In this sense the performance of health systems is of major importance for management of this sector. The evaluation of the performance of the health systems is of major importance for the management of the referred sector. With this purpose stands out the population based health surveys, which are being widely used in other countries, and in Brazil they have been gradually used by some government sectors, due to their legitimacy to assess the health status of the population and the health care service provided from the users’ point of view. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the performance of the health services in the municipalities of the northern part of the Integrated Region of Development of the Federal District and surrounding areas from the perspective of the residents. METHODOLOGY: A descriptive epidemiological study using a population-based household survey. An already validated questionnaire was applied, which was submitted to a digital format with the use of an electronic artifact Pocket Hp iPAQ116 The statistical analysis was performed using a SPSS software version 19.0, on which data were crossed and simple frequencies were performed with 95 % confidence interval. RESULTS: From 521 participants, 59.50 % are aged between 18 to 40, 53.93 % are female, being 54.70% of the majority of brown skin color . About the Basic Attention AB1 66.60 % of households were registered in units of the family health, and 33.39 % of residents reported not having health care support, 46.25% residents reported consultation with a physician, 67.63 % of those paid by SUS, also 86.27 % of 51 admissions were provided by SUS, and 82.36 % of the health service users seek predominantly for SUS , and 59.19 % not primarily sought the Primary Care. CONCLUSION: Were recorded a young adult population with a female majority was registered, The provision of health services, are recorded at CNES and enrolls 138 public health services or private contracted by SUS, without however posses or contract a high complexity hospital service, which is presented only in the municipality of Planaltina de Goiás. The gateway service recommended by the federal government to AB, is not perceived as such by the population. / Diversos autores têm buscado compreender as variáveis que configuram os serviços de saúde no SUS e sua gestão buscando subsidiar os gestores com informações que possam contribuir na desfragmentação do sistema. Nesse sentido a avaliação do desempenho dos sistemas de saúde é de reconhecida importância para a gestão desse setor. Com Este proposito destacam-se os inquéritos de saúde de base populacional, que são amplamente utilizados em outros países e no Brasil vem sendo gradativamente utilizados por órgãos oficiais, devido à sua legitimidade para avaliar o estado de saúde da população e a assistência de saúde prestada do ponto de vista do usuário. OBJETIVO: Analisar o desempenho dos serviços de saúde dos municípios do Entorno Norte da Região Integrada de Desenvolvimento do Distrito Federal e Entorno na perspectiva dos residentes. METODOLOGIA: Estudo epidemiológico descritivo, do tipo inquérito domiciliar de base populacional. Foi utilizado questionário já validado, sendo apresentado em formato digital com utilização de artefato eletrônico Pocket Hp iPAQ116, a análise estatística foi realizada por meio do software SPSS versão 19.0, no qual foram realizados cruzamentos e frequências simples com intervalo de confiança 95%. RESULTADOS: Dos 521 participantes, 59.50% estão na faixa etária de 18 e 40 anos, 53.93% são do sexo feminino, sendo a maioria de cor parda 54.70%. Quanto à Atenção Básica (AB), 66.60% dos domicílios estavam cadastrados em unidades de saúde da família e 46.25% residentes relataram consultar com algum médico, 67.63% dessas, pagas pelo SUS. Registram-se também 51 internações, nas quais 86.27% foram realizadas pelo SUS. 82.36% dos usuários buscaram predominantemente o SUS, sendo que 59.19%, não procuraram primeiramente a Atenção Básica. CONCLUSÃO: Registra-se uma população adulta jovem com maioria feminina. A oferta de serviços de saúde encontra-se registrados no CNES 138 serviços de saúde pública e conveniados ao SUS, sem, no entanto, possuir serviço hospitalar ou ambulatorial público ou conveniado de alta complexidade, presente, apenas, no município de Planaltina de Goiás. A porta de entrada do serviço preconizada pelo governo federal à AB, não é entendida como tal pela população.

Tem-se verificado, na prática, que a falta de drenagem subsuperficial é um dos principais fatores de deterioração precoce dos pavimentos. Ainda, verifica-se que são relativamente poucos os procedimentos de dimensionamento e modelos de análise de previsão de desempenho que consideram efetivamente o efeito deletério da drenagem na vida útil dos pavimentos. No entanto, observa-se que pesquisas e experiências estrangeiras não estabeleceram ainda uma correlação quantitativa confiável entre a presença dos dispositivos de drenagem e o desempenho dos mesmos. No trabalho foi realizada análise de sensibilidade dos modelos da AASHTO (versão de 1993) e HDM-4, considerados os mais difundidos na atualidade. Os modelos empregam coeficientes de drenagem para a consideração dos efeitos danosos da presença de água livre no interior de estruturas de pavimentos rígidos e flexíveis. Teoricamente, verificou-se que os modelos são sensitivos quanto à influência das condições de drenagem no desempenho dos pavimentos. Foram analisados dados reais de certa malha viária no interior do estado de São Paulo e verificou-se, na prática, que os pavimentos flexíveis sem acostamento pavimentado, ou seja, com condições precárias de drenagem, têm apresentado desempenho inferior quando comparados com estruturas dotadas de acostamentos pavimentados mais impermeáveis. Constatou-se a dificuldade de se adotar os coeficientes de drenagem nos modelos analisados, apesar da grande importância da fixação adequada no dimensionamento. Comenta-se no trabalho que, além da existência de dispositivos de drenagem subsuperficial, é necessário checar a sua continuidade e capacidade hidráulica ao longo de todo o sistema. Sugerem-se procedimentos para o dimensionamento hidráulico do sistema de drenagem de pavimentos e a necessidade de se considerar a avaliação econômica ao longo de um período, de acordo com o desempenho esperado do pavimento (LCCA - Life Cycle Cost Analysis) quando da definição da concepção de pavimentos rodoviários drenantes, principalmente quando submetidos a tráfego pesado e em condições climáticas desfavoráveis. / There has been verified, in practice, that the absence of pavement drainage is one of the main factors of early degradation of pavements. More, there are few procedures of design and performance analysis that effectively consider the damage of water during the design period. However, foreign experiments and researches do not establish a reliable correlation between the construction of pavement drainage features and pavement performance. In this text, there has been analyzed the AASHTO (version of 1993) and HDM-4 models, considered the most spread out in the present time. These models consider the damage effects of free water inside flexible or rigid pavement structures. Theoretically, it was verified that the models are sensitive about the influence of the conditions of draining in the pavement performance. It had been analyzed real data of certain roadway network in the interior of the state of São Paulo and it was verified, in practical, that the flexible pavements without paved shoulder, that is, with precarious conditions of drainage, have presented lower performance when compared with structures endowed with paved shoulders more impermeable. It was evidenced the difficulty of adopting the drainage coefficients in the analyzed models, although the great importance of the setting adjusted in the design. It is commented that, beyond the existence of devices of subsurface draining, is necessary to check its continuity and hydraulical capacity throughout the system. It\'s suggested procedures for the hydraulical design of the pavement drainage system and the necessity of considering the economic evaluation throughout a period, in accordance with the waited performance (LCCA - Life Cycle Cost Analysis) when the definition of the conception of road pavements, mainly when submitted the heavy traffic and in unfavorable climatic conditions.

As recentes pesquisas na área de Gestão de Processos de Negócio (GPN) vêm contribuindo para aumentar a eficiência nas organizações. A GPN pode ser compreendida como o conjunto de métodos, técnicas e ferramentas computacionais desenvolvidas para amparar os processos de negócios. Tipicamente, a GPN é fundamentada por modelos de processos. Esses modelos, além de permitirem a automação da configuração e execução, aumentam a capacidade de análise dos processos de negócio. Apesar de auxiliar os especialistas de negócio nas diferentes fases envolvidas no ciclo de vida de um processo de negócio (projeto, configuração, implantação/execução e a análise), os modelos definidos em linguagens específicas de domínio, como a BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation), não são os mais apropriados para amparar a fase de análise. De formal geral, esses modelos não possuem uma semântica operacional formalmente definida (o que limita o seu uso para a verificação e validação dos processos) e nem mecanismos para quantificar o comportamento modelado (o que impossibilita a análise de desempenho). Neste trabalho de doutorado, nós desenvolvemos um arcabouço que ampara e automatiza os principais passos envolvidos na análise de desempenho de processos de negócio via modelagem analítica. Nós estudamos a viabilidade da aplicação de três formalismos Markovianos na modelagem de processos de negócio: as Redes de Petri Estocásticas, as Álgebras de Processo Estocásticas e as Redes de Autômatos Estocásticos (SAN, do inglês Stochastic Automata Networks). Escolhemos SAN como formalismo base para o método proposto neste trabalho. Nosso arcabouço é constituído por: (i) uma notação para enriquecer modelos de processos de negócio descritos em BPMN com informações sobre o seu gerenciamento de recursos, e (ii) um algoritmo que faz a conversão automática desses modelos não-formais de processos para modelos estocásticos em SAN. Com isso, somos capazes de capturar o impacto causado pela contenção de recursos no desempenho de um processo de negócio. A partir de um modelo em SAN gerado com o nosso arcabouço, podemos predizer variados índices de desempenho que são boas aproximações para o desempenho esperado do processo de negócio no mundo real. / Recent results in the research field of Business Process Management (BPM) are contributing to improve efficiency in organizations. BPM can be seen as a set of methods, techniques and tools developed to support business processes in their different requirements. Usually, the BPM techniques are based on a process model. In addition to enabling automated process configuration and execution, these models also increase the analizability of business processes. Despite being able to support business specialists in different phases of the life cycle of a business process (design, configuration, execution, and analysis), the models created in domain-specific languages, such as BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation), are not the most appropriated ones to support the analysis phase. Generally, these models have neither a formally defined operational semantics (which hinders their use for verification and validation), nor mechanisms to quantify the modeled behavior (which hinders their use for performance analysis). In this PhD research, we developed a framework to support and to automatize the main steps involved in the analytical modeling of business processes aiming performance evaluation. We studied the viability of applying three Markovian formalisms in business process modeling: Stochastic Petri Nets, Stochastic Process Algebras and Stochastic Automata Networks (SAN). We have chosen SAN to support the method proposed in this work. Our framework is composed of: (i) a notation to enrich BPMN business process models with information concerning the associated resource management and (ii) an algorithm that automatically converts these non-formal business process models in SAN stochastic models. With this, we are able to capture the impact caused by resource contention in the performance of a business process. From a model generated through our framework, we are able to extract varied performance indices that are good approximations for the expected process performance in the real world.

As cargas de treinamento físico devem ser planejadas em termos de volume e intensidade, de modo mais próximo possível das demandas solicitadas durante os jogos. De forma geral, o volume dos deslocamentos realizados pode ser caracterizado pela distância percorrida e a intensidade pelas velocidades alcançadas. A ocorrência de sucessivos períodos de esforços alternados por intervalos de recuperação faz com que a obtenção e manipulação de variáveis como duração dos esforços, número de repetições, tempo de recuperação sejam de grande importância na preparação física desta modalidade, caracterizada como intermitente Este estudo propõe uma análise das velocidades de deslocamento durante três partidas oficiais de basquetebol, classificando-as por faixa de velocidade, definindo os esforços em cada faixa pela velocidade máxima, e descrevendo para cada faixa a frequência destes esforços, a duração, os intervalos de tempo entre eles e a distância percorrida, para as posições, armador, ala-armador, ala, ala-pivô e pivô. Para tanto, três jogos do Novo Basquete Brasil foram filmados utilizando quatro câmeras de vídeo. Nas sequências de imagens dos jogos, um total de doze jogadores da mesma equipe foram rastreados e suas coordenadas 2D da posição em função do tempo foram reconstruídas utilizando o sistema Dvideo, e calculadas as velocidades de deslocamento de cada jogador. Na análise estatística, foi utilizado teste Friedman quando os resultados obtidos foram não paramétricos e ANOVA quando paramétricos, com significância adotada de p < 0.01. As velocidades foram classificadas em tempo cronometrado parado e tempo cronometrado ativo mostrando que há diferença entre essas variáveis para todas as posições, exceto entre alas e armadores, e entre ala-armadores e armadores. Médias e desvios padrão das frequências de esforços, tempo de duração, intervalos entre eles e distancias percorridas foram calculadas em três diferentes faixas de velocidades: v2 (0 a 3m/s), v3 (3,1 a 6,9 m/s) e v4 (acima de 7.0 m/s). A média do tempo cronometrado ativo foi de 46,7 ± 5,2 %. Armadores deslocaram-se mais que outras posições (6592,2 ± 422,3 m), permaneceram mais tempo na faixa v2, apresentaram tempo médio de duração de cada esforço (3,9 ± 0 s). Na terceira categoria, de 3.0 a 6,9 m/s, alas-armadores obtiveram médias maiores nas frequências de esforço; 133,3± 2,0, intervalo entre os esforços; 1578,3±75,8 e tempo de duração; 5,3±0,3s. Acima de 7,0 m/s, novamente alas-armadores obtiveram as maiores médias em todas as variáveis (frequência de esforços ;1,6±1,5, tempo de duração;6,9±6,7s, e distância percorrida; 20,4±15,1m) e pivôs obtiveram as médias menores (frequência de esforços; 1,0±1,0, tempo de duração;5,2±4,81s, intervalo entre os esforços; 931,6±1450,6 e distância percorrida; 721,2±36,1m). Em v4, novamente alas-armadores obtiveram as maiores médias nas variáveis (fe = 1,6 ± 1,5, t = 6,9 ± 6,7 s, e d = 20,4 ± 15,1 m), isso mostra uma importante característica dos alas-armadores, sujeitos a maiores esforços em velocidades entre 3,1 e 7,0 m/s, o que sugere também uma indicação de intensidade de treino para esta posição. Já pivôs obtiveram as médias menores (fe = 1,0 ± 1,0, t = 5,2 ± 4,81 s, ?t = 931,6 ± 1450,6 e d = 721,2±36,1 m), indicando que estes jogadores necessitam de um maior nível de condicionamento aeróbico, já que permanecem em categorias de menor intensidade e por mais tempo. A aplicação da reconstrução bidimensional e tracking manual utilizando o DVideo foi possível em nosso modelo experimental e sugere que há diferença quanto ao perfil da velocidade de deslocamento em diferentes posições bem como com relação as variáveis estudadas quando observadas aos valores obtidos nos três jogos analisados. Tais informações são úteis na prescrição do treinamento levando em consideração as especificidades de cada função em quadra / Abstract: Video-based time-motion analysis technologies have been used to describe the movement of basketball players, either from a technical, tactical or physical perspective. The amount of physical training must be planned in terms of considering volume and intensity, in the best possible way to answer demands brought up during the games. In general, the volume of displacements can be characterized by the distance covered and the intensity by the velocities reached. The occurrence of successive effort periods alternated with resting intervals makes obtaining and manipulating variables such as the length of efforts, the number of repetitions, time and type of recovery is very important in the physical conditioning of this modality, characterized as intermittent. This study addresses an analysis of the players' displacements during an official basketball match, ranking them by velocity range, describing, for each band, the frequency of these actions, length, the time intervals between them and the covered distance, and verifying significant differences between guards, shooting guards, forwards, shooting forwards and centers. Thirteen basketball players (age: 29.9 ± 6.8 years, body mass: 93.0 ± 9.2 kg, height: 193 ± 6 cm) participants from the same team, was filmed during three games, authorized by the National Basketball League, using four video cameras JVC (30Hz). After, the image of total players was tracked and 2D reconstructed, through the Dvideo system, and, with these data, the average speed of each players was calculated. In the statistical analysis, we used the Matlab® to apply the Lillietest test (p < 0.05) to check the normality of data, and the Friedman test and ANOVA (p <0.05) was used for statistical differences. Means and standard deviations of the frequencies of movements made (Fa), duration (t), intervals between them (?t) and covered distances (d), for each player in each speed range are shown. The results were organized into data gathered during working game clock (vw), total time (vg) and stopped game clock (ts) and indicated significant differences for vw and vg across positions and working game clock (46.7 ± 5.2 %).Differences in velocities (vw) are clear between guards (p = 0.12) and shooting guards (p = 0.02), and between guards and small forwards (p = 0.04). The permanence time in the team time clocked active 46.7 ± 5.2%. Guards move more than other positions (6592.2 ± 422.3 m) and stay longer in the category of 0 - 3m / s, range (1111.5 ± 79.0s), average duration of every effort (3.9± 0s) and have smaller ranges above 7.0 m / s, while centers had higheraverages in the frequencies of efforts (284.0 ± 32.7) has the lowest averages were found in wards (158.3 ± 69), time duration (1.0 ± 0.1s), and distance in this speed range (721.2 ± 36.1m). In the second category, from 3.0 to 6.9 m / s, shooting forwards had higher averages in the frequencies of effort (133.3 ± 2.0), (?t = 1578.3 ± 75s), t = 5.3 ± 0, 3s. Above 7.0 m/s, centers obtained the highest average on all variables; frequency of efforts; (1.6 ± 1.5) time duration of each strain (6.9 ± 6.7s) and distance traveled within the speed range (20.4 ± 15.1m.). Guards obtained the lower average frequency shift, (1.0 ± 1.0), duration of each movement, (5.2 ± 4.81s), interval between efforts; (1450.6 ± 931.6) and distance traveled in each velocity range (721.2 ± 36.1m).The application of two-dimensional reconstruction and tracking by using the manual Dvideo was possible in our experimental model, it is clear that there is difference in the profile of the velocity in different positions when observed averages of three games analyzed. Such information is useful for training plans with variables obtained according to the specific role of each player on the court / Mestrado / Biodinâmica do Movimento Humano e Esporte / Mestra em Ciências da Nutrição e do Esporte e Metabolismo

Each day new computers around the world connects to the Internet or some network. The increasing number of people and computers on the Internet has lead to a demand for more services in different domains that can be accessed from many locations in the network. When the computers communicate they use different kinds of protocols to be able to deliver a service. One of these protocol families are remote procedure calls between computers. Remote procedure calls has been around for quite some time but it is with the Internet that its usage has increased a lot and especially in its object oriented form which comes from the fact that object oriented programming has become a popular choice amongst programmers. When a programmer has to choose a distributed object middleware there is a lot to take into consideration and one of those things is performance. This master thesis aims to give a performance comparison between different distributed object middleware technologies and give an overview of the performance difference between them and make it easier for a programmer to choose one of the technologies when performance is an important factor. In this thesis we have evaluated the performance of CORBA, DCOM, RMI, RMI-IIOP, Remoting-TCP and Remoting-HTTP. The results we have seen from this evaluation is that DCOM and RMI are the distributed object middleware technologies with the best overall performance in terms of throughput and round trip time. Remoting-TCP generally generates the least amount of network traffic, while Remoting-HTTP generates the most amount of network traffic due to it&apos;s SOAP-formated protocol. / Detta magister arbete handlar om en prestanda analys av distribuerade objectorienterande mellanlagers teknologier. Dokumentet jämför prestandan på följande teknologier: CORBA, DCOM, RMI, RMI-IIOP, Remoting-TCP and Remoting-HTTP. Jämförelsen är i både server och klient perspektiv. / The authors can probably not be reached on the e-mail addresses given here or in the thesis. A simple search on any search engine will probably lead to valid an address. The reason for this is becouse the student mail is not a longterm address.

The diploma thesis focuses on finding ways to increase the performance of a selected manufacturing company by the use of benchmarking. The thesis applies theoretical knowledge from literature to the practical level by using analyses. Based on these analyses there are made proposals that contribute to the increase of a business performance.

Java Performance Measurement Framework (JPMF) is a framework dedicated to description of points, where the performance is measured. This description is used to gather performance data in these running points. Data are gathered and written without any processing. The handling increases bandwidth and puts high load on the storage. JPMF does not provide any possibility for user to reduce this data. This thesis aims to solve the described problem by introduction of filtering and aggregation, that should reduce the bandwidth. Additionally, performance bottlenecks in various parts of JPMF are investigated and removed. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The power sector needs to be decarbonised by 2050 to meet the global target for greenhouse gas emission reduction and prevent climate change. With fossil fuels expected to play a vital role in the future energy portfolio and high efficiency penalties related to mature CO2 capture technologies, this research aimed at evaluating the efficiency improvements and alternate operating modes of the coal-fired power plants (CFPP) retrofitted with post-combustion CO2 capture. To meet this aim, process models of the CFPPs, chilled ammonia process (CAP) and calcium looping (CaL) were developed in Aspen Plus® and benchmarked against data available in the literature. Also, the process model of chemical solvent scrubbing using monoethanolamine (MEA) was adapted from previous studies. Base-load analysis of the 580 MWel CFPP retrofits revealed that if novel CAP retrofit configurations were employed, in which a new auxiliary steam turbine was coupled with the boiler feedwater pump for extracted steam pressure control, the net efficiency penalty was 8.7–8.8% points. This was close to the 9.5% points in the MEA retrofit scenario. Conversely, CaL retrofit resulted in a net efficiency penalty of 6.7–7.9% points, depending on the fuel used in the calciner. Importantly, when the optimised supercritical CO2 cycle was used instead of the steam cycle for heat recovery, this figure was reduced to 5.8% points. Considering part-load operation of the 660 MWel CFPP and uncertainty in the process model inputs, the most probable net efficiency penalties of the CaL and MEA retrofits were 9.5% and 11.5% points, respectively. Importantly, in the CaL retrofit scenarios, the net power output was found to be around 40% higher than that of the CFPP without CO2 capture and double than that for the MEA retrofit scenario. Such performance of the CaL retrofit scenario led to higher profit than that of the 660 MWel CFPP without CO2 capture, especially if its inherent energy storage capability was utilised. Hence, this study revealed that CaL has the potential to significantly reduce the efficiency and economic penalties associated with mature CO2 capture technologies.

Seismic isolation systems are widely used to protect reinforced concrete (RC) structures against the effects of strong ground motions. After a magnitude 6.6 earthquake, the outpatient building of Lushan People’s hospital in China remained in good condition due to the seismic isolation technology, while the non-isolated older outpatient building nearby experienced major damage. The building provides a good opportunity to study and assess the contribution of isolation systems to seismic performance of RC structures. In the current research project, the isolated outpatient building was modelled and analyzed using computer software SAP2000. The post-yield behaviour of the structure was modelled by assigning multi-linear plastic links to frame objects. The rubber isolators were represented by rubber isolator link elements, assigned as a single joint element between the ground and the superstructure. The isolated structure was subjected to four earthquake records with increasing intensity. The performances of the isolated structure were compared with those of the fixed-base structures in terms of lateral inter-storey drifts, peak absolute floor accelerations, and residual drifts. The laminated rubber bearings, the high damping isolation devices, composed of rubber bearings and viscous dampers, and the hybrid isolation system of rubber bearings and friction pendulum bearings were analysed. The effectiveness of the three base isolation systems considered in enhancing structural performance was investigated. The results show the level of improvement attained in seismic response by each system. They also illustrate that the rubber bearings coupled with friction pendulum bearings produce the best drift control without causing excessive horizontal displacements at the base level and without adversely affecting floor accelerations.

Este projeto de mestrado apresenta uma visão de como áreas da Ciência da Computação relacionadas a desempenho (Avaliação de Desempenho, Engenharia de Desempenho de Software e Teste de Desempenho de Software) podem ser relacionas e também propõe uma metodologia de análise de desempenho que contém conceitos das áreas anteriormente apontadas, para que esta seja mais completa e possa ser compreendida por profissionais das três áreas. Para formalizar esse relacionamento, foi construída uma ontologia que mostra como ocorre a correlação entre as áreas, e a partir dessa metodologia proposta, foi possível analisar o desempenho da ferramenta ValiPar, em sua versão paralela e concluir que o principal gargalo com relação a escalabilidade dela é sua porção executada sequencialmente. Por fim, foi observado que a metodologia apresenta vantagens se comparada as demais, como uma formalização nas suas etapas de análise. / This master project presents a view of how Computers Science areas related to performance (Performance Evaluation, Software Performance Engineering and Software Performance Testing) can be related and also proposes a performance analysis methodology that contains concepts from all areas previously identified, so that it is more complete and can be understood by professionals of these three areas. To formalize this relationship, an ontology that shows how the correlation occurs between areas was built. And from the proposed methodology, it was possible to analyze the performance of ValiPar tool, in its parallel version, and it was concluded that the main bottleneck with respect to its scalability is its portion executed sequentially. Finally, it was observed that the proposed methodology has advantages compared to others, as a formalization in its analysis steps.
