Describes the process of building theories from case studies and examines the strengths and weaknesses of this process. The case study research strategy is one in which the goal is to understand the dynamics present with...

Map interpretation remains a critical step in solving the structure of a macromolecule. Errors introduced at this early stage may persist throughout crystallographic refinement and result in an incorrect structure. The n...

This thesis presents the development and simulation of a modular physically based thermal model of a building and a reversible R290 (propane) air-to-water heat pump, implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and Simscape. The work ...

Adequate initial configurations for molecular dynamics simulations consist of arrangements of molecules distributed in space in such a way to approximately represent the system's overall structure. In order that the simu...

This paper discusses the events organized by Brazilian State to celebrate the so called "500 years of Brazil´s discovery", between 1998 and 2000. It seeks to identify the ideologies found in these activities, which reve...

"The industrial applications of Additive manufacturing technologies and systems are quickly increasing due to the high flexibility in the part design allowing for mass customisation and reduction of material usage. Besid...

The European demonstration fusion power plant (EU-DEMO) project intends to prove the commercial viability of nuclear fusion as a source of safe and clean energy. This fusion power plant will be fueled by a 1:1 deuterium-...

Computer simulations using Cellular Automata (CA) have been applied with considerable success in diferent scientific areas, such as chemistry, biochemistry, economy, physics, etc. In this work we use CA in order to speci...

"In the ICELABPatagonia project, different laboratories for Karukinka National Park in Chile were designed. The main objective of these laboratories was to provide shelter against the area’s tough weather conditions, s...

Abstract Psychology after World War II became a science largely devoted to healing. It concentrated on repairing damage using a disease model of human functioning. This almost exclusive attention to pathology neglected t...

Both convolutional and recurrent operations are building blocks that process one local neighborhood at a time. In this paper, we present non-local operations as a generic family of building blocks for capturing long-rang...
