Wyllie, Martin. "Merleau-Ponty and melancholia : the practical application of Merleau Ponty's 'body-subject' in establishing a description of the temporal aspect of melancholic suffering." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2003. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.274850.
Full textAbstract:
In this phenomenological study I concentrate primarily on three component features of melancholia, namely: temporality, suffering and how both these features as a result of our condition as embodied subject’s as already engaged in the world. In undertaking this I will use the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty as developed in his book the ‘Phenomenology of Perception’ (1962). The conceptual framework used in this study is developed upon the premise that the correct subject of psychopathology is the ‘person’ characterised as an active agent within a world-context. By adopting the perspective of an embodied subject (body-subject) in the world, derived from Merleau-Ponty’s concept of the embodied subject, one can eliminate some of the intellectual confusion relating to certain philosophical distinctions, generally, and, of more relevance for this study, to psychiatric diagnostic categories specifically. The argument is that the body, in terms of anatomy and physiology, is always intertwined with both the subject’s intentionality, that same subject’s bodily intentionality and the world. The physical structure of the embodied subject lays the foundation for our way of being-in-the-world. Being-in-the-world is characterised as relational and dialectic in that one’s relationship with the world changes both the world and the embodied subject in ways which either promote or hinder health, illness and/or suffering. An important part of my argument is that human suffering occurs as a result of agency and/or illness and that suffering is inseparable from one’s personal perspective and the world-context that influences one’s personal perspective. The concept of suffering, developed in this study, challenges an ideological tenet of the traditional medical model: namely, that there is objective knowledge, knowable apart from subjective experience. The concept of suffering, developed herein, places tension on this tenet, and if this tenet is preserved as inviolable then it follows that the prevailing reductionist medical model has little to say about suffering.

Nowadays, electronic systems are more and more complex, not only because of the integration density but also because of the use of “more than Moore” components. Design methodologies of such mixed signal and RF systems need to gain in flexibility in order to reduce verification and design time, spin numbers and so, the time-to-market. Our solution, based on a unified EDA platform, consists in finding the best trade-off, for each design step, between model accuracy and simulation time. This enables us to see the impact of some critical low-level blocks on complete system performance. Moreover, early detection of eventual errors during the design cycle increases the chances to obtain a first-time-right design. In order to illustrate he different levels of the V diagram design flow, we applied our method to the design of a Bluetooth transceiver with a stress on the architectural exploration, functional prototyping and behavioral modeling steps. Finally, the validation of a Entropic Communications satellite receiver shows the reuse capabilities of our Models and demonstrates the interest of our approach<br>Depuis quelques années, la complexité des systèmes électroniques croit à un rythme important, incluant une nouvelle problématique appelée « more than moore ». La recherche d'une stratégie de conception – validation flexible doit permettre une réduction des coûts de production, une minimisation des erreurs et une réduction du « time-to-market ». Dans ce contexte, la thèse présentée dans ce mémoire s'inscrit comme une contribution à la problématique actuelle d'aide à la conception et vérification de ces systèmes hétérogènes. En se basant sur un état de l'art de la conception passée et actuelle des systèmes numériques et analogiques avec les étapes des flots de conception, les outils de simulation et les langages permettant de modéliser ces systèmes, nous avons ainsi recherché les meilleurs triptyques : outils de simulation, langages de modélisation, niveaux d'abstraction. Validée sur une application Bluetooth, une méthodologie de conception optimisée a été présentée avec les étapes clés d'un projet : exploration d'architecture, découpage fonctionnel, modélisation comportementale du niveau système au niveau circuit. Nous avons pu simuler certaines spécifications à différents niveaux hiérarchiques, en réalisant à chaque fois le meilleur compromis entre la précision de la modélisation et le temps de simulation. La recherche de « reuse » pour optimiser le temps de développement impose aux concepteurs une écriture de modèles génériques, précis et un langage couvrant un maximum de domaines. Une étude des techniques de modélisation a donc été menée afin de répondre aux besoins de modélisations actuels et futurs avec leurs avantages et leurs limitations. Enfin, une méthodologie de validation a été développée et a rendu possible la vérification d'un circuit mixte et RF de la société Entropic Communications avec des temps de simulation rapides et un niveau de précision très proche de la réalité des mesures

Kabak, Yildiray. "Semantic Interoperability Of The Un/cefact Ccts Based Electronic Business Document Standards." Phd thesis, METU, 2009. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12610689/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
The interoperability of the electronic documents exchanged in eBusiness
applications is an
important problem in industry. Currently, this problem is handled by
the mapping experts who understand the meaning of every element in the involved
document schemas and define the mappings among them which is a very costly and tedious process.
In order to improve electronic document interoperability,
the UN/CEFACT produced the Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS)
which defines a common structure and semantic properties for document artifacts.
However, at present, this document content information is available only through text-based search mechanisms and tools.
In this thesis, the semantics of CCTS based business document
standards is explicated
through a formal, machine processable language as an ontology.
In this way, it becomes possible to compute a harmonized
ontology, which gives
the similarities among document schema ontology classes of different document standards
through both the semantic properties they share and the semantic equivalences established
through reasoning. However, as expected, the harmonized
ontology only helps discovering the similarities of structurally and semantically equivalent elements.
In order to handle the structurally different but semantically similar document artifacts, heuristic rules are
developed describing the possible ways of organizing simple document artifacts
into compound artifacts as defined in the CCTS methodology.
Finally, the equivalences discovered among document schema ontologies
are used for the semi-automated generation of XSLT definitions
for the translation of real-life document instances.

The language is described following a synchronic perspective, but is also partly based on diachronic studies of neighbouring villages and valleys, and mainly on a corpus analysis. The thesis also describes the sociolinguistic profile of Usseaux’s speech community, leading to some thoughts about linguistic diversity, endangered languages and fieldwork. It also presents a phonological sketch, as well as a chapter on the written form of the language. The main issue of the thesis is to show that this language, which is located at the periphery of a linguistic area, is undeniably a variety of Occitan, but shows many common traits with the oïl language and with Francoprovençal as compared with more ‘central’ varieties of Occitan like Provençal and Languedocian

Previous issue date: 2016-05-06<br>A diversidade na produção de informações oriundas de instituições públicas e privadas proporciona desafios diários para a arquivística, os quais se referem a maneira pela qual a área irá possibilitar o acesso, a recuperação e a reutilização das informações. Neste contexto dinâmico, fazer uso de instrumentos que colaborem com o processo de gestão da informação torna-se primordial. Além dos instrumentos tradicionalmente utilizados pela arquivística, tais como a descrição e a classificação arquivística, faz-se necessário a adoção de instrumentos que possam complementá-los, agregando precisão ao conjunto de descritores utilizados nos processos de representação da informação. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa, estabelece discussões que visam a aproximar os instrumentos tradicionais da arquivística dos vocabulários controlados. Entende-se que esses instrumentos atuam como mediadores entre a representação e a recuperação da informação. Objetivou-se, portanto, analisar a norma de descrição arquivística ISAAR (CPF) que trata da descrição de registro de autoridade arquivística para entidades coletivas, pessoas e famílias, em conjunto com a norma ISO 25964-2011 que trata da elaboração de vocabulários controlados. Dessa forma, propôs-se verificar a interface entre os vocabulários controlados e a norma de descrição ISAAR (CPF), considerando-se que suas confluências podem melhorar o processo de representação e recuperação da informação. Para tanto, utilizaram-se os seguintes procedimentos metodológicos, revisão de literatura sobre a temática proposta nas bases de dados brasileiras (BRAPCI, Scielo) e bases de dados internacionais (Scopus, LISTA), bibliotecas de teses e dissertações digitais (BDTD) e anais de congresso (ENANCIB). Foram utilizadas também as normas ANSI/NIZO Z39.19-2005 (R2010) e a ISO 25964-2011 para o desenvolvimento dos componentes normativos dos vocabulários controlados. Em relação aos componentes teóricos da arquivística, a pesquisa desenvolveu-se tendo como parâmetro a norma de descrição ISAAR (CPF). Após a construção do referencial teórico da pesquisa, analisou-se conjuntamente a norma ISO 25964-2011 e a norma de descrição ISAAR (CPF) para que fosse possível fazer uma proposta visando uma proposta para vocabulários controlados específicos para arquivos. Os resultados obtidos com o desenvolvimento dessa pesquisa apontam a necessidade de aproximação entre a arquivística e os vocabulários controlados, instrumentos ainda pouco utilizados pela área, mas que por meio de seus elementos podem ajudar em relação a melhoria da representação da informação arquivística.<br>The diversity in the production of information from public and private institutions provide daily challenges for archiving, which refer to how the area will provide access, recovery and reuse of information. In this dynamic context, make use of instruments to collaborate with the information management process becomes paramount. In addition to the instruments traditionally used for archiving, such as the description and the archival classification, it is necessary to adopt tools that can complement them, adding precision to the set of descriptors used in the representation of information processes. In this sense, this research establishes discussions aimed at bringing the traditional instruments of archival of controlled vocabularies. It is understood that these instruments act as mediators between the representation and retrieval of information. In this sense, this research establishes discussions aimed at bringing the traditional instruments of archival of controlled vocabularies. It is understood that these instruments act as mediators between the representation and retrieval of information. The objective is therefore to this research, collaborate with the studies on the development of specific vocabularies for files because it was observed that there is still a shortfall in relation to the theme proposed under archival. In addition, it also aimed to analyze the standard of archival description ISAAR (CPF) which deals with the archival authority record description for corporate bodies, persons and families, together with the ISO 25964-2011 standard that deals with the development of controlled vocabularies. Therefore, the following methodological procedures are used, literature review on the proposed theme in Brazilian databases (BRAPCI, Scielo) and international databases (Scopus, LIST), theses and digital dissertations libraries (BDTD) and anal congress (ENANCIB). They were also used ANSI / NIZO Z39.19-2005 standards (R2010) and ISO 25964-2011 for the development of the theoretical components of controlled vocabularies. Regarding the theoretical components of archival, research developed having as parameter the standard ISAAR description (CPF). After the construction of the theoretical framework of the research, analyzed jointly ISO 25964-2011 standard and the standard of ISAAR description (CPF) to make it possible to make a proposal for the development of specific controlled vocabularies for files. The results obtained with the development of this research indicate the need for closer ties between the archival and controlled vocabularies, instruments still little used by the area, but through its standard-setting elements can help towards improving the representation of archival information.

Full textAbstract:
The present work deals with Description Logics (DLs), a class of knowledge representation formalisms used to represent and reason about classes of individuals and relations between such classes in a formally well-defined way. We provide novel results in three main directions. (1) Tractable reasoning revisited: in the 1990s, DL research has largely answered the question for practically relevant yet tractable DL formalisms in the negative. Due to novel application domains, especially the Life Sciences, and a surprising tractability result by Baader, we have re-visited this question, this time looking in a new direction: general terminologies (TBoxes) and extensions thereof defined over the DL EL and extensions thereof. As main positive result, we devise EL++(D)-CBoxes as a tractable DL formalism with optimal expressivity in the sense that every additional standard DL constructor, every extension of the TBox formalism, or every more powerful concrete domain, makes reasoning intractable. (2) Non-standard inferences for knowledge maintenance: non-standard inferences, such as matching, can support domain experts in maintaining DL knowledge bases in a structured and well-defined way. In order to extend their availability and promote their use, the present work extends the state of the art of non-standard inferences both w.r.t. theory and implementation. Our main results are implementations and performance evaluations of known matching algorithms for the DLs ALE and ALN, optimal non-deterministic polynomial time algorithms for matching under acyclic side conditions in ALN and sublanguages, and optimal algorithms for matching w.r.t. cyclic (and hybrid) EL-TBoxes. (3) Non-standard inferences over general concept inclusion (GCI) axioms: the utility of GCIs in modern DL knowledge bases and the relevance of non-standard inferences to knowledge maintenance naturally motivate the question for tractable DL formalism in which both can be provided. As main result, we propose hybrid EL-TBoxes as a solution to this hitherto open question.

Do they at all?In order to do so I have studied the history of the Principle of Provenance and what is to be its future – theregulation from the Swedish National Archives, RA-FS 2008:4. I have also read the referrel that was sent out toSwedish authorities, universities and other archival institutions. This to see how the referrel and the new ways ofarchival description was recieved, and also what was to be changed. To get a more extensive grip on the matter itwas necessary to read up on international standards on archival description, such as ISAD(G) and ISAAR(CPF),and standards for records management. How do they fit in to the activity-based archival description?

Neste estudo verificou a possibilidade, no contexto tecnológico digital, de como a relação dos padrões de descrição arquivísticos, representados por meio de metadados, estimulam a criação de ontologias leves com potencial uso no processamento e na interoperabilidade. Esta pesquisa justificou-se pela necessidade de interoperabilizar a informação digital, tanto para a difusão como para a preservação a longo prazo em sistemas de arquivo e na internet, e serviu para identificar a descrição arquivística como base para ontologias leves. A pesquisa utilizou método misto exploratório, comparativo e prospectivo. Com o método exploratório, nota-se que a descrição arquivística permite acesso a informação arquivística registrada e, conjuntamente ao vínculo arquivístico (Archival bond), é capaz de fornecer dados acerca do contexto de produção documental para sistemas de arquivo e para a Web 3.0. Para o estudo foram utilizados os padrões dos sistemas informatizados de arquivos, como o Sistema Informatizado de Gestão Arquivística de Documentos (SIGAD) e Modelo de Requisitos para Sistemas Informatizados de Gestão Arquivística de Documentos (e-ARQ), além dos Repositórios Digitais Confiáveis Arquivísticos (RDCArq) e o Modelo Record Continuum. Verificou-se que a confiança na cadeia de custódia e do contexto arquivístico podem garantir em longo prazo a confiabilidade do ambiente de guarda documental e a presunção de autenticidade. Relacionou-se a interoperabilidade com a organização da informação, a semântica e as ontologias. Com o método prospectivo concluiu-se que as ontologias têm seu papel na estruturação dos domínios de conhecimento e seu uso na tecnologia digital. Identificou-se as características das ontologias que podem resultar do uso de padrões arquivísticos e o resultado disso como uma Knowledge Organization System (KOS). Com o método comparativo, o estudo também relaciona os padrões arquivísticos e a descrição arquivística. Como achados, verificou-se que é possível a utilização de elementos de metadados para a estruturação de ontologia capaz de representar o contexto e a estrutura de arquivos, além de colaborar na disseminação da Informação arquivística, estruturando uma Ontologia Digital Arquivística. Assim, verificou-se que é possível a aplicação de ontologias para auxiliar na manutenção da cadeia de custódia e do contexto da informação arquivística e do documento arquivístico, além de seu uso na difusão e na preservação digital em longo prazo, tanto em sistemas de arquivo quanto na rede mundial de computadores.<br>This study analyzed the relationship of archival metadata description standards and the creation of ontologies for preserving archival information in operation systems and the Internet. This research is justified by the need to inter-operationalize digital information for broadcasting and preserving archival and Internet systems as well as identifying archival descriptions as a basis for ontologies. The research combined exploratory, comparative and prospective methodologies. Using an exploratory methodology, the author compared the Recordkeeping Systems, the Trusted Digital Repositories and systems developed by the model Record Continuum. The analysis verified that archival description permits access to archival information and that the archival bond is able to provide data about the documentary production context for file systems and Web 3.0. These findings suggest that confidence in the chain of custody and archival context can ensure long-term reliability of the document management environment. The study also evaluated the relationship between interoperability the organization of information in four of the most common global digital information structuring standards: International Standard Archival Description - General (ISAD-G), Brazilian Standard of Archival Description (NOBRADE), Encoded Archival Description (EAD), and Encoded Archival Context (EAC). These description elements enable informational professionals to build ontologies, which in combination with the context-focused EAC, facilitate the structuring of the archival bond as a Knowledge Organization System (KOS). The work concluded that ontologies have an essential role in the structuring of domain knowledge and its use in digital technology. Ontologies can follow the archival information in custody chain, mirror context and description information, and register archives as a domain knowledge, thereby creating a Archival Digital Ontology

MDL, an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) based language that describes a TmNS from various aspects, is embodied by an XML schema along with additional rules and constraints. Example MDL instance documents will be presented to illustrate how MDL can be used to capture requirements, describe the design, and configure the equipment that makes up a TmNS. Various scenarios for how MDL can be used will be discussed.

In the growing field of digital system design, there is a great need for design tools that will assist the engineer in developing large scale systems. AHPL, A Hardware Programming Language, is a hardware description language which allows a digital system to be described, evaluated, and analyzed. But like many design tools, AHPL cannot satisfy the multitude of design tool applications. In order to enhance the power of AHPL as a design tool, an EDIF translator is developed. The EDIF translator generates an EDIF netlist of an AHPL design, thus making it possible to port AHPL designs to other design tools.

We present a formalism describing neutrino oscillations in any application beyond
the Standard Model theory. Instead of using the standard pure states approach,
we apply the density matrix formalism. In general, in New Physics models,
neutrino states are no longer as pure as they are in the Standard Model. We discuss
the details of the appearance of a mixed state, following which possible New Physics
effects are taken at the levels of both the production and detection processes. We
present a number of examples of calculations with our formalism, using muons as
a source of neutrinos and different detection process. We also show the connection
between normal formulae, derived by assuming pure states, and proper results
based on the density matrix approach. The difference occurs at the second order
in parameters describing the departure from the Standard Model. Finally, as an
application of our formalism, we also demonstrate that it is possible to distinguish
Dirac and Majorana neutrinos in oscillations when New Physics scalar interactions
are present.

One of the major problems in using a hardware description language is interfacing with commercially available simulation and layout tools. Many commercial tools use the Electronic Design Interchange Format (EDIF) in order to communicate designs. This thesis describes the AHPL to EDIF Netlist Translator (AENT) program. By using AENT, a designer can write an AHPL description, verify the design with a function level simulator, and generate a CMOS standard cell layout using a commercial layout tool. A post layout gate level simulation can also be performed to verify timing constraints. Several layout examples are given in this thesis, and results are compared with the Berkeley Synthesis System.

Software engineering is normally perceived, and even defined, based upon applicability of scientific and technical knowledge, in order to provide solutions to different challenges. The bright side of engineering concepts in general, is the continuous process of acquiring knowledge and skills needed to develop and make adjustments to various systems, in respect to helping humankind. An important phase of this process is ”Architecting”, which is the big picture of any intended systems. While good architecture leads to successful systems, bad architecture can result in misfortune. In this thesis, my proposition is to investigate, in depth, both theoretical (academic) and industry domains, regarding the way in which they treat Software Pattern (SP), Software Architecture (SA), and Software Architecture Evaluation (SAE) techniques. I argue that the process of creating, evaluating, and documenting SPs and SA with no common guidelines, standards, and frameworks, will result in unused and conflicted information within their areas, which finally will impact the software engineering field. While the employment of interdisciplinary knowledge (such as SPs, modelling techniques, description languages, evaluation methods, standards, and frameworks), could elevate SA development and validation methodologies, and increase its utilisation within the software engineering community. The goal here is to help build better systems, which could be improved by developing suitable SA, and evaluate its qualities by proper methods and tools, before further development, which should save time as well as money. Therefore, after a long process of analysing the current-state-of-the-art, I have introduced in this thesis novel findings concerning descriptions, relationships, documentation, and utilisation in relation to SA, SAE, and SPs, through employing several investigatory techniques, including comparisons between reliable references, questionnaires, field study, and case study. The investigation of SPs resulted in creating a database as a partial solution, in order to minimise their confusion within the literature, concerning their definitions, categorisations, and relationships with different quality attributes Quality Attribute (QA)s; also, to introduce the information in a proper fashion for users, which includes the required data that supports comparisons between pattern references, and to facilitate their selection processes. The issues, gaps, limitations, inconsistencies, and conflicts within current SA, QAs, and SPs discovered by this study, such as their poor description and the ignorance of them by developers during software development, has led to important recommendations, as well as suggestions for future research. The required information from different sectors (government, academia and industry) regarding SPs, SA, SAE, and modelling languages, has been gathered, and analysed through two surveys and a field study. The strong relationships and influences between the aforementioned areas were introduced and proven by a case study analysis for the Real-time Control System Real-time Control System (RCS) reference architecture, followed by introducing a conceptual paradigm that aimed to improve and generalise the Moreno et al. [2008] performance model. The outcomes from this thesis provide the basis for future work. Also, the information from different interdisciplinary knowledge merged to form new concepts for SA evaluation, which are recommended for future study.

Ce memoire traite de l'implantation de blocs fonctionnels vlsi bases sur un catalogue de cellules standard. L'etude porte sur la description de la connectique et du placement d'une telle implantation, et sur leur routage automatique. Les specificites d'une implantation en cellules standard permettent l'elaboration d'un langage de description procedurale de la connectique et du placement. Ce langage offre la possibilite de decrire hierarchiquement la fonction d'un bloc et de preserver les regularites geometriques issues de regularites fonctionnelles. Il permet en outre l'introduction de contraintes portant sur la topologie du bloc produit par routage automatique, module qui impose en contrepartie certaines regles de conception au niveau des cellules du catalogue. Le routage automatique se compose d'une phase de routage global, chargee de la connexion des canaux situes entre chaque bande par leur franchissement, et d'une phase de routage local des canaux. Le routeur global reduit la surface de routage par un procede dichotomique en affectant efficacement les transparences des cellules aux equipotentielles, optimisation accrue par l'utilisation d'un deuxieme niveau vertical de routage. Le routeur local, base sur l'algorithyme de chan, autorise des connecteurs lateraux fixes aux canaux et route les connexions en un niveau horizontal et deux niveaux verticaux superposes. Ce systeme de description et de routage s'integre dans une methodologie de conception incluant compilation des cellules, simulation et verifications. Les resultats montrent la notion de conception incrementale de macro-cellules engendree par les possibilites de controle de la geometrie des blocs

The value of information often depends on how easy it can be found, retrieved, accessed, filtered and managed. This challenging situation demands a timely solution to the problem. MPEG-7 is the answer to this need. MPEG-7, formally named “Multimedia Content Description Interface”, is a standard for describing the multimedia content data that supports some degree of interpretation of the information’s meaning, which can be passed onto, or accessed by, a device or a computer code. The main objective of this project is to create low complicated, small size, more concrete system, which main features are finding, retrieval, access, filtration and management of broad range of pictures.

Full textAbstract:
<p> With only four years of mandated state-standards in adult basic education (ABE), very little is known about the influence of state-standards implementation on the unique learning needs of its adult students. Two decades of research on standards-based education in the U.S. K12 system has yielded widely debated results regarding the impact of state-standards on student achievement. Against this backdrop, state-standards implementation within the distinct context of Minnesota ABE was examined in this study, specifically the perceived influence of standards implementation on teacher practices and student engagement in cognitive rigor, as well as the teacher, site, and student characteristics reported to have either supported or challenged implementation. The basic qualitative design was utilized to collect and interpret the perceptions and experiences of its sample of 12 Minnesota ABE teachers from distinct instructional contexts with 12 or more hours of standards implementation training. Data triangulation was utilized for data collection, including an interview and two member checks. The inductive analysis procedure in concert with the constant comparative method was used to analyze the interviews and develop themes and deeper connections based on the theory of complex adaptive systems. The results of the study showed that, overall, participants reported modest changes in their teaching practices that they perceived to have increased their students’ engagement in cognitive rigor. Participants also reported modest changes in student demonstration of learning that indicated increased cognitive rigor. Findings indicated a minimal contrast to the inconclusive nature of the K12 research base in establishing a link between standards implementation and increased student achievement. Furthermore, the findings showed that state leaders should continue to offer robust training and support teacher collaboration. </p><p>

ITC/USA 2010 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Sixth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 25-28, 2010 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, California<br>A few years ago XidML was introduced as an open XML standard for capturing the meta-data associated with flight test instrumentation (FTI). This meta-data schema was broken down into elements for Parameter (name, range, units, offset-binary), Instrument (name, serial number, misses-to loss), Package (bits per word, words per minor-frame, rate) and Link (name, type) and so on. XidML remains one of the only published schema for FTI meta-data and with XidML 3.0 many simplifications have been introduced along with support for nested tree structures and a single instrument schema allowing anyone to define the validation for instruments from any vendor. This paper introduces the XidML schema and describers the benefits of XidML 3.0 in particular. It begins by giving a brief description of what XidML is and describes its history and motivation. The paper then outlines the main differences between XidML-3.0 and earlier versions, and how the XidML schema has been further refined to meet the challenges faced by the FTI community. As an example of usage the FTIManager software developed at Eurocopter will be briefly presented in order to illustrate the XidML ability to describe a multi-vendor FTI configuration.

Full textAbstract:
Les dernières décennies ont vu l’émergence de formes architecturales non standard. Les concepteurs se retrouvent généralement démunis face à la complexité géométrique de ces objets, dont la fabrication rime souvent avec complication. De plus, les outils utilisés dissocient forme et fonctionnement structurel,ce qui complexifie le processus de décision pour ingénieurs et architectes. Ce mémoire prend un point de vue fondé sur la notion d’invariance par transformation géométrique et étudie plusieurs strategies de génération de formes naturellement constructibles pour remédier à ces manques. Trois contraintes constructives ont été identifiées et correspondent à trois contributions indépendantes de cette thèse.La répétition des noeuds d’assemblage est étudiée via les transformations par maillages parallèles. Ces dernières sont utilisées pour créer une généralisation des surfaces de révolution. On retrouve par là un paramétrage particulier des surfaces moulures de Monge avec une grande répétition d’éléments, et notamment de noeuds d’assemblage.Les réseaux de cyclides sont ensuite utilisés pour dessiner des formes parametrées par leurs lignes de courbures. Cela permet la couverture par panneaux plans ainsi que l’offset des éléments structurels sans excentricité. L’apport de cette thèse est l’implémentation de plusieurs améliorations, notamment l’introduction de plis à double courbure, un algorithme permettant de généraliser les réseaux de cyclides à des topologies quelconques, et la génération de surfaces généralisant les surfaces canal à partir de deux courbes rail et une courbe profil.Finalement, une méthode innovante inspirée de la géométrie descriptive permettant la génération de formes courbes couvertes par des quadrilatères plans est proposée. La méthode, baptisée méthode marionnette, réduit ce problème à un système linéaire, ce qui permet une manipulation de ces forms constructibles en temps réel. Une étude comparative montre que cette technique peut être utilisée pour paramétrer des problèmes d’optimisation de forme de coques sans perte de performance par rapport aux paramétrages utilisés de façon classique. L’intégration des contraintes de fabrication dans le processus d’optimisation structurelle ouvre de nouvelles possibilités d’applications, comme des résilles gauches et des coques plissées. La pertinence de ces nouvelles solutions est démontrée par de multiples études de cas<br>The last decades have seen the emergence of non-standard architectural shapes. Designers find often themselves helpless with the geometrical complexity of these objects. Furthermore, the available tools dissociate shape and structural behaviour, which adds another complication. This dissertation takes the point of view based on invariance under geometrical transformations, and studies several strategies for fabrication-aware shape modelling. Three technological constraints have been identified and correspond to three independent contributions of this thesis.The repetition of nodes is studied via transformations by parallelism. They are used to generalise surfaces of revolution. A special parametrisation of moulding surfaces is found with this method. The resulting structure has a high node congruence.Cyclidic nets are then used to model shapes parametrised by their lines of curvature. This guarantees meshing by planar panels and torsion-free beam layout. The contribution of this dissertation is the implementation of several improvements, like doubly-curved creases, a hole-filling strategy that allows the extension of cyclidic nets to complex topologies, and the generation of a generalisation of canal surfaces from two rail curves and one profile curves.Finally, an innovative method inspired by descriptive geometry is proposed to generate doubly-curved shapes covered with planar facets. The method, called marionette technique, reduces the problem to a linear problem, which can be solved in real-time. A comparative study shows that this technique can be used to parametrise shape optimisation of shell structures without loss of performance compared to usual modelling technique. The handling of fabrication constraints in shape optimisation opens new possibilities for its practical application, like gridshells or plated shell structures. The relevance of those solutions is demonstrated through multiple case-studies

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to describe the criteria that students reported using when selecting writing samples for an assessment portfolio. Specifically, the study involved content analysis of student responses to five prompts which asked the students to give selection criteria for writing samples in language arts portfolios prepared for assessment.
The population consisted of twelve eighth grade students in three urban middle schools. The students were in classes that were participating in the New Standards Portfolio Assessment Field Trial. In addition to the responses to prompts, students also submitted writing samples to be scored using New Standards rubrics. The writing samples were evaluated to determine if the students successfully selected pieces of their writing to provide evidence of standards attainment.
Through the analysis of the student responses to the prompts, two categories of selection criteria were noted. Public standards were the standards that corresponded with the criteria that were presented to the students through their use of New Standards performance standards, portfolio exhibit requirements, and entry slips. Personal standards were criteria that did not correspond to the published criteria presented to the students. Ten sub-categories were identified. These ten sub-categories became the instrument for analysis and tabulation of the students' reported criteria for selecting writing samples for their portfolios.
Findings indicated that students were willing to use the public standards and that they used them more frequently than personal standards in justifying selections for the assessment portfolio. However, student identification of appropriate criteria did not guarantee that the writing samples that the student submitted received scores that would indicate standards attainment.

Full textAbstract:
Search and retrieval of multimedia content from open platforms such as the Internet and IPTV platforms has long been found to be hugely inefficient. It has been noted that a major cause of such inefficient results is the improper labeling or incomplete description of multimedia content by its creators. The lack of adequate description of video content by the proper annotation of video content with the relevant metadata leads to poor search and retrieval yields. The creation of such metadata itself is a major problem as there are various metadata description standards which users could employ. On the other hand there are tools such as FFprobe that can retrieve important features of video that can be used in searching and retrieval. The combination of such tools and metadata description standards could be the solution to the metadata problem. The Multimedia Content Description Interface (MPEG-7) is an example of a metadata description standard. It has been adopted by TISPAN for the description of IPTV multimedia content. The MPEG-7 standard is rather complex, seeing as it has over 1200 global Descriptors and Description Schemes which a user would have to know in order to implement such technology. This complexity is a nuisance when we consider the existence of multitudes of amateur video producers. These multimedia content creators have no idea how to use the MPEG-7 standard to annotate their creations with metadata. Consequently, overloading of the IPTV platform with content that has not been annotated in a standardized manner occurs, making search and retrieval of the multimedia content (videos, in this instance) inefficient. Therefore, it was imperative to try and determine whether the use of the MPEG-7 standard could be made much easier by creating a tool that is MPEG-7 enabled which will allow for the annotation of video content by any user without concerning themselves about how to use the MPEG-7 standard. In attempting to develop a tool for metadata generation, it was incumbent for us to understand the issues associated with metadata generation for users wishing to create IPTV services. An extensive literature review on IPTV standardization was carried out to determine the issues associated with metadata generation for IPTV and their proposed solutions. An experimental research approach was taken in an attempt to figure out if our proposed solution to the lack of technical expertise by users about the MPEG-7 standard could be the final solution to the metadata generation problem. We developed a Multimedia Content Description and Management System (MCDMS) prototype which enabled us to describe video content by annotating it with 16 different metadata elements and storing the descriptions in XML MPEG-7 format. Incremental development and re-use oriented development were used during the development phase of this research. The MCDMS underwent functional testing; smoke testing of the individual system components and Big Bang integration testing for the combined components. Our results indicate that the more metadata is appended to a video as description the better it is to search for and retrieve. The MCDMS hides the complexity of MPEG-7 metadata creation from the users. With the effortless creation of MPEG-7 based metadata, it becomes easier to annotate videos. Consequently, search and retrieval of video content becomes more efficient. It is important to note that the description of multimedia content remains a complex feat. Even with the metadata elements laid out for users, there still exist other issues that affect metadata creation such as polysemy and the semantic gap. However, the provision of a tool that does the MPEG-7 standardizing behind the scenes for users when they upload a video makes the description of multimedia content in a standardized manner a much easier feat to achieve.

Full textAbstract:
Dissertation (DLitt)--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The dictionaries available in the Gabonese languages are all translation dictionaries biased towards
French and compiled by missionaries and colonial administrators. No proper monolingual dictionaries
exist in the Gabonese languages. There is therefore a need for monolingual dictionaries in the
Gabonese languages, particularly in Yipunu, one of the Bantu languages (B 43) spoken in the South of
Gabon. Yipunu is a regional vehicular language or a major or majority language. Yipunu is a
domestic language i.e spoken inside Bapunu communities or a mother tongue or first language and
Yipunu is also taught as subject in the national educational system.
As a response to this need, this dissertation proposes metalexicographic criteria for the compilation of a
standard descriptive monolingual dictionary with special reference to Yipunu. The proposed model
focuses primarily on the inclusion and the treatment of the standard variety of Yipunu and to a lesser
degree on the other varieties. Such a model is directed at a dictionary primarily dealing with the needs
of the average, educated members of the Yipunu speech community, the mother-tongue speakers, and
also designed for experienced and advanced learners of Yipunu and their teachers.
This study aims to point out how important standard descriptive monolingual dictionaries are in general
and specifically in the case of African Bantu languages. This study also aims to highlight the
importance for Gabonese lexicographers to adopt modern lexicographical principles in dictionary
compilation such as the user-driven dictionary and the corpus-based dictionary. This model, although
devised for Yipunu, will eventually serve as model for the design of standard descriptive dictionaries in
all Gabonese languages. This study provides information about the content and the structures of such a
dictionary and is structured as follows: Chapter 1 focuses on introducing and contextualising the research. It presents the linguistic situation
in Gabon with reference to the status of Yipunu. It also shows the importance and the relevance of the
research and gives the theoretical basis, methodology, hypotheses and objectives underlying the study.
Chapter 2 criticises the lexicographic works in Yipunu in order to improve the quality of future
Yipunu dictionaries and examines the major needs of Yipunu lexicography.
Chapter 3 envisages some aspects of the standardisation of Yipunu. It targets the discussion at the
level of the language analysis namely the phonology, the grammar, the dictionary and the orthography
of Yipunu.
Chapter 4 discusses the user perspective, which guides the dictionary compilation. It focuses on the
user profile, user typologies and dictionary functions. The intended dictionary has a multifunctional
character. Special attention is given to a pioneering survey of dictionary use among Gabonese students
and to the discussion of the teaching of dictionary use in Gabon.
Chapter 5 deals with the dictionary plan. Different aspects such as the style guide, the genuine
purpose, the dictionary basis, data collection, the data collection policy, data collection methods and the
corpus of the proposed dictionary are discussed
Chapter 6 elaborates on the macrostructure of the proposed dictionary. The dictionary gives priority to
a strict alphabetical macrostructure. Macrostructural elements, lemmatisation strategies, and types of
lemmas and articles to be included in the proposed dictionary are discussed.
Chapter 7 focuses on the microstructure of the proposed dictionary. The model suggests an obligatory
microstructure and an extended obligatory microstructure and discusses the variety of data to be
included in the articles of the proposed dictionary.
Chapter 8 deals with the outer text section and the guide structures of the proposed dictionary, which
includes front and back matter texts. Polyaccessibility, a system of cross-referencing, and lemmatic and
non-lemmatic addressings are characteristics of the proposed dictionary. Chapter 9 makes some concluding remarks by highlighting the focus point of each chapter of the
dissertation. It gives also some recommendations for the research.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die woordeboeke beskikbaar in die Gaboenese tale is almal vertalende woordeboeke gerig op Frans en
saamgestel deur sendelinge en koloniale administrateurs. Geen werklike eentalige woordeboeke
bestaan in die Gaboenese tale nie. Daar is gevolglik 'n behoefte aan eentalige woordeboeke in die
Gaboenese tale, veral in Jipoenoe, een van die Bantoetale (B 43) wat in die Suide van Gaboen gepraat
word. Jipoenoe is 'n streeksvoertaal of 'n hoof- of meerderheidstaal. Jipoenoe is 'n huistaal d.w.s. wat
binne Bapoenoegemeenskappe gepraat word of 'n moedertaal of eerste taal en Jipoenoe word ook as
vak in die nasionale opvoedingstelsel onderrig.
In reaksie op hierdie behoefte stel hierdie proefskrif metaleksikografiese kriteria voor vir die
samestelling van 'n standaard beskrywende eentalige woordeboek met spesiale verwysing na Jipoenoe.
Die voorgestelde model fokus primêr op die insluiting en behandeling van die standaardvariëteit van
Jipoenoe en in 'n mindere mate op die ander variëteite. Die model is gerig op 'n woordeboek wat
primêr aandag gee aan die behoeftes van die deursnee- opgevoede lede van die
Jipoenoespraakgemeenskap, die moedertaalsprekers, en wat ook ontwerp is vir kundige en gevorderde
leerders van Jipoenoe en hul onderwysers.
Die doel van hierdie studie is om aan te toon hoe belangrik standaard beskrywende eentalige
woordeboeke in die algemeen en spesifiek in die geval van die Bantoetale van Afrika is. Die doel van
hierdie studie is ook om die belangrikheid vir Gaboenese leksikograwe te belig om moderne
leksikografiese beginsels toe te pas in die samestelling van woordeboeke soos die gebruikersgedrewe
woordeboek en die korpusgebaseerde woordeboek. Hierdie model, alhoewel ontwerp vir Jipoenoe, sal
uiteindelik dien as model vir die opstel van standaard beskrywende woordeboeke vir al die Gaboenese
tale. Die studie verskaf inligting oor die inhoud en strukture van so 'n woordeboek en is soos volg
gestruktureer:
Hoofstuk 1 fokus op 'n inleiding tot en 'n kontekstualisering van die navorsing. Dit beskryf die
taalkundige toestand in Gaboen met betrekking tot die status van Jipoenoe. Dit toon ook die belangrikheid en relevansie van die navorsing en gee die teoretiese basis, metodologie, hipoteses en
doelstellings onderliggend aan die studie.
Hoofstuk 2 kritiseer die leksikografiese werk in Jipoenoe met die doel om die gehalte van die
Jipoenoewoordeboeke te verbeter en die behoeftes van die Jipoenoeleksikografie te ondersoek.
Hoofstuk 3 beskou 'n aantal aspekte van die standaardisering van Jipoenoe. Dit is gemik op 'n
bespreking op die vlak van taalontleding, naamlik die fonologie, die grammatika, die woordeboek en
die ortografie van Jipoenoe.
Hoofstuk 4 bespreek die gebruikersperspektief wat die woordeboeksamestelling rig. Dit fokus op die
gebruikersprofiel, gebruikerstipologieë en woordeboekfunksies. Die beplande woordeboek het 'n
multifunksionele karakter. Spesiale aandag word gegee aan 'n baanbrekende ondersoek na
woordeboekgebruik onder Gaboenese studente en aan 'n bespreking van die onderrig van
woordeboekgebruik in Gaboen.
Hoofstuk 5 handel oor die woordeboekplan. Verskillende aspekte soos die stylgids, die werklike doel,
die woordeboekbasis, dataversameling, die dataversamelingsbeleid, dataversamelingsmetodes en die
korpus van die voorgestelde woordeboek word bespreek.
Hoofstuk 6 wei uit oor die makrostruktuur van die voorgestelde woordeboek. Die woordeboek gee
voorkeur aan 'n streng alfabetiese makrostruktuur. Makrostrukturele elemente,
lemmatiseringstrategieë, en soorte lemmas en artikels vir insluiting in die beplande woordeboek word
bespreek.
Hoofstuk 7 fokus op die mikrostruktuur van die voorgestelde woordeboek. Die model stel 'n verpligte
mikrostruktuur en 'n uitgebreide verpligte mikrostruktuur voor en bespreek die verskeidenheid data wat
in die artikels van die voorgestelde woordeboek ingesluit behoort te word. Hoofstuk 8 handel oor die buiteteksgedeelte en die gidsstrukture van die voorgestelde woordeboek wat
voor- en agtervoor- en agtertekste insluit. Politoeganklikheid, 'n stelsel van kruisverwysings, en
lemmatiese en nielemmatiese adresserings is kenmerke van die voorgestelde woordeboek.
Hoofstuk 9 maak 'n aantal slotopmerkings deur die fokuspunt van elke hoofstuk van die proefskrif te
belig. Dit verskaf ook 'n aantal aanbevelings vir navorsing.

De modo a facilitar a gestão destes dados, a EFSA desenvolveu um modelo para a transmissão de dados designado por Standard Sample Description (SSD). Este modelo contempla um conjunto de normas e regras de validação de dados, que terão de ser cumpridas pelos Estados-membros antes da transmissão dos dados à EFSA.
Este documento apresenta o estudo e os desenvolvimentos efetuados no âmbito do projeto “Implementation of Electronic Transmission of Chemical Occurrence Data in Portugal - (CFP/EFSA/DATEX2011/01)” para a transmissão eletrónica de dados de Portugal, referentes à presença de contaminantes químicos nos alimentos.
Começou-se por analisar os sistemas implementados por alguns países da Comunidade Europeia, no âmbito da transmissão eletrónica de dados à EFSA. Das diferentes abordagens encontradas foi extraído o conhecimento necessário para se desenvolver uma solução que se enquadrasse na realidade portuguesa.
Em Portugal, os dados relativos às análises de amostras encontravam-se dispersos e fragmentados, armazenados em sistemas informáticos “fechados” ou mesmo em formato de papel, tornando o trabalho de gestão desses dados bastante difícil.
A solução apresentada neste documento consiste na implementação de um sistema central, denominado por “PtOnData”, para onde os dados das várias autoridades competentes (AC) portuguesas são submetidos, validados e mapeados para o vocabulário SSD. Após este processo, os dados podem ser transmitidos à EFSA.
Nesta dissertação é ainda realizado um estudo para o desenvolvimento de um sistema que permita efetuar a gestão eletrónica da recolha de amostras. Uma solução deste género permite prevenir o erro humano na fase da recolha de amostras e melhorar a qualidade dos dados.

The goal of this study was to examine the professional development experiences of two participants while they were creating standards-based individualized education plan (IEP) goals using a virtual world called TeacherSim. The focuses of the study were how did special educators engage with the task of creating standards-based IEP goals using TeacherSim and how did TeacherSim support or hinder this? This research used a descriptive case study selecting two participants from the larger data set of seven participants. The data was analyzed using qualitative coding which compared the observed experiences with the case propositions. This case study demonstrated that special education professionals can work at a distance to learn the process of creating standards-based IEP goals while using the technology of a virtual world. Similarly, the use of virtual world technology appeared to facilitate feelings of physical and social presence, which aided in online collaborative activities.

However, medical response depends on multiple factors to be timely and effective. The process of building a competent international medical disaster relief organization is complex, yet many well-intentioned, charitable organizations react hastily after a disaster, sending medical teams without truly understanding what an effective response requires. Consequently, in their genuine effort to help, they may end up hindering the response effort more than helping. Meanwhile, successful organizations implement principles conducive to an effective response. This research identifies three key characteristics of success found in effective, well-established international medical disaster relief organizations. These characteristics are first, ensuring an official invitation has been extended and the need for assistance has been identified. Second, the response to that need is done in an effective and sustainable manner. Third, effective organizations strive to obtain high quality volunteers. By following these basic characteristics, organizations are likely to improve the efficiency and quality of their work.

Avec l’avancée de la nouvelle génération de lasers petawatt, il va devenir de plus en plus important d’étudier l’électrodynamique quantique en champ fort. Cette étude peut servir être vue soit comme un nouveau régime non perturbatif pour étudier la physique au delà du modèle standard, soit pour mieux comprendre certains phénomènes astrophysiques (tels que les magnetars), ou encore en tant que phénomène dominant dans l’interaction laser plasma à de telles intensités. Cependant, dans tous ces cas, les système à considérer est, non pas une particule unique comme souvent considéré en électrodynamique quantique pure, mais une collection de telles particules (soit des faisceaux d’électrons ou de photons, soit des plasmas de pairs, etc.). Il est par conséquent important de comprendre comment le comportement d’une particule unique affecte l’état global du système, et en particulier la forme de la fonction de distribution électronique et du champ rayonné. C’est sur ces points que ce travail est centré. Le manuscrit est organisé comme suit : Dans le chapitre 2, on introduit les bases de l’électrodynamique classique, démontre tous les résultats et définit toutes les notations qui seront utiles dans le reste de la thèse. On explique pourquoi une particule accélérée rayonne et calcule le champ rayonné par un électron ultra-relativiste. On montre que ce champ suit le spectre synchrotron. Quand l’énergie rayonnée par l’électron n’est plus négligeable, la radiation émise va rétroagir sur la trajectoire de la particule elle-même. On parle de réaction au rayonnement. On démontre ensuite l’équation de Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac (LAD) qui décrit le mouvement d’un électron en tenant compte de la réaction au rayonnement (RR). On montre que cette équation présente des solutions non physiques et on en déduit l’équation de Landau-Lifshitz, que l’on va utiliser pour décrire la réaction au rayonnement dans le reste de ce travail. On considère ensuite la solution de l’équation de LL dans des situations simples telles que le mouvement dans une ondes plane ou dans un champs magnétique uniforme et constant. Le régime classique dominé par la radiation est ensuite décrit et la limite de validité de la description classique analysée. Chapitre 3 : quand le paramètre quantique de l’électron est de l’ordre de l’unité, les photons émis peuvent avoir une énergie proche de celle de l’électron rayonnant. Dans ce cas, la réaction au rayonnement ne peut plus être traitée classiquement. Dans ce chapitre, on présente les bases de l’électrodynamique quantique, qui est le cadre dans lequel ces effets quantiques peuvent être calculés. On dérive les états de Volkov qui prennent en compte exactement le couplage entre l’électron et le champ fort externe. Ces états sont utilisés dans la représentation de Furry afin de calculer les différents processus d'électrodynamique quantique tels que la diffusion Compton non-linaire ou le processus de Breit-Wheeler. La section efficace de ces processus est ensuite analysée. Chapitre 4 : jusqu’à présent, la description de la radiation concernait une particule unique. Ici, on introduit l’équation de Vlasov qui décrit l’évolution de la fonction de distribution d’un ensemble de particules. On montre ensuite comment modifier cette équation afin de prendre en compte la RR classique et quantique. La résolution numérique de ces équations, ansi que les équations de Maxwell est ensuite décrite, en particulier à travers la très connue boucle PIC. On décrit ensuite comment modifier cette boucle PIC classique pour incorporer la RR, en particulier à travers l’utilisation d’un module Monte-Carlo. Chapitre 5 : on présente l’état de l’art de la RR dans notre communauté et une brève introduction de la partie 2 de cette thèse où l’on reporte la plupart des résultats originaux. Chapitre 6 : après un bref rappel de l’équation de LL, qui décrit la RR en électrodynamique classique, on revient sur les propriétés de la radiation quantique de l’électron [...]<br>With the advent of the new generation of petawatt lasers, it will become more and more important in the near future to study strong-field QED. As previously mentioned, it can either serve as a new nonperturbative regime for physics beyond the standard model, allow to understand extreme astro-physics events (such as magnetars), or even become a dominant effect in laser-plasma interaction.However, in all these cases, the system under consideration is not a single particle as usually consid-ered in pure SFQED works, but will be a collection of such particles (either electron/photon beams or pair plasmas etc.). It will therefore be important to understand how the behavior of single particles affect the overall state of the system, and in particular the shape of its electron distribution function and of its radiated spectrum. This is what this work is focused on. The manuscript is organized as fol-lows In chapter 2, we introduce the basis of classical electrodynamics and derive all the results and notations that will be useful in the rest of this thesis. We explain why any accelerated charge radiates an electromagnetic field and compute the spectrum radiated by an ultrarelativistic electron. We show that it follows the well-know synchrotron spectrum. When the energy radiated by the electron is no longer negligible, the emitted radiation will counteract on the trajectory of the particle itself. This is the so-called radiation reaction. We derive the Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac (LAD) equation, that describes the motion of an electron, taking into account radiation reaction (RR). We show that this equation presents unphysical solutions and deduce the Landau-Lifshitz (LL) equation, that we will use to describe RR in the classical regime in the rest of this work. We then consider the solution of the LL equation in simplified fields such as plane-waves or constant uniform magnetic fields. The classical radiation dominated regime (CRDR) is described and the limit of validity of the classical description analyzed. Chapter 3 : when the electron quantum parameter is of the order of unity, emitted photons can have an energy close to that of the emitting electron. In this case, radiation reaction can no longer be treated classically. In this chapter, we present the basis of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which is the framework in which such quantum effects can be computed. We derive the Volkov states that take into account exactly the nonperturbative coupling between the electron and the strong background field. These fields are used in the so-called Furry picture in order to compute the different QED pro-cesses such as the nonlinear Compton scattering or the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process. The cross-sections for these two processes are then analyzed. Chapter 4 : so far, the description of radiation concerned only single particles. Here we introduce the Vlasov equation that describes the evolution of the function distribution of a set a particles. We then see how to modify this equation in order to take into account classical and quantum RR. The numeri-cal resolution of this equation, together with Maxwell's equations is then described, in particular through the well-known PIC loop. We describe how to modify this classical PIC loop in order to in-clude classical and quantum RR, in particular through the use of a Monte-Carlo module. Chapter 5 : we present the state of the art on RR in our community and a brief introduction to the sec-ond part of this thesis where most of the original results are reported. Chapter 6 : after a brief reminder of the Landau-Lifshitz (LL) equation, which describes radiation re-action (RR) in classical electrodynamics (CED) as a deterministic force in the particle momentum equation, we recall the emission properties of a quantum radiating electron. We then turn our attention to the linear Boltzmann equation which is at the center of the kinetic description of RR explored in this thesis [...]

Full textAbstract:
Bon père de famille et plerumque fit sont deux standards juridiques utilisés par les juges ; le premier se retrouve dans certains textes du Code civil, le second dans quelques adages anciens. Le premier renvoie à l'"homme prudent et diligent", le second à l'homme "normal". Le discours juridique les confond parfois. Pourtant, ils doivent être distingués, la notion de père de famille est rattachée à la responsabilité civile, contractuelle comme délictuelle, et à l'appréciation in abstracto de la faute et de l'absence de faute par le juge ; il constitue la mesure, composée par celui-ci, et calibrée à la situation envisagée, exprimant les frontières du comportement licite. L'étude ne remet pas en cause cette assertion. Dans un premier temps, elle tente d'expliquer les tenants-les justifications-et les aboutissants-la mise en œuvre-de la méthode que réalise le bon père de famille. La faute (et l'absence de faute) apparaît comme un moyen d'estimer la légitimité d'une situation juridique et de justifier sa liquidation a posteriori. Le bon père de famille exprime ce qui doit être. Quant au plerumque fit, l'homme normal, il incarne e façon générique l'ensemble des présupposés tirés de l'expérience ordinaire mise en œuvre par le juriste lorsqu'il utilise ds outils lui permettant la reconstitution de ce qui est (présomption, causalité, interprétation, qualification). Celle-ci nécessite le recours à un standard "épistémologique", les postulant de manière objective. Dans un second temps, cette étude tente d'expliquer les tenants -les justifications-et les aboutissants-la mise en œuvre-des raisonnements qu'autorise le plerumque fitt<br>Bonus parter familias and plerumque fit are two judicial standards, frequently used by judges. While the first one can be found in legal dispositions of the Code Civil and constitutes the criterion for appreciate the fault of an agent in situation, the second one can be found in some acient adages, and plays a role in every juridical reasoning. The juridical discourse often merged them, but they should be distinguished : the bonus pater familias express what "should be", while the plerumque fit is a way to reconstruct what "that is". Then, the purpose of this study is to explain the causes and the consequences of the method they're, each of them, referring to

Full textAbstract:
Background
Saudi Arabia has suffered from disasters commonly in the last decade. The Saudi military medical services play a major role in confronting these events, but there are anecdotal challenges with their planning and response systems. Currently, disaster planning in Saudi Arabia appears to be undertaken in some detail, but the medical response to disasters is fragmented. This study aimed to review and assess the standard operating procedures for disaster response in the Saudi Arabian military health services.
Methods
We undertook a prospective, survey-based assessment of disaster response. We sought all disaster plans and Standard Operating Procedures from management and emergency department leadership at each of the 13 Military hospitals. We used a standardised survey tool to evaluate facility disaster planning. This tool gathers quantitative data using close-ended questions and open-ended commentary surrounding a hospital’s disaster response operating procedures.
Results
There was wide variability in the hospitals across the 20 themes in the survey. While most hospitals have a disaster plan, an up to date version was not always available. Key issues were identified in: management of contaminated patients; coordination of visitors, volunteers and extra staff; media management, and collaboration with other agencies.
Conclusion
The study highlighted a number of strengths in facility disaster preparedness, and a number of aspects where concerted efforts are required to improve the situation. In general, most hospitals had reasonable disaster plans in place, although none covered all the recommended areas in sufficient detail.

Full textAbstract:
Le volume de données disponibles dans les systèmes d'information est de plus en plus important et pour autant, nous n'avons jamais autant essayer d'interconnecter cette information pour en extraire de la connaissance sans véritable succès généralisable. L'origine du problème est multiple. Tout d'abord, l'information est représentée dans des structures différentes. Ensuite, les vocabulaires utilisés pour exprimer les données sont hétérogènes. Enfin, la qualité de l'information est souvent trop mauvaise pour utiliser une information et en déduire des connaissances. Ce diagnostic est d'autant plus vrai dans le cadre du partage d'information dans le domaine biomédical où il reste difficile de s'entendre sur des représentations (structures et vocabulaires) pivots d'un domaine de la médecine, et donc où il apparaît difficile de résoudre le problème du partage d'information par l'imposition de standard de codage et de structuration de l'information. Plus récemment, l'introduction de la sémantique dans des processus de partage d'information, nous offre la possibilité de mettre en oeuvre des représentations pivots indépendantes de la structuration ou du nommage d'une donnée. Cette thèse s'inscrit dans cette problématique de partage de données biomédicales dans le cadre de l'évaluation de l'évolution de la résistance des bactéries aux antibiotiques en Europe. L'hypothèse générale de travail que nous proposons est la suivante: comment partager de l'information biomédicale de manière non ambigüe, en temps réel, et à la demande en Europe. Cette hypothèse pose diverses problématiques que nous abordons dans ce mémoire. La problématique de la qualité des données. Celle de la représentation des données à travers leur structure, leur vocabulaire et de leur sémantique. Nous aborderons aussi les problèmes d'alignement de données aux ontologies de domaine et de la fédération de données aidée d'ontologie. Enfin, nous présenterons un système d'interopérabilité sémantique basé sur des règles qui aborde le problème d'alignement sémantique de systèmes hétérogènes appliqué à notre domaine. Nous discuterons finalement de l'apport de la sémantique pour le partage d'information et des limites des outils et méthodes actuels.

Full textAbstract:
Les systèmes implicites (dits aussi " descripteurs ") peuvent décrire des processus régis à la fois par des équations dynamiques et statiques et permettent de préserver la structure des systèmes physiques. Ils comportent trois types de modes : dynamiques finis, infinis (réponse temporelle impulsive (en cas continu) ou acausale (en cas discret)) et statiques. Dans le cadre du formalisme descripteur, les contributions de cette thèse sont triples : i) revisiter des résultats existants pour les systèmes d'état, ii) étendre certains résultats classiques au cas des systèmes implicites, iii) résoudre rigoureusement des problèmes de commande non standard. Ainsi, le présent mémoire commence par revisiter les résultats concernant la caractérisation LMI stricte de la dissipativité, les caractérisations de l'admissibilité et des performances H2 ou H∞ par LMI étendues et les équations de Sylvester et de Riccati généralisées. Il aborde dans un deuxième temps, le problème de stabilisation simultanée, avec ou sans critère H∞, à travers l'extension de certains résultats récents au cas des systèmes implicites. La solution proposée s'appuie sur la résolution combinée d'une équation algébrique de Riccati généralisée (GARE) et d'un problème de faisabilité sous contrainte LMI stricte. Il traite enfin des problèmes H2 et H∞ non standards : i) en présence de pondérations instables voire impropres, ii) sous contraintes de régulation; dans le cas des systèmes implicites. Ces dernières contributions permettent désormais de traiter rigoureusement, sans approximations ou transformations, de nombreux problèmes H2 ou H∞ formalisant des problèmes pratiques de commande, dont ceux faisant intervenir une pénalisation haute fréquence de la commande ou un modèle interne instable des signaux exogènes.

If necessary, we ourselves have produced corpora since we are speakers. The language is described under two main aspects:-The first aspect is devoted to phonics-phonology and deals with consonantal and vocalic phenomena, syllabic structure with its different constructions and their functioning. This description is based on the minimal pairs to make it possible to oppose phonemes and put a particular emphasis on the so-called «problematic» phonemes. This made it possible to classify and define the phonological status of these phonemes.-The second aspect supports morphology. It presents essentially nominal and verbal morphology. The chosen principle is to start from the structure to the word to distinguish the different grammatical classses and the forms that these grammatical classes can take in the language, revealing their functioning.Finally, from the comparison of the grammar system of Tuareg and french, this thesis proposes didactic tracks to facilitate in the bilingual classes the transition from L1 to L2

<p>The aim of this study was to identify the strategies used to render the literary dialect in A State of Independence into the Swedish translation. In order to systematically study the translation solutions, a number of ‘coupled pairs’ consisting of source text ‘problems’ and target text ‘solutions’ were extracted from the original text and the translation. The ‘coupled pairs’ were then analysed in order to detect regularities in the translation solutions. The study showed that the major strategy used by the translator was the use of ‘eye-dialect’, i.e. non-standard spellings that simulate non-standard speech. Moreover, some passages in the translation had been standardised, whereas eye-dialectal spellings were found in other passages where the original did not contain any non-standard features. Finally, a comparative count of dialectally marked utterances in both texts was made. The count showed that the dialectal markers were in the majority in the translation, which might indicate that the translator has tried to compensate for the lack of equivalent target language features.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Toury’s first law of translation states that translation of all kinds entails standardisation and, moreover, that the more peripheral the status of a text is, the more standardised its translation will be. As such, the purpose of this essay was to investigate to what extent this holds true in the Swedish translations of the two US television hospital shows Scrubs and House M.D. Though they are both hospital shows, House M.D. – considering its unprecedented genre hybridity and unusual plot structure – is a less mainstream and, as such, more peripheral example of a hospital show than Scrubs, which is more mainstream and, consequently, has a more central position within this genre. The object of study concerned the genre-specific register shared by the two shows – i.e. the medical terminology – which was extracted together with its Swedish subtitles and analysed, mainly in terms of coupled pairs. The analysis consisted of identifying which translation strategies had been adopted in the transfer of terminology and, moreover, what these strategies had entailed in terms of semantic increase, decrease, or correspondence between the original texts and their translations. From this it was concluded that both texts were indeed standardised and, additionally, that House M.D. – as the more peripheral of the two texts – had undergone a more extensive standardisation than Scrubs – being the text holding a more central status.
