Abstract:

This thesis presents and develops a theory of self-reduction. This process is used to map instances of combinatorial optimisation problems onto smaller, more easily solvable instances in such a way that a solution of the former can be readily re-constructed, without loss of information or quality, from a solution of the latter. Self-reduction rules are surveyed for the Graph Colouring Problem, the Maximum Clique Problem, the Steiner Problem in Graphs, the Bin Packing Problem and the Set Covering Problem. This thesis introduces the problem of determining the maximum sequence of self-r

Abstract:

Flow metering plays a major role in modern life. In the process industry, flow metering is critical in industries ranging from food processing to cosmetics. It is also essential in custody transfer or billing, as flow meters are present in gas pumps and district heating substations. In the district heating industry, the ultrasonic flow meter has become the desired meter in many of its applications because it has a low cost while being accurate. This accuracy is however sensitive to installation effects and other sources of errors. This thesis stems from research that addresses the recognition

O processo mais promissor foi aquele em que a mistura minério de ferro e material carbonáceo eram aquecidos a altas temperaturas, promovendo a reação com formação do ferro metálico.

Neste processo o minério de ferro não passa pelo estado líquido como ocorre com o ferro-gusa. Isto confere ao ferro-esponja algumas desvantagens que prejudicam o seu desempenho nas aciarias.

The current trends in the growth of the scale and complexity of society's workload demands and the systems built to cope with these demands increases the anxiety surrounding service disruptions. Self-adaptive mechanisms instill dynamic behavior to systems in an effort to improve their resilience to runtime changes that would otherwise result in service disruption or failure, such as faults, errors, and attacks.

Abstract:

In this thesis, I defend a non-egologic pure consciousness which is the initial position of Husserl in the Logical Investigations. There is anti transcendental ego argumentations in which I claim that self alienation of the &quot<br>transcendental ego&quot<br>, incomplete reduction, the presence of the pre-reflective transcendental ego are the reasons to leave the claim about the existence of the &quot<br>transcendental ego&quot<br>. I also claim that the possible solution of the mind-body problem depends on the denial of the &quot<br>transcendental ego&quot<br>in the frame of phenomenology. I

Abstract:

Bakgrund och problem: Majoriteten av försäljningen mellan företag, samt mellan företag och offentlig sektor sker via handelskrediter. Detta leder till att företagen ofta blir utsatta för risker i form av sena och uteblivna betalningar. I sådana situationer finns det behov av riskreduceringsmekanismer som ska reducera och minimera dessa risker. Mekanismerna för reducering av risker har vi fördelat i två kategorier, privata och offentliga. Avsikten med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka av dessa mekanismer som har störst inverkan på beviljandet av handelskrediter. Den här studien är den första av

Abstract:

This thesis explored the relationships between 1) Self-compassion 2) Cognitive Emotion Regulation and 3) Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and teacher stress in a foreign international school setting. The retrospective, multi-tiered study investigated a total of 177 expatriated teachers working in multiple international schools around the globe; at least 17 of whom indicated that they had completed a MBSR course. A mixed-methods approach was used over three stages utilising the following instruments: 1) an adapted stress impact survey, 2) Teacher Interview Protocol (TIP), 3) the short

Abstract:

The ability to reduce flexural vibrations of lightweight structures has been a goal for many researchers. A type of transducer-controller system that accomplishes this is a piezoelectric patch connected to an electrical impedance, or shunt. The piezoelectric patch converts the vibrational strain energy of the structure to which it is bonded into electrical energy. This converted electrical energy is then modified by the shunt to influence to mechanical response. There are many types of shunt circuits which have demonstrated effective control of flexural systems. Of interest in this work is the

Abstract:

A presente tese teve como objetivo fornecer subsídios teóricos e experimentais com vistas à reciclagem da carepa gerada em usinas mini-mills através de briquetes autorredutores para uso em FEA. Para atingir os objetivos vislumbrados, o trabalho foi estruturado em quatro principais tópicos: estudo de caracterização e de redutibilidade da carepa, escolha e caracterização do redutor para uso nos briquetes, elaboração e caracterização da mistura e ensaios de laboratório para avaliação do desempenho dos briquetes autorredutores. Os estudos de caracterização da carepa indicaram que este resíduo é co
