An internet-based control engineering laboratory

This paper presents LABNET, an internet-based remote laboratory for control engineering education developed at UEM-University. At present, the remote laboratory integrates three basic physical systems (level control, temperature control and ship stabilizing system). In this paper, the LABNET architecture is presented and discussed in detail. Issues concerned with concurrent user access, local or remote feedback, automatic report generating and reusing of experiment’s templates have been addressed. Furthermore, the experiences gained developing, testing and using the system will be also presented and their consequences for future design.

Condicionamento acústico e certificação energética de edifícios

O presente relatório desenvolvido no âmbito do estágio curricular realizado na empresa – ASL & Associados, com duração de seis meses, tem como objetivo a elaboração e desenvolvimento de estudos acústicos de edifícios e elaboração de certificados energéticos de edifícios existentes. Inicialmente, será feita uma descrição da empresa acolhedora expondo a sua missão, valores e o portfólio abarcando projetos e revisão de projetos, certificação energética, ensaios acústicos, gestão e fiscalização de empreendimentos. As atividades desenvolvidas no estágio englobam a certificação energética de edifícios existentes aplicando a nova regulamentação térmica (REH), apresentando as simplificações de cálculo aplicadas a edifícios existentes e dois exemplos específicos de uma fração autónoma e um edifício unifamiliar. No campo da acústica foram estudados três edifícios, um habitacional, um misto e um de serviços. Para o condicionamento acústico dos casos de estudo serão aplicados métodos de cálculo utilizados na empresa e um método de cálculo para avaliação e classificação da qualidade acústica, o qual foi desenvolvido pelo Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil – LNEC. Por fim, foram elaborados as ponderações sobre a experiência vivida, como considerações sobre os resultados obtidos tendo em conta os objetivos propostos para o desenvolvimento do estágio.

Cutinase promotes dry esterification of cotton cellulose

Cutinase from Thermobifida fusca was used to esterify the hydroxyl groups of cellulose with the fatty acids from triolein. Cutinase and triolein were pre-adsorbed on cotton and the reaction proceeded in a dry state during 48 hours at 35ºC. The cutinase-catalyzed esterification of the surface of cotton fabric resulted in the linkage of the oleate groups to the glycoside units of cotton cellulose. The superficial modification was confirmed by performing ATR-FTIR on treated cotton samples and by MALDI-TOF analysis of the liquors from the treatment of the esterified cotton with a crude cellulase mixture. Modified cotton fabric also showed a significant increase of hydrophobicity. This work proposes a novel bio-based approach to obtain hydrophobic cotton. This article is protected by copyright.
