Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers the human spatial occupational behaviour generically called 'settlement'. Within this process a diagnostic index of settlement is created to assist in analysing, defining, and exploring the parameters of 'Settlement Theory'. There is particular reference to Edward Gibbon Wakefield's Theory of Systematic Colonisation in South Australia, as it is one of the few Settlement Theories actually put into practice. Two case studies are examined to develop a transitional argument that connects theory to material outcome. Firstly, considering the macro implications of theory and material culture by comparing the implementation of Wakefield's theory (The South Australian Experiment) and the site, design, and Government Domain of the Capital (Adelaide). Secondly, by considering the micro effect of the theory on material culture in the form of the Governor's residence between 1836 and 1856, including search for the first Government House (Government Hut), to test the connection at this level.

Peters, Ann. "Topará in Pisco: settlement pattern and landscape." Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2015. http://repositorio.pucp.edu.pe/index/handle/123456789/113391.
Full textAbstract:
The settlement pattern associated with the presence of the Topara ceramic tradition in the lower Pisco River watershed and ad-jacent coastal plain is analyzed based on fieldwork and mapping carried out between 1985 y 1987 and an update process asso-ciated with establishing geographic coordinates for the site of Chongos in 2013. Available data on Paracas tradition occupationsis compared with evidence for occupations and associated architecture in the Jahuay and Chongos phases, as well as Carmenoccupations, also associated with early Nasca. Site locations are related to the development and management of water-basedresources and communication routes, and to the processes of human modification of the landscape on the south central coast ofPeru. Re-analysis of mid-20th century aerial photographs and the fieldwork by Dwight Wallace is central to this study, alongwith amplification of the research topics and the physical areas he covered. Data on architectural patterns, evidence for associatedactivities, and artifact associations provide criteria for evaluating the relationship between the Pisco Valley occupations, those atthe Paracas site, and other contemporary occupations in the south coast region.En este artículo, se presenta un análisis del patrón de asentamiento asociado a la presencia de la tradición Topará en el valle costerode la cuenca del río Pisco. Este se ha basado en el trabajo de campo y el levantamiento topográfico que fueron llevados a cabo entre 1985 y 1987; y, también, los procesos de actualización de la presentación de las coordenadas geográficas del sitio de Chongos en 2013. Los datos disponibles acerca de los asentamientos de la tradición Paracas se comparan con las evidencias de ocupacionesde las fases Jahuay y Chongos, tanto como las ocupaciones carmen, asociadas a Nasca Temprano. La ubicación de los sitios sevincula con el desarrollo y el manejo de los recursos de agua y las rutas de comunicación; en consecuencia, se observa en relacióncon los procesos de modificación humana del paisaje de la costa sur. Un reanálisis de las fotografías aéreas y del trabajo de campode Dwight Wallace a medianos del siglo XX es central para este estudio, como una ampliación del área y de los tópicos cubiertospor sus investigaciones. Los patrones arquitectónicos, las evidencias de actividades y las asociaciones artefactuales proporcionanalgunos criterios para evaluar la relación entre las ocupaciones del valle de Pisco, las del sitio de Paracas, y otras ocupaciones contemporáneas en la costa sur.

Full textAbstract:
This work introduces the site of Catalina Huanca and presents the results of research conducted on its Monticulos 6 and 7 between 2006-2008. Archaeological intervention has permitted the identication of the scope of local politicalprocesses that developed there in prehistory. Around 550 AD, Lima society began the planned construction of this extensive public center in the middle Rimac Valley, representing an enormous investment of work and organization. An analysis of the architectural sequence of Monticulo 7 has illustrated that during the course of 150 years, the settlement’s buldings were continually renovated, reproducing original architectural schematics and therefore the same ideological principles that sustained local power. Later, towards 700-750 AD, the site’s buldings were buried and abandoned following a number of human sacrices, above which was recorded a thick strata of silt. After 750 AD, one of the mounds of the settlement (Monticulo 6) was reutilized as a cemetery for a population whose material culture was found to be associated with the Huari phenomenon.Se presenta una introducción del sitio Catalina Huanca así como los resultados de las investigaciones realizadas en los Montículos 6 y 7 durante los años 2006-2008. Tales intervenciones nos han permitido identicar el desarrollo de procesos políticos locales. Así, alrededor del año 550 d.C., la sociedad Lima inicia la construcción planicada de un extenso centro público en el valle medio del Rímac, el cual implicó una enorme inversión de trabajo y organización. El análisis de la secuencia arquitectónica del Montículo 7 nos indica que durante un trascurso de 150 años, los edicios del asentamiento fueron renovados continuamente, reproduciendo las plantas arquitectónicas originales y por lo tanto los mismos principios que sustentaban la ideología del poder local. Luego, hacia los años 700-750 d.C. los edicios son sepultados y abandonados tras eventos de sacricios humanos, después de lo cual se registran gruesos estratos de limo.A partir del 750 d.C. uno de los montículos del asentamiento (Montículo 6) es reutilizado como cementerio de una población cuya cultura material se encuentra asociada al fenómeno wari.

Zhou, Haochuan. "Statistical Inferences for the Youden Index." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2011. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/math_diss/5.
Full textAbstract:
In diagnostic test studies, one crucial task is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a test. Currently, most studies focus on the Receiver Operating Characteristics Curve and the Area Under the Curve. On the other hand, the Youden index, widely applied in practice, is another comprehensive measurement for the performance of a diagnostic test. For a continuous-scale test classifying diseased and non-diseased groups, finding the Youden index of the test is equivalent to maximize the sum of sensitivity and specificity for all the possible values of the cut-point. This dissertation concentrates on statistical inferences for the Youden index. First, an auxiliary tool for the Youden index, called the diagnostic curve, is defined and used to evaluate the diagnostic test. Second, in the paired-design study to assess the diagnostic accuracy of two biomarkers, the difference in paired Youden indices frequently acts as an evaluation standard. We propose an exact confidence interval for the difference in paired Youden indices based on generalized pivotal quantities. A maximum likelihood estimate-based interval and a bootstrap-based interval are also included in the study. Third, for certain diseases, an intermediate level exists between diseased and non-diseased status. With such concern, we define the Youden index for three ordinal groups, propose the empirical estimate of the Youden index, study the asymptotic properties of the empirical Youden index estimate, and construct parametric and nonparametric confidence intervals for the Youden index. Finally, since covariates often affect the accuracy of a diagnostic test, therefore, we propose estimates for the Youden index with a covariate adjustment under heteroscedastic regression models for the test results. Asymptotic properties of the covariate-adjusted Youden index estimators are investigated under normal error and non-normal error assumptions.

Full textAbstract:
Except rare exceptions, the Paracas society of the Ica valley has been extensively studied from decontextualized materials, including pottery collected from clandestine tomb excavations in the Ocucaje basin. From the stylistic analysis of these pieces, which also included Nasca specimens, the hypothesis was elaborated that assumed the birth from the Paracas, expressed in the well-known axiom «transition paracas-nasca». The works carried out in Cerro Córdova and those that since 2009 are carried out in Ánimas Altas, within the framework of the investigations of the authors, are the first of a systematic nature in the lower valley of Ica. Recovered archaeological contexts do not reflect this process of cultural transition, but rather a process of cultural parallelism, followed by cultural readaptation dynamics. From this perspective,the Paracas of the valley of Ica would adapt to the new political-religious and hegemonic schemes that began to be formed during the early Intermediate Period in the basin of the Rio Grande de Nasca, and that characterized the Nasca entity.Salvo raras excepciones, la sociedad paracas del valle de Ica ha sido largamente estudiada a partir de materiales descontextualizados, entre los cuales destaca la cerámica recolectada de excavaciones clandestinas de tumbas en la cuenca deOcucaje. A partir del análisis estilístico de estas piezas, que incluyeron también especímenes nasca, se elaboró una hipótesis que suponía un origen nasca a partir de los paracas, expresado en el conocido axioma «transición paracas-nasca». Los trabajos realizados en Cerro Córdova y aquellos que desde 2009 se realizan en Ánimas Altas en el marco de las investigaciones de los autores son los primeros de carácter sistemático en el valle bajo de Ica. Los contextos arqueológicos recuperados no reflejan ese proceso de transición cultural, sino, más bien, un proceso de paralelismo cultural seguido de una dinámica de readaptación cultural. Desde esta perspectiva, los paracas del valle de Ica se adaptarían a los nuevos esquemas político-religiosos y hegemónicos que comenzaron a configurarse durante los inicios del Intermedio Temprano en la cuenca del río Grande de Nasca, y que caracterizaron a la entidad nasca.

Recent excavations at the site of Huaca 20, a sector of the Maranga Complex, have uncovered a shing settlement from the Late/Terminal Lima period. e spatial analysis of the residential areas and the activities performed there permits an understanding of the social dynamics of the group of sherfolk in the greater context of the Maranga Complex.Moreover, a detailed study of the material culture and shing gear helps to understand subsistence practices and daily performance in this settlement. e analysis of earlier and later shing settlements located in the Rímac Valley and inthe nearby littoral zones contributes to interpretations of the cultural trajectory of these shing communities that are usually consider to be marginal groups.Los recientes trabajos efectuados en el sitio Huaca 20, un segmento del gran Complejo Maranga de la cultura Lima, nos ha permitido identicar un barrio de pescadores del periodo Lima Tardío y Lima Terminal. El análisis espacial de susviviendas, las actividades desarrolladas en su interior, la cultura material registrada y los implementos de pesca presentes, nos permiten inferir sobre la dinámica social de este grupo en el contexto del Complejo Maranga. Más importante aún, haciendo un recuento de las características generales de las comunidades de pescadores del valle del Rímac y otros cercanos, podemos realizar una comparación diacrónica y bosquejar la trayectoria cultural de estos grupos de pescadores generalmente considerados marginales.

Archaeological Research at Pacopampa, Department of CajamarcaSince 1973 the author has spent several periods of fieldwork in the Pacopampa area, one of the most important ceremonial complexes in northern Peru. He concentrates on the discussion of the settlement pattern, which suggests the existence of four types of sites (A -D) in three levels with Pacopampa at the top and the D sites being distant centers of probably other systems. The B sites are apparently functionally attached to the center and even the C sites had ceremonial architecture. Of major importance is new evidence of Late Formative ceramics comparable to the La Copa phase at Kuntur Wasi in contexts interpreted as the reoccupation of Middle Formative structures.Desde 1993 el autor ha llevado a cabo varias temporadas de trabajo de campo en la zona de Pacopampa, una de las áreas más importantes en el norte del Perú.

Full textAbstract:
The present study reflects upon the identification process for gifted or highly able children through a systematic study of the literature, with the aim of providing them with an adequate and stimulating education beginning at an early age. The identification process requires an adequate diagnostic process of giftedness, and creativity is an important determining factor. Creativity, however, is a very complex construct due to differences in definition in the psychology field. This study aims to make a valuable contribution by discussing how to measure creativity in gifted or highly able children, as well as proving recommendations in the diagnostic process.El presente estudio busca reflexionar acerca del proceso de identificación de los niños superdotados o talentosos, a partir de un estudio sistemático de la literatura especializada, con el fin de brindarles una educación adecuada y estimulante desde edades tempranas.

La creatividad como concepto psicológico,es una categoría especialmente compleja, debido a que existen diferentes aproximaciones y definiciones de la misma. Este estudio contribuye a dar respuesta a la mejor manera en que se puede medir la creatividad en niños superdotados o talentosos, proponiendo recomendaciones al respecto.

Full textAbstract:
Jusqu’à récemment, la plupart des applications des arcs électriques mettaient en oeuvre les propriétés du coeur de la colonne, un effort particulier a donc été effectué pour développer des méthodes de caractérisation de ces zones dont la température moyenne est de l’ordre de 10000 K. Avec le développement de la plasma-chimie, le diagnostic des zones périphériques d’arcs et des décharges hors équilibre est devenu un enjeu primordial. Les méthodes de mesure classiques sont mal adaptées pour cette tâche ; le but du travail présenté dans cette thèse se résume donc au développement et à la validation de techniques de diagnostic adaptées à ces zones, dont la température cinétique n’excède pas 8000 K. Deux méthodes innovantes basées sur l’indice de réfraction, l’ombroscopie quantitative et la déflectométrie moirée, ont été étudiées en détails. Les résultats théoriques ainsi que le traitement des données obtenues ont été validés sur un jet de plasma laminaire d’argon, un modèle parfait de zone périphérique. Pour sonder les décharges hors équilibre, l’utilisation du spectre UV de OH a été aussi envisagée. À cette occasion, un programme de simulation de spectre moléculaire a été développé. L’étude des spectres synthétiques obtenus a permis de mettre au point des méthodes de mesure simples de la température rotationnelle et vibrationnelle pour une large gamme de résolution. Une des méthodes développées a été mise en œuvre sur une décharge à faible intensité de courant. On montre que les résultats obtenus par spectroscopie moléculaire sur le radical OH sont très proches de ceux obtenus à l’aide d’une simulationUntil recently, most of electrical arcs applications were dealing with the properties of the centre of the plasma column, a large number of works was then done to develop diagnostic techniques dedicated to those area where the mean temperature is about 10000 K. With the emergence of plasma chemistery, the diagnostic of arc’s peripheral areas and un-equilibrium discharges become a goal of prime importance. Classical diagnostic techniques are not adapted to those objects where the maximum temperature is around 8000 K; the principal aim of this work was to develop and check diagnostic techniques. Two inovating techniques based on refractive index, the quantitative shadowgraphy and the moiré deflectometry were studied extensively and checked on a laminar plasma jet, a perfect model of arc’s peripheral area. To probe unequilibrium discharge, the use of UV OH spectrum was considered. At this occasion, a spectrum simulation software was written. The study of synthetic spectra lead to the creation of simple measurement methods of rotationnal and vibrationnal OH temperature for a large range of resolution. Those methods was checked on a low power electric discharge. It can be shown that result from molecular spectroscopy are close to those obtained by simulation

Full textAbstract:
This document aims to expose some reflections on the dynamics of the concession contracts during the execution period, incomplete contracts that by its nature and by its long duration require an intensive work by the parties intended to interpret, define and / or clarify the agreed terms, as well as negotiation and signing of the new agreements to amend the text and, finally, the settlement of disputes. In addition to the characteristics of concession contracts described above, we also should take note of its unique and mixed nature, which is a consequence of the fact that this kind of contracts are rule by the public laws whose purpose is to safeguard the public interest through the implementation of infrastructure projects and public services - and also by the private laws- in which takes precedence the autonomy of the parties, consent and good faith. This article reviews how it is that these characteristics of the Concession Contract have been reflected in our legal system and, if necessary, make some kind of conformity and / or correction.El presente documento tiene como objetivo exponer algunas reflexiones sobre la dinámica de los Contratos de Concesión durante la etapa de ejecución contractual, contratos que por su naturaleza incompleta y por su larga duración requieren de una labor intensa por las partes destinada a interpretar, precisar y/o aclarar los términos contractuales acordados, así como de negociación y suscripción de acuerdos de modificación del texto contractual y, por último, de solución de las controversias que se pudieran originar. En adición a las características de los contratos de concesión antes descritas, debe tenerse presente su singular carácter mixto derivado de la aplicación del régimen administrativo, cuya finalidad es salvaguardar el interés público a través de la ejecución de proyectos de infraestructura y servicios públicos, y, a su vez, de la aplicación del régimen civil, en el cual prima, la autonomía de las partes, el consentimiento y la buena fe. El presente artículo pretende revisar cómo es que dichas características del Contrato de Concesión han sido plasmadas en nuestroordenamiento jurídico y, si es necesario, realizar algún tipo de concordancia y/o corrección.

We conclude by interpreting the evolution of several economic strategies employed by different groups occupying the Central Coast of Perú until the formation of stratified societies of the Preceramic Period.En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de dos temporadas de reconocimiento sistemático en la quebrada Orcón-Pacaybamba, ubicada en el valle medio de Chancay. Los datos obtenidos se confrontan con la información conocida con respecto a la economía y distribución de sitios durante el Periodo Precerámico en la costa y sierra central del Perú. Finalmente, a manera de hipótesis, se exponen algunos planteamientos en relación con la evolución de las diversas estrategias económicas desarrolladas desde la llegada del hombre a la costa central del Perú hasta la formación de sociedades estratificadas al final de este periodo.

This thesis research analyzes how Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) can be used to understand extant Northeastern Plains Village (NEPV) settlement strategies in aggregate for the purposes of subjoining a subsequent verification metric to the current archaeological classification system used to describe NEPV associated sites. To accomplish this task, I extracted Traditional Ecological Knowledge from ethnographic sources for comparison to geospatial, geostatistical, and statistical analyses. My results show that the hierarchical clustering exhibited among NEPV sites is congruent with first person narratives of habitation and resource collection activities occurring in the pre-Reservation period (before AD 1880) within the research area. This study emphasizes the importance of the incorporation of Traditional Ecological Knowledge into material typological classification schemes for archaeological sites which are convoluted by a high rates of cultural transmission.

Full textAbstract:
The Formative Period in Southern Potosí, Bolivia: A Preliminary ReportIn the southern Andes, the period dated from 1600 A.C. to 400 A.D. is usually known as the Formative Period. It is characterized by the apparition of the first agro-pastoral or agro-fisherman communities and the first form of religious and political organization. In the southern part of the Bolivian territory, a series of surface surveys help us to localize new settlements which belong to this period. Most of them are small villages which show the remains of structures such as mud houses or stone terraces. This paper illustrates what could have been the nature of the occupation of this vast area during the Formative Period, emphasizing the settlement pattern and ceramic artifacts. It also tries to present some of the main axes which connected this area to the other countries nearby.En los Andes del sur, a la etapa comprendida entre aproximadamente 1600 a.C. a 400 d.C. se le conoce como Periodo Formativo. Se caracteriza por la aparición de las primeras comunidades agroalfareras, agroganaderas o de subsistencia basada en la pesca así como en el florecimiento de las primeras formas de organización religiosa y política. Las regiones meridionales de Potosí, en el sur de Bolivia, presentan varios sitios que corresponden a esta época que recientemente han sido estudiados. En su mayoría se trata de pequeñas aldeas que muestran aún los restos de sus estructuras (viviendas de barro o piedra y terrazas de cultivo). En este ensayo se presentan las características de la ocupación de esta época en Potosí, haciendo énfasis en el patrón de asentamiento y la alfarería. Estos datos permiten plantear algunas hipótesis sobre las relaciones que pudieron tener con áreas vecinas.

Full textAbstract:
This paper deals with some of the issues that affect the understanding and functioning of descriptive psychopathology (DP). The latter remains the language of description in psychiatry and the basis for her nosological constructs. DP makes assumptions concerning the nature of its object and its underlying causes (i.e. makes use of the medical model). DP needs historical, clinical and numerical recalibration. It is suggested that in some cases, and against traditional psychometric principles, some instruments will have to be constructed that show flexibility and can be varied according to the descriptive needs presented by individual cases.En el presente artículo se discuten algunos aspectos que afectan a la comprensión y al funcionamiento de la psicopatología descriptiva (PD), la cual proporciona un lenguaje descriptivo a la psiquiatría y las bases para sus constructos nosológicos. La PD formula postulados sobre la naturaleza de su objeto de estudio y sus causas subyacentes (haciendo uso del modelo médico). Se propone que la PD necesita una recalibración histórica, clínica y numérica. En relación a esto, se sugiere que en algunos casos, en contra de los principios psicométricos tradicionales, ciertos instrumentos deberán ser construidos de un modo flexible que permita que varíen de acuerdo a las necesidades descriptivas que presenten casos individuales.

Full textAbstract:
The materialisation of Inka state identity in the lower Yanamayo Valley is discussed in opposition to that of the local collective identity, referred to here as Marañón, on the basis of the archaeological settlement pattern of the lower Yanamayo Valley. The distribution of Inka and Marañón architecture —productive, administrative and mortuary— in fluvial Yunga settings generally, and around the ferry port at Pogtán in particular, suggests different strategies to claim rights of access and use over the Yunga oasis, and over the crossing of the Marañón river.Inka architecture is found along the Qapaq Naani, as well as on a secondary Inka road, described here for the first time. The "Yanamayo Yunga Naani" links central Conchucos (departamento de Ancash) with Huacrachuco and the Cordillera Oriental (departamento de Huánuco). The Late Intermediate Period/Late Horizon Marañón architecture, is regarded conceptualized as the result of a regional historical trajectory, which was impacted upon by the Inka expansion.El reflejo material de la identidad del Estado inka en el bajo río Yanamayo se discute en contraposición a aquel de la identidad local, para este caso denominada Marañón, sobre la base de patrones de asentamiento arqueológicos en el bajo río Yanamayo. La distribución de la arquitectura productiva, administrativa y mortuoria tanto inka como marañón en la Yunga fluvial y, especialmente, en las inmediaciones del puerto balsero de Pogtán, indican estrategias diferentes para reclamar derechos de propiedad y de usufructo sobre los oasis de Yunga interandina, así como sobre el cruce del río Marañón.La arquitectura inka se distribuye a lo largo del Qapaq Naani, así como en un ramal secundario, descrito aquí por primera vez. El "Yanamayo Yunga Naani" vincula la zona de Conchucos central (departamento de Ancash) con Huacrachuco y la Cordillera Oriental (departamento de Huánuco). Se plantea que la distribución tanto de la arquitectura marañón del Periodo Intermedio Tardío y del Horizonte Tardío es el resultado de una larga trayectoria de desarrollo histórico regional, que recibió el impacto de la expansión inka.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes two studies in response to the trend in developed Western societies for individuals to change jobs and move house more often. Trends towards virtual organisations and single occupant households suggested a need to identify key factors when contemplating functioning in isolation and a way to provide guidance more relevant to the individual. For the first study, the research question was whether a common structure of human life criteria could be found, based in theory but expressed in terms easily understood by a layperson. A grounded approach was based on repertory grid interviews of fifteen participants (selected for maximum variation) to establish in their own words what they saw as key criteria for their own significant life and career events. The sample produced bipolar constructs, triangulated with brief PCP interviews and card sorts to cover a whole life domain with particular emphasis on solitude and team working. Criteria were then examined for underlying structure and reviewed against existing theories. Four general themes were identified, labelled 'Stimulation', 'Purpose and Progress', 'Enablement' and 'Interpersonal Contact' which together embraced over 96% of the grid interview constructs. Lack of background detail for the seven brief interviews and twenty-nine card sorts made it hard to judge their relevance. The influence of teams and culture are discussed, together with the possible implications for decision-making. Recent research in related areas was found to lend support for the themes. The second study involved developing a generalised diagnostic to identify clients most likely to function well in isolation. Research into social isolation, loneliness and selfesteem is reviewed. It was assumed the diagnostic process would be complemented by context-specific assessment. Five hypotheses were made: it would produce discriminating individual profiles; it would identify those who preferred living on their own; it would identify those who preferred working on their own; it would identify those who felt more productive on their own; the 21-30 group would be significantly different from older age groups. A fifteen item instrument was developed with four factors: Enterprise (generalised self-efficacy based on project management); Social Independence; Functional Independence; and Anxiety. A pool (n= 365) of native English speakers aged between twenty-one and seventy, were UK residents except for a contrast population (n=30) resident in South Africa. Self-reports of living and working preference and perceived productivity were used as outcome variables. Logistic regression was used. Significant results confirmed all five hypotheses and the three resulting models were between 68% and 74% accurate. Four month Pearson two-tailed correlation coefficients of between .560 and .765, all significant at the level p=.01, were obtained for the predictors but half the retest participants changed at least one outcome variable. These changes often paralleled domestic or situation changes, suggesting short-, medium- and long-term decision components. From the profiles of those who both preferred working alone and perceived themselves more productive doing so, participants with similar profiles were identified amongst those without any experience of working alone, indicating profiles were not the result of experience. Recommendations are made for the use of the instrument in practice and suggestions are made for further research.

Full textAbstract:
On Perú’s North Coast, the earliest documented lithic traditions are collectively known as the El Palto Phase (~14,200-9600cal BP). This phase, which spans the Late Pleistocene to Early Holocene, contains evidence for several contemporary or overlapping traditions, including early unifacial assemblages, and the Fishtail and Paiján complexes. Recent study of El Palto phasesites in the lower Jequetepeque Valley focused on evaluating the relationships between these assemblages and the populations who manufactured them. The results of this study indicate a greater degree of intratype diversity among point types than previously recognized and call into question the descendant relationships between Fishtail and Paiján. The results from several long-term regional studies are combined with these analyses to provide new insight regarding early settlement and technological change in this region of the Central Andes.En la costa norte del Perú, las tradiciones líticas más tempranas documentadas se conocen, en conjunto, como la fase El Palto (~14.200-9600 cal AP). Esta fase, que abarca desde el Pleistoceno Final hasta el Holoceno Temprano, contiene evidencias de varias tradiciones contemporáneas o que coinciden parcialmente en el tiempo, lo que incluye conjuntos unifaciales tempranos y los complejos Cola de Pescado y Paiján. Un reciente estudio de los sitios de la fase El Palto en el valle bajo de Jequetepeque se enfocó enla evaluación de los vínculos entre estos conjuntos y las poblaciones que los produjeron. Los resultados obtenidos indican un grado mayor de diversidad tipológica entre los tipos de puntas que lo que previamente se había reconocido y cuestionan las relaciones tecnológicas entre las tradiciones líticas Paiján y Cola de Pescado. Asimismo, los resultados de varios estudios regionales de largoplazo se combinan con estos análisis con el objeto de proporcionar una nueva comprensión acerca del asentamiento temprano y el cambio tecnológico en esta región de los Andes Centrales.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation thesis deals with the measurement of insulation resistance for rotating electrical machines and polarization indices calculated from them. The first part contains a short theoretical introduction, methods of measurement and basic formulas for calculations. The second part discusses the results obtained in laboratory measurements in both the model and the real coil of high voltage machine. There are also elucidated some of the principles and causes of some phenomena with which the measurement of insulation resistance is encountered. The third part deals with the results of measurements on real machines. There are mainly discussed the dependences of insulation resistance and polarization index on the influences that occur in measurements such as temperature measured insulation, moisture in the insulation, but also the influence of measuring instruments on the measured values. It is also expressed how much these factors affect the measurement results. In addition, this part deals with some other influences that have a negative affect on the measurement of insulation resistance. There is processed a new methodology for measuring insulation resistence in the fourth part of this thesis. The need to develop a metodology of measuring is based on the needs of engineering practice, where is considerable inconsistency of measurement in the present time. Measurement, and often performed on the same machine, are not nowadays often comparable, because measurements are not met even the basic rules resulting from the findings of research and development, which were discovered in the last few decades. Measurement of insulation resistance in our nowdays methodology stagnated on the level of the seventies of 20th century. For this reason, we have developed a new methodology of measurement that takes into account all significant influences affecting the measurement. The purpose of the methodology is to ensure full repeatability and comparability of measurements not only on the same machine but on machines of the same type, in optimal cases, the machines of different types. There are the chapters "The objectives of the work" and "Conclusion" the part of the work. A very important chapter is "The contribution of thesis", which summarizes the original results of this work and results, the use of which is expected in engineering practice.

La caractérisation des propriétés optiques de gouttes de combustible aux alentours de la pression critique est un défi. L’objectif de la thèse est de mesurer la taille et l’indice de réfraction de fluides dans des conditions de pression élevée proche du point critique. A cet effet, une installation expérimentale d’injection de gouttes à haute pression a été conçue. La réfractométrie d’arc-en-ciel a été développée et adaptée pour travailler d’abord sur des gouttelettes d’eau et d’éthanol dans le domaine de pression 1 - 40 bar. Des évolutions de leur indice de réfraction avec la pression ont été obtenues. Pour les mesures se rapprochant d’un fluide proche du point critique, l’éthane a été sélectionné car son point critique est à 48,7 bar et 32,2°C. Des mesures de réfraction d’index sur des gouttes liquides d’éthane ont ensuite été réalisées dans le domaine 40 - 46 bar et 18 - 25°C. Une mesure de l’indice de réfraction de gouttes d’éthane donne alors une valeur de 1,255 ± 0.002The characterization of the optical properties of fuel drops around the critical pressure is a challenge. The aim of the thesis is to measure the size and the refractive index of fluids under high pressure conditions close to the critical point. For this purpose, an experimental installation of injection of high-pressure drops has been designed. Rainbow refractometry has been developed and adapted to work first on water and ethanol droplets in the pressure range 1 - 40 bar. Evolutions of their index of refraction with the pressure were obtained. For measurements approaching a fluid near the critical point, ethane was selected because its critical point is 48.7 bar and 32.2 ° C. Index refractive measurements on liquid drops of ethane were then carried out in the range 40 - 46 bar and 18 - 25 ° C. A measurement of the refractive index of ethane drops then gives a value of 1.255 ± 0.002

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MTech (Information Technology))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2019The challenges faced by members of underserved communities in South Africa have frequently been reported in literature. To ameliorate these challenges, different interventions have been introduced both locally and internationally to improve the wellbeing of the members of these communities. One such intervention is the introduction of information and communication technology ICT as a means to close the digital divide and meeting the socio-economic needs of the community. Youth living in these communities are expected to derive more benefit from ICT interventions as they have been reported to be more technology savvy and dependent on technology than the older adults are. However, the failures of ICT interventions deployed by donors have also been reported in literature. Authors have identified several reasons for the failure of ICT interventions, but a lack of consultation with the beneficiaries of this type of intervention is common to many findings. The exclusion of the youth as major beneficiaries of ICT interventions causes a lack of alignment between the interventions deployed for their use and the actual wellbeing needs of the youth in underserved communities. The failure of ICT interventions increases the digital divide and frustrates the good intentions of local and national government as well as international donors to improve the wellbeing of the youth in underserved communities. By using the concept of wellbeing, the study aimed to explore how youth wellbeing indicators can be used to facilitate effective ICT interventions for youth empowerment and development in underserved communities in South Africa. Furthermore, the study aimed todesign an ICT-based artefact to prioritise youth wellbeing indicators in underserved communities in South Africa. The study was implemented through a qualitative research method using a service design strategy that allowed for a participatory research approach and co-design instrument for data collection from the youth living in Grabouw anunderserved community in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Data was collected from 40 youth aged between 15 and 30 at two workshops. Content analysis technique was used to analyse data. Findings from the research show that given the opportunity, the youth are able to determine their social-economic needs. A comprehensive set of wellbeing indicators was developed. Thirteen wellbeing indicators symbolising the issues in the community were prioritised, which are:unemployment, self-image, reaching full potential, family support,access to water, sanitation and electricity,meaning and purpose of life,being healthy,religious practice,educational level,future expectations,freedom of expression,skills to get a job, and access to skills and training. Overall, nine categories of wellbeing indicators were identified; of these, seven are similar to theGlobal Youth Wellbeing Index(GYWI) categories. Three new categories – aspiration, social support, and infrastructure and services – were realised. The three factors are an indication that the Grabouw youth may have special needs different from the global perspective as specified by the GYWI categories. Moreover, the priorities of the wellbeing indicators when compared to the GYWI rating for South Africa differ significantly, which may indicate that the needs of the youth living in underserved communities may vary largelyfrom other youth in the country. Furthermore, an artefact that can be used to prioritise wellbeing indicators was designed. It is important for stakeholders of ICT interventions to embrace participation of the beneficiaries as a means of aligning interventions to their needs. These stakeholders need to seek ways of developing artefacts that address the needs, not limited to health, so that the youth can take advantage of technology to improve their wellbeing on a continuous basis.

Northern Perú’s Colonization and Settlement: Innovation, Technology and Adaptation at Zaña ValleyThis paper discusses the archaeological and paleoecological data for the first people to enter the Zaña Valley and their later development as sedentary horticulturalists. The technical, social and economic implications of these developments in regard to forming the foundations of early Andean civilization are also presented for the Early (ca. 10,000-7500 b.p.) and Middle (ca. 7500-5000 b.p.) Preceramic Periods. We discuss the Paijan, Nanchoc, Pircas and Tierra Blanca cultures in terms of their settlement patterns, bifacial and unifacial lithic technologies, economies, and social organization. The most important site complex is the Nanchoc Mound site, dated between 7200-5000 years ago, where lime seems to have been produced in a separate ritual space for consumption with coca leaves. The broader implications of these cultural transformations are discussed with respect to the importance of the Middle Preceramic Period for understanding the beginnings of central Andean civilization.Se presenta un análisis arqueológico y paleoambiental de los primeros pobladores prehistóricos en el valle de Zaña y las siguientes etapas de desarrollo técnico y económico hacia la vida sedentaria y eventualmente la formación de la base de la civilización andina en la zona desde el Periodo Precerámico Temprano (ca.10.000-7500 a.p) al Periodo Precerámico Medio (ca. 7500-5000 a.p.). Más específicamente, se discuten las culturas de Paiján, Nanchoc, Pircas y Tierra Blanca en términos de los patrones de asentamientos, las tecnologías bifaciales y unifaciales y sus funciones espaciales y temporales, así como la organizacion social. Se destaca un conjunto de sitios precerámicos en la zona de Nanchoc, mejor definido por el yacimiento Montículos de Nanchoc, fechado entre 7200 y 5000 a.p. y su relación a la aparición de una tecnología de produción de cal, posiblemente usada para el consumo de coca, y de un asociado espacio «ritual». Las implicancias más amplias de estos cambios y procesos locales son discutidos en cuanto al valor histórico y científico del Periodo Precerámico Medio para el entendimiento de la base sociocultural de las sociedades complejas en los Andes Centrales.

Full textAbstract:
This paper endeavors to establish some basic points of reference to better understand the early culture-historical dynamics of the Casma Valley. The revised chronology presented here follows the ceramic sequence developed by Peter Fuchs (1990) on the basis of his Cerro Sechín stratigraphy, confirmed and amplified in its early sections by his recent excavations at Sechín Bajo. A systematic review of the different categories of archaeological data reveals many lacunae that still persist in our record. Monumental architecture most clearly expresses the socio-cultural complexity of the ancient Casma Valley polities. It first appeared during the Sechín Period (3400-1650 cal BC) which is part of the Late Archaic (Preceramic), followed during the Early Formative by the Moxeke Period (1650-1400 cal BC) and the Haldas Period (1400-1000 cal BC) with their diagnostic ceramics. Within this timeframe, some hypotheses formulated by Shelia and Thomas Pozorski (2006) about the socio-political transactions between major Casma Valley sites are evaluated in the light of the archaeological evidence. The tradition of monumental adobe architecture that goes back to about 3400 cal BC in the Casma Valley, reminds us of analogous developments in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic of the ancient Near East. There still remains the challenge to adapt Archaic Period terminology in the Andes to those new discoveries (Kaulicke 1994, 2007: 17-18).Las investigaciones recientes permiten esbozar un nuevo cuadro cronológico del valle de Casma gracias a la secuencia cerámica elaborada por Peter Fuchs (1990) sobre la base de la estratigrafía de Cerro Sechín, confirmada y ampliada en su parte temprana por los descubrimientos en Sechín Bajo. Al mismo tiempo, el recuento sistemático categorizado de los datos revelará muchas lagunas en el registro arqueológico actual. El avance sociocultural de los habitantes del valle de Casma se expresa, más claramente, en su arquitectura monumental. Se da a conocer, primero, en el Periodo Sechín (3400-1650 a.C.), que forma parte del Arcaico Tardío y Final, seguido durante el Formativo Temprano —según los contextos cerámicos diagnósticos—, por los periodos Moxeke (1650-1400 a.C.) y Haldas (1400-1000 a.C. [calib.]). Dentro de este marco se tratará de evaluar, a la luz de las evidencias arqueológicas, algunos desarrollos sociopolíticos bosquejados por Shelia y Thomas Pozorski (2006) como si fuesen reales. La presencia de una arquitectura monumental de adobe que se remonta hacia 3400 a.C. (calib.) en el valle de Casma, hace recordar los desarrollos análogos del Neolítico Precerámico (Pre-Pottery Neolithic) del Cercano Oriente. Permanece pendiente el reto de estructurar una terminología conveniente para el Periodo Arcaico andino, de acuerdo con los nuevos descubrimientos (Kaulicke 1994; 2009: 17-18).

2014Aim: The aim of this study was to record the values of CTDIw and DLP displayed on the Computed Tomography (CT) scanner monitors of patients undergoing CT examinations of the head as Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRL) for dose optimisation in Northern Nigeria. Background: A brain CT scan is the most common CT examination performed, and this modality is recognized as delivering a high dose. CT, therefore, contributes significantly to the total collective effective dose to the population. Elimination of unnecessary or unproductive radiation exposure is necessary. To achieve this, practitioners must adhere to the principles of the justification of practices, and optimisation of radiation protection. Furthermore, the development of DRLs for the local context is advised. These reference doses are a guide to the expected exposure dose from a procedure and are useful as an investigation tool to identify incidences where patient doses are unusually high. Methodology: The study was conducted in three radiology departments with CT centres in Northern Nigeria. Data was collected, using a purposive sampling technique, from 60 consenting adult participants (weighing 70 ±3 kg) that had brain CT scans on seventh generations 4&16-slice GE and 16-slice Philips CT scanners. Prior to commencement of the study the CT scanners were certified by the medical physicists. For each brain scan, patient information, exposure factors, weighted computed tomography dose index (CTDIw), volume computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol) and dose length product (DLP) values were recorded. The data were analysed using SPSS version (16) statistical software. The mean, standard deviation and third quartile values of the CTDIw and DLP were calculated. An inter-comparison of the measured doses from the three research sites was conducted. A combined dose for the three centres was calculated, and compared with the reported data from the international communities where there are established DRLs. Results: The mean CTDIw and DLP values were: centre A (88 mGy and 713 mGy.cm), centre B (68 mGy and 1098 mGy.cm), and centre C (70 mGy and 59 mGy.cm). Comparison of CTDIw and DLP for the scanners of the same manufacturers showed statistically significant differences (p=0.003) and (p=0.03) respectively. In the case of the scanners of a different model but the same number of slices, the comparison of DLP was statistically significant (p=0.005) while no significant difference was noted in the measured CTDIw. Third quartile values of the cumulative doses of CTDIw and DLP, for Northern Nigeria were determined as 77 mGy and 985 mGy.cm respectively. Conclusion: The study has established Local DRLs (LDRLs) which are significantly higher than most of the reported data in the literature. Also dose variation between centres was noted. Optimization is thus recommended. Keywords: Head Imaging, Radiation Dose, Dose optimization, Computed Tomography, Local Diagnostic Reference Levels, Radiation Protection

Full textAbstract:
After the pioneering work of Julio C. Tello, Frédéric Engel and John H. Rowe on the Formative and Preceramic periods, few advances have been made in the investigation of early cultural developments on the south coast of Perú. This is especially true for the Río Grande de Nasca drainage, where there is a lack of data regarding early human occupation. The Nasca-Palpa Archaeological Project aims to reconstruct the human occupation of the Palpa valleys during all Prehispanic periods. In this article we present a summary of the evidence for the Paracas culture by presenting data recovered over the past ten years from several sites inthe Palpa valleys for the Initial Period and the Archaic period. We describe the settlement patterns, architecture, and funerary practices, as well as other cultural manifestations of the early periods, for instance, petroglyphs, geoglyphs, ceramics and other types of artifacts. We also carry out a preliminary reconstruction of the prehispanic settlement history of the Palpa valleys, beginning with the Middle Archaic period (ca. 3800 BC) and ending with the Inka period. More than 150 radiocarbon dates are used to establish a chronology of the different periods of human settlement in the Palpa valleys.Después de los trabajos pioneros de Julio C. Tello, Frédéric Engel y John H. Rowe sobre el Periodo Formativo y Precerámico, no se han dado muchos avances en la investigación de los desarrollos tempranos en la costa sur del Perú. Para la cuenca del río Grande de Nasca, en especial, existen pocos datos sobre la ocupación humana en los periodos tempranos. El Proyecto Arqueológico Nasca-Palpa tiene como objetivo investigar este desarrollo en los valles de Palpa durante todas las etapas de la época prehispánica. En este artículo se presenta un resumen de las evidencias sobre la época Paracas, el Periodo Inicial y el Periodo Arcaico recuperadas en esa región en los últimos 10 años. Se describen patrones de asentamiento, rasgos arquitectónicos y patrones funerarios, así como otras manifestaciones culturales, como petroglifos, geoglifos, cerámica, entre otros tipos de hallazgos. Hasta el momento se ha podido reconstruir la historia ocupacional de los valles de Palpa desde el Periodo Arcaico Medio (aproximadamente 3800 a.C.) hasta el periodo inka. Más de 150 fechados de radiocarbono permiten respaldar la cronología de los diferentes momentos de ocupación de los valles de Palpa con fechas calendáricas.

Full textAbstract:
Ett transformatorfel kan få stora ekonomiska konsekvenser och påverka ett elkraftsystems driftsäkerhet. Genom att övervaka en transformators tillstånd kan haverier och avbrott undvikas. Tillståndsövervakning möjliggör även att förebyggande underhåll kan planeras effektivt. Det här arbetet har undersökt tillgängliga diagnostikmetoder och övervakningstekniker för tillståndsbedömning av transformatorer. Tillgänglig felstatistik för transformatorer har studerats ingående för att förstå vilka fel som kan uppstå i en transformator och i vilken grad de förekommer. Eftersom felen har olika konsekvenser för transformatorns fortsatta drift har dessa undersökts. Befintliga metoder för att upptäcka fel har dokumenterats. Detta har utförts genom att studera tillgänglig litteratur och via intervjuer med företag som tillverkar övervakningsutrustning för transformatorer. Övervakningsmetoderna har jämförts med avseende på kostnad, livslängd och noggrannhet. Utifrån dessa analyser har en rekommendation tagits fram över vilka övervakningsmetoder som är mest lämpade för Svenska Kraftnät. Det finns verktyg för att kvantifiera resultaten från övervakningsmetoder till lättolkad information. Ett sådant är hälsoindexet, som komprimerar data från olika mätningar, till ett enskilt värde som representerar en komponents tillstånd. En fallstudie har utförts där tre transformatorers tillstånd under perioden 2002–2015 har undersökts med ett befintligt hälsoindex. Resultatet visar att hälsoindex kan utnyttjas för att indikera transformatorernas tillstånd. Nackdelen med hälsoindexet som användes är att indexet är fortsatt högt oavsett kvaliteten på isolationsmaterialet. Därför föreslås en alternativ modell för en hälsoindexberäkning, i vilken pappersåldringen beaktas i större utsträckning.A transformer fault could affect the reliability of a power system and have serious economic consequences. Therefore there is an increasing demand among electrical utilities to assess the actual condition of their transformers and hence detect faults before they occur. Condition monitoring has the potential to reduce operating costs and improve the reliability of operation. The aim of this master thesis has been to investigate available diagnostic measurement techniques that can assess the condition of power transformers. Transformer failure statistics has been studied in order to understand what different faults that can occur and to which extent they appear. The consequences of different faults have been investigated. Available measurement techniques were coupled with what faults they can detect. The diagnostic measurement techniques have also been compared in regard to cost, lifetime and accuracy. The comparison resulted in a recommendation over which measurement techniques that are most suitable for the Swedish transmission system operator, Svenska Kraftnät. There is a need among electrical utilities of economic and technical justifications for optimal investment and maintenance decisions. One available asset management technique that enables this is the health index. A health index is a tool that combines available measurement data from operating observations, field inspections and laboratory testing into an objective and quantitative index. The index provides information about the overall condition of an asset. A case study has been conducted where an available health index was used to estimate the condition of three transformers. The results indicate that the health index presents an efficient way to represent the condition of transformers. The disadvantage of the used index is that it implies a good condition even when the quality of the transformer insulation paper is poor. An alternative health index is therefore proposed where the paper insulation quality has a larger impact on the index.

Full textAbstract:
Monitoring biophysical variables at a global scale over long time periods is vital to address the climatechange and food security challenges. Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a structure variable giving a measure of the canopysurface for radiation interception and canopy-atmosphere interactions. LAI is an important variable in manyecosystem models and it has been recognized as an Essential Climate Variable. This thesis aims to provide globaland continuous estimates of LAI from satellite observations in near-real time according to user requirements to beused for diagnostic and prognostic evaluations of vegetation state and functioning. There are already someavailable LAI products which show however some important discrepancies in terms of magnitude and somelimitations in terms of continuity and consistency. This thesis addresses these important issues. First, the nature ofthe LAI estimated from these satellite observations was investigated to address the existing differences in thedefinition of products. Then, different temporal smoothing and gap filling methods were analyzed to reduce noiseand discontinuities in the time series mainly due to cloud cover. Finally, different methods for near real timeestimation of LAI were evaluated. Such comparison assessment as a function of the level of noise and gaps werelacking for LAI.Results achieved within the first part of the thesis show that the effective LAI is more accurately retrievedfrom satellite data than the actual LAI due to leaf clumping in the canopies. Further, the study has demonstratedthat multi-view observations provide only marginal improvements on LAI retrieval. The study also found that foroptimal retrievals the size of the uncertainty envelope over a set of possible solutions to be approximately equal tothat in the reflectance measurements. The results achieved in the second part of the thesis found the method withlocally adaptive temporal window, depending on amount of available observations and Climatology as backgroundestimation to be more robust to noise and missing data for smoothing, gap-filling and near real time estimationswith satellite time series.

Full textAbstract:
Many continuous medical tests often rely on a threshold for diagnosis. There are two sequential testing strategies of interest: Believe the Positive (BP) and Believe the Negative (BN). BP classifies a patient positive if either the first test is greater than a threshold θ1 or negative on the first test and greater than θ2 on the second test. BN classifies a patient positive if the first test is greater than a threshold θ3 and greater than θ4 on the second test. Threshold pairs θ = (θ1, θ2) or (θ3, θ4), depending on strategy, are defined as optimal if they maximized GYI = Se + r(Sp – 1). Of interest is to determine if these optimal threshold, or optimal operating point (OOP), estimates are “good” when calculated from a sample. The methods proposed in this dissertation derive formulae to estimate θ assuming tests follow a binormal distribution, using the Newton-Raphson algorithm with ridging. A simulation study is performed assessing bias, root mean square error, percentage of over estimation of Se/Sp, and coverage of simultaneous confidence intervals and confidence regions for sets of population parameters and sample sizes. Additionally, OOPs are compared to the traditional empirical approach estimates. Bootstrapping is used to estimate the variance of each optimal threshold pair estimate. The study shows that parameters such as the area under the curve, ratio of standard deviations of disease classification groups within tests, correlation between tests within a disease classification, total sample size, and allocation of sample size to each disease classification group were all influential on OOP estimation. Additionally, the study shows that this method is an improvement over the empirical estimate. Equations for researchers to use in estimating total sample size and SCI width are also developed. Although the models did not produce high coefficients of determination, they are a good starting point for researchers when designing a study. A pancreatic cancer dataset is used to illustrate the OOP estimation methodology for sequential tests.
