Processo hidrológico e transporte de espécies químicas produzidos por chuva intensa simulada em solos do sul do Brasil
No full textAs atividades agrícolas promovem modificações na estrutura física do solo e nas interações que ocorrem no seu interior. As mudanças promovidas nestas atividades podem gerar alterações do processo hidrogeoquímico no solo. Este estudo tem por objetivo estudar o processo hidrológico e o transporte de espécies químicas em solos agrícolas do Sul do Brasil, quando submetidos à chuva de alta intensidade, em lisímetros de drenagem, que são dispositivos experimentais. Sete lisímetros instalados em quatro bacias hidrográficas situadas nos estados do Sul do Brasil foram utilizados nos experimentos, apresentando os mesmos procedimentos metodológicos de dimensionamento e instalação. Nestes, foram realizadas simulações, com diferentes intensidades de chuva, com monitoramento do escoamento superficial e o de drenagem, analisadas quimicamente para as espécies químicas amônio, nitrato, nitrito, fosfato, carbono orgânico e inorgânico total. Foram realizados 77 ensaios de simulação de chuva, com intensidades de chuva variando entre 30 e 140 mm h-1, correspondendo a um período de retorno da ordem de 1 a 1000 anos, respectivamente, correspondendo a chuvas extremas. As séries de dados geradas foram analisadas quanto às suas evoluções temporais e espaciais, magnitude e o processo de transporte envolvido. Os modelos SWAP - Soil, Water, Atmosphere, Plant Environment e ANIMO - Agricultural Nutrient Model foram aplicados às séries, visando avaliar o processo hidrogeoquímico representados. Os modelos são de base física e apropriados para uso em escala de lisímetro. A geração de escoamento superficial, as taxas de infiltração de água no solo e a drenagem interna, em eventos pluviométricos de alta intensidade são influenciadas pelas práticas de manejo e pelo estádio de desenvolvimento da cobertura vegetal e a própria intensidade da chuva. Para elevadas intensidades de chuva tem-se o aumento da água retida na superfície, com consequente alteração na carga hidráulica, proporcionando aumento das taxas de infiltração e do escoamento no perfil do solo. As simulações de chuvas intensas mostram que as concentrações de nitrato nas águas de escoamento superficial e de drenagem são mais elevadas do que aquelas de amônio, nitrito, fosfato, carbono orgânico total e carbono inorgânico. O modelo SWAP simulou adequadamente os componentes do balanço hídrico no lisímetro nas escalas de tempo diário e das chuvas simuladas. Os coeficientes de eficiência de Nash-Sutcliffe na calibração e na verificação, na escala diária, foram superiores a 0,8 para o escoamento de drenagem. Para o nitrato e o fosfato, o modelo ANIMO simulou corretamente as concentrações nas datas de coletas de amostras de águas do escoamento superficial e de drenagem da série de dados diários. Nos períodos dos ensaios de chuvas simuladas, o modelo SWAP apresentou coeficientes de eficiência da ordem de 0,8 para a calibração e verificação do escoamento de drenagem. As evoluções das vazões dos ramos de ascensão e das vazões máximas dos hidrogramas foram adequadamente reproduzidas. O modelo ANIMO simulou com boa precisão as variações temporais das concentrações de nitrato e de fosfato nos períodos de verificação e de calibração das séries de ensaios de simulação de chuva.Agricultural activities promote modifications in the physical structure of the soil and the interactions that occur within. The changes promoted these activities can generate changes in hydrogeochemical processes in the soil. This study aims to the hydrological processes and transport of chemical species in agricultural soils in southern Brazil, when subjected to rain of high intensity in drainage lysimeters, are experimental devices. Seven lysimeters installed in four catchment areas in the southern states of Brazil were used in the experiments, which present the same methodology and manufacturing facility. In these were performed simulations with different rainfall intensities. Were monitored runoff, drainage and analyzed water samples collected for chemical species ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, total organic and inorganic carbon. 77 tests were performed to simulate rain, precipitation intensities ranging between 30 and 140 mm h-1, corresponding to return period of about 1 to 1,000 years, respectively, corresponding to extreme rainfall. The datasets generated were analyzed for their spatial and temporal evolutions, their magnitudes and transport processes involved. The models SWAP - Soil, Water, Atmosphere, Environment and Plant and ANIMO - Agricultural Nutrient Model, was applied to the series, to evaluate the hydrogeochemical processes represented. The models are based on physical and suitable for use in lysimeter scale. The generation of runoff, infiltration rates and soil water drainage built in high intensity rainfall events are influenced by management practices and the development stage of the vegetation cover and the very intensity of precipitation. For high intensity rainfall has increased water retained in the surface, with a consequent change in hydraulic head, providing increased rates of infiltration and runoff in the soil profile. The simulations show that the heavy rainfall nitrate concentrations in water runoff and drainage are higher than those of ammonium, nitrite, phosphate, total organic carbon and inorganic carbon. The SWAP model adequately simulated the water balance components in the lysimeter and daily time scales of simulated rainfall. The coefficient of efficiency Nash-Sutcliffe calibration and verification in a daily were more than 0.8 drain for disposal. For nitrate and phosphate, the model correctly simulated ANIMO concentrations on the dates of sample collection of water runoff and drainage series of daily data. During periods of rainfall test, the model presented SWAP efficiency ratios on the order of 0.8 for calibration and verification of drainage outlets. The evolutions of the flow of arms to rise and peak flows of hydrographs were properly reproduced. The model adequately simulated ANIMO temporal variations in the concentrations of nitrate and phosphate during periods of verification and calibration of the test suites rainfall simulation
Creative Metamorphoses: Early Experimentation with Digital Technology in the Works of Sarah Jackson and Elizabeth Vander Zaag
No full textThis thesis looks at key themes in the works of two Canadian artists, Elizabeth Vander Zaag and Sarah Jackson, who began experimenting with digital technologies beginning in the mid-1970s, before the advent of personal computing. Focusing on shared themes of development and transformation in their works, the author shows how their ideas reflect a particular attitude towards early digital media, as well as biological life more generally, that contradicts what was generally thought to be the trajectory and ethos of simulating technologies as they developed in academic environments in the 1960s and 70s and trickled out into the art world. Grounded in a methodology that considers feminist responses to the ideology put forward by the discourse of cybernetics that privileges the status of information, this thesis positions Jackson and Vander Zaag as significant figures in Canada’s first wave of digital artists, centering critical issues of gender, literacy, and access as read through the context and content of each artist’s practice. What the author finds is that the emphasis in digital media scholarship on programming as the site of critical interventions trivializes the other ways artists who were women were engaging with technology as it was emerging. Contrary to extant histories of Canadian media art that favour legible distinguishing features such as interactivity, early digital media makes its way into certain artistic practices as hybrids between digital and traditional media, as artists sought ways to translate its radical difference into vocabularies that were harmonious and accessible to existing practices in video, sculpture and drawing. Ultimately, Jackson and Vander Zaag’s use of digital media as expressive tools gave them a vantage point from which to reflect on the medium without getting caught up in the technicalities of the coding process, and their work reflects a radical openness to its potentialities. The author argues for a feminist reading of this orientation that counteracts the tendency to locate agency in the act of programming at the expense of excluding other forms of engagement with digital media
Drie decennia boekenzorg. Cornelis vander Plasse en Gerbrand Bredero
No full textAt the time of Gerbrand Adriaensz. Bredero’s death in 1618, many of his songs, poetry and a few (unfinished) plays were left behind unpublished. Cornelis Lodewijcksz. Vander Plasse (1585-1641), an Amsterdamse book seller and publisher, became fascinated, like many of his fellow citizens, by the literary world that Bredero had shapen. He made great efforts, during Bredero’s lifetime and especially after his death, to gather alle the texts that remained, to complete them, and to publish all the material, even the smallest pieces. This article is concerned with the way in which this Amsterdam publisher took decisions both to comply with the work by his deceased friend and to derive maximum benefit from publication of his work. Which problems did he encounter and which solutions did he came up with? After Bredero’s jocular songs have been proven successful, Vander Plasse decided to publish the third edition of Bredero’s little songbook. It contained only his songs, witty and funny little stories in songs about farmers and silly servants and maids. In an introduction Bredero announces a larger song book with amorous songs, but due to Bredero’s death, it did not appear. The fourth edition is the earliest still existing one, the Geestigh liedt-boecxken (Merry Song Book) from 1621, a slim, small-format volume. This posthumous booklet contains songs in accordance with Bredero’s choice, as far as it is in agreement with the content of the third edition. But the influence of Vander Plasse is apparent in a final part `new religious songs’. It is not quite clear whether this addition is meant to make this compilation even more varied or that Vander Plasse wanted new readers. In any case, the next year the expensive Groot lied-boeck (5th edition) appeared, a status symbol, richly ornamented with varied typography and illustrations. Many songs were added and it is divided in the same three volumes: `Boertigh, Amoreus, en Aendachtigh’, witty songs, love songs and devotional songs. The combination of a great rush and the publication of what the publisher could find of Bredero’s writings, led to errors and mistakes. Vander Plasse published songs and poetry that was not made by Bredero, or that the latter had not written for publication. Moreover, some of it was never intended for public consumption in such a volume. At the end of his life, the publisher presented a monumental edition: the complete work (1638), even with a completely new play by Bredero, never printed before. It was the culmination of decades of intensive preparation and efforts involving, in some cases, large numbers of people in a network of other writers, engravers and printers. The introductionary part of the complete work has a remarkable focus on the classical tradition. The dedication describes the valuation of drama in Antiquity, a characterization of classical tragedy and comedy, and a judgment about Bredero’s talent in comparison with classical comedy authors. It foreshadows a large introduction, translated from a French text, about the history of theatre in Antiquity, the classical genres, locations, actors, theatre clothes, and the design of the stage and the scenery. Apparently, Vander Plasse used this `erudite’ discourse about the classical theater to give Bredero’s oeuvre a special cachet by suggesting that it belonged to the same classical tradition. Bredero was a `Terence redivivus’. It has been demonstrated how paratexts reflect the personal relation of publisher and poet, next to usual commendations that remind us to commercial self-interest. Vander Plasse wanted to introduce his readers to the person Bredero who he had spoken, with whom he had made agreements. On the basis of the analysis of titlepages, paratexts and laudatory poems, it has become clear that thoughtfulness and commitment are keywords in this relationship, next to fanatism and negligence. Where this vice of Vander Plasse was caused by force majeure, due to the little systematic character of the manuscripts deposited, it seems less culpable than where the publisher makes false or misleading claims about literary work yet to be published, e.g. in an introduction that he took over unchanged from an earlier publication. From the paratexts we may draw the conclusion that the commitment to his friend concerned the publisher himself, but he also imposed it on his readers. They were bombarded with book announcements, explanations of his actions and decisions. Vander Plasse’s faithful passion to collect all texts has supplied us about half of Bredero’s total oeuvre after August 1618, including all farces and the songbook. One of his strategies was to let the new material reach the faithful group of readers only little by little. With that he proved himself a full expert in marketing and advertising, as well as the one who has layd the foundation of Bredero’s reputation as one of our main seventeenth-century poets. The overall picture seems to be that this Amsterdam publisher has taken on the role of advisor during Bredero’s life. He launched initiatives, consulted and decided on publication, from within his network. After the death of the author he was, in a different way, organiser, conservator, and he kept an overview of the whole process of production, distribution and consumption for over two decades
Corpus linguistics & literature:A contrastive analysis of Dan Brown and Machado de Assis
No full textThe starting point for this research was an investigation in the Orkut virtual environment to find out real readers' literary reading preferences. Subjects indicated Machado de Assis as their favorite canonical author and Dan Brown as their option of popular writer. Having selected one literary work from each of the two authors mentioned - namely, 'Dom Casmurro' and 'O Código da Vinci' - this study compared both styles from the perspective of Corpus Linguistics. To this end, both novels were digitized, formatted and transformed into two corpora. With the help of WordSmith Tools (Scott, 1999), it was possible to identify the most frequent four-word lexical bundles (cf. Biber et al., 2004). These lexical bundles were then classified both structurally and functionally according to Biber et al.'s (2004) taxonomies. The results reveal a large number of repeated lexical bundles with similar structures and functions in 'O Código da Vinci'. This finding may account for the popularity of its reading when compared to that of 'Dom Casmurro'
Rethinking integration: what we can learn from social psychology
No full textThe integration of vast numbers of migrants into European countries from North Africa and the
Middle East continues pose challenges for policy makers. The many differences between these
immigrants and the native population can make assimilation difficult. In order to increase trust and
social cohesion between citizens and migrant populations, various forms of multicultural and
assimilatory policies have been enacted with mixed success. This study challenges the usefulness
of the current way people think about integration ideologies, namely as a choice between
assimilation and multiculturalism. I hypothesize that we can better analyze public attitudes about
integration by conceptualizing integration as a continuum of possibilities arranged along a scale
of overall permissiveness. Using this continuum, we can entertain new and more effective
ideologies as policy options. My field research conducted surveys with native-born citizens in the
Netherlands and Belgium to gather information about the appeal and usefulness of these new
integration ideologies. This paper finds evidence that the more moderate ideologies of
interculturalism and “liberalism as identity” create stronger feelings of trust toward immigrant
while minimizing in-group projection, overcoming the in-group projection problem. Furthermore,
in Belgium, interculturalism is seen as more desirable to the respondents than the current more
extreme policies of multiculturalism and assimilation.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2017-12-01The student, Neil Vander Most, accepted the attached license on 2015-11-12 at 20:46.The student, Neil Vander Most, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2015-11-12 at 21:27.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2015-11-16 at 13:55.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #8780 on 2016-03-02 at 14:13:01Made available in DSpace on 2016-03-02T21:06:28Z (GMT).

Using different groups of technological progress as input for sector modeling
No full textThis poster aims at describing different groups of technology use within a farm population and at delivering realistic prognoses of their future status as input for sector modeling. This because sector models are in many cases not based on reasonable technological progress estimations or too simplified as normative estimation or seen as mere extrapolation of past evolutions. The classification and utilization of technology groups is done for livestock activities, but illustrated hereafter for the finishing pigs activities. The research is worked out in three phases: • Organizational aspects of tuning information demand and supply; • Identification of technology groups; • Evolution of technology groups. Following techniques are used to identify the technology groups: Stochastic frontier analysis, cluster analysis and others. The results can be used in sector models to measure the impact of induced innovation on different technology groups.technology, sector modeling, induced innovation, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
