13. MARKETING VERDE E O CONSUMO CONSCIENTE: UM ESTUDO SOBRE O APELO ECOLÓGICO DE DOIS PRODUTOS / GREEN MARKETING AND CONSCIOUS CONSUMPTION: A STUDY ON THE ECOLOGICAL APPEAL OF TWO PRODUCTS
This dissertation presents a comparative study of the attitudes and behavior of different groups of consumers with regard to so-called Green Marketing, or Conscious Consumption. It seeks to identify the attitude and behavior profiles of distinct groups of consumers in relation to products which have an ecological appeal. The products researched were a women�

14. Street forestry potential on the reduction of electric energy consumption: definition of tree areas in the city of SP, interviews, evaluation of environmental factors and heat degree hour estimation / Potencial da arborização viária na redução do consumo de energia elétrica: definição de três áreas na cidade de São Paulo - SP, aplicação de questionários, levantamento de fatores ambientais e estimativa de Graus-Hora de calor
The problematic to obtain and use energy in a conscious way in cities is a polemic issue nowadays. Frequently, urban areas have darker surfaces areas with less vegetation than neighbor areas. These differences affect the climate, the energy use and the quality of life. One of the action lines to promote an efficient use of electric energy in cities, through

15. Analise de ciclo de vida : estudo de caso para materiais e componentes automotivos no Brasil
The social conscious increase about the natural resources limitation and the planet capacity is one of the most important behaviour changes, however slowly. The utilization of end-pipe technologies to control the pollution only transforms the air and water pollution into a solid residue .problem. The ecological industry concept or dematerialization emerged a

16. Gastrointestinal secretory, motor, circulatory, and metabolic effects of prosomatostatin.
This study compares the gastrointestinal effects of somatostatin (SS) and its putative prohormone, prosomatostatin (Pro-SS), a 28-amino acid peptide isolated from the hypothalamus and the gut, in conscious dogs with chronic gastric and pancreatic fistulae. Pro-Ss suppressed the release of serum gastrin, insulin, and pancreatic polypeptide that occurs in resp

17. The relationship between ventilation and oxygen consumption in man is the same during both moderate exercise and shivering.
1. Four naïve subjects clothed in protective suits were immersed up to the neck in water on twenty-two occasions, the minimum skin temperature was 20 degrees C and the average skin temperature 26 degrees C. Subjects at first rested, initially demonstrating an increase in thermal muscular tone which did not lead to perceptible limb movements. Later, while re

18. Renin-Angiotensin System Inhibition in Conscious Sodium-Depleted Dogs: EFFECTS ON SYSTEMIC AND CORONARY HEMODYNAMICS
The role of the renin-angiotensin system in the regulation of the systemic and coronary circulations during sodium depletion was studied in conscious normotensive dogs by i.v. administration of teprotide (0.5 mg/kg), an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and saralasin (0.05-5 μg/kg per min), an angiotensin-receptor antagonist. Sodium depletion was pro

19. Autoregulation of hind-limb blood flow in conscious dogs.
We evaluated the efficiency of blood flow autoregulation of the hind-limb vascular bed of eleven conscious dogs during: resting conditions; graded levels of treadmill exercise; and increases in oxygen consumption produced by the administration of 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP). Blood flow to the left hind limb was measured with an electromagnetic flow probe on the

20. Metabolic control of circulation. Effects of iodoacetate and fluoroacetate.
The circulatory effects of selective metabolic inhibition of glycolysis and of the tricarboxylic acid cycle by iodoacetate and fluoroacetate were studied in intact chloralose-anesthetized dogs. Pulmonary arterial blood pressure and vascular resistance increased after administration of both inhibitors, but neither systemic hemodynamics nor myocardial contract

21. A genetic model defines the importance of the atrial natriuretic peptide receptor (guanylyl cyclase-A) in the regulation of kidney function
Disruption of the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptor [guanylyl cyclase-A (GC-A)] gene yields mice with a salt-resistant form of hypertension, raising fundamental questions on the role of ANP in acute regulation of the kidney. Here, we show that water intake, food consumption, stool weight, urine volume, and sodium excretion are not significantly diffe

22. Effect of CO2 on the metabolic and ventilatory responses to ambient temperature in conscious adult and newborn rats.
1. In newborn and adult rats, hypoxia decreases metabolic rate, especially at low ambient temperatures (Ta). We examined whether a similar effect can occur during hypercapnia. 2. We measured metabolism (oxygen consumption, Vo2, open flow-through method), and expiratory ventilation (VE; barometric method (adults), airflow plethysmograph (newborns)) in air and

23. Bilateral neck exploration under hypnosedation: a new standard of care in primary hyperparathyroidism?
OBJECTIVE: The authors review their experience with initial bilateral neck exploration under local anesthesia and hypnosedation for primary hyperparathyroidism. Efficacy, safety, and cost effectiveness of this new approach are examined. BACKGROUND: Standard bilateral parathyroid exploration under general anesthesia is associated with significant risk, especi
