No full textThis may represent the first time that I have seen The Little Red Hen called a fable. Each of the three housemates--dog, pig, and turkey--is given one pop-up. My favorite shows the turkey fanning herself with a bored look on her face. One of a set of four from an unusual dealer specializing in pop-ups.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Carla Dij
Avaliação de sistemas adesivos em dentina decídua: influência do envelhecimento na microtração e na nanoinfiltração
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Odontologia.Este estudo in vitro foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a resistência à microtração, e a nanoinfiltração de sistemas adesivos em dentina decídua, imediatamente (IM) e após seis meses (6M) do procedimento adesivo. Coroas de molares decíduos, hígidos e extraídos, foram desgastadas com papel de carbeto de silício até a granulação 600, obtendo-se superfícies oclusais planas, distribuídas em quatro grupos: Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (SMP), Single Bond (SB), Clearfil SE Bond (CSB) e Adper Prompt L-Pop (APL). Baseado nos dados obtidos pôde-se concluir que a resistência adesiva e a nanoinfiltração não foram influenciadas pelo envelhecimento e que a expressão da nanoinfiltração foi diferente entre os adesivos de condicionamento ácido total e autocondicionantes

Spotlight on Carla Ramsey
No full textCarla Ramsey, the author of the Adelaide comparison appearing in this issue, was born and raised in San Antonio, where she began studying piano at age six and trombone at eleven. I wish I had taken up cello instead, she says, .. but Texas was band country back in the \u2750s. Why trombone, instead of clarinet or flute like the other girls? I can\u27t remember. why I found this instrument so fascinating, but it might have had something to do with the fact that I enjoyed hanging out with and competing with the guys, admits- the self-described aging tomboy. Later, in my 20s and 30s, l studied cello for several years, but by then it was too late to master i
Comparison of biomechanical and physiological characteristics between front crawl and back crawl
No full textFront crawl (FC) and back crawl (BC) are similar in terms of having alternating contributions of
the arms combined with a six beat kick. However, the reason for the faster swimming times of
FC than BC has not yet been established. There have been several studies in which the energy
expenditure (Ė) of FC and BC were investigated. However, few researchers have compared Ė
between the strokes. Also, although there have been some studies for FC using 3D motion
analysis, few researchers have applied 3D motion analysis for BC. There have also been some
studies in which the relationship between isokinetic torque produced on an isokinetic
dynamometer and FC performance has been investigated, however, the relationship between
isokinetic torque and BC performance is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to
determine why FC is faster than BC by investigating physiological and biomechanical
differences between FC and BC.
Ten Portuguese male national level swimmers were recruited for this study. Three studies were
conducted to achieve the aim. In the first study, Ė of FC and BC at the same testing speed below
the anaerobic threshold were investigated by measuring swimmers’ oxygen uptake. Kinematic
variables of FC and BC below the anaerobic threshold were also measured by 3D motion analysis
in the first study. In the second study, 3D motion kinematics of FC and BC at the same selected
speeds were investigated. In the third study, kinematic differences between FC and BC at the
same exercise intensities, and correlations between the kinematics and isokinetic muscular
torques of the swimmer in FC and BC and their differences were assessed.
Below the anaerobic threshold, Ė of the swimmers in BC was significantly greater than that in
FC at the same speed although there were no differences in stroke frequency (SF), stroke length
(SL) and stroke index (SI). Swimmers also had significantly higher Froude efficiency (ηF) in FC
than in BC. Differences in several kinematic variables (range of motion of the foot, duration of
non-propulsive phases, and intra-cycle velocity variation) suggested that swimmers expended
greater energy in BC than in FC. Differences in other kinematic variables (body roll angle, hand
speed/acceleration, yaw angle fluctuation, centre of mass displacement, and hand/foot
displacements) suggested the possibility of resistive impulse being larger in BC than in FC
during the stroke cycle. Thus, FC is more economical and efficient than BC because swimmers
lose less energy to the water during the non-propulsive phase, and possibly have smaller resistive
impulse in FC than in BC at speeds below the anaerobic threshold. At the same selected speeds
above the anaerobic threshold, ηF in BC was significantly lower than that in FC, which was due
to faster mean 3D hand speed during the stroke cycle in BC than in FC. The faster mean hand
speed in BC than in FC was due to the faster 3D hand speed during the pull phase, and longer
relative duration of the release and above-water phases in BC than in FC. SI was also larger in FC
than in BC, which was due to longer SL in FC than in BC. The longer SL in FC than in BC was
due to the longer duration of propulsive phases and probably smaller resistive impulse during the
stroke cycle in FC than in BC. At the same selected exercise intensities, FC was faster than BC
because of higher SF. The higher SF in FC than in BC was due to the longer duration of the
above-water phase in BC than in FC, longer hand path distance during non-propulsive phases in
BC than in FC, earlier timing of the hand entry in relation to the underwater phase of the other
hand in FC than in BC. SF in both FC and BC was significantly correlated with shoulder
adduction isokinetic torque of the swimmers, however, the effect of shoulder isokinetic torque on
the difference in swimming performance between FC and BC required further investigation.
In conclusion, FC is faster than BC because swimmers can achieve higher SF in FC than in BC,
and FC is more economical and efficient than in BC with indirect evidence that resistive force are
greater in BC than in FC
Carla Cordua: Sobre la estética
No full textIn this essay the Author presents a wide overview on the understandiong of aesthetics in the writings of a philosopher whose life production he has described in a series of former texts. The span of Carla Cordua\u27s aesthetic and artistic interests is wide and our author gleans her thoughts through her main woorks as well as in her shorter writings. Cordua addresses the views on aesthetics of various philosophers and also her own. She then proceeds to elaborate on the nature of art and its history, its relations with philosophy and sociology. She also refers to the relations between art, art work, and artist and the way art has been received in its different manifestations. She finally deals quite extensively with literary criticism of various singular authors, especially of those who study life\u27s alleged lack of meaning.En este ensayo el autor presenta un panorama abarcador del aspecto estético en los escritos de una filósofa cuya trayectoria ha seguido en numerosos estudios anteriores. La gama de los intereses estéticos y artísticos de Carla Cordua es amplia, y el ensayista recoge sus reflexiones tanto en sus obras medulares como en producciones más breves. Cordua presenta tanto las visiones de varios filósofos de la estética como sus propias visiones. De la estética pasa al estudio de la naturaleza del arte y su historia, sus relaciones con la filosofía y la sociología. Estudia las relaciones recíprocas entre el arte, la obra y el artista; la recepción del arte en sus diversas manifestaciones. Finalmente, entra ampliamente a la crítica literaria de autores particulares, especialmente la de aquellos que estudian el sinsentido de la vida
