Full textA ArcelorMittal Usina de Monlevade começou a estudar o processo de aglomeração a frio HPS (Hybrid Pelletized Sinter) a partir do ano de 2000 devido à semelhança entre a distribuição granulométrica do minério de ferro sinter-feed Andrade e a mistura de minérios utilizada pela NKK Co. No início do ano de 2002 a planta do HPS já estava entrando em regime de operação na Usina de Monlevade consumindo 100% do sinter-feed Andrade. Diferenças nas características das matérias-primas levaram a uma distorção do processo HPS na ArcelorMittal Monlevade em relação ao processo original da NKK Co, chegando a não ser possível em Monlevade a realização da etapa de recobrimento de combustível conforme previsto no projeto original. Nesta dissertação elaborou-se um minucioso estudo sobre a contribuição das matérias-primas na aglomeração a frio nas etapas do misturador e do disco de pelotização do HPS, visando criar condições para resgatar o recobrimento do combustível nas quase-partículas semelhante ao HPS original conforme idealizado pela equipe da NKK Co, atualmente JFE Steel Japão. Assim, foi possível observar a importância da cal virgem na aglomeração a frio, permitindo, após a adequação granulométrica desta, um ganho expressivo no tamanho médio da quase-partícula e na produtividade da sinterização. Outras mudanças executadas foram na distribuição granulométrica das matériasprimas: calcário, serpentinito e minério de manganês aumentando a quantidade das frações mais finas, mas mantendo-se as mesmas características do minério de ferrosinter-feed Andrade. Os ensaios em laboratório e testes industriais demonstraram a relevância dos resultados obtidos, causando impacto positivo na performance do processo HPS na Usina de Monlevade.

Full textEste estudo foi montado através de avaliação de matérias-primas alternativas nacionais (que juntamente com outros carvões minerais componentes da mistura, possam produzir um coque de qualidade requerida em altos-fornos com altas taxas de produtividade).Foram feitas caracterizações de carvões individuais e das misturas elaboradas, como também análise completa do coque produzido usando um forno de escala piloto (Modelo da 'Carbolite Furnace' para a Gerdau Açominas de 250kg de capacidade) pelo processo normal e pelo processo com compactação de carga 'stamp charging', e foram usados o coque verde petróleo da REGAP (Petrobrás) e carvão oriundo de Santa Catarina. As misturas foram montadas através de um modelo matemático de otimização nas quais foram levadas como premissa a qualidade do coque para alto-forno da Gerdau Açominas, e estas contemplaram até 30% desses insumos a serem testados. Os resultados foram avaliados e concluiu-se que para o processo de coqueificação convencional sem 'stamp charging' é possível usar na mistura até 10% de matéria-prima nacional não coqueificável, e para o processo que tenha compactação de carga essa proporção é elevada para 30%, para se ter um coque com qualidade desejável para um alto-forno de alta produtividade como o da Gerdau Açominas.

Full textThe texts of the Quarrel about Women, which were very popular in sixteenth century France, tried to prove the superiority or the inferiority of women depending on which side of the debate the writer belonged to. The works of Marguerite de Navarre incorporate numerous arguments of this literary debate to deconstruct them and establish a certain balance between the qualities and the defaults of men and women. Contrary to the writers of the Quarrel who were using as examples women from the Bible or the Antiquity, the Queen of Navarre's works portray mainly characters from daily life in situations that illustrate the way the two sexes use speech differently.
Thus, in the religious poems, women communicate more quickly with the divine because they listen more to their heart which is the receptacle of God. Indeed, the only obstacle that stands between them and mystical union resides in a too strong attachment to a human being, whereas men encounter more hindrances linked, among others, to ambition, science and lust. As for profane poems, they highlight the value of feminine friendship by presenting a free and equal verbal exchange, among women only, based on mutual aid. In the Heptameron, men, in the novellas, hold a greater power than women and it is mirrored in the efficiency of their prise de parole, while there is a certain equality, in the cornice, between the devisants of both sexes. Finally, in the theater, women as well as men deliver God's Word.
Speech which constitutes the most important meeting ground for men and women, in Marguerite's writings, demonstrates how the main criticism directed at women by the detractors of the Quarrel, their unstoppable and slanderous chattering, as well as many other faults are rejected by using examples of women that speak wisely. This makes Marguerite de Navarre's writings modern, because while they deconstruct the binary opposition of man versus woman, with everyday life examples, they do not propose to establish a new hierarchy and thus they are open to plurality.

Full text“Proteinaceous infectious particles”, or prions, are self-perpetuating alternate conformations of proteins that are responsible for heritable non-Mendelian traits in mammals, filamentous fungi and yeast. On a more general note, protein misfolding and aggregation is at the origin of over forty protein folding disorders including devastating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or Huntington’s diseases. The aggregated proteins responsible for these diseases (i.e. amyloid-β peptide/tau, α-synuclein and huntingtin) were shown to propagate from cell to cell in a prion-like manner. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae hosts many prion or prion-like proteins, unrelated in sequence and function, which proved to be excellent models for understanding the dynamics of prion aggregation and distribution upon cell division.Sup35p and Ure2p which cause the [PSI+] and [URE3] heritable traits, respectively, stand out as the most studied and best characterized yeast prions to date. A plethora of cellular factors, mostly belonging to various molecular chaperone families, were shown to affect yeast prion formation and propagation. Clearance of protein aggregates and prion particles is however poorly understood and documented. Our laboratory showed that the 26S proteasome degrades both the soluble and prion-associated fibrillar forms of Sup35p. In the first part of my thesis, we investigated the role of the 26S proteasome in the degradation of the soluble and fibrillar forms of Ure2p. We found that, as with Sup35p, the 26S proteasome is able to degrade the soluble native Ure2p, generating an array of amyloidogenic N-terminal peptides and a C-terminal fragment which is resistant to proteolysis. The N-terminal prion domain was shown to act as a degron required for proteasomal engagement and degradation. In contrast to Sup35p, fibrillar Ure2p resisted proteasomal degradation. We expect the structural variability within prion assemblies in a cellular context to dictate their interaction with proteolytic machineries in general and the proteasome in particular.The biology of yeast prions has been mostly explored in the context of logarithmically dividing cells. In nature however, most cells are generally in a post-mitotic non-dividing quiescent state. Yet little is known about the fate and properties of prion particles upon yeast cells entry into the stationary or quiescent states and the physiological consequences of harboring these prions throughout the lifespan of yeast cells. In the second part of my thesis, we addressed this issue using the [PSI+] prion as a model. Structurally different conformers of Sup35p aggregates can lead to distinct [PSI+] strains with different prion phenotypes. We found that Sup35p prion particles undergo growth phase-dependent ultrastructural and functional changes. Indeed, the size distributions of SDS-resistant core-prion particles significantly change during growth without affecting the structural information specific to each prion strain. The infectious properties of Sup35p prion particles undergo dramatic growth phase-dependent changes. Importantly, we found that while [PSI+] has little to no effects on the growth rates of yeasts, it robustly prolongs their chronological lifespan. Furthermore, this beneficial effect can then be permanently and efficiently fixed in the cells even when [PSI+] is subsequently lost. Similar genetic fixation of [PSI+]-induced epigenetic characteristics were previously observed and suggested [PSI+] (and possibly other prions) can act as transient evolutionary capacitators

"God, saint, and priest : a comparison of mediatory modes in Roman Catholicism and Śrīvaiṣṇavism with special reference to the council of Trent and the Yatīndramatadīpikā." Thesis, McGill University, 2002. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=82942.
Full textImages of the full presence of God, namely the eucharistic host in Roman Catholicism and the arcavatara in Srivaiṣṇavism, mediate this full presence either through the transformation of substance (as in Roman Catholicism) or through the appearance of materiality and limited form (in Srivaiṣṇavism). Saints and alvars can also be regarded as images or mediatory modes; the saint embodies and mediates Christ's presence, becoming "as if" Christ. This presence is manifested not only in the saint's life but in his or her relics as well. The alvar is regarded as an aṁsa or partial incarnation, thus manifesting a part of God, most notably His ornaments, weapons and companions.
A specific comparison of Mary and Aṇṭaḷ/Sri will further highlight the dialectic of presence and absence in addition to pointing out their unique status within their respective traditions. A comparison of priests and acaryas will show mediation in living images. Priests become "as if" Christ through their ordination, and are seen to embody him particularly in specific ritual acts. The acarya functions in much the same way as Aṇṭaḷ/Sri, mediating between God and the believer as an aṁsa or partial incarnation.
Different theological conceptions of God and incarnation result in the different understandings of mediation and the different ways that the two traditions deal with the dialectic of presence and absence. Images in both traditions also bring to light an "as if" conception in the mind of the believer; saints and priests function "as if" Christ and the various images in Srivaiṣṇaavism appear "as if" material or "as if" human, thus allowing them to mediate the divine presence to the community.

Cette thèse analyse la relation entre les pratiques policières quotidiennes et la conformation avec la police militaire de l'Etat de São Paulo, responsable pour mantenir l’ordre. Issu d’entretiens et d’analyses de données officielles, le présent travail cherche à comprendre comment les policiers, lors de leurs opérations, sélectionnent les personnes qui subiront les actions de la police et, par conséquent, celles du système de justice criminelle. Partant de là, il a été possible de comprendre, de manière plus particulier, quels sont les publics et les crimes les plus surveillés par les policiers militarisés et, d'une manière globale, les caractéristiques du modèle de police ostensible de São Paulo. L'objectif des opérations policières ostensibles est de prendre en flagrant délit des suspects criminels, ce qui confère à la Police Militaire la responsabilité de sélectionner et « d’expulser » des rues tous ceux que les policiers identifient comme des criminels. Cela autorise la Police Militaire à avoir recours notamment à trois actions : a) l’arrestation ou b) l’élimination des personnes identifiées comme des criminelles et c) le « bon sens » du policier en tant qu’outil pour distinguer les criminels et les « bons citoyens ». Une des conclusions de cette recherche repose sur le constat d’un ample usage du « bon sens » policier lors des opérations de vigilance ostensible, ainsi que de son aspect racial. De ce fait, le « bon sens » policier, au même titre que la létalité et les arrestations, est devenu le responsable de l’accumulation de désavantages pour la population jeune et noire, en ce qui concerne le droit à la vie en sécurité ; en effet on observe que ce groupe risque beaucoup plus d’aller en prison que le reste de la population. De plus, nous avons constaté que pendant les vingt dernières années la politique sécuritaire menée dans São Paulo s’est focalisé sur le type de vigilance ostensible décrit ci-dessus, et ce en dépit de l’échec de l’opération pour ce qui concerne la diminution du nombre de crimes contre les biens à São Paulo.
This thesis analyzes the relation between daily police practices and the conformation with ostensible policing run by the Military Police of São Paulo State. This work started from interviews and analysis of official data to understand how the Military Police, during the ostensible policing, selects the people who will suffer the police approach and therefore the prosecution of the criminal justice system. Thenceforth it was possible to understand specifically which public and which crimes were most closely watched by the military police and, in an embracing way, the characteristics of the São Paulo ostensible policing model. The purpose of ostensible policing is to catch criminal suspects, implying to the Military Police the responsibility to select and remove from the streets those who the police itself identifies as “bandits”. It is also observed that this framework does not configure a public security policy, but a crime and violence management, marked by the "war" against certain types of crimes that are available to the Military Police, especially with three features: a) imprisonment; b) elimination of those identified as “bandits”, and c) the “police scent” as a differentiation tool to identify "bandits" and "good citizens". One of the study highlights is that the wide use of the “police scent” by the military police which has racial aspects in its composition added to the lethality and imprisonment, became responsible for the accumulation of disadvantages for the young black population, referring to the right to secure life and a higher risk of being arrested for property offenses in relation to the rest of the population. In all, it became clear that in the last twenty years there is an insistence from the state public security in an ostensible policing with such characteristics, even in the face of failure in the decrease of numbers of property offenses in the state of São Paulo.
A tese analisa a articulação entre práticas policiais cotidianas e a conformação do policiamento ostensivo militarizado protagonizado pela Polícia Militar. O presente trabalho partiu de entrevistas e análise de dados oficiais da segurança pública paulista para compreender como os policiais, durante o policiamento ostensivo, selecionam as pessoas que sofrerão as investidas da polícia e, por conseguinte, do sistema de justiça criminal. A partir daí foi possível entender, de forma específica, quais são os públicos e os crimes mais vigiados pelos policiais militares e, de forma abrangente, as características do modelo de policiamento ostensivo paulista. Constatou-se que o objetivo do policiamento ostensivo é flagrar suspeitos criminais, o que incute à PM a responsabilidade de selecionar e “retirar” das ruas aqueles que os policiais identificam como “bandidos”. Para tal estão disponíveis à PM, sobretudo, três recursos: a) o aprisionamento ou b) a eliminação daqueles identificados como bandidos e c) o tirocínio policial enquanto ferramenta para diferenciar “bandidos” e “cidadãos de bem”. Uma das conclusões da pesquisa é a constatação da ampla utilização do tirocínio pelos policiais que atuam no policiamento ostensivo e de seu aspecto racializado; isto significa que, para a fundamentação da suspeita policial, são utilizados marcadores raciais. Desta forma, o tirocínio, ao lado da letalidade policial e do aprisionamento se tornaram responsáveis pelo acúmulo de desvantagens para a população jovem e negra, no que tange ao direito à vida segura e a um maior risco de serem presos por crimes patrimoniais em relação ao restante da população. No mais, constatou-se que nos últimos vinte anos há uma insistência por parte da segurança pública paulista num policiamento ostensivo com tais características, mesmo diante do insucesso na diminuição no número de crimes patrimoniais no estado de São Paulo.

Daly, Marwa El. "Challenges and potentials of channeling local philanthropy towards development and aocial justice and the role of waqf (Islamic and Arab-civic endowments) in building community foundations." Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Philosophische Fakultät III, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/16511.
Full textThis work provides a solid theoretical base on philanthropy, religious giving (Islamic zakat, ‘ushour, Waqf -plural: awqaf-, Sadaqa and Christian tithes or ‘ushour), and their implications on giving trends, development work, social justice philanthropy. The field study (quantitative and qualitative) that supports the theoretical framework reflects at a national level the Egyptian public’s perceptions on philanthropy, social justice, human rights, giving and volunteering and other concepts that determine the peoples’ civic engagement. The statistics cover 2000 households, 200 Civil Society Organizations distributed all over Egypt and interviews donors, recipients, religious people and other stakeholders. The numbers reflect philanthropic trends and for the first time provide a monetary estimate of local philanthropy of over USD 1 Billion annually. The survey proves that the per capita share of philanthropy outweighs the per capita share of foreign economic assistance to Egypt, which implies the significance of local giving if properly channeled, and not as it is actually consumed in the vicious circle of ad-hoc, person to person charity. In addition, the study relates local giving mechanisms derived from religion and culture to modern actual structures, like community foundations or community waqf that could bring about sustainable change in the communities. In sum, the work provides a comprehensive scientific base to help understand- and build on local philanthropy in Egypt. It explores the role that local individual giving could play in achieving sustainable development and building a new wave of community foundations not only in Egypt but in the Arab region at large. As a tangible result of this thesis, an innovative model that revives the concept of waqf and builds on the study’s results was created by the researcher and a dedicated board of trustees who succeeded in establishing Waqfeyat al Maadi Community Foundation (WMCF) that not only introduces the community foundation model to Egypt, but revives and modernizes the waqf as a practical authentic philanthropic structure.

Testing purchasing power parity is one of the most studied topics in international economics. Due to different time spans chosen, econometric methods used, and price indices adopted, there is no clear-cut conclusion whether or not PPP holds. One reason for this is that price indices are composed of different baskets of goods for different countries; therefore they are not directly comparable via exchange rates. Big Mac prices (published by The Economist since 1986) offer a unique opportunity to investigate PPP directly. This paper tests the law of one price using panel data estimation to exploit all the available information. Following the empirical methods implemented to test general PPP, two empirical test results are presented. The first considers relative Big Mac prices regressed on exchange rates, and the second is a panel unit root test of the real exchange rate based on Big Mac prices. The first test indicates that results are sensitive to the choice of different time intervals. In particular, for time periods up to 1996, the between-effect model and the random-effect model support PPP rather well. Using a different numeraire (US dollar or German mark) seems not to affect results, as is implied in the general PPP tests. The second test indicates that there is a mean reversion of the real exchange rate. The estimated half-life of the adjustment back to Macparity takes about 1 to 2 years, which is faster than what the general PPP predicts.

The water price in Taiwan has not changed for 20 years since 1994. In 2013, the average cost of water sold per cubic meter was NT$ 11.13, but the average selling price was only NT$ 10.93. The low water price strategy makes not only the Taiwan Water Corporation operate inefficiently, but also gives Taiwanese people less incentive to save water. This study deflates the water prices published by the International Water Association (IWA) in 2011 and GDP per capita by the Big Mac index and Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) index. The deflated statistics of 30 countries show that the water price in Taiwan is relatively low. The estimation results show that the deflated water prices and GDP per capita across countries are significantly positively correlated. The predicted water price of Taiwan is NTD 23.53. The IWA statistics also show that the higher the water price, the lower the water consumption. The study suggests that reasonably increasing the water price could make people save water and solve the water shortage problem in Taiwan.
