Heterogeneous data source access for mobile devices

The mediator software architecture design has been developed to provide data integration and retrieval in distributed, heterogeneous environments. Since the initial conceptualization of this architecture, many new technologies have emerged that can facilitate the implementation of this design. The purpose of this thesis was to show that a mediator framework supporting users of mobile devices could be implemented using common software technologies available today. In addition, the prototype was developed with a view to providing a better understanding of what a mediator is and to expose issues that will have to be addressed in full, more robust designs. The prototype developed for this thesis was implemented using various technologies including: Java, XML, and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) among others. SOAP was used to accomplish inter-process communication. In the end, it is expected that more data intensive software applications will be possible in a world with ever-increasing demands for information.

Remoção de corantes utilizando tensoativos: extração por ponto de nuvem e floculação iônica

The textile sector is one of the main contributors to the generation of industrial wastewaters due to the use of large volumes of water, which has a high organic load content. In these, it is observed to the presence of dyes, surfactants, starch, alcohols, acetic acid and other constituents, from the various processing steps of the textiles. Hence, the treatment of textile wastewater becomes fundamental before releasing it into water bodies, where they can cause disastrous physical-chemical changes for the environment. Surfactants are substances widely used in separation processes and their use for treating textile wastewaters was evaluated in this research by applying the cloud point extraction and the ionic flocculation. In the cloud point extraction was used as surfactant nonylphenol with 9.5 ethoxylation degree to remove reactive dye. The process evaluation was performed in terms of temperature, surfactant and dye concentrations. The dye removal reached 91%. The ionic flocculation occurs due to the presence of calcium, which reacts with anionic surfactant to form insoluble surfactants capable of attracting the organic matter by adsorption. In this work the ionic flocculation using base soap was applied to the treatment of synthetic wastewater containing dyes belonging to three classes: direct, reactive, and disperse. It was evaluated by the influence of the following parameters: surfactant and electrolyte concentrations, stirring speed, equilibrium time, temperature, and pH. The flocculation of the surfactant was carried out in two ways: forming the floc in the effluent itself and forming the floc before mixing it to the effluent. Removal of reactive and direct dye, when the floc is formed into textile effluent was 97% and 87%, respectively. In the case where the floc is formed prior to adding it to the effluent, the removal to direct and disperse dye reached 92% and 87%, respectively. These results show the efficience of the evaluated processes for dye removal from textile wastewaters.

Narrativa transmídia e a expansão do universo ficcional: os princípios e as estratégias de transmidiação da telenovela Cheias de Charme

This research analyzes the transmedia narrative television series Cheias de Charme, understood as a fictional multiplatform world, composed of several pieces distributed in different media, and into the context of media convergence. With a view to its expansion in various media controlled by production, we investigated how the principles (Jenkins 2008, 2009a, 2009b) and the strategies of expansion and spread (Fechine et al., 2013) were appropriate for fiction. To do this, literature reviews were conducted about transmidiation processes and the specifics of transmedia narrative, in order to identify possible areas of action and forms of engagement with the public. In addition, he reflected on reconfigurations of the soap opera genre in the era of participatory culture. For a better understanding of the dissertation, the observations were divided into four distinct chapters, taking as a guide and starting point the inclusion of the soap opera in the internet environment. With the aid of a descriptive research with a view to the application of the Case Study procedure in the light of Gil contributions (2010), it is believed that the proposed objectives were achieved. Finally, it was concluded that Cheias de Charme, aired by TV Globo in 2012, in time of 19h, we used creative and planned actions that have worked effectively in developing a transmedia narrative.

Remoção de fenol de efluentes aquosos utilizando floculação iônica

Oil exploration is one of the most important industrial activities of modern society. Despite its derivatives present numerous applications in industrial processes, there are many undesirable by-products during this process, one of them is water separated from oil, called water production, it is constituted by pollutants difficult to degrade. In addition, the high volume of generated water makes its treatment a major problem for oil industries. Among the major contaminants of such effluents are phenol and its derivatives, substances of difficult natural degradation, which due their toxicity must be removed by a treatment process before its final disposal. In order to facilitate the removal of phenol in wastedwater from oil industry, it was developed an extraction system by ionic flocculation with surfactant. The ionic flocculation relies on the reaction of carboxylate surfactant and calcium íons, yielding in an insoluble surfactant that under stirring, aggregates forming floc capable of attracting the organic matter by adsorption. In this work was used base soap as ionic surfactant in the flocculation process and evaluated phenol removal efficiency in relation to the following parameters: surfactant concentration, phenol, calcium and electrolytes, stirring speed, contact time, temperature and pH. The flocculation of the surfactant occurred in the effluent (initial phenol concentration = 100 ppm) reaching 65% of phenol removal to concentrations of 1300 ppm and calcium of 1000 ppm, respectively, at T = 35 °C, pH = 9.7, stirring rate = 100 rpm and contact time of 5 minutes. The permanence of the flocs in an aqueous medium promotes desorption of the phenol from the flake surface to the solution, reaching 90% of desorption at a time of 150 minutes, and the study of desorption kinetics showed that Lagergren model of pseudo-first order was adequate to describe the phenol desorption. These results shows that the process may configure a new alternative of treatment in regard the removal of phenol of aqueous effluent of oil industry.

REST SERVER IN JOLIE - Practical Case

The aim of this thesis is to merge two of the emerging paradigms about web programming: RESTful Web Development and Service-Oriented Programming. REST is the main architectural paradigm about web applications, they are characterised by procedural structure which avoid the use of handshaking mechanisms. Even though REST has a standard structure to access the resources of the web applications, the backend side is usually not very modular if not complicated. Service-Oriented Programming, instead, has as one of the fundamental principles, the modularisation of the components. Service-Oriented Applications are characterised by separate modules that allow to simplify the devel- opment of the web applications. There are very few example of integration between these two technologies: it seems therefore reasonable to merge them. In this thesis the methodologies studied to reach this results are explored through an application that helps to handle documents and notes among several users, called MergeFly. The MergeFly practical case, once that all the specifics had been set, will be utilised in order to develop and handle HTTP requests through SOAP. In this document will be first defined the 1) characteristics of the application, 2) SOAP technology, partially introduced the 3) Jolie Language, 4) REST and finally a 5) Jolie-REST implementation will be offered through the MergeFly case. It is indeed implemented a token mechanism for authentication: it has been first discarded sessions and cookies algorithm of authentication in so far not into the pure RESTness theory, even if often used). In the final part the functionality and effectiveness of the results will be evaluated, judging the Jolie-REST duo.

Un webservice per collegare il cittadino con la propria situazione debitoria

La tesi tratta di un web service capace di estrapolare i dati da un database Oracle utilizzato da un gestionale già esistente, per darli come output ad un portale da cui il cittadino si potrà collegare, visionandoli. Il gestionale si occupa della fase coattiva, ovvero quando un contribuente non paga una multa o una qualsiasi tassa; fino ad oggi non era possibile far vedere in via telematica i dati della situazione coattiva di un contribuente. Grazie al web service da me creato un portale potrà fare vedere i dati al contribuente tramite esso. Inoltre grazie a questo web service in futuro si potranno collegare anche con altri portali o app smartphone per dare ulteriori servizi al cittadino.
