Full textAbstract:
På en byggarbetsplats kan man ibland behöva sammansätta två eller flera träkomponenter till en träkomponent med rätt dimension. Det sker oftast genom spikning men det finns också möjlighet att limma ihop träkomponenter ute på en byggarbetsplats. Limning är inte alls lika förekommande på grund av de krav som ställs på limning av bärande konstruktioner och kringliggande miljö varför limning i princip endast sker i fabriksmiljö. I denna studie utförs en jämförelse mellan sammansättning av träreglar till en träpelare med avseende på hållfasthet och ekonomi. Detta jämförs dessutom med att köpa in pelare av trä med rätt dimension. I studien behandlas dessutom möjligheten att limma ute på en byggarbetsplats och hur limningen ska utföras på ett korrekt sätt. Studien har genomförts med hjälp av de standarder som finns för beräkningsregler för dimensionering av bärverk, eurokoder. Kostnadsberäkningar har genomförts för material och utförandearbete med hjälp av marknadspriser för material och enkla beräkningar för utförandearbete. En intervju har genomförts för att besvara möjligheten att limma ute på en byggarbetsplats med lim för bärande konstruktioner. I studien har beräkningar utförts för två samt tre sammansatta träreglar och jämförts med enkla pelare i liknande dimensioner. Spikad pelare har en avsevärt lägre bärförmåga än limmad pelare som är utförd korrekt. Spikad pelare har beräknats med olika avstånd mellan spikar och limmad pelare är beräknad med två olika lim. Kostnaderna för material och utförandearbete är ganska generella men är bara en liten del av de totala kostnaderna. Vart byggarbetsplatsen är placerad, vilka verktyg och material som finns på plats och vilka förutsättningar för att utföra limningen korrekt är faktorer som är avgörande för den totala kostnaden. Ett limförband är känslig och viktigast är att applicera rätt mängd och jämnt utbrett över träytorna. Vad som dessutom ska tas till hänsyn är kringliggande miljö såsom smuts, damm, temperatur och fuktighet. För att uppfylla dessa krav ute på en byggarbetsplats måste en fabriksmiljö skapas i form av väderskydd, tält, arbetsbod eller liknande.

Two simple analytical models are developed with Matlab to predict the mid-lateral displacement of cracked, un-cracked or retrofitted timber columns. In the models are considered the presence of retrofitting elements with high modulus of elasticity, like: carbon, glass, pbo fibres with different spacing, and how those elements influencing the mid-lateral displacement. The first model is based on the "displacement method analysis for frame" and the second one is based on a "frame stability analysis by finite element method". The results obtained with these models is useful to determine the maximum length that a vertical crack can have before is necessary a retrofitting action in a timber column.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies the behaviour of hybrid systems consisting of tubular steel columns and laminated glulam timber beams. The research includes experimental investigations at the material and structural system levels as well as several numerical and assessments. Firstly, an extensive experimental programme is conducted on the determination of the material properties of the glulam. This involve compressive, tensile, shear and bending material tests. In addition, one-dowel connection tests are carried out to examine the interaction between the steel fastener and the timber volume around the fastener hole with the aid of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) techniques. Subsequently, detailed three-dimensional detailed models are constructed and their results are compared with the experimental tests. To account for the material damage, the foundation zone approach was used. This model was shown to be able to correctly simulate the crushing response of wood in the embedding region. The implementation of this region into the model allows an accurate simulation of the damage accumulation process. To this end, new relationships were formulated as part of this thesis, that can be used to estimate the material characterisation as a function of the crushing volume. The proposed model allows for a relatively low dependence on the radius of the foundation volume adopted making it applicable to a wider range of varying geometrical configurations. The validity and accuracy of the proposed modified foundation models were examined against the experimental force-displacement curves, and good agreement was found between the experimental response and the numerical simulations The second experimental programme is concerned with the performance of timber beam-steel column assemblages. Two timber beam-to-steel column alternatives are examined: a) top and seat angle connection and b) slotted-in T-stub connection with bolts. The configuration of the connections and their set-up are presented, followed by detailed results in the form of figures and tables as well as observations from the tests. The main behavioural patterns are identified and key response characteristics such as stiffness, capacity and failure mechanisms are discussed. Detailed finite element models were created to simulate the experimental timber beam-to-steel column connection tests. The models included advance features such as contact phenomena, bolt pretension and orthotropic material definitions. The foundation zone approach developed in this thesis was implemented. The results of the models were validated against the experimental results and good agreement was found. Additionally, component-based models were also formulated for the prediction of the flexural response of the connection types tested. These expressions were developed to estimate the stiffness, capacity and ultimate loads of the connections and the results were validated against the experimental and numerical findings. The component models proposed were able to predict the response of the connection accurately including those cases where screws and bottom-wedge angles were involved. In the concluding part of the thesis, the developed finite element models are employed in a parametric assessment in order to highlight the influence of key geometric and material considerations. The dearth of information on timber-steel hybrid connection of this type, design methodologies must be developed to offer a preliminary assessment on the prediction and evaluation of the key characteristics and hence the results are also compared with simplified analytical expressions. Finally, the last section of the thesis summarised all the findings and numerous possible future research are identified.

Full textAbstract:
The majority of research on high strain-rate effects in timber structures has been limited to the study of the load-bearing members in isolation. Limited work has been conducted on timber connections and full-scale timber assemblies under blast loading, and these have generally been constrained to qualitative observations. In North America, the increasing prevalence of mid- and high-rise timber structures makes them susceptible to blast effects. In addition, questions remain on how to design and optimize these timber assemblies, including the connections, against blast loads, due in part to the limitations on comprehensive design provisions.
The effects of far-field blast explosions were simulated using the University of Ottawa shock tube. A total of fifty-eight dynamic tests were conducted on connection-level and full-scale specimens. The research program aimed to investigate the behaviour of heavy-timber connections when subjected to simulated blast loads. The experimental results showed that connections with a main failure mechanism consisting of wood crushing experienced significant increases in dynamic peak load when compared to the static peak load. In contrast, connections where steel yielding and rupturing occurred experienced no statistically significant increase in dynamic peak load. Full-scale glulam specimens with bolted connections designed to yield via wood crushing and bolt bending performed better than those with overdesigned connections. Bolted connections which failed in splitting led to premature failure of the glulam assembly. Reinforcement with self-tapping screws allowed these bolted joints to fail in a combination of bolt yielding and wood crushing, and provided more ductility when compared to unreinforced specimens. Specially designed energy-absorbing connections significantly increased the energy dissipation capabilities of the timber assemblies. The basis of these connections was to allow for connection yielding while delaying failure of the wood member. This was achieved via elastoplastic connection behaviour, which effectively limited the load imparted onto the wood member. Based on the experimental results, limitations in the current Canadian blast provisions were highlighted and discussed. A two-degree-of-freedom blast analysis software was developed and validated using full-scale and connection-level experimental results and was found to adequately capture the system response with reasonable accuracy. Sensitivity analyses regarding the applicability of using single-degree-of-freedom analysis were presented and discussed.

A análise das colunas geológicas consultadas a partir de diferentes livros didáticos, possibilitou compreender como o tempo geológico aparece no ensino de evolução, junto à disciplina de biologia do ensino médio e na disciplina de geografia do ensino fundamental, enfocando a origem e as transformações do relevo terrestre ao longo das eras geológicas. Foi possível observar inúmeras informações heterogêneas e problemáticas didáticas, revelando problemas de ordem estrutural e cognitiva, que podem prejudicar professores e alunos no entendimento do tempo profundo, apresentando eventos desorganizados ou omitidos. Procurou-se ressaltar os principais marcos da construção da coluna geológica assim como os principais personagens envolvidos; citando James Hutton, John Playfair, Charles Lyell, Charles Darwin. Responsáveis estes parcialmente pelas modificações do pensamento filosófico-científico da Europa durante os séculos XVIII e XIX, destituindo o antigo pragmatismo dominante da crença de um planeta com 6000 anos de idade. As escalas temporais envolvidas como o mega-intervalo Pré-Cambriano, com 4,0 bilhões de anos de duração ou representando cerca de 85% do tempo geológico, muitas vezes foi apresentado graficamente diminuído ou omitido nas colunas geológicas analisadas. Detectou-se também problemas gráficos visuais com o Eon Fanerozóico, exibindo superdimensionamento das eras e períodos sem nenhuma justificativa aparente, e ressaltando com freqüência, graficamente, a Era Cenozóica com distinto grau de importância, apesar desta apresentar o menor intervalo de tempo registrado na coluna geológica, aproximadamente 65 milhões de anos. A compreensão cognitiva do tempo geológico é complexa e os livros didáticos pouco ajudam seu aprendizado. As evidências fósseis são tomadas como decisivas para a compreensão do tempo geológico. Como parte do trabalho, foram analisadas entrevistas com crianças e adolescentes moradores de jazigos fossilíferos, a fim de compreender como as evidências que lhes são próximas possivelmente influenciaram as idéias que elaboravam sobre o passado do planeta.

Full textAbstract:
A continuous load path in a structure is always the best way to transmit the load from the upper story to the foundation. However, there is a tradition of using irregular shapes of structures nowadays to enhance the aesthetic, make a terrace, or for getting sunlight. This irregular shape disrupts the continuous load path of the structure and there is the formation of a high-stress zone in the structure which may lead to failure in case of extreme events. During the event of an earthquake, a structure that has an irregularity in its mass, stiffness, and strength suffers more damage as compared to its regular counterpart. So, we need to pay more attention while designing the irregular structure so that it can withstand the force acting on it and ensure the safety of people. So, in this thesis, the seismic response of structures with vertical irregularity is studied. For this purpose, the fundamental time periods of the structures with vertical irregularity are studied and compared with their regular structure. The obtained result is compared with the approximate fundamental period, Ta, given by ASCE/SEI 7-16. Also, the location of critical columns which has the highest load ratio is studied and designed.

Renewable energy is a critical component in combating climate change. Ocean wave energy is a source of renewable energy that can be harvested using Wave Energy Converters
(WECs). One such WEC is the floating Oscillating Water Column (OWC), which has been
successfully field tested and warrants further exploration. This research implements a publicly accessible code in MatLab and SimuLink to simulate the dynamics of a floating OWC
in the time domain. This code, known as the Floating OWC Iterative Time Series Solver
(FlOWCITSS), uses the pressure distribution model paired with state space realization to
capture the internal water column dynamics of the WEC and estimate pneumatic power
generation. Published experimental results of floating moored structures are then used to
validate FlOWCITSS. While FlOWCITSS seemed to capture the period and general nature
of the heave, surge, and internal water column dynamics, the magnitude of the response
sometimes had errors ranging from 1.5% −37%. This error could be caused by the modeling
techniques used, or it could be due to uncertainties in the experiments. The presence of
smaller error values shows potential for FlOWCITSS to achieve consistently higher fidelity
results as the code undergoes further developments. To demonstrate the use of FlOWCITSS,
geometry variations of a Backward Bent Duct Buoy (BBDB) are explored for a wave environment and mooring configuration. The reference model from Sandia National Labs, RM6,
performed significantly better than a BBDB with an altered stern geometry for a 3 second

Renewable energy is a critical component in combating climate change. Ocean wave energy is a source of renewable energy that can be converted into electricity using Wave Energy Converters (WECs). One such WEC is the floating Oscillating Water Column (OWC), which has been successfully field tested and warrants further exploration. Floating OWCs are partially submerged floating structures that have an internal chamber which water oscillates in. The motions of the water displace air inside this chamber, causing the air to be forced through a high speed turbine, which generates electricity. This research develops a publicly accessible code using MatLab and SimuLink to evaluate the motions and power generation capabilities of floating OWCs. This code is then validated against physical experiments to verify its effectiveness in predicting the device's motions. This publicly accessible code, known as the Floating OWC Iterative Time Series Solver (FlOWCITSS), showed error ranging from 1.5 % - 37% for the most important motions that are relevant to energy harvesting and power generation. These errors could be caused by the numerical models used, or uncertainties in experimental data. The presence of smaller error values shows potential for FlOWCITSS to achieve consistently higher fidelity results as the code undergoes further developments. To demonstrate the use of FlOWCITSS, geometry variations of floating OWCs are explored.

Full textAbstract:
The current work has developed a CFD model to characterise a pseudo-annular photocatalytic bubble column reactor. The model development was divided into three stages. Firstly, hydrodynamic assessment of the multiphase fluid flow in the vessel, which incorporated residence time distribution analysis both numerically and experimentally for validation purposes. Secondly, the radiation distribution of the UV source was completed. The final stage incorporated the kinetics for the degradation the model pollutant, sodium oxalate. The hydrodynamics were modelled using an Eulerian-Eulerian approach to the multiphase system with the standard k- turbulence model. This research established that there was significant deviation in the fluid behaviour in the pseudo-annular reactor when compared with traditional cylindrical columns due to the nature of the internal structure. The residence time distribution study showed almost completely mixed flow in the liquid phase, whereas the gas phase more closely represented plug flow behaviour. Whilst there was significant dependence on the superficial gas flow rate the mixing behaviour demonstrated negligible dependence on the liquid superficial velocity or the liquid flow direction, either co- or counter- current with respect to the gas phase. The light distribution was modelled using a conservative variant of the Discrete Ordinate method. The model examined the contribution to the incident radiation within the reactor of both the gas bubbles and titanium dioxide particles. This work has established the importance of the gas phase in evaluating the light distribution and showed that it should be included when examining the light distribution in a gas-liquid-solid three-phase system. An optimal catalyst loading for the vessel was established to be 1g/L. Integration of the kinetics of sodium oxalate degradation was the final step is developing the complete CFD model. Species transport equations were employed to describe the distribution of pollutant concentration within the vessel. Using a response surface methodology it was shown that the reaction rate exhibited a greater dependency on the lamp power that the lamp length, however, the converse was true with the quantum efficiency. This work highlights the complexity of completely modelling a photocatalytic system and has demonstrated the applicability of CFD for this purpose.

The potential for improved selectivity has made column flotation cells a popular choice for upgrading fine coal. Unfortunately, recent production data from full-scale column plants indicate that many industrial installations have failed to meet original expectations in terms of clean coal recovery. Theoretical studies performed using a simple dispersion model showed that this inherent shortcoming could be largely minimized by reconfiguring the columns to operate in series as a cell-to-cell circuit. Follow-up field data showed that this low-cost modification increased flotation recovery as predicted by the dispersion model. This study presents the key findings obtained from the field investigation and provides generic guidelines for designing multi-stage column circuits.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Denitrification is a microbially-catalyzed reaction which reduces nitrate to N2 through a series of intermediate nitrogen compounds. Nitrate is a nutrient and its release into the environment may lead to eutrophication, depending on the amount that is released and the state of the recipient. The release of nitrate from the mining industry in Kiruna (Sweden) has been identified as an eutrophication risk, and a denitrifying bioreactor is to be constructed at the site to reduce the nitrate release.Since the denitrification rate decreases with temperature and the temperature in Kiruna during large parts of the year drops below 0˚C, the denitrifying bioreactor therefore has to be designed for the site-specific environment in terms of flow rate and hydraulic residence time. Laboratory column studies are used to study and determine the nitrate removal rate in a low temperature environment (5˚C) with pine wood chips as reactive matrix/ electron donor; the input solution had an average concentration of 35 mg NO3-N/L and a high sulfate concentration. Nitrate removal was studied as a function of hydraulic residence time and temperature. Parameters that were monitored include pH, alkalinity and concentrations of ammonium, nitrite and sulfate in the effluent from the columns. On three occasions, samples were gathered along the flow path in the columns (concentration profiles) such that changes in nitrate, nitrite, and occasionally ammonium concentration could be studied in relation to each other. The study concluded that a denitrifying bioreactor utilizing pine wood chips as the reactive matrix is a suitable option for nitrate treatment in a low temperature (5˚C) environment. Under the conditions of the study, effluent nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium concentrations are below limits established in legislation. Nitrate removal rates are given for zero-order nitrate reduction and overall first-order nitrate reduction, as the concentration profiles revealed a decrease in nitrate removal rate as nitrate concentration dropped below 3 mg NO3-N/L.Nitrat är ett näringsämne som kan orsaka övergödning vid utsläpp, beroende på halterna och recipienten. Växterna som tar upp kväve kommer så småningom att dö och sjunka mot botten där de förmultnar. Förmultningen kräver syre, och vid ökad växtlighet så ökar även konsumtionen av syre då det finns mer organiskt material att bryta ned. Detta leder i slutändan till syrefria områden, där djurliv och växtlighet är mer begränsade. Nitratutsläpp från gruvindustrin i Kiruna har blivit identifierad som en potentiell övergödningsrisk och en denitrifierande bioreaktor ska därmed installeras för att minska utsläppen. Denitrifikation är en mikrobiell reaktion som reducerar nitrat till kvävgas genom en serie av intermediära kväveföreningar. En denitrifierande bioreaktor använder sig utav denitrifikation för att minska nitratkoncentrationer i vatten som passerar genom bioreaktorn som består av huvudsakligen; (1) bakterierna som sköter denitrifikationen, och (2) en kolkälla som fungerar som ”mat” till de denitrifierande bakterierna, Hastigheten varvid nitrat omvandlas till kvävgas genom denitrifikation, minskar med temperatur och den denitrifierande bioreaktorn måste därmed anpassas till omgivningen där den ska placeras med avseende på uppehållstid i reaktorn. Uppehållstiden måste vara tillräcklig för att minska nitratkoncentrationen till önskad nivå, men samtidigt så får uppehållstiden inte vara för lång då andra ämnen kan reagera och bilda ofördelaktiga produkter vid låga nitratkoncentrationer. Kolonnstudier i en låg-tempererad miljö (5˚C) är ett första steg för att studera hastigheten av nitratförbrukning i en sådan omgivning, och används i detta arbete med träflis av tall som kolkälla. Parametrar som påverkar, och varierar som ett resultat av, denitrifikation (exempelvis pH och sekundära föroreningar) övervakas. Hastigheten av nitratförbrukning som fås från kolonnstudierna kan sedan används som riktlinjer för konstruktionen av en denitrifierande bioreaktor i fältskala i Kiruna. Studiens slutsats är att en denitrifierande bioreaktor med träflis av tall som reaktivt medium är ett fungerande alternativ för nitrat reducering i en lågtempererad miljö (5˚C) då nitrat effektivt reduceras till under gränsvärden fastslagna i lag.

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo teórico da Técnica de Geração de Colunas (GC) aplicada em alguns Problemas de Roteamento de Veículo (PRV). Essa técnica foi inicialmente utilizada para tratar problemas de otimização de grande porte com estruturas especiais[Dantzig & Wolfe, 1960]. Dentre as diversas classes de problemas de roteamento; revisamos a aplicação dessa técnica a dois casos particulares: O problema de roteamento de helicópteros em plataformas marítimas, cujo objetivo minimizar o custo total do transporte; O problema de roteamento com janela de tempo, onde a função objetivo é descrita pelo tamanho da frota e o custo do percurso. Revisamos e implementamos um algoritmo de caminho mínimo com janela de tempo (CMJT). Esse algoritmo surge como um sub-problema do algoritmo Primai Simplex para resolver o problema de partição de conjunto, utilizado para modelar o problema de roteamento com janela de tempo.This work presents a study about the Column Generation Technique (CG) applied to some Vehicle Ftouting Problems. The technique was first used to deal with optimization problems having special structures. Among the vaa-ious classes of routing problems, we review the use of the technique in two specific cases: Ftouting helicopters for crew exchanges on off-shore locations, where the objective is to minimize the total transportation cost; Ftouting with time windows, where the objective function is composed by the size of the fleet and the cost of route. We review and implement a shortest path algorithm with time windows. This algorithm aa-ises as a sub-problem in the Primai Simplex algorithm to solve the linear relaxation of the set partitioning problem used to model the routing problem with time windows.

Full textAbstract:
Electrostatic charge generation in gas-solid fluidized beds is a significant industrial problem. Associated problems include particle agglomeration and particle wall fouling. In the polymerization industry this may result in "sheets" of fused polymer, due to exothermic reaction causing the melting of the polymer, which can fall off and block the distributor plate disrupting fluidizing gas flow. Additionally, blockage of the catalyst feed or the polymer removal system can take place or the product can become non-uniform. All of these problems require shut-down of the reactor which results in lost production time. While this phenomena has been identified for many years, the mechanisms involved are not well understood, especially wall fouling and the distribution of charge within the bed. Isolation of individual parameters such as hydrodynamics, operating conditions, and material involved is necessary to evaluate how each parameter impacts charge generation during fluidization.
In this thesis, the fluidization system consisted of a stainless steel column, two online Faraday cups, and a retractable distributor plate. This system allowed for the simultaneous measurement of charge within different regions of the bed: the entrained fine particles, the particles adhered to the column wall, and the bulk of the bed. Additionally, mass and particle size distributions were measured and images of the layer of particles adhered to the column wall were taken for comparison. This allowed for a charge distribution comparison and evaluation of wall fouling.
Three different parameters were investigated: duration of fluidization, column wall material, and relative humidity of fluidizing gas. Fluidization time was studied for 15, 30, 60, 120, 180, and 360 min; relative humidity was investigated for 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% relative humidity. Both fluidization time and relative humidity were evaluated at four different fluidization gas velocities, two each in the bubbling and slugging flow regimes. Column wall material was evaluated for a stainless steel and carbon steel column at two gas velocities, one each in the bubbling and slugging flow regimes.
Fluidization time was found to influence wall fouling in the bubbling flow regime as the particle layer continued to build as fluidization progressed. In the slugging flow regime, the particle layer developed within 15 minutes of the onset of fluidization. The bubbling flow regime was shown to have a greater capacity for charge generation than the slugging flow regime. This was due to the vigorous mixing in the bubbling flow regime resulting in more particle-particle interactions.
Column wall material was shown to influence wall fouling in the slugging flow regime due to the differences in surface roughness of the columns. This was due to the particle-wall contacts resulting in frictional charging which is the predominant charging mechanism in this flow regime. Charge was also impacted in the bubbling flow regime in those particles that were adhered to the column wall.
Relative humidity was found to influence wall fouling at the lowest gas velocity tested. However, variations in generation of charge occurred at all fluidization gas velocities tested; the charge-to-mass ratios for the particles adhered to the column wall in the slugging flow regime decreased with high relative humidities. This was due to either the formation of a water film layer on the column wall or instantaneous surface water films on the particles throughout fluidization.

housing, primarily: individual response to site, desirability, and sustainability, then
applies them in the design of an apartment building on a specific site. The project
also touches on questions of what makes a living space desirable, namely the
preservation of the tenant's individuality and the fostering of community, each of
which is examined and applied through the architecture. The project stresses that
individuality is supported through a tenant's choice of living space and, therefore,
that buildings following this model should not be identical copies, but rather unique
responses to their own sites following the guiding principles of this project. It
addition, as a secondary objective, the project explores the intricacies of mass
timber construction and building code.Master of Architecture
As the population rises and it becomes clearer that we can no longer afford to gobble up land for low density housing, our idea of what housing should be must also grow. It's inescapable that the future of housing involves refocusing on medium density apartments so that we can house more people on less land, but making that happen would involve a paradigm shift in what we consider the ideal housing condition. Convincing people to stay in apartment buildings instead of moving into a single-family house requires buildings that respond to their individual site, provide desirable apartments, respect the environment, and preserve the sense of community that is often found in low density developments. This project seeks to propose a model for the future of housing.

This work aimed to quantifier the archaeal and bacterial communities by real time PCR, that shown the number of copies of 16S gene, rDNA into the water samples and to compare the archaeal and bacterial profiles on the PCR/DGGE technique as well as relate them with environmental variables in two points, dam and input on the Itupararanga reservoir, Sorocaba s basin. The bacterial density on the sediment (6,09 x108 e 2,56 x 109, dam and input, respectively) was more than water column (6,79 x 107 e 6,55 x 107, dam and input, respectively) this can be attributed to increase of the nutrients concentration from the surface to bottom. The bacterial (6,09 x 108 e 2,56 x 109 dam and input, respectively ) and archaeal (2,31 x 102 e 4,49 x 102 dam and input, respectively) quantities on the reservoir were more in the water column than in the sediment, which can be caused by the higher nutrients concentration in the top and the lees nutrients concentration in the bottom of Itupararanga reservoir. Since the canonical correspondence analysis has been possible, identify that the archaeal community has correlated with profundity and ammonia concentration suggesting ammonia oxidizing archaea s presence and abundance. The bacterial community quantity has correlated with physical chemical properties like pH and dissolved oxygen suggesting the environmental variables influence the group s abundance. Richness has correlated with nutrients distribution like orthophosphate concentration suggesting that the resources may limit the communities.
Com este trabalho objetivou-se quantificar a comunidade de bactérias e arqueias por meio de PCR em tempo real que determina o número de cópias do gene 16S de rDNA presentes nas amostras ambientais e comparar as comunidades de arqueia e bactérias em um perfil de bandas de PCR/DGGE, bem como relacioná-las às variáveis ambientais de dois pontos, Entrada e Barragem do reservatório de Itupararanga, bacia do rio Sorocaba. A quantidade de bactérias (6,09 x 108 e 2,56 x 109 barragem e entrada, respectivamente) e de arqueias (2,31 x 102 e 4,49 x 102 barragem e entrada, respectivamente) no sedimento foi maior do que na coluna d água o que pode ser atribuído ao aumento da concentração de nutrientes da superfície para o fundo do reservatório. A partir de análise de correspondência canônica foi possível observar que a quantidade de arqueias relacionou-se a profundidade e à concentração de íons amônio indicando possível presença e abundância de arqueias amônio oxidantes (AOA), enquanto que as bactérias foram mais relacionadas às variáveis físico-químicas, como temperatura e oxigênio dissolvido indicando que este grupo é mais sensível às variações ambientais. A riqueza de ambos os grupos foi relacionada à disponibilidade de nutrientes, indicando que os recursos podem ser limitantes às comunidades.

A column generation based approach is proposed to solve scheduling problems for fractional airlines
efficiently and return near optimal schedules. Crew tours are building blocks of our approach, and
our approach is focused on exploring more feasible tours than other approaches. In particular, all
elements of a crew tour are optimized during the preparation and tour generation procedures.
Moreover, time windows of customer-requested flights are handled exactly, and generalized to time
window and crew time window of duties and tours. Furthermore, time windows of tours are contained
in the MIP formulation to ensure more feasible connections between tours.
In the pricing subproblem, an efficient constrained shortest path algorithm is proposed, which is
necessary for our model and also provides extensibility for incorporating more complex constraints
in the future. Computational results of our model show very small optimality gaps and consistent
improvements over the model used in practice. Moreover, restricted versions of our model that have
fast running time are provided, thus very desired in the case that running time has more priority
than solution quality. In order to understand the demand, data mining of demand data is presented
and analyzed. Moreover, a recovery model is proposed to deal with unscheduled maintenance in
practice, by reserving airplanes and crews in the model. Computational experiments show the
advantage of the recovery model, in the case of simulated unscheduled maintenance and comparing to
models without recovery considerations.

As águas foram incubadas com as populações fitoplanctônicas naturais, sem enriquecimentos nutricionais, sob diferentes níveis de atenuação radiação solar incidente total (100, 30 e 10% de IL) e temperatura igual a da água do mar de superfície. o potencial quimico e biológico dos dois tipos de água (ACAS e AC) e de uma mistura equitativa de ambas, foi avaliado através do monitoramento diário de aspectos quali- quantitativos do fitoplâncton (Clorofila-a, contagem e identificação das células e taxas de produção primária) e do teor de nutrientes dissolvidos no meio, durante o período de incubação. Foram realizadas três etapas experimentais: em Jul/88, Jan/89 e Jul/89 com durações de 8, 15 e 14 dias, respectivamente. A mistura da ACAS com AC apresentou os melhores rendimentos máximos de Clorofila-a e produção primária, sob os níveis de 100 e 30 % de IL. A 10% de IL, a ACAS mostrou- se mais produtiva do que quando misturada à AC e, em termos de Cl-a integral, teve rendimento superior inclusive ao obtido pela Mistura a 100% de IL. A AC apresentou um rendimento menor que as outras duas águas sob os três niveis de luz utilizados. Sob intensidades luminosas mais altas os nutrientes foram rapidamente assimilados causando uma floração de espécies oportunistas (diatomáceas) logo no inicio do periodo de incubação, o que não foi observado sob intensidades luminosas menores. Os resultados ainda indicam que os \"lag-time\" observados no inverno foram significativamente maiores que os do verão. Foi também possivel observar a existência de uma estratificação fisiológica das populações fitoplanctônicas presentes em uma mesma massa d\' água, em função da profundidade, no inverno. Esta estratificação provavelmente deveu-se à diferentes suprimentos nutricionais de origem orgânica que estariam disponiveis apenas para as populações da água de fundo, possivelmente devido a interação da água com o sedimento. Estes resultados demostram a grande importância da água da ACAS como agente fertilizador para as águas oligotróficas da região, permitindo a ocorrência de produção nova.The vertical mixing of the rich, low temperature, deep South Atlantic Central Water (SACW), with the low nutrient, low phytoplanktonic biomass and hiSh temperature Coastal Water (CW), irom Ubatuba region, was simulated erforming bioassays. The waters were incubated with the authoctonous phytoplankton without any nutrient addition, under ifferent attenuation levels (100, 30 and 10% ) of the total incident solar radiation and at the same temperature as the urface sea water. The chemical and biological potential of each water (SACW and CW), and of an equivalent mixture of them, wa evaluated by means of a daily monitoring of quali and quantitative phytoplankton aspects (Chl-a, cell counting and photosynthetic rates) and of the dissolved nutrient concentrations durins the incubation period. Three series of experiments were performed: Jul/88, Jan/89 and Jul/89, lasting 8, 15 and 14 days espectively. The mixing of SACW and CW presented the best maximum yield oi chlorophyll and photosyntetic rates under 100 and 30% solar radiation. Under 10% SACW alone waa more productive than mixed with CW and, considering integral chlorophyll-a during the whole period. it preaented a higher yield than the one obtained with Mixed Water under 100% oí solar radiation. CW preaented the lowest yield under the experimental light leveI used. Under high light intensi ties nutrients were quickly assimilated inducing a bloom of opportunist species (diatoms) at the begining of the incubation period, which was not observed under low light intensities.(diatoms) at the begining of the incubation period, which was not observed under low light intensities. Results also indicate that the Ias times observed during winter were ignificantIy higher than those during summer. It was possible to observe the existence of a Physiological atratification among phytoplank.tonic populations from the same water mass, as a function of depht, durins winter. This phenomenon was probably due to diatinct nutricional aupply of orsanic origen that would be avaiIabIe to deep populations only, possibly as a consequence of ater/sediment interactiona. These results demonstrate the great importance of SACW as a fertilizer agent to the oligothrophic waters of the region, allowing the occurrence of new production.

Full textAbstract:
As the Army transitions to the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) deployment cycle, it must adjust its many operations in support of ARFORGEN. Specifically, the Initial Military Training (IMT) must be able to adjust the scheduling of its classes for newly enlisted service members to finish training such that they fulfill Brigade Combat Team (BCT) requirements within their common due windows. We formulate this problem as a lot streaming problem. Lot streaming splits a batch of jobs into sublots,which are then processed over the machines in an overlapping fashion. To schedule classes for the IMT, there are two stages that must be coordinated: Basic Training (BT) and Advanced Individual Training (AIT). For the Army Force Generation problem, the classes are considered as sublots that are streamed from one stage to the next. For this process, the model formulation must address determination of class sizes and scheduling of soldiers and classes at the two stages such that (1) the start times of the soldiers at Stage 2 are greater than their completion times at Stage 1, and (2) the assignment of requisite number of soldiers is made to each BCT, so as to minimize the total flow time.
We propose a decomposition-based approach for the solution of this problem. In an effort to decompose the problem, the original lot streaming problem is reformulated such that the master problem selects an optimal combination of schedules for training classes and assigning soldiers to BCTs. A complete schedule selected in the master problem includes the assignments of soldiers to classes in BT, AIT, and their assignments to the BCTs, so as to minimize the total flow time as well as earliness and tardiness for regular Army units. Earliness and Tardiness are defined as the length of the time a soldier waits before and after the due date, respectively, of the BCT to which he or she is assigned. Our decomposition-based method enables solution of larger problem instances without running out of memory, and it affords CPU time reductions when compared with the CPU times required for these problem instances obtained via direct application of CPLEX 12.1.
Our investigation into the structure of the problem has enabled further improvement of the proposed decomposition-based method. This improvement is achieved because of a result, which we show, that the first and second-stage scheduling problems need not be solved as one combined subproblem, but rather, they can be solved sequentially, the first stage problem followed by the second stage problem. The combination of Stage 1 and Stage 2 problems as one subproblem creates several additional enumerations of possible schedules the model must generate. By reducing this number of enumerations, the computational effort involved in solving the model reduces significantly, thereby allowing reductions in CPU time. In the Sequential approach, the completion times of soldiers determined at Stage 1 are passed to Stage 2 as bounds on their completion times at Stage 2. We prove that solving the combined subproblem sequentially as two subproblems is optimal when the first stage has no limit on the batch size and the ready times of the soldiers at Stage 1 are the same. For the Army Force Generation problem, we use unequal ready times, and therefore, solving the scheduling problems for the first two stages as sequential subproblems can lead to suboptimal solutions. Our experimental investigation shows efficacy of solving larger-sized problem instances with this method. We also recommend various potential additions to improve the Sequential approach for application to the overall Army problem. We have also demonstrated the use of our methodology to a real-life problem instance. Our methodology results in schedules for IMT with an estimated 28% reduction in mean flow time for soldiers over what is currently experienced in practice.
We apply this Sequential approach to various extensions of the problem on hand that pertain to hybrid flow shop and agile manufacturing environments. Results of our computational investigation show the effectiveness of using the Sequential approach over direct solution by CPLEX from the viewpoint of both optimality gap and the CPU time required. In particular, we consider two different model configurations for a hybrid flow shop and three different model configurations for an agile manufacturing facility.Ph. D.

Diversos testes foram realizados utilizando o gerador de instâncias aleatórias com base na distribuição de demandas proposto. Grandes instâncias, envolvendo milhares de viagens (entre 500-10.000) e dezenas de garagens (4-128) são resolvidas em tempos razoáveis.The multiple-depot vehicle-scheduling problem (MDVSP) is a classic logistic and transportation problem. The MDVSP is also a subproblem for solving various related problems, such as the real time vehicle scheduling problem, disruption management; and integrated problems such as the vehicle and crew scheduling problems. Although several mathematical and solution method have been developed in the literature, large instances (involving thousands of trips and several depots) are still difficult to solve in a reasonable time. The objective of this research work is to verify the applicability of the use of the space-time network towards obtaining good solutions for large instances in short time. Time-space network was suggested by Kliewer et al (2006), and it is positioned with respect to two-dimensional axes, one representing time and the other one space or stations. The arcs represent deadheading movements; and waiting periods in the same station. Solution methods for the MDVS combining time space with integer linear programming solvers and column generation were developed. Extensive testing was carried out using random generated instances, based on demands distribution. Large instances, involving thousands of trips (between 1,000-10,000) and dozen (4-64) depots, are solved in reasonable times.

Esta investigación trata sobre la aplicación del método de madurez aplicado al concreto en las estructuras de un edificio multifamiliar de 8 pisos para evaluar la resistencia a compresión del concreto y optimizar el tiempo de encofrado de las estructuras. La práctica usual de monitorear el concreto in situ usando especímenes cilíndricos es considerada inapropiada debido a que los especímenes curados en obra no experimenten el mismo historial de curado que las estructuras a las que se supone deben de representar. Por otro lado, el tiempo de encofrado depende de la resistencia de la estructura, un desencofrado prematuro puede generar el colapso de la estructura, pero un encofrado tardío puede generar mayores gastos en el presupuesto de la obra. El método de madurez contempla 2 ecuaciones para determinar y correlacionar la temperatura del concreto con su resistencia. Los resultados de resistencia a compresión del concreto medidos por el método de madurez no difirieron en más del 10% del valor de resistencia de los especímenes cilíndricos y se optimizó significativamente el uso del encofrado en las estructuras. Se concluye que este método es confiable para evaluar la resistencia a compresión del concreto y permite optimizar el uso de encofrado de las estructuras tanto verticales como horizontales.This research discusses the application of the concrete maturity method in an 8-story building structures for assessing the compressive strength of concrete and optimize the time of formwork structures. The usual practice of monitoring the concrete in situ using cylindrical specimens is inappropriate because specimens cured at work do not experience the same history of curing that structures which are supposed to represent. On the other hand, formwork time depends on the strength of the structure, a premature form removal can lead to the collapse of the structure, but a late formwork can generate higher expenses in the budget of the work. Concrete maturity method includes 2 equations to determine and correlate the temperature of concrete with strength. The results of resistance to compression of the concrete measured by the method of maturity not differed in more than the 10% of resistance of the cylindrical specimens and the use of the formwork is optimized significantly in the structures. It is concluded that this method is reliable to evaluate the resistance to compression of the concrete and allows you to optimize the use of formwork of the structures both vertical as horizontal.

Nuestro trabajo de investigación trata de evidenciar que todavía en nuestro país falta implementar tecnologías de protección sísmica, a pesar de que tenemos un silencio sísmico prolongado, hay autoridades que no han tomado las medidas preventivas para mitigar daños y pérdidas humanas. Por ello, ponemos énfasis en desarrollar opciones de construcción con acero para edificaciones de viviendas, oficinas, instituciones, etc., cabe resaltar que este sistema a diferencia del concreto nos proporciona mejores tiempos de construcción y en un eventual desastre, podría ser de mucha ventaja para una reconstrucción. Asimismo, analizamos la construcción con disipadores viscosos, que es un sistema que se está utilizando en nuestro país, pero todavía de manera muy incipiente, pero que evitarían el daño estructural y no estructural de las edificaciones, con lo cual se puede tener la continuidad del servicio, y evitar pérdida de vidas dentro de un sismo de gran magnitud. Consecuentemente, la investigación está dividida en 6 capítulos. En el primero, se presenta la descripción de nuestro proyecto de investigación. En el segundo, mediante el apoyo de bibliografía y artículos de investigación se explica los conceptos más importantes de disipadores viscosos y estructuras de acero compuestas. En el tercero, se detalla la estructuración y pre-dimensionamiento de nuestras edificaciones a analizar. En el cuarto, se desarrolla el análisis sísmico dinámico espectral y Tiempo Historia, y se pre dimensionan los disipadores viscosos. En el capítulo cinco se analiza el comportamiento de los disipadores viscosos con respecto a la deriva objetivo y se verifica si alcanza el amortiguamiento calculado. Finalmente, en el sexto capítulo, con los resultados anteriores se seleccionan los disipadores de acuerdo al catálogo del proveedor y se confirma el objetivo principal de la tesis.Our research work tries to show that seismic protection technologies still need to be implemented in our country, although we have a prolonged seismic silence, there are authorities that have not taken preventive measures to mitigate damages and human losses. Therefore, we place emphasis on developing steel fabrication options for residential buildings, offices, institutions, etc., it should be noted that this system, unlike concrete, provides us with better construction times and in a possible disaster, it could be of great advantage for a reconstruction, we also designed with viscous heatsinks, which is a system that is being used in our country, but still very incipient. With them, structural and non-structural damage to buildings could be avoided, thereby ensuring continuity of service, and avoiding loss of life in a major earthquake. Consequently, the research is divided into 6 chapters. In the first, the description of our research project is presented. In the second, through the support of bibliography and research articles, the most important concepts of viscous dissipators and composite steel structures are explained. In the third, the structuring and pre-dimensioning of our buildings to be analyzed is detailed. In the fourth, the spectral dynamic seismic analysis and Time History are developed, and the viscous dissipators are pre-dimensioned. In chapter five the behavior of viscous dissipator with respect to the target drift is analyzed and it is verified if it reaches the calculated damping. Finally, in the sixth chapter, with the previous results, the dissipators are selected according to the supplier's catalog and the main objective of the thesis is confirmed.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation considers daily operations management for a fleet of trucks providing container pickup and delivery service to a port. Truck congestion at access points for ports may lead to serious inefficiencies in drayage operations, and the resultant cost impact to the intermodal supply chain can be significant. Recognizing that port congestion is likely to continue to be a major problem for drayage operations given the growing volume of international containerized trade, this research seeks to develop optimization approaches for maximizing the productivity of drayage firms operating at congested seaports. Specifically, this dissertation addresses two daily drayage routing and scheduling problems.
In the first half of this dissertation, we study the problem of managing a fleet of trucks providing container pickup and delivery service to a port facility that experiences different access wait
times depending on the time of day. For this research, we assume that the wait time can be estimated by a deterministic function. We develop a time-constrained routing and scheduling model for the problem that incorporates the time-dependent congestion delay function. The model objective is to find routes and schedules for drayage vehicles with minimum total travel time, including the waiting time at the entry to the port due to congestion. We consider both exact and heuristic solution approaches for this difficult optimization problem. Finally, we use the framework to develop an understanding of the potential impact of congestion delays on drayage operations, and the value of planning with accurate delay information.
In the second half of this dissertation, we study methods for managing a drayage fleet serving a port with an appointment-based access control system. Responding to growing access congestion and its resultant impacts, many U.S. port terminals have implemented appointment systems, but little is known about the impact of such systems on drayage productivity. To address this knowledge gap, we
develop a drayage operations optimization approach based on a column generation integer programming heuristic that explicitly models a time-slot port access control system. The approach determines pickup and delivery sequences with minimum transportation cost. We use the framework to develop an understanding of the potential efficiency impacts of access appointment systems on drayage operations. Findings indicate that the set of feasible drayage tasks and the fleet size required to complete them can be quite sensitive to small changes in time-slot access capacities at the port.

The aim of the final thesis was to design and assess timber loadbearing structure of planetarium located in Brno and height of the construction 10 m. Designed building of planetarium consists of dome and hall, which operate separately. The structure is designed from glue laminated timber, solid timber and steel bracing, ridge ring and connecting elements. Building foundations is solved by reinforced anchor blocks fixed to foundation pads, which are connected by foundation strips. Loadbearing structure of the dome consists of arched beams together with purlins and ridge ring. Stability is ensured by 4 fields of cross bracing located between purlins. Loadbearing structure of the hall consists of roof and wall beams connected by frame corners together with roof and wall purlins. In gable walls is structure complemented by columns. Stability is ensured by diagonal and vertical elements situated between wall purlins, which together form a truss system.
