Los descriptores de características en 3D extraídos de nubes de puntos se han convertido en una fuente deinformación promisoria para muchas aplicaciones. Estas aplicaciones incluyen reconocimiento de objetos o formas,modelamiento de edificaciones, modelamiento de estructuras civiles, sistemas de navegación autónoma, etc.Considerando estas tendencias, este artículo presenta un sistema de clasificación de vehículos, basado en bolsade palabras, el cual extrae descriptores de características de imágenes de rango capturadas usando un láser SICKLMS200. Nuestro enfoque usa información visual para estimar la velocidad de los vehículos usando un filtro deKalman, esta estimación de la velocidad es usada para registrar los datos del láser y construir la nube de puntosde la escena. En este trabajo, un dataset fue capturado a partir de la nube de puntos del vehículo, su informaciónvisual, la estimación de la velocidad del vehículo y una etiqueta de la clase de vehículo. Usando este dataset, variosdescriptores de 3D fueron probados y árboles KD fueron empleados para acelerar el proceso de clasificación, esteúltimo realizado con la Bolsa de Palabras. En consecuencia, nuestro enfoque puede clasificar hasta nueve diferentesclases de vehículos; el desempeño del clasificador fue medido usando curvas tipo Precision –Recall.

Published: April 2019

El Análisis de Ciclo de Vida (ACV) de un producto o proceso considera toda su historia, desde su origen como materiaprima hasta su final como residuo. En este trabajo, se empleó la metodología ACV para evaluar el impacto ambientalpor el uso de nanopartículas de alúmina como aditivo de mezclas de biodiesel-diésel, considerando la síntesis denanopartículas de alúmina a partir del método sol-gel. La evaluación de cada etapa del proceso se realizó medianteel software SIMAPRO (método CML), para la determinación del potencial de impactos de cada una de las fases enestudio. Aunque el uso de las nanopartículas generó una reducción de las emisiones de CO2, SO2 y material particulado(MP), se observó un incremento en la mayoría de las categorías de impacto (acidificación, eutrofización y eco-toxicidadacuática marina) durante la combustión, debido al aumento en las emisiones de NOx y el efecto tóxico de la fabricaciónde las nanopartículas, comparado con la combustión sin el nano-aditivo, lo cual plantea el interrogante sobre si el uso denanotecnología integrada a la industria de biocombustibles representa una alternativa realmente renovable.

Authors: Burbano Diego A. , López John D. , Rojas Oscar A.
Published: April 2019

La globalización del mercado representa una ampliación en la visión de negocio de toda industria, el aumento del entorno empresarial constituye un reto en cuestión de competitividad pero a la vez una oportunidad de ingresar a nuevos mercados. Los mercados actuales definen los requerimientos de la industria, estos requerimientos reflejan un alto sentido de personalización, puesto que en la última década, el rápido cambio de los productos se está convirtiendo en un estilo de vida. Los clientes esperan una mejor calidad, mayor variedad y mejor rendimiento de los productos (Palominos, 2007). Es así como los sistemas de manufactura buscan un nuevo enfoque que se adecue eficientemente a estas necesidades. Puntualmente, la función de programación de la producción representa un desafío estrechamente ligado a las tendencias del sector, la asignación de recursos debe desarrollarse de forma flexible, de tal manera que se adecue a las necesidades de producción dinámicas. Considerando lo anterior, en el presente artículo se presenta un método para la programación de la producción desde el paradigma de los sistema holónicos de manufactura enfatizando en la definición de tareas, interfaces y flujos de información, así como también la aplicación de modelos para la estructuración del método.

Actualmente la mayoría de repositorios digitales incluyen esquemas de representación de conocimiento como ontologías y tesauros para ofrecer a creadores y expertos varias alternativas que permitan gestionar, clasificar y organizar objetos de aprendizaje dentro de un repositorio; así como facilitar el uso del repositorio para ayudar a los usuarios a localizar objetos de aprendizaje, desplegar información complementaria, identificar sus relaciones, categorías, áreas de conocimiento, etc. Sin embargo, estos esquemas de clasificación a veces no son utilizados y aprovechados en la medida que sería deseable debido a: i) los usuarios no están familiarizados con los complejos sistemas de representación de conocimiento, que los expertos y creadores de repositorios utilizan para clasificar los recursos, y ii) las interfaces de usuario actuales no siempre facilitan las tareas esenciales de los usuarios que visitan el repositorio: búsqueda y localización de recursos digitales. La motivación de este artículo se centra en el segundo factor, presentando un análisis de las deficiencias de las actividades de búsqueda y navegación mediante el diseño e implementación de interfaces navegacionales a partir del uso de esquemas de representación de conocimiento

Las leyes sobre propiedad industrial establecen qué características debe reunir cualquier creación intelectual para ser considerada como "bien inmaterial" y por lo tanto ser protegida jurídicamente. Existen dos grupos de Derechos de Propiedad Industrial: en primer lugar tenemos las Patentes, los Modelos de Utilidad y los Diseños Industriales que se agrupan alrededor del concepto de técnica industrial. En segundo lugar tenemos las Marcas Comerciales, las Denominaciones de Origen y el Secreto Industrial que no se explican a través del concepto de técnica industrial.2.

Saneamiento Ecológico: ¿Panacea o Caja de Sorpresas?

fundamentalmente en la separación del material semisólido (excreta) del líquido (orina). Trabajos previos argumentan que el proceso de deshidratación de la excreta parece eliminar de manera más efectiva los patógenos y por lo tanto los sistemas secos son mejores para reducir el riesgo microbiológico cuando se les compara con los métodos comunes para el manejo de excretas. Sin embargo, la literatura técnica reciente muestra que hace falta evidencia científica contundente que demuestre que la hipótesis ad hoc de eliminación de patógenos vía deshidratación es cierta en todas las condiciones ambientales posibles para la implementación de ECOSAN. Así mismo, la reducción del riesgo químico asociado con sustancias indeseables como los perturbadores endocrinos (PEs) que pueden estar presentes en la orina, es algo que se debe investigar a fondo en todas las tecnologías de saneamiento. Igualmente, la implementación de ECOSAN en un contexto social y cultural específico requiere de un trabajo comunitario importante para superar las limitaciones culturales que los usuarios potenciales podrían tener en relación con esta tecnología. Por lo tanto, ECOSAN no es una panacea para la solución de los problemas de contaminación y es básicamente una tecnología de saneamiento como cualquier otra que se encuentra en su etapa de desarrollo.
Sobre concordância verbal, aprendizagem da escrita e gramáticas múltiplas
Authors: ZANDOMÊNICO Stefania Caetano Martins de Rezende , PILATI Eloisa Nascimento Silva
Published: April 2019

O presente artigo investiga os efeitos do processo de escolarização no uso da concordância verbal por falantes que passaram pelo processo de letramento durante a Educação Básica. O objetivo é duplo: por um lado, pretende-se compreender os padrões de concordância verbal usados por falantes letrados e, por outro, deseja-se discutir a adequação das propostas de Roeper (1999) e Kato (2005) ao fenômeno estudado. A metodologia utilizada foi a análise variacionista dos padrões de concordância verbal usados em textos escritos por alunos oriundos da EJA e do ensino regular, recolhidos em provas do ENEM (Zandomênico 2018), e a posterior comparação entre os resultados obtidos com os resultados de estudos variacionistas anteriores (Naro 1981, Scherre & Naro 1998, Vieira 2011, Graciosa 1991, Berlinck et al. 2009). Os resultados da análise levam à conclusão de que, em relação à concordância verbal, a hipótese mais adequada para dar conta do fenômeno estudado – a concordância verbal na gramática do letrado – é a das gramáticas múltiplas, de Roeper (1999), em que se defende que todos os falantes possuem um conjunto de minigramáticas para serem usadas em diferentes domínios.

Sujeito gramatical e objeto direto
Authors: MAGALHÃES Telma Moreira Vianna , SILVA Cláudia Roberta Tavares
Published: April 2019

Este artigo objetiva discutir aspectos sintáticos da gramática do português brasileiro (PB), mais especificamente, o sujeito gramatical e o objeto direto, em dados de fala e de escrita, visando investigar até que ponto a “gramática” da escrita distancia-se da gramática da fala (KATO, 1999, 2005) Para tanto, serão analisados contextos declarativos finitos extraídos de narrações produzidas no Ensino Fundamental (II) de uma escola de Alagoas por alunos de classe média e de dados de produção oral espontânea produzidos por uma criança brasileira, monolíngue, como idade entre 2.0;0 e 3.5;0 anos. Durante a análise, foi adotada a teoria da Gramática Gerativa (cf. CHOMSKY, 1981; 1995; 1998) e os resultados obtidos mostram que há uma grande distância entre o conhecimento linguístico que a criança traz para a escola e o conhecimento linguístico que o falante demonstra após anos de aprendizado do PB na escola. Observamos, em dados de escrita, que os alunos preferem usar o sujeito pleno de 3ª pessoa do singular, enquanto a criança, em fase de aquisição, prefere usar o sujeito nulo para essa pessoa. Ademais, na posição objeto, os clíticos de 3ª pessoa são muito poucos na escrita, sendo inexistentes na fase da aquisição.
NIETZSCHE E A DEMOCRACIA
Authors: Borges de Oliveira Emerson Ademir
Published: April 2019

Por muito tempo, fruto da filosofia antiga e, de certa forma, também da renascentista, a democracia foi erigida a um modelo de “ídolo”, um regime perfeito que deveria ser seguido pelos modelos reais. Basta lembrar como Rousseau a chamava de “governo dos deuses”. O trabalho de Nietzsche, nessa seara, rompeu com a ideia dos ídolos, dentre eles a democracia, identificando como quimera a crença em tais tradições ou modelos perfeitos. Embora seu trabalho tenha sido de excelente grado nesse tocante, é certo que Nietzsche é um desconstrutivista. Por essa razão, cabe-nos analisar a questão da idolatria democrática e, com base na genealogia nietzschiana, tentar propor o debate acerca de um “modelo” realizável de democracia. Nas atuais circunstâncias institucionais, a identificação de um modelo de democracia que apresenta graves falhas e ranhuras é imprescindível para saber até que ponto se busca atingir um modelo democrático, ou se a busca, na verdade, representa uma ilusão vivenciada em pleno seio da democracia. O objetivo deste trabalho, para além da desconstrução de Nietzsche, foi instigar o debate acerca da configuração da democracia que desejamos vivenciar, considerados o lugar e o momento histórico. A pesquisa é eminentemente bibliográfica e o método indutivo.
RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL CONTRATUAL E EXTRACONTRATUAL FRENTE À RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL AMBIENTAL: UMA ANÁLISE SOB O DIREITO PÓS-MODERNO
Authors: Messias Ewerton Ricardo , Dias Jefferson Aparecido
Published: April 2019

O agravamento da crise ambiental mundial resultou em fortes pressões internacionais acerca do desenvolvimento sustentável. Neste contexto, instituições financeiras, públicas e privadas, têm buscado implantar diretrizes de Política de Responsabilidade Socioambiental voltadas à preservação e ao controle de riscos sociais e ambientais. Não obstante a existência de normas acerca da incorporação de Política de Responsabilidade Socioambiental por parte das instituições financeiras, diversos danos ambientais continuam a ocorrer a partir de obras e empreendimentos financiados. Diante de tal panorama, a presente pesquisa tem por objetivo verificar a possibilidade de responsabilização civil, contratual e extracontratual, das instituições financeiras, pelos danos ambientais causados pelas atividades econômicas por elas financiadas. Para a obtenção dos resultados almejados pela pesquisa, o método de abordagem a ser seguido será o empírico-dialético, utilizando-se das pesquisas bibliográfica, legislativa e jurisprudencial, tendo como pano de fundo um sistema de referência pautado na combinação entre a Teoria dos Sistemas de Niklas Luhmann, e o giro linguístico, representado por meio do Constructivismo Lógico-Semântico de Paulo de Barros Carvalho. Em conclusão, aponta-se que as instituições financeiras respondem objetiva, solidária e integralmente, juntamente com os agentes financiados, pelos danos ambientais decorrentes das atividades financiadas, seja em decorrência de responsabilidade contratual ou extracontratual.
Visible-Light Photosensitized Aryl and Alkyl Decarboxylative Carbon-Heteroatom and Carbon-Carbon Bond Formations

Published: April 2019

A general strategy to access both aryl and alkyl radicals by photosensitized decarboxylation of the corresponding carboxylic acids esters has been developed. An energy transfer mediated homolysis of unsymmetrical sigma-bonds for a concerted fragmentation/decarboxylation process is involved. As a result, an independent aryl/alkyl radical generation step enables a series of key C-X and C-C bond forming reactions by simply changing the radical trapping agent.

Surface organic ligands play a critical role in stabilizing atomically precise metal nanoclusters in solutions. However, it is still challenging to prepare highly robust ligated metal nanoclusters that are surface-active for liquid-phase catalysis without any pre-treatment. Herein, we report a novel N-heterocyclic carbine-stabilized Au25 nanocluster with high thermal and air stabilities as a homogenous catalyst for cycloisomerization of alkynyl amines to indoles. The nanocluster, characterized as [Au25(iPr2-bimy)10Br7]2+ (iPr2-bimy=diisopropyl-benzilidazolium) (1), was synthesized by direct reduction of AuSMe2Cl and iPr2- bimyAuBr with NaBH4 in one pot. X-ray crystallization analysis revealed that the cluster comprises two centered Au13 icosahedra sharing a vertex. Cluster 1 is highly stable and can survive in solution at 80 oC for 12 h, which is superior to Au25 nanoclusters passivated with phosphines or thiols. DFT computations reveal the origins of both electronic and thermal stability of 1 and point to the probable catalytic sites. This work provides new insights into the bonding capability of N-heterocyclic carbene to gold in a cluster, and offers an opportunity to probe the catalytic mechanism at the atomic level.
A GPU-Accelerated Machine Learning Framework for Molecular Simulation: Hoomd-Blue with TensorFlow
Authors: Barrett Rainier , Chakraborty Maghesree , Amirkulova Dilnoza , Gandhi Heta , White Andrew
Published: April 2019

We have designed and implemented software that enables integration of a scalable GPU-accelerated molecular mechanics engine, Hoomd-blue, with the machine learning (ML) TensorFlow package. TensorFlow is a GPU accelerated, scalable, graph-based tensor computation model building package that has been the implementation of many recent innovations in deep learning and other ML tasks. Tensor computation graphs allow for designation of robust, flexible, and easily replicated computational models for a variety of tasks. Our plugin leverages the generality and speed of computational tensor graphs in TensorFlow to enable four previously challenging tasks in molecular dynamics: (1) the calculation of arbitrary force-fields including neural-network-based, stochastic, and/or automatically-generated force-fields which are differentiated from potential functions; (2) the efficient computation of arbitrary collective variables; (3) the biasing of simulations via automatic differentiation of collective variables and consequently the implementation of many free energy biasing methods; (4) ML on any of the above tasks, including coarse grain force fields, on-the-fly learned biases, and collective variable calculations. The TensorFlow models are constructed in Python and can be visualized or debugged using the rich set of tools implemented in the TensorFlow package. In this article, we present examples of the four major tasks this method can accomplish, benchmark data, and describe the architecture of our implementation. This method should lead to both the design of new models in computational chemistry research and reproducible model specification without requiring recompiling or writing low-level code.
Potassium Speciation and Distribution for the K2CO3 Additive-Induced Activation/Deactivation of Olivine During Gasification of Woody Biomass
Authors: Knutsson Pavleta , Maric Jelena , Knutsson Jesper , Larsson Anton , Breitholtz Claes , Seemann Martin
Published: April 2019

The GoBiGas plant, which comprises a 32-MWth dual fluidized bed gasifier, was constructed as a demonstration unit for converting biomass to biomethane via gasification. On several occasions during the commissioning of the plant, low activity of the olivine bed generated a high content of tar in the produced gas, which was deleterious to the downstream equipment. The problem was attributed to a deficiency of ash constituents, and the solution was to control activation of the bed material through the addition of K2CO3 to the process. This enabled extended operational periods without tar-related issues. The achieved activity could be lost during interrupted operation at which time the activation procedure had to be repeated. In the present paper analysis of the bed material samples extracted upon activation and after loss of activity using Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) showed similar morphologies for the ash layers formed around the olivine particles. The observed differences mainly related to the distributions of potassium (K) across the layers. Furthermore, surface analysis showed differences in K speciation within the outer regions. K solubility tests and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses indicated that K was present as an oxide/hydroxide rather than as a silicate on the surface of the active olivine. The presented results are of major relevance for the operation of dual fluidized bed gasifiers with fuels that are potassium-lean when ash components need to be supplied as additives
Time-Dependent Long-Range Corrected Density-Functional Tight-Binding Method Combined with the Polarizable Continuum Model
Authors: Nishimoto Yoshio
Published: April 2019

In this study, excited-state free energies and geometries were efficiently evaluated using a linear-response time-dependent long-range corrected density-functional tight-binding method integrated with the polarizable continuum model (TD-LC-DFTB/PCM). Although the LC-DFTB method required the evaluation of the exchange-type term, which was moderately computationally expensive, a single evaluation of the excited-state gradient for a system consisting of more than 1000 atoms in a vacuum was completed within 30 minutes using one CPU core. Benchmark calculations were conducted for 3-hydroxy avone, which exhibits dual emission: the absorption and enol-form emission wavelengths calculated by TD-LC-DFTB/PCM agreed well with those predicted based on density functional theory using a long-range corrected functional; however, there was a large error in the predicted keto-form emission wavelength. Further benchmark calculations for more than 20 molecules indicated that the conventional TD-DFTB method underestimated the absorption and 0-0 transition energies compared with those which were measured experimentally while the TD-LC-DFTB method systematically overestimated these metrics. Nevertheless, the agreement of the results of the TD-LC-DFTB method with those obtained by the CAM-B3LYP method demonstrates the potential of the TD-LC-DFTB/PCM method. Moreover, changing the range-separation parameter to 0.15 minimized this deviation.

Published: April 2019

Factors on Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) are factors derived from UTAUT technology acceptance model, which is used to describe the factors that influence the acceptance of individuals on the implementation of a new technology in the enterprise. This study aimed to analyze the influence of UTAUT factors on E-retention with E-satisfaction as mediating variable. This study uses a quantitative approach with the total samples. The results showed that: (1) Performance Expectancy influences E-retention significantly, (2) Effort Expectancy influences E-retention significantly, (3) Social Influence influences E-retention not significantly, (4) Facilitating Conditions influences E-retention significantly, (5) E-satisfaction influences E-retention significantly, and (6) UTAUT Factors influence E-retention with E-satisfaction as mediating variable. However, the bigger impact is shown through the influence of UTAUT Factors on E-retention directly without going through the E-satisfaction.

Published: April 2019

The behavior and the performance of firms, which are highlighted on small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) development, have been extensively discussed since few past decades among the scholars and researchers. Nonetheless, most of those studies only concentrate onto Western firms and less is known in South-East Asia firms, especially the firms located in Indonesia. Consistent with the lack of literature mentioned above, the most significant problem within the body of literature is there are also very little comprehensive findings of empirical research in examining the role of foreign enterprises which specialized in flying fish roe product, known as Tobiko or To Bio No Tamago in Japanese, on the development of Indonesian SMEs in general and the development of natives’ wealth and knowledge in particular. To this knowledge, this study thus aims to expound the role of Kanetoku Corporation and Kanematsu Corporation (formerly known as Kanematsu Gosho Ltd.) – as the representative of the foreign firms – on the development of Indonesian SMEs that are originated from South Sulawesi province, especially from Makassar, Takalar, and Mamuju region. Through the application of resource-based view (RBV) as the grounded theory and the emphasis on the underpinning concept of innovation and knowledge-transfer, this study is strongly expected come up with the result that innovation and knowledge transfer provided by Japanese firms intentionally or unintentionally have become the vital factors on the development of South Sulawesi SMEs that can be seen for example within (1) the successful internationalization of South Sulawesi SMEs and amusingly (2) the remarkable discovery of a new habitat of flying fish outside the South Sulawesi province by the South Sulawesi SMEs during the collaboration between Japanese firms.

Authors: González-Díaz Sandra Nora , Arias-Cruz Alfredo , Monge-Ortega Olga Patricia
Published: April 2019

Las reacciones a medicamentos pueden ocurrir por mecanismos mediados o no por imunoglobulina E. La alergia a fármacos es un tipo de interacción adversa y comprende una gama de reacciones de hipersensibilidad mediadas por distintos mecanismos inmunológicos con diversas manifestaciones clínicas. Se estima una tasa anual de 3.2 casos fatales de anafilaxia asociados con los fármacos por cada 100 000 habitantes, que parece ser aproximadamente 10 veces mayor en los pacientes hospitalizados. La incidencia de reacciones anafilácticas perioperatorias se estima en uno de cada 10 000-20 000 procedimientos anestésicos. El diagnóstico se basa en una cuidadosa historia clínica y en el examen físico. En algunos casos pueden requerirse pruebas cutáneas, pruebas de retos progresivos y procedimientos de inducción de tolerancia al medicamento. En los pacientes hospitalizados y en el intervalo perioperatorio frecuentemente se emplean relajantes musculares, neurolépticos y morfinomiméticos, por lo que pueden presentarse respuestas adversas a estos fármacos. En esta revisión se hace énfasis en las reacciones alérgicas a los medicamentos y se abordan estrategias para su diagnóstico y manejo.

Makalah ini merupakan tugas Mahasiswa Program Doktor Ilmu Hukum UNHAS pada Tahun 2014 sengaja di publis kiranya ada manfaat. pada kesipulannya bahwa Tantangan terberat bagi pengelola zakat sehubungandengan UU 23 2011 adalah keluar dari zona nyaman. Bila kelak Judicial Review tidak menghasilkan keluaran yang diharapkan, pengelola LAZ harus menyesuaikan diri karena mereka tidak lagi dipanggung utama pengelolaan zakat. BAZNAS Propinsi/Kabupaten/Kota yang kini didorong sebagai pemain utama, harus dengan cepat memperkuat kompetensi dan kapabilitasnya. Kesadaran itu menimbulkan ruang bagi proses komunikasi produktif diantara pengelola zakat, membuka wilayah-wilayah sinergi baru dan pada gilirannya menumbuhkan kesadaran muzakki karena manfaat pengelolaan yang dihasilkan dan dirasakan mustahiq. Sekali lagi, untuk beberapa tahun kedepan, pengelolaan zakat di Indonesia masih akan berupa urusan kepercayaan pada pengelola, belum sampai pada kepatuhan terhadap penyelenggara pemerintahan.

Children Value Objects With Distinctive Histories
Authors: Pesowski Madison Leigh , Friedman Ori
Published: April 2019

From ancient objects in museums to souvenirs obtained on vacation, we often value objects for their distinctive histories. The present experiments investigate the developmental origins of people’s feelings that objects with distinctive histories are special. In each of four experiments, 4- to 7-year-olds (total N = 400) saw pairs of identical-looking objects in which one object was new and the other had a history that was either distinctive or mundane. In the first experiment, the histories did not involve people; in the remaining experiments, the histories were personal and related the objects to particular people. Distinctive histories affected children’s valuations of regular objects (all experiments), but not their valuations of stuffed animals. Both older and younger children viewed regular objects with distinctive histories as more special than those with mundane histories. Older children mostly viewed objects with distinctive histories as more special than new objects, and younger children showed similar judgments when judging which object a person cared about more. Together, the findings reveal a novel way that information about the past influences children’s judgments about the present and suggest that young children’s valuations of objects depend on objects’ histories.
