To discuss matters related to equine reproduction, not available in the regular courses offered by the Graduate Program in Animal Reproduction, with the participation of professors, researchers and professionals from other national and international institutions. To address current and relevant subjects in the field of equine reproduction, offering student the opportunity to engage in discussions and establish collaborations with professors, researchers and invited professionals. School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science (FMVZ) São Paulo main campus Program content addresses the field of equine reproduction, including reproductive physiology, management, pathology, biotechnology and obstetrics. This will more precisely defined by the visitor professor, researcher and professional expertise.

Many society areas use computational applications in order to manipulate different media types, in a integrated fashion or not. The information volume generated by those applications and the need for inter-media synchronization make necessary to use coding techniques as well as standards to guarantee efficiency and interoperability. The knowledge about those techniques and standards are essential for graduated students develop research in the Multimedia area. The goal of this course is to present multimedia fundamentals, approaching important issues regarding different media types and coding methods. It is also in the scope to analyze features and limitations of available tools, applications and systems. After the course we expect the student to be capable to discuss recent related research topics. Institute of Mathematical and Computer Sciences (ICMC) São Carlos campus Mutimedia definition. Introduction to digitization. Compression of different media types. Basic compression techniques. Spatial and temporal coding.Standards. Multimedia segmentation and adaptation. Multimedia authoring.

Interactive systems are present in the daily lives of individuals who make explicit or implicit use of a variety of computing devices. This course provides students with a comprehensive overview of the key concepts, techniques and methods that can be used in the design and evaluation of such systems. The course aims at presenting the fundamental concepts, techniques and methods for the design, development and evaluation of interactive systems. Institute of Mathematical and Computer Sciences (ICMC) São Carlos campus Interaction design. User experience. Conceptual models. Metaphors. Paradigms. Cognitive, social and emotional aspects. Interface types. Natural interfaces. Interfaces for mobile devices. Techniques for identification and analysis requirements. Design, prototyping and construction. Agile UX. Design patterns. Avalia__o: inspection techniques and usability testing. Maria da Gra_a Campos Pimentel 30 SCC5912 8 The complementary course “Human-computer Interaction II: practice” allows students to develop a project while applying the concepts tackled in this course.

The knowledge within the animal reproduction context is new. Still, there are enormous possibilities to apply the reproductive biotechnologies using controlled follicular development and ovulation in the field. And it is noteworthy that the Department of Animal Reproduction has a line of research related to the theme which is coordinated by the professors who are proposing this course. Study in detail the endocrinological aspects of follicular development and ovulation empathizing the employment of the synchronization biotechnology for timed reproductive programs. The objective is also to develop in the graduate the capacity of critical analysis of issues related to the theme. School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science (FMVZ) São Paulo main campus 1- Physiology and endocrinology of follicular development; 2 – Follicular dynamics during reproductive life; 3 – Basics of ultrasound applied to follicular dynamics; 4 – Theories of the pharmacological control of the estrous cycle and ovulation; 5 – Hormone therapy; 6 – Anestrus; 7 _ Protocols to synchronize the follicular growth and ovulation; 8 – Possibilities to use the fixed-time artificial insemination in the field; 9 – Efficiency of the synchronization protocols for superovulation and fixed-time embryo transfer. Ed Hoffmann Madureira, Pietro Sampaio Baruselli 30 VRA5741 4 The evaluation is carried out at the end of the course with the presentation of seminars related to the content. http://ccint.fmvz.usp.br/index.php/en/

The course “Advanced Topics” is mandatory for graduate students of the Program in Biological Sciences-Biochemistry. Lecturers, who are Brazilian and foreign researchers, will present their recent research results and projects in the field of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. This course is presented every semester. Along this course, graduate students in be in contact with recent advances and projects in a free discussion situation, so they should develop an analytical viewpoint of the lectures and topics discussed. This course aims to present a broad view of research projects, recent advances and methodologies in the field of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Institute of Chemistry (IQ) São Paulo main campus Students enrolled in this course should be familiar with the content of textbooks as Biochemistry (Voet & Voet), Principles of Biochemistry (Lehninger) and Genes (B. Lewin). Topics will be focused in the field of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and they will be determined by the lecturers. Topics will include recent advances and research projects, approaches and methodologies, experimental results and published manuscripts. F_bio Lu_s Forti, Roberto Kopke Salinas, Alexandre Bruni Cardoso 60 QBQ5759 2 Students should present at least one written question to the speaker. http://www3.iq.usp.br/index.php?a=&idioma=us
