13. Influência do tratamento térmico e do tipo de reforço nas propriedades de compósitos a base de ligas de alumínio obtidos via metalurgia do pó.
The development of composite materials is a result of the need to conjugate the properties of two or more components in one, thus maximizing the individual properties. The Aluminium Matrix Composites (AMCs) reinforced with hard particles have bulked the sectors of application due to the properties as low density and increased wear resistance. The technique o

14. AvaliaÃÃo da cobranÃa como mecanismo econÃmico alocativo na gestÃo de bacias hidrogrÃficas: o caso da bacia do Rio Pirapama
The increasing concern about the environment and with the water quantity and quality generated some works in some distinct areas interested in the problem. An existing line of studies is focused on the institution of the charging for the raw water uses, as it foresees the National Water Resources Policy which is established in the Federal Law 9433-97, as for

15. DESIGN AND HANDICRAFT: THE POSSIBLE CHANGES / DESIGN E ARTESANATO: AS TROCAS POSSÍVEIS
This research departs from the assumption that is not appropriate to argue if the designer must or not to act attached to the handicraft segment but, indeed, how his action must take place. The increasing partnership of the designer attached to the productive chain of the handicraft establishes the presence of this professional in this segment and shapes a c

16. Project management efficiency calculation through thermodynamics´ analogy. / Cálculo da eficiência do gerenciamento de projetos utilizando uma analogia com a termodinâmica.
More and more the project management is inside the international corporations, mainly due to their needs of reducing the non conformance costs generated by their projects and maximizing their profits. Those problems lead to the need of determination of measures related to project success, projects losses, analysismodels and studies concerning losses reductio

17. Genetic basis of quantitative traits in different oat (Avena sativa L.) populations / Bases genéticas de caracteres quantitativos em diferentes populações de aveia (Avena sativa L.)
In the investigations performed with the oat crop, many mechanisms have been proposed with the goal of maximizing the genetic gains in different quantitative traits, especially on segregating populations, where a greater level of genetic interaction is expected. On the other hand, great value has been attributed to the right choice of environmentally adapted

20. OTIMIZAÇÃO DE ALTERNATIVAS PARA DESENVOLVIMENTO DE CAMPO DE PETRÓLEO UTILIZANDO COMPUTAÇÃO EVOLUCIONÁRIA / THE OPTIMIZATION OF PETROLEUM FIELD EXPLORATION ALTERNATIVES USING EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION
This dissertation investigates a system based in genetic algorithms and cultural algorithms, applied to the development process of a petroleum field. The development of a petroleum field consists in the placement of wells in an already known and delimited petroleum reservoir, which allows maximizing the Net Present Value. A placement of wells defines the qua

21. Elaboração de um estruturado de polpa de manga (Mangifera indica L. cv Tommy Atkins) parcialmente desidratada por osmose
Tropical fruits like mango, although very appreciated because of its aroma and flavor, are highly perishable, thus special preservation techniques are necessary to keep them in good commercial conditions, even to add them more value. The aim of this work was to develop a fruit structured, partially osmotic dehydrated, followed by conventional drying at stove

22. Otimização e comparação dos processos de desidratação osmotica a vacuo e a pressão ambiente de pseudofruto de caju (Anacardium occidentale L)
Despite being considered as an important producer of tropical fruits, Brazil presents a food wastage rate exceeding 35% of its production. This fact justifies research into low cost preservation methods leading to stable products and conserving, with only slight alterations, the nutritive and organoleptic characterisitics, aiming possibly at exportation. The

24. Equivalence of maximizing reproductive value and fitness in the case of reproductive strategies
The proposed equivalence of maximizing reproductive value and fitness is examined for two model life histories. In the first instance, it is assumed that offspring are fledged before the start of the next breeding season. In this case the proposed equivalence is verified. In the second model, parents care for their progeny for more than 1 year. In this case
