(UEG) OBAMA TO BRAZIL: SEND US YOUR AFFLUENT, MONEY-SPENDING MASSES

If I were a restaurant owner, I might cut back a bit on Coca-Cola and stock some Guaraná. That’s the favorite soft drink in Brazil, whose tourists, propelled by the emerging giant’s roaring economy, have been spending money like, well, Americans all over the world in recent years, but especially in the U.S. Brazilians are estimated to drop almost $45 million a day while abroad; and in 2010, 1.2 million of them (the fifth largest number from any country) visited the U.S. and pumped $6 billion into the economy. And they buy more than Mickey Mouse ears: Brazilians are currently purchasing almost a tenth of the houses and apartments being sold in the Miami area. So it would make sense for the U.S., whose economy hasn’t roared in years, to roll out a redder carpet for os Brasileiros, whose applications for nonimmigrant U.S. visas have increased 234% in the past five years.

President Obama today traveled to the Mickey Mouse-ears capital, Orlando, to announce that the U.S. would finally start streamlining the tourist-visa procedure after a decade of post-9/11 strictures. The reforms are geared especially at helping visitors from Brazil and China get to the U.S. faster. Obama ordered the State Department, for example, to increase nonimmigrant visa-processing capacity in those two countries by 40% this year; ensure that 80% of tourist-visa applicants are granted interviews within 21 days; and simplify and speed up the process for “low risk” applicants such as those renewing tourist visas, and younger and older first-time Brazilian applicants.

A pilha seca de mercúrio já foi bastante utilizada em dispositivos eletrônicos. Porém, pelo fato de o mercúrio ser um potencial poluente, a pilha vem sendo substituída por outros tipos de células eletroquímicas. Essa pilha apresenta uma cápsula de zinco, constituindo o ânodo e HgO, como cátodo. Analise os potenciais de redução (E°red) das espécies envolvidas na pilha seca de mercúrio a seguir, em comparação a outros metais.

Mantendo-se o zinco no ânodo, o metal que poderia substituir o mercúrio no cátodo dessa pilha seria o

Um dos grandes empecilhos no desenvolvimento de drogas para o combate às doenças virais é a variedade de mecanismos de infecção, integração e replicação dos vírus. Os vírus são adaptados a tipos celulares e a hospedeiros específicos. A figura representa dois tipos de ciclos de vida de vírus (ciclos e ).

A partir da figura, é correto afirmar: 

    Christoph Oswald has no problem approaching women. As he makes his way through the crowd at his favorite Frankfurt club, his cell phone scans a 10-meter radius for “his type”: tall, slim, sporty, in her 30s–and, most important, looking for him, a handsome 36-yearold software consultant who loves ski holidays. Before he reaches the bar, his phone starts vibrating and an attractive blonde appears on its screen. “Hi, I’m Susan,” she says. “Come fi nd me!” Christoph picks her out of the crowd, and soon they’re laughing over a drink.

    Both Christoph and Susan have phones equipped with Symbian Dater, a program that promises to turn the cell phone into a matchmaker. By downloading Symbian, they installed a 20-character encrypted code that includes details of who they are and what they’re looking for in a mate. Whenever they go out, their matchmaking phones sniff out other Symbian Daters over the unlicensed, and therefore free, Bluetooth radio frequency. If profi les match up, the phones beep wildly and send out short video messages.
