Abstract:
A análise de cenas complexas por computadores não é uma tarefa trivial, entretanto, o cérebro humano pode realizar esta função de maneira eficiente. A evolução natural tem desenvolvido formas para otimizar nosso sistema visual de modo que apenas partes importantes da cena sejam analisadas a cada instante. Este mecanismo de seleção é denominado por atenção visual. A atenção visual opera sob dois aspectos: bottom-up e top-down. A atenção bottom-up é dirigida por conspicuidades baseadas na cena, como o contraste de cores, orientação, etc. Por outro lado, a atenção top-down é controlada por tarefa

Abstract:
Selective spatial attention and multisensory integration have been traditionally considered as separate domains in psychology and cognitive neuroscience. However, theoretical and methodological advancements in the last two decades have paved the way for studying different types of interactions between spatial attention and multisensory integration. In the present thesis, two types of such interactions are investigated. In the first part of the thesis, the role of audiovisual synchrony as a source of bottom-up bias in visual selection was investigated. In six out of seven experiments, a variant

Abstract:
Visual attentional capture is a form of visual attentional selection that is automatic and involuntary in nature, and is of high adaptive value as it allows visual attention to be oriented in a reflexive manner towards visual information without necessarily being guided by pre-existing knowledge, goals, and plans. According to the load-hypothesis (Lavie & De Fockert, 2005), attentional capture of salient stimuli increases under load on working memory due to disruption of stimulus-processing priorities. Moreover, it has been proposed that maintenance of task-irrelevant verbal information in

A informação \"top-down\" baseia-se no conhecimento prévio e tem uma grande influência nas localizações atendidas.

Abstract:
Visual attention can be voluntarily focused on a location or automatically attracted by salient features in a visual scene. Studies using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) suggest two networks of visual attention involved in these complementary mechanisms: a dorsal frontoparietal network and a ventral frontoparietal network of visuospatial attention respectively. However, most studies so far have applied non‐natural schematic stimuli. The present study investigates visual attention in images of natural environmental scenes.

Following exposure to consistent stimulus–stop mappings, response inhibition can become automatised with practice.

This dissertation concerns itself with the problem of constructing multi asset class portfolios. The investment process is aimed at solving two problems. The first problem is estimating the future returns of individual securities, which is an exercise fraught with uncertainty as the future is fundamentally unpredictable. This uncertainty means that the investor must allocate his portfolio to a number of assets instead of just one, in case his predicted future returns do not materialize. This leads the investor to the second problem of how best to construct the portfolio. It is this part of the

Abstract:
The prevalent view in computer vision since Marr is that visual perception is a data-driven bottom-up process. In this view, image data is processed in a feed-forward fashion where a sequence of independent visual modules transforms simple low-level cues into more complex abstract perceptual units. Over the years, a variety of techniques has been developed using this paradigm. Yet an important realization is that low-level visual cues are generally so ambiguous that they could make purely bottom-up methods quite unsuccessful. These ambiguities cannot be resolved without taking account of high-

Abstract:
Democracy promotion is a key objective in both US and EU foreign development policy. The study attempts to provide a better understanding of both actors democracy promotion in Afghanistan. The US and the EU are perceived to have different approaches regarding democracy promotion. Therefor the study examines if US used top-down and EU bottom-up approaches respective coercive and persuasive methods. Approaches used by actors are examined in the study regarding democracy promotion in the case of Afghanistan. It is a case study with qualitative text analysis and the theories used are top-down and

There is strong scientific consensus on the evidence of anthropogenic climate change which will increasingly present social, economic and institutional challenges. The Fifth Assessment report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) established that ‘human influence on the climate system is clear’ and that ‘changes in many extreme weather and climate events have been observed since about 1950’ (IPCC 2014a). Associated impacts include sea level rise and increased likelihood of extreme weather worldwide such extreme rainfall, heat waves, hurricanes and tornados (IPCC 2014a;

Abstract:
Background: Although several neurophysiological models have been proposed for panic disorder with agoraphobia (PD/AG), there is limited evidence from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies on key neural networks in PD/AG. Fear conditioning has been proposed to represent a central pathway for the development and maintenance of this disorder; however, its neural substrates remain elusive. The present study aimed to investigate the neural correlates of fear conditioning in PD/AG patients. Method: The blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) response was measured using fMRI during a fear

Abstract:
Le travail présenté est une contribution au développement de dispositifs pour la nanoélectronique en associant les techniques de fabrication top-down et bottom-up. Notre choix s'est porté sur l'intégration de nano-objets (réseau 3D ou 2D ou bien objet unique) dans un dispositif à géométrique planaire composé de deux électrodes séparées par un intervalle nanométrique. Nous présentons tout d'abord les différents procédés technologiques (basé principalement sur la lithographie électronique) utilisés pour la fabrication de nanoélectrodes métalliques (or) ou métalliques magnétiques (cobalt) sur un

Abstract:
Bottom-up self-assembly can be used to create structures with sub-20 nm feature sizes or materials with advanced electrical properties. Here I demonstrate processes to enable such self-assembling systems including block copolymers and DNA origami, to be integrated into nanoelectronic devices. Additionally, I present a method which utilizes the high stability and electrical conductivity of graphene, which is a material formed using a bottom-up growth process, to create archival data storage devices. Specifically, I show a technique using block copolymer micelle lithography to fabricate arrays o
