Estudo de um método automatizado para o cálculo da profundidade de visualização dos equipamentos de ultrassonografia

Ultrasound is the term that describes the sound waves with higher frequencies than human hearing. Ultrasound used in medical diagnosis is a modality based on the use of sound energy and the acoustic properties of the various parts of the body to produce images of stationary and moving tissues. However, despite the ease of use and security that this modality offers for not using ionizing radiation, one should ensure the accuracy and optimum performance of the equipment, which results in precise diagnoses. To accomplish that, periodic quality control tests must be performed, which include: physical and mechanical inspection of the equipment, image uniformity, depth of penetration/visualization, accuracy of distances, axial and lateral resolution, dead zone and doppler sensitivity. This work intends to study a computerized method for calculating the depth of penetration of ultrasound, comparing it to the observerdependent method currently used. The images were collected during the quality control tests of ultrasound equipment. The results of the comparison between the visual and computerized methods were not conclusive for selecting the safest methodology for obtaining the depth of visualization

Estudo e modelagem 3D de um cabeçote para um motor monocilíndrico, 400cc, 4 T

The cylinder head contains the combustion chamber for the air-fuel mixture and the intake and exhaust valves, the valve guide and the valve seat. The cylinder head also is a support for the camshaft and valve rocker. The holes where the spark plugs are connected are designed to fit the better place in the combustion chamber. The cylinder heads often are manufactured using materials such as aluminum and cast iron. The cooling fins located in the outside of the cylinder head are designed for a good heat transfer and therefore their dimensions and positioning are important. This work aims the calculation for a cylinder head to be installed in a 400 cc displacement, gasoline powered, four stroke, single cylinder engine. According to the displacement it will be analyzed the combustion chamber, the intake and exhaust valves, as well as the camshaft and rocker arms. This also a work to help to accomplish the design of a single cylinder engine, where the alternatives parts, cylinder block and crankcase are all already machined and assembled in this campus

Ótica e a visão humana

Optics consists in the study of interaction of light with physical systems. The human vision is a product of the interaction of light with the eye (a very peculiar physical system). Here we present a basic study of the relationship between the optics and human vision, including: - The fundaments and physicals properties who characterize the light and the colors and the characteristics of the incidence mediums. - The basics laws of geometrical optics, based in the rectilinear propagation of light in the form of a light ray, in the independence of light rays and in the principle of reversibility of the light beams. This principle is present in the process of image formations in lenses and mirrors and applied in the study of image formation in the human eye. - The refraction and reflection laws and types of lenses, who permits the construction of optics devices for the study of physical universe, and the appliances to correct vision diseases. - Presents the human vision process as consisting in the reception of light (electromagnetic radiation in the zone of wavelength visible to us) through the eye and the sending of information obtained by the retina to the brain where it is interpreted. The vision involves a biophysical relation between the light and the biological structure of the eye who is constituted by cornea, iris, crystalline and retina. Analyzes is made of how some parts of the eye performs a function in the reception and sending of information of the images to the brain

Análise comparativa de softwares de simulação de onda de cheia e corridas de massa

This scientific research aimed at presenting a comparative analysis of softwares used to represent the processes of flood wave and debris flow. For this, a literature review was performed on these processes and on simulation models used to represent them. Then, a research on scientific database and developers’ websites was performed to identify the softwares used to simulate these processes. This step was performed based on specific criteria such as the type of simulation performed by the software, its practical applications and a user friendly interface. A free distribution and totally functional software was chosen and its simulation mechanisms were tested through a simulation exercise and the results interpreted based on data on measured in the Basin of Ribeirão Marins section Monjolinho located in Piracicaba - SP. With respect to the processes, it was sought to present the dynamics, constraints, parameters and variables used to understand them and for the simulation models were presented the conceptual aspects of mathematical modeling including the steps of the simulation process and the different types of simulation models used to represent them. In total, 20 softwares were identified, and the software object of analysis was the ABC 6 that performs simulation of flood wave. Through the simulation exercise, it was observed that were presented overestimated values of flow compared to measured data in the basin. For both hypotheses were raised about the causes of the discrepancy between the observed and simulated flow. It has been concluded that the simulation process consisted of a complex procedure where generalizations, misrepresentations and simplifications may occur due to the data used and the method adopted, but it is a useful tool in planning and decision making in various types of studies and environmental projects

Levantamento qualitativo da avifauna do Campus de Rubião Junior, Unesp/Botucatu-SP

As aves apresentam diversas características que as tornam peças importantes tanto para a educação ambiental, quanto nas tentativas de conservação de habitats. Para isso, levantamentos da composição da avifauna são fundamentais. Assim, realizou-se o levantamento qualitativo das aves que frequentam os espaços de maior circulação de pessoas do Campus de Rubião Junior, UNESP/Botucatu-SP, entre os meses de Março e Outubro de 2009. Adotou-se o método de transectos lineares, através do qual se percorreu dois trajetos distintos, nos horários de maior atividade das aves. As observações foram feitas com o auxílio de binóculos, além de algumas espécies terem sido registradas visual e/ou sonoramente por câmera fotográfica e gravador. Para a identificação das espécies, utilizou-se basicamente guias de campo. Além da lista de espécies, foi possível também calcular as frequências de ocorrência delas. Foram detectadas 67 espécies, distribuídas em 26 famílias, sendo Tyrannidae a mais representativa (15 espécies). O percurso 1 apresentou 13 espécies exclusivas, enquanto o percurso 2, apenas 4. A maioria das espécies (36) apresentou frequência de ocorrência total inferior a 25% e apenas 12 puderam ser consideradas residentes, com frequência de ocorrência total igual ou superior a 75%. Dentre as famílias com mais de um representante, Columbidae apresentou a maior proporção de número de espécies com alta frequência de ocorrência total (> 50%). Os resultados revelaram maior riqueza de espécies na área com maior diversidade de habitats e menor fluxo de pessoas

Blog Pop com Farofa: cultura e gastronomia

Gastronomy is art. Perhaps the most popular of all, because there is always an achievement for all culinary tastes. In the search for a journalistic product that show the gastronomy not only with recipes and restaurant guides exponents, the creation of the blog - Pop With Farofa - seeks to bring to the newspaper market the gastronomy in its most popular and accessible art. The experimental design reported here seeks to relate the food editor with the culture, revealing to the public and the food is present in various cultura genres
