1. Resposta da Plataforma Continental Sudeste a ventos sazonais e sinóticos de verão: estudos numéricos / Response of the South Brazil bight to summer seasonal and synoptic winds: numerical studie
In order to study the pertubations caused on the South Brazil Bigth (SBB) caused by the passage of a cold front during Summer, a mean basic state for currents was obtained using the POM (Princeton Ocean Model) through diagnostic simulation, followed by a short round prognostic. The mean currents modeled are in certain instancies similar to the currents measu

2. Desenvolvimento, caracterizaÃÃo e estudo de permeaÃÃo cutÃnea de diclofenaco de dietilamÃnio em sistemas tÃpicos nanoemulsionados
The nanoemulsions (NE) are transparent, isotropic and thermodynamically stable systems, formed spontaneously under a specific set of experimental conditions from mixtures of water and oil phases stabilized by a surfactant or a mixture of surfactant and cosufactant. Because of their properties, especially the ability to carry lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs

3. Novos esquemas centrais de diferenças finitas para a simulação de escoamentos multifásicos em reservatórios de petróleo / New finite-difference central schemes applied to multiphase flows in petroleum reservoirs
Os escoamentos bifásicos incompressíveis água-óleo são modelados por um sistema de equações diferenciais parciais nas incógnitas velocidade, pressão e saturação. Neste trabalho é apresentado um novo método numérico em duas dimensões espaciais para a resolução numérica da equação de transporte de massa. Suas principais características sã

4. MODELLING TO RAIN ATTENUATION EFECTS IN POINT-TO-POINT AND POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT TERRESTRIAL LINKS / MODELAMENTO DE EFEITOS DE ATENUAÇÃO POR CHUVAS EM ENLACES TERRESTRES PONTO-A-PONTO E PONTO-MULTIPONTO
The growing demand for broadband services such as high- speed data, video, audio and multimedia, has lead to the use of point-multipoint radio systems operating in frequencies above of 10 GHz, that are not yet allocated for other services and allow the use of the large bandwidths required by these services. At these frequencies, the main contribution for the

5. Liquid plug propagation in flexible microchannels: A small airway model
In the present study, we investigate the effect of wall flexibility on the plug propagation and the resulting wall stresses in small airway models with experimental measurements and numerical simulations. Experimentally, a flexible microchannel was fabricated to mimic the flexible small airways using soft lithography. Liquid plugs were generated and propagat

6. Response to Selection for Mating Speed and Changes in Gene Arrangement Frequencies in Descendants from a Single Population of DROSOPHILA PSEUDOOBSCURA
Heritability estimates, based on 19 generations of selection for fast and slow mating speed, were not significantly different from zero at the 0.05 level in any replicate of selected lines in a population of flies descended from the Mather population in California. Only the combined heritability estimate of approximately 2% was significant. This indicated th

7. Local positive feedback by calcium in the propagation of intracellular calcium waves.
In many types of eukaryotic cells, the activation of surface receptors leads to the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and calcium release from intracellular stores. Calcium release can occur in complex spatial patterns, including waves of release that traverse the cytoplasm. Fluorescence video microscopy was used to view calcium waves in single mous

8. Apparent role of traveling metabolic waves in oxidant release by living neutrophils
Cell metabolism self-organizes into two types of dissipative structures: chemical oscillations and traveling metabolic waves. In the present study we test the hypothesis that traveling NAD(P)H waves within neutrophils are associated spatially and temporally with the release of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs). Using high-speed optical microscopy and taking

9. Simulating materials failure by using up to one billion atoms and the world's fastest computer: Brittle fracture
We describe the first of two large-scale atomic simulation projects on materials failure performed on the 12-teraflop ASCI (Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative) White computer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. This is a multimillion-atom simulation study of crack propagation in rapid brittle fracture where the cracks travel faster than the sp

10. On the roles of Ca2+ diffusion, Ca2+ buffers, and the endoplasmic reticulum in IP3-induced Ca2+ waves.
We have investigated the effects of Ca2+ diffusion, mobile and stationary Ca2+ buffers in the cytosol, and Ca2+ handling by the endoplasmic reticulum on inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced Ca2+ wave propagation. Rapid equilibration of free and bound Ca2+ is used to describe Ca2+ sequestration by buffers in both the cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lum
