Para a utilização da interface óptico, os módulos de tributários e agregados têm de ser fornecidas com cordões com conectores E2000-APC. O sufixo APC representa uma grande perda de retorno (RL> 85dB). Este valor de RL evita reflexões que podem interferir na propagação normal do sinal na fibra óptica.
O E2000 tem protecção mecânica, que proporciona robustez, e protecção óptica, que assegura que os requisitos de segurança no uso de qualquer tipo de laser sejam cumpridos.
Em alternativa e quando a versão de hardware da unidade instalada dispôr de módulos SFP (Short-Form-Pluggable), os cordões ópticos fornecidos deverão ser do tipo LC. | Translation - English
In order to use the optical interface, the tributary and aggregate models have to be supplied with cables with E2000-APC connectors. The APC suffix represents a significant loss of return signal (RL> 85dB). This RL value avoids reflections that could interfere with the normal propagation of the fibre optic signal.
The E2000 has mechanical protection that provides robustness, and optical protection that guarantees that the security requirements, from the use of any type of laser, are maintained.
Alternatively, when the unit’s installed hardware version depends on the use of SFP (Short-Form-Pluggable) modules, the supplied optical cable must be type LC. | Portuguese to English: IT Technical - Sample #2

| Portuguese to English: Amazonian Biodiversity Research Program
Detailed field: Environment & Ecology | Source text - Portuguese
Este workshop foi absolutamente fundamental para o estabelecimento do programa de pesquisa em biodiversidade da Amazônia ou PPBIO, principalmente porque tudo o que foi estabelecido pelos diversos pesquisadores especialistas cada um nas suas áreas, tudo esse material acabou servindo como base para o estabelecimento do programa pelo ministério da ciência e da tecnologia, envolvendo inicialmente duas das suas instituições: o museu paraense Emilio Goeldi e o INPA, instituto nacional de pesquisas da Amazônia. O PPBIO tem como base fundamental o estabelecimento de uma rede de pesquisas sobre a biodiversidade da Amazônia. São basicamente três os objetivos do programa de biodiversidade, o PPBIO: o primeiro o estabelecimento de uma estruturação e fomento das pesquisas sobre inventario; o segundo a institucionalização das coleções, no sentido de vc ter infra-estrutura adequada e uma padronização. O que e absolutamente importante também e a qualificação institucional das coleções, ou seja, vc vai ter uma forma padronizada de gerenciar essas coleções e de inventaria-las institucionalmente para poder possibilitar lá na frente o cruzamento de dados. E o terceiro ponto que e também fundamental é a formação de recursos humanos. Nos temos uma carência bastante grande de recursos humanos então um componente bastante expressivo deste programa e a formação e o treinamento para poder fazer este inventario e para poder tratar das coleções. | Translation - English
The workshop has been absolutely fundamental in the establishment of the Amazonian biodiversity research program, PPBIO. Due to the research undertaken, the Science & Technology Ministry adopted all of the suggestions that were made by various different field specialists participating in the workshop. The ministry of science and technology research program was initially carried out by two institutions: The Emilio Goeldi Museum of Pará, and The National Institute of Amazonian Research, INPA.
PPBIO aims at establishing an Amazonian biodiversity research network, the main goals being: First, to structure and motivate inventory research; secondly, the institutionalization of sample collections, which means the building of adequate infra-structure and standards. It is also very important to institutionally verify these collections, thus having standardized management and institutionalized inventories to make further cross-referencing of data possible.
Human resources training is the third main goal, and is also fundamental. Because there is such a small amount of human resources, one of the basic components of the program is training and preparation of staff to make their own inventories and deal with the sample collections.

Segundo BRUNER (1960) o conhecimento é formado na mente do estudante e não transmitido pelo professor. As informações são passadas ao aluno de diversas formas, através de palestras, textos, gravuras e desenhos, dentre diversos outros meios, mas não se transforma em conhecimento imediatamente. O processo de transformação da informação em conhecimento se dá através de processo conhecido como mapeamento mental onde são formatados modelos que vão ajudar a montagem de novos modelos. Esse conjunto de modelos na mente do aluno evolui de forma espiralar, ou seja, existe uma harmonia no processo de transformar informação em conhecimento que evolui de forma cíclica e contínua.
Cada ciclo de aprendizagem se completa quando o aluno é capaz de explicar o que aprendeu e, nesse momento, elabora em sua mente seus modelos cognitivos. O processo de aprendizagem, então, passa por dois períodos que devem ser observados pelo responsável pelo processo de aprendizagem segundo COLLINS (1987) e SCHUMACHER (1992). O período de coleta de informação e o período de síntese ou formação de modelos mentais que é quando o aluno completa o ciclo e é capaz de explicar aquilo que aprendeu ou seja completa seus modelos mentais.
De forma gráfica procurou-se representar esse fenômeno. Existe a fase do estudo individual, quando são absorvidas novas informações e conteúdos e a fase coletiva, quando o aluno é forçado a explicar o que absorveu, completando o ciclo e consolidando em sua mente os modelos apreendidos. Desses dois ciclos surgiram diversas técnicas pedagógicas e o modelo híbrido proposto. | Translation - English
According to BRUNER (1960), knowledge is formed in the mind of the student and not transmitted by the teacher. Information is passed to the student in various forms, such as lectures, texts, pictures and drawings, among various other mediums, but this information isn’t transformed into knowledge immediately. The process of transforming information into knowledge gives itself to the process known as mental mapping where structures that will help us to mount new knowledge models are formulated. This array of student mind models evolves in a spiral form, or perhaps, a harmony exists in the process of transforming information into knowledge that evolves in a cyclic and continuous form.
Each learning cycle is completed when the student is capable of explaining what he has learned, and at this moment, elaborating cognitive models in his mind. However, according to COLLINS (1987) and SCHUMACHER (1992) the learning process passes through two phases that must be observed by those responsible at the learning process. The information collection period and the synthesis period, or the formation of mental models, is when the student completes the cycle and is capable of explaining what he has already learned, being the completion of the mental models.
The graphical representation aims at representing this phenomenon. An individual study phase exists, when new information and content is absorbed in a collective phase, when the student is made to explain what he has absorbed, completing the cycle and consolidating the models that have been learnt in his mind. Various pedagogical techniques arise in these two cycles, shown in the proposed hybrid model. | Portuguese to English: Amazon Species Research Analysis

Dear Reader,
I'm a full-time Technical Translator and a specialist in the world of Engineering.
Portuguese and Spanish into English.
I believe that I possess a wide range of literary skills and work in areas such as Business and Contracts, Environmental Issues, Marketing, Finance... and so on. I enjoy working with Tourism and Website presentation and I consider myself to be very a versatile writer with good copy-editing skills.
At the end of the day, experience is something that accumulates over time and there are very few short-cuts.
Please feel free to contact me via Email, Telephone, Skype or MSN.
Skills in more detail: -
I'm a fully qualified and experienced computer programmer, holding a Higher National Diploma (BTEC) in Software Engineering.
I earned this accreditation in England where I worked for many years in the Information Technology sector before relocating to Brazil on a permanent basis in 2002.
Needless to say, I feel very comfortable in all Engineering and Technical areas. Over the years however my skills have become increasingly adapted and focused on Industrial Engineering activities such as electrical networks, transformer stations, mining, metallurgical (iron and steel industry), mechanical, i.e. physical rather and software engineering - real life, large scale government and corporate activities. This has crossed over into contractual documents and business negotiations.
---------------------
More information.
I have been married to Sarah Coelho since 2002. Our three children are Beatriz, Samuel and Steven.
