Different solutions have been used for each security aspects (access control, application security) to secure enterprise web applications. However combining &quot / enterprise-level&quot / and &quot / application-level&quot / security aspects in one layer could give great benefits such as reusability, manageability, and scalability. In this thesis, adding a new layer to n-tier web application architectures to provide a common evaluation and enforcement environment for both enterprise-level and application level policies to bring together access controlling with application-level security. Removing discrimination between enterprise-level and application-level security policies improves manageability, reusability and scalability of whole system. Resource Access Decision (RAD) specification has been implemented and used as authentication mechanism for this layer. RAD service not only provides encapsulating domain specific factors to give access decisions but also can form a solid base to apply positive and negative security model to secure enterprise web applications. Proposed solution has been used in a real life system and test results have been presented.

No período reprodutivo as plantas foram infestadas quando as lagartas atingiram o segundo ínstar e as plantas encontravam-se no estádio R4 de desenvolvimento. Para ambos os experimentos as avaliações foram realizadas a cada dois dias até o término do ciclo larva da praga. Ao término do ciclo da cultura foi realizado a avaliação de produtividade pelo peso de todos os grãos produzidos por parcela. Safra 2015/2016: Foi realizada a quantificação de danos proporcionada por lagartas de H. armigera apenas no período reprodutivo da cultura. Na primeira etapa do experimento foram infestadas 100 plantas de soja, conduzidas em vasos, quando as plantas encontravam-se no estádio R5 de desenvolvimento com lagartas de segundo instar. As plantas foram cobertas com sacos de tecido voil para evitar fuga de lagartas e a avaliação dos danos foi realizada apenas no término do ciclo larval da praga. A segunda etapa foi desenvolvida em campo, realizando-se o desbaste artificial de acordo com a média de ataque proporcionado pela H. armigera observado na primeira etapa. O delineamento adotado foi de blocos ao acaso. Cada parcela constou de 0,5m de linha da cultura, com sete plantas. Os tratamentos constaram da infestação de uma, duas, três, cinco e nenhuma lagarta por parcela. Ao término do ciclo da cultura foi realizado a avaliação de produtividade pelo peso de todos os grãos produzidos por parcela. Na safra 2014/2015, para infestação no período vegetativo de desenvolvimento das plantas constatou-se maior média de desfolha na infestação de três lagartas por 0,5m de linha da cultura plantada, proporcionando 3,6% de desfolha em um ciclo de vida da praga. Entretanto os danos causados pela espécie não provocaram redução significativa na produtividade de grãos da soja. No período reprodutivo da cultura, o tratamento que constituiu de cinco lagartas por 0,5m de linha da cultura proporcionou média de 23,25 vagens danificadas. Na safra 2015/2016 constatou-se que cada lagarta proporciona danos em seis vagens para completar seu desenvolvimento. A preferência alimentar de lagartas é por vagens que caracterizam o estádio R6 de desenvolvimento da cultura da soja. O nível de controle da espécie Helicoverpa armigera está entre uma e duas lagartas por metro da cultura quando detectadas na formação de grãos da cultura da soja. / Helicoverpa armigera has been important pest in Brazil since its introduction in 2013. The H. armigera species can cause damage to the soybean crop from the emergence of the plants at the filling of grain in the pods. The objective of this study was to quantify the damage caused by H. armigera caterpillars in the vegetative and reproductive phase of soybean crop in a greenhouse and field and to establish the level of control for the pest in the reproductive phase of the crop. Experiments were conducted in the 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 harvests. Harvest 2014/2015: Was quantification of the damages in the vegetative and reproductive period of the soybean crop. The experiments were conducted in greenhouse, the experimental design was randomized blocks with five treatments and four replications. Each plot consisted of a rectangular vase, approximately 50 cm long and with an approximate volume of 13L of soil containing seven plants in a row. Treatments consisted of infestation of one, two, three, five and no caterpillar on a half meter line of crop planted. In the vegetative period, the plants were infested with caterpillars of second instar and when the plants were in the V4 development stage. In the reproductive period the plants were infested with caterpillars of second instar and the plants were in the developmental stage R4. For both experiments the evaluations were carried every two days until the end of the pest larval cycle. At the end of the crop cycle, the yield was evaluated by the weight of all the grains produced per plot. Harvest 2015/2016: The damage quantification provided by H. armigera caterpillars was performed only during the reproductive period of the crop. In the first stage of the experiment, 100 potted soybean plants were infested when the plants were in the R5 development stage with caterpillars of second instar. The plants were covered with voil bags to prevent caterpillars from escaping and damage assessment was performed only at the end of the larval cycle. The second stage was developed in the field, the artificial thinning being carried out according to the attack average provided by H. armigera observed in the first stage. The design was randomized blocks. Each plot consisted of half meter line of crop planted in line, with seven plants. Treatments consisted of infestation of one, two, three, five and no caterpillar per plot. At the end of the crop cycle, the yield was evaluated by the weight of all the grains produced per plot. In the 2014/2015 harvest, for infestation in the vegetative period of plant development, the highest average of defoliation was observed in the infestation of three caterpillars of half meter line of the planted crop, providing 3.6% of defoliation in a life cycle of the pest. However, the damages caused by the species did not cause a significant reduction in soybean grain yield. In the reproductive period of the crop, the treatment consisting of five caterpillars of half meter line crop planted provided an average of 23.25 damaged pods. In the 2015/2016 harvest, was verified that each caterpillar provides damages in six pods to complete its development. The feeding preference of caterpillars is by pods which characterize the R6 stage of development of the soybean crop. The control level of the Helicoverpa armigera is between one and two caterpillars per meter of the crop when detected in the formation of soybean crop grains.

The need to save energy, cut costs, and increase profit margin in process manufactureincreases continually. There is also a global drive to reduce energy use and cut down co2 emission and combat climate change. These in turn have led to more stringent requirements on process control performance. Hence, the requirements for modern systems are often not achievable using classical control techniques. Therefore, advanced control strategies are often required to ensure optimal process performance. Despite these challenges, PID has continued to be the dominant industrial control scheme. However, for systems with complex dynamics and/or high performance requirements, PID control may not be sufficient. Therefore, a significant number of industrial control loops are not performing optimally and more advanced control than PID may be required in order to achieve optimal performance. MPC is one of the advanced control schemes that has had a significant impact in the industry. Despite the benefits associated with the implementation of MPC, the technology has remained a niche application in process manufacture. This thesis seeks to address these issues by developing ways that could lead to widespread application of MPC. In the first part of this thesis, a study was carried out to understand the characteristics of processes that would benefit from the application of MPC at the regulatory control level even in the single-input single-output (SISO) case. This is a departure from the common practice in which MPC is applied at the supervisory control layer delivering set points to PID controllers at the regulatory control layer. Both numerical simulation and industrial studies were used to show and quantify benefits of MPC for SISO applications at the regulatory control layer. Some issues that have led to the limited application of MPC include the cost and human efforts associated with modelling and controller design. And to achieve high process performance, accurate models are required. To address this issue, in the second part of this thesis, a novel technique for designing MPC from routine plant data – routine data MPC (RMPC) is proposed. The proposed technique was successfully implemented on process models. This technique would reduce the high human cost associated with MPC deployment, which could make it a widespread rather than niche application in the process manufacturing industry.

<p>Self control is affected by self-regulatory strength depletion (Hagger et al., 2010) as well as construal-level mindset (Fujita et al., 2006). However, two conflicting perspectives have emerged predicting differential interactive effects of construals and depletion. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the independent and interactive effects of construal levels and self-control strength in an effortful cycling exercise task. Using a randomized 2 X 2 factorial design, undergraduate participants (<em>N </em>= 67, <em>n</em> = 34 women) completed a baseline cycling task, followed by a self-control depletion manipulation (Stroop task vs. quiet rest; Wallace & Baumeister, 2002), a construal-level manipulation (category vs. exemplar naming task; Fujita et al., 2006), and then a 10-minute strenuous cycling test trial. The results showed no main effects for either self-control strength depletion or construal level (<em>p</em> > .20). However there was a near-significant interaction effect (<em>p </em>= .07) indicating the depleted group outperformed the non-depleted group in the low-construal condition, whereas the opposite effect occurred in the high-construal condition. The results provide novel insights of the effects of self-control strength depletion and construal mindsets on exercise performance and implications for the design of construal level and self-control depletion research.</p> / Master of Science (MSc)

In this thesis, field oriented control of permanent magnet synchronous motors using three-level neutral-point-clamped inverter is studied. Permanent magnet synchronous motors are used in high performance drive applications. In this study, the permanent magnet synchronous motor is fed by three-level neutral-point-clamped inverter. For three-level neutral-point-clamped inverter different space vector modulation algorithms, which are reported in literature, are analyzed and compared via computer simulations. The voltage balance on dc-link capacitors is also analyzed and a software control method is implemented in conjunction with the space vector PWM modulation, utilized. Nonlinear effects such as dead-time, semiconductor voltage drop and delays in gate drive circuitries also present in neutral-point-clamped inverter. The effects of these nonlinearities are studied and a compensation method for these nonlinear effects is proposed. The theoretical results are supported with computer simulations and verified with experimental results.
