La escuela es indisociable de la dimensión de lo común. Su arquitectura acoge espacios donde se construyen experiencias vitales y de aprendizaje del estar en el mundo en relación con los otros, y constituyen, en sí mismos, una arquitectura de vínculos y relaciones entre las personas con potencial para definir la arquitectura de lo común. El histórico diálogo entre arquitectura y pedagogía integra lo comunitario como eje vertebrador que no es compatible con las distintas formas, pretéritas y contemporáneas, de control y aislamiento del individuo del menor. Sin embargo, la sociedad reincide cíclicamente en el aula como unidad de funcionamiento y confinamiento, mientras su digitalización contemporánea contribuye a la segregación de la escuela de su entorno y comunidad. En la presente investigación acudimos a la reformulación del sistema educativo que se produjo de manos de instituciones gubernamentales mundiales en los años setenta, a través del trabajo de Jean Adler y Margrit I. Kennedy, que inscribieron la escuela comunitaria, inacabada y reprogramable en el tiempo, como proyecto político. Para el abordaje de la complejidad de organizaciones humanas, temporales y espaciales que conlleva esta concepción de escuela, se recurrió a la herramienta proyectual y arquitectónica del diagrama para registrar y relacionar los condicionantes territoriales, tanto materiales como humanos. El diagrama incorpora una variabilidad de forma y estructura infinita, abierta a su construcción en comunidad y que además resulta un dispositivo facilitador para el trabajo entre los distintos agentes que están implicados en la co-creación de la escuela comunitaria. Se declara así la construcción de la escuela comunitaria como una arquitectura para un proyecto político que responda a diversas crisis contemporáneas: crisis de los recursos, de los cuidados, de la salud, del aislamiento social, del medio ambiente y de la natalidad., The Commons dimension is inseparable from school architecture, as the latter provides students with a space to live essential experiences stimulating contacts with others, and thus learning how to relate to the world. A school is in itself an architecture of people’s inter-relationships and links: a true architecture of Commons. The historical dialogue between architecture and pedagogy marks the Commons as the beginning of the incompatibility between the varying past and present ways in which individuals are controlled and isolated. Society cyclically backslides into treating the classroom as a unit of operation and confinement, while today’s digitalisation contributes to segregating the school from its environment and community. The present study addressed the redesigning of the 1970s school system by international governmental institutions based on the efforts of Jean Ader and Margrit I. Kennedy. Their work established the community school as an unfinished political project that is reprogrammable over time. This complex school approach embraces human, temporal, and spatial factors. It requires an architectural instrument designed to record and connect human and material territorial conditions, i.e., a diagram. The diagram incorporates an endless range of forms and structures which encourage the building of community. Moreover, it is a useful tool to collaborate with all agents involved in the building of a community school. For its part, the community school defines itself as a political project architecture that will address various contemporary crises: resources, health and care, social isolation, environmental crisis, and low birth rates.

This thesis examines the certification management challenge faced by Integrity360. The decentralized approach, characterized by manual processes and disparate data sources, leads to inefficient tracking of certification status and study progress. The main objective of this project was to construct a system that automates data retrieval, ensures a complete audit, and increases security and privacy. Leveraging the ASP.NET Boilerplate (ABP) framework, Angular, and MongoDB, an efficient and scalable system was designed, developed, and built based on DDD (domain-driven design) principles for a modular and maintainable architecture. The implemented system automates data retrieval from the Credly API, tracks exam information, manages exam vouchers, and implements a credible authentication system with role-based access control. With the time limitations behind the full-scale implementation of all the planned features, such as a dashboard with aggregated charts and automatic report generation, the platform significantly increases the efficiency and precision of employee certification management. Future work will include these advanced functionalities and integrations with external platforms to improve the system and increase its impact on operations in Integrity360.

This article explores the complex interplay between the visual, numerical and verbal elements of data visualisation and their role in shaping policy concerns. Focusing on the aesthetic and temporal dimensions of statistical graphics and drawing on the notion of diagram in the Deleuzian sense, the article emphasises the performative nature of data visualisation. More specifically, it explores how data visualisation suggests, rather than reveals, particular visions of educational pasts, presents and futures. Based on an analysis of graphs and charts selected from recent UNESCO and OECD reports, the article discusses the practices of the datafication of time and temporalisation and the beautification of data, which together produce ‘beautiful evidence’. This evidence informs education policies and practices and affects the way education can be seen, known and acted upon.

This paper concerns the judgement and critique of athletic movement in moving images. Inspired by the ski crash trial case of Paltrow v. Sanderson, and by comparing different media representations of downhill skiing, the essay outlines a framework that discerns as well as connects elements of movement and images, developing the concept of the ‘diorama’ in relation to Deleuze’s notion of the diagram and Kant’s idea of critique. Thus, moving images featuring elite alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin, fictional character James Bond, and an official skiing game for the international ski federation (World Cup Ski Racing, FIS) figure as comparative material to the animation that played a central role in the celebrity trial. Diorama and diagram are posited on a continuum to assess when and how judgement takes place in each of the exhibits. The essay concludes by discussing how the judging of athletic movement in moving images contributed to Paltrow winning the case, and theoretically by connecting this finding to dioramas and diagrams as tools apt for a framework aiming at the critique of athletic movement in moving images. © 2024 The Author(s).

[Abstract] Background: Prostate and colorectum cancers rank among the most common cancers, and incontinence is a significant postsurgical issue affecting the physical and psychological well-being of cancer survivors. Social media, particularly YouTube, has emerged as a vital source of health information. While YouTube offers valuable content, users must exercise caution due to potential misinformation. Objective: This study aims to assess the quality of publicly available YouTube videos related to incontinence after pelvic cancer surgery. Methods: A search on YouTube related to "Incontinence after cancer surgery" was performed, and 108 videos were analyzed. Multiple quality assessment tools (DISCERN, GQS, JAMA, PEMAT, and MQ-VET) and statistical analyses (descriptive statistics and intercorrelation tests) were used to evaluate the characteristics and popularity, educational value, quality, and reliability of these videos, relying on novel graphical representation techniques such as Sankey and Chord diagrams. Results: Strong positive correlations were found among quality rating scales, emphasizing agreement. The performed graphical analysis reinforced the reliability and validity of quality assessments. Conclusions: This study found strong correlations among five quality scales, suggesting their effectiveness in assessing health information quality. The evaluation of YouTube videos consistently revealed "high" quality content. Considering the source is mandatory when assessing quality, healthcare and academic institutions are reliable sources. Caution is advised with ad-containing videos. Future research should focus on policy improvements and tools to aid patients in finding high-quality health content.

This paper describes the most common errors that occur when applying the 7 Basic Quality Tools (7BQT), which are committed involuntarily by work groups or teams, when they are used in the process of analyzing quality projects. Gets better. The errors described here were collected through professional experience and observation in multiple projects carried out in the productive sector of public and private goods and services, for many years. The objective is to make users of the 7BQT, such as academics, students, professionals and workers aware of these errors in their application, in order to permanently eliminate them, since they sometimes cause the abandonment or failure of the improvement projects. It is possible that through better training and good teamwork, these mistakes can definitely be eradicated and better benefit from 7BQT., En el presente trabajo se describen los errores más comunes que ocurren al aplicar las 7 Herramientas Básicas de la Calidad (7HB), los cuales son cometidos involuntariamente por los grupos o equipos de trabajo, cuando las utilizan en el proceso de análisis de los proyectos de mejora. Los errores que aquí se describen fueron recopilados mediante la experiencia profesional y la observación en múltiples proyectos realizados en el sector productivo de bienes y servicios público y privado, por muchos años.

This work has been financed by Spanish Dirección General de Investigación Científica y Técnica (DGICYT) under Grants No. PB91-0110 and PB91-0378., A recently proposed entropic criterion [P.V. Giaquinta and G. Guinta, Physica A 187, 145 (1992)] for the determination of phase transitions in simple fluids is applied to two-fluid models, a purely repulsive point Yukawa fluid, and a 6-12 Lennard-Jones system. Both the gas-liquid and the freezing transitions are investigated by means of integral equation theory, and assessed with simulation data available in the literature. Our results indicate that the entropic criterion is a reasonable tool for predicting the freezing transition at low temperatures, in particular for purely repulsive potentials. Comparison with other melting rules is less favorable when there is an important attractive component in the interaction. On the other hand, the determination of the gas-liquid critical point and the liquid side of the gas-liquid coexistence curve is merely qualitative. Our results, however, show the existence of a correlation between the gas-liquid transition and the location of one of the inflection points of the density-dependent excess residual entropy., Dirección General de Investigación Científica y Técnica (DGICYT), Depto. de Estructura de la Materia, Física Térmica y Electrónica, Fac. de Ciencias Físicas, TRUE, pub

soon as the SARS‐Cov2 disease was recognized by experts to potentially cause a serious pandemic, a three dimensional diagrammatic image of the virus, colored in strong red, conquered public media globally.This study confronts this iconic virus image with a historic image analysis of 33,000 biomedical articles on coronaviruses published between 1968–2020 and interviews with some of their authors.Only a small fraction of scientific virus publications entail images of the complete virus. Red as an alarm color is not used at all by scientists who don't aim for a non‐scientific public.Circulation in this case concerns the movement of iconic images from a scientific context into a general public. On the basis of hps‐studies on scientific diagrams and especially on color use in scientific diagrams to convey specific messages in public, the paper discusses the role of the claim of public corona‐virus diagram as “scientific.”It points at relevant differences between most frequent scientific corona‐virus images and the diagrammatic image used in public. Both author‐ and readerships (in science and public) follow contrasting aims and values. Thus, the images meet non‐expert readers for whom the images entail very different – and potentially unintended – meanings then to virus experts., Peer Reviewed

New Belgrade was developed on modernist principles focused on the essence of dwelling, along with the idea of continuity based on the formation of fluid, liminal spaces and designing "from the inside out". In accordance with the aforementioned, the research premise is that the long-term recognition of New Belgrade residential blocks overall quality can be reflected in the preservation of human-scale continuity, which therefore also ensures temporal continuity - the sustainability of project over time. The drawing maps relevant boundaries on a micro and macro scale, which affirm the continuity of modernist dwelling ideas in the present-day.

In this paper we adopt Charles Sanders Peirce's concept of iconicity to analyse pictural communication. While visual semiotics has a well-developed structural school, the concepts of visual semiotics stemming from Peirce's pragmatic sign theory are often overlooked. The specific purpose of this study is to explore the semiotics of visual signs, exemplified by two prominent pictures of former US President Donald Trump. We argue that Peirce's semiotic framework for iconicity in visual signs (the image, the diagram, and the metaphor) offers a useful framework for discussing how the meaning of visual signs is motivated. On this basis, we propose that Peirce's concept of hypoicons provides us with a richer understanding of how visual signs acquire meaning and how their interpretation varies across cultural habits, and collateral experience.

Data visualization has become an integral part of governing education, greatly expanding its reach and influence in the digital age. From tracking the performance of individual students to monitoring the overall success of educational systems, data visualization serves as a powerful tool for informing policy and decision-making on both global and local levels. By providing an easy-to-understand representation of numerical data, it helps governments to quickly identify patterns and trends over time, make calculations about the future and communicate complex information in ways that are both informative and aesthetically pleasing. While there has recently been an increased interest in understanding the role of numbers in shaping education policy (e.g., Pettersson, 2020), visual representations have so far received little attention. Given the importance attached to data in education governance (Williamson, 2016), this gap is surprising. The aim of this paper is, therefore, to contribute insights on how images, words and numbers work together to produce knowledge that makes educational systems amenable to analysis, comparison, and governance (Decuypere & Landri, 2021; Williamson, 2016). More precisely, we explore how quantitates are transformed into geometric shapes, arrows, bars, and vectors to create persuasive accounts of what ‘works’ and what needs to be fixed. We do so by analyzing abstract non-representational pictures employed by international education agencies (such as OECD and UNESCO) in their reports from the last three decades. Inspired by Science and Technologies Studies (Daston & Galison, 2007; Latour, 2012; Lynch & Woolgar, 1990), we consider data visualization a specific technique of knowledge production that structures our understanding of educational spaces and temporalities (cf. Decuypere & Simons, 2020). Although data visualization is often assigned the role of ‘cognitive aid’, the preliminary results of our study indicate that it is

L’objectif de cet essai est de proposer un outil d’aide à la décision pour guider la mise en place d’une démarche d’adaptation aux changements climatiques pour les activités de plein air dans les aires protégées au Québec. Les activités de plein air sont importantes au Québec pour la santé des individus, la société, l’économie et l’environnement. Toutefois, leur pratique est influencée par les changements climatiques dont plusieurs conséquences s’observent déjà. L’adaptation est donc nécessaire pour en réduire les effets néfastes inévitables et saisir les opportunités. Un modèle basé sur la gestion adaptative convient pour intégrer la considération des changements climatiques dans les décisions de gestion et l’offre d’activités de plein air. Un cadre théorique représentant un processus itératif est proposé pour créer un outil d’aide à la décision et pour guider la mise en place de stratégies de gestion permettant d’accommoder l’incertitude liée aux changements climatiques. Ce cadre théorique définit cinq étapes qui doivent être répétées selon les observations et les nouvelles informations qui deviennent disponibles. Ces étapes sont le portrait de la situation, l’identification des conséquences sur les activités de plein air ainsi que le niveau de risque selon les projections, la sélection des mesures pour réduire la vulnérabilité, la mise en place de ces mesures et le suivi et l’évaluation. Présentement, la recherche sur la manière dont les changements climatiques affectent les activités de plein air et les mesures pouvant être mises en place est inégale selon les régions et les secteurs. La capacité d’adaptation des gestionnaires est notamment affectée par des enjeux de main-d’œuvre, de financement et d’un manque d’expertise. L’outil d’aide à la décision proposé comprend un schéma décisionnel pour résumer les actions, un guide d’utilisation ainsi que des feuilles de travail pour documenter le processus et les apprentissages. L’outil est flexible et peut être utilis, The objective of this essay is to propose a workbook to guide the implementation of climate change adaptation strategies for outdoor recreation in protected areas in Quebec. Outdoor recreation is important in Quebec for the population’s health, the economy, and the environment. However, the associated activities depend greatly on climate. Both positive and negative consequences are already being observed due to climate change. Hence, adaptation is necessary to reduce the inevitable harm that will be caused and seize the opportunities that arise. A model based on adaptive management is well suited for the incorporation of climate change considerations in management decisions. To implement a management strategy for outdoor recreation in protected areas that accommodates the uncertainty related to climate change, a theoretical framework representing an iterative process is suggested. The theoretical framework consists of five steps that should be repeated based on observations and new information that becomes available. These steps are the description of the situation, the identification of the consequences on outdoor activities and the level of risk according to projections, the selection of measures to reduce vulnerability, the implementation of the measures, and monitoring and evaluation. Currently, research on how climate change affects outdoor recreation and the initiatives put in place are unequal across regions and sectors. The managers’ adaptive capacity is affected by challenges related to the workforce, financing, and lack of expertise. The proposed workbook is based on the theoretical framework and includes a diagram to guide actions, a user guide, and worksheets to document the learning process. It is flexible and can be used by any protected area manager in Quebec, regardless of the scope of the objectives. To encourage the implementation of adaptation strategies, the main recommendations include the increase in government funding for adaptation

In 1989, the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) developed a daring architectural typology—a “project without form”. The setting is a laboratory headed by Rem Koolhaas, in which actors from different disciplines work on three competition challenges at the same time. In the process, the mechanisms of project development and knowledge acquisition merge into increasingly abstract systems and representations. The “project without form” is not built in any of the three cases. The book not only follows the progress of the laboratory in 1989 but also reflects on its prehistory and aftermath, drawing on interviews with various actors at OMA conducted by Holger Schurk. The publication focuses on the hybrid processes of production and representation in the OMA project Très Grande Bibliothèque (TGB) in Paris: these are visualized by means of numerous hitherto unpublished sketches, drawings, and photographs as well as sequences of video stills.

The chirality-flow formalism has proven to make amplitude calculations in the Standard Model analytically simple in comparison to previously established formalisms. To test the viability of the chirality-flow formalism for numerical implementations, a Chiral Automized Flow Extension (CAFE) for MadGraph5_aMC@NLO has been developed to compare amplitude evaluation time scaling between the two. CAFE uses a new UFO format model and a new HELAS-like library to make evaluations in the chirality-flow formalism. Additionally, an algorithm has been implemented to make a simple gauge choice, based on which diagrams that will not contribute to the matrix elements will be discarded already at compile time. The effects of these two changes on evaluation time scaling with process complexity have been studied, and CAFE has been shown to both be faster for all considered processes and to scale better with diagram complexity than MadGraph5., Få blir nog förvånade om någon hävdar att beräkningar inom partikelfysik är invecklade. Bara för att beräkna sannolikheten att den enklaste processen vi tar hänsyn till (vilket är när två elektroner krockar och studsar mot varandra) krävs det åtminstone tre-fyra sidor med ren matematik, och svårigheterna växer snabbt ju mer komplexa processer vi arbetar med. För att kunna ha teoretiska värden att jämföra våra experimentella mätningar med måste dessa sannolikheter dock beräknas; utan dem är det omöjligt att säga när vi väl upptäcker fysik bortom våra nuvarande teorier. En av de huvudsakliga orsakerna till problematiken är att den matematik vi använder för att beskriva universum är fyrdimensionell: Vi har tre rumsdimensioner (upp-ned, höger-vänster, framåt-bakåt) och en tidsdimension (framtid-förflutet). Fyrdimensionell matte är mycket krånglingare än den medelpersonen är van vid, då det inte längre räcker att ta hänsyn till hur ett tal relaterar till ett annat: Det räcker inte att säga att 1 + 1 = 2. I fyrdimensionell matte måste det tas hänsyn till hur höger-vänster påverkar upp-ned, hur framåt-bakåt påverkar framtid-förflutet, och vice versa för alla kombinationer mellan dem: Kort och gott måste hur fyra olika saker relaterar till varandra beräknas, vilket blir 4 × 4 = 16 gånger mer komplicerat än vad vanlig endimensionell matte är. Vi måste nu betrakta om ettan vi tittar på ligger längs höger-vänster eller uppåt-nedåt innan vi kan säga om 1 plus 1 är så enkelt som 2, eller om det är en etta åt höger som är helt skild från en etta som riktar bakåt. För att förenkla beräkningarna har fysiker sedan 80-talet arbetat med att beskriva sakerna vi beräknar i lägre-dimensionell matematik. Genom att dela in det fyrdimensionella rummet vi lever i i två stycken tvådimensionella rum som beter sig ungefär likadant förenklades beräkningar med den så kallade spinor-helicitetsformalismen, som har blivit stor de senaste årtiondena. På senare år har en vidareutveckling av spinor-hel

Reliability centered maintenance (RCM) is a new strategic framework for evaluating system maintenance requirements in its operating conditions. Some industries employ predictive maintenance strategies in addition to preventive maintenance (PM) strategies, which increase production costs. As the breakdown maintenance (BDM) technique is used, the maintenance cost increases. The RCM approach is a mixture of these maintenance strategies that can be used to optimize the maintenance costs and to ensure the availability of the system. The RCM method was applied to the steam boiler system used in the textile industries for the research work reported in this paper. The RCM methodology stated in the literature cannot be implemented, as it is in Indian textile industries due to the lack of knowledge of RCM principles, a labor-oriented nature, the use of partially computerized information systems, an inadequate maintenance database, and information about maintenance costs and production loss. To resolve these issues, a modified RCM approach involving a large number of experts is developed. To apply this RCM methodology, critical components are identified through reliability and failure mode effect and criticality analysis (FMECA). Finally, scheduled maintenance strategies and their intervals are recommended to ensure that the system continues to operate properly. According to this study, implementing the RCM technique effectively will increase boiler system reliability and availability by 28.15 percent and 0.16 percent, respectively. Additionally, up to 20.32 percent of the maintenance cost can be saved annually by applying these scheduled maintenance programs. © 2022 by the authors.

Ett diagrams syfte är att förenkla och förmedla en datamängd och dess innebörd. Hur kan man på bästa sätt presentera en datamängd och vilka faktorer spelar roll vid val av diagramtyp? Studien kommer undersöka dessa frågor, samt att utreda för Marknads- information ABs räkning hur deras arbetssätt med att generera diagram med Microsoft Excel kan förbättras och förenklas för deras specifika önskemål genom att skapa en applikation för det ändamålet. För att utreda studiens frågeställningar har en litteraturstudie genomförts, vi har även genomfört en empirisk studie om vad som är viktigt vid skapandet av diagram för kunden bland dess anställda, information som sedan står till grund för den tekniska implementation som skapats. Efter färdigställandet av den tekniska implementationen har en användarundersökning utförts för att examinera dess funktionalitet. Det finns delade meningar om vilka diagram som bör användas till olika datamängder. Diagram visas vara bra för att visa trender överskådligt men saknar detaljrikedomen hos en tabell. Den applikation som skapats för att generera diagram efter kundens önskemål uppskattas av företaget och fyller de behov som eftersöktes. Det finns skilda teorier om vilket diagram som lämpar sig bäst för att presentera en datamängd, och det finns olika vägar att gå beroende på föredraget utfall. För vår kund är färgsättning och överskådlighet av största vikt vid skapandet av diagram. Tillhörande text är mindre viktigt, diagrammet i sig ska kunna tala sitt tydliga språk. Då studiens omfattning är begränsat inom en organisation kan inga generella slutsatser dras av studiens resultat då testgruppen inte representerar en hel population., The purpose of a diagram is to simplify and convey a dataset and its meaning. How does one best present a dataset, and which factors play a role when choosing a type of diagram? This study will investigate these questions. We will examine how Marknads- information AB’s work procedures in generating diagrams with Microsoft Excel can be improved and simplified for their specific needs by creating an application for its purpose. To examine the questions of the report a literary study has been conducted. We have examined amongst the customer's employees what is important for them when creating diagrams. This information was subsequently the basis for the technical implemen- tation. Following the completion of the technical implementation, a user survey has been performed to examine its functionality. There are conflicting opinions on what diagrams should be used for different types of datasets. Diagrams have proven to be superior when it comes to clarity but lack the richness of detail that a table possesses. The application created to generate diagrams according to the customer's requests is appreciated by the company and meets the required targets. For the customer of this thesis, the color scheme and clarity of a diagram are of most importance, with formatting and text fields being of less importance. As the extent of the thesis is limited within the customer's organization, the answers of the thesis can not be generalized.

Systems engineers have long struggled to identify and understand system behaviors in the operational environment. System Modeling Language (SysML) is a graphical language used among systems engineers to relay details of the system’s design to various stakeholders. Monterey Phoenix (MP) is a behavioral modeling approach and tool utilizing a lightweight formal method and language to generate diagrams and display expected and unexpected emergent system behaviors. Through systematic analysis of SysML and MP behavior models, this research presents recommendations for improving MP in future releases to accommodate SysML compliance. The ability to merge MP’s scope complete event trace generation into a SysML compliant format would provide great insights and benefits into the DOD acquisition process. Findings from this research include several simple additions to MP diagrams that will better align them with SysML standards while preserving MP’s capability to enable identification of emergent behavior early in the design process, when the risks can be addressed before system design features are ever manufactured or tested., National Security Agency (NSA), Outstanding Thesis, Civilian, Missile Defense Agency, Civilian, Department of the Navy, Civilian, Department of the Navy, Civilian, Department of the Army, Approved for public release.

In M. Bakhtin's theory of the novel, the concept of chronotope serves to express the aesthetic articulation of time, space and the "human image". This conception can be extrapolated to audiovisual narratives and film analysis. And it can also be complemented with the application of the concepts of image, diagram and metaphor proposed by Ch. S. Peirce. A reading of the well-known film Rashomon, by A. Kurosawa, is proposed as an experimental and didactic example  of this theoretical-methodological attempt.  That affects, more generally, the study of symbolic mediation in modern artistic production., En la teoría de la novela de M. Bajtin los cronotopos articulan estéticamente el tiempo, el espacio y la “imagen humana”. Esta concepción se puede extrapolar a las narraciones audiovisuales y al análisis fílmico. Y puede también complementarse con la aplicación de los conceptos de imagen, diagrama y metáfora propuestos por Ch. S. Peirce. Una lectura del conocido film Rashomon, de A. Kurosawa, se propone como ejemplo experimental y didáctico de este intento teórico-metodológico. Que concierne, más en general, al estudio de la mediación simbólica en la producción artística moderna.

The variation of the interaction diagrams for solid circular columns is presented, considering the position of the longitudinal rebars. Two of them were considered: a) the first rebar coincides with the vertical longitudinal axis, and b) the first rebar is placed out of phase to the right of the semi-angle between two rebars. A variation of -4.2% up to 6.6% was evaluated in 32 pairs of interaction diagrams for columns reinforced with a variable quantity of rebars (from 6 to 11 rebars) and steel ratios ranging from 2.42 to 4.13%; the error is 2%, 4%, and 7% in columns reinforced with 10, 7, and 6 rebars respectively. Therefore, considering the position of the rebars in columns with a small amount of reinforcement (6 to 9 rebars) is very important for the design process, Este documento presenta la variación de los diagramas de interacción en columnas sólidas circulares considerando la posición del acero de refuerzo longitudinal. Dos posiciones fueron consideradas: a) la primera barra coincide con el eje vertical, b) la primera barra se coloca desfasada a la derecha el semi-ángulo entre barras. Una diferencia de -4.2% a 6.6% fue medida en 32 pares de diagramas de columnas armadas con cantidades variables de barras (6 – 11 barras) y cuantía de refuerzo entre 2.42 % y 4.13%. El error entre curvas es: 2%, 4% y 7%, en columnas reforzadas con 10, 7 y 6 barras, respectivamente. Así, se concluye la importancia de considerar la posición del acero de refuerzo en columnas circulares sólidas armadas con pocas barras de refuerzo (6-9 barras)

This study presents the simulation of a mathematical model that describes the filling and emptying process of two industrial tanks connected in parallel, the purpose of this investigation is to determine the behavior of the fluid levels inside the tanks, in this way to be able to control its levels, to optimize and improve the industrial processes of a company, for the modeling we will use the Simulink software, which is a very important MATLAB tool for the simulation of dynamic systems. At the same time, it is a graphical program, managed by means of a mouse, that allows modeling a system by drawing a block diagram on the screen that can be manipulated dynamically. Process simulation is a fundamental tool in the industry for engineering, work and decision-making tasks. It requires an absolute study of the process, the variables involved and the theoretical foundations that support it. Especially in the field of automatic control, the use of real process simulators is essential when designing and validating control strategies that make the system behave in the desired way according to a series of specifications. Currently, the industry must have the adequate infrastructure to extract, process, store and distribute the products they sell in the market and it is at this point that the need arises to implement mechanical, electronic, hydraulic or pneumatic systems, which are designed to meet a specific function. Therefore, the detailed specification of these systems and the correct dimensioning of each element that makes it up is very important to guarantee safety, efficiency, performance and quality in the production of the product. One of the most commonly used systems in industrial processes are tank systems that allow the distribution, storage and processing of a wide variety of products in different states such as liquids, gases and solids. Tank systems can be non-interacting in nature.

Portanto, a especificação detalhada desses sistemas e o dimensionamento correto de cada elemento que o compõe é muito importante para garantir segurança, eficiência, desempenho e qualidade na produção do produto. Um dos sistemas mais utilizados em processos industriais são os sistemas de tanques que permitem a distribuição, armazenamento e processamento de uma grande variedade de produtos em diferentes estados como líquidos, gases e sólidos.

Un Sistema Dinamico finito a tempo Discreto (SDD) è costituito da un insieme finito X, chiamato insieme degli stati, e da una funzione f che associa a uno stato v lo stato f(v). I SDD sono uno modello formale per rappresentare fenomeni che compaiono in Fisica, Matematica, Biologia e, naturalmente, in Informatica. Sebbene la formalizzazione matematica e i risultati ottenuti fino ad oggi siano eleganti e significativi, spesso non sono molto adatti nella pratica a causa del loro elevato costo computazionale. In letteratura è noto che i SDD, dotati di opportune operazioni di somma e prodotto, formano un semianello commutativo. Questa struttura algebrica permette di scrivere equazioni polinomiali in cui i coefficienti e le incognite sono SDD. In particolare, se siamo interessati a una dinamica derivata da dati sperimentali, possiamo scrivere un'equazione con la dinamica come termine destro costante e le ipotesi sulla funzione f (o sulle sue proprietà) in un termine polinomiale a sinistra. La ricerca di soluzioni a questa equazione permette di comprendere meglio il fenomeno e le sue proprietà. Questo approccio è interessante, ma presenta importanti limitazioni dal punto di vista computazionale. La soluzione di un'equazione polinomiale (con diverse variabili) è, in generale, indecidibile e, anche se ci concentriamo sul caso della validazione delle ipotesi, il costo computazionale rimane elevato. L'idea è quindi quella di cercare approssimazioni che diano informazioni rilevanti sulle soluzioni dell'equazione originale. È possibile introdurre tre astrazioni (equazioni più semplici) per identificare: il numero di stati delle variabili, il comportamento asintotico o il comportamento transitorio (ciò che accade prima che il sistema si stabilizzi). Ognuna di esse è costruita da un punto di vista teorico e algoritmico per introdurre un metodo per eseguire la validazione delle ipotesi sui SDD. In questa tesi si dimostra che, attraverso trasformazioni algebriche, è poss, A Finite Discrete-time Dynamical System (DDS) consists of a finite set X, called state space, and a function f, called next-state map (which associates to a state v the state f(v)). DDS are a formal tool for modelling phenomena that appear in Physics, Mathematics, Biology, and, of course, in Computer Science. While the mathematical formalisation and the results that found up to nowadays are elegant and meaningful, often they are not very suitable in practice because of their high computational cost. In the literature, it is known that DDS equipped with appropriate sum and product operations form a commutative semiring. This algebraic structure allows us to write polynomial equations in which the coefficients and unknowns are DDS. In particular, if we are interested in some dynamics derived from experimental data, we can write an equation with this as a constant right-hand term and model assumptions about the function f (or its properties) in a polynomial left-hand term. Finding solutions to this equation allow us to better understand the phenomenon and its properties. This approach is interesting but it has important limitations from a computational point of view. Solving a polynomial equation (with several variables) is, in general, undecidable, and even if we focus on the case of hypothesis validation, the computational cost remains high. The idea is then to look for approximations that give relevant information about the solutions of the original equation. It is possible to introduce three abstractions (simpler equations) to identify: the number of states of the variables, the asymptotic behaviour, or the transient behaviour (what happens before the system stabilises). Each one is built from a theoretical and algorithmic point of view to introduce a method to perform hypothesis validation on DDS. In this thesis, it is shown that through algebraic transformations, it is possible to enumerate the solutions of a polynomial equation with a constant term by enumeratin

This 3-credit course, taught by Michael Ezban, Clinical Assistant Professor of Architecture in Spring 2021, focused on the construction of analytical diagrams and animations that describe multispecies architecture—buildings intended for mutualistic cohabitation by both humans and nonhuman animals. Designing multispecies architecture is an act of inclusivity; it challenges latent and overt anthropocentric biases that exist in the design disciplines, and requires that architects seek and explore more-than-human perspectives and needs. The drawings produced by the students in this course describe entanglements between humans and nonhuman animals that shape, and are shaped by, architecture: koi ponds that provide a residence with evaporative cooling; a museum with corridors scaled to humans and elephants; stables where horses and humans can mingle on a planted roof; and more. This course asks students to attune to the functional and aesthetic decisions made by architects who have attempted to satisfy the needs of “clients” beyond the human.

The chirality-flow formalism has proven to make amplitude calculations in the Standard Model analytically simple in comparison to previously established formalisms. To test the viability of the chirality-flow formalism for numerical implementations, a Chiral Automized Flow Extension (CAFE) for MadGraph5_aMC@NLO has been developed to compare amplitude evaluation time scaling between the two. CAFE uses a new UFO format model and a new HELAS-like library to make evaluations in the chirality-flow formalism. Additionally, an algorithm has been implemented to make a simple gauge choice, based on which diagrams that will not contribute to the matrix elements will be discarded already at compile time. The effects of these two changes on evaluation time scaling with process complexity have been studied, and CAFE has been shown to both be faster for all considered processes and to scale better with diagram complexity than MadGraph5., Få blir nog förvånade om någon hävdar att beräkningar inom partikelfysik är invecklade. Bara för att beräkna sannolikheten att den enklaste processen vi tar hänsyn till (vilket är när två elektroner krockar och studsar mot varandra) krävs det åtminstone tre-fyra sidor med ren matematik, och svårigheterna växer snabbt ju mer komplexa processer vi arbetar med. För att kunna ha teoretiska värden att jämföra våra experimentella mätningar med måste dessa sannolikheter dock beräknas; utan dem är det omöjligt att säga när vi väl upptäcker fysik bortom våra nuvarande teorier. En av de huvudsakliga orsakerna till problematiken är att den matematik vi använder för att beskriva universum är fyrdimensionell: Vi har tre rumsdimensioner (upp-ned, höger-vänster, framåt-bakåt) och en tidsdimension (framtid-förflutet). Fyrdimensionell matte är mycket krånglingare än den medelpersonen är van vid, då det inte längre räcker att ta hänsyn till hur ett tal relaterar till ett annat: Det räcker inte att säga att 1 + 1 = 2. I fyrdimensionell matte måste det tas hänsyn till hur höger-vänster påverkar upp-ned, hur framåt-bakåt påverkar framtid-förflutet, och vice versa för alla kombinationer mellan dem: Kort och gott måste hur fyra olika saker relaterar till varandra beräknas, vilket blir 4 × 4 = 16 gånger mer komplicerat än vad vanlig endimensionell matte är. Vi måste nu betrakta om ettan vi tittar på ligger längs höger-vänster eller uppåt-nedåt innan vi kan säga om 1 plus 1 är så enkelt som 2, eller om det är en etta åt höger som är helt skild från en etta som riktar bakåt. För att förenkla beräkningarna har fysiker sedan 80-talet arbetat med att beskriva sakerna vi beräknar i lägre-dimensionell matematik. Genom att dela in det fyrdimensionella rummet vi lever i i två stycken tvådimensionella rum som beter sig ungefär likadant förenklades beräkningar med den så kallade spinor-helicitetsformalismen, som har blivit stor de senaste årtiondena. På senare år har en vidareutveckling av spinor-hel

Ett diagrams syfte är att förenkla och förmedla en datamängd och dess innebörd. Hur kan man på bästa sätt presentera en datamängd och vilka faktorer spelar roll vid val av diagramtyp?

För att utreda studiens frågeställningar har en litteraturstudie genomförts, vi har även genomfört en empirisk studie om vad som är viktigt vid skapandet av diagram för kunden bland dess anställda, information som sedan står till grund för den tekniska implementation som skapats. Efter färdigställandet av den tekniska implementationen har en användarundersökning utförts för att examinera dess funktionalitet. Det finns delade meningar om vilka diagram som bör användas till olika datamängder. Diagram visas vara bra för att visa trender överskådligt men saknar detaljrikedomen hos en tabell. Den applikation som skapats för att generera diagram efter kundens önskemål uppskattas av företaget och fyller de behov som eftersöktes. Det finns skilda teorier om vilket diagram som lämpar sig bäst för att presentera en datamängd, och det finns olika vägar att gå beroende på föredraget utfall. För vår kund är färgsättning och överskådlighet av största vikt vid skapandet av diagram. Tillhörande text är mindre viktigt, diagrammet i sig ska kunna tala sitt tydliga språk.

This information was subsequently the basis for the technical implemen- tation.

Textbooks may say that the so-called conic sections can be obtained from cones, but this is rarely proved. However, diagrams of the proof require no intuition for solids and can be read as flat. We construct the diagrams with ruler and compass and derive from them basic properties of conic sections as established by Apollonius of Perga, though again in a way that does not require a third dimension. The construction inevitably involves choices that give play to one’s aesthetic sense.

In 1989, the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) developed a daring architectural typology—a “project without form”. The setting is a laboratory headed by Rem Koolhaas, in which actors from different disciplines work on three competition challenges at the same time. In the process, the mechanisms of project development and knowledge acquisition merge into increasingly abstract systems and representations. The “project without form” is not built in any of the three cases. The book not only follows the progress of the laboratory in 1989 but also reflects on its prehistory and aftermath, drawing on interviews with various actors at OMA conducted by Holger Schurk. The publication focuses on the hybrid processes of production and representation in the OMA project Très Grande Bibliothèque (TGB) in Paris: these are visualized by means of numerous hitherto unpublished sketches, drawings, and photographs as well as sequences of video stills.

The variation of the interaction diagrams for solid circular columns is presented, considering the position of the longitudinal rebars. Two of them were considered: a) the first rebar coincides with the vertical longitudinal axis, and b) the first rebar is placed out of phase to the right of the semi-angle between two rebars. A variation of -4.2% up to 6.6% was evaluated in 32 pairs of interaction diagrams for columns reinforced with a variable quantity of rebars (from 6 to 11 rebars) and steel ratios ranging from 2.42 to 4.13%; the error is 2%, 4%, and 7% in columns reinforced with 10, 7, and 6 rebars respectively. Therefore, considering the position of the rebars in columns with a small amount of reinforcement (6 to 9 rebars) is very important for the design process, Este documento presenta la variación de los diagramas de interacción en columnas sólidas circulares considerando la posición del acero de refuerzo longitudinal. Dos posiciones fueron consideradas: a) la primera barra coincide con el eje vertical, b) la primera barra se coloca desfasada a la derecha el semi-ángulo entre barras. Una diferencia de -4.2% a 6.6% fue medida en 32 pares de diagramas de columnas armadas con cantidades variables de barras (6 – 11 barras) y cuantía de refuerzo entre 2.42 % y 4.13%. El error entre curvas es: 2%, 4% y 7%, en columnas reforzadas con 10, 7 y 6 barras, respectivamente. Así, se concluye la importancia de considerar la posición del acero de refuerzo en columnas circulares sólidas armadas con pocas barras de refuerzo (6-9 barras)

The electrochemical reduction of vitrified nuclear waste simulant glass produced by melting oxides of 33 different elements, including Si and four types of long-lived fission product elements (Cs, Zr, Pd, and Se), was investigated in molten CaCl₂ at 1103 K. Before the experiment, potential−pO²⁻ diagrams were constructed from the thermodynamic data to predict the behaviors of the constituent elements during the electrochemical reduction. In the first experiment, small crucible electrodes containing approximately 100 mg of the simulant were electrolyzed at 0.6–1.1 V vs. Ca²⁺/Ca. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that SiO₂ was reduced to Si. In addition, the formation of XB₆ (X = Ca, Si, or rare earth elements (REEs)) was confirmed. In the second experiment, a large crucible electrode containing approximately 10 g of the simulant was galvanostatically reduced at −2 A for 5 h. The distribution ratios of the constituent elements to the solid product and to the molten salt were calculated from the result of composition analysis using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and mass spectrometry. In particular, four types of long-lived fission product elements (Cs, Zr, Pd, and Se) were investigated. Consequently, alkali and alkaline earth elements, including Cs, were dissolved into the molten salt. Si mostly remained in the solid product as elemental silicon. Most of the other elements, including Zr and Pd, were also found in the solid product. Se and Zn were indicated to partially evaporate depending on the duration of electrolysis.

This article examines Felipe Rivas San Martin’s piece El sueño neoliberal (2015) through the prism of Gilles Deleuze notion of the diagram. Rivas San Martin´s piece subjects the well-known photograph of the bombing of La Moneda on September 11th 1973 to Google’s Deep Dream algorithm. By examining this operation through the prism of the notion of the diagram, we can make the relations of forces in both images visible. This allows for a better understanding of how this algorithm is interpreting the original image. This article offers two main hypotheses. First, it suggests that the stain/stroke system that Deleuze uses to define the diagram is a key to visualize the main interpretative forces at stake in this work. Second, this article suggests that the algorithm offers a twofold movement: on the one hand in frees the original images from its historical “clichés”, while, on the other, in reinstates new forms of clichés that are contained in the training datasets., El presenta artículo examina la obra El sueño neoliberal (2015) del artista visual chileno Felipe Rivas San Martín a través del concepto de diagrama propuesto por Gilles Deleuze. La obra de Rivas San Martín somete la conocida imagen del bombardeo a La Moneda el 11 de septiembre de 1973 a una interpretación iterativa por parte del algoritmo Deep Dream de Google. Al leer esta operación desde el concepto de diagrama de Deleuze se nos hacen visibles las relaciones de fuerza que atraviesan a ambas imágenes. Esto permite una reflexión sobre el tipo de operaciones que caracterizan al algoritmo de Google. El artículo ofrece dos hipótesis principales. En primer lugar, sugiere que el sistema trazo/mancha propuesto por Deleuze para caracterizar el diagrama permite visualizar las fuerzas interpretativas que están en juego en la operación de Rivas San Martín y que guían la interpretación algorítmica de Deep Dream. En segundo lugar, se sugiere que el algoritmo, por un lado, desarticula los clichés anquilosados en la imagen original (deshaciendo tanto su dimensión simbólica como figurativa), pero por el otro vuelve a imponer nuevos clichés contenidos en las bases de datos utilizadas para su entrenamiento. Estos clichés, sin embargo, no pueden retornar más que de forma monstruosa.

A Flat Theory presents a first step toward a yet-to-be-completed, larger project: a genealogy of apartments. While centering on the historical formation of apartments, it does not offer a straight-forward history of apartments or flats. Rather, as a contribution to a wider history of the present, it draws together the first synthetic study of the complex processes through which apartments have initially taken form. To do so, it proposes an eco-systemic and assemblage-theoretic extension of genealogical modes of inquiry so as to draw together an epiphylogenetic mapping of this complex process. After situating and specifying this approach, A Flat Theory charts three converging lineages that mark the ‘material-discursive’ formation of appartamenti and appartements as an (I) architectural concept, (II) spatial phenomenon, and (III) residential system during the 1540–1780s in western Europe, Methods & Matter

The purpose of the artistic research, Moving through Choreography – Curating Choreography as an Artistic Practice, has been to consider choreography and curating in their similarities and differences. Thus, at different phases of the working process, choreography and curating were treated as one and the same artistic practice; while, in other moments, as practices that are distinct from each other. Curating has been implemented as a ‘taking care’ principle and a relational activity impacting the production, presentation and documentation of choreography. Choreography has undergone a process of self-reincarnations, or rather, of trans-carnations, whereby the entire body of work has been scrutinized and altered. Key figure/body/agent of these trans-carnations has been the horse, or rather, the assemblage of human and horse, women and horses, here called ‘Centauring.’ Curating and choreography have been integrated to a scrutiny of the art of riding, specifically, the choreography of dressage. In dressage, the research has identified the rigor needed by the research to both steer and unleash the working process. The research has been pursued by purely artistic means, within a circumscribed field. Different perspectives and the making use of ramifications and loose ends, has proliferated into a plethora of intra-related works, objects and choreographies within which research result and artistic result coincide. The research har proceeded in consecutive phases. Each phase has developed its own specific artistic methodologies. The overarching methodology has provided for a clear navigation of undetermined directions and dramaturgies. The concept of ‘One’ has produced and collected both core outcomes and residual manifestations. The exhibitions and the exhibitor have carried, pursued and embodied the works and otherwise choreographies, throughout the research process., Examensbenämning: Konstnärlig doktorsexamen i performativa och mediala praktiker Engelsk examensbenämning: Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Fine Arts in Performative and Media Based Practices.
