Design and implementation of adaptive baseband predistorter for OFDM nonlinear transmitter : simulation and measurement of OFDM transmitter in presence of RF high power amplifier nonlinear distortion and the development of adaptive digital predistorters based on Hammerstein approach

Sadeghpour Ghazaany, Tahereh January 2011 (has links)
The objective of this research work is to investigate, design and measurement of a digital predistortion linearizer that is able to compensate the dynamic nonlinear distortion of a High Power Amplifier (PA). The effectiveness of the proposed baseband predistorter (PD) on the performance of a WLAN OFDM transmitter utilizing a nonlinear PA with memory effect is observed and discussed. For this purpose, a 10W Class-A/B power amplifier with a gain of 22 dB, operated over the 3.5 GHz frequency band was designed and implemented. The proposed baseband PD is independent of the operating RF frequency and can be used in multiband applications. Its operation is based on the Hammerstein system, taking into account PA memory effect compensation, and demonstrates a noticeable improvement compared to memoryless predistorters. Different types of modelling procedures and linearizers were introduced and investigated, in which accurate behavioural models of Radio Frequency (RF) PAs exhibiting linear and nonlinear memory effects were presented and considered, based on the Wiener approach employing a linear parametric estimation technique. Three new linear methods of parameter estimation were investigated, with the aim of reducing the complexity of the required filtering process in linear memory compensation. Moreover, an improved wiener model is represented to include the nonlinear memory effect in the system. The validity of the PA modelling approaches and predistortion techniques for compensation of nonlinearities of a PA were verified by several tests and measurements. The approaches presented, based on the Wiener system, have the capacity to deal with the existing trade-off between accuracy and convergence speed compared to more computationally complex behavioural modelling algorithms considering memory effects, such as those based on Volterra series and Neural Networks. In addition, nonlinear and linear crosstalks introduced by the power amplifier nonlinear behaviour and antennas mutual coupling due to the compact size of a MIMO OFDM transmitter have been investigated.

Morphologie tridimensionnelle du bassin scoliotique

Santucci Ribeiro, Camila 10 1900 (has links)
La scoliose idiopathique de l’adolescence (SIA) est une déformation tridimensionnelle de la colonne vertébrale et de la cage thoracique dont la cause est inconnue. Il semble que la ceinture pelvienne soit impliquée dans la pathogénie de la SIA, car des différences géométriques des os coxaux ont été observées. Notamment, une rotation du bassin ou une inclinaison latérale dans le sens de la courbe scoliotique ont été mises en évidence en plus des distorsions osseuses. Il est difficile de dissocier la rotation du bassin de son asymétrie, car la majorité des études porte sur des données radiologiques bidimensionnelles. Une analyse tridimensionnelle de la morphologie du bassin de patientes ayant une SIA, mais n’ayant pas reçu de traitement par corset ou chirurgie permettrait d’identifier le rôle du bassin dans la progression de la scoliose. Dix-sept jeunes filles atteintes de la SIA ont participé à cette étude pour lesquelles des radiographies bi-planaires en station debout étaient disponibles au moment du diagnostic par un chirurgien orthopédiste pédiatrique et à l’instant de la prescription d'un corset. Des radiographies postéro-antérieures et latérales avaient été prises au moyen du système EOS®. Douze repères anatomiques du bassin ont été identifiés sur les paires de radiographies, alors que quatre repères ont été identifiés sur la radiographie postéro-antérieure uniquement. Ces quatre derniers n’étaient pas identifiables sur la radiographie latérale à cause de la superposition des repères droits et gauches. La reconstruction tridimensionnelle du bassin a été réalisée à partir de deux clichés radiographiques des 12 premiers repères osseux. Au total, neuf paramètres tridimensionnels ont été calculés afin de quantifier l’asymétrie et la distorsion du bassin entre les deux temps donnés. Des paramètres bidimensionnels ont également été mesurés sur les quatre derniers repères osseux afin de documenter des déformations du bassin pertinentes à la pratique clinique, telle que la rotation axiale de celui-ci. Dans le but d'évaluer une possible asymétrie entre les os coxaux du bassin, les paramètres tridimensionnels du bassin gauche ont été comparés à ceux du côté droit à chaque temps, au moyen d'un test-t pour échantillon apparié. La morphologie pelvienne a été également évaluée par l'analyse multivariée (MANOVA) à mesures répétées à deux conditions (côté*temps). En conséquence, nous avons constaté une croissance osseuse statistiquement significative du bassin dans l’intervalle de temps entre le diagnostic de la scoliose et le port du corset (p=0,033). Une asymétrie significative entre les côtés gauche et droit du bassin (p=0,013) a également été constatée. En ce qui concerne les paramètres bidimensionnels, nous avons constaté une augmentation de la version pelvienne (p=0,024) au cours de la croissance des jeunes filles. Finalement, le bassin n'a pas présenté de distorsion, puisqu'une valeur de p de 0,763 a été observée. En conclusion, la croissance des jeunes filles atteintes de la scoliose idiopathique de l'adolescence est accompagnée d'une asymétrie morphologique entre les deux os coxaux du bassin. Cette asymétrie constatée au moment du diagnostic de la scoliose des filles a évolué jusqu'à l’instant où le port du corset a été prescrit. Quant aux paramètres bidimensionnels, nous pouvons conclure que la rotation du bassin vers l'arrière a augmenté au cours de la croissance des jeunes filles, produisant ainsi une rétroversion pelvienne dans le plan sagittal. La distorsion tridimensionnelle du bassin n'a toutefois pas été observée au cours de la croissance des jeunes filles. / Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformation of the spine and rib cage of unknown cause. It seems that the pelvis is involved in the pathogenesis of the AIS because geometric differences in the hip bones were observed. A pelvic rotation or a lateral tilt in the direction of the scoliotic curve was observed in addition to bone distortions. It is difficult to separate the pelvic rotation from its asymmetry since most studies are based on bi-dimensional radiologic data. A three-dimensional analysis of the pelvis morphology in patients with AIS, but no brace treatment nor surgery could better define the role of pelvis in the progression of the scoliosis. Seventeen young girls with AIS have participated in this study. Standing bi-planer radiographs were available at the time of diagnosis by a pediatric orthopedic surgeon and at the moment of the brace prescription. Postero-anterior and lateral X-rays were taken using the EOS® system. Twelve anatomical landmarks of the pelvis were identified on the radiograph pairs and four landmarks were identified on the postero-anterior radiography only. These were not identified on the lateral radiograph due to the superposition of the right and left landmarks. The three-dimensional reconstruction of the pelvis was performed using two radiographs of the first 12 bony landmarks. A total of nine three-dimensional parameters were calculated to quantify the asymmetry of the pelvis distortion between the two given times. Bi-dimensional parameters were also measured on the last four bony landmarks in order to document the pelvic deformations relevant to the clinical practice such as the rotation. With the objective of evaluating a possible asymmetry between the hip bones of the pelvis, the three-dimension parameters of the left pelvis were compared to those of the right side in each time using a paired sample t-test. The pelvic morphology was also evaluated using a multivariate analysis (MANOVA) with repeated measures on two conditions (side*time). A statistically significant bone growth of the pelvis in the time interval between the diagnosis of the scoliosis and the brace prescription (p=0.033) was observed in consequence. A significant asymmetry between the left and right sides of the pelvis (p=0.013) without distortion was also observed. Regarding the bi-dimensional parameters, we found an increase in pelvic release (p=0.024) during the growth of the girls. Finally, the pelvis did not show a distortion because a p value of 0.763 was observed. In conclusion, the growth of young girls with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is related to a morphological asymmetry between the two hipbones of the pelvis. This asymmetry observed at the moment of the scolioisis diagnosis has evolved until de moment of the brace prescription. As for the bi-dimensional parameters, we can conclude that the rotation of the pelvis to the back increased during the growth of the girls, producing a pelvic retroversion in the sagittal plan. The three-dimensional distortion of the pelvis, however, has not been observed during the young girls growth.

Performance Appraisal of Estimation Algorithms and Application of Estimation Algorithms to Target Tracking

Zhao, Zhanlue 22 May 2006 (has links)
This dissertation consists of two parts. The first part deals with the performance appraisal of estimation algorithms. The second part focuses on the application of estimation algorithms to target tracking. Performance appraisal is crucial for understanding, developing and comparing various estimation algorithms. In particular, with the evolvement of estimation theory and the increase of problem complexity, performance appraisal is getting more and more challenging for engineers to make comprehensive conclusions. However, the existing theoretical results are inadequate for practical reference. The first part of this dissertation is dedicated to performance measures which include local performance measures, global performance measures and model distortion measure. The second part focuses on application of the recursive best linear unbiased estimation (BLUE) or lineae minimum mean square error (LMMSE) estimation to nonlinear measurement problem in target tracking. Kalman filter has been the dominant basis for dynamic state filtering for several decades. Beyond Kalman filter, a more fundamental basis for the recursive best linear unbiased filtering has been thoroughly investigated in a series of papers by Dr. X. Rong Li. Based on the so-called quasirecursive best linear unbiased filtering technique, the constraints of the Kalman filter Linear-Gaussian assumptions can be relaxed such that a general linear filtering technique for nonlinear systems can be achieved. An approximate optimal BLUE filter is implemented for nonlinear measurements in target tracking which outperforms the existing method significantly in terms of accuracy, credibility and robustness.

Estudo investigativo da análise modal aplicada a sistemas de distribuição frente às distorções harmônicas / Investigative study of modal analysis applied to distribution systems within the scope of harmonic distortions

Golfieri, Carolina Iovance 25 September 2018 (has links)
Esta pesquisa apresenta um estudo investigativo da análise modal aplicada a Sistemas de Distribuição (SDs) frente às distorções harmônicas, no contexto da Qualidade da Energia Elétrica (QEE). A partir do método de análise da ressonância modal, foi conduzido um estudo investigativo para apontar quais barramentos são mais sensíveis e permitem uma melhor observação frente às distorções harmônicas. Vale adiantar que o método de análise de ressonância modal, o qual é fundamentado na decomposição espectral da matriz de admitância do sistema elétrico, já apresenta interessantes trabalhos voltados para sistemas de transmissão. O desafio desta pesquisa foi então investigar a sua aplicação para SDs com um direcionamento às distorções harmônicas, bem como ao seu monitoramento. Dentre os resultados encontrados no desenvolvimento da pesquisa, destaca-se um melhor entendimento do problema das distorções harmônicas, o qual permitiu evidenciar a sensibilidade e a observabilidade dos SDs testes frente ao problema definido no contexto da QEE. / This research presents an investigative study of the modal analysis applied to Distribution Systems (DSs) in the context of Power Quality (PQ) considering the harmonic distortions. From the modal resonance analysis, an investigative study was conducted to indicate which bus bars are more sensitive and allow better observation in face of harmonic distortions. It is worth mentioning that the method of modal resonance analysis, which is based on the spectral decomposition of the admittance matrix of the electric system, already presents interesting applications focused on transmission systems. The challenge of this research was to investigate its application to DSs focusing on harmonic distortions, as well as their monitoring. Among the observed results of the research development, a better understanding of the harmonic distortions problem was achieved, which made it possible to highlight the sensitivity and observability of the DSs tests against the problem defined in the context of the PQ.

Desenvolvimento do sistema de potência elétrica em uma unidade móvel de irradiação por feixe de elétrons para tratamento de águas residuárias e efluentes industriais / Developing an electrical power system of a mobile electron beam accelerator to treatment of industrial wastewaters and effluents

Gaspar, Renato Rache 27 September 2018 (has links)
O tratamento de águas residuárias e efluentes industriais por irradiação com feixe de elétrons é uma técnica promissora, porém pouco difundida em território Brasileiro. O projeto e a construção de uma unidade móvel contendo um acelerador industrial de elétrons de 700 keV e 20 kW, pelo Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares (IPEN), é inovador para demonstrar os efeitos e resultados positivos dessa tecnologia. O propósito é deslocar a unidade móvel às diversas empresas com interesse em tratamento dos resíduos líquidos, conectar-se ao sistema elétrico da mesma e iniciar o processo de tratamento por ionização, por meio da irradiação com feixe de elétrons. A conexão da unidade móvel ao sistema elétrico local pode representar um desafio, pela grande diversidade de tensões e distâncias envolvidas, e também pelas grandes injeções de conteúdo harmônico gerado pelo acelerador de elétron que podem afetar as cargas do sistema industrial, comumente sensíveis. Neste trabalho realizou-se uma análise do sistema de potência da unidade móvel, quanto à capacidade de interrupção, seletividade da proteção e níveis de curto-circuito adequados de forma a assegurar uma maior confiabilidade na operação. Ao final, projetou-se e construiu-se o painel elétrico de controle da unidade móvel de irradiação. Além disso, na obtenção de parâmetros operacionais à unidade móvel, realizaram-se simulações e medições no acelerador industrial de elétrons de 1,5 MeV e 37,5 kW, instalado no Laboratório de Fontes Intensas de Radiação, do Centro de Tecnologia das Radiações, as quais demonstraram a necessidade da inserção de um filtro para redução dos índices de distorção nos harmônicos dessa instalação radiativa fixa no IPEN. / The treatment of wastewater and industrial effluents by electron beam irradiation is a promising technique, however, not very widespread in Brazilian territory. The design and a construction of a mobile unit containing an electron beam accelerator of 700 KeV and 20kW, by the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN) is innovative to demonstrate the effects and positive results of this technology. The aim is to move the mobile unit to several companies with interest in liquid waste treatment, and connect to the industry electrical system and start the ionization treatment process through electron beam. The mobile unit\'s connection to the local electrical system can be a challenge in behalf of the great diversity of voltages and distances involved, as well as the large injections of harmonic content generated by the electron beam accelerator that can affect sensitive loads in the industrial system. In this work, an analysis was made of the power system of the mobile unit, regarding interruption capacity, selectivity protection and adequate short circuit levels in order to assure a greater reliability in the operation. At the end, the control panel of the mobile unit, simulations and measurements were carried out at the 1.5 MeV and 37.5 kW electron beam accelerator, installed at the Intensive Radiation Technology Center, which demonstrated the necessity of applying of a filter to reduce the measured harmonic distortion.

Modifications de l’amplitude du réflexe de l’oreille moyenne après inhalation de solvant. Conséquences physiologiques pour les expositions au bruit / Alterations in the amplitude of acoustic middle-ear reflex after inhalation solvent. Physiological consequences for exposure to noise

Wathier, Ludivine 16 December 2016 (has links)
Le réflexe de l’oreille moyenne (ROM) diminue l’énergie acoustique portée par les bruits riches en basses fréquences et de fortes intensités qui pénètrent dans la cochlée. Son déclenchement bilatéral permet ainsi de protéger la cochlée. La perturbation de ce réflexe par des solvants peut accroître les effets cochléo-traumatisants du bruit, notamment chez les salariés du secteur industriel, où bruit et solvant sont souvent associés. L’objectif principal de ces travaux était d’élaborer un test de criblage capable d’identifier les substances volatiles susceptibles de modifier le réflexe. De plus, le choix des solvants nous a permis d’étudier le mode d’action des solvants sur les neurones impliqués dans l’arc réflexe. Pour cela, des rats Brown Norway anesthésiés ont été exposés par inhalation aux solvants aromatiques choisis selon leur lipophilie (log Kow) et/ou selon leur structure. L’amplitude du ROM a été déterminée grâce à la mesure de l’intensité du produit de distorsion acoustique. Les résultats montrent que les effets des solvants sur le ROM sont conditionnés par les paramètres stéréospécifiques des molécules et non par leur lipophilie. Par ailleurs, l’analyse RMN des microsomes de cerveaux de rats confirme que le toluène n’influence pas la fluidité membranaire. En conclusion, le ROM est un bon outil pour détecter des substances dangereuses pour l’audition en cas de co-exposition avec du bruit. De plus, nous pouvons dire que les solvants aromatiques ont une action neuropharmacologique et/ou cochléotoxique qui peuvent retentir de façon distincte sur l’audition des sujets co-exposés au bruit et à des solvants. / The middle-ear reflex (MER) reduces acoustic energy carried by the high intensity noises rich in low frequencies at entering the cochlea. His bilateral trigger thus protects the cochlea. Disruption of this reflex by solvents can increase cochleo-traumatic effects of noise, especially among industrial workers, where noise and solvent are often associated. The main objective of this work was to develop a screening test capable of identifying the volatile substances that could modify the reflex. Moreover, the choice of solvents allowed us to study the mode of action of solvents on the neurons involved in the reflex circuit. For this purpose, Brown Norway rats were anesthetized and then exposed to aromatic solvents selected according to their lipophilicity (log Kow) and/or their structure. The amplitude of the MER is determined by measuring cubic distortion product oto-acoustic emissions. For that, aromatic solvents appear to act directly on the neuronal targets involved in the acoustic reflex circuit, rather than on membrane fluidity. The affinity of this interaction is determined by stereospecific parameters rather than lipophilocity. Additionally, NMR spectra for brain microsomes confirmed that brain lipid fluidity was unaffected by toluene exposure. In conclusion, the MER can be used to detect hazardous volatiles substances for the hearing when co-exposed to noise. Moreover, this study revealed that aromatic solvents have a neuropharmacological and/or cochleotoxic action that can act separately on the hearing of workers exposed to noise and solvents simultaneously.

Essays on incongruent preferences for effort allocations in multi-task agency relations

Thiele, Veikko 21 July 2006 (has links)
Die Dissertation enthält drei Aufsätze, welche sich mit Prinzipal-Agenten Beziehungen in Verbindung mit moralischem Risiko beschäftigen. Dabei ist der Agent für die Ausführung von multiplen Aufgaben (Multitasking) verantwortlich. In dem ersten Aufsatz wird ein Prinzipal-Agenten Modell analysiert, wobei angenommen wird, dass der Agent unterschiedliche Fähigkeiten für die Ausführung der einzelnen Aufgaben aufweist. Dabei werden die durch die Anwendung von inkongruenten Leistungsmaßen in Anreizverträgen resultierenden Ineffizienzen in Abhängigkeit von den aufgabenspezifischen Fähigkeiten des Agenten identifiziert und analysiert. Zusätzlich wird auf die optimale Aggregation von multiplen Leistungsmaßen sowie auf die adverse Selektion von heterogenen Agenten eingegangen. Der zweite Aufsatz betrachtet ein Prinzipal-Agenten Modell mit einem risikoneutralen und haftungsbeschränkten Agenten. Dieser Aufsatz analysiert die Generierung von zusätzlichen Leistungsmaßen mit dem Ziel, die Effizienz der multidimensionalen Arbeitsanstrengung des Agenten zu erhöhen. Es werden dabei zwei Alternativen für den Prinzipal verglichen: (i) zentral in die Leistungsmessung des Agenten zu investieren, oder (ii), diese Aufgabe an einem Vorgesetzten (Supervisor) des Agenten zu delegieren. Der dritte Aufsatz analysiert inkongruente Präferenzen zwischen verschiedenen Unternehmen bezüglich der Eigenschaften der zwischen ihnen ausgetauschten Güter als mögliche Ineffizienz von Markttransaktionen. Der Aufsatz berücksichtigt darüber hinaus die Möglichkeit von kollusivem Verhalten innerhalb von Unternehmen als mögliche Ineffizienz von integrierten Produktionen. Dabei erfolgt eine Untersuchung der Auswirkungen dieser Ineffizienzen hinsichtlich (i) der Entscheidung von Unternehmen, erforderliche Transaktionen intern zu organisieren, oder hierfür den Markt in Anspruch zu nehmen, und (ii), der sich daraus ergebenden Eigenschaften der vertraglichen Vereinbarungen innerhalb und zwischen Unternehmen. / This thesis comprises three self-contained essays that deal with inefficient effort allocations in multi-task agency relations with moral hazard. The first essay analyzes a multi-task agency framework where the agent exhibits task-specific abilities. It investigates the appendant inefficiencies of applying incongruent performance measures in incentive contracts. Additionally, this essay elaborates on the optimal aggregation of multiple performance measures, and on the optimal selection of heterogeneous agents. The second essay considers a multi-task agency model with a risk-neutral and financially constrained agent. It investigates the costly acquisition of information aimed at improving the agent''s performance evaluation, and therefore, the efficiency of her effort allocation. This essay contrasts two alternatives for the principal: (i) to centrally invest in the information acquisition; or (ii), to delegate this task to a supervisor. The third essay analyzes incongruent preferences between firms for the characteristics of exchanged goods as an inefficiency of mutual market transactions, and collusive behavior within firms as an inefficiency of integrated productions. This essay investigates the consequences of both inefficiencies on (i) firms'' decision on whether to integrate transactions or to utilize the market; and (ii), the properties of contractual arrangements within and between firms.

Luís Fernando Moreira Machado 19 May 2017 (has links)
A utilização da energia eólica é ainda recente no setor elétrico e, por isso, apresenta inúmeros desafios na operação e integração dessa nova tecnologia com o sistema elétrico. Desta forma, este trabalho aborda o impacto da injeção de correntes harmônicas que as Centrais de Geração Eólica geram no Sistema Interligado Nacional. Inicialmente, aborda-se a fundamentação teórica e o conceito básico da energia eólica, principalmente em relação ao panorama desta fonte renovável no Brasil e no mundo e, de uma forma sucinta, aborda-se também sobre o aspecto tecnológico dos aerogeradores. Outro aspecto relevante deste trabalho, é o levantamento do estado da arte sobre os conceitos e cálculos das distorções harmônicas, bem como sobre o processo de integração das novas Centrais de Geração Eólica à rede básica. O principal resultado obtido neste trabalho, é o estudo de sensibilidade da distorção harmônica de tensão, no ponto de acoplamento da Central à rede básica de transmissão, frente à variação topológica da rede coletora da Central de Geração Eólica. Para tal estudo, foi modelada uma Central de Geração Eólica e aplicadas as metodologias estudadas no estado da arte. Os resultados obtidos do estudo de sensibilidade, é de grande interesse para os operadores da rede e transmissão de energia elétrica, bem como às geradoras de energia eólica. / The use of wind energy is still recent in the electric sector and, therefore, presents numerous challenges in the operation and integration of this new technology with the electric system. In this way, this work approaches the impact of the injection of harmonic currents generated by the Wind Generation Plants in the National Interconnected System. Initially, it addresses the theoretical basis and the basic concept of wind energy, mainly in relation to the panorama of this renewable source in Brazil and in the world and, briefly, it also addresses the technological aspect of wind turbines. Another relevant aspect of this work is the state of the art survey on the concepts and calculations of harmonic distortions, as well as on the integration process of the new Wind Generation Plants into the basic grid. The main result obtained in this work is the sensitivity study of the harmonic distortion of voltage at the coupling point of the Central to the basic transmission network, in front of the topological variation of the collecting network of the Wind Generation Plant. For such study, a Wind Generation Plant was modeled and the methodologies studied in the state of the art were applied. The results obtained from the sensitivity study, is of great interest to the network operators and transmission of electricity, as well as to wind power generators.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Vania Hanum.pdf: 1923336 bytes, checksum: 5f3f7a65ff5bdea570ac7803f105ae8e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-05-30 / This study approaches the implantation aspects of the Fastening Learning Program in the city of Rio Verde (GO), especially in relation to proposed pedagogical goals and the reached results. This Program began in 1997, by an initiative of the Brazilian Education Ministry, aiming to implant organizational, curricular and pedagogical measures to correct distortions in the scholar float of 5th and 6th year students from Elementary School. The Program done in Rio Verde came from a project planned by the Center of Studies and Researches in Education, Culture and Communitary Action (Cenpec), which consisted on serving these students in Fastening classes in a two-year period. The goal of the research was to verify the effectiveness of the goals done of this project, which one, although it seemed political and pedagogical suitable, showed signs that it was not reaching its goals, in face of the difficulties in organizing the teaching contents and methodology, the students were distant in relation to proposal, the not appropriate evaluation practices, and others. The interest in analyzing the proposal was to check if students from Fastening classes and established again to the regular teaching showed compatible performance in relation to other students, if they were attending classes or, because of other reasons, have quit school. To do this research were used as procedures: analysis of official documents and interviews with students, school leaders and teachers. The data analyses shows a considerable distance between the proclaimed goals and the done ones, showing to the responsible for the direction of this Program the need of rethinking their goals and pedagogical and didactic procedures. / Este estudo aborda aspectos da implantação do Programa de Aceleração da Aprendizagem na cidade de Rio Verde (GO), especialmente em relação aos objetivos pedagógicos propostos e aos resultados alcançados. Esse Programa foi iniciado em 1997, por iniciativa do Ministério da Educação do Brasil, com a finalidade de implantar medidas organizacionais, curriculares e pedagógicas para correção das distorções do fluxo escolar de alunos de 5ª a 6ª séries do Ensino Fundamental. O Programa realizado em Rio Verde decorreu de projeto elaborado pelo Centro de Estudos e Pesquisas em Educação, Cultura e Ação Comunitária (Cenpec), que consistia em atender esses alunos em classes de Aceleração num período de dois anos. A finalidade da pesquisa foi verificar a efetividade da realização dos objetivos desse projeto o qual, por mais que parecesse ser política e pedagogicamente adequado, apresentava sinais de que não estava atingindo seus objetivos, tais como as dificuldades na organização dos conteúdos e metodologia de ensino, o distanciamento dos alunos em relação à proposta, a inadequação das práticas de avaliação, entre outros. O interesse em analisar a proposta foi verificar se os alunos egressos das classes de Aceleração e reintegrados ao ensino regular apresentavam desempenho compatível ao dos demais alunos, se continuavam freqüentando as aulas ou se, por um ou outro motivo, haviam abandonado a escola. Para a realização da pesquisa foram utilizados como procedimentos: análise de documentos oficiais e entrevistas com alunos, dirigentes escolares e professores. A análise dos dados mostrou um considerável distanciamento entre os objetivos proclamados e os realizados, levando a indicar aos responsáveis pela gestão desse Programa a necessidade de repensar seus objetivos e seus procedimentos pedagógico-didáticos.
