The aim of this thesis was to compare the selected accounting programs in terms of the possibilities of data processing, speed of the processing and clearly organized of data. This thesis will be used by the certain company and therefore it is specialized on long-term assets. The thesis is divided into two main parts, theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part is defined long-term assets, the way of get of long-term assets, depreciation and the way of eliminate of long-term assets and accounting of long-term assets. For the practical part was selected four accounting programs, in which were described various procedures in agenda of long-term assets.

Diversos tipos de defeitos superficiais estão presentes em barras laminadas (e produtos longos) e a presença destes defeitos pode ser muito prejudicial ao desempenho de peças, principalmente, quando se trata de aços para aplicação na cadeia automotiva, onde os níveis de exigência durante o forjamento da peça e durante a sua aplicação são extremamente elevados. Neste trabalho buscou-se determinar as condições operacionais mais apropriadas para a melhoria da qualidade superficial do produto laminado bruto com conseqüente redução de refugo e retrabalho ao longo de toda a cadeia de produção. O objetivo do trabalho é mostrar os defeitos de superficiais de dobra e escama como conseqüência de condições operacionais inapropriadas. Para isto aplicou-se uma metodologia que envolve a análise dos principais pontos de geração de defeitos, possibilitando um levantamento das causas. Com as ações propostas, buscou-se tornar o processo mais estável. Obtiveram-se melhorias significativas na qualidade superficial do material com acentuada redução no refugo por qualidade de aço produzido. / Several types of defects are present in rolled bars and their effects can be very harmful to the performance of mechanical parts, especially in the case of steels for application in the automotive industry, where quality requirements during forging and during its application are high. In this study we sought to determine the most appropriate operating conditions for the reduction of scrap caused by defects that originate in the rolling process, the analyzed defects were the so called overlap of rolling, scales and risks. For this a methodology that involved the analysis of the main points of generation of defects, allowing a survey of the causes was applied. With the proposed actions it was aimed at making the process more stable. This led to a significant improvement in surface quality of the material with marked reduction in scrap for each kind of steel.

O objetivo foi avaliar o efeito do Polietileno de Baixa Densidade com 150 mm de espessura, difusor de luz (PEBD150d), no saldo de energia de ondas longas, assim como no desenvolvimento do pimentão vermelho (Capsicum annuum L.) híbrido Elisa e indicadores de produção da cultura. Os modelos de estimativa do saldo de ondas longas foram obtidos por meio de regressão linear entre os valores medidos deste parâmetro climático, pressão de vapor e temperatura do ar e solo. Os resultados mostraram que em condições de ambiente protegido houve aumento de produção da cultura, em relação ao ocorrido no campo, e significante diferença na transmissividade da energia líquida pela cobertura. Houve redução do fluxo de calor no solo, velocidade do vento, número de horas de insolação, consumo de água, radiação direta e refletida. Contrariamente, a radiação solar difusa teve aumento de 158 %, confirmando o alto efeito difusor do PEBD150d. Os testes dos modelos de estimativa obtidos mostraram alto coeficiente de determinação (r2 > 0,90), tanto para o ambiente protegido como no campo. / This experiment was carried out under field and protected environment conditions in the experimental area of the Natural Resources Department of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences – UNESP, Campus of Botucatu, São Paulo State, Brazil, from April 21st to November 3rd, 2000. The objective was to assess the effect of the light diffuser polyethylene with 150 μm thickness (PEBD150d), on the long wave radiation estimate, as well as on growth and yield index of the hybrid Elisa of red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). The long wave radiation models was obtained by linear regression of measured values of this climatic parameter and water vapor pressure, air and soil temperature. The results showed that the protected environmental condition provided gains of yield in relation to field and significant difference in the long wave transmission though the coverage. There was reduction of the heat flux from soil, wind speed, number of hours of sunshine, water consumption, reflected and direct radiation. The diffuse solar radiation had an increment of 158 %, confirming the higher diffuse effect of PEBD150d. The tests of the estimating models obtained for long wave presented high determination coefficient for both environmental conditions (r2 > 0.90).

A description and model of the near-surface hydrothermal system at Casa Diablo, with its implications for the larger-scale hydrothermal system of Long Valley, California, is presented. The data include resistivity profiles with penetrations to three different depth ranges, and analyses of inorganic mercury concentrations in 144 soil samples taken over a 1.3 by 1.7 km area. Analyses of the data together with the mapping of active surface hydrothermal features (fumaroles, mudpots, etc.), has revealed that the relationship between the hydrothermal system, surface hydrothermal activity, and mercury anomalies is strongly controlled by faults and topography. There are, however, more subtle factors responsible for the location of many active and anomalous zones such as fractures, zones of high permeability, and interactions between hydrothermal and cooler groundwater. In addition, the near-surface location of the upwelling from the deep hydrothermal reservoir, which supplies the geothermal power plants at Casa Diablo and the numerous hot pools in the caldera with hydrothermal water, has been detected. The data indicate that after upwelling the hydrothermal water flows eastward at shallow depth for at least 2 km and probably continues another 10 km to the east, all the way to Lake Crowley.

Eukaryotic genomes are pervasively transcribed and frequently generate long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). However, most lncRNAs remain uncharacterized. In this work, a set of positionally conserved intergenic lncRNAs in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome are selected for further analysis. Deleting one of these lncRNA genes (ncRNA.1343) exhibited a clear phenotype: increased drug sensitivity. Further analyses revealed that deleting ncRNA.1343 also disrupted a previously unannotated lncRNA, termed nc-tgp1, transcribed in the opposite orientation of the predicted ncRNA.1343 gene and into the promoter of the phosphate-responsive permease gene tgp1+. Detailed analyses revealed that the act of transcribing nc-tgp1 into the tgp1+ promoter increases nucleosome density and prevents transcription factor access. Decreased nc-tgp1 transcription permits tgp1+ expression upon phosphate starvation, while nc-tgp1 loss induces tgp1+ in repressive phosphate-rich conditions. Notably, drug sensitivity results directly from tgp1+ expression in the absence of nc-tgp1 transcription. Similarly, lncRNA transcription upstream of pho1+, another phosphate-regulated gene, increases nucleosome density and prevents transcription factor binding to repress pho1+ in phosphate-replete cells. Importantly, the regulation of tgp1+ and pho1+ by upstream lncRNA transcription occurs in the absence of RNAi and heterochromatin components. Instead, the regulation of tgp1+ and pho1+ by upstream lncRNA transcription resembles examples of transcriptional interference reported in other organisms. Thus, tgp1+ and pho1+ are the first documented examples of genes regulated by transcriptional interference in S. pombe.

An estimation methodology to deal with fractionally integrated processes of Ornstein- Uhlenbeck type is proposed. The methodology is based on the continuous Whittle contrast. A simulation study is performed by driving this process with a symmetric CGMY background Lévy process.

abstract: Achievement of many long-term goals requires sustained practice over long durations. Examples include goals related to areas of high personal and societal benefit, such as physical fitness, which requires a practice of frequent exercise; self-education, which requires a practice of frequent study; or personal productivity, which requires a practice of performing work. Maintaining these practices can be difficult, because even though obvious benefits come with achieving these goals, an individual's willpower may not always be sufficient to sustain the required effort. This dissertation advocates addressing this problem by designing novel interfaces that provide people with new practices that are fun and enjoyable, thereby reducing the need for users to draw upon willpower when pursuing these long-term goals. To draw volitional usage, these practice-oriented interfaces can integrate key characteristics of existing activities, such as music-making and other hobbies, that are already known to draw voluntary participation over long durations. This dissertation makes several key contributions to provide designers with the necessary tools to create practice-oriented interfaces. First, it consolidates and synthesizes key ideas from fields such as activity theory, self-determination theory, HCI design, and serious leisure. It also provides a new conceptual framework consisting of heuristics for designing systems that draw new users, plus heuristics for making systems that will continue drawing usage from existing users over time. These heuristics serve as a collection of useful ideas to consider when analyzing or designing systems, and this dissertation postulates that if designers build these characteristics into their products, the resulting systems will draw more volitional usage. To demonstrate the framework's usefulness as an analytical tool, it is applied as a set of analytical lenses upon three previously-existing experiential media systems. To demonstrate its usefulness as a design tool, the framework is used as a guide in the development of an experiential media system called pdMusic. This system is installed at public events for user studies, and the study results provide qualitative support for many framework heuristics. Lastly, this dissertation makes recommendations to scholars and designers on potential future ways to examine the topic of volitional usage. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Media Arts and Sciences 2013
