In modernen Fahrzeugen befindet sich eine Vielzahl von Steuergeräten, die verschiedenste Funktionen, wie z.B. das Antiblockiersystem (ABS) realisieren. Die Funktionalitäten von Steuergeräten werden heute mit unterschiedlichen Methoden beschrieben. Eine dieser Methoden sind Message Sequence Charts (MSCs). Aufgrund der Freiheitsgrade von MSCs gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten gleiche Funktionalität unterschiedlich zu beschreiben. In dieser Arbeit wird eine Methode definiert, wie verschiedene MSCs hinsichtlich Funktionskompatibilität auf Basis von endlichen Automaten untersucht werden können. Diese Diplomarbeit ist in zwei Schwerpunkte gegliedert. Zum einen soll ein Konzept für die Transformation des MSCs in der entsprechenden Automaten-Darstellung und einen Vergleich-Algorithmus zur Rückwärtskompatibilitätsanalyse der endlichen Automaten entwickelt werden. Zum anderen ist es Aufgabe, die Methode auf Basis von Java zu implementieren und in die Software-Plattform CAMP zu integrieren.

Precision Teaching (PT) is a data-based educational tool that allows individual changes to be made to educational programs based specifically on the needs of the learner. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of session distribution on the material learned in the context of a PT intervention program. Typical children, ages 3- to 5-years-old, whom were enrolled in a church-based child development program, participated. The goal of this study was to assess if the administration of PT sessions one day-a-week or five days-a-week effected the acquisition, retention, and endurance of material learned. Results indicate that there was minimal difference in the rate of acquisition, retention, and endurance on the material learned between session distributions for four of the five children.

A qualidade de um prontuário odontológico tem relação direta com sua capacidade em suprir determinadas necessidades dentro da prática profissional. Entre as características desta documentação encontramos a sua capacidade de funcionar como evidência de grande valor em casos de identificação humana, principalmente em casos onde há destruição dos corpos encontrados (carbonização, putrefação avançada, afogamentos e mutilações), onde fica dificultada a realização da identificação através da dactiloscopia ou o reconhecimento pelos familiares. Com a queda no número de tomadas radiográficas realizadas durante o tratamento odontológico e a diminuição da incidência de cárie na população em geral, o detalhamento da documentação escrita elaborada pelo cirurgião-dentista torna-se imprescindível para possibilitar a sua comparação com dados postmortem por ocasião de uma perícia de identificação humana. Dessa forma, este trabalho teve como proposta realizar uma avaliação da qualidade dos prontuários elaborados por cirurgiões-dentistas. Além disso, foi também realizada uma comparação entre a qualidade da documentação elaborada por profissionais recém-formados e profissionais formados há mais de 5 anos, como uma tentativa de estabelecer o tempo de formação do profissional como um fator relevante na elaboração do prontuário. Para tanto, foi realizado um questionário com perguntas referentes à rotina de elaboração da documentação odontológica a uma amostra não probabilística de 132 profissionais, tendo sido utilizada para sua análise a observação quantitativa das tendências das respostas. Observou-se que há grande deficiência no conhecimento dos profissionais quanto ao preenchimento desta documentação, além do desconhecimento da relevância que esta pode apresentar em casos de identificação humana. Quando da comparação levando em consideração o tempo de formado, de modo geral, o desempenho dos dois grupos apresentou-se bastante semelhante, não se refletindo assim, na qualidade final da documentação elaborada, o tempo de formação do indivíduo. / The quality of a dental chart has direct relation with its capacity in supplying definitive necessities of the professional practice. Among the characteristics of this documentation we find its capacity to function as evidence of great value in cases of human identification, especially in cases presenting massive destruction of the bodies (carbonization, advanced decomposition, drowning and mutilation), making it difficult to accomplish the identification through dactyloscopy or even the recognition by the family members. With the decrease in the number of radiographic takes carried out through the dental treatment and the reduction of the incidence of caries in the population in general, the detailing of written documentation elaborated by the dentist becomes essential to make possible its comparison with postmortem data in a forensic identification. Thus, our goal was to evaluate the quality of the dental charts made by graduated dentists. Moreover, we made also a comparison between the quality of the documentation elaborated by newly graduated professionals and professionals graduated for more than 5 years, as an attempt to establish the time of graduation as a relevant factor in the elaboration of the written documentation. For that, a non probabilistic sample of 132 professionals was submitted to a questionnaire with questions referring to the routine elaboration of the dental documentation, having been used for its analysis the quantitative observation of the trends of the answers. It was noticed that there is a great deficiency in the professionals´ knowledge in producing this documentation, and also of its importance in cases of human identification. Regarding the time of graduation, generally, the performance of the two groups presented very similarly, what led us to the conclusion that it does not reflect in the final quality of the documentation.

Traditional teaching methods use accuracy-only criterion when teaching students a specific skill, but more and more students are being left behind in classrooms because they are not mastering the skill. Using fluency, a combination of speed and accuracy, as a mastery criterion has shown to improve both retention and mastery. Previous research suggested that frequency scores closer to the predicted frequency aim produced greater retention. It is unclear at what frequency aim a decay in retention begins to occur. The purpose of the present study was to examine the differential effects of retention on preschool participants’ reading first grade Dolch sight words once the skill had been strengthened to 3 frequencies (i.e., 15 correct words/min, which is 25% of the accepted fluency aim, 30 correct words/min, which is 50% of the accepted fluency aim, and 60 correct words/min, which is 100% of the accepted fluency aim) using fluency training and the Precision Teaching method. Three preschool age participants were assessed for retention 2 weeks and 6 weeks after reaching criterion. All participants maintained teaching frequencies of correct responding 2 weeks after reaching mastery for all 3 frequency aims. Six weeks after teaching, 1 out of 3 participants showed retention for the 15 correct words per min criterion, all participants showed retention for the 30 correct words per min criterion, and all participants showed a decay in retention of correct responding for the 60 correct words per min criterion. Limitations and future research were discussed.

La couleur est omniprésente dans nos quotidiens, mais sa représentation par le marketing fait apparaître aujourd’hui un double paradoxe : d’une part le recours à une rhétorique publicitaire invoquant des caractéristiques de la couleur qui sont précisément niées par sa fabrication industrielle, et d’autre part, la multiplication de l’image du nuancier dans des conditions d’impression qui s’opposent aux fonctions d’exemplification qu’il est sensé assumer. Cette thèse se propose de mettre en évidence, grâce aux outils de la poïétique, les mutations qu’a connu la construction de la pensée de la couleur par les manufactures, l’industrie et le commerce depuis le milieu du XIXème siècle en interrogeant ses divers modes d’échantillonnage, le nuancier notamment, tels qu’ils ont été instaurés par ses producteurs. Mais l’échantillonnage de la couleur est ici envisagé comme une interface d’expression maximum entre les producteurs et commerçants de couleur et ceux auxquels il est destiné : il relève de conduites créatrices spécifiques, il en génère aussi.L’objectif de ce travail est de parvenir à mesurer l’évolution respective des divers types d’information apportés, et donc communiqués, par le nuancier. La recherche s’ancre dans un corpus de documents sur lequel est appliqué une grilled’analyse permettant dans un premier temps de mettre en évidence les cinq territoires d’information qui ont été identifiés dans l’échantillonnage de la couleur, puis d’en explorer les caractéristiques quantitatives et qualitatives. Des concepts opératoires ont ainsi pu être élaborés pour cerner précisément deux conduites créatives distinctes : celle générant le nuancier et celle générant le recueil d’échantillons. L’amplitude chronologique de cette recherche ainsi que le parti-pris de laisser au terrain la possibilité de déployer toute sa richesse a imposé ses limites à l’entreprise. Celle-ci devait poser le cadre et les principaux repères d’un sujet encore peu exploré et élaborer des outils conceptuels aptes à être réutilisés. Une évaluation de la pertinence de la méthode, des outils et des concepts mis en oeuvre a été effectuée. Ses résultats sont encourageants puisqu’ils montrent que la recherche entreprise est féconde pour déceler les enjeux dont le nuancier, entre industrie et individu, est partie prenante. Elle a mis en évidence que l’analyse du nuancier, entité riche de ce dont elle résulte et de ce qu’elle induit, peut être employée pour contribuer à décrypter la société contemporaine. Il s’agira de prolonger cette première étape par de nouvelles investigations sur l’échantillonnage de la couleur. / Colour is omnipresent in our daily lives, but its representation in today’s marketing shows a double paradox: on the one hand, the use of advertising rhetoric, invoking characteristics of color – the same being manifestly denied by the manufacturing industry, and on the other hand, the multiplication of the image of color chart – but under printing-conditions that are opposed to the functions of exemplification it is supposed to fulfill. Using tools from poietic, this thesis intends to demonstrate what kind of changes manufacturers, industry and commerce has gone through in terms of construction of theidea of colour since the mid-nineteenth Century by questioning its various sampling modes, in particular how the color chart was introduced by manufacturers. Sampling of colour is here considered as an interface of maximum expression betweencolour producers and traders and those for whom it is intended: it originates from specific creative conducts - which it also generates. The purpose of this work is to measure the evolution of each type of provided - and obviously communicated - information through the color chart. The research is anchored to a body of documentation, upon which an analytical grid isapplied, first of all in order to define the five fields of information the colour sampling has allowed for. It also enables one to explore their quantitative and qualitative characteristics. Thus it has been possible to develop operational concepts in order to define precisely two distinct creative lines: one generating the color chart and the other generating the sample collection. The chronological amplitude of this research and the prejudice to let the field maintain its ability to display all its treasures, has imposed its own limitations to this research. It has defined the framework and the main landmarks of a - until now - poorly explored subject and developed the conceptual tools capable of being re-used. An evaluation has been performed on the adequacy of the methodology, the tools and on implemented concepts. The results are encouraging as they show that the undertaken research has successfully identified the issues the color chart, the rich entity of where it comes from and what it leads to can contribute to deciphering contemporary society. The purpose is to extend this first step by carrying out new investigations on the sampling of color.

This thesis is focused on identification and evaluation of errors during pneumatic valve assembly. Theoretical part describes tools used: quality gate, flow chart, Pareto diagram and FMEA analysis. Within practical part the current assembly process is analyzed with current errors and besides evaluation, the improvement priorities and ways to accomplish these improvements in an actual company are defined. If the company chooses to take the opportunity to implement these improvements, thesis also monitors the results and reaction to the change of the analyzed process to a certain point.

In multivariate statistical process control it is generally assumed that the process variables follow a multivariate normal distribution with mean vector " and covariance matrix •, but this is rarely satisfied in practice. Some robust control charts have been developed to monitor the mean and variance of univariate processes, or the mean vector " of multivariate processes, but the development of robust multivariate charts for monitoring • has not been adequately addressed. The control charts that are most affected by departures from normality are actually the charts for • not the charts for ". In this article, the robust design of several MEWMA-type control charts for monitoring • is investigated. In particular, the robustness and efficiency of different MEWMA-type control charts are compared for the in-control and out-of-control cases over a variety of multivariate distributions. Additionally, the total extra quadratic loss is proposed to evaluate the overall performance of control charts for multivariate processes. / Ph. D.
