The charge state dependence of M-shell x-ray production cross sections of 67HO bombarded by 2-12 MeV carbon ions with and without K-vacancies are reported. The experiment was performed using an NEC 9SDH-2 tandem accelerator at the Ion Beam Modification and Analysis Laboratory of the University of North Texas. The high charge state carbon ions were produced by a post-accelerator stripping gas cell. Ultra-clean holmium targets were used in ion-atom collision to generate M-shell x rays at energies from 1.05 to 1.58 keV. The x-ray measurements were made with a windowless Si(Li) x-ray detector that was calibrated using radiative sources, particle induced x-ray emission (PIXE), and the atomic field bremsstrahlung (AFB) techniques.

This study reports from an empirical study planned and executed about adopting agile methodologies in public organizations. This study involved a literature review and interviews with four software development teams from two public organizations - large and medium-sized - located in Brazil. Through this method, it was found that agile methodologies could be adopted in public organizations. First, the analysis suggests that a good alternative is to start the adoption of agile methodologies with people willing to change - strongly supported by senior management - working on important pilot-projects. Subsequently, the change will depend on their interaction with other teams, in order to reach the vast majority of the organization; then these people work for the establishment of a learning ecosystem and continuous improvement to not accommodate - consciously or unconsciously - with the first winnings and later with the comfort zone. Second, we found that the benefits of agile methodologies in public organizations are more about people's satisfaction with the result of the work done and how it was achieved. Third, we also found some barriers difficult to overcome in public organizations, including the ingrained use of plan-drive methods, habit of ?Big Design Up-Front? (BDUF) and lack of knowledge and experience in agile methodologies. Fourth, we see that agile methodologies is not perceived as a finished process that ends when a particular victory is achieved; on the contrary, it is something that takes place continuously and depends a set of people factors and the environment where it is inserted to achieve new and better results continuously. Finally, we note that the adoption of agile methodologies in public organizations is a way without return, where its practitioners also need to share their experiences and help each other. The main contribution of this research is the development of a set of recommendations for adopting agile methodologies in public organizations, and the systematization of the empirical evidence about this topic.
Nesta pesquisa, executou-se um estudo emp?rico sobre a ado??o de m?todos ?geis para desenvolvimento de software em organiza??es p?blicas. Este estudo incluiu a revis?o da literatura da ?rea e entrevistas com quatro equipes de desenvolvimento de software em duas organiza??es p?blicas de grande e m?dio porte no Brasil. Constatou-se que m?todos ?geis podem ser realmente adotados por organiza??es p?blicas. Em primeiro lugar, a an?lise de dados sugere que uma boa alternativa ? iniciar a ado??o de m?todos ?geis com pessoas dispostas a mudan?as fortemente apoiadas pela alta ger?ncia em projetos-piloto importantes. Posteriormente, a mudan?a depender? da amplia??o e intera??o com outras equipes visando alcan?ar a grande maioria da organiza??o; em seguida, essas pessoas trabalham pela constitui??o de um ecossistema de aprendizado e melhoria cont?nua para n?o se acomodar conscientemente ou inconscientemente com as primeiras conquistas e subsequentemente com a zona de conforto. Em segundo lugar, confirmou-se que os benef?cios da ado??o de m?todos ?geis em organiza??es p?blicas s?o mais sobre a satisfa??o das pessoas com o resultado do trabalho realizado e a forma como ele foi alcan?ado. Em terceiro lugar, identificou-se algumas barreiras dif?ceis de superar em organiza??es p?blicas, incluindo o uso arraigado de m?todos guiados por plano com a abordagem ?Big Design Up-Front? (BDUF), bem como a falta de conhecimento e experi?ncia em m?todos ?geis. Em quarto lugar, comprovou-se que m?todos ?geis n?o ? percebido como um processo acabado que se finaliza quando uma determinada conquista ? alcan?ada; pelo contr?rio, ele ? algo que se processa de maneira cont?nua e depende de um conjunto de fatores ligados as pessoas e ao ambiente onde ele est? inserido para alcan?ar novos e melhores resultados continuamente. Por ?ltimo, constatou-se que m?todos ?geis em organiza??es p?blicas ? um caminho sem retorno, onde seus praticantes precisam compartilhar suas experi?ncias e ajudar uns aos outros. Esta pesquisa contribui principalmente no sentido de propor um conjunto de recomenda??es para a ado??o de m?todos ?geis em organiza??es p?blicas, al?m da forma??o e amplia??o da base te?rica sobre o tema.

Resumo de Limita??o no Suporte de vida Objetivo: Avaliar a incid?ncia de limita??o de suporte de vida (LSV) e as condutas m?dicas nas ?ltimas 48 horas de vida de crian?as internados em 7 UTIP de 3 regi?es brasileiras. Desenho: Estudo transversal, multic?ntrico e retrospectivo por revis?o de prontu?rio. Local (setting): 7 UTIP de hospitais universit?rios e terci?rios localizados em 3 regi?es Brasileiras, em Porto Alegre (2), S?o Paulo (2) e Salvador(3) Pacientes: todos pacientes que faleceram nas 7 UTIP no per?odo entre Janeiro de 2003 e dezembro de 2004. M?todos e principais resultados: Dois residentes de cada servi?o preencheram um protocolo padr?o com dados demogr?ficos, classificando o ?bito (reanima??o completa, ordem de n?o reanimar ou retirada de tratamento) e as condutas tomadas nas ?ltimas 48 horas de vida. Os dados foram comparados utilizando teste t de Student, Anova, Qui quadrado e RR. Dos 561 ?bitos, foram exclu?dos 36 com menos de 24 horas de interna??o, 61 com morte encef?lica e 36 prontu?rios n?o localizados. Em 56,5% dos ?bitos foram oferecidas manobras de ressuscita??o cardiopulmonar, com diferen?a entre regi?o sudeste e nordeste (p<0,001). A maior faixa et?ria (p=0,025) e maior tempo de interna??o na UTIP (p=0,001) foram fatores associados a n?o reanima??o. Em apenas 52,7% dos pacientes com LSV houve descri??o de plano no prontu?rio. O ?bito sem suporte respirat?rio ocorreu em apenas 14 pacientes. Em 66,1% pacientes com ordem de n?o reanimar as drogas inotr?picas foram mantidas ou aumentadas. Conclus?o: A incid?ncia de LSV tem aumentado nas UTIP brasileiras, havendo diferen?as entre regi?es. A ordem de n?o reanima??o ainda ? a pratica mais em nosso meio, havendo t?midas iniciativas de retirada de suporte. Resumo de Morte encef?lica Objetivo: Avaliar a incid?ncia de Morte Encef?lica (ME) bem como as condutas e protocolos adotados ap?s esta confirma??o diagn?stica em 7 UTIP localizadas em 3 regi?es Brasileiras. M?todo: Estudo transversal e multic?ntrico baseado na revis?o e an?lise retrospectiva de prontu?rios de todos os ?bitos ocorridos entre janeiro de 2003 e dezembro de 2004 em 7 UTIP localizadas em Porto Alegre (2), S?o Paulo (2) e Salvador (3). Dois residentes de cada servi?o previamente treinados preencheram protocolo padronizado avaliando dados demogr?ficos, a causa do ?bito, crit?rios para diagnostico de ME e a conduta m?dica adotada. Resultados: Identificamos 525 ?bitos, sendo 61 (11,6%) com diagn?stico de ME. A incid?ncia de ME diferiu entre as 7 UTIP (24,2% a 4,5%; p=0,015), por?m, sem diferen?a nas 3 regi?es (12% x 15% x 7%; p=0,052). A causa mais freq?ente foi Hemorragia Intracraniana (31,1%). Em 80% dos casos o diagnostico clinico de ME foi confirmado por exame complementar (100% na regi?o sul, 68% na sudeste e 72% na nordeste, p=0,02). A retirada de suporte vital ap?s diagnostico de ME diferiu nas 3 regi?es, sendo mais r?pida (p=0,04) no sul (1,8 ?1,9 hs) que no Sudeste (28,6 ?43,2hs) e Nordeste (15,5 ?17,1hs). Apenas 6 (9,8%) crian?as com ME foram doadoras de ?rg?os. Conclus?o: Apesar da lei que define crit?rios para Morte Encef?lica existir no Brasil desde 1997, verificamos que ela n?o ? obedecida uniformemente. Consequentemente, suporte vital desnecess?rio ? ofertado a indiv?duos j? mortos, existindo ainda um modesto envolvimento das UTIP com doa??es de ?rg?os

Aristotle's definition of tragedy indicates a metaphysical project insinuated by a notion of k?tharsis. The reconstruction of Aristotle's method of definition is inspired in the concepts of en?rgeia and d?namis taken from Physics, understanding cause as substance. The Doctrine of the Four Causes is the theoretical basis of the definition of tragedy, placing tragedy in the genre of imitation and distinguishing its species: language (material cause), noble and complete action (formal cause), actors (efficient cause) and k?tharsis (temporarily identified with the final cause). Nevertheless, there is no final cause in the definition of tragedy. The k?tharsis of passions is experienced by the spectator when he witnesses tragedy, which is the imitation of a noble action, executed by actors and not narrated. Aristotle justifies hid proposition in favor of mimesis by assuming that imitation is natural to man since infancy and the view of objects allows whoever contemplates them to identify and learn the originals. As a metaphysical principle, k?tharsis is projected to beyond definition of tragedy, where it is manifested cathartically, in the spectator. Research about the spectator brings one back to the definition of tragedy, where the imitation is an imperfect copy which evokes in the spectator the presence of the originals of the imitated sentiments, thus realizing the k?tharsis of these emotions. In this way k?tharsis reveals itself as selfknowledge and approach of divine truth and perfections.
A defini??o de trag?dia na Po?tica aponta para um projeto metaf?sico insinuado pela no??o de k?tharsis. A reconstitui??o do m?todo de defini??o de Arist?teles inspira-se nos conceitos de en?rgeia e d?namis retirados da F?sica, entendendo causa como subst?ncia. A Doutrina das Quatro Causas ? o referencial te?rico que orienta a defini??o de trag?dia, enquadrando-a no g?nero da imita??o e dividindo-lhes as esp?cies: linguagem (causa material), a??o nobre e completa (causa formal), atores (causa eficiente) e k?tharsis (temporariamente identificada como causa final). Entretanto, n?o h? causa final na defini??o de trag?dia. A k?tharsis das paix?es processa-se no espectador ao assistir ? trag?dia que ? a imita??o de uma a??o nobre, executada pelos atores e n?o narrada. Arist?teles justificou sua proposi??o em favor da m?mese ao assumir que "imitar ? natural ao homem desde a inf?ncia e a vista das imagens proporciona a quem as contempla aprender e identificar cada original". Como princ?pio metaf?sico, K?tharsis se projeta para fora da defini??o de trag?dia, onde realiza-se a manifesta??o cat?rtica, no espectador. A pesquisa em torno do espectador retorna para a defini??o de trag?dia, onde a imita??o ? c?pia imperfeita que evoca no espectador a presen?a dos originais daqueles sentimentos imitados, realizando assim, a k?tharsis dessas emo??es. K?tharsis revela-se ent?o, como auto-conhecimento e aproxima??o das verdades e perfei??es divinas

The term body without organs is present in a poem by the french writer, actor and director Antonin Artaud, written in 1947 and titled: To Have Done with the Judgement of God. I aim, in this work, from what we call investigative scenic writing, to problematize this term and its possible relations with the theater and also with some aspects of the Hindu myths. I unite the idea of the body without organs with the body in trance present in the stories of an Indian master named Caitanya Mahaprabhu. These ideas, along with the development of practices that come from some principles of Theatre Anthropology, are incentives for a creation process that highlights the work of preparation and creation of corporeal work of the actor. The relationship between the concepts and the practice raise discussions about where I stand as an actor-researcher in process

Lo scopo della presenta ricerca è analizzare il ruolo del sistema di ricompensa in relazione al costrutto BIS/BAS (Behavioural Inhibition System/ Behavioural Activation System) in un contesto sano e di dipendenza da sostanza. Il lavoro ha inoltre esplorato l'asimmetria cerebrale frontale nelle scelte decisionali che implicano stimoli di ricompensa e condizioni punizione. I risultati hanno confermato l'ipotesi di un anomalia del sistema di ricompensa in individui con alto BAS e in pazienti con dipendenza da sostanza, che sovrastimavano la ricompensa immediata a scapito di quella a lungo termine durante l’Iowa Gambling Task. Un’altra componente cruciale emersa da questo progetto è una iper-attivazione del lobo frontale di sinistra rispetto a quello di destra in risposta alle opzioni più rischiose. Questo "effetto di sbilanciamento inter-emisferico” potrebbe essere considerato come un indicatore critico del comportamento decisionale disfunzionale nella dipendenza o come fattore di vulnerabilità allo sviluppo di dipendenze. Infine, questo "modello di squilibrio corticale" è stato applicato ad altre forme di dipendenza comportamentale, misurate con l’Internet Addiction Test (IAT). In effetti, un aumento dell'attività frontale di sinistra è stata osservata per gli individui ad alto IAT in risposta a stimoli premianti. In particolare, i risultati ottenuti sottolineano l'importanza di un modello integrato di dipendenza che tiene conto del sistema motivazionale (BIS/BAS) correlato alla lateralizzazione dell'attività corticale.
The aim of this PhD research was intended to analyze the role of the reward system by the BIS/BAS (Behavioural Inhibition System/ Behavioural Activation System) construct in healthy and addiction context. It explored the frontal brain asymmetry in decisional choices implying reward stimuli and punishment conditions. Results confirmed the hypothesis of a “reward bias” induced by high-BAS individuals and patients suffering from Substance Use Disorder (SUD) to overestimate the immediate reward to the detriment of the delayed reward during the Iowa Gambling Task. Another critical component is the frontal left-hyper activation of the brain in response to more risky options. This "inter-hemisphere" unbalancing effect can be considered as a critical indicator of the dysfunctional decision behavior in dependence or as a vulnerability factor to the development of addiction. Finally, this “cortical imbalance model” was applied to other forms of behavioural addiction, measured by the Internet Addiction Test (IAT). Indeed, an increased left frontal activity was observed for high-IAT individuals in response to rewarding stimuli. In particular, the results underlined the importance of an integrated model of addiction that takes into account the motivational system (BIS / BAS) related to the lateralization of cortical activity.

La thèse suivante traite du Théorème Central Limite pour des champs de variables aléatoires dépendantes et de son application à l’estimation non-paramétrique. Dans une première partie, nous établissons des théorèmes centraux limite quenched pour des champs satisfaisant une condition projective à la Hannan (1973). Les versions fonctionnelles de ces théorèmes sont également considérées. Dans une seconde partie, nous établissons la normalité asymptotique d’estimateurs à noyau de la densité et de la régression pour des champs fortement mélangeants au sens de Rosenblatt (1956) ou bien des champs faiblement dépendants au sens de Wu (2005). Dans un premier temps, nous établissons les résultats pour l’estimateur à noyau de la régression introduit par Elizbar Nadaraya (1964) et Geoffrey Watson (1964). Puis, dans un second temps, nous étendons ces résultats à une large classe d’estimateurs récursifs introduite par Peter Hall et Prakash Patil (1994)
This thesis deals with the central limit theorem for dependent random fields and its applications to nonparametric statistics. In the first part, we establish some quenched central limit theorems for random fields satisfying a projective condition à la Hannan (1973). Functional versions of these theorems are also considered. In the second part, we prove the asymptotic normality of kernel density and regression estimators for strongly mixing random fields in the sense of Rosenblatt (1956) and for weakly dependent random fields in the sense of Wu (2005). First, we establish the result for the kernel regression estimator introduced by Elizbar Nadaraya (1964) and Geoffrey Watson (1964). Then, we extend these results to a large class of recursive estimators defined by Peter Hall and Prakash Patil (1994)

The measure of chemiluminescence from the transition of the hydroxyl radical from its electronically excited state (A^2 Sigma^positive) to its ground state (X^2 Pi) is used in many combustion applications for diagnostic purposes due to the non-intrusive nature of the chemiluminescence measurement. The presence of the ultraviolet emission at 307nm is often used as an indicator of the flame zone in practical combustion systems, and its intensity may be correlated to the temperature distribution or other parameters of interest. To date, the measurement of the excited state OH, OH*, is mostly qualitative. With the use of an accurate chemical kinetics model, however, it is possible to obtain quantitative measurements. Shock-tube experiments have been performed in highly diluted mixtures of H2/O2/Ar at a wide range of pressures to evaluate the pressure-dependent rate coefficient of the title reaction. In such mixtures the main contributing reaction to the formation of OH* is, O H M = OH* M. R1 Previous work has determined the reaction rate of R1 at atmospheric conditions and accurately predicts the amount of OH* experimentally produced. At elevated pressures up to 15 atm, which are of interest to the gas turbine community, the currently used reaction rate of R1 (i.e., without any pressure dependence) significantly over predicts the amount of OH* formed. This work provides the pressure dependence of R1. The new reaction rate is able to reproduce the experimental data over the range of conditions studied and enables quantitative measurements applicable to practical combustion environments.

In general, any nested loop can be parallelized due to dependence constraints among iterations can be preserved through synchronization. Synchronization mechanisms can be combined with loop scheduling scheme to form a uniform framework. Meanwhile, correct execution order and balance workload distribution will be achieved. In this thesis, we propose a new scheduling scheme, called M-hopping method, to schedule non-uniform dependence doubly nested loop on multiprocessor system. To initialize a set of hopping information, our approach is based on the concept of minimum dependence distance. During runtime, hopping information will be used to adjust the number of parallelizable iterations. According to our experimental results, if loops carry sufficient parallelism, our propose method will reliably exploit parallelism, and outperform most of the existing non-uniform dependence loop scheduling schemes by 20.29% in average.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between resource dependence on equipment suppliers and a firm’s profitability. This study uses M company as a single-case study to analyze the primary data from interviewing the participants with research questions during the period from 2016 to 2017. Based on the results and findings, this study proposes three propositions, as follows: 1. Resource dependence on equipment suppliers has a positive effect on a firm’s profitability.; 2. Production capacity adjustment positively moderates the relationship between resource dependence on equipment suppliers and a firm’s profitability.; 3. New customers co-development with equipment suppliers positively moderates the relationship between resource dependence on equipment suppliers and a firm’s profitability.

Title: Robust Monitoring Procedures for Dependent Data Author: Ondřej Chochola Department: Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Marie Hušková, DrSc. Supervisor's e-mail address: huskova@karlin.mff.cuni.cz Abstract: In the thesis we focus on sequential monitoring procedures. We extend some known results towards more robust methods. The robustness of the procedures with respect to outliers and heavy-tailed observations is introduced via use of M-estimation instead of classical least squares estimation. Another extension is towards dependent and multivariate data. It is assumed that the observations are weakly dependent, more specifically they fulfil strong mixing condition. For several models, the appropriate test statistics are proposed and their asymptotic properties are studied both under the null hypothesis of no change as well as under the alternatives, in order to derive proper critical values and show consistency of the tests. We also introduce retrospective change-point procedures, that allow one to verify in a robust way the stability of the historical data, which is needed for the sequential monitoring. Finite sample properties of the tests need to be also examined. This is done in a simulation study and by application on some real data in the capital asset...

With the deepening of economic globalization and the improvement of the trade structure mode, China has gradually become a global trade power, enjoying increasing space for the development of its foreign trade enterprises. However, under the comprehensive influences by external factors, China's foreign trade enterprises are faced with huge pressure to survive. Foreign trade enterprises in the new situation must continue to carry out strategic transformation in order to survive and develop. However, in the dynamic environment, the traditional enterprise strategic transformation is faced with serious path dependence, which leads to obvious inertia, which seriously hinders enterprise strategic transformation implementation and even leads to transformation failure. Existing studies only focus on enterprise strategic transformation, whereas this thesis discusses the inertial factors that hinder enterprise strategic transformation implementation from the perspective of path dependence. In other words, this thesis incorporates the theory of path dependence into the theory of strategic transformation, and probes into enterprise strategic transformation from the perspective of path dependence. Proceeding from theory and demonstration and with Jiangsu High Hope Group as the research object, this thesis studies the path dependence factors that hinder Jiangsu High Hope Group's strategic transformation implementation. Relevant suggestions on addressing path dependence barriers to the case company's strategic transformation are put forward from five aspects, namely, enterprise structure, enterprise employees, enterprise core competencies, enterprise culture and external environment, in view of the fact that the case company’s path dependence hinders its strategic transformation implementation.
Com o aprofundamento da globalização económica e a melhoria do modo de estrutura comercial, gradualmente, a China tornou-se em uma potência comercial no mundo, desfrutando de um espaço cada vez maior para o desenvolvimento de empresas de comércio exterior (ECE). No entanto, sob as influências abrangentes de fatores externos, as ECE da China enfrentam uma pressão enorme para sobreviver. Na situação nova, as ECE devem continuar a realizar a transformação estratégica (TE) para sobreviver e se desenvolver. Entretanto, no ambiente dinâmico, a TE da empresa tradicional é confrontada com uma séria dependência de trajetória (DT), o que leva à inércia óbvia, o que prejudica seriamente a implementação da TE da empresa, até leva ao fracasso da transformação. Os estudos existentes concentram-se apenas na TE da empresa, enquanto esta tese discute os fatores de inércia que impedem a implementação da TE na empresa a partir da perspetiva da DT, ou seja, esta tese incorpora a teoria da DT na teoria da TE e investiga a TE da empresa a partir da perspetiva da DT. Partindo da teoria e da investigação empírica e tendo como objeto de pesquisa o Grupo Jiangsu High Hope, esta tese estuda os fatores de DT que impedem a implementação da TE do Grupo. As conclusões mais relevantes sobre como lidar com barreiras de DT para a TE da empresa em causa são apresentadas em cinco vertentes, nomeadamente, a estrutura empresarial, os colaboradores de topo de empresa, competências essenciais da empresa, cultura empresarial e o ambiente externo. Este caso lustra bem em como a DT da empresa constitui dificuldade de implementação da TE.

Thesis title: Flexibility, Robustness and Discontinuity in Nonparametric Regression Approaches Author: Mgr. Matúš Maciak, M.Sc. Department: Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics, Charles University in Prague Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Marie Hušková, DrSc. huskova@karlin.mff.cuni.cz Abstract: In this thesis we focus on local polynomial estimation approaches of an unknown regression function while taking into account also some robust issues like a presence of outlying observa- tions or heavy-tailed distributions of random errors as well. We will discuss the most common method used for such settings, so called local polynomial M-smoothers and we will present the main statistical properties and asymptotic inference for this method. The M-smoothers method is especially suitable for such cases because of its natural robust flavour, which can nicely deal with outliers as well as heavy-tailed distributed random errors. Another important quality we will focus in this thesis on is a discontinuity issue where we allow for sudden changes (discontinuity points) in the unknown regression function or its derivatives respectively. We will propose a discontinuity model with different variability structures for both independent and dependent random errors while the discontinuity points will be treated in a...

Independent colleges, as transitional form of higher education and spin off organizations in the Chinese context, are inseparable from the dependence on the resources of parent organizations. Meanwhile, independent colleges' dual role comes from considering not only the public good nature of education but also the for profit of investment returns. In view of the dual role feature and heavy dependence on external resources, this study endeavors to define the organizational capability of independent colleges and how it is formed and developed. From the perspective of the paradox lens and taken Xinhua College as research object, this study analyzes the capability building process of spin off organizations and their innovative pattern. The findings are : (1) The process of organizational capability building of independent colleges can be revealed through the dynamic interactive pattern of internal replication and internal innovation. (2) The evolutionary path of the independent colleges' organizational capability is a cyclic construction process with three stages, namely , "fr om external to internal", "capability retention" and "from internal to external". (3) Affected by environmental pressures and opportunities, independent colleges explore balances between public welfare and commercial behaviors. Meanwhile, under the joint promotion of environmental cognition and paradox balance system, independent colleges build the internal innovation capability and complete the cyclical construction of organizational capabilities. The main contributions are: (1) It explores the organizational capabilities of independent colleges in China and deepens the research on organizational capabilities of independent colleges; (2) After exploring the evolutionary process of organizational capabilities of independent college s , this study concludes propositions on the evolution of organizational capability process; (3) It explores the interaction pattern between the paradox balance system and the organization’s dual formation role of organizational capabilities. (4) It reveals the innovation pattern which promotes the innovative motivation of spin off organizations.
