Full textThe Hydrological Simulation Program - FORTRAN (HSPF) in its personal computer version, release 10.10, was used to perform the hydrological simulation of a sub-watershed of the Occoquan River drainage basin. The sub-watershed selected was the Cub Run Watershed located in the northern area of the Occoquan River catchment. A model in the form of a User Control Input (UCI) file was prepared. The Cub Run Watershed was analyzed considering its geological, edaphic and weather characteristics, and segmented accordingly. The model was calibrated to adjust simulated results to observed data. Several calibration runs were executed and a final run was done considering a further segmented watershed. The simulation results were good even when not all the desired data could be found. The annual percent difference between the best calibration run and the observed results was 21.28%. The ten-month percent difference, excluding June and July, was 5.82 %. The first value is a fair result for hydrologic calibration, the second value is an excellent result for the same type of calibration. Additional segmentation did not further improve the results obtained during the best calibration run. Differences in the calibration when considering just a pervious segment or two segments (one pervious and one impervious) could be noted, indicating the importance of considering impervious surfaces for the simulation. HSPF reacted quite logically to variations in the calibration parameters and the results from those variations could be predicted beforehand. In summary, the PC version of HSPF was demonstrated to be a good management tool for the hydrological simulation of this watershed.

Full textThe CIB is the cumulative infrared emission from all the galaxies throughout cosmic history. Its distinct frequency-redshift dependence allows to probe a large span of redshifts. In this thesis, we utilise the CIB anisotropies detected by the Planck satellite to:i) Measure the star formation history of the Universe and the effective bias of the dark matter halos hosting the CIB galaxies to a high redshift. Using these measurements, we calculate the typical mass of the host dark matter halos for the CIB galaxies at different times.ii) Using the CIB as a tracer of the large scale structure, the cross-correlation with the CMB provides with an alternative probe of the dark energy. We showed that the CIB, extracted on a large fraction of the sky, may provide the best Integrated Sachs Wolf measurement (in terms of S/N ratio). Using a Fisher matrix formalism, we also predict the improvement on the constraints on the cosmological parameters using the ISW measured with this technique. We cross-correlate the best available maps of the CIB and the CMB and find that the dust residuals in the CIB maps are too high to detect the ISW through this method.iii) Measure the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) power spectrum hidden in the CMB power spectrum. We improve upon the existing analysis by combining the CIB measurements (from Planck/HFI and Herschel/SPIRE) and multi-frequency observations by Planck, SPT and ACT to extend the range of scales and frequencies to facilitate the kSZ measurement. We develop a power spectrum analysis based on physically motivated but simplistic and consistent models of foreground components (CIB, tSZ, tSZxCIB) to accurately separate the kSZ from the CMB

Full textVision systems, such as "seeing" robots, should be able tooperate robustly in generic environments. In this thesis, weinvestigate certain aspects of how these demands of robusmessof a systems approach to vision could be met.
Firstly, we suggest that robustness can be improved byfusing the variety of infor mation offered by the environment,and, therefore, we investigate the effectiveness of using thecoincidence of multiple cues. Secondly, we are concerned aboutthe use of coarse algorithms. Even though the environmentprovides much information, it is neither necessary nor possibleto extract all information available. Therefore, we will showthat coarse algorithms will suffice for certain problems. Toinvestigate the effectiveness of using the coincidence ofmultiple cues, we perform a series of experiments on detectingplanar surfaces in binocular images. These experiments arebased on two schemes of a somewhat different character.
The first one is ahyporhesls-and-testscheme that incorporates the cues ina certaln order and hence, by design, imposes a ranking ofthem. The general idea is to use arbitrary cues exploitinglocal image data to get an idea about whether the model (aplanar surface) is seen in the image and at which location itis found. If one or more cues strongly indicate a certaininstance of a model, then this observation serves as ahypothesis to be tested by other cues to support or reject thishypothesis. In comparison to the cues used for hypothesisgeneration, those used for hypothesis testing should be morereliable and can also have a higher computational complexitysince they are only employed when needed.The general idea of the second scheme is to first use asimple, and quick cue exploiting local image data toget anidea of where in the image the model (a planar surface) couldbe found. After this initial localization step, all cues thatcan be computed are gathered and allowed tovorefor the occurrence of the model in the hypothesizedregion. The initialization of this approach is a hypothesisforming step, similar to that of the hypothesis-and-testapproach This step though, is much weaker because it onlyindicates a region in the images where to look. The approachallows direct fusion of incommensurable cues, such as intensityand surface orientation. Generally, it can be regarded as aless restrictive approach than the hypothesis-and-test approach. We propose that coarse algorithms may be motivated from arobustness and flexibtl hy point of view. Our experimentsdemonstrate that there is support for this claim, at least, forsome tasks of relevante, such as those of finding planarsurfaces, or similar simple models.

Full textThe cue-induced relapse model is a model commonly used to study relapse caused by environmental stimuli. In its procedure, the environmental stimuli are usually a contextual stimulus (S) and a conditioned reinforcer (Sr). Although this model is extensively used its construct validity has been criticized. Between these critics are the fact that only the Sr controls the drug seeking responses because this stimulus overshadows the S, in addition to the fact that little is known about the neural systems that are involved in cue-induced relapse. Therefore, this work had as main purpose to evaluate operant process in the alcohol cue-induced relapse and evaluate the role of stress neural systems in this relapse. In adition, this work had also the purpose to improve the animal model procedure. The experiments presented in Chapter 1 had the purpose to increase the control exercised by S over relapse and to evaluate associative learned in this model procedure. Two experiments were conducted to achieve this goal. In the first one two groups of rats were trained in the cue-induced relapse model but one group was trained under the fixed ratio 1 (FR1) and the other under the variable ratio 5 schedule (VR5). In the second experiment, rats were trained in the cue-induced procedure, but the stimuli S and Sr were presented separately during the training phase. The results showed that separate training was effective in increase the S control over relapse and that changing the schedule of reinforcement was not effective in increase this control. Also, results showed that summation occurred when the stimuli are trained separately and tested as a compound. The experiments presented in Chapter 2 had the purpose to evaluate if neural axis related to organic stress responses are involved in cue-induced alcohol relapse. Also, it was investigated if the HPA is involved in relapse. Marchigian Sardinian Preferring (msP) rats and Wistars rats were trained in the cue-induced model and during the test phase Antalarmin, Metyrapone and corticosterone (CORT) were injected i.p. in the animals. The results showed that Antalarmin (dose 20 mg/kg) blocked relapse produced by environmental cues in both rats strains, Metyrapone (doses 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg) blocked relapse in msP rats and only dose 100 mg/kg blocked relapse in Wistar rats and CORT had no effect on relapse in both strains. These results showed that the procedure used in the cue-induced model can be improved mainly in regard to the control from S over relapse. The results also showed that stress responses influence relapse in this model

Includes bibliographical references (pages 61-66).
In this thesis, we present algorithms for self-aggregation and self-reconfiguration of modular robots in the pivoting cube model. First, we provide generic algorithms for aggregation of robots following integrator dynamics in arbitrary dimensional configuration spaces. We describe solutions to the problem under different assumptions on the capabilities of the robots, and the configuration space in which they travel. We also detail control strategies in cases where the robots are restricted to move on lower dimensional subspaces of the configuration space (such as being restricted to move on a 2D lattice). Second, we consider the problem of finding a distributed strategy for the aggregation of multiple modular robots into one connected structure. Our algorithm is designed for the pivoting cube model, a generalized model of motion for modular robots that has been effectively realized in hardware in the 3D M-Blocks. We use the intensity from a stimulus source as a input to a decentralized control algorithm that uses gradient information to drive the robots together. We give provable guarantees on convergence, and discuss experiments carried out in simulation and with a hardware platform of six 3D M-Blocks modules.

Full textAn accurate and complete cardiac tissue characterization is essential to diagnose and treat heart problems. To characterize cardiac function from different perspectives, large amounts of data of different nature from the same patient are acquired in clinical practice, providing information that is useful for heart assessment. Although the different data obtained from each patient are often analyzed separately to assess cardiac function from different perspectives, the effective combination of this heterogeneous information may be useful for a better insight into heart anatomy and function. The main objective of this thesis is to develop methods to integrate images and information of different nature for a more complete and accurate cardiac tissue characterization.
MacKenzie, David Bruce Hollis. "The culture cube| A three-dimensional model of political thought." Thesis, Regent University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1601359.
Full textAt any given time, the political culture exhibits various polarized tensions— the progressive versus the conservative sentiment; the social versus the individual perspective; the religious versus the secular point-of-view. Few people— whether scholars or ordinary citizens— doubt that each aspect is potentially influential as a factor on the politico-cultural landscape. Yet, while descriptions of each are many and relatively consistent, formal modular integrations and expressions are relatively few— and may not always be value-neutral. Recognizing that the ubiquitous left-right spectrum may need additional dimension, this thesis presents a model that reflects the familiar aspects of left and right, but adds two more spectra of ideological preference. The net result is a three-dimensional form and metaphor that is easily apprehended, and can aid in providing a quick political classification. Schematically rendered, this metaphor takes the form of a cube. Utilizing survey responses from urban and rural Alberta, Canada, this thesis hopes to provide the reader with a meaningful system of political categorization that may more thoroughly encompass, without partisan pejorative overtones, tendencies as disparate as religious communalism and libertarian secularism.

Full textWe investigate the modelling of radio galaxies within a semi-analytic framework in the Millennium Simulation of the Virgo Consortium. The aim is to assess the radio sources contamination of Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signatures of clusters of galaxies in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments. The modelling is also relevant to the Karoo Array Telescope (MeerKAT) and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) science. The semi-analytical model consists of N-body simulation, the Millennium Run to trace the merger history of dark matter haloes within the Λ Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) cosmology and a follow up of the black hole accretion history and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) evolution. We study the growth of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in galaxy centres and determine the black hole mass accretion conversion into radiation. We identify a model which matches observed radio luminosity function. We describe a model of observed sample of radio surveys at a given frequency and a flux density limit to obtain a model of radio luminosity function (space density of radio sources as a function of redshift) that we compare with our simulated data. We determine the redshift distribution of radio galaxies (FRI), blazars and radio quasars (FRII) in the simulation. We focus the modelling on flat spectrum population of blazars since their jets are collimated towards us and thus constitute the most potential contaminants of the CMB. We determine the spatial and density distribution of radio sources in clusters with a virial mass Mvir 2 1014h−1M and then compute the temperature fluctuations and fluxes produced by these cluster radio sources. Our main results include: the model provides a reasonable match within uncertainties with the model obtained by Dunlop & Peacock (1990) [39] using their best fit of radio luminosity function at redshift z . 0:3. The model underestimates the number of radio sources at high redshift z & 1. Radio sources are concentrated around the centre of clusters with a maximum density at r . 0:1r200 where r200 is the radius within which the density is 200 times the critical density. Radio sources are more concentrated in low mass clusters. The model predicts a surface density profile of radio sources with luminosity P 1023 W.Hz−1 at 1.4 GHz (z . 0:06) in agreement with that of Lin & Mohr (2007) [58] at r . 0:1r200 but underestimates the density in the outskirts of the clusters. BL Lacs and FRI radio galaxies produce non negligible contamination at redshift z . 0:1. They produce a mean temperature fluctuation 4:5 K at redshift z 0:01 which can be at the same level as the kinetic SZE signal produced by the cluster. Blazars constitute potential contaminant of the thermal SZ effect at redshift z 1:0 and z 1:5 at 145 GHz where they produce a mean temperature 300 K - 350 K for an average mass of the cluster.

Full textThis dissertation is based on eleven months of fieldwork in Cuba. Its objective is twofold. First, understand how contentious dynamics have emerged and endured through time without undergoing severe repression, like dissident movements. Secondly, grasp what the existence of this tolerated contention tells us about the way power is wielded in such a context. Contentious practices are here defined as intentional, collective and conflictive. This study focuses on the relationships between contentious movements and State authorities, in order to understand the logics of their interactions. Elaborating on this, this dissertation shows that contentious practices are partly tolerated by the authorities because they are neither oppositional nor directly political. They are linked up, though in a critical and sometimes subversive way, to the norms of the revolutionary socialization, on which are based the legitimate frameworks for perception of reality. Contentious movements are situated at the margins of the cultural field, thanks to the creation of a hybrid repertoire: between collective action and cultural creation. That ambiguity allows them to negotiate space for action, according to the levels of government. Authorities grant them some space because that this allows for the regulation and containment of contention, through the use of a specific mode of coercion, which is based on uncertainty and arbitrariness. This study also brings to light the plasticity of the Cuban regime and invites us, beyond that specific case, to substitute analyses in terms of erosion of governing capacity for analyses of the modes of adaptation and transformation of authoritarian regimes

Results indicate that heterosexual consumers were accepting of ads with lesbian portrayals. Participants showed more negative attitudes toward gay male portrayals, but attitudes towards heterosexual and lesbian ads were similar. This effect was moderated by participantsâ attitudes toward homosexuals. Regarding message processing, low involvement consumers showed more negative attitudes toward homosexual portrayals than toward heterosexual portrayals, providing some indication that modelsâ sexual orientation in ads may have served as a peripheral cue negatively impacting attitudes toward the couple and ad in situations where elaboration is low. However, such effects on attitudes toward couples and ads did not appear to carry over to attitudes toward the brand and product, purchase intentions, or recall. Implications, limitations, and areas for future research are also discussed.

Full textI metodi di valutazione delle preferenze come la Conjoint Analysis e la Choice Based Conjoint Analysis vengono descritti come i metodi più usati dagli addetti ai lavori nel marketing (Green e Srinivasan, 1990; Green et al., 2001). Il concetto di valutazione delle preferenze è collegato a quello di misurazione della Customer Satisfaction dove questa ultima è considerata una misura diretta di preferenza ed aspettativa (Grigoroudis e Siskos, 2002). Nel valutare la scelta di un modello statistico appropriato, i modelli CUB (Combination Uniform Binomial) sono stati sviluppati allo scopo di spiegare il meccanismo psicologico alla base del processo di scelta (D’Elia, 2003; D’Elia e Piccolo, 2005). Molte sono state le estensioni del modello sviluppate (Iannario, 2013) al fine di spiegare comportamenti diversi coinvolti nel processo di scelta. In riferimento alla valutazione delle preferenze e alla misurazione della Customer Satisfaction, i modelli CUB si sono rivelati adatti in molti casi reali (Piccolo e D’Elia, 2008; Corduas et al., 2009; Cicia et al., 2010; Iannario et al., 2012; Iannario e Piccolo, 2012; Bordignon e Salmaso, 2013; Arboretti e Bordignon, 2014), confermandoli come uno strumento utile oltre che basato su una teoria dimostrata (Iannario e Piccolo, 2014). Le variabili latenti feeling e uncertainty si ipotizza siano coinvolte nel processo di scelta di un item. L’interpretazione è molto flessibile, infatti il parametro “feeling” è collegato al costrutto (soddisfazione, preferenza o attenzione) che si intende misurare. La principale estensione del modello CUB presa in considerazione è quella che prevede l’introduzione di covariate al fine di spiegare le variabili latenti feeling e uncertainty. Lo scopo principale della Tesi è mostrare come l’applicazione dei modelli CUB e della Conjoint Analysis danno un valore aggiunto rispetto alla applicazione della sola Conjoint Analysis. Un’analisi più approfondita degli studi sulla valutazione delle preferenze ha permesso di identificare il secondo scopo della ricerca: l’applicazione dei modelli CUB successivamente ad uno studio di Conjoint Analysis permette di ottenere maggiori informazioni sulla percezione dei rispondenti? Allo scopo di ottenere una misura della Customer Satisfaction, i modelli CUB applicati alle valutazioni di soddisfazione di alcune scuole di sci ha mostrato che attraverso una analisi a due fasi è stato possibile identificare rilevanti covariate coinvolte nel ranking delle migliori scuole. Successivamente è stata condotta una survey sul packaging alimentare. L’applicazione dei modelli CUB ad alcuni aspetti di soddisfazione sul packaging alimentare ha rivelato il feeling a l’uncertainty dei rispondenti e ha gettato luce su importanti caratteristiche dei soggetti collegate a quegli aspetti. I modelli CUB sono stati applicati a specifici gruppi di profili selezionati in base ai risultati della Conjoint Analysis. L’approccio integrato ha permesso di stimare feeling e uncertainty dei soggetti per i livelli degli attributi aventi l’utilità più elevata come il packaging biodegradabile e il formato multipla divisibile. L’introduzione delle covariate ha mostrato che determinate caratteristiche demografiche sono collegate sia al feeling che all’uncertainty. I risultati della segmentazione “data-driven” dell’approccio integrato “CUB models e Conjoint Analysis” è stato il contributo più importante. Infine vengono discussi i limiti della ricerca e le direzioni di ricerca future.

Full textThe relapse into drug use is one of the key obstacles for addict treatment. One of the animal models most used for relapse studies in laboratory is the so called cue-induced. Even though this model has been proven to be useful for neurophysiologic processes related to relapse, its value for analyzing environment stimulus control on addiction is considered to be limited because it does not distinguish the function of discriminative stimulus and of conditioned reinforcer which control the reinstatement of the response that was reinforced by the use of drugs. The main objective of this study was to analyze the established controls over the lever pressure responses of rats submitted to the cue-induced procedure. They were subjected to three different experiments. On the first one the animals were exposed to the three different experimental stages that characterize a cue-induced procedure. At the first experimental phase, lever press response was trained over two different components. In one of them, the response to an orange odor (SD1) had as a consequence the appearance of a luminous stimulus (Sr1) and the release of ethanol (ET group) or a sucrose solution (SAC group). While in the other one, lever press in the presence of a anise odor had as a consequence the appearance of a sonorous stimulus accompanied by water release. At the second phase, there were conducted extinction sessions in the lack of the stimuli used on the training phase. And finally, at the third phase, the discriminative stimulus and conditioned reinforcer were reintroduced. Nevertheless, the lever press response was not reinforced by ethanol, sucrose or water. By the time the standard procedure was over, additional tests were run, where each stimuli used on the training phase were presented to the rats separately. The second experiment procedure was similar to the one employed at the first experiment, however two irrelevant variables for the model were controlled for, but these were associated with the experimental contingencies: the sawdust on the experimental box trail and the drinking fountain when put into action. At the third experiment, sucrose was added to the ethanol solution and also to the water. The results from the two first experiments showed that Sr1 was effective in reinstate the lever pressure response verified at the reinstatement tests, whereas SD1 was not successful in doing so. Neither the introduction of SD2 nor Sr2 reinstate the response. The data obtained by Experiment 3 was not conclusive in regards to the control imposed by the olfactory, luminous and sonorous stimuli. The results suggest that the cue-induced procedure, typically used to establish baselines for discriminative control over drugs self-administration, may not be in fact the most suitable one for this purpose. Nonetheless, there is still a need to refine the experiment in order to reach more accurate and conclusive results.

Given the pervasiveness of energy efficiency concerns in the built environment, this research aims to answer key questions regarding the performance of thermal mass construction. The work presents the Cube Model, a simplified model of the single-family home. The model combines simplified geometry and equivalent envelope parameters with accurate climate data and internal loading assumptions. The model first addresses the notion as to whether building simplification is a valid means of analysis through a calibration and validation study. Then, the model is used to address three research areas on passive thermal mass: (1) the quantification of thermal mass performance with respect to material thermal properties; (2) the optimization of thermal mass performance for given material parameters; and (3) the sensitivity of thermal mass performance to infiltration and geometry effects. The experiments for wall and slab constructions, to address the first research area, demonstrate that the energy savings from thermal mass are both climate and season dependent. Results provide the magnitude of energy savings in fifty climates across the United States. Optimization experiments on the material thickness and conductivity, to address the second research area, show that constructions do not reach peak thermal mass performance at the same thermal properties in all climates. Sensitivity analyses, to address the third research area, indicate that passive thermal mass and tight construction practices can be mutually optimized without a trade-off of energy performance. Geometry effects demonstrate that modifications in building design can either benefit or hinder the performance of passive thermal mass. The combination of the results suggests that optimum design for thermal mass performance and the resulting energy consumption are climate-dependent and sensitive to many factors aside from material thermal properties.

Full textThis work is focused on the study of early time cosmology and in particular on the study of inflation. After an introduction on the standard Big Bang theory, we discuss the physics of CMB and we explain how its observations can be used to set constraints on cosmological models. We introduce inflation and we carry out its simplest realization by presenting the observables and the experimental constraints that can be set on inflationary models. The possibility of observing primordial gravitational wave (GW) produced during inflation is discussed. We present the reasons to deftne a classification of inflationary models and introduce the [3-function formalism for inflation by explaining why in this framework we can naturally define a set of universality classes for inflationary models. Theoretical motivations to support the formulation of inflation in terms of this formalism are presented. Some generalized models of inflation are introduced and the extension of the (3-function formalism for inflation to these models is discussed. Finally we focus on the study of models where the (pseudo-scalar) inflaton is non-minimally coupled to some Abelian gauge fields that can be present during inflation. The analysis of the problem is carried out by using a characterization of inflationary models in terms of their asymptotic behavior. A wide set of theoretical aspects and of observational consequences is discussed

Full textA visualização é a representação visual realística ou abstracta de um conjunto de dados que são gerados por modelos computacionais ou resultantes de medições físicas realizadas no mundo real. É fundamental para auxiliar as pessoas a compreenderem dados e processos complexos e pode ser classificada consoante os seus objectivos (nomeadamente a visualização científica e de informação). A correcta modelação e caracterização dos dados são partes fundamentais para a escolha de técnicas visuais eficazes e a produção de uma visualização válida. O grande desafio é exactamente o de identificar como a análise dos resultados pode e deve ser mostrada ao potencial utilizador de uma forma simultaneamente sucinta, coerente e útil. O conceito de modelação cartográfica ou álgebra de mapas foi desenvolvido por Dana Tomlin em 1983 com o Map Analysis Package1 [Sendra2000]. Um modelo cartográfico pode ser visualizado como uma colecção de mapas registados numa base cartográfica comum, em que cada mapa é uma variável sujeita a operações matemáticas tradicionais. A modelação é um processo que decorre de operações primitivas de pontos, vizinhança e regiões sobre diferentes mapas, numa lógica sequencial para interpretar e resolver problemas espaciais. Neste contexto, a sequência de operações é similar à solução algébrica de um conjunto de equações. A criação de ferramentas informáticas para a análise e visualização de dados relacionados com o corpo humano é uma área em forte expansão e de especial interesse. Apesar destas ferramentas serem muito úteis, sofrem bastante da limitação imposta pela arquitectura dos modelos utilizados para o seu desenvolvimento e consequente implementação. Isto ocorre porque estes modelos adoptam os mesmos princípios e ponderações que são aplicados a dados de natureza não humana ou biológica e tratando-os de forma independente e atómica. Por outro lado, a utilização de técnicas visuais pouco intuitivas no sentido de denotar a interdependência espacial inerente a este tipo de informação é outra limitação a salientar neste tipo de ferramentas. Os dados relacionados com o corpo humano apresentam uma forte componente espacial. Para que seja possível uma análise e investigação correctas é necessário ter isso sempre em consideração. Um bom exemplo desta situação é o diagnóstico médico. A combinação de informação oriunda de diferentes partes do corpo humano é normalmente necessária para que um médico possa diagnosticar a doença de um paciente. O acto de diagnosticar pode ser traduzido por um conjunto de operações de álgebra de mapas executadas sobre os dados relacionados com o corpo humano do paciente. Qualquer modelo que pretenda servir de base para o desenvolvimento e implementação de ferramentas informáticas orientadas para a medicina, e em especial, para a análise e visualização de dados relacionado com o corpo humano, deve incorporar os princípios fundamentais da modelação cartográfica. Desta maneira, é possível que os dados possam ser devidamente modelados e consequentemente extrapolada mais informação útil. Por outro lado, a utilização da visualização como instrumento de comunicação de resultados, com a inclusão de metáforas visuais cartográficas é outra mais-valia a ter em conta. O modelo CHUB (Cartographic Human Body), que é apresentado neste trabalho, pretende colmatar essa falha identificada no tratamento e visualização de dados relacionados com o corpo humano. Utiliza a modelação cartográfica como alicerce fundamental para a análise dos dados e a visualização científica e de informação como meio para a comunicação de resultados. Para ser possível a sua avaliação e validação foram considerados dois estudos de caso: diagnóstico da artrose no joelho e a análise de sessões de hidrocinesioterapia. Para estes dois estudos de caso foi implementado um protótipo que instancia o modelo CHUB nestes casos particulares, permitindo a sua utilização, avaliação e validação em dois domínios específicos. Os resultados obtidos após a utilização e avaliação do protótipo permitiram validar com sucesso o modelo CHUB proposto nesta tese de doutoramento.
Visualization is the realistic or abstract visual representation of a dataset that is generated by computer models or resulting from physical measurements of the real world. Visualization is fundamental to help people understand data and complexes processes and can be categorized according its goals (scientific or information). The correct data model and characterization are essential to the right choice of the visualization techniques and the production of useful visualizations. The great challenge lies in how to determine that the results are showed to the final users at the same time in a coherent, useful and simple way. The cartographic model concept was developed by Dana Tomlin in 1983 with the Map Analysis Package2 [Sendra2000]. A cartographic model can be seen as a collection of maps that are registered in a cartographic database, where each map is a “variable” that can be mathematically operated. These operations may involve primitives such as points or areas of different maps, for example, in a sequential order to interpret and solve spatial problems. In this context, the sequence of operations is similar to the algebraic solution of a group of equations. The creation of automatic tools for human’s body data analysis and visualization is a field in expansion and of great interest. However these tools are very valuable, they suffer from a common limitation that is imposed by their basis architectural model. In general, they rarely represent in a suitable way biological, morphological and/or biomedical data spatial interdependency. These models treat data in an almost total focused and independent way. The human body systems and organs work as a complex machine, where each part depends strongly on the others. This dependency might be stronger or weaker to the system or organ importance on the overall patient condition. The doctor diagnoses an illness by comparing and analyzing information not only directly related to the mostly affected organ, but also to the body as a whole. In fact the doctor performs a subtle spatial analysis, and therefore, executes a typical algebraic map operation in his/her mind, when diagnosing a patient. An illness might arouse different symptoms and physiological changes in systems/organs that are not directly related to the spatial location of it. CHUB is a model that was developed taking into consideration the main principles of cartographic modelling. It structures data according to different layers of information. Each layer is associated to a specific organ and/or system, and might contain geometric data or attributes that are “human-referenced”. CHUB has not been developed as a dynamic model. It is considered that dynamic issues related to human’s body data, such as body movement, blood flow or heartbeat (besides others) will be accomplished by other models that should be used as a specialized extension to CHUB. In order to validate CHUB two cases of study were considered – osteoarthritis knee diagnosis and hydrokinetic therapy sessions analysis, proposed two strategies for its validation and a prototype implemented. This prototype allowed its utilization, evaluation and validation in two different domains. The results achieved after its utilization and test lead to a complete CHUB validation.

Full textOver the last two decades cosmology has been transformed from a data-starved to a data-driven, high precision science. N This transformation happened thanks to improved observational techniques, allowing to collect progressively bigger and more powerful data sets. Studies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies have played, and continue on doing so, a particularly important and impactful role in this process. The huge data sets produced by recent CMB experiments pose new challenges for the field due to their volumes and complexity. Its successful resolution requires combining mathematical, statistical and computational methods aIl of which form a keystone of the modern CMB data analysis. In this thesis, I describe data analysis of the first data set produced by one of the most advanced, current CMB experiments, POLARBEAR and the major results it produced. The POLARBEAR experiment is a leading CMB B-mode polarization experiment aiming at detection and characterization of the so-called B-mode signature of the CMB polarization. This is one of the most exciting topics in the current CMB research, which only just has started yielding new insights onto cosmology in part thanks to the results discussed hereafter. In this thesis I describe first the modern cosmological model, focusing on the physics of the CMB, and in particular its polarization properties, and providing an overview of the past experiments and results. Subsequently, I present the POLARBEAR instrument, data analysis of its first year data set and the scientific results drawn from it, emphasizing my major contributions to the overall effort. In the last chapter, and in the context of the next generation CMB B-mode experiments, I present a more systematic study of the impact of the presence of the so-called E-to-B leakage on the performance forecasts of CMB B-modes experiments, by comparing several methods including the pure pseudospectrum method and the minimum variance quadratic estimator. In particular, I detail how the minimum variance quadratic estimator in the case of azimuthally symmetric patches can be used to estimate efficiently parameters, and I present an efficient implementation based on existing parallel algorithms for computing Spherical Harmonic Transforms
