A marine systematic conservation plan for Rodrigues Island, Western Indian Ocean
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (p. 53-59).In 2007 the local government of Rodrigues gazetted four marine reserves in the north of the island based on knowledge and insights from stakeholders, mainly from the fishing community. In order to verify the stakeholder-based design, a marine reserve network was designed using Marxan, a systematic conservation planning programme
Nelson Rodrigues : a mulher em tres planos
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoO presente trabalho propõe uma re-leitura da obra teatral de Nelson Rodrigues, enfocando a "mulher" como elemento-chave de suas peças. A notória relevância atribuída pelo autor às personagens femininas, fazendo-as protagonistas da maioria de suas peças. Trata-se de uma visão nova (para a época) da sensibilidade feminina, num tratamento diferenciado da mulher, com suas mazelas e frustrações. A mulher tripartida interiormente, oscilando entre os planos da realidade, memória e alucinação, de acordo com os caminhos e descaminhos do desejo, à mercê das pressões sociais e familiares - é a representante do universo feminino da dramaturgia rodriguiana. Foram destacadas três personagens para um estudo mais detalhado. Das estruturas e linguagem da obra do autor foram extraídas as bases constitutivas dessas personagens. Três momentos distintos na criação do teatro do autor; três atos em cada uma das peças (a exceção de uma); três planos no palco de vestido de noiva e na divisão interna da complexa alma feminina. Uma proposta dramatúrgica voltada para os motivos intrínsecos da existência, como o amor, a morte, o desejo, o ódio e todas as situações limítrofes
Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
No full textThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region

Males of Eleleis himba sp. nov. resemble those of E. etosha sp.nov. by RTA mostly straight with a ventral tip bent distally in retrolateral view, but differ by the tegular excavation located very close to the conductor (away from the conductor in E. etosha sp. nov.)
