Determinação da freqüência natural de eixos utilizando o software excel

This work aims to determine the first natural frequency of rotation shaft by using a basic software, Excel, and to compare it to the values obtained in laboratory. When an axle is submitted to a rotation, depending on the rotational frequency used, the axle can enter a state of resonance, in which the amplitude of vibration becomes rather high. The frequencies in which the resonance is observed depends on several parameters of the axle, including the number of concentrated masses associated to the axle. Thus, to obtain a computer program of easy use and access, which can preview the frequency of resonance of an axle in rotation with ‘n’ numbers of concentrated masses it has been studied how the frequency varies with each of these parameters. The computer program and the analyses have been made using the Rayleigh Method, which allowed the transformation of a continuous system to discrete through the theory of finite elements, which has proved that, the bigger the number of divisions of the shaft taken into consideration in the calculus of the natural frequency, the more this value gets close to the real value. The results obtained have been considered satisfactory once these have gotten close to the theoretical results expected

Estudo da deposição de energia das radiofrequências através do método das diferenças finitas dependentes do tempo Monografia

Radiotherapy in veterinary practice is already known and widely distributed in large specialized centers of developed countries. In early 2000, there were about 30 radiotherapy equipment specifically designed for the veterinary clinic in the United States. In Brazil, the veterinary radiotherapy is still confined to research in universities, where most of the procedures is radiation therapy performed with superficial x-ray machines, with a voltage between 50 and 150 kVp, focus-distance surface (DFS) between 20,0cm and 40,0cm. As that occurs in human medicine, new research strengthens the development and prospects for the use of radiotherapy as a safe option for treating cancer in animals. This paper presents a methodology for calculating the exposure time for superficial radiotherapy procedures in veterinary medicine for small animals (dogs and cats). The dosimetric parameters of X-rays are determined using a spreadsheet tool for Microsoft Office Excel, developed in this paper for a device Dermopan 2, Veterinary Hospital of UNESP in Araçatuba. Using the worksheet helps the veterinarian to determine the time of exposure to radiation determined for each clinical case, optimize the workflow for professionals in veterinary radiotherapy procedures, which often lack the medical physics in team and at the time of radiotherapy. The correct use of spreadsheet decreases the chances of errors in dose rates of radiation, providing a higher quality of care

Conhecimento odontológico de adultos atendidos em uma unidade de saúde da família do município de São Carlos, Brasil

The Family Health Strategy is a primary care public policy that is becoming a decisive step towards the transformation of the Brazilian healthcare model. This study evaluated the dental knowledge among individuals who attended a Family-Health Unit (FHU) in the city of São Carlos, SP, Brazil. Methods: The evaluation was based on a questionnaire with 20 questions about oral health, prevention and development of dental caries and periodontal disease. The questionnaire was given to 168 individuals, over 18 years of age and both sexes, to fill out under the supervision of a trained dentist. After data collection, the answers contained in the original questionnaires were entered into a database built using the program Excel® (Microsoft Corporation, USA) and a descriptive statistical analysis was done. Results: 66.67% of the subjects reported having received information about dental caries and periodontal disease before attending the FHU, and dentists were cited as the main source of such information (60.71%). With regard to dental caries, 70.24% of the individuals stated that they knew about the subject, but the majority of answers revealed incorrect explanation of it. The multifactorial etiology (bacteria/sugar/poor hygiene) was not mentioned. A low percentage of subjects (24.40%) claimed to know what periodontal disease is, and of these, the highest percentage of responses was related to gingivitis (26.83%) and gingival bleeding (12.20%). Out of all subjects, 80.36% affirmed that oral hygiene is important, and among them, the main reasons cited were the maintenance of oral health (29.63%), to avoid diseases (16.30%) and to preserve and prevent disease (14.81%). Conclusion: Responses from the questionnaires revealed deficient dental knowledge among the individuals. To improve the understanding about this issue, the information obtained through the questionnaire can be used to develop educational programs that will focus specifically on the major deficiencies found.

Metodologia para otimização em subcontratação de serviço de usinagem

Operational Research (OR) is an eminent science to business competitiveness and the capacity of algorithms and spreadsheets that exist today allows people to apply them for a lower cost and with less complexity. However, spreadsheets linked to OR techniques, when directed to real problems, are still little explored in their full potential. In order to use them better, this article utilizes the Microsoft Office Excel to solve an optimization practical problem and decision-making of machining subcontracting. In general, although considered a frequent problem, is not of easy solution, optimize the mix of production versus outsourcing, because of the restrictions and resources available, it requests investments in specific software. In this way, this research aims to develop software to be called SOSU (Optimization Software for Machining Subcontracting). SOSU should introduce the best mix of internal and subcontracted machining for n types of parts that, over a certain period of time t, maximize capacity and meet all the demand at the lowest cost possible. The methodology adopted follows the bibliographic reference and it is assumed that the necessary data to prove from mathematical modeling of production areas and from a system of costs already structured. The nature of the problem justifies the application of Linear Programming (LP), Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is used for computational implementation and interface with the user and the supplement Solver to find the solution. The analysis of the experiments show that the SOSU optimizes resources and improves the decision-making process, besides an easy operation, it can be implemented or quickly adapted and without the need of large investments.

Avaliação de desenpenho do método 3DLBP utilizando mapas de profundidade gerados pelo Microsoft Kinect

Problemas com pose e iluminação são desafios complexos para o reconhecimento de faces 2D. Devido a estes problemas vários métodos para reconhecimento de faces 3D têm sido propostos, principalmente pelo fato que os dados em 3D são mais resistentes a iluminação e são úteis para correção de pose. O maior problema com a utilização de métodos 3D é o custo elevado dos scanners 3D tradicionais. Uma alternativa é a utilização do Microsoft Kinect que, além de ser consideravelmente mais barato, é capaz de capturar os dados de profundidade com precisão necessária para discriminar sujeitos. O principal objetivo do presente trabalho é avaliar a performance do método 3DLBP para o reconhecimento de faces quando utilizando os mapas de profundidade gerados pelo Kinect. Outro objetivo é investigar quais regiões da face que desempenham melhor no reconhecimento de face.

Studio ed analisi dell'applicativo Microsoft Sharepoint per lo sviluppo di soluzioni orientate al business

La mia esperienza con Microsoft SharePoint ha inizio durante il tirocinio svolto presso una famosa azienda bolognese tra fine settembre e metà novembre 2014. Durante questi due mesi ho avuto il piacere di confrontarmi con questa piattaforma e di studiarla allo scopo di carpire quali possano essere i vantaggi e gli svantaggi per un'impresa una volta che decidesse di investire su di essa. La decisione di scrivere una tesi su SharePoint e di aumentare la mia conoscenza su di esso, ha preso piede dentro di me in seguito allo sviluppo di una piccola applicazione d'esempio. Infatti in sole due settimane e senza scrivere una riga di codice, se non qualche piccolo script di css, sono stato in grado di realizzare un piccolo gestionale per uno studio di rappresentanza di abbigliamento. Grazie alla realizzazione di questo applicato ho potuto riscontrare l'effettiva forza del tool. Difatti, SharePoint, possiede un livello d'astrazione così elevato da offrire una o più soluzioni predefinite ad una vasta gamma di problemi di business, riducendo conseguentemente i tempi ed i costi di sviluppo. A questa motivazione si è aggiunta anche quella derivante dal fatto che la piattaforma viene usata da molte realtà aziendali di elevata importanza. A tal proposito una di queste mi ha concesso l'autorizzazione a sottoporle un'intervista.

Analisi sperimentale sull'utilizzo del Microsoft Kinect One come sistema di Body Tracking per la realta virtuale in riabilitazione

In questo progetto di tesi sarà innanzitutto presentato il Kinect One e sarà fatta una panoramica sull’uso della realtà virtuale in ambito riabilitativo. In seguito sarà analizzato l’algoritmo di Body tracking, valutandone il comportamento in diverse situazioni pratiche e poi stimandone la precisione in statica. Sarà presentato un filtraggio per limitare il rumore in tempo reale e valutarne i pro ed i contro in funzione delle caratteristiche impostabili. Saranno presentate inoltre le metodologie con cui gli algoritmi integrati del Kinect permettono di ricavare una stima dell’orientamento delle parti anatomiche nello spazio ed alcune considerazioni circa le implicazioni pratiche di tali metodologie, anche in base alle osservazioni sul campo ottenute durante i mesi di realizzazione di questo progetto. Lo scopo è determinare se e come sia possibile utilizzare il Microsoft Kinect One come unico sistema di motion tracking del paziente in applicazioni cliniche di riabilitazione, quali limiti ci sono nel suo utilizzo e quali categorie di scenari e prove potrebbe supportare.
