The aim of this semester project is to design a suitable database structure for the audio-visual data, parts extracted from the data corresponding to secondary biometric and non-biometric characteristics and description of these characters. The resulting database will be used for research into the identification of audio-visual content of multimedia data.

Foram amostradas 41 árvores matrizes no município de Jaboticabal, SP. Para a análise biométrica avaliou-se a massa fresca de frutos e sementes, o comprimento e o diâmetro dos frutos. O teste de germinação foi conduzido a 30 ºC, sobre duas folhas de papel mata-borrão e fotoperíodo de 8 h. O teste de envelhecimento acelerado foi conduzido a 45 ºC por 96 h e o teste de condutividade elétrica foi conduzido a 25 ºC por 24 h. O delineamento estatístico foi o de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições por tratamento, e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Scott-Knott (P 0,05). Para a análise molecular, realizou-se o bandeamento produzido por cada “primer”, conferindo o parâmetro “1” para a presença e “0” para a ausência de banda.

For biometric characterization, the fresh weight fruits and seeds, length and diameter of fruits were determined. The germination test was carried out two sheets of blotting paper, under temperature of 30 °C and a photoperiod of 8 hours. The accelerated aging test was conducted under temperature of 45 °C for 96 hours, and the electrical conductivity test was conducted under temperature of 25 °C for 24 hours. The statistical analysis was randomized block design with four replications per treatment, and means were compared by Scott-Knott test (P < 0,05). For molecular analysis, were carried banding produced by primers, giving indice “1” for presence and “0” for band absence. The genetic divergence among mother trees was measured by Tocher and UPGMA methods for seeds and fruits traits, and UPGMA method for molecular analysis. There is great variation among traits evaluated; the germination and accelerated aging tests show evidence variability in physiological quality seeds from different mother trees; the electrical conductivity test is not useful for distinguishing the mother trees regarding the physiological quality seeds; the molecular analysis was efficient to cluster different mother trees; there is no relation between mother trees grouping by different methods, and, the combination between methods information, will be useful in the genetic potential maximization of evaluated germplasm; recommended to collect seeds largest possible number of mother trees to ensure representation of genetic variability

E-crimes continue to generate grave challenges to the ICT regulatory agenda. Because e-crimes involve a wrongful appropriation of information online, it is enquired whether information is property which is capable of being stolen. This then requires an investigation to be made of the law of property. The basis for this scrutiny is to establish if information is property for purposes of the law. Following a study of the Roman-Dutch law approach to property, it is argued that the emergence of an information society makes real rights in information possible. This is the position because information is one of the indispensable assets of an information society. Given the fact that information can be the object of property, its position in the law of theft is investigated. This study is followed by an examination of the conventional risks that ICTs generate. For example, a risk exists that ICTs may be used as the object of e-crimes. Furthermore, there is a risk that ICTs may become a tool in order to appropriate information unlawfully. Accordingly, the scale and impact of e-crimes is more than those of the offline crimes, for example theft or fraud. The severe challenges that ICTs pose to an information society are likely to continue if clarity is not sought regarding: whether ICTs can be regulated or not, if ICTs can be regulated, how should an ICT regulatory framework be structured? A study of the law and regulation for regulatory purposes reveals that ICTs are spheres where regulations apply or should apply. However, better regulations are appropriate in dealing with the dynamics of these technologies. Smart-regulations, meta-regulations or reflexive regulations, self-regulations and co-regulations are concepts that support better regulations. Better regulations enjoin the regulatory industries, for example the state, businesses and computer users to be involved in establishing ICT regulations. These ICT regulations should specifically be in keeping with the existing e-authentication measures. Furthermore, the codes-based theory, the Danger or Artificial Immune Systems (the AIS) theory, the Systems theory and the Good Regulator Theorem ought to inform ICT regulations. The basis for all this should be to establish a holistic approach to e-authentication. This approach must conform to the Precautionary Approach to E-Authentication or PAEA. PAEA accepts the importance of legal rules in the ICT regulatory agenda. However, it argues that flexible regulations could provide a suitable framework within which ICTs and the ICT risks are controlled. In addition, PAEA submit that a state should not be the single role-player in ICT regulations. Social norms, the market and nature or architecture of the technology to be regulated are also fundamental to the ICT regulatory agenda. / Jurisprudence / LL. D.
