Full textAbstract:
Family Law within Australia has undergone extensive legislative and operational changes since its inception. It is an area of law that impacts upon a number of stakeholders such as children, parents, law enforcement agencies, the Government and judicial officers. The research took a small facet of the operation of the Family Law Act 1975, namely the enforcement of parenting orders by police services. The focus of the research was to unfold the process and difficulties encountered by police services when executing a recovery order issued by the Courts under s. 67 of the Family Law Act 1975. It further explored police perspective, training and organisational service delivery, in carrying out their duties. Two qualitative methodological approaches were used in this research. The main approach used was Grounded Theory. Narrative Inquiry was also incorporated into the research. The objective of Narrative Inquiry is to create social context from story telling. Participants were asked to describe their experiences when executing recovery orders. Interviews were undertaken with members from the Victoria Police and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) who have had experience with the execution of recovery orders. These participants were also asked to construct the process when a recovery order is executed and to describe the atmosphere. In addition, journaling and observations were used. These observations took place in the Family Court and Federal Magistrates' Court in Victoria. The findings and relevant literature indicated that police disliked becoming involved in executing recovery orders. The Police perceived family law in general not to be a central area of policing. These findings parallel earlier findings from an Australian Parliamentary report in 1992. Furthermore, the findings indicated that little organisational commitment was placed on the function of enforcing recovery orders. This was indicated by the limited and inconsistent resources provided by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) to fulfil their obligations, and the lack of training offered to police members. The findings indicated that the Police would take initial steps prior to executing the order. They would contact the applicant parent to assist with inquiries to locate a child, assess variables such as the potential for violence and arrange with the applicant parent where the child would be delivered. In addition, even though the findings outlined that recovery orders were fairly non-complex to execute, at times there would be difficulties in locating a child and finalising arrangements for a child to be returned to a parent. The findings also indicated that there was no clear practice as to which section of the Victoria Police would execute a recovery order if requested by the AFP. Whilst the findings need to be considered carefully in light of the small sample group, it did indicate that there are some difficulties with the process and value placed by police services within Australia on the execution of recovery orders.

Full textAbstract:
Les systèmes distribués ont réussi à étendre la technologie de l’information à un public plus large, en termes d’emplacement et de nombre. Cependant, ces systèmes géo-répliqués doivent être évolutifs afin de répondre aux demandes toujours croissantes. De plus, le système doit pouvoir traiter les messages dans un ordre équivalent à celui de leur création afin d’éviter des effets indésirables. L’exécution suivant des ordres partiels fournit un ordonnancement d’événements que tous les nœuds suivront, ce qui permet donc le traitement des messages dans un ordre adéquat. Un système qui applique un ordre partiel simplifie le développement des applications distribuées et s’assure que l’utilisateur final n’observera pas des comportements défiant la causalité. Dans cette thèse, nous présentons des modèles statistiques pour différentes contraintes d’ordre partiel, en utilisant différentes distributions de modèles de latence. Étant donné un modèle de latence, qui donne le temps qu’il faut pour qu’un message passe d’un nœud à un autre, notre modèle s’appuie sur lui pour donner le temps supplémentaire qu’il faut pour appliquer un ordre partiel spécifique. Nous avons proposé les modèles suivants. Tout d’abord, dans une communication entre un et plusieurs nœuds, la probabilité que le message soit délivré dans tous les nœuds avant un temps donné. Deuxièmement, après la réception d’un message, la probabilité que tous les autres nœuds aient exécuté ce message avant temps donné. Troisièmement, dans une communication de un à plusieurs nœuds, la probabilité que le message soit arrivé à au moins un sous-ensemble d’entre eux avant un temps donné. Quatrièmement, l’ordre FIFO ou causal qui détermine si un message est prêt à être livré, dans un nœud ou plusieurs. Tout cela favorise la compréhension du comportement des systèmes distribués en présence d’ordres partiels. En outre, en utilisant cette connaissance, nous avons construit un algorithme qui utilise ces modèles de comportement du réseau pour établir un système de livraison causal fiable. Afin de valider nos modèles, nous avons développé un outil de simulation qui permet d’exécuter des scénarios adaptés à nos besoins. Nous pouvons définir les différents paramètres du modèle de latence, le nombre de clients et les charges de travail des clients. Cette simulation nous permet de comparer les valeurs générées de façon aléatoire pour chaque configuration spécifique avec les résultats prévus de notre modèle. Une des applications qui peuvent tirer profit de notre modèle, est un algorithme de livraison causale fiable. Il utilise l’information causale pour détecter les éléments manquants et réduit le besoin d’acquittement de message en contactant d’autres répliques seulement lorsque le message est supposé manquant. Cette information est fournie par notre modèle, qui définit les temporisateurs d’attente en fonction des statistiques du réseau et de la consommation des ressources. Enfin, cette application a été testée dans le même simulateur que les modèles, avec des résultats prometteurs, puis évaluée dans une expérience réelle utilisant Amazon EC2 comme plate-forme<br>Distributed systems have managed to extend technology to a broader audience, in both terms of location and numbers. However these geo-replicated systems need to be scalable in order to meet the ever growing demands. Moreover, the system has to be able to process messages in an equivalent order that they were created to avoid unwanted side effects. Partial order enforcement provides an ordering of events that all nodes will follow therefore processing the messages in an adequate order. A system that enforces a partial order simplifies the challenge of developing distributed applications, and ensures that the end-user will not observe causality defying behaviors. In this thesis we present models for different partial order enforcements, using different latency model distributions. While a latency model, which yields the time it takes for a message to go from one node to another, our model builds on it to give the additional time that it takes to enforce a given partial order. We have proposed the following models. First, in a one to many nodes communication, the probability for the message to be delivered in all the nodes before a given time. Second, in a one to many nodes communication from the receivers, the probability that all the other nodes have delivered the message after a given time of him receiving it. Third, in a one to many nodes communication, the probability that the message has arrived to at least a subset of them before a given time. Fourth, applying either FIFO or Causal ordering determining if a message is ready for being delivered, in one node or many. All of this furthers the understanding of how distributed systems with partial orders behave. Furthermore using this knowledge we have built an algorithm that uses the insight of network behavior to provide a reliable causal delivery system. In order to validate our models, we developed a simulation tool that allows to run scenarios tailored to our needs. We can define the different parameters of the latency model, the number of clients, and the clients workloads. This simulation allows us to compare the randomly generated values for each specific configuration with the predicted outcome from our model. One of the applications that can take advantage of our model, is a reliable causal delivery algorithm. It uses causal information to detect missing elements and removes the need of message acknowledgment by contacting other replicas only when the message is assumed missing. This information is provided by our model, that defines waiting timers according to the network statistics and resource consumption. Finally this application has been both tested in the same simulator as the models, with promising results, and then evaluated in a real-life experiment using Amazon EC2 for the platform

Combined PFG and T1 methods for rapid acquisition of multiple scans of an NMR pulse sequence are presented. The methods apply initially two RF-pulses in combination with two magnetic field gradient pulses of opposite polarity, different strengths and different durations. The basic idea is to spoil any magnetization in any direction before letting the system recover to some degree of restoration of the thermal equilibrium magnetization. Thereafter any pulse sequence can be applied, and the next scan may be run immediately after the end of this spoiler pulse sequence. Thus one avoids the 5 times T1 delay between each scan. The method has been verified at 11.7 Tesla correlating spectral information with T1 or diffusion.

Full textAbstract:
The time to detection of a visual stimulus by the primate eye is recorded at 100 – 150ms. This near instantaneous recognition is in spite of the considerable processing required by the several stages of the visual pathway to recognise and react to a visual scene. How this is achieved is still a matter of speculation. Rank-order codes have been proposed as a means of encoding by the primate eye in the rapid transmission of the initial burst of information from the sensory neurons to the brain. We study the efficiency of rank-order codes in encoding perceptually-important information in an image. VanRullen and Thorpe built a model of the ganglion cell layers of the retina to simulate and study the viability of rank-order as a means of encoding by retinal neurons. We validate their model and quantify the information retrieved from rank-order encoded images in terms of the visually-important information recovered. Towards this goal, we apply the ‘perceptual information preservation algorithm’, proposed by Petrovic and Xydeas after slight modification. We observe a low information recovery due to losses suffered during the rank-order encoding and decoding processes. We propose to minimise these losses to recover maximum information in minimum time from rank-order encoded images. We first maximise information recovery by using the pseudo-inverse of the filter-bank matrix to minimise losses during rankorder decoding. We then apply the biological principle of lateral inhibition to minimise losses during rank-order encoding. In doing so, we propose the Filteroverlap Correction algorithm. To test the perfomance of rank-order codes in a biologically realistic model, we design and simulate a model of the foveal-pit ganglion cells of the retina keeping close to biological parameters. We use this as a rank-order encoder and analyse its performance relative to VanRullen and Thorpe’s retinal model.

Full textAbstract:
This ethnographic study explores the everyday experiences of recovery from an eating disorder. The fieldwork took place in Toronto and Ottawa, Ontario, Canada over a 4 month period in 2013. It involved interviews and participant observation with 12 women who were in various stages of recovery, as well as a reflexive component based on the researcher’s own experiences of recovery. The aim of the study was to uncover what it meant to recover from an eating disorder in terms of everyday eating. Specifically, “How did those in recovery learn to eat?” and “Were they learning to eat in an ‘ordered’ way?” The findings reveal there is a complex and challenging route to ‘ordered’ eating in Canadian society. Contemporary dietary practices compete for authority and popularity while simultaneously offering completely different ways of relating to and knowing food. Those in recovery are therefore lost in a maze of options telling them how to eat ‘right’ which further isolates them. The study shows however that learning to eat in recovery is not about eating in an ‘ordered’ way but more so about situating one’s self in contexts and within relationships; moving with food. It suggests that a way of moving forward in recovery is to let go of the correct ‘order’ to eating and to move forward in its continual making and unmaking.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the interaction of the medical and moral in the historical evolution of “personality disorder” starting with the relationship between Prichard’s (1835) diagnosis of “Moral Insanity” and an anti-modern religious text (Hancock, 1824) describing disorder of the moral faculty. Moral insanity is traced through to Psychopathic Personalities and the military’s Medical 203 to Personality Disorder in DSM I (1952) through to DSM 5 (2013). The extent to which DSM medicalises everyday moral categories is examined by building on the works of writers theorising moral orders and moral selves, such as Harré (1993), Bakhtin (1981, 1984, 1986) and Taylor (1989). This thesis moves from macro-level concerns to the micro-level using dialogical narrative methodology (Sullivan, 2012) alongside Bakhtin’s conceptual tools to examine how medical and personal narratives of "Personality Disorder" interact in lived experience by analysing a triangulation of my psychiatric clinical notes, contemporary diary entries and an autobiographical account. An analysis is undertaken of several diverse autobiographical accounts of ‘successful’ recovery from mental health crisis already available in the public sphere. Consideration was given to how concepts developed throughout this study might be used in future work, concepts such as “dialogical search for a new narrative”, the dialogical ethics of “habitual excess and insufficiency” and “authoritative narrators”. This thesis’s originality is in linking DSM 5’s diagnosis of personality disorder to anti-modern moral discourses on disorder of the moral faculty, and in revealing complex genre relationships between literal/medical and literary/moral understandings of emotional and mental crisis and recovery.

Full textAbstract:
In most previous studies that have been conducted on converting waste heat energy from exhaust gases into useful energy, the engine waste heat recovery system has been placed along the exhaust flow pipe where the temperature differs from the temperature just behind the exhaust valves. This means that an important fraction of the energy from the exhaust gases is still lost to the environment. The present work investigates the potential thermodynamic analysis of an integrated exhaust waste heat recovery (EWHR) system based on a Rankine cycle on an engine's exhaust manifold. The amount of lost energy contained in the exhaust gases at the exhaust manifold level, at average temperatures of 500 °C and 350 °C (for petrol and diesel), and the thermodynamic composition of these gases were determined. For heat to occur, a temperature difference (between the exhaust gas and the working fluid) at the pinch point of 20°C was considered. A thermodynamic analysis was performed on different configurations of EWHR thermal efficiencies and the selected suitable working fluids. The environmental and economic aspects of the integrated EWHR system just behind the exhaust valves of an internal combustion engine (ICE) were analysed. Among all working fluids that were used when the thermodynamic analysis was performed, water was selected as the best working fluid due to its higher thermal efficiency, availability, low cost and environmentally friendly characteristics. Using the typical engine data, results showed that almost 29.54% of exhaust waste heat can be converted. This results in better engine efficiency and fuel consumption on a global scale by gaining an average of 1 114.98 Mb and 1 126.63 Mb of petrol and diesel respectively from 2020 to 2040. It can combat global warming by recovering 56.78 1 011 MJ and 64.65 1 011 MJ of heat rejected from petrol and diesel engines, respectively. A case study of a Volkswagen Citi Golf 1.3i is considered, as it is a popular vehicle in South Africa. This idea can be applied to new-design hybrid vehicles that can use the waste heat to charge the batteries when the engine operates on fossil fuel.<br>Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2016.<br>Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering<br>MSc<br>Unrestricted

Full textAbstract:
Although previous studies on structural equation modeling (SEM) have indicated that the
second-order latent growth model (SOLGM) is a more appropriate approach to
longitudinal intervention effects, its application still requires researchers to collect at least
three-wave data (e.g. randomized pretest, posttest, and follow-up design). However, in
some circumstances, researchers can only collect two-wave data for resource limitations.
With only two-wave data, the SOLGM can not be identified and researchers often choose
alternative SEM models to fit two-wave data. Recent studies show that the two-wave
longitudinal common factor model (2W-LCFM) and latent change score model
(2W-LCSM) can perform well for comparing latent change between groups. However, there
still lacks empirical evidence about how accurately these two-wave models can estimate the
group effects of latent change obtained by three-wave SOLGM (3W-SOLGM). The main
purpose of this dissertation, therefore, is trying to examine to what extent the fixed effects
of the tree-wave SOLGM can be recovered from the parameter estimates of the two-wave
LCFM and LCSM given different simulation conditions.
Fundamentally, the supplementary study (study 2) using three-wave LCFM was
established to help justify the logistics of different model comparisons in our main study
(study 1). The data generating model in both studies is 3W-SOLGM and there are in total
5 simulation factors (sample size, group differences in intercept and slope, the covariance
between the slope and intercept, size of time-specific residual, change the pattern of
time-specific residual). Three main types of evaluation indices were used to assess the
quality of estimation (bias/relative bias, standard error, and power/type I error rate). The
results in the supplementary study show that the performance of 3W-LCFM and
3W-LCSM are equivalent, which further justifies the different models' comparison in the
main study. The point estimates for the fixed effect parameters obtained from the two-wave
models are unbiased or identical to the ones from the three-wave model. However, using
two-wave models could reduce the estimation precision and statistical power when the
time-specific residual variance is large and changing pattern is heteroscedastic
(non-constant). Finally, two real datasets were used to illustrate the simulation results<br>Doctor of Philosophy<br>To collect and analyze the longitudinal data is a very important approach to understand
the phenomenon of development in the real world. Ideally, researchers who are interested
in using a longitudinal framework would prefer collecting data at more than two points in
time because it can provide a deeper understanding of the developmental processes.
However, in real scenarios, data may only be collected at two-time points. With only
two-wave data, the second-order latent growth model (SOLGM) could not be used. The
current dissertation compared the performance of two-wave models (longitudinal common
factor model and latent change score model) with the three-wave SOLGM in order to
better understand how the estimation quality of two-wave models could be comparable to
the tree-wave model. The results show that on average, the estimation from two-wave
models is identical to the ones from the three-wave model. So in real data analysis with
only one sample, the point estimate by two-wave models should be very closed to that of
the three-wave model. But this estimation may not be as accurate as it is obtained by the
three-wave model when the latent variable has large variability in the first or last time
point. This latent variable is more likely to exist as a statelike construct in the real world.
Therefore, the current study could provide a reference framework for substantial
researchers who could only have access to two-wave data but are still interested in
estimating the growth effect that supposed to obtain by three-wave SOLGM.

Full textAbstract:
Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB) baut seit 2011 eine Testanlage Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) Project – BERLinPro. Das Ziel dieses Projektes ist den hohen Strom und hohe Brillanz von dem Elektronenstrahl in einem ERL zu demonstrieren. Die angestrebten Strahlparameter sind vergleichbar mit den Parametern von e.g. zukünftigen ERL-basierten Lichtquellen. Eine von solchen Anlagen ist Femto-Science Factory (FSF), die am HZB konzipiert wurde. FSF ist eine Lichtquelle in Röntgenbereich auf Basis von einem mehrumläufigen ERL mit zweistüfiger Injektion und Energie von einigen GeV. Die Quelle soll Diffraktionslimitiert sein und kurze (Femtosekundenbereich) Lichtpulse erzeugen. Die durchschnittliche und spitzen- Brillanz soll mindesten eine Größenordnung höher liegen als die Brillanz der modernen Speicherring-basierten Lichtquellen. Ein Überblick von BERLinPro und FSF ist gegeben. Eine potentielle Schwäche von ERL besteht in Strahlinstabilitäten, insbesondere regenerative Beam Break Up (BBU). Die Instabilität kann den erreichbaren durchschnittlichen Strom in einem ERL begrenzen. Der Grenzstrom von der BBU für BERLinPro ist berechnet in der Dissertation. Vergleich von zwei Linacs mit zwei verschiedenen supraleitenden Kavitätendesigns ist vorgestellt. Drei Methoden für Strahlstabilisierung (Einfluss von Strahlrotation mit einem Soleniod, Pseudoreflektor, und Tripleten von Quadrupolen in dem Linac auf den Grenzstrom) sind untersucht. Analytische Lösungen für die Twiss-Parameter wurden gefunden für die beste Linacoptik mit und ohne zusätzliche optische Elemente. Zukünftige große ERLs können unterschiedliche Beschleunigungsschemen benutzen. Diese Dissertation vergleicht drei Schemas: unmittelbare Injektion in einen 6 GeV Linac; zweistufige Injektion in einen 6 GeV Linac; und zweistufige Injektion in einen mehrumläufigen Beschleuniger mit geteiltem Hauptlinac in zwei 1 GeV Linacs. Der Basis für den Vergleich ist die Vollkostenanalyse sowie erreichbarer Grenzstrom von den Instabilitäten.<br>In January 2011 Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin officially started the realization of the Berlin Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) Project – BERLinPro. The goal of this compact ERL is to develop the accelerator physics and technology required to accelerate a high-current (100 mA) low emittance beam. The parameters are desired for future large scale facilities based on ERLs, e.g. ERL-based synchrotron light sources. One of such large scale facilities is in the design phase at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin. This facility is called Femto-Science Factory (FSF). It is a GeV-scale multi-turn ERL-based light source. This light source will operate in the diffraction limited regime for X-rays and offer a short length of a light pulse in the femtosecond region. The average and peak brightness will be at least an order of magnitude higher than achievable from storage rings. In this work an overview of these two projects is given. One potential weakness of the Energy Recovery Linacs is a regenerative form of BBU – transverse beam break up instability. This instability can limit a beam current. In this work the threshold current of the BBU instability was calculated for BERLinPro. The comparison of two linacs based on different types of superconducting cavities is made. Different methods of BBU suppression are investigated (e.g. the influence of solenoid, pseudo-reflector and quadruple triplets in the linac structure on the BBU threshold). Analytic solutions of the Twiss parameters are used to find the best optic in the linac with and without external focusing are presented. Large scale ERL facilities can be realized on different schemes of beam acceleration. This dissertation compares a direct injection scheme with acceleration in a 6 GeV linac, a two-stage injection with acceleration in a 6 GeV linac and a multi-turn (3-turn) scheme with a two-stage injection and two main 1 GeV linacs. The key points of the comparison were total costs and BBU instability. Linac optic solutions are presented.

Full textAbstract:
A 2D Unconstrained Third Order Shear Deformation Theory (UTSDT) is presented for the evaluation of tangential and normal stresses in moderately thick functionally graded conical and cylindrical shells subjected to mechanical loadings. Several types of graded materials are investigated. The functionally graded material consists of ceramic and metallic constituents. A four parameter power law function is used. The UTSDT allows the presence of a finite transverse shear stress at the top and bottom surfaces of the graded shell. In addition, the initial curvature effect included in the formulation leads to the generalization of the present theory (GUTSDT). The Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method is used to discretize the derivatives in the governing equations, the external boundary conditions and the compatibility conditions. Transverse and normal stresses are also calculated by integrating the three dimensional equations of equilibrium in the thickness direction. In this way, the six components of the stress tensor at a point of the conical or cylindrical shell or panel can be given. The initial curvature effect and the role of the power law functions are shown for a wide range of functionally conical and cylindrical shells under various loading and boundary conditions. Finally, numerical examples of the available literature are worked out.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contain three chapters. Default Risk in Corporate Bond Pricing. This chapter provides a model for how the corporate bond default risk influences the systematic risk and an empirical analysis of the systematic and idiosyncratic parts of U.S. corporate bond returns during 2001-2005. The average corporate bond beta is low and positive (0.06). Investment grade bonds have negative betas (between - 0.01 and -0.13) and non-investment grade bonds have positive betas (between 0.11 and 1.48), but both groups have similar within groups systematic risks. When controls for interest rate and liquidity risks are introduced there are still remaining default probabilities, implying that the default risk is in part systematic and in part idiosyncratic. Returns to Defaulted Corporate Bonds. In the second chapter short term excess returns in a sample of 279 defaulted US corporate bonds are tested for using multiple regression analysis. There are robust excess returns after controlling for market and liquidity risk. The expected recovery rate during 2001-2006 is estimated to be, on average, four percentage points lower the first month after default than the present value of the recovery rate after nine months. Capital Structure Choices. The trade-off and pecking order theories are tested using both established tests from the literature and new tests. The main contributions of this chapter are the new tests of financing of operating net assets (for the pecking order theory), the mean reversion tests (for the trade-off theory) and the test of mean reversion and trends. These tests allow for extended conclusions on the validity of the pecking order versus the tradeoff theory.<br><p>Diss. Stockholm : Handelshögskolan, 2008 Sammanfattning jämte 3 uppsatser</p>

Previous issue date: 2010-02-26<br>CAPES<br>Bio-indicators are frequently used for environmental quality studies, monitoring of degraded areas and recovery processes, because they are intimately associated to specific landscape characteristics and respond to environmental changes by alterations in vital functions. In this sense, the study of the behaviour of edaphic organisms can contribute significantly to the evaluation of the environmental quality and to strategies and processes aiming the recovery and rehabilitation of areas affected by some type of degradation. This study aimed monitoring the colonisation by the soil fauna community of areas degraded by bauxite mining activities and revegetated with a mixture of native and leguminous species in the municipality of Porto Trombetas-PA, Brazil. Material was sampled in the years 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2008, in a chronosequence of regenerated areas of bauxite waste covered or not with topsoil, and in plantings in former bauxite tailing ponds. The individuals were captured in pitfall traps and separated in the Laboratory of Soil Fauna of the Embrapa Agrobiologia Research Centre. The evaluated parameters were abundance, richness, Shannon index, Pielou?s equitability index and the colonization patterns of fauna groups. The soil fauna profiles were obtained by nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMS) ordination, and the response of soil fauna community was evaluated using principal response curves (PRC). The results showed that the time from planting and the nutrient availability were determining factors during the environmental recovery of the system, especially in the bauxite waste areas revegetated in 1984, 1992 and 1994, and in the tailing pond areas that received higher amounts of fertilizers. In these areas, the vegetation development caused a better colonization and structuring of the soil fauna community, increasing its diversity and reestablishing the ecological processes.<br>Bioindicadores s?o frequentemente utilizados para estudos de avalia??o da qualidade ambiental, como no monitoramento de ?reas degradadas e de processos de recupera??o, uma vez que est?o intimamente associados a caracter?sticas espec?ficas da paisagem e respondem ?s mudan?as ambientais por meio de altera??es na composi??o e estrutura das comunidades. Neste sentido, o estudo do comportamento de organismos ed?ficos pode contribuir significativamente para a avalia??o da qualidade ambiental assim como de estrat?gias e processos destinados ? recupera??o e reabilita??o de ?reas que sofreram algum tipo de degrada??o. Este trabalho teve por objetivo acompanhar a coloniza??o da comunidade da fauna ed?fica em ?reas degradadas pela minera??o de bauxita e revegetadas com a mistura de esp?cies nativas e leguminosas arb?reas e arbustivas em Porto Trombetas-PA. As amostragens foram feitas nos anos 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004 e 2008 em reflorestamentos de diferentes idades plantados sobre material est?ril com e sem cobertura de solo superficial e em plantios em tanque de rejeito da lavagem da bauxita. Os indiv?duos foram capturados em armadilhas do tipo ?pitfall? e triados no Laborat?rio de Fauna de Solo da Embrapa Agrobiologia. Os par?metros usados para avalia??o foram: a abund?ncia, a riqueza, o ?ndice de diversidade Shannon, o ?ndice de Equabilidade de Pielou e o padr?o de coloniza??o dos indiv?duos da fauna do solo. Os perfis da fauna do solo foram obtidos pelo ordenamento multivariado atrav?s da t?cnica de escalonamento multidimensional n?o m?trico (NMS) e a resposta da comunidade de fauna ed?fica ?s varia??es ambientais foram avaliadas por meio de curvas de respostas principais (PRC). Os resultados mostraram que a idade do plantio e a disponibilidade de nutrientes foram fatores determinantes na recomposi??o da comunidade de fauna de solo, a qual foi maior nos reflorestamentos de 1984, 1992 e 1994 no est?ril e nas ?reas do tanque de rejeito que receberam maiores quantidades de fertilizantes. Nessas ?reas, o desenvolvimento da vegeta??o levou ? maior coloniza??o e a melhor estrutura??o da comunidade de fauna ed?fica, aumentando a sua diversidade e o restabelecimento de processos ecol?gicos.

Full textAbstract:
The topic of the thesis is Regulation (EC) No 1896/2006 of the EP and of the Council of 12 December 2006 creating a European order for payment procedure. Regulation established an additional and optional means for the claimant, with the purpose to simplify, speed up and reduce the costs of litigation in cross-border cases concerning uncontested pecuniary claims and to permit the free circulation of European orders for payment throughout the Member States without any intermediate proceedings prior to recognition and enforcement. The aim of the thesis is to analyze the current shape of legislation, its interpretation by the ECJ and existing practical experiences with the application of the tool in the Czech Republic. Chapter one is devoted to the development in the field of judicial cooperation in civil matters, called as well as European civil procedure, and to the summary of the existing regulations. Chapter two deals with the thorough analysis of the laid down proceedings and its consecutive phases. It also contains the evaluation of these regulatory efforts. Chapter three focuses on the analysis of a reference for a preliminary ruling in the Case C-215/11 Szyrocka which is not yet decided. The reference depicts problematic points of coordination between the Regulation and civil procedures of Member States. Last chapter pursues the application of the European order for payment in the Czech judicial system. It summarizes the statistical data about usage of the procedure in the Czech Republic. Moreover, it presents the findings of the qualitative research carried out at thirty district and regional courts.

Previous issue date: 2011-01-26<br>A recordação livre de listas de palavras é uma tarefa que tem sido utilizada para avaliar os efeitos da privação de sono prévia na memória declarativa, porém os resultados são controversos. Uma possível explicação é a “impureza” da tarefa, pois o número total de palavras recordadas reflete o uso de diferentes tipos de memória e estratégias de organização de informações, algumas das quais podem não ser prejudicadas durante a privação de sono. Nosso objetivo foi estudar os efeitos de duas noites de privação de sono e uma noite de recuperação de sono na recordação imediata de listas de palavras considerando a recordação pela curva de posição serial, que pode refletir o uso de diferentes estratégias e tipos de memória. Investigamos também a susceptibilidade à interferência. Para este fim, 24 voluntários jovens saudáveis foram alocados em um de dois grupos experimentais: duas noites de privação total de sono seguidas de uma noite de recuperação de sono (n=11) ou três noites de sono normal (grupo controle; n=13). Os voluntários leram e recordaram, em voz alta, cinco listas de quinze palavras não relacionadas, uma de cada vez, no período da tarde, num momento basal e após as três noites subsequentes. Na análise de variância (ANOVA com medidas repetidas) não foi observada diminuição na recordação livre durante a privação de sono quando da comparação direta entre grupos em cada uma das posições e sessões de testes, tampouco aumento da suscetibilidade à interferência. Porém, houve melhora no desempenho em ambos os grupos em relação ao desempenho basal ao longo do experimento relativo às palavras nas primeiras e posições seriais intermediárias, indicando o desenvolvimento de estratégias de recordação de memórias declarativas. Porém, este aprendizado ocorreu antes no grupo controle e foi evidenciado no grupo privado somente após a recuperação de sono. Não houve alteração da recordação das palavras nas últimas posições seriais, indicando que a memória fonológica de curto prazo foi preservada. Conclui-se que a privação prévia de sono não prejudica a memória ou aumenta a interferência, e permite o desenvolvimento de estratégias, mas pode diminuir a vantagem no uso dessas estratégias de aprendizagem. Contudo, o uso dessas estratégias é equivalente à do grupo controle após uma noite de recuperação de sono.<br>Free recall of word lists is a task that has been used to evaluate the effects of prior sleep deprivation on declarative memory, but the results are controversial. A possible explanation for this is task impurity, because the total number of words recalled reflects use of different types of memory and strategies for organizing information, some of which may be spared by sleep deprivation. We studied the effects of two nights of total sleep deprivation and one night of recovery sleep on immediate recall of word lists considering recall by serial position, which can reflect the use of different strategies and types of memory. We also assessed susceptibility to interference. To this end, 24 healthy young volunteers were allocated to one of two groups: two nights of total sleep deprivation followed by one night of recovery sleep (n = 11) or three nights of normal sleep (group control, n = 13). Participants read and remembered aloud lists of five lists of fifteen unrelated words, one at a time, in the afternoon, a baseline and after three subsequent nights. In the analysis of variance (ANOVA with repeated measures) was not reduction in free recall during sleep deprivation when a direct comparison between groups in each of the test sessions was carried out, nor increase of susceptibility to interference. However, there was an improvement in performance in both groups throughout the experiment considering baseline performance relative to the first and intermediate serial positions, suggesting the development of recall strategies of declarative memories. This type of learning, however, occurred in the control group earlier in the study and was evident in the deprived group only after recovery sleep. There was no change in recall of words in the last serial positions, indicating that phonological short-term memory was preserved. We conclude that prior sleep deprivation does not affect memory or increase interference, and allows the development of strategies, but may decrease the advantage in using these learning strategies, which returns to control levels after one night of recovery sleep.<br>TEDE<br>BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações

Full textAbstract:
Inspiré par une croyance fondée sur l’inégalité des parties, le droit del’exécution poursuit le dessein d’un recouvrement rapide, sûr et peu coûteux descréances. Afin de relever ce défi, le droit OHADA a fait de la sécurité juridique uneexigence fondamentale devant démontrer son aptitude à répondre aux attentes desdifférentes parties. Cependant, la pratique du recouvrement permet d’identifier dessources d’insécurité juridique préjudiciable au climat de confiance voulu par lelégilateur communautaire. Ainsi, le caractère quasi-informel du recouvrementamiable, la résistance des juridictions nationales ou l’ineffectivité de certainesdécisions judiciaires perturbent la prévisibilité inhérente à l’exigence de sécuritéjuridique. Conçu comme un système cohérent, le droit de l’exécution OHADA offredes ressources interprétatives propices à la correction des lacunes observées. Dansces conditions, le juge occupe un rôle central dans la promotion de la sécuritéjuridique. D’une part, il assure le contrôle des prérogatives individuelles des partiesdans le sens de réguler les conflits d’intérêts induits par des attentes souventcontradictoires. Dans cette optique, l’une des finalités de l’intervention du juge estd’assurer le respect du recours à la contrainte dans l’exécution. D’autre part,l’exigence de sécurité juridique servira au juge à établir une meilleure corrélationentre toutes les techniques garantissant le paiement du créancier dans un souciconstant d’efficacité. En l’absence d’une consécration explicite de la sécuritéjuridique, la proposition d’une relecture de la théorie de l’exécution en droit privé offrel’opportunité de voir tous les mécanismes de son intégration dans le recouvrementdes créances en tenant compte de la réalité juridico-économique de la créance<br>Inspired by the belief grounded on inequalities between parties, theenforcement law continues to design a fast, safe and inexpensive debt recovery. Tomeet this challenge, the OHADA law made legal certainty requirement which mustshow its ability to live up to the expectations of the different parties. However, therecovery practice identifies sources of legal uncertainty detrimental to the climate oftrust advocated by the Community legislature. Thus, the quasi-informal nature of debtcollection, the resistance of national courts or the ineffectiveness of certain judicialdecisions disrupt the predictability pertaining to the requirement of legal certainty.Designed as a coherent system, The OHADA enforcement law affords interpretativeresources conducive to the rectification of the flaws spotted. In these circumstances,the judge plays a central role in promoting legal certainty. On the one hand, hemonitors the individual prerogatives of the parties in the direction of regulatingconflicts of interest arising from the often conflicting expectations. In this context, oneof the purposes of the intervention of the judge is to ensure compliance of coercion inthe execution. On the other hand, the demand of legal certainty will allow the judge toestablish a better correlation between all techniques guaranteeing the payment of thecreditor for the constant sake of efficacy. In the absence of an explicit consecration oflegal certainty, the proposal for a reinterpretation of the theory of enforcement lawprovides the opportunity to see all the mechanisms of its integration in debt recovery,taking into account the legal and economic substance of the claim

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>輔仁大學<br>電機工程學系碩士班<br>101<br>This thesis proposes a variable step-size phase and frequency offset acquisition (VS-PFOA) algorithm with phase-frequency detector (PFD) for blind carrier recovery in the presence of a large carrier frequency offset (CFO). With the help of a novel soft switch, the proposed VS-PFOA with PFD smoothly facilitates operation between a frequency detector (FD) for frequency acquisition and a phase detector (PD) for fine phase tracking. Simulation results demonstrate that the VS-PFOA with PFD provides fast frequency acquisition in the transient stage as well as small steady-state phase error when high-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) modulation schemes are used, and, moreover, it exhibits robustness for both low and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立中興大學<br>電機工程學系所<br>98<br>This thesis mainly presents the blind equalization for high-order QAM cable modem systems. By applying the blind equalization, the inverse channel impulse response can be accurately found and the amplitude and phase of the received symbols can also be corrected. Blind equalizations operate the computations and adjust equalizer coefficients without training symbols by only using received symbols. The generalized multi-modulus algorithm (Generalized Multi-Modulus Algorithm, GMMA) is an extension of the typical blind equalization algorithm, which is called the constant modulus algorithm (CMA). In order to let the equalizer have a lower symbol error rate (SER) in high-order QAM systems, we design a two-stage joint GMMA and Soft Decision-Directed (SDD) blind equalizer. In the first stage, the joint GMMA and SDD scheme is applied for the purpose of fast convergence. When the equalization approaches the threshold of convergence, the convergence detector switches the first stage equalization to the second stage equalization, where the SDD scheme is applied merely for the purpose to reduce the stable mean square error (MSE) in the second stage.
In difference QAM modulations, through the mathematical analysis and Matlab simulations, our proposed scheme can achieve faster convergence speed and lower MSE than other blind algorithms. Meanwhile, at the same signal to noise ratio (SNR) environment, our proposed equalization can also obtain lower SER than other blind algorithms.
In order to solve the carrier offset problem where the transmitter and receiver generate two different oscillation frequencies, we propose the joint adaptive equalization and carrier recovery algorithm for high-order QAM systems. Because the GMMA and the carrier recovery interfere with each other, we replace the GMMA equalization with the Multi-Level Modulus Algorithm (MLMA). By applying the MLMA equalizer to eliminate some channel effects and noise interferences, the carrier recovery loop can effectively eliminate the carrier offset, and finally a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is also applied to obtain lower MSE and SER.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>中興大學<br>電機工程學系所<br>99<br>In this thesis, we propose an Multi-Level Modulus Algorithm（MLMA） that has fast convergence features and can be applied to the blind equalizer. We also use two-level feedback equalizers（FBE）and a convergence detector in the receiver design. This proposed MLMA algorithm can be used for 64/256/1024 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation（QAM）systems, and it seperated a single-region modulus to concentric circles of modulus, and then this work will raise updated precisions of error coefficients. The proposed two-level FBE architecture can reduce bit error rate (BER) further, and the convergence detector can switch working modes to increase the convergence speed of equalizations.
When the convergence detector works in the acquisition mode, the carrier recovery loop will choose bigger updated coefficients to track a large carrier frequency offset（CFO）. When the acquisition frequency offset is close to the correct carrier frequency offset, the working mode of the convergence detector will be changed to the tracking mode, and updated coefficients will be replaced with smaller updated coefficients for tracking CFO accurately. By this scheme, we can achieve a fast CFO detection and a fast convergence of equalization.
In the equalizer architecture design, we use two-level FBE architecture to reduce the bit error rate. By the first level FBE, we can increase the correctness of constellation-point convergences. By the second level FBE, we can further increase precisions of constellation-point convergences. Thus, each received symbol can be close to the correct constellation positions, and the BER will be reduced.
We complete floating-point and fixed-point functional simulations in the MATLAB software platform, and we also implement the proposed design with hardware. In the hardware implementation, we realize a 1024 QAM equalizer, and verify the correctness of our design by the SMIMS FPGA-based hardware and software co-simulation platform.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>運輸與物流管理學系<br>103<br>“Order Online Pick Up in-Store” is an innovative logistics distribution system created by FamilyMart in Taiwan in March 1999. It combines online order, distribution and convenience store services so that it increases the risks of service failure during the transaction. A customer’s attitude towards a firm depends in part upon the perception of value and the expected service level, so different consumers encountering service failure and receiving service recovery from the same company would have different senses. Therefore, this paper studies the relationship between consumer decision-making and Astrology, and explores whether “gender, online shopping experience and consumer decision-making” will affect the customer satisfaction after companies give them service recovery. The results show that Astrology is partly related with consumer decision-making and the shopping frequency is interfered with the service recovery and customer satisfaction. The results obtained in this study can help decision makers of a logistics company to improve the delivery service quality and provide appropriate service recovery strategies.

碩士<br>國防大學<br>法律學系<br>106<br>The main purpose of setting up a bid bond in the government procurement process is to prevent the successful bidder from fulfilling the contract and to prevent the bidder from impeding the fairness of the bidding process. The amount of credit and the form of calculation of the security deposit are categorized as a certain amount or a certain percentage of the price in accordance with Article 9(1) of the guarantee policy amended on August 15, 102. The document, and the statutory ceiling set out in item 2 of the same article, shall not exceed 5 percent or a certain percentage of the total or estimated total amount of the factory, not exceeding 5 percent of the factory's trademark price, and shall not exceed NT$ 5. Tens of millions. In the event that there is no restitution or recovery of the pledged bid, the small amount will result in a serious financial burden on the manufacturer, while the large ones may even cause the bidder’s business difficulties to close on the verge of closure.
The relevant pawn payment recovery system is stipulated in Article 31, Item 2 of the Government Procurement Law, in which Section 8 “Other ethical violations that are determined by the competent authority to affect procurement justice” is the result of legislators' influence on the bidder’s purchases. Violations of statutory acts cannot be stipulated in advance, and in order to establish effective administrative controls, the authority is summed up to the competent authority to be supplemented by other violations of articles 1 to 7 of this article that affect the fairness of procurement. Types of.
However, the “argument” of the competent authority according to this paragraph should be its “legal order” or “administrative rule”. Can the effectiveness be followed by the type of behavior that was subsequently amended? In view of this, the practice and doctrine have different views. This paper clarifies and analyzes the documents related to the security of the bidding, the interpretation of the authorities, and the judgments of the substantive courts. It is supplemented by the legal basis of administrative law and gives a qualitative assessment of the letter of the Public Construction Commission,Executive Yuan and reasonably infer the scope of its applicable, in the premise of benefit and anti-fraud, both the protection of the rights of manufacturers.

And due to demand and supply are difficult to forecast, the uncertainty of two-echelon inventory system including multi-retailers is very considerable. This research refers to the related literatures about recovered inventory system to explore different inventory lot-size policies of new ordered and remanufactured products applying in two-echelon inventory system including multi-retailers, then considers whether aggregate disposal option of return products will affect the total cost of inventory system or not. Finally, to test whether the minimal unit total costs exist significant difference or not among different cases of proposed model. The result shows except model 1 that not considers disposal option and including single retailer, there’re no significant difference of minimal unit total costs among Case 1 that repair rate is greater than demand rate and Case 3 that repair rate is equal to demand rate, there’re significant differences among these cases.

Full textAbstract:
Sudden personal transformation (SPT) was defined as a subjectively reported,
positive, profound, and lasting personal change that follows a relatively brief and
memorable inner experience. Although such change has been described in numerous
biographies, works of fiction, and religious and scholarly texts, a consistent definition
and systematic program of research is lacking in the psychological literature. Moreover,
almost nothing is known about what causes such change from the subjective point of
view of individuals who have experienced it first hand. This study used semi-structured
interviews and thematic analysis to explore the common beliefs of three participants
about the factors that facilitated and the mechanisms that caused their SPT. Findings
reveal that all participants reported a life transition, feeling miserable, feeling exhausted,
feeling unable to resolve adverse circumstances, reaching a breaking point, and support
from others facilitated their individual SPT’s. All participants also indicated that a
formalized activity or ceremony as well as a process outside of their conscious control
(either a higher power or a deep inner wisdom) produced or caused their SPT’s.
Implications for future research and counselling practice are discussed.<br>Graduate
