Tang, Chao. "Model estimations of possible climate changes of surface solar radiation at regional scales over Southern Africa and the South West Indian Ocean." Thesis, La Réunion, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017LARE0055/document.
Full textChanges in Surface Solar Radiation (SSR) have the potential to significantly impact diverse aspects of the climate system, and notably the socio-economic development of any nation. To identify the possible impacts of climate change on SSR at regional scales (~50 km) over Southern Africa and the South West Indian Ocean (SA-SWIO; 0-40°S ; 0- 100°E) up to the end of the 21st century, a slice downscaling experiment consisting of simulations covering three temporal windows: a) the present 1996-2005; b) the future 2046-2055 and 2090-2099 conducted with the Regional Climate Model (RCM) RegCM version 4, driven by the European Center for Medium-range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) ERA-Interim reanalysis (ERAINT, only present) and 2 Global Climate Model (GCMs: HadGEM2-ES and GFDL-ESM2M) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) under RCP8.5 scenario, are performed and evaluated. Since the slice simulation is of limited temporal coverage, number of regional and driven global models and climate change forcings, mainly because of the limit of available computational resources, the study towards a comprehensive knowledge of SSR changes in context of climate change is thus extended: an ensemble consisting of outputs from 20 regional climate downscaling realisations based on 5 RCMs that participated in the Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) program (CORDEX-Africa) along with their 10 driving GCMs from CMIP5 covering southern Africa (0-40°S; 0- 100°E) during the period of 1990-2099 is analyzed under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 up to 2099.The slice experiment indicates that 1) RegCM4 simulates present-day seasonal climatology, (surface air temperature, precipitation and SSR) quite well, but has a negative total cloud cover bias (about -20% in absolute percentage) when forced by the ERAINT and the two GCMs. 2) Internal variability of RegCM4-simulated annual means SSR (about 0.2 W/m2) is of one order smaller than the model bias compared with reference data. 3) RegCM4 simulates SSR changes in opposite signs when driven by the different GCMs under RCP8.5 scenario. 4) Electricity potential calculated using first-order estimation based on the RegCM simulations indicates a change less then 2% to 2099 with respect on present level.It is also found from the ensemble study that: 1) GCMs ensemble generally overestimates SSR by about 1 W/m2 in austral summer (December, January, and February, short as DJF) and 7.5 W/m2 in austral winter (June, July and August, short as JJA), while RCMs ensemble mean shows underestimations of SSR by about -32 W/m2 and -14 W/m2 in summer and winter seasons respectively when driven by GCMs. 2) Multi-model mean projections of SSR change patterns simulated by the GCMs and their embedded RCMs are fairly consistent. 3) GCMs project, in their multi-model means, a statistically significant increase of SSR of about 8 W/m2 in RCP4.5 and 12 W/m2 in RCP8.5 by 2099 over Centre Southern Africa (SA-C) and a highly confident decreasing SSR over Eastern Equatorial Africa (EA-E) of about -5 W/m2 in RCP4.5 and -10 W/m2 in RCP8.5 during the DJF season. RCMs simulate SSR change with statistical confidence over SA-C and EA-E area as well with a little spatial extension compared to GCMs. However, in the JJA season, an increase of SSR is found over EA-E of about 5 W/m2 by 2099 under RCP4.5 and 10 W/m2 under RCP8.5, of similar amplitudes in both the GCMs and RCMs simulations. 4) Significant cloudiness decrease (about -6 % to 2099) is found over continent of SA for GCMs and also shown in RCMs. 5) Larger SSR changes are found in the RCP8.5 scenario than in the RCP4.5 scenario in 2099, with about 2.5 W/m2 enhanced changes in GCMs and about 5 W/m2 in RCMs. 6) Either the biases or the changes pattern of SSR are overall correlated with the patterns of total cloud cover from RCMs in CORDEX-Africa program (for RegCM4 as well). The slice experiment indicates that

Full textThe aim of this Master´s thesis is to examine which type of regime the state Iran is. There has been much research on this issue and the discussion is not over yet. I have departed from three theoretical perspectives in order to understand which type of regime the Middle Eastern nation is: theocracy, democracy and hybrid regime. The theocratic regimetype is composed by David L. Websters archeological theory about governments ruled by God. For the democratic theory in this study Robert Dahls analytical framework about democracy and polyarchy is used. The hybrid regime is mainly represented by Andreas Schedler indicators. A qualitative case study approach is used for the purpose of this study where I have constructed an analytical framework containing indicators in order to apply these on the three regime models. The results and conclusion I can draw from this study is that Iran is more like a hybrid regime. However, there are several reservations and there need to be more studies to qualify this suggestion.

Full textThe main task of Global Ocean Governance (GOG) is to govern and organize actor’s exploitation of the resources that the seas that are not covered by national jurisdiction provide, in a sustainable manner. But after decades of state’s ignorance towards theregime on a sustainable use of the resources of the seas that the United Nation’s General Assembly (UNGA) has been aiming to create, the regime has shown to be dysfunctional.Even if states would benefit rationally from cooperation for a sustainable use of the resources that the seas provide through a moratorium on bottom trawling of the high seas, such cooperation is not in place. It is clear that the regime is dysfunctional. The question is why – that is, in what way the regime is insufficient in providing a sustainable use of the resources of the high seas. In order to analyse why the regime is flawed, an evaluation of the regime’s (in)efficiency is required.There is no consensus among regime theorists of what makes an (in)effective regime and how a regime’s effectiveness can be measured. The main scientific contribution of this study is to contribute with information on what criteria makes an effective or an ineffective regime. The purpose of this study is not to examine this question per se, but to, through the analysis of how the regime on a moratorium of bottom trawling in the high seas is lacking, provide to the scientific regime discussion through theory consumption.Through Greene’s (1996) criteria on what makes a regime (in)effective, I have analysed how the regime, it’s creator’s, and the surroundings of the regime, fails. A key- finding of my analysis is that UNGA fails because of its caution to steer state’s behaviour through a regime, that is, the stress of its resolutions for a moratorium on bottom trawling in the high seas are lacking.

Full textForecasting and Tracking the evolution of Cloud Clusters (ForTraCC) technique and numerical simulations have been used to understand the development of Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs). In general, these systems are associated with intense rainfall, wind gusts, hail and sometimes with tornados. This work has adapted the ForTraCC to track MCSs in the outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) from RegCM4 climatic simulations. The RegCM4 was nested in ERA-Interim reanalysis in a domain covering the South America (SA) for the periods of October-May (8 months) of 1997-2003. The RegCM4 simulated climatology reproduced the main atmospheric patterns observed in SA, with best performance in its southern part. The MCSs\' morphological and kinematic features were investigated in the tropical (AMZ) and subtropical (BP) sectors. ForTraCC tracked a similar number of MCSs in both regions, but the systems presented dierent features. In AMZ (BP) the simulations show the maximum frequency of MCSs in November (January). In terms of life cycle, in the AMZ (BP) the MCSs start at 03 UTC (09 UTC), attain the maximum extension at 06 UTC (14 UTC) and dissipate at 12 UTC (23-00 UTC). This indicates a discrepancy between simulated and observed MCSs\' life cycle according to the literature, which shows MCSs in AMZ following mainly the solar radiation cycle. The strong infuence of low level jet (LLJ) could explain the preferred time (09 UTC) of initiation of MCSs in the BP. In the simulations, the subtropical MCSs are generally larger, long-lived and colder and they are more linear than tropical ones, features also reported in the literature. In AMZ the MCSs do not show a preferential place for genesis and dissipation neither typical trajectories, while in BP they have no preferential place to start but move mainly eastward. Additionally, mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs) were tracked in the area between 10-45ºS and 75-30ºW. On average, the simulated MCCs form at 04 UTC, attain the maximum extension at 12 UTC (coinciding with maximum activity of LLJ), and dissipate at 15 UTC and 23 UTC. The MCCs are mostly continental, last approximately 16.5 hours (long-lived than reported in observations) and are larger than MCSs. The central-northern Argentina, southern-southeastern Brazil and southern Peru are the preferred regions for genesis of simulated MCCs, which present a typical eastward trajectory. Although there are some restrictions and dierences (e.g. horizontal resolution, interval between \"images\") in the used criteria to classify the simulated MCSs and MCCs and literature, the RegCM4 simulated the main observed morphological and kinematics features of these systems.

Full textThe main goal of this study is to investigate if the RegCM3 model (Regional Climate Model version 3) is able to simulate the spatial patterns of some annual and seasonal climate indices of temperature and precipitation trend over South America for the present climate (1961-1990). The analysis is done for three different simulations where the model was running with different cumulus parametrization, i.e, Grell and Emanuel. An algorithm based on the software RClimDex was developed to calculate the indices. Different data sources such as the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis, individual observational stations and others were used to estimate the annual and seasonal indices of temperature and precipitation for the same region and period. Correlation and linear regression coefficients analysis were used in the results comparison. In general, the results suggest that the datasets can provide useful information about annual and seasonal indices of temperature and precipitation at individual grid cells in South America during the period 1961-1990. However, the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis showed reversal trend signals for some indices over Argentina. Within the three simulations with the RegCM3 model, the trends of the annual and seasonal indices of temperature and precipitation over South America are better reproduced by the Emanuel (s2) and Grell (s1) schemes, respectively. The RegCM3(s1) simulates the change to wetter conditions in South America through the r95p, prcptot and rx5day annual indices, particularly in the austral winter. On the other hand, the opposite signal of the trends in cdd and cwd indices, that indicates an increase in the number of days with precipitation, was not well represented by the model. The warming in minimum temperature as a consequence of the increase in the frequency of warm nights and the decrease of cold nights observed all over the South American continent was correctly simulated by the RegCM3(s2). Although the observed maximum temperature extremes did not show any special feature, the simulations with Grell scheme were able to represent the spatial patterns of the warm and cold days indices trend similar to the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis. The spatial distributions of the annual indices of temperature and precipitation trend obtained from the RegCM3(s2 and s1, respectively) and HadAM3 simulations over South America during the period 1961-1990 are very similar, though the HadAM3 shows a trend less intense. For the annual and seasonal indices of temperature, the HadAM3 simulation is slightly better than the RegCM3 running, while the opposite is found to the annual and seasonal indices of precipitation.

Full textThe present work proposes to evaluate the ability of the Regional Climatic Model (RegCM4) to simulate the temporal and spatial variability of the signal associated with the propagation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation in the tropics. The evaluation was done by comparing the observed data obtained from the Reanalysis of the ERA-Interim and the data simulated by RegCM4, for the period from 2005 to 2009. Daily global data were used for precipitation, Emergent Long Wave Radiation and zonal wind components at 850 and 200 hPa from the ERA-Interim Reanalysis, both in the simulation and in the observed data. As initial conditions of the model, we chose to use the tropical band, whose main characteristic is to simulate the circulation and the tropical precipitation patterns. The validation of the model was performed with the daily precipitation of the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP). All data were filtered in the 30-60 day scale in order to observe the signal concerning the MJO. The analysis of the global precipitation and Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) patterns, after filtration, allowed the selection of five areas, with signs associated to the MJO, being: Africa (AFR), Indonesia (IND), North of South America (NAS), Northeast Brazil (NEB) e Southeast Brazil (SEB). The NEB area presented linear correlation values of 0,63 and 0,32 for the anomaly and filtered anomaly of OLR, respectively. The SEB area presented linear correlation values of 0.30 and 0.54 for the anomaly and anomaly of filtered OLR. The BIAS calculated between the model and GPCP precipitation for the dry (MAY-OCT) and rainy seasons (NOV-APR) showed that for South America, South Africa and Indian continent, the model overestimates precipitation values of GPCP in the two seasons. The multivariate analysis between OLR, zonal wind at 850 and 200 hp compared to that obtained for Era-Interim data, the EOF1 applied to RegCM4 data presents convection and convection inhibition in different areas between 15º N and 15º S. While the minimum Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF1) values for OLR (convection enhancement) of the Era-Interim are observed close to 90º E, the minimum OLR values for the RegCM4 data are observed close to 120º O, with a longitudinal lag of 30º. And while maximum EOF1 values for OLR (convection inhibition) of the ERA-Interim are observed close to 150º E, the maximum values for the simulated data by RegCM4 are observed close to 60º E, with a longitudinal lag of 90º.

Full textO objetivo principal desta dissertação é investigar e socializar reflexões sobre as concepções de cidade produzidas por livros didáticos de Estudos Sociais publicados pela Companhia Editora Nacional (CEN) durante a década de 1970 no Brasil. O presente trabalho é fruto de pesquisas que envolvem conhecimentos de diferentes áreas das Ciências Humanas, em especial da História, da Geografia e da Educação, buscando em suas análises elementos metodológicos a partir do materialismo histórico-dialético em uma geografia e em uma história marxistas (LACOSTE, 2008; BOURDÉ; MARTIN, 2012). Questões relativas à cultura escolar são abordadas nesta pesquisa, sobretudo no que se refere aos diferentes materiais didáticos utilizados por professores e estudantes, para a compreensão das questões educacionais (JULIA, 2001). Nessa direção, procuramos compreender o que são e como problematizar os livros didáticos, a fim de pensá-los como recursos didáticos, como elementos culturais e como mercadorias. Investigamos a história dos Estudos Sociais na educação brasileira, em especial suas principais transformações ocorridas durante os anos do Regime Ditatorial Militar brasileiro. Ademais, discutimos o que são as cidades, estudando-as sob a ótica do capital. A fim de alcançar os objetivos principais e compreender as concepções de cidades presentes nos livros didáticos de Estudos Sociais, optamos por selecionar oito livros didáticos publicados pela CEN no período recortado. Quanto às culturas escolares, os livros didáticos nos auxiliaram a compreender que os Estudos Sociais não impuseram um fim à Geografia e à História escolares, pois os conteúdos disciplinares geográficos e históricos estavam presentes de forma clara em todos os livros analisados. Foi possível constatar também que cinco dos livros possuíam suas narrativas históricas e geográficas em uma perspectiva progressista de cidade, da economia e de sociedade. Já em outros dois, as cidades da década de 1970 estão praticamente ausentes, o que reforça a perspectiva de uma obra didática de história, que estava voltada para questões do passado. Dentre os livros analisados, verificou-se que apenas um possui abordagens problematizadoras em relação às cidades, às Revoluções Industriais e ao discurso do progresso econômico e social

Full textThe land use and land cover changes modify the air temperature, precipitation, air moisture, energy balance and regional and global circulations. Consequently, the land use and land cover maps and its physical-chemical and biological properties are important variables for numerical modeling of terrestrial systems. However, in most of regional weather and climate models the land use and land cover maps are not frequently updated, being out-of-date and, influencing the results of simulations. Therefore, this work has as main objective to analyze the impacts in numerical simulations by RegCM4 of land use and land cover maps updating, as well as the alteration of physical parameters, such as the leaf area index (LAI), the visible (<0.7 m) and near infrared and medium (> 0.7 m) reflectance used by the Biosphere Atmosphere Transfer Scheme (BATS). The validation of simulated precipitation by comparison to the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) data is also an objective. The comparison between monthly precipitation data estimated by TRMM and the 183 weather stations distributed throughout Brazil presented a concordance of approximately 97%. Also related to rainfall, maximum and minimum temperature simulations, better assessments of RegCM4 were found when SST-ERA-Interim, ERA-Interim reanalysis and cumulus parameterization proposed by Emmanuel were used. In addition, the update of the South America 2007 land use and land cover map used by BATS has improved the simulation of precipitation in 10%, increasing the correlation coefficient from 0.84 to 0.92 (significant at p <0.05, t-test student). Moreover, the results show good agreement between simulated and observed maximum and minimum temperature, with correlation coefficients near to 0.95 for both variables. Correspondingly, the simulations performed with adjustments on maximum fractional of vegetation cover showed precipitation mean value 18% above the observed data. Changes in visible and infrared reflectance and in the leaf area index overestimated the precipitation in 19% and 23%, respectively. It is noteworthy that all simulations showed good agreement for maximum and minimum temperature, with values very close to those observed. The three-monthly (seasonal) change of the physical parameters, which characterize the surface model BATS, provided a reduction of 3% in the mean simulated precipitation if compared to the results obtained without seasonal variation of surface parameters. The linear correlation between simulated and observed monthly precipitation obtained by considering seasonal changes in the surface parameter was equal to 92% (significant at p <0.05, Student\'s t-test). Regarding to atmospheric variables, the more significant differences observed in evapotranspiration, precipitation, relative humidity and temperature above two meters from surface are located in the northwest of Mato Grosso state, at the Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso states and the Bolivia bordering (placed on the Brazilian Pantanal wetlands), over Northeastern Brazil region, northwestern Paraguay, and River Plate Basin, among others. These important differences are due to the substitution of Tropical Rain Forest by pasture and agriculture and, the replacement of agricultural areas by areas of grass pasture, shrub and Deciduous Forest.

Full textMortar coatings are made through of several steps, such as substrate preparation, mortar plaster and decorative finish. Despite being an rather widespread technique, In many cases, optimized and efficient production is still not consolidated, leading to failure, substantial losses and problems with performance. The elimination of some steps is presented as a feasible opportunity to increase productivity, waste reduction, reduce of consumption of raw materials and system simplification. In this context, the monolayer mortar coating system is an interesting option. This system uses a pigmented coating mortar, eliminating the painting and can be applied to masonry substrates or structural concrete. As this is a decorative coating, The system must be able to attend the aesthetic expectations, showing conformity of color throughout coated extension. However, due to eliminate steps and reduce the thickness to be a mortar with more complex compared to the traditional technique used, the color variations can occur in the coating. Thus, this study aim to identify factors that influence the color variation of the decorative monolayer coating. Thus, four substrates were evaluated (3 glass and ceramic, fired at 800, 900 and 1000°C) and used different coating thicknesses (1, 2 and 3 cm). This paper also evaluated the effect of the amount of water in the mixture and the initial cure temperature. It was used a spectrophotometer to check the color response, and adopted the L*a*b* and L*C*h(°). The analysis have been made calculating the effect of the variables on color and then the color difference ΔE. The differences obtained are classified from its perception. It was observed that in most cases, the effects taxes have generated some variation in the factors that make up the color. However, not always produced notable changes in color. The greatest differences in color were obtained at early ages.

Os modelos numéricos se propõem a simular tanto os processos de transporte como os processos químicos que ocorrem num corpo hídrico. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar os processos que determinam a qualidade das águas da Lagoa dos P atos, utilizando pela primeira vez o modelo Delft3D da WL | Delft Hydraulics. Neste modelo foram aplicados os dados obtidos no Programa para o Desenvolvimento Racional, Recuperação e Gerenciamento Ambiental da Lagoa dos Patos/Mirim – Pró Mar de Dentro, que realizou onze cruzeiros de amostragem, durante o período compreendido entre fevereiro de 1999 e janeiro de 2000. A primeira etapa realizada foi a validação do modelo hidrodinâmico, que foi feita comparando-se os dados de salinidade obtidos em campo ao longo da Lagoa com os resultados das simulações. Em seguida, com o modelo hidrodinâmico validado, foi aplicado o modelo de qualidade de água. Os seguintes parâmetros foram avaliados: material em suspensão, oxigênio dissolvido, DBO, nitrato, nitrito, amônio, nitrogênio total, fosfato, fósforo total, carbono orgânico total, sílica, cromo, cobre, zinco, chumbo, níquel, cádmio, ferro. Os resultados mostraram que o modelo foi validado, apresentando bons resultados na simulação da circulação da Lagoa dos Patos. Apesar de alguns desvios terem sido percebidos, não se deveram propriamente ao modelo e sim a ausência de uma melhor distribuição temporal e espacial de dados para alimentá-lo. A avaliação dos parâmetros de qualidade de água indicou que os processos químicos e físicos que ocorrem na Lagoa variam espacialmente e temporalmente, dependendo principalmente das condições metereológicas da região. Apesar das diversas influências antrópicas presentes na Lagoa dos Patos, as águas do eixo principal da Lagoa não apresentaram sérias contaminações que tragam riscos aos ecossistemas que a cercam e dela dependem. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, o modelo poderia tornar-se uma importante ferramenta na previsão e avaliação da qualidade da água da Lagoa dos Patos.
Numeric models intend to simulate both the transport and chemical processes that happen in a water body. The aim of this work is to evaluate the processes that govern the quality of the Patos Lagoon water, using for the first time Delft3D model, from WL | Delft Hydraulics. The model was applied using data obtained during the project denominated “Programa para o Desenvolvimento Racional, Recuperação e Gerenciamento Ambiental da Lagoa dos Patos/Mirim – Pró Mar de Dentro”, wich carried out eleven sampling campaigns, during the period of February 1999 and January 2000. First stage, consisted hydrodynamic model validation, that was made comparing the salinity data obtained during the samplig with the simulations results. Second stage, with the hydrodynamic model validated, the water quality model was applied. The following parameters were evaluated: suspended matter, dissolved oxygen, BOD, nitrate, nitrito, ammonium, total nitrogen, phosphate, total phosphorous, total organic carbon, silicate, chromium, copper, zinc, lead, nickel, cadmium, iron. The results showed that the model was validated, presenting good results in the circulation simulation of the Patos Lagoon. In spite of some deviations have been observed, they were not due properly to the model, but due the absence of more precise data for apply in the model. The evaluation of the water quality parameters indicated that chemical and physical processes that happen in the Lagoon have variation in the space and in the time, mainly depending on the metereological conditions of the region. In spite of several antropogenics influences present in the Patos Lagoon, waters in your main axis didn't present contaminations that bring risks to the survival of the ecossystems that surround and depend on this Lagoon. According to the obtained results, the model could become an important tool in the forecast and evaluation of the water quality of the Patos Lagoon.

Full textThe Historia regum Britannie of Geoffrey of Monmouth was translated thrice in the Middle Ages : in the thirteenth century Estoire de Brutus (BNF fr. 17177), in the early fifteenth century Croniques des Bretons (BNF fr. 2806, 5621, 16939 and Vatican Regius Latinus 871) and in the Roman de Brut, written by Jehan Wauquelin in 1444-1445 (BL Lansdowne and KBR 10415-10416). These texts have no connection between them and are all based on the "Vulgate" version of the Historia. The Estoire. . . Adds to it rare interpolations from the Roman de Brut by Wace, and the Croniques. . . Mix Wace up with the Historia in their 49 first chapters. Wauquelin's text is the only one showing no influence of Wace. We edit thoroughly two of these translations (BNF fr. 17177 and the Roman de Brut) and two fragments of the Croniques : the Trojan prologue and Merlin's prophecies. The three translators show by their craft a good understanding of their source, and all have read the Historia as a work of history

Full textThe object of this thesis is the survey of the Gesta Regum Anglorum – written by the Benedictine monk William of Malmesbury –, where are explored the subjects of legitimacy, patronage and propaganda. The Gesta Regum are, in fact, without a manifest client. The title of the thesis reveals immediately this aspect, since it extracts a passage from the prologue to the first book: «propter adhorantium auctoritatem voluntate» that we could translate: « for the eminent exhortations that I received». Thus, after the analysis of the three prefatory letters, we assumed that William of Malmesbury would like to dedicate the Gesta Regum Anglorum, in their final version, to Robert Earl of Gloucester. Therefore we decided to analyze the legitimization’s aspect of the work and the possibility that it could serve as a tool to receive the patronage from the Earl to Malmesbury’ abbey. The second part of this survey focuses on the comparison between the two main recensions of the Gesta Regum Anglorum. In order to analyze the changes between the first (completed in 1126/27) and the second recension (completed between 1135 and 1140), we supposed that the aim of these alterations was the mitigation of some aspects of the main ancestors of Robert of Gloucester (William I and William II). In the third part of the thesis, we focus on the aspect of propaganda in favor of the monastery where William used to live and especially in favor of the regular clergy, during the dichotomy that characterized the former and the secular clergy in that years. Finally, in the last part, we analyze one more time the dimension of legitimization of the Gesta Regum Anglorum, trying to provide an analysis of the three portraits of the Norman kings of England, illustrated in the final three books of the work.

Full textThe legal framework for foreign investment in Algeria was marked by profound changes since the enactment of the first investment code in 1963 This change has not always been in line with the process of national economic development and change in the international environment . The socialist model of economic management that prevailed from the mid 60s to mid 80s gradually gave way to a gradual withdrawal of the state from the economic field. There has since been an emergence of a private sector that is still trying to find its place, a wave of privatization, liberalization of foreign trade and to rely on foreign capital to finance the development will économique.Cette Manifest access to a market economy is even more noticeable in the latest investment Code of 2001 These efforts compliance of domestic investment law with the international investment law are supported by a political speech offensif.Néanmoins, the legal environment incentive loses its appeal when confronted or to enactments in regulation of foreign trade and foreign exchange regulations, or administrative environment that is implemented in all these laws. This comparison is particularly instructive about the lack of consistency in state policy with respect to foreign investment. This reveals the balance of interest between the Algerian authorities increasing the contribution of foreign investment to national economic and technological potential and safeguarding sovereignty nationale.Ainsi, questioning the Algerian legislative investment policy allows us to understand the foundations of the Algerian doctrine of foreign investment. This understanding promotes the emergence of a strategy that balances attractiveness and preservation of public interest

Full textThe objective of this study was to define a methodology for monitoring a flooded rice crop forecast for Rio Grande do Sul, and to evaluate the effect of the flood time on growth, development and rice productivity. Two experiments were conducted during the 2013/14 growing season, using a randomized blocks design with four replications. The treatments in Experiment 1 were flooding in V3, V5, V8 and V9, and in Experiment 2 the treatments were flooding in V5, V8, V9 and V10. The onset of flooding did not influence the emission of leaves, the final leaf number, the final number of tillers and crop development. Leaf growth rate is affected by the onset of flooding when rainfall was less than the crop evapotranspiration. It is not clear if kernel yield is or not affected by the time that flooding starts. To define a methodology for monitoring a flooded rice crop forecast for Rio Grande do Sul, the SimulArroz rice model were coupled to regional climate model RegCM4 for generation the daily seasonal forecast. Nine members of RegCM4 model were used, with different parameterization (01, 07, 10, 13, 19, 22, 31, 34 and 37) and four boots (01, 02, 3:04) per month, with daily data of minimum temperature, maximum temperature and solar radiation. Three points with 45 km resolution grid were used for generating data of the minimum temperature (°C) maximum temperature (°C) and solar radiation (MJ m-2 day-1), covering the municipalities of Restinga Seca, Itaqui and Uruguaiana. The predictions were compared with SimulArroz crop monitoring with INMET automatic weather stations data and data collected in three cropping areas in Restinga Seca and 2 in Itaqui. The compared variables were leaf emission (Haun Stage - HS), final leaf number, development stage (COUNCE et al., 2000) and productivity (Mg ha-1). The best predicting irrigated rice crop forecast in Rio Grande do Sul were: member 31 minimum temperature, member 34 maximum temperature and a member 01 solar radiation (M31M34M01); minimum and maximum temperature and solar radiation boot 01 member 19 (M19S01) and; minimum and maximum temperature and solar radiation boot 03 member 01 (M01S03). The seasonal forecast generated by RegCM4 model coupled to SimulArroz rice model made possible the numerical prediction of rice crop in Rio Grande do Sul.
O objetivo deste trabalho foi definir uma metodologia para acompanhamento e previsão de safra de arroz irrigado para o Rio Grande do Sul, e avaliar o efeito da época de inundação sobre variáveis de crescimento, desenvolvimento e produtividade de arroz irrigado. Foram conduzidos dois experimentos durante o ano agrícola 2013/14, em delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos no Experimento 1 foram: inundação em V3, V5, V8 e V9, e no Experimento 2 os tratamentos foram: inundação em V5, V8, V9 e V10. A época de inundação não influenciou a emissão de folhas, o número final de folhas, o número final de perfilhos e o desenvolvimento da cultura. A taxa de crescimento foliar quando a precipitação foi menor que a evapotranspiração da cultura do arroz. Não é clara se a produtividade de grãos é ou não afetada pela época de inundação do solo. Para definir uma metodologia para acompanhamento e previsão de safra de arroz irrigado para o Rio Grande do Sul, foi utilizado como modelo de arroz o SimulArroz, acoplado ao modelo climático regional RegCM4 para geração dos dados meteorológicos diários da previsão sazonal. Foram utilizados nove membros do modelo RegCM4, com diferentes parametrizações (01, 07, 10, 13, 19, 22, 31, 34 e 37), e quatro inicializações (01, 02, 03 e 04) por mês, com dados diários de temperatura mínima, temperatura máxima e radiação solar.Três pontos de resolução de 45 km de grade foram utilizados para geração dos dados de temperatura mínima (°C), temperatura máxima (°C) e radiação solar (MJ m-2 dia-1), abrangendo os municípios de Restinga Seca, Itaqui e Uruguaiana. As previsões foram comparadas com o acompanhamento de safra do SimulArroz rodado com dados das estações meteorológicas automáticas do INMET, e com dados observados em 3 lavouras em Restinga Seca e 2 em Itaqui. As variáveis comparadas foram emissão de folhas (Haun Stage - HS), número final de folhas, estádio de desenvolvimento (COUNCE et al., 2000) e produtividade (Mg ha-1). As melhores previsões para realizar previsão de safra de arroz irrigado no Rio Grande do Sul foram: temperatura mínima do membro 31, temperatura máxima do membro 34 e radiação solar do membro 01 (M31M34M01); temperatura mínima, máxima e radiação solar da inicialização 01 do membro 19 (M19S01) e; temperatura mínima, máxima e radiação solar da inicialização 03 do membro 01 (M01S03). A previsão sazonal gerada pelo modelo RegCM4 acoplado ao modelo de arroz SimulArroz possibilitou a previsão numérica de safra de arroz para o Rio Grande do Sul.

Full textThe construction industry supply chain has a great influence on country macro economy. In contrast, there is the indiscriminate consumption of non-renewable raw materials, production processes inefficient, plus a large amount of waste generated. The construction materials recycling plays an important role for the sustainability since it is the conservation of natural resources and reducing landfill areas. The main focus of this research is the study of construction and demolition waste, specifically recycled coarse aggregate concrete (AGRC). The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the influence of the main parameters governing the variability of concrete made with recycled coarse aggregate concrete (AGRC), aiming at technology transfer. The experimental program was divided into nine steps. In the early stages, concrete residue was studied, their origin and test methods were analyzed, and to end materials were characterized. In the intermediate stages, a study was made to understand the effect of varying particle size during the production process of structural concrete. And in the final stages studies were made in AGRC saturation condition. With the results it can be concluded that with an efficient control of AGRC variability parameter it is possible to produce concrete with structural objectives, aiming thereby to technology transfer.

Full textThe area of research is data mining based on multidimensional data visual analysis. This allows researcher to participate in the process of data analysis directly, to understand the complex data better and to make the best decisions. The objective of the dissertation is to create a method for making a multidimensional data projection on the plane such that the researcher could see and assess the intergroup similarities and differences of multidimensional points. In order to achieve the target, a new hybrid neural network is proposed and investigated. This neural network integrates the ideas both of the radial basis function neural network and that of a multilayer perceptron, which has the properties of a ''bottleneck'' neural network. The new network is used for the visual analysis of multidimensional data in such a way that the output values of the neurons of the last hidden layer are the two-dimensional or three-dimensional projections of the multidimensional data, when the multidimensional data is given to the network. A peculiarity of the network is that the visualization results on the plane reflect the general structure of the data (clusters, proximity between clusters, intergroup similarities of points) rather than the location of multidimensional points.

Full textThis paper presents the climatology of precipitation for the state of Rio Grande do Sul using the regional climate model RegCM3, 3rd version of the model. Four 30- year Climatologies were carried for the interval from 1975 to 2005 for the four convective schemes present in the model, Grell (1993) that has two locks, Arakawa and Schubert (1974) and Frisch and Chappell (1980), the modified Kuo by Anthes (1977) and Emanuell (1991). For each convective scheme were made four Climatologies one for each season: Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring. From real data drawn from various sources and compiled by Liebmann and Allured, (2005), quarterly Climatologies were developed with real data (Observed) making it possible to analyze the sensitivity of the convective schemes through the Simulated Climatologies by RegCM3. The work also presents statistical analyzes to evaluate the performance of each convective scheme relating to the pattern of precipitation found in Climatologies of real data and also the climatological distribution variability, climatological distribution frequency and climatological precipitation anomalies .To analyze the distribution were evaluated daily average rainfall and maximum daily rainfall daily maximum minimum. To evaluate the dispersion between the observed and simulated values, were made measured dispersion and correlation with a significance level of 99%, the calculus of quantiles, standard deviation, IQR, RMSE and it was possible to estimate with higher degree of certainty which convective scheme can get closer to the observed climatology.
O presente trabalho apresenta as climatologias de precipitação para o estado do Rio Grande do Sul utilizando o modelo climático regional RegCM3, 3ª versão do modelo. Foram realizadas quatro climatologias de 30 anos para o intervalo de 1975 a 2005 para os quatro esquemas convectivos presentes no modelo, Grell que possui dois fechamentos, Arakawa e Schubert e Frisch e Chappell, o esquema Kuo modificado por Anthes e Emanuell. Para cada esquema convectivo foram feitas quatro climatologias sendo uma para cada estação do ano: Verão, Outono, Inverno e Primavera. A partir de dados reais retirados de diversas fontes e compilados por Liebmann e Allured, (2005), foram desenvolvidas climatologias trimestrais com dados reais (Observados) o que possibilitou analisar a sensibilidade dos esquemas convectivos através das climatologias simuladas pelo RegCM3. O Trabalho ainda apresenta análises estatísticas para avaliar o comportamento de cada esquema convectivo em relação padrão de precipitação encontrada nas climatologias de dados reais, bem como a variabilidade na distribuição climatológica, freqüência de distribuição climatológica, anomalias de precipitação climatológica. Para análise da distribuição diária foram avaliadas médias diárias de precipitação bem como a precipitação máxima diária e mínima máxima diária. Para avaliar a dispersão entre os valores Observados e Simulados, foram feitas medidas de dispersão como correlação a um nível de significância de 99%, cálculo do Quantis, Desvio Padrão, IQR, RMSE e assim foi possível estimar com um nível maior de certeza qual esquema convectivo consegue se aproximar mais da climatologia observada.

The daily activity pattern of social wasps can be influenced by different mechanisms such as environmental restrictions or interspecific interactions. However, the importance of interspecific interactions on the determination of the daily activity patterns may decrease on habitats with high environmental complexity. In this sense, we evaluated two hypotheses in order to understand what factors affect the daily activity patterns of social wasps: 1) The abundance overlap of different species during the day is lower when environmental complexity is greater, and 2) Thermal restrictions may constrain wasp activity. We counted the abundance of several wasp species foraging throughout the day on extrafloral nectaries in two plantations of caupi bean: on esurrounded by a pasture matrix (low structural complexity) and the other surrounded by fruit trees (high structural complexity). Afterwards, we evaluated the abundance overlap during the day, the abundance variations per hour and the preferential time of start and end of day activity. Temporal overlapping between species during the day was high for both plantations. The majority of species had a bimodal abundance pattern, with one abundance peak during the morning and the other during the afternoon. Species of major size started their activity during later hours, while species of minor size were active on every hour. These results indicate two scenarios: first, competition seems to below in these communities and second, temperature seems to be particularly restrictive for the activity of species of greater size.
A coleta de recursos gluc?dios pelas vespas sociais ao longo do dia pode variar como resposta a diferentes mecanismos, podendo responder a restri??es ambientais ou a intera??es interespec?ficas. Por?m, a import?ncia relativa das intera??es interespec?ficas pode ser reduzida em sistemas com maior complexidade ambiental. Para compreender esse efeito, avaliamos as seguintes hip?teses: 1) A sobreposi??o nos hor?rios de forrageamento das esp?cies de vespas sociais ao longo do dia ? menor quando a complexidade ambiental ? maior e 2) o padr?o de atividade di?rio das vespas ao longo do dia ? determinado por restri??es ambientais. Para isso, quantificamos a abund?ncia de diferentes esp?cies de vespas sociais forrageando em nect?rios extraflorais em duas planta??es de do feij?o caupi: uma circundada por matriz de pasto (baixa complexidade estrutural) e outra por frut?feras (alta complexidade estrutural). Iniciamos as observa??es e coletas ao longo do dia, depois que os NEFs do feij?o estavam ativos, e avaliamos o padr?o de sobreposi??o temporal de abund?ncia, o padr?o de abund?ncia em cada hor?rio, bem como a rela??o entre o hor?rio de in?cio e fim de atividade e o tamanho de cada esp?cie. A sobreposi??o temporal foi alta para as duas ?reas. O padr?o de abund?ncia foi bimodal ao longo do dia. As esp?cies de maior tamanho entraram em atividade em hor?rios mais tardios enquanto as esp?cies de pequeno tamanho n?o apresentaram um padr?o de inicio e fim de atividade. Esses resultados indicam que a competi??o entre esp?cies de vespas sociais ? baixa, permitindo a alta sobreposi??o do hor?rio de atividade nas duas ?reas.

Full textThis research emerge on the interest of demonstrating the important role played by labor unrest in the socio-political and economic life in the Catalan and Spanish state framework making the labor movement one of the strongest social movement of the time, through strikes and other forms of protest, which although illegal, were a common reality in labor relations, and it turns to be an element of continued political tension that came from the repressive attitudes of businessmen and government authorities. The spatiotemporal location is placed on the Barcelona metropolitan area in between the years 1961-1975. It includes the entire stage of the Francoist economical develop, a period of significant social transformation that brought economic growth in the sixties along with the changing shape of Barcelona and its Metropolitan area, and subsequent years of economic crisis stemming from oil crisis which caused an extraordinary labor unrest assumed in numerous labor disputes. This geographical area, statewide, was one of the places where the labor movement reached greater relevance and triggered a great transformation, that arise of the experience of the combined local working class with a new working class that comes from immigration who helped to renovate Catalan working class. The investigation begins with an introduction to the socio-historical context of the subjects exposed above and goes along an analysis of the Sindicato Vertical Spanish Vertical Union and especially related to the figure of the Jurados de Empresa, Company Juries, based on practical examples of the company Soler Almirall and the Banco Central who represent two very different models in their features. Also figures in this work prominently labor movement's relationship with other social movements: Apostolic Christians, autonomous workers and female militancy. It tries to prove how the events of collective action extrapolated in all the social movements and the contributions made by them towards the labor movement. The main theme of the thesis deals with the characteristics of the labor unrest. By way of introduction, the eighth chapter runs on labor strikes legislation, which investigates and compares the legislation of the Second Republic era, the Francoist and Constitutional periods. The study on the characteristics of the labor unrest is reinforced by an extensive database covering the characteristics, with a chronological order, each of the conflicts: periodization, businesses, causes, production sectors, geographical location, size, duration, resolution and incidents (forms of struggle). In the database it appears as itself part of the investigation, and are included primarily conflicts of a certain magnitude and duration, affecting the normal development of production: total or partial unemployment, poor performance and strike overtime and mobilizations political-union. Quantitative tables are also added on each of the chapters and subchapters resulting, in which numerical and percentage ratio of every year and from 1969 it’s made on a quarterly basis, which helps to understand the dynamics and the tendency of how conflict arises in every year and even in shorter periods. The main sources used for the preparation of the database are the legal and clandestine press.

Resumo: A Historia Regum Brittaniae (História dos reis da Bretanha), de Geoffrey de Monmouth - escrita por volta de 1136 -, é conhecida como a primeira manifestação escrita da literatura arturiana, também chamada Matéria de Bretanha. A partir desta obra, muitos escritores compuseram seus trabalhos baseados na lendária história medieval do monarca da Bretanha: o rei Artur. Desde então, a história do rei Artur tem sido usada tanto como fato real quanto como ficcional em vários textos e contextos. Esse estudo, além dessa incorporação do material arturiano - desde o século XlI até o XIV - por parte dos romans ao longo da literatura medieval, pretende analisar o uso deste material nos primeiros textos históricos peninsulares escritos em língua vernácula: a General Estoria (1272-1284), de Afonso X, O Sábio, e o Livro de Linhagens (1340-1344), composto por Pedro de Barcelos
Abstract: The Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the kings of Britain) - written in 1136 by Geoffiey of Monmouth -, is known as the first written Arthurian material. From this, many writers have composed our works based on that legendary medieval sovereign of Britain: the King Arthur. Since that time, the king Arthur's history has been used as much as real or fiction fact in various texts and contexts. This present study, besides this Arthurian material incorporation - from the twelfth to the fourteenth century - by the romans through the medieval literature, intends to analyse the use of this Arthurian material in the first peninsular historic texts written in vernacular language: the General Estoria (1272-1284), by Afonso, The Wise, and the Livro de Linhagens (1340-1344), composed by Pedro de Barcelos

Full textHow weather and climate influence man and society, are main targets since Hippocrates wrote \"Airs, waters and places\", 400 BC. Thermal comfort indices, in development since the twentieth century, are able to quantify these interactions by flexible and accessible applications, despite their own limitations. Although part of the biometeorological studies address climate change, only few deals with future scenarios. Therefore, the main objective is to evaluate the climatological behavior of thermal comfort indices, such as the Discomfort Index (ID), Resultant Temperature (TR) and the Resultant Temperature with the wind (TRv) in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (MRSP). Climatological behavior is analyzed for three time slices (1960 to 1990, 2010 to 2040 and 2070 to 2100) through the Regional Climate Model (RCM) RegCM3. The RCM is forced by General Circulation Model (GCM) ECHAM5, according to the A1B emissions scenario, established by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). More attention is given to the superior and inferior quantiles (QS and QI) representing the situations of greater thermal discomfort because of their influence on vulnerable populations such as elderly people. An initial assessment about the months of greatest discomfort in MRSP was made based on data from the meteorological station of IAG. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and the Mean Error (EM, related to bias) of the time series from observed and simulated data show a models underestimation of the temperature throughout the year. The RMSE and EM for relative humidity and wind vary with the season containing periods of higher and lower accuracy. The RMSE and EM for simulated and observed indices were obtained as well due to comparison reasons. In 1960-1990 period, ID presents an average of 17.4°C and in 2070-2100, an average of 20.1°C, representing an increasing of 2.8°C; meanwhile TRv goes from 11.8°C to 14.7°C over the same period, an increasing of 2.9°C. It is show that ID is increased gradually over the years, unlike TRV, which significantly increases from 2070. It is also observed that daily means of ID and TRv in future tends to be distributed in middle and upper quantiles, indicating that the MRSP tends to have nights and afternoons that will be warmer over the years, translating into less uncomfortable winters (cold related) and more uncomfortable summers (heat related). The results corroborate IPCC (2007b) which also points to a reduction of cold days in regions of middle and low latitudes, associated with an increased occurrence of heat waves providing great risks to vulnerable populations.

Full textThe oral carcinogenesis is a multi-stage process, where genetic components leads to deregulation of cell signaling pathways that control basic cellular functions such as division, differentiation and cell death. One way to understand the biological nature of cancers, besides the clinical course, is through understanding the process of progression and metastasis of these neoplasms. This study aimed to evaluate the role of Twist protein in the development and progression of oral squamous cell carcinomas. With this proposal, was also evaluated the involvement of E-cadherin and p-Akt proteins, and its possible interaction with Twist in the process of oral carcinogenesis. The work in question examined the immunohistochemical expression of these proteins in 30 specimens of oral dysplasia, 20 oral squamous cell carcinoma and 10 normal oral mucosa, and also evaluated the possible interrelationship of these proteins in lines derived from squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck by means of Western blotting assays and immunofluorescence. The results of this study showed an inverse relationship between Twist and E-cadherin since the earliest stages of oral carcinogenesis. These results were based on the presence of significant differences between the immunohistochemical expression of Twist and ECadherin in samples of oral epithelium, dysplastic epithelium and in specimens of oral squamous cell carcinoma. In addition, we observed the inverse relationship between Twist and E-Cadherin in the lines of squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck; this event was evidenced by the decrease in protein levels of E-Cadherin forward to a high of Twist. These results suggest an important role of Twist in the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma, and along with E-cadherin may represent a relevant biomarker of oral cancer.

Full textThe Roman de Brut, transmitted by thirty-three manuscripts – seventeen of which are complete – constitutes a fundamental text in Old French literary history. Setting aside the work’s fortune in the sphere of romance, this thesis concentrates instead on Wace’s role in regard to the evolution of French insular historiography and the modes of perception of the Breton era, a subject had been introduced ex nihilo only a few years prior by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his Historia Regum Britanniae. Specifically,the thesis aims to illustrate the consequences of such a process on the text’s manuscript tradition, by analysing certain choices pertaining to the organization of the codices by their scribes, specific variants, and other global re-adaptations. However, Wace’s oeuvre should not be considered as an isolated entity, but should rather be placed in the context of the vast complex of re-adaptations of Geoffrey’s chronicle that appear during the 12th to 14th centuries, and that should be understood as the expression of the same process. Thus, the manuscript tradition of the Roman de Brut evolves together with the convoluted knot of literary traditions that develop from the Historia Regum Britanniae: these do not only influence Wace’s text in its manuscripts, but are themselves shaped by it in turn. Starting from a codicological, stylistic, and ecdotic analysis of the Brut manuscripts, along with a comprehensive reflection on the entirety of Anglo-Norman chronicles on the subject of the Breton era, this thesis illustrates the various faces that the Breton matter has assumed within this production, and its journey towards affirming itself as the origin myth of England’s history

Full textThe research work is divided into two basic parts: the translation and commentary of some sections of the book Regum et imperatorum apophthegmata by Plutarch. In particular they have been taken into consideration the Dedicatory epistle to Trajan and the sections dealing with Agathocles, Antipater, Aristides, Alcibiades, Iphicrates, Timotheus, Phocion, Teleclus, Lysander and Pelopidas. The translation was prepared on the basis of the Latin translation by Xylander, the Italian ones by Adriani and Pettine, the English one by Babbitt, the Spanish one by Lόpez Salvá and the French one by Fuhrmann. For each anecdote the different interpretative proposals of the translators have been highlighted in the footnotes. The commentary has been developed along two lines, the former intratextual, the latter intertextual. In the first istance, the attention was paid to the study of the words used by the author, which helped to identify the frequency of some fundamental themes of ethical and political thought of Plutarch, such as the need for the governor not to be tormented by lust for wealth, not to be led astray by private interests and friendships in the management of public affairs, to be able to evaluate flexibly critical circumstances that occur from time to time, shaping the policy and operational positions to them and avoiding fruitless and stiffness intransigence. Before the eyes of the reader the author slides the long series of anecdotes, inviting them to consider which are the virtues, but also the vices that led eminent people to prosperity or to ruin. And what emerges consistently from each short story is the importance of reflection and pondering every time you are about to perform an action or reply to a question not without insolence. It is recommended and appropriate learning to tame irrational forces of the soul through the exercise of λόγος; in fact they cannot be eradicated completely. It is because of this constant and gradual exercise of self improvement that energy, which man has, can be harnessed and directed to noble deeds for those who make them and fruitful for those who benefit them. The policy ultimately cannot be separated from ethics; a politician, who is not persistent in improving his mind and free it from all forms of selfishness, will not benefit at all to those who are subjected to his command. In many cases it is possible to find in the text the words which introduce explicitly the above issues, as, for example, φιλοπλουτία, ἀδικία, δίκη, τóλμα, θάρσος, ἀργία; in other cases it can be deduced from the meaning of the anecdote which category of values the author is referring to. The presence of the terms relating to each theme, in the commentary of the individual anecdotes, are then summarized in a synoptic table in order to allow an immediate comparison of the characters and the vices/virtues attributed by the author. Another aspect investigated thoroughly is the author's appeal to rhetorical devices to give the apophthegms incisiveness, especially when the author summarizes episodes which are more extended and articulated in the Lives and other plutarchian books. In the Apophthegmata you can find especially the chiasmus, which the author often uses to contrast the thinking and acting of the character to that of his detractors; the etymological figure and the polyptoton, with which the main theme of the plutarchian reflection is repeatedly drawn inside the anecdote. It was further highlighted that in the collection of apofthegms there are two types of anecdote; there is, in most cases, the presence of apophthegmata placed at the conclusion of a synthetic context, outlined with rapid hints; but it also notes the introduction of a specific episode of war and customs of characters, devoid of judgment in the epigraph, which are also designed to emphasize an ethical feature and behavior of the character in question. The second line, that we proceeded in the research work, was the comparison of each anecdote with versions of the same occurring in other works by Plutarch. The comparison showed that in some cases the versions coincide almost entirely in the vocabulary and meaning, but on many occasions the perspective, from which the story is presented by the author, varies slightly and sometimes considerably. It has been noted in fact that some details of the anecdote are eclipsed or modified by the author based on the context in which they are placed; the same story is then molded according to the theme that the author is dealing with. In general it was found that in Apophthegmata the presentation of the characters tends to be more positive than in other works by Plutarch, operation where the author comes removing from anecdotes details that could negatively connote the character. At the base of the anecdotes they could hypothetically be the so-called ὑπομνήματα, ie raw notes that Plutarch would be recorded in the course of its various readings and which he would use in the composition of his works. It is given adequate account about this problem in a specific chapter of the thesis, which examines the theories proposed in particular by Van der Stockt, Van Meirvenne, Pelling, Städter and Beck on the nature of ὑπομνήματα. According to some of them the content of the clusters, which are groups of ὑπομνήματα, would mainly philosophical in nature, according to others mainly historical. Furthermore on the one hand it is believed that the Apohthegmata constitute a drafting stage intermediate between the hypothetical sketched ὑπομνήματα and anecdotes as are processed in different works by Plutarch. On the other hand however the collectionof apophthegms is considered complete and independent from the drafting of the Lives and Moralia, theory that appeared to me more convincing on the basis of the rhetorical and stylistic analysis that I developed. The anecdotes do not appear to a stage of stylistic poor structuring and the use of a certain category of rhetorical devices and the tendency to obscure incriminating details for the characters seem to respond to a specific purpose of the author. Another chapter is devoted to the presentation of the debate on the problematic attribution of the work to Plutarch. In this chapter we review the opinions expressed in particular by Xylander, Wyttenbach, Benseler, Volkmann, Schmidt, Sass, Weissenberger, Hartman, Babbitt, Ziegler, Flacelière, Fuhrmann and Beck, noting that the most recent studies, particularly those of Beck, the scholars tend to recognize the paternity of the collection of anecdotes. According to him and other scholars the conciseness of anecdotes than the versions, which are read in the other works by Plutarch, would not be valid indication of inauthenticity; instead it would respond to the specific needs required by the type of the literary genre.
