The scope of the current work was to investigate the effect of glucose, amonium acetate, DL-methionine, phosphorus, oleic acid and salt solution on the maximum specific growth rate (µmax), as well as the effect of sucrose and DL-methionine on the specific cefalosporin C production rate (µp), by Cephalosporium acremonium ATCC 48272, using factorial design and response surface techniques. The initial medium of fermentation was used according to factorial design and the experiments were carried out in shaker flasks at controlled temperature at 28 °C, initial pH of 7,0+0,1 and agitation speed 250 rpm. For both specific rate the variables involved were correlated by a fitted second order model. The canonic and surface response analysis showed a maximum specific growth rate of 0.22 h-1 obtained when glucose and amonium acetate concentration, were 4.2 , 2.5 g/L, respectively, and specific cefalosporin C production rate of 1.12 mgCPC/gcel.h when sucrose and DL-methionine concentration, were 10.5, 2.5 g/L, respectively, for a celular concentration of 14.0 g/L. The experimental design showed to be very efficcient in evaluating the bioprocess, as long as high values of µmax e µp were obtained in comparison with literature data. The feedforward neural network (FNN) was employed for modelling and simulation the effect of glucose, amonium acetate, DL-methionine, phosphorus, oleic acid and salt solution on the maximum specific growth rate. The network topologies were used with 6 neurons in the input layer, 22 hidden layer and 1 output layer. The data base for training the FNN was obtained from results of the factorial designs processed with a backpropagation learning algorithm. The surfaces response obtained by simulations for all range of glucose and amonium acetate concentrations showed inhibitory effect for the two substrates on the maximum specific growth rate. The results of the simulation are in good agreement with the experimental and statistical model results.

Efeitos de interações elétron-elétron e spin-órbita nas propriedades magneto-eletrônicas de magneto-transporte de sistemas confinados

Effects of the direct and exchange electron-electron interaction, external magnetic field, symmetry of the charge carriers confining potential, radius, material g-factor, and also of the spin-orbit interaction in zincblende structure materials, are treated on the electronic and transport properties of semiconductor quantum dots (islands) charged by many particles. Three distinct kinds of confining potentials are considered: spherical, parabolic, and quasi-one-dimensional which, respectively, define a three-dimensional, two-dimensional, and one-dimensional island; the first one is more appropriated for the description of quantum dots formed in glassy matrices, while the last two better describe quantum dots litographically defined in a two-dimensional electron gas. Transport properties are considered in the spherical and quasi-one-dimensional islands, where we assume that the electronic current is in the resonant tunneling ballistic and coherent regimes, with essential role played by the excited states of the specific symmetry. We show that different geometries induce distinct level ordering in the island and that there is, in addition to the usual spin blockade, another kind of blockade mechanism which influences the system current; we label it by orbital blockade, because it is essentially due to the structure geometric confinement. We calculate the electronic spectrum of the many-particle system according to its symmetry. In the spherical case, we firstly use the LS-coupling scheme in order to obtain the eigenstates of an island charged by 3 electrons, following the orbital L and spin S total angular momentum addiction rules; we consider intensities of the magnetic field that allow us to neglect its diamagnetic contribution; the electron-electron interaction is treated as a perturbation in a Hartree-Fock way. In the following we use, in this same symmetry, the Roothaan and Pople-Nesbet matrix methods in order to deal with islands charged by 40 electrons, where the addition spectrum is calculated and Hund s rule is verified; we show how a magnetic field is able to violate such rule. The advantage of this numerical approach is the possibility to deal with a very high occupation in the island; the disadvantage is that their eigenstates do not have defined L and S values, as it is the case in the LS-coupling scheme. In the parabolic case, we employ a numerical diagonalization in order to obtain the island eigenstates charged by 2 electrons, without any restrictions regarding the magnetic field intensity or the system radius; we take into account both possible spinorbit couplings, one related to the implicit absence of zincblende crystalline structure inversion symmetry (Dresselhaus effect), and the other one related to the absence of structure inversion symmetry as caused by the confinement defining the two-dimensional electron gas (Rashba effect); we analyze the critical magnetic fields where both effects give origin to a intrinsic spin mixture in the island, inducing level anticrossings in the Fock-Darwin spectrum where intense spin-flips processes occur. In the quasi-onedimensional case, we just reproduce a known spectrum for an island charged by 4 electrons.
Atividade enzimática, cinética e modelagem matemática da decomposição de Ultricularia breviscapa da lagoa do Óleo (Estação Ecológica de Jataí, Luiz Antônio - SP)

This work approached the enzymatic activities, kinetics and mathematical modeling of the decomposition of Utricularia breviscapa from ºleo lagoon (21° 36' S and 47° 49' W), Luiz Antonio, SP. The experiments described the decomposition in function of temperature, availability of oxygen and carbon source. Samples of this macrophyte and water were collected in the oleo lagoon; incubations were prepared and maintained in controlled conditions. The results allow us to conclude that: (i) the U. breviscapa detritus are a heterogeneous substrata and presented two fractions: a labile/soluble (COPLS » 23.5%) and a refractory (COPR » 76.5%). The mass losses coefficients of the labile/soluble fractions (kT = 1.5 day-1) were higher than the refractory fractions (309 times in the aerobic condition and 469 times in the anaerobic condition). The increasing temperature and the dissolved oxygen concentrations favored the mineralization of the refractory fractions. The COPR mineralization in the aerobic conditions was faster than in the anaerobic conditions (1.5 times); (ii) the enzymatic activities of the cellulase presented a temporal pattern that was affected by the temperature, availability of oxygen and carbon source; (iii) stoichiometric ratio (O/C) varied in function of temperature and time; (iv) the oxygen uptake coefficients (kd) presented low variation in function of increasing temperature; (v) the increment on temperature favored the CH4 formation in the anaerobic decomposition of U. breviscapa and its emissions tended to occur earlier; (vi) probably, the enzymatic degradation of the cellulose in the anaerobic strata of sediments contributed to methanogenesis in the oleo lagoon; (vii) the simulations indicated that heterotrophic potentials of the oleo lagoon presents low variations during the year; the favorable period for detritus cycling is in the spring (October - November), in this period increments in mineralization occurs as function of increasing temperature and high availability of oxygen.
