Introdução à teoria da cor

The study of Color Perception is a basic requirement for students in the areas that have main joints in the visual context. Therefore, the Color Theory is essential to a wide range of programs, ranging from the Design to Architecture. This book was designed to assist, on the one hand, the teacher of the courses that involve Color Theory, and on the other, the students of these courses, mainly in the process of the symbolic cultural construction of color. Professionals will also find here importante information for implementing color on their projects.

Desenvolvimento de equipamento para estimular a propriocepção utilizando ímãs permanentes

This study developed the Magnetic Proprioceptive Stimulator – MPS at the Technological Federal University of Parana - UTFPR to stimulate, record and quantify the proprioceptive activity of the shoulder joint, using permanent magnets. A pilot study was conducted to investigate the proprioceptive stimulation generated by MPS. The results of this study show that the magnetic and mechanical forces generated by permanent magnets can change the static and dynamic stability of the shoulder joint. The angular changes of the shoulder joint during the stimulation of proprioception were photographed, videotaped and analyzed by vector editing program. The joint movements caused by the action of the magnets were recorded by an optical sensor installed in the MPS and displayed in a graphical interface for analyzing the proprioceptive dynamics. The study concluded that the Magnetic Proprioceptive Stimulator is safe, effective to stimulate proprioception and features high economic viability.
