Técnica de localização em ambientes fechados utilizando padrões de redes sem fio.

Localizar objetos ou pessoas no interior de um edifício é de grande interesse. Contudo, diferentemente do que ocorre no exterior de edificações, não há metodologia consagrada para a determinação da posição desses entes nos edifícios. Para o posicionamento em locais abertos existem tecnologias consolidadas, como GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), a dificuldade em fazê-lo em interiores é maior. Nesses casos, o GNSS não pode ser utilizado, pois os sinais de rádio dos satélites não conseguem penetrar através das estruturas, enquanto que outras tecnologias são apenas incipientes nesse quesito. Abordagens habituais para a resolução dessa demanda têm se baseado na utilização de propagadores das ondas de rádio do GNSS, no uso da potência de sinais de redes sem fio ou, ainda, no emprego de transmissores infravermelhos. No entanto, uma técnica diferente pode ser empreendida para essa finalidade. Usando-se a assinatura das potências de rádio das redes sem fio nas imediações e no interior da edificação, é possível criar um mapa com base nesses sinais, permitindo a determinação da posição de um objeto. No presente trabalho foram desenvolvidos um sistema para geração do mapa de sinais, com critério de parada e um método de cálculo de posicionamento. Procedeu-se, também, à análise de quatro critérios para o cálculo final da posição do objeto, baseados no uso da distância euclidiana com os conjuntos de roteadores disponíveis. Concluiu-se que, quando o mapa de sinais é pequeno, o posicionamento fracassou. Entretanto, quando a quantidade de sinais geradores do mapa aumenta, os resultados apresentaram melhora significativa, com resultados próximos a 100% de assertividade. Desse modo foi possível determinar uma estimativa boa para o número mínimo de roteadores presentes na base e estabelecer um critério de parada para a fase de criação do mapa de sinais.

Localização de robôs móveis em ambientes fechados utilizando câmeras montadas no teto

The localization of mobile robots in indoor environments finds lots of problems such as accumulated errors and the constant changes that occur at these places. A technique called global vision intends to localize robots using images acquired by cameras placed in such a way that covers the place where the robots movement takes place. Localization is obtained by marks put on top of the robot. Algorithms applied to the images search for the mark on top of the robot and by finding the mark they are able to get the position and orientation of the robot. Such techniques used to face some difficulties related with the hardware capacity, fact that limited their execution in real time. However, the technological advances of the last years changed that situation and enabling the development and execution of such algorithms in plain capacity. The proposal specified here intends to develop a mobile robot localization system at indoor environments using a technique called global vision to track the robot and acquire the images, all in real time, intending to improve the robot localization process inside the environment. Being a localization method that takes just actual information in its calculations, the robot localization using images fit into the needs of this kind of place. Besides, it enables more accurate results and in real time, what is exactly the museum application needs.

Comportamento do consumidor: um estudo do mercado imobiliário em condomínios verticais fechados na região metropolitana de Natal

The research in question looked for to establish the relation between the motivation (of the proprietor of apartment) to change itself of another one apartment, in closed vertical condominium (residential mobility) in the period of the recognition of the necessity, and the satisfaction with the apartment after consume. The universe or the population chosen for the development of the study was of proprietors of apartment in vertical condominiums located in the region metropolitan of Natal. The analysis of data was made using the techniques of linear regression and logistic regression between variables. The linear regression found relations between the motivations for housing change and the satisfaction in after consume with some attributes of the apartment. The logistic regression showed that relations between the motivations for change and the general satisfaction to the apartment exist as a whole, in the period after consumes. With regard to the motivation to change itself of a apartment for another one, some reasons shown more motivation them the others. The research found different degrees of satisfaction with certain characteristics of the apartment and degrees of no satisfaction with others. Finally the results of the research had contributed for the reply of the problem that guided the present study, therefore had obtained in such a way to find how much logistic not linear relations between the two periods purchase (recognition of the necessity and evaluation after consume) and had elucidated the process that goes since the choice the product until the satisfaction of the necessities

Condomínios fechados: a produção habitacional contemporânea e a auto-exclusão dos ricos no espaço urbano de Natal RN (1995 2003)

The present work analyzes the fast evolution of gated communities in Natal-RN´s urban space. Characterized by the occupation of large areas, providing private security and utilities, this kind of real estate use arises a long list of questions and issues from society and scholars, due to privatization of urban space, bending of law constraints and the lack of an integrated planning of the cities where they are built. The reasons for its fast growth in Brazil s urban areas are analyzed, considering the impact on formal urban planning and municipal services and on the identification of urbanistic, architectural pattern and constraints, as well as legal, social and economic issues. This study is based on the detailed analysis of the first three units of gated communities built in the urban space in Natal, between 1995 and 2003, including their evolution throughout time and the specific social and economic reasons for its present widespread adoption in Brazilian real estate market and, particulary, in our city. The main objective of this piece of work is to answer the why s and how s these phenomena evolved, setting a basis for the definition of adequate public policies and regulation of this kind of urban land use

Sistema contable para condominios habitacionales caso practico Riverside North en la ciudad de San Miguel para el año 2013

Condominio Parque Residencial Riverside North, lo forman un grupo de propietarios cuya propiedad está ubicada en terreno donde les pertenece a varias personas y que reúne las condiciones y características establecidas en la ley de propiedad inmobiliaria por pisos y apartamientos. La investigación se llevara a cabo con el conocimiento y la información que se obtenga que de la administración de condominios que contempla aspectos de gestión administrativa, sistema de recaudación de cuotas de mantenimiento, 4gestión de cobranza, así como la gestión contable y financiera, los propietarios de condominios exigen exactitud, prontitud, eficiencia y transparencia en la gestión del contador siendo actualmente uno de los factores que presenta dificultad en el desempeño de sus funciones. Se desarrolló un estudio preliminar a la entidad y se pudo constatar que no cuenta actualmente la empresa con un catálogo de cuenta, manual de aplicación y políticas contables para la elaboración de sus Estados Financieros y los reportes que se están elaborando y presentando no están basados en la normativa legal contable que cumpla con los estándares de las NIIF para las PYMES para que de esa manera pueda ser de mayor utilidad a sus usuarios internos y externos.

Eficiencia de irrigacao em sulcos parcialmente fechados no final.

Compararam-se dois sistemas de irrigação por sulcos. Um deles constou da aplicação de vazes constantes, através de sifões para valores de R (relação entre o tempo de oportunidade no final do sulco e o tempo de avanço) iguais a 0,2;0,7 e 1,2. O outro constou da redução semi-automática da vazão inicial através de cânulas para R igual a 1,0. Em ambos os sistemas de irrigação, foram testadas duas modalidades de sulcos: sulcos abertos (SA), sistema tradicional, e sulcos parcialmente fechados no final (SPF), por meio de verterdores triangulares feitos de folhas de ferro. Constatou-se que o tempo de recessão no SPF é relativamente maior que no SA, em ambas as varões, e que o tempo de recessão no trecho final do sulco aumentou bruscamente com o acréscimo do valor de R, em vazão constante, enquanto para o SA a recessão apresentou-se como urna linha horizontal. As vazões médias de escoamento superficial em sulcos abertos mostraram-se bastante superiores às do sistema de sulcos parcialmente fechados, em ambas as vazões. As perdas por escoamento superficial no SPF, em vazão constante, em relação às perdas observadas no SA, foram reduzidas em 72,22%; 79,23% e 52,48%, para valores de R iguais a 0,2; 0,7 e 1,2, respectivamente. Enquanto em redução semi-automática da vazão inicial, estas perdas foram reduzidas em apenas 25,07%, para R igual a 1,0. O sistema de irrigação SPF proporcionou um aumento médio de 29,40% na eficiência de aplicação em relação ao SA em vazão constante.

Entre Syrie et Mésopotamie : vases zoomorphes du Règne de Mittani

Abstract: The Mittanian zoomorphic vessels from Nuzi, Tell Brak, Tell al-Rimah and other sites allow the creation of a significant database for analysis based on typological criteria as well as spatial distribution. This class of materials is attested in several areas of the ancient Near East from the Late Calcholitic and still produced until the Mittanian age and thereafter. Most of the finds come from temples or domestic contexts and they can be now securely dated, while their spatial distribution can be properly investigated. Lion representations seem to predominate, but pigs and other animals appear as well. The exact function and meaning of these vessels are difficult to ascertain, nevertheless, in most cases, they are probably related to cultic practices performed throughout the Mittanian Empire.

Timna revisited : egyptian chronology and the copper mines of the southern Arabah

This article studies the chronology of the New Kingdom Egyptian copper mining in the southern Arabah valley, and particularly Timna, traditionally dated in the 13th– 12th centuries BCE. a reassessment is made of the local archaeological evidence and especially of the findings of the Hejazi Qurayya pottery in archaeological assemblages of the southern Levant. It is argued that the chronology of the New Kingdom activities at Timna needs a revision towards lower dates.
