Ce manuscrit de thèse décrit la synthèse et la caractérisation d'ionomères conducteurs protoniques pour une application en tant que membrane pour pile à combustible. La stratégie adoptée pour la synthèse de ces polymères repose sur la polycondensation directe de monomères fonctionnels. Pour ce faire, et dans le cadre d'un travail important de chimie organique, la synthèse de trois monomères sulfonés ainsi que de trois monomères phosphonés a été réalisée. Différents polymères perfluorés (polyperfluorocyclobutane (PFCB) et polyaryléthers (PAE) (Polyétheréther cétone (PEEK) et Polysulfone (PS), ont été obtenus par polycondensation directe de ces monomères fonctionnalisés. Il a été possible de synthétiser des copolymères séquencés (à blocs) et comportant un ou deux types de fonctions conductrices protoniques. Afin d'établir d'éventuelles relations structure-propriété pour ces polymères et l'influence du solvant dans la morphologie de la membrane, une étude de la morphologie a été réalisée à partir de plusieurs séries de polymères PAE et leurs analogues « statistiques ». Les valeurs de conductivité des polymères à blocs sont, en général, supérieures à celles de leurs analogues « statistiques ». Un PAE obtenu est particulièrement intéressant, il possède à la fois une conductivité (216 mS.cm 1) nettement supérieure au Nafion® et un gonflement plus faible. Le polymère perfluoré (PFCB) obtenu est également très prometteur : la conductivité enregistrée pour ce ionomères est de 138 mS/cm. Ce travail de thèse est, à notre connaissance, le premier exemple de synthèse d'un PFCB sulfoné par polymérisation directe d'un monomère fonctionnel mais il constitue également le premier exemple de synthèse de poly(aryléther)s à blocs sulfonés / phosphonés par copolymérisation directe de deux types de monomères fonctionnels / This thesis describes the synthesis and characterization of proton conducting polymers for application as membrane for fuel cells (PEMFC). The approach for the synthesis of polymers consists in creating polymers from direct polycondensation of functional monomers, in order to better control their final IEC. Three sulphonated monomers and three phosphonated monomers have been first synthetized. Different types of polyarylethers (one of them is both sulphonated and phosphonated) and one perfluorinated polymer (PFCB) have been synthetised by direct polycondensation of functional monomers. In order to explain the influence of the solvent in the final morphology of the membrane, and the relation between its structure and properties, one morphological study has been realized to the obtained polymers but also to their analogues “statistical” polymers. In general, the blocks polymers obtained the highest values of conductivity. One polyarylether seems particularly interesting, because its conductivity value is much higher than Nafion®’s, and has a smaller swelling value. The perfluorinated polymer has also an interesting conductivity value (138 mS/cm). This thesis work is, to the best of our knowledge, the first example of the synthesis of a sulphonated PFCB obtained by direct polycondensation but also the first example of synthesis of a both sulfonated/phosphonated polyarylethers by direct copolymerisation of to types of functional monomers

In today's digital world, information and communication technology accounts for 3% and 2% of the global power consumption and CO2 emissions respectively. This alarming figure is on an upward trend, as future telecommunications systems and handsets will become even more power hungry since new services with higher bandwidth requirements emerge as part of the so called ¿future internet¿ paradigm. In addition, the mobile handset industry is tightly coupled to the consumer need for more sophisticated handsets with greater battery lifetime. If we cannot make any significant step to reducing the energy gap between the power hungry requirements of future handsets, and what battery technology can deliver, then market penetration for 4G handsets can be at risk. Therefore, energy conservation must be a design objective at the forefront of any system design from the network layer, to the physical and the microelectronic counterparts. In fact, the energy distribution of a handset device is dominated by the energy consumption of the RF hardware, and in particular the power amplifier design. Power amplifier design is a traditional topic that addresses the design challenge of how to obtain a trade-off between linearity and efficiency in order to avoid the introduction of signal distortion, whilst making best use of the available power resources for amplification. However, the present work goes beyond this by investigating a new line of amplifiers that address the green initiatives, namely green power amplifiers. This research work explores how to use the Doherty technique to promote efficiency enhancement and thus energy saving. Five different topologies of RF power amplifiers have been designed with custom-made signal splitters. The design core of the Doherty technique is based on the combination of a class B, class AB and a class C power amplifier working in synergy; which includes 90-degree 2-way power splitter at the input, quarter wavelength transformer at the output, and a new output power combiner. The frequency range for the amplifiers was designed to operate in the 3.4 - 3.6 GHz frequency band of Europe mobile WiMAX. The experimental results show that 30dBm output power can be achieved with 67% power added efficiency (PAE) for the user terminal, and 45dBm with 66% power added efficiency (PAE) for base stations which marks a 14% and 11% respective improvement over current stateof- the-art, while meeting the power output requirements for mobile WiMAX applications.

ITC/USA 2005 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-First Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2005 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / A conventionally designed radio frequency amplifier operated in its linear region exhibits low DC to RF conversion efficiency. Typically, for a power amplifier designed for digital modulation applications, the amplifier is operated “backed-off” from its P1dB point by a factor of 10 or -10 dB. The typical linear amplifier is biased for either Class A or Class A/B operation depending on the acceptable design trade-offs between efficiency and linearity between these two methods. A novel design approach to increasing the efficiency of a linear RF power amplifier using a modified Odd-Way Doherty technique is presented in this paper. The design was simulated, built and then tested. The design yields improvements in efficiency and linearity.

O exercício da profissão docente requer uma sólida formação, não apenas nos conteúdos científicos da disciplina, mas também nos aspectos correspondentes a sua didática e ao encaminhamento dos diferentes saberes que caracterizam a docência no ensino superior. A formação científica e pedagógica dos professores universitários é um dos fatores básicos na qualidade da universidade, pesquisas apontam que a maioria dos professores possuem lacunas na formação pedagógica. A Universidade de São Paulo USP, lócus desta pesquisa, institui em 1999 o Programa de Aperfeiçoamento de Ensino (PAE) para aprimorar a formação do estudante stricto sensu por meio de duas etapas: Preparação Pedagógica e Estágio Supervisionado em Docência. Dessa maneira o objetivo desse estudo é investigar se o Programa de Aperfeiçoamento de Ensino (PAE) tem-se constituído em espaço formativo para a docência superior a partir da análise das etapas de Preparação Pedagógica e Estágio Supervisionado em Docência. Para tanto, a coleta de dados ocorreu em diferentes momentos. No primeiro momento foram levantados os dados nos Programa de Pós-graduação Stricto Sensu da Faculdade de Educação (humanas), na Escola Politécnica (exatas) e na Escola de Enfermagem (biológicas) do Campus São Paulo Capital, no período de 2001 a 2011. No segundo momento e a partir dos dados coletados, um questionário foi enviado aos pós-graduandos que participaram das duas Etapas do PAE nos Programas investigados. De natureza qualitativa, o procedimento metodológico adotado foi o Estudo de Caso Único Integrado, seguidas da análise documental e análise de conteúdo. As análises apontaram que grande parte dos pós-graduandos, participantes do Programa PAE reconhecem: a ausência da formação pedagógica do professor universitário nos programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu, e identificam contribuições do PAE para o exercício da docência em ambas as etapas (Preparação Pedagógica e Estágio Supervisionado em Docência) possibilitando o aprimoramento e aprofundamento profissional. Com relação à Etapa de Preparação Pedagógica os dados revelam que o conjunto de conferências é a atividade mais procurada pelos alunos, seguida das disciplinas e do núcleo de atividades. Embora mais procurada, percebem o conjunto de conferências como uma proposta pouco efetiva para a formação docente. Quanto à Etapa do Estágio Supervisionado em Docência, os participantes, destacam ser este o verdadeiro momento de formação pedagógica, por proporcionar a reflexão sobre os saberes do campo pedagógico de maneira sistemática, organizada, os aproximando da realidade da sala de aula na graduação. Por fim, a conclusão deste estudo revela que o PAE representa na Universidade de São Paulo, um espaço de formação para a docência, entretanto, não explora todo seu potencial formativo. Ressaltamos a necessidade de sanar as ações isoladas que fragmentam e fragilizam a formação pedagógica do pós-graduando e, ainda, destacamos a urgência da criação de políticas institucionais e diretrizes específicas que tratem dessa formação no Programa PAE e consequentemente nos programas de pós-graduação da Universidade de São Paulo. / The professor professional practice requires a solid education, not only in the scientific discipline content but also in the aspects corresponding to its didactic and in the leading of different knowledge which characterizes teaching in higher education. The scientific and pedagogic education of university professors is one of the ground factors in the quality of the university; researches show that the majority of the professors show gaps in their pedagogic education. The University of São Paulo USP, lócus of this research, established in 1999 the Improvement Teaching Program (ITP) to perfect strictosensustudents education in two stages: Pedagogic Preparation and Supervised Internship in Teaching. As a result, the aim of this study is to investigate whether the Improvement Teaching Program (ITP) has been an educational environment to higher education professors considering the analysis of different stages (Pedagogic Preparation and Supervised Internship in Teaching). In order to do that,data collection occurred in two different instances. In a first instance, data collection was made from 2001 to 2011 in Education College StrictoSensuPost-Graduation Program (Humanities), Polytechnic School (Exact science) and Nursing School (Biological science), São Paulo campus capital. In a second instance, a questionnaire was sent to the students who participated in ITP in the above mentioned teaching unities. Concerning qualitative nature, the adopted methodological procedure was Case Study followed by the documental and content analysis.Analysis show that the great part of post-graduating, taking part in ITP Program acknowledge the lack of pedagogic education of university professor in strictosensupost-graduation programs and identified contributions of ITP for higher education practice in both stages (Pedagogic Preparation and Supervised Internship in Teaching), allowing the professional deepening and improvement. Concerning the Pedagogic Preparation, data reveals that the conference group is the activity which interested students the most, followed by the disciplines and by the activity nucleus. Although it was the one that interested students the most, they realize the conference group as a fairly effective proposal to teaching education. Regarding to Supervised Internship in Teaching, the participants highlighted it as the actual moment of pedagogic education as it provides reflection on the pedagogic field knowledge in a systematic and organized way approaching them to the reality of a classroom in graduation. All in all, the conclusion of this study reveals that ITP represents at University of São Paulo a higher education environment, however, it does not explore its formative potential. It is worth pointing out the need to resolve isolated actions that fragment and undermine the post-graduation pedagogic education, and the urgency of the creation of institutional and specific policies which addresses to this education at ITP Program and consequently in post-graduation programs of University of São Paulo.

Várzea é um ambiente rico, com solos férteis, que mantém abundantes recursos naturais. Ao longo da história da ocupação humana, a várzea desempenhou um papel central na economia da região Amazônica. Apesar da importância da região, a posse de terras de várzea sempre foi ambígua. Desde 2006, o governo criou 15 Projetos de Assentamento Agroextrativista (PAE) na região de várzea do Baixo Amazonas para regular a posse da terra e para incentivar o processo de participação comunitária na gestão dos recursos naturais. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é analisar o impacto trazido pela criação do PAE no ordenamento territorial e na gestão de recursos naturais da várzea. Os dados deste trabalho foram obtidos por meio de observação participante no campo, revisão da literatura, grupos focais e entrevistas com representantes das comunidades, entidades e órgãos responsáveis pela implementação dos PAEs. A área de estudo situa-se em dois Projetos de Assentamento Agroextrativistas da várzea do Baixo Amazonas nos Municípios de Santarém e Alenquer. 86% das comunidades dos PAEs analisadas tinham algum tipo de acordo de pesca comunitário que internamente regula o uso dos recursos de pesca nos lagos das comunidades. Das entrevistas com os líderes comunitários na região, 82% demonstrou insatisfação com o processo da implementação do PAE na região. Em relação ao Plano de Utilidade (PU), que define as normas do PAE, 33% consideram que as normas dificultam o desenvolvimento na várzea. Mas 77% dos entrevistados acreditam que o PU é necessário para o bom funcionamento do assentamento. Os maiores entraves à implementação do PAE apontados pelo estudo incluem a falta de diálogo entre a comunidade e as entidades governamentais como o INCRA - responsável pela implantação do PAE, a não entrega dos títulos de terra e a falta de definição em relação à ocupação da terra pelos criadores de gado na região. O processo de implementação dos PAEs enfraqueceu a autonomia organizacional das comunidades na gestão dos recursos naturais e não resolveu os problemas relacionados a regulamentação das terras de várzea. / Wetlands in the lower Amazon basin occupy approximately 800.000 km2, and the floodplains of the Amazon River and its larger tributaries represent approximately 40% of this total. Floodplain is a rich environment with fertile soils and abundant natural resources. Throughout the history of human occupation, the floodplain played a central role in the economy of the Amazon region. Despite the importance of the region, land ownership was always ambiguous in these areas. Since 2006, the Government created 15 Projects of Agro-extractive Settlement Project (PAE) in the region of the lower Amazon floodplain in order to regulate land ownership and to encourage the process of community participation in the management of natural resources. The main objective of this study is to analyse the impact brought by the creation of PAE in regional planning and governance of natural resources in the floodplain. The research data collection was through participant observation method in the field, literature review, focus groups and interviews with representatives of the communities, institutions and government bodies responsible for implementing of the PAEs. The study area is located in two Settlement Projects of the lower Amazon floodplain in the municipalities of Santarém and Alenquer. 86% of the communities of PAEs analysed had some sort of Community fishing agreement, which internally governed the use of fishery resources in lakes communities. Interviews with community leaders in the region, 82% showed dissatisfaction with the process of the implementation of PAE. Relative to the Utility Plan (PU), which defines the regulations of the PAE, 33% consider that the rules hinder the development of floodplains. However, 77% of respondents believe that the PU is necessary for the proper functioning of the settlement. The research pointed out that the major difficulties for the implementation of the Project include the lack of dialogue between the community and governmental entities as the INCRA - responsible for the implementation of PAE, the non-delivery of land titles and the lack of definition regarding the ranchers who occupy land in the region. The study also pointed out that the implementation process of the PAEs, besides not solving problems related to land occupation, weakened the organizational autonomy of communities in natural resource management of floodplains.
