Estes sistemas permitem uma análise detalhada do comportamento de equipamentos e dispositivos e fornecem informações que auxiliam na melhora do seu desempenho. No estudo da utilização de energias renováveis o uso de sensores é aplicado para mapear o ambiente onde o equipamento está inserido e analisar o seu comportamento e desempenho. No caso de coletores solares, é realizado o monitoramento da temperatura do ambiente, da água no coletor em locais diferentes, da velocidade do vento e da radiação solar, permitindo o seu controle e melhorando o seu desempenho. A instrumentação adequada pode trazer melhorias aos coletores solares, porém dependem de estudos detalhados do seu comportamento através da aquisição de dados do equipamento e do ambiente onde ele está inserido. Para viabilizar esta otimização são necessários equipamentos de coleta de dados específicos que, normalmente, tem alto custo de aquisição. Este é um dos principais empecilhos para uma maior evolução destes equipamentos, principalmente os destinados ao uso residencial. Sendo assim, este trabalho objetiva desenvolver um módulo de coleta de dados de baixo custo para auxíliar no estudo de equipamentos em diversas áreas, incluindo a área de fontes de energia renovável. Um dispositivo deste tipo possibilita a coleta de diversos dados físicos como, por exemplo, a temperatura, a velocidade do vento e vazão d’água. Com o dispositivo há a possibilidade do armazenamento desses dados em um cartão SD, facilitando a sua transferência para o computador. Ao final do trabalho é apresentado o projeto de um módulo e as bibliotecas de maneira a permitir a sua fácil utilização. Alguns valores de parâmetros também foram captados, verificando-se o comportamento adequado do módulo e biblioteca nas condições propostas. / Parameter monitoring systems are widely used in the industrial sector for process control and also in the area of research and development. These systems afford device's behavior analysis with detailed and provide information that helps improve its performance. In the study of renewable energies use, the sensors is applied to map the environment where the equipment is inserted and to analyze its behavior and performance. In the case of solar collectors, the monitoring occurs in the environment temperature, collector water temperature in different places, wind speed and the solar radiation, allowing its control and improving its performance. Proper instrumentation can bring improvements to solar collectors, but depend on detail studies of its behavior based on the acquisition of data from the equipment and the environment where it is inserted. To make this optimization feasible, specific data collection equipment is required, which normally has a high acquisition cost. This is one of the main impediments to keep the evolution of this equipment, especially those destined for residential use. Therefore, this work aims to develop a low cost data collection module to aid in the initial study of equipments used in several sector, include the renewable energy sources sector. This kind of device turn possible the collection of various physical data, such as temperature, wind speed and water flow. With this device there is the possibility of storing this data on an SD card, making it easy to transfer to the computer. At the end of the work, the design of the module and its libraries are presented in a way that allows easy use. Some parameter values were also captured, verifying the proper behavior of the module and library in the proposed conditions.

SystemC-AMS that is a library of C++ classes dedicated to the simulation of heterogeneous systems, offering a powerful resource to describe models in digital, analog and RF domains, as well as mechanical and optic. The designed model was divided in four parts. The first block takes into account the satellite s orbit, necessary to correctly model the propagation channel, including Doppler effect, attenuation and thermal noise. The identification block detects the satellite presence. It is composed by low noise amplifier, band pass filter, power detector and logic comparator. The controller block is responsible for enabling the RF transmitter when the presence of the satellite is detected. The controller was modeled as a Petri net, due to the asynchronous nature of the system. The fourth block is the RF transmitter unit, which performs the modulation of the information in BPSK ?60o. This block is composed by oscillator, mixer, adder and amplifier. The whole system was simulated simultaneously.

Given that human development is a complex process involving multiple components and determiningfactors, multidimensional indicators are needed. On the basis of the extensive literatureon the subject, we advance two new indicators: the Matrix of Capabilities and Functioning(MCF), and the Algorithm of Human Development (HDA).The MCF is composed of vectors of capabilities and functionings, based on Sen’s idea of RefinedFunctionings. It is based in a matricial framework, both static and dynamic. The main purposeof constructing this index is to study how different sets of capabilities relate to alternativefunctionings, to produce diverse outcomes.The Human Development Algorithm (HAD) is a multidimensional index concerning the setof goods and services needed to complete a life cycle. The HDA is a socio-economic contextindicator. It is composed of the main «satisfactors» or basic goods and services needed: food,health, education, housing, social security, decent employment and retirement programs, thatmight be available to all throughout of life cycle. This indicator shows the material progressreached by each country or region as well the institutional organization, private and public, andthe degree of social cohesion and solidarity. / Dado que el desarrollo humano es un proceso complejo que tiene múltiples componentes ydeterminantes, es necesario tener indicadores multidimensionales tales como la Matriz de Capacidadesy Desempeños (MCD) y el Algoritmo del Desarrollo Humano (ADH).El MCD está compuesto de vectores de capacidades y de desempeños, basado en la idea de Sensobre desempeños refinados. Está basado en un marco conceptual matricial, tanto estático comodinámico. El propósito principal de la construcción del índice es estudiar cómo diferentes conjuntosde capacidades con desempeños pueden producir distintos resultados.El ADH es un índice multidimensional relacionado con el conjunto de bienes y servicios que senecesitan para completar un ciclo de vida. El ADH es un indicador de contexto socioeconómico.Está compuesto de los principales satisfactores o bienes y servicios básicos que se requieren: alimentos,salud, educación, vivienda, seguridad social, empleo decente y sistema de pensiones, quedeben estar disponibles durante todo el ciclo de vida. Este indicador muestra el progreso materialalcanzado por cada país o región, tanto como la organización institucional pública y privada, yel grado de cohesión social.

How in most such cases the data are not needed in real time, in this work is proposed and evaluated a new cross-layer algorithm, called PWAVE, turned to WSNs with periodic data collection, where data transmissions are made through a predetermined interval. While such transfers are not performed, the sensor still collecting information from the environment and turn off their radios to reduce energy consumption. Several other challenges appear before this way of working, for example, the synchronization of clocks, which are readily solved by the algorithm. The results show that the proposed solution is efficient and can save up to 51.2 % of energy with 99 % in the rate of data delivery when compared with similar solutions / Uma das principais aplicações existentes em Redes de Sensores Sem Fio (RSSFs) é o monitoramento ambiental, mais particularmente no acompanhamento da fauna existente em locais diversos como florestas, campos, etc. Nesses ambientes de difícil acesso, a manutenção dos sensores fica prejudicada e a restrição de energia torna-se um fator primordial para a vida útil da rede. Como na maioria desses casos os dados não são necessários em tempo real, neste trabalho é proposto e avaliado um novo algoritmo cross-layer, denominado PWAVE, voltado para RSSFs com coleta periódica, onde as transmissões dos dados são feitas através de intervalos predeterminados. Enquanto essas transmissões não são executadas, o sensor permanece coletando as informações do ambiente e seus rádios desligam-se, a fim de reduzir o consumo de energia. Diversos outros desafios aparecem diante deste modo de trabalho como, por exemplo, a sincronização dos relógios, que são prontamente solucionados pelo algoritmo proposto. Os resultados mostram que a solução proposta é eficiente e consegue economizar até 51.2% de energia com 99% na taxa de entrega de dados quando comparado com soluções similares

Vigilância Epidemiológica, é a forma através do qual o SUS busca produzir impacto em termos de controle, eliminação e até erradicação de um conjunto definido de doenças imunopreveníveis. O PNI tem conseguindo bons resultados em termos de cobertura vacinais e controle de importantes doenças, embora ainda com importantes desigualdades regionais e locais. Este estudo busca conhecer os fatores que determinam a efetividade deste programa no município de São Paulo a partir de uma análise mutinível. MÉTODO: Em 2002 o Depto. de Medicina Social da FCMSCSP realizou o Inquérito de Cobertura Vacinal no primeiro ano de vida para a coorte de nascidos entre 1º de novembro de 1999 e 31 de outubro de 2000 residentes no município de São Paulo. Este inquérito domiciliar se baseou no processo de amostragem por conglomerado preconizado pela OPAS. Em cada um dos 41 Distritos de Saúde (DS) foi calculada uma amostra de 210 crianças, num total de 8610 crianças. A importância de variáveis grupais e individuais em relação a cobertura vacinal para esquema completo em crianças com um ano de idade e a participação no Dia Nacional de Vacinação (25/08/2001) foi investigada através de um modelo multinível logístico. Foram estabelecidos nesta análise três níveis: individual, conglomerado, compostos pelos setores censitários e decorrentes do processo de análise e o DS. O modelo multinível foi construído através do software MLWin 2.0. RESULTADOS: O modelo multinível para cobertura com esquema completo em crianças com um ano de idade evidenciou um efeito do DS de 0,15 com um p <0,01; um efeito do conglomerado de 0,07 e p=0,051.A inclusão das variáveis individuais quase não alterou os efeitos aleatórios dos dois níveis. No modelo final as seguintes variáveis mostraram-se associadas ao desfecho: uso de serviço privado OR de 0,64 (IC95%0,50-0,82), pessoas por cômodo um OR de 0,93 (IC95%;0,88-0,98), mãe trabalhar fora e escolaridade da mãe estiveram associadas ao desfecho e apresentaram uma interação.Os dados sugerem uma tendência de aumento da cobertura vacinal conforme aumenta a escolaridade da mãe até a categoria de 9 a 11 anos, voltando a ser menor em crianças com mães um nível de estudo maior. Em relação a participação em campanha de vacinação, o nível do DS apresentou um efeito de 0,32, e nível do conglomerado de 0,18 (p<0,001). Em relação as variáveis individuais, uso de serviço privado para vacinar apresentou um OR de 0,26 (IC95%: 0,21-0,36), mãe trabalha fora de casa um OR de 0,82 (IC95%:0,73-0,92) A escolaridade da mãe, usando a faixa de 9 a 11 anos de escolaridade da mãe por referência, apresentou até a terceira série OR de 0,97 (IC95%: 0,76-1,23), de 4 a 8 anos um OR de 0,86 (IC95%:0,75-0,98) e mais 12 anos de estudo um OR de 0,54 (IC95%:0,44-0,66). A participação em campanha foi maior conglomerados com menor renda média do chefe e no DS com maior proporção de pobres. CONCLUSÕES: Existem diferenças em relação à cobertura vacinal no município de São Paulo que não são totalmente explicadas pelas características individuais e familiares. O DS de moradia destas famílias possui um efeito de contexto sobre a cobertura vacinal. A participação em campanhas de vacinação se revela uma importante estratégia para o acesso dos segmentos menos favorecidos às vacinas. É necessário também aprofundar o conhecimento sobre a cobertura vacinal nos segmentos mais abastados do município / INTRODUCTION: In Brazil, the National Immunization Program (PNI), a branch of the National Surveillance System, is the standard approach of the Brazilian Unified Health System to control, eliminate and even eradicate a set of vaccine-preventable diseases. The PNI has attained good results in terms of vaccine coverage and controlling important diseases, although local and regional inequalities persist. This study aimed to identify which factors were influencing the effectiveness of immunization program in São Paulo City, using multilevel analysis. METHODS: In 2002 the Social Medicine Department of Santa Casa School of Medical Sciences (FCMSC) carried out a vaccine coverage survey, among residents of São Paulo City, addressing the vaccines recommended for the first year of life, among children born between November 1 of 1999 and October 31 of 2000. This household survey was done using the cluster sample technique advocated by the PAHO. In each one of the 41 Health Districts (DS) a sample of 210 infants, in a gross one of 8610, was obtained. The role of group and individuals variable levels in the vaccine coverage for the complete schedule among infants of one year of age and the participation in the National Vaccination Day (25/08/2001) were investigated through a logistic multilevel model. The analysis was performed including three levels: individual, cluster and health districts (DS). The cluster was based on the census tracts, defined by the sampling procedures. The multilevel model was performed using MLWin 2.0. software. RESULTS: The multilevel model for complete coverage with the recommended vaccines for the age group (children aged up to one year), identified at the health district (DS) an effect of 0,15 (p-value <0,01) and at the cluster level an effect of 0,07 (p=0,051). Adding individual level variables did not change the random effects of the two other levels. The final model included the following variables associated to the outcome: use of private service , (OR= 0,64, 95%CI: 0,50-0,82), number of persons by room (agglomerate), (OR= 0,93, 95%CI: 0,88-0,98). The employment status of the mother and mother\'s level of education, were both associated to the outcome and presented an interaction. Our data suggests the immunization uptake increases as the mother\'s years of education increases up to 9 to 11 years, decreasing among children whose mothers have greater level than 11 years of schooling. Regarding participation in vaccination campaign, at the DS level, the effect was 0,32, and at the cluster level the effect was 0,18 (p<0,001). At the individual level, the following characteristics were associated to the outcome: use of private clinic for vaccination (OR=0,26, 95% CI: 0,21-0,36), a working mother (OR=0,82, 95% CI:0,73-0,92). To examine the effect of mother\'s education, we used 9 to 11 years of education as the reference category. For children whose mothers had up to 3 years of education the OR was 0,97 (95% CI: 0,76-1,23); from 4 to 8 years of education the OR was 0,86 (95% CI:0,75-0,98) and for more than 12 years of study an OR of 0,54 (95% CI:0,44-0,66). The participation in campaign was bigger in clusters with lower head of household income, and bigger proportion of poor population. CONCLUSIONS: There are differences in the immunization uptake in São Paulo City that cannot be fully explained by the family and individual characteristics. The Health District, a geographic area where the household is located, poses a context effect on the vaccine coverage. Vaccine campaigns have an important role in increasing the access to vaccines for the poorest population. It is necessary further studies to a better understanding of the vaccine coverage in the wealthier segments of the town

Le concept de réseau offre un modèle de représentation pour une grande variété d'objets et de systèmes, aussi bien naturels que sociaux, dans lesquels un ensemble d'entités homogènes ou hétérogènes interagissent entre elles. Il est aujourd'hui employé couramment pour désigner divers types de structures relationnelles. Pourtant, si chacun a une idée plus ou moins précise de ce qu'est un réseau, nous ignorons encore souvent les implications qu'ont ces structures dans de nombreux phénomènes du monde qui nous entoure. C'est par exemple le cas de processus tels que la diffusion d'une rumeur, la transmission d'une maladie, ou même l'émergence de sujets d'intérêt commun à un groupe d'individus, dans lesquels les relations que maintiennent les individus entre eux et leur nature s'avèrent souvent être les principaux facteurs déterminants l'évolution du phénomène. C'est ainsi que l'étude des réseaux est devenue l'un des domaines émergents du 21e siècle appelé la "Science des réseaux". Dans ce mémoire, nous abordons trois problèmes de la science des réseaux: le problème de la diffusion dans les réseaux sociaux, où nous nous sommes intéressés plus particulièrement à l'impact de la dynamique du réseau sur le processus de diffusion, le problème de l'analyse des réseaux sociaux, dans lequel nous avons proposé une solution pour tirer parti de l'ensemble des informations disponibles en combinant les informations sur la structure du réseau et les attributs des noeuds et le problème central de la collecte de données sociales, où nous nous sommes intéressés au cas particulier de la collecte de données en milieux sauvages / The concept of network provides a model for representing a wide variety of objects and systems, both natural and social, in which a set of homogeneous or heterogeneous entities interact. It is now widely used to describe various kinds of relational structures. However, if everyone has an idea of the concept of network, we often ignore the implications that these structures have in real world phenomena. This is for example the case of processes such as the spread of a rumor, the disease transmission, or even the emergence of subjects of common interest for a group of individuals, in which the relations maintained between individuals, and their nature, often prove to be the main factors determining the evolution of the phenomenon. This is the reason why the study of networks has become one of the emerging areas in the 21st century called the "Science of networks." ln this thesis, we address three issues of the domain of the science of networks: the problem of diffusion in social networks, where we have addressed more particularly the impact of the network dynamics on the diffusion process, the problem of the analysis of social networks, in which we have proposed a solution to take full advantage of all information available on the network by combining information on both structure and node attributes and the central problem of the social data collection, for which we have focused on the particular case of the data collection in a wild environment.

The probes and probeware examined include Pasco Scientific's ScienceWorkshop, Venier's LabPro, and Onset's HOBO. Three experiments were used to test each of the criteria for comparison. Based on the data in the study no manufacturer proved themselves to be clearly the best, and taken collectively the benefits and drawbacks balance out.

The aim of this thesis is to build a web application to teach students programming in Python through code puzzles that do not require them to write any code, to answer the research question How should a quiz application for introduction to Python programming be developed to be useful? The web application's utility and usability are evaluated through the learnability metric relative user efficiency. Data was collected and analyzed using Google Analytics and BigQuery. The study found that users were successfully aided with theoretical sections pertaining to the puzzles and even if programming is mainly a desktop activity there is still an interest for mobile access. Although evaluation of relative user efficiency did not serve as a sufficient learnability measure for this type of application, conclusions from the data analysis still gave insights into the utility of the web application.
