The aerospace industry has been concerned with propeller noise levels for years. This interest is two-fold: government regulation and comfort in cabin. This report attempts to create a simulation mechanism needed to evaluate the far-field noise generation levels. However, in order to do that, the tandem cylinder case was evaluated first as a validation step before the SR-7A propeller case was performed. Both cases use STAR-CCM+, a commercial software, to perform the simulations.

Allt högre krav ställs på en vetenskapligt grundad praktik inom det sociala arbetet, en så kallad evidensbaserad praktik. Studiens syfte är att undersöka evidensbasering i det sociala arbetets praktik. Detta uppnås genom en undersökning av arbetsmetoder och synen på evidensbaserat arbete hos fältassistenter verksamma i Rinkeby-Kista stadsdelsförvaltning. Studien genomförs med hjälp av intervjuer vilka analyseras tillsammans med olika dokument och ställs mot det teoretiska ramverket. Dokumenten utgörs av en populärvetenskaplig artikel och två arbetsplatsannonser samt skriftlig information från fältassistenterna. Författarna utgår därmed ifrån en kombination av olika sätt att inhämta kunskap. Det teoretiska ramverket utgörs av Socialstyrelsens modell för evidensbaserat arbete och tillämpad teoretisk litteratur gällande evidensbasering, socialt arbete och fältarbete. Studiens resultat visar enligt författarna att det råder en osäkerhet kring evidensbegreppet bland de fältassistenter som ingår i undersökningen. Detta leder till att den evidensbaserade praktiken till stor del utförs utan en professionell medvetenhet. / Increasingly high demands, in western welfare states, are placed on a scientifically based social work practice; a so-called evidence based practice. The aim for the study is to investigate evidence based social work practice. This is achieved through a study of the work methods of detached youth workers from Rinkeyby-Kista district administration in Stockholm and their view on evidence based social work. The study is conducted using interviews which together with various documents are analyzed and set against a theoretical framework. The documents consist of a popular science article, two job advertisements and data from detached youth workers. The authors thus use different methods of collecting data. The theoretical framework consists of the National Board model for evidence based work and applied theoretical literature regarding evidence based practice, social work and outreach work. The results demonstrate that there is uncertainty about the concept of evidence based practice among detached youth workers included in the survey. This furthermore leads to an evidence based practice which is largely carried out without a professional awareness.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden wissenschaftlich-technologische Untersuchungen zur wandabgelösten VGF-Züchtung von Germanium präsentiert. Dazu wurden zwei Varianten mit Hinblick auf die Etablierung und Stabilisierung bestimmter Druckverhältnisse angewendet: (i) Beim passiven dVGF-Verfahren erfolgt die Erzeugung der Druckdifferenz über die thermische Beeinflussung des Inertgases Ar, und (ii) beim erstmals gezeigten aktiven dVGF-Verfahren über eine temperaturkontrollierte, separate Zn-Dampfdruckquelle. Ge-Einkristalle mit einem Durchmesser bis zu 3 Zoll wurden nahezu vollständig ohne Tiegelkontakt gezüchtet. Der Effekt der Wandablösung wird anhand der mikroskopischen Charakterisierung der Kristalloberfläche, der Durchbiegung der Phasengrenze sowie der etch pit density (EPD), ein Maß für die Versetzungsdichte gezeigt. Im Vergleich zu konventionell gezüchteten VGF-Kristallen zeigen die detached gezüchteten Kristalle eine hohe strukturelle Qualität. Dies wird auf reduzierte thermische und thermo-mechanische Spannungen bei der wandabgelösten Züchtung zurückgeführt.

In the last few years, it is increasing the development and use of ontologies in creating more intelligent and effective applications that aim to solve problems commonly found on the Web. This popularity is due to the fact that ontologies attempt to provide semantics to the data consumed by machines, so that they can reason about these data. However, the large adoption of the Semantic Web can be further accelerated by providing sophisticated tools that lower the barrier to the development of applications based on RDF and OWL. Developers of applications with relational databases are already familiar with tools like Hibernate, which provide an object-relational mapping and the management of the objects states. Actually, the main object state that Hibernate provides is the detached. Nevertheless, the great majority of the object-ontology mapping systems (OOMS) only provide persistent objects. The big difference between these two types of objects is that the former one has its life cycle independent of the underlying triple store connection, but the latter one is bounded to the connection. In this context, this paper proposes the creation of an object-ontology mapping systems that supports detached objects, called Joint-DE. With this system, developers of ontology-based applications can: i) use the objects coming from the triple store as objects of the business model; ii) use such objects as data transfer objects ( DTOs) between subsystems and; iii) develop small transactions with detached objects that represent a long transaction unit for the application user. To illustrate the benets of the proposed system, a case study of a real application is presented, outlining the architectural limitations of the application using an existing OOMS in the literature, as well as showing positive results to the use of JOINT-DE. Finally, an experiment was planned and executed aiming to compare the JOINT-DE with another OOMS widely used by the community: Alibaba. The statistical analyzes performed in this experiment showed satisfactory results with regard to JOINT-DE. / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Nos últimos anos, é crescente o desenvolvimento e o uso de ontologias na criação de aplicações mais inteligentes e eficazes que têm como objetivo solucionar problemas encontrados comumente na Web. Toda essa popularidade se deve ao fato de que ontologias tentam oferecer semântica aos dados consumidos pelas máquinas de forma que ela possa raciocinar sobre estes dados. Todavia, a larga adoção da Web Semântica pode ser ainda acelerada ao prover ferramentas sosticadas que diminuam a barreira de desenvolvimento de aplicações baseadas em RDF e OWL. Desenvolvedores de aplicações com bancos de dados relacionais já estão acostumados com ferramentas como o Hibernate, que oferecem um mapeamento objeto-relacional e o gerenciamento de estados dos objetos. Na verdade, o principal estado de objeto que o Hibernate disponibiliza é o desconectado. Entretanto, a grande maioria dos sistemas de mapeamento objeto-ontologia (OOMS) apenas disponibiliza objetos persistentes. A grande diferença entre os dois tipos de objetos é que o primeiro tem seu ciclo de vida independente da conexão com o banco de dados RDF, já o último é limitado à conexão. Neste contexto, este trabalho propõe a criação de um sistema de mapeamento objeto-ontologia que suporta objetos desconectados, chamado JOINT-DE. Com este sistema, desenvolvedores de aplicações baseados em ontologias podem: i) utilizar os objetos oriundos do banco de dados RDF como objetos do modelo de negócio, transitando nas diversas camadas da aplicação; ii) utilizar esses objetos como objetos de transferência de dados (DTOs) entre subsistemas e iii) desenvolver pequenas transações com objetos desconectados que representam uma unidade longa de transação para o usuário da aplicação. Para exemplificar os benefícios do sistema proposto, um estudo de caso de uma aplicação real é apresentado, expondo as limitações arquiteturais dessa aplicação ao utilizar um OOMS existente na literatura, além de mostrar resultados favoráveis à implantação do JOINT-DE. Por fim, um experimento foi planejado e executado com o objetivo de comparar o JOINT-DE com outro OOMS bastante utilizado pela comunidade: Alibaba. As análises estatísticas realizadas nesse experimento apontaram resultados satisfatórios com relação ao JOINT-DE.

O trabalho foi desenvolvido em diferentes etapas relacionadas a seguir: obtenção e manutenção do inóculo; avaliação do desenvolvimento do patógeno em diferentes meios de cultura e diferentes luminosidades; avaliação de diferentes métodos de inoculação em folhas destacadas acondicionadas em papel de filtro e em solo, incubadas em duas temperaturas; avaliação de métodos de inoculação em plântulas cultivadas em casa de vegetação (primavera/verão e outono/inverno), reação de cultivares de soja a F. tucumaniae avaliadas em folhas destacadas, reação de cultivares de soja a F. tucumaniae avaliadas em plântulas (outono/inverno). As análises dos resultados permitiram concluir maior esporulação do fungo em meio de grãos de sorgo. As metodologias de inoculação de plântulas foram bem sucedidas na época de outono/inverno 2005, observando-se infecção das plântulas, principalmente de variedades suscetíveis, e os sintomas típicos da doença ocorreram em todos os métodos utilizados. FT-Cristalina apresentou maior nível de infecção da planta, para o método de grãos de sorgo (GS). O método de inoculação, em folhas destacadas, com grãos de aveia, promoveu maior infecção nas folhas e, o ambiente mais propício ao desenvolvimento dos sintomas da doença foi o solo a 23ºC. A cultivar FT-Estrela apresentou 90,2% de plântulas mortas, e CAC-1 46,9% (método GS). No método da folha destacada não foi possível caracterizar a reação das cultivares estudadas. / Detached leaves and seedlings of some cultivars were inoculated with F. tucumaniae using different methodologies in order to evaluated their resistance reaction. The conduction of the research work consisted of the following phases: obtainment and maintenance the isolate, evaluation of the pathogen growth and sporulation in different cultura media and luminosity; evaluation of different inoculation methods in detached leaves conditioned either in filter paper and soil being, incubated under two temperatures; evaluation of inoculation methods in soybean seedlings developed in greenhouse (Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter); reaction of soybean cultivars to F. tucumaniae evaluated in detached leaves; reaction of soybean cultivars to F. tucumaniae evaluated in seedling (Autumn/Winter). The obtained results showed that the fungus sporulation was more intense when grown in a sorghum grain medium. Inoculation methodologies in seedlings showed best results when carried out during the 2005 Autumn/Winter period, because seedlings infection was observed, mainly in the susceptible cultivars, and all the employed methods allowed observation of the disease typical symptoms. FT-Cristalina was the cultivar in which the highest level of plant infection was observed, when the sorghum grain method (GS) was employed. The oat grain inoculation method in detached leaves, led to the highest leaf infection index, and the environmental condition which allowed the highest degree of leaf infection was in the soil under 23oC. FT-Estrela cultivar had 90.2% of their seedlings dead whereas for the CAC-1 cultivar that value was of 46.9% (method GS). Cultivars reaction could not be evaluated by means of the detached leaf method.
