O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a influência das características de três tipos de mochila através de parâmetros biomecânicos e fisiológicos selecionados. Foram voluntários 49 carteiros (30±7 anos, 1,74±0,62 m e 72,6±11,8 kg), que utilizaram 3 tipos de mochilas: mochila lateral simples (MLS), mochila lateral com cinto pélvico (MLCP) e mochila dupla com cinto pélvico (MDCP). Os sujeitos andaram durante 10 minutos sobre esteira rolante Trotter instrumentada com duas plataformas de força de reação do solo Kistler, utilizando um analisador de gases que analisou os gases expirados. As variáveis cinéticas da locomoção apresentaram diferenças significativas entre as mochilas. As variáveis cinemáticas não mostraram diferenças significativas. A ventilação apresentou diferenças entre MLCP (23,2±5,4 L · min-1) e MLS (22,5±5,0 L · min-1) e MDCP (22,3±4,8 L · min-1) e o consumo de oxigênio apresentou diferenças entre MDCP (14,6±4,1 mL · kg-1 · min-1) e MLS (15,1±3,6 mL · kg-1 · min-1) e MLCP (15,2±4,3 mL · kg-1 · min-1). Os dados dinâmicos apontaram para benefícios do uso da MLS, e os dados fisiológicos apontaram para benefícios do uso da MDCP. Embora os dados tenham apresentado diferenças estatísticas, estas não foram de magnitudes representativas, assim, a MDCP parece induzir maior demanda metabólica e a MLS menor estresse físico. / The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the satchel construction characteristics in selected biomechanical and physiological parameters during the accomplishment of the locomotion of mailmen pedestrians. 49 mailmen had been voluntary (30±7 years, 1.74±0.62 m and 72.6±11.8 kg), which had used 3 types of satchels, simple lateral satchel (MLS), lateral satchel with pelvic belt (MLCP) and double satchel with pelvic belt (MDCP). The subjects had walked 10 minutes on Trotter treadmill instrumented with two Kistler force platforms, using a gas analyzer that made analyzes of the exhaled gases. Fy1 presented differences between MLS (1.35±0.10) and MLCP (1.37±0.11) and MDCP (1.37±0.10), like others FRS parameters. The step and strike lengths had not been sensible to the different satchels. The VE presented differences between MLCP (23.2±5.4 L · min-1) and MLS (22.5± 5.0 L · min-1) and MDCP (22.7±4.8 L · min-1) and the VO2, presented differences between MDCP (14.6± .1 mL · kg-1 · min-1) and MLS (15.1±3. 6 mL · kg-1 · min-1) and MLCP (15.2±4.3 mL · kg-1 · min-1). The dynamic data had pointed to benefits using MLS, but the physiological data had indicated to benefits using MDCP. Although the data have presented statistical differences, but these had not been representative magnitudes, thus, the MDCP seems to induce bigger metabolic demand and MLS the lesser physical stress.

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo da literatura pertinente sobre qualidade da energia elétrica. O estudo apresentado está baseado na evolução do tema em nível nacional e internacional, buscando explicar o conceito dos principais fenômenos e selecionar as recentes resoluções e normas que regem os princípios de medição e os limites dos distúrbios eletromagnéticos que os caracterizam. As normas da IEC foram selecionadas para a aplicação na construção de um protótipo de um medidor de qualidade da energia elétrica, onde o princípio construtivo é o de instrumento virtual por sua flexibilidade de arquitetura. A implementação do protótipo dá-se em um microcomputador padrão de mercado pelo software LabVIEW, através de vários módulos independentes para cada distúrbio a ser medido. Os resultados numéricos das simulações executadas frente a cada distúrbio, gerando comparações entre valores aplicados e valores medidos são apresentados em forma de tabelas com seus respectivos erros percentuais para cada grandeza de cada módulo. / This dissertation presents a study of existing literature about power quality. The study presented is based on a theme evolution in national and international environment, trying to explain the main phenomenon conceptions and select the most recent standards that rule the measurement conceptions and the electromagnetic disturbances limits that characterize it. The IEC standard were selected to build a prototype of a power quality measure device where the construction conception is a virtual instrument because it has a flexible architecture. The prototype implementation was made from a common computer by the LabVIEW software through some independent modules for each disturbance to be measured. The numerical results of executed simulations of each disturbance generating comparisons between applied values and measured values are presented as tables within their percentage error for each phenomenon of each module.

This thesis deals with an unconventional possibility of measuring photometric values and the work is based on analysis of luminance made by commercially available digital photo camera. In the first part is represent an overview of current methods for measuring the photometry. You also can see the basic photometric values and required instrumentation needed to measure them. The focus of the work is concentrated on the description of the problems associated with setting the correct luminance of digital photography. It describes the dependency and correction procedures for calculating fixed luminance ratios of the individual images. The last part of this thesis is devoted to the possible use in practice, especially in the analysis of luminance of objects, luminaires and light sources. It also deals with an alternative description of luminaire and light sources to replace the luminous intensity curve etc.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the viscoelastic properties of current large digital storage magnetic tape materials, using a custom ultra-low frequency dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). Through the correlated effects of frequency and temperature, the long term mechanical properties of the magnetic tape can be simulated and used for predictive analysis of long term storage quality and stability of each individual tape given applicable storage conditions. Two magnetic tapes of primary interest reviewed in this paper are both current leading high capacity tapes, one having a poly(ethylene naphthalate) or PEN substrate and the other an aromatic polyamide or ARAMID substrate. The phase angle between the two signals and the peak strain based elastic modulus (E) were then used to determine the storage modulus (E'), loss modulus (E"), and the loss tangent (tan 8). These viscoelastic characteristics of the material were determined for each individual experimental sample. The combined data was then used to create comparative plots of each sample type allowing for a more conclusive look at the magnetic tape properties under the given conditions. It is found that viscoelastic deformation, or energy loss in the material, increasingly occurs at low frequencies. These experiments also verify that viscoelastic loss also occurs due to molecular orientation and can have a large impact on results. A final comparison is also made between the two leading tape materials commonly used in industry currently by taking a direct look at relative loss in conjunction with the materials overall complex elastic modulus. This allows a more definitive strength comparison of the defined materials · under given conditions.
