Alocação de zeros aplicada a sistemas de controle via LMI

A systematic procedure of zero placement to design control systems is proposed. A state feedback controller with vector gain K is used to perform the pole placement. An estimator with vector gain L is also designed for output feedback control. A new systematic method of zero assignment to reduce the effect of the undesirable poles of the plant and also to increase the velocity error constant is presented. The methodology places the zeros in a specific region and it is based on Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) framework, which is a new approach to solve this problem. Three examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Análise de superfície de tendência aplicada à chuva, medida por radar meteorológico, nas regiões de Assis e Piracicaba, SP

This paper presents the results from lineal trend surface analysis technique application. The purpose was to detect positive and negative anomalies in the rain measure distribution obtained by the meteorological radar Doppler, band S, located in Bauru, during the period of 21 of October/2004 to 29 of April/2005 in the areas of Assis and Piracicaba. Using three Z-R radar relations for rain quantification was chosen the specific equation Z = 32R1,65, as the best one. The results showed that the applied methodology was able to indicate the space distribution of the rain accumulated, identifying and locating the regions where there was rainy excess and rainy lack during each analyzed period. Such results indicate areas with larger pluvial impact and consequently more favorable for environmental damages.

Demanda por grupos, psicologia e controle

Este artigo traz uma reflexão sobre uma capacitação para o trabalho grupal, destinado às equipes das UBSs (Unidades Básica de Saúde) do SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde) e agentes comunitários de saúde de um município do interior do Estado de São Paulo. Trata-se de analisar o pedido explicitado pela equipe, de mostrar a reflexão a respeito desse pedido, as circunstâncias dos problemas colocados, a experiência dos vários trabalhadores da equipe e a escuta do que se passa do lado da população. Parar para ouvir os parceiros do trabalho e refletir sobre a intervenção fez a equipe trabalhar sua sensibilidade diante das questões da população, do que vem a ser saúde e poder assumir outra postura que não seja a de servir ao controle da população e trabalhar para a construção da sociedade de controle.

Análise multivariada aplicada em bacias hidrográficas no município de Botucatu-SP

As imagens aerofotogramétricas de uma região registram os vários aspectos da paisagem, destacando a cobertura vegetal, a rede de drenagem e principalmente o relevo do terreno conjunto que caracterizam unidades morfométricas denominadas bacias hidrográficas. Neste trabalho aplicaram-se técnicas fotointerpretativas e estatística multivariada a variáveis do relevo, medidas em bacias hidrográficas de terceira ordem de ramificação pertencentes à bacia do rio Tiête no município de Botucatu-SP, com o objetivo de agrupar bacias segundo graus de similaridade, bem como inferir sobre a representatividade da distribuição espacial dos agrupamentos em relação ao Mapa Pedológico do Estado de São Paulo, da Embrapa de 1999. Foram utilizadas fotografias aéreas verticais, escala nominal aproximada 1:30000, (2005), cartas planialtimétricas escala 1:50000 e Mapa Pedológico do Estado de São Paulo. Foram estudadas 06 bacias hidrográficas de 3aordem de ramificação, situada na região fisiográfica denominada frente da cuesta abrangendo as unidades de solo Neossolos Litólicos (RL) e Latossolos Vermelhos distrófico (LVdf), sendo esta última predominante na área de estudo. O conjunto de variáveis de relevo mostrou-se eficiente no agrupamento das bacias conforme as unidades de solos ocorrentes, concordando com as unidades identificadas no Mapa Pedológico.

A psicologia do ego de ernst kris e seu legado para a psicanálise da arte

This article intends to discuss the importance of the ego-psychology towards the psychoanalytical interpretation of the aesthetic experience. Its focus is based on the Ernst Kris original work, therefore it intends to present certain basis of his aesthetical thinking. In this case, however, it will suggest one certain reading which emphasizes the problem of sublimation as a drive destination-and not as a defense mechanism-in within this relationship between art and psychoanalysis; hence, it brings out a phenomenon that crosses the psychoanalytical thinking since its first conception.

Polarização induzida aplicada no estudo de ocorrencia de cobre localizada a nordeste de Caçapava do Sul (RS)

Mineral research works are fundamentals for recognition and incorporation of new reserves. This paper present an integrated analysis of geologic and metallogenetics data, with results gotten from the application of the Induced Polarization geophysical method, in an copper ore occurrence, inserted in Camaquã sedimentary basin, situated in northeast of Caçapava do Sul city (RS). In area ocurr arkosean arenites average coarse, the intensely silicified and recrystallized, pertaining to Passo da Promessa Formation. The presence of azurita and malachite in breakings and high porosity zones of the host rock characterizes the mineral occurrence in surface, located in the crossing two fault families. The inversion models indicate the predominance of high chargeability in vulcanics tuff, rock of high porosity in relation to the andesites and metaconglomerates gifts in the area. The strong structural control of the mineral occurrence associated the high chargeability in volcanic tuff is indications of the hydrothermal fluid access by means of faults, until rocks with great porosity, where it occurred disseminations of copper sulfides in depth and carbonates in surface.

Psicologia, metafísica e literatura: A descrição dos sentimentos profundos em Bergson

This paper aims to explore the relation between psychology, metaphysics and literature, through an examination of Bergon's Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness, or, more precisely, through the description of deep feelings, which represent in the Essay a privileged moment for understanding the temporal structure of consciousness. However, this study will not be restricted only to Bergson's text and its descriptions of deep feelings (such as aesthetic and moral emotions), which would probably be repetitive. Instead, we shall use a work of literature (Guimarães Rosa's novel, Grande sertão: veredas) to exemplify the possibility of a qualitative description of stream of consciousness, revealing its temporal structure. We hope in this way to clarify the interaction between psychology, metaphysics and literature in the philosophy of Bergson.

Variação entre a lâmina de irrigação aplicada e armazenada no solo sob condições de irrigação com baixa uniformidade de distribuição de água

In sprinkler irrigation is important to have a good uniformity of application so that the water in the root zone does not show areas with little available water while others have percolating beyond the plant roots, even though the soil allows a lateral redistribution of water. A usual way to obtain the uniformity of irrigation is by measures of dispersion. The aim of this work was to evaluate the uniformity of water stored in a sand soil before and after non uniformity depth irrigation applied from one sprinkler, as well the variation of storage in a 0-0,45 m layer soil using a neutron probe. The statistical design was completely randomized, and for the variable Christiansen uniformity coefficient modified (CUCHH) were 10 treatments (the irrigation depth, 8 intervals of readings storage, more the existing one before irrigation added to the irrigation depth). For the variable soil water, the treatments were the same, excepting the irrigation depth. Despite the low surface uniformity (16.3%), there was not significantly difference between the storage uniformity before, after irrigation and the potential, however there was from these to the surface uniformity. From de irrigation depth, 15.3 mm, only 6.1 mm remained in the layer from 0 to 0.45 m. There was not significantly difference between the water stored in the soil before and after irrigation within a period of up to 134 hours, being the increase in storage due to irrigation was just 11.7%.
