Temizer, Seda. "Reading Architectural Space Through A Staged Event." Master's thesis, METU, 2004. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/3/1218379/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This study is an inquiry into the architectural aspects of stage space, which is believed to be the materialization of visual relationships, with the claim that it is also the best illustration of the proposition that architectural discourse is affected by the changes in visual culture. The study is based on the assumption that changes in the conceptualization of architectural space have also been influenced from the shifts in the field of vision, which are the consequences of the changes in the social, political and economical circumstances as well as the developments in science and technology.
Within the acknowledgement of three major shifts in the field of vision that have been identified by Jonathan Crary, the study focuses on a reading and assessment of twentieth century developments that differ from the traditional conception of space and ways of spatial representation. Being a key to reconsider architectural space production, the outcomes of these developments are read through the construction of stage and performance spaces.
Stage space possesses knowledge about the making of
architecture. This study is an attempt to demonstrate how stage space is in relation to or anticipates changes in conception of architecture. Because of its instant nature and flexibility, stage space can be seen as a tool for making experiments for possible changes in the conception of architectural space.

CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICOCom a evolução da Internet e o crescente sucesso de ambientes Web como plataformas genéricas de aplicação, expandiram-se as necessidades de integração e coordenação de componentes de software heterogêneos e autônomos. Os requisitos específicos deste contexto impulsionaram uma nova leva de trabalhos sobre mecanismos de coordenação, dentre os quais o espaço de tuplas reativo. Neste trabalho apresentamos LuaTS, um espaço de tuplas reativo com uma dinâmica de execução orientada a eventos e com suporte apenas a chamadas assíncronas. Desenvolvido em Lua, o sistema incorpora funcionalidades diferenciadas que permitem ao programador expandir a sua semântica básica e flexibilizam o processo de busca e recuperação de tuplas. Descrevemos a implementação de LuaTS e exploramos suas particularidades através de alguns exemplos, incluindo problemas clássicos de programação concorrente e distribuída. Conforme ilustramos, os benefícios do desacoplamento proporcionado pelo modelo de espaço de tuplas, aliados à dinâmica de programação orientada a eventos, simplificam a sincronização inter-processos e geram um fluxo de execução mais claro, reduzindo em muitos casos o esforço associado ao desenvolvimento de aplicações distribuídas.
The widespread use of the Internet along with the rapid growth and acceptance of the Web as a general application platform impose new requirements associated with the integration and coordination of autonomous and heterogeneous software components. The specific needs of this context led to the development of new coordination mechanisms, among which the reactive tuple space. In this work we present LuaTS, a reactive, event oriented tuple space that supports only asynchronous calls. The system, developed in Lua, provides functionalities that allow programmers to extend its basic semantics and also support a more flexible tuple search and retrieval process. We describe the implementation of LuaTS and explore its features through different examples that include classic concurrent and distributed programming problems. We show that the uncoupling provided by the tuple space model, together with an event oriented programming dynamics,simplify inter- process synchronization and yield a clear execution stream, improving, in many cases, the development process of distributed applications.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation follows two complementary areas
of investigation.
First, the study explores place making in the industrial
area of Pretoria West. Second, investigating Pilditch
Stadium and the adjacent Tshwane showgrounds, the
project critiques and questions the mono-functional
nature of the existing sports and event facilities.
Pilditch stadium, located in Pretoria West, currently
functions, on occasion, as a "transient space for sport
fans and sportsmen/-women" (Gunter 2011:76). When
the stadium is not used, it becomes a non-place and
returns to an introverted and isolated state. Similarly
the Tshwane Showgrounds, located next to Pilditch
Stadium, only function as temporary event space. In
an attempt to expose the usually introverted aspects
of sporting events within Pilditch Stadium into the
public terrain, the intention is to create places for
everyday rituals that can be used by locals, as well as
place for larger sporting events that will bring visitors
from further afield.
This proposal will attempt to introduce a new state;
a permanent civic space accompanied by production
spaces. The aim is to diversify and enhance the
functions on site, in order to celebrate the 'everyday'
and to re-imagine the site as a public place.
Although this dissertation proposes an urban design
framework for the Pretoria West precinct, the focus
of this dissertation will be on the North-western edge
of Pilditch stadium itself. The proposed building
intervention will explore place making and event
space within the stadium precinct.Hierdie verhandeling volg twee kompliment?re areas van ondersoek. Eerstens, ondersoek die studie die plekskepping in die industri?le gebied van Pretoria. Tweedens word Pilditch Stadion en die aangrensende Tshwane Skougronde ondersoek. Die projek behels 'n kritiese bespreking en bevraagtekening van die enkelfunksionele aard van die huidige sport-en funksiefasiliteite. Pilditch Stadion, gele? in Pretoria-Wes, funksioneer tans op 'n per geleentheid basis as 'n "transient space for sport fans and sportmen/ women" (Gunter 2011:76). Wanneer die stadium nie ingebruik is nie, word dit 'n nie-ruimte en keer terug na 'n staat van introversie en isolasie. Die Tshwane Skougronde, langs Pilditch Stadion, funksioneer soortgelyk ook slegs as 'n tydelike funksieruimte. Daar word gepoog om die tans introverte aspekte van die sportfunksies binne die Pilditch Stadion aan die publieke terrein bloot te stel. Met die inagneming van hierdie poging, is die bedoeling om ruimtes te skep vir die alledaagse rituele van plaaslike inwoners asook 'n plek vir groter sportbyeenkomste wat besoekers van verder weg sal lok. Hierdie dissertasie poog om 'n nuwe werklikheid te skep; deur die voorstelling van 'n nuwe toestand van permanente burgerlike ruimtes wat vergesel word deur produksieruimtes. Die doelwit is om die funksies van die perseel te diversifiseer en te verbeter om sodoende die "elke dag" te vier en om die perseel te her-verbeel as 'n publieke terrein Alhoewel die dissertasie 'n stedelike ontwerp raamwerk vir die Pretoria-Wes buurt voorstel, is die fokus van die dissertasie die Noord-Westelike rand van die Pilditch Stadion self. Die voorgestelde gebou-ingryping sal die voorstel om spasie asook 'n funksieruimte binne die Stadion buurt te skep, verken.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an examination of the significance of time and temporal phenomena in the conception and construction of the built environment. It began as a question regarding the aging and life-span of contemporary buildings, in contrast with those that have at present survived long enough to earn designation as \'historic\' buildings.The term \'temporal phenomena\' is defined here as sensory experiences which make the passage of time accessible and meaningful to those interacting with the built environment.
Le Corbusier wrote that an original intent of painting was to record, to create permanent evidence of events and things that passed away with time and were forgotten, or couldn\'t be seen later. He suggests that the camera is a much better tool for this, and so painting has lost part of its purpose. Buildings and cities have always had the effect of retaining memory and creating cultural meanings. Cultural reliance on continuous improvements in environmental and building technologies have obviated the building\'s ancient place as a datum through which human beings understand the passage of time. And perhaps it is the loss of that sacred duty that leads to short-lived, disposable buildings, and the proliferation of placeless-ness in contemporary environments.
A design for a brewery on the banks of the Potomac River in Alexandria, Virginia became the vehicle to explore strategies for making time meaningful and present through the physical reality of the building, the brewing process, and the interrelated lives of the brewer and the city.

O desdobramento da obra de arte no espaço-tempo da vida pode ser vista em muitos trabalhos das vanguardas moderna e contemporânea. A realização desses trabalhos se faz na simultaneidade dos eventos do mundo, sendo o acaso e a indeterminação elementos essenciais no acontecer da obra. Assim, a obra de arte é aberta ao campo de possibilidades próprio à aleatoriedade da realidade tangível, sendo a sua forma um processo em constante modificação. As significações, então, se instauram na multiplicidade dos eventos, em que a pretensão de se ter uma forma encerrada se dissolve no constante devir. E isso faz dessas obras um acontecimento, devido a sua realização na superfície da espacialidade-temporal. A partir da Musique d’ameublement de Erik Satie, de cerca de 1917-1920, e de Untitled (mirrored cubes) de Robert Morris, de 1965, buscaremos compreender a noção de acontecimento instaurada por esses dois trabalhos, assim como será discutida essa mesma noção deflagrada em outros artistas que de alguma forma se relacionam com os dois citados, como, por exemplo, em John Cage. E sendo a música de Satie feita para ser tocada em ambientes pertencentes ao cotidiano, entre conversas e ações corriqueiras, e os cubos espelhados de Morris acontecerem durante a experiência do observador, enquanto circundando, a arte se realiza, então, como um acontecimento, em que seus desdobramentos, agora, ficam por conta do acaso.
The unfolding of the work of art in space-time of life can be seen in many modern and contemporary avant garde works. The completion of these works takes place in the simultaneity of events in the world, being chance and uncertainty key elements in the outcome of the work. Thus, the artwork is open to the field of possibilities to the randomness of tangible reality, and its shape in a constant change. The meanings, then, established themselves in the multitude of events, where the desire to have a closed form is dissolved in constant becoming. And that makes these works an event, due to its realization on the surface of spatiality-temporality. From Musique d ameublement of Erik Satie, circa 1917-1920, and Untitled (Mirrored Cubes) by Robert Morris, 1965, we will try to understand the concept of event introduced by these two works, as will be discussed that concept triggered by other artists, which somehow relate to the two cited, for example, John Cage. And being the music of Satie made to be played in environments belonging to daily life, between conversations and actions occurring, and the mirrored cubes of Morris occur during the experience of the observer, while circling, art is performed, then, as an event in which its developments now are subject to chance.

Full textAbstract:
Les composants mémoires sont omniprésents en électronique : ils sont utilisés pour stocker des données, et sont présents dans tous les champs d’application - industriel, automobile, aérospatial, grand public et télécommunications, entre autres. Les technologies mémoires ont connu une évolution constante depuis la création de la première mémoire vive statique (Static Random-Access Memory, SRAM) à la fin des années 60. Les besoins toujours plus importants en termes de performance, de capacité et d’économie d’énergie poussent à une miniaturisation constante de ces composants : les mémoires modernes contiennent des circuits dont certaines dimensions sont de l’ordre du nanomètre.L’un des inconvénients de cette miniaturisation fut un accroissement de la sensibilité de ces composants aux radiations. Depuis la détection des premiers effets singuliers (Single-Event Effects, SEE) dans un satellite à la fin des années 70, et la reproduction du phénomène en laboratoire, les fabricants de composants mémoires et les ingénieurs en électronique se sont intéressés au durcissement aux radiations. Au début, les besoins en stockage pour des applications civiles et militaires – comme le développement d’accélérateurs de particules, de réacteurs nucléaires et d’engins spatiaux – créa un marché pour les composants durcis aux radiations. Ce marché s’est considérablement réduit avec la fin de la Guerre Froide et la perte d’intérêt des gouvernements, et après quelques années, les ingénieurs durent se tourner vers des composants commerciaux (Commercial Off-The-Shelf Components, COTS).Les composants COTS n’étant pas conçus pour résister aux radiations, chaque composant doit être évalué avant d’être utilisé dans des systèmes dont la fiabilité est critique. Ce processus d’évaluation est appelé Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA). Les tests aux radiations des composants commerciaux sont devenus une pratique standardisée (en particulier dans l’industrie aérospatiale). Ces composants sont irradiés à l’aide d’accélérateurs de particules et de sources radioactives, afin d’évaluer leur sensibilité, de prédire leur taux d’erreur dans un environnement radiatif donné, et ainsi de déterminer leur adéquation pour une mission donnée.Cette étude porte sur le test de composants mémoires aux effets singuliers. Les objectifs, difficultés et limitations des tests aux radiations sont présentés, et des méthodes d’analyse de données sont proposées ; l’identification et l’étude des modes de défaillance sont utilisées pour approfondir les connaissances sur les composants testés. Cette étude est basée sur de nombreuses campagnes de test aux radiations, étalées sur une période de quatre ans, pendant lesquelles des mémoires de différentes technologies – mémoires vives statique (SRAM), ferroélectrique (FRAM), magnétorésistive (MRAM) et mémoire flash – furent irradiées avec des faisceaux de muons, neutrons, protons et ions lourds. Les données générées ont également servi au développement d’un CubeSat développé conjointement par le LIRMM et le Centre Spatial Universitaire de Montpellier, MTCube, dont la mission est l’irradiation de ces mêmes composants en milieu spatial. Les concepts sous-jacents liés aux radiations, aux environnements radiatifs, à l’architecture des composants mémoires et aux tests aux radiations sont introduits dans les premiers chapitres, et les avancées scientifiques de cette étude sont présentées dans le dernier chapitreElectronic memories are ubiquitous components in electronic systems: they are used to store data, and can be found in all manner of industrial, automotive, aerospace, telecommunication and entertainment systems. Memory technology has seen a constant evolution since the first practical dynamic Random-Access Memories (dynamic RAMs) were created in the late 60's. The demand for ever-increasing performance and capacity and decrease in power consumption was met thanks to a steady miniaturization of the component features: modern memory devices include elements barely a few tens of atomic layers thick and a few hundred of atomic layers wide.The side effect of this constant device miniaturization was an increase in the sensitivity of devices to radiation. Since the first radiation-induced single-event effects (SEEs) were identified in satellites in the late 70’s and particle-induced memory upsets were replicated in laboratory tests, radiation hardness has been a concern for computer memory manufacturers and for systems designers as well. In the early days, the need for data storage in radiation-rich environments, e.g. nuclear facilities, particle accelerators and space, primarily for military use, created a market for radiation-hardened memory components, capable of withstanding the effects of radiation. This market dwindled with the end of the Cold War and the loss of government interest, and in a matter of years, the shortage of available radiation-hard components led system designers to turn to so-called Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components.Since COTS devices are not designed with radiation hardness in mind, each COTS component must be assessed before it can be included in a system where reliability is important – a process known as Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA). This has led to the emergence of radiation testing as a standard practice in the industry (and in the space industry in particular). Irradiation tests with particle accelerators and radioactive sources are performed to estimate a component’s radiation-induced failure rate in a given radiation environment, and thus its suitability for a given mission.The present work focuses on SEE testing of memory components. It presents the requirements, difficulties and shortcomings of radiation testing, and proposes methods for radiation test data processing; the detection and study of failure modes is used to gain insight on the tested components. This study is based on data obtained over four years on several irradiation campaigns, where memory devices of different technologies (static RAMs, ferroelectric RAM, magnetoresistive RAM, and flash) were irradiated with proton, heavy-ion, neutron and muon beams. The yielded data also supported the development of MTCube, a CubeSat picosatellite developed jointly by the Centre Spatial Universitaire (CSU) and LIRMM in Montpellier, whose mission is to carry out in-flight testing on the same memory devices. The underlying concepts regarding radiation, radiation environments, radiation-matter interactions, memory component architecture and radiation testing will be introduced in the first chapters, while the academic advances which were made during this study are presented in the final chapter

Full textAbstract:
This work has extended an existing Aurora protocol for high-speed serial I/O between FPGAs to provide greater fault recovery in the presence of high-energy radiation. To improve on the Aurora protocol, additional resets that affect larger portions of the system were used. Detection for additional error modes that occurred but were not detected by the Aurora protocol was designed. Radiation testing was performed on the Aurora protocol with the additional mitigation hardware. The test gathered large amounts of data on the various error modes of the Aurora protocol and how the additional mitigation circuitry affected the system. The test results showed that the addition of the recovery circuitry greatly enhanced the Aurora protocol's ability to recover from errors. The recovery circuit recovered from all but 0.01% of errors that the Aurora protocol could not. The recovery circuit further increased the availability of the transmission link by proactively applying resets at much shorter intervals than used in previous testing. This quick recovery caused the recovery mechanism to fix some errors that may have recovered automatically with enough time. However, the system still showed an increase in performance, and unrecoverable errors were reduced 100x. The estimated unrecoverable error rate of the system is 5.9E-07 in geosynchronous orbit. The bit error rate of the enhanced system was 8.47754E-015, an order of magnitude improvement.

Esta tese de doutorado reflete sobre a possibilidade de existência de um campo de mobilidade para a ação crítica da arquitetura no mundo contemporâneo, marcado por consensos nas esferas social, econômica, política e cultural. O trabalho toma como noções fundamentais para as suas proposições os termos espaço e evento (e noções que eles ativam: experiência, sujeito, corpo, tempo), a partir dos quais lança as seguintes hipóteses. A primeira, a de que a noção de evento, segundo a filosofia de Alain Badiou, traria abertura para investigações críticas sobre o projeto e práticas de espacialização na arquitetura contemporânea. E a segunda, a de que esta noção levaria à reconsideração da relação entre estética e política no campo da arquitetura. O trabalho toma como seu ponto de partida a sistematização e problematização da teoria crítica de arquitetura de Bernard Tschumi baseada na relação espaço-evento. Num segundo momento, procura elucidar como uma certa noção de evento foi apropriada pela esfera cultural contemporânea e apresentar as lógicas com que ele aparece não só nesta esfera, mas em uma arquitetura que extensamente tem se transformado em sua correlata. A análise das duas concepções anteriores da relação espaço-evento sinaliza a necessidade de investigação de outros campos de ação crítica para a arquitetura e mesmo para a própria relação espaço-evento. Realizamos num terceiro momento, a proposição da arquitetura (dos processos de espacialização e das espacialidades que estes engendram) como espaço eventural, tendo como mediação o pensamento do filósofo francês contemporâneo Alain Badiou sobre o evento e mais especificamente sobre o evento político e o espaço no qual este toma lugar.This thesis reflects over the possibility of the existence of a mobility field for architectural critical practice in the contemporary world, defined by agreements in social, economic, politics and cultural spheres. The study takes as fundamental notions for its propositions the terms space and event (and the notions that they activate: experience, subject, body, time), and from these aspects the following hypotheses emerged. The first is the notion of event, from Alain Badiou philosophy, could open up critical investigations about the design and spatialization practices in contemporary architecture. And the second hypothesis is that the mentioned notion could conduct to the reconsideration of the relation between aesthetics and politics in the field of architecture. The framework of the study assumes as its point of departure the systematization and problematization of the critical theory of architecture from Bernard Tschumi based on the space-event relation. In its second moment, the thesis aims to elucidate how a certain notion of event has been apropriated by the contemporary cultural sphere and to present the logics as it operates not only in this sphere, but in a type of architecture that extensivelly has been transformed in its correlate. The analyses of the two previous conceptions of the space-event relation indicate the need for the investigation of other fields for critical action in architecture, and as well for the space-event relation itself. In a third moment, this study proposes the architecture (the spatialization processes and the spatialities that they engender) as evental space, establishing as mediation the thought about the event of the contemporary french philosopher Alain Badiou, and more specifically about the political event and the space on which takes place.

Full textAbstract:
Infrastructure continues to perpetuate the effects of splintering urbanism in South African cities. Where apartheid planning policies such as the group areas act used infrastructure as a mechanism of social organisation, this design dissertation proposes using architecture as social infrastructure to transcend these sociotechnical divides. The concept of the sociotechnical denotes the synergy of a city's infrastructural systems and its social life. In this design dissertation this idea is explored at various scales: at the urban level, through a development strategy that spatialises unsafe public open land; at the architectural scale, through surface articulation and interfacing with urban infrastructure; and at the technical level, through building performance analysis and technical design development in support of architectural goals. The project uses a distributed programme that stretches across communities in order to socialise the existing urban infrastructure of a pedestrian bridge. By leveraging the social significance of a local football club, the project proposes a social programme around the idea of a football clubhouse as a programmatic anchor. In reacting to urban infrastructure, the idea of imageability and presence are important considerations. These concepts enable youth to positively engage with the architecture, and allows the building to convey its purpose and programmatic intent, thereby creating a strong social interface with its users. Sociotechnical architecture is considered as an urban armature that socialises and spatialises urban infrastructure. The architecture therefore seeks the minimal amount of fixity to support a variety of flexible events surrounding sports and recreation activities. This is achieved through a selection of robust materials used in horizontal surfaces of social purpose, and the combination of structure, materiality and geometry to create a series of vertical surfaces of social presence and architectural imageability. The result is a strategic arrangement of architectural interventions deployed across a large urban scheme. By distributing the architecture across urban infrastructure, the project connects two communities and presents an architectural response to splintering urbanism.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis describes the design and implementation of an extended knowledge-based modeling and simulation environment, in which the management of continuous-time models in DEVS-SCHEME is realized to meet the requirements of the modeling and simulation of a robot-managed laboratory aboard the forthcoming Space Station Freedom. The modular hierarchical modeling scheme is preserved in the continuous models by using DYMOLA, a continuous modeling language, as a bridge between the abstracted DEVS models and the continuous simulation language code (in DESIRE). Through operations on the System Entity Structure (SES), a knowledge representation scheme, models at different granularity levels are generated. Time-windows can be obtained by manipulating a pruned SES. These time windows can be used to generate an equivalent discrete-event model at a coarser granularity. Therefore, an event-based intelligent control strategy can be realized in this knowledge-based multi-facetted modeling environment. Continuous-time and discrete-event modeling and simulation can be merged with AI techniques.

This dissertation explores the creation of a space that highlights culture and heritage through the study, documentation and expression of oral language. The space is within an established urban environment, responsive to its vibrant physical, historical and social African context. Pretoria is a complex construct of two different spatial perceptions; built by a society from european heritage but now used mostly by people with an african heritage who were excluded from the urban development processes until recently. The laws and systems used today are still based on european urban ideals and thereby spaces keep being created from a spatial perspective different to that of the actual city user who perceives space from a communal point of view. The focus on individual ownership needs to change to take advantage of the urban opportunities and complex relations that exist in the city. Democratic, non-prescriptive spaces that celebrate the community over the individual are created by focusing on spatial experience and appropriate contextual and social responses, rather than on creating aesthetically appealling objects in space. Such spaces will be adopted into the flows and connections of the city encouraging the users to engage with them and turning them into temporal and used, event spaces. The city therefore emerges as a backdrop to the stage of life.Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2009.

Full textAbstract:
Space radiation is significantly harmful to electronic Components. The operating time, duration and orbit of the space mission are affected by the characteristic of the radiation environment. The aging and the performance of the electronic components are modified by radiation. The performance of the space systems such as electronic units, sensors, power and power subsystem units, batteries, payload equipments, communication units, remote sensing instruments, data handling units, externally located units,
and propulsion subsystem units is determined by the properly functioning of various electronic systems. Such systems are highly sensitive against space radiation.
The space radiation can cause damage to electronic components or functional failure on the electronics. A precisely methodology is needed to ensure that space radiation is not a threat on the functionality and performance of the electronics during their operational lives. This methodology is called as &rdquoRadiation Hardness Assurance&rdquo
. In this thesis, the hardening of electronics against space radiation is discussed. This thesis describes the space radiation environments, physical mechanisms, effects of space radiation, models of the space radiation environment, simulation of the Total Ionizing Dose, and &rdquo

Full textAbstract:
System dynamics (SD) simulation models are differential equation models that often contain a complex network of relationships between variables. These models are widely used, but have a number of limitations. SD models cannot represent individual entities, or model the stochastic behaviour of these individuals. In addition, model parameters are often not observable and so values of these are based on expert opinion, rather than being derived directly from historical data. This thesis aims to address these limitations and hence enhance system dynamics modelling. This research is undertaken in the context of SD models from a major telecommunications provider. In the first part of the thesis we investigate the advantages of adding a discreteevent simulation model to an existing SD model, to form a hybrid model. There are few examples of previous attempts to build models of this type and we therefore provide an account of the approach used and its potential for larger models. Results demonstrate the advantages of the hybrid’s ability to track individuals and represent stochastic variation. In the second part of the thesis we investigate data-driven methods to validate model assumptions and estimate model parameters from historical data. This commences with use of regression based methods to assess core structural assumptions of the organisation’s SD model. This is a complex, highly nonlinear model used by the organisation for service delivery. We then attempt to estimate the parameters of this model, using a modified version of an existing approach based on state-space modelling and Kalman filtering, known as FIMLOF. One such modification, is the use of the unscented Kalman filter for nonlinear systems. After successfully estimating parameters in simulation studies, we attempt to calibrate the model for 59 geographical regions. Results demonstrate the success of our estimated parameters compared to the organisation’s default parameters in replicating historical data.

Includes bibliographical references.The aim of this enquiry is to deepen the understanding of the author's practice as theatre designer, scenographer and visual dramaturge in a postdramatic milieu. This study creates a theoretical frame for a research-led performance that is especially dependent on the release of 'active energies of imagination' (Lehmann, 2006:16). The performance will take the form of a scenographic event,which does not depend on 'the principles of narration and figuration' (Lehmann, 2006:18). Instead it relies on a 'visual dramaturgy ' in which just as in front of a painting, activates the dynamic capacity of the gaze to produce processes, combinations and rhythms on the basis of the data provided by the stage' (Lehmann, 2006:157). The study proposes that the release of 'active energies of imagination' (2006:16) extends beyond the space of the live event, tracking its origin to the interaction between the designer and the materials of her art.

This report briefly describes the special requirements for a computer board for use in space. In particular, component selection and ways of mitigating the soft and hard errors are discussed. Furthermore, one implementation for a low-cost, relatively high performance computer that will work in the harsh space environment is presented. The report is primarily intended for those familiar with digital design, who need an introduction to construction of space or other high-reliability hardware.
As the quality (resolution) of imagers, spectrometers and other data sources in scientific satellite payloads is increasing, there is also an increasing demand for more processing power in order to compress or in other way process the data before transmitting it on the limited bandwidth microwave downlink to Earth. Scientific instruments are usually mission specific and have rather low budget, so there is a need for a powerful computer board that can be used for a number of missions in order to keep the engineering costs down.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the critical importance of project completion timeliness, management practices in place today remain inadequate for addressing the persistent problem of project completion tardiness. Uncertainty has been identified as a contributing factor in late projects. This uncertainty resides in activity duration estimates, unplanned upsetting events, and the potential unavailability of critical resources. This research developed a comprehensive simulation based methodology for conducting quantitative project completion-time risk assessments. The methodology enables project stakeholders to visualize uncertainty or risk, i.e. the likelihood of their project completing late and the magnitude of the lateness, by providing them with a completion time distribution function of their projects. Discrete event simulation is used to determine a project's completion distribution function. The project simulation is populated with both deterministic and stochastic elements. Deterministic inputs include planned activities and resource requirements. Stochastic inputs include activity duration growth distributions, probabilities for unplanned upsetting events, and other dynamic constraints upon project activities. Stochastic inputs are based upon past data from similar projects. The time for an entity to complete the simulation network, subject to both the deterministic and stochastic factors, represents the time to complete the project. Multiple replications of the simulation are run to create the completion distribution function. The methodology was demonstrated to be effective for the on-going project to assemble the International Space Station. Approximately $500 million per month is being spent on this project, which is scheduled to complete by 2010. Project stakeholders participated in determining and managing completion distribution functions. The first result was improved project completion risk awareness. Secondly, mitigation options were analyzed to improve project completion performance and reduce total project cost.Ph.D.

Full textAbstract:
[Abstract]: This dissertation addresses several highly-critical issues in affective computing and agent architecture design including knowledge representation, motivation, emotion appraisal and affective decision making. The approach presented integrates motivational drives, goals and associated behaviours via a multi-dimensional Affective Space. The research focuses on an emotionally motivated artificial intelligence (EMAI) architecture. This architecture dispenses with the ideas implemented in contemporary affective agent architectures where individual emotional states are modelled as individual variables, integrated and processed using complex algorithms. Contemporary approaches required significant programming effort to modify them for domains outside their realm, integration of new emotional states and high-level complex affective decision making. Unlike contemporary affective agent architectures, the EMAI architecture reasons using a multi-dimensional decision making process where emotional states are modelled as coexisting locations in a six-dimensional affective continuum called the Affective Space. Through use of the Affective Space, an EMAI agent can predict the effect that certain behaviours will have on its emotional state and in turn decide how to behave. Furthermore, the agent can use the emotions produced from its behaviour to update its beliefs about particular events and entities. The nature of the Affective Space also allows an EMAI agent to deal with processes related to emotion synthesis in a more effective manner than contemporary architectures. These processes include the natural diminishing of an emotional state's strength over time, the way in which emotions can influence an agent's perspective of a situation and the way in which an agent can migrate from one emotional state to another. This dissertation contributes crucial and unique concepts and formalisations of emotion based intelligence for agent construction to the domain of Artificial Intelligence (in particular Affective Computing). It introduces a unique process for emotionally motivated decision making based on holistic and atomic appraisals made with respect to events. The thesis contained within has been supported through experimentation that has confirmed the effectiveness of the emotion synthesis technique in the EMAI architecture and how this is used to produce intelligent agents capable of emotional reasoning and decision making.

Full textAbstract:
Vi ses fram på torget är en uppsats som berör attraktiva mötesplatser i det offentliga rummet. Den postmoderna människan söker återigen kontakt med andra i det offentliga rummet men saknar möjligheten att interagera. Till stor del fokuserar därför uppsatsen på social interaktion mellan invånarna och hur den kan underlättas på offentliga mötesplatser. I teorin finns användbara begrepp, vägledning och idéer för hur attraktiviteten ökar. Här behandlas även hur offentliga mötesplatser påverkar den enskilda invånaren och kommunen. Mötesplatser i det offentliga rummet kan ge invånarna välmående, hälsa och tillfredsställelse. Genom exempelvis engagemang och kvalitet knyts ett band mellan människan och kommunen. Om invånaren känner tillhörighet och lojalitet på platsen förstärks dess identitet. Kommunen kan därmed öka i konkurrensfördelar och värde för turister och invånare.Syftet med uppsatsen är att ta fram en ny modell som kan ligga till grund för utvecklingen av mötesplatser i det offentliga rummet. Modellen utgår från teorier och existerande modeller inom event, marknadsföring och stadsutveckling. Modellen Att skapa attraktiva mötesplatser i det offentliga rummet tas fram, prövas och utvecklas i uppsatsen. Det här är en fallstudie applicerad på torget i Lidköping. I empirin får fokusgrupper, bestående av kommunens invånare, diskutera kring attraktiva mötesplatser, interaktion och Lidköpings torg. De uppskattar trygga och levande platser med möjlighet för aktivitet, interaktion och avkoppling. Attribut som sittplatser, naturliga element och event efterfrågas av fokusgrupperna.I uppsatsen framgår att modellen Att skapa attraktiva mötesplatser i det offentliga rummet är användbar vid utvecklingen av mötesplatser i det offentliga rummet. Utifrån genomförd studie kan hela modellen fyllas i med invånarnas åsikter och förslag. Därigenom är modellen ett användbart verktyg som kan utvecklas och användas i nutida och framtida forskning. En större empirisk undersökning bland invånarna i Lidköping är att rekommendera för att kunna generalisera det resultat studien presenterar på populationen. Uppsatsen presenterar hypotetiska förslag på hur en attraktiv mötesplats kan utformas på torget i Lidköping. Modellen är även tillämpningsbar på andra platser. Forskningsområdet är nu påbörjat och öppnar upp för vidare arbete med Lidköpings kommun.Vi ses fram på torget (Local expression of Lidköping for ‘meet you at the square’) is a thesis about attractive meeting places in public spaces. The post-modern person is once again searching to connect with others in public spaces but is lacking interaction opportunities. Therefore this thesis is largely focusing on social interaction between town inhabitants and how to favour it in public meeting places. In theory there are concepts, guidance and ideas on how to increase the attractiveness and effectiveness. It also covers how public meeting places effect the individual inhabitant and the municipality at large. Meeting places within public spaces have the possibility to give its inhabitants increased well-being, health and satisfaction. Through, for example; involvement, quality and safety strings are attached between a human and the municipality. If the inhabitant is experiencing affiliation and loyalty to the place itself it enhances its identity and strengthens mutually beneficial interaction. The municipality could consequently increase its competitive advantage and value for tourists and it’s own inhabitants.The purpose of the thesis is to create a new model that can form the basis for developing meeting places in existing public spaces. The model is based on previously un-tested theories and existing models of events, marketing and urban development. The model Att skapa attraktiva mötesplatser i det offentliga rummet (To create attractive meeting places in public spaces) is designed, tested, developed and expanded in the thesis. This is a case study applied to the Lidköping square. In the observed focus groups, consisting of inhabitants of Lidköping municipality, discussion focused on attractive meeting places, social interaction, and the Lidköping square itself. A set of empirical findings to use as a study base was the object of the exercise. It was generally found that people appreciate places that are safe and alive with possibilities for activities, interaction and relaxation. Attributes such as seating areas, nature elements and events are requested by the focus groups.This thesis argues that To create attractive meeting places within existing public spaces is a useful development tool and enables productive meeting places within public spaces. Based on the performed study the model is successfully filled in with the inhabitants opinions and suggestions. With some modification and further empirical study the model will be a useful tool that can be developed and used in current and future research. The thesis presents hypothetical suggestions on how to actually create an attractive meeting point at the Lidköping square. The model is also applicable to other places. This field of research is now started and opens up for further work involving the Lidköping municipality.

L’environnement radiatif spatial est un environnement sévère qui agit sur tout composants électroniques embarqués sur des engins spatiaux, y compris sous le bouclier naturel que nous procure le champ magnétique terrestre en orbite basse. Bien qu’il soit possible, en particulier à ces orbites, de se protéger efficacement contre les particules créant de la dose totale ionisante, cela pose plus de difficultés pour les particules générant des effets singuliers. Cela est d’autant plus un problème que l’utilisation des composants commerciaux (dits « COTS »), non conçus pour de telles applications, sont de plus en plus utilisés. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, les effets singuliers sur trois types de mémoires sont étudiés: SRAM, FRAM et NAND Flash. En se basant sur l’analyse des résultats de tests, les mécanismes d’erreurs induits par des particules générant des effets singuliers sont analysés. Avec pour objectif d’étudier et comparer la sensibilité de ces mémoires directement en orbite, l’expérience RES (Radiation Effect Study) a été développée et est présentée dans ce manuscrit. Cette expérience scientifique constituera la charge utile du nanosatellite de type CubeSat nommé MTCube (Memory Test CubeSat) developpé à l’Université de Montpellier en collaboration entre le Centre Spatial Universitaire Montpellier-Nîmes, et les laboratoires LIRMM et IES. Ce nanosatellite est financé par l’ESA (Agence Spatial Européenne)Space radiation is a harsh environment affecting all electronic devices used on spacecraft, despite the presence of Earth’s protective magnetic field in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Although particles inducing total ionizing dose (TID) can be effectively shielded against in LEO, particles responsible for Single Event Effects (SEEs) remain an issue for the reliability of electronics. This is particularly of concern considering the increasing use of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components, not designed for space applications. In the frame of this thesis, the SEE response of three commercial memory types are explored: SRAM, FRAM and NAND Flash. Based on SEE test results, the possible fault mechanisms induced by SEE particles on those devices are analysed. In order to study and compare the devices’ response with actual in-orbit measurements, the RES (Radiation Effect Study) science experiment was developed and is presented. The RES experiment will be the payload of the MTCube (Memory Test CubeSat) nanosatellite, which is being developed at the University of Montpellier as a joint project between the University Space Center (CSU Montpellier-Nîmes), as well as the LIRMM and IES laboratories. MTCube is financed by the European Space Agency (ESA)

Full textAbstract:
Para obtener una ventaja competitiva en el mercado global, los fabricantes tienen que adaptarse rápidamente sus sistemas para responder a las fluctuantes demandas de los clientes en virtud de factores de servicio de alta calidad. La alta inversión de capital en los sistemas de fabricación flexible (SFFs), junto con los desafíos de las condiciones de mercado que cambian rápidamente se ha convertido en esencial la utilización eficiente de los recursos. Para maximizar los beneficios de un SFF, se necesita una implantación de técnicas de programación e planificación adecuadas para aprovechar plenamente las flexibilidades de fabricación. El objetivo global de esta tesis es establecer un marco de programación basado en el modelado de redes de Petri coloreadas temporales (RdPCT) para optimizar el rendimiento de los SFF mediante el desarrollo de herramientas y métodos de búsqueda eficientes basados en el análisis del espacio de estados (EdE). El análisis del espacio del estado es una herramienta potente que se puede utilizar para automatizar la actividad de toma de decisiones en problemas de programación mediante el seguimiento de todos los posibles comportamientos del sistema modelado. Sin embargo, adolece del problema de explosión de espacio de estado debido a la complejidad computacional de los problemas de programación de la producción en SFFs. Lo que ha limitado su aplicabilidad a problemas de tamaño pequeño.
En la metodología de la programación propuesta, la generación de un plan de producción óptimo consiste en la construcción y el recorrido del espacio de estados con un algoritmo de búsqueda. Además, se requiere un simulador para la ejecución del modelo de RdPCT. Es muy natural utilizar el gráfico algoritmos de búsqueda ya que el método de análisis subyacente se basa en el EdE. La estrategia de búsqueda gráfica es una técnica interdisciplinaria que atraviesa los campos de la inteligencia artificial (IA), la investigación operativa (OR), e Informática. Esta tesis se centra en los métodos de búsqueda heurística basados en IA que se utilizan para simular solamente los mejores escenarios (como un problema de búsqueda del camino más corto). En este método, la exploración de los EdE son guiados con funciones heurísticas que se basan en el conocimiento de los planes de producción.
La contribución de esta tesis es cuádruple. La primera ofrece la plataforma en que se implementan las otras tres contribuciones: una herramienta para soporte de decisión automatizada y de uso especial llamado TIMed State space Performance Analysis Tool (TIMSPAT). En segundo lugar, se desarrolló un enfoque de memoria eficiente para aliviar el problema de escalabilidad que aparece en la exploración de EdE de problemas de programación FMS. En tercer lugar, se presenta dos algoritmos de búsqueda heurística a cualquier hora, desarrollados para superar las desventajas de los algoritmos de búsqueda heurística convencionales. Finalmente, la última contribución presenta un enfoque basado en RdPCT a la programación simultánea de máquinas y vehículos guiados automáticamente (AGV) con enrutamiento libre de conflictos.To gain competitive advantage in the global market, manufacturers have to quickly adapt their systems to respond to fluctuating customer demands under high-quality service factors. The high capital investment in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) together with the challenges of the rapidly changing market conditions has made efficient resource utilization become essential. To maximize the benefits of an FMS, appropriate scheduling techniques must be put in place to fully exploit the manufacturing flexibilities. The overall objective of this thesis is to establish a scheduling framework based on timed colored Petri net (TCPN) modeling for optimizing the performance of FMSs through the development of tools and efficient search methods based on the reachability graph (or state space) analysis. In the proposed TCPN-based scheduling methodology, the generation of an optimal production schedule involves the construction and traversal of the state space with a search algorithm. Also, a simulator is required for executing the TCPN model. It is quite natural to use graph search algorithms since the underlying analysis method relies on the reachability graph. Graph search strategy is an interdisciplinary technique that spans across the fields of Artificial intelligence (AI), Operations research (OR), and Computer science. This thesis focuses on AI-based heuristic search methods used in simulating only the best scenarios (as a shortest-path search problem). In this method, the exploration of reachability graphs are guided with heuristic functions that rely on the knowledge of the production plans. The contribution of this thesis is fourfold. The first provides the platform called TIMSPAT in which the other three contributions are implemented. Because of the complex data structure, TCPN-based scheduling using reachability graph analysis has been merely looked at in the literature. Thanks to the common data structure of the heuristic search methods, TIMSPAT is capable of incorporating different search algorithms in a single executable tool. So far, nine algorithms have been implemented, which includes the search algorithms proposed in this thesis and those by other authors. Second, a memory-efficient approach is developed to alleviate the scalability problem that appears in the state space exploration of FMS scheduling problems. The approach tackles the research questions: Is it necessary to store all the generated states to guarantee an optimal solution without revisiting states? and how can one reduce the number of states to be stored so that larger problems can be solved without forgoing optimality? It assumes that the state space graphs of a system with increasing problem size may contain repetitive patterns while the underlying model structure remains as constant as possible. The proposed solution is based on the notion that the structural behavior captured in the state space of a solvable smaller problem size can be extended to explore a larger size if the two problems share a certain kind of similarity. The third contribution presents two anytime heuristic search algorithms developed to overcome the drawbacks of conventional heuristic search algorithms. The first anytime algorithm adapts and improves an existing anytime algorithm to TCPN-based scheduling, while the second proposes a new algorithm that combines two heuristic search algorithms making them anytime for deadlock-free scheduling. The algorithms are suitable for both off-line and on-line scheduling purposes due to their effectiveness in adapting to different CPU constraints. The last contribution presents a TCPN-based approach to the simultaneous scheduling of machines and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) with conflict-free routing. Unlike the existing approaches that employ a decomposition framework, the entire scheduling problem is described in a single model. Two simultaneous scheduling models are proposed and evaluated using an event-driven vehicle assignment solution as opposed to the traditional dispatching rules.

La donation fait de l’espace une spatialité (extériorité, altérité). Tomber dans le où ? est avoir le sentiment de l’espace qui n’est pas la spatialité. Nous ne sommes plus un corps dans l’espace mais un corps-espace (pas de place pour le là). Le où ? n’est pas un dans absolu mais l’impossibilité du dans et l’impossibilité de l’événement d’être (pas d’ouverture). Il y a une immobilité où tout se meut à vide. Le où ? n’a même pas le où de la question comme réponse. Son point d’interrogation est son impossible repos. Que reste-t-il à l’artiste à donner ? Ne fait-il pas justement autre chose que donner ? L’artiste dé-crée et son œuvre pose alors cette question : où cela ne se passe-t-il pas ?. Tomber dans le où ? c’est tomber dans l’étrangeté de l’autre de l’événement. C’est accueillir l’autre, l’étranger, sans lui ôter son étrangeté. L’impossibilité d’avoir lieu s’in-crée. Le sentiment de l’espace est l’autre de la sensibilité et non pas une autre sensibilité à. Il est l’autre de la rencontre. Le sentir est pris par le corps. Tomber dans le où ? est une désinsertion de l’espace où le déjà vouloir de la donation n’a pas lieu. Accueillir l’autre c’est perdre sa demeure avec soi, c’est accueillir dehors. La désinsertion de l’espace est l’autre du départ. Le venir du dehors est l’appel du dehors, l’appel de l’il y a, mon appel. Dans l’esthétique du où ? nous ne sommes pas dans cet appel du dehors. La relation avec l’Autre sera son exhibition, son débordement, sa profanation, profanation du Tout, de l’Un. L’homme fait autre chose que vouloir, il danse. Tomber dans le où ? c’est sortir du pouvoir pour tomber dans la jouissance tragique de l’éternel retour. C’est penser où ?Donation turns space into spatiality (outwardness, otherness). Falling in the 'where ?' is having the feeling of space, which isn't spatiality. We are not a body in space anymore, but a space-body (no place for the here). The where ? is not an absolute into but the impossibility of an into and the impossibility of the event of being (no opening). There is an immobility in which everything runs, but idle. The where ? doesn't even have the where of the question as an answer. It's question mark is it's impossible rest. What is left for the artist to give ? Isn't he precisely doing something else than giving ? The artist de-creates and his work asks the question : where doesn't it flow ? Falling in the 'where ?' is falling in the strangeness of the other of the event. It's welcoming the other, the strange(r), with no lessening of strangeness. The impossibility of taking place un-creates itself. The feeling of space is the other of sensitivity and not another sensitivity to. It is the other of the encounter. The feeling is taken by the body. Falling in the 'where ?' is a dis-insertion from space where the already willing of the donation does not take place. Welcoming the other is losing one's abode with oneself, it is welcoming outside. The dis-insertion from space is the other of departing. The calling from outside is the calling of the outside, the calling of there is, my calling. In the aesthetics of the where ? we are not in the calling from the outside. The relationship with the Other will be it's exhibition, it's overflowing, it's profanation, the profanation of the Whole and the One. Man does something else than willing, he dances. Falling in the 'where ?' is exiting from might into the tragic enjoyment of the eternal return. It is thinking where ?

En raison de leur impact sur la fiabilité des systèmes, les effets du rayonnement cosmique sur l’électronique ont été étudiés dès le début de l’exploration spatiale. Néanmoins, de récentes évolutions industrielles bouleversent les pratiques dans le domaine, les technologies standard devenant de plus en plus attrayantes pour réaliser des circuits durcis aux radiations. Du fait de leurs fréquences élevées, des nouvelles architectures de transistor et des temps de durcissement réduits, les puces fabriquées suivant les derniers procédés CMOS posent de nombreux défis. Ce travail s’attelle donc à la simulation des aléas logiques permanents (SEU) et transitoires (SET), en technologies FD-SOI et bulk Si avancées. La réponse radiative des transistors FD-SOI 28 nm est tout d’abord étudiée par le biais de simulations TCAD, amenant au développement de deux modèles innovants pour décrire les courants induits par particules ionisantes en FD-SOI. Le premier est principalement comportemental, tandis que le second capture des phénomènes complexes tels que l’amplification bipolaire parasite et la rétroaction du circuit, à partir des premiers principes de semi-conducteurs et en accord avec les simulations TCAD poussées.Ces modèles compacts sont alors couplés à une plateforme de simulation Monte Carlo du taux d’erreurs radiatives (SER) conduisant à une large validation sur des données expérimentales recueillies sous faisceau de particules. Enfin, des études par simulation prédictive sont présentées sur des cellules mémoire et portes logiques en FD-SOI 28 nm et bulk Si 65 nm, permettant d’approfondir la compréhension des mécanismes contribuant au SER en orbite des circuits intégrés modernesThe effects of cosmic radiation on electronics have been studied since the early days of space exploration, given the severe reliability constraints arising from harsh space environments. However, recent evolutions in the space industry landscape are changing radiation effects practices and methodologies, with mainstream technologies becoming increasingly attractive for radiation-hardened integrated circuits. Due to their high operating frequencies, new transistor architectures, and short rad-hard development times, chips manufactured in latest CMOS processes pose a variety of challenges, both from an experimental standpoint and for modeling perspectives. This work thus focuses on simulating single-event upsets and transients in advanced FD-SOI and bulk silicon processes.The soft-error response of 28 nm FD-SOI transistors is first investigated through TCAD simulations, allowing to develop two innovative models for radiation-induced currents in FD-SOI. One of them is mainly behavioral, while the other captures complex phenomena, such as parasitic bipolar amplification and circuit feedback effects, from first semiconductor principles and in agreement with detailed TCAD simulations.These compact models are then interfaced to a complete Monte Carlo Soft-Error Rate (SER) simulation platform, leading to extensive validation against experimental data collected on several test vehicles under accelerated particle beams.

Os modos de objetivação jornalística contêm a organização, a experiência e a interpretação do mundo diante de si, apresentado diariamente nos mapas constituídos pelos jornais. Essas processualidades diretamente vinculadas aos interesses organizacionais, todavia, são suscetíveis aos espaços do mundo vivido e aos acontecimentos que neles irrompem e contrastam com a normalidade cotidiana. Do conjunto, alguns têm alto grau de conflitividade, são os típicos acontecimentos atípicos, que mobilizam o Jornalismo enquanto seu campo de possíveis não cessa de se atualizar. A presente pesquisa apresenta e explora um típico acontecimento atípico a partir de seu ingresso e de sua cobertura em três jornais latino-americanos de referência, o brasileiro O Estado de S. Paulo, o colombiano El Tiempo e o equatoriano El Comercio. Trata-se do Caso Angostura, a forma como denomino a crise colombo-equatoriana desencadeada a partir do ataque do Exército colombiano a um acampamento das Forças Armadas Revolucionárias da Colômbia (Farc) localizado em território equatoriano, em 1º de março de 2008. A pesquisa, de forma mais ampla, investiga a produção do acontecimento jornalístico visando a compreender em que medida os típicos atípicos, por suas características e por seus fluxos, alteram as processualidades do Jornalismo. A apreensão é de uma dupla emergência: dos fluxos do Jornalismo e dos fluxos do acontecimento em um processo de codeterminação. Nesse contexto, dedica-se a observar os processos de produção do acontecimento jornalístico, a partir de sua materialidade discursiva, como forma de compor e recompor o acontecimento pelos processos que o constituem (Foucault, 2006, 2010), tomando por base o arcabouço dos estudos do acontecimento jornalístico. Considera, para tanto, um arquivo conformado por textos dos três jornais do período de março de 2008 a agosto de 2009, como modo de acessar a dispersão interpretativa dos sentidos que conformam o Caso Angostura.
Modes of journalistic objectification contain the organization, the experience and the interpretation of the world before me, daily presented in maps constructed by newspapers. These processualities directly connected to organizational interests are, however, susceptible to spaces of the lived world and to events that emerge in it and these events contrast with everyday normality. From a series of events, some have a high degree of conflict; these are the typical atypical events, which mobilize Journalism while its field of possibilities does not cease updating. This research presents and explores a typical atypical event from its ingress and its coverage in three reference Latin-American newspapers, the Brazilian O Estado de S. Paulo, the Colombian El Tiempo and the Ecuadorian El Comercio. We are talking about the Angostura Case, our designation for the crisis between Colombia and Ecuador triggered by the attack of the Colombian Army to a camping site of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) located in Ecuadorian territory on March 1st, 2008. The research, more broadly, investigates the production of the journalistic event, aiming at understanding to what extent the typical atypical, for its characteristics and its flows, alters the processualities of Journalism. The apprehension is of double emergence: of the flows of Journalism and of the flows of the event in a process of co-determination. In this sense, it is dedicated to observe the processes of production of a journalistic event from its discursive materiality, as a way of arranging and rearranging the event by processes that constitute it (Foucault, 2006, 2010), building on the studies of the journalistic event. To do so, it considers a corpus consisted of texts taken from the three newspapers between march 2008 and august 2009, as a way of accessing the interpretative dispersion of meanings that shape the Angostura Case.

Full textAbstract:
The idea of performing power systems dynamic analysis in the power-angle domain has been hinted at by previous researchers, but this may be the first published document to develop detailed techniques by which entire power systems can be represented and solved in the power-angle domain. With the widespread deployment of phasor measurement units and frequency data recorders the industry is looking for more real-time analytical tools to turn real-time wide-area measurements into useful information. Applications based on power-angle domain analysis are simple enough that they may be used online.
Power-angle domain analysis is similar to DC load-flow techniques in that a flat voltage profile is used and it is assumed that real power and voltage angle are completely decoupled from reactive power and voltage magnitude. The linearized equations for the dynamics of generators and loads are included in the model, which allows the electromechanical response to be solved using conventional circuit analysis techniques. The effect of generation trips, load switching, and line switching can be quickly approximated with nodal analysis or mesh analysis in the power-angle domain.
The analysis techniques developed here are not intended to be as accurate as time-domain simulation, but they are simpler and fast enough to be put online, and they also provide a better analytical insight into the system. Power-angle domain analysis enables applications that are not readily available with conventional techniques, such as the estimation of electromechanical propagation delays based on system parameters, the formulation of electromechanical equivalents, modal analysis, stability analysis, and event location and identification based on a small number of angle or frequency measurements. Fault studies and contingency analysis are typically performed with detailed time-domain simulations, where the electromechanical
response of the system is a function of every machine in the interconnection and the lines connecting them. All of this information is rarely known for the entire system for each operating condition; as a result, for many applications it may be more suitable to compute an approximation of the system response based on the current operating state of only the major lines and generators. Power-angle domain analysis is adept at performing such approximations.Ph. D.

This paper has the objective of showing Buffon's needle problem, doing a minor generalization of the results obtained hereby, and also presenting some applications based upon the fundamentals of such problem. Buffon's needle problem has been inserted into the study of Theory of Probability, particularly in its sub-area of geometrical probability. In order to attain the solution to this question, in addition to the concepts and the properties concerning the theory of probabilities, it is necessary that one should have some basic knowledge about integral calculus. In chapters 2, 3, and 4 there is a preliminary study of probability, with the basic concepts, properties and formulation of some probabilistic models being presented. During the development of this paper, whenever it was possible, the concepts and definitions were inserted with the aid of a motivational problem and they were solved by means of fixing the same examples as shown. The final chapter presents the importance of Buffon's needle problem as a method of making estimates and as a foundation for the process of capturing images in CT (computerized tomography) scanning machines, such a great breakthrough in what concerns the diagnosis by means of imaging.

Full textAbstract:
During development of a complex system, feasibility initially overshadows other concerns, in some cases leading to a design which may not be viable long-term. In particular for the case of Reusable Launch Vehicles, Operations&Maintenance comprises the majority of the vehicle's LCC, whose stochastic nature precludes direct analysis. Through the use of simulation, probabilistic methods can however provide estimates on the economic behavior of such a system as it evolves over time. Here the problem of operations optimization is examined through the use of discrete event simulation. The resulting tool built from the lessons learned in the literature review simulates a RLV or fleet of vehicles undergoing maintenance and the maintenance sites it/they visit as the campaign evolves over a period of time. The goal of this work is to develop a method for uncovering an optimal operations scheme by investigating the effect of maintenance technician skillset distributions on important metrics such as the achievable annual flight rate and maintenance man hours spent on each vehicle per flight. Using these metrics, the availability of technicians for each subsystem is optimized to levels which produce the greatest revenue from flights and minimum expenditure from maintenance.

Desastres naturais sempre fizeram parte da vida dos seres humanos, porém nos últimos anos devido ao crescimento dos grandes centros urbanos, da dificuldade de aplicação e cumprimento de políticas de preservação ambiental e de alterações climáticas crescentes, as catástrofes naturais estão se tornando comuns, e no caso particular deste estudo os danos causados por cheias têm afetado as populações próximas aos leitos hídricos, causando prejuízos materiais, mortes, desaparecimentos, flagelados e desalojados. Para se conhecer melhor o comportamento destes eventos extremos e aumentar a segurança evitando com isto a perda de vidas e minimizando o prejuízo econômico que advém destes desastres, se faz necessário um estudo das possíveis áreas afetadas identificando os locais de risco e quantificando a criticidade de um evento de grande magnitude. Com base em estudos de eventos anteriores, como os registros de grandes enchentes, e utilizando técnicas modernas de posicionamento por GPS (Global Positioning System), processamento digital de imagens geradas por satélites e representação temática do nivelamento geométrico destas cheias, pode-se reproduzir em modelos estes eventos e quantificá-los com uma boa precisão de seus efeitos nos dias atuais. A simulação destes eventos extremos em um modelo de base confiável que, disponibilizado à defesa civil, traz um conhecimento prévio dos possíveis efeitos de uma ocorrência deste tipo, onde poderão ser planejadas rotas de fugas e ações mitigadoras, minimizando perdas de vidas e grandes prejuízos econômicos. Os mesmos modelos servem também de ferramenta de análise de impacto e planejamentos para melhoria do plano diretor de desenvolvimento social, econômico, ambiental e pesquisas na área acadêmica. Os modelos apresentados contemplam apenas uma pequena parte das possibilidades que um trabalho como este viabiliza na área da pesquisa. Os mapas temáticos com as curvas de nível, médias das enchentes registradas, área destinada à preservação ambiental da orla do rio e o mapa das regiões onde o evento extremo de 41 atingiu, ficam disponibilizados para livre utilização.Natural disasters have always been part of the human lives, but in recent years due to growth of large urban centers, the difficulty of implementation and compliance of environmental preservation policies and increasing climate change, natural disasters are becoming common, and in the particular case of this study the damage caused by floods have affected populations beds near the water resources, causing material damage, deaths, disappearances, flagellates and homeless. To better understand the behavior of these extreme events and increase safety avoiding the lives loss and minimizing the economic losses that arise from these disasters, it is necessary to study the possible affected areas identifying the risk sites and quantifying the criticality of an event of great magnitude. Based on studies of past events, as the records of large floods, and using modern techniques of GPS positioning, digital image processing generated by satellites and thematic representation of capping geometry of these floods, we can play in these models events and quantify them with a good accuracy of its effects today. The simulation of these extreme events in a confident base model that available to bring the civil defense prior knowledge of the possible effects of an event this kind, which may be planned escape routes and mitigating actions minimizing loss of life and large economic losses. The same models also serve as analysis impact tool and planning for improvement of the master plan for social development, economic, environmental and research in the academic area. The models presented cover only a small part of the possibility that a work like this enables on research area. Thematic maps with contour lines, medium flood recorded, for environmental conservation area bordering the river and the map of the regions where the extreme event of 41 hit, are available for free use.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis evolves perception as a hypothesis to reframe architectural praxis negotiated through agent-situation interaction. The research questions the geometric principles of architectural ordination to originate the ‘felt_space infrastructure’, a relational system of measurement concerned with the role of perception in mediating sensory space and the cognised environment. The methodological model for this research fuses perception and environmental stimuli, into a consistent generative process that penetrates the inner essence of space, to reveal the visceral parameter. These concepts are applied to develop a ‘coefficient of affordance’ typology, ‘hypervigilant’ tool set, and ‘cognitive_tope’ design methodology. Thus, by extending the architectural platform to consider perception as a design parameter, the thesis interprets the ‘inference schema’ as an instructional model to coordinate the acquisition of spatial reality through tensional and counter-tensional feedback dynamics. Three site-responsive case studies are used to advance the thesis. The first case study is descriptive and develops a typology of situated cognition to extend the ‘granularity’ of perceptual sensitisation (i.e. a fine-grained means of perceiving space). The second project is relational and questions how mapping can coordinate perceptual, cognitive and associative attention, as a ‘multi-webbed vector field’ comprised of attractors and deformations within a viewer-centred gravitational space. The third case study is causal, and demonstrates how a transactional-biased schema can generate, amplify and attenuate perceptual misalignment, thus triggering a visceral niche. The significance of the research is that it progresses generative perception as an additional variable for spatial practice, and promotes transactional methodologies to gain enhanced modes of spatial acuity to extend the repertoire of architectural practice.

Focalisée sur l’interaction entre Mode, événement, espace et corps, la thèse se propose de traiter le processus visuel, communicationnel et scénographique d’un défilé de Mode. Il s’agit d’une rencontre entre différents éléments constitutifs de l’événement de Mode, transformant l’action corporelle en des unités simultanées et concurrentes reparties dans l’espace et dans le temps. Dès lors, la représentation d’un défilé relève de l’enjeu entre réception, perception, interprétation et cognition des différentes pratiques artistiques qui participent à sa réalisation. En organisant ce travail, on a poursuivi une double visée : on introduit d'abord la paradigmatique d'éléments qui interviennent dans la composition d'un défilé de Mode et par la suite on passe à l'enchaînement syntagmatique du défilé en tant qu'événement à finalité médiatique. Pour cela, nous illustrons par deux corpus photographiques et filmiques les ressemblances et les oppositions entre deux modèles de défilés de Chanel. Enfin, on présente la manière de matérialiser le sens de l’événement en regroupant les pratiques spatiales et visuelles des défilés et de leur enchaînement pragmatique. Par cette analyse nous espérons contribuer à une meilleure compréhension de la nature profonde du discours de l’événement de Mode et de sa textualisationFocused on the interaction between Mode, event, space and body, the thesis proposes to treat the visual, communication and scenographic process of a fashion show. It is a meeting between different elements of an event of Fashion, transforming the body action in simultaneous and concurrent units, distributed in space and in time. Therefore, the representation of a fashion show is an issue between reception, perception, interpretation and cognition of different artistic practices. When organizing this work, we have pursued a double aiming: firstly we introduced the paradigmatic of elements involved in the composition of a fashion show then we have focused on the sequence syntagmatic of the Fashion show as an event to media purpose. Since then, we have illustrated by two photographic and filmic corpuses the similarities and the oppositions between these two models of a Fashion show Chanel. Finally, we have presented the way to materialize the meaning of the event gathering the spatial and visual practices of the parades and of their pragmatic sequence. By this analysis we hope to contribute to a better comprehension of the profound speech nature of the Event Fashion and its textualisation

O trabalho trata da relação entre o espaço público e as manifestações urbanas analisadas a partir dos protestos ocorridos na cidade de Porto Alegre, RS, entre 2010 e 2014. A fim de construir teoricamente o problema de pesquisa, realiza-se uma discussão conceitual com foco em espaço e espaço público. Faz-se uma explanação sobre o conceito de evento para chegar ao estado da arte quanto ao tema das manifestações no Brasil a partir de autores contemporâneos. A relação política dos discursos e da cartografia é inserida nas definições teóricas, fundamentando conceitualmente a análise de discurso, técnica de pesquisa utilizada no método. Com esta abordagem foi possível estabelecer a relação entre as manifestações urbanas e a noção de espaço público através do conceito de direito à cidade. O objetivo geral é investigar a concepção dos espaços públicos sustentada pelos discursos dos atores das manifestações urbanas. Para tal são pesquisados os atores e suas agendas, a apropriação dos espaços públicos pelos manifestantes, a disputa espacial e política através dos discursos e das cartografias de percursos e espaços das manifestações. Para realizar a análise foram selecionados cinco movimentos da cidade: Massa Crítica, Vaga Viva, Largo Vivo, Defesa Pública da Alegria e os protestos organizados pelo Bloco de Luta pelo Transporte Público, definidos teoricamente como novos movimentos sociais. A partir da análise de discurso dos manifestantes e de dois jornais (Zero Hora e Sul21), discorre-se sobre a construção de significados e signos de espaço público, a constituição de atores e a relação entre os eventos tanto intra quanto interdiscursivamente. A análise de discurso verifica a constituição de poder desde a relação social contextualizada, de modo que o pesquisador é o intérprete, contribuindo para a construção de uma articulação entre linguagem e sociedade. Espacialmente são construídas cartografias dos discursos, proporcionando uma análise da ocupação de espaço de cada movimento para verificar a relação destes com os conceitos utilizados. Nas considerações finais apresenta-se a construção da rede de organizações entre os distintos eventos analisados, estruturada pela semelhança entre seus atores, tanto conceitualmente, a partir de disputas por políticas públicas, quanto no campo das disputas discursivas, momento em que distintas definições sobre atores, objetivos e espaços são realizadas. A teoria exposta ensaia estas relações de poder associadas a práticas urbanas, confirmadas nas considerações finais tanto no cerne de cada movimento social quanto de modo integrado à rede de acontecimentos configurando-se em um evento único.This paper is about the relation between the public space and the urban manifestations analyzed from the protests occurred in Porto Alegre, RS, between 2010 and 2014. In order to build the subject problem, a conceptual discussion is conducted, which is focused on the space and the public space. An explanation is made about the event concept to reach the art of state of the theme about the manifestations in Brazil through the perspective of contemporary authors. The politics relation of the speeches and the cartography are inserted in theoretical definitions, being a conceptual base of the speech analyses, research technique used in the method. Within this approach, it was possible to establish the relationship between the urban manifestations and the notion of public space, through the concept of entitlement to the city. The general objective is to investigate the public spaces conception supported by the speeches of the actors in the urban manifestations. To accomplish this, the actors and their agendas are researched, the appropriation of the public spaces by the protesters, the territorial and political dispute trough the speeches and the cartography of the routes and manifestations spaces. To perform the review, five city movements were elected: Massa Crítica, Vaga Viva, Largo Vivo, Defesa Pública da Alegria and the protests organized by Bloco de Luta pelo Transporte Público, defined theoretically as the new social movements. From the analysis of the protesters’ speech and two selected newspapers (Zero Hora and Sul21), there is a discussion about the build of meanings and signs of the public space, the constitution of actors and the relationship between the events both through an intra and inter-discourse way. The review of the speech verifies the power constitution from the social relation contextualized, in a way in which the researcher is the analysis agent, contributing to the built of an articulation between language and society. Spatially, cartographies of the speeches are built to provide an analysis of the space occupation of the each movement, in order to verify the relation of these with the concepts that were used. In the final considerations, the built of the network of the organizations are presented among the different events analyzed in the field of discursive disputes. The exposed theory attempts to the relations of power associated to urban practices both in the inner center of each social movement and the integrated mode of events chain, resulting in a single event.

Bouallègue, Sami. "Représentations de l'histoire dans l'œuvre de Julien Gracq." Thesis, Paris 4, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA040058.
Full textAbstract:
Notre hypothèse de travail est la suivante : l’œuvre de Gracq, exprime le rapport privilégié que l’auteur entretient avec l’histoire. Il est néanmoins évident que ce lien ne se limite pas à une pure écriture historiographique ou à un simple témoignage. Il s’agit plutôt d’une forme particulière de représentation littéraire qui porte sur un objet complexe : le passé, le présent et le devenir d’un être-là. Notre ambition, à travers le travail sur un corpus de quatre œuvres narratives, est, d’abord, de mettre en rapport l’œuvre littéraire avec le matériau même de l’histoire ainsi qu’avec les autres champs de la connaissance et de la perception avec lesquels la littérature forme un continuum. Lire l’histoire à travers cette œuvre revient dans un premier lieu à saisir cette continuité qu’il y a entre les deux dimensions fondamentales du temps et de l’espace historiques et de son inscription dans l’artefact littéraire qui la transforme en une matière fertile pour une « poésie de l’histoire ». Dans une première étape, nous essaierons de cerner les différentes manières avec lesquelles le temps historique est ressenti puis exprimé à travers la notion d’événement. C’est cette notion d’événement qui nous permettra aussi d’explorer l’espace géographique gracquien à travers les différents statuts qu’il assume dans l’œuvre. La troisième partie tentera de décrire les différents modes discursifs selon lesquels la représentation du temps et de l’espace historiques se transforme en artefact littéraire. Dans cette étude nous nous inspirerons essentiellement des travaux de Paul Ricoeur (Temps et récit, La Mémoire l’Histoire l’Oubli) et de Hayden White dans MetahistoryThe main hypothesis of this thesis is: Julien Gracq’s works are the expressions of a privileged relationship linking the author to History. It is evident, however, that this link is not limited to a pure historiographical writing or to a simple testimony. It is rather a specific form of literary representation that covers a complex issue, namely: the past, the present and evolution of living entities in the universe. Via analyzing a corpus of four narratives, my ambition is to connect the literary works to the other fields of knowledge and cognition, with which literature makes a continuum. Throughout these works, History turns to mean that we must understand the continuity between the two fundamental dimensions of historical time and space, and how they are enshrined into a literary artifact that transforms them into a “poetry of history” (“Poésie de l’histoire”). In a first phase, I will try to identify how historical time is felt and then expressed trough the notion of event. This very notion of event will then enable me to explore gracquian geographical space through the various statutes it takes in the literary work. The third part of this thesis will describe the different discursive strategies used to transform historical time and space into literary artifact. The main inspirations for this thesis are the works of Paul Ricoeur (Temps et récit ; La Mémoire, l’Histoire, l’Oubli) and Hayden White (Metahistory)
