Opis:: The triggering of a “dirty bomb” generates a complex scenario, with enormous challenges for the responders due to initial misinformation and the urgency to act quickly yet effectively. Normally, the first 100 h are decisive for perceiving the risk in a more realistic dimension, but the support of methodologies that rely on computational simulations can be valuable when making key decisions. This work seeks to provide support for the early decision-making process by using a Gaussian model for the distribution of a quantity of Cs-137 spread by a radiological dispersive device (RDD). By sequentially joining two independent programs, HotSpot Health Physics codes and RESidual RADiation (RESRAD)-RDD family of codes, we came up with results that suggest a segmented approach to the potentially affected population. These results advocate that (a) the atmospheric stability conditions represented by the Pasquill–Gifford classes and (b) the population subgroups defi ned by radiation exposure conditions strongly influence the postdetonation radiological effects. These variables should be taken into account in the elaboration of flexible strategies that include many climatic conditions and to prioritize attention to different groups of public at risk. During the initial phases of such an event, it is believed that simulations using Gaussian models may be of value in anticipating the possible changes in key variables during the decision-making process. These variables may severely affect the effectiveness of the actions of responders and the general public’s safety.

Opis:: A release of radioactive material into the environment can lead to hazardous exposure of the population and serious future concerns about health issues such as an increased incidence of cancer. In this context, a practical methodology capable of providing useful basic information from the scenario can be valuable for immediate decisions and future risk assessment. For this work, the simulation of a radiological dispersal device (RDD) filled with americium-241 was considered. The radiation dose simulated by the HotSpot code was used as an input to the epidemiological equations from BEIR V producing the data used to assess the risk of lung cancer development. The methodology could be useful in providing training for responders aimed to the initial support addressed to decision-making for emergency response at the early phase of an RDD scenario. The results from the simulation allow estimating (a) the size of the potentially affected population, (b) the type of protection action considering gender and location of the individuals, (c) the absorbed doses, (d) the matrix of lung cancer incidence predictions over a period of 5 years, and (e) the cost-effectiveness in the initial decision environment.

Opis:: The detonation of an (hypothetical) improvised nuclear device (IND) can generate atmospheric release of radioactive material in the form of particles and dust that ultimately contaminate the soil. In this study, the detonation of an IND in an urban area was simulated, and its effects on humans were determined. The risk of solid cancer development due to radiation was calculated by taking into account prompt radiation and whole-body exposure of individuals near the detonation site up to 10 km. The excess relative risk (ERR) of developing solid cancer was evaluated by using the mathematical relationships from the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (RERF) studies and those from the HotSpot code. The methodology consists of using output data obtained from simulations performed with the HotSpot health physics code plugging in such numbers into a specific given equation used by RERF to evaluate the resulting impact. Such a preliminary procedure is expected to facilitate the decision-making process significantly.

Opis:: The union of different devices in order to obtain a specific response for a process is commonly called a control system. For a control system, it is necessary to have one or more controllers. Among the most used in the industrial sector are the PID and PI controllers. Next to these controllers is the control software. Scilab is a good example of control software. It is characterized as free code software, with no cost for its acquisition, in addition to having a large computational power and integrated tools, such as Xcos, intended for modeling and simulation. For the union with Scilab, there is Arduino. Such a mixture can be used, for example, to control liquid levels in tanks. In this context, the present work aims to study the tank-level control system based on PID and PI controllers through the union between Scilab and Arduino. Phenomenological models were developed based on closed-loop control (feedback control system) of the process with two tanks not coupled with recycle. Furthermore, for comparison purposes, two approaches were used for each process: one considering the saturation of the manipulated variable and the other without the presence of such saturation. At first, there was a need to implement an anti-windup system. For tuning the controller parameters, the ISE method was used, executed through a programming code developed in Scilab. The parameters found for the two systems were tested on a made-up experimental bench. Therefore, using the block diagrams and the method here called “ISE method”, satisfactory values were obtained for the control parameters. These were ratified in the tests carried out in the experimental module. Level control was achieved with greater prominence for the PI controller since there is one less parameter to be tuned and processed by the system. This controller provided results close to the PID controller for cycles up to 50%. In general, the PI controller showed maximum response deviations smaller than the PID, such as deviations of 1.55 cm and 2.40 cm, respectively, for the case with 75% recycle. It was also clear the influence of the saturation of the manipulated variable on the system response, but not on the tuning of the controller parameterseters.

Opis:: Przemysł wytwarzania rur stosuje różne metody i techniki ich produkcji, jednak formowanie rur stalowych ze szwem ma największe osiągnięcia na rynku. Podstawowe narzędzie do ich formowania, czyli rolki są tradycyjnie wykonywane ze stali narzędziowych o wysokiej zawartości chromu, na przykład stali narzędziowej D2. Jednak jakość rur nowej generacji wykonywanych ze stali o wyższej wytrzymałości i twardości wymaga zastosowania nowych materiałów przewyższających właściwości mechaniczne stali D2. Zaistniała więc konieczność zmian technologii, przeprojektowania narzędzi, przebadania nowych materiałów i opracowania odpowiedniej obróbki cieplnej, zapewniając im dłuższą żywotność i zmniejszenie przestojów w celu spełnienia oczekiwań produkcyjnych. W niniejszym projekcie zostały przeanalizowane i ocenione najlepsze opcje przedstawione na rynku narzędzi do pracy na zimno w celu zwiększenia żywotności istniejących narzędzi (stal D2). Ocenę przeprowadzono w warunkach laboratoryjnych zbliżonych maksymalnie do parametrów produkcyjnych. Wykorzystano tester do badań tribologicznych (T-05) i wykonano badania dynamiczne (próba Charpy'ego). Wykazano przydatność nowych materiałów i możliwość uzyskania oszczędności.
Industries engaged in roll forming of tubes apply different methodologies and innovating technologies in order to perform this task, but tubes with welded seams are more profitable. The basic tooling used to roll-form tubes, or rolls, are usually made of a tool steel with a high Chromium content, namely, D2 steel. However, in order to produce higher quality tubes of high-strength steels, higher mechanical properties than those shown by D2 steel are required. As a consequence, new technologies, designs, materials, and heat treatments have emerged so the new requirements are met. This has a direct impact on the costs incurred and the productivity of metalmechanic industries. In this project, various cold work steels were analysed and compared with D2 steel, in order to improve the tool life of rolls for roll forming of tubes. Tribological testing was done with a T-05 block-on-ring setup with testing conditions similar to those in real life. Charpy testing was done in order to obtain impact toughness. The obtained results are of great importance, because they may result on significant cost reductions.

Opis:: The Bahia Blanca Estuary includes a large tidal plain with an area close to 1150 km2.Mud is predominant in its sediments, where a significant population of the crab Chasmagnathus granulata lives during the whole year.Mo reover, there are important urban and industrial discharges into this environment. Cd and Pb concentrations were determined in samples of water (for both dissolved and suspended particulate matter) and surface sediments (total and <63 μm fractions).Or ganic matter was analysed in the sediments, while temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen were measured in the estuarine water The metal concentrations determined in this study were: 1.47 ± 1.08 μg Cd g−1 and 14.68 ± 4.31 μg Pb g−1 in surface sediments; 2.21 ± 1.33 μg Cd g−1 and 25.70 ± 7.09 μg Pb g−1 in the <63 μm sediment fraction; 0.18 ± 0.11 μg Cd g−1 and below the analytical detection limit of Pb in suspended particulate matter. Furthermore, dissolved Cd and Pb were lower than the norms for marine and estuarine waters (2 μg dm−3 for Cd and 5 μg dm−3 for Pb, E.P.A.). Simultaneously, the effects of Cd and Pb were studied on recently hatched larvae of Ch. granulata, through 96-hour semi-static acute assays.Via bility was the criterion assessed in the assays.LC 50 (96 h) for Cd was 46.43 μg dm−3 (36.92 − 56.34 μg dm−3), whilst that for Pb was 1. 0 mg dm−3 (0.79 − 1.23 mg dm−3), which demonstrates that Cd is more toxic towards larvae.F inally, both LC50 values determined for Cd and Pb were higher than the corresponding metal concentrations measured in the Bah´ıa Blanca environment.

Opis:: In agriculture, the mixing of pesticides in tanks is a common practice. However, it is necessary to previse possible physical-chemical implications of this practice, which may affect the efficiency of the treatments performed. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the addition of acaricide to insecticidal spray mixtures on the formation of spray droplets and the interaction with citrus leaves. The experimental design was totally randomized, in a (2 × 3 + 1) factorial scheme for seven treatments. Factor A corresponded to the spray mixture used (isolate or in the mixture). Factor B corresponded to the insecticides tested (lambda-cyhalothrin + thiamethoxam, phosmet, and imidacloprid) and the control consisted of a spray mixture with spirodiclofen only. Nine replications were performed for characterization of the spray droplet size spectrum and four replications for the analysis of the surface tension and the contact angle. The mixture of pesticides showed positive results in terms of application safety. The addition of acaricide to insecticide spray mixtures reduced the surface tension and contact angle of droplets on the adaxial surface of orange leaves. There was an increment in volume median diameter (VMD), a significant reduction in the volume of droplets with drift-sensitive size and improvement in the uniformity of droplet size. Therefore, the addition of acaricide to an insecticide spray mixture positively influenced spray droplet formation and the interaction with citrus leaves providing better coverage and droplet size fractions with an appropriate size for safe and efficient application.

Opis:: A new specimen of Tupandactylus imperator, comprising an incomplete skull with associated lower jaw, is described. The material is the best preserved specimen of this species known so far and provides new information on the anatomy of this pterodactyloid pterosaur, especially with respect to the morphology of the lower jaw, the first one formally described for the species. Also, the new specimen shows an extensive preservation of soft tissues such as the soft−tissue component of the headcrest, ramphoteca associated with the premaxillae and lower jaw, as well as probable pycnofibres. A phylogenetic analysis was performed in order to test the relationships of the taxon within Tapejaridae. The results of the analysis support Tapejaridae, as well as monophyly of Tapejarinae and Thalassodrominae.
