3D building models are beneficial to architects, interior designers, and ordinary people in visualizing indoor space in three dimensions. 3D building models appear to be more aesthetic to ordinary people than architectural drawings. Architects can benefit from such models in detecting any inconsistencies in their designs. This thesis describes the design and implementation of an efficient 3D building model generator (3dGen) that can automatically create 3D building models from AutoCAD drawings. This thesis explains how 3dGen takes floor plan data in XML format (generated from AutoCAD drawings), extrudes the walls and vertical surfaces and adds additional 3D information to the existing floor plan. In doing so 3dGen aims to satisfy the complete watertight space and the manifold properties and attempts to minimize the amount of 3D data by eliminating redundant geometric primitives. This thesis explains the algorithms that were employed in order to generate correct surfaces with many types of portals in them and algorithms that detect inconsistencies in the 2D architectural drawings.

Includes bibliographical references.Virtual Reality (VR) is an new and exciting medium waiting to be fully explored and capitalised by media experts. The advantages of the 3D graphics andinteractive nature of VR allows unique communication opportunities from a content expert to a target audience. Despite the attractiveness of VR as a communications medium, it has not yet reached its full potential in that role. We believe that this is because content experts do not have the necessary tools to create Virtual Environment (VE) applications to their specifications. The design of a VE is complex and tools to support every aspect of the design processes are few and far between. On the other hand, there has been much activity in the development of authoring tools in view of supporting content experts in the creation of VEs. Although these tools simplify the creation process, they still require some degree of programming. We believe that in order to allow a content expert to exploit the medium, support of the design phase is needed to bridge the gap between designers and creators of these environments.

Full textAbstract:
Pre-visualisation is an important tool for planning films during the pre-production phase of filmmaking. Existing pre-visualisation authoring tools do not effectively support the user in authoring pre-visualisations without impairing software usability. These tools require the user to either have programming skills, be experienced in modelling and animation, or use drag-and-drop style interfaces. These interaction methods do not intuitively fit with pre-production activities such as floor planning and storyboarding, and existing tools that apply a storyboarding metaphor do not automatically interpret user sketches. The goal of this research was to investigate how sketch-based user interfaces and methods from computer vision could be used for supporting pre-visualisation authoring using a storyboarding approach. The requirements for such a sketch-based storyboarding tool were determined from literature and an interview with Triggerfish Animation Studios. A framework was developed to support sketch-based pre-visualisation authoring using a storyboarding approach. Algorithms for describing user sketches, recognising objects and performing pose estimation were designed to automatically interpret user sketches. A proof of concept prototype implementation of this framework was evaluated in order to assess its usability benefit. It was found that the participants could author pre-visualisations effectively, efficiently and easily. The results of the usability evaluation also showed that the participants were satisfied with the overall design and usability of the prototype tool. The positive and negative findings of the evaluation were interpreted and combined with existing heuristics in order to create a set of guidelines for designing similar sketch-based pre-visualisation authoring tools that apply the storyboarding approach. The successful implementation of the proof of concept prototype tool provides practical evidence of the feasibility of sketch-based pre-visualisation authoring. The positive results from the usability evaluation established that sketch-based interfacing techniques can be used effectively with a storyboarding approach for authoring pre-visualisations without impairing software usability.

Full textAbstract:
Machine learning techniques within Computer Vision are rapidly improving computers' high-level understanding of images, thus revealing new opportunities to accomplish tasks that previously required manual intervention from humans. This paper aims to study where the current machine learning state-of-the-art is when it comes to parsing and segmenting bitmap images of floor plans. To assess the above, this paper evaluates one of the state-of-the-art models within instance segmentation, Mask R-CNN, on a size-limited and challenging floor plan dataset. The model handles detecting both objects and generating a high-quality segmentation map for each object, allowing for complete image segmentation using only a single network. Additionally, in order to extend the dataset, synthetic data generation was explored, and results indicate that it aids the network with floor plan generalization. The network is evaluated on both semantic and instance segmentation metrics and results show that the network yields good, almost completely segmented floor plans on smaller blueprints with little noise, while yielding decent but not completely segmented floor plans on large blueprints with a large amount of noise. Based on the results and them being achieved from a limited dataset, Mask R-CNN shows that it has potential in both accuracy and robustness for floor plans segmentation, either as a standalone network or alternatively as part of a pipeline of several methods and techniques.

Full textAbstract:
Inom Sverige flyttade 1,6 miljoner människor år 2020 varav 60 000 av flyttarna skeddeinom samma fastighet. Genom att utveckla bostäder och göra dem anpassningsbara går det enklare att möta människors behov vid val av bostäder. Genom att utforma bostäder med fokus på arkitektoniska kvalitéer och anpassningsbarhet går det att bidra till och stödja social hållbarhet. Syftet med arbetet är att utforma anpassningsbara planlösningar för ett flerbostadshus med målet att bidra till ökad social hållbarhet, samt att redogöra för vad som kan bidra till en socialt hållbar bostad. Syftet uppnåddes genom att göra en fallstudie och projektera för planlösningar utifrån de teoretiska utgångspunkterna.En planlösning som kan stödja social hållbarhet ska möta de boendes behov. Genom anpassningsbarhet går det att möta behov vid förändrade familjesituationer och olika faser i livet. Att smidigt kunna få ett extra rum eller få bort ett rum som ej används till en behövande granne stödjer social hållbarhet i byggnaden. De arkitektoniska aspekternasom planlösningarna utformas efter berör den inre miljön i lägenheterna. Genom att jobba med ljus via fönsterplacering och axialitet, rumsorganisation, rörelser, omslutenhet, tillgänglighet och trygghet går det bidra till social hållbarhet. Individens välbefinnande har också haft en central roll i projekteringen och även det kan stödjas utifrån aspekterna studien arbetar omkring. En viktig faktor i social hållbarhet är social interaktion, att utforma en byggnad där hänsyn tas till sociala interaktioner stödjer social hållbarhet. Arbetet begränsas till flerbostadshuset och berör därför inte området runt bostaden. Gemensamma ytor finns ofta belägna runt om huset, en gemensam yta bidrar till sociala interaktioner men kan vara svårt att få plats med inuti ett flerbostadshus utan att ta yta från lägenheterna, att använda flerbostadshusets tak till en gemensam yta medför att lägenhetsstorlekarna inte blir beroende av ytan den gemensamma ytan tar.Social hållbarhet är ett komplext ämne, förslaget studien har arbetat fram är ett av många förslag på vad social hållbarhet i en planlösning kan innebära. Resultatet av studien visar att flera olika aspekter har betydelse när det handlar om social hållbarhet, flera av aspekterna går att koppla till varandra, ljus är hälsofrämjande och samspelar med axialitet som leder till trygghet via naturlig övervakning. Att utforma anpassningsbara flerbostadshus stödjer också social hållbarhet ur ett längre perspektiv, möjligheten att möta människors behov och marknadens efterfrågan blir enklare med ett anpassningsbart flerbostadshus. Social hållbarhet är ett ämne för framtida forskning och studien visar ett resultat som går att arbeta vidare på.The purpose of the work is to design adaptable floor plans for an apartment building with the goal of contributing to increased social sustainability. And explain what can contribute to a socially sustainable home.The result shows that there are several aspects to consider in social sustainability. The study has chosen to focus on aspects related to the floor plan. The surroundings and location of the apartment building have therefore not been studied. By working with aspects such as light, axiality, room organization, immersion, adaptability, security, movements and accessibility, it is possible to contribute to social sustainability. Customizable floor plans can be designed in different ways, the study's proposal describes floor plans that are adapted between the different apartments to change the area of the apartments and the availability of an extra or fewer room. To support social sustainability, residents' needs need to be met.The difficulty with the study is that social sustainability is a complex subject and linking it to a single floor plan makes the work more difficult than if the environment and location had been included. What is considered socially sustainable and what needs tomeet can be subjective.

The present dissertation has as object of study the career paths of teachers of the five municipalities of the highest IDHM and the five municipalities with the lowest IDHM of Paraná. The research objectives were: assess whether municipalities studied are in accordance with the legislation, about the career path of establishment and payment of Salary Floor National Vocational and if this ensures, in fact, the valorization of teachers; conduct comparative data between the Municipal Human Development Index (HDIM), Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Basic Education Development Index (IDEB) with the existence of the career plans of the state of Paraná municipalities; verify if the municipalities that have a high IDHM ensure the valorization of education professionals; establish a comparative of the career paths of the five municipalities with the highest IDHM with career plans of the five municipalities with the lower IDHM in the state of Paraná. The research is based on historical and dialectical materialism, which seeks to reveal the contradictions and appreciation of teacher education in the current form of sociability. The approach is literature and documentary, and the following documents were consulted: the LDB nº 9.394, of 1996; the Law nº 11.494 of 2007 and Decree nº 6.253 of 2007, which regulates the Fund for Maintenance and Development of Basic Education and Valorization of Education Professionals (FUNDEB); Constitutional Amendment nº 53, of 2006; the National Education Plan (PNE, 2001-2011); Development Plan of Education (PDE-2007); Law of the National Professional Salary Floor, nº 11.738, of 2008; the Public National System of formation of Magisterium Professionals, of 2008; the National Policy of Magisterium of Professional Formation of Basic Education, of 2009; Resolution nº 2, of 2009, establishing the National Guidelines for Plans Career and Remuneration of Professionals of the Magisterium of Public Basic Education; Decree nº 6.755, of 2009; the new PNE Bill, nº 103, of 2012; the new National Education Plan, established by Law 13.005, of 2014; and laws that provide for the career plans of public school teachers of the municipalities of the Paraná surveyed. We emphasize the importance of these documents to analyze the valorization of teachers. As theoretical fundamentation, we turn to authors such as: Vieira, D. (2012, 2013), Peroni (2013), Saviani (2007), Scheibe (2010), Machado (2010); Gurgel (2012); Vieira, N. (2002); Arruda (2003); Meguerditchian (2012); Ferreira (2014). From the analysis, concluded that even with the existence of standards, laws and national guidelines, the federal entities, for various reasons, have had difficulties in fulfilling them, furthermore, in municipalities with less IDHM, there is less attractive career and they remunerate less teachers. However, municipalities that occupy the first places in IDHM also do not value the teachers accordingly to their level of development, since they have low growth rate between the interstices and, in many cases, it takes many years to reach the top of the career.
A presente dissertação tem como objeto de estudo os planos de carreira dos professores dos cinco municípios de maior IDH e dos cinco municípios de menor IDH do Paraná. Os objetivos da pesquisa foram: analisar se os municípios estudados estão de acordo com a legislação, quanto ao estabelecimento de planos de carreira e ao pagamento do Piso Salarial Profissional Nacional e se isso assegura, de fato, a valorização dos professores; realizar comparativos entre os dados do Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH), do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) e do Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (IDEB) com a existência dos planos de carreira dos municípios do estado do Paraná; verificar se os municípios que apresentam IDHM alto garantem a valorização dos profissionais da educação; estabelecer um comparativo dos planos de carreira dos cinco municípios que apresentam o IDHM mais elevado com os planos de carreira dos cinco municípios que apresentam o IDHM menos elevado no estado do Paraná. A pesquisa fundamenta-se no materialismo histórico e dialético, o qual busca desvelar as contradições da formação e valorização docente na atual forma de sociabilidade. A abordagem é bibliográfica e documental, sendo que foram consultados os seguintes documentos: a LDB nº 9394, de 1996; a Lei nº 11.494, de 2007, e o Decreto nº 6.253, de 2007, os quais regulamentam o Fundo de Manutenção e Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica e de Valorização dos Profissionais da Educação (FUNDEB); a Emenda Constitucional nº 53, de 2006; o Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE, 2001 - 2011); o Plano de Desenvolvimento da Educação (PDE-2007); a Lei do Piso Salarial Profissional Nacional, nº 11.738, de 2008; o Sistema Nacional Público de Formação dos Profissionais do Magistério, de 2008; a Política Nacional de Formação de Profissionais do Magistério da Educação Básica, de 2009; a Resolução nº 2, de 2009, que fixa as Diretrizes Nacionais para os Planos de Carreira e Remuneração dos Profissionais do Magistério da Educação Básica Pública; o Decreto nº 6.755, de 2009; o Projeto de Lei do novo PNE, nº 103, de 2012; o novo Plano Nacional de Educação, instituído pela Lei 13.005, de 2014; e as leis que dispõem sobre os planos de carreira dos professores da rede pública dos municípios do Paraná pesquisados. Enfatiza-se a importância desses documentos para a análise da valorização dos professores. Como fundamentação teórica, recorremos a autores como: Vieira, D. (2012, 2013), Peroni (2013), Saviani (2007), Scheibe (2010), Machado (2010); Gurgel (2012); Vieira, N. (2002); Arruda (2003); Meguerditchian (2012); Ferreira (2014). A partir da análise, concluímos que, mesmo com a existência de normas, leis e diretrizes nacionais, os entes federados, por diversas razões, têm apresentado dificuldade no cumprimento das mesmas, além disso, nos municípios com menor IDHM, há menor atratividade na carreira e os mesmos, remuneram menos os professores. Todavia, os municípios que ocupam as primeiras colocações no IDHM também não valorizam os professores de forma correspondente ao seu nível de desenvolvimento, já que apresentam baixos coeficientes de crescimento entre os interstícios e, em muitos casos, leva-se muitos anos para se atingir o topo da carreira.

Rowley, Marc A. "Orchard Floor Management." DigitalCommons@USU, 2011. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/1103.
Full textAbstract:
Orchard floor management is vital to tree health, yield, and fruit quality. Current standard management practices include maintaining a vegetation-free tree row and a grass-covered alleyway. This system is effective at limiting competition from undesirable vegetation and creating a favorable environment for the fruit trees. However, limitations to standard orchard floor practices are that the grass alleyway provides no nutrient benefit, and current practices do not readily lend themselves to organic management constraints. Alternative in-row and alleyway systems are requisite to creating improved orchard floor management systems. Three different approaches were used to investigate alternative orchard floor management strategies, including: alternative in-row weed control with combinations of mulch and organic herbicides, alternative alleyway management with legume cover crops, and combinations of in-row and alleyway alternative strategies. Although organic in-row weed control was best accomplished with combinations of straw and acetic acid, this management approach was not economically viable at current costs of labor and supplies, and current fruit prices. Alfalfa and alfalfa clover treatments contributed the most aboveground biomass and nitrogen among alternative alleyway covers, but consumed 45% more water than the conventional grass alleyway. In combinations of in-row and alleyway alternatives, birds-foot trefoil alleyway had a beneficial effect on tree growth compared to grass, while consuming the greatest amount of water. Peach yields were the highest for the integrated compost and NPK fertility treatments that used herbicides to minimize competition. Treatments that experienced the most competition from weeds, no herbicide and reduced herbicide treatments, resulted in lower yields. Weed fabric and tillage in-row weed control methods resulted in the highest tree growth as compared to the straw and alyssum treatments. Finally, results from the combined studies were integrated into a series of recommendations for commercial fruit growers. While alternatives to orchard floor management show a number of potential benefits for growers in the Intermountain West, additional work is needed to determine the long-term viability of these approaches.

Full textAbstract:
Bostadsbristen för unga växer i takt med att fler byggherrar avstår från att bygga små lägenheter, då rådande lagar gör det svårt att på ett gynnsamt sätt producera kostnads- och yteffektiva bostäder. Bostäder har i dag krav på sig från kommuner och beställare att uppfylla svensk standard. Däri har handikapporganisationer drivit fram tillgänglighetskrav som medför att alla nyproducerade bostäder är tillgänglighetsanpassade. Genom att ifrågasätta svensk funktionshinderspolitik i samband med bostadsbyggande har detta examensarbete som mål att hitta lösningar för att öka nyproduktionen av små bostäder. Granskningen resulterade i ett förslag till en ny standard för ungdoms- och studentbostäder vilken underlättar vid projektering av mindre enskilda bostadslägenheter.The housing shortage for young people is growing as more developers refrain from building small houses since current laws make it difficult to favorably produce space-efficient buildings. Buildings must, as requirements from municipalities and clients, achieve the Swedish Standard. A standard where disability organizations have driven the availability requirements that entail that all new buildings are adapted for accessibility. By questioning the Swedish disability policy related to the building trade this thesis aims to find solutions to increase the new constructions of small apartments. The result became a proposal to a new standard for youths and students apartments, simplifying the planning of small apartments.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Procedural content generation (PCG) has become an important subject as the demand for content in modern games has increased. Paradox Arctic is a game development studio that aims to be at the forefront of technological solutions and is therefore interested in furthering their knowledge in PCG. To this end, Paradox Arctic has expressed their interest in a collaborative effort to further explore the subject of procedural floor plan generation. Objective: The main goal of this work is to test whether a solution based on growth, subdivision or a combination thereof, can be used to procedurally generate believable and varied floor plans for game environments, while also conforming to predefined constraints. Method: A solution capable of generating floor plans with the use of growth, subdivision and a combination of both has been implemented and a survey testing the believability and variation of the generated layouts has been conducted. Results & Conclusions: While the results of the subdivision and combined solutions show that more work is necessary before the generated content can be considered believable, the growth based solution presents promising results in terms of believability when generating smaller to medium sized layouts. This believability does however come at the cost of variation.Bakgrund: Procedural content generation (PCG) har blivit ett alltmer viktigt ämne allteftersom kravet på mängden innehåll i moderna spel har ökat. Paradox Arctic är en spelutvecklingsstudio vars målsättning är att ligga i teknologins framkant och de är därför intresserade av att vidareutveckla sin kompetens inom PCG. Av denna anledning har de uttryckt intresse för ett samarbete inom området “procedurell generering av planlösningar”. Syfte: Det huvudsakliga syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka huruvida lösningar baserade på att växa ytor, fördela ytor i mindre delar eller en kombination av dessa, kan användas för att skapa trovärdiga och varierade planlösningar för spelmiljöer, utan att bryta förutbestämda krav. Metod: En lösning som procedurellt genererar planlösningar genom att växa och/eller fördela dem har implementerats och en undersökning, med syftet att utvärdera trovärdigheten och variationen i de genererade planlösningarna, har utförts. Resultat & Slutsatser: Lösningen som baseras på fördelning av ytor och den kombinerade lösningen, visades av resultaten kräva ytterliggare arbete för att anses generera trovärdiga resultat. Lösningen som baseras på att växa ytor däremot, visade positiva trovärdighetsresultat när små och medelstora planlösningar genererades. Detta goda resultat uppstod dock på bekostnaden av variation mellan de genererade planlösningarna.

Previous issue date: 2015We present a procedural method to create floor plans considering user-provided requisites as well as the constraint of a building’s exterior walls. First, a grid is created in the available space. Then, each room is placed to occupy a single cell in the grid, and subsequently expanded, occupying adjacent cells to achieve its final size. This growth-based approach can generate different interior models which follow user requisites without relying on costly optimization steps. The proposed method handles a wide variety of building shapes, including non-convex polygons. Possible applications include architectural tools and digital content generation.
Neste trabalho apresenta-se um método procedural para criar plantas baixas levando em conta requisitos do usuário e também o limite das paredes externas de uma construção. Primeiro, uma grade é criada no espaço disponível. Então, cada aposento é posicionado de tal forma a ocupar uma célula da grade, e é subsequentemente expandido, ocupando células adjacentes para alcançar seu tamanho final. Essa abordadem baseada em crescimento pode gerar diferentes modelos de interior que atendem aos requisitos do usuário sem depender de passos custosos de otimização. O método proposto é capaz de lidar com uma variedade de formatos externos das paredes da construção, incluindo polígonos não convexos. Possíveis aplicações incluem ferramentas de arquitetura e a geração de conteúdo digital.

Resumo: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo estudar ontogenética e morfologicamente a flor e o fruto em representantes de Bignoniaceae no intuito de verificar se ocorrem padrões no desenvolvimento do ovário bem como o modo de formação do septo e placentas e a forma de compressão do fruto nesta família. Foram realizados estudos ontogenéticos com abordagens anatômicas e de Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura em gemas florais, botões florais, flores e frutos de representantes selecionados de acordo com atributos morfológicos de interesse taxonômico como o tipo de fruto (indeiscente/deiscente), deiscência deste em relação à coluna seminífera (paralela/perpendicular), tipo de coluna seminífera e em Jacaranda, um representante de cada seção. As espécies estudadas foram: Cybistax antisyphilitica (Mart.) Mart., Jacaranda mimosifolia D. Don (seção Jacaranda) e Jacaranda simplicifolia K. Schum. ex Bureau & K. Schum. (seção Dilobos), Digomphia laurifolia Benth. (Tecomeae), Arrabidaea brachypoda Bureau (Bignonieae) e Parmentiera cereifera Seem. (Crescentieae). Efetuou-se o estudo morfológico das espécies de Jacaranda e de Digomphia nativas do Brasil, com intuito de obter caracteres diagnósticos com enfoque em Jacaranda que apresenta espécies muito parecidas, de difícil posicionamento taxonômico. Verificou-se que o surgimento dos primórdios de filomas florais ocorre centripetamente, de forma sincrônica ou assincrônica. Os dois carpelos são ascidiados e originam-se na região central do domo, podendo esta se tornar côncava antes da iniciação dos carpelos. O septo pode estar presente desde os estádios iniciais do desenvolvimento ou surgir posteriormente. Através do estudo anatômico, verificou-se que em todas as espécies analisadas os primeiros feixes vasculares a se formarem no ovário são os dorsais, seguidos dos ventrais. Ocorrem quatro placentas, nas quais os óvulos se desenvolvem da região central próxima ao tecido transmissor para as regiões periféricas do septo, de forma basípeta ou acrópeta, variando em número de fileiras e óvulos conforme as espécies. Os óvulos são unitegumentados e anátropos. O estaminódio, mesmo que vestigial, desenvolve-se mais rapidamente que as anteras nos estádios ontogenéticos iniciais. No desenvolvimento do fruto, as maiores modificações ocorrem na região mediana do pericarpo jovem, junto aos feixes vasculares laterais, onde surgem novos feixes e fibras orientadas em vários sentidos. Registrou-se a presença de um replo em A. brachypoda, constituído por um feixe vascular lateral no pericarpo, rico em fibras e adjacências da coluna seminífera. Em Jacaranda, pode-se fazer as seguintes inferências: a Seção Dilobos apresenta plantas com hábito arbustivo ou arbóreo, com as folhas são bipinadas na maioria das árvores e pinadas nos arbustos, exceto em J. simplicifolia, que é um arbusto com folhas simples. Na Seção Jacaranda, a maioria das espécies é arbórea, com folhas bipinadas e as inflorescências são mais complexas. As espécies arbóreas de Jacaranda com folhas bipinadas e anteras monotecas possuem os frutos lenhosos, enquanto que os frutos sublenhosos a cartáceos estão dentre as espécies arbustivas e xilopodíferas deste gênero. Digomphia compartilha com Jacaranda caracteres morfológicos como a forma de compressão do fruto, deiscência perpendicular ao septo e estaminódio alongado com tricomas glandulares. A disposição dos feixes vasculares no ovário e no fruto é característica destes dois gêneros diferindo dos demais gêneros de Bignoniaceae aqui estudados
Abstract: This contribution involves the study on both, morphological and ontogenetic grounds of flower and fruit early development within representative species of Bignoniaceae. Emphasis is given to possible patterns of ovary, placentae, and septum development, as well as on fruit shape and compression. Anatomical and SEM studies were performed on floral primordia, floral buds, flowers and fruits of morphologically and taxonomically representative species. Morphological features of taxonomic relevance (type of fruits and dehiscence; type of seminal axis, etc). The studied species were Cybistax antisyphilitica (Mart.) Mart., Jacaranda mimosifolia D. Don (section Jacaranda), J. simplicifolia K. Schum. ex Bureau & K. Schum. (section Dilobos), Digomphia laurifolia Benth. (Tecomeae), Arrabidaea brachypoda Bureau (Bignonieae) and Parmentiera cereifera Seem. (Crescentieae). Complementary morphological studies were performed on native Brazilian species of Jacaranda and Digomphia. These studies were mainly focused on Jacaranda, a genus with remarkable taxonomic problems and were aimed to assemble sets of diagnostic characters for species of difficult identification. The arising of floral primordia is centripetal, the development of the primordia being synchronic or asynchronic. The two ascidiate carpels arise at the dome¿s center. This dome¿s central region may turn concave prior to carpel initiation. The septum may or may not be present at earliest developmental stages. At the ovary, the dorsal vascular bundles develop first, followed by the ventral ones. There are four placentae and the ovules develop from the central region next to the transmitting tissue, toward septum¿s peripheral region; in a basipetal to acropetal way. The number of ovules and series varies according to the species. The ovules are unitegmic and anatropous. The staminode, even in species where it is vestigial, develops faster than functional anthers during the earlier developmental stages. During fruit development, most significant modifications involve the median region of the young pericarp; where a number of variously arranged vascular bundles and fibers appear near the vascular bundles. The tissue originating the line of fruit dehiscence appears soon after the ovules are fertilized. A replum was recorded in A. brachypoda. This replum consists of a fiber-rich central vascular bundle, part of the pericarp and part of the seminal axis. Considering Jacaranda, the following inferences can be done: In its current delimitation, section Dilobos includes shrubs or trees. Most trees display bipinnate leaves. Conversely, shrubs show pinnate leaves. Remarkably, one species within this section (J. simplicifolia) is a shrub with simple leaves. Within the section Jacaranda, most species are trees with bipinnate leaves. The inflorescences are more complex in this section. Arboreal, monotecic species with bipinnate leaves display lignified fruits. Conversely, coriaceous fruits are restricted to the shrubby or xylopodiferous species. Digomphia shares a number of morphological features with Jacaranda, such as fruit shape, compression type and dehiscence, presence of an elongate staminodium covered with glandular trichomes and a characteristic arrangement of ovary and fruit vascular bundles. This latter feature is quite different in the other studied Bignoniaceae genera

Mestrado em MarketingA Meia Flor é um empreendimento que atua na área da organização de eventos, de festas de aniversário e outras celebrações, através de um produto inovador, os Kits temáticos de decoração. Tendo iniciado a sua operação há menos de um ano, tornava-se imperativo a elaboração de um plano de marketing para a expansão da sua atividade. Este é o objeto de estudo deste Trabalho Final de Mestrado (TFM). A metodologia utilizada para este TFM foi uma action research, que se revelou como sendo a abordagem mais adequada, tratando-se de uma empresa gerida pela autora. Os principais objetivos deste plano de marketing foram definidos como sendo o aumento da faturação e o aumento da notoriedade da marca. Assim, foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas a clientes e inquéritos por questionário, de modo a recolher dados relevantes para o estudo. Após definidas as estratégias, foram elaboradas as respetivas calendarização e orçamentação, que se tornam essenciais para alcançar os objetivos pretendidos. Depois de analisados os dados, verificou-se que a marca tem pouca notoriedade e a percentagem de pessoas que a conhece, é através de amigos e familiares. Com este estudo, conclui-se que as redes sociais ainda são um ponto a melhorar e que a comunicação deve ser a vertente em que a Meia Flor precisa de investir grande parte do seu orçamento.
Meia Flor is a company that operates in the market segment of event organization, birthday parties and other celebrations through an innovative product, thematic kits for party decoration. Having started its operations less than a year ago, it became an imperative to draw up a marketing plan for the expansion of its activity. That is the studding purpose of the following project. The methodology used for this work was the action research, which came as the most appropriate approach since the company is run by the author. The main goals of this marketing plan were to lead to growth in sales and brand awareness. Thus, semi- structured interviews with clients and surveys were carried out to obtain relevant data. After outlining a strategy, the focus turned to the budget and schedule, which are essential to achieve the desired results. After analyzing the data, it was established that the brand has still little notice and a large percentage of the people who acknowledge it come through friends and family. With this research, one can infer that the communication and social media still have room for improvement and they should be the core areas for budget allocation and investment.

Generating a comprehensive model of a university campus or other large urban space is a challenging undertaking due to the size, geometric complexity, and levels of rich semantic information contained in inhabited environments. This thesis presents a practical approach to constructing topological models of large environments from labeled floor plan geometry. An exhaustive classification of adjacency types is provided for a university infrastructure including roads, walkways, green-space, and the detailed interior spaces of campus buildings. The system models geospatial features for over 160 buildings within the MIT campus, consisting of more than 800 individual floors, and approximately 36,000 spaces spanning indoor and outdoor terrain. The main motivation is to develop an intuitive, human-centered approach to navigation systems. An application is presented for generating efficient routes between locations on MIT's campus with coverage of both interior and exterior environments. A second application, the MIT WikiMap, aims to generate a more expressive record of the environment by drawing from the knowledge of its inhabitants. The WikiMap provides an interface for collaborative tagging of geographical locations on the MIT campus, designed for interfacing with users to collect semantic data.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the in-plane stiffness of CLT floor diaphragms and addresses the lateral load distribution within buildings containing CLT floors. In practice, it is common to assume the floor diaphragm as either flexible or rigid, and distribute the lateral load according to simple hand calculations methods. Here, the applicability of theses assumption to CLT floor diaphragms is investigated. There is limited number of studies on the subject of in-plane behaviour of CLT diaphragms in the literature. Many of these studies involve testing of the panels or the connections utilized in CLT diaphragms. This study employs numerical modeling as a tool to address the in-plane behaviour of CLT diaphragms. The approach taken to develop the numerical models in this thesis has not been applied so far to CLT floor diaphragms.
Detailed 2D finite element models of selective CLT floor diaphragm configurations are generated and analysed in ANSYS. The models contain a smeared panel-to-panel connection model, which is calibrated with test data of a special type of CLT connection with self-tapping wood screws. The floor models are then extended to building models by adding shearwalls, and the lateral load distribution is studied for each building model. A design flowchart is also developed to aid engineers in finding the lateral load distribution for any type of building in a systematic approach. By a parametric study, the most influential parameters affecting the in-plane behaviour of CLT floor diaphragm and the lateral load distribution are identified. The main parameters include the response of the CLT panel-to-panel connections, the in-plane shear modulus of CLT panels, the stiffness of shearwalls, and the floor diaphragm configuration. It was found that the applicability of flexible or rigid diaphragm assumptions is primarily dependent on the relative stiffness of the CLT floor diaphragm and the shearwalls.

Full textAbstract:
The field programmable gate array (FPGA) is an attractive computational platform for many applications because of its customizable nature and modest development cost, in terms of both time and money. As FPGAs scale to increased logical capacities, designers have increased flexibility. However, the FPGA placement problem becomes more difficult at increased sizes. Increasingly, designers are encouraged to structure designs hierarchically and floor-plan. Floor planning is a manual process which maps specified design submodules to selected physical regions of the FPGA device fabric. This thesis explores several of the effects that floor-planning has on submodules and the designs they comprise. A method is developed to explore the floor-planning impact on submodules independent of a full design. Six different submodules are independently subjected to varying timing constraints and to area constraints of varying aspect ratios and area allocations. The resulting submodule minimum clock periods, routing overflows, and relocatabilities are assembled from millions of submodule implementations. The aggregate results suggest that EDA placement and routing tools can meet design constraints even with extreme combinations of submodule aspect ratio and area allocations; however, the probability of implementations meeting constraints may be low at those extremes. Separate sets of submodule floor-planning guidelines are developed to optimize for meeting minimum clock period constraints, minimizing routing overflow, and maximize relocatability. The submodule floor planning guidelines for meeting minimum clock period are verified in full design implementations.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on the development of design constraints for use in analyzing the capacity of the residential units' floor areas in Open Building projects. Two cases are used to demonstrate the use of these constraints: a vacant office building (Kales Building) being converted to residential occupancy; a new multi-story building the lower floors of which are hotel rooms and the upper floors are residential condominium units.The thesis suggests that these constraints and the capacity analysis of residential floor areas associated with them can assist design teams, at the beginning of similar projects; provide important "added value" to clients, and contribute to the long term "sustainability" or adaptability of buildings.The first part of the thesis addresses the question of how to design a residential base building which can accommodate an optimal number and variety of fit-out unit layouts. The answer to the question links to the need for design constraints and points to their use in capacity analysis.The second part of the thesis focuses on the deduction of "constraint-designing" for Open Building residential layout. Plumbing systems, which are one of the most significant barriers to the application of Open Building, are specifically and more deeply studied in this part. A series of constraints are developed, which can generally assist in designing and analyzing floor plate capacity. . It is akin to learning to know the rules before starting a game.The third part of the thesis focuses on the demonstration of the uses of constraints in the design process of the conversion of an abandoned office building to residential uses.The last part of the thesis demonstrates the use of constraints and capacity analysis in a new multi-story condo project.In short, the paper is initially concerned with both the design concept and its application into detail levels in one of the many issues. It is a study of methods and technical rules of designing floor plan layouts when capacity analysis is the aim.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this research was to investigate the sediment behaviour in a compound channel and, in particular, the transfer of sediment between a main channel and its flood plain. A review of the literature on compound channels showed that, whilst research on fixed boundaries had been carried out or was in hand, there was no evidence that the loose boundary situation had previously been studied.Experiments were conducted in a loose boundary, outdoor sand channel of symmetrical compound section. The channel was of straight alignment, 50 m long, with an overall width of 3 m. Pumping equipment was available for recirculation of the water and the sediment.Samples of suspended sediment were collected from the shallow and deep sections and analysed by Coulter Counter to obtain the particle size distributions. The distribution curves were found to be very similar for the main channel and the flood plains.Sand from the channel was labelled by fluorescent dye and inserted in the bed of the main channel so as to simulate a point release. Bed samples were collected at sections 5 m and 10 m downstream of the injection point and examined under UV light for their tracer proportions. It was found that the cross-sectional distribution of tracer concentration was approximately Gaussian indicating that there had been some sediment transfer to the flood plains.A two-dimensional diffusion model, which accounts for the movement in the longitudinal and lateral directions, has been applied to describe the transport and dispersion of the tracer particles. A best-fit overlay with the experimental results enabled the longitudinal and lateral dispersion coefficients to be established. The model results, for the distribution of tracer, are depicted in 2 and 3-dimensional form at a sequence of time intervals for up to 2 hours after tracer release.It was concluded that under steady state conditions there would be a constant transfer of sediment from the main channel to the flood plains; in fact, analysis showed that approximately 40% of a continuous tracer injection in the main channel would be transferred to the flood plains.

Full textAbstract:
The research reported in this thesis focuses on studying the effects of naturally occurring mycorrhiza and the role of forest floor in the cycling of P in fast growing forest plantations. In order to study the effects of mycorrhizae on forest soils fertility and the subsequent seedling growth response, radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) seedlings were grown in pots using the soil collected from a mature (23 year old) radiata pine plantation. The experiment was arranged in a two factor design. The treatments comprised of sterilized and unsterilized soil, either fertilized with superphosphate (100 KgP/ha) or remained non-fertilized. In an attempt to explore nutrient uptake mechanisms under contrasted soil fertility and under mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal conditions, Barber-Cushman nutrient uptake model was used to simulate nutrient uptake in these treatments.Mycorrhiza suppressed treatments showed low mineral NO3-N concentration and high autoclave N in soil. NH,-N concentration was not affected by any treatment. Water and bicarbonate soluble reactive P (SRP) and soluble non-reactive P (NRP) were not changed by mycorrhiza. Phosphatase activity greatly decreased in mycorrhiza suppressed treatments. Despite superphosphate addition increased all forms of P, acid phosphatase activity did not change by this factor.
Mycorrhiza suppression decreased seedling growth but not root length or surface. Non-mycorrhizal seedlings showed a much large proportion of roots thinner than 0.5 mm diameter. While in 7 month old seedling needle development was delayed in nonmycorrhizal pots, 4 months later all needles had the same size. At this stage of growth, plant adapted to nutritional shortages by loosing needles. Except in non-mycorrhizal-unfertilized seedlings, where growth was limited by P, in the other treatments growth was N and Mg limited. Mycorrhizal associations increased the specific uptake rate (mmol cm(-1) root) for N, P, K, S, Mg, Ca and Al. While under natural P availability conditions, P uptake was largely reduced after mycorrhiza suppression, under high P availability it was hardly increased by mycorrhiza. Barber-Cushman model was able to predict the relative variations in P and Mg uptake only in non-mycorrhizal treatments. While P uptake appeared to be controlled by root surface, Mg uptake was mostly regulated by root length.
To study the role of the forest floor in the cycling of nutrients, nutrient leaching through litter layers was monitored in a mature radiata pine plantation (18 year old) using 20 zerotension lysimeters installed underneath the Oa horizon.
Both P and N concentrations in the litter leachates showed large seasonal changes. Organic P compounds were more readily retained at the forest floor than organic N compounds. A large proportion of nutrients leached throughout the year (51% and 61% of total P and N exported respectively) took place during short periods of time. Most N transferred from the forest floor to the mineral soil was in organic form. In contrast, P was mostly transferred as inorganic P (SRP). The total amount of nutrient exported to the mineral soil were of the same order of magnitude than the yearly nutrient increases in aboveground biomass. There were evidences suggesting that a major content part of this nutrient flow originated in the forest canopy.
Using a new proposed anion resin fractionation technique, P forms in litter leachates and soil solution were compared. This technique showed that Murphy and Riley method to determine P concentration in solution was not able to distinguish clearly between inorganic and organic P in solution. One limitation of the fractionation technique was that it was not a clean separation of organic and inorganic P forms. However, it does appear to be useful for documenting relative changes in P forms when samples are contrasted.
In a mixed Eucalyptus forest in SE Australia, the effect of slash burning on surface soil P forms and on sorption and desortption of P were studied. According to fire intensity, three different microsites were selected: unburnt , burnt and intensely burnt.
The effects of fire on soil P were greatest in the surface soil horizons and depended upon fire intensity. After fire labile inorganic P (Bray I) increased from <1 mg kg(-1) to 5-13 mg kg(-1) in the ash bed. The increase in labile organic P (NaHCO2) contrasted with a decrease in total organic P (H2SO4) and less labile organic P (NaOH) in ashbed soils. The ashbed soil showed an increase insorption capacity in the 0-5 cm layer, but the sorbed P was generally less tightly bound to the solid phase.

Full textAbstract:
The processing of three-dimensional (3D) room models is an area of research undertaken by many academics and hobbyists due to multiple uses derived from the information obtained - such as the generation of a floor plan; an example of bridging the real and digital world. A floor plan is required when an existing room, floor, or building requires alteration. By having the floor plan in the digital domain it allows the user to alter the room via simulation and render the environment in a life-like manner to determine if the alterations will suffice. This is done using Computer Aided Design Software (CAD). Designing a new room or building would be done using CAD software. However, not all building's digital files are readily available or exist - making the creation of a floor plan necessary. The floor plan can created up by a person on pen and paper, or with using software tools and sensors. Commercial systems exist for this task but there are no automated, open-source systems that can do the same. Current research tends to focus on the processing algorithms and not the sensors or methods for capturing the environment. This dissertation deals with testing and evaluating off-the-shelf (OTS) sensors and the processing of 3D modelled rooms captured with one of these sensors. The tests performed on the OTS sensors determine the overall accuracy of the sensors for 3D room modelling. The rationale for designing and conducting these tests is to provide the community with suggested practical tests to assist in selecting an OTS sensor for 3D room modelling. The 3D room models are captured using an opensource application and are imported into custom software. The 3D models undergo pre-processing algorithms producing 2D results, which were further processed to determine the walls of rooms. The dimension information about these features are used to create a 2D floor plan. 3D modelled environments are inherently noisy, requiring efficient pre-processing to remove the noise without hampering processing performance of the 3D model. One of the largest contributors to noise and accuracy is the sensor. Selecting the appropriate sensor can mitigate the need for complex pre-processing algorithms and will improve overall processing time. The project was able to extract dimension information within an acceptable error. The tests that were designed and used for sensor testing were able to determine which sensor was the better choice for 3D room modelling. The optimal sensor was found to be Microsoft's Kinect1 . Tests were performed in which the Microsoft Kinect was required to map a room. The results show that dimensional information about the given scene could be successfully extracted with an average error of 4.60 %.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the transplantation of understory plants within the Cu-Ni smelterdamaged
urban forest of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, to increase plant biodiversity in an area
where natural colonization of understory species is delayed. The goal of my study was to
evaluate establishment of 16 m2 vegetation mats along a gradient of smelter disturbance and to
relate successful establishment to abiotic and biotic site characteristics. Specific investigations
were conducted to determine whether soil quality influenced root growth and transplant
establishment. Variables associated with smelter emissions and soil temperature were the best
predictors of successful transplant establishment of understory plant species, but relationships
were species specific. Also, root growth was not limited to organic soils of the transplant mat
and roots were able to grow into receptor site soil. Knowledge of environmental factors
influencing establishment will help to determine site locations and to select species to introduce
when transplanting understory species in future reclamation projects.

Water is an essential but vulnerable resource. A shortage of good quality drinking water is a threat to human health and society as a whole. Abundance of water in the form of floods can also be a serious threat which can have consequences for the drinking water supply. To reduce these risks there is a need for systematic risk reduction. In the last decades a risk management approach has been developed in the management of both flood and drinking water risks. This means that a reactive, ad hoc management is being replaced by a more proactive and systematic approach where risks are analysed and evaluated as a basis for prioritising counter-measures. The complex nature of water issues has also made it evident that there is a need for a holistic view of the management, involving a variety of actors and sectors. An integrated management approach to floods and water resources has emerged. This thesis aims to examine how local level risk management, especially risk assessments, of floods and drinking water supply have been or can be performed in practice in Sweden. The existing practices have been characterised in relation to current risk management frameworks. Furthermore, the thesis aims to investigate how the effects of flood on drinking water supply have been considered in risk assessment methods and in flood risk management plans, as well as whether flood and drinking water risks have been considered in an integrated manner. The studies are based on interviews with flood risk managers in Swedish municipalities and Swedish water producers as well as on document studies of risk assessment methods and flood risk management plans. There are large variations between different municipalities and water producers in how, and to what extent, risk assessments have been performed. Some have performed very little, if any, risk assessment while others have worked systematically. The tools used are often those that are promoted by national agencies and are often less advanced than those described in the literature. The risk assessments do not always cover all relevant aspects of the risk and few actors have discussed an acceptable risk level. Flood risk assessments focus mostly on the exposure of objects to flood and investigate the consequences of such an exposure only to a limited extent. The incomplete risk assessments may result in a biased view of the risk which in turn can lead to poor decision-making. The theoretical knowledge about risk management is in many cases low and there is still often a practical approach. Strategic and holistic approaches are mostly lacking. The consequences of flood on drinking water supply are not known in detail and are not considered in detail in risk assessments commonly used in Sweden. There is an awareness of the need to coordinate the management of flood and water resources. However, despite the good intentions regarding integration, there are few signs in the risk assessments and risk management plans that integration is actually occurring. Both the risk management approach and integrated management have started to be implemented in Swedish flood and drinking water risk management. It is however on a basic level and it is still a long way to go. Further guidance and knowledge about risk management as well as commitment from and collaboration among all actors concerned is needed to make this development possible.Vatten är en livsnödvändig men sårbar resurs. Brist på dricksvatten av god kvalitet är ett allvarligt hot mot människors hälsa och för hela samhället. Även överflöd av vatten i form av översvämningar kan vara ett allvarligt hot och kan bland annat får konsekvenser för dricksvattenförsörjningen. För att minska dessa risker finns det behov av systematiskt riskreducerande arbete. De senaste decennierna har systematisk riskhantering (risk management approach) utvecklats inom hanteringen av översvämningar och dricksvattenförsörjning. Detta innebär att en reaktiv och osystematisk hantering ersätts med en mer proaktiv och systematisk hantering baserad på analys och utvärdering av risker som stöd för beslutsfattande. Den komplexitet som vattenfrågor omfattar har också gjort det tydligt att det finns behov av en helhetsyn på hur vatten hanteras och att ett flertal aktörer och sektorer behöver involveras. Teorier om integrerad hantering (integrated management) har vuxit fram och börjat implementeras. Syftet med denna avhandling är att undersöka hur riskhantering, särskilt riskbedömningar, på lokal nivå utförs eller kan utföras i praktiken i Sverige. Praktiken har beskrivits och karakteriserats i förhållande till befintliga ramverk om riskhantering. Dessutom är syftet att undersöka hur konsekvenser av översvämningar på dricksvattenförsörjningen behandlas i metoder för riskbedömning och riskhanteringsplaner för översvämning liksom att studera om risker relaterade till översvämningar och dricksvatten har behandlats på ett integrerat sätt. Studierna är baserad på intervjuer med översvämningshanterare i svenska kommuner och svenska vattenproducenter samt dokumentstudier av metoder för riskbedömning och riskhanteringsplaner för översvämning. Det är stora skillnader mellan hur och i vilken omfattning olika kommuner och vattenproducenter har gjort riskbedömningar. Vissa har knappt gjort någon riskbedömning alls medan andra har arbetat mer systematiskt. De verktyg som används är ofta de som finns i handböcker från svenska myndigheter och är ofta mindre avancerade än vad som beskrivs i litteraturen. Riskbedömningarna täcker inte alltid all relevanta aspekter av risken och det är få som har diskuterat vad som är en acceptabel risknivå. Översvämningsbedömningarna har fokuserat på vilka objekt som exponeras vid en översvämning och möjliga konsekvenser på drabbade objekt har undersökts i mycket begränsad utsträckning. Ofullständiga riskbedömningar kan ge en felaktig bild av risken och därmed vara ett inkomplett underlag för beslutsfattande. Den teoretiska kunskapen om riskhantering är i många fall låg och många har en praktisk inställning till riskhanteringen. Det saknas oftast strategi och helhetstänkande. Kunskapen om konsekvenser av översvämning på dricksvattenförsörjningen är begränsad och behandlas inte heller i detalj i de metoder för riskbedömning som är mest vanligt förekommande i Sverige. Det finns en medvetenhet om behovet av att koordinera hanteringen av översvämning och vattenresurser. Trots de goda intentionerna om integrering visar riskbedömningar och riskhanteringsplaner få tecken på att integrering sker i praktiken. Både systematisk riskhantering och integrerad hantering är synsätt som har börjat utvecklas och implementeras inom svensk hantering av översvämningar och dricksvattenförsörjning. Det sker dock fortfarande på en relativt grundläggande nivå och det är en lång väg kvar. Det finns behov av ytterligare vägledning och mer kunskap om riskhantering liksom engagemang från och samarbete mellan alla berörda aktörer för att stödja vidare utveckling.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this research was to widen the knowledge of the physicochemical properties of cassava starch and flour and to understand the factors which influence their functional characteristics, including both genetic and environmental effects as well as processing procedures. A range of chemical and physical techniques which included the Brabender viscoamylograph, Bohlin CS rheometer, Brabender farinograph, WAXS, GPC, SEHPLC and Coulter counter have been used to examine the structural and behavioural characteristics of both cassava starch and flour. The results suggested that the functional behaviour of native cassava starches of different origins varies widely and appeared to be associated with molecular structure and the architecture of the starch granule. The viscosity and the mechanical properties of the pastes produced by gelatinization were determined by the degree of swelling and the amount and proportion of amylose and amylopectin in the solvent phase of the pastes. The amylopectin was present in the solvent phase in substantial quantities which varied between 37 and 57% of the total starch solubilized. In native cassava starches, the amylose appeared to have a high molecular weight (M, 19 x 105 - 11 x 105 ). The constituent chains of the amylopectin molecule did not vary in length with cassava starches of different origins, but their relative population did which was reflected in minor differences in the chromatographic profiles. Starch granules containing long chain amyloses and amylopectin with a high degree of branching were found to release reduced amounts of molecules into the liquid phase of the pastes, and vice versa Where the pastes contained a high proportion of amylopectin and long amylose molecules the resultant gel was surprisingly weak. Cassava starch processed to produce "sour" starch, or fermented, and sun dried starch, was found to have suffered degradation to an extent where 77-86 % of the starch was solubilized during aqueous heating. The extent of the degradation was influenced by the cassava cultivar. The "sour" starch proved superior to unfermented and fermented, oven dried starches in the production of baked baked products with an expanded texture. Starch extracted from cassava roots which had been stored for a short period, during which physiological deteriorative processes could have occurred, was found to show a slight reduction in the pasting viscosity which was not related to granular or molecular size or organization. Rural, factory-extracted starch was found to have a reduced paste viscosity as a consequence of fermentation and contamination with peel residues from the roots. Cassava flour properties were influenced by the conditions of preparation. Drying temperature, milling procedure and particle size could be selected and controlled to give cassava flours of the desired functional properties.

The forest floor represents the uppermost organic and organicenriched mineral soil horizons. They have been formed by the deposition of organic material and the subsequent biologically mediated
decomposition. The forest floor influences rooting-zone temperature, aeration, moisture, and nutrient conditions, and hence, forest productivity. Considering the importance of the forest floor, and the fact that it is exposed to disturbance (being the surface layer), we need to assess the potential impacts our logging practices may have.
Clearcutting, one of the contentious silvicultural practices used in British Columbia, is imputed to most adversely affect ecosystems and sustainability. We assessed the long-term impact of clearcutting
on the forest floor by documenting changes in the thickness, chemical and biotic properties of the humus form across a chronosequence of forest stands. The study was located in the largest and most representative portion of the coastal rainforest the Very Wet Maritime Coastal Western Hemlock (CWHvm) subzone.

We construct a family of Lagrangian submanifolds in the Landau-Ginzburg mirror to the projective plane equipped with a binodal cubic curve as anticanonical divisor. These objects correspond under mirror symmetry to the powers of the twisting sheaf 0(1), and hence their Floer cohomology groups form an algebra isomorphic to the homogeneous coordinate ring. An interesting feature is the presence of a singular torus fibration on the mirror, of which the Lagrangians are sections. This gives rise to a distinguished basis of the Floer cohomology and the homogeneous coordinate ring parameterized by fractional integral points in the singular affine structure on the base of the torus fibration. The algebra structure on the Floer cohomology is computed using the symplectic techniques of Lefschetz fibrations and the TQFT counting sections of such fibrations. We also show that our results agree with the tropical analog proposed by Abouzaid-Gross-Siebert. Extensions to a restricted class of singular affine manifolds and to mirrors of the complements of components of the anticanonical divisor are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This research hypothesises a statistical positive significant correlation between job satisfaction and absenteeism among the shop floor workers of a motor manufacturing plant in the impoverished province of the Eastern Cape in South Africa. According to the literature review, two schools of thought exist that argue on the nature of the relationship. One believes that absence from work is in some way a natural consequence of job dissatisfaction, i.e. arguing for a job satisfaction-absenteeism relationship. The second one argues for a no relationship, arguing that absence is a result of habitual behaviour and or behaviours influenced by socioeconomic factors such as poverty that affect the employees' ability and pressure to attend work. A sample of 150 workers was randomly selected from the 2500 shop floor workers. The Job Descriptive Index (lDI) questionnaires were used to measure the satisfaction index of the workers. The absence statistics for the sample workers were gathered from the organisation's Human Resources department and statistical tests for correlation and regression were conducted on the two variables - lDI and absence data. Contrary to the expectations of the study, the results showed that overall job satisfaction and absenteeism were not correlated. It concluded that the job dissatisfaction theory of absenteeism is empirically unsupportable and alternative conceptualisations of absence contributors and potentially fruitful research strategies are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Flooding is the most devastating natural hazard in Pakistan and the recent flooding has demonstrated its severeness. Floods are common all over the country, though the province of Sindh experience the most damages. River Indus flows on a ridge here and once the surplus water during flood events leave the main channel does not return back. Therefore it is very important to adapt to this disaster. This study aims at identifying ways to address the problem of floods in upper Sindh for which Sukkur district was chosen. Questionnaire survey and interviews were conducted in three talukas of the district in the aftermath of recent floods (2010, 2011 and 2012) to provide a baseline study for Sustainable Flood Disaster Management Plan for the upper Sindh region. Recommendations were put to reduce the flood losses for the future floods.

Full textAbstract:
Flooding is the dominant factor structuring riparian plant communities along large, low elevation streams, but it is less clear what role flooding plays in the structure and composition of riparian plant communities along mountain streams. In the first part of this study, I examined the influence of four environmental variables (flood frequency, microtopography, light availability, and soil texture) and spatial heterogeneity on riparian plant community structure in seven study areas along mountain streams in western Montana, USA. Multivariate and spatial statistics were used to determine the relative strength of each set of factors and their interactions in explaining riparian plant community structure. Flooding influenced vegetation characteristics by an indirect pathway through microtopography in all study areas, whereas the direct influence of flooding was found commonly only in three study areas. Other consistent direct influences included light (60%) and space (87%). Direct and indirect influences of flood frequency through microtopography, and the direct influences of light and vegetation patch structure should be included in predictive models of riparian plant community structure in mountain streams. Boundary analysis showed that microtopography was an important factor for boundary maintenance of riparian plant communities. In the second part of the study, the effective flood frequency was determined initially by partial Mantel tests between inundation extent associated with each flood frequency and plant communities, and the results were compared to floristic characteristics derived from DCA and Indicator Species Analysis. Flood frequencies ranging from one to eight years were most strongly associated with the understory and overall plant community structure, whereas overstory communities were influenced by both frequent (¡Ü 9 year) and large infrequent (¡Ý35 year) floods. Riparian plant communities in mountain streams are mostly influenced by frequent flooding but large floods are also important for maintaining spatial heterogeneity.

Em vista disso, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a influência de doses de fósforo no acúmulo de nutrientes, na produção e qualidade de sementes de couve-flor. O experimento foi conduzido de 01/03 a 29/08/2011, na Fazenda Experimental em São Manuel-SP (FCA/UNESP). Foram estudadas cinco doses de fósforo (0, 300, 600, 900 e 1200 kg ha-1 de P2O5), no delineamento experimental em blocos inteiramente casualizados, com quatro repetições. Foram avaliadas características vegetativas das plantas (altura, massa da matéria fresca e seca da parte aérea), acúmulo de nutrientes pela parte aérea, sementes e no total da planta ao final do ciclo, produção de sementes por planta e qualidade das mesmas (massa de mil sementes, teste de germinação, primeira contagem do teste de germinação e emergência em bandeja). Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e regressão polinomial. Obteve-se efeito quadrático para a produção de sementes em função das doses de fósforo, sendo a dose de 783 e 870 kg ha-1 de P2O5 as que proporcionaram maiores massa e número de sementes por planta, respectivamente. A qualidade das sementes não foi afetada pela adubação fosfatada, com exceção da massa de mil sementes que se ajustou ao modelo quadrático. A ordem decrescente do acúmulo total de nutrientes foi: potássio > nitrogênio > cálcio > enxofre > fósforo > magnésio, e pelas sementes foi: nitrogênio > enxofre > potássio > fósforo > cálcio > magnésio
Due to the scarcity of information related to the effect of fertilization on yield and quality of vegetable seeds, especially in species that have an increase in the cycle, such as cauliflower, there is a need for studies to determine nutrient demand and rate of nutrients to support the recommendation that provides high seed production with high quality. As a result, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of phosphorus rates added to the soil in nutrient accumulation, production and quality of cauliflower seeds. The experiment was conducted from 01/03/2011 to 29/08/2011, at the Experimental Farm São Manuel and seeds evaluations were made in the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences (FCA / UNESP). It was studied five rates of phosphorus (0, 300, 600, 900 and 1200 kg ha-1 of P2O5) in a randomized complete block design, with four replications. It was evaluated vegetative characteristics of plants (height, fresh and dry weight), accumulation of nutrients in the shoots, seeds and whole plant at the end of the cycle, seeds production per plant and its quality (thousand seeds weight, standard germination, first count of germination test and emergence in tray). Data were submited to analysis of variance and regression. It was obtained a quadratic effect on seed production depending on phosphorus rates, with the rate of 783 and 870 kg ha-1 of P2O5 providing the largest mass and number of seeds per plant, respectively. Seed quality was not affected by fertilization, except for a thousand seeds weight that set the quadratic model. The decreasing order of nutrients accumulated in whole plant was: potassium > nitrogen > calcium > sulphur > phosphorus > magnesium, and in the seeds was: nitrogen > sulphur > potassium > phosphorus > calcium > magnesium

Exist computational models for floor plan layout generation rely on generate-and-test method, and require knowledge engineers as human translators between designers and computers. To extend the problem solving abilities and to avoid the knowledge acquisition bottleneck of current design computation tools, systems allowing the problem-solver to learn from experience are necessary. One possibility of knowledge acquisition is to learn from design cases supplied by designers. Case-based reasoning provides a model for applying past experience directly to new problems, which emphasizes on memory retrieval rather than on computing solutions. The retrieved case may either match the current situation exactly or need modification. This leads to the fundamental assumptions of this research that applying case-based reasoning and artificial neural networks on knowledge-based design systems. In order to investigate the assumptions, this research proposes computational models for layout design which draws on traditional symbolic approach of case-based reasoning in machine learning together with a numerical approach of artificial neural networks. As well as, computer systems are developed to demonstrate different approaches of proposed model. The results show that applying case-based reasoning and artificial neural networks for building knowledge-based design systems are feasible approaches.

Recently, many researches are focused on the concept of“smart home” technology. Its primary purpose is to improve the inhabitant’s quality of life. In order to achieve the purpose, the system must have the capability to aware the locations and actions of inhabitants. It means that system has to know the spaces in a home. Many researches define the spaces manually. It not only wastes time but also reduces the system adaptability. In order to solve the above problem, a space extraction method is proposed. It can extract spaces from floor maps. The extracted spaces are stored in XML format. Experimental results show that the simple space extraction ratio is 81 percent and the complex space extraction ratio is 84.2 percent. A space editor is also presented to increase the efficiency on adjusting spaces.
