Os objetivos deste estudo foram modelar e avaliar, pelo uso da lógica fuzzy, a sensação de conforto térmico de animais confinados em função das variáveis fisiológicas temperatura retal (TR) e frequência respiratória (FR), determinando os intervalos críticos dessas variáveis. O banco de dados foi formado em dois ambientes distintos: clima subtropical (Município de São Pedro, Brasil) e clima mediterrâneo (Municíp...
The present trend, even for the universities that have not been adjusted to the Bologna related structured 3rd cycle degree is to organize the PhD programs, offering doctoral courses to a maximum of 30 ECTS plus 150 ECTS for work research. Normally the duration of these programs will be of three years divided in 6 semesters. The prerequisites required for these programs are normally associated to the scientific...
The Bologna process has introduced many changes in the teaching and learning process. This has had also a significant influence in the research activities that can be implemented within the first two cycles of European Biosystems engineering university studies. In most cases the research activity has been allocated to the 2nd cycle of studies where the students are encouraged to do research Thesis to finalize t...
