Abstract:
Mould growth affects a significant proportion of dwellings in the UK and Europe. The house dust mite is also known to inhabit most dwellings and is one of the key factors affecting the health of the occupants. One of the key variables affecting mould growth and house dust mite populations is relative humidity. The relative humidity in a dwelling is dependent upon both the moisture levels and the temperature. The ability to assess the impact of different interventions on the relative humidity depends upon the ability to model both the internal temperature and the internal vapour pressure. This

Abstract:
We present recent results on a binary threshold sensor based on the binary zero-power sensor (BIZEPS) platform which is able to use the energy provided directly from the measured relative humidity of the ambient air to mechanically switch an electrical micro contact. This zero-power switch behavior is realized by using the humidity-sensitive volume swelling of a polymer layer as the detection element deflecting a mechanically deformable silicon boss structure, thus closing the electrical contacts of the switch. For the humidity-sensitive sensor switch considered here, a humidity-sensitive hydr

Abstract:
Forces acting between individual grains in a powder can have a critical and controlling effect on powder bulk behaviour. Operations such as powder flow, fluidisation, compaction, agglomeration and mixing are all influenced significantly by the intensity of interparticle forces. This is especially true when the particle size falls below around 100 mum at which point the surface forces outweigh the force due to gravity acting on a single particle. Studies of cohesion using bulk powder samples are of limited use because it is difficult to decouple the fundamental mechanisms of interparticle force

Abstract:
Cementitious materials such as concrete, cement and gypsum are widely used in construction, as the raw materials of which they are made are abundant on Earth. Such trend is unlikely to change in the coming decades. But these materials suffer from creep. The creep of cementitious materials is a complex issue. On one hand, in cementitious materials creep is often coupled with other phenomena such as drying, hydration and cracking, and can be influenced by various parameters such as temperature, level of stress, water content and mix design. On the other hand, measuring creep by traditional macro

Continued demands for better control of the operating conditions of structures and processes have led to the need for better means of measuring temperature (T), pressure (P), and relative humidity (RH). One way to satisfy this need is to use MEMS technology to develop a sensor that will contain, in a single package, capabilities to simultaneously measure T, P, and RH of its environment. Because of the advantages of MEMS technology, which include small size, low power, very high precision, and low cost, it was selected for use in this thesis.

Abstract:
The production loss and health issues due to the presence of high bulk milk tank somatic cell count in dairy herds makes it essential to implement a consistent effort to maintain this indicator at levels below those required by law. For veterinary practitioners, providing evidence-based advice to clients in order to reduce risk factors of increasing somatic cell count is a difficult task. Statistical Process Control tools allow to verify with statistical certainty when process performance is improving, staying the same, or getting worse and they can be used in dairy farms. The main purpose of

Abstract:
No presente trabalho propomos a utilização de uma técnica refratométrica baseada na determinação do ângulo crítico para o desenvolvimento de um sensor de umidade relativa e, no mesmo escopo de aplicação, um medidor de vácuo primário. A técnica proposta tira vantagem da diferença de fase adquirida pelas componentes paralela e perpendicular de um feixe luminoso, linearmente polarizado, passando por reflexão interna, para produzir um laser de HeNe sintonizável, um polarizador, um prisma semicilíndrico de índice de refração conhecido fabricado em vidro tipo flint, um analisador, um mínimo de inten

Abstract:
O Bioma Cerrado, ao longo da história de ocupação pelo homem, vem sendo explorado em detrimento da redução de sua biodiversidade. Dentre as várias características típicas da vegetação do cerrado, nesta tese, um maior destaque é dado às veredas que se alinham ao sistema hidrográfico acompanhando seu traçado e formando um corredor de cobertura vegetal de porte arbóreo, muito utilizado pela fauna local como fonte de alimentação, reprodução e abrigo, favorecendo o fluxo gênico local, como parte do processo natural de manutenção dos ecossistemas ali presente formadores do Bioma Cerrado.
