Aspectos relativos à folga abaixo da quilha de navios com enfoque nos parâmetros operacionais portuá

Conhecer as propriedades reológicas e como a camada lamosa (lama fluida) se comporta poderá possibilitar a navegação de navios cujas dimensões teoricamente estariam restritivas à navegação, possibilitando melhor aproveitamento operacional e aumento da janela operacional de um porto, minimizando os custos com dragagens de manutenção ou aprofundamento. Apresentar os principais aspectos para avaliação dos parâmetros operacionais, em especial, observa-se a lama fluida no contexto de 'profundidade náutica'. As regras de boas práticas do Relatório PIANC (2014) indicam cálculos a serem considerados para determinar a Folga Abaixo da Quilha (FAQ) dos navios. Um porto que possui vias navegáveis que atendem à segurança da navegação contribui para a garantia do avanço de um País em âmbito econômico, uma vez que mitiga possíveis acidentes e fatos que podem prejudicar toda carga transportada, salvaguarda da vida humana no mar e poluição hídrica. Possuir canais de navegação, bacias de manobras e berços de atracação coerentes aos navios tipos são de grande relevância, para que as operações ocorram de modo seguro. Com o fito de otimizar a eficiência portuária com redução de tempo de espera por parte dos navios, por ocasião da atracação nos Portos, surgiu o conceito de Folga Abaixo da Quilha Dinâmica (FAQD). Além disso, nesse trabalho é possível constatar como a simples alteração de densidade pode influenciar na folga abaixo da quilha de navios.

The Perfect Sound: A Memoir in Stereo

A poet's audio obsession, from collecting his earliest vinyl to his quest for the ideal vacuum tubes. A captivating book that "ingeniously mixes personal memoir with cultural history and offers us an indispensable guide for the search of acoustic truth" (Yunte Huang, author of Charlie Chan). Garrett Hongo's passion for audio dates back to the Empire 398 turntable his father paired with a Dynakit tube amplifier in their modest tract home in Los Angeles in the early 1960s. But his adult quest begins in the CD-changer era, as he seeks out speakers and amps both powerful and refined enough to honor the top notes of the greatest opera sopranos. In recounting this search, he describes a journey of identity where meaning, fulfillment, and even liberation were often most available to him through music and its astonishingly varied delivery systems. Hongo writes about the sound of surf being his first music as a kid in Hawai'i, about doo-wop and soul reaching out to him while growing up among Black and Asian classmates in L.A., about Rilke and Joni Mitchell as the twin poets of his adolescence, and about feeling the pulse of John Coltrane's jazz and the rhythmic chords of Billy Joel's piano from his car radio while driving the freeways as a young man trying to become a poet. Journeying further, he visits devoted collectors of decades-old audio gear as well as designers of the latest tube equipment, listens to sublime arias performed at La Scala, hears a ghostly lute at the grave of English Romantic poet John Keats in Rome, drinks in wisdom from blues musicians and a diversity of poetic elders while turning his ear toward the memory-rich strains of the music that has shaped him: Hawaiian steel guitar and canefield songs; Bach and the Band; Mingus, Puccini, and Duke Ellington. And in the decades-long process of perfecting his stereo setup, Hongo also discovers his own now-celebrated poetic voice.

The Great Plague: A People's History

Focusing on Britain's peasants, shopkeepers, and other commoners, this history of the deadly Black Plague is a 'local account of the countrywide calamity' (The Times). In this intimate history of the extraordinary Black Plague pandemic that swept through the British Isles in 1665, Evelyn Lord focuses on the plague's effects on smaller towns, where every death was a singular blow affecting the entire community. Lord's fascinating reconstruction of life during plague times presents the personal experiences of a wide range of individuals, from historical notables Samuel Pepys and Isaac Newton to common folk who tilled the land and ran the shops. The Great Plague brings this dark era to vivid life-through stories of loss and survival from those who grieved, those who fled, and those who hid to await their fate.
