The right to an appropriate education for students with cerebral palsy requires the provision of resources that will help individuals to improve their performance in everyday tasks more efficiently and independently. The term assistive technology is a term used to refer to a broad range of devices and services, helping individuals achieve greater success in their activities, by improving their functional capabilities. In the case of students with cerebral palsy, assistive technology, which includes devices that involve advanced electronic and computer-based technology, can ensure learners have full access to the curriculum. However, implementation of such a system is a complex process, because it includes students of varying learning abilities; apparatus; task to be performed; and the environment; and moreover, an essential element of its successful implementation is the involvement of a skilled and experienced team of professionals. The aim of the study was to develop and implement a specific assistive technology training program to facilitate the learning process for students with cerebral palsy, and evaluate their effects. The collaborative research project encompassed the development of a training program and its subsequent implementation with a team of professionals in a special school in a town located within the state of São Paulo; and then this program was further evaluated. The participants were nine special education teachers and five professionals of the interdisciplinary team (physiotherapists, speech therapists and psychologist). Nine students with cerebral palsy also participated. The data were collected through focus groups, field notes, open questions on the questionnaires, and videotaping. The results show that the program was effective in promoting positive training for using these resources, and furthermore, that collaborative working between staff and researcher was of overriding importance. The challenge is to find out how to promote the concept into practical actions in order to meet the requirements of established methods. From the results, systematic reviews were carried out and then it was recommended the adoption of a new model for training in this area and to be used within the country, in a didactic format, that enables professionals to be acquainted with their new roles, for successful implementation of assistive technology as tools to access to learning, permanence, and the accomplishments in the development of inclusion process.

In this work, the influence of operating conditions on the evaporation rate of water was analyzed for drying in a spouted bed. Experiments were done for two different inlet air geometries and inert particles loads for variable paste feed flow rates and inlet air temperature and velocity. Distilled water was employed as standard paste and glass beads of 2,18mm and 2512,6 ± 0,1kg/m3 as the inert phase. The drying chamber consisted essentially of an inox cylindrical column with 120cm in height and 30cm in diameter, and a conical bottom with an angle of 60° and 23cm high. The orthogonal central composite design was used to specify the experimental conditions. Inlet air temperature and velocity, bed pressure drop, exhaust temperature and dry and wet bulb temperature at the cyclone were measured during the experiments. Results have showed that the inlet air geometry had a weak influence on the bed fluidynamic stability. The maximum evaporation rate for both inlet air geometries was of 60ml/min, under operating conditions of 115ºC 1,55u/ujm and for 8,5kg particle load. An experimental correlation was proposed to estimate de rate of water evaporation as a function of the independent variables considered. With the experimental design analysis on the water evaporation rate it was possible to identify the most significant factors that influence the process. The information obtained in this work may be the basis for future work in this field with real pastes.

The research contains the study of the creative process of the documentary Um Corpo Subterrâneo (2007), of the brazilian filmmaker Douglas Machado, with the theorist horizon of the studies of process critique. The link of our analysis is the understanding of the creation as a network in process , (SALLES, 2006, p.19) and, therefore, the research proposes the dive into the creation of the documentary, going beyond the analysis of the final film. We will go through the paths of creation with the genetic dossier of the director (note books, editing script , still, edited versions, interviews, among others), and data from his biography and filmography with value to this study that allows to build hypothesis and establish possible relations between these materials and the work that resulted from these connections. Those connections that define the narrative proposal chosen by the filmmaker, that privileges the construction of the other by the memory of the grief, and that point to the poetic project of the director.

Metacognition can be defined as the knowledge people have about their own cognitive processes, which can help them plan, monitor, regulate and assess their cognitive activities. Studies in the field have produced instruments and measures designed to assess metacognitive performance, many of them based on Flavell s Model of Cognitive Monitoring andas well as Nelsons and Narens model. The present study focused on gaining a better understanding of metacognitive monitoring, which is usually assessed through judgements, which represents one way of measuring metacognition. The aim of the present study was to investigate children s metacognitive monitoring during the execution of three subtests of the BMI (Multidimensional Battery of Child Intelligence), based on the Cattell-Horn-Carroll s model of intelligence. The subtests chosen assessed quantitative knowledge, crystallized intelligence and fluid intelligence. Participants were 44 fifht-year students, and each child was individually evaluated. Following each of the subtests, children were asked to estimate their performance. Results showed that children s repertoire included metacognitive abilities, and some metacognitive monitoring rates were better for quantitative knowledge . When these abilities were compared relative to cognitive performance, those with the highest scores on the intelligence subtests demonstrated better metacognitive monitoring. These results, obtained with Brazilian children, are compared with results reported in the international literature, and the implications in terms of promoting metacognitive training are discussed.

The following paper is a description of a research performed with second year of high school students, in a school in the inland of the state of São Paulo, over the topic of Combinatorial Analysis. Such topic is normally neglected in this teaching level. According to the National Teaching Parameters (Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais PCN), the topic of Combinatorial Analysis is a theme with its place in the normal contents of the second year of high school, being so, the intervention was performed with students of this level. The intervention entails two Diagnoses Files (one applied in the beginning of the research, and the other in the end, serving as a comparison tool) and three Classroom Files, which take into consideration all the Combinatorial Analysis to be developed in High School. Each Diagnosis File has 5 exercises about counting, and each Classroom File has a summary of the theory developed with the participation of the teacher and the students in the form of theoretical and practical classes, and some exercises for the application of the theory developed in the Classroom File. Analysis, comments and comparisons collected by the teacher in the application of the classroom files are described in this paper. The final product of this Master degree thesis is available in the web site of Programa de Pós Graduação em Ensino de Ciências Exatas PPGECE (Postgraduate program of exact sciences teaching): www.ppgece.ufscar.br

Hydrogen and ethanol production using microorganisms is a promising area of technological development from a wide variety of renewable and alternative to this production is the use of anaerobic fluidized bed reactor (AFBR). One of the factors that most influence the performance of the AFBR is the material support, which must provide abrasion resistance, porous surface conducive to colonization by microorganisms, easy to achieve fluidization and ability to promote mass transfer between the medium and biofilm. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of different support materials (polystyrene - R1, grounded tire - R2 and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) - R3) on producing hydrogen and ethanol using three anaerobic fluidized bed reactors. Each reactor had a total volume of 4192 cm3 and was fed with media containing glucose as the carbon source (4000 mg L-1) with an influent pH around 5.0 and an effluent pH of about 3.5, a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 8 1 h at a temperature of 23 2 ºC, with thermal treatment of the inoculum. For hydrogen production, the best performance was achieved with R2 (2.11 mol H2 mol-1 glucose), providing the highest H2 content in biogas (60%). In all reactors, the predominant soluble metabolites were acetic acid, butyric acid, lactic acid and ethanol, with small amounts of propionic acid. The reactor R2 produced more acetic and butyric acid (434.74 and 1013.61 mg L-1, respectively). However, reactor R3 showed a better performance for ethanol production (1941.78 mg L-1).

This dissertation presents an ethnographical research of the relationships between the Tupi Guarani from Village Renascer with the Guarani Mbya and nonindians. The purpose was to understand the formation history of the village within its particular context: the recording of the film titled Hans Staden. I try to articulate how this community is organized within an area of environmental protection and how they establish a strict dialogue, either with other indigenous groups or non-indians, based on the notion of "culture . There is a convergence between the Guarani Mbya, but is also an emphasis on demarcation of alterity. The Tupi Guarani highlights that come from a mixture of Tupinambá and Mbya, besides of the non-indians. This self-description is present in the speech of other villages of the coast of São Paulo state, which are part of a circuit of reciprocity, marking the existence of a Tupi Guarani territoriality that is multisite.

This research aims at investigating the use of hypertext in the English Language classroom. The central argument of the study is to promote the development of the oral language through new language practices, because with the advances offered by the development of new information and communication technologies (NICTs), especially the Internet, there is a transformation in today´s society, also called the information society. This change reflects a need for the school, students and teachers, different from the one we had some time ago, since the NICTs take the educational processes beyond the walls of the school and they promote new ways of acquiring and producing knowledge, besides promoting new ways of interaction among the individuals emphasizing the necessity of developing the oral hability in English, for a good performance in both personal and professional activities. In this sense, we understand that the school becomes responsible for promoting new language practices, new literacies, mainly the digital literacy. But there is a lack of studies that show alternatives of changes in teaching and learning methodologies in order to meet this new generation of learners. Thus, in order to combine technology to the process of teaching and learning the English language and seeking to minimize the gap presented by Xavier (2005), regarding the lack of research that shows effective results of the use of hypertext in education, we chose using hypertext as a resource to promote oral English language in an extracurricular course offered to students of a language and literature course. In this qualitative research of ethnographic base, we used a questionnaire, focus group interviews, self-reports and field notes as instruments of data collection, in order to answer the following guiding questions: 1) What is the student´s perception on the hypertext as a resource to develop the oral ability? and 2) Does the use of the hypertext and, consequently, of the Internet help to develop the digital literacy and the new roles of students and teachers in the information society? The data obtained revealed that the hypertext, through its characteristics of non-linearity and hypermodality, was effective in promoting the development of the oral language in English, and it also allowed the development of digital literacy at the same time that it led to the development of the new roles of teachers and students to act in today's society - the information society.

In this dissertation, it was possible to contribute to the discussion on the health of workers in the area of construction, housing projects promoted by the partnership between public and private bodies. Despite being an important sector for the Brazilian economy, the literature is scarce, especially in psychology, studies on how workers experience the impacts of the conditions and labor relations, offered by the managers on their health. Based on theoretical and methodological framework of Social Epidemiology, the psychodynamics of work and ergonomics of the authors, this work was to study how the servants and builders of a housing project in a municipality of São Paulo, experienced the relations and conditions work offered by local organization partnerships, business and Caixa Econômica Federal. To this end, we identified the different roles of the implementing partners of the works; known relations and working conditions, rates of illness and related benefits were raised. Information was obtained through questionnaires, interviews, direct observations, archival research and analyzed by means of triangulation and the subsequent definition of categories, built from examination of consensus and disagreements identified in the content of the speeches. The results showed that the work funded by the Pro-House was marked by the logic of capital, which led to poor conditions and labor relations. Workers who accompanied the insertion of the master builder, first as a facilitator of communication with managers and, secondly, as loss of control over small decisions made by the collective. The qualification, even if not provided by the managers, through courses, when the organization of work allowed, workers develop new skills. Security measures at work were palliative, but the workers were used on defensive strategies and mobilization, which differed according to the employment relationship. However, some workers became ill or resigned because they could not always overcome the organization of work.

This dissertation aims to analyze the long-term economic growth of member countries of Mercosur, making use of the Keynesian approach to growth under external constraint. In this context, we seek to test, empirically, the validity of Thirlwall's Law, in traditional and extended formulations, to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, between 1980-2008. Were employed econometric techniques of cointegration, in order to measure the income and price elasticities of demand for imports of these economies, individually. Furthermore, statistical tests were used to compare estimates of product to actual data. Thus, we intend to provide a better understanding of the role of restrictions arising from the Balance of Payments, on the long-term trajectory of growth of nations of the bloc. The results indicate the validity of Thirlwall s Law, over the period analyzed, arguing that the growth of the economies in question was restricted by the balance of the external sector.

This study aims to characterize the hydromorphological variables that structure the ichthyofauna and see if there is difference in the estimated species richness and species richness of families and trophic groups between the rivers and streams sampled and between the headwaters of the Araguaia and Tocantins basins and different environments sampled, floodplain and regions of the head. The samples were taken from 30 watercourses, of which 12 belong to the basin of the Tocantins and Araguaia basin to 18. For analysis of the ichthyofauna were considered species richness and abundance of individuals of families and trophic groups. The variables considered were pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, water velocity, width, depth, light and turbidity. The results showed that the location of watercourses in the floodplain of the Araguaia River basin or in the regions of the head independent of the basin was the main factor that defines both the number of species and the similarity of the ichthyofauna. The streams included in the flood plain of the Araguaia basin that are favored by the heterogeneity of the habitat had the highest number of species. Instead, the head of watercourses, shallow, narrow and with the presence of rocks, which are characterized by reduced habitat had low values of richness of the fauna, which was structured by varying pH and conductivity. On the other hand, as the species richness of families and trophic groups no significant difference between the headwaters of the Araguaia and Tocantins river basins, however between different environments, headboard and plain, the basin of the Araguaia River, this difference was significant. Among the regions of the headwaters of the Araguaia and Tocantins river basins, both families and trophic groups are more species-rich at the points of the head of the Tocantins, because, despite their similar characteristics, the majority of the data points presented in the headwaters of the Tocantins be more conservative with respect to the presence of riparian vegetation. On the other hand, the species richness of families and trophic groups in the different environments sampled in the Araguaia basin, plain and headboard, showed that the lowland region is richer in species, which presents important feature, the heterogeneity of habitat that offers great diversity of shelter and food resources.

El objeto de estudio del analisis del discurso fue, en su fundacion, en las finales 1960, especialmente, del discurso politico. En ese momento, hubo una gran efervescencia politica y el discurso considerado la zona de enfrentamientos ideologicos y que mueve, por lo tanto, amplios intereses de la sociedad. Nuestro momento historico no esta constituido por una situacion politica tan efervescente como la de mayo de 1968 en Francia, la cual motivo varios debates en el campo del analisis del discurso, pero, asi como en el momento frances, el movimiento en periodo de campana electoral brasilena tambien promueve "una exasperacion para la produccion de los discursos, una multiplicacion de su movimiento, una riada verbal que llena (y rellena) las calles y los medios de comunicacion" (Courtine, 2006, p. 40), rasgo que consideramos pertinente. Los medios de comunicacion son diversas y diferentes unos de otros, la amplitud de los mismos es enorme, en el caso de internet llega a ser inconmensurable. De caracter mas subjetivo y aspecto suave, el discurso politico producido en los ultimos anos circulo en varios terrenos mediatico que cooperan entre si. El elector contemporaneo, inmerso en esta sociedad capitalista de la exacerbacion de consumo, incluyendo consumo de informacion, es por ella sediento, asi transitando obligatoriamente por diversos medios de comunicacion y se constituyendo por ellos. Es comprensible que el internet sea mas un lugar de emitir el discurso politico que, a priori, solo aparecia en el espacio reservado de antemano o especificado (propaganda politica por la television, panfletos, folleto de propaganda electoral con fotografia y numero de los candidatos para cargos publicos). Vemos, entonces, un sitio no realmente destinado, especificado a la propaganda politica, pero que fue tomada: el Twitter (red social de microblogging). Por lo tanto, nuestro objeto de analisis esta compuesto de declaraciones publicadas en Twitter, bajo los nombres de los principales candidatos presidenciales, en la campana electoral de 2010: Dilma Rousseff, Jose Serra e Marina Silva. En la estela de la teoria del analisis del discurso de la linea francesa, hubo la movilizacion de estudios de Michel Pecheux, J.-J. Courtine junto con el pensamiento de Michel Foucault, el proposito de este documento es mostrar como esta estructurado el discurso politico en el entorno digital, en este caso, en las redes sociales llamada Twitter, mostrar, desde las marcas linguisticas, las regularidades marcada por las identidades y las diferencias en el discurso politico en Twitter.

It was accomplished the analysis and environmental zoning of Ligeirinho and Leãozinho Environmental Protection Area, municipal district of Erechim, RS, with the objective of the environmental quality and ecological sustainability diagnosis. The Environmental Protection Area was submitted to the "Green Revolution process, during the decade of 1970, when the agriculture starts to alter the products, the sources of energy and the instruments used in the production, intensifying the crisis of the natural resources quality. Information related to Hydrography, Clinography, Soils Classes, Environmental Legislation (Law 4.771/65-BR) and Environmental Zoning (Law 4297/2002-BR) were used for the environmental analysis. With base in GIS techniques, as support to the information crossing and landscape synthesis, a proposal of Environmental Zoning was elaborated with the definition of five zones: Zone of Sustainable Use (44.89%); Zone of Diversified Use including areas of Pasture/Agriculture (26.15%), Pastures (1.17%), and Fruit Culture (0.30%); Zone of Permanent Preservation (7.49%); Zone of Restoration (7.36%), and Zone of Conservation (12.63%). The Environmental Protection Area area is quite heterogeneous with relationship to the land uses, with wide prevalence of the agricultural activities (74.70% in 2003 and 73.70% in 2010); the Permanent Preservation Areas evidence recovery of the index covering for native vegetation (41.17% in 2003, and 50.45% in 2010), reflecting the intensification of the environmental control in relation to the hydric resource. The environmental zoning is proposed to order the use of APA Rivers Ligeirinho e and Leãozinho, which will ensure the environmental quality of natural resources in order to ensure the improvement and maintenance on water availability, fulfilling the role and objectives that a Conservation Area for Sustainable Use should play.

The companies included in a globalized environment, so as to ensure their competitiveness and profitability, are seeking to implement operational excellence programs that aim at customer satisfaction (service level achieved at a fair price) and its employees. The lean philosophy has been pervasive in all sectors, and in the entire chain of value stream, as a means of getting to win this excellence and differentiate themselves in the international market. The distribution centers, and specifically the activity of picking, present themselves as a key point in this chain when considering improvements, since depending on the type of distribution center, the cost of labor associated with picking coul be significative. Coupled with the cost, the time of this activity substantially affects the cycle time of application, ie, the time between receiving a customer order and correct delivery of products. This study therefore aims to contribute to the understanding of the gains that can be obtained with the use of tools and concepts of "Lean thinking" implemented in picking procedure in a distribution center. To this are presented two proposals to do the picking process. The proposals built based on concepts of lean tools are simulated using the Simio, simulation software , and compared with the current process. The analysis of simulation results helped to find out what the procedure for picking has the best performance and satisfies customer requirements.

The literature shows that the admission of young people in work force has positive and negative effects to his / her development. Given the current employment crisis and the legislation that foresees their inclusion in work as apprentices, it is important to analyze the social representations of young people whose admission in work force is mediated by preprofessional organizations, which should mediate the relationship between the apprentice and his first job experience, assuring him / her a temporary opportunity of qualification and labor. The goal of the research was to understand the social representations of the job among young people from 14 to 18 years old inserted as apprentices in a health insurance company located inwards Sao Paulo state. It was used the theoretical-methodological reference of the Social Representations Theory aiming to analyze how the social, historical and organizational effects of this type of insertion contributes to creating perceptions in youth about the job reality. It's about a case study involving the pre-professional entity, the health insurance company and the participation of 10 young apprentices from 16 to 17 years old, all students of High School in public schools of the city where the institutions that participates of the research are located. The social representations were collected by individual and group interviews, participant observation and bibliographic and documentary investigation. The data were analyzed by the construction of analytical categories a posteriori, that come from exhaustive and repeated readings of the results of interviews and records of field observations. Regarding the preprofessional organization, it was found that the type of qualification offered is disciplining and meets the capacity of the standard worker who is obedient and little flexible. The triangulation of information identified that young people represent the work ambiguously, showing positive and negative effects. The apprentices consider youth a period of preparation for work and very important for the professional future. The main advantages of the work pointed by them were: the provision for himself and family, the possibility of social mobility, the social contribution of labor (helping people), acquisition of responsibility and experience, support for school (guides the career choice), professional skills acquisition. Young people also showed the negative face of the job pointing, mainly, the lack of time to perform other activities such as study, leisure, living with relatives, among others. It was concluded that, from the apprentices' point of view, the job contributes more positively than negatively to their professional and personal development.

In the current national policy for special education from Brazilian Ministry of Educational (MEC) the so-called Multifunctional Resource Classes (SRMs) have been the main locus for the Specialized Educational Services (AEE) offer in the inclusive education perspective. According to official data, from 2005 to 2010, it were available 24,301 SRMs. From this amount 17,679 were for the municipal schools, 6,532 for the state schools, and the others for the federal educational system. This action included 83% of the brazilian cities and it was implemented in 43% of the public schools with enrollment of students belonging to the target audience of the Special Education in the regular system. However, because the complex and dynamic reality involving the educational systems, it is not always that the legal provisions can be implemented in practice. From this, we can ask: how are the systems organizing to comply with the legal provision about the implementation of the SRMs in terms of the operation of these classes, the professionals and the students evaluation? How are the professionals involved implementing and evaluating the SRMs services? This is an important empirical question if one consider that the policy of SRMs implementation is recent and requires the development of researches that can improve the possibilities of pedagogical actions with the students that demand specific interventions, mainly because we adopt the education as public and subjective right. Therefore, the aim of this study is to describe and analyze jointly with educational professionals the SRMs services from a medium-sized city in the São Paulo state, to understand how these professionals are being organized to achieve the legal provisions about the AEE implementation. To answer this question, this is a qualitative and collaborative research, which is, in a first step, a documentary study to feature the policy for special education and, in a second step, based in a cycle of 10 filmed meetings with teachers using the focal groups method; The study was accomplished in the public municipal system of education from the city of Rio Claro in the State of São Paulo covering 23 SRMs teachers and/or teachers of regular classes which had students served by SRMs. Furthermore, management professionals also participate of this study. The contents of the transcribed speeches were analyzed in a jointly work with the participants and resulted in three mainly axes of analysis. The data revealed that the city is trying to attend satisfactorily the current school inclusion policy. Nevertheless, to apply the normative indicated by MEC, many difficulties were encountered. Namely: the organization of the pedagogical work of the SRMs; the requirements for the formation of the specialized teacher and of the regular education; and about the evaluation (for identifying the student, for planning the lecturing and for measuring the learning progress of the student). The results obtained allow for asking if the multifunctional resource classes, as they have worked nowadays, offer adequate support to the schooling of the students with special educational needs in the regular schools.

The aim of this thesis is based on the defense of the hypothesis that there are remarkable influences of the physicist Heinrich Hertz s thinking, especially his The Principles of Mechanics (1894), on the Wittgenstein s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1922). From a series of occasions in which Wittgenstein quotes Hertz, it was proposed here to ascertain what extent this could be sustained. Thus, we tried to display Hertz s thinking within a context in which he involves with the analysis and discussions of the mechanics that were previous to Hertz, proposing a kind of purification of these mechanics, presenting his own image. His intention was to present a unique image from which what he calls pseudo-concepts could be understood; that is, force and energy. From this image, it is argued here, Wittgenstein makes use of its substantial elements (material particle, material point and system) in order to construct his ontology as well as the Hertzian notion that we form facts to ourselves . Besides, with his notion of metaphorical network, he uses a Hertzian procedure to determine the operation of a mechanical system through coordinates about Wittgenstein, determining singularity and the non-priority of a scientific theory over the other. However, at no time it is said that Wittgenstein provided some kind of improvement regarding the mechanics of Hertz because it would suggest that both were dealing with the same subjects within the same scope which, obviously, did not occur and Wittgenstein was aware of that. What Wittgenstein does is a reapplication of the elements of the mechanics of Hertz, in a diverse scope, in order to provide his philosophy with determination, generality and formal independence. The importance of this thesis lies in demonstrating that the tribute of the first to the second is permissible.

Abstract Although the studies regarding the role of counting in the acquisition of the numeric conceptual behavior has grown and developed in the past few decades, results available in the literature still show experimental and theoretical disagreements. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of training on oral counting in the acquisition of numeric conceptual behavior through the comparison to the performance of children who were not exposed to the training on counting. Participants consisted of eight children, between three and four years old, from a private elementary school in Araraquara city, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The battery of numeric tasks used for this purpose consisted of the following stimuli, all them ranging from 1 to 9: arabic digits (A); sets of pictures of objects and animals with a random spatial distribution (B); printed number-words (C), spoken numbers (D) and naming (E). Participants in both groups were submitted to the following initial tests: oral counting, identity matching (AA, BB, CC), symbolic relations (AB, AC, BA, CA, BC, CB), auditive-visual matching (DA, DB, DC) and naming (EA, EB, EC). Equivalence relations between numbers and quantities (AB, AC and DA) were trained on both groups, experimental (EG) and control (CG), and oral counting was taught to the EG only. Training on counting consisted of the following steps: verification, training and production of the numeric verbal sequence repertoire, and establishment of oneto- one correspondence between numbers and names of elements in a set. The emergence of the BA, BC, CA, CB, DB, DC, EA and EB relations was observed with the EG participants. By the other hand, subsequent tests of training on relations (same as the initial tests) showed the emergence of the BA, DB, DC, EA and EB relations with the CG. In general, EG participants presented better overall scores compared to the CG. The results presented herein point to oral counting as a facilitator for the numerical equivalence.

In this master s thesis we approach the entanglement between quantum states as a resource to be used in the transmission of quantum information, particularly in quantum teleportation. Our focus was directed toward the study of partially entangled quantum states, that is, states in which the entanglement degree is below the maximum value allowed by quantum mechanics, since they are more likely to be found in actual devices than maximally entangled states. We review the properties and concepts that characterize vectors and operators from the viewpoint of linear algebra to formally present the postulates of quantum mechanics. We introduced the notion of qubits and showed how these can be applied to computing tasks via quantum logic gates.We explained in details the main quantum teleportation protocols that originated the methods used in this work, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each one. We presented protocols with new arrangements and introduced techniques that have improved some of the known methods, providing for those alternatives relating to construction and architecture in the arrangement of the channels. We proved that the probability associated with a multiple teleportation of a single qubit through channels in series tends to the maximum limit for a special case. We showed that imperfect states can be corrected and that it is possible to transmit a single qubit or a pair of qubits using GHZ states and modification of Bell basis states. We discussed the relationship between the final success probability value and the bases and channels degree of entanglement for each method. We concluded the thesis with a general analysis of all protocols, highlighting the most efficient ones with arguments that include theoretical and practical viewpoints.

Experiments involving chemical induction of carcinogens in animals are common in the biological area. Interest in these experiments is, in general, evaluating the chemopreventive effect of a substance in the destruction of damaged cells. In this type of study, two variables of interest are the number of induced tumors and their development times. We explored the use of statistical model proposed by Kokoska (1987) for the analysis of experimental data of chemoprevention of cancer in animals. We flexibility the Kokoska s model, subsequently used by Freedman (1993), whereas for the variable number of tumors induced Conway-Maxwell Poisson (COM-Poisson) distribution. This distribution has demonstrated efficiency due to its great flexibility, when compared to other discrete distributions to accommodate problems related to sub-dispersion and super-dispersion often found in count data. The purpose of this paper is to adapt the theory of long-term destructive model (Rodrigues et al., 2011) for experiments chemoprevention of cancer in animals, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of cancer treatments. Unlike the proposed Rodrigues et al. (2011), we formulate a model for the variable number of detected malignant tumors per animal, assuming that the probability of detection is no longer constant, but dependent on the time step. This is an extremely important approach to cancer chemoprevention experiments, because it makes the analysis more realistic and accurate. We conducted a simulation study, in order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed model and to verify the asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimators. We also analyze a real data set presented in the article by Freedman (1993), to demonstrate the efficiency of the COM-Poisson model compared to results obtained by him with the Poisson and Negative Binomial distributions.
