1. Fuzzy logic applied to the modeling of the transfer of water in soils / LÃgica fuzzy aplicada à modelagem da transferÃncia de Ãgua em solos
Modeling water movement in the unsaturated soil requires a great number of parameters and variables such as the initial soil-water content, the saturated soil-water content, and the saturated hydraulic conductivity, which can relatively easily be assessed. Other functions such as hydraulic conductivity and matric potential which are nonlinear functions of th

2. Geotechnical site characterization and study of an erosion process caused by urban setting / Investigação geotécnica e estudo de um processo erosivo causado por ocupação urbana
This dissertation presents geotechnical site characterization results of an erosion process area, in Bauru city, inland of São Paulo State, Brazil. The objective is to characterize the local soil and define the major causing factors for the erosion process evolution, which initiated with deforestation, soil sealing and discharge of pluvial and sewer water.

3. NUMERICAL MODELING OF VIRUS TRANSPORT IN FRACTURED-POROUS MEDIA / MODELAGEM NUMÉRICA DO TRANSPORTE DE VÍRUS EM AQÜÍFEROS FRATURADOS - POROSOS
Setback distances of wellhead and catchments from septic tanks are establised by three aproaches: methods based on fixed setback distances or fixed travel times; methods based on vulnerability analysis and methods based on infection risk. In Costa Rica, the determination of setback distances is based on fixed travel times. This approach considers that during

4. ESTUDO NUMÉRICO E EXPERIMENTAL DE PROBLEMAS DE FLUXO SATURADO - NÃO SATURADO EM SOLOS / NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON SATURATED AND NON-SATURATED SOIL PROBLEMS
O estudo de fluxo saturado - não saturado em solos exige o conhecimento das funções de relação, como a curva característica (q x h) e a curva de condutividade hidráulica (K x h). Para determinar estas relações o presente trabalho utiliza o modelo de van Genuchten- Mualem, o qual está implementado numa ferramenta numérica que permite a utilização

5. Influência do tipo de revestimento superficial no fluxo não saturado e sua influência na estabilidade de taludes. / Influence of superficial coating on unsaturated flux and on slope stability.
Taludes formados por solos na condição não saturada são muito comuns no Brasil. Nestes casos a poro-pressão de água contribui para a estabilidade desses taludes. Este trabalho pretende avaliar o efeito do tipo de revestimento superficial na alteração do perfil de poro-pressão de água provocado por fluxos gerados a partir de precipitações, evapora

6. Influência das condições tridimensionais de tensão e fluxo na estabilidade de um talude em solo não saturado / Influência das condições tridimensionais de tensão e fluxo na estabilidade de um talude em solo não saturado
This research deals with the analysis of a slope failure that took place during the construction of a water gallery, located in Brasilia, DF. The failure occurred in July of 2005 and resulted in the death of one construction worker. The research focuses on the influence of unsaturated soil conditions and on the influence of the two-dimensional and three-dime

7. DEVELOPEMENT OF NUMERICAL PROCEDURES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF INFILTRATION AND SLOPE STABILITY IN CATCHMENT BASINS / DESENVOLVIMENTO DE PROCEDIMENTOS NUMÉRICOS PARA ANÁLISE DE INFILTRAÇÃO E ESTABILIDADE DE TALUDES EM BACIAS DE DRENAGEM
Este trabalho tem por objetivo o desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta numérica para avaliação do fluxo saturado-não saturado em encostas de grandes dimensões, com aplicação na análise de estabilidade dessas áreas. Emprega-se o método dos elementos finitos na solução da equação de Richards, considerando a carga de pressão como variável primária

8. A COUPLED MODEL FOR TWO-PHASE FLOW THROUGH ELASTOPLASTIC POROUS MEDIA / UM MODELO ACOPLADO PARA FLUXO BIFÁSICO EM MEIOS POROSOS ELASTOPLÁSTICOS
This dissertation studies a coupled flow and deformation model for saturated and non-saturated soils, based on Biot`s theory but taking into account the nonlinear material behavior of soil. In the non-saturated condition the fluid flow can be considered either as a two-phase or an one-phase problem. In the two-phase case, the model calculates the pressure of

9. Virus movement in soil during saturated and unsaturated flow.
Virus movement in soil during saturated and unsaturated flow was compared by adding poliovirus to sewage water and applying the water at different rates to a 250-cm-long soil column equipped with ceramic samplers at different depths. Movement of viruses during unsaturated flow of sewage through soil columns was much less than during saturated flow. Viruses d

10. Electron Partitioning between the Cytochrome and Alternative Pathways in Plant Mitochondria.
The contribution of the cyanide-resistant, alternative pathway to plant mitochondrial electron transport has been studied using a modified aqueous phase on-line mass spectrometry-gas chromatography system. This technique permits direct measurement of the partitioning of electrons between the cytochrome and alternative pathways in the absence of added inhibit

11. Bicarbonate transport along the loop of Henle. I. Microperfusion studies of load and inhibitor sensitivity.
We microperfused the loop of Henle (LOH) to assess its contribution to urine acidification in vivo. Under control conditions (Na HCO3- = 13 mM, perfusion rate approximately 17 nl/min-1) net bicarbonate transport (JHCO3-) was unsaturated, flow- and concentration-dependent, and increased linearly until a bicarbonate load of 1,400 pmol.min-1 was reached. Methaz

12. Microbial Biomass, Activity, and Community Structure of Water and Particulates Retrieved by Backflow from a Waterflood Injection Well
Oil field injection water was allowed to back flow from two wells at the Packard drill site in Los Angeles, Calif., and was sampled at various times to obtain information about the biomass, potential activity, and community structure of the microbiota in the reservoir formation and in the injection water. Biomass was greatest in water samples that came from
