Abstract:

True Tales of the Atom documents the creative process in the making of the film of the same name. It describes the intent and result of each step in the filmmaking process, including esthetic, budget and technical decisions. How the inclusion of animation increased the complexity and technical demands on the postproduction. It shows the problems encountered and overcome working on a production alone. Finally, it details the successful completion primarily due to extensive preplanning. The film on which the paper is based is a non-traditional look at several little-known aspects of civilian nuclear power, with a look at the media that could have helped to shape current attitudes in the United States about the technology.

Abstract:

The demand for collaborative, easy to use robots has increased during the last decades in hope of incorporating the use of robotics in smaller production scales, with easier and faster programming. Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) are showing promising potential in robotics and this project has attempted to automatically solve a specific assembly task with Behavior trees (BTs). BTs can be used to elegantly divide a problem into different subtasks, while being modular and easy to modify. The main focus is put towards developing a Genetic algorithm (GA), that uses the fundamentals of biological evolution to produce BTs that solves the problem at hand. As a comparison to the GA result, a so-called Automated planner was developed to solve the problem and produce a benchmark BT. With a realistic physics simulation, this project automatically generated BTs that builds a tower of Duplo-like bricks and achieved successful results. The results produced by the GA showed a variety of possible solutions, a portion resembling the automated planner's results but also alternative, perhaps more elegant, solutions. As a conclusion, the approach used in this project shows promising signs and has many possible improvements for future research.

Abstract:

A representative selection of taies ("Le Hibou," "Le Spectre de Babylas," "Le Baiser fatal," "Sang et or," "Baptême de sang," "Petite scène d'un grande drame," "Patriotisme," and "Les Marionnettes") from Pamphile LeMay's Contes vrais is translated into English. An introduction to the translation provides a biographical sketch of the author, an overview of his work, and a comparison of his work with that of other French- and English-Canadian writers of his day. Contes vrais in discussed with reference to the corpus of LeMay's work, particularly the earlier poems such as Les Vengeances which inform it. The French-Canadian conte is discussed, and its roots in the oral tradition of Québec are delineated. The translated taies are analysed in terms of the norms of the genre.

Abstract:

Efficient model checking is important in order to make this type of software verification useful for systems that are complex in their structure. If a system is too large or complex then model checking does not simply scale, i.e., it could take too much time to verify the system. This is one strong argument for focusing on making model checking faster. Another interesting aim is to make model checking so fast that it can be used for predicting scheduling decisions for real-time schedulers at runtime. This of course requires the model checking to complete within a order of milliseconds or even microseconds. The aim is set very high but the results of this thesis will at least give a hint on whether this seems possible or not. The magic card for (maybe) making this possible is called Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). This thesis will investigate if and how a model checking algorithm can be ported and executed on a GPU. Modern GPU architectures offers a high degree of processing power since they are equipped with up to 1000 (NVIDIA GTX 590) or 3000 (NVIDIA Tesla K10) processor cores. The drawback is that they offer poor thread-communication possibilities and memory caches compared to CPU. This makes it very difficult to port CPU programs to GPUs.The example model (system) used in this thesis represents a real-time task scheduler that can schedule up to three periodic self-suspending tasks. The aim is to verify, i.e., find a feasible schedule for these tasks, and do it as fast as possible with the help of the GPU.

Abstract:

<p>By reading three 21st century books am I trying to see how the female friendship is described in literature of our days. The books are Rebell med frusna fötter by Johanna Nilsson, Lutherska badet by Unni Drougge and I närheten av solen by Hanna Wallsten. They are all written by Swedish authors and taking place in Stockholm in the early years of 2000. I am doing a critical reading against the roles of “heteronormativitet” as the word is described by Tiina Rosenberg and Fanny Ambjörnsson trying to see how the characters are following or breaking these roles. The books are also read comparative to each other. I am doing what I call a “väninneläsning” where the female friends are being the narrative engine in the story, helping the main character to construct a new and stronger subjective self. My conclusions by this reading are that the friendship is opening up for a change of the roles of relation(ships) between women and man. It creates a possibility of a life were the women can choose to live in a “vänskapsfamilj”, a friendship family. The power of choice gives her a new strength in demanding equal rights compared to the man.</p>

Abstract:

The Anthropocene epoch initiated by human in uence on its Earth system (biosphere, hydrosphere, ...) leads to an irreversible change: Global warming. Climate change alters all existing natural processes, including the ones related to groundwater. The present paper aims to study the occurrence's probability of two particular groundwater risks: the generation of thermokarst lakes in permafrost environment and its subsequent thermal consequences in the surroundings as well as seawater intrusion inducing saltwater contamination in pumping wells. These processes are dependent of physical parameters to which is attached uncertainty. Consequently, two uncertainty analysis methods have been applied to determine the probability of occurence of these undesired events: Fault Tree Analysis and Monte Carlo Simulation. Beside the rough approximation performed to evaluate the probability of thermokarst lake occurence (48%) and of talik development under these latter (73%) by means of fault tree analysis, these high failure probabilities translate the urge to slow down global warming due to the irreversible effect on permafrost environment, meaning its thawing and releasing of trapped methane in the atmosphere. On the other hand, Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to compare dfferent scenarii related to seawater intrusion in Akrotiri aquifer in Cyprus. The results once again translate the disastrous effect of climate change regarding the probability of occurence of these unwanted events. Indeed, a failure probability around 6 times greater (43%) is observed in the climate change scenario with respect to the reference scenario (7%). Uncertainty analysis is good methodology to apply to environmental concerns to quantify the occurence's probability of these undesired events. This would urge public authorities to perform decision making in order to avoid or reduce the failure's probability of these groundwater issues that have irreversible consequences.

Abstract:

El fundador de la Terapia de la Imperfección, Ricardo Peter, construyó su teoría sobre tres actitudes centrales: El ansia de la Perfección "Perf", la aceptación de límites existenciales "ALE" y la aceptación del ser, adoptada como autovaloración nuclear "AN". En ausencia de estudios cuantitativos, esta investigación propuso construir instrumentos para medir estas actitudes. Los constructos ALE y AN, por su complejidad conceptual, igual que afectiva, presentaron un reto mayor para su definición operacional y la redacción de sus reactivos. Metodológicamente era necesario construir primero tres instrumentos por separado, para luego depurar los mejores reactivos de cada uno, al interactuar todos en los análisis factoriales de tres sucesivos instrumentos combinados, mejorando de aplicación en aplicación los reactivos. El factor Perf mostró tener una sólida validez de constructo al diferenciar un grupo de personas anancásticas, y por otros criterios de validez discriminante y convergente. El factor ALE diferenció sujetos según los criterios establecidos. AN no era autoestima ni cuadró en el auto concepto. AN era más elevada en los mejores estudiantes y deportistas, y más baja en depresivos internos. Cumpliendo además las expectativas de validez de criterio, AN promete ser una nueva dimensión en la teoría de la personalidad.

"Efecto del tiempo de almacenamiento en las características fisicoquímicas, microbiológicas y antioxidantes de tres presentaciones de nopal: fresco, escaldado y seco." Thesis, Universidad de las Américas Puebla, 2010. http://catarina.udlap.mx/u_dl_a/tales/documentos/lia/flores_a_md/.

Abstract:

El nopal es un alimento altamente producido en México que cuenta con excelente calidad nutricional; sin embargo, es muy perecedero. Si bien se han realizado investigaciones sobre el nopal, los estudios sobre el efecto que tiene el almacenamiento en varias de sus características son escasos. En esta investigación se estudió la actividad de la enzima polifenoloxidasa en el nopal bajo distintos tiempos de escaldado. Adicionalmente, se estudió el efecto que tiene el almacenamiento (0, 1, 2, 3 y 4 semanas) al vacío a 4 °C, en las propiedades fisicoquímicas (color, textura, humedad, fibra cruda, sólidos insolubles en alcohol, sólidos solubles totales, acidez titulable y pH), microbiológicas (carga de bacterias mesófilas aerobias, así como cantidad de mohos y levaduras) y antioxidantes (compuestos fenólicos, ácido ascórbico, clorofila y capacidad antioxidante) de nopal fresco desinfectado por inmersión en una solución de cloro y de nopal escaldado. También se determinó el efecto del tiempo de almacenamiento (0, 2, 4 y 6 semanas) a 25 °C en los compuestos antioxidantes (compuestos fenólicos, ácido ascórbico, clorofila y capacidad antioxidante) de nopal seco en polvo. El tiempo de escaldado escogido fue el de 30 segundos, con base en la actividad de la polifenoloxidasa y en la apariencia general de la muestra.<br>(cont.) En cuanto a las características fisicoquímicas, el contenido de humedad fue similar para el nopal fresco desinfectado (FD) y para el escaldado (ES) manteniéndose, por lo general, constante durante el almacenamiento (entre 95.47+0.24 y 96.28+0.28% aproximadamente). A su vez, la firmeza de la muestra FD no cambió significativamente, pero la de la muestra ES disminuyó; en general tuvo valores entre 2.05+0.56 y 2.68+0.77 N. Las dos presentaciones de nopal presentaron distintos porcentajes de acidez, que se mantuvieron entre 0.52+0.01 y 0.68+0.01; la acidez del nopal FD tuvo una ligera disminución con el tiempo, la del FD presentó distintas fluctuaciones. La muestra FD y la ES tuvieron contenidos de fibra cruda y de sólidos insolubles en alcohol similares mismos que, por lo general, no cambiaron con el tiempo (entre 4.93+1.20 y 7.99+0.34% en b.s. para fibra y entre 2.26+0.04 y 2.55+0.03% en b.h. para sia). A su vez, el comportamiento de los sólidos solubles totales (con valores entre 3.0 y 4.4 °Bx), si bien fue similar para ambas presentaciones, no se mantuvo constante durante la prueba.<br>(cont.) En lo que a pH se refiere (entre 4.25 y 4.46), fue mayor en la muestra FD que en la ES. Por su parte, las dos presentaciones tuvieron cambios de color que indicaron tendencia al oscurecimiento (decrecimiento del parámetro L) y disminución del color verde fresco (incremento del parámetro a), siendo mayor esta disminución para el caso del nopal escaldado. El cambio neto de color fue mayor para el nopal FD que para el ES, siendo de 18.76 para el primero y 12.09 para el segundo. La presentación fresca desinfectada excedió el límite de bacterias mesófilas aerobias establecido por la NOM-093-SSA1-1994 (1.5 x 105 UFC/g) a partir de la tercera semana, mientras que la muestra escaldada lo alcanzó a partir de la segunda semana de almacenamiento. Con el tiempo, también la cantidad de mohos y levaduras aumentó para la muestra FD; en cambio, la muestra ES no presentó crecimiento de mohos, pero sí de levaduras. Por otra parte, de seis sistemas extractantes evaluados para las características antioxidantes, los mejores rendimientos se obtuvieron empleando la mezcla etanol al 96% - agua destilada (relación 70:30 v/v) para compuestos fenólicos totales y agua destilada para capacidad antioxidante, mismos que fueron ocupados a lo largo del almacenamiento. El contenido de los compuestos fenólicos totales mostró una tendencia creciente para las muestras FD y ES, así como una tendencia constante para la muestra seca; los valores se mantuvieron entre 33.55+2.10 y 45.44+1.01 mgEAG por 1 g de s.s.<br>(cont.) de nopal. A su vez, la capacidad antioxidante de las muestras FD y ES aumentó con el tiempo, aunque la del escaldado fue menor. La capacidad antioxidante de la muestra en polvo fue mayor que la de las otras presentaciones. Los valores de capacidad antioxidante se mantuvieron entre 19.72+2.40 y 53.92+3.44 mg equivalentes a Trolox por 1 g de s.s. de nopal. Por otro lado, el contenido de ácido ascórbico se vio reducido a causa del tiempo de almacenamiento y también del tratamiento térmico en la muestra ES y la seca, encontrándose entre 2.22+0.79 y 0.45+0.06 mg de ácido ascórbico por 1 g de s.s. de nopal. Su contenido fue más alto para el nopal FD, intermedio para el nopal ES y más bajo para el seco. Los valores de clorofila a y b de las muestras FD y ES disminuyeron con el almacenamiento. No hubo cambios en el contenido de clorofila a y c del nopal seco, pero la b disminuyó un poco. El nopal FD presentó variaciones en el contenido de clorofila c, no siendo así para el nopal ES, que no tuvo cambios significativos de este parámetro.

Abstract:

Lo scopo di questo elaborato è quello di fornire una panoramica sull’ambito della traduzione audiovisiva, e in particolare del sottotitolaggio, tramite la creazione di sottotitoli in italiano per tre episodi del talk show Truth & Iliza e la loro successiva analisi. L’elaborato è strutturato su tre capitoli. Il primo capitolo è incentrato sull’inquadramento teorico della disciplina all’interno dei Translation Studies. Dopo aver definito la traduzione audiovisiva e averne elencato le diverse modalità, ci si soffermerà nel dettaglio sul sottotitolaggio, analizzandone caratteristiche e convenzioni. Infine, si discuterà di due elementi che nella realizzazione di sottotitoli possono diventare problematici, ovvero l’uso dell’umorismo e dei riferimenti culturospecifici. Nel secondo capitolo verrà poi presentato il prodotto scelto per il lavoro di sottotitolaggio. Dopo aver inquadrato il programma all’interno del genere infotainment, verrà fornita un’analisi delle peculiarità del talk show e ne verrà presentata la storia. Ci si concentrerà poi sull’analisi di Truth & Iliza, discutendo dei temi trattati, della conduttrice e di tutti quei tratti dell’oralità o del genere che possono risultare problematici in fase di sottotitolaggio. Il terzo capitolo sarà poi interamente dedicato all’analisi traduttologica dei sottotitoli creati. Una prima parte sarà dedicata alla metodologia di lavoro e verranno presentate le motivazioni che hanno portato alla scelta delle puntate, la proposta di collocazione e i parametri adottati. Di seguito, per ogni puntata tradotta verranno esposte le principali problematiche affrontate con l’analisi del testo di partenza e della soluzione proposta. Dopo le conclusioni, nell’Appendice sono riportate per intero le tabelle contenenti i sottotitoli creati.

Abstract:

Programming efficiently in extremely high thread count environments can be both challenging and tedious for the modern programmer. Task based programming models provide an abstraction of the low--level system details by instead allowing a program to be expressed as a set of tasks to executed by the system. However, these abstractions often have an associated performance overhead that can cut into the benefits of running with many threads. The Chunks and Tasks programming model is one such task based abstraction model. The Chunks and Tasks CHT-MPI C++ library, developed at Uppsala University, follows this programming model. The CHT-MPI library works by first spawning a set of worker processes. Tasks are then assigned to the workers in a dynamic fashion so that those who complete their tasks faster than others are automatically assigned additional tasks. This is done to help with load balancing across the system. Workers may also steal tasks from each other. Each worker process may have many threads. In this thesis, the CHT--MPI library is modified to reduce inter-thread communication within individual worker processes. Currently, each worker process has a single master list of all tasks to be executed by that worker. This list is shared between all threads within a single worker. This list sharing can create a performance bottleneck when the tasks are relatively short and the list is being modified often. Adding support to the library for thread-local task trees reduces the number of times that threads must synchronize with the master list. With this new feature, a worker process with twenty threads that was assigned a set of highly granular tasks can see a two times boost in performance when compared to the old version of the library. This level of performance improvement was observed for dense matrix-matrix multiplication and integration benchmarks. This is an important result as being able to effectively scale programs of a fixed problem size across an ever increasing number of threads necessitates being able to efficiently execute them in smaller and smaller parts.

Abstract:

This investigation identifies how CAD models of typical automotive body assemblies could be defined to allow a continuous optimisation of the number of iterations required for the final design and the number of variants on the basis of Parametric Associative Design (PAD) and how methodologies for the development of surfaces, parts and assemblies of the automotive body can be represented and structured for a multiple re-use in a collaborative environment of concept phase of a Product Evolution (Formation) Process (PEP). The standardisation of optimised processes and methodologies and the enhanced interaction between all parties involved in product development could lead to improve product quality and reduce development time and hence expenses. The fundamental principles of PAD, the particular methodologies used in automotive body design and the principles of methodical development and design in general are investigated. The role which automotive body engineers play throughout the activities of the PEP is also investigated. The distribution of design work in concept teams of automotive body development and important methodologies for the design of prismatic profile areas is critically analysed. To address the role and distribution of work, 25 group work projects were carried out in cooperation with the automotive industry. Large assemblies of the automotive bodies were developed. The requirements for distributed design work have been identified and improved. The results of the investigation point towards a file based, well structured administration of a concept design, with a zone based approach. The investigation was extended to the process chain of sections, which are used for development of surfaces, parts and assemblies. Important methods were developed, optimised and validated with regard to an update safe re-use of 3D zone based CAD models instead of 2D sections. The thesis presents a thorough description of the research undertaken, details the experimental results and provides a comprehensive analysis of them. Finally it proposes a unique methodology to a zone based approach with a clearly defined process chain of sections for an update-safe re-use of design models.

Full text

Abstract:

Simple content analysis methods, such as the Bechdel test and measuring percentage of female talk time or characters, have seen a surge of attention from mainstream media and in social media the last couple of years. Underlying assumptions are generally shared with the gender role socialization model and consequently, an importance is stated, due to a high degree to which impressions from media shape in particular young children’s identification processes. For young girls, the Disney Princesses franchise (with Frozen included) stands out as the number one player commercially as well as in customer awareness. The vertical lineup of Disney princesses spans from the passive and domestic working Snow White in 1937 to independent and super-power wielding princess Elsa in 2013, which makes the line of films an optimal test subject in evaluating above-mentioned simple content analysis methods. As a control, a meta-study has been conducted on previous academic studies on the same range of films. The sampled research, within fields spanning from qualitative content analysis and semiotics to coded content analysis, all come to the same conclusions regarding the general changes over time in representations of female characters. The objective of this thesis is to answer whether or not there is a correlation between these changes and those indicated by the simple content analysis methods, i.e. whether or not the simple popular methods are in general coherence with the more intricate academic methods.<br><p>Betyg VG (skala IG-VG)</p>

Abstract:

The amount of digital natural language text collections available nowadays is huge and it has been growing at an exponential rate. All this information can be easily accessed by individuals of several nationalities and cultures. This leads to the development of new and innovative techniques and tools, for processing and indexing these texts, in fields of research such as Machine Translation, Natural Language Processing or Cross-Language Information Retrieval. Over the years, a lot of important work has been developed, using efficient data structures, such as suffix arrays, for fast pattern matching and to determine statistics. However, these data structures require a considerable amount of space, around four times the text size, which is a problem considering the amount of bilingual texts available in so many languages. This thesis proposal introduces a two-layer bilingual framework based on compact data structures, for indexing parallel texts, translation memories and bilingual lexica, and their alignments, in pairs of two different languages. Besides a word-based suffix array implementation, this thesis proposal presents a solution based on two byte-codes wavelet trees, one for each text, and bitmaps to represent the alignment. Additionally, it introduces a skip-based bilingual search procedure that speeds up the search time response of the framework, for operations over pairs of word,multi-word or discontiguous phrases. For indexing and querying over aligned parallel corpora, the bilingual framework presents a space consumption around 50% of the alignment-annotated corpora size, against the 160% of the non compressed approach. In terms of search time response, the compressed approach is slower than the one based on suffix arrays as expected. The skip-based bilingual search procedure improves the time response from the original bilingual search algorithm from 1.6x to 2.3x in average. With such space requirements, the framework is able to represent huge amounts of data in main memory, avoiding the considerably slower disk accesses, and to support tasks such as translation, text alignment, word-sense disambiguation or context analysis.

Abstract:

Love exists in many forms: love between family members, love between friends and significant others, and generally, love of a person for every entity or object in-between. From love between a man and fish, to the love of alcohol, familial or fraternal relationships, and, finally, romantic love, Raymond Carver and Tobias Wolff depict love in its many forms in their short fiction. This thesis specifically explores the portrayal of romantic love in Carver’s story “Beginners” from the collection Beginners and Wolff’s story “Maiden Voyage” from In the Garden of the North American Martyrs. The characters in these stories form a spectrum of love. From the ideal love of Henry and Anna Gates or the modern, simple love, of Nick and Laura in “Beginners,” to the passionless love of Howard and Nora in “Maiden Voyage,” by analyzing the relationships in these stories this thesis concludes that love does exists differently for every marriage. While all relationships can have love in a broad sense, some of these loves are more powerful and lasting than others.
