Smith, Justin L. "New sharing method between the Fixed Satellite Service and the Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Service in the 14.0-14.5 GHz band." Thesis, Virginia Tech, 2002. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/31049.
Full textAbstract:
In the US, the 14.0-14.5 GHz band is allocated on a primary basis to the Radio-Navigation and the FSS with a secondary allocation to the LMSS. The Radio-Navigation service is the use of RADAR for navigation. An example of Radio-Navigation is the ground proximity radar used for airplane collision avoidance. FSS stands for the Fixed Satellite Service. In general, an FSS is a satellite network consisting of a geo-stationary satellite and non-movable earth stations on the ground. An example of an FSS is the earth terminals used at gas stations to verify credit cards and centrally track inventory. The 14.0-14.5 GHz band is also allocated on a secondary basis to the LMSS or Land Mobile Satellite Service. This is a satellite network with a satellite and a movable terrestrial non-aeronautical earth station. An example of an LMSS is a system called Omnitracs, which provides a satellite-based data connection for the trucking industry. AMSS stands for the Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Service. An AMSS is an LMSS dedicated only to airplanes.
The CPM or Conference Preparatory Meeting after WRC or World Radio Conference-2000 decided there was an urgent need for technical and regulatory studies covering sharing between the FSS and the AMSS. The requirement for a report on the studies was added to the WRC-2003 agenda. The WRC also stipulated that the studies must demonstrate that sharing between the FSS and the AMSS is feasible enough to allocate AMSS a secondary status in the band. The studies need to be completed before WRC-2003. AMSS contends that sharing is feasible if their service can meet the same PFD limits of the LMSS. Presently, the FCC has licensed the AMSS on an experimental non-interference basis.
The FSS contends that characteristics are needed of the AMSS system and a detailed sharing study be completed to verify sharing is feasible. The FSS believes that sharing may not be feasible if the same transponder is used for AMSS and FSS. The FSS perceives that the AMSS is asking for a super secondary status. Super secondary status implies that the AMSS would only be required to adhere to PFD limits on individual aircraft and not for multiple aircraft in view of a victim FSS receiver. Future studies will clarify this issue.
The issues associated with the sharing analysis are; the modeling of the orbital separation of the satellites, the atmospheric interference into the communication link and the availability of the communication link between the FSS and the AMSS.
The issues associated with modeling of the simulation are the static, verses dynamic modeling environments and developing a dynamic software tool to track airplane movement. This thesis plans to propose a new sharing methodology between the FSS and the AMSS that could be contributed to the WRC-2003 agenda.
Three systems examples were provided at ITU meetings inresponse to the WRC-2003 agenda item. The three systems will abide by the ITU-R S.728 EIRP limits. The three systems indicate that static analysis shows that sharing is feasible involving only one aircraft as the interfere. This is not a reasonable solution for a real time environment because there is only one aircraft used. It is necessary for the link to support multiple aircraft.
The factors that indicate sharing is feasible are: non-harmful interference to the victim and reasonable enough link margin in the interfere system to make it viable. A viable system in the case of aircraft would include high-speed internet and video. The AMSS interfere system cannot propose a power limit that will not allow it to close itâ s own link.
In order to mitigate the interference, systems can agree to certain interference mitigation techniques. The different techniques are: transmitting power control, geostationary arc avoidance angle and orbital arc separation.
Power control as described above is the centralized control of the interfering antenna into the victim. This is done by simulating the interference environment and pre-scheduling the decreases of the transmitting power. This is a feasible solution except that it decreases the availability and thru-put of the interfere system. This approach can make the system have unrealistic link margins and spotty availability due to the pre-scheduled power control.
Another technique is the geostationary arc avoidance angle. This technique is not applicable since both the AMSS and FSS use geostationary orbits.
The third technique is geostationary separation. This technique requires co-channel systems to maintain a certain orbital spacing between them. FSS systems in certain bands have a minimum of 3 degrees of orbital spacing between co-channel systems. Since the AMSS has 01/25/03 a mobile terrestrial system (aircraft) as part of the link, it requires a higher orbital separation between it and the FSS system. The results of dynamic analysis indicate that this technique is feasible at 10 degree orbital spacing.
The Monte Carlo analysis completed for this thesis simulated the results of four scenarios: co-located, 3 degree, and 5 and 10-degree orbital separation. It can be determined from the results that the interference decreases as the orbital separation increases. These simulations were done based on a 10 aircraft interfere scenario.Master of Science

This research examines the possible correlations between a computing student's learning preference and their academic success, as well as their overall satisfaction with their major. CS and IT seniors at BYU were surveyed about their learning preferences and satisfaction with their major. The research found that IT students who are more reflective in their learning preference tend to have higher grades in their major. Additionally, it found that student age and their parents' education level were significant players in their academic success. However, there were no correlations found between major satisfaction and academic performance.

Full textAbstract:
Medical imaging has advanced at a tremendous rate since x-rays were discovered in 1895. Today, x-ray machines produce extremely high-quality images for radiologists to interpret. However, the methods of interpretation have only recently begun to be augmented by advances in computer technology. Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) systems that guide healthcare professionals to making the correct diagnosis are slowly becoming more prevalent throughout the medical field.
Bone fractures are a relatively common occurrence. In most developed countries the number of fractures associated with age-related bone loss is increasing rapidly. Regardless of the treating physician's level of experience, accurate detection and evaluation of musculoskeletal trauma is often problematic. Each year, the presence of many fractures is missed during x-ray diagnosis. For a trauma patient, a mis-diagnosis can lead to ineffective patient management, increased dissatisfaction, and expensive litigation. As a result, detection of long-bone fractures is an important orthopaedic and radiologic problem, and it is proposed that a novel CAD system could help lower the miss rate. This thesis examines the development of such a system, for the detection of long-bone fractures.
A number of image processing software algorithms useful for automating the fracture detection process have been created. The first algorithm is a non-linear scale-space smoothing technique that allows edge information to be extracted from the x-ray image. The degree of smoothing is controlled by the scale parameter, and allows the amount of image detail that should be retained to be adjusted for each stage of the analysis. The result is demonstrated to be superior to the Canny edge detection algorithm. The second utilises the edge information to determine a set of parameters that approximate the shaft of the long-bone. This is achieved using a modified Hough Transform, and specially designed peak and line endpoint detectors.
The third stage uses the shaft approximation data to locate the bone centre-lines and then perform diaphysis segmentation to separate the diaphysis from the epiphyses. Two segmentation algorithms are presented and one is shown to not only produce better results, but also be suitable for application to all long-bone images. The final stage applies a gradient based fracture detection algorithm to the segmented regions. This algorithm utilises a tool called the gradient composite measure to identify abnormal regions, including fractures, within the image. These regions are then identified and highlighted if they are deemed to be part of a fracture.
A database of fracture images from trauma patients was collected from the emergency department at the Flinders Medical Centre. From this complete set of images, a development set and test set were created. Experiments on the test set show that diaphysis segmentation and fracture detection are both performed with an accuracy of 83%. Therefore these tools can consistently identify the boundaries between the bone segments, and then accurately highlight midshaft long-bone fractures within the marked diaphysis.
Two of the algorithms---the non-linear smoothing and Hough Transform---are relatively slow to compute. Methods of decreasing the diagnosis time were investigated, and a set of parallelised algorithms were designed. These algorithms significantly reduced the total calculation time, making use of the algorithm much more feasible.
The thesis concludes with an outline of future research and proposed techniques that---along with the methods and results presented---will improve CAD systems for fracture detection, resulting in more accurate diagnosis of fractures, and a reduction of the fracture miss rate.

Resumo: O presente trabalho apresenta os resultados obtidos com aplicação de técnicas de processamento digital de imagens Geoscan AMSS MK-ll na região do depósito aurífero da Fazenda Maria Preta, localizado na porção nordeste do estado da Bahia. O objetivo geral foi avaliar o desempenho das técnicas de processamento digital de imagens na discriminação das zonas de alteração hidrotermal associadas à mineralização aurífera. A aplicação de técnicas processamento digital nas imagens Geoscan AMSS MK-ll permitiram a discriminação das principais unidades litológicas, definidas no mapeamento realizado pela DOCEGEO, além de identificar ocorrências superficiais de minerais relacionados a processos de alteração hidrotermal. Porém, nesta região onde há atuação de intemperismo químico, uma avaliação mais criteriosa quanto à geologia e a origem do mineral discriminado é necessária. A origem deste mineral pode ter sido hidrotermal ou intempérica. Os resultados das análises de espectrometria de reflexão e difratometria de raios-X das amostras coletadas na área permitiram caracterizar que os solos oriundos das zonas mineralizadas e das encaixantes possuem composição mineralógica e comportamento espectral muito similares
Abstract: In this work it is presented an inexact Newton method by a new choice for the forcing term. A globalization of the new method is done by introducing a robust line search strategy. Convergence properties are proved. The inexact Newton step is obtained through the restarted GMRES, GMRES (m), applied for solving the linear systems. Numerical experiments showed a stagnation of the GMRES (m) and also an occurrence of a great increase in the norm of the function at the initial iterations. Some strategies were proposed to avoid these drawbacks. These strategies are characterized by their simplicity of implementation and also by the fact that they do not need internal modifications of the GMRES algorithm. So, the interaction with available softwares are trivial. A bunch of numerical experiments were performed. With them it can be concluded that the new choice for the forcing term and the strategies incorporated in the algorithm were successfull. The resulting algorithm is then robust and has global convergence property with supelinear convergence rate

Resumo: O presente trabalho apresenta os resultados obtidos com a aplicação de técnicas de processamento digital em imagens LANDSATrrM e GEOSCAN/AMSS na região do Depósito Aurífero de Riacho dos Machados, localizado na porção noroeste do estado de Minas Gerais. O objetivo geral traçado foi avaliar o desempenho de técnicas de processamento digital de imagens na caracterização de controles litológicos, estruturais e de zonas de alteração hidrotermal associadas à mineralização aurífera na área de estudo. A aplicação de técnicas adequadas nas imagens LANDSATrrM permitiram discriminação das principais unidades litológicas, definidas no mapeamento realizado pela ECOGEO (1991), além de identificar ocorrências superficiais de minerais relacionados a processos de alteração hidrotermal. As técnicas aplicadas para realce estrutural não identificaram novas feições em relação ao mapa geológico existente. Estudos de espectrometria de reflexão e difratometria de raio-X em amostras coletadas na área de estudo permitiram caracterizar um comportamento espectral diferente entre a zona mineralizada e a encaixante, com goetitalsericita-muscovita associados com a zona mineralizada e hematital kaolinita com a encaixante. O tratamento dos dados GEOSCAN/ AMSS permiti'ram identificar a ocorrência de minerais de alteração hidrotermal em superficie, mostrando que imagens com maior resolução espacial e espectral podem ser úteis na identificação de áreas potenciais para trabalhos exploratórios mais detalhados
Abstract: This work presents the results gf digital image processing techniques applied to LANDSATffM and GEOSCAN/AMSS in the region of the Riacho dos fV1achados Gold Deposit, in the northwest of Minas Gerais State. The main objective was to evaluate the performance of these techniques for characterizing lithologic and structural controls and hydrothermal alteration zones associated with gold mineralization.The application of selected techniques to LANDSA TffM allowed discrimination of the main lithologic unities, as defined by ECOGEO (1991), and also the main superficial occurrences of mineraIs related to hydrothermal alteration. Enhancement of structural information, however, did not add new information to the existing geologic map. Spectrometry and X-ray difIraction studies in samples collected in the study area allowed the characterization of difIerent pattems for the mineralized and host rocks, with goethite/sericite/muscovite being associated with the mineralized zone and hematite/kaolinite associated with host rocks. Processed GEOSCAN/AMSS images allowed the identification of hydrothermal alteration minerals at the surface, showing that remote sensing imagery with greater spatial and spectral resolutions may be useful for identifying areas with greater potential for more detailed exploration activities

Full textAbstract:
O presente trabalho é uma dissertação sobre literatura antiga, especialmente a profecia clássica e a apocalíptica, e investiga os textos dos profetas Oséias e Amós. Nossa suspeita é que existam nestes livros textos de natureza apocalíptica. Para demonstrar isso, organizamos o trabalho em três capítulos. No primeiro capítulo apresentamos as características da profecia clássica e da apocalíptica. Comparamos a profecia clássica com sua antecessora, a profecia oral, para, a partir daí, estabelecer suas características. Em seguida, analisamos a apocalíptica enquanto herdeira da profecia e da sabedoria demonstrando sua origem e peculiaridades. No segundo capítulo demonstramos o processo de fixação das profecias de Oséias e Amós. É sabido que os textos dos profetas passaram por um longo processo de desenvolvimento textual, no qual, camadas literárias foram agregadas e amalgamadas para explicar, orientar cronologicamente, unir ou separar perícopes e para atualizar liturgicamente. Analisamos os estágios de formação do texto que vão desde a proclamação oral da profecia até a sua redação final na qual suspeitamos terem sidos inseridos textos apocalípticos. No terceiro e último capítulo separamos para análise e argumentação alguns textos dos livros de Oséias e Amós que julgamos possuir características apocalípticas. São ao todo doze citações. Os textos com características apocalípticas, no entanto, não passam de motivos apocalípticos, fragmentos da literatura, são, portanto, poucos e pequenos. Nosso objetivo é apontar para a existência desses textos percebendo a influência que a apocalíptica exerceu na formação tardia dos livros de Oséias e Amós.This work is a dissertation on ancient literature, especially classical and apocalyptic prophecy, and investigates the texts of the prophets Hosea and Amos. Its hypothesis is that these texts are apocalyptic in nature. To demonstrate this, the paper is organized into three chapters. In the first chapter the characteristics of classical prophecy and apocalyptic literature are presented. It compares classical prophecy with its predecessor, oral prophecy, in order to establish its characteristics. Then apocalyptic literature is examined as the heir of both prophetic and wisdom literature, demonstrating its origin and peculiarities. In the second chapter it demonstrates the process followed in putting in final form the prophecies of Hosea and Amos. It is known that the texts of the prophets went through a long process of textual development, in which literary layers were aggregated and merged to explain, guide chronologically, unite or separate pericopes and update them liturgically. The stages of the texts development are analyzed, ranging from the oral proclamation of the prophecy until its final version in which apocalyptic passages have apparently been inserted. In the third and final chapter some passages of the books of Hosea and Amos that seem to have apocalyptic characteristics are identified for analysis and argumentation. Altogether we examine twelve citations. There are only a few, short passages with apocalyptic features, motifs and fragments. The goal of this paper is to point to the existence of these texts in order to highlight the apocalyptic influence exerted on the books of Hosea and Amos.

Full textAbstract:
Esta tese trata da infância e de uma didática, aquela formulada por Comenius no entrelaçamento de A escola da infância, O labirinto do mundo e o paraíso do coração e Didática Magna, endereçada, de uma forma ou de outra, à infância. Por isso, pensa a didática no âmbito de um dispositivo de infantilidade, uma vez que ali se conjugam um tipo de saber, uma forma de poder e um modo de produzir o sujeito infantil. Daí a pergunta: de que modo a didática comeniana aquela arte didática, arte de ensinar produz a infância e seus modos de conhecê-la, conduzi-la e governá-la? O objetivo desta pesquisa é justamente inventariar e, de alguma maneira, problematizar, por meio das ideias foucaultianas em torno do poder pastoral e da governamentalidade, a produtividade da arte didática comeniana a partir das suas forças de criação: 1. a infantilização da infância; 2. o governo da infância (e de si) e 3. a escrita didática como um trabalho ético, estético e político, uma forma de pensar e de escrever em educação. Parece haver toda uma tecnologia da salvação em operação na didática da infância comeniana: conhecer, formar, conduzir, governar. Tecnologia do poder pastoral que se destina a todos e a cada um. Aos outros e a si mesmo, esse propósito maior desse tipo de poder. O outro, a criança, esse ser em formação, desde a tenra idade, para não se perder no labirinto do mundo, indivíduo que está sujeito à operação do poder pastoral. A si mesmo, a criança por ela mesma, aquela que conhece o caminho para a salvação e que adere a ele (Deus), aquele que se conhece, se guia, se governa, o indivíduo que se sujeita, ele mesmo, aos exercícios da pastoral educativa da arte didática. O que se tem aí é toda uma infantilização da infância em curso. Produção de uma identidade específica a criança educada, obediente, crente. Produção de um modo de vida infantil a criança sujeita à arte didática, a criança que se sujeita à arte didática. O que está em jogo ali é justamente ensinar aquilo que se é, aquilo que se pode ser. O infantil estaria, desde então, na mira dos adultos, em uma relação de dependência dos adultos, aqueles que inculcariam nos primeiros os valores, os códigos de uma vida conformada a toda uma rede de saberes e poderes em torno da educação. A infância como objeto da educação. O infantil a ser educado, a ser salvo, do mundo e dele mesmo. Assim, a infância foi-se fazendo na trama da escrita didática desde Comenius, essa peça de um dispositivo de infantilidade ocidental, que ainda estaria em curso.This thesis deals with childhood and a didactic, that formulated by Comenius in the intertwining of his works A escola da infância, O labirinto do mundo e o paraíso do coração and Didática Magna, addressed in one way or another, to childhood. Due to this, this work thinks the didactic as part of a childlike device once it combines a kind of knowledge, power and a way of producing the child subject. Hence the question: how does a comeniana didactic that artistic didactic, the art of teaching produce a childhood and its ways of knowing it, leading it and leading it? The aim of this research is precisely identify and, somehow, problematize, through Foucaults ideas around the pastoral power and governmentality, the productivity of the artistic didactic comeniana starting from their forces of creation: 1. the infantilization of childhood; 2. the government of childhood (and oneself) 3. and the teaching writing as an ethical, aesthetic and political work, a way of thinking and writing in education. There seems to be a whole technology of salvation in the didactics of the comeniana childhood: knowledgement, grow, lead, govern. Technology of pastoral power that is addressed to anyone and every one. To others and oneself, this greater purpose for such power. The other, a child, who is in formation at an early age, to not get lost in the labyrinth of the world, an individual who is subject to the operation of pastoral power. The oneself, the child by herself, the one who knows the way to salvation and sticks to him (God), who is known, is guided, is governed, the one who makes (her)himself undergo the exercises of the educational ministry of didactic art. What you have there is a infantilization of childhood ongoing. Production of a specific identity a polite child, an obedient believer. Production of a childish way of life - the child within didactic art, the child who is subject to didactic art. What is at stake here is precisely to teach what one is, what one can be. The childhood would be, since then on target of adults in a relationship of dependence, those who would insert values in the ones previously mentioned (child), codes of a life conformed to a whole network of knowledge and power over education. The child as an object of education. The child to be educated, to be saved, from the world and himself. Thus, childhood was making up the net of didactic writing since Comenius, this piece of a device of Western childishness, which would still be ongoing.

Full textAbstract:
Comprendre le processus de formation stellaire est un objectif majeur en astronomie. Sur ce sujet les observations ne donnent que très peu d'information, et les modèles numériques sont donc naturellement privilégiés. De tels modèles s'attachent à suivre la dynamique du gaz, sous l'effet de processus physique variés, ce qui nécessite un temps de calcul très important et ne permet pas de modéliser l'évolution au delà de 0.2 Myr environ. Or les résultats observationnels sont essentiellement issus du champ galactique proche, des amas évolués, voire des regions jeunes ou associations d'étoiles, dont l'âge peut varier de 1 Myr à quelques Gyr. Par conséquent, il est nécessaire pour comparer les résultats des modèles aux observations de comprendre ce qu'il se passe durant cet intervalle de temps. La formation stellaire tend à produire des étoiles en groupes, à partir de l'effondrement gravitationnel d'un nuage moléculaire turbulent. A mesure que les étoiles se forment, le gaz est éjecté et l'évolution est dominée par les interactions gravitationnelles. Suivre l'évolution sous l'effet de ces interactions est couramment utilisé afin de contraindre les modèles et de mieux comprendre l'origine des populations stellaires observées. Les étoiles se forment en sous-groupes ou structures hiérarchisées, qui peuvent ensuite fusionner pour donner des amas stellaires proche des amas ouverts, ou au contraire finir en associations distinctes. Dans ma thèse, je me suis intéressé à l'évolution dynamique de petits groupes d'étoiles, jusqu'alors peu étudiés par rapport aux groupes à 1000 ou 10^4 étoiles. J'ai simulé l'évolution de groupes à N < 100, dans le but d'en étudier la dynamique d'un point de vue statistique, grâce notamment au grand nombre de simulations effectuées, et afin d'identifier les signatures observationnelles propres à une situation initiale donnée. A partir d'un grand nombre de configurations initiales (avec N=20, 50, 100, un rayon typique de 0.025 pc à 1 pc) et 500 simulations par configurations, j'ai étudié l'évolution dynamique de groupes composés d'étoiles de même masse ou comprenant un spectre de masse, et sans population de binaire initiale. L'évolution de tels groupes s'est révélée similaire à celle de groupes plus grands, mais avec une phase d'effondrement plus rapide et surtout moins prononcée. Je décris le comportement moyen menant à une lente expansion de l'amas, ainsi qu'une voie d'évolution très différente, apparaissant dans 17% des cas étudiés, où l'amas est complètement dispersé suite à l'éjection d'une binaire centrale serrée. J'ai également recherché dans quelle mesure les données en densité et en vitesse 3D pouvaient permettre d'identifier l'état dynamique initial d'un groupe. L'utilisation de ces seules données suffisait dans certain cas à déterminer la densité initiale, mais elles devraient être complétées par des données concernant la population de binaire. Ce travail pourra être mis en application pour étudier l'origine dynamique d'association ou de groupes stellaires connus. Enfin, j'ai effectué un grand nombre de simulations numériques dans le but de reproduire l'état observé de l'amas eta Chamaeleontis par pure évolution dynamique à partir de conditions initiales standards. Cette association présente des caractéristiques d'amas évolué, telle que son spectre de masse pauvre en objets de faible masse et l'absence de binaires larges. Je montre que ces propriétés ne peuvent pas être reproduites uniquement par la dynamique, et sont donc les traces d'un processus de formation non standard.

Infecções bacterianas constituem uma ameaça à saúde humana e um sério problema para os sistemas de saúde, devido à uma crescente incidência de infecções causadas por bactérias multirresistentes. Entre importantes bactérias causadoras de infecções estão as Staphylococcus aureus, espécie de maior interesse médico, sendo a causadora mais comum de infecções nosocomiais e também comunitárias; Staphylococcus epidermidis, isolado mais frequente encontrada em epitélios humanos, sendo a principal responsável por infecções relacionadas a dispositivos médicos; e a Escherichia coli, dentre as bactérias gram-negativas é a causadora mais comum de infecções nosocomiais e adquiridas na comunidade. Peptídeos antimicrobianos (AMPs) são um grupo diverso e abundante de compostos produzidos por organismos multicelulares, tanto animais quanto vegetais, e são componentes principais da imunidade inata contra infecções e podem ser alternativas no tratamento de doenças infecciosas. Neste contexto, a associação entre AMPs e a nanotecnologia pode ser utilizada como estratégia no combate a infecções bacterianas. Entre os nanomateriais existentes estão as nanopartículas poliméricas, que são biodegradáveis e biocompatíveis. Esses nanomateriais podem participar de formulações contendo antibióticos usuais ou novas moléculas bioativas, como os AMPs, e podem ser alternativas promissoras para o tratamento de infecções bacterianas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial antimicrobiano do peptídeo Lrot3.6 nanoencapsulado frente à bactérias gram-positivas e gram-negativas, bem como os efeitos citotóxicos em cultura in vitro de células HEK293. Foram sintetizadas nanopartículas de quitosana livre e estruturadas com o peptídeo Lrot3.6 pelo método de gelificação iônica. As nanopartículas sintetizadas foram caracterizadas quanto ao tamanho, índice de polidispersão, potencial Zeta e foi determinada a eficiência de encapsulação do peptídeo. Após a síntese, foram realizados ensaios antimicrobianos por microdiluição em placa de 96 poços, utilizando cloranfenicol, o peptídeo livre e nanoencapsulado, e a nanopartícula livre nas concentrações de 8, 16, 32, 64 e 128 μg/mL, bem como ensaio para análise da ação bactericida ou bacteriostática dos tratamentos e avaliação da citotoxicidade dos tratamentos por MTT. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas pelo teste de Tukey (p<0,05). Os índices de polidispersão foram 0,356 (nanopartícula livre) e 0,398 (peptídeo nanoencapsulado). Os potenciais Zeta foram 36,5 ± 2,1 mV (nanopartícula livre) e 35,7 ± 2,2 mV (peptídeo nanoencapsulado). O peptídeo nanoencapsulado apresentou uma eficiência de encapsulação de 93,55%. Em relação aos ensaios antimicrobianos, o peptídeo livre apresentou MIC de 8 μg/mL para todas as bactérias testadas. A nanopartícula livre também apresentou efeito antimicrobiano, com MIC de 64 μg/mL para todas as bactérias. A nanoencapsulação do peptídeo favoreceu principalmente a inibição do crescimento de E. coli, bactéria em que o tratamento mais se destacou por possível efeito sinérgico entre a quitosana e o peptídeo Lrot3.6. No geral, observou-se também a liberação prolongada do peptídeo em até 48 horas. Além disso, o nanossistema na menor concentração, 8 μg/mL, não foi citotóxico em até 48 horas.
Bacterial infections are a threat to human health and a serious problem for health systems due to an increasing incidence of infections caused by multiresistant bacteria. Among important bacteria that cause infections are Staphylococcus aureus, a species of major medical interest, being the most common cause of nosocomial and community infections; Staphylococcus epidermidis, the most frequent isolate found in human epithelia, being the main responsible for infections related to medical devices; and Escherichia coli among gram-negative bacteria is the most common cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infections. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a diverse and abundant group of compounds produced by multicellular organisms, both animal and plant, and are major components of innate immunity against infections and may be alternatives in the treatment of infectious diseases. In this context, the association between AMPs and nanotechnology can be used as a strategy to combat bacterial infections. Among the existing nanomaterials are polymer nanoparticles, which are biodegradable and biocompatible. These nanomaterials may participate in formulations containing usual antibiotics or novel bioactive molecules, such as AMPs, and may be promising alternatives for the treatment of bacterial infections. The objective of this work was to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of the peptide Lrot3.6 nanoencapsulated against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as the cytotoxic effects in vitro culture of HEK293 cells. Free chitosan nanoparticles were synthesized and structured with the Lrot3.6 peptide by the ionic gelation method. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by size, polydispersity index, Zeta potential and the peptide encapsulation efficiency was determined. After the synthesis, antimicrobial assays were performed by microdilution in a 96-well plate using chloramphenicol, the free and nanoencapsulated peptide, and the free nanoparticle at the concentrations of 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 μg/mL, as well as assay for analysis of the bactericidal or bacteriostatic action of the treatments and evaluation of the cytotoxicity of the treatments by MTT. Statistical analyzes were performed using the Tukey test (p<0.05). The polydispersity indices were 0.356 (free nanoparticle) and 0.398 (nanoencapsulated peptide). Zeta potentials were 36.5 ± 2.1 mV (free nanoparticle) and 35.7 ± 2.2 mV (nanoencapsulated peptide). The nanoencapsulated peptide showed an encapsulation efficiency of 93.55%. Regarding the antimicrobial assays, the free peptide showed MIC of 8 μg/mL for all the bacteria tested. The free nanoparticle also showed antimicrobial effect, with MIC of 64 μg/mL for all bacteria. Nanoencapsulation of the peptide mainly favored the inhibition of the growth of E. coli, a bacterium in which the treatment was most highlighted by a possible synergistic effect between the chitosan and the peptide Lrot3.6. In general, prolonged release of the peptide was also observed within 48 hours. In addition, the nanosystem at the lowest concentration, 8 μg/mL, was not cytotoxic within 48 hours.

Dans une seconde partie, un modèle d'évolution appliqué aux galaxies elliptiques, où la formation d'étoiles massives est renforcée en début d'évolution est développé, qui permet d'expliquer conjointement les observations à l'échelle des amas et à l'échelle des galaxies mêmes; les supernovae de type II produisant simultanément le fer et l'énergie thermique à l'origine de son éjection hors des galaxies. Dans une troisième et dernière partie, nous présentons une méthode de détermination de la masse, et de la distribution, du gaz intra-amas et de la masse totale ("matière noire" comprise) à partir des données X (spectroscopie globale et imagerie détaillée), puis l'appliquons à un amas particulier : A2163, dont les propriétés extrêmes (amas le plus chaud et le plus massif connu) ont des conséquences importantes sur les modèles cosmologiques.

Hamborg, Graham. "Interpretation of the reasons for judgment in Amos 2.6-16 in the redactional compositions underlying the Amos-text." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2009. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/10859/.
Full textAbstract:
This redaction-critical study interprets the reasons for judgment in Amos 2.6-16 in the literary context of each of the redactional compositions which, I argue, underlie the Amos-text. It is proposed that the Amos-text is both a theological work and a tractate of social criticism. In the earlier redactional compositions the dominant reasons for judgment concern mistreatment of the weak. In the later redactional compositions these are overshadowed, in terms of length of text, by more theological reasons for judgment; however, these strengthen, rather than weaken, the force of the older reasons for judgment. After an introductory first chapter, Chapter 2 describes and defends the methodology employed, and establishes the terminology of “composition” and “redactional composition”. Chapter 3 makes proposals concerning the compositional history of the Amos-text, attributing each unit to one of four redactional compositions. This chapter builds on the significant works of Hans W Wolff and Jörg Jeremias, following one or both of them at many points. Chapter 4 then describes the structural, linguistic and thematic coherence of each redactional composition in order to confirm the likelihood of its existence, and to note perspectives or significant themes relevant to the interpretation of the whole composition, including 2.6-16. Chapter 5 addresses two issues pertinent to the interpretation of Amos 2.6-16. Firstly, the relationship of Amos 2.8 to verses in the so-called Book of the Covenant is explored in the light of current scholarly views concerning its dating; its relationship to verses in Deuteronomy 24 is also considered. Secondly, the question of whether 2.10-12 exhibits Deuteronomistic influence is examined. Chapter 6 then conducts an exegesis of Amos 2.6-16 in each of the redactional compositions underlying the Amos-text, with particular attention paid to the reasons for judgment. The final chapter summarises the argument, draws conclusions, and notes possible areas of future study.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse s’intéresse à la structure et à la dynamique des amas ouverts et globulaires de la Galaxie, avec une extension aux systèmes d’amas stellaires extragalactiques. Il s’agit de mieux comprendre les processus qui régissent l’évolution des amas stellaires, en particulier en tenant compte des effets produits sur ceux-ci par le potentiel de leur galaxie hôte, c’est-à-dire les effets de marées. La détection de ces phénomènes, qui modifient la structure spatiale individuelle des amas stellaires et les propriétés d’un système d’amas dans son ensemble, requiert notamment des observations photométriques multi-bandes et à grand champ. Des amas ouverts proches ont été étudiés sur des paires de plaques de Schmidt digitalisées. Après sélection des membres probables des amas dans les diagrammes couleur-magnitude obtenus, une transformée en ondelettes a permis d’étudier la structure spatiale des amas. Des extensions attribuées aux effets de marée – par comparaison à des simulations de l’attraction du Bulbe et du choc discal – ont été décelées dans chacun d’eux. Pour l’étude d’objets plus lointains, il fallait compléter les données existantes par des observations photométriques profondes avec des mosaïques de CCDs. Nous avons ainsi pu déceler des queues de marée autour de plusieurs amas stellaires binaires du Grand Nuage de Magellan. Enfin, nous avons étendu ce travail à l’étude de systèmes d’amas stellaires en dehors du Groupe Local, en observant l’amas Fornax et des groupes compacts de galaxie notamment pour y détecter des amas stellaires « vagabonds », éjectés dans le milieu intergalactique. Ces observations, comparées à des simulations de systèmes d’amas d’étoiles peuvent apporter des contraintes sur les scénarios de formation et d’évolution des galaxies, en même temps qu’éclairer l’origine des diverses populations stellairesThe subject of the thesis is the structure and dynamics of open and globular clusters in the Galaxy, as well as extragalactic star cluster systems. The aim is to better understand the processes controlling the evolution of stellar clusters, in particular when one takes into account tidal effects which disturb the spatial structure of individual star clusters and the overall distribution of the objects around their host galaxy. For resolved clusters, the detection of tidal tails requires multi-band, wide-field observations. Nearby open clusters were studied on digitized Schmidt plates. Once selected the probable cluster members in the colour-magnitude diagrams, a wavelet transform was used to reveal the shape of the clusters. The tidal extensions detected have been compared to the results of numerical simulations (Bulge attraction and Disk shocking). For the study of more distant objects, deeper images obtained from large format CCDs were needed. They allowed us to discover tidal tails around several binary but also isolated star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Finally, we have started to extend this work to the study of star cluster systems beyond the Local Group. In particular, we observed the Fornax cluster of galaxies and the compact group HCG 90 in order to detect wanderer globular clusters, ejected into the intergalactic space by strong dynamical phenomena occurring between galaxies. These new observations will be compared to numerical simulations of star cluster systems within groups of galaxies. This will bring interesting clues on the formation and evolution galaxies, as well as give new insights in the origin of various stellar populations

A sociedade israelense passou por modificações, em especial, na década de 70 que levaram a mudanças políticas e sociais. O escritor Amós Oz, um dos mais destacados do país, aborda em seus textos ficcionais e não ficcionais, as mudanças e alterações refletidas no país. Este trabalho pretende estudar as modificações da década em questão, conforme apresentadas no romance A Caixa Preta de Amós Oz e para isto, são aqui desenvolvidos os seguintes temas: A busca pela identidade nacional, o confronto entre a direita e a esquerda dento do sistema político israelense, o levantamento das semelhanças entre o Estado que busca redefinir sua identidade e o movimento sionista, que procura reencontrar seus objetivos uma vez que o Estado tornou-se realidade, a posição da esquerda israelense e as concepções do grupo pacifista Shalom Achshav, a atuação da direita israelense e a militância do grupo nacionalista Gush Emunim, as diferentes ondas imigratórias para Israel antes e após a proclamação da independência e a absorção das diferentes comunidades de imigrantes, o início dos conflitos étnicos entre as diversas comunidades que formam o mosaico social israelense. Uma análise do livro A Caixa Preta, mostrando como os conflitos étnicos, religiosos e políticos se refletem na obra de Amós Oz, assim como a análise dos personagens e seus comportamentos indicando a ligação entre ficção e realidade no cotidiano israelense completam a segunda parte desta dissertaçãoThe israeli society has gone through some moves, specially on the seventies, that led to political and social changes. The author Amós Oz, a remarkable one in the country, has written in his fictional and non-fictional works about those innovations reflected in the country. This work intends to study the changes in the period above, as shown in the novel Kufsa Chhora (The Black Box) from Amós Oz. Therefore, these themes are here developed: The search for national identity, the confrontation between right and left in the israeli political system, the collecting of the simmilarities between the State, redefining its identity and the sionist movement, that is reshaping its objectives, once the State became a reality, the position of the israeli left wing and the conceptions of the pacifist group Shalom Achshav, the position of the israeli right wing and the militanty of the nacionalistic group Gush Emunim, the different immigratory waves to Israel before and after the proclamation of the State and the absorption of the different communities of immigrants, the beggining of ethnical conflicts among the several communities, which from the israeli social mosaic. We have, here, too, an analisis of the book Kufsa Chhora (The Black Box) showing how ethnical, religious and political conflicts reflect in Amós Ozs work, as well as an analisis of the characters and their behavior to show the liaison between fiction and reality in Israels routine.

The Amis tribe is the largest of Taiwan's nine indigenous tribes. The Harvest Festival is their biggest event each year. Many scholars have written about the folk songs of the aborigines and about the aborigines in general, but very little about the Amis Harvest Festival and its music in particular. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Harvest Festival of the Amis people, including the core of the Festival: their singing and dancing. Given that the Amis Harvest Festival has essentially changed from what was once a ceremonial event that focused on warrior training, to an event that now focuses on entertainment and competition, the purpose of my thesis is to examine the Harvest Festival and its music during the late 1990's, and to document significant influences that have effected changes to the Harvest Festival, as well as the effect those changes have had on the Amis people.xiv, 202 leaves

Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit ist das am Institut für Kern- und Teilchenphysik der Technischen Universität Dresden entwickelte Monte-Carlo-Strahlungstransportprogramm AMOS für Photonen und Elektronen um einen neuartigen Transportalgorithmus für Neutronen erweitert worden. Für die Modellierung der Wechselwirkungsprozesse werden evaluierte Wirkungsquerschnittsdaten im ENDF-Format verwendet, welche mit einer eigens dafür entwickelten Anwendung für eine effiziente Simulation aufbereitet worden sind. Für eine schnelle Simulation mit hoher Genauigkeit werden die Wirkungsquerschnitte über eine empirisch bestimmte hochaufgelöste Gruppenstruktur gemittelt. Die differentiellen Wirkungsquerschnitte werden für den Transportalgorithmus ins Laborsystem transformiert und linear interpoliert.
Das erarbeitete Neutronentransportmodul ist anhand mehrerer Beispielrechnungen getestet und verifiziert worden. Im Vergleich mit vorhandenen Strahlungstransportprogrammen erreicht es bei gleicher Genauigkeit eine deutlich höhere Geschwindigkeit. Sowohl das Programm zur Aufbereitung der Daten als auch der Transportalgorithmus sind im Rahmen dieser Arbeit konzipiert und implementiert worden. Die gute Übereinstimmung der Ergebnisse zeigt, dass das entwickelte Programmsystem eine vollwertige Alternative zu den vorhandenen Lösungen darstellt.

Full textAbstract:
Temperature fluctuations in the atmosphere severely limit the angular resolution of earth bound observation facilities to around 1 arcsecond. This corresponds to an effective, coherent, aperture size of 10 cm even though the telescope may have a 2-4 m primary mirror. Understanding the spatial and temporal distribution of atmospheric optical turbulence is essential to maximize the performance of large astronomical telescopes. This thesis made use of a 5 KHz high frequency, short range Doppler acoustic sounder to investigate the first 100 meters of the mountain boundary layer turbulence above the Air Force Maui Observation Site, AMOS, Haleakala, Hi. These measurements were part of a coordinated site evaluation for a proposed 4 m telescope to be built at AMOS in the near future. Tentative results revealed significant layering, 15-20 m and occasionally thicker, in the turbulent surface layers above AMOS. Additionally, a comparison of two proposed construction sites near the top of Haleakala showed that the turbulent surface layer tends to follow the contours of the mountain.

This dissertation investigates two case-related phenomena: aspect-conditioned differential subject case marking and overt case-stacking, and why case morphology on a DP may correlate with movement of a DP. Guided by data from Amis (Formosan, Austronesian), I argue that case assignment may apply to a single DP more than once and case-stacking is overt realisation of multiple case assignment. In Amis, a DP surfaces with all the cases it has been assigned when it is a contrastive topic. Moreover, Amis provides strong evidence for treating case-stacking truly as stacking of multiple cases, instead of stacking a focus marker on top of a case marker. In addition, I propose that case morphology and whether a DP can undergo certain type of movement are both mediated by [phi]-agreement. In particular, each successful [phi]-agreement with a DP introduces to the DP a K(ase), a structural correlate of morphological case. This is based on the behaviour of subjects of perfective clauses. Subjects of perfective clauses receive genitive case in a neutral context but appear with an additional nominative case when they are contrastive topics. Moreover, there are more restrictions on moving these subjects, compared with nominative-marked subjects of imperfective clauses. I posit that subjects of perfective clauses become [phi]-defective as a result of agreeing with perfective Asp(ect). This is manifested in one less case assignment, which results in genitive case on the surface, and inability to be attracted by certain complex A/Ā-movement probes.

Olivares, Romero Javier. "Modélisation hiérarchique bayésienne des amas stellaires jeunes." Thesis, Université Grenoble Alpes (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017GREAY071/document.
Full textAbstract:
Il semble maintenant établi que la majorité des étoiles se forment dans des amas (Carpenter 2000; Porras et al. 2003; Lada & Lada 2003). Comprendre l'origine et l'évolution des populations stellaires est donc l'un des plus grands défis de l'astrophysique moderne. Malheureusement, moins d'un dixième de ces amas restent gravitationellement liés au delà de quelques centaines de millions d'années (Lada & Lada 2003). L’étude des amas stellaires doit donc se faire avant leur dissolution dans la galaxie.Le projet Dynamical Analysis of Nearby Clusters (DANCe, Bouy et al. 2013), dont le travail fait partie, fournit le cadre scientifique pour l'analyse des amas proches et jeunes (NYC) dans le voisinage solaire. Les observations de l'amas ouvert des Pléiades par le projet DANCe offrent une opportunité parfaite pour le développement d'outils statistiques visant à analyser les premières phases de l'évolution des amas.L'outil statistique développé ici est un système intelligent probabiliste qui effectue une inférence bayésienne des paramètres régissant les fonctions de densité de probabilité (PDF) de la population de l'amas (PDFCP). Il a été testé avec les données photométriques et astrométriques des Pléiades du relevé DANCe. Pour éviter la subjectivité de ces choix des priors, le système intelligent les établit en utilisant l'approche hiérarchique bayésienne (BHM). Dans ce cas, les paramètres de ces distributions, qui sont également déduits des données, proviennent d'autres distributions de manière hiérarchique.Dans ce système intelligent BHM, les vraies valeurs du PDFCP sont spécifiées par des relations stochastiques et déterministes représentatives de notre connaissance des paramètres physiques de l'amas. Pour effectuer l'inférence paramétrique, la vraisemblance (compte tenu de ces valeurs réelles), tient en compte des propriétés de l'ensemble de données, en particulier son hétéroscédasticité et des objects avec des valeurs manquantes.Le BHM obtient les PDF postérieures des paramètres dans les PDFCP, en particulier celles des distributions spatiales, de mouvements propres et de luminosité, qui sont les objectifs scientifiques finaux du projet DANCe. Dans le BHM, chaque étoile du catalogue contribue aux PDF des paramètres de l'amas proportionnellement à sa probabilité d'appartenance. Ainsi, les PDFCP sont exempts de biais d'échantillonnage résultant de sélections tronquées au-dessus d'un seuil de probabilité défini plus ou moins arbitrairement.Comme produit additionnel, le BHM fournit également les PDF de la probabilité d'appartenance à l'amas pour chaque étoile du catalogue d'entrée, qui permettent d'identifier les membres probables de l'amas, et les contaminants probables du champ. La méthode a été testée avec succès sur des ensembles de données synthétiques (avec une aire sous la courbe ROC de 0,99), ce qui a permis d'estimer un taux de contamination pour les PDFCP de seulement 5,8 %.Ces nouvelles méthodes permettent d'obtenir et/ou de confirmer des résultats importants sur les propriétés astrophysiques de l'amas des Pléiades. Tout d'abord, le BHM a découvert 200 nouveaux candidats membres, qui représentent 10% de la population totale de l'amas. Les résultats sont en excellent accord (99,6% des 100 000 objets dans l'ensemble de données) avec les résultats précédents trouvés dans la littérature, ce qui fournit une validation externe importante de la méthode. Enfin, la distribution de masse des systèmes actuelle (PDSMD) est en général en bon accord avec les résultats précédents de Bouy et al. 2015, mais présente l'avantage inestimable d'avoir des incertitudes beaucoup plus robustes que celles des méthodes précédentes.Ainsi, en améliorant la modélisation de l'ensemble de données et en éliminant les restrictions inutiles ou les hypothèses simplificatrices, le nouveau système intelligent, développé et testé dans le présent travail, représente l'état de l'art pour l'analyse statistique des populations de NYCThe origin and evolution of stellar populations is one of the greatest challenges in modern astrophysics. It is known that the majority of the stars has its origin in stellar clusters (Carpenter 2000; Porras et al. 2003; Lada & Lada 2003). However, only less than one tenth of these clusters remains bounded after the first few hundred million years (Lada & Lada 2003). Ergo, the understanding of the origin and evolution of stars demands meticulous analyses of stellar clusters in these crucial ages.The project Dynamical Analysis of Nearby Clusters (DANCe, Bouy et al. 2013), from which the present work is part of, provides the scientific framework for the analysis of Nearby Young Clusters (NYC) in the solar neighbourhood (< 500 pc). The DANCe carefully designed observations of the well known Pleiades cluster provide the perfect case study for the development and testing of statistical tools aiming at the analysis of the early phases of cluster evolution.The statistical tool developed here is a probabilistic intelligent system that performs Bayesian inference for the parameters governing the probability density functions (PDFs) of the cluster population (PDFCP). It has been benchmarked with the Pleiades photometric and astrometric data of the DANCe survey. As any Bayesian framework, it requires the setting up of priors. To avoid the subjectivity of these, the intelligent system establish them using the Bayesian Hierarchical Model (BHM) approach. In it, the parameters of prior distributions, which are also inferred from the data, are drawn from other distributions in a hierarchical way.In this BHM intelligent system, the true values of the PDFCP are specified by stochastic and deterministic relations representing the state of knowledge of the NYC. To perform the parametric inference, the likelihood of the data, given these true values, accounts for the properties of the data set, especially its heteroscedasticity and missing value objects. By properly accounting for these properties, the intelligent system: i) Increases the size of the data set, with respect to previous studies working exclusively on fully observed objects, and ii) Avoids biases associated to fully observed data sets, and restrictions to low-uncertainty objects (sigma-clipping procedures).The BHM returns the posterior PDFs of the parameters in the PDFCPs, particularly of the spatial, proper motions and luminosity distributions. In the BHM each object in the data set contributes to the PDFs of the parameters proportionally to its likelihood. Thus, the PDFCPs are free of biases resulting from typical high membership probability selections (sampling bias).As a by-product, the BHM also gives the PDFs of the cluster membership probability for each object in the data set. These PDFs together with an optimal probability classification threshold, which is obtained from synthetic data sets, allow the classification of objects into cluster and field populations. This by-product classifier shows excellent results when applied on synthetic data sets (with an area under the ROC curve of 0.99). From the analysis of synthetic data sets, the expected value of the contamination rate for the PDFCPs is 5.8 ± 0.2%.The following are the most important astrophysical results of the BHM applied tothe Pleiades cluster. First, used as a classifier, it finds ∼ 200 new candidate members, representing 10% new discoveries. Nevertheless, it shows outstanding agreement (99.6% of the 105 objects in the data set) with previous results from the literature. Second, the derived present day system mass distribution (PDSMD) is in general agreement with the previous results of Bouy et al. (2015).Thus, by better modelling the data set and eliminating unnecessary restrictions to it, the new intelligent system, developed and tested in the present work, represents the state of the art for the statistical analysis of NYC populations

Dans cette these, on s’interesse a une marche aleatoire simple sur un amas infini issu d’un processus de percolation surcritique sur les aretes de Zd (d ≥ 2) de loi Q. On etudie des transformees de Laplace de certaines fonctionnelles des temps locaux de cette marche. Dans une premiere partie, on s’interesse au cas particulier de la transformee de Laplace du nombre de points visites au temps n, note Nn. On montre notamment que cette quantite a un comportement similaire au cas ou la marche evolue dans Zd. Plus precisement, on etablit que pour tout 0 < α < 1, il existe des constantes Ci, Cs > 0 telles que pour presque toute realisation de la percolation telle que l’origine appartienne a l’amas infini et pour n assez grand, e−Cin d/d+2≤E[oméga]0 (αNn) ≤e−Csndd+2. Dans une seconde partie, on generalise ce type d’estimees pour d’autres fonctionnelles. Dans ce type de probleme, le point principal du travail reside dans l’obtention de la borne superieure. Notre approche consiste dans un premier temps, a trouver une famille d’inegalite isoperimetrique sur l’amas infini, et dans un deuxieme temps a la remonter sur un produit en couronne, ce qui nous permet alors d’obtenir une majoration de la probabilite de retour d’une certaine marche sur ce produit en couronne. L’introduction d’un produit en couronne est justement motivee par le fait que la probabilit´e de retour sur un tel graphe peut s’interpreter comme l’esperance de la transformee de Laplace de certaines fonctionnelles des temps locaux pour un bon choix des fibres. Enfin, dans la derniere partie, il est explique en detail et de maniere generale, en suivant la strat´egie d’A. Erschler, comment obtenir une inegalite isoperimetrique sur un produit en couronne de deux graphes a partir d’in´egalit´e isop´erim´etrique de chacun des deux graphesIn this thesis, we consider a simple random walk on the infinite cluster of the percolation model on the edges of Zd (d≥2) with law Q, in the surcritical case. We look at the Laplace transformation of some functional of local times of this walk. In the first part, we investigate the particular case of the Laplace transformation of the number of visited sites up to time n, called Nn. We prove that this quantity has the same behaviour as the random walk on Zd. More precisely, we show for all 0 <α< 1, there exists some constants Ci, Cs > 0 such that for almost all realisations of the percolation such that the origin belongs to the infinite cluster and for large enough n, e−Cin d d+2 ≤ E [oméga]0 (α Nn) ≤e−Csn d d+2. In the second part, we extend this kind of estimate for other functionals. For these problems, the main work is to get the upper bound. Our approach is based, first on finding an isoperimetric inequality on the infinite cluster and secondly to lift it on a wreath product, which enables us to get an upper bound of the return probability of a particular random walk on this wreath product. The introduction of a wreath product is motivated by the fact that the return probability on such graph is linked to the Laplace transform of some functional of the locals times for a good choice of the fibers. Finally, in the last part we explain with details and in a general case, following ideas of A. Erschler, how to get a isoperimetric inequality on a wreath product of two graphs from an isoperimetric inequality on each graphs

Full textAbstract:
Six novels of Martin Amis--The Rachel Papers, Dead Babies, Success, Money: A Suicide Note, London Fields, and The Information--are analyzed to determine to what extent they uphold moral standards traditional in Western society, particularly the categories of virtue that have descended from Aristotle and Aquinas. Thus the novels are analyzed in relation to what they show about the three theological virtues of faith, hope, and love, the cardinal virtues of prudence, temperance, courage, and justice, and the intellectual virtues of knowledge, art, skill, and understanding.
Nearly all of these virtues turn out to be important in varying degrees. Faith and hope are mocked, and courage is given incidental attention. The other virtues, however, are strongly upheld, including prudence and temperance, and particularly love, justice, and the intellectual virtues.
In the earlier novels, the protagonists understand love between adults egoistically, only as romance or sexual passion, with emphasis not on the welfare of the other but on getting what one wants. The need for parental love is upheld, however, with a clear understanding that its lack produces danger for the children and for society. The protagonists pity the weak, but have little understanding of love as self-sacrifice. Ego-based justice predominates as the primary motive—obtaining what the self thinks is deserved. The intellectual virtues then become servants of this self-centered justice rather than servants of others-centered love. Though the extreme results of this situation are decried, especially in Dead Babies, generally the protagonists do not realize the extent of their egoism and lack of love.
In London Fields and The Information, self-sacrifice, particularly for the sake of children, emerges, and what little hope there is is invested in family love. Love between adults is still largely justice-based, but there is some evidence that all the virtues, including justice and intellect, are subordinated to love, especially family love, love that considers the welfare of others.

Je présente dans cette thèse les résultats obtenus à partir de la collaboration Franco Américaine appelée le Dark energy American French Team/ French American DArk energy Team (DAFT/FADA). Le but de la collaboration DAFT/FADA est de mener à bien un sondage sur la tomographie par lentilles faibles de riches amas de galaxies compris entre les redshifts z=0.4 et z=0.9. Contrairement aux autres méthodes comme les supernovae ou les comptages d'amas de galaxies, la tomographie par lentilles faibles est purement basée sur la géométrie et ne dépend pas de la connaissance sur la physique des objets utilisés comme indicateurs de distance. De plus, la raison pour analyser les observations dans la direction des amas est que le signal de cisaillement est augmenté d'un facteur 10 par rapport aux galaxies de champs. Notre travail contiendra les résultats de 91 riches amas de galaxies provenant du HST combiné avec le travail sur des données sol pour obtenir des redshifts photométriques. Cette combinaison de redshifts photométriques et de tomographie avec lentilles minces nous permettra de contraindre les équations d'état avec l'énergie noire, ainsi que l'évolution des propriétés des amas avec le redshift. C'est dans ce cadre que, durant ma thèse, j'ai étudié le comportement et des composants des amas DAFT/FADAS eux-mêmes. Cela s'est traduit par une étude de la lumière diffuse contenue dans 10 amas ainsi qu'une étude dynamique sur une gamme de redshifts allant de z=0.4 _a z=0.8I present in this thesis the results obtained from the American French collaboration called the Dark energy American French Team/French American DArk energy Team (DAFT/FADA). The goal of the DAFT/FADA collaboration is to carry out a weak lensing tomography survey of z = 0.4-0.9 rich clusters of galaxies. Unlike supernovae or other methods such as cluster of galaxy counts, weak lensing tomography is purely based on geometry and does not depend on knowledge of the physics of the objects used as distance indicators. In addition, the reason for analyzing observations in the direction of clusters is that the shear signal is enhanced by about 10 over the feld. Our work will contain results obtained on 91 rich clusters from the HST archive combined with ground based work to obtain photo-zs. This combination of photo-z and weak lensing tomography will enable us to constrain the equation of state of dark energy, and the cluster properties evolution with redshift. In this framework, during my PhD, I studied the behaviour and the comnents of the DAFT/FADAS clusters themselves. More precisely, I studied the difuse light contained within 10 clusters of the syrvey as well as their dynamical behaviour on a range of redshifts between z=0.4 and 0.8. indeed, The galaxy clusters themselves are still an important feld of study nowadays, mainly due to the fact they are the largest, at least partially virialized, structures we can observe, allowing us to better understand the history and evolution of our Universe. I present here the latest results obtained so far in my work on the DAFT/FADAS survey

Full textAbstract:
This thesis evaluates and re-evaluates the relationship between the works of Philip Larkin, Kingsley Amis and Martin Amis through a detailed examination of their published works, and attempts to locate this relationship in the context of the central moral uncertainties of post-1945 British fiction. Most previous critical studies of these authors have tended to discuss the relationship between Kingsley Amis and Martin Amis in terms of an opposition between the father's realism and the son's postmodernism, and have debated Philip Larkin's influence upon Martin Amis only tangentially. Against this trend, this thesis argues that these three authors share a commitment to literature as a public, moral act, and, in particular, that their works share the intention of articulating a number of closely related secular 'human values' which map out a potential post-Christian morality in British society. The thesis also examines a common tension within their oeuvres inimical to such hopes - the fear that the possibilities of rational self-scrutiny and of becoming 'less deceived' have been discredited by the history of the twentieth century, and that this history instead evidences the dominance of irrational and self-destructive tendencies in the human. These fears, it is further claimed, are implicated in the works of all three authors in a tendency towards the construction of Edenic myths, deterministic simplifications, and despairing devaluations of the value of human life. Overall, this thesis makes the case for the significance of the common concerns of Martin Amis, Kingsley Amis and Philip Larkin's works in the context of contemporary literary studies: their efforts to create in art an unpretentiously 'public space' for the address of burning moral and existential issues, and their unresolved struggles with the question of what it might mean to live a good life in a society which no longer possesses religion as a common moral language.

Full textAbstract:
Les amas de galaxies constituent un des outils majeurs de la cosmologie moderne. Une mesure de l'abondance de ces objets permet de caractériser les propriétés cosmologiques de l'Univers et l'analyse de leurs différentes propriétés physiques telles que la masse, la température ou la luminosité X du gaz intra-amas permet quant à elle de contraindre les modèles de formation et d'évolution de ces objets. Dans les deux cas, la grandeur fondamentale est la masse de l'amas de galaxies. Etre capable de les estimer de la manière la plus efficace et la plus précise possible est donc une nécessité. Le travail présenté ici s'inscrit dans cette optique : l'étude d'un échantillon représentatif d'amas de galaxies avec des masses déduites de deux analyses totalement différentes afin d'en augmenter la fiabilité. Cette thèse met l'accent sur la méthode qui utilise les effets de lentilles gravitationnelles prédits par la théorie de la Relativité Générale. L'analyse d'images optiques grand champ des amas a constitué la plus grande partie de ce travail : sélection des galaxies lentillées, estimation de leur forme, mesure du signal de cisaillement gravitationnel et reconstruction de la masse. Chaque étape du processus s'accompagne d'erreurs et de limitations qui ont été mises en lumière, en particulier celles attribuées à la distance importante de l'échantillon d'amas. L'étude de celui-ci du point de vue statistique a permis de caractériser ce qu'on appelle les lois d'échelle. Ces relations entre les différentes grandeurs des amas permettent d'étudier les modèles de formation des structures et constituent l'outil nécessaire à une utilisation des amas comme contrainte cosmologique. Leur étalonnage nécessite donc une estimation robuste des masses. Celles déduites de l'analyse des effets de lentilles gravitationnelles ont ainsi été comparées avec les résultats de la seconde méthode basée sur l'émission X du gaz intra-amas. Pour 7 des 11 amas de l'échantillon, les masses estimées sont compatibles ce qui augmente leur crédibilité. Pour les autres cas, les différences observées mettent en lumière les limitations intrinsèques à chaque méthode, en particulier les effets de projection et l'état dynamique de l'amas. Les résultats obtenus sur la calibration des lois d'échelles sont quant à eux en bon accord avec une grande partie des autres travaux du même type, notamment sur des amas plus proches. En particulier, la présence de processus physiques non gravitationnels est mise en évidence, à la fois sur les propriétés du gaz et celles de la population des galaxies de l'amas.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the present thesis is to investigate rhetorical features of the Book of Amos with a view to identifying the message and meaning intended by the prophet Amos in his authentic passages. The purpose is not only to identify the prophet's rhetorical goal in his ' rhetorical situation', but also ultimately to explicate the meaning of his message in his historical situation. In examining its rhetorical features, the rhetorical analysis of the present thesis attempts to clarify how the prophet Amos fabricated the text in rhetorical structures and how he built up his rhetoric to convey his message in the book. In the introduction, the thesis investigates the types of rhetorical-critical discipline which also illustrate the history of rhetorical criticism. It also raises problems in the rhetorical-critical disciplines of Old Testament studies and the Book of Amos. It suggests the four steps of rhetorical analysis as its method of approach. Those consist of the investigations of: 1) the rhetorical structures(syntactic and syntagmatic, and mimetic dimension), 2) literary functions (semantic dimension), 3) rhetorical functions ( ':Message-Analysis'; pragmatic dimension), and 4) rhetorical natures(syntactic and syntagmatic, linear compositional macro-structural dimension), in the rhetorical units of the book of Amos. It also suggests that the book is divided into the four literary/rhetorical units; chs.1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-9. In order to identify the message and meaning of the Book of Amos in his rhetorical and historical situation, the third and fourth steps investigate the prophet's rhetorical strategies through which he intended to pursue an effective conveying of his message in the Book of Amos. Of the two, the fourth step, in particular, attempts to identify how Amos designed the sections and subsections to perform rhetorical functions in the macro-structure of the book, and how he fabricated the text with the elements, according to their 'rhetorical natures' in the text, i.e., 'rhetorical sections' and 'message-sections.' For this purpose, chapter 2 of the thesis establishes the criteria through verifying their validity in the Minor Prophets. The thesis demonstrates, through the four-step rhetorical analysis, that chs.5-6 are designed to function as the 'message-section' of the book on which Amos intended to lay more emphasis than on other sections in formulating his message. The three other sections, chs. 1-2, 3-4, 7-9, are designed to function as the ' rhetorical sections', which are used for forming the framework of his rhetoric in the pursuit of the effective conveying of his message. The thesis suggests that the prophet pursued his rhetorical goal in resolving or modifying the historical exigence of social disorder caused by the perversion of justice in which his prophetic task emerged. Hence, it proposes as its conclusion that, in performing his prophetic task to deliver the message through drawing a rhetorical impact upon the audience in the pragmatic dimension. he encouraged the audience to take action for the resolution or modification of the historical exigence in his historical rhetorical situation, particularly by giving the exhortations to justice as 'the primary Message' (5:4-6, 14-15, and 24) in 'the message-section' (chs.5-6).

Thesis (DTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2003ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The issue of the identification of the audience/s of the final chapter (chapter 9) in the book of Amos is currently moot. That is, there currently are as many opinions as there are scholars who have in some form or the other made some inference as to the identification of the audience. The same is true for the preceding chapters in the book. The reasons for the divergence in opinions as to the identification of the audience varies from the methods chosen for engaging the text to reasons that are not always easy to identify. Yet the opinions are often freel y shared in the monographs, commentaries, dissertations and scholarly journal articles. This dissertation aims to follow an approach that is more interpretatively accountable and responsible in dealing with the identification of the audience/s of Amos and in particular chapter 9. This goal is best achieved by interacting with the scholars as they have recorded their findings in the various scholarly publications while engaging the text with a suitable method. The method chosen by this study for achieving the intended purpose is the multidimensional approach of Vernon Robbins, termed socio-rhetorical criticism. This approach aids in the study of the text by uncovering the various "textures" of the text. These textures are identified by Robbins as innertexture, intertexture, social and cultural texture, ideological texture and sacred texture. As socio-rhetorical criticism does not overtly take into account the influence of the reader in the production of the meaning of the text and how this influences interpretative results, it would be necessary to investigate how to incorporate the influence of reader-response methodology to make the results more responsible and accountable. The majority of scholarly opinion sees at least three possible audiences identifiable within the book of Amos. These audiences are identified as eighth, seventh and sixth century in setting. Yet the reasons for such identification is often not clear and greatly debated. Differences in opinion have often resulted in religious questions being raised regarding the authority and intention of the text should these various audience identifications be accurate. This study seeks to understand and identify the main influences that determines the conclusions on various audience identification and present an approach that would be more suitable to answer the question more clearly. The particular influence that this study demonstrates is the reinvention of texts by identifying the layers of reinterpretation contained in the text by identifying its implied audience/so It is this identification that allows the text to be applied to current readers as they identify with the process of reinvention and ethically accountable interpretation.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Daar bestaan op die oomblik geen finale beslissing aangaande die identiteit van die toehoorders van die finale hoofstuk van die boek van Amos nie Met ander woorde, daar is op die oomblik so veel opinies as wat daar kenners is wie op een of ander manier gevolgtrekkings aangaande die identiteit van die toehoorders van die boek gemaak het. Redes aangaande die verskillende opinies om die identiteit van toehoorders vas te stel wissel van die metodes gekies om die teks te bestudeer tot redes wat rue al te maklik is om te identifiseer nie. Maar gevolgtrekkings word openbaarlik in monografiee, kommentare, proefskrifte en akademiese artikels aangaande die boek gepubliseer. Hierdie proefskrif stel as doel om 'n metode van studie te volg wat meer verantwoordelik en verantwoordbaar is ten opsigte van die identifikasie van die lesers van die boek Amos en in besonder aangaande hoofstuk 9. Hierdie doel sal ten beste bereik word deur saam met die kenners te debateer soos hulle opinies vasgele is in publikasies en terwyl die teks bestudeer word. Die metode wat hierdie studie gaan gebruik, is die multidimensionele benadering van Vernon Robbins, sosio-retoriese kritiek. Hierdie metode benader die teks deur die verskillende teksture van die teks te ontbloot. Hierdie teksture is deur Robbins verduidelik as intertekstuur, intratekstuur, sosiale en kulturele tekstuur, ideologiese tekstuur en teologiese tekstuur. Omdat sosiale-retoriese kritiek nie duidelik die invloed van die leser in ag neem wanneer dit die produksie van die bedoeling van die teks betrek, sal dit vir hierdie studie nodig wees om hierdie invloed deur leser-respons kritiek te benader. Die doel hiermee sal wees om die resultate van die studie meer eties verantwoordbaar en verantwoordelik te maak. Die meeste kenners bevestig ten minste drie toehoorders in die boek van Amos. Hierdie toehoorders word geidentifiseer in agtergrond as agste, sewende en sesde eeu. Maar soos alreeds gestel, die redes vir hierdie identifikasie is altyd nie duidelik nie. Verskille in opinies het soms daartoe gely dat teologiese vrae aangaande die outoriteit en doel van die teks gevra is sou die identifikasie van verskillende toehoorders waar wees. Hierdie studie stel ten doel om die verskillende aspekte wat die gevolgtrekkinge beinvloed aangaande die identifikasie van toehoorders te identifiseer en 'n benadering te volg wat meer geskik is om die vraag beter te kan beantwoord. Hierdie studie demonstreer dus dat die interpretasie van die teks deur die verskillende lesers bepaal kan word deur die teks te bestudeer vanuit die oogpunt van die verskillende interpretasie binne die teks. Dit is hierdie identifikasie wat die toepassing van die teks moontlik maak vir huidige lesers soos hulle identifiseer met die proses van die herinterpretasie en etiese verantwoordelike interpretasie van die teks.
