Computer-aided tool for the teaching of relational algebra in data base courses

This article describes the design and implementation of computer-aided tool called Relational Algebra Translator (RAT) in data base courses, for the teaching of relational algebra. There was a problem when introducing the relational algebra topic in the course EIF 211 Design and Implementation of Databases, which belongs to the career of Engineering in Information Systems of the National University of Costa Rica, because students attending this course were lacking profound mathematical knowledge, which led to a learning problem, being this an important subject to understand what the data bases search and request do RAT comes along to enhance the teaching-learning process.It introduces the architectural and design principles required for its implementation, such as: the language symbol table, the gramatical rules and the basic algorithms that RAT uses to translate from relational algebra to SQL language. This tool has been used for one periods and has demonstrated to be effective in the learning-teaching process.  This urged investigators to publish it in the web site: www.slinfo.una.ac.cr in order for this tool to be used in other university courses.

Desenvolvimento de um sistema para aplicação dos conceitos da tecnologia cad3d-bim na indústria moveleira

In this work was developed an information system to apply the concepts of CAD3D-BIM technology for the design activities of the furniture industry. The development of this system was based in an architecture comprised of two modules: a web interface to management the metadata of models from furniture's library and the combination of three-dimensional CAD software with a specific plugin to access the information from this model. To develop this system was also used a Data Base Management System (DBMS) designed to storage the information from models in a hierarchical way, based on concepts of Group Technology (GT). The centralization of information in a single database allows the automatic availability of any changes to all participants involved in a particular project when it‟s happens. Each module from system has its own connection to this database. Finally was developed a prototype from a 3D virtual environment to help create Virtual Reality projects in the web. A study from available technologies to create 3D web applications for execution in websites was done to support this development. The interconnection between modules and the database developed allowed the assembly of a system architecture to support the construction and exhibition of projects of the furniture industry in accordance with the concepts proposed by BIM (Building Information Modeling), using as object of study the furniture industry of state of Rio Grande do Norte

A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY OF ANIMAL BITES TO HUMANS IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, JANUARY 1, 1982 - JULY 30, 1982 (RABIES)

This study describes animal bites which occurred within the city of Houston, Texas from January 1, 1982, through July 30, 1982. The Rabies Investigation Branch (RIB) recorded 2,047 bite cases. The study has as its foundation a data base management system that was developed to improve the planning and evaluation of the activities of the Rabies Investigation Branch of the Animal Control Center of the City of Houston Health Department. The study provides information which will allow for the development of a more effective animal bite program to meet the needs of the citizens of Houston. ^

A Three-Dimensional B.I.E.M. Program

The program PECET (Boundary Element Program in Three-Dimensional Elasticity) is presented in this paper. This program, written in FORTRAN V and implemen ted on a UNIVAC 1100,has more than 10,000 sentences and 96 routines and has a lot of capabilities which will be explained in more detail. The object of the program is the analysis of 3-D piecewise heterogeneous elastic domains, using a subregionalization process and 3-D parabolic isopara, metric boundary elements. The program uses special data base management which will be described below, and the modularity followed to write it gives a great flexibility to the package. The Method of Analysis includes an adaptive integration process, an original treatment of boundary conditions, a complete treatment of body forces, the utilization of a Modified Conjugate Gradient Method of solution and an original process of storage which makes it possible to save a lot of memory.
