Renovación de mercado novoandino en Cajamarca

This thesis develops a renovation project for an improvised market with more than 80 years old, located in the historic center of the city of Cajamarca, this building to date shows frank deterioration in urban and architectural infrastructure, damaging the security of however, these factors have not stopped this activity, on the contrary, they are still in force and constantly growing. 

As a starting point, the Novoandina typology is explained, and how it manages to fuse the culture, gastronomy and identity of a city in a single space. It also describes the institutional aspects in charge, which would facilitate the viability of this project. The determination of the place is justified by justifying the operation of all the supply markets located throughout the city of Cajamarca. 

It is proposed to the market as a diffuser of culture, identity and tourism. In this way the story also enters into the investigation and how each design factor progressively improved the typology of this building. To some extent it delves into the conceptual framework and emphasis (flexible architecture), in referential projects, regarding formal, functional, technological and geographical aspects; and how they are used for design. 

​ Next, the architectural program summarizes characteristics of the local user and the architectural program is exemplified through spatial characteristics and referential projects. Finally, the study of the place allows to know specific details of the project and thus have final design criteria for the development of the building.
Seasonality, barrage (Farakka) regulated hydrology and flood scenarios of the Ganga River: a study based on MNDWI and simple Gumbel model

The hydrology of the Ganga River is mainly characterized by high monsoon rainfall and seasonal variability in discharge flow. The study is focuses on both the up and down-streams of Farakka barrage. It has been executed with the help of Modified Normalized Difference Water Index using Landsat satellite images (2014), satellite based discharge data and Gumbel’s flood frequency analysis. The study aims to analyse the impacts of seasonality, floods and the construction of Farakka barrage on hydrology of the Ganga River. The study reflects higher values in annual maximum discharge near Jangipur which is probably a resultant of the extra water release from the barrage during the strong monsoon flow. The reduction of R2 value during the non-monsoon season in comparison to the monsoon season is because of the control of Farakka barrage on the discharge release. The monsoon season discharge is influenced more by the barrage than the monsoon season runoff. The magnitude of the floods in terms of their maximum daily discharge and flood volume is higher in the up-stream (Rajmahal station) than in the downstream of Farakka barrage. Furthermore, annual minor floods and floods with 10 years recurrence interval play a significant role in the river hydrology and morphology.
O que importa em uma amizade? A percepção de universitários sobre amizades

What matters in a friendship? College students’ perceptions on friendshipsThis paper presents data that complement the construct validation of the McGill Friendship Questionnaires into Brazilian Portuguese. The aim of the questionnaires is to evaluate friendship quality through nine dimensions tapped by scales. The present paper analyzed the complementary dimensions to the McGill Questionnaires’ through an open-ended question that followed the scales. Content analysis provided an overview ofthe friendship concept, highlighting positive and negative aspects of the relationship, as well as similarities with the Canadian culture, where de original scales are from. Resultsindicate themes to be explored in future research and the need of more studies on friendship relationships in other states inside Brazil, in order to identify similarities and differences within the country.

3D and 4d bioprinting: additive manufacturing of smart biodegradable hydrogels

The controlled behaviour of biological systems in response to external stimuli is ubiquitous in nature and perceived as a key requirement for the development of advanced functional materials. A good example found in nature is the so-called “sensitive plant” (Mimosa) that responds to touch by rapidly closing its leaves, as a defense mechanisms against herbivores. This quick response to touch is due to rapid water release from specialized cells located at the leaves. In attempt to mimic nature, 4D-BIOGEL project aims to combine new fully biodegradable water-filled hydrogels with additive manufacturing or 3D printing to design smart materials that can undergo a temporal change in their shape under the influence of an external stimulus, giving a 4th dimension to the previously designed 3D object. Light-sensitive structures activated by near-infrared (NIR) are especially appealing, since light can be conveniently pinpointed to the location of interest with the maximum depth of penetration and the minimum damage of tissues. To obtain NIR-sensitive hydrogels, nanoparticles capable of converting light into heat will be incorporated into the hydrogel matrix to afford small volume contraction-expansion changes on demand. This advanced technology offers great potential for the creation of sophisticated dynamic structures with high resolution that could find application not only in regenerative medicine or drug-delivery, but also in robotics or bioelectronics. 
The 24-month outgoing phase will take place at the University of Washington in Seattle, under the supervision of Dr. Alshakim Nelson - one of the top-class researchers in 3D and 4D printing of hydrogels. The final goal is that during the third year of the fellowship, under the guidance of Dr. Haritz Sardon at the University of the Basque Country in Spain (BERC-POLYMAT), Dr. Eva Sanchez can translate all the expertise acquired about the innovative fields of 3D and 4D bioprinting to Europe, where there is a clear need.

Aspects of crinoid palaeontology of the North Esk Inlier, Scotland (Silurian, Llandovery, Telychian)

The described fauna of well-preserved Llandovery (Telychian) echinoderms from the North Esk Inlier, including six crinoids, one echinoid and seven starfish species, is mainly allochthonous. Most of these taxa are known only from starfish beds, channel fill deposits probably representing submarine mass flows and preserving a biota probably derived from elsewhere, presumably shallower water. Only one crinoid species, Pisocrinus cf. campana Miller, is recognized as a common fossil away from the starfish beds and is a biostratigraphic marker for the base of the Wether Law Linn Formation, forming part of the Skenidioides-Cyrtia Association. Crinoid columnals preserved perpendicular to bedding (that is, in putative life position) in Lamont's bivalve bed, Deerhope Formation, are tentatively interpreted as being in situ by comparison with a similar occurrence in the Silurian of Arisaig, Nova Scotia. Two new species of crinoid are described, the cladid Dendrocrinus? sp. and the columnal morphospecies Pentagonocyclicus (col.) lamonti sp. nov.

Tosylate cluster complexes (Bu4N)2[М6I8(O3SC6H4CH3)6] (M = Mo, W)

The reaction of (Bu4N)2[М6I14] with silver p-toluenesulfonate (tosylate) AgO3SC6H4CH3 affords iodide cluster complexes (Bu4N)2[М6I8(Рts)6] (М = Mo (I), W (II); Рts is tosylate anion CH3C6H4SO3). According to the X-ray diffraction data (СIF file CCDC no. 1027969), the molybdenum atoms in (Bu4N)2[Мo6I8(Рts)6] · 2Et2O · 2MeCN (I′) are coordinated via the monodentate mode by the tosylate ligands. The 1H NMR and mass spectrometry data show that in donor solvents the complexes undergo solvolysis followed by the substitution of the tosylate ligands by the solvent molecules, which is accompanied by changes in the electrochemical properties, as shown by the cyclic voltammetry data.
Efficient Incremental Decoding for Tree-to-String Translation

Syntax-based translation models should in principle be efficient with polynomially-sized search space, but in practice they are often embarassingly slow, partly due to the cost of language model integration. In this paper we borrow from phrase-based decoding the idea to generate a translation incrementally left-to-right, and show that for tree-to-string models, with a clever encoding of derivation history, this method runs in average-case polynomial-time in theory, and linear-time with beam search in practice (whereas phrase-based decoding is exponential-time in theory and quadratic-time in practice). Experiments show that, with comparable translation quality, our tree-to-string system (in Python) can run more than 30 times faster than the phrase-based system Moses (in C++).
OPTIMIZATION OF A NONLINEAR ELECTRICAL–THERMAL MODEL OF THE SKIN

This paper presents modified equations for a nonlinear electrical–thermal model of the skin, and optimizes the parameters of the model by a genetic algorithm. In publications, an electrical–thermal model for the skin has been presented. Although, the model is sophisticated and includes the most of physical phenomena occurring in the skin; however, mathematical equations used in this model for the capacitance and dissipated power are incompletely stated so that they sometimes cause instability in solving the equations. In this paper, the equations given previously for the capacitance current and the dissipated power are first modified. We have considered different inward and outward current in the model, since there are different ions which make this two currents in the skin. Then, a special kind of genetic algorithm is applied to estimate the parameters of the model. The used algorithm is a powerful optimization tool against high-dimensional problems and can overcome the curse of dimensionality. In each iteration, it divides variable sets into two groups: a small set still variable and a large set frozen on their best values. Finally, modeling results are compared with experimental results. The comparison shows there is a good agreement between the modeling and experimental results especially in the steady state regime.
PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF REGENERATED CELLULOSE FILAMENTS

Process for the preparation of regenerated cellulose filaments from an anisotropic solution comprising cellulose formate, phosphoric acid, and formic acid in which the formed cellulose formate filaments are dried to a moisture content of not more than 15 % prior to regeneration and after regeneration the filaments are washed and dried under low tension. In this manner cellulose multifilament yarns of high breaking load and high elongation at break can be obtained, which in addition have a very regular linear density.
Impact of distributed generation on network short circuit level

Distributed generation (DG) technology is spreading rapidly owing to advantages of clean environment, loss reduction and voltage improvement. Utilities in Pakistan are welcoming all generations to increase their supply capacity. Industries are installing DGs to meet their load requirements. In order to reduce energy bills, DGs are being used to supply spare power back to utility or even in off peak durations. DG interconnection changes electrical network characteristics of existing utility network. Protection problems may occur in the form of relay settings, islanding and increased short circuit currents. This paper investigates the effects of DG interconnection on short circuit currents. A feeder of SITE industrial area of Karachi is modeled and simulated for short circuit analysis. Analysis shows that DG interconnection to a radial feeder increases short circuit level at all nodes of the feeder.

Some Instructional Issues in Hypergeometric Distribution

A brief introduction to sampling without replacement is presented. We represent the probability of a sample outcome in sampling without replacement from a finite population by three equivalent forms involving permutation and combination. Then it is used to calculate the probability of any number of successes in a given sample. The resulting forms are equivalent to the well known mass function of the hypergeometric distribution. Vandermonde’s identity readily justifies different forms of the mass function. One of the new form of the mass function embodies binomial coefficient showing much resemblance to that of binomial distribution. It also yields some interesting identities. Some other related issues are discussed.
Morphologically-Informed representations for natural language processing

The morphological structure of a word plays an important role in determining its function and meaning, yet it is often disregarded by current machine learning models aimed at natural language processing (NLP). State-of-the-art NLP models typically rely on word-level or character-level representations. This arguably works well for English, the dominant language in NLP research, since it is morphologically simple, but poses a challenge for morphologically-rich languages like Basque, Estonian, or Kurdish. As a consequence, the current state of the art is biased against these languages, preventing us from building better NLP technology for them.

The MorphIRe project aims to learn morphologically-informed representations for NLP. It proposes to explore the fine-grained morphological analysis of word forms in order to learn representations that are grounded in morphemes, the smallest grammatical unit of language. Using these representations as input to NLP models is expected to improve their performance particularly for morphologically-rich languages. To this end, MorphIRe will make use of deep learning with neural network architectures both to learn the representations and to apply them to state-of-the-art models for a variety of NLP tasks, such as language modelling and dependency parsing.

The impact of MorphIRe is twofold: 1) Learning input representations that can be used in a variety of models encourages reusability of the results and promises that improvements will carry over to future NLP research. 2) Through improving the state of the art on morphologically-rich languages, speakers of these languages will ultimately benefit from better NLP technology. This way, MorphIRe has the potential for making both a scientific and a societal impact.

Functional acuity contrast sensitivity assessment in young and middle age healthy persons at the day time with and without glare

Background. As people age, their vision becomes less clear; they can clearly see big objects but experience problems discerning minor things and minor details. The functional acuity contrast test is a very sensitive method used for visual system evaluation which may help to detect the beginning of the disease in case the visual acuity is still normal. Purpose. To determine functional acuity contrast sensitivity in young and in middle age healthy persons at the day time with and without glare. Materials and methods. We examined 40–49 yrs (Group 1), and 50– 59 yrs (Group 2) healthy persons. The typical Snellen chart (the direc­tion of the gap in Landolt C) was used for the non-corrected and the bestcorrected visual acuity testing. Functional acuity contrast sensitivity was measured employing a Ginsburg Box, VSCR- CST-6500, at the day time with and without glare. Results. Functional acuity contrast sensitivity remained very similar in the age groups of 40–49 years and 50–59 years. However, statistically, it significantly decreased at day time without glare (18 cycle / degree) spatial frequencies (p = 0.05). Results in Group 1 as compared to Group 2 decreased from 3.09% to 51.7% at the day time without glare and from 2.16% to 11.61% at the day time with glare. Conclusion. The facts are that contrast sensitivity remained very similar in the age groups of 40–49 years and 50–59 years at the day time with and without glare.
Sobigdata research infrastructure

One of the most pressing and fascinating challenges scientists face today, is understanding the complexity of our globally interconnected society. The big data arising from the digital breadcrumbs of human activities promise to let us scrutinize the ground truth of individual and collective behaviour at an unprecedented detail and scale. There is an urgent need to harness these opportunities for scientific advancement and for the social good.  The main obstacle to this accomplishment, besides the scarcity of data scientists, is the lack of a large-scale open infrastructure, where big data and social mining research can be carried out.

To this end, SoBigData proposes to create the Social Mining & Big Data Ecosystem: a research infrastructure (RI) providing an integrated ecosystem for ethic-sensitive scientific discoveries and advanced applications of social data mining on the various dimensions of social life, as recorded by “big data”. Building on several established national infrastructures, SoBigData will open up new research avenues in multiple research fields, including mathematics, ICT, and human, social and economic sciences, by enabling easy comparison, re-use and integration of state-of-the-art big social data, methods, and services, into new research. It will not only strengthen the existing clusters of excellence in social data mining research, but also create a pan-European, inter-disciplinary community of social data scientists, fostered by extensive training, networking, and innovation activities. In addition, as an open research infrastucture, SoBigData will promote repeatable and open science.
Although SoBigData is primarily aimed at serving the needs of researchers, the openly available datasets and open source methods and services provided by the new research infrastructure will also impact industrial and other stakeholders (e.g. government bodies, non-profit organisations, funders, policy makers).
Information retrieval from web databases using semantic similarity

In the recent years, the database access is done by the HTML form based interfaces easily. The textual data deal with the natural languages, knowledge acquisition and finally information retrieval. The data units are returned from the databases and encoded into result pages for human browsing. For the encoded data processable, they need to assign a label for each group. In this paper, an automatic annotation approach aligns the resultant data into a similar group of data units. For each group, we annotate the results and assign the label for it. Then survey and classify the search result records for evaluate their concept similarity and dissimilarity. Finally the annotation wrapper is constructed automatically.
METHOD OF MAKING A METAL FIBER SHEET

Provided by the present invention is a process for making wet-layed metal fiber nonwoven sheet. The process comprises dispersing (3, 4) a mixture (2) of metal fibers, wood pulp and a fibrillated material into an aqueous dispensing fluid (8). The amount of metal fibers dispersed generally ranges from 60 to 80 weight percent, based on the weight of solids, with the amount of wood pulp ranging from 15 to 30 weight percent and the amount of fibrillated material ranging from about 5 to 10 weight percent. The dispersed mixture in the aqueous dispensing fluid is then applied to a screen (6), with the aqueous dispensing fluid (8) being removed to thereby form a metal fiber sheet.
