The adoption of Augmented Reality (AR) technologies can make the provision of field services to industrial equipment more effective. In these situations, the cost of deploying skilled technicians in geographically dispersed ...

This work introduces a tessellation-based model for the declivity analysis of geographic regions. The analysis of the relief declivity, which is embedded in the rules of the model, categorizes each tessellation cell, ...

Este artigo tem como objetivo mostrar que é possível incentivar a aprendizagem informal em museus através da construção de comunidades virtuais, com base em repositórios de objetos de aprendizagem, ferramentas comunicacionais ...

Este artigo tem como objetivo mostrar que é possível incentivar a aprendizagem em museus através da construção de comunidades virtuais, com base em repositórios de objetos de aprendizagem (OA), ferramentas comunicacionais ...

Este trabalho tem por objetivo relatar os resultados preliminares de uma experiência de integração curricular, em andamento na Escola de Informática da UCPel, na área de fundamentos matemáticos da Ciência da Computação. A ...

This paper introduces the stochastic version of the Geometric Machine Model for the modelling of sequential, alternative, parallel (synchronous) and nondeterministic computations with stochastic numbers stored in a (possibly ...

This paper introduces systems of exchange values as tools for the organization of multi-agent systems. Systems of exchange values are defined on the basis of the theory of social exchanges, developed by Piaget and Homans. ...

Com o avanço tecnológico e o nível de imersão que a tecnologia representa na vida de seus usuários, novas metodologias de ensino surgem objetivando valer-se deste potencial para atingir os estudantes de forma mais eficaz. ...

The objective of the Assistives Technologies is provide to disable people a better quality of life, more independence and a social inclusion with more mobility, more communication, better learning and familiar and social ...

Lapping is a precision manufacturing process. However, the material removal rate and surface roughness show significant variation between trials for repeated experiments and, thus, the repeatability of the results depends ...

Efforts have been made in Brazil to improve the thermal performance of low-cost buildings. Since 1997 studies on low-cost housing have been developed by Nu´ cleo Orientado para a Inovac¸a˜o da Edificac¸a˜o, the construction ...

O objetivo deste artigo é realizar uma revisão da pesquisa sobre comportamento do consumidor nos periódicos brasileiros entre 2000 a 2011, avaliando artigos disponíveis na internet. A partir da análise de 127 artigos ...

This paper addresses the need to quantify tumor growth and detect changes as this information is relevant to manage the patient treatment and to aid biotechnological efforts to cure cancer (Silva et al. 2008). An interactive ...

MapReduce is a parallel programming model to process large datasets, and it was inspired by the Map and Reduce primitives from functional languages. Its first implementation was designed to run on large clusters of homogeneous ...

This work presents the ST-Audit system that audits a patient record for conformance to a particular clinical guideline. The system uses ST-Guide which models a guideline as a set of states and transitions. The audit system ...

This work analyzes the behavior of a designed embedded system composed of microprocessor, memories and SpaceWire (SpW) links under Total Ionizing Dose (TID) synthesized into a commercial flash-based FPGA from Actel. Two ...

This paper presents a hybrid technique based on software signatures and a hardware module with watchdog and decoder characteristics to detect SEU and SET faults in microprocessors. These types of faults have a major influence ...

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the efficiency of software-based techniques to mitigate SEU and SET in microprocessors. A set of well-known rules is presented and implemented automatically to transform an ...

This paper presents a non-intrusive hybrid fault detection approach that combines hardware and software techniques to detect transient faults in microprocessors. Such faults have a major influence in microprocessor-based ...
