOM computational model. Those data were compared with dimensionless parameters (Burger number) in order to describe the main response patterns of them during different temporal and spatial conditions. The Burger number (S) is a good parameter to describe the cross-shelf dynamics in the studied area. When S is near or greater than one (especially near the slope) the water fluxes directed to the platform occurs mainly above the bottom layer due to the rapid shutdown of Ekman layer. Consequently, nearby the 200 meters isobaths, the water is exported to the open ocean near seabed associated with diurnal tide.

Vorhersageverbesserung des Windes im Küstenbereich

Viertel, René, Tetzlaff, Gerd 23 March 2017 (has links) (PDF)
Nachdem der weitere Ausbau der Stromerzeugung aus Windenergie an Land an seine Grenzen stösst, rücken die küstennahen Bereiche der Seegebiete in den Mittelpunkt der Planungen. Aufgrund seiner Komplexität sind die Vorhersagen der relevanten Größen im Zeitbereich bis 48 Stunden in diesen Gebieten oftmals ungenau. Mittels systematischer Vergleiche von Prognosen und Messreihen meteorologischer Größen wurde untersucht, ob sich charakteristische Muster der Abweichung der Windprognose von der Messung in Abhängigkeit meteorologischer Größen und Prognosezeit finden und sich die Abweichungen verringern lassen. / After the further development of the generation of current by wind energy on land areas is pushed to the borders the near-shore areas of the see regions moves into the center of plannings. Because of the complex behavior of such areas the prediction of the required meteorological values often becomes uncertain within the forecast range of 48 hours. Measurements of meteorological values and forecasts were compared systematically. By means of this comparisons it was examined, whether characteristical pattern of the deviation between measurements and forcasts, dependent on other meteorological values and forecast time, can be found. The possibility to reduce this deviations was verified.

Postnatal experiences of North Shore women

Erickson, Debra Lynn 11 1900 (has links)
This study explores and identifies the needs of North Shore women during their postpartum period (0-3 months). In order to compare the perspective of the service users and the professional care givers, data were collected from three groups: new mothers, community health nurses and hospital maternity nurses. Discussions resulting from eight focus group interviews were the primary source of information for this exploratory study. Six groups of mothers, one group of community health nurses and one group of hospital nurses participated in the focus group discussions. The total number of participants were thirty-three mothers, eight community health nurses and six hospital nurses. Content analysis of the qualitative data identified three themes: 1) lack of knowledge, 2) role confusion and/or role redefinition, and 3) lifestyle adjustments. Each theme was examined within the context of three developmental time periods: the first week, 1 week to 6 weeks, and 6 weeks to three months. The data indicated that women were concerned with six tasks during their postnatal period: breast-feeding, infant care, maternal care, maintaining their spousal relationship, sibling care and household care. The relationship of each task to each theme was considered in each time period. In addition to the themes and tasks identified, the focus groups revealed that assistance and emotional support from spouses, other family members and friends is one of the most important components in the maternal recovery and adjustment process. The overall findings of the study indicate that during their postnatal period the mothers needed information, support and validation to assist them in adapting to their role as parents. The results of this study have implications for health care service providers, agencies and organizations providing services and resources to women and their families, and for the family and friends of new mothers. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

Utveckling av nya produkter hos Ergoston : Ny mångfunktionell silikonprofil med tillhörande klämma för enkel fastsättning på kroppen

Torstensson, Sandra, Olofsson, Ante January 2022 (has links)
Ergostone, fortsättningsvis företaget, producerar idag en produkt som fungerar likt en vetekudde. Produkten innehar en silikonprofil, producerad i Kina tillsammans med silikonkorkar. Profilen fylls sedan med täljstensdamm och försluts med silikonkorken. Den går att värma för värmebehandling eller kyla för kylbehandling. Syftet med denna rapport är att undersöka möjligheterna att utveckla och producera en ny silikonprofil som kan bredda företagets sortiment med en än mer funktionell produkt. Rapporten innehåller även undersökningar om utveckling av ett tillbehör som kan möjliggöra fastsättning av företagets produkter på kroppen. Målet är att leverera ett förslag på en ny silikonprofil som kan produceras i Handöl och ett förslag på en fastsättningsmetod, fortsättningsvis “klämma”, för företagets samtliga produkter. Produktutvecklingen har utförts med olika verktyg såsom brainstorming, branschanalys, intressentanalys m fl. för att komma fram till koncept. För att få ett slutgiltigt koncept användes Pugh elimineringsmatris och av det slutgiltiga konceptet byggdes sedan en prototyp, både på klämma och silikonprofil. Resultatet landade i en produkt gjord av silikonslang som beställs av leverantörer i Sverige och sätts sedan ihop med befintliga korkar av företaget i Handöl. Klämman gjuts i silikon med en ögla för att kunna fästa ett elastiskt band som i sin tur möjliggör fastsättning på kroppen. Arbetet lyckades och ett underlag för att producera en ny mångfunktionell produkt har överlämnats till företaget. / <p>2022-07-01</p>

Towards a Multiscale, Spatially Explicit Analysis of the Littoral Zone Macrobenthos Along the North Shore of Hamilton Harbour / Macrobenthos of Hamilton Harbour

Conrad, Mark Stephen 12 1900 (has links)
Macrobenthos and macrophytes of the north shore littoral zone of Hamilton Harbour were extensively sampled in late August 1994. Benthic community structure is described, including the presence of several oligochaete and chironomid genera previously unreported in the harbour. Community structure is scale dependent and identifying which spatial scales contribute important structure is a useful step in determining which environmental factors have the greatest impact on the benthic community. This information can be used to plan efficient benthos monitoring programs, and to construct spatially explicit models of the harbour ecosystem. Most of the variation in the data set (approx. 88%) is due to small scale patchiness, probably related to patchiness of the macrophyte community and sediment grain size, as well as biotic processes such as predation and competition. Large scale structure is related to a water depth gradient, probably involving changes in dissolved oxygen concentrations, light attenuation, and sediment grain size. Macrophytes also respond to this gradient. There is little important structuring of the benthos community at intermediate spatial scales. Models of benthic communities in the harbour must deal with spatial pattern effects such as autocorrelation. Additionally, spatial patterns provide information useful for understanding causes of community structure. A method is developed for the spatial pattern analysis of the benthic community data, which allows the simultaneous evaluation of patterns at various scales, with minimal mixing of information between scales. / Thesis / Master of Science (MS)

Turbulence structure and momentum exchange in compound channel flows with shore ice covered on the floodplains

Wang, F., Huai, W., Guo, Yakun, Liu, M. 17 March 2021 (has links)
Yes / Ice cover formed on a river surface is a common natural phenomenon during winter season in cold high latitude northern regions. For the ice-covered river with compound cross-section, the interaction of the turbulence caused by the ice cover and the channel bed bottom affects the transverse mass and momentum exchange between the main channel and floodplains. In this study, laboratory experiments are performed to investigate the turbulent flow of a compound channel with shore ice covered on the floodplains. Results show that the shore ice resistance restricts the development of the water flow and creates a relatively strong shear layer near the edge of the ice-covered floodplain. The mean streamwise velocity in the main channel and on the ice-covered floodplains shows an opposite variation pattern along with the longitudinal distance and finally reaches the longitudinal uniformity. The mixing layer bounded by the velocity inflection point consists of two layers that evolve downstream to their respective fully developed states. The velocity inflection point and strong transverse shear near the interface in the fully developed profile generate the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and horizontal coherent vortices. These coherent vortices induce quasi-periodic velocity oscillations, while the dominant frequency of the vortical energy is determined through the power spectral analysis. Subsequently, quadrant analysis is used in ascertaining the mechanism for the lateral momentum exchange, which exhibits the governing contributions of sweeps and ejections within the vortex center. Finally, an eddy viscosity model is presented to investigate the transverse momentum exchange. The presented model is well validated through comparison with measurements, whereas the constants α and β appeared in the model need to be further investigated. / National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).
