This a muldisciplinary study with the objective of obtaining measurements of the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) diastolic diameter (Dd), systolic diameter (Ds), diastolic volume (Dv), systolic volume (Sv), ejection fraction (EF) and myocardial mass in Brazilians. One hundred and seven (54 men and 53 women, mean age of 43.4 ? 13.1 years) asymptomatic individuals without heart disease were submitted to cardiac magnetic resonance (cMR) studies using steady state free precession technique. The means and standard deviations of the parameters of the LV and RV were respectively: LVDD = 4,8 ? 0,5 cm; LVSD = 3,0?0,6 cm; LVDV = 128,4?29,6 ml; LVSV = 45,2?16,6 ml; LVEF = 65,5?6,3%; LV mass = 95,2?30,8.1 g; RVDD = 3,9?1,3 cm; RVSD = 2,5?0,5 cm; RVDV = 126,5?30,7 ml; RVSV = 53.6?18,4 ml; RVEF = 58.3?8,0.0% and RV mass = 26,1?6,1 g. The masses and volumes were significantly higher in men, except for the LVSV. The RV EF was significantly higher in women. There was inverse correlation between RV systolic volume and with age, being more significant in men. This study describes for the first time benchmarks for cardiac measurements obtained by CMR among asymptomatic Brazilians individuals without heart disease and demonstrated differences according to sex and age / N?o h? dados nacionais sobre medidas card?acas obtidas por Resson?ncia Magn?tica Card?aca (RMc). Esse trabalho multidisciplinar teve como objetivo obter medidas do di?metro diast?lico (Dd), di?metro sist?lico (Ds), volume diast?lico final (VdF), volume sist?lico final (VsF), fra??o de eje??o (FE) e da massa mioc?rdica dos ventr?culos esquerdo (VE) e direito (VD) em brasileiros. Cento e sete (107) indiv?duos, 54 homens e 53 mulheres, com idade m?dia de 43,4 ? 13,1 anos, assintom?ticos e sem cardiopatias, foram submetidos ? RMc, utilizando t?cnica de precess?o livre em estado de equil?brio. As m?dias e os desvios padr?es dos par?metros do VE e VD foram respectivamente: Dd VE = 4,8 ? 0,5 cm; Ds VE = 3,0 ? 0,6 cm; VdF VE = 128,4 ? 29,6 ml; VsF VE = 45,2 ? 16,6 ml; FEVE = 65,5 ? 6,3%; massa do VE = 95,2 ? 30,8 g; Dd VD = 3,9 ? 1,3 cm; Ds VD = 2,5 ? 0,5cm; VdF VD = 126,5 ? 30,7 ml; VsF VD = 53,6 ? 18,4 ml; FEVD = 58,3 ? 8,0% e massa do VD = 26,1 ? 6,1 g. As massas e volumes foram significativamente maiores nos homens, exceto para o VsF do VE. A fra??o de eje??o do VD foi significativamente maior nas mulheres. Houve correla??o significativa e inversa do Vs do VD com o aumento da idade, sendo mais significativo nos homens. Esse estudo descreve, pela primeira vez, medidas card?acas obtidas pela RMc em brasileiros, as quais revelam diferen?as de acordo com o sexo e a idade

Thus, by consequence of the demographic growth, observes the aggravation of an urbanization completely disordered and without infrastructure capable of guaranteeing rights and basic services to the population. In parallel, the dissemination of information, the valorization of human dignity, promoted by social welfare, and expectations of consumption aggravates the tensions among social actors, leading to the Theory of the Right to Development to worry about the (re)construction of cities. Before this reality, the Federal Constitution of 1988 proposed a participatory urban policy, grounded in the ideal of confrontation of social exclusion of a more comprehensive, represented by the principle of the social function of cities, which must be stratified into four inclusion?s central axes, namely: the social in the strict sense, the economic, the cultural and the policy. The Analysis of each of these dimensions, keeping the focus on reality and the Brazilian legal system, composes specific objectives of this work. Thus, through deductive research, with use of technique bibliographical and interdisciplinary, this dissertation aims to make connections between social function and development, proposing an analytical concept for the proposing an analytical concept for the principle of social function of cities, through the study of its basic elements. With this, purports to demonstrate how results, firstly, that the juridical study, to fully understand the process of marginalization, must maintain multidisciplinary perspective, own social sciences. Also aims to demonstrate that the dimensions of inclusion are formed by fundamental rights, individual and collective, of liberties and of social guarantees and that without respect to all of them there is no way to talk about implementation of urban development and nor, consequently, about inclusive cities. At the end, after checking the main legal instruments of urban policy that emphasize the community participation, provided for in the Statute of the Cities, and that potentiate the breakup of the circles of exclusion, the work want contribute to the clarification and the awaken to the importance of a new perspective democratic of development in the country, grounded in the appreciation of the individual for realization of modern management, decentralized and that, therefore, inserts the effective participation of urban communities in the acting of the State / A realidade dos pa?ses da Am?rica Latina aponta que a industrializa??o e a urbaniza??o s?o processos complementares, associados um ao outro. Por consequ?ncia do crescimento demogr?fico, nas ?ltimas d?cadas, observa-se de forma agravada, no Brasil, uma urbaniza??o completamente desordenada e destitu?da de infraestrutura, capaz de garantir direitos e servi?os b?sicos ? popula??o. Paralelamente, a difus?o da informa??o, a valoriza??o da dignidade humana, realizado pelo bem-estar social, e as expectativas de consumo aprofundam as tens?es entre os atores sociais, levando a Teoria do Direito ao Desenvolvimento a preocupar-se com a (re) constru??o de cidades. Perante essa realidade, a Constitui??o Federal de 1988 prop?s uma pol?tica urbana participativa, embasada no ideal de enfrentamento da exclus?o social de uma forma mais ampla, representada pelo princ?pio da fun??o social das cidades, o qual pode ser estratificado em quatro eixos centrais de inclus?o, a saber: a inclus?o social em sentido estrito, a econ?mica, a cultural e a pol?tica. A an?lise de cada uma dessas dimens?es, mantendo-se o enfoque na realidade e no ordenamento jur?dico brasileiro, comp?e os objetivos espec?ficos deste trabalho. Desse modo, por meio da pesquisa dedutiva, com uso de t?cnica bibliogr?fica e interdisciplinar, quer essa disserta??o realizar conex?es entre inclus?o e desenvolvimento, propondo um conceito anal?tico para o princ?pio da fun??o social das cidades, atrav?s do estudo de seus basilares elementos. Com isso, pretende demonstrar como resultados, primeiramente, que o estudo jur?dico, para compreender plenamente o processo de marginaliza??o, precisa manter a perspectiva pluridisciplinar, pr?pria das ci?ncias sociais. Tamb?m se almeja demonstrar que as dimens?es de inclus?o s?o formadas pelos direitos fundamentais, individuais e coletivos, de liberdades e de garantias sociais e que sem respeito a todos eles n?o h? como se falar em concretiza??o do desenvolvimento urbano e nem, por consequ?ncia, sobre cidades inclusivas. Ao final, ap?s verificar os principais instrumentos legais de pol?tica urbana que privilegiam a participa??o da comunidade, previsto no Estatuto das Cidades, e que potencializam o rompimento dos c?rculos de exclus?o, pretende o trabalho contribuir para o esclarecimento e o despertar para import?ncia de uma nova perspectiva democr?tica de desenvolvimento end?geno no pa?s, embasada na valoriza??o do indiv?duo para realiza??o de uma gest?o p?blica moderna, descentralizada e que, portanto, busque a participa??o efetiva das comunidades urbanas na atua??o estatal

Consumer protection as a fundamental right and the environment as the primacy of social order aims the welfare and social justice, as inserted right to the third dimension, are guarded by the State when it creates operational standards through public policies and indirectly intervenes in the economic order. This intervention is due to consumer protection and the environment are economic order principles, founded on free initiative and free competition, ensuring everyone a dignified existence which underlies the irradiation of fundamental rights in private initiative, before the commercial evaluation, mass consumption, the emergence of new technologies that link consumers to the environment before the protection of life, health and safety and ensuring a better quality of life for present and future generations. To repair this damage and the right to information are provided as fundamental rights that put the person at the epicenter of the relations and collective interest stands out against individual interests that to be done need public-private partnership. In such a way that the used methodology was an analysis of documents correlating them with bibliographic sources whose goals are to recognize the civil responsibility as limit to subjective right, having to develop a social function where guilt and risk grow distant and the damage is configured as a consequence of inherent risk, requiring the State interventional postures in fulfilling its public policy; prevailing in these risky activities the solidarity of those involved in the chain of production and socialization of damage forward those are provided directly of products of hazardous nature that put in a position of vulnerability the environment and the consumer / A responsabilidade civil da distribui??o e revenda de combust?vel decorre do fato da atividade empresarial desenvolvida ser de elevado risco, podendo se dizer como de risco inerente ou periculosidade latente, que tem a previsibilidade e normalidade como caracter?stica, colocando em posi??o de vulnerabilidade o consumidor, como o meio ambiente, ambos com pol?ticas p?blicas definidas e com prote??o constitucional. A prote??o do consumidor como direito fundamental e o meio ambiente como primado da ordem social tem como objetivo o bem-estar e justi?a social, inseridos como direito de terceira dimens?o, s?o resguardados pelo Estado quando cria normas de operacionaliza??o atrav?s das pol?ticas p?blicas e de forma indireta interv?m na ordem econ?mica.

Al?m disso, diferentemente do que ocorre para a maioria das t?cnicas num?ricas, cujo tempo necess?rio para a execu??o de simula??es tende a crescer exponencialmente ? medida que a complexidade do problema aumenta, no Monte Carlo, o aumento no tempo computacional tende a ser linear.

In addition, differently of what happens for most of numerical techniques, for which the associated simulations computational time tends to increase exponentially with the complexity of the problems, in the Monte Carlo the increase of the computational time tends to be linear. Nevertheless, the Monte Carlo solution is highly computer time consuming for most of the interest problems. The Multispectral Energy Bundle model allows the reduction of the computational time associated to the Monte Carlo solution. The referred model is here analyzed for applications in media constituted for nonparticipating species and water vapor, which is an important emitting species formed during the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. Aspects related to computer time optimization are investigated the model solutions are compared with benchmark line-by-line solutions

Os modelos que mais recebem aten??o na literatura s?o aqueles de natureza est?tica, ou tamb?m conhecidos por ensembles. Dos algoritmos que fazem parte dessa classe, destacam-se os m?todos que utilizam reamostragem dos dados de treinamento: Bagging, Boosting e Multiboosting. A escolha do tipo de arquitetura e dos componentes a serem recrutados n?o ? uma tarefa trivial, e tem motivado, ainda mais, o surgimento de novas propostas na tentativa de se construir tais modelos de forma autom?tica e, muitas delas, s?o baseadas em m?todos de otimiza??o. Muitas dessas contribui??es n?o t?m apresentado resultados satisfat?rios quando aplicadas a problemas mais complexos ou de natureza distinta. Em contrapartida, a tese aqui apresentada prop?e tr?s novas abordagens h?bridas para constru??o autom?tica em ensembles de classificadores: Incremento de Diversidade, Fun??o de Avalia??o Adaptativa e Meta-aprendizado para a elabora??o de sistemas de configura??o autom?tica dos par?metros de controle para os modelos de ensemble. Na primeira abordagem, ? proposta uma solu??o que combina diferentes t?cnicas de diversidade em um ?nico arcabou?o conceitual, na tentativa de se alcan?ar n?veis mais elevados de diversidade em ensemble, e com isso, melhor o desempenho de tais sistemas.

E por fim, a ?ltima abordagem, que prop?e uma nova t?cnica de recomenda??o de arquitetura e componentes base em ensemble, via t?cnicas de meta-aprendizado tradicional e multirr?tulo. De forma geral os resultados s?o animadores, e corroboram com a tese de que ferramentas h?bridas s?o uma poderosa solu??o na constru??o de ensembles eficazes em problemas de classifica??o de padr?es / Significant advances have emerged in research related to the topic of Classifier Committees. The models that receive the most attention in the literature are those of the static nature, also known as ensembles. The algorithms that are part of this class, we highlight the methods that using techniques of resampling of the training data: Bagging, Boosting and Multiboosting. The choice of the architecture and base components to be recruited is not a trivial task and has motivated new proposals in an attempt to build such models automatically, and many of them are based on optimization methods. Many of these contributions have not shown satisfactory results when applied to more complex problems with different nature. In contrast, the thesis presented here, proposes three new hybrid approaches for automatic construction for ensembles: Increment of Diversity, Adaptive-fitness Function and Meta-learning for the development of systems for automatic configuration of parameters for models of ensemble. In the first one approach, we propose a solution that combines different diversity techniques in a single conceptual framework, in attempt to achieve higher levels of diversity in ensembles, and with it, the better the performance of such systems. In the second one approach, using a genetic algorithm for automatic design of ensembles. The contribution is to combine the techniques of filter and wrapper adaptively to evolve a better distribution of the feature space to be presented for the components of ensemble. Finally, the last one approach, which proposes new techniques for recommendation of architecture and based components on ensemble, by techniques of traditional meta-learning and multi-label meta-learning. In general, the results are encouraging and corroborate with the thesis that hybrid tools are a powerful solution in building effective ensembles for pattern classification problems.

Nesse sentido, investiga as configura??es lingu?stico-textuais dessas vers?es, com o objetivo de identificar diferen?as consider?veis entre elas e implica??es na atribui??o de sentido de uma e de outra. A B?blia ? um livro com influ?ncia hist?rica e sua import?ncia n?o se limita somente ? esfera religiosa, sendo tamb?m considerada, por muitos, como uma obra de alto valor liter?rio. Ela continua em plena e ampla circula??o no contexto hist?rico-religioso-cultural do mundo de hoje. Al?m disso, esse livro re?ne aspectos discursivos e lingu?stico-textuais importantes a serem investigados, especialmente, se considerado o fato de podermos confrontar suas diferentes tradu??es. Das duas vers?es b?blicas (ARC e NTLH), interessam-nos particularmente tr?s g?neros discursivos distintos (poema, par?bola e ep?stola), sendo cinco textos de cada vers?o, o que resulta num total de dez textos. A esse respeito, consideramos, ainda, as variadas sequ?ncias tipol?gicas envolvidas na organiza??o dos g?neros discursivos selecionados, observando se a predomin?ncia de uma dessas sequ?ncias implica maior ou menor facilidade/dificuldade de compreens?o. Utilizamos, tamb?m, como suporte de an?lise, protocolos de leitura de informantes diversificados, levando em considera??o o credo religioso, o grau de escolaridade e a faixa et?ria, a fim de verificar se as diferen?as formais dos textos escolhidos e o perfil social dos leitores motivam poss?veis altera??es no processo de compreens?o textual. Para a realiza??o da an?lise, tomamos como suporte te?rico-metodol?gico a Lingu?stica Funcional Centrada no Uso (ou Lingu?stica Cognitivo-Funcional), a qual aglutina contribui??es da tradi??o funcionalista norte-americana e da Lingu?stica Cognitiva. / This paper analyses the texts of two distinct versions of the protestant Bible, namely: Almeida, Revista e Corrigida (ARC) and Nova Tradu??o na Linguagem de Hoje (NTLH). In this sense, it investigates the linguistic-textual configurations of such versions with the aim of identifying relevant differences between them and the implications for attribution of meaning between the first and the latter. The Bible is a book of historic influence and its importance is not limited only to the religious realm, but is also considered by many as a work of high literary value. It currently remains in full and wide circulation in the historic, religious and cultural contexts. Furthermore, this book gathers important discursive and textual-linguistic aspects worthy of investigation, especially, if the fact of contrasting its different versions is considered. From the two biblical versions (ARC and NTLH), three distinct discursive genres are of interest (poem, parable and epistle), with five texts from each version, resulting in a total of ten texts. In this sense, we are also interested in the various typological sequences involved in the organization of the discursive genres selected, observing if the predominance of such sequences implies in greater or lesser facility/difficulty of comprehension. We also utilized as a support for analysis the reading protocols of diverse informants, taking into consideration the religious beliefs, the level of education and age, with an aim to verify if the formal differences of the selected texts and the social profile of readers could cause possible changes to the process of text comprehension. To carry out the analysis, we used Usage-Based Linguistics (or Cognitive-Functional Linguistics) as a theoreticalmethodological support, which encompasses contributions from the North American functional tradition and cognitive linguistics.

Specifically, the hybrid technique uses the equivalent circuit method in conjunction with genetic algorithm, aiming at the synthesis of structures with response single-band and dual-band. The equivalent circuit method allows you to model the structure by using an equivalent circuit and also obtaining circuits for different geometries. From the obtaining of the parameters of these circuits, you can get the transmission and reflection characteristics of patterned structures. For the optimization of patterned structures, according to the desired frequency response, Matlab? optimization tool named optimtool proved to be easy to use, allowing you to explore important results on the optimization analysis. In this thesis, numeric and experimental results are presented for the different characteristics of the analyzed geometries. For this, it was determined a technique to obtain the parameter N, which is based on genetic algorithms and differential geometry, to obtain the algebraic rational models that determine values of N more accurate, facilitating new projects of FSS with these geometries. The optimal results of N are grouped according to the occupancy factor of the cell and the thickness of the dielectric, for modeling of the structures by means of rational algebraic equations. Furthermore, for the proposed hybrid model was developed a fitness function for the purpose of calculating the error occurred in the definitions of FSS bandwidths with transmission features single band and dual band. This thesis deals with the construction of prototypes of FSS with frequency settings and band widths obtained with the use of this function. The FSS were initially reviewed through simulations performed with the commercial software Ansoft Designer ?, followed by simulation with the equivalent circuit method for obtaining a value of N in order to converge the resonance frequency and the bandwidth of the FSS analyzed, then the results obtained were compared. The methodology applied is validated with the construction and measurement of prototypes with different geometries of the cells of the arrays of FSS.

This is particularly due to the great variety of geometries and because they are easily built and integrated to other high frequency devices and circuits. This work presents a study of the properties of the microstrip antenna with an aperture impressed in the conducting patch. Besides, the analysis is performed for isotropic and anisotropic dielectric substrates. The Multiport Network Model MNM is used in combination with the Segmentation Method and the Greens function technique in the analysis of the considered microstrip antenna geometries. The numerical analysis is performed by using the boundary value problem solution, by considering separately the impedance matrix of the structure segments. The analysis for the complete structure is implemented by choosing properly the number and location of the neighboor element ports. The numerial analysis is performed for the following antenna geometries: resonant cavity, microstrip rectangular patch antenna, and microstrip rectangular patch antenna with aperture. The analysis is firstly developed for microstrip antennas on isotropic substrates, and then extended to the case of microstrip antennas on anisotropic substrates by using a Mapping Method. The experimental work is described and related to the development of several prototypes of rectangular microstrip patch antennas wtih and without rectangular apertures. A good agreement was observed between the simulated and measured results. Thereafter, a good agreement was also observed between the results of this work and those shown in literature for microstrip antennas on isotropic substrates. Furthermore, results are proposed for rectangular microstrip patch antennas wtih rectangular apertures in the conducting patch / As antenas de microfita s?o estruturas muito utilizadas nos sistemas de telecomunica??es atuais. Isto decorre, principalmente, da diversidade de configura??es e da facilidade de constru??o e integra??o dessas antenas com outros dispositivos e circuitos de altas freq??ncias. Neste trabalho, o m?todo de an?lise empregado ? o Modelo de Circuito de M?lti-Porta (Multiport Network Model MNM), que combinado com o M?todo da Segmenta??o e a t?cnica da Fun??o de Green, mostra-se adequado ao estudo da antena de microfita com abertura no patch condutor. A partir do equacionamento do problema do valor de contorno, ? ent?o realizada uma an?lise num?rica que consiste em avaliar a estrutura da antena considerada a partir da integra??o dos elementos em que ela foi dividida. Nessa an?lise, os elementos s?o representados por matrizes de imped?ncia e a integra??o ? implementada atrav?s de portas de circuitos adequadamente escolhidas em n?mero e posicionamento. Na an?lise num?rica, foram consideradas as seguintes estruturas: a cavidade ressonante, a microfita com patch retangular convencional (sem abertura) e a microfita com patch retangular com abertura. A an?lise foi efetuada para substratos isotr?picos e estendida para o caso de antenas com substratos anisotr?picos uniaxiais atrav?s do M?todo do Mapeamento. S?o apresentados resultados para a freq??ncia de resson?ncia e para a imped?ncia de entrada de antenas de microfita. A parte experimental do trabalho consistiu no projeto, constru??o e medi??o de v?rios prot?tipos de antenas de microfita com patches retangulares com e sem abertura. Observou-se que os resultados obtidos, atrav?s da simula??o num?rica, apresentaram uma boa concord?ncia com os das medi??es efetuadas. Os resultados deste trabalho, tamb?m, concordaram com os resultados de outros autores, dispon?veis na literatura
