Bode Analysis of Uncertain Multivariable Systems
No full textBode plots are crucial for frequency domain analysis of SISO systems. The aim of this paper is to develop a complete approach for Bode plots of multivariable uncertain systems for both the magnitude and phase. The magnitude is based on the singular values. The phase is based on the phase spread of the numerical range. An IQC-based approach is pursued to provide both the magnitude and phase. A simulation example shows that the presented approach allows the generation of multivariable Bode plots of multivariable uncertain systems
Fast Identification of Bound Structures in Large N-body Simulations
No full textWe present an algorithm that is designed to allow the efficient identification and preliminary dynamical analysis of thousands of structures and substructures in large N-body simulations. First, we utilize a refined density gradient system (based on denmax) to identify the structures and then apply an iterative approximate method to identify unbound particles, allowing fast calculation of bound substructures. After producing a catalogue of separate energetically bound substructures, we check to see which of these are energetically bound to adjacent substructures. For such bound complex subhaloes, we combine components and check if additional free particles are also bound to the union, repeating the process iteratively until no further changes are found. Thus, our subhaloes can contain more than one density maximum, but the scheme is stable: starting with a small smoothing length initially produces small structures that must be combined later and starting with a large smoothing length produces large structures within which sub-substructure is found. We apply this algorithm to three simulations. Two that are using the TPM algorithm by Bode, Ostriker & Xu and one on a simulated halo by Diemand, Moore & Stadel. For all these haloes, we find about 5–8 per cent of the mass in substructures
BODE index versus GOLD classification for explaining anxious and depressive symptoms in patients with COPD – a cross-sectional study
No full textAbstract Background Anxiety and depression are common and treatable risk factors for re-hospitalisation and death in patients with COPD. The degree of lung function impairment does not sufficiently explain anxiety and depression. The BODE index allows a functional classification of COPD beyond FEV1. The aim of this cross-sectional study was (1) to test whether the BODE index is superior to the GOLD classification for explaining anxious and depressive symptoms; and (2) to assess which components of the BODE index are associated with these psychological aspects of COPD. Methods COPD was classified according to the GOLD stages based on FEV1%predicted in 122 stable patients with COPD. An additional four stage classification was constructed based on the quartiles of the BODE index. The hospital anxiety and depression scale was used to assess anxious and depressive symptoms. Results The overall prevalence of anxious and depressive symptoms was 49% and 52%, respectively. The prevalence of anxious symptoms increased with increasing BODE stages but not with increasing GOLD stages. The prevalence of depressive symptoms increased with both increasing GOLD and BODE stages. The BODE index was superior to FEV1%predicted for explaining anxious and depressive symptoms. Anxious symptoms were explained by dyspnoea. Depressive symptoms were explained by both dyspnoea and reduced exercise capacity. Conclusion The BODE index is superior to the GOLD classification for explaining anxious and depressive symptoms in COPD patients. These psychological consequences of the disease may play a role in future classification systems of COPD.</p

Metatools for information engineering design
No full textAn examination of the professional practice of engineers in many disciplines reveals a history of engineers developing highly sophisticated tools to eliminate the need to ‘do mathematics’ in the conventional sense. This chapter will build upon the previous one by Dillon to consider further aspects of the history of a number of what I shall call mathematical ‘meta-tools’ in the fields of electronics, telecommunications and control engineering. In common with Dillon I argue that, for most engineers, ‘doing mathematics’ has become something categorically different from the mathematics of physical scientists or mathematicians. The chapter concentrates on the origins and changing fortunes of a number of classic information engineering meta-tools that appeared in the period just before or after the Second World War: Bode plots (late 1930s); the Smith Chart (1939); the Nichols Chart (1947); phasor, spectral and signal constellation models (throughout the period); and the root-locus technique (1948). The 1950s and 1960s saw an increasing mathematicization of engineering education, linked to the rise of the notion of ‘engineering science’ that was driven to a large extent by the legacy of WW2 research and development and the post-war funding environment in the USA and elsewhere. Such changes, and the arrival of digital computers, meant that the utility of the earlier diagrammatic tools was often played down or questioned. In recent years, however, such tools have been incorporated into powerful engineering software, where their function now is not to avoid computation, but to mediate between the user and the machine carrying out the computation

A heterogeneidade enunciativa em memes do “Bode Gaiato”
No full textThis work aims to analyze forms of heterogeneity shown in Bode Gaiato memes. We are mainly based on studies by Jacqueline Authier-Revuz (1982, 1990), in which the author, based on conceptions of decentralization of the subject of Freudian-Lacan psychoanalysis and Bakhtin’s notion of dialogism, discusses the effects of presence of several voices in the discourse of a speaker, showing how every discourse is crossed by multiple voices, so that one can not believe in the existence of a homogeneous discourse. For this, after reviewing theoretical studies of Authier-Revuz (1982, 1990), Bakhtin (2002), Benveniste (1989), Dunker (2010) and Flores; Teixeira (2005), we have collected 17 texts published in the profile of Bode Gaiato in one of the most accessed social networks over the internet, Facebook. These texts were then analyzed in the light of the aforementioned theorists. It was then verified that there is a very significant interlacing of social voices for the construction of the saying in the analyzed memes, so that to recognize them, referring them to the discourses they evoke, is relevant to the understanding of these texts. It is thus proved that every discourse is intrinsically heterogeneous and that the subject does not constitute himself alone.Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar formas de heterogeneidade mostrada em memes do Bode Gaiato. Fundamentamo-nos, sobretudo, nos estudos de Jacqueline Authier-Revuz (1982, 1990), nos quais a autora, apoiando-se em concepções de descentramento do sujeito da psicanálise freudo-lacaniana e na noção de dialogismo de Bakhtin, discute os efeitos da presença de diversas vozes no discurso de um locutor, mostrando como todo discurso é atravessado por múltiplas vozes, de modo que não se pode acreditar na existência de discurso homogêneo. Para tanto, após a revisão de estudos teóricos de Authier-Revuz (1982, 1990), Bakhtin (2002), Benveniste (1989), Dunker (2010) e Flores; Teixeira (2005), coletamos 17 textos publicados no perfil do Bode Gaiato, numa das mais acessadas redes sociais, o Facebook. Esses textos foram, então, analisados à luz dos teóricos supracitados. Foi constatado que há, nos memes analisados, um entrecruzamento de vozes sociais bastante significativo para a construção do dizer, de modo que reconhecer essas vozes, remetendo-as aos discursos que evocam, é relevante para a compreensão desses textos. Comprova-se, assim, que todo discurso é intrinsecamente heterogêneo e que o sujeito não se constitui sozinho

No full textAuthor: Isabell Sandahl Title: The man, the myth, the legend – he who everyone has heard, but no one knows about Under title: A discourse analysis of Johnny Bode´s memory Pages: 30 Key Words: Johnny Bode, Discourse analysis, Johnny Bode Appreciation Society Johnny Bode (1912 – 1983) was a Swedish singer and composer who lived a very scandalous life, where norm breaking, and crime played a big part. Bodes biggest scandal took place during the second world war, when he traveled to Norway, during the occupation, and worked for the Nazi regime. Since Bode was a public person and a man who constantly drew a lot of attention to him, the media often wrote about him during his career. However, after his stay in Norway, Bode became pariah in Sweden and the writing about him ceased. About 30 years later, Bode died almost totally forgotten. There are several biographies about Johnny Bode´s life and there is one research report that goes through his life. Something that does not exist however is an overview about what was being said about him during different periods of time. The purpose with this essay is to go through what was has been said about Bode between 1983 – 1987, and between 2009 – 2023, while then compare these periods. This will be done by discourse theory and discourse analysis. Since discourse theory is a very wide theory, a discussion about how discourse should be defined in this essay, will also take place. The material that is used in this essay are mainly articles from various newspapers in Sweden, as well as the Johnny Bode Appreciation Society and the book Swedish swindlers and cheaters (Svenska svindlare och fuskare) written by Fredrik Kullberg. The results shows that the parts of Bode´s life that where presented between 1983 – 1987 were the fact that he was a forgotten celebrity, his stay in Norway and his LP disc The brothel mother´s songs (Bordellmammas visor), while the parts of Bode´s life that where presented between 2009 – 2023 was mainly his scandalous life story and his title as the Father of the Genitalia rock
