Otimização do controle eletrônico do diagrama de radiação de arranjos de antenas usando algoritmos genéticos com codificação real

Antenna arrays are able to provide high and controlled directivity, which are suitable for radiobase stations, radar systems, and point-to-point or satellite links. The optimization of an array design is usually a hard task because of the non-linear characteristic of multiobjective, requiring the application of numerical techniques, such as genetic algorithms. Therefore, in order to optimize the electronic control of the antenna array radiation pattem through genetic algorithms in real codification, it was developed a numerical tool which is able to positioning the array major lobe, reducing the side lobe levels, canceling interference signals in specific directions of arrival, and improving the antenna radiation performance. This was accomplished by using antenna theory concepts and optimization methods, mainly genetic algorithms ones, allowing to develop a numerical tool with creative genes codification and crossover rules, which is one of the most important contribution of this work. The efficiency of the developed genetic algorithm tool is tested and validated in several antenna and propagation applications. 11 was observed that the numerical results attend the specific requirements, showing the developed tool ability and capacity to handle the considered problems, as well as a great perspective for application in future works.

Utilização de RNA´s na construção do diagrama de vida constante de probabilidade de materiais compósitos

The static and cyclic assays are common to test materials in structures.. For cycling assays to assess the fatigue behavior of the material and thereby obtain the S-N curves and these are used to construct the diagrams of living constant. However, these diagrams, when constructed with small amounts of S-N curves underestimate or overestimate the actual behavior of the composite, there is increasing need for more testing to obtain more accurate results. Therewith, , a way of reducing costs is the statistical analysis of the fatigue behavior. The aim of this research was evaluate the probabilistic fatigue behavior of composite materials. The research was conducted in three parts. The first part consists of associating the equation of probability Weilbull equations commonly used in modeling of composite materials S-N curve, namely the exponential equation and power law and their generalizations. The second part was used the results obtained by the equation which best represents the S-N curves of probability and trained a network to the modular 5% failure. In the third part, we carried out a comparative study of the results obtained using the nonlinear model by parts (PNL) with the results of a modular network architecture (MN) in the analysis of fatigue behavior. For this we used a database of ten materials obtained from the literature to assess the ability of generalization of the modular network as well as its robustness. From the results it was found that the power law of probability generalized probabilistic behavior better represents the fatigue and composites that although the generalization ability of the MN that was not robust training with 5% failure rate, but for values mean the MN showed more accurate results than the PNL model

A evolução do lítio em estrelas do tipo-solar através do diagrama HR

Important advances have been made along the last decade in the study of the lithium behavior in solar-type stars. Among the most important discoveries what attracts attention is that the distribution of lithium abundance in the late F-type giant stars tends to be discontinuous, at the same time of a sudden decline in rotation and a gradual decline according to the temperature for giant red stars of such spectral type. Other studies have also shown that synchronized binary systems with evolved components seem to keep more of their original lithium than the unsynchronized systems. evertheless, the connection between rotation and lithium abundance as well as the role of tidal effects on lithium dilution seem to be more complicated matters, depending on mass, metallicity and age. This work brings an unprecedented study about the behavior of lithium abundance in solartype evolved stars based on an unique sample of 1067 subgiant, giant and supergiant stars, 236 of them presenting spectroscopic binary characteristics, with precise lithium abundance and projected rotational speed. Now the lithium-rotation connection for single and binary evolved stars is analyzed taking into account the role of mass and stellar age

A utilização do diagrama individual anatômico objetivo (DIAO) no contorneameento de arcos ortodônticos

A morfologia das arcadas dentárias sobre as bases ósseas é conseguida utilizando-se fios ortodônticos, os quais detêm o potencial de correção das irregularidades dentárias. O presente artigo discute conceitos acerca da morfologia das arcadas dentárias, bem como demonstra a utilização do Diagrama Individual Anatômico Objetivo (DIAO). A premissa básica para o contorneamento dos arcos de nivelamento reside na individualização da forma da arcada dentária, que deve considerar as bases ósseas e o relacionamento entre elas, bem como os objetivos terapêuticos. O contorneamento dos arcos de nivelamento baseado no diagrama individualizado torna prática a rotina ortodôntica por favorecer a constância de forma e garantir a simetria da arcada dentária.

Supervisión multidistribuida de transportes refrigerados mediante tecnología inalámbrica: diagrama de fases una nueva metodología de análisis.

El estudio de los gradientes de temperatura en cámaras frigoríficas y contenedores es un problema crítico en la industria alimentaria para el aseguramiento de la calidad de los productos durante el transporte, así como para minimizar las pérdidas. El objetivo de este trabajo es el desarrollo de una nueva metodología de análisis de datos basada en la reconstrucción del espacio de fases de la serie temporal de temperaturas, registradas por una red multidistribuida de sensores inalámbricos autónomos y de bajo coste. Se monitorizó un transporte transoceánico en barco de limones en un contenedor multimodal refrigerado, desde Montevideo (Uruguay) a Cartagena (España), utilizando una red de 39 tarjetas RFID semi-pasivas TurboTag ®. El viaje completo incluyó el transporte transoceánico de larga distancia, un cambio de buque para un segundo transporte en barco de corta distancia y finalmente un viaje en camión hasta la central. El análisis de datos se basó en un estudio cualitativo de las series temporales mediante la representación de diagramas de fases calculados sobre la teoría de reconstrucción de atractores de Takens-Ruelle. El estrés de la fruta se cuantificó en términos del área que sobre el diagrama de fases ocupó el ciclo o atractor de la temperatura. Esta nueva metodología para el análisis de los datos pone de relieve la significativa heterogeneidad de las condiciones térmicas en diferentes puntos del contenedor.

Dos nuevas tipologías por la inmersión de lo digital y la pérdida de lo analógico: arquitectura diagrama y arquitectura fenómeno.

En un tiempo de mezclas y deslizamientos, la producción arquitectónica actual se genera en base a unos lenguajes multidisciplinares alejados de los habituales. La arquitectura moderna fue consecuencia natural de las investigaciones de las vanguardias pictóricas motivadas por unas condiciones emocionales concretas a raíz de eventos trascendentales. La arquitectura contemporánea responde a paradigmas de su tiempo también, siendo el más importante y contenedor de todos: la inmersión masiva de lo digital. Los mecanismos con que afronta sus procesos beben del aprendizaje de otras disciplinas. Periferias arquitectónicas como el pensamiento, el arte visual o la ciencia ofrecen a la arquitectura nuevas metodologías y lenguajes. La información está sumamente digitalizada y tras la pérdida progresiva de lo analógico en nuestro mundo, la arquitectura activará dos mecanismos proyectuales que determinan el carácter arquitectónico desde el uso de lo digital: por un lado la arquitectura diagrama como compresión de información, formada desde parámetros sintetizados en los que ya no podemos relacionar contenido y continente; por otro lado, la arquitectura fenómeno como interfaz de información, respuesta tangible a las condiciones de merma sensorial y las nuevas naturalezas que habitamos.

Otimização do controle do diagrama de radiação de radares de varredura para rastreio de foguetes usando o método GAMMC para o Caso Planar (GAMMC-P)

Launching centers are designed for scientific and commercial activities with aerospace vehicles. Rockets Tracking Systems (RTS) are part of the infrastructure of these centers and they are responsible for collecting and processing the data trajectory of vehicles. Generally, Parabolic Reflector Radars (PRRs) are used in RTS. However, it is possible to use radars with antenna arrays, or Phased Arrays (PAs), so called Phased Arrays Radars (PARs). Thus, the excitation signal of each radiating element of the array can be adjusted to perform electronic control of the radiation pattern in order to improve functionality and maintenance of the system. Therefore, in the implementation and reuse projects of PARs, modeling is subject to various combinations of excitation signals, producing a complex optimization problem due to the large number of available solutions. In this case, it is possible to use offline optimization methods, such as Genetic Algorithms (GAs), to calculate the problem solutions, which are stored for online applications. Hence, the Genetic Algorithm with Maximum-Minimum Crossover (GAMMC) optimization method was used to develop the GAMMC-P algorithm that optimizes the modeling step of radiation pattern control from planar PAs. Compared with a conventional crossover GA, the GAMMC has a different approach from the conventional one, because it performs the crossover of the fittest individuals with the least fit individuals in order to enhance the genetic diversity. Thus, the GAMMC prevents premature convergence, increases population fitness and reduces the processing time. Therefore, the GAMMC-P uses a reconfigurable algorithm with multiple objectives, different coding and genetic operator MMC. The test results show that GAMMC-P reached the proposed requirements for different operating conditions of a planar RAV.
