A produção animal nos ecossistemas do semi-árido é influenciada pela variabilidade espacial e interanual da oferta quantitativa e qualitativa de recursos forrageiros. A dinâmica da acumulação de fitomassa para a maioria das diferentes espécies da caatinga é pouco conhecida, o…

This paper presents a group of elements to improve the teaching and learning in technological education, applied to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). These elements are based on some contributions issued from contemporary education models, namely, the thematic approach, meaningful…

Presented at the PRHE (Pedagogical Research in Higher Education) Conference 16-17 June 2008., This paper highlights aspects of our experience as “exploratory practitioners” researching
the use and the value of two modes of assessment (web-based discourse and sketchbook
learning journals).…

(cont.) which is expected, given their additional knowledge resources. The respondents' urgency in looking for the relevant knowledge is the primary explanation for this difference between the two networks. This difference in knowledge networking among the different groups did not…

Adaptive finite element methods (FEM) have been widely used in applications for over 20 years now. In practice, they converge starting from coarse grids, although no mathematical theory has been able to prove this assertion. Ensuring an error reduction rate…

A new computable a posteriori error estimator is introduced, which relies on the solution of small discrete problems on stars. It exhibits built-in flux equilibration and is equivalent to the energy error up to data oscillation without any saturation assumption.…

Data oscillation is intrinsic information missed by the averaging process associated with finite element methods (FEM) regardless of quadrature. Ensuring a reduction rate of data oscillation, together with an error reduction based on a posteriori error estimators, we construct a…

This thesis examines the evolution of Internet based knowledge networks (e-knowledge networks) in the domain of sustainable development. The objective of this thesis is to use an engineering systems approach to understand knowledge networks, identify the barriers to their sustainability…
