Continued advances in the semiconductor industry will require the introduction of new materials and processes concurrent with shrinking device dimensions. These simultaneous demands drastically reduce margins for error and necessitate an increasingly quantitative understanding of semiconductor processes. Leaders of the…

We strain our eyes, cramp our necks, and destroy our hands trying to interact with computer on their terms. At the extreme, we strap on devices and weigh ourselves down with cables trying to re-create a sense of place inside…

Photopolymers are studied as holographic recording materials for recording computer-generated phase holograms. The recording was performed using a holographic copying process, in which the master is produced by means of a high resolution graphic device. To our knowledge it is…

O processo geral de descoberta de conhecimento em banco de dados é composto por diversas etapas, destacando-se a de Mineração de Dados (MD). As principais tarefas de MD são associação, agrupamento e descoberta de regras de classificação. A tarefa de…

This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use ot…

O presente artigo apresenta uma proposta para o ensino de Termodinâmica que tem como ponto de partida as idéias intuitivas dos estudantes. A apresentação dos resultados de investigações sobre a compreensão e “enganos” dos estudantes nos leva a sugerir que…

This thesis studies the notion of knowledge in business firms, and in particular the concept of knowledge mobilization, understood as the mechanisms used by organizations to apply, transfer and retain knowledge about cause and effect relationships. As a theoretical framework,…

O presente artigo discute as conseqüências da comunicação para os estudantes de idéias sobre a natureza da ciência. Depois de explicitar a posição do autor acerca da estrutura do conhecimento científico no que concerne à relação teoria/experimento/tecnologia, são apresentados três…
