O primeiro, elaborado em 1952, aprovado em 1954. O segundo, elaborado em 1967 a 1971, aprovado em 1976, e ainda em vigor, em que pesem as tentativas de sua substituição. O problema de pesquisa é de natureza epistemológica com a verificação de que: em mais de um século de estudos sobre a cidade capitalista, diversas correntes surgiram buscando criar modelos para analisar a realidade urbana; os Planos Diretores de Florianópolis correspondem a dois modelos. O primeiro, ao urbanismo racionalista inspirado nos CIAM, o segundo, ao planejamento integrado instituído no país durante o regime ditatorial pós 64; enquanto modelos inscrevem-se no discurso da racionalidade que apresenta uma ordem ideal oposta a uma desordem diagnosticada; os modelos expressam componente ideológico em que as contradições do real são sinônimos de irracionalidade, conferindo-lhes traços utópicos; ambos os modelos fracassaram e Florianópolis acompanha os debates sobre as críticas aos modelos e definição de novos paradigmas como o da participação popular no planejamento urbano.

The high degree of accuracy now found using GPS observation techniques has led to worldwide acceptance of the geocentric datums, specifically the WGS84 datum as the mainstay for referencing in the geodetic community. Nevertheless, local datums are non-geocentric and if we want to use GPS on their positions, some disagreement will result. This report presents PC-based software to transform coordinates between any two arbitrary datums. Transformations between NAD27 and NAD83 are used as examples expanded with the development of maps which illustrate shifts between those two datums in Latitude, Longitude, and Geoidal Height. It should be stressed that these transformations are based upon the standard seven parameters (3 shifts, 3 rotations, and scale change) and changes in the semimajor axis and the flattening including second partial differentials. This software does not take into account any random distortions that may be present in the datum coordinates. / Master of Engineering

Application of production line techniques has resulted in the development of centralized unit-dose dispensing in hospital pharmacies. Although this process is more efficient than decentralized dispensing, it is still a labor and time intensive operation. Many of the tasks associated with this operation are rote and repetitive. Also registered pharmacists have been pulled away from patient care areas back to the pharmacy in order to supervise dispensing. As a result the role of the pharmacist as a drug information specialist has suffered. The scope of this project is to develop a plan for automated dispensing of unit-dosed liquid and injectable medications as a partial answer to the needs of a modern hospital pharmacy. The plan covers conceptual design, including requirements specifications, functional analyses, requirements allocation, and preliminary cost analyses. / Master of Science
