Resumo: Há muito tempo, a consciência humana tem desafiado cientistas de várias áreas do conhecimento. Em computação, na última década, tem se observado um crescimento significativo dos estudos sobre consciência artificial. Uma abordagem computacional promissora é a da arquitetura Baars-Franklin desenvolvida por Stan Franklin e inspirada na teoria do workspace global de Bernard Baars. Esse trabalho visa examinar essa tecnologia e verificar as vantagens e desvantagens do seu uso na implementação de agentes inteligentes. Como o estudo de consciência artificial é inerentemente multidisciplinar, inicialmente apresentam-se as principais teorias gerais de consciência. Em seguida, é feito um levantamento dos principais trabalhos na área de consciência artificial. Por fim, utiliza-se a arquitetura Baars-Franklin no controle de uma criatura virtual em um problema de navegação autônoma. Esta dissertação traz uma série de contribuições teóricas, agrupando teorias de outras áreas do conhecimento fundamentais para o desenvolvimento de agentes com consciência artificial, clarifica a arquitetura Baars-Franklin e realiza um estudo de caso da aplicação desse modelo na construção de um agente autônomo.
Abstract: For years, the human consciousness has challenged scientists from several areas of knowledge. In computer science, over the last decade, a significant growth in the number of studies about artificial consciousness has been observed. The architecture Baars-Franklin, developed by Stan Franklin, is a computational promising approach which is inspired by the Bernard Baars' global workspace theory. This work aims to discuss this technology and verify its advantages and disadvantages. Due to the intrinsic multidisciplinary characteristic of the study of artificial consciousness, first of all, the main general theories about consciousness are presented. After that, the most relevant studies about artificial consciousness are surveyed. Finally, the architecture Baars-Franklin is applied to control a virtual creature in an autonomous navigation problem. This dissertation brings some theoretical contributions, aggregating theories from other areas of knowledge, clarifying the architecture Baars-Franklin and showing a practical case study of the application of this model in order to build an autonomous agent.

Argumentamos que o conceito do Teatro Cartesiano é vago, e através de uma análise cautelosa encontramos 10 requisitos para uma teoria não se enquadrar em um Teatro Cartesiano, através das palavras de Dennett. Verificamos que a Teoria do Espaço de Trabalho Global preenche alguns desses requisitos. Por fim, através de uma exploração das análises de Todd (2009), concluímos que as críticas principais de Dennett a alguns aspectos do Teatro Cartesiano são fracas.

This work has as its main goal a contrast of two renowned cognitive theories of consciousness, Bernard Baars’ (1988) Global Workspace Theory and Daniel Dennett’s (1991) Multiple Drafts. Although Dennett shows some appreciation to the Global Workspace Theory, his own Multiple Drafts Model does not seem very compatible with it. The specific goal of this work is to verify such compatibility by asking if the Global Workspace Theory suffers from Daniel Dennett´s criticism of the Cartesian Theater. The first chapter exposes Dennett´s perspective on the evolution of consciousness, in contrast to the view based on The Global Workspace Theory. The former understands that language and culture play a central role in the origin of consciousness; the latter understands consciousness has mainly a biological origin. In the second chapter, both theories of consciousness are exposed and reviewed. The third chapter focuses on a contrast of the two theories and some implications of the Cartesian Theater. Also, we noted that the concept of a Cartesian Theater is vague, and through a rigorous analysis, 10 requisites for a theory to evade the Cartesian Theater, following Dennett’s words, were identified. The Global Workspace Theory was shown to meet a few of these requisites. Finally, making use of Todd´s (2009) analyses, we concluded that Dennett´s main critics to some aspects of the Cartesian Theater are weak. So it follows that the criticism to the Cartesian Theater does not pose serious problems for the Global Workspace Theory

Full textEl siguiente plan de negocio presenta la creación Mosto Wine Bar, una cadena de bares especializados en vino que con una propuesta innovadora ofrecerá la mayor carta de vinos de calidad a la copa de todo Santiago en tres dispensaciones diferentes. Se contará con la tecnología de las máquinas dispensadoras de vino Enomatic, las cuales permiten implementar un nuevo formato de autoservicio, siendo pioneros en el mercado. El enfoque de los bares es poder satisfacer las necesidades que se presentan en el mercado. Hay oportunidades por la falta de opciones que tienen los tomadores de vino al momento de querer tomar un buen vino. Se ofrecerá la mayor oferta de vino a la copa en todo Santiago, logrando una diferenciación por la experiencia que vivirá el cliente al momento de visitar los bares. Se estima captar 102.600 clientes al año, los cuales se estimaron tomando de referencia al competidor más directo, Bocanáriz. Se tomó la decisión de adquirir las 27 máquinas Enomatic necesaria para los tres locales a través de un contrato leasing a 5 años, donde se cubrirá el valor residual al final del periodo, lo que contempla una inversión inicial en $257.833.674, donde también se incluye equipamiento de locales, remodelación, capital de trabajo y patentes para los tres locales. Uno de los objetivos de marketing es crear conocimiento de marca y presencia en el mercado por lo que se estableció un presupuesto anual para marketing y publicidad de $21.120.000. Se debe tomar en cuenta que muchas de las tácticas se realizarán vía internet, por lo que no tienen costos. Se tendrá presencia a través de un sitio web propio, en sitios web de bares y restaurantes en Santiago, perfil de Facebook, promoción en puntos de venta, convenios con agencias de turismo en Santiago y con escuelas de sommeliers y finalmente, avisos trimestrales en revistas especializadas. Se proyectó un ingreso por ventas el primer año de $946.232.100, obteniendo un flujo neto de efectivo de $86.045.445, con un VAN positivo equivalente a $62.261.377 y una tasa interna de retorno de 32,46%, recuperando la inversión en un periodo de 4.3 años. Se buscará inversionistas interesados en el proyecto para que aporten capital y se logre la implementación el negocio. Los márgenes que se logran en la industria de bares son significativamente altos, estableciendo en Mosto márgenes por botella entre un 483%, en el caso de las botellas de menor costo, y un 63%, en el caso de las botellas de vino más exclusivas.

Full textThe properties of soft, viscoelastic materials at high strain rates are important in furthering our understanding of their role during blast or impact events. Testing these soft or low impedance materials using metallic bars in a split Hopkinson pressure bar setup, poor signal to noise ratios and impedance mismatching occur. One solution is to use polymeric Hopkinson bars. In this dissertation, Polycarbonate, Polymethyl Methacrylate and Nylon are considered for use as Hopkinson bars. Conventional Hopkinson bar analysis cannot be used on the polymeric bars due to the viscoelastic nature of the bar material. As stress waves propagate along the length of the bars, viscoelastic effects result in dispersion and attenuation. The main topic of this dissertation is to account for this viscoelastic material effect.

Full textTwo additional specimens were constructed without any transverse reinforcement. These columns were later retrofitted, by drilling horizontal holes in the columns, adding special headed bars (one head fixed and one head threaded) and then filling the drilled holes with epoxy. These retrofitted specimens had two different spacings for the added headed bars. The improvement of the response with these added headed bars provided insight into the rehabilitation of older structures containing poorly detailed columns. All of the test specimens were instrumented to determine strain localization during failure and to monitor the strains in the longitudinal and transverse reinforcement.

Full textIn the Local Group of galaxies we can distinguish two categories of dwarf galaxies. The dIrr galaxies exhibit certain degree of discy rotation, whereas the dSph galaxies have spheroidal shapes. In the tidal stirring scenario initially disky dwarf galaxies are transformed into spheroids due to repeated interactions with the host galaxy. An intermediate stage of this process involves the formation of a tidally induced bar in the stellar disc of the dwarf. First, we study the orbital structure in an $N$-body simulation. We determined orbital frequencies and shapes of stars. Majority of the orbits (more than $80\%$) have boxy shapes, while only about $8\%$ belong to the classical family x$_1$. Then, we study impact of two parameters: the size of the orbit of the dwarf and the inclination of its disc. The most pronounced bar was created on the intermediate-sized orbit while increasing the inclination leads to weaker bars. During further pericenter passages the bars were weakened and shortened. Finally, we study the impact of the interstellar medium varying gas fraction. In all cases bars of similar length formed in the stellar component of the dwarfs. However, the gaseous component remained approximately axisymmetric. In the models with a lower gas fraction the bars were more pronounced and survived until the end of the simulations, while in the dwarfs with a higher gas fraction the bars were destroyed after the second or third pericenter passages

Full textThis creative dissertation consists of a novella, The Riot. alongside a contextualizing essay. Ultimately, this project is about social justice for a population that is forced together, those who contain and the ones contained. The former group are the gatekeepers of the barrier that runs between two parallel worlds. less concrete than mortar and concertina wire, more dangerous and more permeable. It is the thinnest, most tenuous part of our buffered-up society, and one that can be rendered, ripped, or compromised in a moment..
Inside Job collates different perspectives into one novella, which acts as a frame story for the lived experience that is human containment, including the unique commonality between both parties, that of being judged by a larger society. Prison is a secret place; truth is often hidden. Steel bars are my view finder in weaving together the voices of those who are isolated as they serve either time or the system, along with the writings of prison scholars and creative fiction and nonfiction writers. Key to my contextualzing essay has been the work of Michel Foucault, Linda Alcoff, creative nonfiction pioneer Lee Gutkind, and prison writers who stand on both sides of the bars, including Ted Conover, George Jackson, and Caleb Smith.

(cont.) Experiments were performed in a large wave flume to validate the theory and to study additional aspects of sand bar evolution. The wave envelope and bar profile were recorded for low and high beach reflection, monochromatic and polychromatic waves, and several sediment grain sizes. In particular, sediment sorting was demonstrated under standing waves when the seabed consisted of initially well mixed sand of two grain sizes.
A quantitative theory is described for the evolution of sand bars under monochromatic surface water waves. By assuming the slopes of the waves and seabed are comparably gentle, an approximate evolution equation is found for the seabed elevation. The boundary layer structure is calculated by assuming a depth-linear or depth-independent time-invariant eddy viscosity. An empirical formula by Sleath (1978) is used to predict the bedload transport. A convective diffusion equation governs the suspended sediment transport (which includes the effects of wave-advection), and empirical formulae by Lee et al. (2004) and Wikramanayake & Madsen (1994) specify the time-varying concentration at the seabed. Effects of mean beach slope and narrow banded waves are also considered. The sand bar elevation is found to evolve according to a forced-diffusion equation, where the diffusivity is the gravitational effect on bedload transport on a slope and the forcing is due to both bedload and suspended load transport mechanisms. The time scale of sand bar evolution is over four orders of magnitude longer than the wave period: days in the lab and weeks in the field. In addition to the effects of bedload considered before by Yu & Mei (2000), it is found that suspended load provides a new forcing mechanism affecting sand bar geometry when the seabed is composed of fine sediments. When wave reflection is significant, bars and waves interact through the Bragg scattering mechanism. Under strong reflection, large regions exist where there is no change to the seabed. For weaker reflection, an inviscid return flow is present that places an additional stress on the bed. As shown by Yu & Mei (2000), any finite beach reflection is sufficient to generate and maintain sand bars.

Full textFor many years, shotcrete (sprayed concrete) has been used for slope stabilization and the reinforcement of degraded structures. Nowadays, it's also used to build full-depth structural reinforced concrete elements such as shear walls, columns, thin shells, tunnel linings and girders. However, concerns regarding the encapsulation quality of the reinforcing bars have been raised by structural engineers. Indeed, imperfections could be created specifically behind the reinforcing bars if concrete is inappropriately sprayed which could cause the premature failure of structural elements. Essentially, very little research has been completed on the subject and the current guidelines rely completely on empirical evidence which serves only to evaluate the encasement quality of reinforcing bars from cores taken from pre-construction panels. This study aims to increase the scientific understanding regarding the bond stress reduction between reinforcing bars and concrete caused by the presence of such imperfections in order to include this phenomenon in the current inspection and design guidelines for shotcrete structures. To counteract the bond stress loss, if any, modification factors to be used in conjunction with the development length equation of reinforcing bars in tension is proposed. To do so, the study includes an experimental, a modeling and lastly an analytical phase. The experimental phase includes sprayed as well as cast in-place with artificial voids (to recreate the imperfections observed when shotcrete is incorrectly applied) “pull-out” specimens. Cast in-place “beam-end” specimens with artificial voids were also studied. The modeling phase only includes “beam-end” specimens and the main studied results were the ultimate load and the mode of failure of the specimens which were found to be mainly influenced by the transversal length of the voids (or un-bonded perimeters) and the concrete cover. The results allowed to establish un-bonded perimeters limits beyond which a possible reinforcing bar pull-out failure could occur. However, since a certain bar stress loss was still observed even below the limits established, the analytical phase served to propose modification factors to be used in conjunction with the development length equation. Thus, important guidelines have been created for structural engineers allowing them make decisions regarding the integrity of shotcrete structures during the inspection phase or to take into account shotcrete during the design phase of structures if imperfections are observed or are susceptible to be created behind the reinforcing bars.
