Recursos audiovisuais na educação: desenvolvimento do Blog do projeto Te Vejo na Escola

Há quatro anos o projeto Te Vejo na Escola que pesquisa e desenvolve recursos audiovisuais relacionados à conservação ambiental e outros temas transversais na educação formal, visando despertar o espírito de cidadania nos alunos do ensino infantil e fundamental. Acreditando nessa premissa deste projeto experimental pretende-se consolidar uma plataforma de compartilhamento – em forma de blog - desses materiais para ter como objetivo a ampliação da abrangência do mesmo atendendo a demanda dos educadores dentro de sala de aula

Estimativa da Radiação Solar em Presidente Prudente – SP nos anos de 1999-2007

The wide territorial extension of Brazil derails the installation and maintenance of instruments for measuring solar radiation, which makes necessary the development and application of models that are able to estimate reliable and sufficient data for many different activities that use such data. And these, in most cases, are estimated from the Ångström equation. Based on this model, this project aimed to estimate the global solar radiation at Presidente Prudente-SP, Brazil, using daily data from 1999 to 2007. The solar radiation data have been extracted from the paper tapes of actinograph bi-metallic (Robitsch) daily records at the meteorological station in the Faculty of Science and Technology, UNESP. These tapes were scanned, resulting in digital images with x and y coordinates pairs (x = time; y = solar radiation, cal/min.cm²). The daily global solar radiation is the area under the curve of the image. This value has been calculated by computer algorithms. After the acquisition and calculation of the values needed to develop the Ångström equation have been determined the constants a and b, using linear regression between the values of Rg/R0 (solar radiation/solar radiation on a horizontal surface at the top of atmosphere), as ordered, and n/N (number of hours of sunshine/day length in hours) as abscissa. The slope of the line will be the constant b and the linear coefficient, the constant a. The estimated results were compared to the observed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, realizing that the models can be accepted. So, the equation to aim the solar global radiation is: Rg = R0 (0,2662+0,3592 n/N)

This experimental project was in its effort to academic research to present a photographic essay as a product that represents the interpretation for the modality of social knowledge of journalism in creating an aesthetic directive in vogue for the expertise of fashion. For assigning meaning to photograph fashion templates proposed, a thematic representation of the object placed in a case study was lengthier and depth evidences of the catastrophic occurrence in the geographical context of Japan in March 2011

Fractografia quantitativa e o conceito de tenacidade à fratura para a análise do efeitodo choque térmicos em TiO2

The present study evaluated the use of semicircular bending test (SCB) as an alternative to conventional bending test to examine the effect of thermal shock. Still, studies the behavior of fracture surfaces generated by monofractal behavior analysis, which allows us to evaluate the contributions of the microstructure and the mechanical context in forming reliefs during the crack propagation. The fractal analysis is made from elevation maps obtained by reconstruction method by extension of the focus stacks of digital images acquired in microscope. The specimens used were samples semicircular pressed TiO2 (rutile) with and without heat shock, prepared for testing mode I loading. Were also produced, specimens in the form of bars for Weibull statistical analysis. From the three-point bending test, we found the variation of fracture toughness between the samples after the heat shock and natural condition. The SCB test was feasible for the analysis of thermal shock resistance. The results showed that the value of the fracture toughness decreases as the heat shock treatment

Algoritmos de Thinning e suas aplicações

This monograph aims to study the problem of thinning, also known by Image Skeletonization, to explore their applications in areas such as, Biometrics, Medicine, Engineering and Cartography. The algorithms of thinning can be classi ed into two major groups: iterative algorithms and non-iterative algorithms. Iterative are sub-divided into sequential algorithms and parallel algorithms. In order to develop a computer system able to extract the skeleton of an image, were studied, analyzed and implemented di erent algorithms for this problem, precisely those of Stentiford, Zhang Suen, and Holt

ScanWhite©: método objetivo para avaliação do nível de clareamento dental

A comparação visual com escalas de cor, universalmente empregada para avaliar o resultado das diferentes substâncias, técnicas e aparelhos utilizados no clareamento dental, tem se mostrado um método limitado, questionável, subjetivo e pouco confiável. Os métodos instrumentais, que utilizam espectroscópios ou imagens digitais, têm se mostrado mais adequados por oferecerem avaliações objetivas, maior reprodutibilidade e confiabilidade. Neste artigo, serão apresentados e discutidos os resultados obtidos com a utilização do ScanWhite© ? software para avaliação objetiva do nível de clareamento dental e apoio à decisão clínica, que baseia sua avaliação no processamento computacional de imagens digitais. Esse tem como principais diferenciais: (1) algoritmo calibrador para compensar as variações de luminosidade do ambiente, (2) apresentação dos resultados em valores numéricos e através do gráfico de evolução do clareamento dental, (3) interface intuitiva e facilidade de uso, (4) determinação dos índices de apoio à decisão (IPS ? índice de possibilidade de sucesso, e IRS ? índice de risco de sensibilidade antes do início do tratamento) e (5) emissão de relatório geral, autorizações e recomendações pós-clareamento.

Construção de instrumentos técnicos de astronomia para a divulgação científica: telescópio fotométrico de grande abertura e baixo custo

Although the popularization of astronomy in the last decade and the International Year of Astronomy, celebrated in 2009, there's a great lack in respect of quality instruments for astronomical disclosure. Thinking in this research about it, we intend to recuperate and elucidate a technique long forgotten: the metal mirror amateur telescope, once was done in the first reflecting telescopes. However, with the resources available today and given the high purity of the materials, our results were better than that obtained by the pioneers. We developed and built a large aperture telescope (250 mm diameter) and very bright (focal ratio = 4.0), versatile and portable. In our study was described step by step the process to fabricate the telescope. Through its first images captured of the Moon, we can illustrate its versatility both for use in outreach events and for use in amateur astronomy, because it is a primary focus capture system and can run registration of various astronomical events
