Abstract

We study the thermoelastic system in a domain with moving boundary, which was obtained when, instead of the Fourier’s law for the heat flux relation, we followed the linearized model proposed by Coleman and Gurtin [3] and Gurtin and Pipkin [6] about the memory theory of heat conduction. We show the existence, uniqueness and exponential decay rate of global regular solutions.

Abstract

In the present study we analyzed the Brazilian scientific production in the area of science education. The study was structured on: data by research groups registered in Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; analysis of the post-graduate strictu sensu programs; analysis of theses and dissertations linked to post-graduate programs; and papers in international databases. Our research was conducted strictly via world wide web, from December 2009 to September 2010. It was found that both number of research groups, researchers, post-graduate programs, thesis, dissertations and papers presented a marked increase, especially in the last decade (from 2000 onwards). The major research centers were found to be located in public universities from Brazilian southeast and south regions. However, it was observed a tendency of decentralization, due to a recent investment in new public universities in the other Brazilian regions. So, this study sought to present an overview of the scientific production about science education and we expect that this information can help to expand the vision about the development of this research area in Brazil.
