Na tentativa de compreender a formação da figura do iurisconsultus romano clássico, mas, sem recorrer tão somente a esquemas explicativos abstratos, o trabalho verte atenções para as trajetórias específicas e documentadas de juristas do último século antes da Era Comum até o período de Augusto. Para tal fim a pesquisa parte do contexto político, social e institucional da República tardia, enfatizando a competição existente entre juristas e oradores dentro da nobilitas, servindo-se para tal, em particular, dos tratados retóricos e das orações de Marco Túlio Cícero. Por meio da narrativa histórica criada através das fontes latinas disponíveis, e, lançando mão de pesquisa bibliográfica e discussões historiográficas, o trabalho delineia uma distinção entre certo modelo de jurista vigente na República tardia, chamando-o de ?juristas de transição?, e o jurisconsulto especializado e centralizado no conhecimento do ius que se forma a partir do governo de Augusto, que caracteriza dali em diante o jurista do Principado. A mudança se configura pelo locus social e político dos juristas que, em tempos republicanos, e, ainda na República tardia, disputavam com os demais membros da nobilitas pela governança da res publica, passando, após o período dos triunviratos, a atuar em referência ao novo contexto institucional desenhado por Augusto. A temporalidade da figura dos jurisconsultos não está absolutamente ligada ao regime político e institucional, mas, com ele se entrelaça. Os dois juristas de transição analisados são Caio Aquílio Galo e Sérvio Sulpício Rufo, também homens públicos que, tendo conhecido Quinto Múcio Cévola Pontífice e se servindo da tradição do ius civile por ele representada, outrossim possuem também marcas de uma nova estirpe de jurista, tendente cada vez mais à especialização ou setorização, guardando características do velho modelo do jurisconsulto republicano, mas também alçando o novo. Por meio de uma análise de outros três juristas que se formaram no contexto republicano ? Aulo Ofílio, Trebácio Testa, Alfeno Varo ? e dois que constroem suas carreiras ao longo de Augusto ? Ateio Capitão e Antístio Labeão ?, a obra destrinça a mudança no lugar social e político do jurista a partir do começo do Principado e sua relação com o ius respondendi, a aliança e amizade do princeps e as mudanças no funcionamento do cursus honorum.
Abstract : To understand the formation and the rise of the classic roman iurisconsultus, but without resorting only to abstract explanatory schemes, this work brings special attention specific and documented trajectories of the jurists between the last century BC and the Augustan period. To this end the dissertation begins with the political, social and institutional context of the Late Roman Republic, emphasizing on the competition between the jurists and the orators of the nobilitas, and with special regard to the rhetorical treatises and the discourses of Marcus Tullius Cicero about this issue. Through the historical narrative created by the exam of the sources and the historiographical discussions about the matter, the work draws a distinction between the jurist model of the Late Republic, calling it ?transitional jurists?, and a specialized kind of jurist that rise between Augustus? government and the Principate. This change is set by the political and social locus of the roman jurists. In the republican times, even in the late Republic, the jurists contended the governance of the res publica with other members of the nobilitas and, after the period of the triumvirates, began to act in reference to the new institutional framework of the Augustan age. The temporality of the figure of jurists is not inextricably linked to the political and institutional regime, but with it crosses. There are two transitional jurists analysed in this work. They are Caius Aquillius Gallus and Servius Sulpicius Rufus, not only jurisconsults, but also public men who have know Quintus Mucius Scaevola Pontifex and have served themselves of the ius civile tradition represented by him. Likewise, the two jurists also represent a new kind or model of jurist, with great tendency to specialization to their jurist knowledge, so, keeping features of both old republican jurist model and the new one. By an analysis of the three other jurists who have formed themselves in the republican context ?Aulus Ofilius, Trebacius Testa and Alfenus Varus ? and of the two famous jurists who have built their careers along Augustus ? Ateius Capito and Antistius Labeo ? the work describes and explains the change in the social and political place of the jurists in the beginning of the Principate and its relation with the ius respondendi, the alliances and friendships with the princeps and the changes in the functioning of the cursus honorum.

Previous issue date: 2011The scope of the discussion about language is very broad. Thus, we have searched to provide elements that underlie the problem of this thesis, whose core focuses on developments concerning the approaches of behaviorism, empiricism and pragmatism, as well as key concepts in the quinean system in order to clarify his thought to support this research. In this context, the problem of this study is to search basis in Quine's theory of language to answer the question in relation to behavioral bias raised, namely, which philosophical idea permeates Quine‘s philosophical theory of language. This investigation has been guided from basic quinean texts, such as: From a Logical Point of View; Word and Object; Ontological Relativity and Other Essays; Pursuit of Truth; The Ways of Paradox and Other Essays; The Web of Belief; The Roots of Reference; Theories and Things. Regarding to Dewey, the study has grounded in the book Experience and Nature, in which he, incisively, show his concepts about language. Moreover, from the texts, it can be possible to answer the hypotheses and questions that have motivated this research, concerning language and its assumptions on Quine. Furthermore, we have presented relevant concepts to the issue of uncertainty and assumptions that have been discussed in Chapter 2. In the third, language and empiricism can show the world of experience that there is on Quine's philosophical system. Finally, in the final remarks, we conclude that, indeed, Quine's theory about language, learning and acquisition has a strong behaviorist nature, confirming the initial hypothesis.
A abrangência da discussão acerca da linguagem é ampla. Desse modo, buscamos trazer elementos que fundamentam a problemática desta tese, cujo núcleo concentra-se nos desdobramentos das abordagens concernentes ao behaviorismo, empirismo e pragmatismo, assim como conceitos-chave no sistema quineano, a fim de elucidar seu pensamento para sustentar esta investigação. Nesse contexto, o problema deste estudo consiste em buscar embasamento na teoria da linguagem de Quine para responder à questão em relação ao viés behaviorista levantado; a saber, que concepção filosófica permeia a teoria da linguagem em Quine. Esta investigação orienta-se a partir de textos fundamentais, como From a Logical Point of View; Word and Object: Ontological Relativity and other Essays; Pursuit of Truth; The Ways of Paradox and Other Essays; The Web of Belief; The Roots of Reference; Theories and Things, de Quine; quanto a Dewey baseamo-nos, sobretudo, em Experience and Nature, em que ele, de forma pontual, mostra seus conceitos acerca da linguagem. Além disso, a partir dos textos é possível responder às hipóteses e indagações que motivaram este trabalho, referentes à linguagem e seus pressupostos em Quine. Ademais, apresentamos conceitos pertinentes à questão da indeterminação e seus pressupostos que são discutidos no capítulo 2. No terceiro, linguagem e empirismo mostram o mundo da experiência que há no sistema filosófico de Quine. Por fim, nas considerações finais, concluímos que, realmente, a teoria de Quine a respeito da linguagem, seu aprendizado e aquisição apresentam um cunho behaviorista marcante, comprovando a hipótese inicial.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the Carnap-Quine debate on analyticity with the objective of identifying exactly what is at stake. Close scrutiny of Quine’s criticism of the definitions of analyticity reveals that most of his objections are convincing only if they are considered in relation to the definitions of analyticity in natural language. Carnap, however, defines analyticity in artificial languages. The dissertation also shows that Carnap can meet the objections to his definitions by using a perspective based within his own philosophy. After examining the presumptions of each party to the debate, the dissertation concludes that the disagreement between Carnap and Quine on the notion of analyticity is rooted in their different approaches to empiricism and that there is nothing said by either philosopher which proves that one approach has ultimate advantages over the other. It is thus impossible to identify a winner in the Carnap-Quine debate on analyticity.
The process of arriving at this conclusion starts with a discussion in the first three chapters of Carnap’s philosophy followed by a critical and detailed discussion of his syntactical and semantical definitions of analyticity and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Chapter Four examines Quine’s objections to Carnap’s definitions of essential predication and shows that his objections do not undermine Carnap’s definitions of this notion in artificial languages. It also shows how vital providing a proper definition of essential predication in natural language is for Carnap’s philosophy and examines whether or not he is able to do so. Chapter Five analyzes Quine’s objections to Carnap’s definitions of logical truth and demonstrates that Carnap is able to respond to all of them when the discussion is situated within his philosophical system. Again, Quine’s objections to definitions of logical truth are meaningful only if they are considered in relation to natural language, which is not Carnap’s concern. The dissertation concludes by showing that both Carnap and Quine arrived at their conclusions with respect to the nature of logical sentences, based not on the arguments in their debate on analyticity, but on their philosophical considerations regarding the principle of empiricism: for Carnap, logical sentences are out of the realm of knowledge and independent of matters of fact whereas, for Quine, these are as empirical as other sentences. Nothing either says in their debate can convince the other to accept a different viewpoint.

This thesis reports findings about translations into Portuguese of 278 quite occurrences. The present research was carried out in a Corpus-Based Translation Studies perspective thus, the study also provides some concepts of Corpus Linguistics and Translation Studies. Every quite occurrence was annotated into three distinct variables, namely: Morphosyntactic, Translation Forms and Translational Correspondences for the purpose of investigating how the occurrences of quite are rendered into Portuguese in COMPARA parallel corpus. The referred corpus is composed of original and translated literary texts and it was selected in English-Portuguese translation direction. In short, this work achieved useful findings and it could come up with some suggestions to meet this patterns, like observing collocations and their translations. Moreover, it could also point out the contraints in finding translation patterns from analyzing the source language morphosyntactic structures.

The subject of this dissertation is Willard Quines Naturalized Epistemology. In the first chapter, we investigate its origins within the tradition of empiricism. We examine David Humes naturalistic theory of belief and Rudolf Carnaps reductionistic agenda for the philosophy of science. Quines epistemology emerges from the criticism of those positions. The second chapter is a close examination of Quines classic paper "Epistemology Naturalized" (1969). We begin by a presentation of the criticism of the concept of "empirical meaning", and then show how this criticism leads Quine to his own version of an empiricist epistemology. His naturalized epistemology has two main tenets, both reformulated from the tradition: (1) naturalism - epistemology becomes a chapter of the natural sciences, such as psychology - and (2) a version of empiricism in which the verification of a sentence or a theory can only be made in a holistic mode. The third chapter is concerned with the criticisms of Quines project. We present four criticisms; two closer to Quine, by Jaegwon Kim and Donald Davidson, and two from a more distant point of view, by Laurence Bonjour and Barry Stroud. At the end of this chapter we suggest quinean responses to those criticisms.O objeto desta dissertação é a Epistemologia Naturalizada de Quine.

Nós começamos pela a apresentação da crítica de Quine do conceito de significado empírico, e então mostramos como esta crítica leva Quine a sua própria versão de uma epistemologia empirista. Sua epistemologia naturalizada tem dois pontos fundamentais, ambos reformulados a partir da tradição: (1) naturalismo a epistemologia se torna um capítulo das ciências naturais, tal como a psicologia e (2) uma versão do empirismo na qual a verificação de uma sentença ou uma teoria pode ser feita apenas de um modo holista. O terceiro capítulo tem como foco as críticas ao projeto de Quine. Nós apresentamos quatro críticas, duas próximas de Quine, por Jaegwon Kim e Donald Davidson, e duas de um ponto de vista mais distante, por Laurence Bonjour e Barry Stroud.

Devant l'echec de carnap et du positivisme logique, dans l'effort de traduction reductive des theories scientifiques en termes de donnees des sens a l'aide de la logique, quine propose aux sciences de la nature d'expliquer et de decrire leur propre emergence dans leurs propres termes c. A. D. A l'aide de leur methode d'observation externe et de leur ontologie (physicaliste) d'objets externes. Le bilan de cette naturalisation de l'epistemologie par l'externalisation propre a la methode des sciences naturelles selon quine, parait globalement negatif. Le behaviorisme, en tant que psychologie empirique seule conforme a la methode des sciences naturelles, ne peut mener a bien la genese factuelle de l'appareil de la reference objective et abstraite de la science, concu de maniere strictement extensionnelle. L'empirisme externalise, qu'est le behaviorisme, oblige quine a "speculer" sur les processus internes responsables de la construction progressive du langage puis de la science. Son antimentalisme interdit toute position d'entite interne consistante et mutile ainsi le propre realisme de quine. L'empirisme externalise conduit aussi quine a deduire a priori le contenu de la science a partir de sa methode, au lieu de mettre a profit tout le contenu effectif de la science - ce qui contrevient a son propre naturalisme. L'association de l'empirisme externalise avec le holisme, impose a quine par son extensionalisme, laisse empiriquement indeterminees les structures internes du discours scientifique. La caractere systematique de la science, son universalite et la clarte de son formalisme restent sous-determines c. A. D. Non effectivement reconstruits. L'empirisme externalise est de meme incapable de contenir dans les limites d'un pragmatisme lie a l'evolutionnisme le decisionnisme impose par le holisme. L'explication de la genese de la science par elle-meme dans des termes scientifiques stricts, comme ceux de l'externalisation et de l'extensionalisme, produit le paradoxe ruineux d'une sous-determination generalisee c. A. D. D'une perte de scientificite et d'un manque de rationalite contraire a la science elle-meme. Preuve est donc faite du caractere problematique de l'autonomie de la scienceIn front of the mitigated failure of carnap and of the logical positivism in the endeavour to translate scientific theories by reducing them to sense-data with the help of logic, quine suggests that the natural sciences describe and explain their own appearance in their own terms i. E. With the help of their method of observing extenally and their (physicalistic) ontology of external objects. About this naturalization of epistemology by means of the externalization special to the method of the natural sciences en quine's opinion, the final assessment proves rather negative. As an empirical psychology alone of its kind consonant with the method of the natural sciences, behaviorism is unable to manage efficiently the factual genesis of the scientific apparatus of objective and abstract reference in a solely extensional way. Quine is bound by the externalized empiricism, that is behaviorism, to "speculate" on the internal processes in charge of the progressive construction of language and then of science. This antimentalism prevents quine from positing worthwile internal entities and thus he cuts back his own realism. The externalized empiricism leads him as well to deduce a priori the content of science from its method, instead of taking advantage of the whole actual content of science - which contravenes his own naturalism. The internal structures of the scientific discourse remain empirically indetermined because of the blending of the externalized empiricism with holism which is forced on quine by his extensionalism the systematizing of science, its universality and the clarity of its formalism is left under-determined i. E. Not actually reconstructed. In the same way the externalized empiricism is unable to restrain the decisionism due to holism within the confines of a pragmatism bound to evolutionism. The scientific account of the genesis of science by itself in such austere scientific terms as externalization and extensionalism brings about the damning paradox of a widespread under-determination i. E. A lack of scientificity and a rationality gap contrary to science. That proves the uncertainty of the self-sufficiency of science

The nonionic surfactants when in aqueous solution, have the property of separating into two phases, one called diluted phase, with low concentration of surfactant, and the other one rich in surfactants called coacervate. The application of this kind of surfactant in extraction processes from aqueous solutions has been increasing over time, which implies the need for knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of these surfactants. In this study were determined the cloud point of polyethoxylated surfactants from nonilphenolpolietoxylated family (9,5 , 10 , 11, 12 and 13), the family from octilphenolpolietoxylated (10 e 11) and polyethoxylated lauryl alcohol (6 , 7, 8 and 9) varying the degree of ethoxylation. The method used to determine the cloud point was the observation of the turbidity of the solution heating to a ramp of 0.1 ? C / minute and for the pressure studies was used a cell high-pressure maximum ( 300 bar). Through the experimental data of the studied surfactants were used to the Flory - Huggins models, UNIQUAC and NRTL to describe the curves of cloud point, and it was studied the influence of NaCl concentration and pressure of the systems in the cloud point. This last parameter is important for the processes of oil recovery in which surfactant in solution are used in high pressures. While the effect of NaCl allows obtaining cloud points for temperatures closer to the room temperature, it is possible to use in processes without temperature control. The numerical method used to adjust the parameters was the Levenberg - Marquardt. For the model Flory- Huggins parameter settings were determined as enthalpy of the mixing, mixing entropy and the number of aggregations. For the UNIQUAC and NRTL models were adjusted interaction parameters aij using a quadratic dependence with temperature. The parameters obtained had good adjust to the experimental data RSMD < 0.3 %. The results showed that both, ethoxylation degree and pressure increase the cloudy points, whereas the NaCl decrease

A aplica??o deste tipo de tensoativo nos processos de extra??o de solutos de meios aquosos vem aumentando o que implica na necessidade do conhecimento das propriedades termodin?micas desses tensoativos. Neste trabalho foram determinados os pontos de n?voa dos tensoativos polietoxilados, da fam?lia do nonilfenolpolietoxilado variando o grau de etoxila??o (9,5;10;11;12 e 13), da fam?lia do octilfenolpolietoxilado variando o grau de etoxila??o (10 e 11) e do ?lcool laur?lico polietoxilado nos graus de etoxila??o (6;7;8 e 9). O m?todo utilizado para determina??o do ponto de n?voa foi a observa??o do turvamento da solu??o ao aquecer o sistema a uma rampa de 0,1oC/minuto, e no estudo da press?o foi utilizada uma c?lula de alta press?o, m?ximo (300 bar). Atrav?s dos dados experimentais obtidos dos respectivos tensoativos, foram utilizados os modelos de Flory-Huggins, UNIQUAC e NRTL para descrever as curvas do ponto de n?voa dos referidos tensoativos. Foram tamb?m estudados a influ?ncia da concentra??o do NaCl e da press?o no ponto de n?voa. Este ?ltimo par?metro ? importante para os processos de recupera??o avan?ada de petr?leo nos quais os tensoativos em solu??o s?o submetidos a press?es elevadas. Enquanto que o efeito do NaCl permite obter pontos de n?voa a temperaturas mais pr?xima da temperatura ambiente viabilizando sua utiliza??o em processos sem controle de temperatura. O m?todo num?rico utilizado para ajustar os par?metros foi o Levenberg-Marquardt. Para o modelo de Flory-Huggins foram determinados par?metros de ajuste como a entalpia da mistura, entropia da mistura e o n?mero de agrega??o. Para os modelos UNIQUAC e NRTL foram ajustados par?metros de intera??o aij utilizando uma depend?ncia quadr?tica com a temperatura. Os par?metros obtidos tiveram bons ajustes aos dados experimentais com RMSD < 0,3%. Os resultados mostraram que tanto a etoxila??o quanto a press?o aumentam o ponto de n?voa do tensoativo, enquanto que o NaCl diminui

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThe project of naturalization of the epistemology proposed by Willard V. O. Quine it supplies a new way to do epistemology. Starting from that proposal, everything that is had to build knowledge on the world they are the sensitive evidences and the results obtained in the several scientific investigations, among them, the own empiric philosophical investigations. The naturalized epistemology doesn't intend to proceed of a privileged point of view in relation to the other sciences. For Quine that point of view is not possible, always originates from a world theory for since then, to reconstruct her revising and rejecting some beliefs. Starting from those conclusions of the quinean proposal it is noticed explicit rejection of the knowledge and justification a priori second which what would guarantee the beliefs ultimately on the world it would be a rational intuition given independently of the experience. Front to that, Laurence BonJour criticizes the project of naturalization of the epistemology proposed by Quine, because this proposal when not accepting a logic a priori would not be any reason to sustain, it would destroy yourself. This work tries to evaluate the critics of BonJour to the project of naturalization of the epistemology proposed by Quine. Intends to come a possible answer in the quinean project that there is not a logic a priori, but a naturalized reason developed starting from the experience that connects the sentences of the web.
O projeto de naturalização da epistemologia proposto por Willard V. O. Quine fornece uma nova maneira de fazer epistemologia. A partir dessa proposta, tudo o que se tem para construir conhecimentos sobre o mundo são as evidências sensíveis e os resultados obtidos nas diversas investigações científicas, entre elas, as próprias investigações filosóficas empíricas. A epistemologia naturalizada não pretende proceder de um ponto de vista privilegiado em relação às outras ciências. Para Quine esse ponto de vista não é possível, sempre se parte de uma teoria de mundo para a partir daí, reconstruí-la revisando e rejeitando algumas crenças. A partir dessas conclusões da proposta quineana percebe-se uma clara rejeição do conhecimento e justificação a priori segundo o qual o que garantiria as crenças sobre o mundo em última instância seria uma intuição racional dada independentemente da experiência. Frente a isso, Laurence BonJour critica o projeto de naturalização da epistemologia proposto por Quine, pois esta proposta ao não aceitar uma lógica a priori não teria nenhuma razão para se sustentar, seria auto-destrutiva. Este trabalho procura avaliar as críticas de BonJour ao projeto de naturalização da epistemologia proposto por Quine. Pretende-se apresentar uma possível resposta no projeto quineano de que não há uma lógica a priori, mas uma razão naturalizada desenvolvida a partir da experiência que conecta as sentenças da teia.

This thesis document is the record of a quest for a foundation in a 'tactical making' that is both dense and lucid enough to sustain and filter hueristic discoveries, as well as manifest itself only through a residue or deposit, appropriately receding back into its proper domain. The quest required assimilation of a making mode that uses both an illusive density of proto fragments and a lucid means to ratiocination to build working channels between conjuctive and disjunctive modes of seeing, thinking, and experience. This necessary integration of reflective distance with the vitality of making is not an overt part of a modern humanities education and consequently my architecture education pushed me beyond known domains.

Full textAbstract:
Quine and late Wittgenstein have often found themselves being compared for similarities and dissimilarities, we can attribute the allure of this subject to both philosophers being similar advocates of holism and epistemological relativity despite taking on different subject matters. Pieranna Garavaso attempted an inquiry of this type, where she compares Quine’s view on holism, relying mainly on “Two Dogmas of Empiricism”, with Wittgenstein’s On Certainty. Garavaso shows in her essay that there is a high level of correspondence between On Certainty and “Two Dogmas of Empiricism” but ultimately concludes that despite any actual agreement between Quine and Wittgenstein, their views end up ultimately incompatible. I will argue that this is wrong; Quine’s conception of holism, and Wittgenstein’s conception of holism found in On Certainty are compatible, and even complementary. I will begin my text by giving a short presentation of Quine’s “Two Dogmas of Empiricism”. I will then raise the similarities, and dissimilarities between the two texts before giving my final argument against the supposed conflict between them.

Resumo: O objetivo desta dissertação é compreender as relações que podem ser estabelecidas entre as teorias acerca da linguagem em dois autores, Willard V.O. Quine e Thomas S. Kuhn, principalmente em torno das questões significado e referência.O primeiro capítulo visa apresentar alguns elementos da tradição empirista que podem ser úteis à compreensão das ideias filosóficas de Willard Quine e Thomas Kuhn. Para a apresentação deste breve painel, dois autores foram escolhidos: David Hume e Rudolph Carnap.O segundo capítulo procura apresentar os desenvolvimentos filosóficos de Quine a partir de seu embate com o empirismo tradicional. O destaque foi dado à crítica de Quine ao mentalismo. Para Quine, uma vez que a referência é totalmente inescrutável somente o comportamento linguísitico deve ser parâmetro para o desenvolvimento de nossas teorias de linguagem.O terceiro capítulo dedica-se à apresentação das ideias de Thomas Kuhn a respeito da linguagem. A incomensurabilidade semântica é a principal idéia a ser apresentada. Nesse capítulo, se procurará mostrar como o projeto kuhniano se distancia do naturalismo quineano. Por fim, o capítulo quatro procura apresentar brevemente o embate entre o descritivismo semântico kuhniano e algumas ideias centrais das teorias causais diretas da referência. O ponto central do embate é a disputa pela defesa da fixidez ou não da referência.

The present study aims at analyzing the so-called Tarski proposal, a proposal about which objects should be considered as logical. My analysis has two parts: the first part, more historically oriented, compares Tarskis evolving methodology to Carnaps and Quines, in particular with the dierent conceptions of these latter two regarding that which they called explication. The second, more argumentative part, attempts to show that the most natural environment for this proposal is a platonic metaphysics of a neo-Fregean variety.O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar a assim chamada proposta de Tarski, a qual visa fornecer uma resposta à pergunta: quais objetos são lógicos? Nossa análise consiste em duas partes: uma primeira, mais histórica, compara a metodologia de Tarski àquela de Carnap e de Quine, se atentando principalmente às diferentes acepções que cada um deles atribui à noção de explicação (explication). A segunda parte, mais argumentativa, procura mostrar que um ambiente natural para essa proposta é uma metafísica platônica de franca inspiração neo-fregeana.

This work aims to use a different hydrodynamic condition applied to a new design of mixer-settler on treating wastewater produced by petroleum industry, called MDIF (Misturador-Decantador ? Invers?o de Fases/ Mixer-Settler based on Phase Inversion MSPI). The use of this different hydrodynamic behaviour is possible due to vertical disposition of the device and the principle of Phase Inversion that controls the MDIF, providing the generation (creation) of a cascade of drops, into an organic layer, that works as micro-decanters, thus making possible the formation of a bed of non-coalesced drops, called Bed Formation . The use of this new hydrodynamics condition allows to increase the residence time of the oil carrier drops, into an organic layer, and the device can treat a greater volume of wastewater. In view of to get this condition it is necessary to operate at high throughput (58,6 m3.m-2.h-1). By results, the condition of Bed Formation is the best one to be used when MSPI operates with throughput up to 58,6 m3.m-2.h-1. The results using the condition of Bed Formation show that increasing the height of the bed of non-coalesced drops and/or decreasing the volumetric ratio (O/A) an increase of the separation efficiency is detected
Este trabalho objetiva utilizar uma diferente condi??o hidrodin?mica aplicada a um novo design de misturador-decantador aplicado ao tratamento de ?guas produzidas da ind?stria do petr?leo, que vem sendo denominado de MDIF (Misturador-Decantador ? Invers?o de Fases). A utiliza??o do regime hidrodin?mico de Leito Denso ? poss?vel devido a disposi??o vertical do aparelho e ao princ?pio de invers?o de fases que rege o MDIF, proporcionando a gera??o de uma cascata de gotas, na regi?o de leito org?nico, que funcionam como micro-decantadores, possibilitando assim a forma??o de um leito de gotas n?o-coalescidas, denominado de Leito Denso. A utiliza??o desta nova condi??o hidrodin?mica permite o aumento do tempo de resid?ncia da gota transportadora de ?leo, na regi?o de leito org?nico, e o trata um maior volume de ?gua produzida, visto que para se atingir esta condi??o ? necess?rio se operar a altas vaz?es (58,6 m3/m2h). A partir dos resultados obtidos, a condi??o de regime de leito denso mostra-se como a melhor condi??o a ser utilizada quando se opera o misturador-decantador ? invers?o de fases com vaz?es espec?ficas acima de 58,6 m3.m-2.h-1. Os resultados utilizando o regime de leito denso mostram que elevando-se a altura do leito de gotas n?o-coalescidas e/ou diminuindo a raz?o volum?trica org?nico/aquoso aumenta a efici?ncia de separa??o do aparelho

This is a study on Duhem-Quine thesis. Its purpose was to investigate epistemological differences and affinities between the holistic positions of Willard Quine and Pierre Duhem. This analysis showed that two quite different interpretations of Duhem-Quine thesis are possible: a weak version, argued by Duhem, and a strong version, more radical, argued by Quine in his article Two dogmas of empiricism. The study of holism, in this perspective, highlighted the importance of this subject to the Philosophy of Science and Language and how this approach can shed light on important philosophical issues, such as the relationship between scientific observations and theories; the thesis of the empirical underdetermination of theories; the theory-ladenness of observation sentences; the theory choice process; the inscrutability of reference; the theory of linguistic learning; among others.
O presente trabalho tem por objeto a tese Duhem-Quine. O que procuramos, durante o desenvolvimento da nossa dissertação, foi investigar as diferenças e afinidades epistemológicas existentes entre as posições holistas de Willard Quine e Pierre Duhem. Ao longo desse estudo, por meio da análise da obra destes dois autores, buscamos mostrar que se pode ter duas interpretações bastante diferentes da tese Duhem-Quine: uma fraca, defendida por Duhem, e uma forte, mais radical, defendida por Quine em seu artigo Dois dogmas do empirismo. Ao investigar o holismo, nessa perspectiva, tentamos destacar a importância desse tema no âmbito da Filosofia da Ciência e da Linguagem e de que forma esta abordagem pode lançar luz sobre importantes problemas filosóficos, tais como a relação entre observações e teorias científicas, a tese da subdeterminação empírica de teorias, a impregnação teórica dos enunciados observacionais, o processo de escolha de teorias, a inescrutabilidade da referência, a teoria do aprendizado linguístico, entre outros.

I. De todo este análisis se puede concluir que la idea de Constitución es más antigua que su concepto. Éste, surge en el Estado Constitucional a finales del siglo XVIII, y ya en la época clásica del mundo griego que Aristóteles había analizado 158 constituciones a las cuales denominaba politeia.
II. Las constituciones Francesas y Norteamericana sirvieron de ejemplo a los pueblos de Latinoamérica, que al alcanzar su independencia, redactaron sus propias constituciones. De esta forma, se consolidó el constitucionalismo como una forma de organización del poder del EstadoEl término Constitución referido a la política, es antiquísimo; la reflexión sobre la organización política se halla en la antigüedad, en la edad media y en la modernidad. Por esta razón, desde el punto de vista de la evolución de las ideas políticas es posible hablar, en términos generales y sin la precisión que hoy tiene el concepto de constitución, de una constitución antigua, una constitución medieval y una constitución moderna. El presente trabajo cuenta con una preocupación central del constitucionalismo de nuestro tiempo que se asienta en la necesidad de poner especial énfasis en la razón esencial de la Constitución y en los grandes propósitos que ella persigue. Encuentra su justificación y pertinencia en la búsqueda de aquellos principios, valores y fines que a pesar de sus incontables reformas, todavía contiene la Constitución de México.

The present work had as objective to apply an experimental planning aiming at to improve the efficiency of separation of a new type of mixer-settler applied to treat waste water contaminated with oil. An unity in scale of laboratory, was installed in the Post-graduation Program of Chemical Engineering of UFRN. It was constructed in partnership with Petrobras S.A. This called device Misturador-Decantador a Invers?o de Fases (MDIF) , possess features of conventional mixer-settler and spray column type. The equipment is composed of three main parts: mixing chamber; chamber of decantation and chamber of separation. The efficiency of separation is evaluated analyzing the oil concentrations in water in the feed and the output of the device. For the analysis one used the gravimetric method of oil and greases analysis (TOG). The system in study is a water of formation emulsified with oil. The used extractant is a mixture of Turpentine spirit hydro-carbons, supplied for Petrobras. It was applied, for otimization of the efficiency of separation of the equipment, an experimental planning of the composite central type, having as factorial portion fractionary factorial planning 2 5-2, with the magnifying of the type star and five replications in the central point. In this work, the following independents variables were studied: contents of oil in the feed of the device; volumetric ratio (O/A); total flowrate ; agitation in the mixing chamber and height of the organic bed. Minimum and maximum limits for the studied variables had been fixed according previous works. The analysis of variance for the equation of the empirical model, revealed statistically significant and useful results for predictions ends. The variance analysis also presented the distribution of the error as a normal distribution and was observed that as the dispersions do not depend on the levels of the factors, the independence assumption can be verified. The variation around the average is explained by 98.98%, or either, equal to the maximum value, being the smoothing of the model in relation to the experimental points of 0,98981. The results present a strong interaction between the variable oil contents in the feed and agitation in the mixing chamber, having great and positive influence in the separation efficiency. Another variable that presented a great positive influence was the height of the organic bed. The best results of separation efficiency had been obtained for high flowrates when associates the high oil concentrations and high agitation. The results of the present work had shown excellent agreement with the results carried out through previous works with the mixer-settler of phase inversion
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo otimizar a efici?ncia de separa??o de um novo aparelho do tipo misturador-decantador aplicado ao tratamento de ?guas residu?rias contaminadas com petr?leo. Foi utilizado um equipamento em escala de laborat?rio, instalado no Programa de P?s-gradua??o em Engenharia Qu?mica da UFRN, que foi constru?do em parceria com a Petrobras S.A. Este aparelho denominado Misturador-Decantador ? Invers?o de Fases (MDIF), possui caracter?sticas de um misturador-decantador convencional e de uma coluna tipo spray. O equipamento ? composto de tr?s partes principais: c?mara de mistura; c?mara de decanta??o e c?mara de separa??o. A efici?ncia de separa??o ? avaliada analisando-se as concentra??es de ?leo em ?gua na alimenta??o e na sa?da do aparelho. Para a an?lise utilizou-se o m?todo da an?lise de ?leo e graxas (TOG) por gravimetria. O sistema em estudo ? uma ?gua de forma??o emulsionada com ?leo. O extratante utilizado ? uma mistura de hidrocarbonetos denominada de Aguarr?s, fornecido pela Petrobras. Aplicou-se, para a otimiza??o da efici?ncia de separa??o do equipamento, um planejamento experimental do tipo central composto, tendo como por??o fatorial o planejamento fatorial fracion?rio 2 5-2, com a amplia??o do tipo estrela e cinco repeti??es no ponto central. Neste trabalho, estudam-se as seguintes vari?veis independentes: teor de ?leo na ?gua residu?ria de carga da coluna; rela??o volum?trica org?nico/aquoso (O/A); vaz?o efetiva total; agita??o na c?mara de mistura e altura do leito org?nico. Foram fixados limites m?nimos e m?ximos para as vari?veis estudadas de acordo com trabalhos realizados anteriormente. A an?lise de vari?ncia para a equa??o do modelo emp?rico, mostrou-se estatisticamente significante e ?til para fins preditivos. A an?lise de vari?ncia tamb?m apresentou a distribui??o do erro como uma distribui??o normal e observou-se que como as dispers?es n?o dependem dos n?veis dos fatores, a suposi??o de independ?ncia pode ser verificada. A varia??o em torno da m?dia ? explicada por 98,98%, ou seja, igual ao valor m?ximo explic?vel, sendo o ajuste do modelo em rela??o aos pontos experimentais de 0.98981. Os resultados apresentam uma intera??o muito forte entre as vari?veis teor de ?leo e agita??o na c?mara de mistura, tendo grande e positiva influ?ncia na efici?ncia de separa??o. Outra vari?vel que apresentou-se com grande e positiva influ?ncia foi a altura do leito org?nico. Os melhores resultados de efici?ncia de separa??o foram obtidos para altas vaz?es quando associadas a altas concentra??es de ?leo e alta agita??o. Os resultados obtidos no presente trabalho mostraram excelente concord?ncia com os resultados de trabalhos anteriores realizados com o misturador-decantador ? invers?o de fases

Full textAbstract:
Les cartes combinatoires sont des dessins de graphes sur des surfaces (orientable ou non), considérés à déformation près. On propose une méthode bijective de découpage d'une carte, appelée ouverture, qui à une carte associe une autre carte, dessinée sur la même surface, possédant une unique face, et munie de décorations supplémentaires appelées bourgeons. Cette construction généralise l'ouverture décrite pour le cas des cartes planaires dans [Sch97].Plusieurs travaux datant des années 90 ont permis de démontrer par des méthodes calculatoires poussées des propriétés concernant la série génératrice des cartes d'une surface donnée. En particulier, dans le cas d'une surface orientable, cette série peut s'écrire comme une fonction rationnelle d'une certaine série d'arbres. Ceci est valable que les cartes soient énumérées simplement par arêtes [BenCan91], ou également par sommets et faces [BenCanRic93]. Un résultat similaire plus faible peut également être exprimé dans le cas des cartes non orientables [AG00]. Ces propriétés de rationalité des séries génératrices de cartes expriment en fait des propriétés combinatoires structurelles fortes concernant les cartes elles-même, et la recherche d'une interprétation combinatoire de ces propriétés a été un moteur important du développement de la combinatoire bijective des cartes.L'utilisation de notre algorithme d'ouverture produit une carte qui peut à son tour être décomposée successivement en cartes plus petites munies de décorations additionnelles.Après une analyse approfondie des objets ainsi obtenus et de leur séries génératrices, ceci permet de démontrer combinatoirement les résultats de rationalité évoqués plus haut.Une k-triangulation d'un polygone fini est un ensemble maximal (pour l'inclusion) de diagonales, qui ne possède pas k+1 diagonales se croisant 2 à 2. On appelle k-étoile un ensemble de 2k+1 points et 2k+1 diagonales tel que chaque point est relié à ses deux points opposés. Les travaux de [PilSan07] ont permis de montrer qu'une k-triangulation peut être décomposée en un complexe de k-étoiles, et que les multitriangulations peuvent être obtenue l'une de l'autre par une succession d'opérations élémentaires appelées flips.Notre objectif est d'étendre ces résultats au cas des multitriangulations d'une surface quelconque. Dans cette optique, on commence par étudier une certaine classe de multitriangulations d'un polygone ayant un nombre infini de côtés, et à étendre à ce contexte les résultats principaux de [PilSan07]. En utilisant la construction classique du recouvrement universelle d'une surface quelconque, on espère ensuite pouvoir réduire l'étude d'une multitriangulations quelconque à celle d'une multitriangulation périodique d'un polygone infini, et on présente dans ce sens une ébauche de preuve, sous forme de plusieurs conjectures élémentairesA combinatorial map is the embedding of a graph on a surface (orientable or not), considered up to deformation. We describe a bijective method, called opening, that allows to reduce a map into a smaller map on the same surface, with only one face, along with some additional decorations called blossoms. This construction generalizes the opening described in the case of planar maps in [Sch97].Several papers from the 90's used advanced calculation methods to obtain properties on the generating series of maps on a given surface. In particular, in case the surface is orientable, this series can be written as a rational function of the generating series of some trees. This is valid both in case the maps are enumerated by their number of edges only [BenCan91], by both their number of vertices and faces [BenCanRic93]. A similar weaker result was also obtained in the case of non-orientable surfaces [AG00]. Actually, these rationality properties concerning the generating series of maps imply strong structural properties concerning the maps themselves, and providing a combinatorial interpretation of these properties has been an important motivation in the development of the bijective combinatorics of maps.The opening algorithm that we describe produces a map that can be further successively decomposed into smaller maps along with additional decorations. A deep analysis of the maps obtained this way, and their generating series, then allows to recover in a combinatorial way the rationality results described earlier.A k-triangulation of a finite polygon is a set of diagonals, maximal for the set-inclusion, such that no k+1 of its diagonals are pairwise crossing. A k-star is a set of 2k+1 points and 2k+1 diagonals such that each point is adjacent to its two opposite points. The work of [PilSan07] showed that a k-triangulation can be decomposed into a complex k-stars, and that multitriangulations can be obtained one from another by a succession of local elementary operations called flips.Our purpose is to extend these results to the case of multitriangulations on any surface. In this regard, we first study a class of multitriangulations of a polygon with an infinite number of sides, and extend to this context the main results of [PilSan07]. Using the classical construction of the universal cover of a surface, we then hope to reduce the case of a multitriangulations in any surface to that of a periodic multitriangulation of an infinite polygon. We present some element of such a proof, along with some conjectures that would allow to conclude

Previous issue date: 2012-09-21Anhydrous ethanol is used in chemical, pharmaceutical and fuel industries. However, current processes for obtaining it involve high cost, high energy demand and use of toxic and pollutant solvents. This problem occurs due to the formation of an azeotropic mixture of ethanol + water, which does not allow the complete separation by conventional methods such as simple distillation. As an alternative to currently used processes, this study proposes the use of ionic liquids as solvents in extractive distillation. These are organic salts which are liquids at low temperatures (under 373,15 K). They exhibit characteristics such as low volatility (almost zero/ low vapor ), thermal stability and low corrosiveness, which make them interesting for applications such as catalysts and as entrainers. In this work, experimental data for the vapor pressure of pure ethanol and water in the pressure range of 20 to 101 kPa were obtained as well as for vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) of the system ethanol + water at atmospheric pressure; and equilibrium data of ethanol + water + 2-HDEAA (2- hydroxydiethanolamine acetate) at strategic points in the diagram. The device used for these experiments was the Fischer ebulliometer, together with density measurements to determine phase compositions. The experimental data were consistent with literature data and presented thermodynamic consistency, thus the methodology was properly validated. The results were favorable, with the increase of ethanol concentration in the vapor phase, but the increase was not shown to be pronounced. The predictive model COSMO-SAC (COnductor-like Screening MOdels Segment Activity Coefficient) proposed by Lin & Sandler (2002) was studied for calculations to predict vapor-liquid equilibrium of systems ethanol + water + ionic liquids at atmospheric pressure. This is an alternative for predicting phase equilibrium, especially for substances of recent interest, such as ionic liquids. This is so because no experimental data nor any parameters of functional groups (as in the UNIFAC method) are needed
O etanol anidro tem ampla aplica??o em ind?strias qu?mica, farmac?utica e de combust?veis. No entanto, os processos atuais para a sua obten??o envolvem custo elevado, alta demanda de energia e a utiliza??o de solventes t?xicos e poluentes. Esse problema ocorre devido ? forma??o de aze?tropo na mistura etanol + ?gua, n?o permitindo a separa??o completa por m?todos convencionais tais como destila??o simples. Como uma alternativa aos processos atualmente utilizados, este estudo prop?e a utiliza??o de l?quidos i?nicos como agentes na destila??o extrativa. Trata-se de sais org?nicos l?quidos a baixas temperaturas (abaixo de 373,15 K). Suas caracter?sticas, tais como baixa volatilidade (press?o de vapor muito baixa), estabilidade t?rmica e baixa corrosividade os tornam interessantes para aplica??es como catalisadores e solventes. Neste trabalho, dados experimentais de press?o de vapor de etanol e ?gua puros na faixa de press?o de 20 a 101 kPa, assim como dados de equil?brio l?quido-vapor(ELV) do sistema etanol + ?gua a press?o atmosf?rica, e dados de equil?brio do sistema etanol + ?gua + 2-HDEAA (acetato de 2-hidrodietanolamina) foram obtidos em pontos estrat?gicos do diagrama. O dispositivo usado para esses experimentos foi o ebuliometro de Fischer, juntamente com medidas de densidade para determinar a composi??o das fases. Os dados obtidos apresentaram coer?ncia com dados da literatura e consist?ncia termodin?mica, desta forma, a metodologia foi devidamente validada. Os resultados foram favor?veis, com o aumento da concentra??o de etanol na fase vapor, por?m o aumento n?o demonstrou ser elevado. O modelo preditivo COSMO-SAC (COnductor-like Screening MOdels Segment Activity Coefficient), desenvolvido por Lin e Sandler (2002), foi aplicado para os c?lculos de predi??o de Equil?brio L?quido-Vapor do sistema etanol + ?gua com l?quido i?nico a press?o atmosf?rica. Essa ? uma alternativa para a previs?o do equil?brio de fases, especialmente para subst?ncias de interesse recente, tais como l?quidos i?nicos, uma vez que nem dados experimentais, nem par?metros de grupos funcionais (como no m?todo UNIFAC) s?o necess?rios

Rio Grande do Norte, northeast state from Brazil, it is the greatest producer and exporter of yellow melon, well known as Spanish melon. Despite the consumption of this fruit to be mainly its pulp, melon seeds are an important source of lipids considered an industrial residue it has been discharge product. The use of oilseeds in order to produce biodiesel establishes an important raw material and the increase of its production promotes the national development of the agriculture. In this background, the aim of this work has been to use oil from seeds of yellow melon to produce biodiesel and to accomplish a study of the phase equilibrium of the system evolving biodiesel, methanol and glycerin. The biodiesel was obtained by oil transesterification through methylic route with molar ratio 1:9.7 (oil:alcohol) and with a mass of NaOH of 0.5% from the oil mass; the reaction time was 73 minutes at 55 ?C. A yield of 84.94% in biodiesel was achieved. The equilibria data present a well-characterized behavior with a great region of two phases. The tie lines indicate that methanol has a best solubility in the phase that is rich in glycerin. Consistency of the experimental data was made based on Othmer-Tobias and Hand correlations which values above 0.99 were found to correlation coefficients, this fact confers a good thermodynamic consistency to the experimental data. NRTL and UNIQUAC models were employed to predict liquid-liquid equilibrium of this system. It was observed a better concordance of the results when NRTL was applied (standard deviation 1.25%) although the UNIQUAC model has presented a quite satisfactory result either (standard deviation 2.70%). The NRTL and UNIQUAC models were also used to evaluate the effect of temperature in the range of 328 K to 358 K, in which a little change in solubility with respect to the data obtained at 298 K was observed, thus being considered negligible the effect of temperature
O Rio Grande do Norte, estado da regi?o Nordeste do Brasil, corresponde ao maior produtor e exportador do mel?o amarelo, tamb?m conhecido como mel?o espanhol. Apesar do consumo dessa fruta ser basicamente a polpa, a semente do mel?o ? uma importante fonte de lip?dios, sendo considerada res?duo industrial tem sido produto de descarte. O uso de sementes oleaginosas como fonte para a produ??o de biodiesel constitui-se numa importante mat?ria-prima e o incentivo da sua produ??o contribui para o desenvolvimento agr?rio da na??o. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desse trabalho foi utilizar ?leo de semente de mel?o amarelo para produzir biodiesel e realizar um estudo de equil?brio de fases do sistema envolvendo biodiesel, metanol e glicerina. O biodiesel foi obtido pela transesterifica??o do ?leo atrav?s da rota met?lica na raz?o molar 1:9,7 (?leo:?lcool), usando uma massa de NaOH de 0,5% da massa de ?leo; o tempo de rea??o foi de 73 minutos a 328 K. Obteve-se uma taxa de convers?o de 84,94 % em biodiesel. Os dados de equil?brio apresentaram um comportamento bem caracterizado, com uma grande regi?o de duas fases. As linhas de amarra??o indicaram o metanol com uma solubilidade maior na fase rica em glicerina. A consist?ncia dos dados experimentais foi feita com base nas correla??es de Othmer-Tobias e Hand em que foram obtidos valores acima de 0,99 para os ?ndices de correla??o, conferindo uma boa consist?ncia termodin?mica aos dados experimentais. Os modelos NRTL e UNIQUAC foram utilizados para predizer o equil?brio l?quido-l?quido desse sistema, sendo observado uma melhor concord?ncia nos resultados quando NRTL foi empregado (desvio m?dio de 1,25%), embora o modelo UNIQUAC tamb?m tenha apresentado resultado bastante satisfat?rio (desvio m?dio de 2,70%). Os modelos NRTL e UNIQUAC ainda foram utilizados para avaliar o efeito da temperatura no intervalo de 328 K e 358 K, em que foi observada pouca varia??o na solubilidade em rela??o aos dados obtidos a 298 K, sendo assim considerado desprez?vel o efeito da temperatura

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to examine the theoretical commitments informing W.V. Quine’s rejection of alethic modality and to advance a Quinean response to Saul Kripke’s arguments in support of modal metaphysics. The novelty of this thesis consists in it being the first detailed explanation of how Quine’s arguments against modality are situated within his system and informed by his epistemological and ontological views and the first adequate study of the epistemological and metaphysical criticisms Quine would advance against Kripke’s defence of modality.
The Quinean response to Kripke presented here is guided by four tenets that Quine takes to be central to the current scientific worldview and which he consequently adopts as the guiding methodological constraints of his own project: empiricism, regimentation, physicalism and simplicity. I explain how Quine’s referential opacity and mathematician-cyclist arguments against modality hang together with the rest of his philosophical project; and I show that while these arguments may seem unpersuasive and easily refuted by Kripke when taken in isolation, they are quite powerful when understood within the context of Quine’s entire system and seen in light of his guiding methodological constraints.
By the end of this thesis, it will be clear why Quine remains unconvinced by Kripke’s arguments in support of modal metaphysics and how his response to Kripke is grounded in his deepest methodological constraints. He ultimately rejects Kripke’s arguments because they conflict with the tenets he takes to be the deepest commitments of the scientific worldview. Quine’s arguments against modality must be understood within the context of his philosophical system as a whole and are best seen not as arguments to be met by Kripke on Kripke’s terms but as illustrations of why, from the standpoint of Quine’s project and the standards it adheres to (the standards of science, as Quine understands it), modality is a flawed and unnecessary addition to reconstructed scientific theory. While there may well be reasons for rejecting Quine’s views about modality – and even reasons that would compel Quine, on his own terms, to reject his views – I argue that Kripke does not provide them.

This thesis explores the settlement of the Mississippi Territory through the eyes of John Hailes, a Southern yeoman farmer, from 1813 until his death in 1859. This is a family history. As such, the goal of this paper is to reconstruct John’s life to better understand who he was, why he left South Carolina, how he made a living in Mississippi, and to determine a degree of upward mobility.
Local, state, and federal government records provide the general context of this study and accurately track John’s movements and land purchases within the territory. John's frequent movements and the land he bought suggest that he was a herder and relied on hogs and cattle for a living. This contextual biography suggests that John was mobile, that he was sensitive to land policies and market pressures, and that he maintained a yeoman's standard of living throughout his life.

Full textAbstract:
Le paradigme de la traduction radicale et les theses d'indetermination qui y sont associees sont sans doute la partie la plus celebre (sinon la mieux comprise) de l'oeuvre de quine. Il apparait toutefois a l'analyse que ce paradigme traduit mal les principaux resultats de la doctrine, a savoir : - le caractere holiste et holophrastique de la verification ; - la relativite de l'ontologie ; - et le role de la metaphore dans l'elaboration des hypotheses scientifiques et des concepts theoriques. Cette lacune semble essentiellement due a l'assimilation au sein de ce paradigme de deux processus distincts : celui de la verification d'une theorie, d'une part, et celui de la comprehension d'un langage, de l'autre. De cette assimilation decoulent la plupart des aspects paradoxaux de la doctrine quinienne : - confusion langage theorie ; - conception holophrastique de la signification empirique ; - privilege accorde a la logique propositionnelle ; - statut problematique des phrases observationnelles. Notre these est qu'il y a lieu au contraire de distinguer entre l'apprentissage (et la traduction) des langages naturels et l'elaboration et la verification des langages theoriques. Ce point de vue aboutit a une rehabilitation du role de la logique quantifiee des les premiers stades de l'apprentissage et permet du meme coup de leur appliquer la these de la relativite de l'ontologieThe paradigm of radical translation and the associated indetermination theses are probably the best known of quine's. Analysis reveals therefore that the paradigm badly express the more important results of the thesis, namely : - holism and holophraticism of the confirmation process ; - ontological relativity ; - and metaphor-based construction of scientific hypotheses and theoretical concepts. This difficulty seems to depend on the assimilation between two distinct processes : theoretical confirmation, for one, and linguistic understanding, for the second. Of that issue, most of the problems of the theory are consequences : - confusing language and theory ; - holophrastic point of view on empirical signification ; - privilege given to truth-functional logic ; - problematic status of observation sentences. Our thesis is that it is important, on the contrary, to distinguish between : - first, learning of natural languages ; - second, elaborating and confirming theoretical languages. From this point of view, we are allowed to give more place to quantified logic, even at the first stages of learning and to use the ontological relativity to explain these stages

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorTo present dissertation it is the result of an investigation on the conception behaviorist of the language of Quine, tends as pretension your exposition and defense, alleging your permanence in elapsing of all the quinean works. The importance of this work is due to the fact that many critics were made Quine with regard to your linguistic perspective. Among the critics, what promotes contusing objections, it is Noam Chomsky. This alleges that Quine suffers from inconsistency and incoherence when proposing your language conception, and he still affirms that Quine abandons the behaviorism in your last works in favor of a mentalism. To accomplish the defense of Quine front to the accusations of Chomsky it was had as reference Roger Gibson, which elaborated a defense of the position of Quine, that however it was not very clear. This way, in this dissertation it is made an analysis not only of the critics of Chomsky, but also of the defense of Gibson in the search of offering a better explanation of the conception of Quine. It is sustained that the program behaviorist quinean is presented mainly in Word and Object, published in 1960, but it stays until your last publications. In these some are observed explanations and amplifications than it was already presented in 1960, but non incoherences. The sustentation of your conception is found in your rejection to the semantics traditional mentalist that accepts intension concepts as mental entities when correlating words with ideas. Quine defends that the linguistic meaning is a property of the behavior and, for this reason, not meeting differentiates comportamental, it is not possible to allege semantic difference. Quine assumes, then, that a perspective behaviorist is necessary for the study of the acquisition of the language, even if it is not enough. Besides, the defense of a behaviorism is not only important for your semantic aspect, but also epistemological, because Quine defends that the only possible road to understand the relationship between theory and world is, if before, the subject psychogenetic of "as it is acquired the language" it is answered. Starting from that, the conception behaviorist ends up assuming a central paper in the philosophy of Quine and, for the which, a lot of subjects are answered.
A presente dissertação é o resultado de uma investigação sobre a concepção behaviorista da linguagem de Quine, tendo como pretensão a sua exposição e defesa, alegando a sua permanência no decorrer de todos os trabalhos quineanos. A importância deste trabalho se deve ao fato de que muitas críticas foram feitas a Quine com respeito a sua perspectiva linguística. Dentre os críticos, o que promove objeções contundentes, é Noam Chomsky. Este alega que Quine sofre de inconsistência e incoerência ao propor sua concepção de linguagem, e ainda afirma que Quine abandona o behaviorismo nos seus últimos trabalhos em favor de um mentalismo. Para realizar a defesa de Quine frente às acusações de Chomsky teve-se como referência Roger Gibson, o qual elaborou uma defesa da posição de Quine, que, entretanto, não ficou muito clara. Desta forma, nesta dissertação é feita uma análise não só das críticas de Chomsky, mas também da defesa de Gibson na tentativa de se apresentar um melhor esclarecimento da concepção de Quine. Sustenta-se que o programa behaviorista quineano é apresentado principalmente em Word and Object, publicado em 1960, mas permanece até suas últimas publicações. Nestas são observados alguns esclarecimentos e ampliações do que já era apresentado em 1960, mas não incoerências. A sustentação da sua concepção é encontrada na sua rejeição à semântica mentalista tradicional que aceita conceitos intensionais como entidades mentais ao correlacionar palavras com ideias. Quine defende que o significado linguístico é uma propriedade do comportamento e, por esta razão, não se encontrando diferença comportamental, não é possível alegar diferença semântica. Quine assume, então, que uma perspectiva behaviorista é necessária para o estudo da aquisição da linguagem, mesmo que não seja suficiente. Além disso, a defesa de um behaviorismo não é importante somente pelo seu aspecto semântico, mas também epistemológico, visto que Quine defende que a única via possível para entender a relação entre teoria e mundo é, se antes, a questão psicogenética de como é adquirida a linguagem é respondida. A partir disso, a concepção behaviorista acaba assumindo um papel central na filosofia de Quine e, pela qual, muitas questões são respondidas.

Previous issue date: 2008-07-25The study of a promising alternative for the treatment of produced water from the oil industry envisaging its reuse was the focus of this work. Millions of liters of water are generated per day, containing heavy metals in low concentrations (< 0,15 mg/L for Pb, <0,04 mg/L for Cd, <0,04 mg/L for Ni). The technology applied to extract these metals from aqueous phase was the solvent extraction and the extratants used were vegetable oils originated from coconut oil. They can be used in natural form or as derivatives, known as MAC - Mixture of Carbox?lics Acids. The determination of the heavy metal con?centrations in a complex matrix was made by using the atomic absorption spectrometry technique (AAS). On the bench tests using synthetics aqueous solutions containing metals, vegetable oils showed no power to extract the metals studied. The extractant MAC was selective for the Pb> Cd> Ni, in the concentration of 8% in the same organic phase. In this condition, the lower efficiency of extraction obtained was 92% for the Pb, 69% for the Cd, in the range of pH ranging from 6 to 8. An experimental planning was conducted for continuous tests. The device used was called MDIF Misturador-Decantador ? Invers?o de Fases and the aqueous phase was produced water from P?lo Indutrial de Guamar?/RN . No correlation between the studied variables (concentration of metal, concentration of extratant and agitation in the mixing chamer) could be obtained, because of possible factors which occurred as: variation in the composition of the studied sample, phenomena of precipitation and complexation of metals in the reservoir of feed, solubility of extratant

A tecnologia utilizada para extrair esses metais da fase aquosa foi a extra??o por solvente e os extratantes estudados foram ?leos vegetais in natura e derivados do ?leo de coco, denominada MAC Mistura de ?cidos Carbox?licos. A determina??o da concentra??o dos metais pesados em matriz complexa foi realizada utilizando o EAA Espectr?metro de Absor??o At?mica. Nos ensaios de bancada realizados, com solu??es sint?ticas contendo metais, os ?leos vegetais n?o apresentaram poder de extra??o dos metais estudados. J? o extratante MAC foi seletivo para o Pb > Cd > Ni na concentra??o de 8% do mesmo na fase org?nica. Nesta condi??o, a menor efici?ncia de extra??o obtida foi de 92% para o Pb, 69% para o Cd, na faixa de pH variando de 6 a 8. Um planejamento experimental foi realizado para os ensaios em regime cont?nuo. O equipamento utilizado foi o MDIF - Misturador Decantador ? Invers?o de Fases e a fase aquosa utilizada foi a ?gua produzida proveniente da sa?da do SAO Separador ?gua ?leo do P?lo Industrial de Guamar?/RN. Nenhuma correla??o entre as vari?veis estudadas, concentra??o do metal, concentra??o do extratante e agita??o na c?mara de mistura pode ser obtida devido a poss?veis fatores ocorridos como: varia??o na composi??o da amostra estudada, fen?menos de precipita??o e complexa??o de metais no reservat?rio de alimenta??o, solubiliza??o do extratante

Resumo: O funk carioca é hoje uma das maiores manifestações culturais de massa do Brasil e está diretamente relacionado aos estilos de vida e experiências da juventude de periferias e favelas. Trata-se de uma performance híbrida resultante de um intenso processo de apropriação, transformação, nacionalização e comodificação de ritmos da diáspora africana. Considerando que as identidades são performances políticas de linguagem, este trabalho objetiva investigar como os atos de fala que definem os significados de raça, gênero e território constituem a identidade do funk - tanto da prática musical, quanto de seus sujeitos. Situado em um campo de estudos transdisciplinar, este estudo conjuga a análise lingüística e a interpretação etnográfica. Por meio de certa vivência nos bastidores do funk carioca, como também de um diálogo com os atos de fala encenados pelos artistas e pelas artistas de funk, mostro como essa prática musical propõe uma nova leitura sobre a cartografia social da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, que tanto desafia o racismo velado da sociedade brasileira, quanto reinventa novas identidades de raça e gênero
Abstract: Funk carioca is a one of the largest cultural manifestations of Brazil and is fundamentally related to the lifestyles and experiences of youth from Rio de Janeiro's periphery and slums, known as favelas. Funk carioca is a hybrid performance resulting from an intense process of appropriation, commodification and nationalization of African Diaspora rhythms. Whereas identities are linguistic constructions, which is to say that identities are performances, the aim of this research is to investigate how the speech acts that define the meanings of race, gender and territory constitute the identity of funk carioca. Situated in a transdisciplinary field, this study combines linguistic analysis and ethnography. Through some backstage experience in funk carioca, but also through an interpretation of speech acted out on stage, this work shows how funk carioca proposes a new reading of the social map of Rio de Janeiro, which challenges a veiled racism in Brazilian society and reinvents new identities of race and gender

Using the of bosonization technique we explore the possible condition of existence of quasiparticles in a superconducting state. Although there is no spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry the propagator of one-particle fermion is massive and, in fact, resembles the one-particle Green s function of conventional quasiparticles

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the works of W. V. Quine and Ludwig Wittgenstein. It provides a detailed and comprehensive discussion of their distinct conceptions of philosophy. It shows how Quine is involved in a scientific philosophy aimed at the discovery of truth and explanation. It also demonstrates how Wittgenstein's critical approach attempts to dissolve philosophical problems and theories. The main purpose of this work is to explain how a proper understanding of each philosopher's framework of study, is crucial to the understanding and criticism of their respective philosophical ideas. The only way to properly refute Quine's theories is to evaluate them in a scientific framework. Any other interpretation could change his intention and weaken his arguments. Similarly, the only way to refute Wittgenstein's claims is to interpret them in everyday language. However, this is not to say that either view can be refuted. It is simply to point out that any attempt to oppose Wittgenstein's claims from a scientific viewpoint, or Quine's from a non-scientific perspective, will be flawed since it is contrary to the way in which each view was conceived.

Full textAbstract:
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e TecnológicoThere are approximate thirty years, started a debate among philosophers W. V. O. Quine and D. Davidson about where it should be located in the causal chain speaking- world, the element that determines the empirical meaning of observation sentences - henceforth will call this element of "stimulus." According to Quine, who supports what might be called the "proximal conception," such stimulus would be located on the sensory surface speaker, ie, in a position close to him in this causal chain - proximal stimulus -; Davidson, on the other hand, criticizes the proximal conception, because it would not be able to explain the public nature of language and he suggests Quine to abandon the proximal conception in favor of distal conception, sustained by himself, according to which such a stimulus would be located in own objects and events about which the sentences speak, ie, in a position farther from the speaker - distal stimulus. Despite the suggestion of Davidson, Quine insists until the end of his work in not officially sustain the distal conception, introducing, however, some modifications in its conception in order to escape the criticism proceeded by the author. Given this di-vergence between the two authors, this work aims to carry out the reconstruction and evaluation of this debate. It should be noted, first of all, that Quine is a philosopher very systematic and his theses are closely interconnected, so it is necessary a more general overview of his philosophy whenever one want to understand a particular problem that is inserted in it, otherwise prejudice the proper understanding of it. Therefore, this work will be divided into two main parts: the first one will be reserved for the attempt to situate the central problem that it will be examined in the wake of broader Quinean philosophy as a whole, while the second part will be devoted to the reconstruction of the debate. The conclusion reached is that the final formulation of the conception of Quine can be considered as satisfactory solution of many problems of the initial formulation of proximal conception since we follow the suggestion of Lars Bergström and understand that the meaning of a observation sentence must consist of a subject s dispositions to assent and dissent to sentence, instead of identifying the meaning with set of proximal stimuli that the speaker ties to sentence. Furthermore, though it may be possible to raise objections to the Quine s final solution, it may be considered more appropriate solution to the problems of proximal conception since compared to the suggestion made by Davidson, because the adoption of conception distal would not be satisfactory for Quine s philosophical purposes.
Há aproximados trinta anos, iniciou-se um debate entre os filósofos W. V. O. Quine e D. Davidson a respeito de onde deveria ser situado, na cadeia causal mundo-falante, o elemento que determina o significado empírico de frases de observação − doravante, chamar-se-á tal elemento de estímulo . De acordo com Quine, que sustenta o que se pode chamar de concepção proximal , tal estímulo estaria localizado na superfície sensorial do falante, ou seja, em posição próxima a este em referida cadeia causal − estímulo proximal −; Davidson, por outro lado, critica a concepção proximal, pelo fato de que a mesma não seria capaz de explicar a natureza pública da linguagem, e sugere a Quine seu abandono em prol da concepção distal, por ele próprio sustentada, conforme a qual tal estímulo estaria situado nos próprios objetos e eventos sobre os quais falam as frases, isto é, em posição maibs distante do falante − estímulo distal. A despeito da sugestão de Davidson, Quine insiste até o final de sua obra em não adotar oficialmente a concepção distal, introduzindo, contudo, algumas modificações em sua concepção a fim de escapar às críticas procedidas por aquele autor. Tendo em vista essa divergência entre os dois autores, a presente dissertação tem como objetivo proceder à reconstrução e avaliação desse debate. Há que se ressaltar, antes de tudo, que Quine é um filósofo muito sistemático e que suas teses estão intimamente conectadas entre si, de modo que se faz necessária uma visão mais geral de sua filosofia sempre que se deseja entender um problema específico que se encontra nela inserido, sob pena de prejudicar a adequada compreensão do mesmo. Por essa razão, este trabalho será dividido em duas partes principais: a primeira delas será reservada à tentativa de situar o problema central que será nele examinado no bojo mais amplo da filosofia quineana como um todo, enquanto a segunda parte será dedicada propriamente à reconstrução do debate. A conclusão a que se chega é que a formulação final da concepção de Quine pode ser considerada satisfatória como solução de muitos problemas da formulação inicial da concepção proximal desde se siga a sugestão de Lars Bergström e se entenda que o significado de uma frase de observação deve consistir nas disposições de um sujeito para assentir ou dissentir a ela, em vez de identificar o significado com o conjunto de estímulos proximais que o falante vincula a ela. Ademais, por mais que seja possível levantar objeções contra a solução final de Quine, ela pode ser considerada a saída mais adequada aos problemas da concepção proximal quando comparada à sugestão feita por Davidson, uma vez que a adoção da concepção distal não seria satisfatória para os propósitos filosóficos de Quine.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis defends the Quine-Putnam indispensability argument for mathematical realism and introduces a new indispensability argument for a substantial conception of truth. Chapters 1 and 2 formulate the main components of the Quine-Putnam argument, namely that virtually all scientific laws quantify over mathematical entities and thus logically presuppose the existence thereof. Chapter 2 contains a detailed discussion of the logical structure of some scientific theories that incorporate or apply mathematics. Chapter 3 then reconstructs the central assumptions of Quine's argument, concluding (provocatively) that "science entails platonism". Chapter 4 contains a brief discussion of some major theories of truth, including deflationary views (redundancy, disquotation). Chapter 5 introduces a new argument against such deflationary views, based on certain logical properties of truth theories. Chapter 6 contains a further discussion of mathematical truth. In particular, non-standard conceptions of mathematical truth such as "if-thenism" and "hermeneuticism". Chapter 7 introduces the programmes of reconstrual and reconstruction proposed by recent nominalism. Chapters 8 discusses modal nominalism, concluding that modalism is implausible as an interpretation of mathematics (if taken seriously, it suffers from exactly those epistemological problems allegedly suffered by realism). Chapter 9 discusses Field's deflationism, whose central motivating idea is that mathematics is (pace Quine and Putnam) dispensable in applications. This turns on a conservativeness claim which, as Shapiro pointed out in 1983, must be incorrect (using Godel's Theorems). I conclude in Chapter 10 that nominalistic views of mathematics and deflationist views of truth are both inadequate to the overall explanatory needs of science.

O presente trabalho trata do relato sobre a intera??o int?rprete-compositor, revestida de vieses individuais ? mediada pelo int?rprete-pesquisador Rudson Ricelli Lima da Silva ? e coletivos ? do compositor Samuel Cavalcanti Correia com o grupo Trompetearte da EMUFRN. Para isto, durante a fase do projeto, idealizamos a feitura de uma obra especialmente para materializar os interesses da presente pesquisa, onde foi determinada apenas a instrumenta??o a ser utilizada. Foi sugerida desde o pr?-projeto, a forma??o de quinteto de trompetes, utilizando os principais instrumentos da fam?lia (em Si?, D?, Mi?, piccolo, e fluguelhorn). A metodologia desenvolvida para esta pesquisa se deu por meio do cumprimento de uma agenda de encontros previamente elaborada, constitu?da de uma s?rie de etapas e organizadas em duas fases, onde abordamos a intera??o desde os primeiros impulsos criativos do compositor e sua desenvoltura criativa. Apresentamos tamb?m, como se deu a prepara??o de excertos da obra no decorrer de ensaios-experimentos, bem como a constru??o de uma interpreta??o e de resultados/consequ?ncias provenientes dessa intera??o.
The present work deals with the report on the interaction interpreter-composer, lined with individual biases - mediated by the interpreter-researcher Rudson Ricelli Lima da Silva - and collectives - of the composer Samuel Cavalcanti Correia with the group Trompetearte of EMUFRN. For this, during the project phase, we idealized the making of a work especially to materialize the interests of the present research, where only the instrumentation to be used was determined. From the pre-project, the trumpet quintet formation was suggested, using the main instruments of the family (in Si?, D?, Mi?, piccolo, and fluguelhorn). The methodology developed for this research was accomplished through the fulfillment of an agenda of meetings previously elaborated, constituted of a series of stages and organized in two phases, where we approach the interaction from the first creative impulses of the composer and his creative resourcefulness. We also present the preparation of excerpts from the work in the course of trial-experiments, as well as the construction of an interpretation and results / consequences from this interaction.
