Year: 2005

description: A sobrevivência social, cultural e material da espécie humana resulta da acumulação e da utilização do conhecimento. Sendo este um elemento imprescindível à formação da personalidade e ao fortalecimento da unidade do grupo, cedo se desenvolveu no Homem a capacidade de produzir instrumentos que lhe permitiram registar esse conhecimento com o objectivo de o comunicar a outros. Para tal serviu-se de vários processos, desde a utilização de instrumentos rudimentares como o sílex ou o chopper, passando pelo registo mecânico, até à recente tecnologia digital, de que destacamos, nesta comunicação, as redes de computadores que constituem a internet. Tal como nos meios que antecederam o digital, e que com ele coexistem, posto que nenhum meio elimina os anteriores, o design desempenha um papel determinante no processo de tornar o conhecimento comum. A presente comunicação procede a uma reflexão em torno do design e analisa os elementos morfológicos do design e a sua organizam em novos modelos de comunicação. Pretende-se ainda determinar de que modo o novo suporte de comunicação, a internet, caracterizado pela interactividade, pela tridimensionalidade, pelo movimento, pela sonoplastia, entre outros, proporciona o aparecimento de uma nova forma de expressão do design e de que forma potencia a comunicação visual, determinante do desenvolvimento da sociedade.

description: Major challenges in nanoparticle and nanocomposite development are the control of particle size and shape, and to achieve uniform particle dispersion. In this book, the application of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for nanocomposite and nanoparticle characterization is investigated. Industrial requirements are robustness, small system cost and size, and an open path towards parallelization. We design and investigate silicon photonic integrated OCT systems that comply with these requirements.

description: We construct a new RC phase shift network based Chua's circuit, which exhibits a period-doubling bifurcation route to chaos. Using coupled versions of such a phase-shift network based Chua's oscillators, we describe a new method for achieving complete synchronization (CS), approximate lag synchronization (LS) and approximate anticipating synchronization (AS) without delay or parameter mismatch. Employing the Pecora and Carroll approach, chaos synchronization is achieved in coupled chaotic oscillators, where the drive system variables control the response system. As a result, AS or LS or CS is demonstrated without using a variable delay line both experimentally and numerically.

description: Der Beitrag analysiert, wie sich das Ausmaß gesundheitlicher Ungleichheiten bei Kindern und Jugendlichen in Deutschland in den letzten zehn Jahren entwickelt hat. Die Analysen basieren auf Daten der Studie zur Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen in Deutschland (KiGGS), die für die 0- bis 17-jährige Bevölkerung in Deutschland repräsentativ sind und in drei Wellen erhoben wurden: KiGGS-Basiserhebung (2003 – 2006), KiGGS Welle 1 (2009 – 2012) und KiGGS Welle 2 (2014 – 2017). Betrachtet werden Prävalenzen zu fünf Gesundheitsoutcomes: allgemeiner Gesundheitszustand, psychische Auffälligkeiten, körperliche Aktivität, Konsum zuckerhaltiger Erfrischungsgetränke und Rauchen. Die gesundheitlichen Ungleichheiten werden an Unterschieden nach dem sozioökonomischen Status (SES) der Familie festgemacht, der als Index aus Bildung, Beruf und Einkommen der Eltern bestimmt wird. Betrachtet werden sowohl absolute als auch relative gesundheitliche Ungleichheiten. Hierzu werden der Slope Index of Inequality (SII) und der Relative Index of Inequality (RII) mittels linearer Wahrscheinlichkeitsmodelle beziehungsweise log-Binomial-Modellen berechnet. Für alle Gesundheitsoutcomes zeigen sich deutliche Ungleichheiten zuungunsten von Heranwachsenden aus Familien mit niedrigem SES. In KiGGS Welle 2 waren diese beim allgemeinen Gesundheitszustand und dem Konsum zuckerhaltiger Erfrischungsgetränke besonders stark ausgeprägt. Die Trendergebnisse sprechen hier zudem für eine Ausweitung der relativen Ungleichheiten. Bei letzterem haben gleichzeitig die absoluten Ungleichheiten abgenommen, was ebenso für das Rauchen gilt. Die unverändert hohen und zum Teil ausgeweiteten gesundheitlichen Ungleichheiten weisen darauf hin, dass Heranwachsende aus Familien mit niedrigem SES von den bislang umgesetzten Maßnahmen zur Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung im Kindes- und Jugendalter noch nicht gleichermaßen profitieren.

O humano, fruidor de arte (simultaneamente objectiva e subjectiva), analisa toda a objectividade informacional contida na obra, daí resultando uma significação pessoal, e subjectiva, caracterizando o processo artístico como “não comunicativo”. Não se prestará, portanto, à frustração, qualquer intenção por parte do criador, de transformar as suas obras, em objectos, para veicularem mensagem?

description: We study the inverse spectral problem of reconstructing energy-dependent Sturm-Liouville equations from their Dirichlet spectra and sequences of the norming constants. For the class of problems under consideration, we give a complete description of the corresponding spectral data, suggest a reconstruction algorithm, and establish uniqueness of reconstruction. The approach is based on connection between spectral problems for energy-dependent Sturm-Liouville equations and for Dirac operators of special form.

Modulation of ligand-gated receptors in the central nervous system
Creators: name: Wu, Dongchuan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Basal level neuronal excitability in the mammalian brain is fundamental for physiological brain functions. It is primarily maintained by a fine balance between two types of synaptic transmission: the excitatory transmission mediated by glutamate-gated ion channels including α-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate receptors (AMPARs) and N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptors (NMDARs), and the inhibitory transmission mediated by chloride channels including γ-Aminobutyric acid receptors (GABAARs) found in the brain and glycine receptors (GlyRs) orginating in the spinal cord and brainstem. Therefore, understanding mechanisms by which these ligand-gated ion channels (LIGCs) are regulated is critical for our understanding of both brain functions and dysfunctions, and is the major focus of this thesis. In particular, this research project investigates: 1) how rapid alteration of AMPAR trafficking results in changes in strength of synaptic transmission, with a particular emphasis on its contribution to amygdala long-term potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD), the two most well-characterized forms of synaptic plasticity, and 2) how excitatory transmitter glutamate modulates functions of the inhibitory GABAA and Gly receptors. In chaper 2 and 3, we show in lateral amygdale (LA) slices that the induction of LTP requires NR2A-containing NMDAR activation, while the expression of LTP requires AMPARs insertion (sensitive to TeTx or GluR1-derived peptide). On the contrary, the induction of LTD involves activation of NR2B-containing NMDARs and the expression of LTD involves AMPARs endocytosis (sensitive to GluR2-3Y peptide). The inhibitory receptors GABAARs and GlyRs are respectively activated by binding with their respective transmitters, GABA and glycine. In chapter 4 and 5, we show novel and unexpected findings where glutamate potentiates currents mediated by either GABAARs or GlyRs in neurons and in HEK cells over-expressing recombinant GABAARs and GlyRs. This potentiation was not dependent on activation of any known ionotropic or metabotropic glutamate receptors. Thus, our results strongly suggest that glutamate can allosterically potentiate the function of GABAARs and GlyRs, thereby blurring the traditional distinction between excitatory and inhibitory transmitters. Such a rapid homeostatic regulatory mechanism may have a significant role in tuning functional balance between synaptic excitation and inhibition in the central nervous system (CNS).

description: Pretende-se com este artigo contribuir para a reflexão sobre a criação como forma de comunicação. O seu conteúdo tem como suporte a investigação realizada no contexto do Mestrado em Criação Artística Contemporânea da Universidade de Aveiro. Esta reflexão, mais que responder, pretende levantar um conjunto de questões pertinentes ligadas ao campo da actual criação artística. O início da Idade Moderna trouxe um novo Homem, antropocêntrico. Consigo, a ideia deautor/criador, intrinsecamente ligada à ideia de criação traduz-se na assinatura como vínculo de uma obra a um artista. Fica assim resolvida, de forma clara e tranquilizadora, a relação criador/criação que fez regra durante aproximadamente cinco séculos. Cerca de 500 anos depois, no início do século XX, os dadaístas anunciaram a morte do autor tal como era conhecido até aí. Hoje, a voragem provocada pela aceleração tecnológica e pelo aparecimento de um conjunto de novos media e de novas ferramentas, de outras possibilidades e outras combinações, arrasta consigo um leque de novas interrogações. Quem participa da obra pode também ser considerado “autor”, ou é apenas um catalisador, agindo dentro de um conjunto de possibilidades? Se realmente está em algum lado, onde está o extraordinário? No artista, na obra, no espectador? Mais: quem é o artista, o que é a obra e existe realmente um espectador. E qual o lugar da criação?

description: One component of a massive black hole binary (MBHB) might capture a small third body, and then a hierarchical, inclined triple system would be formed. With the post-Newtonian approximation including radiation reaction, we analyzed the evolution of the triple initially with small eccentricities. We found that an essentially new resonant relation could arise in the triple system. Here relativistic effects are crucial. Relativistic resonances, including the new one, stably work even for an outer MBHB of comparable masses, and significantly change the orbit of the inner small body.

O hábito da Imagem: representação e tecnologia na Arte

description: De acordo com o cenário prevalecente, estamos a atravessar, mais uma vez, uma "revolução", ou dito de outra forma, uma metamorfose (pois todas as sociedades tem as suas) que nos está a tornar, principalmente, numa sociedade que tem uma pele tecnológica que é culturalmente composta por imagens. Grandes expectativas têm vindo a ser frequentes: que a cultura formada pelas novas tecnologias/imagens pode aumentar o nosso conhecimento e consciência do mundo; que podem alargar a nossa amplitude de fantasias assim como de experiências, sobretudo e logo que incidam sobre comportamentos corporais, físicos; que estão a criar formas novas de sociabilidade e a anexar novos tipos de comunidade; que nos aumentará a segurança e a protecção dos perigos do mundo (paradoxalmente, o inverso deste tipo de expectativas também é verdadeira). De facto, a tecnologia está sempre a ter a imagem como alvo, e isto é um sinal do quanto depositamos na tecnologia uma vontade concreta de perceber a verdade das coisas pelas suas simulações. Perante qualquer tipo de imagens a primeira coisa que fazemos é racionalizar a própria imagem (sobretudo após a crise instituída pela imagem digital – crise essa que assenta na ausência do referente). Ou seja, tentamos perceber de que se trata, como foi feita, por quem, quando, etc., onde o interesse demonstrado está, numa primeira aproximação, ligado à referência do mundo real – necessidades de situar a imagem, e assim de nos ligarmos à coisa. Uma vez que o “velho” e o “novo” se cruzam, em termos dos aspectos extrínsecos das imagens, assim como naquilo que representam, não devemos olhar a imagem/arte digital como sendo o coelho que sai da cartola de uma mágico, mas sim como um processo mais de evolução do que de progresso (sendo que a evolução é uma continuidade e o progresso um melhoramento).

A compreensão do design e do significado da sua acção no mundo implica a abordagem de realidades complexas mas determinantes, como o são o objecto e a imagem – em si mesmos e enquanto material (não necessariamente matéria) de inscrição de uma ideia. Implica ainda entender de que modo o design pode ser entendido como instrumento e forma assumida pela técnica na actualidade, ou seja, de que modo o imparável progresso tecnológico, aliado ao carácter abrangente e tendencialmente totalitário do design, vai consolidando com factos a hipótese de estarmos a caminhar para uma era do design total – um mundo integralmente concebido, desenhado, determinado pelo Homem, do mais ínfimo detalhe ao mais amplo ambiente. Esta exploração teórica pretende, acima de tudo, sublinhar o design enquanto prática, disciplina e filosofia progressivamente determinante num mundo que a técnica tem vindo a transformar numa nova cosmogonia, um ambiente que, no limite, pretende totally engineered, alterando inevitavelmente o modo como com ele nos relacionamos e como aí nos situamos.

O desenho na/para a arte é diferente do desenho no/para o design? é a questão que propomos como estímulo para interpretar a relação do desenho e do design como propiciadora da relação entre design e arte. O desenho como disciplina que configura o conceito (ideia) é interpretado neste texto como descendente da cultura ocidental e particularmente no momento da sua afirmação renascentista. Assim, consideramos a sua origem como disegno na cultura do renascimento italiano florentino 1 , lugar onde surge a primeira academia de desenho 2 , e como configuração do entendimento do que é o projecto já que o desenho era a disciplina capaz de relacionar as várias artes chamadas do desenho (arti del disegno).

description: O que caracteriza o relacionamento humano com os objectos no início do século XXI? Para se entender o Relacionamento humano com os objectos no início do século XXI foi necessária uma investigação aos contextos préindustrial, industrial e pósindustrial, que deram origem às diferentes formas específicas de relacionamento humano com os objectos. Durante este estudo ficou evidente a necessidade da actividade de design se concentrar nas características funcionais dos contextos humanos de onde os objectos são parte integrante. Concluiu-se que a partir do início do período pósindustrial, emerge um novo tipo de produtos: os produtos dinâmicos. Este novo tipo de produtos aponta para um novo contexto de acção, um novo tipo de relacionamento humano com os objectos, e consequentemente uma nova atitude projectual consentânea com a nova realidade. Um design pósindustrial relacionado com a oferta de actividades, experiências e serviços (produtos dinâmicos), e já não apenas com a oferta de objectos avulsos (produtos estáticos), característicos da sociedade industrial. Emerge por isso a necessidade do debate sobre a actividade de design no contexto da nova realidade projectual emergente sociedade pósindustrial.

Essential dimension of algebraic groups
Creators: name: Meyer, Aurel Nathan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: We study the essential dimension of linear algebraic groups. For a group G, essential dimension is a measure for the complexity of G-torsors or, more generally, the complexity of any algebraic or geometric structure with automorphism group G. This makes essential dimension a powerful invariant with many interesting and surprising connections to problems in algebra and geometry. We show that for various classes of groups, including finite (algebraic) groups and algebraic tori, the essential dimension is related to minimal faithful representations. In many cases this renders the exact value of the essential dimension computable and we explore several of its consequences. An important open problem is the essential dimension of the projective linear group PGLn. This topic is closely related to the structure theory of central simple algebras, which may be viewed as twisted forms of the algebra of n x n matrices. We study central simple algebras with additional structure such as a distinguished Galois subfield. We prove new bounds on the essential dimension of these algebras and, as a corollary, of the group PGLn.

description: Significant similarity exists between primary cilia and sperm flagella. Both contain an axoneme and both require presence of ODF2. Therefore, primary cilia can be used as a partial model to study the assembly of sperm flagella. Recently, we have shown that Collapsin Response Mediator Protein 2 is required for ciliogenesis, localizes to the basal body, and can be transported into the primary cilium, however, the involved mechanism is not clear, but was proposed to involve kinesin proteins. KLC3 is the only known kinesin light chain expressed in elongating spermatids that develop the flagellum. In this study, we investigated the expression of CRMP2 in mouse testis and we studied if CRMP2 and KLC3 interact. We observed CRMP2 mRNA expression in testis, along with expression of the other family members CRMP1, CRMP3 and CRMP4. CRMP2 protein localized in elongating spermatids to the neck region containing the centrioles, structures that also form the basal body. We show interaction of KLC3 and CRMP2 in cell culture and discovered that the interaction requires a sequence of CRMP2 different from that which is known to bind KLC1. We also show that KLC3 expression can change the localization of CRMP2 from one associated with microtubules to one associated with complexes of KLC3 and mitochondria. Our study suggests a role for CRMP2 in the elongating spermatid.

description: For saltwater people of Australia’s east and west coasts, humpback whales hold important lore in the form of stories.For the Yuin people of the east coast, this story is one of a binding promise between whales (Gurawal) and people, as our old mentor and Elder, Uncle Max Harrison taught us.The ancestors of the whales lived on Country with our old people. One day, Gurawal went to the Elders and asked to be allowed to live in Gadu, the ocean. The Elders agreed on the condition that Gurawal would hold the lore of the ocean, returning it to the land when required, just as the people would hold the lore of the land.When Gadu rose up and covered significant parts of Country – when Bass Strait flooded and Tasmania became an island – Yuin people were confused and fearful. But, as Gadu engulfed the plains and swept up toward the mountains, Gurawul came to their aid, blowing bubbles to show a clear path. In this way, Gurawul led the people to safety on the higher grounds of Country, keeping the promise that had been made to the Elders.This species and its story are of special significance to Yuin people. It’s similar to how dingoes are held in high regard for many mobs who consider them to be spiritual relatives. That’s why those mobs have called for an end to the routine killing of dingoes.But to date, the ability to list species of cultural significance is not possible under Australian law. It’s time for that to change.

description: We study the asymptotic properties of fracture strength distributions of disordered elastic media by a combination of renormalization group, extreme value theory, and numerical simulation. We investigate the validity of the `weakest-link hypothesis' in the presence of realistic long-ranged interactions in the random fuse model. Numerical simulations indicate that the fracture strength is well described by the Duxbury-Leath-Beale (DLB) distribution which is shown to flow asymptotically to the Gumbel distribution. We explore the relation between the extreme value distributions and the DLB type asymptotic distributions, and show that the universal extreme value forms may not be appropriate to describe the non-universal low-strength tail.

Nesting ecology and community structure of cavity-nesting birds in the Neotropical Atlantic forest
Creators: name: Cockle, Kristina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Tree cavities are proposed to limit populations and structure communities of cavity-nesting birds, making these birds particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic activities that destroy potential nest trees. The greatest diversity of cavity-nesting birds is found in tropical rainforests, yet little is known about the ecology or conservation of these birds. I studied how the production, consumption and loss of tree cavities structure a cavity-nesting community in one of the five most important global biodiversity hotspots, the subtropical Atlantic forest of Argentina. I found that the cavity-nesting community in the Atlantic forest is structured primarily around the production and persistence of high, deep, non-excavated cavities in large live trees. I show the first experimental evidence that the supply of tree cavities limits the breeding density of secondary cavity-nesting birds (species that do not excavate their own cavity) in a tropical forest. Conventional tropical logging strongly reduced cavity availability: logged forest had half the basal area of primary forest, but only one third the density of large trees, nine times fewer cavities suitable for nesting birds, and 17 times fewer active nests. My results suggest a severe impact of tropical logging on the abundance of cavity-nesting birds, and a need for management strategies that conserve large live cavity-bearing trees. In contrast to North America where vertebrate excavators create most of the nest cavities for secondary cavity nesters, but similar to sites outside of North America, 80% of nests of secondary cavity nesters in the Atlantic forest were in cavities created by natural decay processes. These non-excavated cavities were often in live stems or branches. The predominance of excavated cavities in North America and non-excavated cavities elsewhere can be explained partly by high rates of persistence of excavated cavities at a site in North America and low rates of persistence of excavated cavities at a site in Europe and my site in Argentina. To conserve cavity-nesting birds of the Atlantic forest, I recommend a combination of policies, economic assistance, environmental education, and technical support for forest managers and small-scale farmers, to maintain large healthy and unhealthy trees in commercial logging operations and on farms.

description: O termo Arte Digital designa, na contemporaneidade artística, toda a arte assistida por computador e é, por ventura, um dos campos experimentais mais profícuos na intervenção directa do público com o objecto de arte, dando significado à ideia pósmoderna de representação como realidade. Tal como Bertolt Brecht e Sophie Calle compreenderam a representação como um estado intermédio entre a imaginação e a realidade, importa reflectir sobre linguagens de mediação entre estes dois estados, trazendo para o design a experiência de pensar sobre novas formas de interacção no metameio computacional, numa relação mais íntima e emotiva entre o sujeito e o objecto da acção.

description: Evidence for sexual dimorphism was investigated in the horncores of two ceratopsid dinosaurs, Triceratops and Centrosaurus apertus. A review of studies of sexual dimorphism in the vertebrate fossil record revealed methods that were selected for use in ceratopsids. Mountain goats, bison, and pronghorn were selected as exemplar taxa for a proof of principle study that tested the selected methods, and informed and guided the investigation of sexual dimorphism in dinosaurs. Skulls of these exemplar taxa were measured in museum collections, and methods of analysing morphological variation were tested for their ability to demonstrate sexual dimorphism in their horns and horncores. Skulls and isolated horncores of Triceratops and Centrosaurus were measured in museum collections, and analysed with the methods applied to the exemplar taxa. Considerable morphological variation was found in both species, and was suggestive of dimorphism in Centrosaurus, but was deemed not to be attributable to sexual dimorphism.

description: We study the orbital entanglement in a biased Aharonov-Bohm ring connected in a four-terminal setup. We find that the concurrence achieves a maximum when the magnetic flux B coincides with an integer number of a half flux quantum 0 /2. We show that this behavior is a consequence of the existence of degenerate states of the ring having opposite chirality. We also analyze the behavior of the noise as a function of and discuss the reliability of this quantity as evidence of entanglement.

description: In wind turbine control systems, the wind speed measurement is used in order to derive the optimal shaft speed for achieving the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and to adjust the pitch angle optimally for protecting the turbine from excessive loading. In this thesis, a tower detection based effective wind speed estimation method is proposed. The tower dynamics is identified using subspace system identification method. To estimate the effective wind speed, an online model-based aerodynamic thrust force estimator is designed and implemented using Kalman filter and recursive least square algorithm. The estimated aerodynamic thrust force is used as an input to a neural network estimator to solve the inverse aerodynamic thrust force equation and estimate the effective wind speed. Finally, the simulation results for effective wind speed estimation for a turbulent wind field are presented and an evaluation method based on correlation coefficient is used to validate the results.

description: Goldston, Pintz and Yıldırım have shown that if the primes have `level of distribution' $θ$ for some $θ>1/2$ then there exists a constant $C(θ)$, such that there are infinitely many integers $n$ for which the interval $[n,n+C(θ)]$ contains two primes. We show under the same assumption that for any integer $k\ge 1$ there exists constants $D(θ,k)$ and $r(θ,k)$, such that there are infinitely many integers $n$ for which the interval $[n,n+D(θ,k)]$ contains two primes and $k$ almost-primes, with all of the almost-primes having at most $r(θ,k)$ prime factors. If $θ$ can be taken as large as $1-ε$, and provided that numbers with 2, 3, or 4 prime factors also have level of distribution $1-ε$, we show that there are infinitely many integers $n$ such that the interval $[n,n+90]$ contains 2 primes and a number with at most 4 prime factors.

“Bom dia, Mr. Henneman”: acerca do realismo fotográfico

description: “The handshake”, de William Henry Fox Talbot, de 1842, é uma fotografia extremamente interessante. À primeira vista um pouco bizarra: porque razão um homem haveria de fotografar o aperto de mão de um seu criado a uma visita? Tendo em conta que não pode tratar-se de um instantâneo, impossível de captar com os meios fotográficos da época, qual a importância para Talbot desta fotografia? Na verdade, ela não está isolada no contexto do trabalho de Talbot e ao longo deste artigo procurarei mostrar como esta imagem condensa diferentes questões colocadas à fotografia e às artes ao longo das suas histórias. Nomeadamente, procurarei salientar as relações entre fotografia e pintura, no quadro um novo regime estético assente especificamente na ambiguidade que a representação fotográfica estabelece com a experiência quotidiana e na forma como a mesma traduz novos valores na relação do sujeito com a realidade, a partir do início do século XIX. Na verdade a fotografia foi o produto de um conjunto de aspirações e tradições entrelaçadas, mas a relação da sua história com a história de arte nunca foi clara, fruto de posições inconciliáveis quanto à natureza do médio. Por outro lado, numa época em que se fala da morte da fotografia, tendo como argumento de base a manipulação do digital, este artigo visa demonstrar que o falso e a manipulação foram sempre estruturais à fotografia desde o início da sua história.

description: Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is the state-ofthe- art mobile computing technology aims to alleviate resource poverty of mobile devices. Recently, several approaches and techniques have been proposed to augment mobile devices by leveraging cloud computing. However, long-WAN latency and trust are still two major issues in MCC that hinder its vision. In this paper, we analyze MCC and discuss its issues. We leverage Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to propose an arbitrated multi-tier infrastructure model named SAMI for MCC. Our architecture consists of three major layers, namely SOA, arbitrator, and infrastructure. The main strength of this architecture is in its multi-tier infrastructure layer which leverages infrastructures from three main sources of Clouds, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), and MNOs' authorized dealers. On top of the infrastructure layer, an arbitrator layer is designed to classify Services and allocate them the suitable resources based on several metrics such as resource requirement, latency and security. Utilizing SAMI facilitate development and deployment of service-based platform-neutral mobile applications.

description: Todo o objecto de arte é um objecto de civilização e de cultura. Nas suas variantes técnicas, o discurso implícito nesse objecto é testemunho de um modo particular de estar no mundo, de certos meios utilizados para construir a vida e a visão dela, dos processos sociais e culturais que são suporte de um itinerário colectivo. Olhando o passado e o presente, poderemos dizer que os artistas são agentes de civilização e de cultura, evidenciando aptidões claras, em termos científicos, técnicos e culturais, para intervir inter e pluridisciplinarmente, comunicando a sua percepção do mundo, os modos de ver que lhe conferem caracterizações decisivas, prolongando para o futuro as suas diferenças culturais. O conceito de arte e de objecto artístico tem vindo a alterar-se continuamente e, de uma forma mais acentuada nos sécs. XX e XXI. Também o desenvolvimento tecnológico acelerado verificado nos dois últimos séculos e a profunda redefinição que tem sido feita quanto aos conceitos enunciados, impele a que se usem campos experimentais muito diversos, conducentes à pluralidade da criação artística e às novas linguagens implícitas no seu uso, bem como das suas escolhas de ruptura associadas à busca incessante do “novo”.

description: We consider by means of Monte Carlo simulations the relaxation in the paramagnetic phase of the anti-ferromagnetic Ising model on a triangular lattice and of a fully-frustrated Ising model on a square lattice. In contradistinction to previous studies of the second model, we show that spin-spin correlation functions do not decay with a stretched-exponential law at low temperature but that both models display an exponential decay with logarithmic corrections that are interpreted as the signature of topological defects.
