This book offers a new calculation procedure of the structural behavior of grouped layout of silos, easy to use and with satisfactory responses.Groups of reinforced concrete silos are structures commonly used in the food industry, where it is usually necessary to separate the storage of different types and sources of grain.The grouped layout of silos has numerous benefits when compared with single-cell silos in which the emphasis is on creatin...
This book introduces the ultimate performance analysis tool (uPATO) as a new software to compute social network metrics in the scope of team sports analysis. The reader will identify the algorithms to test the general properties of the team, the co-dependencies and the centrality levels of players, i.e. to evaluate the individual, sub-group, and team performance analysis. As uPATO tool implements the metrics for all options, namely for unweigh...
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve ...

Em face da atual crise energética, pela qual o Brasil vem passando, torna-se proeminente a inserção de novas fontes de energia a matriz energética nacional. Devido a sua localização e condições climáticas o nordeste brasileiro possui uma vocação para utilização de energia solar, principalmente para aplicações térmicas. Contudo os meios atualmente disponíveis são importados e a maioria deles apresentam temperaturas de trabalho inferiores a 50ºC...

Os dejetos da pecuária suinícola constituem um dos mais sérios problemas ambientais, uma das tecnologias aplicadas de grande efeito para minimiza a poluição é o Biodigestor, um equipamento que dar-se-á possibilidade dos dejetos passarem por um processo de digestão anaeróbia visando à geração de biogás como fonte alternativa de energia e a redução da matéria orgânica poluente, transformando-a em um excelente fertilizante natural livre de contam...
After a long era of military rule, the South American nations have been working on the construction of a new democratic order. This book provides a long-term historical assessment of the main features of civil-military relations in this region, from independence in the early nineteenth century to the current process of democratic consolidation, with special attention to the cases of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Peru.
Essa obra reflete o papel do Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Comercial por meio das práticas formativas de Educação Profissional na Amazônia. O texto expressa um recorte na visão do pesquisador de que afirma a grande relevância do SENAC na execução da educação profissional nesse espaço. Contudo, mostra que as medidas desenvolvidas não são suficientes, nem tampouco adequadas as necessidades locais, inclusive porque não se tem um modelo local d...
- Provides a comprehensive review of the literature in range image registration and serves as an effective study guide on this important topic- Presents a novel robust error measure, the surface interpretation, which is easily computed and offers significant immunity to non-Gaussian errors. The shortcomings of the least squares formalism in this setting are carefully explored- The first substantive work focusing on precision alignment, and the...
The Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller operates the majority of modern control systems and has applications in many industries, thus any improvement in its design methodology has the potential to have a significant engineering and economic impact. Despite the existence of numerous methods for setting the parameters of PID controllers, the stability analysis of time-delay systems that use PID controllers remains extremely difficu...
