Adaptweb: um ambiente para ensino-aprendizagem adaptativo na Web
Este artigo, com ênfase nos aspectos técnicos, apresenta os resultados obtidos
no âmbito dos projetos Electra e Adaptweb, voltados para a autoria e
apresentação adaptativa de disciplinas integrantes de cursos EAD na Web. O
objetivo é permitir a adequação de táticas e formas de apresentação de conteúdos
para alunos de diferentes cursos de graduação e com diferentes estilos
de aprendizagem, possibilitando diferentes formas de apresentação de cada
conteúdo, de forma adequada a cada curso e às preferências individuais dos
alunos participantes. Esta proposta foi validada através de um estudo de
caso real, envolvendo a disciplina de Métodos Numéricos da Universidade
Estadual de Londrina (UEL). Esta disciplina é oferecida para três cursos
universitários: Matemática, Engenharia e Ciência da Computação. Em cada
curso, o professor-autor configura uma seqüência de conceitos, com seus
respectivos níveis de profundidade, bem como exemplos, exercícios e materiais
complementares apropriados. Os alunos podem utilizar diferentes estilos
de aprendizagem através da seleção do modo de navegação e dos estilos
de apresentação. Os aspectos de adaptabilidade navegacional incluem navegação
em modo tutorial ou livre, oferecendo diferentes alternativas de táticas
de ensino. O ambiente completo para autoria e apresentação de cursos encontra-
se atualmente disponível na fase de protótipo operacional. Este protótipo
está sendo incorporado na plataforma de EAD em software livre da
Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). O ambiente está baseado
em um conjunto de componentes que suportam as fases de pré-autoria,
adaptação de conteúdo e navegação. A implementação utiliza primordialmente
a linguagem de programação PHP, o gerenciador de banco de dados
MySQL e a linguagem XML.
Adaptweb: a teaching-learning environment adaptable in Web
Abstract
This article, which emphasizes the technical aspects, presents the results
obtained within the ambit of Electra and Adaptweb projects, applied to the
authorship and the adaptable presentation of the disciplines that compound
the courses EAD in the Web. The aim is to allow the adequacy of tactics and
ways to present the contents to the students from different graduation
courses and with different learning styles, enabling different ways of
presenting each one of the contents, adjusting it to each course and to the
individual preferences of the participating students. This proposal was
validated through a real case study, involving the Numeric Methods discipline
at the State University of Londrina (UEL). This discipline is offered to three university courses: Mathematics, Engineering and Computer Science.
In each course, the author-professor sets a sequence of concepts, with their
respective levels of complexity, as well as with their respective examples,
exercises and suitable complementary materials. The students may use
different learning styles through the selection of the navigation way and of
the presentation styles. The navigational adjustment aspects include
navigation in a tutorial or in a free way, offering different alternatives of
teaching tactics. The complete environment for the authorship and
presentation of courses is available at the present moment at the phase of
operational prototype. This prototype is being incorporated to the platform
of EAD into some free software from the Federal University of Rio Grande
do Sul (UFRGS). The environment is based on a set of components that back
up the pre-authorship, adaptation of content and navigation phases. The
implementation primordially uses the language of PHP programming, the
database carrier MySOL and the XML language
Characterization of the geographical distribution pattern of the family Limacinidae Gray, 1840 (Mollusca - Gastropoda) in the waters of Northeastern of Brazil
Thecosomata e Gymnosomata (Mollusca, Gastropoda) da cadeia Fernando de Noronha, Brasil
The Mollusca Pteropoda from Fernando de Noronha Chain Northeastern Brazil were studied in order to know their taxonomy and distribution. Collections were carried out during the I Oceanographical Expedition of the REVIZEE Program (Live Resources of the Economical Exclusive Zone) from August to September 1995. The studied area is located between 03°04'S-04°23'S and 32°19'W-36°26'W, comprising 35 stations. Sampling was performed through oblique hauls from 50m depth to surface and from 100 m depth to surface, with a Bongo net (300 and 500 µm mesh size, net diameter: 60 cm), that was equipped with a flow meter. Samples in a total of 99 were preserved, immediately, in buffered 4% formaldehyde. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the samples were performed based on total sample. The samples were analysed on a counting plate "Bogorov" type under a stereo microscope. A total of 8,258 organisms were identified belonging to: 8 families, 16 genera and 27 species. Limacina inflata (d´Orbigny, 1836) and Creseis virgula (Rang, 1828) were frequent and very frequent in the area outranking among the studied Pteropoda. The total density varied from 2.5 to 3,012.05 org.m-³. Highest richness was registered at the Continental Shelf and Slope with 1two species. The Pteropoda association showed higher differences between day and night collections. Limacina inflata caused this difference due to its higher density at night collections and it was independent of the depth, mesh size and temperature. Creseis virgula had its occurrence, mainly, during day time

Characterization of the geographical distribution pattern of the family Limacinidae Gray, 1840 (Mollusca - Gastropoda) in the waters of Northeastern of Brazil
The geographical distribution of the family Limacinidae in the Northeastern coast of Brazil was analyzed by taking into account the most relevant ecological aspects, aiming to increase the knowledge about the Family. The material was collected during the 4th Oceanographic Expedition of the REVIZEE program (Assessment of the Sustainable Potential of Living Resources in the Exclusive Economic Zone - Avaliação do Potencial Sustentável de Recursos Vivos da Zona Econômica Exclusiva), in the months from September to December 2000. The studied area is located between 00°46’45”N and 13°53’45”S and between 29°15’40”W and 39°49’42”W, where six trips were performed, totaling 123 stations. The samples were collected using a bongo net (300- and 500-µm mesh size and net mouths of 60 cm in diameter) coupled with a digital flowmeter in oblique hauls from a depth of 0 to 200 m. For this study, the organisms retained in the 300-µm mesh were considered. On board the ship, the samples were placed in plastic containers, labeled, and fixed in 4% formaldehyde buffered with sodium tetraborate. In the laboratory, the samples were analyzed on a “Bogorov” tray under a binocular stereomicroscope. A total of 5655 individuals of the family Limacinidae were examined and were distributed as follows: 3 genera and 5 species. Representatives of the family Limacinidae were observed at high temperatures and salinities and were thus characterized as tropical and euhaline.Heliconoides inflatus was the species with the greatest abundance and frequency. Limacina lesueurii proved to be a rare, infrequently observed species. Limacina trochiformis andL. bulimoides were not abundant or frequent.Limacina lesueurii and L. bulimoides were recorded in neritic waters for the first time; this was also the first record ofL. lesueurii in the waters of Northeastern Brazil.Limacina trochiformis and L. bulimoidesexhibited wide distributions, although they were neither very frequently observed nor abundant. The distribution of Thielea helicoideswas restricted to oceanic waters. A correlation between Limacina bulimoides, Heliconoides inflatus, Thielea helicoides, and L. lesueurii was observed because they coexisted in the same niche

Pteropoda (Gastropoda, Thecosomata e Gymnosomata) coligidos ao largo dos arquipélagos de São Pedro e São Paulo, costa nordeste, Brasil Pteropoda (Gastropoda, Thecosomata and Gymnosomata) collected along the northeast coast of the archipelago of São Pedro and São Paulo, Brazil
<abstract language="eng">Pteropoda studies were carried out offshore São Pedro and São Paulo Archipelago (0º56'2"N e 29º20'6"W) to assess biodiversity and spatial distribution. A Bongo net (mesh size 300 micrometer) was hauled obliquely from a depth between 0 and 50 m and Oand 100 m by the REVIZEE-SCORE/NE I oceanographic expedition on board of the Brazilian Navy Oceanographic Ship Antares. Samples were collected at 16 stations from September to October 1995. A total of 880 organisms distributed in 20 species, 14 genera and 9 families were identified. At the layer 0-50 m, Creseis virgula (Rang (828) was the most frequent species (71.43%), followed by Limacina inflata (Orbigny, (836) and Cavolinia inflexa (Lesueur, 18(3) (64.28%, each). ln terms of relative abundance outranked L. inflara (varying between 57.5 and 92.24%) and C. virgula (varying between 60.0 and 72.73%). At the layer 0-100 m, C. virgula was very frequent (80%), L. inflata (70%) and Cuvierina columnella (Rang (827) (40%) were frequent, other species had less than 30% of frequency. L. inflata varied from 37.5 to 100% and C. virgula from 42.42 to 100% of relative abundance. Species diversity varied from medium to low ( < 2.0 bits.ind-1) in both layers. At the layer 0-50 m C. virgula was directly correlated to temperature and salinity, while at the layer 0-100 m L. inflata was correlated to these parameters, showing that these species are Tropical Water indicators
