This dissertation presents an approach for the development of mobile applications emphasizing software reuse based on domain-specific modeling and Service Oriented Architecture. The approach is divided into two stages: Domain Engineering (DE) and Application Engineering (AE). In DE, a metamodel, services and Transformations for Model-To-Code are constructed. The metamodel expresses the abstract syntax of Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) for a given problem domain and services - known as the Domain Services - meet common requirements of different applications of the problem domain for which the metamodel has been built, and Transformations for Model- To-Code to reduce the development effort since most of the coding tasks can be encapsulated in the transformations. In EA, applications are built by instantiating the metamodel in order to support the modeling and by reusing Domain Services. In addition, the transformations, built in ED, are applied to the models in order to generate most of the application code. The reuse of the artifacts built in ED provides a productivity gain in the development of applications of the problem domain considered. For evaluation purposes, the proposed approach has been instantiated in the HealthCare Domain. An experimentation of this approach, following the experimental methodology, has been conducted in order to evaluate its impact on the efficiency of teams that develop applications for Healthcare Domain. The results showed that the use of the proposed approach has contributed to the reduction of time in developing mobile applications.

The Photodynamic Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (PACT) has shown that is a promising alternative for buccal disinfection. The objective of this in situ work is to investigate the antimicrobial effect of photodynamic therapy over biofilms by the use of curcumine and Photogem® presented in a solution. In this research 18 volunteers were selected randomly from both sexes, with age over than 18 years. These patients wore a removable palatine device that contained six enamel/dentin specimens of 5 square millimeters by 2 millimeters of thickness. Those patients wore those devices during the period of four days, after that the biofilm created over the specimens were treated using different PACT protocols. The effect of the PACT treatments was evaluated by the microbial reduction of the Streptococcus mutans by UFC counting. This study compared a control group with the curcumine group that didn't received light irradiation with another group that was treated with the PACT protocol using curcumine solution, and other group that used the photosensitizer presented in solution with Photogem®. The obtained results of this investigation showed the reduction of the amount of the S. mutans UFC. The highest reduction (p=0.02) was observed when the PACT is applied with solution using Photogem as the photosensitizer. In conclusion, this study suggests that there is a antimicrobial effect of photodynamic therapy over biofilms by the use of curcumine (1.500μg/mL) and Photogem® (1.000μg/mL) followed by LED system irradiation (λ=640±5nm).
Índice de Yang e teoremas generalizados
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2011-07-26) Costa, Willer Daniel da Silva; Ramos, Adriana; https://lattes.cnpq.br/1067090731407577; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7668462848942459
We work with T-spaces (X; T), where X is a Hausdor_ compact space and T : X ! X is a continuous involution without _xed points. Considering the sphere Sn with the antipodal map, we highlight three classical theorems relating to the T-space Sn;A): Borsuk-Ulam's theorem, Kakutani-Yamabe-Yujobô's theorem and Dyson's theorem. This dissertation consists of a detailed study of the article fo C. T. Yang (Annals of Math. 60, no. 2 (1954), 262-282) where the author introduces a concept of the index and presents, in a sense homological, generalizations of the three theorems cited above, considering any T-space. Beyond the generalizations itself, we build examples of the index calculation of some T-spaces and, still, we explore a concept of orthogonality in T-spaces.
Materiais refratários e práticas operacionais para aumento de vida útil dos cadinhos para transporte de alumínio
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2011-07-26) Braga, Paulo Moreira; Pandolfelli, Victor Carlos; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7369376873984839; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6081166957911404
The work described in this study deals with the several different factors that affect the performance of refractory lining in the ladles that transfer aluminum molten metal from electrolytic cells (pots) to a holding furnace. By using a systemic approach the work had the objective of increasing the life cycle of these ladles and consequently to reduce the cost of producing aluminum metal. Considering that for refractory lining the potential improvements are associated with a chain of items that include inspection, materials, engineering project design, installation, heating and operation, it is therefore fundamental to primarily understand the process in its entirety before proposing any type of change in the specific items of that chain. Within that context the first step of adjustments/improvements in the process pursued actions to extend the life cycle for the refractory materials that were being used. After implementing those adjustments and improvements an evaluation was performed on the efficiency of the actions for minimizing the mechanisms of wear on the refractories. An autopsy analysis was also carried out in three laddles to identify the bottlenecks that still limited the life cycle of the refractory lining. Results showed that the work culminated in an average increase of 83% in the life cycles of the refractories. Considering the ladles available for implementing improvements, 91% were able to perform more than 400 metal runs, whereas before improvements only 9% were making more than 400 runs. Additionally, the maximum number of runs per laddle increased by 53%, from 467 to 715. Besides the increase in availability of the ladles, this significant increase in the performance of the refractories brought financial gains in reducing by 47% the annual maintenance and pre-heating costs of the refractories. The measuring of the degree of success of the steps performed in the work was fundamental for orientating each following step within the intent to obtain a continuous improvement of the refractory materials and an increase in the level of competitiveness.
