As one of us the heaviest one approached the first major hill on a test ride of Brammo Motorsports brand new Enertia electric motorcycle, we were doubtful that this light, elegantly designed bike could haul a 109-kilogram (240-pound) rider up the incline. We shouldnt have worried: it effortlessly propelled him to the top of Portland, Ore.s West Hills. What is NOT true about the product mentioned in this paragraph?

(IME - 2008/2009 - 1 FASE) Leia as passagens seguintes e marque a alternativa correta de acordo com a pergunta que segue cada texto. Improving the diversity of biological habitats and ecosystems is a vital goal in itself, yet policies to encourage biodiversity, like most legislation, will have both supporters and naysayers. By the information in this sentence, what do we know about biodiversity?

(IME - 2008/2009 - 1 FASE) Leia as passagens seguintes e marque a alternativa correta de acordo com a pergunta que segue cada texto. Fisheries may be an ancient economic activity, but nowadays they are at the forefront of globalization. For instance, when it comes to the trade itself: a blue hake caught off the coast of New Zealand by a Japanese vessel may be processed in China before being flown to a market in London or Paris. Saying that fisheries are at the forefront of globalization means that

E-NOSES Adapted from IEEE Spectrum, 03.08 Several hundred years ago, village doctors in rural China diagnosed diabetes by the characteristically sweet smell of a patients breath. Today hospitals use a battery of blood tests and laboratory analyses to make that same diagnosis, but doctors may soon be sniffing their patients breath again. This time the doctors will have electronic noses small and cheap enough to carry in their pockets. This e-nose will be the culmination of decades of work at countless laboratories, where researchers have sought to create a tiny, cheap, automatic sniffer that would let wine bottles monitor the aging of their contents, allow meat packages to flag spoilage, and enable mailboxes to check for bombs. Imagine barroom coasters that double as Breathalyzers, bumper stickers that monitor car emissions. Until now, its been just so much sci-fi. E-nose technology has quietly advanced during the past two decades. Commercial models equipped with sensor arrays came to market in the mid-1990s, and today theyre used to distinguish wines, analyze food flavors, and sort lumber. Benchtop systems are also used in the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, and packaging industries, while smaller, portable unitsare used to monitor air quality. But these noses cost in the range of US $5000 to 100,000. A coming convergence between e-nose technology and advances in printed electronics will finally bring the price down way down. Within a decade well see e-noses that cost tens of dollars and appear in smart packaging for high-end items like pharmaceuticals or as part of intelligent or interactive appliancespicture a refrigerator that knows when milk has gone bad. Prices could easily drop to under a dollar by 2020. The secret? Conducting polymers. Developers of both electronic noses and printed electronics are exploiting these materials, which can be sensitive to the chemicals that make up odors and are also capable of producing electrical signals. E-nose developers are concentrating on honing the sensing properties of conducting polymers, while the printed-electronics people are investigating ways of using these materials to fabricate ultralow-cost electronics. Combining the fruits of these two separate efforts will finally bring e-noses into our supermarkets, homes, and daily life.
