Full textEsta investigação explora o fenómeno da Sinestesia - mistura e associação de sentidos - como base criativa na área do Design de Moda. Será que as percepções sinestésicas de um indivíduo fornecem dados suficientes para serem a única base de inspiração na concepção de vestuário? Para constituir hipótese, foi efectuada uma investigação sobre a sinestesia, as suas variantes e as suas condicionantes, e sobre a concepção de vestuário e os elementos essenciais a ter em conta no desenvolvimento de uma colecção de moda. A hipótese colocada pela investigadora foi que de facto a sinestesia pode ser a única inspiração na concepção de uma colecção, dado que as percepções sinestésicas incluem cores, formas, texturas e manchas/padrões - dados que vão de encontro aos elementos do design essenciais à concepção de vestuário. Para provar a hipótese, realizou-se um projecto experimental envolvendo um grupo de casos de estudo, todos sinestésicos, que culminou na concepção de um projecto de moda baseado exclusivamente nos dados provenientes dessa experiência. O projecto foi o principal objectivo da investigação e constitui a validação da hipótese, sendo a sua prova prática. A colecção final é um espelho do trabalho de investigação, dos quatro sinestésicos que participaram na experiência e do fenómeno da sinestesia em si. Obteve-se, assim, o resultado perfeito para uma investigação cuja uma temática é tão fascinante e fora do comum. Este projecto de investigação prova ainda que é possível a interligação de duas áreas completamente distintas - a Neurologia e o Design de Moda - de maneira harmoniosa e bem sucedida, originando um resultado inovador, que faz jus à temática da sinestesia e é enriquecedor para ambas as áreas.
This investigation explores the phenomenon of Synesthesia - a mix and association of senses - as a creative basis for Fashion Design. Can synesthetic perceptions provide enough data to be the only inspiration in the creation of clothes? In order to create an hypothesis, a deep investigation was carried out, focusing synesthesia and its variants, as well as the conception of clothing and the elements we have to keep in mind while creating a collection. The hypothesis was that indeed synesthesia could be the only inspiration in the conception of a collection, since synesthetic perceptions include colors, shapes, textures and patterns – all of which conform to the design elements that are essential to the conception of clothing. In order to prove this hypothesis, an experimental project took place, implicating a group of case studies, all synesthetes, that culminates with the conception of a fashion project based exclusively on the data gathered from that experience. This project was the main goal of the investigation and it is the validation of the hypothesis, its practical proof. The collection mirrors the investigation, the four synesthetes that took part in the experience and the phenomenon of synesthesia itself. This way, starting with a very unusual, peculiar and fascinating subject, we managed to reach a perfect conclusion for our investigation,. This project also proves that it is possible to connect two completely different areas – Neurology and Fashion Design – harmoniously and successfully, creating an innovative result that merits synesthesia and enriches both areas.

Water is a vital element in human health and a determining factor in the pace of human evolution; however, the presence of emerging pollutants threatens its quality and may endangers the well-being of people and the environment. This work stands out for the development of a composite material based on nanotechnology to be used as an electroanalitic sensor in aqueous solutions with the Metronidazole drug which is considered an emerging pollutant. Initially the polymeric fibers were produced based on ecovio® and carbon nanotubes multilayer (MWCNT’s). In order to evaluate the parameters that could interfere in the process of electrospinning and to understand the interaction between the polymer and the MWCNT’s, a fractional factorial design and physicochemical characterizations analysis were used, which were: optical micrography scanning electron microcopy (SEM), mechanical analysis, wettability by contact angle, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DSC) and X-ray diffraction. For the porpuse of fabricating the sensor, the fibers were calcinated and the obtained residue was characterized by SEM and FTIR. The statistical data and the images of optical microscopy and SEM showed that the addition of MWCNT’s is the parameter that most influences the diameter of the obtained microfibers (1.16 ± 0.22 µm) so that their presence decreases the diameter and results in fibers more uniform and homogeneous. After selecting the ideal conditions an experiment was done with the following process and solution parameters: concentration of ecovio® 15,00% (m/v) and MWCNT’s 0,60% (m/v); flow: 1.80 mL.h-1; distance: 16 cm and applied voltage: 18 kV. The morphology and diamater os the fibers was obtained using SEM images and showed an average diameter of 1.59±0.61 µm. It was also demonstrated a better mechanical performance after the addition of MWCNT’s to the fibers, so that they presented greter elasticity (180%) and significant increase on the elastic resistance (163%) and tensile strength (107%), besides the analysis of wettability from the contact angle suggest that the carbon-based nanomaterial is inside the polymeric microfibers. The interactions between the MWCNT’s and the polymer were better evaluated by vibracional aspects by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and showed the interaction between the MWCNT’s and the functional group C=O characteristic of the group ester of the polymers. The analysis of thermogravimetry (TGA) demonstrated a higher stability. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed a higher stability of the poly (lactic acid) component and lower resistances of the poly (butylene adipate co-terephtalate) component in the polymer blend. Besides it was necessary a constant temperature of 550 ºC during 50 minutes to the total degradation of the polymer. By differential thermal analysis (DSC) it was possible to confirm the interactions proposed by FTIR and TGA, which indicate that the interaction occurs preferentially with the aliphatic chains of the ecovio® polymer. After the calcination of the fibers, the obtained residue was characterized by FTIR and MEV and variations in the characteristics of pure MWCNT's can be observed, with reduction of the corboxylic groups for the calcined and electrospun/calcined MWCNT's, as well as the formation of lamella for the MWCNT's electrospun/calcined. The electrochemical measurements using the cyclic voltammetry technique showed that the sensor is promising for determination of Metronidazole.
A água é um elemento vital e determinante no ritmo da evolução humana, contudo a presença de poluentes emergentes ameaça sua qualidade e põe em risco o bem estar humano e ambiental. O presente trabalho destaca-se por desenvolver um material compósito formado por poli (butileno adipato co-tereftalato) (PBAT) e poli (ácido lático) (PLA) para ser utilizado como sensor eletroanalítico em soluções aquosas contendo o fármaco metronidazol. Inicialmente produziu-se fios poliméricos a base de ecovio® e nanotubos de carbono de paredes múltiplas (MWCNT’s). A fim de avaliar os fatores interferentes do processo e compreender a interação entre o polímero e os MWCNT’s utilizou-se um planejamento fatorial fracionário e análises de caracterização físico-química tais como: micrografia ótica, microscopia eletronica de varredura (MEV), análise mecanica, molhabilidade por angulo de contato, espectroscopia vibracional de infravermelho por transformada de Fourrier, análise termogravimétrica (TGA), calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC) e difratometria de raio X (DRX).Para a construção do sensor eletroquímico as fibras foram calcinadas e o resíduo obtido foi caracterizado pelas ténicas de MEV e FTIR. Os resultados estatísticos em conjunto com as imagens de microscopia ótica e MEV demonstram que a adição de MWCNT’s é o parâmetro que mais influência no diâmetro das microfibras (1,16 ± 0,22 µm) obtidas, de modo, que sua inserção diminui este parâmetro deixando as fibras mais uniformes e homogêneas. Após a escolha das condições ideais procedeu-se um experimento com os seguintes parâmetros da solução e do processo de eletrofiação: ecovio® 15,00% (m/v) e MWCNT’s 0,60% (m/v); fluxo: 1,80 mL.h-1; distância: 16 cm e tensão: 18 kV. A morfolagia e o diâmetro das fibras foram realizadas usando as imagens de MEV e apresentam diâmetro médio de 1,59±0,61 µm. Foi evidenciado também um melhor desempenho mecanico após a inserção de MWCNT’s às fibras de modo que as fibras apresentam maior elasticidade (180%) e um aumento significativo da resistência elástica (163%) e tensão de ruptura (107%). Ademais a análise de molhabilidade por ângulo de contato sugere que o nanomaterial a base de carbono encontra-se no interior das microfibras poliméricas. As interações entre o MWCNT’s e os polímeros foram melhor avaliadas pelos espectros vibracionais de infravermelho por transformada de Fourrier (FTIR) e evidenciam a interação entre MWCNT’s e o grupamento funcional C=O, característicos dos grupamentos ésteres dos polímeros. As análises de termogravimetria (TGA) demonstram uma maior estabilidade do componente poli (ácido lático) e uma menor estabilidade do poli (butileno adipato co-tereftalato) na blenda polimérica, além disso, foi necessário uma temperatura constante de 550 ºC durante 50 minutos para degradar totalmente o polímero.Pela análise térmica diferencial (DSC) foi possível confirmar as interações propostas pelo FTIR e TGA, que indicam que a interação ocorre preferencialmente com as cadeias alifáticas do polímero ecovio®. Após a calcinação das fibras, para o preparo do sensor, o resíduo obtido foi caracterizado por FTIR e MEV e pode-se observar mudanças na caracteristica dos MWCNT’s puros com diminuição dos grupos carboxilicos para os MWCNT’s tratados termicamente e eletrofiados/calcinados, além da formação de lamelas para o MWCNT’s eletrofiados/calcinados. As medidas eletroquímicas usando a tecnica de voltametria cíclica, mostram que o sensor é promissor para determinação de metronidazol.

Full textCeramic tliermistors based on manganese, nickel and cobalt oxides were prepared by mixing these oxides followed by pressing and sintering at 1250 °C range. The oxides were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis, and by the determination of particle size distribution by laser scattering. After sintering. X-ray diffraction. X-ray fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy analyses were carried out. The thermistor behavior was studied by two-probe dc electrical resistivity measurements in the room temperature-220 °C range. The main results show the possibility of designing thermistors with the required electrical response by suitable choice of the relative concentrations of the precursor oxides.

TinyOS is an open-source component based operating system designed for highly memory constrained wireless embedded sensor network. TinyOS includes interfaces and components for communication management, routing and data acquisition tools to be refined further for custom applications. This project aims at developing a system which detects overlapping paths for data collection in different applications in the network and utilizing that information for efficient data acquisition. This prevents a reconfiguring the entire network of wireless sensor nodes (called motes) for each new application request. The application for initial or first data acquisition request tries to build the tree architecture on motes in the network where each node in the tree knows its immediate parent and children. The application builds the tree routed at the base station for the initial request and each intermediate node sends data to its parent when the data request is made. Each base station can request Light, Temperature and Passive Infrared sensory data from all or a subset of motes present in the system. When a new base station comes and connects to the network through a mote/node in the tree, the system reconfigures only those parts of the tree built in the initial phase which do not overlap with the tree required for the new base station as the root, all the other overlapping parts of the tree are left unchanged. We present experimental result to illustrate the efficiency of the approach.

This work presents the development of an electrochemical sensor obtained from the modification of the polyurethane graphite composite electrode with Ag-A zeolite, an aluminosilicate of LTA structure modified with Silver, and its application in the determination of chloride ions, Cl-, in samples of Fuel ethanol. The aluminosilicates were synthesized by the hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy. The obtained materials were then used as modifiers in the proportion of 10% in GPU electrodes, in order to make a comparison between the electrodes without modification and modified with Na-A and Ag-A using the technique of voltammetry of Cyclic. The results showed that the incorporation of Ag into the pores of the material promotes an improvement in the electrical and analytical properties of the electrode. The analytical response of the sensor in the determination of the Clion showed that the GPU-Ag-A electrode responds selectively to the chloride in terms of the decrease in peak current compared to the GPU or GPU-Na-A electrodes. The best response was obtained with electrodes modified with 10% Ag-A. With this percentage composition, the experimental conditions, deposition potential, deposition time, ladder potential, frequency and pH were optimized for analysis by square wave voltammetry in an electrochemical cell containing 2.0 mL of ethanol, 8.0 mL of NaNO3 1.0 mol L-1 and a Clconcentration of 2.5 × 10-5 mol L-1. The Ag-A modified sensor was then evaluated for electroanalytical determination of Clions in fuel ethanol samples presenting linear response. Good results were obtained for the detection limit (3,21 x 10-6 mol L-1), quantification limit (1.07 x 10-5 mol L-1), recovery (87%) and linearity (0.998) . Cu+2 and SO4-2 ions, present in the analysis matrix, did not present significant interference in chloride determination.
Este trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento de um sensor eletroquímico obtido a partir da modificação do eletrodo compósito de grafite poliuretana com zeólita Ag-A, um aluminosilicato de estrutura LTA modificado com Prata, e sua aplicação na determinação de íons cloreto, Cl-, em amostras de etanol combustível. Os aluminosilicatos foram sintetizados através do método hidrotérmico e caracterizados por difração de raios-X, microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Os materiais obtidos foram, então, utilizados como modificadores na proporção de 10% em eletrodos GPU, a fim de realizar-se uma comparação entre os eletrodos sem modificação e modificados com Na-A e Ag-A mediante a utilização da técnica de voltametria de cíclica. Os resultados mostraram que a incorporação do Ag aos poros do material promove uma melhora nas propriedades elétricas e analíticas do eletrodo. A resposta analítica do sensor na determinação do íon Cl-, mostrou que o eletrodo GPU-Ag-A responde de maneira seletiva ao cloreto, em termos de diminuição de corrente de pico, comparado aos eletrodos GPU ou GPU-Na-A. A melhor resposta foi obtida com eletrodos modificados com 10% de Ag-A. Com esta composição percentual, as condições experimentais, potencial de deposição, tempo de deposição, potencial de escada, frequência e pH, foram otimizadas para analise por voltametria de onda quadrada, em uma célula eletroquímica contendo 2,0mL de etanol, 8,0mL de NaNO3 1,0 mol L-1 e uma concentração de Clde 2,5×10-5 mol L-1. O sensor modificado com Ag-A foi então avaliado para determinação eletroanalítica de íons Clem amostras de etanol combustível apresentando resposta linear. Bons resultados foram obtidos para o limite de detecção (3,21×10-6 mol L-1), limite de quantificação (1,07×10-5 mol L-1 ), recuperação (87%) e linearidade (0,998). Íons Cu2+ e SO4-2, presentes na matriz de analise, não apresentaram interferência significativa na determinação do cloreto.

Resumo: Neste trabalho descreve-se a construção e aplicação de dispositivos analíticos 2D e 3D à base de papel com detecção eletroquímica (ePAD). Os dispositivos foram construídos empregando o método de impressão com cera e diferentes tipos de papéis. Eletrodos de ouro foram utilizados juntamente com o conceito da separação cromatográfica em dispositivos microfluídicos. No canal microfluídico à base de papel foi possível realizar a separação de ácido ascórbico e dopamina em 14 minutos. A necessidade por processos de fabricação mais simples e de baixo custo nos motivou a estudar eletrodos de carbono em ePADs. Assim, eletrodos de grafite de lapiseira foram selecionados visando o desenvolvimento de um biossensor para glicose. O biossensor apresentou uma excelente resposta eletroquímica e um tempo de análise de 4 minutos. O mesmo eletrodo de grafite foi acoplado com um sistema de informação para determinação de p-nitrofenol. Assim, foi possível detectar 1,0 mmol L de p-nitrofenol em amostras de água e analisar/interpretar os resultados empregando um celular. Por fim, a necessidade por sistemas eletroquímicos com menores limites de detecção nos impulsionou a fabricar microeletrodos de pasta de carbono. Os microeletrodos foram fabricados em folhas de transparência e acoplados no papel empregando uma configuração do tipo sanduíche. Os dispositivos foram caracterizados eletroquimicamente na presença de cisteína e apresentaram uma constante cinética de 10 L mol s. Um limite de detecção de 4,8 mmol L para cisteína foi obtido empregando um arranjo de microeletrodos. Por fim, os microeletrodos de pasta de carbono foram utilizados para a construção de um biossensor visando a determinação de metil paration. O ePAD foi construído de modo a acomodar o substrato (acetiltiocolina) e a enzima (acetilcolinesterase) no mesmo dispositivo
Abstract: This thesis describes the construction and application of 2D and 3D electrochemical paper-based analytical devices (ePADs). The devices were constructed using the wax printing method and different types of papers. Gold electrodes were employed along with the concept of chromatographic separation in microfluidic devices. By using the paper-based microfluidic channel it was possible to perform the separation of ascorbic acid and dopamine in 14 minutes. The need for simpler and low cost manufacturing processes motivated us to study carbon electrodes in ePADs. Thus, pencil graphite electrodes were selected for the development of a biosensor for glucose. The biosensor exhibited excellent electrochemical response and analysis time of 4 minutes. The same graphite electrode was coupled to an information system for the determination of p-nitrophenol. Thus, it was possible to detect 1.0 mmol L of p-nitrophenol in water samples and analyze/interpret the results using a smartphone. Finally, the need for electrochemical systems with lower limits of detection made us to search for carbon paste microelectrodes. The microelectrodes were fabricated on transparency sheets and coupled on paper using a sandwich-type configuration. The devices were characterized electrochemically in the presence of cysteine and had a rate constant of 10 L mol s. A detection limit of 4.8 mmol L for cysteine was obtained using an array of microelectrodes. By last, carbon paste microelectrodes were used to construct a biosensor in order to determine methyl parathion. The ePAD was constructed to accommodate the substrate (acetylthiocholine ) and enzyme ( acetylcholinesterase ) in the same device

Full textThe goal of this research work is the realization of devices based on silicon nanowires, realized using sidewall spacer formation technique. Nanowires are synthesized form a polycrystalline silicon layer deposited by LPCVD technique (Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition). These nanowires are then integrated into electronic devices such as resistors and transistors made using two different configurations “bottom-gate” and “step-gate”. The electrical characteristics of these two types of transistors have shown adequate electrical properties for their use as sensors. A simulation is made, to explain how additional electrical charges on the surface of the nanowires, affect the electron concentration inside the active layer. The devices are firstly used for the pH measurement, and have shown sensitivity higher than the Nernstian sensitivity detection. For a use as biosensor, nanowires are functionnalized to allow the binding of DNA probes. Electronic detection of hybridization complementary probe/target DNA strands is demonstrated with a low detection limit. Finally, in order to increase the exchange surface between the nanowires and charged species, resistors based on suspended nanowires were developed. Different tests were performed in the presence of ammonia and showed a linear response over a range of concentrations. Resistors based on suspended nanowires highlighted greater sensitivity than those based on unsuspended nanowires, bringing out the important effect of the surface of the nanowires. All these results demonstrate the feasibility of chemical and biological sensors based on silicon nanowires compatible with conventional microelectronics techniques using a low-cost process

Resumo: Neste trabalho descreve-se o desenvolvimento de sensores amperométricos a base de um simples eletrodo de pasta de carbono modificado com um novo mediador redox, a 4-nitroftalonitrila (4-NO2FN), para a determinação de alguns antioxidantes de relevância biológica [L-cisteína (L-CySH), L-glutationa (L-GSH), ácido L-ascórbico (L-AscH2), ácido úrico (AU) e nicotinamida adenina dinucleotídeo (forma reduzida) (NADH)]. Com este propósito, inicialmente, a 4-NO2FN foi ativada in situ, gerando o par redox nitroso/hidroxilamina (4-NOFN/4- NHOHFN) estável na superfície eletródica, o qual apresentou atividade electrocatalítica na oxidação dos analitos estudados. As técnicas empregadas para a realização deste trabalho foram voltametria cíclica e cronoamperometria, as quais foram utilizadas para estudar o comportamento dos eletrodos modificados, para otimização dos parâmetros experimentais, obtenção dos parâmetros cinéticos e caracterização analítica dos sensores. Além disso, os estudos hidrodinâmicos e cronoamperométricos foram realizados com o objetivo de se obter maiores informações sobre os processos de oxidação entre L-AscH2, NADH e os eletrodos modificados. Assim, por meio dos gráficos e equações de Koutech- Levich e Cottrell foi possível obter os valores para o coeficiente de difusão (D) e constante de velocidade da reação (kobs) para L-AscH2 e NADH. Os valores do D e de kobs, determinados para L-AscH2 e NADH, foram de 9,0x10 cm s e 2,4x10 cms, 6,0x10 molL s e 1,0x10 molL s, respectivamente. O aumento na velocidade de reação, tanto para o L-AscH2 quanto para o NADH, foi atribuído à eficiente transferência de elétrons entre estas espécies e o par redox 4-NOFN/4-NHOHFN eletrogerado in situ. Sob condições otimizadas, o sensor amperométrico apresentou uma faixa de resposta linear (mmol L), limite de detecção (mmol L), quantificação (mmol L) e sensibilidade (nA L mmol) para L-CySH (a), L-GSH (b), L-AscH2 (c), AU (d) e NADH (e), os quais apresentaram os valores de (a) 0,8-13,2, 0,25, 0,8, 37,0; (b) 8,0-83,0, 2,7, 8,0, 54,0; (c)5,0-120,0, 1,6, 5,5, 108,0; (d) 5,0- 120,0, 1,3, 4,5, 121,6 e (e) 0,8-8,5, 0,25, 0,82, 500,0, respectivamente. Após a aplicação destes sensores em amostras de interesse, estudos de adição e recuperação dos analitos foram realizados para avaliar a exatidão dos métodos e verificou-se que foi possível uma percentagem de recuperação entre 98,5 e 102,0% para L-CySH, L-GSH, L-AscH2 e AU
Abstract: In this work, the development of amperometric sensors based on a simple carbon paste electrode modified with a new redox ¿mediator¿, 4- nitrophthalonitrile (4-NO2PH), for quantification of some antioxidants of biological relevance (L-cystein (L-CySH), L-glutathione (L-GSH), L-ascorbic acid (L-AscH2), uric acid (UA) and b-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)), is described. For this purpose, initially, 4-NO2PH was activated in situ, generating a stable redox-active nitroso/hydroxylamine system (4- NOPH/4-NHOHPH) on the electrodic surface, which presented electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of studied analytes. The techniques used in this work were cyclic voltammetry and cronoamperometry, to study the behavior of the modified electrodes, for the experimental parameters optimization, for the attainment of the kinetic parameters and analytical characterization of the sensors. Hydrodynamic and cronoamperometric studies were carried out with the aim to get information on the reduction processes and oxidation of L-AscH2 and NADH, respectively, on the modified electrodes. Through the Koutech-Levich and Cotrell plots it was possible to obtain the values for the diffusion coefficient (D) and kinetic constant of the reaction (kobs) for the analytes in study. The values of the diffusion coefficient and kobs, determined for L-AscH2 and NADH were 9,0x10 cm s and 2,4x10 cms, 6,0x10 molL s and 1,0x10 molL s, respectively. The increase of the reaction rate for L-AscH2 and NADH was attributed to the efficient electron transfer between the studied species and immobilized electroactive species on the surface of the carbon paste electrode. After optimizing conditions, the sensor provided a linear response range (mmol L), limit of detection (LOD) (mmol L), limit of quantification (LOQ) (mmol L) and sensitivity (nA L mmol) for L-CySH (a), L-GSH (b), L-AscH2 (c), UA (d) e NADH (e) of (a) 0.8-13.2, 0.25, 0.8, 37.0; (b) 8.0-83.0, 2.7, 8.0, 54.0; (c)5.0-120.0, 1.6, 5.5, 108.0; (d) 5.0-120.0, 1.3, 4.5, 121.6 and (e) 0.8- 8.5, 0.25, 0.82, 500.0, respectively. After the application of these sensors in samples of interest, studies of addition and recovery of the analytes were carried out to evaluate the error of the methods and it was verified recovery percentages between 98.5 and 102.0% for L-CySH, L-GSH, L-AscH2 and AU, were obtained

O senso de justiça é um dos elementos essenciais para a criação de uma comunidade justa e democrática nos moldes apresentados em A theory of justice. A virada política de Rawls, centrada na análise da estabilidade social e da legitimidade do poder diante a pluralidade de concepções morais presentes nas sociedades atuais, não eliminou totalmente a importância do senso de justiça na justificação pública proposta em Political liberalism. Nesse sentido, afirma-se que a moralidade em Rawls tem uma função social, pois visa defender o indivíduo frente à sociedade sem ter a coerção externa como principal fonte de motivação para cumprir seus preceitos. A partir desse quadro, o presente trabalho objetiva demonstrar que Rawls apresenta uma concepção de Direito embasada em princípios de justiça expressos no acordo Constitucional. Rawls garante um modelo de sistema jurídico afastado do positivismo jurídico e do utilitarismo, capaz de garantir um sentido democrático diferente, afastado da mera tentativa de legitimação da autoridade política através de um discurso normativo. Por fim, conclui-se que tal modelo garante uma atividade jurisdicional caracterizada pela responsabilidade de manter os princípios de justiça aceitos por todos os cidadãos no acordo constitucional. Dessa forma, as decisões relativas às questões sociais essenciais não serão influenciadas por interesses de maiorias transitórias, nem pelas concepções morais individuais dos julgadores, respeitando a coerência de um sistema de justiça construído a partir de juízos democráticos.
The sense of justice is one of the essential elements for the creation of a fair and democratic community as presented in A theory of justice. Rawls's political shift, focusing on the analysis of social stability and legitimacy of power before the plural moral concepts present in current societies, has not totally eliminated the relevance of the sense of justice in the public justification proposed in Political liberalism. In this sense, it is said that morality in Rawls has a social function, once it aims at defending the individual before society without external coercion as a main source of motivation to fulfill its precepts. Based on this picture, the purpose of this study is to show that Rawls presents a concept of Law based on principles of justice expressed in the constitutional settlement. Rawls establishes a model for the legal system distant from legal positivism and utilitarianism, one that is capable of assuring a different democratic sense, distant from the mere attempt to legitimize political authority through a normative discourse. Finally, it is concluded that such model assures a jurisdictional activity characterized by the responsibility to make all citizens in the constitutional settlement accept the justice criteria. Thus, decisions regarding essential social issues shall not be influenced by interests of the transient majorities, nor by the individual moral conceptions of the judges, this way respecting the coherence of a legal system built on democratic judgments.

Full textThis study is dedicated to the optimization of chemical gas sensors based on resistive type tin dioxide (SnO2) for automotive exhaust application. The sensors were produced by screen-printing technique which allows mass production of robust sensors on alumina substrate. In regards of the automotive application, the sensors were optimized by adding a porous protective layer deposited on the sensing element SnO2. The behaviour of this type of gas sensors was studied depending on gas parameters such as gas temperature and velocity, representative of real operation conditions. In addition, a “simple” modelisation of the electrical response of sensors depending on the concentration of one or more gaseous targets is proposed

Full textIn this work, a silica based bioinorganic hybrid containing chitosan (SiO2/QT) was prepared using TEOS as precursor and varying the concentration of chitosan, from 0,5% to 4,0% (w/w). The obtained materials were properly characterized, the results showed that are mesoporous with pore size between 6,2 to 7,3 nm. The materials present adequate thermal stability and higher amount of chitosan was possible to impregnate on hybrid with the increase of its concentration on synthesis. Copper (II) tetrasulfonated phtalocyanine was immobilized on surface of hybrid and used as matrix for the construction of carbon paste electrode. By cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse it was assessed as a new electrochemical sensor of acetaminophen, being highly sensitive (173 μA.L mmol-1) and selective for determination of acetaminophen in the presence of dopamine as interference, because this species can cause interference during the detection of acetaminophen in biological means. The results showed a good separation and definition of oxidation peaks of acetaminophen (0.30 V) and dopamine (0.11 V). The electrode containing 1,0% chitosan showed the best results. It was also prepared a bioinorganic hybrid carbon ceramic SiO2/QT/C-graphite material varying the concentration of graphite, from 50 to 60% (m/m). The results showed that they are mesoporous materials and present similar textural properties, with 6.6 nm pore size and are thermally stable. A study of the electrochemical behavior of potassium ferricyanide and ferrocyanide using these materials are presented. On the surface of the composites materials was immobilized ferrocene carboxylic acid. Measurements by cyclic voltammetry showed that the electrode development with this material for acetaminophen showed oxidation peaks no definite at 0.35 V and attributed to the oxidation of paracetamol.

?-Nicotinamida adenina dinucleot?deo (NADH) e sua forma oxidada correspondente (NAD+) representam uma coenzima de grande import?ncia em centenas de rea??es naturais catalisadas por enzimas desidrogenase, sendo vitais no metabolismo respirat?rio mitocondrial por estimular a produ??o de energia e atuam como principais transportadoras de cargas centrais em c?lulas vivas. Por estes motivos, a determina??o eletroqu?mica de NADH tem atra?do consider?vel aten??o no desenvolvimento de sensores. Neste trabalho foi desenvolvido um sensor para a determina??o voltam?trica de NADH de forma sens?vel e seletiva. O m?todo baseia-se num eletrodo de carbono v?treo modificado com ftalocianina tetrassulfonada de n?quel (NiTsPc - complexo macroc?clico N4), grafeno e DNA, designado por ECV/Grafeno/DNA/NiTsPc. A espectroscopia de infravermelho por transformada de fourier foi utilizada para caracterizar os materiais que comp?em a modifica??o. O processo de oxida??o do NADH foi investigado por voltametria c?clica (VC), cronoamperometria e voltametria de pulso diferencial (VPD). O sensor Grafeno/DNA/NiTsPc apresentou uma excelente atividade catal?tica para a oxida??o de NADH em baixo potencial. Par?metros experimentais que influenciam a resposta anal?tica do sensor foram investigados. As condi??es ?timas, para a eletrocat?lise da oxida??o de NADH sobre o ECV/Grafeno/DNA/NiTsPc, foram encontradas para o eletrodo modificado com 0,5 mg mL-1 de grafeno e 1 mmol L-1 de NiTsPc, com a concentra??o de DNA pr? estabelecida em 2 mg mL-1, utilizando-se o tamp?o fosfato 0,1 mol L-1 (pH 7,0) como eletr?lito suporte. O estudo da cin?tica da rea??o de oxida??o de NADH sobre o ECV/Grafeno/DNA/NiTsPc permitiu concluir que a rea??o promovida ? de ordem estequiom?trica 1, envolve 2 el?trons e ocorre de forma r?pida uma vez que o Kobs obtido foi 7,35 x 105 mol-1 L s-1. As correntes de pico voltam?tricas apresentaram uma resposta linear para a concentra??o de NADH no intervalo de 1 a 200 ?mol L-1 para n = 9 (R = 0,998), com sensibilidade, limite de detec??o e limite de quantifica??o iguais a 0,010 ?A L mol-1, 0,3 ?mol L-1 e 1 ?mol L-1, respectivamente. Estudos de adi??o e recupera??o do analito foram realizados para avaliar a exatid?o do m?todo e verificou-se que foi poss?vel uma porcentagem de recupera??o entre 99,8 e 101,0% para o NADH. A repetibilidade de medidas e a reprodutibilidade do preparo do sensor foram avaliadas pelo desvio padr?o relativo de 10 determina??es de NADH a 50 ?mol L-1, obtendo-se DPR?s (Desvios Padr?es Relativos) iguais a 2,33 e 3,13 %, respectivamente. A interfer?ncia de esp?cies que podem coexistir com o NADH em fluidos biol?gicos foi avaliada e concluiu-se que o sensor foi seletivo para o analito. Contudo, o sensor desenvolvido de forma simples, por?m efetiva, pode ser aplicado para a determina??o de NADH.

ABSTRACT ?-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and its corresponding oxidized form (NAD+) represent a coenzyme of great importance in hundreds of natural reactions catalyzed by dehydrogenase enzymes, being vital in mitochondrial respiratory metabolism by stimulating the production of energy and act as the main carriers central loads in living cells. For these reasons, the electrochemical determination of NADH has attracted considerable attention in the development of sensors. In this work was developed a sensor for the voltammetric determination of NADH sensitively and selectively. The method is based on a glassy carbon electrode modified with tetrasulfonated nickel phthalocyanine (NiTsPc - N4 macrocyclic complex), graphene and DNA, designate ECV/Graphene/DNA/NiTsPc. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to characterize the materials composing the modification. The NADH oxidation process was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The sensor Graphene/DNA/NiTsPc showed an excellent catalytic activity for NADH oxidation in low potential. Experimental parameters which influence the analytical response of the sensor were investigated. The optimum conditions for the NADH oxidation electrocatalytic on ECV/Graphene/DNA/NiTsPc were found to the modified electrode with 0,5 mg mL-1 of graphene and 1 mmol L-1 NiTsPc, with the concentration of DNA predetermined at 2 mg mL-1 using the phosphate buffer 0.1 mol L-1 (pH 7.0) as supporting electrolyte. The study of the kinetics of the reaction of NADH oxidation on the ECV /Grafeno/DNA/NiTsPc allowed us to conclude that the reaction promoted is of stoichiometric order 1, involves 2 electrons and occurs quickly once the Kobs obtained was 7.35 x 105 mol-1 L s-1. The voltammetric peak currents showed a linear response for NADH concentration in the range from 1 up 200 mmol L-1 for n = 9 (R = 0.998), with a sensitivity, detection limit and quantification limit of 0.010 ?A L mol-1, 0.3 ?mol L-1 and 1 ?mol L-1, respectively. Studies of addition and recovery of the analyte were carried out to evaluate the accuracy of the method and was verified a recovery percentage between 99,8 and 101,0% for NADH. The repeatability of the measurements and the reproducibility of the preparation of the sensor were evaluated by means of the Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) for 10 measurements of NADH 50 ?mol L-1, obtaining RSD (Relative Standards Deviations) equal to 2.33 and 3.13%, respectively. The interference of species that can coexist with the NADH in biological fluids was evaluated and it was concluded that the sensor was selective for the analyte. However, the sensor developed in a simple, but effective, can be applied to the determination of NADH.

Full textIn this work silica/titania materials were synthetized by sol-gel method by using different ratios of inorganic precursors and the obtained materials were applied as electrochemical sensors and biosensors. The materials were characterized using different techniques aiming to evaluate the textural, morphological and structural properties. The electrochemical behavior of the silica/titania materials was evaluated by Cyclic Voltammetry that allows estimating the optimum amount of titania in the resultant material. The electrochemical behavior guided the choice for developing modified materials containing magnetite particles (SiTiMPs-Ty) and gold nanoparticles (SiTi30- Au). After to achieve the best electrochemical conditions of pH and the best atmosphere, the resultant materials were applied in the development of modified carbon paste electrodes (CPE). The SiTi30-Au CPE and SiTiMPs-Ty CPE were applied in simultaneous electrochemical analysis of phenolic compounds by using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). It was also evaluated the electrochemical response of these modified CPEs in interferences analysis The modified CPE/SiTi30-Au showed a linear response between peak current intensity and concentrations of dopamine and norepinephrine in a range from 50 to 400 mol L-1 and its linear response was also observed in simultaneous analysis of these compounds. The limits of detection were estimated as 0.35 mol L-1 and 0.57 mol L-1 for norepinephrine and dopamine, respectively. The modified SiTiMPs-Ty/CPE was used for simultaneous electrochemical determination of catechol and epinephrine presenting a linear response in a range from 40 to 380 μmol.L-1 and the limits of detection were 3.32 μmol L-1 for catechol and 1.65 μmol L-1 for epinephrine. Both electrodes presented a good reproducibility with relative standard deviations of 5.86% and 6.87% for SiTiMPs-Ty/CPE and SiTi30-Au/CPE, respectively. Therefore, the modified silica/titania CPEs obtained in this work showed a good electrochemical response in electrochemical simultaneous determination of phenolic compounds presenting low limits of detection and great sensitivities in the presence of the studied analytes.

Full textGPS är en väl använd teknologi sedan många år, men på grund av dess bristande precision vid inomhuspositionering, behöver en ny teknologi för detta område hittas. Denna studie är fokuserad på Dead Reckoning som ett stöd till ett Bluetooth Direction Finding positioneringssystem. Det främsta målet är att minska felfrekvensen och felstorleken i BLE Direction Finding systemet. Föremålet som positioneras är en Micro-Electrical Mechanical System (MEMS) med en accelerometer och ett gyroskop, placerad på en vagn. Accelerometern och gyroskopet används för att erhålla en orientering, hastighetsvektor och därefter en position som kombineras med den position som ges av BLE Direction Finding. För att minska felfrekvensen ytterligare hos systemet, implementeras en funktionalitet som detekterar om MEMS-enheten är stillastående, kallad Stationary Detection. På grund av vagnens rörelsemönster, som bidrar till brus hos sensorsignalerna, samt den begränsade sensorkonfigurationen, är det inte möjligt att förbättra systemets precision med den föreslagna metoden. Dock kan Stationary Detection korrekt fastställa ett stationärt tillstånd och därmed minska felfrekvensen och energiförbrukningen för enheten.

Full textA rapidly increasing interest is actually devoted in the literature to the design of new analytical and control devices able to form efficient chemical sensors. Thus the aim of our work was the design and the development of an electrochemical sensor based on intrinsically molecularly imprinted conducting polymer for the selective and sensitive detection of small target molecules. This goal will be achieved by the used of the recognition properties of moleculary imprinted polymer, together with the electrical conduction of conducting polymer. An original electrochemical sensor based on shape memory polymer has been constructed. This sensor has been realized following two steps: (i) a frst electropolymerisation on a platinum electrode of two co-monomers Thiophene acetic acid TAA already associated through H bonding to the atrazine target and EDOT which is intinded to play the role of conjugated link between the TAA moieties and (ii) removal of atrazine from the resulting conjugated polymer, leaving recognition sites with shape memory. The obtained sensor shows remarkable properties: a high selectivity towards the triazinic family, a large detection dynamic (2.5x10−6 to 5x10−3 M) and a low detection threshold (10−6 M). In order to increase the efficiency of this sensor and to allow the detection of a wide range molecular targets, a terthienyl, i.e. two EDOT units on both sides of the -functionalized thiophene units has been syntesized. These trimers possess an oxydation peak at about +0.7 V/ Ag/AgNO3, allowing the potential development of new pre or post polymerisation functionalities, still controling of the stoechiometry and the distributuion of functional groups

Full textDenna avhandling handlar om hur befintliga datorinfrastrukturer i t.ex. sjukhus och industrier kan avlasta sensornätverk med energikrävande uppgifter. Vi har forskat på olika aspekter som gör det möjligt att förlänga livslängden på dessa sensornätverk. Avhandlingen presenterar en ny plattform för sensornätverk tillsammans med inledande simuleringar som påvisar att vår plattform ökar livslängden på dessa typer av nätverk.
Generella sensornätverk är uppbyggda av tätt grupperade, trådlösa, batteridrivna datorer som kan vara så små som en kubikmillimeter. Datorerna kallas för sensorer eller sensornoder eftersom de har en eller flera inbyggda sensorer som känner av sin omgivning. En sensor har till uppgift att samla information från sin omgivning, t.ex. temperatur, fuktighet, vibrationer, hjärtslag eller bilder. Sensorerna skickar sedan informationen till en insamlingsstation någonstans i nätverket.
I de typer av tillämpningar vi tittar på är det viktigt att minimera energiförbrukningen, så att man maximerar livslängden på sensornätverket. Avhandlingen presenterar en lösning där befintlig datorinfrastruktur fungerar som hjälpdatorer/avlastare till ett sensornätverk. Hjälpdatorerna, eller basstationerna som vi kallar dem i avhandlingen, hanterar energikrävande uppgifter som t.ex. vilken sensor som ska kommunicera med vem samt vid vilken tidpunkt etc. Då kan sensorerna i nätverket fokusera på att utföra sina egna uppgifter tills dess att basstationen säger att uppgifterna ändrats.
Simuleringar visar att vår plattform kan skicka upp till 97 % mera information till basstationen än en jämförbar plattform med samma energimängd. 88 % av våra sensorer är fortfarande vid liv när den andra plattformens sensorer förbrukat all sin energi.
Ett exempel på hur dessa typer av nätverk kan användas är att övervaka patienters hälsa och kondition i sjukhus eller sjukhem. Patienter behöver inte ha en fast sängplats där en viss typ av medicinskt övervakningsinstrument finns tillgänglig utan kan placeras där det finns en ledig sängplats. Via trådlös kommunikation skickar sensorerna sedan hälsoinformation som t.ex. hjärtfrekvens och blodtryck till en basstation som i sin tur skickar vidare till ett centralt övervakningsinstrument någonstans på sjukhuset. Övervakningsinstrumentet behandlar informationen och larmar personal med rätt kompetens vid behov. Larmet kan skickas till en mobiltelefon eller en liten handdator som personalen alltid bär med sig. Med larmet skickas även information om var patienten befinner sig och all nödvändig data för att personalen snabbt ska kunna ställa en första diagnos. På detta sätt kan man spara in på antalet specialbyggda sängplatser och slippa dyrbara installationer av medicintekniska utrustningar knutna till en sängplats.
Recent advancements in electronic design, such as low-power circuits, energy efficient wireless communication, and improved energy supply, has enabled the vision of wireless sensor networks to become a reality. Wireless sensor networks typically consist of hundreds up to thousands of collaborating low-cost, battery-driven and wireless sensor nodes with scarce resources. The wireless sensor nodes are typical small physical entities, and usually small as a matchbox but can in extreme cases be no larger than a cubic millimeter.
In this thesis we present an architecture called AROS that uses existing infrastructure to aid in the management of wireless sensor networks. As an example, the existing infrastructure could be situated in hospitals or industrial buildings. The existing infrastructure can aid in prolonging the lifetime of the wireless sensor network by having "unlimited'' energy, long range radio capacity, and high-speed computers. We enable prolonged lifetime by centralizing some of the energy consuming administrative functionality of wireless sensor networks.
We show, by simulations, that the AROS architecture is able to prolong the lifetime of the sensor nodes. AROS is compared to a well known cluster based architecture, LEACH. The comparisons show that AROS with static configuration performs at least as well as LEACH in small wireless sensor networks in the size 100x100m, and up to 97 % better in long distance wireless sensor networks in the size of 400x400m. We show that AROS still has got 88 % of its sensor nodes alive when LEACHs' network demises.
In our simulations we have also studied how dynamic network clustering in AROS, using a TDMA scheduler and non-mobile wireless sensor nodes, affects the amount of data received by a base station. We show that AROS is better than LEACH-C in collecting data to the base station with the same total amount of energy for long distance networks and that AROS performs as well or better than LEACH-C in small wireless sensor networks.

Full textThe development of energy harvesting systems is linked to the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) more specifically to the proliferation of Wireless Sensor Networks that should respond to the growing needs for monitoring data in domains as diverse as the industry, the urban environments, the home or even the human body. Recent progress in the CMOS technology have enabled to remove some of the technical obstacles to the deployment of these smart and autonomous devices, specifically thanks to the improvements of the performances of microelectronic components, the design of ultra-low-power circuits and even the creation of wireless communication standards well adapted to the needs of wireless sensors. Given the availability of ambient energy sources like mechanical, thermal, light etc., energy harvesters are becoming reliable alternatives to batteries in order to extend the autonomy of these sensors. Consequently, various technologies of generators have been developed to harvest different kind of energies in function of their availability. The present work is a contribution to the development of a thermal energy harvester based on bimetallic strips heat engine and piezoelectric membranes. This type of technology developed by STMicroelectronics is intended to be a low cost alternative to thermoelectric generators exploiting the seebeck effect to convert heat into electricity. Based on this working principle, many harvesters both at the micro and macro scale have been fabricated. This thesis deals with the development of macroscopic energy harvesters whose first proofs of concept were established in a previous thesis. An important part of this manuscript deals with the thermal optimization of this energy harvester both in static and dynamic modes. Once the thermal properties improved, various piezoelectric materials were tested and compared to find the most adapted ones to our application and the same work is realized to choose the best device’s architecture. The integration of the energy harvester is then realized and wireless sensor node applications are demonstrated using various communication protocols and sensors. SPICE modeling of the system is also made and coupled with simulations of power management circuits developed by CEA’s design team. Finally, alternative ways to exploit wasted heat and vibrations are proposed through the development of piezoelectric bimetals and dual energy harvesters able to harvest thermal energy and mechanical energy at the same time: piezoelectric bimetals are realized either by direct deposition of piezoelectric composites or piezoelectric thin films onto bimetals. In the case of the dual energy harvester, piezoelectric cantilever beams were designed and simulated to vibrate at low frequencies (between 50Hz and 125Hz)

No desenvolvimento e implementação do sistema de medição foram estudas duas proposta de dispositivos, uma com base na plataforma Arduino e outra com base no sistema OpenWrt em conjunto com um roteador. Os circuitos de captação do ruído foram desenvolvidos com base em circuitos de captação de sinais já existentes, identificando o que melhor se adaptou a proposta. O sistema de medição contempla ainda a proposta de operação remota, por meio da telemetria, de forma que o operador possa controlar as medições sem estar no local.

Abstract: The present work proposes the development of a noise measurement device, using components and electronic devices of low cost for use in the monitoring of noise in work environments. In the implementation of the measuring system were studied two proposals of devices one based on the platform Arduino and another based on the OpenWrt system together with a router. The noise pickup circuits were developed based on existing signal pickup circuits, identifying what best suited the proposal. The measurement system also contemplates the proposal of remote operation, by telemetry, so that the operator can control the measurements without being in place. For this, a wireless module was used in the Arduino and the router itself in the OpenWrt system. The proposed devices can be used both for noise monitoring and recording of noise levels continuously or at predefined time intervals, thus enabling the achievement of environmental history. For performance evaluation of the devices a commercial noise measurement system was used and the specifications and requirements of technical standards. The results showed that the system implemented based on the OpenWrt system presented a better performance, mainly in relation to its sampling rate that is higher, requiring no adjustments and the search for solutions to increase the sampling rate verified in the Arduino.

Enquanto no âmbito da Sintaxe, as técnicas, os algoritmos e as aplicações em Processamento da Língua Natural são bem estudados e já estão relativamente bem estabelecidos, no âmbito da Semântica não é possível observar ainda a mesma maturidade. Visando, então, contribuir para os estudos em Semântica Computacional, este trabalho busca maneiras de implementar algumas das ideias e dos insights propostos pela Linguística Cognitiva, que é, por si, uma alternativa à Linguística Gerativa. A tentativa é reunir algumas das ferramentas disponíveis, seja no viés computacional (Bancos de Dados, Teoria dos Grafos, Ontologias, Mecanismos de inferências, Modelos Conexionistas), seja no viés linguístico (Semântica de Frames e Teoria do Léxico Gerativo), seja no viés de aplicações (FrameNet e ontologia SIMPLE), a fim de abordar as questões semânticas de forma mais flexível. O objeto de estudo é o processo de desambiguação de Unidades Lexicais. O resultado da pesquisa realizada é corporificado na forma de uma aplicação computacional, chamada Framework LUDI (Lexical Unit Discovery through Inference), composta por algoritmos e estruturas de dados usados na desambiguação. O framework é uma aplicação de Compreensão da Língua Natural, que pode ser integrada em ferramentas para recuperação de informação e sumarização, bem como em processos de Etiquetagem de Papéis Semânticos (SRL - Semantic Role Labeling).
While in the field of Syntax techniques, algorithms and applications in Natural Language Processing are well known and relatively well established, the same situation does not hold for the field of Semantics. Aiming at contributing to the studies in Computational Semantics, this work implements ideas and insights offered by Cognitive Linguistics, which is itself an alternative to Generative Linguistics. We attempt to bring together contributions from the computational domain (Databases, Graph Theory, Ontologies, inference mechanisms, Connectionists Models), the linguistic domain (Frame Semantics and the Generative Lexicon), and the application domain (FrameNet and SIMPLE Ontology) in order to address the semantic issues more flexibly. The object of study is the process of disambiguation of Lexical Units. The results of the research are embodied in the form of a computer application, called Framework LUDI (Lexical Unit Discovery through Inference), and composed of algorithms and data structures used for Lexical Unit disambiguation. The framework is an application of Natural Language Understanding, which can be integrated into information retrieval and summarization tools, as well as into processes of Semantic Role Labeling (SRL).

Full textFor the last few years, improvised peroxide based explosives are frequently used in acts of terrorism. Their simple design does not make them less threatening than those based on TNT because they are equally as powerful as those based on TNT (trinitrotoluene). In view of the major issues of the overall safety and, in particular, the citizens' protection, it becomes necessary to enjoy reliable detection instruments. Such is the background of this PhD work which aims to develop a built-in sensor,sensitive and selective to traces of explosives, especially those based on peroxide. This electronic nose is made up of a network of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFET), and data processing hardware. After a brief introduction relating to CNTFETs for gaseous detection, we will provide the basis for the elaboration of an electronic modeling of the sensor. This modeling aims, at the end, to allow designers of integrated circuits to benefit from a simulation support of CNTFETs, required to the implementation of control and signal conditioning electronics. We will also detail what are the fundamental steps mandatory before the development of a predictive compact model based on physics, which means the topological understanding of the nanotubes network. Then, we will describe different probabilities of contacts between nanotubes. Later, we will introduce the elaboration of the electronics allowing the control of the voltages applied to the CNTFETs and the electrical signals conditioning. The objective of this conditioning is to carry electrical responses from the sensor to data processing architectures used for the detection of the different target gasses. High Voltage CMOS integrated electronics are powered by low-voltage batteries. Charge pumps and voltage boosters which generate these high voltages, have been investigated, modeled and carried out. We also provide in this dissertation a new charge pump architecture which offers, in some ranges of application, an interesting alternative to the most efficient charge pumps used until now

This work presents an analytical study on determination of 4-aminophenol (4-APh) with a system based on molecurlaly imprinted polymer (MIP) and iron protoporphyrin IX as biomimetic sensor of the peroxidase enzyme. The MIP synthesis was performed by the precipitation method and the analytical determinations by amperometric measurements with a glassy carbon electrode modified with the biomimetic system. The best analytical conditions established for 4-APh determination were: applied potential of -0.1 V vs. Ag/Agl, 0.05 mol L-1 Tris buffer solution, pH 7 and hydrogen peroxide concentration of 100 μmol L-1. Under such optimized conditions, a good linear sensor response was observed in a concentration range from 10 to 90 μmol L-1 (r>0.998), with detection and quantification limits of 3 and 10 μmol L-1, respectively. Experiments performed with tap and river water samples spiked with 4-APh resulted in 93 to 112 % recovery values, suggesting the viability of using the MIP/iron protoporphyrin IX system as biomimetic sensor for determinations of 4-APh in real samples.

Full textSpectrometry is an analytical method to access the composition and structure of the matter. Spectrometers are used in many fields. For reasons of space and mobility, many development are made to decrease the size of these spectrometers. This thesis presents the realization and characterization of a Fourier spectrometer in glass integrated optics called LLIFTS (Leaky Loop Integrated Fourier Transform Spectrometer). It uses the coupling of a plane waveguide with a bend waveguide to obtain a Fourier interferogram. Characterizations in the near infrared and visible domain were made. A spectral resolution of 7 nm (R = 221) between 1500nm and 1600nm and 3 (R = 260) 4 nm (R = 221) between 700nm and 900nm is obtained. The Fourier spectrometer developed in this thesis allows to obtain spectral resolution equivalent to other existing compact spectrometers but with an easier realisation. The measurement of the Fourier interferogram allows to detect phase changes between the two waves. So the LLIFTS can be used for applications such as optical coherence tomography (OCT). The first measurements of phase shift are presented in this thesis

Full textCaxSr1-xTi1-yFeyO3-δ, x = 0, 0.5 and 1.0, y = 0 and 0.35, ceramic compounds were synthesized by reactive solid state synthesis of CaCO3, SrCO3, TiO2 and Fe2O3, and by the polymeric precursor technique. The ceramic powders were evaluated by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Sintered ceramic pellets were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy and impedance spectroscopy. The electromotive force resulting from the exposing the pellets to partial pressure de oxygen in the ~50 ppm in the 600-1100 oC range was monitored using an experimental setup consisting of an oxygen electrochemical pump with yttria-stabilized zirconia transducer and sensor. Rietveld analysis of the X-ray data allowed for determining the crystalline structures: cubic perovskite (y = 0) and orthorhombic perovskite (y 0). The electrical conductivity was determined by the two probe impedance spectroscopy measurements in the 5 Hz-13 MHz frequency range from room temperature to approximately 200 C. The deconvolution of the [-Z\"() x Z\'()] impedance diagrams in the 300 < T(K) < 500 range shows two semicircles due to intragranular (bulk) and intergranular (grain boundary) contributions to the electrical resistivity. Sintered pellets using powders prepared by the ceramic route present higher inter- and intragranular resistivity values than pellets prepared with chemically synthesized powders. The emf signal under exposure oxygen shows that these compounds may be used in oxygen sensing devices in the 600 - 1100 C range. Scanning probe microscopy topographic analysis of the polished and thermally etched surfaces of the pellets gave details of grain morphology, showing that pellets prepared with powders synthesized by the chemical route are less porous than the ones obtained by the ceramic route. These results are in agreement with the impedance spectroscopy results.

Full textBoron-doped polycrystalline diamond electrodes (BDD) exhibit a number of advantages, including a wide potential window above 3V in aqueous media, a low background current, and excellent resilience to corrosion and fouling. These properties make it a very interesting material for the development of chemical sensors. In order to enhance the reactivity of the BDD electrodes towards a wider range of chemical compounds, we have studied the possibility to deposit on the electrode surface nanoparticles based on transition metals such as platinum or iridium. These nanoparticles exhibit an interesting electro-catalytic activity and open the way to the detection of products derived from enzymatic reactions, pesticides or many other electrochemically non-active species. The aim of this thesis work has been to propose a new method for the deposition of metallic nanoparticles on the diamond surface and to characterize them from a structural and electrochemical point of view. The objective is to develop a multi-sensor detection system composed of several BDD electrodes each functionalized using a different metal catalyst in the form of nanoparticles. The detection system thus enables to obtain a characteristic chemical fingerprint of the product to detect. By assembling several of such sensors, and coupling them with algorithmic learning / recognition methods, the system provides an improved selectivity, in a similar way to an “electronic tongue”. This was applied to several case studies, including the detection of hydrogen peroxide, scatol, indole, paraoxon and imidaclopride

Full textMicrophones are sensors which allow gauging acoustic environment through an electric representation of vibrations in the air. They can be found in most multimedia equipment and in hearing aids. In this particular application, microphone substitutes a human ear which is able to sense pressure level of sound ranging from a μPa to few Pa. The read-out circuit of microphones converts physical signal from transducer into electronic signals that can be used in any heterogeneous system involving audio processing. Transducers of microphones have known successive generation of improvement. The latest refinement is related to the emergence of MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) technology which is suitable to build compact sensor. This thesis explores the design of a readout-circuit using an innovative M&NEMS (Micro & Nano Electro Mechanical Systems) technology derived from MEMS. The thesis is structured beginning with review of existing circuits for M&NEMS microphone. A comparative study is reported considering the proposed technical specifications using simulations and a prototype was realized using discrete components. In the second phase, an innovative circuit was proposed as an ASIC solution targeting M&NEMS technology developed at CEA-LETI. The performance evaluation and the physical measurements of the proposed ASIC are detailed

Full textDuring the last twenty year, indoor swimming-pool air quality measurement campaigns confirmed the presence of toxic compounds such as chloroform (carcinogenic) at higher level than those advised by French authorities. Hence, the ability to easily perform direct detection of chloroform at concentration above the advised threshold is crucial to ensure the safety of swimmers.At the moment, no devices seems to meet such a need. This PhD work aims at preparing a colorimetric sensor suited to this application, thanks to a nanoporous material incorporating probe-molecules to specifically react with chloroform and yield a coloured product.The optimization of the Fujiwara colorimetric reaction was carried out and the best mode to be used within the nanopores in the gas phase was identified. A new type of silica-zirconia materials had to be specifically developed to resist to the harsh chemical conditions of the Fujiwara reaction.Fine-tuning of the differential reactivity of silica (slow) and zirconia (fast) precursors led to a good control of the homogeneity, absorbance and porosity of the materials which was absolutely essential to meet the specifications of transparency, porosity, mechanical stability, absorbance and ability to host the Fujiwara reaction.Such materials were successfully doped with Fujiwara reagents, and the functional material obtained was validated as a chloroform sensor

Full textFine particulate matters (PM) have a real impact on the quality of life and health of millions of people in large urban areas, especially in Asia. In order to detect them and quantify their concentration, optical PM sensors are the most widely studied, but remain relatively expensive and bulky. MEMS microcantilever transducers are widely used for gravimetric applications, for PM or gas detection, which requires high mass sensitivities (Sm) and low limits of detection (LOD). A solution is to focus on microcantilevers with high resonance frequencies (f0) and quality factors (Q), low measurement noise and low masses. Silicon microcantilevers are commonly used as gravimetric sensors and are serious candidates to meet the desired characteristics. However, screen printing has the potential for cheaper, faster and large scale manufacturing. Such microcantilevers can be actuated and f0 read-out using the piezoelectric effect. Although promising lead-free inorganic solutions exist, titanium lead zirconate (PZT) ceramics still have the best properties among piezoelectric materials. Screen-printed microcantilevers manufactured in hybrid thick-film technology, with integrated piezoelectric actuation and read-out, released using a polyester sacrificial layer and with co-firing of all the layers are presented here. Different geometries were tested from 1 mm to 2 mm wide and from 1 mm to 8 mm long, for a thickness of about 100 μm. A density ρ PZT = 7200 kg/m³ (≈ 93%ρ PZT bulk) was obtained. With a 1×2×0.1 mm³ microcantilever, a sensitivity Sm ≈ 85 Hz/μm and a LOD of 70 ng were found, compatible with applications in PM mass detection

Full textIn recent years, the development of gas sensors has grown rapidly for industrial, military and environmental applications to ensure safety and protection against harmful and toxic gases. These applications require sensitive, selective, low power and low cost sensors. The thesis work presented in this manuscript fits into this context. Its objective is the realization of a microwave sensor based on carbon nanotubes and manufactured by inkjet technology. The operating principle of the sensor is based on the frequency characterization of an RF resonator, one element of which is sensitive, thanks to the carbon nanotubes, to the presence of a surrounding gas. The manuscript addresses all the steps necessary for the realization of the sensor, namely: the design of the test devices, based on a theoretical study of their behavior, the characterization of the materials used, the fabrication on a flexible substrate by inkjet printing technique and finally the characterization of the gas sensor in terms of frequency behavior and sensitivity in the presence of gas

Full textRecently, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have emerged as one of the most exciting fields. However, the common challenge of all sensor network applications remains the vulnerability of sensor nodes due to their characteristics and also the nature of the data generated which are of large volume, heterogeneous, and distributed. On the other hand, the need to process and extract knowledge from these large quantities of data motivated us to explore Data mining techniques and develop new approaches to improve the detection accuracy, the quality of information, the reduction of data size, and the extraction of knowledge from WSN datasets to help decision making. However, the classical Data mining methods are not directly applicable to WSNs due to their constraints.It is therefore necessary to satisfy the following objectives: an efficient solution offering a good adaptation of Data mining methods to the analysis of huge and continuously arriving data from WSNs, by taking into account the constraints of the sensor nodes which allows to extract knowledge in order to make better decisions. The contributions of this thesis focus mainly on the study of several distributed algorithms which can deal with the nature of sensed data and the resource constraints of sensor nodes based on the Data mining algorithms by first using the local computation at each node and then exchange messages with its neighbors, in order to reach consensus on a global model. The different results obtained show that the proposed approaches reduce the energy consumption and the communication cost considerably which extends the network lifetime.The results also indicate that the proposed approaches are extremely efficient in terms of model computation, latency, reduction of data size, adaptability, and event detection

Full textThe objective of this study is to develop a gas sensor based on a hybrid layer of SnO2/SWNTs inorder to improve the performance of “Conventional” chemical sensors basically made from tinoxide. First, in order to control the synthesis of the sensitive material, we validated the elaborationof a sensitive layer based on tin dioxide prepared using the sol-gel process. The synthesizedmaterial was deposited by the 'microdrop' technique on a micro-platform which simultaneouslyallows the heating of the sensitive layer whilst also measuring its conductance. The study of theelectrical responses of the gas sensor in the presence of benzene has allowed us to validate thepossibility of using our prepared tin sol for the realization of gas sensitive layers. In fact, it waspossible to detect benzene at traces with an optimal temperature of the sensing layer found to be420ºC.The second part of this study describes the synthesis of the hybrid sensor obtained by dispersingSWNTs in the tin-oxide based sol. The sensitive layers made by dip-coating from the carbonnanotubes modified tin sol have clearly shown the possibility of detecting various gases (ozoneand ammonia) at room temperature. This result is one the most important points of this work tothe extent that until now the chemical sensors based on tin dioxide only showed a high sensitivityto gases when they were operated at temperatures in the range of 350 - 400ºC. Concerning the twotarget gases tested in this work, the detection limit at room temperature was evaluated at 1 ppm inthe presence of NH3 and was lower than 20 ppb in the presence of ozone.The last part of this work has focused the optimization of the detection performance of thesensitive layers. In this case, the experimental study was oriented towards examination of theeffect of various parameters such as the amount of nanotubes in the hybrid material, thecalcination temperature of the sensitive layer, the sensor working temperature and also thephysico-chemical properties of the carbon nanotubes (synthesis method, diameter...) on thedetection efficiency of the sensing layers. The results obtained in terms of detection performancewere discussed in relation to the experimental parameters used

Full textThis work focuses on improving the performance of WO3-based gas sensors with particular attention to the effect of metal additives on device sensing properties. The goal is to assess and improve the performance of sensors under different oxidizing and reducing gases. Two approaches have been taken: a theoretical approach which consists in the modeling of gas sensor resistance and an experimental approach which consists in modifying the surface of the sensitive layers by metal nanograins. The developed model allowed us to highlight the various intrinsic and structural parameters of the sensitive layer, in which it is possible to act to improve the performance of the sensors. The second approach is to add metallic nanograins. This method shows high efficiency on the sensor performance. Indeed, the results obtained with the gold nanoparticles show improved response, response and recovery times, and the time stabilization under ozone. It is the same for the additions of silver and palladium nanoparticles, even if the results are different. In the case of adding cobalt nanoparticles, a singular phenomenon is manifested by the sensor responses inversion in some cases. This property can be exploited for the selective detection of different gases, with the same sensitive layer modified by the addition of very small quantities of material
