Projeto de Pós-Graduação/Dissertação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Medicina Dentária

Introdução: O MTA foi preconizado com o intuito de substituir os materiais obturadores que não reuniam as características ideias para tratamentos dentários, tais como retro-obturações e reparação de perfurações radiculares. Objectivo: Pretende-se com este trabalho analisar e sintetizar a evidência científica existente sobre o MTA disponível no mercado que reúna o máximo de caraterísticas químicas e físicas para a prática clínica em Medicina Dentária. Materiais e Métodos: Foi efetuada uma revisão bibliográfica, entre os meses de Maio e Junho de 2014, nas bases de dados on-line, Pubmed e Scopus, utilizando a VPN da FMDUP e da UFP. Recorreu-se também ao repositório da biblioteca da Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde da UFP. As palavras-chave utilizadas foram "Mineral Trioxide Aggregate", "Chemical Properties" e "Physical Properties", correlacionadas com o operador booleano "AND", nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol. Desta pesquisa selecionaram-se 24 artigos que vieram a constituir o corpus documental para esta revisão. Resultados: Os resultados foram centrados entre algumas caraterísticas Químicas e Físicas dos MTA's analisados, nomeadamente Constituição Química, pH, Libertação de Iões Cálcio, Tempo de Presa, Força de Compressão, Solubilidade e Radiopacidade. Estes valores obtidos foram variando de cimento em cimento e de acordo com a metodologia adoptada para a sua obtenção. Conclusão: A Composição Química do MTA e sua relação é extremamente importante para nós, Médicos Dentistas, com o intuito de perceber o seu comportamento no ato clínico a executar e ao longo do tempo. Os valores mais elevados de pH são do MTA Angelus® e White ProRoot® e o de menor valor é do MTAB®. O que que apresenta maior libertação de iões cálcio é o MTA BIO® e o que apresenta menor valor é o MTAB®. Concluímos que o MTA BIO® apresenta o menor tempo de presa e o Fillapex® o maior tempo. O MTA que exibe maior resistência às forças compressivas é o MTA ProRoot Grey® e o de menor capacidade é o MTA ! ! II Fillapex®. O que apresenta maior Solubilidade é o MTA Fillapex® e o que apresenta menor valor é o MTA ProRoot Grey®. verificamos que o MTA Fillapex® é o MTA mais radiopaco e o ProRoot Grey® o MTA que apresenta valor de radiopacidade inferior.

▼ Gasoline or diesel fuel sourced from crude oil source is a complex mixture of hundreds of hydrocarbons. It is extremely difficult to simulate for better understanding of the fuel flow and combustion behaviors which are essential to enhance fuel quality and to improve engine performance. To overcome this difficulty, a surrogate fuel, that has fewer compounds and that emulates certain important physical properties of a target fuel, can be utilized. The surrogate mixtures for both gasoline and diesel are designed through a computer aided model based technique by our collaborator at Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and their relevant target properties are predicted. Following the preparation of surrogate blends, target physical properties of both fuel surrogates are measured according to American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) methods using advanced analytical equipment in the Fuel Characterization Laboratory. For both gasoline and diesel surrogates, the model predictions are found to be in good agreement with the experimental results except for a few reported cases such as the Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) of gasoline. For such cases, modifications are made to the model in order to improve the predicted results. Therefore, the experimental investigations are found to be extremely essential for improving the assumptions used to define interactions of the hydrocarbons in the mixtures, which in turn enables enhanced predictability of the model. The developed model, which leads to a property driven product, can be further investigated to prepare new fuel blends and identify suitable renewable additives in a known amount that can aid in designing of future generation of fuels obtained from either conventional crude oil sources or non-conventional sources. Even though this model provides an excellent, fast and reliable opportunity for screening large number of fuel surrogates and optimization of the same, it is extremely important to experimentally verify the final blends and fine-tune them if necessary before their utilization in engine. Also, the measured property values help to improve the accuracy of the property models as well as the assumptions used to develop them.

▼ Abstract At least 30 000 hectares of land has been converted from plantation forest to pasture in the central North Island of New Zealand between 2000 and 2010. When forests are cleared for pasture the soil may undergo changes in soil structure affecting physical properties. The overall objective of this study was to investigate changes in soil physical properties in Pumice Soils following land use change from forest to pasture. Two study areas were identified; one near Tokoroa (Maxwell Farms), and one near Taupo (Wairakei Estate). At each study area a series of sites including: plantation pine forest, pasture converted from pine forest 2,3,4 and 5 years ago, and long term (>50 years) dairy, and sheep and beef pasture, were identified, all on Taupo Pumice Soil. Field and laboratory methods included measurement of; penetration resistance, degree of packing, soil dry bulk density, soil hydrophobicity, unsaturated and saturated hydraulic conductivity, soil moisture retention, aggregate stability, particle size distribution, and soil pH. There was increased soil compaction in the A horizon on recently converted sites compared to pine forest sites as evidenced by higher soil dry bulk density, increased penetration resistance, and degree of packing. At the Tokoroa study area the pine forest soil A horizon had a significantly lower dry bulk density ( mean 0.58 g/cm3) ( P < 0.05 ) than any of the pasture sites (mean 0.65 - 0.72 g/cm3). At the Taupo study area only long term dairy (mean 0.78 g/cm3) and the youngest pasture site (3 years since conversion from pine forest) (mean 0.74 g/cm3) had higher (P < 0.05) bulk density than the plantation pine forest soil. At the Tokoroa study area, the penetration resistance and degree of packing in the A horizon of the pine forest site was lower ( P< 0.01 ) than any other site. The degree of packing and penetration resistance at the Taupo study area in the A horizon of the pine forest site was lower ( P< 0.05 ) compared to 3 years old conversion and long term dairy pasture but was not significantly different from pastures converted 4 and 5 years ago. The water repellency of recently converted pastures was higher (P < 0.05) than pine forest at both study areas. Two of the three long-term pasture sites investigated had very low water repellency. The long term pasture sites had markedly higher total available water holding capacity than either the recently converted pastures or the pine forest sites. The pine forest soil water content at 10 kPa (field capacity) and 100 kPa (readily available water) was generally lower than pasture sites. At the Tokoroa study area there was no significant difference in unsaturated hydraulic conductivity between the pine forest soil and any other site. At Taupo the pine forest soil unsaturated hydraulic conductivity was higher (P < 0.05) than the most recent conversion site (3 years old) but not significantly different from other sites. At the Taupo study area none of the land uses had significantly different saturated infiltration rate compared to the pine… Advisors/Committee Members: Lowe, David J (advisor), Balks, Megan R (advisor), Schipper, Louis A (advisor).

▼ Proteins are one of the most abundant biomacromolecules and play important roles in bioactivities within organisms, including key functions in DNA replication, immune system response, metabolic reactions and molecular transportation. Proteins fold into their unique compact three-dimensional structures to precisely perform their functions. Knowledge of proteins on their structures and interactions with other molecules or biomacromolecules is fundamental to understand the mechanism of many diseases. Thus, in this thesis, the focus is on studying the physical properties of proteins, and protein interactions using microfluidic techniques. Chapter 1 provides a brief introduction to protein stability and identification as well as their interactions. Then, conventional techniques for studying protein systems are reviewed. Moreover, the principles, designs and applications of microfluidic techniques are introduced. Chapter 2 demonstrates that a microfluidic diffusional sizing device can be employed to study protein interactions with small molecules by measuring the variation of hydrody- namic radius of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solution as a function of pH. By simulating the behaviour of folded and unfolded BSA, the relative population of BSA in dif- ferent states can be calculated. In addition, the key residues that regulate the BSA unfolding process are predicted. Furthermore, I utilize a modified microfluidic diffusional sizing device to measure the hydrodynamic radius of Escherichia coli 70S ribosome and study its interactions with antibiotics, such as chloramphenicol. In Chapter 3, a microfluidic device for protein identification is designed to measure the physical parameters of proteins, including the fluorescence intensities of specific amino acids (tryptophan, tyrosine, lysine) and the hydrodynamic radius of proteins. Thus, proteins can be correctly identified in a single microfluidic device. The results have significant implications in development of effective and efficient techniques for precise protein identification in their native state. In Chapter 4, the interactions between a membrane protein (aquaporins) and a small regulator protein (calmodulin) are investigated by detecting the changes of their electrophoretic mobility and diffusivity in microfluidic devices. Then the effective charges of aquaporin0 and its complex with calmodulin are calculated. Finally, the selective binding between calmodulin and different types of aquaporins is investigated based on their relative binding affinities.

▼ The work presented in this thesis represents a combination of laboratory and field experiments designed to explain some field observations I made on some coarse sands in South Australia in 1999: that much of the irrigation water and nutrients applied to the sands under drip-irrigation simply passed through the root zone leaving the crops water-stressed shortly after irrigation events. There was clearly only minimal lateral spread of the water in these coarse sands. However, by applying small concentrations of polyacrylamide or ‘PAM’ in the irrigation water, the crops seemed to do better. Furthermore the timing of irrigation events appeared to be more flexible on the PAM-treated properties. I found this intriguing and saw an opportunity to increase the lateral spread of water in the root zone and thereby increasing the stored volume and residence time of water. By retaining more water in the rootzone, there was potential to save a considerable amount of costly irrigation water, and also improve crop production and quality. With encouragement from my then employer (Elders Pty Ltd) and from Ciba Specialty Chemicals Australia, I undertook to explore my findings in greater detail and to attempt to explain them based on some ‘hard’ (experimental) evidence. Increasing the lateral spread of water under drippers in coarse-textured soils requires water to be retained in the root zone for longer periods during irrigation, but the practical methods for doing this are limited to: • Altering the pore size distribution to create a finer average range of pore sizes, either by compaction or by stabilization of smaller pores using organic matter or additions of clay. • Reducing the wettability of the soil so that less water can be taken in and the soil never becomes saturated. (This of course risks surface runoff and suboptimal placement of irrigation water). • Altering the physical properties of irrigation water (eg. viscosity, surface tension) so that it interacts differently with soil pores and moves through them more slowly. The aim of the research was therefore to evaluate the potential for some commercially available PAMs to reduce hydraulic conductivity and to increase water retention on some drip-irrigated coarse sandy soils of South Australia and Victoria. I worked with two commonly available anionic polyacrylamides, designated PAM-1011 and PAM-135, and measured ponded infiltration in laboratory columns of seven different sandy soils from around South Australia and Victoria. I varied the concentration of the polymer within the range typically used in the field (0, 1 and 10 ppm for PAM-1011; 0, 2.5 and 25 ppm for PAM-135) and I also varied the quality of the irrigation water used to mix the PAM solutions in terms of salinity and sodicity (distilled water, 10 and 20 mmol(+) salt/L, using either sodium chloride, calcium chloride, or both). I measured the effects of PAM on pore-size distribution of one of the sands (by the water retention characteristic), on water repellence of the soils (by measuring water droplet… Advisors/Committee Members: Murray, Rob (advisor), School of Earth and Environmental Sciences : Soil and Land Systems (school).

▼ Transition metal oxides have attracted growing attention over the last few decades because of rich physical properties they exhibit. Perovskite structure transition metal oxides AMO₃ are of particular interest to the design of functional materials in modern techniques, since a variety of ways can be used to tune the physical properties of AMO₃. Single crystals of Y₁₋ₓLaₓTiO₃ are grown by floating zone method to study the magnetic transition from ferromagnetic in YTiO₃ to G-type antiferromagnetic in LaTiO₃. Y₁₋ₓ LaₓTiO₃ shows similar magnetic phase diagram with RTiO₃ family, and the magnetism and the transition temperature can be finely tuned by varying the La doping x. By measuring the change of magnetic transition temperatures on single crystal samples under uniaxial stress, the correlation between the lattice distortions and the cooperative orbital ordering can be distinguished. Double perovskite CaMnTi₂O₆ is the first columnar A-site ordered perovskite exhibiting ferroelectric property. Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is used to successfully synthesize gram-level Ca₂₋ₓMnₓTi₂O₆, which has the same crystal structure and similar high-T [subscript c] ferroelectric property. Through neutron diffraction, the detailed information of the structure is obtained, and the driving force for ferroelectricity is identified. Inspired by the successful synthesis of double perovskite Ca₂₋ₓMnₓTi₂O₆, perovskites La₁₋ₓPrₓRuO₃ are obtained by SPS as well. The substitution of La by smaller rare earth ion Pr gives rise to the crossover from itinerant to localized electronic behavior. A systematical study of physical properties is made and an unusual second-order metal insulator transition is found in La₁₋ₓPrₓRuO₃. The A²⁺V₂O₄ spinels have the smallest gap caused by electron-electron correlations in the single-valent spinels, and the V-V bond length in these spinels decreases as the A-site cation is replaced by cations in the order of A = Cd, Mn, Fe, Mg, Zn, Co. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation and transport properties of CoV₂O₄ under pressure indicate that CoV₂O₄ might be at the crossover between localized electron and itinerant electronic behavior. In order to clarify this, the series of AV₂O₄ spinels (A = Cd, Mn, Fe, Mg, Zn, Co) are studied with in situ high-pressure x-ray and neutron diffraction at different temperatures.

In this thesis, the influence of moisture on selected physical, compressive and thermal properties of cocoa beans, shea and cashew nut and kernel were studied. Standard methodologies that have been accepted internationally and used by several researchers globally were used for the determination of the selected properties in moisture content ranges normally used for the postharvest processing of the selected crops. The results of moisture variationon physical properties of cocoa beans and cashew kernels such as 1000-bean mass,true density, porosity, emptying angle of reposeandstatic coefficient of friction showed increasing trends with linear relationships while bulk density decreased linearly for cocoa bean and cashew kernel samples. The compressive strain and Young’s Modulus for cocoa beans decreasedlinearly with moisture from 0.009 to 0.0045, and 1300 to 205 MPa respectively. However the compressive stress decreased exponentially with increasing moisture content from 1.5 -0.3 MPa while the crushing energy had more positive linear function with moisture content and increased from 0.013 -0.2 J. For shea kernel, compressive stress, compressive strain and Young’s Modulus decreased linearly from 2.0 -0.8MPa, 0.0085 -0.002mm/mm and 2000 –100MPa with increasingmoisture content. Crushing energy increased non-linearly from 0.005 -0.13mJ in the moisture content range of 5% -24% w.b. The compressive stress, strain, and Young’s modulus for the cashew kernel increased from 0.214 -1.214 MPa, 0.355 -0.472 mm/mm, and 2.446 -6.416 MPa respectively as moisture content increased from 5.0 -9.0% wb. Thermal conductivity increased linearly for groundcocoa beans sample from 0.0243-0.0311 W/oCm and for ground shea kernels from 0.0165 -0.0458 W/oCm in the moisturecontent range of 12.59 -43.84%w.b. at a constant bulk density of 295 kg/m3.Specific heat, thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity for ground cashew kernel were found to increase linearly from 1586 –1756J/kgº., 0.2103 -0.2296W/mK and 2.369×10-7-2.588×10-7m2/s with increasing moisture content from 5.0 -9.0% w.b.

▼ Essentially all agricultural lands globally are under pressure to meet the food demands of an additional 2 billion people over the next 20 years. All of the agroecosystems possess limitations that constrain their ability to optimize production, however, these limitations are magnified in semi-arid regions where permanent, seasonal or periodic moisture deficiency results in evaporation and transpiration rates that exceed precipitation. Traditional cultivation practices that utilize modern technology have resulted in substantial amounts of soil loss through wind and water erosion, decreased soil organic matter, reduction in soil water-holding capacity, and alterations to the microbial community composition. Cultivation also affects soil chemical processes and conditions (e.g., pH, cation exchange complexes, electric conductivity, and sodium adsorption ratio) that can lead to further soil degradation. Changes in one or more of these properties often have direct or indirect effects on the fertility of soils, which influence resiliency and soil health. While research has clearly established the most common modifications to soil systems from cultivation, further investigation is needed in semi-arid regions to identify the critical links between physical, chemical, and biological properties that regulate resiliency and soil degradation. In establishing these critical links, I evaluated the importance of parent material (basalt versus granite) in assessing the impacts on the physical, chemical, and biogeochemical soil properties as a function of cultivation, specifically sprinkler and flood irrigation. I also distinguished microbial community composition by parent material and land use and identified key soil properties that regulate changes in microbial community structure by sampling native and cultivated soils in the San Luis Valley (SLV), located in the South Central part of Colorado. The SLV is a high elevation semi-arid agroecosystem with basalt and granite substrates, that receives 177 mm of precipitation annually and the potential evapotranspiration that exceeds 1016 mm. The SLV has also has a 150-year history of irrigated agriculture practices, which add an additional 153 to 1226 mm of water during the growing season. This alters the natural climate and possibly results in some degree of land degradation. Overall, the results indicate the importance of parent material (basalt vs. granite), as a soil forming factor in assessing the impact of cultivation on soil degradation processes. The initial clay percent in the native soils was 20% for basalt and 18% for granite. The additional accumulation of clay from irrigation was slightly higher for basalt soil, (22%) and 20% for granite soils. Soils derived from basalt have greater quantities of the major cations while soils derived from granite have lower quantities and a poor nutrient status. Soils derived from basalt have greater percentage of soil organic carbon in the soil surface horizons than soils derived from granite.

▼ Biomass such as spent grain is difficult to dry when it is in the slurry form. Proposed industrial solutions are to compact wet biomass first and then dry it. Compaction develops desired granular form and increases surface area for drying but also brings new technical challenges. Superheated steam (SS) drying is advantageous over hot-air drying as it is more energy efficient. A problem associated SS drying is the initial condensation leading to disintegration of biomass compacts. The current research investigates the disintegration characteristics of distiller’s spent grain (DSG) compacts while being dried in SS. The study focuses on the DSG flowability, densification characteristics and disintegration behavior of DSG compacts as affected by SS drying conditions, soluble content and particle size distribution (PSD). DSG fractions with particle sizes from 300 to 850 µm were dried in SS at 150°C and hot-air at 45 and 150°C. Under these drying conditions bulk density and angle of repose (AOR) varied from 0.379 to 0.435 g/cm3 and 46.0 to 50.4°, respectively. The stress-relaxation data obtained during the compaction of DSG at different levels of compressive pressure (60.3-135.7 MPa), initial moisture content (15, 20 and 25% wet basis- wb) and soluble content (15 and 30%) were normalized and analyzed to determine the asymptotic modulus (EA) of the compacts. The highest EA of 174 MPa was obtained for DSG compacts produced with a compressive force of 135.7 MPa, initial moisture of 25% wb and soluble content of 0%. The percentage increase in volume of DSG compacts during drying in SS at 110 to 150°C temperature range was between 78 to 130%. A comparison between the physical properties of SS dried and hot-air dried compacts revealed the role of SS in accelerating the release of mechanical energy stored in the compacts. An increase of dimensions and a considerable increase in the hardness and EA of the compacts was obtained by adding up to 70% (w/w) solubles or by decreasing the PSD of wet distiller’s spent grain from d(0.9)=1283.6 to 812.8 µm. This study establishes that compaction of wet biomass followed by SS drying can lead to its effective utilization.

▼ The aim of this study is to assess properties of lesser used/known timbers from Mozambique. The studied species were ncurri (Icuria dunensis Wieringa), ntholo (Pseudolachnostylis maprounaefolia Pax), metil (Sterculia appendiculata K. Schum), namuno (Acacia nigrescens Oliv.) and muanga (Pericopsis angolensis Meeuwen). A comprehensive literature review found the Mozambique timber sector to be dominated by very few hardwood species while the rest of 118 lesser used wood species are almost unexplored. The above mentioned lesser used timbers were selected and subjected to descriptive and comparative analyses aiming at describing the physical-mechanical properties and natural durability with regard to prospective end uses. Standard test methods determined density, moisture content, dimensional stability characteristics, colour, natural durability and a number of mechanical properties of the selected lesser used timbers. The study revealed that ntholo and ncurri are heavy timbers with a density in the range of 850-1100 kg/m3 and very low dimensional changes. Metil is a medium light wood with an average density of 550 kg/m3 at 12% moisture content and a coefficient of anisotropy of 1.8 from green to oven-dry state. End use assessments suggest that the timbers of ntholo, muanga and namuno can be used in similar applications as the well known timbers, e.g. internal joineries, tool handles and furniture. Metil timber seems suitable for packaging boxes, plywood and construction purposes. In terms of natural durability, the results showed that heartwood of namuno, muanga and ntholo can be classified as very durable to deterioration and degradation caused by fungi and termites. These timbers showed good performance when untreated samples were exposed in- and above ground field tests providing a good indication of the expected service life and outdoor use features. Wood of metil was classified as non durable to any of the considered hazards and is not recommended for exterior uses unless treated with appropriate wood preservatives. The study determined ntholo timber mechanical properties and examined interrelationships with density and anatomical features of ntholo through regression and correlation analyses. The study found ntholo to be a very dense timber with high mechanical strength in comparison to well known timbers. The regression analyses show that both ntholo sapwood and heartwood densities are poor predictors for the tested mechanical properties, although may provide some indication of tested properties. All tested properties of ntholo sapwood were influenced mainly by ground tissue proportions, while heartwood properties were described by more leveled anatomical predictors. Fiber length was the only anatomical feature significantly correlated to density and all tested mechanical properties of ntholo. The number of vessels/mm2 and % vessels were not significantly correlated to any of the measured properties but appeared to be key anatomical features for predictions under regression analysis. The integrated analysis of…

▼ The aim of this work was to evaluate and model the water absorption process of corn grain submitted to soaking process at different levels of mechanical damage at different temperatures, as well to determinate and model its mechanical behavior during the process. Behavior of some physical properties was investigated in function of moisture content. Corn grain of AG 1510 variety were utilized, with initial moisture content of 0.142 (decimal d.b.) obtained at a small producer from Viçosa (MG) city area. Different mechanical damage levels were induced at grains, correlating with electrical conductivity. At soaking process, solution of 0.2 % of sulfur dioxide (SO2 ) and 0.55 % of lactic acid (C3H6O3) in distilled water were used, referring to wet milling conventional process of corn grain, at temperatures of (40, 50, 60 and 70) C and mechanical damage levels analyzed indirectly through electrical conductivity of (2.847, 14.077, 22.261, 29.194 and 32.971) μS cm-1 g-1. Soaking process modeling was performed by Pelegs model. Effective diffusivity coefficient to hydration process of corn grain was obtained through observed data adjustment of liquid diffusivity model based on Ficks second law, and its relationship with temperature was described by Arrhenius equation. Bulk and real densities, porosity, circularity, sphericity and volumetric expansion were evaluated to corn grain without induced mechanical damage (witness) in function of moisture content. Mechanical properties were also determined: force to a specific deformation of 0.001 m, proportional deformity modulus, deformation energy and resilient modulus, evaluating the force-deformation curve, to different moisture content and physical damage levels. Was concluded, according to obtained results: (a) structural alterations caused by induced mechanical damage at corn grain altered product water absorption rates; (b) Pelegs model adequately adjusted to observed data to entire conditions utilized; (c) effective diffusivity coefficients values increased with temperature and damage level increase, presenting magnitudes between (2.403 × 10-10 and 19.220 × 10-10) m2 s-1; (d) activation energy referred to water diffusivity of corn grain varied from (14.533 to 28.366) kJ mol-1, being that higher values is correlated to higher product physical integrity; (e) porosity increased linearly until achieve a certain level, and its behavior was described by a bi-segmented model. Bulk and real densities varied by a quadratic relation, where by values decreased until attain a minimal value, increasing afterwards. Circularity and sphericity of corn grain didnt varied with moisture content; (f) Unit volumetric expansion was best represented by Rahmans model. None of the conventional models used to predict volumetric variation of agricultural products adjusted satisfactorily to apparent volumetric expansion observed data of corn grain, therefore a new model was proposed; (g) The mechanical properties evaluated decreased significantly only with regard to moisture content variation.… Advisors/Committee Members: Paulo Roberto Cecon, Mauri Martins Teixeira, José Antonio Marques Pereira, Paulo César Correa, Sergio Mauricio Lopes Donzeles, Alexandre Gurgel, Márcio Arêdes Martins.

O sucesso do tratamento endodôntico a longo prazo depende do preparo químico mecânico e também da obturação dos sistemas de canais radiculares, que tem como objetivo prover o preenchimento de forma tridimensional com um material inerte. Um cimento endodôntico ideal deve ser biocompatível, ter tempo de presa adequado, estabilidade dimensional, união à dentina, baixa solubilidade, fácil manuseio e ser radiopaco. Para estabelecer um padrão nas pesquisas de materiais odontológicos algumas especificações são determinadas pela ISO e ANSI/ADA, onde são determinados os testes a serem realizados para cada tipo de material a ser avaliado. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar as propriedades físico-químicas de um novo cimento à base de silicato de cálcio tendo como fonte de comparação um cimento à base de resina epóxi. Para a avaliação do pH e liberação de cálcio, tubos de polietileno de 1mm de diâmetro interno e 10 mm de comprimento foram preenchidos com os cimentos e imersos em 10 ml de água deionizada. Após os períodos experimentais de 1, 24, 72 e 168 horas as amostras foram avaliadas quanto ao pH e a liberação de cálcio em um medidor de pH e espectrofotômetro colorimétrico respectivamente. Na análise da radiopacidade, solubilidade e tempo de presa foram confeccionados anéis com 10mm de diâmetro e 1mm de espessura do cimento; o valor da radiopacidade foi determinado de acordo com a densidade radiográfica (mm Al). Para a solubilidade os espécimes foram imersos em 50ml de água destilada por 7 dias, onde foi aferida a massa inicial (antes da imersão) e a final (após a imersão e desumidificação). A avaliação do tempo de presa foi realizada com agulhas Gilmore de 100g e 456,3g. O escoamento foi realizado com base na ISO 6876:2001. Os dados foram analisados por análise de variância e teste de Tukey (P<0,05). Os resultados encontrados nesse estudo, para valores de pH e Ca- foram significativamente maiores para o cimento Biosealer quando comparados ao AH Plus (P<0,05). Nos testes de escoamento, radiopacidade e tempo de presa o cimento biocerâmico demonstrou valores inferiores ao AH Plus (P<0,05). O Biosealer demonstrou uma alta solubilidade comparativamente ao AH Plus (P<0,05). É lícito concluir que, o cimento Biosealer demonstrou boas propriedades físico-químicas tais como; pH, liberação de cálcio, escoamento, radiopacidade e tempo de presa. Essa nova formulação de cimento endodôntico apresentou uma maior solubilidade do que a prevista na ISO 6876:2012.

▼ The south east of Tasmania produces a large proportion of Australian packet salad. Intensive production with frequent cultivation on sandy clay loam soils has resulted in severe erosion, with soil crusting and low irrigation efficiency. Crust formation is common on cultivated soils, occurring in a wide variety of soil types, climates and agricultural practices. Soil crusts form as a thin, dense, low hydraulic conductivity layer on the soil surface that reduces infiltration, increases runoff and restricts seedling emergence. The objective of this study was to: (i) evaluate different approaches for measuring aggregate stability and the severity of soil crusting, (ii) identify mechanisms responsible for aggregate breakdown and crust formation, (iii) identify which soil properties contribute to aggregate stability/instability, (iv) evaluate options for reducing soil crusting, and (v) quantify the physical properties of soil crusts. Soil samples were collected from 20 sites over five farms all managed for packet salad production. Aggregate stability was measured by rainfall simulation, wet sieving, ultrasonic vibration (dry and moist aggregates) and clay dispersion (dry aggregates). The mechanisms responsible for aggregate breakdown were investigated by comparing the effect of different wetting fluids on dry aggregate stability. Chemical, mineralogical and physical soil characteristics were measured to identify the soil properties related to aggregate stability/instability. The different methods by which aggregate stability were measured were poorly correlated with each other. This suggested that each approach applied a different type of disruptive energy to the aggregates such that the method of assessment needs to be matched to the type by field soils. Aggregate breakdown largely resulted from slaking by clay swelling and raindrop impact, and to a lesser extent clay dispersion and air compression. Aggregate stability determined by rainfall simulation was highly correlated with soil properties that promote aggregation such as the effective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) and the proportion of polyvalent cations, whilst aggregate stability determined by wet sieving was highly correlated with soil properties that promote disaggregation such as sand content and to lesser extent, the proportion monovalent cations especially exchangeable K. Two experiments were undertaken to evaluate the potential of commercially available products to reduce soil crusting. A preliminary experiment evaluated 11 products, with the four most effective products included in a second experiment. The second experiment compared application of paper waste, gypsum, phosphoric acid and wire mesh, at three different rates and various combinations. Soil chemical and physical properties were monitored over 71 days to understanding how soil crust developed and what changes in soil physical properties occurred over time. Paper waste and gypsum significantly reduced the severity of soil crusting relative to the control. However, these reductions in crusting…

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this study 1345 pieces of 38x114 mm timber sawn from 16-20 year-old Pinus patula trees were obtained from a wide variety of sites along the Mpumalanga escarpment in South Africa. The samples were tested for various mechanical and physical properties. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the variation in the bending strength, tension strength, and stiffness of the sawn timber, (2) to assess the efficiency of the current visual and mechanical grading rules on this sample, and (3) to evaluate the potential of some indicator properties to be used as structural grading parameters on this resource. A large number of non-destructive measurements were performed on all the samples, including scanning of the boards with a commercial X-ray density scanner, moisture content measurement, growth ring measurements, warp measurement, acoustic frequency measurement and measurement of the stiffness using a mechanical grader. The data from the X-ray density scanner was used to calculate a number of knot-related variables for each board. Visual grading according to the SANS 1783-2 (2005) specifications for structural timber was performed by a certified grader on all the boards. The timber was divided into two groups for destructive testing, one group each for bending and tension tests. Tests were conducted according to the SANS 6122 (1994) method for in-grade testing. Due to the sampling method followed, the destructive tests effectively used a random placement of defects with regard to the load application position. From the destructive tests the modulus of elasticity (MOEedge), bending strength (MOR) and tensile strength were determined. The study showed that the MOEedge of the sawn timber was far below the requirements of the current national standard (SANS 10163-1) for all of the visual and mechanical grades. The mean MOEedge of the visually graded S5 timber was about 30% lower than required. The 5th percentile values for bending strength of all the visual and mechanical grades were above the required values of SANS 10163-1. The 5th percentile values for tensile strength of all the visual and mechanical grades were similar to that required by the SANS 10163-1 standard. Correlations between flatwise measured MOE (MOEflat) and edgewise measured MOE (MOEedge) were smaller than expected, as well as the correlations between both MOEedge and MOEflat with MOR. Dynamic MOE (MOEdyn), calculated from acoustic frequency tests on the timber, was found to be the best single predictor of MOEedge, MOR and tension strength. Multiple regression analysis showed that a combination of MOEdyn, density and knot parameters can be used to improve the predictability of some of the strength and stiffness characteristics of the timber. It is recommended that a comprehensive study on the structural grading of SA Pine be performed which includes (1) an analysis of market requirements in terms of strength and stiffness properties of timber, (2) in-grade testing of a representative sample of structural timber in South… Advisors/Committee Members: Wessels, Brand, University of Stellenbosch.

▼ Successful continuous or semi-continuous profile forming of wood-strand composites requires development of the underpinning science, including a suitable binding system, forming defect management, and process-property relationships. A hybrid resin to stabilize the wood-strand preforms for subsequent profile forming and curing was devised using a mixture of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) and phenol formaldehyde (PF) resins. This study examined the influence of PVAc on the cure kinetics of PF with differential scanning calorimetry. Results show that the cure kinetics of PF blended with PVAc does not differ significantly from neat PF resin for blend ratios of 1 or lower. The nth-order Borchardt Daniels model provided good prediction for the curing of adhesive system with a PVAc/PF ratio lower than 1 and neat PF resin. This blended resin system can potentially be used for continuous or semi-continuous profile forming of wood-strand composites.To gain an initial understanding, the complex state of deformations in wood-strand preforms during profiling forming was studied using single-curvature bending. Three failure types were identified based on the primary failure mechanisms in bending, buckling and shear slip. The initial failure in bending was predicted with a strength-based model with the goal of minimizing defects, such as buckling. A relationship between preform conditions, forming defects and thickness recovery was established.Profile-formed wood-strand composites showed much better shape conformance than profiled veneer-based composites. Slow closing rate and relatively high moisture content caused flat and peak-at-core vertical density profiles (VDP). Lower moisture content resulted in more uniform VDP.The internal stress state in the bend of the profile-formed V-specimens was determined with elastic curved beam theory. Delamination, dominated by radial stress, was the initial failure mode. The Chang-Springer failure criterion was used to determine the initiation of delamination failure within the bend of the V-specimens on roller support. V-specimens tested on pin support yielded greater bending strength than those on roller support. These support conditions provide lower and upper bounds for stresses in the bend of the specimen for some applications. This study adds to the limited knowledge base of profile forming of wood-strand composites and provides an insight into process-property relationships.

▼ As many of the dairy powders manufactured have to travel long distances to reach their customers, both domestically and internationally, there is considerable interest among dairy powder manufacturers to maintain the quality of their products for relatively long storage periods. Dairy powders can have a long shelf life if packaged and stored properly. Vacuum packaging can be an attractive packaging strategy to maintain the quality of dairy powders and provide added value by improving the efficiency of using the storage space; because of the inherent compactness of these products. Vacuum packaged dry dairy ingredients may also have added ease of handling for end users. However, little is known about the impact of vacuum packaging on the physical properties of dry dairy ingredients. The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of vacuum packaging over 12 months storage on particle size, particle density, bulk density, tapped density, flowability, compressibility, color, moisture content, surface morphology, and solubility of six types of dairy powders. In addition, the effect of dairy ingredients type was also assessed. Commercial samples of nonfat dry milk powder, whole milk powder, buttermilk powder, milk protein Isolate, whey protein concentrate#80, and sweet whey powder were repackaged in duplicate using multi-wall foil side gusseted bags under varying degrees of vacuum (1, 0.7, 0.4 bar) and a control with no vacuum, then stored for 3, 6, and 12 months at 25°C and 60% relative humidity. Each powder was sampled and analyzed in duplicate for all the above listed quality attributes, upon receiving the powder and after 3, 6, and 12 months of storage. Moreover, the effect of vacuum packaging on storage space was evaluated comparing three different models; Model (1) represented a 25 kg bag of atmospheric packaged non fat dry milk with the actual dimensions of a commercial 25 kg bag of non fat dry milk. Model (2), a hypothetical model, represented a 25 kg bag of vacuum packaged non fat dry milk with a length and a width equal to those of model (1). Model (3), another hypothetical model, also represented a 25 kg bag of vacuum packaged non fat dry milk with a length equal to half of a pallet width and a width equal to one third of a pallet length, in order to achieve the highest pallet efficiency possible. The pallet used for all three models was considered to be a (48 × 40) pallet. The height of models 2 and 3 was allowed to reflect the bulk reduction effect of vacuum packaging and was determined based on the weight, density and the known dimensions of the bags. It is important to note that the density of models 2 and 3 was assumed to be equal to the density of a small bag of nonfat dry milk. The saved space per bag and pallet efficiency of vacuum packaging and atmospheric packaging were compared using the three models described above. Physical properties analyses of the dairy powders revealed statistically significant effect of vacuum pressure on only color values: L-, a-, and b but none… Advisors/Committee Members: Phillip S.

M. Sc.

The substitution series CeCu5−xAlx where x 2 {1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4} was synthesized and characterized via x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope analysis. All the compounds formed single phase in the P6/mmm hexagonal crystal structure, which pushed the solubility limit of Al within this structure from CeCu3Al2 to CeCu2.6Al2.4. The ascast samples were annealed, but the annealing process had no visible effect on the crystalline nature nor on the physical properties of the samples. The electric, magnetic and thermal properties were measured on Quantum Design’s Physical Properties Measurement System and Magnetic Properties Measurement System. The electrical resistivity showed single-ion Kondo scattering at intermediate temperatures with no signs of coherence for x 2 {1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3} CeCu2.6Al2.4 on the other hand showed a weak maximum at 2 K, which was the onset of antiferromagnetic ordering confirmed by other measurements. The magnetoresistance was fitted by the Beth´e ansatz spin-1/2 model and the obtained Kondo temperatures had a maximum at CeCu3Al2, with linear dependencies on Al concentration on either side of this point. The Kondo moments followed an exponential dependence on the Al concentration, but these effective moments were far lower than the free-ion value, due to the Kondo interaction. The thermal conductivity in this series was phonon dominated with the magnitude of the electronic component being inversely proportional to the Kondo temperature, showing the effect that the Kondo scattering mechanism has on the availability of the conduction electrons to participate in heat transport. The magnitude of the peak in the thermoelectric power S(T) was strongly dependent on the Al concentration, having a maximum at CeCu2.8Al2.2. Below the peak there were two temperature dependencies: S(T) / T for x 2 {1.0, 1.5, 2.4} which is metallic and for x 2 {2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3} S(T)/T /−ln(T) which is characteristic of a quantum critical point. The data were also fitted with a phenomenological model and the obtained Kondo temperatures were quantitatively similar to those obtained from the Beth´e ansatz. The heat capacity Cp(T) data confirmed these compounds to be heavy fermions and also showed Cp(T)/T /−ln(T) below 10 K, which is the hallmark for a magnetically tuned quantum critical point. The magnetic susceptibility showed a Curie-Weiss temperature dependence at temperatures above 100 K, with magnetic moments close to the free-ion value, indicating the presence of localized magnetic moments. The low temperature data found (T) /−ln(T) for Al concentrations near CeCu3Al2 and the ordering present in CeCu2.6Al2.4 was suppressed by 0.3 K in going from 0.01 T to 2 T, suggesting that the ground state is antiferromagnetic in this compound.

▼ The objective of the study was to determine the most appropriate methods of initial land preparations in Afram Plains based on their effect on selected soil physical properties such as dry bulk density, porosity, hydraulic conductivity and available water content. The study also sought to estimate the cost of preparing farm lands in the Afram Plains. The study was conducted in Odumesua in the Afram Plains District sampling soil from fields prepared with three identified and categorized systems of land preparations. These were Slash and Burnt cleared land with no-tillage (SBNT), manually cleared land with conventional tillage (MCT) and bulldozed land with conventional tillage (BCT). The soil properties were determined at 0-40cm depths at intervals of 10 cm for analysis. Financial cost of these land preparation methods was also estimated from machinery input cost derivatives and information gathered from local farmers. Dry bulk density, porosity and hydraulic conductivity were significantly (at p ≤ 0.005 level) affected by the land preparations methods. At different depths of sampling, hydraulic conductivity was not significantly (at p ≤ 0.005 level) affected. However, available water content was not significantly affected by both factors (land preparation methods and depth of sampling). Dry bulk density at 1.5g/cm3 reduced by 3% and 16% in MCT and BCT respectively compared with the UNCULTIVATED and SBNT. The results showed that agricultural lands prepared by bulldozing or stumps excavation and conventional tillage operations (BCT) was most appropriate using fertile agricultural soil indicators of soil physical properties. The results also indicated that it costs three times more in preparing lands employing heavy tractors like the bulldozer compared to the traditional methods of using human labour with simple tools Advisors/Committee Members: Abenney- Mickson, S (advisor), University of Ghana, College of Basic and Applied Sciences, School of Engineering, Department of Agricultural Engineering (advisor).

The coffee is one of the main item of exportation together, with the sugar and the cotton. Organic agriculture became a market in expansion, with great perspectives for the producer. The organic coffee is a differentiated product, of bigger added value, whose market has grown and if fortified throughout the years. Although the coffee to be an old culture, studies on its physical properties are limited and dispersed. The knowledge of the physical characteristics of the products harvested in Brazil is essential for the project, construction and operation of cleanness equipment, drying, classification, storage and industrialization, as well as for the existing equipment adaptation already aiming at to the biggest income and rationalization of energy use. In such a way, this work had as objective to determine some physical properties of grains of organic and conventional coffee. Sphericity and circularity, granular specific mass, porosity and terminal speed had been determined. The work was lead in the laboratories of the UNIOESTE -Cascavel. They had been used supreme of organic and conventional coffee (Coffea arabica, L.) in the stadium coconut, gotten next to the Emater. From the gotten results, it can be concluded that the measure of the ortogonals axles did not present significant difference, when comparative the varieties and the types of treatments. Fruits of coffee in the types organic and conventional and the variety, had not presented difference in the circularity determination. The found values of apparent and real specific mass had been similar to the described ones for other authors, however, comparing the organic coffee with the conventional, it did not have difference of values. The CatuaÃ variety organic treatment, presented greater average value of porosity, however significant difference between organic and conventional coffee in the two analyzed varieties was not observed. The organic treatments had presented, in the determination of terminal speed, values about 9% superiors to the conventionals

A madeira é um material de origem biológica, renovável, com papel importante no ciclo do carbono, que contribui para o desenvolvimento sustentável. As madeiras tropicais brasileiras são apreciadas na indústria da construção civil em peças estruturais, componentes de edificação e mobiliário. A melhor utilização da matéria-prima nos diversos processos depende do conhecimento das suas propriedades, e nesse aspecto, os estudos sobre estabilidade dimensional são escassos, em sua maioria, desenvolvidos para coníferas do hemisfério Norte. Este trabalho tem como objetivo geral aprofundar o estudo da estabilidade dimensional, trabalhando com propriedades físicas de madeiras tropicais brasileiras, com ênfase nas densidades, ponto de saturação das fibras, retratibilidade e inchamento. Utilizando madeira de quinze espécies tropicais brasileiras, foram realizados ensaios, de acordo com a NBR 7190/97 para determinar: densidade aparente 0% e 12% de umidade, densidade básica, ponto de saturação das fibras, retração, inchamento, coeficiente de anisotropia, coeficiente de retratibilidade volumétrica e coeficiente de inchamento volumétrico. Investigaram-se as relações entre as propriedades determinadas de modo a poder inferir sobre: a estabilidade dimensional baseando-se nas densidades; as precisões de relações desenvolvidas em pesquisas correlatas. Além disso, foi desenvolvida (e investigada sua precisão, ao nível de significância 5%) uma relação entre densidade básica e densidade aparente via retratibilidade/inchamento. De acordo com os resultados, o melhor coeficiente de determinação ajustado atingido na tentativa de relacionar densidades com os parâmetros da estabilidade dimensional foi 19,58% indicando que a densidade não é um bom estimador da estabilidade dimensional da madeira. Algumas das relações desenvolvidas em pesquisas correlatas não foram consideradas válidas, de acordo com a análise estatística. Para a relação desenvolvida no presente trabalho, embora a mesma apresente média e coeficiente de variação próximos aos dos resultados experimentais, a análise de representatividade não confirmou sua significância.

Wood is an organic and renewable material, with important role in carbon cycle, which contributes to sustainable development. Brazilian tropical woods are considered in building industry in structural ant other components and in furniture. The better use of raw materials in different processes depends on knowledge of their properties and, in this respect, studies of dimensional stability are scarce, mostly developed for Northern Hemisphere conifers. This work aims to extend the study of dimensional stability, now working with physical properties of Brazilian tropical woods, emphasizing densities, fiber saturation point; shrinkage and swelling. Using wood of fifteen Brazilian tropical species, tests were carried out, according to NBR 7190/97 to determine: density (0% and 12% moisture content); basic density; fiber saturation point; shrinkage; swelling; anisotropy coefficient; volumetric shrinkage coefficient; and…
