Importância econômica e generalidades para o controle de Telchin licus Drury, 1773 (Lepidoptera: Casttniidae) em cana-de-açúcar

The sugar cane plantation expands its borders each year, throughout the national territory. Thus, increases the amount of biomass that will to be exploited by man in sugar and alcohol produce and also by other organisms, which will have food in abundance. The growth of mechanized harvesting, with the consequent decrease in burning of straw and the expansion of the sucroalcooleiro sector are causing changes into entomofauna in certain areas or regions of sugar cane plantation. One of the new threats to the sugar cane plantations in southcentral region, causing uncertainty and concern to farmers, is the giant worm, Telchin licus, known in Brazil since 1927, in the Northeast of Brazil, is considered a major pest of cane sugar. In 2007 it was first recorded in the state of São Paulo, which accounts for 60% of the country's crops. Whereas until then there is not much information about their management and control, the aim of this review is to gather information on the basis for its control within the context of Integrated Pest Management of cane sugar.

Sistemi Informatici Mobili e Realtà Aumentata a supporto del lavoro cooperativo in scenari d'emergenza: studio e realizzazione di un caso applicativo

Scopo primario della tesi è studiare e progettare un sistema informatico che proponga un buon livello di innovazione tecnologica in relazione al contesto applicativo di riferimento, ovvero relativamente al supporto al lavoro cooperativo di operatori in scenari d'emergenza. In particolare, la tesi si concentra sul'ecosistema software che ruota attorno al singolo operatore con l'obiettivo di dotarlo di uno strumento informatico che gli consenta di avvalersi di un efficace ed efficiente supporto per l'esecuzione delle proprie azioni sul campo (in generale, per la prima assistenza ai pazienti, triage e monitoraggio di parametri vitali). A tal proposito, l'ambito tecnologico di riferimento è quello del Pervasive Mobile Computing, con specifico riferimento ai sistemi context-aware e a quelli con comportamenti fortemente autonomi. Inoltre, al fine di dotare l'operatore di un supporto per l'interazione con il sistema stesso in modalità hands-free, sono stati analizzati i dispositivi wearable di tipo "see-through"; in particolare, i recenti glasses per realtà aumentata. La progettazione del sistema e il conseguente sviluppo del prototipo (che implementa le caratteristiche più significative ed innovative), è stata guidata da un'ispirazione basata sul modello ad agenti (integrato a quello ad oggetti), rivisitando opportunamente l'utilizzo dei componenti offerti dalla tecnologia Android, al fine di ottenere un prodotto software robusto e modulare facilmente manutenibile ed estendibile. Infine, per garantire a ciascun operatore rapida fruibilità del sistema sono state sfruttate le potenzialità offerte dall'uso di smartcard NFC ed inoltre è stato progettato un protocollo di comunicazione ad hoc, basato su stack Bluetooth, per l'integrazione degli AR-Glasses all'intero sistema.

Framework Orchestration e Applicazioni Mobili/Wearable con GUI Adattative

in questo elaborato sono trattati i temi delle Adaptive User Interface e dell'Internet Of Things nei sistemi mobili. Il primo attraverso l'orchestrazione e la definizione di un'architettura framework in grado di fornire allo sviluppatore tutti gli strumenti di base per la realizzazione di interfacce grafiche capaci di esibire un comportamento adattativo a livello di singoli componenti. il secondo,invece, attraverso lo studio della tecnologia DQuid applicata ad un caso d'uso reale nel quale si prevedeva la connessione di un applicazione mobile iOS con un sistema per il parcheggio in garage di un'autovettura ed il monitoraggio delle informazioni relative.

Progettazione e sviluppo di un framework per la realizzazione di process-aware Web applications.

Il potenziale che il Web ha raggiunto in termini di accessibilità, gestione e flessibilità, ha spinto i più svariati settori ad approcciarsi ad esso e ad adottarlo all’interno delle proprie organizzazioni. É stato quindi necessario applicare alle tradizionali applicazioni web, nuove soluzioni al fine di integrare gli elementi di workflow management con il modello dei dati di navigazione e di presentazione. In questo lavoro di tesi, si affrontano gli aspetti legati ai processi di business, con riferimento alla progettazione e allo sviluppo di applicazioni Web. Verranno introdotti standard di modellazione come UML e BPMN per poi descrivere soluzioni e casi di studio esistenti. Nella seconda parte dell'elaborato invece, verranno presentate le tecnologie utilizzate per il design e lo sviluppo di un framework, a supporto delle process-aware Web applications.

The co-evolution of development needs and IOR forms: development by committee in Bosnia

This work highlights opportunities and obstacles to success in four task forces typically found at different times in states of conflict, transition, and development. They include: refugee return, media issues, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and efforts to promote business development. Based on over 180 in-depth interviews and observations of dozens of meetings during five lengthy field research trips to the Bosnian region between 1999 and 2005, this manuscript analyzes how these four task forces differed in terms of context, strategy, organization, and management in an attempt to understand the co-evolution of international development needs and the interorganizational forms that address them.

On the Integration of Smalltalk and Java

After decades of development in programming languages and programming environments, Smalltalk is still one of few environments that provide advanced features and is still widely used in the industry. However, as Java became prevalent, the ability to call Java code from Smalltalk and vice versa becomes important. Traditional approaches to integrate the Java and Smalltalk languages are through low-level communication between separate Java and Smalltalk virtual machines. We are not aware of any attempt to execute and integrate the Java language directly in the Smalltalk environment. A direct integration allows for very tight and almost seamless integration of the languages and their objects within a single environment. Yet integration and language interoperability impose challenging issues related to method naming conventions, method overloading, exception handling and thread-locking mechanisms. In this paper we describe ways to overcome these challenges and to integrate Java into the Smalltalk environment. Using techniques described in this paper, the programmer can call Java code from Smalltalk using standard Smalltalk idioms while the semantics of each language remains preserved. We present STX:LIBJAVA - an implementation of Java virtual machine within Smalltalk/X - as a validation of our approach

Theoretical framework for the assessment of vulnerability to natural hazards and climate change [in Europe]

Reducing risk that emerges from hazards of natural origin and societal vulnerability is a key challenge for the development of more resilient communities and the overall goal of sustainable development. The following chapter outlines a framework for multidimensional, holistic vulnerability assessment that is understood as part of risk evaluation and risk management in the context of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA). As a heuristic, the framework is a thinking tool to guide systematic assessments of vulnerability and to provide a basis for comparative indicators and criteria development to assess key factors and various dimensions of vulnerability, particularly in regions in Europe, however, it can also be applied in other world regions. The framework has been developed within the context of the research project MOVE (Methods for the Improvement of Vulnerability Assessment in Europe; ) sponsored by the European Commission within the framework of the FP 7 program.

The association between classroom characteristics and student physical activity in physical education classrooms

Background. With the rapid rise in childhood obesity, physical activity participation among young children has become the subject of much recent attention. Physical education classes have been specifically targeted as a method of providing opportunities for all children to be active. Unfortunately, student participation in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during these classes still falls far below the current recommendations. While some research to date has reported the levels of activity among elementary-aged children, research is limited on the relationship between these activity levels and the environmental characteristics that exist within the PE classroom. ^ Purpose. The purpose of this study is to examine the association between specific classroom characteristics and contextual characteristics (lesson context, class size, class location, teacher gender, and teacher encouragement for PA) with elementary aged children's moderate-to-vigorous activity during PE class. ^ Methods. A secondary analysis of 211 3rd, 4th and 5th grade physical education classes amongst 39 elementary schools in Harris County, TX and 35 elementary schools in Travis County, TX was conducted using cross-sectional data from the evaluation of a school-based health program. Lesson context and student activity levels were measured using a direct observation measurement tool. Additionally, these variables were further analyzed against a number of classroom characteristics to determine any significant associations. ^ Results. Overall, elementary PE classes are still participating in low levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity averaging only 38% of class time. Additionally, close to 25% of class time is spent in classroom management. Male directed classes spent significantly more time in game activities and female directed classes spent more time in fitness, knowledge, and skill activities. Classes that took place outdoors were more active and spent more time in games than those that took place indoors. Significant correlations were demonstrated between class size and time spent in management context. Time spent in management context was also correlated with time spent sitting and standing. Additionally, positive correlations were demonstrated between time very active and teachers that praised students and encouraged physical activity among their classes.^
