Introduction -- Language from a systemic functional perspective -- Social networks: a review of literature relevant to the Scotland Island study -- Methodology -- Analysing relational ties: a social network perspective -- A systemic functional approach to analysing social reality -- Discussion and conclusion.
This research is concerned with the study of language and the social order. Working within the systemic functional theory of language, and utilising the concept of a social network to model the social order, the primary aim is to put on display the relationship between the linguistic system and social order, between language and culture. Systemic functional grammar (Halliday, 1995; Halliday and Hasasn, 1985/9; Halliday and Matthiesen, 1997; Eggins and Slade 1997), with its emphasis on language as a social semiotic, is used to analyse the language used by a group of four women engaged in casual conversation in a small Australian island community. Here the analysis reveals how the women negotiate their social reality when speaking to each other. It shows how their social relations are shaped within a text (Hasan, 1996), and explores the notion that, despite the seemingly trivial, unconscious nature of casual interactions, power and solidarity are continually being negotiated by the participants (Halliday, 1994; Eggins and Slade, 1997). More specifically, this research examines the notion that through lexico-grammatical and semantic selections participants are able to negotiate dominant positions in interaction. Social Network analysis has been used to examine the relationship between the individual and the group. It offers a quantifiable analytical tool for describing the character of an individual's everyday social relationships (Milroy, 1987). A social network analysis is used in the present study to map the social relationships in the tight-knit network, or speech fellowship, of these women (creating a map of the context of situation in SFL terminology). Change in the social relationships and language choices is modeled by revisiting the participants 15 months later in a contextually similar environment and re-analysing the network and linguistic options. Systemic functional linguistics is then used to highlight the interdependency of language and social order. Through systematic accounts of language and the context in which it is embedded this reciprocal nature is displayed and language and social order can be seen, not as two distinct entities, but rather as one phenomena seen from two different perspectives (Halliday, 1978; Mathiessen, 1993).

The primary purposes of this research were to 1) use the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)to assess Millennial generation wine consumers attitudes, perceived behavioral controls, and subjective norms related to purchasing wine in casual dining restaurants (CDR), and 2) use Conjoint Analysis (CA) to analyze Millennials’ preferences for wine information on the restaurant menu. An instrument was designed based on the TPB and CA and was sent online to 216 consumers using the database of a market research firm (e-rewards). Independent variables (attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms) were analyzed to predict behavioral intentions to purchase wine. Principal component analysis was combined with multiple linear regression to assess intention. Results identified attitudes and subjective norms as being significant in predicting behavioral intention, perceived behavioral controls was partially significant. Millennial’s believe ordering wine with their friends and family in casual dining restaurants will make them feel smart and sophisticated and will increase the enjoyment of food. However, they do not believe wine consumption is appropriate in CDR’s; they had strong perceptions that wine is purchased for special occasions and consumed in fine dining restaurants. Part II of the study employed conjoint analysis to determine Millennials preferences for wine information on the menu. Results indicated that Millennials prefer menus that provide wine/food pairing information, wine flavor descriptors located near food listings and quality wines at an affordable price. Millennials attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral controls support previous research that this generation is interested in wine and wine is a social experience that increases their enjoyment of food and time spent with their friends and family. Through the use of CA, the present study suggests wine information on the menu is important to this segment of consumers. Additional research should be conducted to understand the stereotypes this generation has about wine consumption in casual dining restaurants. These operators and owners should consider focusing their marketing efforts showing Millennials enjoying wine while celebrating special occasions with their friends and family. In addition, redeveloping menus in their operations to add wine information may increase interest in wine and generate profit.

Full textDen svenska integrationspolitiken har anklagats för att felaktigt riktas mot endast invandrare och på så sätt mer likna assimilationspolitik. I den här kandidatuppsatsen visar jag att forskare och politiker på en övergripande nivå verkar vara överens om hur integration bör uppnås. Om integration är motsatsen till assimilation måste ett integrerat samhälle uppnås genom ömsesidig anpassning. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att ta reda på om den svenska regeringen utformar sin integrationspolitik efter idén om integration som ömsesidig anpassning eller inte. Frameanalys används för att identifiera målgrupperna i den svenska strategin för integration. Genom att analysera valet av målgrupper drar jag slutsatsen att den svenska integrationspolitiken inte uppfyller idéen om integration som ömsesidig anpassning. En annan viktig slutsats är att det kan finnas två målgrupper för varje åtgärd, en knuten till orsaksförklaringen och en knuten till lösningen på problemet.

Full textThis work presents a generic formulation of vector-type for the parameterization of large rotations in three-dimensional space. This formulation adapts to the Euler and the Rodrigues parameterization. Special distinction is made to the here named generalized Rodrigues parameters which result in very simple and computationally efficient expressions. The attained formulation is convenient for numerical procedures employing Galerkin projection like the finite element method and can be readily implemented in a FE code. The expressions of rotation tensor and its derivatives, which lead to a consistent linearization, are herein derived. The necessary tensor quantities employed in the derivation of the tangent bilinear weak form of incremental analysis are obtained too. The weak forms are constructed here with both orthogonal and non-orthogonal projections, corresponding to the application of the virtual work theorem or virtual power theorem respectively. The formulation is implemented within a finite element code in total Lagrangian and updated Lagrangian framework and assessment of the scheme is made by means of several numerical simulations.

Full textYield prediction determines an essential competitive advantage in viticulture. There are many methods to predict the yield, being the one based on yield components the most used. Recently there have been many studies for the purpose of maximize prediction efficiency exploring the automated yield prediction with autonomous vehicles. This work aims to estimate the yield of two white varieties using the based on yield components method to evaluate their usefulness in image analysis. For this purpose, two samples of 30 vines of Alvarinho and Viosinho were selected to quantify their yield components during their cultural cycle of 2015. Despite Viosinho have been more productive, in a general way both varieties showed a spatial variability of the same magnitude order (C.V. between 10 and 40%), being the inflorescence number, the flower buds number and the cluster number the ones which showed a greater variability. After the elaboration of relationships between those yield components, three mathematical models were created to predict the production per vine, the cluster weight and the berry number. In the first model the inflorescence number allowed to explain about 78% of the variability of production per vine in Alvarinho, enabling an anticipation of the forecast compared to the model based on the cluster number. In the second model the cluster volume (Alvarinho) and the berry weight (Viosinho) explained practically all the variability of cluster weight (R2 = 99%), while in the third model the cluster weight explained most of the percentage of variability of the berry number (R2 = 95%) in both varieties. The pre-image analysis showed the existence of high correlated coefficients between the different measured variables, allowing to predict the use of this tool to estimate the yield components

The resurgence of interest in the use of nuclear technology for electrical power production has resulted in a desire to improve the existing licensing structure. Improving the licensing structure will result in reduced design time and cost for new reactor plants. An improved regulatory process is also necessary in order to license advanced reactors that are not light water technology. Risk based reactor licensing, which uses the Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) to justify most licensing questions, is a proposed replacement for the current methods. This work further develops the risk-based regulatory process by analyzing a portion of a new reactor concept. A reactor similar to the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) is the design chosen for the analyses. The designers of the PBMR assert that the reactor's inherently safe design justifies the use of a non-standard containment system. This assertion can be treated as a design question to be justified using the risk-based approach. The effect of the changing the containment system is incorporated into the PRA for the PBMR. The contributions to the event and fault trees of the PBMR are determined for two casualties that affect the plants decay heat removal system. The initiating event for both of these casualties is assumed to be a beyond design basis earthquake. The first casualty is steam blanketing of the reactor vessel due to a rupture in the Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS). This casualty is shown to have little effect on the safety of the plant. The second casualty was failure of the RCCS due to operator inaction. If this casualty were to occur the reactor vessel has the possibility of failing catastrophically. The failure of the reactor vessel could result in damage to the fuel and release of radionuclides. The probability of this casualty resulting in a significant release of radionuclides is 7.5-10-11 / year. For the two casualties evaluated in this work, the use of a non-standard containment is justified.

Full textThe Finite Element Method (FEM) is the numerical method most commonly used in structural analysis. A number of shell and plate finite elements has been suggested in the last decades. Finite element formulations deal well with the displacements field, but they usually lack tests that can validate the results obtained for the stress field. This work analyzes the finite element T6-3i, a six-nodes triangular finite element derived from a geometrically exact theory, regarding its stress results, comparing them with analytic plate theories, results from tables of moments in rectangular plates and from ANSYSr, a commercial software for structural analysis, showing that T6-3i can present unsatisfactory results. In the second part of this work, the T6-3i potentialities are expanded as a dynamic formulation for nonlinear shell analysis is proposed. An updated Lagrangian framework has been used and the weak form is obtained from the Principle of VirtualWork. Several numerical examples of folding a thin dome, which present various snap-throughs and snap-backs are presented, including creased shells, showing the robustness, simplicity and versatility of the element formulation and in generation of the unstructured curved meshes indispensable for the simulations.

Resumo: Este trabalho realiza uma análise numérica e experimental do comportamento de estruturas em cascas de formas livres sob a ação do vento. Inicialmente foram gerados modelos computacionais de formas otimizadas, sendo uma casca de planta pentagonal e outra hexagonal. Na sequência foram construídos modelos físicos reduzidos em laboratório e submetidos a uma série de ensaios em túnel de vento. E, finalmente foram realizadas simulações numéricas dessas estruturas submetidas à ação do vento utilizando o programa computacional ANSYS-CFX do Laboratório de Informática da FEC-UNICAMP. Os modelos físicos reduzidos analisados foram gerados utilizando o software ANSYS e o programa computacional desenvolvido por Vizotto (1993), e construídos no Laboratório de Automação e Prototipagem para Arquitetura e Construção (LaPAC) da FEC-UNICAMP, utilizando inicialmente isopor de alta densidade, que foi posteriormente empregado para execução de fôrmas de concreto armado para moldar os modelos finais em material composto por fibra de vidro e resina, para serem ensaiados no túnel de vento do Laboratório de Conforto Ambiental e Física Aplicada (LaCAF) da FEC-UNICAMP. Os testes no túnel de vento do LaCAF foram realizados em dezesseis fases, sendo compostas por análises para obtenção dos coeficientes de pressão externa e interna, com ventos em regime laminar e turbulento, a 0º e 36º para a casca com forma de planta pentagonal, e a 0º e 30º para a casca com forma de planta hexagonal. Para análises por meio de simulação fluidodinâmica computacional pelo ANSYS-CFX, foi realizada inicialmente uma análise comparativa para os resultados dos coeficientes de pressões externas de um modelo de cúpula sobre o terreno da NBR 6123:1988. O software ANSYS-CFX demonstrou ótima eficiência na configuração realizada, apresentando resultados muito próximos aos da norma brasileira, e essa configuração também foi utilizada na validação física entre os ensaios no túnel de vento e as simulações pelo ANSYS-CFX. É sugerida a utilização dos dados finais na elaboração de normas específicas e uma configuração adequada e segura dentro das características consideradas para a utilização do software ANSYS-CFX como ferramenta para obtenção de coeficientes de pressões
Abstract: This work performs a numerical and experimental analysis of behavior of structures in free form shells about wind action. At first, computational models were generated in optimized forms, being one shell of pentagonal shape and another one hexagonal. After this, reduced physical models were built in laboratory and subjected to several tests in the tunnel of wind. Finally, numerical analyzes of these structures subjected to wind action were achieved using ANSYS computational program from FEC-UNICAMP computer laboratory. Two reduced physical models were analyzed, using the software ANSYS and the computational program that was developed by VIZOTTO I. (1993), and built at the Laboratory of Automation and Prototyping for Architecture and Construction site (LaPAC) from FECUNICAMP. The techniques: one hexagonal and another pentagonal, both made, at first, with Styrofoam in large dense, that was applied to execution of forms of concrete to be sculptured and finalized as a material composed of glass fiber and resin for future test in the wind tunnel at (LaCAF) from FEC-UNICAMP Environmental Comfort and Applied Physics Laboratory. The tests at the wind tunnel from LaCAF were made into sixteen phases, composed by analysis to obtain the coefficients of outside and inside pressure with wind in turbulent and laminar state, at 0º and 30º for hexagonal shape and turbulent and laminar, at 0º and 36º for pentagonal shape. To analyze by simulation computational fluid dynamics by ANSYS-CFX, at first were achieved a comparative analysis to the results of coefficients of outside pressure from a model of dome on the land from NBR 6123:1980. The software ANSYS-CFX showed an excellent efficiency on the made configuration, showing results very closed to the Brazilian rule, and this configuration also was used in the physical validation between the tests at wind tunnel and the simulations by ANSYS-CFX. It is suggested the usage of final data on specific standard preparation and safe configuration for ANSYS software application as a tool to achieve pressure coefficients

Full textIn general, the Finite Element (FE) formulations available in the literature for the analysis of fibre reinforced laminated shells replace the original heterogeneous medium by an equivalent homogeneous one, which makes difficult the identification of fiber-matrix stress distribution, or require that the finite element mesh is arranged in a way that the fibre finite element nodes coincide with the shell finite element ones, which is a very restrictive requirement and increases the number of degrees of freedom of the resulting system of equations. In this sense, the objective of this thesis is to develop a formulation for the inclusion of long and random short fibres in any layer of FE laminated anisotropic shells developing large displacement and rotations without increasing the number of degrees of freedom and the necessity of matching nodes in the discretization of the fibre and the matrix. In this formulation, the triangular laminated shell finite element used to discretize the matrix has ten nodes and seven degrees of freedom per node, that are, three translations, three components of a generalized vector and the linear rate of strain variation along the thickness. The curved fibres, long or random short, are introduced in any layer of the laminate shell by means of kinematic relation to ensure its adherence to the matrix without introducing new degrees of freedom in the resulting system of equations. To discretize them, any order one-dimensional finite elements with three degrees of freedom per node are used. These fibres elements are consistently considered by Geometric nonlinearity. All involved variables are written with respect to the initial configuration of the body, characterizing the Total Lagrangian description. To model the behavior of the material we use the Saint-VenantKirchhoff Constitutive Law that relates linearly the second Piolla-Kirchhoff stress tensor and Green-Lagrange strain tensor. The equilibrium is achieved from the Principle of Minimum Potential Energy and the non-linear system of equations is solved by the Newton-Raphson iterative procedure. External loads may be introduced to the system by one or various steps and the contribution of fibres to the energy of the system is added to the global matrix of the problem. The numerical examples validate and demonstrate the potential of the proposed formulation.

The aim of this work is to investigate the interaction and modal coupling phenomena on the nonlinear vibrations of simply supported cylindrical shell subject to both harmonic axial and lateral loads. The equations of motion of the cylindrical shell are deduced from their energy functionals and the strain field is based on the nonlinear Donnell shallow shell theory. Finally, the problem is reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by the application of the standard Galerkin method. The modal expansion that describes the transverse displacement of the shell is obtained by applying perturbation techniques, which identifies the importance of each term in the modal expansion by the power of the perturbation parameter. The Karhunen-Loève method is applied in order to verify the importance of each term in the modal expansion, quantifying the contribution of each of these terms in the total energy of the system. The starting solution used in the perturbation procedure contains two modes of vibration with the same natural frequency and their respective companion modes, yielding a modal expansion able to describe the modal interaction between these two modes. Then, the influence of modal interaction on the nonlinear behavior of the cylindrical shell, subjected to both lateral and axial harmonic load is studied. From the analysis of the resonance curves, the parametric instability and escape boundaries, the bifurcation diagrams, the basins of attraction and phase portraits of the cylindrical shell is possible to identify situations in which the consideration of modal interaction is necessary.
Neste trabalho estudam-se as vibrações não lineares de cascas cilíndricas simplesmente apoiadas sujeitas a um carregamento lateral e a um carregamento axial, ambos harmônicos, com o objetivo de se analisar fenômenos como o acoplamento e a interação modal. As equações de movimento da casca cilíndrica são deduzidas a partir de seus funcionais de energia. O campo de deformações da casca cilíndrica é descrito com base na teoria não linear de Donnell para cascas esbeltas e o problema é reduzido a um sistema de equações diferenciais ordinárias não lineares a partir da aplicação do método de Galerkin. As expansões modais que descrevem o campo de deslocamento transversal da casca são obtidas através da aplicação do método da perturbação, que identifica a importância de cada termo da expansão modal a partir da potência do parâmetro de perturbação. O método de Karhunen-Loève é aplicado a fim de se verificar a importância de cada termo da expansão modal, quantificando a participação de cada um desses termos na energia total do sistema. Utilizam-se, como solução inicial do método da perturbação, dois modos de vibração com frequência natural igual e com seus respectivos companion modes, obtendo-se uma expansão modal capaz de descrever a interação modal entre esses dois modos. Em seguida, analisa-se a influência da interação modal no comportamento não linear da casca cilíndrica submetidas a cargas laterais e axiais harmônicas. A partir da análise das curvas de ressonância, das fronteiras de instabilidade paramétrica, dos diagramas de bifurcação, das bacias de atração e dos planosfase da casca cilíndrica é possível identificar em quais situações de carregamento a consideração da interação modal se faz necessária.

Taking as an object of literary text analysis that is place of representation of reality and at the same time considering it as a speech which builds on others, this work seeks to highlight the literary discourse as a constituent that talks to a variety of areas, including the socio-cultural reality. In this sense, this research highlights issues relating to representation of the literature that operated inside will bring up a dialogue between the discourse of Christian religion and the theme of the commodification of the sacred. The survey presents a study of the content contained in the poems of theological Luis Augusto Cassas, and discusses the relation this analysis of poems in the works identified search certain figures lining in the literary text of sacred thematic commoditization. For both the use of intertextual and interdiscursive process analysis based on the studies of Maingueneau (1993/2004) and Fiorin (1994/2008), the first which proposes the study of literary text from its heterogeneous and Dialogic Dynamics property of language, the second by proposing an analysis of phenomena that constitute the speeches, and the senses. We believe that this property of language and text to be produced in constant dialogue within the culture reveals the relationship of literary text with theological discourses, with theological texts, with religious discourse-oriented themes. We support theoretically in the studies of Brandão (2003/2008), Magalhães (2000/2008) and Barcellos (2001), from which we understand how Literature and theology connect long ago through the texts. Here, finally, as the sacred that is present in the poems of the human faces of Cassas represents in its relationship with the sacred and the profane and the new contemporaneously transformations within the religious culture, as this relationship of duality of man, often divided between God and world, the work of Cassas integrate, revealing a relationship between marketing true and holy man, an intense negotiation by grace, while making a set of human relations by the religious precepts of the market.
Tomando como objeto de análise o texto literário que é lugar de representação da realidade e ao mesmo tempo considerando-o como um discurso que se constrói em relação a outros, este trabalho busca ressaltar o discurso literário como constituinte que dialoga com diversas áreas, dentre as quais a da realidade sociocultural. Neste sentido, a presente pesquisa põe em destaque questões relativas à representação operadas no interior da literatura que trazem à tona um diálogo entre o discurso da religião cristã e o tema da mercatilização do sagrado. A pesquisa apresenta um estudo do conteúdo teológico contido em poemas de Luís Augusto Cassas, e discute as relações entre literatura e teologia configuradas nos poemas de dois de seus livros, Deus Mix: salmos energéticos de açaí com guaraná e Cassis e O shopping de Deus & a alma do negócio. Nesta análise dos poemas busca-se identificar nas obras determinadas figuras que revestem no texto literário a temática da mercantilização do sagrado. Para tanto nos utilizamos da análise de processos intertextuais e interdiscursivos tomando como base os estudos de Maingueneau (1993/2004) e Fiorin (1994/2008), o primeiro que propõe o estudo do texto literário a partir de sua propriedade dialógica e heterogênea da linguagem, o segundo por propor uma análise dos fenômenos que constituem os discursos, e os sentidos. Entendemos que esta propriedade da linguagem e do texto de ser produzida em diálogo constante dentro da cultura revela a relação do texto literário com discursos teológicos, com textos teológicos, com temáticas voltadas para o discurso religioso. Nos apoiamos teoricamente nos estudos de Brandão (2003/2008), Magalhães (2000/2008) e Barcellos (2001), a partir dos quais entendemos como Literatura e a Teologia se conectam há muito tempo através dos textos. Apresentamos, por fim, como o sagrado que se faz presente nos poemas de Cassas representa as faces do humano em sua relação com o sagrado e com o profano e as novas transformações ocorridas contemporaneamente no âmbito da cultura religiosa, como esta relação de dualidade do homem, muitas vezes dividido entre Deus e o mundo, na obra de Cassas se integram, revelando uma relação mercadológica entre o(a) fiel homem e o sagrado, numa intensa negociação pela graça, e ao mesmo tempo numa tomada do humano que configura as relações religiosas pelos preceitos do mercado.

Full textThe goal of this report is to characterize the bark of five industrially important forest species in Europe - Eucalyptus globulus, Betula pendula, Picea abies, Pinus sylvestris e Pinus pinea and to define their potential use as a source of value added chemical products. It was performed the anatomical characterization of bark tissues (dissociated elements), the selective fractionation (size distribution, characterization of particle shape, separation of density and determination of bulk density), the average of basic chemical composition and particle size of three reference fractions (ash, extractives, suberin, Klason lignin, acid soluble lignin, holocellulose and 1% NaOH extraction). The anatomical study shows that there is no differential separation of the cellular elements of the tissues of the bark in seven particle size fractions. The physical process of fractioning showed that, for all barks, over 50% of the mass of material consisted of coarse particles with 6 mm average diameter. On the other hand, there was no direct correlation between the values of bulk density and particle diameter. It has only been possible to separate the birch bark and scots pine by difference in density fluctuations in water. The mean values of the chemical composition brought out that the barks of softwood showed higher content of total extractives, lignin and yield of 1% NaOH extraction. Considering the three different particle size fractions, the fine fraction showed a higher content of ash, total extractives and 1% NaOH extraction. There was no significant change in the content of suberin and holocellulose.

Full textCircular cylindrical shells with small thickness variations along their body, when submitted to rotation, present, in some cases, elastic displacements of their outside surface induced by centrifugal forces leading to final oval like shapes. The main purpose of this study is to establish relationships between thickness variation of the cylindrical shells with their measured deformation during the rotation, due to centrifugal forces, using two approaches, one experimental and the other one numerical, in the latter case the finite element method (FEM). The studied cylindrical shells had their wall thickness measured by means of an ultrasound device. The used material is flake graphite cast iron (gray cast iron). The graphite flakes act as reflectors, what makes such measurements imprecise. The numerical results found are satisfactory in a qualitative way, but they disagree in the quantitative form. Shell models with theoretical imperfections also were created and analyzed using the finite element method in order to evaluate the behavior of the cylindrical shell under several configurations of distribution of the shell thickness variation. Further research is necessary on new technologies to measure the thickness of pieces manufactured of flake graphite cast iron. In this research, the oval shape measurements were done by means of eddy-current proximity sensors.

When solving an optimization problem, the extreme value of the performance metric of interest is calculated by tuning the values of the design variables. Some optimization problems involve shape change as one of the design variables. Change in shape leads to change in the boundary locations. This leads to a change in the domain definition and the boundary conditions. We consider a 1-D structural element, an elastic bar, for this study. Subsequently, we demonstrate a method for calculating the sensitivity of solution (e.g. displacement at a point) to change in the shape (length for 1-D case) of the elastic bar. These sensitivities, known as shape sensitivities, are critical for design optimization problems. We make use of continuum analytical shape sensitivity analysis to derive three variational formulations to compute these shape sensitivities. The accuracy and convergence of solutions is verified using a finite element analysis code. In future, the approach can be extended to multi-dimensional structural and fluid domain problems.
