Full textKonsten att digitalt rekonstruera en verklig miljö har länge varit intressant för forskare. Nyligen har området även tilldragit sig mer och mer uppmärksamhet från företag som ser en möjlighet att föra den här typen av teknik till produkter på marknaden. I synnerhet är digital rekonstruktion av byggnader en nisch som har både stor potential och möjlighet till förbättring. Med denna bakgrund så presenterar detta examensarbete designen för och utvärderingen av en pipeline som skapats för att detektera och rätta till approximativt platta regioner i arkitektoniska miljöer. Miljöerna är 3D-rekonstruerade triangelmeshar skapade från RGB-bilder. Examensarbetet omfattar även utvärdering av olika komponenter för att uppnå detta, som avslutas med att de mest lämpliga komponenterna presenteras. Målet i korthet är att förbättra den visuella kvaliteten av en rekonstruerad modell. Den slutgiltiga pipelinen består av två övergripande block - ett för att detektera initiala plan och ett för att förbättra de funna planen. Det första blocket använder en multi-label energiformulering på grafen som beskriver den rekonstruerade ytan. Straffvärden tilldelas varje vertex och varje båge i grafen baserade på varje vertex label. På så sätt beskriver grafen ett Markov Random Field. Energin är sedan minimerad med alpha-expansion-algoritmen. Det andra blocket använder heuristiker för att låta planen växa, slå ihop närliggande plan och för att extrahera avvikande detaljer. Resultat på flera miljöer presenteras också för att påvisa att den visuella kvaliteten har förbättrats utan att rekonstruktionens noggrannhet har försämrats jämfört med ground truth-data.

Full textEn esta tesis se incluyen los resultados y conclusiones de un estudio de geomorfología tectónica en los Andes del Norte Chico de Chile (28,5-32°S) orientado a reconstruir la evolución del relieve desde el Neógeno en esta región. Los periodos de alzamiento principales son determinados a través del análisis geomorfológico de paleosuperficies, la geocronología de U-Pb circón en niveles volcánicos sobreyacientes y la isotopía cosmogénica. A su vez, las variaciones espaciales y temporales en la exhumación son determinadas al combinar la termocronología de trazas de fisión en apatito (AFT) y de (U-Th)/ He en apatito (AHe) con geocronología de U-Pb circón a ambos lados del frente topográfico que separa la Cordillera de la Costa de la Cordillera Frontal. Las rocas mesozoicas de la Cordillera de la Costa presentan edades AFT entre ~ 60 y 40 Ma y edades AHe alrededor de 30 Ma, mientras que las rocas Paleozoicas y Cenozoicas de la Cordillera Frontal presentan edades AFT y AHe entre ~ 40 y 8 Ma y ~ 20 y 6 Ma, respectivamente. El modelamiento termal de los datos termocronológicos indica que la Cordillera de la Costa fue exhumada de manera acelerada entre ~ 65-50 Ma y fue escasamente exhumada desde ~ 45 Ma hasta, al menos, ~ 30 Ma. La exhumación acelerada entre ~ 65-50 Ma se correlaciona con eventos tectónicos compresivos del Mesozoico Tardío al Cenozoico Temprano. Al norte de 31°S, los modelos termales indican que la exhumación comenzó antes de ~ 30 Ma al pie del frente topográfico. En este sector la exhumación fue continua hasta los 20 Ma, mientras que hacia el este, episodios de exhumación acelerada tuvieron lugar ~ 22-18 Ma y ~ 7 Ma. La exhumación Oligocena se correlaciona con la denudación de una cadena montañosa Eocena ubicada a lo largo del eje de la Cordillera Frontal, mientras que los episodios de exhumación durante el Mioceno Temprano y Tardío se correlacionan con la inversión tectónica progresiva de una cuenca extensional de intra-arco que se desarrolló durante el Oligoceno a lo largo del actual límite de Chile y Argentina. Al sur de los 31°S, el frente topográfico se habría desarrollado con posterioridad, comenzando con un episodio de exhumación acelerada entre los 22-16 Ma al pie del frente topográfico y extendiéndose hasta el Mioceno Tardío hacia el este. La exhumación acelerada a 22-16 Ma en esta área se correlaciona con la inversión de la cuenca extensional de Abanico, desarrollada entre el Eoceno y el Oligoceno al sur de 32°S. Antes del Mioceno Temprano, una extensa pediplanicie cercana al nivel del mar dominaba el paisaje de la actual Cordillera de la Costa. Al norte de los 31°S, esta superficie se desarrolló al pie de un relieve Eoceno reconocido por la termocronología, mientras que al sur de los 31°S lo hizo al oeste del cordón magmático Eoceno. El desarrollo de esta pediplanicie es consistente con la escasa exhumación sufrida por la Cordillera de la Costa durante el Eoceno-Oligoceno Tardío como indican los datos termocronológicos. La pediplanicie fue dislocada durante el Mioceno Temprano generando el alzamiento de ~ 1,1 km de la Cordillera de la Costa oriental respecto de la Cordillera de la Costa occidental. Posteriormente, durante el Mioceno Tardío, tanto la Cordillera de la Costa oriental como la occidental fueron alzadas ~ 1,2 km. Una nueva superficie de bajo relieve formada por plataformas de abrasión marina a lo largo de la costa y por strath terraces y pedimentos al interior de los valles principales se desarrolló entre el Pleistoceno Temprano y Medio en la Cordillera de la Costa occidental y finalmente se alzó ~ 150 m post-500 ka. Los principales eventos de alzamiento y/o exhumación acelerada identificados para el Mioceno Temprano, el Mioceno Tardío y el Pleistoceno Medio se correlacionan con episodios de incremento de la deformación contraccional reconocidos ampliamente a lo largo de los Andes Centrales, que habrían comenzado después del quiebre de la placa de Farallón en las placas de Nazca y Cocos a los 25 Ma.

Full textThe development and birth of the Orange County Regional History Center is perhaps unlike any other local history museum in the United States. Its story is worth telling because of its long gestation, the difficulties in bringing this center to life, and the goals of the people who made it possible. All of these elements are a vital part of the history of Orange County, Florida and should not be overlooked. In this light, this thesis will discuss more fully three topics in relation to the creation of the new History Center. First, it will look at the American museum field and its role as a community-building enterprise in American society. Second, it will examine the history of Central Florida, a region that sorely lacks a strong sense of community. Third, it will trace the transformation of the Orange County Historical Society and Museum from a small volunteer-run museum into the Orange County Regional History Center, the largest history museum in Central Florida. The ultimate goal of the History Center is to foster a sense of community in a region with little feeling of connectedness. This community building goal has evolved from both a renewed emphasis on community service in the museum field, and the desire of the History Center's leaders and staff to serve more effectively the Central Florida region. My thesis tells the story of the history and development of the Regional History Center, an institution dedicated to bringing the diverse community of Central Florida together for discussion, dialogue, and reflection. It also identifies some of the new roles and functions it must assume in the future and the new tasks that await it as it strives to become more useful and relevant to its community. In that way, and through that resource, the institution can help build the foundation for a more promising future for present and future residents of Orange County.

Full textThe spatial and temporal distribution of the Wall Shear Stress (WSS), which is believed to be of primary importance in the development of restenosis should be comparable between the flat and the cylindrical stent configuration models. The velocity and shear strain rate distributions will be compared between the flat and cylindrical stent configurations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in order to analyse the feasibility of using a flat instead of a cylindrical version of the stent model for PIV experiments. It will be shown that for a physiological pulsatile flow the flat model yields results in shear strain rate spatial and temporal distribution that is comparable to the cylindrical model. A more PIV compatible, efficient and less refractive error prone validated flat model would be advantageous when several stent designs influence on the local hemodynamics around the strut geometries have to be studied quantitatively and optimized.

The present study explores the relation between lexis and culture through the analysis of neologisms by borrowing (Haugen, 1972; Guilbert, 1975) in lexical fields. The neologisms are verified in Portuguese in the speech of Italian descendants who live in a rural area of Caxias do Sul, RS, Brazil. The data were collected from 24 sociolinguistic interviews of the BDSer corpus (UCS - DELE - Mestrado em Letras e Cultura Regional). The 42 units which were analyzed are borrowings from Italian dialects still spoken in the area. To establish the relation between cultural practices and lexical innovation, the data are structured in lexical fields which are, in turn, integrated in a network format, according to Biderman (1981). The research implied an ethnographical study in order to make possible the identification of social practices associated to the use of the units, justifying, thus, the organization of the lexical fields. The data were divided into two semantic networks which represent the basic cultural equipment of Bevilácqua, one of the studied communities.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: In regions of moderate seismicity it has been shown that a suitable structural system is created when designing the shear wall with a plastic hinge zone at the lower part of the wall, with the shear walls resisting lateral loads and all other structural elements designed to resist gravity loads. A suitably stiff foundation is required for the assumption of plastic hinge zones to hold true. This foundation should have limited rotation and should remain elastic when lateral loads are applied to the structure. Ensuring a foundation with a greater capacity than the shear wall results in excessively large shear wall foundations being required in areas of moderate seismicity for buildings with no basement level. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of reducing the size of shear wall foundations in areas of moderate seismicity for buildings with no basement level. The investigation is aimed at allowing shear wall foundation rocking and taking into account the contribution of structural frames to the lateral stiffness of the structure. An example building was chosen to investigate this possibility. Firstly, lateral force-displacement capacities were determined for a shear wall and an internal reinforced concrete frame of this investigated building. Nonlinear momentrotation behaviour was determined for the wall foundation size that would traditionally be required as well as for six other smaller foundations. The above capacity curves against lateral loads were then used to compile a simplified model of the structural systems assumed to contribute to the lateral stiffness of the building. This simplified model therefore combined the effect of the shear wall, internal frame and wall foundation. Nonlinear time-history analyses were performed on this simplified model to investigate the dynamic response of the structure with different wall foundation sizes. By assessing response results on a global and local scale, it was observed that significantly smaller shear wall foundations are possible when allowing foundation rocking and taking into account the contribution of other structural elements to the lateral stiffness of the building.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Daar is reeds getoon dat ʼn voldoende strukturele sisteem verkry word in gebiede van gematigde seismiese risiko indien ʼn skuifmuur ontwerp word met ʼn plastiese skarnier sone naby die ondersteuning van die muur. Skuifmure word dan ontwerp om weerstand te bied teen laterale kragte met alle ander strukturele elemente ontwerp om gravitasie kragte te weerstaan. Vir die aanname van plastiese skarnier sones om geldig te wees word ʼn fondasie met voldoende styfheid benodig. Só ʼn fondasie moet beperkte rotasie toelaat en moet elasties bly wanneer laterale kragte aan die struktuur aangewend word. ʼn Fondasie met ʼn groter kapasiteit as dié van die skuifmuur lei daartoe dat uitermate groot fondasies benodig word in gebiede van gematigde seismiese risiko vir geboue met geen kelder vlak. Hierdie studie is daarop gemik om die moontlikheid van kleiner skuifmuur fondasies te ondersoek vir geboue met geen kelder vlak in gebiede van gematigde seismiese risiko. Die ondersoek het ten doel om skuifmuur fondasie wieg aksie toe te laat en die bydrae van strukturele rame tot die laterale styfheid van die struktuur in ag te neem. Eerstens is die laterale krag-verplasing kapasiteit van ʼn skuifmuur en ʼn interne gewapende beton raam van die gekose gebou bepaal. Nie-lineêre moment-rotasie gedrag is bepaal vir die skuifmuur fondasie grootte wat tradisioneel benodig sou word asook vir ses ander kleiner fondasie grotes. Die bogenoemde kapasiteit kurwes is gebruik om ʼn vereenvoudigde model van die strukturele sisteme wat aanvaar word om laterale styfheid tot die gebou te verleen, op te stel. Hierdie vereenvoudigde model kombineer gevolglik die effek van die skuifmuur, interne raam en skuifmuur fondasie. Nie-lineêre tydgeskiedenis analises is uitgevoer op die vereenvoudigde model ten einde die dinamiese reaksie van die struktuur te ondersoek vir verskillende fondasie grotes. Resultate is beoordeel op ʼn globale en lokale vlak. Daar is waargeneem dat aansienlik kleiner skuifmuur fondasies moontlik is deur wieg aksie van die fondasie toe te laat en die bydrae van ander strukturele elemente tot die laterale styfheid van die gebou in ag te neem.

ABSTRACT: The Gatun Structure, (Latitude N 09° 05&softsign; 58.1", Longitude W 79° 47&softsign; 21.8", situated in the triple-canopy rainforest 10 km to the WSW of the Gamboa and about 2 km south of the Isle of Barbacoas, Republic de Panama), is a partially inundated, quasi-concentric surface feature 2.2 - 3km in diameter, which appears in aerial photographs and in radar imagery as an arcuate chain of islands with a raised center. Although the structure has been heavily weathered and altered, it has retained morphology consistent with complex craters: an elevated circular central uplift 500-600 m in diameter and 50m high, and arcuate boundary ridges (a rim structure?) ranging from 50-100 meters high. Within the central peak, highly altered and fractured siltstone of the Gatuncillo (?) formation (Eocene) (+-) older rocks are uplifted and exposed through surrounding calcareous units of the Caimito formation (Oligocene) and the Las Cascadas formation (Miocene), the major target rocks in the region.
ABSTRACT: Lithologies in the structure include highly fractured siliciclastic rocks (siltstone, sandstones and greywackes), limestones with anomalous spherical glass inclusions, both black and white hypocrystalline glasses (possible melt rocks), lithic fragmental breccias, and melt-bearing breccias (possible impact melt breccias and suevites), some of which contain flow banding and evidence for selective melting of minerals. Three types of spherules (glass, fluid-drop and lithic), a pyroxene-quartz "necklace" disequilibrium structure (coronas), plagioclase feldspars exhibiting mosaicism and partially amorphization, possible liquid immiscibility between melts of calcite and felpspathic glass, as well as decomposition of titanomagnite or ulvospinel, are all petrographic indicators of a hypervelocity impact event.
ABSTRACT: The structure is crosscut by numerous dikes of unshocked basalt and basaltic andesite related to volcanism along the Panamanian segment of the Central American arc to the south. However, the lithologies of the Gatun Structure are chemically inconsistent with the regional volcanic rocks and the unshocked volcanic rocks that crosscut the structure. The lack of an igneous relationship between the Gatun structure and the explosive volcanism of Panamanian arc the presence of classical shock lithologies within the site, and the occurrence of spherules, maskelynite and other disequilibrium shock features in the rocks, an impact origin is our preferred interpretation for the Gatun structure.

Esta disertación tiene como objetivo desarrollar un glosario de palabras y expresiones presentes en el hablar del profesional del ganado. El corpus que sirvió de base era el léxico empleado por personas conectadas a trabajar con el ganado y caballo (vaqueros y los Caballeros). Basado en el socio y etnolinguística de algunos aspectos del hablar del vaquero. Para obtener los contenidos, se hizo necesario hacer una base teórica en las ciencias del léxico a través de la variación regional, social y cultural. De trabajo hasta las lexías do hablar del vaquero, a través del ciclo de ganado, se pretende ver cómo se constituyeron las unidades y los factores que extralingüísticos, sociales y culturales, a interferir y a determinar el léxico. Para justificar el corpus, hizo una estudio del histórico del ciclo ganadero en una comunidad de vaqueros situada en la región de Garanhuns, Pernambuco, donde el Nordeste llovizna . Entre las fiestas, las que se destacan son el Vaquejada y coger del ganado. En estas bromas , la rutina es cambiada. La sumisión se rompe y se impone la lógica del coraje, la celebración y la alegría. La metodología empleada fue la recopilación de datos a través de entrevistas con cuestionarios, transcripción grafemática seguido por la descripción de las formas léxicas recogidas a través de consultas a los diccionarios etimológicos de sinónimos y etimológicos. Los entrevistados ejercen directamente algunas actividades en el sector de la cultura y del ganado salvaje de Pernambuco. Los datos recogidos se organizaron por campos semánticos como: el trabajo del vaquero con ganado; la fiesta del buey; diversión del vaquero; coger el buey; vaquejada; cabalgada; aboios y melodías. Hemos llevado a cabo el trabajo de campo durante la ocurrencia del partido en algunas comunidades rurales, junto a los caballeros y vaqueros enamorados de partidos ganados cuyo objetivo era examinar el corpus para ser usado en el glosario. El universo de la investigación incluyó 270 lexias. La elección de este tema sucedió por razón de la escasez de investigaciones respecto a el vocabulario y las lexías del vaquero. Además, comprendo que la investigación trae un contenido enraizado en la vida personal, por eso, el presente trabajo propone un enfoque en la vida cultural de esta investigadora que nació, creció y vive insertada en este universo. Otro punto es que es de fundamental importancia para preservar esta colección de la cultura popular y regional.
Esta dissertação objetivou elaborar um glossário de palavras e expressões presentes na fala do profissional do gado. O corpus que serviu de base foi o léxico utilizado pelas pessoas ligadas à lida do gado e do cavalo (vaqueiros e cavaleiros). Fundamenta-se na Sócio e Etnolinguística. Buscando-se contemplar os conteúdos, tornou-se necessário fazer um embasamento teórico das ciências do léxico, passando pela variação regional social e cultural. Trabalhando-se as lexias da fala do vaqueiro, através do ciclo do gado, pretendeu-se ver como essas unidades se constituíam e que fatores extralinguísticos, sociais e culturais, interferiam e determinavam esse léxico. Para fundamentação do corpus, fez-se um levantamento histórico do ciclo do gado, em uma comunidade de vaqueiros localizada na região de Garanhuns, Pernambuco, onde o Nordeste garoa . Dentre as festas, as que ganham destaque são a vaquejada e a pega de boi. Nessas brincadeiras , o ritmo da vida cotidiana é desfeita. A submissão é quebrada impondo-se a lógica da coragem, comemoração e da alegria. A metodologia usada foi à coleta de dados por meio de entrevistas feitas por meio de questionários, transcrição grafemática seguidas de descrição das formas lexicais coletadas através de consultas a dicionários de sinônimos e etimológicos. Os entrevistados exercem diretamente alguma atividade no âmbito da cultura do gado do agreste de Pernambuco. Os dados coletados foram organizados por campos semânticos como: a lida do vaqueiro com o gado; festas do boi: divertimento do vaqueiro; pega de boi; vaquejada; cavalgada; aboios e toadas. Foi realizado trabalho de campo durante a ocorrência da festa em algumas comunidades rural, junto aos vaqueiros cavaleiros e apaixonada por festas de gado cujo objetivo foi o levantamento do corpus que seria usado no glossário. O universo da pesquisa contou com 270 lexias. A escolha do tema justifica-se em razão de existir uma escassez de pesquisas sobre o vocabulário relativo às lexias do vaqueiro. Além disso, entendendo a pesquisa como uma empreitada que se arraiga à vida pessoal, o presente trabalho propõe uma abordagem cultural presente na vida da pesquisadora que nasceu, cresceu e vive inserida neste universo. Outro ponto é que é de fundamental importância para preservação desse rico acervo da cultura regional popular.

A expressiva abrangência e o tamanho do alcance social da previdência social pública brasileira até podem justificar eventuais manifestações de preocupação quanto ao seu custeio. No entanto, de algum tempo para cá, chega a chamar a atenção a frequência de pronunciamentos a respeito do “déficit” ou “rombo”, atuais ou potenciais, do Regime Geral de Previdência Social, sendo igualmente comum que tais falas associem o quadro à Constituição de 1988 e busquem identificar os “culpados” pela situação, em razão de sua “posição privilegiada”. Considerando, entretanto, o aspecto de a postura acadêmica orientar para que qualquer tese deva ser submetida a exame crítico, a pretensão do presente estudo foi de promover a análise da consistência de tal sorte de discursos. Ainda que diversos autores pudessem ser apontados como integrantes de tal corrente, assim como várias pudessem ser as teses merecedoras de atenção, as naturais limitações de escopo a fim de que se pudesse realizar um trabalho de alguma profundidade conduziram a que se restringisse o estudo a apenas um autor e, no que tange a esse, a apenas uma de suas teses. A escolha findou por recair sobre Fabio Giambiagi e, em relação a ele, quanto a seu lugar comum acerca da progressiva “difícil situação” do RGPS e de sua tese de que um dos principais “culpados” pelo quadro, se não o principal, seria a aposentadoria por tempo de serviço, ou, até mesmo, por tempo de contribuição, que defende ser insustentável.
