Esta pesquisa consistiu na verificação do comportamento do reator UASB de bancada (volume igual a 10,5 litros), quando submetido a variações senoidais de vazão afluente, comparando-se com a eficiência no seu funcionamento com vazão constante, através de análises de amostras de afluentes e efluentes. O reator UASB utilizado foi montado no Laboratório de Processos Biológicos da EESC-USP dentro de uma câmara com temperatura constante de 30 ± 3°C, e alimentado com esgoto sintético, com DQO de 500 mg/l, 750 mg/l e 1000 mg/l. O reator foi inoculado em abril de 1999, com 3,5 litros de lodo anaeróbio proveniente de um reator compartimentado, também situado na EESC-USP. Devido à dificuldade de atingir um valor esperado para a eficiência de remoção de Matéria orgânica, foi dada nova partida no reator, em julho de 1999, desta vez com lodo proveniente de outro UASB. Após a segunda partida, o reator operou com vazão constante e DQO afluente em torno de 500 mg/l até setembro de 1999, com média de remoção de DQO bruta de 75% no período, passando-se, então, à fase de variação senoidal de vazão de forma que o máximo e o mínimo fossem de ±30%, ±45% e ±60% da vazão média. Para este regime, obteve-se 80% de eficiência média de remoção de DQO bruta. Os valores de pH, alcalinidade e ácidos voláteis foram praticamente constantes durante a operação. Os perfis de remoção de DQO ao longo do dia mostraram uma pequena queda na eficiência do reator, aproximadamente 1,5 vezes o tempo de detenção hidráulica médio (8 horas), após os máximos de vazão para o regime de variação de vazão de ±30% e ±45% e 2,5 vezes o tempo de detenção hidráulica médio, para variação e ±60%. O mesmo experimento foi repetido para DQO afluente de 1000 mg/l e obteve-se, em média, eficiências de 65% de remoção de DQO. / This research consisted in the UASB reactor performance verification when it was submitted to sine-based variations of loading rate, in comparison to its normal operation. The UASB reactor used was set up at the Biological Process Laboratory of EESC-USP, inside a camera with temperature of 30°C ± 3°C. It was fed with synthetic sewage (COD = 500, 750 and 1000 mg/l). After start-up, the reactor was operated with constant loading rate (COD = 500 mg/l) until September 1999. The organic matter removal average in this period was 75%. Then, it was initiated the phase of sine-based variation loading rate (±30%, ±45% and ±60%). In this regime, it was obtained a medium gross COD removal efficiency of 80%. The pH values, alkalinity and volatile acids were practically constant during the operation. The COD removal profiles during the day showed a subtle fall in the reactor efficiency after 1.5 times the medium hydraulic detection time, for the loading rate variation of ±30% and ±45%. For ±60% variation, the answer time was approximately 2.5 times the medium hydraulic detection time. The efficiency of gross COD removal stay however over 78,53% until the experiment 9, witch showed that the reactor can stand the loading rate variations. The efficiency of filtered COD removal decreased on the second experiment, came back to the initial values and decreased again. The values of variation didn\'t surpass 6,6% for gross COD and 8,43% for filtered COD.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Claudia Pereira dos Santos.pdf: 3633908 bytes, checksum: 53c49eccd89089c7294f74324e759e64 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-10-18 / Secretaria da Educação do Estado de São Paulo / The objective of this research is to contribute with the study of sine function by situations that involve the use of computer in a connection between Mathematics and Physics. This dissertation directs to investigate how a pedagogical strategy presented by a sequences of activities using the software Winplot, may promote the learning of sine function for the students in high school (second year in Brazil). Furthermore, it is a way to verify if there is a possibility to contribute in the comprehension of a physical-mathematical context. The Theory of the Didactical Situations developed by Guy Brousseau (1986) as well as the Theory of Semiotic Registries developed by Raymond Duval (2003) supported this research. The Didactical Engineering by Michèlle Artigue (1988) was the methodology research used. The students were proposed five sequences of activities. The one called Part I investigates the previous knowledge the students had in relation to the polynomial functions among them the ones with degrees one and two, constant and sine. In the activity called Part II, students used the software Winplot to build the graphs and analyze the changings promoted by the coefficients and the independent term for the function of degree two. In the activities called Part III and Part IV, the students analyzed the characteristics of sine function like amplitude, domain, range and period. For doing that, they built the graphs using the software Winplot. In the last activity called Part V, the students we supposed to observe the connection between Physics and Mathematics. This connection have been showed by a sequence of activities taken down from a material called Student Notebooks of Physics that brings the study of sound waves being associated with the sine function. Some difficulties of the students in the conversion from the algebraic register to the natural language register and vice versa even as the conversion from the graph register to the algebraic register and vice versa were observed. As a result, it was possible to notice that the proposed sequence of activities with the use of software Winplot can contribute to the comprehension of the students if the subject has a connection with another one. In the case of this sequence, this connection happens between wave sounds (Physics) and sine function (Mathematics) / Esta pesquisa visa contribuir para o estudo da função seno em situações que envolvam o uso do computador em atividades voltadas à Matemática e à Física. O objetivo da dissertação é investigar de que modo uma estratégia pedagógica apresentada na forma de sequências de atividades, com o uso do software Winplot, pode promover a aprendizagem da função seno para o aluno da 2ª série do ensino médio e ainda se pode contribuir na compreensão em um contexto físico-matemático. A pesquisa está apoiada na Teoria das Situações Didáticas de Guy Brousseau (1986), na Teoria dos Registros de Representação Semiótica de Raymond Duval (2003) e como metodologia a Engenharia Didática de Michèle Artigue (1988). Foram aplicadas cinco sequências de atividades, sendo que a atividade parte I investiga os conhecimentos prévios dos alunos com relação à identificação das funções polinomial do 1º grau, polinomial do 2º grau, constante e seno. Na atividade parte II os alunos utilizam o software Winplot para a construção e análise da função polinomial do 2º grau, assim como, as alterações nos coeficientes e no termo independente. As atividades parte III e IV abordaram a função seno e suas características como amplitude, domínio, imagem, período e os alunos utilizaram o software Winplot para a construção dos gráficos. Por fim na atividade parte V buscou-se a integração com a disciplina de Física e utilizou-se uma sequência do Caderno do Aluno de Física que aborda o estudo de ondas sonoras, por meio desta, propôs-se integrar com a função seno. As dificuldades dos alunos nas conversões do registro algébrico para o registro na língua natural e vice-versa, do registro gráfico para o registro algébrico e vice-versa foram constatadas. E nas análises, indicadas as competências e habilidades presentes nas sequências de atividades, assim como, aquelas que precisam ser mais trabalhadas com os estudantes conforme o PCNEM (1999). Os resultados indicam que as sequências de atividades com uso do software Winplot contribui para a compreensão dos alunos e facilita no aprendizado do estudante, se o conteúdo abordado estiver integrado a outro, no caso, ondas sonoras (Física) e função seno (Matemática)

<p>The general aim of this thesis was to investigate phonological processing skills in dyslexic children and adults and their relation to speech perception. Dyslexia can be studied at various levels: at a biological, cognitive and an environmental level. This thesis mainly looks at environmental and cognitive factors. It is a commonly held view that dyslexia is related to problems with phonological processing, that is, dyslexics have problems dealing with the sound structure of language. The problem is for example seen in tasks where the individual has to manipulate sound segments in the spoken language, read non-words, rapidly name pictures and digits, keep verbal material in short-term memory, and categorize and discriminate sound contrasts in speech perception. To fully understand the dyslexic’s problems we have to investigate both children and adults since the problems might change during the lifespan as a result of changes in the language system and compensatory mechanisms in the poor reader. Research indicates that adult dyslexics can reach functional reading proficiency but still perform poorly on tasks of phonological processing. Even though they can manage many everyday reading situations problems often arise when adult dyslexics enter higher education. The phonological problems of dyslexics are believed to be related to the underlying phonological representations of the language. The phonological representations have been hypothesized to be weakly specified or indistinct and/or not enough segmented. Deviant phonological representations are believed to cause problems when the mapping of written language is to be made to the phonological representations of spoken language during reading acquisition. In Paper 1 adults’ phonological processing and reading habits were investigated in order to increase our understanding of how the reading problems develop into adulthood and what the social consequences are. The results showed that adult dyslexics remained impaired in their phonological processing and that they differed substantially from controls in their choices regarding higher education and also regarding reading habits. Paper 2 reviews research that has used the sine wave speech paradigm in studies of speech perception. The paper also gives a detailed description of how sine wave speech is made and how it can be characterized. Sine wave speech is a course grained description of natural speech lacking phonetic detail. In Paper 3 sine wave speech varying with regard to how much suprasegmental information it contains is employed. Results showed that dyslexics were poorer at identifying monosyllabic words but not disyllabic words and a sentence, plausibly because the dyslexics had problems identifying the phonetic information in monosyllabic words. Paper 4 tested dyslexics’ categorization performance of fricative-vowel syllables and the results showed that dyslexics were less consistent than controls in their categorization indicating poorer sensitivity to phonetic detail. In all the results of the thesis are in line with the phonological deficit hypothesis as revealed by adult data and the performance on task of speech perception. It is concluded that dyslexic children and adults seem to have less well specified phonological representations. </p>

À partir d'une enquête ethnologique, de mars 1993 à mai 1994 au Puy-en Velay, suivant la méthode de l'observation participante, l'auteur retrace la vie quotidienne des institutions et des personnes sans domicile regroupées sous le concept de sine domo. La problématique sine domo englobe les institutions d'assistance ainsi que les hommes qui les composent et qui les utilisent. Suivant un découpage en trois parties, subdivisées chacune en trois sous-parties, cette recherche s'inspire du modèle de la monographie.<br /><br />La première partie privilégie l'axe diachronique dans la perspective de la recherche d'une continuité historique. L'étude commence au milieu du XIXe siècle avec l'entérinement de la loi de 1863 portant sur la répression du vagabondage et de la mendicité en Haute-Loire. L'histoire des institutions nous conduit jusqu'à l'ouverture actuelle d'accueils de jour et de nuit. Le croisement d'entretiens et d'archives permet de montrer une proximité entre la pauvreté endémique des habitants du département et le vagabondage saisonnier. Enfin, l'enquête met en évidence certaines transformations dues aux mutations structurelles du monde rural, comme, par exemple, la fin d'une tradition hospitalière dans les fermes.<br /><br />À travers une géographie et une histoire contemporaine de l'hébergement, la seconde partie débute par le recensement des lieux d'hébergement du département et du Puy-en-Velay. Retraçant l'histoire récente des institutions en place par le biais d'entretiens et de recoupements d'archives, il est montré que la distinction est toujours faite entre le " bon pauvre " et le " mauvais pauvre ", malgré une professionnalisation réelle, mais encore soumise à la morale des institutions de bienfaisance du siècle passé.<br /><br />La troisième partie propose une sociologie du monde sine domo. Partant des institutions en place au moment de la recherche, l'approche sociologique débute par une étude de leur fonctionnement vis-à-vis des hébergés avant d'aborder la typologie des sine domo. Le découpage théorique en cinq catégories (zonard, routard, passager, sédentaire, clochard) est suivi de l'étude de leur existence quotidienne, sur le plan temporel, spatial, économique, vestimentaire, et de l'hygiène corporelle. L'étude se poursuit par un chapitre portant sur la mort du sine domo et ouvre sur une enquête à long terme. Enfin, la troisième sous-partie reprend les diverses théories émises à propos de la notion de bouc émissaire pour aboutir à la description du mécanisme de la logique sacrificielle, au centre de cette thèse. De l'autopunition au sacrifice, l'auteur met en évidence ces processus mis en œuvre à l'aide de ses observations.<br /><br />La conclusion ouverte laisse penser que le mécanisme sacrificiel est d'autant plus présent dans nos sociétés complexes, qu'il en est partie intégrante. Dès lors, seul un déplacement de ce mécanisme permettrait de résoudre le phénomène sine domo au détriment d'un nouveau phénomène à construire.

Fluid simulating is one of the most difficult problems in computer graphics. On the other hand, water appears in our life very frequently. This thesis focuses on water simulating. We have two main methods to do this in the thesis: the first is wave based water simulating; Sine wave summing based and Fast Fourier Transform based methods are all belong to this part. The other one is physics based water simulating. We make it based on Navier-Stokes Equation and it is the most realistic animation of water. It can deal with the boundary and spray which other method cannot express. Then we put our emphasis on implement by the physics method using Navier-Stokes Equation.
