Arte pública e paisagem urbana de Florianópolis, SC, Brasil
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-graduação em Urbanismo, História e Arquitetura da CidadeEste volume de escritos faz parte de um processo de pesquisa que começou a tomar forma em fins de 2005 e que, dentre conexões possíveis, escolheu por percorrer algumas, referentes ao campo da Arte Pública, intensificando-se em seu recorte na cidade de Florianópolis, SC. A Arte Pública é aqui considerada não como um tipo - mas como um campo expandido das artes, configurando níveis de atuação. Permeando os espaços estriados e lisos da cidade, a Arte Pública apresenta a possibilidade de trabalhar no espaço do entre, atuando na paisagem cultural - do habitus e do caráter - da cidade. E, se uma obra de Arte Pública em si não consegue criar um lugar, ao menos pode oferecer a possibilidade de dotá-lo de caráter e significado, podendo ser trabalhada em diferentes níveis de atuação. Um destes níveis é sua gestão, por parte do poder público. No sentido do escrito acima, a escolha da cidade de Florianópolis torna-se justificada para um olhar mais atento às suas peculiaridades. Cidade de vistas panorâmicas espetaculares, apresenta uma rápida descaracterização de referenciais paisagísticos, que a está esvaziando de significados. Sua apropriação, de maneira devastadora, pelo forte mercado imobiliário, está ajudando a destruir sua geografia e paisagem natural. A gestão municipal de obras de arte em Florianópolis, capitaneada pela recente Comissão Municipal de Arte Pública, ainda se resume a uma única lei, que trata da inserção de obras de arte em edificações. Porém, um embrião de gestão e política urbana pode ser evidenciado. Esta dissertação discorre sobre a multiplicidade de ações concernentes ao campo da Arte Pública na cidade de Florianópolis, SC, com ênfase na questão da gestão municipal

Ambiguity of context-free languages as a function of the word length
No full textEnglische Fassung der Diplomarbeit "Grad der Mehrdeutigkeit kontextfreier Grammatiken und Sprachen".
In dieser Arbeit definieren wir ein Maß für den Grad der Mehrdeutigkeit (degree of ambiguity da) kontextfreier Grammatiken und Sprachen als die Anzahl der Ableitungsbäume in Abhängigkeit von der Länge n eines Wortes. Wir zeigen, dass es weder Sprachen noch zyklenfreie Grammatiken gibt, deren Mehrdeutigkeitsgrad stärker als 2£(n) wächst (wie z B. £(nn)). Aus [10] ist es außerdem bekannt, dass es keine Grammatiken (und somit keine Sprachen) gibt, deren Mehrdeutigkeit stärker als polynomiell, aber schwächer als exponentiell wächst (wie z. B. £(2pn). Deshalb untersuchen wir in dieser Arbeit hauptsächlich konstant mehrdeutige, polynomiell mehrdeutige und exponentiell mehrdeutige Grammatiken und Sprachen. Für jede feste, ganze Zahl k 2 N hat Maurer [8] die Existenz einer k-deutigen kontextfreien Sprache nachgewiesen. Durch Verwendung einer einfacheren Sprache, nämlich der Sprache Lk := fambm1 1 bm2 2 : : : bmk k jm;m1;m2; : : : ;mk ¸ 1; 9 i mit m = mig, und mit Hilfe von Ogden's Lemma1 erhalten wir einen wesentlich kürzeren Beweis. Ferner zeigen wir die Existenz exponentiell mehrdeutiger Sprachen. Wir zeigen, dass die Sprache L¤ { wobei L = faibicj ji; j ¸ 1g [ faibjciji; j ¸ 1g-exponentiell mehrdeutig ist, indem wir beweisen, dass das Wort (ah+h!bh+h!ch+h!)k mindestens 2k Ableitungen in jeder Grammatik G für L¤ hat, wobei k aus N ist und h die Konstante aus Ogden's Lemma für G ist. Für beliebig kleines c aus R+ entwerfen wir eine Grammatik Gc für L¤, so dass daGc · 2cn gilt. Somit gilt, dass die Sprache L¤ zwar exponentiell mehrdeutig ist, aber es gibt kein festes c aus R+ , so dass L¤ 2cn-deutig ist. Wir geben polynomiell mehrdeutige Grammatiken an und zeigen die Existenz von polynomiell mehrdeutigen Sprachen, indem wir mit Hilfe von Ogden's Lemma beweisen, dass die Anzahl der Ableitungsbäume eines Wortes der Länge n in jeder Grammatik für die Sprache Lk in der Größenordnung von (nk) liegt, wobei k eine Konstante aus N ist, und L := fambm1cbm2c : : : bmpcjp 2 N; m;m1;m2; : : : ;mp 2 N; 9i 2 f1; 2; : : : ; pg mit m = mig gilt. Durch Angabe einer O(nk){deutigen Grammatik zeigen wir schließlich, dass Lk polynomiell vom Grad k mehrdeutig ist. Außerdem entwerfen wir für jedes feste d aus R+ eine Grammatik Gd für L, so dass daGd · dn dn für genügend großes n ist.In this paper we discus the concept of ambiguity of context{free languages and grammars. We prove the existence of constant ambigu- ous, exponential ambiguous and polynomial ambiguous languages and we give examples for these classes of ambiguity

Numerical analysis of a 3-D printed porous trailing edge for broadband noise reduction
No full textLattice Boltzmann simulations were carried out to investigate the noise mitigation mechanisms of a 3-D printed porous trailing-edge insert, elucidating the link between noise reduction and material permeability. The porous insert is based on a unit cell resembling a lattice of diamond atoms. It replaces the last 20 % chord of a NACA 0018 at zero angle-of-attack. A partially blocked insert is considered by adding a solid partition between 84 % and 96 % of the aerofoil chord. The regular porous insert achieves a substantial noise reduction at low frequencies, although a slight noise increase is found at high frequencies. The partially blocked porous insert exhibits a lower noise reduction level, but the noise emission at mid-to-high frequency is slightly affected. The segment of the porous insert near the tip plays a dominant role in promoting noise mitigation, whereas the solid-porous junction contributes, in addition to the rough surface, towards the high-frequency excess noise. The current study demonstrates the existence of an entrance length associated with the porous material geometry, which is linked to the pressure release process that is responsible for promoting noise mitigation. This process is characterised by the aerodynamic interaction between pressure fluctuations across the porous medium, which is found at locations where the porous insert thickness is less than twice the entrance length. Present results also suggest that the noise attenuation level is related to both the chordwise extent of the porous insert and the streamwise turbulent length scale. The porous inserts also cause a slight drag increase compared to their solid counterpart. Wind Energ
A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
Direct P-Wave Seismic Noise Interferometry for Groundwater Monitoring: A Modelling Study
No full textIn this study, we monitor the depth variation of an unconfined aquifer by applying seismic noise interferometry to synthetic data modelled with a 2D finite-difference software. We consider two models with the same subsurface geological structure, but with different water table levels representing two monitoring periods. The receivers are placed at the topographic surface and collect the seismic signals generated by a source located at the bottom of the aquifer to simulate a pumping system. First, cross-correlation of seismic traces with a reference one is used to produce interferograms (i.e., virtual surveys) for both the tested models. Then, direct P-wave arrivals identified in the two interferograms are compared through the stretching technique in order to estimate the relative velocity changes (dv/v). Finally, the estimated dv/v values are related to theoretical ones obtained using a reference subsurface model to produce the water level depth in the considered monitoring period.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Applied Geophysics and Petrophysic
MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
