Shrinking the plan. A middle-class wishful thinking in the outskirts of Lisbon
In the 1960s and 1970s, large-scale Portuguese architectural production was largely promoted by the
State. This took further aspects after the 1974 revolution when housing construction became one of the
pillars of the new state policy. It is in this context that Manuel Vicente develops the project for Quinta do
Bacalhau in different times: 1– Before 1974 by EPUL as part of UNOR 26 of which M. Vicente was the
coordinator, 2– From 1974 as a SAAL operation after the site was taken over by a residents' committee,
3– After 1976, as it was built outside the revolutionary period by a housing cooperative and financed by
the state. Unlike most SAAL projects – small, contained and with low-row houses –, and despite the
ideologically marked circumstances of this period, it presents somehow ostentatious. Volumes of broad
and generous features, incorporation of commerce on the ground floors like a boulevard, contrast with
the dominant model, thus raising some questions: – to what extent did a particular class position
correspond to a certain typology, style, etc.? – wouldn't this imply an aspiration to the same “rights” as
the middle-class, as far as architecture is concerned? M. Vicente remains throughout his life in an
ideologically multifaceted position. Close to the Communist Party, he has a cosmopolitan experience still
in the 1960s being in touch with the Western capitalism – in the United States and in Macao – and in
close contact with the speculation and profit markets. It has thus a double folded stance regarding the
state-sponsored housing and low standards one, as if responding to the residents were the same as
responding to himself. In this communication we intend to analyse through drawings of the project how
the notion of housing for “a middle-class” crossed through the project. This argument is revealed in a plan
of a dwelling with dimensions close to middle-class, which is later reduced to smaller areas, but “keeping”
architectural qualities.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Semiclassical Evolution of Dissipative Markovian Systems
A semiclassical approximation for an evolving density operator, driven by a
"closed" hamiltonian operator and "open" markovian Lindblad operators, is
obtained. The theory is based on the chord function, i.e. the Fourier transform
of the Wigner function. It reduces to an exact solution of the Lindblad master
equation if the hamiltonian operator is a quadratic function and the Lindblad
operators are linear functions of positions and momenta.
Initially, the semiclassical formulae for the case of hermitian Lindblad
operators are reinterpreted in terms of a (real) double phase space, generated
by an appropriate classical double Hamiltonian. An extra "open" term is added
to the double Hamiltonian by the non-hermitian part of the Lindblad operators
in the general case of dissipative markovian evolution. The particular case of
generic hamiltonian operators, but linear dissipative Lindblad operators, is
studied in more detail. A Liouville-type equivariance still holds for the
corresponding classical evolution in double phase, but the centre subspace,
which supports the Wigner function, is compressed, along with expansion of its
conjugate subspace, which supports the chord function.
Decoherence narrows the relevant region of double phase space to the
neighborhood of a caustic for both the Wigner function and the chord function.
This difficulty is avoided by a propagator in a mixed representation, so that a
further "small-chord" approximation leads to a simple generalization of the
quadratic theory for evolving Wigner functions.Comment: 33 pages - accepted to J. Phys.
Decoherence of Semiclassical Wigner Functions
The Lindblad equation governs general markovian evolution of the density
operator in an open quantum system. An expression for the rate of change of the
Wigner function as a sum of integrals is one of the forms of the Weyl
representation for this equation. The semiclassical description of the Wigner
function in terms of chords, each with its classically defined amplitude and
phase, is thus inserted in the integrals, which leads to an explicit
differential equation for the Wigner function. All the Lindblad operators are
assumed to be represented by smooth phase space functions corresponding to
classical variables. In the case that these are real, representing hermitian
operators, the semiclassical Lindblad equation can be integrated. There results
a simple extension of the unitary evolution of the semiclassical Wigner
function, which does not affect the phase of each chord contribution, while
dampening its amplitude. This decreases exponentially, as governed by the time
integral of the square difference of the Lindblad functions along the classical
trajectories of both tips of each chord. The decay of the amplitudes is shown
to imply diffusion in energy for initial states that are nearly pure.
Projecting the Wigner function onto an orthogonal position or momentum basis,
the dampening of long chords emerges as the exponential decay of off-diagonal
elements of the density matrix.Comment: 23 pg, 2 fi
Análise da logística de transporte na comercialização da produção de soja na região Centro-Oeste com foco no modal rodoviário.
A soja é uma das mais importantes commodities nacionais, sendo um grão rico em proteínas, cultivado como alimento tanto para humanos quanto para animais. No Brasil, a população não possui hábito de consumir o grão in natura, o maior consumo é do óleo de soja, o farelo é utilizado na formulação de ração para aves e suínos. A produção brasileira de soja possui uma característica de migração para as regiões de fronteira agrícola, as regiões Centro-Oeste e Norte estão afastadas dos polos consumidores e dos corredores de exportação, na maioria dos casos o modal rodoviário é utilizado, mas dispõe de rodovias em estado de conservação de uso muitas vezes inadequado, o que onera ainda mais os custos de transporte. Assim, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi descrever o processo logístico de transporte da soja em grão da região Centro-Oeste, com foco no estado de uso das principais rodovias utilizadas para o transporte de soja, fazendo uma análise dos pontos críticos que afetam o complexo
Semiclassical theory for small displacements
Characteristic functions contain complete information about all the moments
of a classical distribution and the same holds for the Fourier transform of the
Wigner function: a quantum characteristic function, or the chord function.
However, knowledge of a finite number of moments does not allow for accurate
determination of the chord function. For pure states this provides the overlap
of the state with all its possible rigid translations (or displacements). We
here present a semiclassical approximation of the chord function for large
Bohr-quantized states, which is accurate right up to a caustic, beyond which
the chord function becomes evanescent. It is verified to pick out blind spots,
which are displacements for zero overlaps. These occur even for translations
within a Planck area of the origin. We derive a simple approximation for the
closest blind spots, depending on the Schroedinger covariance matrix, which is
verified for Bohr-quantized states.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures
Nonperiodic Orbit Sums in Weyl's Expansion for Billiards
Weyl's expansion for the asymptotic mode density of billiards consists of the
area, length, curvature and corner terms. The area term has been associated
with the so-called zero-length orbits. Here closed nonperiodic paths
corresponding to the length and corner terms are constructed.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
