Full textIn this thesis, I use the cities of Yamoussoukro, Cote d'Ivoire; Phnom Penh, Cambodia; and Montreal, Canada as case studies to analyze the connection between architecture, nationalism, and the influence of colonialism. Each of these cities was directly influenced by French urban development as these cities were reshaped in order to change the people, history, or culture of specific geographies. As these countries gained independence from France they used architecture as a way to express national identity to local populations in order to collectivize them, as well as a way to express this "unified" identity to the international community. This is rooted in the urban policies of the European colonizers which focused on teaching indigenous populations European morality, aesthetics, and rational use of space, but also in the creation of maps, drawings, and other material to express the colonial identity of these territories.

Street musicians and performers attract people to public spaces. These performers, or ‘buskers’ as they are commonly referred, typically congregate along specific streets, parks, plazas, and transit stops in a city. The term pitch describes the place buskers perform. Pedestrian flow, visibility, and acoustics are just some of the factors that street performers consider when selecting a pitch. While performers resourcefully adapt to the challenges of different pitches, public spaces often do little to accommodate performers and their audiences. William Whyte observed how street performances facilitate social interactions between strangers and give character to cities and neighborhoods. Relative Pitch explores where performances occur and how they benefit public places. Case studies of popular busking locations establish a typology of squares, streets, and transit stops. Video clip analysis of street performances demonstrates the spatial relations between performer and audience. Dimensions and observations from these case studies provided insight and information for the application of the typology to proposed sites in Wichita, Kansas. Buskers adapt pitches relative to their physical environment. Point, linear, planar, and volumetric elements define and articulate temporary stages, audience space, and circulation paths during performances. Design proposals for the typology sites in Wichita illustrate how flexible performance spaces can be incorporated in squares, streets, and transit stops. This project looks at ways to activate public spaces by encouraging street performance.

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to study the Kazhdan's property (T) relative to the space (also called rigidity in the sense of Popa) of probability measure preserving actions of countable groups on standard probability measure spaces (p.m.p.).This last decade, some problems in the theory of ergodic theory and von Neumann algebras were solved using the property (T) relative to the space. However, the theoretical aspects of its study remain largely mysterious. An open question asks which groups admit a p.m.p. free and ergodic action which has the property (T) relative to the space. We show in this dissertation that every finitely-generated non-amenable linear groups over a field of characteristic zero admits a p.m.p. ergodic action which has this property. If this group has trivial solvable radical, we prove that these actions can be chosen to be free.In order to obtain these results, we start by investigating natural questions concerning the stability of the property (T) relative to the space through standard constructions : products, restriction, co-induction, induction. Then, we give a criterion for the property (T) relative to the space to hold in the case of p.m.p. actions on homogeneous space G/ Λ of a p-adic Lie group for a countable subgroup Γ of affine transformations of G stabilizing the lattice Λ. The action of Γ on G/Λ has the property (T) relative to the space if and only if the induced action of Γ on the projective space of the Lie algebra of G admits no invariant probability measure.Moreover, we study the case of actions by automorphims on nilvarietes defined by finite graphs

O erro devido à ionosfera nas observáveis GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) é diretamente proporcional à densidade de elétrons presente na ionosfera e inversamente proporcional a frequência do sinal. Da mesma forma que no posicionamento por ponto, os resultados obtidos no posicionamento relativo são afetados pelo efeito sistemático da ionosfera, que é uma das maiores fontes de erro no posicionamento com GNSS. Mesmo considerando que parte dos erros devido à ionosfera é cancelada na dupla diferenciação, a ionosfera pode causar fortes impactos no posicionamento relativo. O problema principal neste método de posicionamento é a variação espacial na densidade de elétrons, que pode ocorrer em função de vários fatores, tais como hora local, variação sazonal, localização do usuário, ciclo solar e atividade geomagnética. Dependendo das condições do clima espacial, que é controlado pelo Sol, a atividade geomagnética pode ser alterada de forma significativa, dando origem a uma tempestade geomagnética. Nesta pesquisa foram avaliados os efeitos da ionosfera no posicionamento relativo, com observações GNSS da fase da onda portadora (L1), nas regiões ionosféricas de latitude média e alta e na região equatorial. Nas duas primeiras regiões foram analisados os efeitos da ionosfera em períodos de irregularidades, decorrentes de tempestades geomagnéticas. Na região equatorial, que engloba o Brasil, foram analisados os efeitos da ionosfera em função da variação diária e sazonal. No processamento dos dados GNSS foi utilizado o GPSeq, que processa os dados na forma recursiva e fornece os Resíduos Preditos da Dupla Diferença da Fase (RPDDF)...
The error caused by ionosphere on GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is directly proportional to the density of electrons from ionosphere and inversely proportional to the frequency squared of the signal GNSS. As in the case of point positioning, results in relative positioning are affected by systematic effect from ionosphere, which is one of major error sources in the GNSS positioning. Although some errors caused by ionosphere are canceled in double difference, strong impacts may be caused by ionosphere on the relative positioning. In this positioning the main problem is the spatial variation in electron density that can occur due local time, seasonal variation, user location, solar cycle, geomagnetic activity, etc. Depending on the conditions of space weather, in which is controlled by the Sun, the geomagnetic activity can be changed inducing geomagnetic storms. In this research the effects from ionosphere has been evaluated in GNSS relative positioning using L1 carrier phase observations, at the three regions of the ionosphere: middle and high latitudes and equatorial region. In regions of middle and high latitudes have been analyzed the effects from ionosphere in irregularities periods, caused by geomagnetic storms. In the equatorial region, including Brazil, have been analyzed the effects from ionosphere according daily and seasonal variation. In the processing GNSS data has been used GPSeq software.

Full textThis dissertation aims at analyzing relatively the spaces in two literary works Luuanda, by Luandino Vieira whose native language is Portuguese and Texaco by Patrick Chamoiseau whose native language is French. It is assumed that the narrative protagonists are the spaces, as it can be initially observed in the titles. These spaces are the Luanda musseques and the Martinican slums, which is considered a district called Texaco. They comprise the time, narrators, characters and plot. What is more they comprise a literary language that subvert the dominant languages, which are Portuguese and French incorporating the dominated ones, which are the Angolan Kimbunder and the Martinican Creole. Therefore it is possible to understand from the analysed spaces in these narratives that the official history is contested and rewritten by the authors, highlighting the people who has never ceased struggling against the invasions, domination, assimilation and who have been bravely surviving. Thus it was verified that the way people survived in the narratives occurred not only through the occupation and subversion of the spaces, but also the subversive narrative.

Full textPurpose: Today are about 300 000 buildings with outdoor ventilated crawl space at risk to be contaminated by moisture and mold damage. An outdoor ventilated crawl space’s climate is greatly affected by the temperature and the relative humidity. There is no doubt that the climate is facing changes, which means an increased temperature and a change in the relative humidity. This prevents the outdoor ventilated crawl space from drying out during certain periods of the year and is then exposed to a heightened risk of moisture damage. Parallel to the climate change the heating systems are being modernized in houses, which changes the conditions for the crawl spaces. The objective of this essay is to do a research if climate change and the installation of underfloor heating in the greater part of the joist area has given rise to moisture damage in outdoor ventilated crawl spaces and provide good basis for more effective measures to moisture damage. Method: To investigate whether the climate change is a problem for outdoor ventilated crawl spaces have document analyzes been conducted, which was followed by calculations of the crawl spaces’ relative humidity. Calculations have been made to find out if the underfloor heating is a contributing problem to moisture damage. Both issues are also corroborated by interviews with qualified people. How the moisture damage more effective could be fixed was answered primarily through qualitative interviews, but corroborated by document analysis. Findings: The study shows that climate change will affect outdoor ventilated crawl spaces in a positive sense, only account to the temperature rise. Installing underfloor heating has also been shown to be positive against moisture damage in outdoor ventilated crawl spaces if insulation in the soffit is missing or deficient. The industry sees no gain in efficiency action methods as these are already proven and well- functioning. Implications: A warmer climate provides better conditions for outdoor ventilated crawl space. Being aware of the changes associated with climate change, and its effects on buildings give the construction industry a head start to prepare for future changes. Knowledge that underfloor heating can provide positive effects against moisture damage in crawl spaces creates new opportunities for renovations and actions against dampness but the energy losses in this case must be considered. Since the industry does not see profit in streamlining action methods is no need to go deeper into this. Limitations: The report deals only outdoor ventilated crawl spaces with wooden soffit that is located within the Swedish borders. This study is therefore not applicable to other constructions or other countries. Only climate change in the last century and up until 2100 are taken into account in the report. Further on the study does not take the excess moisture from the soil or the storm water into account; likewise there are no calculations for the ventilation.

Full textThe thesis proposes both morphosyntaxical and textual analyses of the so-called « narrative » relative clauses from the point of view of the standard version of prototype theory. One may consider as narrative any relative clause postponed to the predicate of the embedding clause (VA), which aims at narrating a figure event (VR) presented as caused by VA trough the participation, direct or indirect, of the ANT+REL entity. The interpretation of all narrative relatives depends upon a certain number of parameters, each organised in a form of value continuum. The prototype of a narrative relative clause is the sum of parameter values opposite to the prototype of a relative clause in general. The narrative relatives refer to parameters pertaining to verbal values such as “perfective”, specifying” or “transitive”. Typically appearing in narrative contexts, the narrative relative clauses grant some particular meanings to the narrated events. Whereas coordination tends to be a mere statement of events and states, and while temporal clauses insist on a temporal succession of events, the narrative relative clauses picture both temporal succession of events and their progression in space. Temporal progression is the result of insisting on the perfective verb aspect and on the postposition of the relative predicate. Spatial progression depends upon the anaphoric relation between the antecedent and the relative pronoun. This causes a strong causal relation between VA and VR. Such structure of the narrative relative sequence equals to the linear thematic progression, where a comment becomes the topic of the next clause

Full textCrawl spaces in some form have been used as foundations in Sweden for a long time.In the past, it was uninsulated crawl spaces that eventually evolved into insulatedcrawl spaces and open plinth foundations. An increased relative humidity during thesummer is a common problem for crawl spaces that are ventilated with outdoor air. The purpose of the case study is to study an outdoor ventilated structure with wellinsulated floor and ground insulation. The construction is below ground level andthe ventilation takes place via a thin air gap below ground level. The temperatureand relative humidity in the air gap are of interest to determine if there is a risk ofmould growth in the design. A simulation of the heat flow between the building and the ground is carried out inCOMSOL Multiphysics 5.5 to determine the temperature distribution in the design.The temperature distribution is the basis for the determination of relative vaporcontent in the air gap of the structure.The simulation uses climate data for a typicalyear in Gävle. The simulation shows a high temperature in the air gap which gives a relative vaporcontent as a monthly average of 37–77% during a year. The high temperature in theair gap contributes to keeping the structure dry when critical relative humidity, 75–80%, is not exceeded for a longer period of time. The results are surprisingly positive with a low risk of mold growth in the construction.There are many assumptions, in particular, which airflow is found in the airgap. In order to validate the results in the work, measurements should be made onthe two prototype houses that exist.

Full textWe tried to develop and test several activities using a register based on diagrams for teaching the special theory of relativity to S class of twelfth graders. The graphic approach may result it complications in learning. However, its educational potential can turn out to be more beneficial. An epistemological study on diagrams used in special relativity allowed us to report important links between mathematics and the genesis of the special theory of relativity. This is the case of the Minkowski diagram. We were also interested in two other diagrams, Brehme and Loedel, which were developed much more later for teaching purposes. Following experimental sessions, we developed a new theoretical frame to comprehensively analyse the interactions developed by students to solve a problem using diagrams in special relativity. We modified the mathematical working spaces (MWS) by adding a new frame of rationality to the existing mathematic workspace to physics. The extended frame of the MWS allowed us to plan several versions of sequences proposed to the students and realize a priori analysis of their difficulty level and a posteriori study by analysing pupils' works. We have considered several works of student groups during a sequence using the Minkowski diagram with GeoGebra, a graphic simulation software. It allowed us to estimate the degree of control of the Minkowski diagram for every student, both from the frame of rationality of the mathematics and the physical sciences’ point of view. The results are promising and they tend to show a real appropriation of the concepts of the special theory of relativity with an approach using diagrams

Full textThis thesis generalizes optimal transport beyond the classical "balanced" setting of probability distributions. We define unbalanced optimal transport models between nonnegative measures, based either on the notion of interpolation or the notion of coupling of measures. We show relationships between these approaches. One of the outcomes of this framework is a generalization of the p-Wasserstein metrics. Secondly, we build numerical methods to solve interpolation and coupling-based models. We study, in particular, a new family of scaling algorithms that generalize Sinkhorn's algorithm. The third part deals with applications. It contains a theoretical and numerical study of a Hele-Shaw type gradient flow in the space of nonnegative measures. It also adresses the case of measures taking values in the cone of positive semi-definite matrices, for which we introduce a model that achieves a balance between geometrical accuracy and algorithmic efficiency

Full textThe concepts of independence and totalness of subspaces are introduced in the context of quasi-probability distributions in phase space, for quantum systems with finite-dimensional Hilbert space. It is shown that due to the non-distributivity of the lattice of subspaces, there are various levels of independence, from pairwise independence up to (full) independence. Pairwise totalness, totalness and other intermediate concepts are also introduced, which roughly express that the subspaces overlap strongly among themselves, and they cover the full Hilbert space. A duality between independence and totalness, that involves orthocomplementation (logical NOT operation), is discussed. Another approach to independence is also studied, using Rota’s formalism on independent partitions of the Hilbert space. This is used to define informational independence, which is proved to be equivalent to independence. As an application, the pentagram (used in discussions on contextuality) is analysed using these concepts.

Find full textRelative Sea-Level (RSL) change influences surface processes and stratigraphic architecture of deltaic systems and has been studied extensively for decades. However, we still lack a quantitative framework to define what constitutes a small vs. large or short vs. long RSL cycle. We explore these questions with a suite of physical experiments that shared identical forcing conditions with the exception of sea-level. We utilize two non-dimensional numbers that characterize the magnitude and period of RSL cycles. Magnitude is defined with respect to the maximum autogenic channel depth, while the periodicity is defined with respect to the time required to deposit one channel depth of sediment, on average, everywhere in the basin. The experiments include: 1) a control experiment lacking RSL cycles, used to define autogenic scales, 2) a low magnitude, long period (LMLP) stage, and 3) a high magnitude, short period (HMSP) stage. We observe clear differences in the response of deltas to the forcing in each experiment. The RSL cycles in the HMSP stage induce allogenic surface processes and stratigraphic products with scales that exceed the stochastic variability found in the control stage. These include the generation of rough shorelines and large temporal gaps in the stratigraphy. In contrast, the imprint of LMLP cycles on surface processes and stratigraphy is found in properties that define the mean state of a system. These include the mean shoreline location and extraction of sediment inbound of the mean shoreline. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of defining RSL cycle magnitude and period through autogenic scales and provides insights for generation of forward stratigraphic models influenced by RSL change.

From the perspective of geography, the rational spatial arrangement is an important issue. The distribution of environmental education facility is based on the nature resource. Therefore, exploring the spatial distribution of environmental education facilities and understanding the relative loading can improve the implementation of environmental education. In order to understand the preference and selective behavior in environment education, this study investigated the implementation of environmental education in elementary schools, junior, and senior high schools in the central Taiwan by questionnaire. Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to analyze the characteristics of space loading and service range of environmental education facilities. We create “quotient of space loading” to realize the space concentration of environmental education facilities chosen by the schools, and distinguish them into different levels. The results show that the field trip of environmental education is mainly located in central Taiwan because of the transportation distance. According to the service frequency, the environmental education facilities can be divided into single and multiple service types. Most of single types are related to community while the multiple ones are much concentrated on few environmental education facilities. The result of the “quotient for space loading” shows the loading level is slight in the most townships; and the heavy loading areas concentrate only on little townships.
