Integração semi-Lagrangeana num modelo oceano-atmosfera e ajuste geostrófico no domínio tempo

Este trabalho visa o uso da função de Green de valor inicial no ajuste geostrófico e do método Semi-Lagrangeano na integração de um modelo acoplado oceano-atmosfera descrito pelas equações de águas rasas. O ajuste geostrófico é considerado atravées de perturbações na pressão e do vento. No caso de sistemas sem rotação, é discutida a relação da equação hidrostática com ondas longas não-dispersivas. Com rotação, a conservação da vorticidade potencial permite escolher a elevação correspondente a um estado de equilíbrio geostrófico. O sistema de equações de águas rasas é desacoplado em equações de Klein-Gordon com valores iniciais e termos não-homogêneos acoplados. A resposta dinâmica formada pela resposta transiente e a resposta forçada é obtida para uma perturbação inicial da elevação. A ação do vento como forçante nas equações de momento 2D, através do transporte de Eckman, conduz a uma equação de águas rasas forçada. Uma decomposição da resposta forçada é realizada com uma resposta permanente, que satisfaz a equação de Helmholtz , e com o uso da base dinâmica gerada pela resposta impulso. Um modelo hidrodinâmico 3D introduzido por Casulli e governado por equações não-lineares de águas rasas é integrado na vertical para a obtenção de um modelo 2D. Com isto, as condições de contorno devido a tensão do vento e a fricção devido a topografia do fundo, transformam-se em forçantes do modelo. O modelo foi integrado com um método semi-implícito em diferenças finitas, utilizando-se o método Semi-Lagrangeano para a parte advectiva. Simulações simbólicas foram realizadas para o ajuste geostrófico devido a perturbações de duração infinita e finita para a elevação e para o efeito da tensão do vento. Foram realizadas simulações numéricas para variadas geometrias, em particular a Baia de Guanabara e a Lagoa do Patos.

Arquitectura semântica para a integração de sistemas no domínio do turismo

A indústria do turismo caracteriza-se pela sua heterogeneidade e pelo grande volume de transacções realizadas on-line. Cada vez mais os pequenos operadores turísticos optam por desenvolver os seus pequenos sistemas de reservas, para não terem de estar submetidos ao pagamento de comissões às entidades que gerem os grandes sistemas de informação turística. Devido a este facto, têm surgido um grande número de novas fontes de informação turística na Internet. A proliferação de informação turística torna complexo o planeamento das férias por parte do turista. A implementação de sistemas de integração de informação turística torna-se uma necessidade urgente. Ao mesmo tempo que ajudam o turista no planeamento das férias, também permitem aos operadores implementarem novas estratégias de marketing. Uma destas novas estratégias de marketing passa pela implementação do conceito de “Dynamic Packaging”. O “Dynamic Packaging” permite ao turista, ou ao agente turístico, a construção de pacotes que incluem produtos turísticos escolhidos por este sem qualquer limitação. Aos operadores turísticos, permite a criação de regras de negócio sobre a constituição de um pacote. As regras são depois aplicadas dinamicamente à medida que os pacotes são definidos. A arquitectura SEED define a implementação de um sistema de integração de informação turística. Pretende também disponibilizar a base para a implementação de sistemas que suportem o “Dynamic Packaging”. A integração da informação é realizada através da utilização das tecnologias associadas à Web Semântica. A implementação do “Dynamic Packaging” é suportada pela utilização de motores de inferência que permitem a definição e interpretação de regras semânticas.

O domínio da leitura e da escrita : por que não eu?

The study and research field of Education is wide and rich, mainly when it goes towards the empirical area of social reality. This research focuses on young and adult subjects who cannot read or write, although they had had access to and attended schools in Natal/RN. The locus of the research are the Municipal Schools that develop the Youth and Adults Education program EJA, having representatives from the North, South, East and West zones of the city, in a total of 6 municipal schools. It analyzes these subjects' replies to the questions: "Why are there young and adults who attended school but still cannot read or write?", What are the exclusion situations they face by not being able to read or write?". From a dialectic view on the subject, the research's strategy for data collection is the semi-structured interview to collect the replies given by the interviewees; replies that are separated by analysis categories presented charts of ideas. The research's results are analyzed and lead us to the conclusion that the affective, organic, cognitive, social, political and pedagogical factors are mentioned by the subjects as reasons why they can not dominate the reading or writing skills. The youth and adults interviewed are not happy with their school failure; the reading and writing learning is something that eases their social inclusion into a society that privileges such abilities, and that with it they could avoid the social exclusion they faced at school, in the work place, at home, in church, at health centers, on the street, at their children's school and in public assistance institutions

O regime constitucional da contribuição de intervenção do domínio econômico aplicável ao setor de combustíveis

The performance of the State in the economic area is only legitimized when to be given in virtue of the protection of the principles established constitutionally. Thus, the economic intervention of the State prioritizes the formation of a joust economic order and in this context, it fulfills to us to define, to the long one of this work, the contours of the intervention of the State in the economic domain in the presence of the Federal Constitution of the Republic of 05 of October of 1988, and, more specifically, in the petroliferous economic sector by means of the interventive contribution instituted after the Constitutional amendment 33/2001, with Law 10.336/2001. With the creation of this institute, in Brazil, emerged innumerable quarrels concerning its constitutional legitimacy, directing uncurling of the research to the study of the state intervention through this contribution and its constitutional limits, in the purpose to demonstrate the parameters for its institution and application. In this way, the interventive contribution in the fuel sector (CIDE-Combustíveis) shows itself as an intervention instrument on the economic domain, acting in way to finance the indirect performance of the State, specially in what concerns to the promotion of the principle of sustainable development principle. Therefore, CIDE-Combustíveis is an able instrument to concretizes the mentioned constitutional principle. Thus, the division of its incomes promotes the consolidation of the principle of the cooperative federalism. In this direction, from premises of the environmental tax law, this intends to demonstrate the utility and constitutionality of this exaction tax, primordially with regard to the realization of the basic right to the balanced environment

A intervenção estatal no domínio econômico privado através da nova lei de recuperação de empresas e falências (lei 11.101/05)

Analysis of the elements of the Constitutional Order of the letter 1988 politics, with emphasis in the principles of this, a study on the intervention of the State in the private initiative by means of the Law of Recovery of Companies and Bankruptcies (law 11.101/05). New enterprise vision is admitted, over all in the interdependence between economic and social factors. Study on the globalization and the interdependence of economic and legal sciences in the construction of a legal optics in the search for the economic and social development, with the recognition of the interference of the Economy in the Right and its uneven importance. Still, we delineate the state intervention in the economic scope, of company and in the judicial recovery, as well as the consequences of such intervention in the involved credits in the judicial recovery and patrimony of the debtor in recovery. For such task, the elements of the Judicial Recovery, its principles and adequacy of these to the related ones in the chapter had been analyzed that turns on the national economic Order, describing the formal procedure for concession of the benefit of the Judicial Recovery and the principles in existing them. The forms of intervention of the State in the private economy were not disrespected, relating its direct and indirect performance as half of preservation of interests writings in the constitutional scope as public interest and preservation of the National economic Order. The regulating agencies as of direct state intervention were half not disrespected of the study for the relevance of the subject. It is revised national bibliography with incursions in French, Portuguese and North American comparative jurisprudence. One contributes in the aspect of the paper of the Judiciary Power in the protection of the companies in crisis and the social and economic impacts, over all in relation to the rights of the worked ones, credit and enterprise

A Transposição Didádica dos Gêneros do domínio do discursivo publicitários nos livros didáticos

Advertising text has been a subject of many investigations, because of its multimodal universe. Embodied by a linguistic and discursive materiality laying on scene persuasion, argumentation and power imagery of multissemiotics elements, the advertising text acts as an instrument of power, creating and destroying, promising and denying (CARVALHO, 2007). Advertising not only invites us to act for it, but directs us to look at it. It was under this moving look - of charm and interrogations - that discussions raised in this research were born. Investigations are directed to the school environment, in special, for the discursive advertising domain in Portuguese Language Textbook. It is from this environment that was born our research whose main objective is to analyze how does the didactic transposition of textual genres, described by Marcuschi (2008) as belonging to the "advertising" discourse domain (focusing on advertising genre) in didactic books teaching Portuguese Language before and after the advent of the PCN. Textbooks taken as reference for the study are historically situated in the 90s of the twentieth century and 10 century. Such books refer to elected 7th and 8th grades, currently corresponding to the 8th and 9th grades of elementary school. The choice is justified by the fact that in these Textbook teaching series the presence of advertising domain is recurrent and "didactized". In addition, we are also concerned in analyzing books that circulated around us and our regional reality. Hence, we elected books that were used by two public high schools: Municipal School Clementina Ana da Conceição in Jaçanã city in the Rio Grande do Norte state, State School for Elementary and High school Carlota Barreira in Areia city, Paraíba state. In our research the following categories of analysis were highlighted: (1) presence of advertising in DB, (2) fluctuation terminology: concepts and classifications; (3) The complexity of concepts facilitation, (4) what they propagate, and from which nature are the explored advertisements. From our analysis, we observe how the treatment of textual "advertising" genres have been inserted into Textbooks, and how occurs, in general, their didactic transposition. Focusing on the issue of fluctuating terminology, we noted the difficulty in drawing boundaries between the genres of advertising domain in the Textbooks. However, this also would result in the complexity - in the field of scientific knowledge - of delimiting genres of the same domain. To accomplish our studies, it was required a thorough and systematic dialogue with theories regarding the concept of "Didactic Transposition", due to the theoretical Chevallard Yves (1991), research on the textual genres - Bezerra (2005), Marcuschi (2008), Bazerman (2005), Swales (2004), among others - and studies involving the field of "Advertising" - Sandmann (2002), Carvalho (2007) and others

Análise da reprodutibilidade de parâmetros no domínio da frequência do sinal EMG utilizados na caracterização da fadiga muscular localizada

The aim of this study was to analyze the reproducibility of the electromyography signal's parameters (EMG) in the frequency domain used in the characterization of localized muscle fatigue. Fifteen male subjects underwent a fatigue test based on isometric knee extension, being held at three different times at intervals of seven days. To assess the reproducibility of data between the tests we calculated the correlation coefficient (ICC) for the median frequency (MF) in total exercise time (MFT), MF obtained for every 10% of exercise time (MF10%) and the powers of the frequency bands obtained by dividing the power spectrum at windows of 20 Hz. The results showed: (1) excellent reproducibility for MFT, (2) good reproducibility for MF10%, and (3) greater variation in the signal EMG bands from 20 to 120 Hz, especially at the bands of 20-40 Hz and 40-60 Hz, which showed greater sensitivity to the process of muscle fatigue. We conclude that the MF is a variable that shows good reproducibility and that the fragmented analysis of the power spectrum, by means of frequency bands, showed that significant variations occur in the EMG signal during the installation of the fatigue process, having potential to become a new method for the characterization of localized muscle fatigue.
