1. Structural and mineralochemical characterization of a pegmatite deposit in the Santa Rosa Pegmatite Field, Minas Gerais Brazil
Abstract The Santa Rosa Pegmatite Field (SRPF), in northeastern Minas Gerais State, is one of the most important gemstone sources in Brazil. The economy of several neighboring cities greatly relies on the trade of its gemstones. However, efforts to improve gemstone mining with practical, scientific methods are scarce, making it a yet inexpensive, marginally

2. Compositional Similarity of Urban Green Areas in Southeastern Brazil
ABSTRACT Urban afforestation greatly contributes to the ex situ conservation of native species in urban centers of Brazil. In this way, the aim of the present work was to analyze the similarity of the arboreal-shrub flora among urban afforestation in southeastern Brazil. For this analysis, a binary matrix with data of 283 species present in 20 municipalities

3. Cretaceous carbonatites of the southeastern Brazilian Platform: a review
ABSTRACT: This paper reviews general aspects of alkaline-carbonatitic rocks of Brazilian, Paraguayan and Bolivian terrains. Although 30 such occurrences are known in literature, only the major ones have been thoroughly investigated. The carbonatites are of Cretaceous age, with two well-defined Lower Cretaceous and Upper Cretaceous generation episodes. A clea

4. Band Structure, Charge Distribution and Optical Properties of AlPxSb1-x Ternary Semiconductor Alloys
The present contribution studies on the composition dependence of the electronic and optical properties of the zinc-blende alloy system AlPxSb1-x. The calculations are performed using a pseudopotential approach under the virtual crystal approximation. Features such as electronic band structure, energy band-gaps, refractive index, dielectric constants and val

5. Serra Pelada: the first Amazonian Meteorite fall is a Eucrite (basalt) from Asteroid 4-Vesta
ABSTRACT Serra Pelada is the newest Brazilian eucrite and the first recovered fall from Amazonia (State of Pará, Brazil, June 29th 2017). In this paper, we report on its petrography, chemistry, mineralogy and its magnetic properties. Study of four thin sections reveals that the meteorite is brecciated, containing basaltic and gabbroic clasts, as well of rec

6. La organización de la producción de cerámica colonial en la frontera sur del imperio español (Mendoza, Republica Argentina)
Abstract This article proposes a model of technological organization of ceramic production during the colonial period in Mendoza. Historical and archaeological evidence, including unpublished data, are used together to reconstruct the sequence of ceramic production and the agents involved. Data are interpreted in the social and economic context of the proces

7. SOLUBILITY OF A NEW ANTIRETROVIRAL DRUG (CRS 74) IN AQUEOUS ETHANOL MIXTURES
Abstract This study concerns a new antiretroviral drug named CRS 74, which has a limited bioavailability because of its low aqueous solubility and dissolution rate. To improve these properties, CRS 74 can be recrystallized by using Liquid Anti-Solvent (LAS) crystallization. Ethanol is chosen as the solvent under study for the molecule and water as the anti-s

8. Nitrogen and Potassium Fertilization in a Guava Orchard Evaluated for Five Cycles: Soil Cationic Balance
ABSTRACT Soil fertility evaluation through soil analysis traditionally does not consider interaction among elements. To include the interaction effect in interpretation of soil analyses, an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilization (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 kg N per plant per cycle) with urea (45 % N) and potassium fertilization (

9. Nitrogen and Potassium Fertilization in a Guava Orchard Evaluated for Five Cycles: Effects on the Plant and on Production
ABSTRACT Guava response to fertilization can be monitored through plant tissue analysis. Correct interpretation of these results, based on standard levels, is of great importance for correct nutrient management of the crop. However, standard levels are constantly criticized for not considering interactions among elements. To improve the nutritional diagnosis

10. A Geostatistical Framework for Estimating Compositional Data Avoiding Bias in Back-transformation
Abstract Estimation of some mineral deposits involves chemical species or a granulometric mass balance that constitute a closed constant sum (e.g., 100%). Data that add up to a constant are known as compositional data (CODA). Classical geostatistical estimation methods (e.g., kriging) are not satisfactory when CODA are used, since bias is expected when estim

11. SIMULATION OF THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF MINERAL INSULATING OIL
Abstract Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) has been applied for decades as the main predictive maintenance technique for diagnosing incipient faults in power transformers since the decomposition of the mineral insulating oil (MIO) produces gases that remain dissolved in the liquid phase. Nevertheless, the most known diagnostic methods are based on findings of sim

12. Selection of habitat by the jaguar, Panthera onca (Carnivora: Felidae), in the upper Paraná River, Brazil
We used data from VHF and GPS radio-tagged jaguars, Panthera onca (Linnaeus, 1758) to quantify jaguar habitat selection and how adult individuals in the Upper Paraná River region selected among the available habitat types. We followed the framework in which animals make decisions about resource use at hierarchical stages, namely selection of home range with
