Se lembrarmos de algumas situações vividas por nós, durante nossa vida escolar, podemos encontrar indícios de que a educação homogênea não atinge a todos de forma igual e eqüitativa. Assim, este estudo propõe uma metodologia para estudo da teoria de estilo de aprendizagem individual no ambiente computacional, voltado ao uso de softwares educacionais. Para isso foram construídos dois softwares educacionais NEUROX 2004 e Enzyme, que possuem diferentes componentes como textos, imagens, animações e simulações. Os softwares desenvolvidos possuem mecanismos de coleta e armazenamento de dados que podem ser utilizados para avaliação do perfil de utilização dos mesmos pelos usuários. Os dados coletados podem ser submetidos à avaliação estatística, permitindo portanto a definição de padrões de uso dos programas relacionando o perfil dos usuários e componentes dos softwares mais acessados. Nos resultados obtidos foi possível identificar alguns padrões de uso, indicando que a metodologia desenvolvida permite estudar relações entre características individuais e uso dos softwares. A metodologia desenvolvida permite aplicações para a melhor compreensão de como diferentes usuários interagem com softwares educacionais, auxiliando no desenvolvimento dos mesmos bem como em sua avaliação de uso / Abstract: Not informed. / Mestrado / Fisiologia / Mestre em Biologia Funcional e Molecular

Os compósitos cerâmicos de alto desempenho têm sido objeto de frequentes estudos nas últimas décadas, visando à melhora das propriedades mecânicas e ao aumento da sua gama de aplicações em produtos tecnológicos. Este trabalho consistiu em estudar a preparação, a sinterização convencional e não convencional e as propriedades mecânicas e tribológicas resultantes de dois sistemas compósitos: t-ZrO2/Al2O3 e t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC. No sistema t-ZrO2/Al2O3 foram estudadas as composições de 0, 5 e 15% em volume de Al2O3 usando pós comerciais. No sistema t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC, foi usado um pó nanocristalino de Al2O3-NbC, obtido por moagem reativa de alta energia e adicionado na proporção de 5% em volume à matriz de t-ZrO2. Os pós foram prensados uniaxial e isostaticamente e sinterizados em forno convencional e pelas técnicas de flash sintering (FS) (t-ZrO2/Al2O3) e spark plasma sintering (SPS) (t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC). Os compósitos t-ZrO2/Al2O3 sinterizados convencionalmente e t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC sinterizados convencionalmente e por SPS foram caracterizados por medidas de densidade aparente, dilatometria, microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), e medidas de propriedades mecânicas: dureza, módulo de Young e tenacidade à fratura. Os compósitos t-ZrO2/Al2O3 sinterizados por FS foram caracterizados por medidas de densidade aparente, dilatometria in situ e MEV. Os nanocompósitos de t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC foram também caracterizados quanto à resistência ao desgaste pelo método esfera-no-disco, utilizando esferas de Al2O3 e WC-6%Co como contramateriais. Os resultados mostraram que a moagem reativa de alta energia foi completa e efetiva na obtenção de pós nanométricos de Al2O3-NbC, com tamanhos de cristalito de 9,1 nm para Al2O3 e 9,7 nm para o NbC. A desaglomeração posterior à moagem de alta energia foi eficaz na redução do tamanho de aglomerados. Os compósitos t-ZrO2/Al2O3 e t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC sinterizados convencionalmente e ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC sinterizados por SPS mostraram alta densificação (>97% DT e boas propriedades mecânicas. Os nanocompósitos de t-ZrO2/Al2O3 sinterizados por FS apresentaram uma densificação ultrarrápida (< 1 min) com retração linear superior às amostras sinterizadas em forno convencional, ocorrente a temperaturas inferiores a 1000°C, com densidades relativas superiores a 90% DT em algumas composições. Os nanocompósitos de t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC apresentaram propriedades competitivas entre os compósitos sinterizados convencionalmente e por SPS, com dureza e tenacidade à fratura superiores às da t-ZrO2 monolítica. A resistência ao desgaste desses nanocompósitos sinterizados convencionalmente, no entanto, foi notadamente superior à dos sinterizados por SPS. A oxidação do NbC nos compósitos sinterizados convencionalmente influiu negativamente nas propriedades, levando à sugestão de uma \"janela\" de temperaturas em que a sinterização do nanocompósito de t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC seja interessante sem a degradação das propriedades mecânicas. Os resultados permitiram concluir que os materiais estudados apresentam potencial para aplicações industriais que requerem cerâmicas de alto desempenho mecânico e de resistência ao desgaste. / High performance ceramic composites have been the subject of frequent studies in recent decades, aiming at improving mechanical properties and increasing their range of applications in technological products. This work consisted in studying the preparation, the conventional and non-conventional sintering and the mechanical properties resulting from two t-ZrO2 matrix composites: the t-ZrO2/Al2O3 system and the t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC system. In the t-ZrO2/Al2O3 system, the compositions of 0, 5 and 15% by volume of Al2O3 using commercial powders were studied, while in the t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC system, an Al2O3-NbC nanocrystalline powder obtained by high energy reactive milling, deagglomerated, leached in HCl and added in the proportion of 5% by volume to the t-ZrO2 matrix. The obtained powders were uniaxially and isostatically pressed and sintered in conventional furnace and using flash sintering (t-ZrO2/Al2O3) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) (t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC). Conventionally sintered t-ZrO2/Al2O3 and conventionally sintered t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC composites were characterized by measurements of apparent density, dilatometry, SEM, and mechanical properties: hardness, Young\'s modulus and fracture toughness. The t-ZrO2/Al2O3 composites sintered by FS were characterized by measurements of apparent density, in situ dilatometry and SEM. t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC nanocomposites were also characterized for wear strength by the ball-in-disc method, using Al2O3 and WC-6%Co beads as countermaterials. The results showed that the high energy reactive milling was complete and effective in obtaining nanometric powders of Al2O3-NbC, with crystallite sizes equal to 9.1 and 9.7 nm, for Al2O3 and NbC, respectively. The deagglomeration after high energy reactive milling was effective in reducing the size of agglomerates. Conventionally sintered t-ZrO2/Al2O3 and t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC composites and SPS-sintered t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC showed high densification (> 97% TD), good dispersion of the inclusions in the matrix and good mechanical properties. The t-ZrO2/Al2O3 nanocomposites sintered by FS presented an ultrafast densification (<1 min) with linear shrinkage superior to the sintered samples in conventional furnace, occurring at temperatures lower than 1000°C, with relative densities higher than 90% TD in some compositions. The t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC nanocomposites presented competitive properties between conventionally sintered and SPS-sintered composites with higher hardness and fracture toughness than monolithic t-ZrO2. The wear resistance of these conventionally sintered nanocomposites, however, was markedly higher than those of SPS-sintered ones. The oxidation of NbC in the composites sintered conventionally influenced negatively the properties, leading to the suggestion of a \"window\" of temperatures in which the sintering of the t-ZrO2/Al2O3-NbC nanocomposite is interesting without the degradation of the mechanical properties. The results allowed concluding that the studied materials present potential for industrial applications that require high mechanical performance and wear resistance ceramics.

La pyrolyse flash est un procédé attrayant pour convertir la biomasse lignocellulosique en bio-huiles, intermédiaires énergétiques potentiellement valorisables en biocarburants et/ou intermédiaires chimiques. L’émergence d’une telle filière requiert la mise au point d’une stratégie catalytique efficace et innovante qui permette de diminuer la teneur en oxygène des bio-huiles. Les mécanismes de pyrolyse ont lieu à la fois au sein de la biomasse - mécanismes primaires - et en phase gazeuse - mécanismes secondaires-. Par conséquent, notre démarche a consisté à tester si l’imprégnation d’un précurseur catalytique dans la biomasse permet d’agir sur les mécanismes primaires afin de favoriser la désoxygénation. Puis, nous avons cherché à favoriser le craquage catalytique des vapeurs de pyrolyse en utilisant un catalyseur hétérogène.Nos travaux montrent que la pyrolyse de biomasse imprégnée avec des sels de nitrates - Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn et Ce - favorise principalement la dépolymérisation de la cellulose aux dépens de sa fragmentation. En outre, la présence d’anions nitrate catalyse la formation d’anhydrosaccharides déshydratés, employés pour synthétiser des molécules complexes. Après pyrolyse, un support carboné contenant des nanoparticules métalliques est obtenu et peut être valorisé pour catalyser la désoxygénation de molécules modèles en phase vapeur. Néanmoins, l’activité catalytique de ces charbons est limitée par leur faible surface spécifique, comme le montre la comparaison avec un charbon actif commercial contenant des nanoparticules métalliques. Parmi les métaux testés, le catalyseur à base de cérine s’avère très efficace pour réduire l’acidité des bio-huiles et catalyser la formation de dérivés phénoliques. De plus, ce catalyseur de craquage catalytique permet de réduire la teneur en oxygène de l’huile de pyrolyse et d’augmenter sa densité énergétique. Ce résultat encourageant suggère que le craquage catalytique pourrait être mis en œuvre en complément de l’hydrodésoxygénation dans une filière de production de biocarburants. Cette alternative permet de réduire le coût de l’hydrodésoxygénation et notamment la consommation de dihydrogène. / Flash pyrolysis of biomass is seen as a new way to produce bio-oils which can be converted to biofuels and chemicals. However, development of such pyrolysis processes requires implementation of an efficient and innovative catalytic strategy to deoxygenate bio-oils. Pyrolysis mechanisms involve both biomass degradation reactions - primary mechanisms - and gas phase reactions - secondary mechanisms -. As a consequence, our work has been directed along two research lines. First, we tested whether impregnating a catalyst precursor in the biomass can act on the primary pyrolysis mechanisms in order to promote deoxygenation. Then we sought to enhance the catalytic cracking of pyrolysis vapours using a heterogeneous catalyst.Pyrolysis experiments of impregnated biomass show that metal nitrate salts - Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Ce – mainly enhance cellulose depolymerisation at the expense of its fragmentation. Moreover, nitrate anions inserted in biomass promote the production of dehydrated anhydrosugars which can be used to synthesize value-added molecules. Pyrolysis of impregnated biomass also results in the formation of a catalytically active charcoal containing metal nanoparticles. Those charcoals were successfully employed to catalyse the deoxygenation of model vapour phase compounds. However, it was found that the catalytic activity of these charcoals was limited by their low specific surface area, in comparison with the measured performance measured for commercially available activated charcoal containing metal nanoparticles. Among the tested metals, the ceria-based catalyst was found both to efficiently reduce bio-oil acidity and to enhance phenol yields. Additionally, this catalytic cracking catalyst reduces the oxygen content in the pyrolysis bio-oil and increases its heating value. This encouraging result suggests that catalytic vapour cracking could be integrated in a hydrodeoxygenation-based process to produce biofuels. This option should reduce the cost of hydrodeoxygenation and in particular the hydrogen consumption.

Les travaux de thèse présentés dans ce manuscrit ont porté sur l’élaboration et la caractérisation de poudres propulsives à sensibilités réduites. Ceci a été effectué par l’utilisation de matériaux énergétiques relativement insensibles ainsi que par l’emploi du procédé de Spray Evaporation Flash (SFE). Ce dernier a permis d’obtenir des poudres nanostructurées de composition ternaire. La caractérisation de ces poudres propulsives par spectroscopie Raman a permis de mettre en évidence le mécanisme de plastification de la nitrocellulose par les plastifiants employés. Des analyses de microscopie électronique à balayage ont été menées pour étudier la granulométrie de ces échantillons. Leur caractérisation par diffraction des rayons X a permis d’étudier leur structure et leur cristallisation. Des mesures de calorimétrie différentielle à balayage, des essais de tirs en tubes et en bombe manométrique, ainsi que des mesures de sensibilités à divers types de sollicitations, ont permis de montrer que les poudres obtenues sont particulièrement insensibles. / The PhD thesis presented in this manuscript focused on the elaboration and characterization of propellants with reduced sensitivities. This was accomplished by the use of relatively insensitive energetic materials, in conjunction with the application of the Spray Flash Evaporation (SFE) process. The latter made it possible to obtain nanostructured propellants of ternary composition.The characterization of these propellants by Raman spectroscopy revealed the mechanisms ruling the plasticization of nitrocellulose by the plasticizers used. Scanning electron microscopy analyzes were conducted to determine the particle size of these samples. Their characterization by X-ray diffraction allowed to study their structure and their crystallization. These propellants were shown to be particularly insensitive through analyses by differential scanning calorimetry,pyrotechnic tests in tubes and manometric vessels as well as sensitivity measurements to various types of solicitations.

Depuis quelques années, les mémoires non-volatiles de type Flash sont présentes dans un grand nombre de systèmes sur puce. La grande densité d'intégration et la complexité de leur procédé de fabrication rendent les mémoires Flash de plus en plus sujette aux défauts. La présence de défauts dans les mémoires est une des problématiques majeures. En effet, de tels défauts pourraient affecter le rendement, la rétention, l'endurance et donc la fiabilité des mémoires Flash. Cette thèse a porté sur l'analyse des mécanismes de défaillances, la modélisation des comportements fautifs et le développement de solution en vue d'améliorer le test des mémoires Flash. Dans ce contexte, nous avons proposé un modèle SPICE de la mémoire Flash TSTAC™ d'ATMEL. En comparaison avec l'état de l'art, le modèle SPICE proposé permet de simuler les opérations fonctionnelles de la mémoire de manière dynamique. Ce modèle a était utilisé pour effectuer des simulations d'injections de défauts réalistes pouvant affecter la matrice de la mémoire Flash TSTAC™. Ces simulations ont permis de prédire leurs comportements fautifs et de déterminer leurs modèles de fautes. D'autres types de simulations électriques effectuées à l'aide du modèle électrique ont permis de développer deux méthodes de caractérisation : la première permettant de détecter les variations d'épaisseur d'oxyde des cellules mémoires ; la deuxième méthode permet de caractériser la programmation par pulsation (pulse programming) et ainsi prédire la valeur du champ électrique durant l'écriture d'une cellule. / In recent years, non-volatile Flash memories have been widely used on system on chip. Their high integration density and complexity of manufacturing process make the Flash memory prone to defects. The defects in the memory are one of the major issues. They could affect the performance, retention, endurance, and therefore the reliability of Flash memories. This thesis was focused on the analysis of failure mechanisms, the faulty behavior modeling and the development of solution in order to improve the testing of Flash memories. In this work, we have proposed an electrical SPICE model of an ATMEL Flash memory. Compared with the state of art, the proposed model allows to simulate the static and dynamic behavior of the memory. This model is used to perform defect injection simulations affecting the Flash memories. These simulations are able to predict faulty behavior by fault modeling. Other types of electrical simulations highlight two characterization methods. The first one is able to detect the oxide thickness variations of the memory cells; the second one allows to characterize the programming pulse and then predict the electric field value during the programming of the cell.

Les matériaux à structures complexes (anisotropes, multicouches et hétérogènes comme poreux) sont de plus en plus utilisés dans de nombreuses applications (ex. automobile,aéronautique, industrie chimique, génie civil et biomédical), notamment en raison de leur amélioration des propriétés mécaniques et physiques. L’identification des propriétés thermophysiques de ces matériaux devient un enjeu incontournable dans plusieurs applications afin de prédire correctement l’évolution de la température au sein de ces structures et d’assurer le contrôle et la modélisation des transferts de chaleur au cours des processus. Dans ce contexte,l’identification des propriétés thermophysiques de tels matériaux, suscitent depuis de nombreuses années une préoccupation importante et croissante. La principale caractéristique de cette thèse concerne la mise en œuvre d’une méthode d’identification directe et simultanée des diffusivités thermiques de matériaux monocouches ou multicouches à l’aide d’un modèle3D transitoire analytique et d’une expérience unique et non intrusive. La méthode proposée est d’abord validée sur un matériau monocouche opaque et isotrope, puis appliquée et vérifiée sur un matériau orthotrope. La méthode d’identification est basée sur l’expérience bien connue de la méthode flash, qui utilise l’évolution de la température sur la face avant ou arrière de l’échantillon, enregistrée via une caméra infrarouge, pour identifier les paramètres inconnus. Compte tenu de la complexité et de la non-linéarité du problème inverse, un algorithme d’optimisation hybride couplant un algorithme stochastique (Optimisation par essaims particulaires) et un déterministe (de type gradient), a été choisi. L’estimation repose sur la minimisation de l’écart entre les mesures et la réponse d’un modèle semi-analytique inspiré de l’approche des quadripôles thermiques qui prédit l’évolution de la température sur la face avant ou la face arrière. L’excitation thermique, générée par un laser CO2, est représentée par un flux de chaleur localisé imposé qui peut être de type Dirac ou créneau. Les estimations sont comparées aux valeurs trouvées dans la littérature et aux résultats obtenus en utilisant d’autres méthodes bien établies. Enfin, quelques améliorations de la méthode sont étudiées, en termes de temps de calcul et de précision, avec une optimisation des conditions expérimentales241RÉSUMÉ(durée et intensité des créneaux, face de mesure. . . ). La méthode est ensuite généralisée aux matériaux multicouches, puis appliquée expérimentalement à un matériau bicouche. Cette stratégie, qui peut être considérée comme une tâche difficile, est motivée par l’impossibilité,dans certains cas, de séparer les 2 couches, en particulier pour les revêtements déposés sur des substrats, qui sera la dernière application investiguée dans ce travail. Une analyse de sensibilité est souvent effectuée afin de tester la faisabilité de l’estimation et de la comparaison,pour les matériaux à deux couches et multicouches, de plusieurs configurations possibles en termes de faces d’excitation/de mesures. La pré-évaluation des méthodes d’identification et les études paramétriques sont effectuées à l’aide de données synthétiques bruitées et obtenues à l’aide du modèle ou d’un code numérique d’éléments finis (pseudo-expérience) afin de vérifier la faisabilité et la robustesse des approches. L’une des caractéristiques les plus distinctes de cette approche est que l’estimation peut être réalisée, et avec succès, sans aucune connaissance préalable de la forme ou de l’intensité de l’excitation. En effet, outre l’estimation simultanée des diffusivités thermiques, la méthode peut prédire la quantité de chaleur absorbée parle matériau ainsi que la distribution spatiale de l’excitation thermique. / Advanced materials with complex structures (anisotropic, multilayers and heterogeneous like porous) are increasingly used in many applications, (e.g. automotive, aeronautics, chemical industry, civil and biomedical engineering) due to their advantages, in terms of mechanical and physical properties enhancements. Estimating thermophysical properties of such materials becomes a crucial issue in several applications in order to correctly predict temperature evolution inside these structures and to ensure the control and the modelling of heat transfers through the processes. In this context, the identification of such materials thermophysical properties, has taken from many years, a significant and increasing concern. The main feature of this thesis relies on the devolvement of a direct and simultaneous identification method of the thermal diffusivities of monolayer or multilayer materials using an analytical 3D transient model and a unique and non-intrusive experiment. The proposed method is firstly validated on an isotropic opaque monolayermaterial, then applied and verified on an orthotropic one. The identificationmethod is based on the well-known flash-method experiment whose temperature evolution on the front or rear face on the sample, recorded via an IR camera, is used to identify the unknown parameters. Considering the complexity, and the non-linearity of the inverse problem, a hybrid optimization algorithm combining a stochastic algorithm (Particles Swarm Optimization) and a deterministic one (gradient based), has been chosen. This minimization procedure is applied to fit the observation to the output of a pseudo- analytical model inspired from the thermal quadrupoles approach that predicts the temperature evolution on the front or rear face. The thermal excitation, generated by a CO2 laser, is mimicked by an imposed localized heat flux that may be of Dirac or pulse type. The estimations are compared with values from literature and results obtain from well-established methods. Finally, some improvement of the method are investigated, in terms of time consumption and accuracy, with an optimization of the experiment design (pulse time and intensity, measurement face). The method is then generalised to multi-layer materials, then applied experimentally to a two-layer material. This strategy, which can be considered as a challenging task, is motivated by the impossibility, in some cases, to separate the 2 layers, especially for coatings deposited on substrates which is the last application investigated in this work. A sensitivity analysis is often conducted in order to test the feasibility of the estimation and compare, for two-layer and multilayers materials, several possible configurations in terms of excitation/measurements faces. Pre-evaluation of the overall identification methods and parametric studies are performed using synthetic noisy data generated using the model or a numerical finite element code(pseudo-experiment) to verify the approaches feasibility and robustness. One of the most distinctive features of our approach is that the estimation may be successfully achieved without any a priori knowledge about the shape or the intensity of the excitation. Indeed, besides the simultaneous estimation of the thermal diffusivities, the method predicts the total amount of heat absorbed by the material as well as the space shape of the thermal excitation.

Flash memories are used as the main storage in many portable consumer electronic devices because they are more robust than hard drives. This document gives an overview of existing consumer flash memory technologies which are mostly removable flash memory cards. It discusses to which degree consumer flash devices are suitable for real-time systems and provides a detailed timing analysis of some consumer flash devices. Further, it describes methods to analyze mount times, access performance and timing predictability of flash memories. Important factors which influence access timings of flash memories are pointed out and different flash file systems are evaluated with regard to their suitability for real-time systems. Some remaining problems of existing flash file system implementations concerning real-time use are discussed.
