Construcción de condiciones de frontera artificiales locales para la solución numérica del problema de transporte de masa en un medio complejo en tiempo real
No full textEl objetivo de esta investigación es el desarrollo de un método numérico que permite ahorrar los recursos de la máquina al solucionar el problema de transporte de masa en medios complejos infinitos. El enfoque presentado en el trabajo se basa en la construcción de condiciones de frontera artificiales (CFAs) locales en el marco de la técnica de escisión (o bien, separación; inglés: splitting) por procesos físicos.
Para construir las CFAs se supone que la región de interés contiene varias heterogeneidades y fuentes, mientras que en el dominio exterior la ecuación admite la solución analítica. El uso de las técnicas de descomposición de dominio y escisión por coordenadas conduce a las CFAs de una alta precisión, que se utilizan para solucionar el problema de advección-difusión-reacción en un dominio convexo con una frontera artificial suave a trozos.
Se prueba que los problemas de frontera correspondientes están bien planteados, se demuestra que se tiene la convergencia de la solución numérica a la exacta, se presentan estimaciones de errores de las soluciones. Los resultados numéricos confirman el estudio teórico
Il futuro della Federazione Russa, visto dal 1996. Tavola rotonda. Alle domande di FUTURIBILI rispondono Mikhail S. Gorbaciov, Sergej A. Filatov, Georgij A. Satarov, Vladimir V. Zirinovskij
No full textDopo il collasso dell’Unione Sovietica e la fine del bipolarismo Usa-Urss è iniziato un processo di ridefinizione dei tradizionali equilibri geo-politici che hanno caratterizzato la seconda metà del Novecento. Le profonde trasformazioni politiche cui abbiamo fatto cenno coinvolgono in modo diretto non solo gli Stati Uniti ed i paesi della Comunità degli stati indipendenti, ma anche i paesi dell’Europa occidentale e centro-orientale, nonché lealtre potenze del nord-America, il Giappone ed i paesi confinanti con la Federazione Russa. Nello spazio geo-politico della ex-Unione Sovietica vi sono, inoltre, particolari elementi di instabilità che potrebbero generare seri rischi di frammentazione su base nazionale e regionale. L’ordine internazionale che risulterà in futuro dalla fine del bipolarismo, i problemi interni della Federazione Russa e le relazioni di questa ultima con gli ex-avversari e gli ex-alleati di un tempo sono alcuni dei temi discussi nella Tavola Rotonda che ha coinvolto Mikhail S.Gorbaciov, ultimo presidente dell’Unione Sovietica, Sergej A Filatov, già capo dell’Amministrazione presidenziale della Federazione Russa, Georgij A. Satarov, consigliere politico del presidente Eltsin, Vladimir V. Zirinovskij, leader del Partito liberal-democratico.After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of U.S.-Soviet bipolarism there began the redefinition of the traditional geo-political balances that have marked the second half of last century. These profound political changes directly involve not only the United States and the Commonwealth of Independent States, but also western and central-eastern Europe and the other powers in north America, Japan and the countries bordering on the Russian Federation. In the geo-political area of the former Soviet Union there are also particular factors of instability that could in the future produce serious risks of fragmentation on a national and regional basis. The international order that will follow the end of bipolarism, the domestic problems of the Russian Federation and its relations with its former adversaries and allies are among the themes discussed in this Round Table. It was attended by Mikhail S. Gorbachev, former President of the Soviet Union, Sergeij A. Filatov, Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, Georgy A. Satarov, Foreign Relations Advisor to President Yeltsin, and Vladimir V. Zhirinovsky, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party
Hyperauthorship in Mikhail Bakhtin: The Primary Author and Conceptual Personae
No full textThis article explores the phemenon of hyperauthorship in intellectual writing: a primary author (hyperauthor) creates a number of secondary authors (hypoauthors), and develops possible conceptual systems on their behalf. The case under consideration is Mikhail Bakhtin and his complex relationship with his friends Pavel Medvedev and Valentin Voloshinov, members of the so called "Bakhtin's circle" (in the 1920s) who are credited with authorship of several books which may have been actually written by Bakhtin himself. Still unclear from biographical and historical perspectives, this problem of authentic attribution of Medvedev's and Voloshinov's texts can be clarified in the theoretical framework of "hyperauthorship" and "possibilistic thinking." This article applies Bakhtin's own theory of the "primary author immersed in silence," as well as Deleuze and Guattari's notion of "conceptual personae," to explain this case of "shared," or "transferred" authorship. The figures of Voloshinov and Medvedev, though historically real, may be viewed as Bakhtin's projections of "ideal," or "utopian" Marxism in linguistics and literary theory
What are the implications of Curriculum Learning strategy on IRL methods?: Investigating Inverse Reinforcement Learning from Human Behavior
No full textInverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) is a subfield of Reinforcement Learning (RL) that focuses on recovering the reward function using expert demonstrations. In the field of IRL, Adversarial IRL (AIRL) is a promising algorithm that is postulated to recover non-linear rewards in environments with unknown dynamics. This study investigates the potential benefits of applying the Curriculum Learning (CL) strategy to the AIRL algorithm. For our experiments, we use a randomized partially observable Markov decision process in the form of a grid-world-like environment. Using only expert demonstrations obtained with an RL algorithm under the true reward function, we train AIRL in a variety of configurations and identify an effective curriculum. Our results show, that a well-constructed curriculum can enhance the performance of AIRL twofold in both key aspects: the speed of convergence and the efficiency of using expert demonstrations. We thus conclude that CL can be a useful addition to an AIRL-based solution.

Muriel Spark as auto-biographer in <i>Curriculum</i> <i>Vitae</i>
No full textExamining Muriel Spark's main aims as an auto-biographer in her work Curriculum Vitae brings important resources in the exploration of the genre of autobiographical writing. This with the theoretical engagement, allows consideration of the critical issues surrounding the roles of author and reader in the construction of the literary self. Spark demands the reader participate in the constructon of textual meaning; overturning the conventions of autobiography, satirising its claims to omniscience and highlighting the impossibility of an authentic voice with regard to the self
To Act and Learn: A Bakhtinian Exploration of Action Learning
No full textThis paper considers the work of the Russian social philosopher and cultural theorist, Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin as a source of understanding for those involved in action learning. Drawing upon data gathered over two years during the evaluation of 20 action learning sets in the north of England, we will seek to work with the ideas of Bakhtin to consider their value for those involved in action learning. We consider key Bakhtin features such as Making Meaning, Participative Thinking, Theoreticism and Presence, Others and Outsideness, Voices and Carnival to highlight how Bakhtin's can enhance our understanding of the nature of action and learning

Mikhail Gorbachev's "new thinking": implications for western security
No full textThis thesis examines some of the most important policies encompassed within
Mikhail Gorbachev's "new thinking." The author explores the economic incentives and
shifting Soviet view of international relations which led Gorbachev to introduce his
groundbreaking reforms. Primary emphasis is given to an in-depth analysis of the
"defensive doctrine" and how the issues surrounding that doctrine will impact upon the
future U.S.-Soviet security relationship. Special topics include: increasing evidence of
changes under way in the structure of Soviet forces stationed in Eastern Europe; possible
future Soviet force deployments inside the USSR, including the construction of "fortified
regions," and the evolving U.S.-Soviet relationship in the most important theater of
relations between the two countries—Europe. It is the author's contention that the central
driving force behind all of Gorbachev's reforms was, and remains, a resuscitation of the
Soviet economy. The author concludes that ultimate Soviet objectives under "new
thinking" will remain uncertain, and that the only prudent U.S. policy is to bargain in a vigorous but businesslike manner with Gorbachev to further reduce the Soviet threat, while
retaining defenses sufficient to react to possible future Kremlin backtracking.Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.Captain, United States Air Forcehttp://archive.org/details/mikhailgorbachev109452835
