Constitui-se num estudo bibliográfico elaborado com base na apresentação e discussão de publicações acadêmicas e de documentos governamentais sobre as experiências desses países e sobre a trajetória recente do tema no Brasil. Os processos português e italiano vislumbram e concretizam uma nova cultura avaliativa da oferta educativa em âmbito institucional, guiados por demandas distintas e por especificidades próprias. Entretanto, compartilham princípios comuns, entre os quais: a participação democrática; a negociação; o potencial formativo; e a intencionalidade principal relativa à melhoria da qualidade educativa. Conhecer e compreender tal mudança de paradigma interessa para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas acadêmicas e para a implementação de percursos de avaliação em redes e instituições públicas e privadas. As referidas experiências contribuem para o fomento ao debate, com proposições de políticas públicas de avaliação e com a efetivação de práticas avaliativas, voltadas ao soerguimento da oferta formativa para as crianças pequenas em creches e pré-escolas.
The Study on the Left- Right Axis of Horizontal Dimensional Time- Space Metaphors of English in Chinese Hearing Impaired People

Chinese hearing impaired people show consistency effect of aesthesia and kinesthetic modality.According to the test,Chinese hearing impaired people show similar past,right- futuretime-space metaphors in both visual and kinesthetic modality as the normal hearing people. Meanwhile,Chinese hearing impaired people have their own characteristics different from the normal hearing people: learning and using sign language has an effect on horizontal dimensional time- space metaphors of English in Chinese hearing impaired people,and the subjects do not have the characteristics of ipsilateral dominance effect in the presented position of stimulating materials as well as the reaction. Therefore,Chinese hearing impaired people should be aided to distinguish the semantic differences in the concepts of time and space different from normal hearing people,which will contribute to the formation of their horizontal dimensional time- space metaphors of English from the left- right axis similar to the normal hearing people.
The Optimal Parameters Design of Drawing for the Y Type Teeth Using Four Y-Slot Die-Wheel

Zipper manufacturer always requires Y type zipper to design clothes. To meet the huge global demand, the high-precision forming process is required to improve production speed and production accuracy. The basic component of Y type zipper is the metal Y type teeth. The poor design of drawing process without optimization will result in bad quality of products. The most common defects of Y type teeth drawing process included (1) the teeth size error caused zipper sudden opening, two rows of Y type teeth cannot be close together; (2) zipper does not pull smoothly, it needs more pull force; (3) too much residual material cause higher cost and poor performance; (4) unstable quality cannot reach the standard of high level zipper. This article uses the finite element method to simulate the drawing process of copper Y type teeth. Computer-aided analysis software ABAQUS CAE is applied to execute drawing process simulation analysis and to obtain the optimal design parameters of drawing. Based on the best modeling of the FEM prediction, the complicated relationships between the experiment drawing Y-slot die parameters and the max. deformed can be obtained, the max. deformed error is 7%.
Towards the design of a new humanoid robot for domestic applications

Robots that possess the ability to undertake everyday tasks in domestic environments have the potential to provide unprecedented independence to disabled and elderly people who are currently reliant on other people to do these jobs for them. In addition to the ability to perform basic tasks, it is desirable that such robots possess some form of social interface such that users can interact with them in a natural manner. While many robot platforms have been developed to perform everyday tasks, few systems possess high levels of mechanical efficiency, system stability, practical functionality and a dynamic social interface. This work presents the novel design of a humanoid robot that uses wheels for locomotion and the combination of an actuated stabilizer and a self-balancing control algorithm to maintain stability. To validate some of the basic concepts in this design, a full scale working prototype was built and its performance was tested. It was found that despite being the first prototype of its type, it was capable of robust locomotion in indoor environments and was capable of traversing small bumps with relative ease. It was also very efficient at picking up small items that from the ground.

A DSL Compiler for Accelerating Image Processing Pipelines on FPGAs

This paper describes an automatic approach to accelerate image processing pipelines using FPGAs. An image processing pipeline can be viewed as a graph of interconnected stages that processes images successively. Each stage typically performs a point-wise, stencil, or other more complex operations on image pixels. Recent efforts have led to the development of domain-specific languages (DSL) and optimization frameworks for image processing pipelines. In this paper, we develop an approach to map image processing pipelines expressed in the PolyMage DSL to efficient parallel FPGA designs. Our approach exploits reuse and available memory bandwidth (or chip resources) maximally. When compared to Darkroom, a state-of-the-art approach to compile high-level DSL to FPGAs, our approach (a) leads to designs that deliver significantly higher throughput, and (b) supports a greater variety of filters. Furthermore, the designs we generate obtain an improvement even over pre-optimized FPGA implementations provided by vendor libraries for some of the benchmarks.

Neural circuit mechanisms of memory destabilization

Memories can be rendered rewritable through a phenomenon called reconsolidation. The all-limiting step in this memory re-evaluation process is its initiation; the retrieval-dependent destabilization of the memory. However, the understanding of how a stable memory can be switched into a vulnerable but modifiable state is mostly in its infancy. Therefore, I aim to investigate the neural circuit mechanisms underlying retrieval-induced memory destabilization in the tractable fruit fly brain. 

A prerequisite to investigate the neural mechanisms involved in destabilizing a memory is to know where the learned information is stored and to have access to the associated network. Olfactory memories in flies are stored in the mushroom body as changes between odor coding principle cells and valence coding output neurons. The cell specific genetic access to the 2500 neurons of each mushroom body allows to manipulate and monitor the activity of all components of the network in behaving animals. Recently I established a paradigm that allows to study the mechanisms underlying memory reconsolidation in this numerically simple brain structure. First results indicate that I have identified specific neurons which are crucial for destabilizing reward memory. Starting from these findings I will study the neural circuit mechanisms involved in memory destabilization. 

I aim to generate an understanding of
1)	the neural circuits underlying memory destabilization 
2)	how restrictive conditions gate reconsolidation
3)	the role of targeted protein degradation in the destabilization of memory

The work will establish the first mechanistic insight into how memories are destabilized, how a destabilized memory is represented in the brain and how boundary conditions prevent the initiation of memory reconsolidation.

A biomarker-based assay for prognosis and monitoring in renal transplantation

Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). However, although surgical techniques and postoperative care have greatly advanced, renal transplantation is not empty of challenges.
The most important challenge is to achieve the long-term survival of the transplanted organ. Graft survival depends on the ability of the recipe of not rejecting the “foreign organ”. Rejection is a naturally occurring process triggered by a biological response of the immune system, which main function in the body is to defend it against infectious organisms and other invaders. As such, the immune system is prepared to reject a “foreign organ”, something that is nowadays prevented by prescribing immunosuppressive therapies to the patients for their whole life. However, the use of immunosuppressive therapies entails important problems. On one side, suppressing the immune system implies severe side effects like opportunistic infections, cancer and other severe malignancies. On the other side, even under immunosuppressive therapies, about 40% of transplanted kidneys are lost during the first 15-20 years and this is because of an immune response known as chronic rejection. Therefore, the major challenges in ESKD deal with avoiding the side effects associated with immunosuppressant drugs and avoiding chronic rejection.
In the TRANSBIO project we aim at bringing to the healthcare market a patented (201500415) technology for efficient prognosis and monitoring of patients undergoing a kidney transplant based on a simple and non-invasive blood 
Considering that worldwide, the number of people receiving renal transplantation annually (incidence) is estimated at more than 1.4 million, representing a prevalence of about 5 million people; the TRANSBIO business opportunity seems unquestionable.

Capturing Ear Geometry through Convex Hulls: Development of Personal Identification System

In this article, we present the development of a personal identification system which is based on a unique methodology of recognition of geometry of the human ear. The case in point is the application of convex hulls to capture the shape of the ear in an optimal way with utmost precision. Around 300 images of right ear which were captured in vivo formed the database for the development of the system. All the 300 images were precisely fitted into convex hulls and 13 features namely area, aspect ratio, baricentric coordinate, convexity, concavity, eccentricity, circular equidiameter, Euler number, Ferret's diameter, farm factor, branch angle, perimeter and solidity were elicited from the images. The system so developed is evaluated for its generality and consistency. We found a very high recognition accuracy of 98%. The system performance measures are found to be in corroboration with international standards.
Defining a typology of peri-urban land-use conflicts – A case study from Switzerland

Abstract Land-use conflicts are a concern for landscape planners, especially in peri-urban areas. Planners need to understand these conflicts better in order to make optimal decisions on land-use allocations and conflict management. Such conflicts, however, are complex entities. A common approach for better understanding complex entities is to categorize them into a limited number of types. This study contributes to this end by presenting a typology of land-use conflicts for a peri-urban area of Switzerland. The primary data source is a content analysis of print media reports on land-use conflicts in a larger geographical area from 2006 to 2009. Information on conflict issues is extracted from the reports, transformed via presence/absence coding, and then further processed using cluster analysis with Jaccard's distance measurement. The results of the cluster analysis are displayed as dendrogram and correlation table. Six meaningful types of peri-urban land-use conflicts are identified, namely ‘Noise pollution’, ‘Visual blight’, ‘Health hazards’, ‘Nature conservation’, ‘Preservation of the past’ and ‘Changes to the neighborhood’. The conflict types do not exist independent of each other, but are often closely related. Analyzing these relationships reveals that alleged ‘main’ issues may not necessarily be the ‘real’ issues. These insights are crucial for effect-oriented landscape planning.
Molecular dynamics investigation of the interaction of an edge dislocation with Frank loops in Fe–Ni10–Cr20 alloy

Abstract The inhibition of dislocations motion by irradiation-induced defects, such as dislocation loops, is one of the main mechanisms of irradiation hardening of austenitic stainless steels. In this work, Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of interaction between an edge dislocation and Frank loops in Fe–Ni 10 –Cr 20 ternary alloy mimicking austenitic stainless steels are carried out to investigate and model dislocation behavior. An empirical interatomic potential developed recently for a ternary FeNiCr system is used for the MD calculations. The interactions are calculated at different temperatures, loop orientations, loop size and solute atom configurations. The results show that the loop strength and the interaction processes depend on the solute atom configuration, the geometrical configurations between the dislocation and the loop and temperature. It is also demonstrated that a small Frank loop is not so weak an obstacle in the alloy. The interaction leads microstructural change such as loop shearing, loop unfaulting and loop absorption in the dislocation. In the former two cases, the loop remains after the interaction, however in some cases an absorption of the remaining loop by subsequent interactions with successive dislocations is observed.
Mitigating environmentally assissted cracking through optimisation of surface condition

Environmentally-Assisted cracking (EAC) is one of the major failure modes occurring in light water reactors (LWRs). The condition of surfaces exposed to the primary coolant plays a main role on the susceptibility of components to EAC. However, many national and international guidelines and standards do not address surface condition of critical components in nuclear power plants (NPP)
The goal of the MEACTOS project is to improve the safety and reliability of Generation II and III of  NPP by improving the resistance of critical locations, including welds, to EAC through the application of optimized surface machining and improved surface treatments.
MEACTOS is proposed by a consortium of 16 partners from 11 EU member countries (Spain, France, Finland, Czech Republic, Belgium, Germany, Slovakia, Romania, UK, The Netherlands and Slovenia) plus Switzerland (associated country of Euratom), that comprises all the appropriate key players to ensure the availability of technologies, capabilities, technical and operational knowledge required for the goal of the project. Research laboratories (VTT, SCK-CEN, CVR, CIEMAT, PSI, JRC, RATEN), universities (UNIMAN, USFD, STUBA) nuclear components suppliers (The NAMRC of the University of Sheffield, ENSA, SA.),utilities (EdF), engineering companies (ZAG, AMEC) and plant designers (AREVA-NP) has been selected in order to complete the required capacities to cover all the expertise fields faced by the project. The Consortium members have differential but complementary skills and expertise in areas such as project management, manufacturing, technology transfer or dissemination, to name a few key areas.

Pro-active material degradation programs outside Europe, particularly in Japan and in the United States, currently address, or plan to address, surface condition with respect to EAC.  This European MEACTOS project will directly benefit Europe, engaging on an equal footing with these initiatives, maintaining a level of competitiveness for European industry in the global scenario.
