The real-time monitoring of events in an industrial plant is vital, to monitor the actual conditions of operation of the machinery responsible for the manufacturing process. A predictive maintenance program includes condition monitoring of the rotating machinery, to anticipate possible conditions of failure. To increase the operational reliability it is thus necessary an efficient tool to analyze and monitor the equipments, in real-time, and enabling the detection of e.g. incipient faults in bearings. To fulfill these requirements some innovations have become frequent, namely the inclusion of vibration sensors or stator current sensors. These innovations enable the development of new design methodologies that take into account the ease of future modifications, upgrades, and replacement of the monitored machine, as well as expansion of the monitoring system. This paper presents the development, implementation and testing of an instrument for vibration monitoring, as a possible solution to embed in industrial environment. The digital control system is based on an FPGA, and its configuration with an open hardware design tool is described. Special focus is given to the area of fault detection in rolling bearings. © 2012 IEEE.

The use of non-pressure compensating drip hose in horticultural and annual cycle fruits is growing in Brazil. In this case, the challenge for designers is getting longer lateral lines with high values of uniformity. The objective of this study was to develop a model to design longer lateral lines using non-pressure compensating drip hose. Using the developed model, the hypotheses to be evaluated were: a) the use of two different spacing between emitters in the same lateral line allows longer length; b) it is possible to get longer lateral lines using high values of pressure variation in the lateral lines since the distribution uniformity stays below allowable limits. A computer program was developed in Delphi based on the model developed and it is able to design lateral lines in level using non-pressure compensating drip hose. The input data are: desired distribution uniformity (DU); initial and final pressure in the lateral line; coefficients of relationship between emitter discharge and pressure head; hose internal diameter; pipe cross-sectional area with the dripper; and roughness coefficient for the Hazen-Williams equation. The program allows calculate the lateral line length with three possibilities: selecting two spacing between emitters and defining the exchange point; using two pre-established spacing between emitters and calculating the length of each section with different spacing; using one emitter spacing. Results showed that the use of two sections with different spacing between drippers in the lateral line didn't allow longer length but got better uniformity when compared with lateral line with one spacing between emitters. The adoption of two spacing increased the flow rate per meter in the final section which represented approximately 80% of the lateral line total length and this justifies their use. The software allowed DU above 90% with pressure head variation of 40% and the use of two spacing between emitters. The developed model/software showed to be accurate, easy to handle and useful for lateral line design using non-pressure compensating drip hose.

The implementation of vibration analysis techniques based on virtual instrumentation has spread increasingly in the academic and industrial branch, since the use of any software for this type of analysis brings good results at low cost. Among the existing software for programming and creation of virtual instruments, the LabVIEW was chosen for this project. This software has good interface with the method of graphical programming. In this project, it was developed a system of rotating machine condition monitoring. This monitoring system is applied in a test stand, simulating large scale applications, such as in hydroelectric, nuclear and oil exploration companies. It was initially used a test stand, where an instrumentation for data acquisition was inserted, composed of accelerometers and inductive proximity sensors. The data collection system was structured on the basis of an NI 6008 A/D converter of National Instruments. An electronic circuit command was developed through the A/D converter for a remote firing of the test stand. The equipment monitoring is performed through the data collected from the sensors. The vibration signals collected by accelerometers are processed in the time domain and frequency. Also, proximity probes were used for the axis orbit evaluation and an inductive sensor for the rotation and trigger measurement. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

Objective: To examine the influence of a preventative training program (PTP) on sagittal plane kinematics during different landing tasks and vertical jump height (VJH) in males. Design: Six weeks prospective exercise intervention. Participants: Fifteen male volleyball athletes (13 ± 0.7 years, 1.70 ± 0.12 m, 60 ± 12 kg). Interventions: PTP consisting of plyometric, balance and core stability exercises three times per week for six weeks. Bilateral vertical jumps with double leg (DL) and single leg (SL) landings were performed to measure the effects of training. Main outcome measurements: Kinematics of the knee and hip before and after training and VJH attained during both tasks after training. The hypothesis was that the PTP would produce improvements in VJH, but would not generate great changes in biomechanical behavior. Results: The only change identified for the SL was the longest duration of landing, which represents the time spent from initial ground contact to maximum knee flexion, after training, while increased angular displacement of the knee was observed during DL. The training did not significantly alter the VJH in either the SL (difference: 2.7 cm) or the DL conditions (difference: 3.5 cm). Conclusions: Despite the PTP's effectiveness in inducing some changes in kinematics, the changes were specific for each task, which highlights the importance of the specificity and individuality in selecting prevention injury exercises. Despite the absence of significant increases in the VJH, the absolute differences after training showed increases corroborating with the findings of statistically powerful studies that compared the results with control groups. The results suggest that short-term PTPs in low risk young male volleyball athletes may enhance performance and induce changes in some kinematic parameters. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

O termo Habilidades Sociais (HS) é usado para designar um conjunto de repertórios comportamentais que envolvem interações sociais satisfatórias. A maioria dos estudos publicados sobre essa temática inclui a participação de crianças e adolescentes, abordando situações em ambiente escolar. Poucos são os estudos voltados para a área de saúde, e, até o momento, não foram localizadas pesquisas sobre HS realizadas com indivíduos portadores de Anomalia da Diferenciação Sexual (ADS). Esta anomalia se caracteriza pela malformação na genitália e/ou pela disfunção das gônadas, ocasionando características sexuais secundárias não correspondentes ao sexo de criação. Estudos clínicos realizados com indivíduos portadores de ADS têm destacado a ocorrência de déficits em habilidades sociais nesses indivíduos, caracterizados pela fuga-esquiva de situações sociais aversivas. Neste trabalho, pretendeu-se caracterizar o repertório comportamental correspondente a HS em indivíduos com ADS atendidos no ambulatório de um programa especializado de um hospital da rede pública de Belém, por meio de dois estudos complementares. No primeiro, foi realizado um estudo com delineamento transversal, com o objetivo de caracterizar comportamentos correspondentes a HS em indivíduos com ADS. Participaram 9 adultos com mais de seis meses em tratamento. Foram utilizados: Roteiro de Entrevista, Protocolo para análise de prontuário e Inventário de Habilidades Sociais - IHS. Os resultados sugerem que os participantes apresentam déficit de habilidades sociais em todos os fatores do IHS em menor ou maior grau, de maneira que poderiam se beneficiar com um treinamento de habilidades sociais como parte do tratamento, por se tratar de uma técnica que visa à superação e/ou redução dos déficits por eles apresentados. No segundo, foi realizado um estudo com delineamento de sujeito único, com o objetivo de verificar os efeitos do uso de treino em automonitoramento na instalação de comportamentos correspondentes a HS. Participou uma adulta com diagnóstico de ADS selecionada dentre os que participaram do Estudo 1. O procedimento de intervenção ocorreu por meio de entrevistas semanais, de acordo com as seguintes etapas: (1) Contrato: assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido e agendamento de entrevista; (2) Avaliação: levantamento da linha de base dos comportamentos correspondentes à HS, elaboração da hierarquia dos comportamentos que indicaram déficit segundo as normas de análise do IHS e treino em registro de automonitoração; (3) Intervenção: leitura de um texto sobre habilidades sociais, apresentação da lista de direitos humanos básicos, aplicação do Questionário Construcional de Goldiamond adaptado e treino em registro de automonitoramento; (4) Re-avaliação das HS: reaplicação do IHS; (5) Follow-up: avaliação da manutenção dos ganhos obtidos com o estudo; e (6) Encerramento: entrevista devolutiva para explanação dos resultados do estudo ao participante. Os resultados sugerem que a intervenção promoveu o desenvolvimento de HS na participante, haja vista a interpretação da evolução da participante apresentada de acordo com a variação do Escore Z e da representação gráfica de significância clínica e mudança confiável.

This study aimed to verify the effects of a metatextual intervention program, in the elaboration of stories written by students with learning difficulties. Four students were included in the sample of both genders, with ages ranging between eight years and four months and ten years and two months of age. The program was implemented at the participant schools, using an approach of multiple baseline within-subjects, with two conditions: baseline and intervention. Data analysis was based on the classification of stories produced by the students. Mann-Whitney testing was also applied, to analyze whether there have been significant changes in these productions. The results indicated that all students have improved performance in relation to the categories of produced stories, from elementary schemas (33%), for a more elaborate scheme (77%), with a better structuring of the elements that constitute a story. Statistical analysis also showed that the intervention has produced significant results for all variables analyzed. The data obtained have shown that the program was effective.
