Ecophysiological controls on water use of tropical cloud forest trees in response to experimental drought
No full textTropical montane cloud forests (TMCFs) are expected to experience more frequent and prolonged droughts over the coming century, yet understanding of TCMF tree responses to moisture stress remains weak compared to the lowland tropics. We simulated a severe drought in a throughfall reduction experiment (TFR) for two years in a Peruvian TCMF and evaluated the physiological responses several dominant species (Clusia flaviflora, Weinmannia bangii, Weinmannia crassiflora, Prunus integrifolia). Measurements were taken of: i) sap flow ii) diurnal cycles of stem shrinkage, stem moisture variation, and water use; iii) intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) estimated from foliar δ13C. In Weinmannia bangii, we used dendrometers and volumetric water content (VWC) sensors to quantify daily cycles of stem water storage. In two years of sap flow (Js) data, we found a threshold response of water use to VPD > 1.07 kPa independent of treatment, though control trees used more soil water than the treatment trees. The daily decline in water use in the TFR trees was associated with a strong reduction in both morning and afternoon Js rates at a given VPD. Soil moisture also affected the hysteresis strength between Js and VPD. Reduced hysteresis under moisture stress implies that TMCFs are strongly dependent on shallow soil water. Additionally, we suggest that hysteresis can serve as a sensitive indicator of environmental constraints on plant function. Finally, six months into the experiment, the TFR treatment significantly increased iWUE in all study species. Our results highlight the conservative behavior of TMCF tree water use under severe soil drought and elucidates physiological thresholds related to VPD and its interaction with soil moisture. The observed strongly isohydric response likely incurs a cost to the carbon balance of the tree, and reduces overall ecosystem carbon uptake

O atendimento a clientes internos em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Produção.Este trabalho consiste no estudo da estrutura de atendimento em uma instituição de ensino superior, o Centro Universitário de Belo Horizonte, e na análise do nível de satisfação dos clientes internos e externos desse estabelecimento de ensino. Para o desenvolvimento deste objetivo central, foi elaborado um estudo sobre a importância do homem nas organizações. Além disso, os principais autores do endomarketing - Brum (1998, 2000), Cerqueira (1994) e Bekin (1995) - entre outras publicações sobre o tema, também foram analisados. A adequação da cultura organizacional e projetos de endomarketing que focam a excelência do atendimento também foram abordados. Tais estudos permitiram explorar uma lógica simples mas pouco utilizada na prática organizacional: a satisfação do público interno se reflete diretamente na satisfação do externo
