A Gestão de design e o direito de propriedade industrial brasileiro: uma abordagem para identificação e proteção de grupos produtivos atrelados à origem por meio de marca e indicação geográfica
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Design e Expressão Gráfica, Florianópolis, 2011Neste trabalho de dissertação, considera-se o potencial e diversificação natural de um país com dimensões continentais como o Brasil, e o número incipiente de grupos produtivos atrelados à origem com identificação projetada de forma adequada e protegidos por lei. Propõe-se uma abordagem sob premissas de Gestão de Design, alinhada ao Direito de Propriedade Industrial Brasileiro; analisam-se definições, conceitos e diretrizes por meio de uma compreensão linear e lógica dos direitos que podem ter uma assinatura visual como síntese representativa: marca e indicação geográfica. Sistematizam-se conceitos para demonstrar diferentes dimensões relacionadas aos direitos tratados e destaca-se o protagonismo de designers. Baseando-se em indicadores de consumo consciente realiza-se uma verificação da percepção de pessoas diversas em relação a produtos com a chancela de marca e indicação geográfica.In this dissertation it is considered the potential and natural diversification in Brazil, a country with continental dimensions and an incipient number of productive groups linked to their origins with brand elements adequately designed and protected by law. It is proposed an approach under the premises of Design Management, aligned to the Brazilian Industrial Property Right. It analyzes definitions, concepts and guidelines through a linear and logical understanding of the rights which may have a logo as representative synthesis: trademark and geographical indication. Concepts are systematized to demonstrate different dimensions related to the above mentioned rights and to highlight the role of designers. It is executed an assessment of the perception of the individuals in relation to products with trademark and geographical indication based on indicators of conscientious consumption

NTMpy: An open source package for solving coupled parabolic differential equations in the framework of the three-temperature model
No full textThe NTMpy code package allows for simulating the one-dimensional thermal response of multilayer samples after optical excitation, as in a typical pump-probe experiment. Several Python routines are combined and optimized to solve coupled heat diffusion equations in one dimension, on arbitrary piecewise homogeneous material stacks, in the framework of the so-called three-temperature model. The energy source deposited in the material is modelled as a light pulse of arbitrary cross-section and temporal profile. A transfer matrix method enables the calculation of realistic light absorption in presence of scattering interfaces as in multilayer samples. The open source code is fully object-oriented to enable a user-friendly and intuitive interface for adjusting the physically relevant input parameters. Here, we describe the mathematical background of the code, we lay out the workflow, and we validate the functionality of our package by comparing it to commercial software, as well as to experimental transient reflectivity data recorded in a pump-probe experiment with femtosecond light pulses.Program summaryProgram title: NTMpy v.0.1.1CPC Library link to program files: https: //doi.org/10.17632/5czr76gmwr.1Developer's repository link: https://github.com/udcm-su/NTMpyCode Ocean capsule: https://codeocean.com/capsule/5661399Licensing provisions: MIT licenseProgramming language: PythonExternal routines: Python 3.5 or higher, numpy, matplotlib, bsplines, tqdmNature of problem: 1-dimensional coupled non linear partial differential equations; diffusion and relaxation dynamics formultiple systems and multiple layers.Solution method: Simulate the diffusion and relaxation dynamics of up to 3 coupled systems via an object oriented user interface.

Age-Inscriptions and Social Change
No full textThis special issue introduces the concept of age-inscription. It accounts for the ways that transitions, expectations and markers around age and life-course stages are modified in interplay with social change. This new concept is necessary, we argue, because age-inscriptions correspond to more indeterminate and transitional levels of changes in aging trajectories and life stages than the concept of norms. Inscriptions lie between rules, laws, and norms on the one hand, and individual feelings, emotions, and actions on the other. They are at least slightly shared between individuals, and, thus, somewhat more standardized than individual behavior, but not as standardized and shared as norms. The introduction to this special issue lays out the reasons why age-inscriptions happen, as well as the primary ways by which they are formed and generated. We conclude by arguing that contemporary age-inscriptions are fashioned in relation to a longer life course encountered by a new generation, an increasing temporalization and institutionalization of the life course, and high levels of mobility and migration.Peer reviewe
Stress parallels in modern OT
No full textA phonological typology for stress consists of a set of stress patterns that displays contrasts along distributional features of stress. In this dissertation, I argue that OT typologies, modeling stress, are characterized by families of parallel properties that fully regulate these contrasts. Empirically, this analysis unveils significant, pervasive relationships across stress patterns that have not been identified previously. The 'property' (Alber and Prince 2016) is the fundamental unit of analysis of the OT typology: It classifies languages both grammatically, in terms of ranking conditions called 'values', and phonologically, because a property value realizes a phonological 'trait' that all forms of the language must comply with. Property families classify languages of independent OT typologies into the same classes. Across typologies, a single phonological contrast has multiple reflexes. The consequence is that languages of the same class share aspects of their grammar, correlated with the same kind of formal, extensional effects. This is the case, despite the fact that languages of the same class do not necessarily share any forms. To highlight the scope of this result, a single property family predicts that the following contrasts are equivalent: whether a language parses every syllable into a foot, whether a language is fully quantity-sensitive, requiring stress on every 'Heavy' syllable, whether a language is 'default-to-opposite' for the positioning main stress.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Hope Eliza McManu

No full textSuperelongation complexes (SECs) are essential for transcription elongation of many human genes, including the integrated HIV-1 genome. At the HIV-1 promoter, the viral Tat protein binds simultaneously to the nascent TAR RNA and the CycT1 subunit of the P-TEFb kinase in a SEC. To understand the preferential recruitment of SECs by Tat and TAR, we determined the crystal structure of a quaternary complex containing Tat, P-TEFb, and the SEC scaffold, AFF4. Tat and AFF4 fold on the surface of CycT1 and interact directly. Interface mutations in the AFF4 homolog AFF1 reduced Tat-AFF1 affinity in vivo and Tat-dependent transcription from the HIV promoter. AFF4 binding in the presence of Tat partially orders the CycT1 Tat-TAR recognition motif and increases the affinity of Tat-P-TEFb for TAR 30-fold. These studies indicate that AFF4 acts as a two-step filter to increase the selectivity of Tat and TAR for SECs over P-TEFb alone.published_or_final_versio
The Inadequacy of a Faithfulness-Based Approach to Spanish Secondary Stress
No full textThe secondary stress pattern of Spanish occupies a key position in current debates in metrical stress theory. It is one of the patterns potentially capable of discriminating between accounts where distance-sensitive alignment constraints play a central role (McCarthy and Prince 1993, Gordon 2002, Hyde 2002) and accounts where they play a more restricted role (Alber 2005) or no role at all (Kager 2001, 2005; McCarthy 2003; Buckley 2009). Distance-insensitive alignment constraints simply distinguish between alignment and misalignment, preferring the former. Distance-sensitive alignment constraints distinguish between different degrees of misalignment, preferring smaller degrees of misalignment to greater degrees of misalignment. While it has been influentially argued that the power of distance-sensitive alignment is unnecessary (Kager 2001, 2005; McCarthy 2003; Buckley 2009), the Spanish secondary stress pattern provides a clear counterexample
