New Device Lets You Read While You Run
Novo dispositivo permite que você leia enquanto corre
Engineers from Purdue University have devised a new System that will facilitate
a very specific type of physical and mental multitasking - helping treadmill
runners to read text on a display screen.
Engenheiros da Universidade Purdue criaram um novo Sistema que facilitará um tipo muito específico de multitarefa física e mental - ajudando corredores de esteira a ler texto em uma tela de exibição.
- "have devised a new System" – criaram um novo Sistema.
- "multitasking" – multitarefa.
- "treadmill runners" – corredores de esteira.
- "a display screen" – uma tela de exibição.
The System, called ReadingMate,
compensates for constantly bobbing eyes so runners can train for a marathon
while reading their favorite novel.
O sistema, chamado ReadingMate, compensa o movimento constante dos olhos para que os corredores possam treinar para uma maratona enquanto leem seu romance favorito.
- "constantly bobbing eyes" – o movimento constante dos olhos.
- "favorite novel" – romance favorito.
"Not many people can run and read at the same time," said Ji Soo Yi,
an assistant professor of industrial engineering at Purdue University.
"Poucas pessoas conseguem correr e ler ao mesmo tempo", disse Ji Soo Yi, professor assistente de engenharia industrial na Universidade Purdue.
- "Not many people" – Poucas pessoas.
- "at the same time" – ao mesmo tempo.
"This is because the relative location of the eyes to the text is
vigorously changing, and our eyes try to constantly adjust to such changes,
which is burdensome."
"Isso ocorre porque a localização relativa dos olhos em relação ao texto está mudando vigorosamente, e nossos olhos tentam se ajustar constantemente a essas mudanças, o que é penoso."
- "burdensome" – penoso.
Instead of increasing the size of the displayed
font, Yi and his colleagues decided to compensate for a runner's head motion.
Em vez de aumentar o tamanho da fonte exibida, Yi e seus colegas decidiram compensar o movimento da cabeça de um corredor.
- "displayed font" – fonte exibida.
"You could increase the font size and have a large-screen monitor on the
wall, but that's impractical because you cannot have numerous big screen
displays in an exercise room," Yi said.
"Você poderia aumentar o tamanho da fonte e colocar um monitor de tela grande na parede, mas isso não é prático porque não é possível ter vários monitores de tela grande em uma sala de exercícios", disse Yi.
- "a large-screen monitor" – um monitor de tela grande.
- "on the wall" – na parede.
According to a report on the system published recently in Human Factors: The
Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Socíety, the engineers recruited 15 multitasking
volunteers to perform a "letter- counting" test while jogging on a
treadmill and using ReadingMate.
De acordo com um relatório sobre o sistema publicado recentemente em Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Socíety, os engenheiros recrutaram 15 voluntários multitarefa para realizar um teste de "contagem de letras" enquanto corriam em uma esteira e usavam o ReadingMate.
The participants were asked to tally how
many times the letter 'F' appeared in two lines of text nested in 10 lines of
text that were displayed on a Computer monitor.
Os participantes foram solicitados a contar quantas vezes a letra 'F' aparecia em duas linhas de texto aninhadas em 10 linhas de texto que eram exibidas em um monitor de computador.
- "to tally" – contar, registrar.
- "nested in" – aninhada em.
While performing the test, the participants wore goggles equipped with infrared
LEDs. An infrared camera tracked the motion of the LEDs, essentially recording
the movement of the runner"s head.
Ao realizar o teste, os participantes usaram óculos equipados com LEDs infravermelhos. Uma câmera infravermelha rastreou o movimento dos LEDs, essencialmente registrando o movimento da cabeça do corredor.
To compensate for the head motion, the
displayed text was moved as the volunteers ran along the treadmill with their
heads bobbing.
Para compensar o movimento da cabeça, o texto exibido foi movido enquanto os voluntários corriam pela esteira com suas cabeças balançando.
- "treadmill" – esteira.
- "ran along the treadmill" – corriam pela esteira.
The researchers found those who used the ReadingMate system performed better at
multi-tasking their physical and mental assignments, particularly when
it carne to reading smaller font sizes and smaller line-spaced text.
Os pesquisadores descobriram que aqueles que usaram o sistema ReadingMate tiveram melhor desempenho em multitarefas físicas e mentais, principalmente quando se tratava de ler fontes menores e textos com espaçamento entre linhas menor.
Besides aiding people with the novel task of reading while running, the
researchers said their system could be used to assist airline pilots or those
working in heavy industry.
Além de ajudar as pessoas com a nova tarefa de ler enquanto correm, os pesquisadores disseram que seu sistema poderia ser usado para auxiliar pilotos de avião ou aqueles que trabalham na indústria pesada.
"Both may experience heavy
shaking and turbulence while reading information from a display," Kwon
said. "ReadingMate could stabilize the content in such cases."
"Ambos podem sofrer fortes tremores e turbulências ao ler informações de um display", disse Kwon. "O ReadingMate pode estabilizar o conteúdo em tais casos."

Slash and burn
Corte e queima
Brazil's rainforest is
going up in smoke. Again.
A floresta tropical do Brasil está virando fumaça. De novo.
As Brazil'S skyscrapers and silos rose, it seemed the most impressive quality
of this 21st-century Latin American powerhouse was its ability to grow without
trashing the environment.
À medida que os arranha-céus e silos do Brasil se erguiam, parecia que a qualidade mais impressionante dessa potência latino-americana do século XXI era sua capacidade de crescer sem destruir o meio ambiente.
Just last year, Brasilia was boasting about a steep
decline in deforestation in the Amazon rainforest, a feat that President Dilma
Rousseff trumpeted as "impressive, the fruit of social change." What
would she say now?
No ano passado, Brasília estava se gabando de um declínio acentuado no desmatamento na floresta amazônica, um feito que a presidente Dilma Rousseff alardeou como "impressionante, o fruto da mudança social". O que ela diria agora?
After nearly a decade of steady decline, forest cutting has spiked again in the
world's largest rainforest. The nonprofit Amazon watchdog organization, Imazon,
released a study reporting that deforestation at the hands of farmers and
ranchers jumped 90 percent in the 12 months since April of last year. And since
burning always follows felling, another 88 million tons of carbon dioxide and
other gases hit the atmosphere—a 62 percent increase on the year.
Após quase uma década de declínio constante, o desmatamento voltou a aumentar na maior floresta tropical do mundo. A organização sem fins lucrativos de vigilância da Amazônia, Imazon, divulgou um estudo relatando que o desmatamento nas mãos de fazendeiros e pecuaristas aumentou 90% nos 12 meses desde abril do ano passado. E como a queima sempre segue o corte, outros 88 milhões de toneladas de dióxido de carbono e outros gases atingiram a atmosfera — um aumento de 62% no ano.
For decades, Brazilians were told that ruin in the Amazon was the price of
development.
Por décadas, os brasileiros foram informados de que a ruína na Amazônia era o preço do desenvolvimento.
But recent research has imploded that assumption,
Mas pesquisas recentes implodiram essa suposição.
- "assumption" – suposição, pressuposto, hipótese.
A paper
published by the National Academy of Sciences shows that continued
deforestation threatens not just the trees but the progress and riches their
removal were thought to guarantee.
Um artigo publicado pela Academia Nacional de Ciências mostra que o desmatamento contínuo ameaça não apenas as árvores, mas o progresso e as riquezas que sua remoção era considerada garantida.
The paper bolsters an old theory by
Brazilian climate scientist Eneas Salati, who argued that the Amazon actually
produces half its own rainfall.
O artigo reforça uma velha teoria do cientista climático brasileiro Eneas Salati, que argumentou que a Amazônia na verdade produz metade de sua própria precipitação.
The takeaway: remove too much of the forests
and the Amazon could dry out.
Conclusão: remova muito das florestas e a Amazônia pode secar.
And more than the jungle is at stake.
E mais do que a selva está em jogo.
Reduced rainfall from forest
cutting could dry up the water that powers hydroelectric dams, thus slashing
Brazilian power-generating capacity by 40 percent by midcentury.
A redução da precipitação devido ao corte da floresta pode secar a água que alimenta as represas hidrelétricas, reduzindo assim a capacidade de geração de energia brasileira em 40% até meados do século.
It could also
rob the food larder, cutting soybean productivity by 28 percent and beef
production by 34 percent.
Também pode roubar a despensa de alimentos, reduzindo a produtividade da soja em 28% e a produção de carne bovina em 34%.
Brasilia quickly countered the environmental skeptics by saying that these are
unofficial figures, noting that the National Space Institute is still crunching the
satellite data, The government is still basking in
last year's numbers: only 4,600 square kilometers of forests felled, a fraction
of the 27,700 square kilometers lost in 2004. But the Rousseff administration
would do well to heed the smoke signals. Even Brasilia admits that Brazil's
continued rise to glory turns on the country's ability to stay green.
Brasília rapidamente rebateu os céticos ambientais dizendo que esses são números não oficiais, observando que o Instituto Espacial Nacional ainda está processando os dados de satélite. O governo ainda está se deleitando com os números do ano passado: apenas 4.600 quilômetros quadrados de florestas derrubadas, uma fração dos 27.700 quilômetros quadrados perdidos em 2004. Mas o governo Rousseff faria bem em prestar atenção aos sinais de fumaça. Até Brasília admite que a ascensão contínua do Brasil à glória depende da capacidade do país de permanecer verde.

>> Esta questão requer conhecimento de "IF CLAUSE" ou "ORAÇÃO CONDICIONAL" onde uma ação para ser realizada depende de uma outra ação.
- No caso especifico temos um diálogo onde Michele faz um questionamento:
- "Are you going to Michelle's get-together?"(Você vai para o "encontro de amigos" de Michelle?)
- "You" então responde com uma condicional, veja:
- "I won't go unless I finish all my chores in time."(Eu não irei a menos que eu TERMINE todas as minhas tarefas em tempo.)
- Perceba que a condicional aqui é "quando terminar as tarefas",ou em outras palavras, quando as tarefas estiverem terminadas eu irei.
- Caso de IF CLAUSE I ,onde usamos "futuro simples"(won't to go) com o "presente simples"(finish).

- "As a teacher, the thing that annoys me most is cheating."
- Como professor,o que mais me aborrece é a trapaça.

passage in the passive voice?
- "There is nothing the internet likes more than rumours about Apple products. In the last few days, specifically, it was rumours about the possible appearance of an iWatch.

The article offered no proof that Apple was working on a watch - or that the device that was rapidly christened an iWatch was even a timekeeper. But the story - true or not - offers a fascinating insight into the rapidly emerging field of wearable computing."
