The surface sediment samples were taken with a box corer and analyzed for organic matter content and grain size. Dissolved oxygen was measured in water samples taken 10 m off the bottom. The ecotoxicological evaluation of the sediments was performed using fertilization assays with gametes of Arbacia spatuligera (EPA/600/4-91/003). A fertilization rate of 95%, similar to that of the controls, was achieved. Therefore, the sediments at the sampled stations located in the middle of the channels were classified as nontoxic. Only the sediment at Station 26 (i.e., sector Dalcahue) was classified as "slightly toxic" (90 ± 4.1%). The samples were taken from the central zones of the studied channels and fjords. Since toxicologically these central areas are not polluted, any possible effects of aquaculture activities are expected to be more local in scope.

No entanto, não está muito bem sedimentado na doutrina brasileira seu verdadeiro conceito e sua correta forma de utilização, pois há autores que misturam teorias diferentes, incompatíveis entre si, desencadeando certas confusões. Nesse sentido foi realizado o presente trabalho, com vistas a analisar a proporcionalidade e sua aplicação, tendo como fundamentos obras de autores nacionais e estrangeiros a respeito da distinção entre regras e princípios, inclusive para se chegar a uma posição se esta é sinônimo ou não da razoabilidade, como sustentam alguns. Ao final, concluiu-se que a proporcionalidade é uma regra, utilizada para solução de conflitos entre princípios por meio da aplicação de suas sub-regras, diferentemente da razoabilidade.

Con esta información se prepararon secciones verticales para cada una de las características antes mencionadas, realizándose un análisis de la variabilidad estacional e interanual al comparar con otros cruceros realizados en la zona.

Research paper thumbnail of Effect of proximal wall height on all-ceramic crown core stress distribution: A finite element analysis study

The International journal of prosthodontics

Mechanical analyses of idealized crown-cement-tooth systems through finite element analysis (FEA)... more Mechanical analyses of idealized crown-cement-tooth systems through finite element analysis (FEA) has provided valuable insight concerning design parameters and materials that favor lower stress patterns. However, little information regarding variation of basic preparation guidelines in stress distribution has been available. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate maximum principal stresses on a molar crown veneer plus core system natural tooth configuration preparation with variations in the ratio of proximal axial length (PAL) to buccal axial length (BAL) as well as loading condition and position. Three-dimensional models comprising a crown veneer (porcelain), crown core (zirconia), cement layer, and tooth preparation (4.2 mm BAL with PAL reductions of 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, and 1.2 mm) yielding BAL:PAL ratios of 1.23, 1.31, and 1.4 were designed by computer software (Pro/Engineering). The models were imported into an FEA software (Pro/Mechanica), with all degrees of freedom constrained at the root surface of the tooth preparation. Each tooth preparation crown configuration was evaluated under a vertical (axial) 200 N load, and under a combined vertical 200 N and horizontal (buccally) 100 N load applied at different positions from the central fossa to the cusp tip. Maximum principal stress (MPS) was determined for the crown core for each crown BAL:PAL ratio, loading condition, and position. Under both vertical and combined loading conditions, the highest MPSs were located at the occlusal region and in the occlusogingival region of the ceramic core. MPS values increased in the proximal region as the BAL:PAL ratio increased. Combined loading resulted in a general increase in MPS compared to vertical loading. Increasing the BAL:PAL ratio (reducing the proximal axial length of the preparation) acted as a stress concentrator at regions near the crown margins, suggesting this area may be vulnerable to damage from fit adjustment as well as during function. Such increases in stress concentration should be considered in clinical scenarios, especially when inherent flaws are present in the material, since extensive high-magnitude tensile stress fields have been noted under all loading conditions.
