Full textNum contexto de grande desenvolvimento e massificação das telecomunicações, provocada pela necessidade intrínseca de serviços inerentes ao contacto permanente e global de um grande número de indivíduos, têm surgido vários dispositivos que tentam responder a este novo contexto, aumento de largura de banda e processamento totalmente óptico. Um dos dispositivos importante neste cenário, nomeadamente em operações de filtragem e compensação de dispersão cromática no domínio óptico, é a rede de Bragg em fibra óptica. Como tal o objectivo principal deste trabalho é produzir FBGs para aplicações em telecomunicações e aperfeiçoar a plataforma que permite estas implementações. Inicialmente apresenta-se o princípio de funcionamento e tipos de redes Bragg. De modo a simular a resposta em amplitude e fase de redes de Bragg desenvolveu-se um software com base no método da matriz transferência. Seguidamente, estudaram-se métodos de implementação de redes de Bragg com perfil de sinc e com perfil de chirp equivalente, que permitissem obter FBGs com respostas adequadas respectivamente à filtragem óptica em sistemas multicanal, e à compensação de dispersão Procedeu-se ao estudo do sistema de gravação implementado no Instituto de Telecomunicações – Pólo de Aveiro e dos algoritmos de implementação já desenvolvidos, em especial o método de stitching. Por fim, de modo a poder caracterizar-se e retirar conclusões das redes de Bragg implementadas, efectuaram-se projectos, simulações, e gravações de redes e compararam-se as respostas das redes Bragg gravadas com as simuladas, confirmando-se a validade do procedimento suportado pela plataforma disponível.
In the subject of great development and growing field of telecommunications provoked by intrinsic necessity of inherent services of permanent contact and globally, a large number of individuals have suggested various devices that attempt to respond to this new subject, increased bandwidth and all optical processing. One of important devices in this scenario, namely in operations of filtering and compensation of chromatic dispersion in optical domain, is Bragg gratings in optical fiber. As such the main objective of this work is produce FBGs for applications in telecommunications and improve the platform that allows these implementations. Initially presents the principle function and types of Bragg’s gratings. In order to simulate the response amplitude and phase developed software based on the matrix method of transfer. Next, we studied methods of implementation of Bragg’s gratings with sinc profile and chirp equivalent profile, which would allow for FBGs with appropriate responses respectively to the optical filtering in multichannel systems, and the dispersion compensation. In this sense, recording the gratings were proceeded the study the recording system to be incorporated in the Institute of Telecommunications-Pólo de Aveiro, and in the implementation algorithms already developed, especially for the stitching method. Lastly, in characterizing and drawing conclusions of the applied gratings, simulations, projects, and recordings of Bragg’s gratings were carried out, in comparing the results of the recordings to the simulations, confirming the validity of the procedure supported by the available platform.

This work started with the study of the Fiber Bragg Gratings and their spectral and spatial properties, as well as the identification of the main physical parameters associated and their impact in the amplitude and phase response. Simultaneously, a FBG simulation algorithm was developed based on the transfer function method, for a better understanding of the FBGs characteristics. Then, we proceed to the study of the recording system at the Instituto de Telecomunicações - Pólo de Aveiro, as well as the study of the developed algorithms, with particular attention to an implementation algorithm considering the stitching method. The development of the software followed. Several simulations, designs and FBG recordings were performed and the responses of the recorded FBGs were compared to the expected ones. Finally, a number designed FBGs were characterized and tested, using an optical communication system simulator.

Começou por se efectuar uma abordagem teórica ao funcionamento das redes de Bragg, identificando-se os principais parâmetros físicos da perturbação referida, que têm impacto na sua resposta em amplitude e fase. Posteriormente, analisou-se o sistema implementado para a gravação de redes de Bragg, e desenvolveu-se um algoritmo de apoio a essa gravação. Finalmente, para um perfil de apodização definido, procedeu-se à gravação de redes de Bragg com diferentes steps, suportada pelo software implementado, e compararam-se as respostas medidas e simuladas em cada caso.

This work focuses on the development of an algorithm to support a Bragg gratings’ recording system, based on the stitching method, by overlapping sections of perturbed refraction index with a defined length (step). First, we made a theoretical approach to the operation of Bragg gratings, identifying the main physical parameters of the referred perturbation that impact their response, both in amplitude and phase. Subsequently, we analyzed the implemented system, and developed an algorithm to support it. Finally, for a defined profile of apodization, we proceeded to the Bragg filters implementation, with different recording steps, supported by the developed software, and compared to the measured and simulated responses in each case. Finally, we simulated an optical communications system and analyzed the impact of the recording step and consequent response in the system’s performance.

Full textIn today´s society, we are active day and nights, both in leisure time and at work. This means that employees must be available at work 24-hours a day which inflict high strain on their circadian rhythms. The irregular working hours can affect negatively on the employee’s physical and mental health. Companies can, together with local unions, negotiate away the statutory dinner break and replace it with meal break, which means that it is included in working hours and should be used as time permits. The purpose of this study was to identify the perceptions of workers in rotating 3-shift, in a process industry, when and where their meal breaks take place and what they ate. 15 shift workers have during 6 shifts each, photo-documented what their meal breaks consisted of. Consumption of foods and beverages were categorized by Food-Based Classification of Eating Episodes. The photographs showed that the number of eating occasions was lower during the night shift in comparison to other shifts. Shift workers were interviewed and their statements underwent a phenomenographical analysis which revealed that their perception of the meal break is a social event as well that strengthens the group community. When the workers were having a meal, it is mostly occurred at the dinner table. The shift workers replaced each other so each one had the possibility to take a meal break. Regarding snack intakes, it could occur at their workplace and if something happened in the process, they could immediately return to work. Further studies are needed to verify the perceptions of other working groups.

Photoinduced electron transfer (PET) plays a crucial role in a wide array of biological pathways. These electron transfer reactions happen from or to the excited state of a chromophore upon absorption of light. Hence understanding the properties of excited states is necessary in elucidating the details of such pathways. The work presented in this thesis deals with PET in two systems: Fluorescent Nucleobase Analogues (FBAs) and DNA photolyase. The introductory chapter (Chapter 1) presents some background information about the two systems and sets up the stage for the reasoning behind the problems addressed in this thesis. FBAs are fluorescent analogues of naturally occurring, weakly fluorescent native nucleic acid bases. When incorporated into single stranded (ss) or double stranded (ds) DNA, the FBA fluorescence is significantly quenched. PET has been implicated to be the cause for the observed quenching. Here we have presented our attempt to correlate the quenching behavior of free FBA: nucleic acid monophosphate (NMP) pairs with the free energies associated with excited state electron transfer delta GET. Based on the delta GET values, we have tried to assign the direction of electron transfer. The quenching behavior of the FBA:NMP pairs were studied through Stern-Volmer (SV) quenching and time-resolved fluorescence studies. The above described analysis has been applied on FBAs: 4-amino-6-methyl-8-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-7(8H)-pteridone (6MAP), 4-amino - 2, 6 - dimethyl - 8 - (2'-deoxy-beta-d-ribofuranosyl) -7(8H) - pteridone (DMAP), 3-methyl-8-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl) isoxanthopterin (3MI) and 6-Methyl-8-(2'-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl) isoxanthopterin (6MI) (Chapter 3), 2-Aminopurine (2AP) (Chapter 4), 8-Vinyl Adenosine (8VA) (Chapter 5). The final part of this thesis (Chapter 6) is on understanding the mechanistic details of a DNA repair process that is due to photoinduced electron transfer in DNA photolyase, a flavoprotein. Before the electron reaches the damaged site in the DNA, the initial electron acceptor in this repair process has been speculated to be the adenine of the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). We have tested this hypothesis by measuring and comparing the various kinetic parameters associated with this process by reconstituting into apo-photolyase the natural cofactor of photolyase (FAD) and an adenine modified flavin (Etheno FAD, epsilon FAD).

Full textThis work developed a software to be embedded in an autonomous system based on ARM architecture, as the goal of detecting the peak position of a spectrum reflected by a Bragg grating written to optical fiber (FBG) and interrogated by the commercial Interrogator I-MON 512 E. The software was developed for the ARM architecture using the pcDuino platform which allows real-time monitoring and the data can be viewed in a graphical interface. For detecting the position of the peaks was applied to an algorithm that approximates the experimental data by a Gaussian function by the method of least squares. The system is characterized from the monitored temperature on the surface of a thermoelectric cell readings were made between 0°C and 100°C. Comparing the position of the Bragg peak registered with the system developed and the Ext_Evaluation software provided by the manufacturer of the interrogator I-MON it appears the average difference is approximately 0,010 nm. The mean difference in the position of the Bragg peak is less than 0.5 pm resolution is informed by the manufacturer of the interrogator I-MON. However, usually interested in changes in position of the Bragg peak instead of on absolute position in the spectrum. Thus, it can be concluded that the proposed algorithm is effective detecting the variation in position of Bragg peaks using FBG sensors.

Products must be tolerant to many conditions, particularly when those products are prepared by consumers. Consumers may not measure added ingredients, they may add or leave out ingredients specified in recipes, or change cooking and holding times for foods. Fortified blended food (FBFs) are used as a source of nutrition for disaster or famine relief in developing countries and sorghum is looked at as a potential alternative to wheat and corn based products that are currently being used as FBFs. Porridge products are the most common dishes prepared from FBFs with a wide range of solids content, cooking times and variations in added ingredients such as sugar and fruit. This study was intended to evaluate the tolerance to preparation variations for a porridge product made as a FBF intended for food aid. Whole Sorghum Soy Blend (WSSB), a fortified, extruded, ground cooked cereal was selected as the FBF for this study. Descriptive sensory analysis was performed to evaluate the tolerance of porridge products made from variations in ingredients and cooking procedures. In this study, most sensory properties were only marginally affected by variations in ingredients or procedures. However, as expected, large differences occurred in some properties such as thickness when solids content varied or sweetness and fruit flavor when fruit was added. Tolerance testing showed that the sensory properties of WSSB had high tolerance to variations in cooking procedures, a positive aspect for product use and development. This means that the product can be modified during preparation by consumers without having a major impact on most sensory properties.

Full textThis study aimed at to evaluate the post-treatment of UASB reactor with aerated submerged biological filter, with the objective of verifying your effectiveness in the nitrification process, submitting it to different sludge recirculation rates from the final settling tank to the entrance of FBAS. The necessity of the post-treatment is due to the fact of the UASB reactor effluent, although tends a good efficiency in the removal of organic matter, it doesn't to meet the standards of Brazilian environmental legislation, therefore, the post-treatment has the main paper of completing the organic matter removal, and also to ammonia nitrogen removal, that in agreement with the Resolution CONAMA N. 357, of march 17, 2005, the release pattern for this parameter is 20 mgN/L. This study was developed in a pilot plant with three different operational regimes, located in ?Centro Tecnológico de Hidráulica ? CTH?, constituted by a FBAS with an useful volume at 605 L, following by settling tank, treating the effluent from 25 m3 UASB reactor. The three operation regimes had time of duration of 75, 80 and 54 days, respectively, with feeding flows at 500 L/hour in the first two regimes and 200 L/hour in the regime 3. The sludge recirculation rate were 0,2, 0,4 and 0,8, for the regimes 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The three operation regimes introduced these superficial aplication rates, respectively: COD (35, 40 and 16 g COD/m2.day); BOD (16, 14 and 7 g BOD/m2.day) and NKT (8,8, 8,7 and 3,1 g NKT/m2.day). Analyses of parameters were accomplished as BOD, COD, solids in suspension, ammonia nitrogen and total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate and alkalinity, where the operation regime 3 presented the best results, producing a final effluent with these average concentrations: 78 mg/L (COD), 28 mg/L (BOD), 27 mg/L (TSS), 12 mg/L (NKT), 10 mg/L (NH3/NH4 +) and 23,4 mg/L (NO3 -). The observed efficiency removal were: 68% (COD), 76% (BOD), 79% (TSS), 75% (NKT) and 75% (NH3/NH4 +).

Fortified blended foods (FBFs), which are the mixture of cereals and legumes fortified with micronutrients, have been widely used as supplementary foods for vulnerable populations such as infants and young children in developing countries around the world. The evaluation of current FBFs showed limited evidence on their effectiveness in treating childhood malnutrition, resulting the several recommendations on processing and formulation changes to improve their quality and ability to meet nutritional needs. Sensory properties are one of the important determinants for the success of the new FBFs. Therefore, sensory testing was conducted to determine the potential of novel FBFs to be used as supplementary food compared with FBF currently used in food aid programs. Descriptive sensory analysis was performed on novel FBFs along with the traditional FBF (Corn soy blend plus; CSB+) to determine sensory characteristics of each FBF. Results showed that novel FBFs had more pronounced toasted characteristics and higher sweetness than CSB+, due to the higher temperature during extrusion process and the addition of sugar in the novel formulation. In addition, novel FBFs that had higher amount of legumes (e.g. soybean, cowpea) in their formulations, especially for all sorghum cowpea blends, showed higher intensity in beany characteristics. Sensory shelf-life testing showed that novel FBFs could have shelf lives at least 2 years with no detection of off-note characteristics and these was comparable to the shelf life of the current FBF (CSB+). Sensory testing was also performed with target populations: children who eat the food and care givers who prepare it, during a 20-week field trial to determine the acceptability and preference of novel FBFs and current FBF. Results showed that all novel FBFs were highly preferred or accepted by children, even though, some of them might need longer time and more exposures to allow children to have more experience and be familiar with the food before being satisfied or preferred that food. In contrary, CSB+ that had bland flavor tended not to be well accepted and highly preferred by children compared to novel FBFs. Moreover, giving children more opportunities to consumed food prepared from CSB+ did not help to improve its acceptability or preference. Data from household visits and interview sessions showed that porridges prepared from novel FBFs required less cooking time than CSB+ and no additional ingredients needed to be added compared to CSB+ where sugar and milk were common additions. Finding from this research indicated that novel FBFs have high potential to be used successfully as supplementary food with comparable shelf life, and higher acceptability and preference to FBF currently used in food aid programs. In addition, the simple cooking of novel FBFs make them valuable to caregivers who have limited time and access to energy sources and nutrient-rich ingredients.

Full textIn this work survey results are reported, it aimed at assessing, through laboratory tests, the exploitation of bagasse-cane (FBC) in composite cementitious (cement mortar, sand and FBC) assessing the physical and mechanical behavior of the material. Problems of chemical incompatibility between the bagasse fibers and cement matrix components have been removed by specific treatments on the CBF, such as washing, boiling, mineralization with chemicals an a mix of cement and water in different combinations. The sugar cane fibers brake down process, used in other studies conducted with the same material, was not necessary, because nowadays the CBF is already broke down in the production process in the ethanol and sugar industry. The fibers were washed and mineralized with inorganic salts (solution of sodium silicate at 5%; aluminum sulfate solution at 3%) and cream of cement (the concentration of 10:1 of water and cement), in order to protect the fiber against the aggressions of the alkaline mortar, trapping organic matter and the residual sugar to avoid interference in the reactions of cement cohesion, reduce the capacity of water absorption. Different concrete mixtures were tested, in order to find one with better compressive strength. The change occurred in the content of CBF added, may be 1.5 or 3.0% by weight of cement and the type of treatment that these fibers were submitted. Were defined traits and body-of-proof molded and compressed manually into cylindrical molds of 5 cm ø and 10 cm in height, corresponding to five combinations of treatments, two ages, two levels of fiber and three replicates, and two types of reference to variations in curing type (moist chamber and the tank with water and lime). Later, the bodiesof- evidence were submitted to tests of compressive traction in diametral compression and water absorption at 7 and 28 days. The best treatments results were: washed CBF + boiled; washed CBF +boiled+cream cement; and washed CBF + boiled + chemicals.
Neste trabalho estão relatados os resultados de uma pesquisa realizada com o objetivo de avaliar, através de ensaios de laboratório, o aproveitamento do bagaço da cana-deaçúcar (FBC) em compósito de matriz cimentícia (argamassa de cimento, areia e FBC), avaliando o comportamento mecânico e físico do material obtido. Problemas de incompatibilidade química entre as fibras do bagaço e os componentes da matriz cimentícia foram solucionados através de tratamentos específicos da FBC, como lavagem, fervura, mineralização com calda de cimento e mineralização com produtos químicos, combinados entre si. O processo de desmedulamento das fibras do bagaço da cana-de-açúcar, realizado em outras pesquisas com o mesmo material, não foi necessário, pois atualmente a FBC já vem desmedulada pelo processo de produção na indústria sucro-alcooleira. As fibras foram lavadas e mineralizadas com sais inorgânicos (solução de silicato de sódio a 5% e sulfato de alumínio em solução a 3%) e com nata de cimento (na concentração de 10:1 de água e cimento), com a finalidade de proteger a fibra contra as agressões do meio alcalino da argamassa; imobilizar a matéria orgânica e o açúcar residual para evitar a interferência do mesmo nas reações de pega do cimento e reduzir a capacidade de absorção de água pela FBC. Diferentes traços de argamassa foram testados, visando encontrar aquele com melhor resistência à compressão. A variação ocorreu no teor de FBC acrescentado, podendo ser de 1,5 ou 3,0% da massa do cimento e no tipo de tratamento que estas fibras foram submetidas. Foram definidos traços e corpos-de-prova moldados e compactados manualmente em fôrmas cilíndricas de 5 cm de Ø e 10 cm de altura, correspondentes a 5 combinações de tratamentos, duas idades, dois teores de fibra e três repetições, além de dois tipos de referência com variações no tipo de cura (câmara úmida e no tanque com água e cal).

Full textDetta examensarbete undersöker möjligheten att lokalisera mobiltelefoner med GSM teknologi genom att använda en Falsk Basstation (FBS). En FBS är en radio transceiver som emulerar beteendet hos en legitim GSM basstation för att lura omodifierade mobiltelefoner att ansluta till den. Undersökningen tar reda på hur en FBS kan användas för att estimera positionerna av anslutna mobiltelefoner inom ett målområde. För att undersöka detta har ett Proof-Of-Concept-system ta- gits fram. Systemet består av en mobil FBS som som mäter propageringstid (TOA) och mottagen signalstyrka (RSS). FBS:ens positioner bestäms med GPS. Systemet använder kalibreringsfria algoritmer för lokalisering, då vi antar att miljön och mobiltelefonernas hårdvara är okänd. Tester av systemet har utförts utomhus i ett 180x100 m2 Line-Of-Sight-område. Dessa tester visar att lokaliseringsalgorit- merna ger ett genomsnittligt fel på mindre än 10 meter. Detta anses vara till- räckligt för de flesta tillämpningar av intresse. Utöver detta visar även testerna att RSS-baserad lokalisering ger bättre resultat än TOA-baserad lokalisering när medelavståndet mellan FBS och mobiltelefon är omkring 50 meter. TOA-baserad lokalisering ger däremot ett bättre resultat än RSS-baserad lokalisering när me- delavståndet ökar till omkring 75 meter. Denna undersökning är en del av Smart Savannah projektet som innefattar flera olika övervakningssystem, utvecklade för att skydda noshörningar från tjuv- skyttar. Målet med vårt lokaliseringssystem är att det ska kunna användas för att upptäcka och lokalisera tjuvskyttar utan deras vetskap. Vi tror även att lokalise- ringssystemet kan användas vid eftersökning- och räddnings-operationer för att lokalisera försvunna personers mobiltelefoner.

Full textIn a country like South Africa, with a history of racial discrimination and man-made social inequalities, many NGOs and FBOs play a crucial and important role in socio-economic development and in narrowing the gap between the haves and the have-nots. As one of the nongovernmental organisations, The South African National Zakah Fund (SANZAF) development projects/programmes have played an important role in the areas of poverty alleviation, skills development, education and disaster relief. In line with the participatory/people-centred theory of community development and conceptual arguments, this study was used to examine the nature of participatory community development at the South African National Zakah Fund (SANZAF) in Cape Town, South Africa. Qualitative research methodology was applied and measurement of the level of community participation was done using a variety of instruments. This study is focused on the SANZAF's community development project in the Manenberg area in the Cape Flats. The analysis involved examining the nature and level of community participation in the project needs, planning, implementation and decision-making phases. Thereafter, the results of the research prompted general observation and provided some recommendations to SANZAF and other FBOs involved. The research findings show that the SANZAF's development projects/programmes have played an important role in terms of community development. They have been developed in response to the needs of local communities and are implemented to mobilise local resources to support the poor and needy. The study also indicated that SANZAF enjoys a strong linkage with local mosques and other development actors at the community level. However, the results of the study also indicated that the level of community participation in planning, decision making and implementation is low in the case study area. Meanwhile, the beneficiaries did not show a clear understanding of aspects such as participation, empowerment and ownership. Finally, a recommendation is made for genuine community participation at the grassroots level as this will contribute to beneficiary's empowerment, capacity building and the core ingredients for selfreliance and project sustainability in community development activities.

Full textBefore reaching the ocean, riverine particles from the Loire watershed undergo important chemical transformations in the estuary. This study aims to identify and characterize main processes involving iron (and to a lesser extent Al, Mn, PO43- and rare earths elements). Suspended particulate matter data show that 15% of their iron is lost through the estuary. Reductive iron dissolution during deposition periods is likely to explain most of this loss. However, estuarine sediments are characterized by high spatial heterogeneity due to macrofaunal activities. To overcome this difficulty, new methodologies of high resolution and two-dimensional analyses and calculation of pore water, sediment and benthic meiofauna were developed. These developments enable to estimate the impact of macrofaunal activity to 80% of dissolved iron export from sediment towards water column, and a total flux of 0. 5 mmol m-2 d-1. Such kinetics requires a 10-year of residence time of particles within the sediment in order to match to observed iron loss on suspended particles. This time is much longer than the mean particle residence time in the estuary. Therefore, sediment reactivity over a larger surface that stretches to the external mudflats has to be taken into account to explain transformation of solid iron through the estuary
