Para tanto, se faz necessário ter critérios de avaliação consistentes e fidedignos ao desempenho do avaliado e considerar na análise aspectos qualitativos e quantitativos. Entre os indicadores de impacto presentes na literatura científica, destaca-se o índice h, proposto por Jorge Hisch em 2005, considerado um parâmetro avaliativo robusto por avaliar de forma simultânea os aspectos relativos à produtividade e ao impacto científico do avaliado. Apesar de ser uma medida simples de ser obtida e de seu desempenho ter se mostrado o mais significativo na representação do desempenho científico de um pesquisador, diversos trabalhos subsequentes apontam suas deficiências e limitações e propõem variações no intuito de minimizar ou dirimir os problemas e apontados. Neste contexto, esta Tese teve por objetivo analisar o índice h, suas propriedades, variações e ponderações e propor dois novos indicadores complementares ao índice h, denominados índices dci e dco, dedicados a medir a dispersão do índice h. Tem-se por hipótese que esses novos índices podem contribuir para avaliar a representatividade do índice h como indicador do impacto científico acumulado de um pesquisador e distinguir, de forma mais precisa, pesquisadores seletivos e produtivos. Além disso, contribui para estimar a possibilidade de o autor avaliado incrementar seu índice h, por meio da análise da dispersão do número de citações contidas no h-core e também fora dele. Para verificar a validade dos indicadores como medidas de dispersão, tomou-se como universo de análise o conjunto de 20 autores mais produtivos na revista Scientometrics, no período de 35 anos (1980-2014), equivalente à publicação de ao menos 20 artigos científicos. Considerou-se um segundo universo de análise, em âmbito brasileiro, relativo aos 116 pesquisadores com bolsa produtividade em Pesquisa Qualis1 (PQ1) em Matemática, e compararam-se o índice h, alguns indicadores do tipo h presentes na literatura e os índices dci e dco. Para ambos universos, levantaram-se na base Scopus, para cada pesquisador, o total de artigos publicados, o número de citações por artigo e o ano de publicação. A partir dos dados levantados, calcularam-se os índices de cada investigador. Conclui-se que, em ambas situações, os indicadores cientométricos (h e índices do tipo h), complementam-se e auxiliam na identificação de autores com alta produtividade em uma temática. As medidas de dispersão dci e dco mostraram-se capazes de caracterizar fidedignamente a dispersão do desempenho do pesquisador em torno do seu índice h e, consequentemente, a pertinência da representatividade desse índice como indicador do desempenho científico do pesquisador avaliado. Tais medidas de dispersão permitiram, ainda, distinguir de forma mais precisa o desempenho dos pesquisadores de um mesmo campo científico. / Knowing the scientific performance of a researcher, thematic, discipline, area of knowledge or country is an essential activity to subsidize and guide institutional or governmental scientific policies. Therefore, it is necessary to have consistent and reliable evaluation criteria for the performance of the evaluated and to consider qualitative and quantitative aspects in the analysis. Among the impact indicators present in the scientific literature, the h-index, proposed by Jorge Hisch in 2005, stands out as a robust evaluation parameter for simultaneously evaluating aspects related to productivity and to scientific impact of the evaluated researcher. Although h-index is a simple measure to obtain and its performance has been the most significant in the representation of the scientific performance of a researcher, several subsequent works pointed out their deficiencies and limitations and proposed variations in order to minimize or solve the problems. In this context, this Thesis aimed to analyze the h-index, its properties, variations and weights and propose two new complementary indicators to the h-index, called indexes dci and dco, dedicated to measure the dispersion of the h-index. It is hypothesized that these new indexes can contribute to evaluate the representativeness of the h-index as an indicator of the cumulative scientific impact of a researcher and to distinguish, more accurately, selective and productive researchers. In addition, it contributes to estimate the possibility of the evaluated author increasing his h-index by analyzing the dispersion of the number of citations contained in the h-core and also outside it. To verify the validity of the indicators as measures of dispersion, it was taken the group of 20 most productive authors of the Scientometrics journal, in the 35-year period (1980-2014), equivalent to the publication of at least 20 scientific articles. It was considered a second universe of analysis, in the Brazilian context, related to the 116 researchers with productivity scholarship in Qualis1 Research (PQ1) in Mathematics, and it were compared the h-index, some indicators of type h present in the literature and the indices dci and dco. For both universes, the total number of articles published, the number of citations per article and the year of publication were raised in the Scopus database for each researcher. From the data collected, the indices of each researcher were calculated. In conclusion, in both situations, the cientificometric indicators (h and h-type indices) complement and assist in the identification of authors with high productivity in a thematic. The dci and dco dispersion measures were able to reliably characterize the dispersion of the researcher's performance around his h-index and, consequently, the pertinence of the representativeness of this index as an indicator of the scientific performance of the evaluated researcher. These dispersion measures also allowed to distinguish in a more accurate way the performance of the researchers of the same scientific field.

Les architectures mixtes contenant des composants programmables et d'autres reconfigurables peuvent fournir les performances de calcul nécessaires pour satisfaire les contraintes imposées aux applications temps réel. Mais l'implantation et d'optimisation de ces applications temps réel sur ce type d'architectures est une tâche complexe qui prend un temps énorme. Dans ce contexte, nous proposons un outil de prototypage rapide visant ce type d'architectures. Cet outil se base sur une extension que nous proposons de la méthodologie Adéquation Algorithme Architecture (AAA). Il permet d'effectuer automatiquement le partitionnement et l'ordonnancement optimisés des opérations de l'application sur les composants de l'architecture cible et la génération automatique des codes correspondants. Nous avons utilisé cet outil pour l'implantation de l'estimateur de mouvement de la norme H.264/AVC sur une architecture composée d'un processeur NIOS II d'Altera et d'un FPGA Stratix III. Ainsi nous avons pu vérifier le bon fonctionnement de notre outil et validé notre générateur automatique de code mixte / Mixed architectures containing programmable devices and reconfigurable ones can provide calculation performance necessary to meet constraints of real-time applications. But the implementation and optimization of these applications on this kind of architectures is a complex task that takes a lot of time. In this context, we propose a rapid prototyping tool for this type of architectures. This tool is based on our extension of the Adequacy Algorithm Architecture methodology (AAA). It allows to automatically perform optimized partitioning and scheduling of the application operations on the target architecture components and generation of correspondent codes. We used this tool for the implementation of the motion estimator of the H.264/AVC on an architecture composed of a Nios II processor and Altera Stratix III FPGA. So we were able to verify the correct running of our tool and validate our automatic generator of mixed code

Le radiomarquage de molécules d’intérêt avec des isotopes radioactifs est d'un grand intérêt pour la communauté scientifique, car il influe fortement sur le processus de découverte dans les sciences de la vie et en médecine nucléaire. Les molécules radiomarquées ont été largement utilisées pour évaluer les réactions biochimiques, pour mesurer la distribution in vivo d'une substance ou pour réaliser des tests RIA (RadioImmunoAssay). En médecine nucléaire, des radiopharmaceutiques pour la thérapie par ra-dio-isotopes (RIT) et des radiotraceurs pour des expériences d'imagerie telles que la TEP (tomographie par émission de positons), la tomographie par émission monophotonique (TEMP) ou la scintigraphie ont été décrites. Plusieurs isotopes de l'iode peuvent être utilisés à la fois pour le diagnostic et le traite-ment : 123I pour l'imagerie TEMP, 124I pour la TEP, 125I pour l'analyse biologique et 131I pour la radio-thérapie et la scintigraphie.Les méthodes classiques de radio-iodation reposent sur l'utilisation d'un précurseur pré-fonctionna-lisé, qui doit être synthétisé, isolé et purifié avant d'être introduit à l'étape de radio-iodation. La méthode par radioiododéstannylation est la méthode la plus populaire, bien que les précurseurs stannylés soient connus pour leur synthèse difficile et leur toxicité. Le développement de nouvelles méthodes de radio-iodation représente donc un grand intérêt dans le domaine de la radiochimie.Sur la base de travaux antérieurs, notre groupe a mis au point une méthode de radio-iodation de N-acylsulfonamides au moyen d’une radio-iodation C-H médiée par le palladium à température ambiante. Cette stratégie originale permet le radiomarquage de molécules d’intérêt dans des conditions très douces sans utiliser de précurseurs chimiques.Sur la base de la littérature, notre groupe développe actuellement une nouvelle méthode de radio-iodation de dérivés d’arylsilanes par radioiododésilylation dans des conditions douces. Cette méthodo-logie générale permet pour le moment le radiomarquage de dérivés d'arylsilanes activés en conditions douces. / Labeling of (bio)molecules with radioactive isotopes is of high interest to for the scientific commu-nity, as it strongly impacts the discovery process in life science and nuclear medicine. Radiolabeled molecules have been extensively used to assess biochemical reactions, to measure in vivo distribution of a substance or to preform RIA (RadioImmunoAssay). In nuclear medicine, radio-therapeutics for RIT (RadioIsotope Therapy) and radio-tracers for molecular imaging experiments such as PET (Positron Emission Tomography), SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) or scintigraphy have been described. Several useful isotopes of iodine can be used for both diagnosis and therapy: 123I for SPECT imaging, 124I for PET imaging, 125I for biological assays and 131I for radio-therapy and scintig-raphy.Classical methods of radioiodination methods use a prefunctionalized precursor, which must be syn-thesized, isolated and purified before being introduced to the radio-iodination step. The radioiodode-stannylation method is the most popular method, although stannylated precursors are known for their difficult synthesis and their toxicity. The development of new methods of radioiodination is therefore of great interest in the field of radiochemistry.Based on a previous work, our group has developed a method to radio-iodinate N-acylsulfonamides through a room temperature palladium mediated C-H radio-iodination. This original strategy allows radiolabeling of biomolecules in very mild conditions without the use of chemical precursors.Based on literature, our group is now developping a new method to radio-iodinate arylsilyl derivates through radioiododesilylation in mild conditions. This general methodology allows for the moment the radiolabeling of activated arylsilyl derivates in mild conditions.

This work is focused on robust control theory especially on methods H and analysis (structured singular value). The first part of the thesis contains theoreticle background to uncertainty modeling, to robust controller designs and to permanent magnet synchronous machine modeling. The second part presents concrette robust controller design which is tested in simulations and validated on a real motor. The influence of parameter changes on stability of closed loop system is discussed and description of obtained results is given in conclusions.

The thesis ,,DC motor control by PLC Simatic S7-1200“ focuses on the control of the DC motor using the programmable automatic machine PLC Simatic S7_1200 CPU1214C, designed by the German company Siemens, generating the PWM signal. The PWM is processed by the integrated circuit called the H-Bridge, which subsequently controls the DC motor.

Salinity is a critical challenge facing productivity of crops around the world, causing major reduction in growth, yield, and quality. It is necessary to produce varieties with the ability to tolerate salinity. However, the lack of genetic variation among H. vulgare genotypes prevents progress in developing salt tolerant varieties. H. bulbosum is a source of tolerance to stress conditions. Consequently, five accessions of domestic barley and six of wild barley were used in this study. Accessions were screened for salinity tolerance. Genotypes 7, 9, and 10 germinated at 2% NaCl. Lines of H. vulgare showed reduction of root and shoot length greater than H. bulbosum. Crosses were made between diploid and tetraploid H. vulgare ♀ and tetraploid H. bulbosum ♂. Immature embryos were rescued. Murashige and Skoog medium was found to be generally better for most crosses. Number of successful crosses varied among families. Female 5, for diploid crosses, and female 2, for tetraploid crosses, have high GCA and compatibility with bulbosum males, and 17.9% and 17.6% of their progeny exceeding the mean grain yield, respectively. Parent 9 had also high GCA and compatibility with vulgare parents (2x), and its progeny seem to exceed the mean in many cases with most families. During germination screening, progeny of diploid females 1 and 2 were found to be highly desirable for saline tolerance. Among the tetraploid crosses, Family 1 had greatest percentage of superior progeny (18.8%), while Families 2 and 3 had greatest number of superior individuals (8 and 7, respectively). For seedling growth, diploid Families 2 and 3 crosses had the greatest shoot dry weight and tolerant saline index (SSI<1). Families 2 and 4 of tetraploid crosses had 12 of 39 and eight of 26 crosses show greatest shoot dry weight and tolerance as measured by SSI, respectively. Final germination percentage (FG%) showed positive association with plant height, while associating negatively with tiller number, fertility, cSW, and grain yield. In diploid crosses, FG% associated positively with tiller number. Shoot dry weight showed negative association with plant height, while it associated positively with tiller number, fertility, cSW, and grain yield.
