Abstract

This paper describes the development of a web system for management and improvement in the routing of passenger vehicles (school transport). The system consists of a web environment in which residential addresses of possible public transport passengers are inserted. The system calculates which are the best stopping points for the vehicle to serve all passengers with the least number of stops possible, and with the best operating cost.

Abstract

In volleyball, as in other collective sports games, the essence of income is related to the physical, technical, tactical, psychological, clinical and administrative components. Overall, the sport has received several contributions stemming from the advancement of technology. This project proposes the development of an easy-to-use computer application that allows the entry, processing and feedback of the data, with the objective of performing the sports scout to follow the collective sporting modality, volleyball, during friendly games of the team of IFTM. The methodology used in the elaboration of the application will be developed from techniques in object oriented programming with the final implementation realized in Java language. Application viability tests will be conducted during IFTM volleyball team friendlies to provide input to discuss the use of the database in assessing the sporting performance of the IFTM volleyball team as the statistical record of a set of games or an entire season contributes to medium- and long-term solutions to team problems. Finally, it is worth mentioning that it is possible to continue the project proposed here for one year.

Abstract

Rehabilitation engineering seeks to develop technologies that help people with some form of disability to alleviate their limitations, improving their quality of life. Visually impaired people have serious difficulties in urban mobility since most of the traffic signaling is based on vision. In this sense, this work proposes the construction of a device to assist the visually impaired to identify the state of urban traffic lights through touch. For this, a device will generate vibration patterns that can be interpreted as being different states of the traffic lights. A simulator was built as proof of concept of this technique. This work presents details of the construction of this simulator.

Abstract

In the last three decades, the concept of the clinical-anthropological sciences has raised doubts about the evaluation mechanisms on deafness and how they are or are inserted in the medico-social and educational context; the concepts that point to these different representations about deafness have also entered the agenda. The process of transforming social into biological issues, called “biologization” (clinical character) is well known in the history of mankind, and its consequences for education have led to erroneous interpretations of deafness and, in particular, to deafness. pedagogical practice of the teaching of students with hearing impairment, other strong evidence and on the issue of social inclusion, since it opens an important meaning in the bulge of Brazilian educational policy. Many hearing impaired people tend to have difficulty communicating with their educators. Many times the disabled student stops learning because of the lack of interaction between educator and student, and for this reason, hearing aid software was created to facilitate communication between educators and students.

Abstract

The advancement of electronics and computing made it possible to use home automation systems to create domotics, or home automation. Among the various applications of home automation include the improvement of comfort, rationing of resources, safety and assistance to people with disabilities and the elderly. This project develops a remote control system for residential equipment such as televisions, air conditioners and other equipment over the Internet. The system allows the user to activate and use various functions of this equipment through a cell phone or computer.

Abstract

In the last years it is possible to see a great advance in the areas of electronics, computer science, automation and information technology. This advance was accompanied by a reduction in the costs of implementing systems in these areas. This cost reduction allows a system that once cost thousands of dollars and could only be deployed in one industry, could be applied in other areas such as in people’s homes. In this context, the automation of home automation systems was introduced in the 1980s. Such systems are created with the purpose of simplifying people’s lives, satisfying their communication, comfort and safety needs. This is done through the automatic control of existing elements in residential environments such as lighting elements, air conditioning and safety equipment.

Abstract

Irrigation is an important tool in optimizing production and improving the quality of agricultural products. However, it is necessary criteria in the use of water resources and energy expenditure in the process. This work proposes the development of a digital tensiometer for use in an automatic irrigation management system. For this, the analog gauge of a tensiometer will be replaced by a pressure sensor. The electric circuit of this sensor was designed and the tests showed that it is capable of detecting pressure variations.

Abstract

Educational related recent research to the quality of programs come back to education of the mathematics points that great part of programs educational is based on techniques of memorization and repetition. These techniques limit educating in its process teach-learning propitiating low level of reduction of the learning difficulty. This article presents the stages of planning, implementation and tests of an application based on Virtual Reality where in which the construction of the thought is stimulated logical-mathematician, having as objective to reach a level of reduction of the difficulty of learning in the context of the mathematical operations bigger of what programs that memorization techniques of and repetition are based on.

Abstract

This paper aims at investigating two different methodologies to forecast time series of river flows. Models originated from Box & Jenkins method, as well as models based on artificial neural networks technique have been constructed. The proposed models were used in order to forecast future values of the historical series of Rio Grande’s natural flows. The time series data have been collected from the stream gauge station of Madre de Deus de Minas, MG. Afterwards, a comparative analysis between both techniques used at the prognostication of time series has been done. The results obtained from the comparison have shown that each methodology can be adequately adjusted to the set of studied observations; however, each technique has advantages and disadvantage.

Abstract

The present work investigates two different methodologies to perform prediction of time series of fluvial flows. Models from the Box & Jenkins method were constructed, as well as models based on the technique of Artificial Neural Networks. The proposed models were used to predict future values of the historical series of natural discharges from Rio Grande. The time series data were collected in the control section at the fluviometric station of Madre de Deus de Minas, MG. Subsequently a comparative analysis was made between both techniques used in the prognosis of the time series. The results obtained in the comparison show that each methodology can be adjusted appropriately to the set of observations under study, however each technique has advantages and disadvantages.
