A configuração do espaço dos livros no interior da sala de aula

This text assumes for present and understand how the books are arranged in different physical spaces, inside the classroom, and how are they perceived by teachers and students, by regulating actions and performances of the subjects. To this end, a field research, from the collection of different images of the school environments in which the books are exposed. The analysis of the images if the theoretical concepts behind about space to articulate the idea of Rodriguez, school culture, the perception of Vidal and school material culture of Viñao Frago and Escolano Benito. Upon reflection, in the design of materiality of the book and, according to Chartier. The observations of the images indicate actions of spreading a school environment of interaction with the book, characterized now by the mobility of physical space, now determined by the need for visibility and demarcation of a normal space, in order to prioritize access to the books and the taming of the reader.

SIRCo: uma arquitetura para Sensoriamento Inteligente de Rádios Cognitivos

The increased demand for using the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) unlicensed frequency spectrum has caused interference problems and lack of resource availability for wireless networks. Cognitive radio (CR) have emerged as an alternative to reduce interference and intelligently use the spectrum. Several protocols were proposed aiming to mitigate these problems, but most have not been implemented in real devices. This work presents an architecture for Intelligent Sensing for Cognitive Radios (ISCRa), and a spectrum decision model (SDM) based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), which uses as input a database with local spectrum behavior and a database with primary users information. For comparison, a spectrum decision model based on AHP, which employs advanced techniques in its spectrum decision method was implemented. Another spectrum decision model that considers only a physical parameter for channel classification was also implemented. Spectrum decision models evaluated, as well as ISCRa's architecture were developed in GNU-Radio framework and implemented on real nodes. Evaluation of SDMs considered metrics of: delivery rate, latency (Round Trip Time - RTT) and handoff. Experiments on real nodes showed that ISCRa architecture with ANN based SDM increased packet delivery rate and presented fewer frequency variation (handoff) while maintaining latency. Considering higher bandwidth as application's Quality of Service requirement, ANN-SDM obtained the best results when compared to other SDM for cognitive radio networks (CRN).
