Desenvolvimento da metodologia da aplicação da norma NP 4457:2007 relativa aos requisitos do sistema de gestão da investigação, desenvolvimento e inovação (IDI) com vista à sua verificação no CEEQ - centro de estudos de engenharia química do ISEL

O presente trabalho tem como objectivo o desenvolvimento da metodologia da aplicação da Norma NP 4457:2007 relativa aos requisitos do Sistema de Gestão da Investigação, Desenvolvimento e Inovação (IDI) com vista à sua verificação no CEEQ - Centro de Estudos de Engenharia Química do ISEL A Norma NP 4457:2007 é um estímulo à inovação empresarial e à dinamização de processos de gestão para um melhor desempenho da Investigação, Desenvolvimento e Inovação (IDI). A certificação pela NP 4457:2007 constitui um acelerador e incentivador adicional ao sucesso da implementação do sistema. Este trabalho visa o desenvolvimento da metodologia de aplicação na Norma NP 4457:2007 relativa aos requisitos do Sistema de Gestão da IDI. Depois de desenvolvida a metodologia, verificar-se -à a sua aplicabilidade no CEEQ - Centro de Estudos de Engenharia Química que tem um papel essencial para a sua optimização e verificação. No sentido de adquirir alicerces para um melhor entendimento do trabalho recorreu-se a um estudo pormenorizado da NP ISSO 9001 e da família das normas IDI. Efectuou-se uma linha de Diagnóstico/Comprovação dos Requisitos do Sistema de Gestão da IDI, que pode ser utilizada por qualquer entidade como diagnóstico ou comprovação no sentido da Certificação pela NP 4457:2007. O investimento em IDI em Portugal e na Europa foi alvo de estudo, já que pode constituir um grande obstáculo à implementação e à certificação.

The complete sequence of a 9000 bp fragment of the right arm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome VII contains four previously unknown open reading frames

We report the sequence of a 9000 bp fragment from the right arm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome VII. Analysis of the sequence revealed four complete previously unknown open reading frames, which were named G7587, G7589, G7591 and G7594 following standard rules for provisional nomenclature. Outstanding features of some of these proteins were the homology of the putative protein coded by G7589 with proteins involved in transcription regulation and the transmembrane domains predicted in the putative protein coded by G7591.

Complete synchronization and delayed synchronization in couplings

We consider a general coupling of two identical chaotic dynamical systems, and we obtain the conditions for synchronization. We consider two types of synchronization: complete synchronization and delayed synchronization. Then, we consider four different couplings having different behaviors regarding their ability to synchronize either completely or with delay: Symmetric Linear Coupled System, Commanded Linear Coupled System, Commanded Coupled System with delay and symmetric coupled system with delay. The values of the coupling strength for which a coupling synchronizes define its Window of synchronization. We obtain analytically the Windows of complete synchronization, and we apply it for the considered couplings that admit complete synchronization. We also obtain analytically the Window of chaotic delayed synchronization for the only considered coupling that admits a chaotic delayed synchronization, the commanded coupled system with delay. At last, we use four different free chaotic dynamics (based in tent map, logistic map, three-piecewise linear map and cubic-like map) in order to observe numerically the analytically predicted windows.

Spectral and dynamical invariants in a complete clustered network

The main result of this work is a new criterion for the formation of good clusters in a graph. This criterion uses a new dynamical invariant, the performance of a clustering, that characterizes the quality of the formation of clusters. We prove that the growth of the dynamical invariant, the network topological entropy, has the effect of worsening the quality of a clustering, in a process of cluster formation by the successive removal of edges. Several examples of clustering on the same network are presented to compare the behavior of other parameters such as network topological entropy, conductance, coefficient of clustering and performance of a clustering with the number of edges in a process of clustering by successive removal.
