Complex modal analysis of a slender vertical rotor by finite elements method

In this paper, natural frequencies were analyzed (axial, torsional and flexural) and frequency response of a vertical rotor with a hard disk at the edge through the classical modal and complex analysis. The equation that rules the movement was obtained through the Lagrangian formulation. The model considered the effects of bending, torsion and axial deformation of the shaft, besides the gravitational and gyroscopic effects. The finite element method was used to discretize the structure into hollow cylindrical elements with 12 degrees of freedom. Mass, stiffness and gyroscopic matrices were explained consistently. The classical modal analysis, usually applied to stationary structures, does not consider an important characteristic of rotating machinery which are the methods of forward and backward whirl. Initially, through the traditional modal analysis, axial and torsional natural frequencies were obtained in a static shaft, since they do not suffer the influence of gyroscopic effects. Later research was performed by complex modal analysis. This type of tool, based on the use of complex coordinates to describe the dynamic behavior of rotating shaft, allows the decomposition of the system in two submodes, backward and forward. Thus, it is possible to clearly visualize that the orbit and direction of the precessional motion around the line of the rotating shaft is not deformed. A finite element program was developed using MATLAB (TM) and numerical simulations were performed to validate this model. Natural frequencies and directional frequency forced response (dFRF) were obtained using the complex modal analysis for a simple vertical rotor and also for a typical drill string used in the construction of oil wells.

Desenvolvimento de ferramentas pedagógicas para identificação de escolares de risco para a dislexia

PURPOSE: The development and application of collective pedagogical activities to assess phonological skills in pre-readers and beginning readers and could serve as potential screening tools to help in the early identification of students at risk for dyslexia. METHODS: The FAE tasks (alternative tools for educators) were built on classical phonological tasks known as sound categorization and in the Protocol for Cognitive-Linguistic Skills. FAE tasks basically consisted of matching pictures as well as pictures to spoken words according to their phonological similarity in the onset (alliteration) or rhyme and were given to 45 students on the first grade, of both genres and 7.3 years old on average. RESULTS: The protocol proved to be effective, confirming that phonological awareness, verbal working memory and rapid naming abilities constitute the main risk factors for dyslexia, and to which the FAE tasks were more strongly correlated jointly with the phonemic discrimination. FAE tasks were also strongly correlated with literacy skills. CONCLUSIONS: Students at risk for dyslexia can be efficiently identified through scientifically developed pedagogical tools, adapted and tested for the Brazilian's educational reality. This is a promising research field with the potential to help in avoiding the currently excessive number of students mistakenly labeled as having learning disabilities and improperly referred to specialized public services, as well as to indicate the more appropriate theoretical-empirical framework to guide our educational policies.

Tecnologia assistiva para a criança com paralisia cerebral na escola: identificação das necessidades

Studies about Assistive Technology have emphasized the need to integrate resources, services and strategies for inclusion and special education to foster the learning process and skill development of students with disabilities. The literature describes that the first step towards implementing assistive technology in schools should enable professionals to understand the situation involving the student in order to expand his or her participation in the teaching and learning process. This study aimed to identify the need for assistive technology services, resources and strategies for students with cerebral palsy in school. Two children with cerebral palsy and their teachers were selected. The data collection phase included three successive procedures: interviews with teachers, completing the identification protocol of the school routine and participant observation conducted in the classroom using filming and field diary. Based on the material gained from these three procedures, data triangulation was proposed, i.e., grouping information in a single document in order to establish categories of analysis. After preparing the material, the categories were assessed by judges from the field of knowledge. The results showed that after understanding the situation of the disabled student within the school context, it was possible to establish his or her skills and needs to indicate the appropriate assistive technology resources for the teacher's planning and thus provide proper teaching and learning for the children with disabilities. The study identified the need to establish specific procedures, an organized pedagogical plan and participation of health professionals as consultants on using assistive technology in school.

Aplicação da espectrofotometria de fluorescência para identificação de inibidores de proteases em plantas de Cerrado e Mata Atlântica: uma ferramenta enzimática moderna para a busca de novos hits biologicamente ativos

O presente trabalho de conclusão de curso reporta os resultados obtidos durante o estágio de Iniciação Científica realizado no Núcleo de Biossíntese, Bioensaios e Ecofisiologia de Produtos Naturais do Departamento de Química Orgânica do Instituto de Química da UNESP-Araraquara. Foram realizados ensaios de triagem de substâncias naturais, semissintéticas e sintéticas com atividade inibitória sobre a protease aspártica pepsina e a protease serínica subtilisina. As amostras foram obtidas de extratos vegetais e de fungos endofíticos e foram testadas tanto substâncias puras naturais como diterpenos clerodânicos, cromenos, peptídeos e amidas bem como derivados sintéticos do ácido caféico, ferúlico, alcalóides piridínicos, entre outros resultantes das pesquisas realizadas por pesquisadores do NuBBE. Resultados mostraram que os ensaios de inibição da pepsina e da subtilisina apresentaram seletividade para os diferentes tipos de substâncias testadas. Ainda mais, foi possível observar diferenças nos resultados obtidos com os enantiômeros dos cromanos e dos cromenos. As substâncias que apresentaram maiores porcentagens de inibição foram os cromenos, os derivados do ácido cafeico, do ácido ferúlico e do ácido benzóico, as amidas, bem como os diterpenos clerodânicos. Alguns destes resultados foram publicados em revistas indexadas (Flausino et al., 2009; López et al., 2010; Oliveira et al., 2011) e outros estão sendo preparados para publicação
