O presente relatório apresentado à Escola Superior de Educação do Instituto Politécnico de Bragança tem por base a reflexão sobre a Prática de Ensino Supervisionada no âmbito do Curso de Mestrado no Ensino de Inglês e de Espanhol no Ensino Básico administrado nesta Instituição pública. Tendo em conta que o humor constitui uma fonte importante de motivação na aprendizagem, procura-se entender através de que ativ...
Nas últimas décadas os estrogénios têm sido considerados hormonas masculinas, desempenhando um papel importante no controlo das funções reprodutivas masculinas. Contudo, o efeito dos estrogénios na regulação das funções testiculares ainda não está completamente abordado. As ações estrogénicas nos tecidos alvo, entre eles o testículo, são mediadas por interações hormonais com os recetores de estrogénios (ER e E...

Despite the steady increase in experimental deployments, most of research work on WSNs has focused only on communication protocols and algorithms, with a clear lack of effective, feasible and usable system architectures, integrated in a modular platform able to address both functional and non–functional requirements. In this paper, we outline EMMON [1], a full WSN-based system architecture for large–scale, dens...
Handoff processes, the events where mobile nodes select the best access point available to transfer data, have been well studied in cellular and WiFi networks. However, wireless sensor networks (WSN) pose a new set of challenges due to their simple low-power radio transceivers and constrained resources. This paper proposes smart-HOP, a handoff mechanism tailored for mobile WSN applications. This work provides t...

Reliability of communications is key to expand application domains for sensor networks. SinceWireless Sensor Networks (WSN) operate in the license-free Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands and hence share the spectrum with other wireless technologies, addressing interference is an important challenge. In order to minimize its effect, nodes can dynamically adapt radio resources provided information abou...
This poster abstract presents smart-HOP, a reliable handoff mechanism for mobility support in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). This technique relies on a fuzzy logic approach applied at two levels: the link quality estimation level and the access point selection level. We present the conceptual design of smart-HOP and then we discuss implementation requirements and challenges.
In spite of the significant amount of scientific work in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), there is a clear lack of effective, feasible and usable WSN system architectures that address both functional and non-functional requirements in an integrated fashion. This poster abstract outlines the EMMON system architecture for large-scale, dense, real-time embedded monitoring. EMMON relies on a hierarchical network ar...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted growing interest in the last decade as an infrastructure to support a diversity of ubiquitous computing and cyber-physical systems. However, most research work has focused on protocols or on specific applications. As a result, there remains a clear lack of effective and usable WSN system architectures that address both functional and non-functional requirements in ...
