Introdução: Armadilhas automáticas entomológicas são ferramentas importantes para a vigilância e controle de espécies de mosquitos vetoras. Vários estudos mostraram que a armadilha CDC com CO2 + Lurex® e a CDC luminosa são efetivas para a amostragem de culicídeos. A Mosquito Magnet® foi comparada com diferentes métodos de coletas, incluindo a isca humana, para amostragem de mosquitos vetores. Como resultado, a armadilha tem demonstrado boa capacidade de amostragem. No presente estudo, a eficácia da Mosquito Magnet® Independence foi comparada com as armadilhas CDC luminosa e a CDC com atrativos, mas sem luz. As coletas foram realizadas em áreas rurais no sudeste do bioma de Mata Atlântica. Objetivo: Comparar a eficácia da armadilha Mosquito Magnet® Independence + Lurex3® com a da CDC luminosa e da CDC com CO2 + Lurex3®. Métodos: As armadilhas foram instaladas em três locais diferentes durante três dias consecutivos em áreas rurais do município de Iguape, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, de janeiro a junho de 2012. As armadilhas foram colocadas diariamente às 6h00 pm (ou 7h00 pm, durante os dias de horário de verão) e removidas às 6h00 am (ou 7h00 horas durante os dias de horário de verão). Para avaliar a eficácia das armadilhas para coleta de culicídeos, utilizamos os perfis de diversidade da Rényi, além de outros índices de diversidade, ou seja, riqueza, abundância, dominância, equabilidade e similaridade. Resultados: A armadilha Mosquito Magnet® coletou 53,84 por cento do total (19.016 indivíduos) de mosquitos obtidos com as três armadilhas. Por outro lado, a CDC luminosa obteve os maiores índices de diversidade de Margalef e Shannon. O índice de Pielou mostrou que as espécies se distribuem de maneira mais uniforme quando empregado o uso da armadilha CDC com atrativos. No entanto, a Mosquito Magnet® obteve o maior índice de dominância. O teste de Kruskal-Wallis mostrou diferença significativa apenas para os índices de riqueza observados na série de Rényi. O teste de Bonferroni apontou que apenas a armadilha Mosquito Magnet® apresentou diferença significativa em relação à CDC luminosa (p=6e-05). Os índices de similaridade apontaram maiores semelhanças entre as espécies coletadas pelas armadilhas Mosquito Magnet® e CDC com atrativos. Conclusões: O presente estudo mostrou que é possível coletar número elevado de espécimes de culicídeos com a Mosquito Magnet® Independence em áreas rurais no sudeste de São Paulo. Apesar da armadilha CDC não coletar uma grande abundância de culicídeos é considerado um método de coleta apropriado e indicado para os serviços de saúde, devido a sua funcionalidade e facilidade de transporte.

Several studies showed both CDC trap with CO2 plus Lurex3® and CDC light trap to be effective for sampling mosquito species. The Mosquito Magnet® trap was compared with different collecting methods, including human landing, for sampling mosquito vectors. As a result, the former trap was demonstrated to have good sampling capacity. In the present study, efficacy of the Mosquito Magnet® Independence was compared with those of CDC light trap and CDC trap with CO2 plus Lurex3®, but no light. Collections were carried out in rural areas within the southeast Atlantic Forest biome. Objective: to compare the efficacy of a Mosquito Magnet® Independence plus Lurex3® with a CDC light trap and CDC trap with CO2 plus Lurex3®. Methods: Traps were installed in three different locations during three consecutive days in rural areas of the Iguape municipality, São Paulo state, Brazil. The traps were placed daily at 6h00 pm (or 7h00 pm during the summer day light savings) and removed at 6h00 am (or 7h00 am during the summer day light savings). To assess efficacy of the traps for collecting mosquito species, we employed the Rényis diversity profiles, in addition to other diversity indexes, i.e., richness, abundance, dominance, evenness, and similarity. Results: The Mosquito Magnet® trap collected 53.84 per cent of the total number (19,016 individuals) of mosquitoes obtained with all three traps. On the other hand, the CDC trap obtained the highest diversity indexes of Margalef and Shannon. The evenness index showed that species were distributed more evenly when using the CDC trap with CO2 and Lurex3®. However, the Mosquito Magnet® had the highest dominance index. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed a significant difference in the indexes of richness observed in the Rényi profile index. The Bonferroni test demonstrated that only the Mosquito Magnet® trap has a significant difference relative to the CDC light trap (p = 6e-05). The similarity index showed more resemblance between species collected by Mosquito Magnet® Independence and CDC trap with CO2 and Lurex3®. Conclusions: The present study shows that it is possible to collect large numbers of specimen with the Mosquito Magnet® Independence trap in rural areas in southeastern São Paulo State. In spite of the fact that the CDC trap did not abundantly collect mosquitos, it is considered an appropriate collecting method used by health service organizations because of its practicality and ease of transportation. However, results of the present study showed that the Mosquito Magnet® Independence is more effective than both CDC light trap and CDC with CO2 and Lurex3® for entomological surveillance.

Les onduleurs sont des systèmes magnétiques créant un champ périodique permanent. Les sources de rayonnement synchrotron dites de « troisième génération » produisent du rayonnement accordable de haute intensité lorsque les particules relativistes sont accélérées dans ce champ magnétique. A une énergie donnée des électrons, l’émission est rayonnée à d’autant plus courte longueur d’onde que le champ magnétique créé est important et que la période est petite. Une première solution consiste à mettre les aimants sous vide. Le sujet de thèse consiste à améliorer les performances magnétiques de ce type d’onduleur de 30% en refroidissant le système magnétique. L’utilisation de la nuance d’aimant Pr2Fe14B permet de refroidir les aimants à la température de l’azote liquide ce qui simplifie beaucoup le système de refroidissement.Dans le chapitre I les caractéristiques magnétiques des onduleurs sont décrites, les différents types d’onduleurs sont présentés et l’état de l’art des onduleurs cryogénique est effectué.

La conception d’un onduleur cryogénique de 2 m utilisant la nuance d’aimant PrFeB en partant d’un onduleur sous vide de 2 m utilisant la nuance d’aimant SmCo est effectuée. La période de l’onduleur est optimisée et les forces magnétiques associées sont calculées. Dans le chapitre III la conception du châssis et des différentes pièces mécaniques est présentée.

La caractérisation de l’onduleur avec le faisceau d’électrons est effectuée et les perspectives d’amélioration de cet onduleur cryogénique sont proposées. / Undulators are magnetic systems which produce periodic magnetic field. Synchrotron radiation sources called third generation produce high intensity radiation when relativistic particles are accelerated in this magnetic field. The radiation is emitted at shorter wave length for high magnetic field and small period undulators. A first solution consists to integrate the magnetic system in a big vacuum chamber. The subject of the thesis is to improve the magnetic performance of an in vacuum undulator of 30 % by cooling down the magnetic system at cryogenic temperature. Using Pr2Fe14B permanent magnet allows cooling down directly to the liquid nitrogen temperature which simplified the cooling system.IN chapter I the magnetic characteristics of undulators are described, different types of undulators are presented and the state of the art of cryogenic undulator is given.

The permanent magnet motors have become essential parts of modern motor drives recently because need for high efficiency and accurate dynamic performance arose in the industry. Some of the advantages they possess over other types of electric motors include higher torque density, higher efficiency due to absence of losses caused by field excitation, almost unity power factor, and almost maintenance free construction. With increasing need for specialized PM motors for different purposes and areas, much effort has also gone to design methodologies. In this thesis a design model is developed for surface PM motors. This model is used with an available optimization algorithm for the optimized design of a PM motor. Special attention is paid to measurement of parameters of a sample PM motor. As a result of this study, an effective analytical model with a proven accuracy by measurement results is developed and applied in a design process of a surface PM motor. Parametric and performance results of analytical model and tests have been presented comparatively. A prototype motor has been realized and tested.

Thesis (MScEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2011. / Due to finite oil resources and its political and economical impact, a renewed interest in energy independence has compelled industry and government to pursue electric vehicle designs. The current worldwide research that is being conducted on drivetrain topologies for EVs, focus mainly on direct in-wheel drive, direct differential drive and fixed-gear differential drive topologies. Furthermore, the control strategy for these type of motor drives require a, so called, field-weakening operation in order to achieve acceptable performance characteristics for the vehicle. This thesis evaluates the use of a manual gearbox drivetrain topology and a radial flux air-cored permanent magnet (RFAPM) synchronous machine, without flux-weakening operation, as a traction drive application for EVs. For the purpose of this research study, a 2006 model Opel Corsa Lite is converted to a battery electric vehicle, and the Corsa is renamed to the E-Corsa. The Corsa is converted so that all the original functionality, boot space and space inside the vehicle are retained. The original 5-speed manual gearbox is used as drivetrain for the vehicle and a 40 kW, 70 Nm RFAPM traction drive is developed for the manual gearbox. A power electronic converter is designed for RFAPM traction drive and a Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery pack is used as energy source for the traction drive. The battery pack is mounted partially in the front and partially in the back of the vehicle to maintain an even weight distribution in the vehicle.

This thesis deals with the modelling, simulation and control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM) used specially in electric and hybrid vehicles. With the availability of fast semiconductor switches and high speed processors, Vector controlled drives are gaining popularity. One disadvantage of this type of control however, is the need for high cost, high resolution sensors (encoders) for determining the rotor position. Position sensorless schemes have evolved over a decade and this thesis addresses this issue. Two schemes have been proposed for the elimination of encoders in vector controlled drives. One is a semi-sensored scheme wherein a combination of low cost hall sensors and a digital position estimator gives the position information. In the second scheme, a reduced order observer called Luenbuerger observer has been used to estimate speed and rotor angle. The problem of finding rotor angle at standstill has also been dealt with. This thesis also discusses the difference in simulating a BLDC (Brushless DC) and PMSM machine. An experimental set-up consisting of MOSFET inverter and TMS320LF2407 DSP based digital controller was developed in the laboratory to implement the control algorithms. Two PMSM machines were procured from a two-wheeler manufacturer to set up the rig. Simulations were done in MATLAB/ Simulink (Off-line) and Xilinx XC3S400 (in real-time) to verify the concepts. Simulation and experimental results are finally compared.
