Reflectarray antennas are reflector structures which combine characteristics of both reflector and array antennas. They exhibit electrically large apertures in order to generate significant gain as conventional metallic reflector antennas. At the same time they are populated by several radiating elements which can be controlled individually like conventional phased array antennas. They are usually flat and can be folded and deployed permitting important saving in terms of volume. For these reasons they have been considered since several years for satellite applications. Initially constituted by truncated metallic waveguides and mainly considered for radar applications, they are now mainly constituted by a dielectric substrate, backed by a metallic plane (groundplane) on which microstrip elements with variable shape/size/orientation are printed. These elements are illuminated by the primary feed. The reflected wave from each element has a phase that can be controlled by the geometry of the element itself. By a suitable design of the elements that make up the reflectarray, it is therefore possible to compose the phase front of the reflected waves in the desired direction (steering direction), and to ensure that the obtained overall radiation pattern exhibits a secondary lobe profile which meets the design specifications. Reflectarrays may be used to synthesize pencil or shaped beams. The synthesis methods commonly used to achieve this goal are based on three different steps: (a) calculation of the nearfield “phase distribution” that the wave reflected by the reflectarray must exhibit to get the desired far-field behaviour; (b) discretization of such distribution into cells of size comparable to that of the elements of interest (i.e., the patches); (c) calculation of the geometry of each elementary cell that will provide the desired reflection coefficient. The first step (a) is a Phase Only approach and permits already to achieve fast preliminary indications on the performance achievable. Accurate results require the implementation of the steps (b) and (c) as well and it is thus of fundamental importance to have techniques capable of efficiently and accurately calculating the reflection coefficient associated with a given geometry of the element [in order to efficiently solve the step (c)]. This coefficient is mathematically represented by a 2x2 complex matrix, which takes into account the relationships between co-polar and cross-polar components of the incident (due to the feed) and reflected field. This matrix naturally depends on the geometry of the element, the direction of incidence of the wave (azimuth and elevation) and the operating frequency of the system. The computation of the reflection coefficient is usually performed using electromagnetic full-wave (FW) simulators; the computation is however time consuming and the generation of the unit cells scattering response database becomes often unfeasible. In this work, an innovative strategy based on an advanced statistical learning method is introduced to efficiently and accurately predict the electromagnetic response of complex-shaped reflectarray elements. The computation of the scattering coefficients of periodic arrangements, characterized by an arbitrary number of degrees-of-freedom, is firstly recast as a vectorial regression problem, then solved with a learning-by-example strategy exploiting the Ordinary Kriging paradigm. A set of representative numerical experiments dealing with different element geometries is presented to assess the accuracy, the computational efficiency, and the flexibility of the proposed technique also in comparison with state-of-the-art machine learning methods.

Understanding the different igneous processes that magmas undergo is important for a variety of reasons including potential hazards associated with volcanoes in populated regions, magmatic hydrothermal ore deposition, and tectonic processes. One method of obtaining geochemical data that can help constrain petrogenetic processes is through the study of melt and fluid inclusions. The research presented here examines melt inclusions through experimental, analytical and field studies to better understand igneous petrogenesis. One potential problem associated with melt inclusions is water-loss during laboratory heating. A Raman spectroscopic technique was developed to determine water contents of silicate glasses, and this technique was applied to monitor water loss from natural melt inclusions that were heated for varying lengths of time. The results suggest that water loss is insignificant when heated for less than 12 hours but significant water loss can occur with longer duration heating. The distribution of trace elements between silicate melts and phenocrysts growing from that melt can constrain igneous processes such as fractional crystallization, assimilation, and partial melting. Partition coefficients were determined for syngenetic clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, and plagioclase in equilibrium with a dacitic melt using the Melt Inclusion-Mineral (MIM) technique. Melt inclusion chemistry is the same regardless of mineral host phase, suggesting that the melt inclusions have not been subjected to re-equilibration processes or boundary layer development. Partition coefficients from this study are similar but typically lower than published values. Three closely-spaced monogenetic eruptive units from the active Campi Flegrei volcanic system (Italy) with similar eruptive styles were examined to better understand the evolution of the magmatic system. Results suggest fractional crystallization as the dominant process taking place over time but that magma mixing was significant for one of the eruptions. Trace element geochemical data suggest a mixed magma source of within-plate and volcanic arc components, and still retain a T-MORB signature from the subducting slab. / Ph. D.

Clear at the same time in that the present governmental increases a political structure of the supply and expansion of that level of education, they intensify the continuities of the neoliberal policy of subordination to the international interests, and non breaks of the game of the interests of the governors in them dominated. / A partir do entendimento da idéia e concepção de universidade até a universidade dos anos 1990, como resultado de lutas, conflitos de pensamento e das políticas que perpassaram décadas na história da educação brasileira, o presente trabalho buscou mostrar, de forma geral, quais são as políticas públicas para a educação superior no governo Lula, a partir de dados analisados das publicações do Ministério da Educação para esse nível de ensino, de onde foram selecionados seis documentos para a abordagem do tema discutido, e ntre eles, o Plano Nacional de Educação Brasileiro, aprovado no governo Fernando Henrique Cardoso por meio da Lei nº. 10.172/2001, e o Anteprojeto de Lei da Reforma Universitária, que remonta um trâmite iniciado em 2003 e que vai até o encaminhamento da 4ª versão ao Congresso Nacional, no mês de julho de 2006, transformando -se no Projeto de Lei nº 7.200/2006, cujas implementações ocorreram na forma de políticas e programas para a educação superior e que são resultantes não somente de determinações do Antepr ojeto de Reforma Universitária, mas também do Plano Nacional de Educação, originado da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional nº 9.394/96. Os impactos das políticas do atual governo indicam, principalmente, para a expansão da educação superior, não somente com a criação de novas universidades públicas e de vários campi pelo Brasil, como os cinco da Universidade Federal do Amazonas, com 30 cursos, mas também pela ampliação de vagas públicas não-estatais nas instituições privadas, verificada através d o Programa Universidade para Todos (ProUni). Ficou claro que, ao mesmo tempo em que o governo atual remonta uma estrutura política da oferta e expansão desse nível de ensino, intensificam -se as continuidades das políticas neoliberais de subordinação aos in teresses internacionais e a não-ruptura do jogo de interesses dos dominadores sobre os dominados.

As prominent components of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) front-end, sensors capable of intelligently collecting sensing information from the surrounding environment with increasingly lower prices are required. Planar microwave chipless sensors could be a valid solution and will be the focus of this PhD research proposal. With a completely passive solution, that in its basic configuration is composed by only microstrip resonant structures and sensitive materials, this frequency-domain sensing technology results particularly adapt for the integration in smart devices. The objectives of the PhD activity will be to contribute with a further investigation of sensitive materials in the context of environmental monitoring and to test their reliability as sensitive components in controlled wired condition. The purpose is, then, to move from a wired controlled measurement to a wireless reading acquisition of the microwave sensing node response. Finally, the sensor potentialities will be further enriched by adopting fabrication techniques typical of the flexible electronics field. An inkjet printing strategy is investigated for the purpose trying to ensure good detection properties as in the case of standard fabricated tags.

Des observations macroscopiques et microscopiques sur les plantes actuelles et fossiles ont été effectuées. Sur les plantes actuelles ont été effectué des observations relativement aux effets des gaz volcaniques sur l’ultrastructure des cuticules de Pinus halepensis et de Erica arborea récoltés dans l’aire volcanique des Campi Flegrei, Italie. Les observations conduites au TEM sur les cuticules de P. halepensis, influencé et non influencé par les gaz volcaniques, ont montré que : 1) l'épaisseur totale de la CM (cuticule) + CW (paroi pectocellulosique) ne subit pas de variations significatives d'épaisseur ; 2) la cuticule des aiguilles influencée par les gaz volcaniques montre une accumulation d’oxalate de calcium ainsi que 3) un réarrangement des fibrilles disposées parallèlement à la surface. Les observations conduites sur E. arborea ont permis de 1) constater que les épaisseurs totales des cuticules, influencées ou non par les gaz, sont significativement différentes ; 2) en présence de gaz volcaniques la couche externe A2 subit un accroissement d’épaisseur significatif. Par rapport aux macro-restes végétaux fossiles, les localités du Crétacé de Cusano Mutri et Pietraroja ont été étudiées. Le première site fossilifère a permis 1) d’identifier plusieurs taxa appartenant aux conifères; 2) de décrire une nouvelle espèce de conifère: Frenelopsis cusanensis; 3) de trouver l’angiosperme ancestrale Montsechia vidalii. L’étude taxonomique a permis de décrire des entités typiques de la Province Euro-Sinienne. L’étude sédimentologique et systématique montre un climat plutôt tropical-subtropical, des abondants fusains montrant des incendies naturels. / Macroscopical and microscopical observations on extant and fossil plants have been made. Observations on extant plants led to study the effects of volcanic gases on the cuticle ultrastructure of Pinus halepensis and Erica arborea sampled in the volcanic area of Phlegrean Italy. TEM observations on P. halepensis cuticles fumigated or not by volcanic gases revealed: 1) insignificant thickness variations of the cell wall plus cuticle among current- and first-year-old needles of both fumigated and not fumigated trees; 2) a calcium oxalate accumulation in fumigated leaves; 3) moreover, in respect to the cell surface, fibrils are disposed parallel to the surface of the cuticle. In specimens of E. arborea fumigated or not by volcanic gases, 1) the total thickness of cuticles varies significantly; 2) in plants experiencing chronic fumigation the A2 layer increases its thickness. As for fossil plants, the cuticles of Cretaceous Fossil-Lagertätten of Cusano Mutri and Pietraroja have been studied. In the former: 1) numerous taxa belonging to conifers have been identified; 2) the new species Frenelopsis cusanensis has been described; 3) Montsechia vidalii has been found outside of Spain. Taxonomical studies allowed the description of typical Euro-Sinian fossil plants. Sedimentological and taxonomical studies suggest semi-arid or arid conditions in a subtropical or tropical climate. It is worth noting as for Cusano Mutri locality, evidence of wildfire (fusain) suggests a periodic combination of arid periods, high temperatures and lightning strikes.

The dissertation evaluated the formal, stylistic and contextual analysis of the painting oeuvre of the Cremonese native Antonio Campi. Monographic elaboration of Campi's oeuvre complement to the existing range of syntheses a number of information that has been in the literature so far omitted. The work assessed Antonio's oeuvre on the revision of archival material preserved in Milanese and Cremonese state and church archives, as well as by the means of thorough study of the secondary literature. Chronology of Campi's production was based on the stylistic and formal analysis and at the same time it has been enriched by a number of comparisons of the Lombardy-Ligurian region. Perspective at Antonio's oeuvre was accompanied by drawings and panel paintings that have emerged in the art market in recent years. With this thorough analysis, it became clear that the simple definition of an older Italian scientific literature that had Antonio Campi understood as a painter, who by his work formed the basis of Caravaggio chiaroscuro approach in the last decades of the 16th century and in the early years of the 17th age, proved to be inaccurate. It became clear that with this view we can not identify ourselves any more. Constant changes in mood, surprise, unpredictability, restlessness and individuality, the...

O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar barreiras, motivações e estratégias que apresentam potencial para promover a mobilidade sustentável de alunos de graduação, pós-graduação, servidores técnico- administrativos e servidores docentes no campus da Universidade de São Paulo em São Carlos. O método utilizado para atingir o objetivo foi dividido em três etapas: i. desenvolvimento de ferramenta para coleta de dados; ii. análise dos dados por meio do modelo transteórico de mudança comportamental; iii. análise de estratégias visando a mobilidade sustentável. O questionário on-line desenvolvido e aplicado para o estudo forneceu uma taxa de resposta robusta e bem distribuída dos principais usuários do campus (25,5% da população do campus total). Percentagens consideráveis de usuários em todos os grupos investigados manifestaram a intenção de mudar para outro modo de transporte. Entre aqueles que mudariam para modos de transporte sustentáveis, 27,1% mudariam para o modo a pé, enquanto que 46,2% mudariam para o modo bicicleta. No entanto, 13,6% dos entrevistados declararam que mudariam para o automóvel, o que representa uma demanda adicional de cerca de 300 lugares de estacionamento no campus. Em relação às barreiras para a adoção de modos de transporte sustentáveis, a posse de um veículo motorizado foi o principal obstáculo identificado (independentemente do modo a ser adotado como uma alternativa). Duas alternativas foram classificadas como as melhores estratégias para promoção da mobilidade sustentável no contexto estudado: a construção de ciclovias que ligam o campus com a rede viária urbana e estacionamento para bicicletas dentro do campus. Uma avaliação adicional da primeira alternativa demonstrou significativo potencial para servir a usuários de vários modos de transporte, com grande impacto positivo sobre o modo a pé. Outra estratégia também testada foi a abertura de novos pontos de acesso para pedestres no campus. Estimou-se que sua implantação resultaria em uma redução de 20% nas distâncias de viagem a pé dos alunos. / The objective of this study was to investigate barriers, motivators and strategies with potential to promote sustainable mobility for graduate and undergraduate students, staff and faculty at the campus of the University of São Paulo at São Carlos. The method used to reach the objective had three steps: i. development of a data collection tool; ii. analysis of the data with the transtheoretical model of behavior change; iii. analysis of strategies aiming at sustainable mobility. The online questionnaire developed and applied for the study provided a robust and well-distributed response rate of the main users (25.5% of the total campus population). Considerable percentages of users in all groups investigated have declared that would eventually change to another travel mode. Among those who would change to sustainable modes, 27.1% would change to the walking mode, whereas 46.2% would change to the cycling mode. However, 13.6% of the respondents declared they would change to the automobile, what represents an additional demand of approximately 300 parking spaces in the campus. Regarding the barriers to the adoption of sustainable modes, owning a motorized vehicle was identified as the main obstacle (regardless of the mode to be adopted as an alternative). Two alternatives have been rated as the best strategies for promoting sustainable mobility in the studied context: the construction of cycling paths connecting the campus with the urban street network and parking facilities for bicycles within the campus. An additional evaluation of the first alternative has shown a significant potential to serve users of several transport modes, with a large positive impact on pedestrians. Another strategy also tested was the opening of new access points to pedestrians in the campus. This strategy could reduce the total walking distance travelled by the students in 20%.

In the field of Higher Education in Brazil, it is no different. Since the publication of Law No. 10,861 of April 14, 2004, which established the National System for the Evaluation of Higher Education (SINAES), evaluation is one of the instruments capable of measuring the level at which courses need to be improved. Since the SINAES has two external evaluations and an internal and permanent one called Institutional Self-Assessment (AI), the system seeks to identify, in its three large dimensions, didactic-pedagogical organization, infrastructure and faculty and tutorial, aspects that need to be improved in the courses and in the Higher education institutions (HEIs). AI is recurring in academia, but what remains to know is whether its results provide the expected changes in real time. The exploratory study of two cases studied here analyzes the IIA of two IFCE campuses, aiming at knowing the institutional self-assessment of a Higher Education institution, the IFCE, from the perspectives of students, technicians and teachers, in order to verify the effectiveness of Improvements in courses and in the Institution, from 2014 to 2016, resulting from this evaluation process. The subjects studied were the managers, students, teachers and technicians in Education of the campuses of Tauá and Crateús, in Ceará. The field data collection was performed through a structured interview with the managers, then a specific questionnaire for each respondent segment of the institutional self-assessment, being thus characterized as an exploratory field research. Complementing the data collection, the Central Evaluation Commission was heard and the information collected was compared with an earlier study in the same HE with a similar theme. It was noted that managers use the AI ​​data to perform their interventions on the campuses, even without being systematized with planning. Regarding the segments, it is possible to verify that in some aspects researched and considered weaknesses in the AI, the technicians, students and teachers of this study were able to perceive improvements in the HEI, such as investments in infrastructure, increase in the number of servers, extension programs. Not always, however, the actions of the management to overcome the weaknesses pointed out in the AI ​​are perceived or satisfied by the administrative technicians, teachers and students, since they point out aspects that do not denote any improvement. Finally, some results of this study should be relativized due to server turnover and some specificities of the institutional self-assessment questionnaires. / Busca-se, cada vez mais, a qualidade em tudo o que se oferece à sociedade. No âmbito da Educação Superior no Brasil, não é diferente. Desde a publicação da Lei no 10.861, de 14 de abril de 2004, que instituiu o Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Superior (SINAES), a avaliação constitui um dos instrumentos capazes de medir em que nível os cursos precisam melhorar. Tendo o SINAES duas avaliações externas e uma interna e permanente denominada Autoavaliação Institucional (AI), o sistema procura identificar, nas suas três grandes dimensões, organização didático-pedagógica, infraestrutura e corpo docente e tutorial, aspectos que precisam ser melhorados nos cursos e nas instituições de Ensino Superior (IES). A AI é recorrente na academia, mas o que resta saber é se os seus resultados proporcionam as mudanças esperadas e em tempo real. O estudo exploratório de dois casos aqui estudados analisa a AI de dois campi do IFCE, tendo como objetivo conhecer a autoavaliação institucional de uma instituição de Ensino Superior, o IFCE, desde perspectiva de discentes, técnicos e docentes, a fim de verificar a efetividade de melhorias nos cursos e na Instituição, nos anos de 2014 a 2016, decorrentes deste processo avaliativo. Os sujeitos pesquisados foram os gestores, estudantes, docentes e técnicos em Educação dos campi de Tauá e Crateús, no Ceará. A coleta em campo foi realizada por meio de entrevista estruturada com os gestores, em seguida, um questionário específico para cada segmento respondente da autoavaliação institucional, sendo, assim, caracterizada como pesquisa de campo com finalidade exploratória. Complementando a coleta de dados, ouviu-se a Comissão Central de Avaliação e compararam-se as informações coletadas com um estudo anterior na mesma IES com temática semelhante. Notou-se que os gestores usam os dados da AI para realizar suas intervenções nos campi, mesmo sem ser de modo sistematizado com o planejamento. Acerca dos segmentos, pode-se verificar que em alguns aspectos pesquisados e considerados fragilidades na AI, os técnicos, discentes e docentes respondentes deste estudo conseguiram perceber melhorias na IES, como investimentos em infraestrutura, aumento do número de servidores, programas de extensão. Nem sempre, contudo, as ações da gestão para superar as fragilidades apontadas na AI são percebidas ou satisfazem os técnicos administrativos, docentes e discentes, pois são apontados aspectos que não denotam nenhuma melhoria. Por fim, alguns resultados deste estudo devem ser relativizados por conta da rotatividade de servidores e algumas especificidades dos questionários da autoavaliação institucional.

At first, the theoretical foundation considers the public management and the socioenvironmental responsibility, highlighting the role of Higher Education Institutions as centers for study, research and extension, which have a large social, cultural and scientific representation; and that, therefore, should demonstrate a coherent policy in pursuit of sustainable development. Then it presents environmental policies, regulatory instruments for environmental management, which have been important guidelines on the diffusion and construction of actions required the insertion of social and environmental responsibility in the activities of public institutions, such as: Plan Sustainable Logistics Management (PLS) provided at the Normative Ruling No. 10/2012, of Ministry of Planning, Budget and Management (MPOG), and Environmental Agenda in Public Administration (A3P). The research can be characterized as a descriptive analysis, and quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study comprises technical procedures of literature, case-studies and document analysis. As for the target audience in the research was chosen preferably by the campi directors and if not possible - or even on campi where there are many academic units with several directors within the same campus as Pici and Benfica - was chosen the one who had most knowledge on the department. As for the means of collecting data, first of all, it was applied a form, as a pilot survey and reliable estimate from the subject of study; and then a questionnaire divided into thematic groups and subgroups, responded on interviews with managers responsible for department related to the questions in order to identify environmental sustainability. The study revealed that the Federal University of Ceará is in the process of implementing sustainable strategies within its workplace, opportunity promoted by Normative Ruling No. 10/2012 that establishing the implementation of a PLS in all government entities. Results also revealed that environmental practices only implemented in a few departments or campus university are valid; however the consolidation of changing attitudes at institution for sustainability will only be effective if the integrated set of the responsible units are considered. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo identificar o grau de sustentabilidade socioambiental nas práticas de gerenciamento dos campi da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC). A fundamentação teórica discorre, inicialmente, sobre a gestão pública e responsabilidade socioambiental, destacando o papel das Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) como centros de estudo, pesquisa e extensão, com ampla competência de representação social, cultural e científica; e que, devendo assim, apresentar uma postura coerente em busca de um desenvolvimento sustentável. Em seguida, apresenta iniciativas de políticas ambientais, e instrumentos de proteção e gerenciamento ambiental, os quais mostram importantes diretrizes no que diz respeito à difusão e a construção de ações necessárias à inserção de responsabilidade socioambiental nas atividades de entidades públicas, tais como: Plano de Gestão de Logística Sustentável (PLS), conforme Instrução Normativa nº10/MPOG/2012, e Agenda da Administração Pública (A3P). Caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa do tipo descritiva, com abordagem quantiqualitativa. O estudo compreende procedimentos técnicos de pesquisa bibliográfica, estudo de caso, documental e de campo. Quanto aos sujeitos participantes da pesquisa optou-se preferencialmente pelo diretor do campus e na impossibilidade deste responder – ou, ainda, nos campi em que há diversas unidades acadêmicas com vários diretores dentro do mesmo campus, como os do Pici e Benfica – decidiu-se por alguém que tinha maior conhecimento sobre o setor/área. Quanto aos instrumentos de coleta de dados, aplicou-se em principio um formulário, como pré-teste e ambientação em relação ao campo de estudo; e, em seguida, um questionário dividido em grupos temáticos e subgrupos de critérios, respondido em entrevistas realizadas com os gestores, responsáveis pelos setores ligados aos temas escolhidos ideais na identificação da sustentabilidade ambiental. Os resultados apontam que a Universidade Federal do Ceará é uma instituição que inicia a inserção de critérios ambientais nas atividades institucionais, oportunidade promovida pela Instrução normativa nº10/MPOG/2012 que estabelece a implantação de um PLS em todas as entidades do poder público. Constata-se que as práticas ambientais implantadas de forma isolada são válidas, porém a consolidação de mudanças de atitudes na instituição em prol da sustentabilidade somente será concretizada com atuação de forma integrada entre as unidades responsáveis.
