As technology is increasingly being seen as a facilitator to learning, open remote laboratories are available and in widespread use around the world. They provide some advantages over traditional hands-on labs or simulations. This paper presents results of integrating laboratory VISIR into several courses, various contexts using methodologies. These integrations, all related higher education engineering, were designed by teachers with different perspectives achieve range learning outcomes....

Objective: To analyze the role of genes and single nucleotide polymorphisms previously associated with preterm birth as possible new risk indicators in relation to births pregnant women participating Curitiba Maternal Child Health Cohort (COOSMIC). Methods: From a cohort started 2018, selection 77 was carried out from specific group. This group divided into group, babies born at 37 weeks, term more than weeks gestation. In addition, considering data on oral condition women, they categorized...

The traditional systems have been studied in an isolated mode, seek to respond a specific need and deal with restricted set of variables. targets established for energy efficient sustainability imply that new are more comprehensive combine the various individual systems. This topology requires kind engineering professionals provided skills. New not only deep capabilities area, but also proficiencies allow them understand how integrate their particular system into wider functional system....

Ontology mapping is the process whereby two ontologies are semantically related at conceptual level and source ontology instances transformed into target entities according to those semantic relations. faces new challenges in context of Web, especially concerning heterogeneity, dynamics, distribution limitations on representation technology. We introduce a methodology transformation based notion service, which represents system capabilities. MAFRA toolkit specific implementation...

The Web has come a long way since its invention by Berners-Lee, when it focused essentially on visualization and presentation of content for human consumption (Syntactic Web), to providing meaningful content, facilitating the integration between people machines (Semantic Web). This paper presents survey different tools that provide enrichment with understandable annotation, in order make available interoperable systems. We can group Semantic Annotation into diverse dimensions: dynamicity,...

This paper presents a system for computer aided process planning (CAPP), using precedence graph representation of the operations and their restrictions. Description machine tool selection is described, as well operation sequencing. A genetic algorithm used to generate sequence select tools that minimize some criteria (machining time).

There are several cases of wells with potential or identified Annulus Pressure Buildup (APB) problems, especially at offshore fields. Historical failure examples happened the Marlin field and Ponpano A-31 well, both in Gulf Mexico. The objective this article is to present alternatives for mitigating problem design procedure each one. In order find list those procedures, literature was initially reviewed. More than 15 techniques were classified four groups: pressure relief, structural...

This paper deals with task and execution planning for manufacturing systems. We describe a system named TPMS (task systems). The final goal of this is to automatically generate programs or sets commands robots, AGV's, numerical control machines other components the without need spending much time programming flexible (FMS) components. sequence operations be handled by depends on constraints task. Three types are defined explained: processing constraints, feasibility geometric constraints....

Nowadays sustainability is becoming extremely important and although the concept perfectly established, there are different approaches to teach fundamental aspects be considered. Aiming at a higher level of internationalization having in mind that students could gain from an intensive multicultural experience ISEP organized its first Engineering for Sustainable Development (E4SD) Summer Course, July 2014. With set modules taught by experienced teachers topics sustainability, course had...

Ontology mapping is the process whereby semantic relations are defined between two ontologies at conceptual level, which in turn applied data level transforming source ontology instances into target instances. This paper focuses on formalisation, representation and automatic specification of ontologies. The described approach grounds notion service, represents not only transformation capabilities system, but also expertise manipulation relations. main contributions this formalisation...

Globalization is a tendency that covers all society perspectives in general, and the high education particular. The main traditional objective of these institutions was to prepare domestic students with set skills. research competition universities rankings, as well need reach other publics pushed them towards internationalization. exchange across UE well-known reality which success largely due cultural similarities. However, issues raises importance when from different cultures are...

Cognitive radio is one of the most promising techniques wireless communications, due to its many applications. networks have capability congregate different cognitive users via cooperative spectrum sensing. Examples can be found in important and applications, such as digital television sensor networks. The objective this paper analyze how signal processing are used provide reliable performance Applications presented detailed.

This paper deals with a system named TPMS (Task Planning for Manufacturing Systems). The final goal of this is to automatically generate programs or sets commands robots, AGVs, numerical control machines and other components the without need spending much time programming FMS components. In authors describe how high level plan task. sequence operations be handled by manufacturing depends on constraints Three types are defined explained: processing constraints; feasibility geometric...

Engineering education practices have evolved not only due to the natural changes in contents of curricula and skills but also, more recently, requirements imposed by Bologna revision process. In addition, industry is becoming demanding, as society aware global needs consequences industrial practices. Under this scope, higher follow also lead these trends. Therefore, School Polytechnic Institute Porto (ISEP), a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) training partner Portugal, prepared presented...

Bidding collusion causes significant financial damage in Brazil and compromises the efficiency of public service delivery. This work proposes representation bidding disputes as a directed graph use data mining techniques on graphs to detect suspicious patterns that may reveal anti-competitive behaviour. The algorithms used were tested case study with real Brazilian mixed economy company. results show ensure integrity processes it is required develop more complex preventive controls which...
