Dimensioamento e Análise de Diferentes Propostas de Longarinas para Pontes de Concreto Armado
No full textTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro Tecnológico. Engenharia Civil.Esta monografia tem como objetivo a apresentação de uma proposta de tabelas eletrônicas de cálculo, para o dimensionamento de longarinas de pontes de concreto armado convencional com duas longarinas. Para obtenção os momentos fletores sobre as vigas utilizou-se do aplicativo Dualong, desenvolvido por Souza (2011). Foi realizado um levantamento sobre os tipos de pontes e considerações que se devem ter antes de sua concepção, a partir da situação proposta de pontes em concreto armado com duas vigas principais. Foi utilizado para critério de comparação e validação dos resultados encontrados, a ponte do projeto 01 das Notas de Aula de Spernau (2013), a qual também serviu de referência para Souza (2011). Nas planilhas de cálculo estão contidos os dimensionamentos das armaduras de flexão e a análise da fadiga nas mesmas. As vigas foram tratadas como vigas T, considerando a contribuição da laje do tabuleiro. Teve-se como intuito avaliar as implicações no consumo de materiais a partir da alteração da posição dos elementos construtivos da ponte, a fim de encontrar entre as propostas estudas aquelas que fossem mais interessantes no que se refere ao consumo de materiais

Results of integrated magnetic and GPR surveys in the St. Vincenzo archaeological site (Stromboli Island, Italy)
No full textIdentification of buried cultural heritage in geophysical records is
hampered by the often irregular geometry and by the limited
target/background contrast. Data integration offers a viable solution in favorable cases and in particular for areal mapping of buried foundations or building remains through the integration of magnetic and GPR surveys.
Irregular and isolated targets, lacking lateral continuity and identifiable geome t r i c p a t t e r n , a r e c h a r a c t e r i s t i c o f pre- and proto- historic sites and require complementary strategies to achieve optimum interpretation results. We propose and test a combined 2.5/3-D GPR survey strategy based on single-fold and mul t i - fold data, integrated by magnetic
(gradiometric) surveys. GPR data analysis is based on standard
section/volume interpretation complemented by multi-attribute and wavelet analysis for the identification of targets of potential
archeological interest. The method is tested on a dataset from the St. Vincenzo protohistoric site (Stromboli Island, Italy). The results give evidence of many often superimposed buried remains and allow detailed pre-excavation planning. Geophysical outcomes are validated by the archaeological excavation that identified remains of a Middle-Bronze Age (1650-1400 B.C.) village and most recent structures and objects

On the Sudakov Form Factor, and a Factor of Two
No full textI answer a question that Roman Jackiw asked me, and I draw some lessons from the answer. The question is: why is the Sudakov form factor larger by a factor of two, if computed for off-shell fermions, in comparison to the onshell case? The answer sheds some light on the interplay between infrared and collinear singularities — and the importance of factors of two
New Land Values Patterns in the Space of the Italian Metropolitan Areas: The Case of the Logistic Retro-port in Naples
No full textAbstractIn the perspective of the new level of government - the Metropolitan city of Naples- one of the most challenging projects concerns the redevelopment of the ex-industrial areas located in the eastern zone of the city, characterized by the presence of the port. One of the reasons for the slowness in which the program of urban regeneration proceed (NaplEst) is the generic identification of the demand for new functions in an area which plays a strategic role in the metropolitan context. The article, starting from an analysis of the land values in the space of the metropolitan city, wants to highlight their evolution. With reference to the land values in the peripheral areas, it is possible to see new values, more significant with regard to the past. In this new and discontinued framework of land values, a more realistic proposal for the regeneration of the retro-port is relevant: the logistic function, in accordance with the “State Plan of a first Intervention for the South industrial ports”

No full textIranians in China : Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, and Bureaus of Commerce
No full textLe dates de 148 et 845 pourraient être suggérées pour délimiter la période de l'influence iranienne en Chine. Ce fut en 148 qu 'An Shigao arriva à Luoyang, capitale de la Chine. Quant à la date de 845, elle marque le moment final de la persécution des annés 842-845 de toutes les religions étrangères. On peut aussi dire que l 'apogée de l'influence iranienne, entre les dates de 148 et 845, se situe au VIIe siècle.
Un événement traumatisant intervient au siècle suivant. En 756, un tout puissant général iranien s'empara de Luoyang et mit fin à la dynastie des Tang en établissant sa propre dynastie des Grands Yan. Ce ne fut qu 'à la fin de 762 que les troupes Tang, grâce à l 'aide des Ouighours, réussirent à reprendre Luoyang et à abolir la nouvelle dynastie abhorrée, établie par l'iranien An Lushan (703-757).
Outre An Shigao et An Lushan, on citera quelques noms d'iraniens qui eurent un rôle important en Chine dans différents domaines et quelques noms de membres de l'aristocratie Sassanide qui vécurent à la cour chinoise. Sont aussi connus quelques noms de religieux bouddhistes, chrétiens et manichéens. Aucun nom important ne peut être mentionné pour le mazdéisme qui pourtant parvint certainement en Chine. Mais je crois qu'il est difficile d'évaluer l'importance de cette religion en Chine. Il ne faut pas oublier que, bien qu 'elle fût la religion officielle dans la Perse sassanide, ce furent les monastères chrétiens qui reçurent en Chine le nom de "Monastères de Perse" entre 638 et 745. Ce fait est certainement lié à l'intervention des Sassanides dans leur fondation. Il faut aussi considérer que la date d'introduction et l'importance du mazdéisme sont des problèmes étroitement liés à la question du sens du terme sabao : désigne-t-il vraiment des fonctionnaires mazdéens comme on l'a toujours cru? Si nous désirons faire un peu de lumière sur la question du mazdéisme en Chine, il faut tout d'abord remettre en discussion cette idée reçue. Mon opinion est que ce terme indique surtout l'agence gouvernementale pour le commerce extérieur et les commerçants étrangers. Cette agence était confiée d'habitude à des iraniens de Chine, les membres de la famille An notamment, qui n'étaient pas nécessairement mazdéens.Forte Antonino.
