Znalost o prostorovém rozložení, koncentraci a zdrojích CO2 v atmosféře je klíčová k pochopení přírodního cyklu oxidu uhličitého, k předpovědi vývoje a vlivu CO2 na klimatické změny. Tato práce se zabývá problematikou optického dálkového snímání za použití LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systému. Obsahuje potřebné teoretické znalosti o LIDAR systému, použití a principy. Z mnoha aplikací využívající LIDAR je v této práci nastíněno provedení a měření pomocí DIAL (Differential Absorption LIDAR) systému určeného k určení koncentrace CO2 v atmosféře, tak i využití dalších aktivních či pasivních způsobů snímání CO2.

Drawing upon more in biology than in physics to develop a general ontology, it discards the postulates of classical atomistic materialism to produce a new image of nature, one that is compatible with the objective existence of normativity and intentionality, facilitating an articulation between image manifest and scientific image. Evolutionary materialism attempts to understand subjectivity as natural reality, and to think how it is possible that it evolved over time out of a non-mental physical world. It seeks to understand the intelligence and rationality as a result, not as principles - as late and contingent products of a natural history. In order to do that, we mobilize theoretical tools from dialectical philosophy and from contemporary biology, and thus build a conceptual framework rich enough to allow for the naturalization of agency. Our goals are: 1) to argue that it is no longer possible to make progress on some classic questions of philosophy without a serious engagement with the natural sciences, 2) to show that there is a continuous historical line from Kant, through Hegel and the dialectical materialism, to recent scientific proposals that characterize life by its circular organization, and 3) to demonstrate that the formula Hegel + Darwin remains relevant and fruitful as the basis for a creative materialism, a research program seeking to naturalize the subject without eliminating it. / O materialismo evolutivo ? uma proposta de metaf?sica naturalista que busca combinar a teleologia imanente da dial?tica hegeliana com a historicidade n?o-teleol?gica da evolu??o darwiniana. Inspirando-se mais na biologia do que na f?sica para desenvolver uma ontologia geral, descarta os postulados atomistas do materialismo cl?ssico para produzir uma nova imagem da natureza, uma que seja compat?vel com a exist?ncia objetiva da normatividade e da intencionalidade, facilitando a articula??o entre imagem manifesta e imagem cient?fica. O materialismo evolutivo se prop?e a compreender a subjetividade como realidade natural, e como ? poss?vel que ela tenha evolu?do ao longo do tempo a partir do mundo f?sico n?o-mental. Procura-se compreender a intelig?ncia e a racionalidade como resultados, n?o como princ?pios como produtos tardios e contingentes de uma hist?ria natural. Para tanto, s?o mobilizados os instrumentos te?ricos da filosofia dial?tica e da biologia contempor?nea para montar um quadro conceitual rico o suficiente para permitir a naturaliza??o da ag?ncia. Nossos objetivos aqui s?o: 1) defender que n?o ? mais poss?vel progredir em algumas quest?es cl?ssicas da filosofia sem um engajamento s?rio com as ci?ncias naturais, 2) mostrar que h? uma linha hist?rica cont?nua que vai de Kant, passando por Hegel e pelo materialismo dial?tico, at? ?s recentes propostas cient?ficas de caracterizar a vida por sua organiza??o circular, 3) demonstrar que a f?rmula Hegel + Darwin permanece atual e frut?fera como base de um materialismo criativo, um programa de pesquisa que pretenda naturalizar o sujeito sem elimin?-lo.

Para respond?-la, o l?cus privilegiado foram os espa?os acad?micos, a assessoria e a consultoria - lugares em que a falsa dicotomia entre a teoria e a pr?tica se expressava com mais intensidade. Inicialmente se buscou nas disciplinas ministradas no curso de Servi?o Social da ULBRA/Canoas, Quest?o Social e Processo de Trabalho V, esta articula??o em que se operacionalizou o M?todo Dial?tico Materialista na forma??o, atrav?s da Metodologia da Pr?tica Dial?tica, oportunizando a sua utiliza??o com a Rede Interna, como estrat?gia pedag?gica, onde a arte (cinema e teatro) e o l?dico se constitu?ram como elementos fundamentais ? media??o do ensino-aprendizagem. A Metodologia da Pr?tica Dial?tica se constituiu na ponte para materializar o M?todo na interven??o. A s?ntese provis?ria de toda esta pesquisa - a articula??o entre as ?reas de conhecimento e as da interven??o - foi concretizada na disciplina Pr?ticas em Servi?o Social I, processo que ? explicitado dando-se visibilidade a sua aplica??o junto aos alunos que a cursaram e que posteriormente referendaram o processo.

The goal of this type of problem is the minimization of the operation cost, in other words, the ride time respecting constraints like time windows for pickup and delivery of each user, the number of vehicles available and each vehicle capacity. This thesis proposes an exact Mixed Integer Linear Program model to solve the DARPTW. In order to apply the model in a real application, the model was tested with data provided by the Vitória City Hall Infrastructure and Transportation Secretary. The model was implemented using CPLEX software and the results showed that instances up to 20 wheelchair users can be solved optimally. Moreover, it was done an analysis for fleet used / Os problemas de transporte público de cadeirantes são comumente resolvidos pelo modelo Dial-a-Ride Problem (DARP) com janelas de tempo (Time Window - TW). Com base nas restrições de janela de tempo na origem e no destino de cada cliente, no número de veículos e na capacidade de cada um deles, deseja-se minimizar os custos de atendimento dessas demandas, ou seja, o tempo de viagem. A presente dissertação propõe um modelo de Programação Linear Inteira Mista para resolver o problema do DARP-TW. Visando uma aplicação do modelo no transporte público de cadeirantes foram utilizados dados reais fornecidos pela Secretaria de Transportes, Trânsito e Infraestrutura da Prefeitura de Vitória. O modelo foi executado no software CPLEX e os resultados mostraram que cenários com até 20 clientes podem ser resolvidos otimamente. Além disso, foi possível uma análise em relação à frota utilizada

The primary purpose of this research was to validate psychometric integrity of the Speed DIAL screening instrument by establishing its predictive validity. The validation process included determining what, if any, associations existed between the predictor variable, Speed DIAL and the outcome variable, the Virginia Standards of Learning third-grade math and total English tests. Gender and age were factors in the study. Finally, certain intervening variables, those occurring after the predictor variable, but before the outcome variable, were included in the study. These interventions were supplementary programs or placements provided students in the hopes of positively influencing students' academic performance. The documented interventions were: retention status, special education status, number of years participating in Title I math, number of years participating in Title I reading, and number of years participating in the Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening (PALS) program. Based on the findings, Speed DIAL does possess predictive qualities. There was a moderate correlation between Speed DIAL scores and Virginia Standards of Learning third-grade math and total English test scores. Speed DIAL's overall effectiveness rating exceeded 75%. Females scored higher than males on the Speed DIAL, and there was a negative association between Speed DIAL and the documented intervening variables. Using the Elaboration Paradigm, these intervening variables validated the positive association between Speed DIAL scores and scores on the Virginia Standards of Learning third-grade tests.

The present study investigates the effect of brain damage on verbal-spatial-cognitive (VSC) and sensorimotor (SM) measures included in the McCarron-Dial System (MDS). The subjects include 141 brain damaged adults and 42 psychiatric controls. The following research questions are addressed: (a) Does the brain damaged group differ significantly from controls? (b) Are there significant differences among left, right, anterior, posterior, and diffuse brain damaged groups? (c) Do early onset, late onset, acute, and chronic damaged groups differ significantly? and (d) Does a cerebral palsy group differ significantly from a non-CP brain damaged group?
