Domótica e a requalificação de edifícios

Para a elaboração deste artigo técnico foi necessário adoptar uma estrutura que possibilitasse fornecer um estudo teóricoprático, transversal e equilibrado, das diferentes tecnologias domóticas. Inicialmente realizou-se um pequeno estudo teórico das tecnologias domóticas mais relevantes, de uma forma transversal e resumida (Capítulo 2). Em função do estudo teórico do capítulo anterior, no Capítulo 3 realizou-se uma análise mais prática, em que ao invés de abordar um caso prático existente, de grandes instalações com o seu valor emblemático, optou-se por utilizar como modelo o edifício F do Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto e apresentar uma das soluções possíveis de implementação de tecnologias domóticas em edifícios já existentes (aplicação do conceito de requalificação de edifícios). Depois da exposição do caso prático, expôs-se o futuro e oportunidades de mercado da domótica ou sistema de gestão técnica centralizada, mais focalizado para o mundo académico (Capítulo 4). Por fim, são tecidas as conclusões e considerações finais do artigo (capitulo 5). Esse artigo foi elaborado sob o ponto de vista de integrador. Por outras palavras, procurou-se realizar uma aproximação da realidade prática a nível de implementação das tecnologias domóticas em edifícios, ao dar uma linha de conhecimento abrangente e ao mesmo acessível aos leitores, que muitas das vezes esse tema acaba por transmitir conceitos errados

Selective enhancement of Sel\'enyi rings induced by the cross-correlation between the interfaces of a two-dimensional randomly rough dielectric film

By the use of both perturbative and non-perturbative solutions of the reduced Rayleigh equation, we present a detailed study of the scattering of light from two-dimensional weakly rough dielectric films. It is shown that for several rough film configurations, Sel\'enyi interference rings exist in the diffusely scattered light. For film systems supported by dielectric substrates where only one of the two interfaces of the film is weakly rough and the other planar, Sel\'enyi interference rings are observed at angular positions that can be determined from simple phase arguments. For such single-rough-interface films, we find and explain by a single scattering model that the contrast in the interference patterns is better when the top interface of the film (the interface facing the incident light) is rough than when the bottom interface is rough. When both film interfaces are rough, Sel\'enyi interference rings exist but a potential cross-correlation of the two rough interfaces of the film can be used to selectively enhance some of the interference rings while others are attenuated and might even disappear. This feature may in principle be used in determining the correlation properties of interfaces of films that otherwise would be difficult to access

Gyrokinetic studies of core turbulence features in ASDEX Upgrade H-mode plasmas

Gyrokinetic validation studies are crucial in developing confidence in the model incorporated in numerical simulations and thus improving their predictive capabilities. As one step in this direction, we simulate an ASDEX Upgrade discharge with the GENE code, and analyze various fluctuating quantities and compare them to experimental measurements. The approach taken is the following. First, linear simulations are performed in order to determine the turbulence regime. Second, the heat fluxes in nonlinear simulations are matched to experimental fluxes by varying the logarithmic ion temperature gradient within the expected experimental error bars. Finally, the dependence of various quantities with respect to the ion temperature gradient is analyzed in detail. It is found that density and temperature fluctuations can vary significantly with small changes in this parameter, thus making comparisons with experiments very sensitive to uncertainties in the experimental profiles. However, cross-phases are more robust, indicating that they are better observables for comparisons between gyrokinetic simulations and experimental measurements

Le fait religieux dans les organisations contemporaines : principaux constats et proposition d’un modèle d’analyse et d’action pour le contexte français.

A la lumière des publications et des informations, la religion fait un retour remarqué dans les organisations contemporaines. La mondialisation des échanges, les mouvements migratoires et le retour du religieux recomposent le tissu social et amène à de nouvelles revendications religieuses dans la sphère du travail. Les demandes croissantes en matière d’alimentation, d’espace de prière, de ports vestimentaires, de temps de fêtes, de séparation des genre créent un peu partout des zones de friction, des tensions, voire des rejets et des conflits entre certains groupes, certaines minorités et majorités, certains immigrés et autochtones. Ces questions étant de plus en plus présentes et particulièrement sensibles, il nous a semblé important d’en faire l’objet d’une communication. Celle-ci fera appel à un double regard ; un regard anthropologique du fait religieux et un regard d’un spécialiste du management des ressources humaines, qui a lui-même une perspective anthropologique. Après avoir fait un rappel de certains éléments clés du fait religieux et des principaux constats observés aujourd’hui dans les organisations, les auteurs s’intéresseront aux différentes stratégies mises en place par celles-ci, notamment en France, à cet égard et aux conséquences qu’elles peuvent avoir sur le vivre ensemble dans les univers organisés. Dans la dernière partie, ils présenteront des propositions pour faire face à ces nouvelles demandes qui respectent les droits universels et le désir du vivre ensemble, notamment dans le contexte français.Religion et organisation;

Morphological variability in second language learners: an examination of electrophysiological and production data

We examined potential sources of morphological variability in adult L1 English L2 Spanish learners, with a focus on L1 L2 similarity, morphological markedness, and knowledge type (receptive vs. expressive). Experiment 1 uses event related potentials to examine noun adjective number (present in L1) and gender agreement (absent in L1) in online sentence comprehension (receptive knowledge). For each feature, markedness was manipulated, such that half of the critical noun adjective combinations were feminine (marked) and the other half, masculine; half were used in the plural (marked) and the other half in the singular. With this set up, we examined learners’ potential overreliance on unmarked forms or “defaults” (singular/masculine). Experiment 2 examines similar dependencies in spoken sentence production (expressive knowledge). Results showed that learners (n=22) performed better with number than gender overall, but their brain responses to both features were qualitatively native like (i.e., P600), even though gender was probed with nouns that do not provide strong distributional cues to gender. In addition, variability with gender agreement was better accounted for by lexical (as opposed to syntactic) aspects. Learners showed no advantage for comprehension over production. They also showed no systematic evidence of reliance on morphological defaults, although their online processing was sensitive to markedness in a native like manner. Overall, these results suggest that there is facilitation for properties of the L2 that exist in the L1 and that markedness impacts L2 processing, but in a native like manner. These results also speak against proposals arguing that adult L2ers have deficits at the level of the morphology or the syntax

Form-Finding and Structural Shape Optimization of the Metal 3D-Printed Node

In the last few years, considerable attention has been paid to additive manufacturing (AM) technologies to redesign and modify the industrial products with regard to its merits. At the initial stage of technology development, AM was mostly used as a building platform for prototyping, whereas its usage has been recently extended to industrial applications. Amid the different methods of AM technology, the development of metal AM, in particular, Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and metal Binder Jetting (MBJ), facilitate the production of high-quality and complex parts in several sectors of industry such as aerospace, medical, architecture and civil engineering. Understanding the novel advantage of metal 3D-printing in the development of high-performance and functional parts for applications in the construction sector enables researchers to propose different design and form-finding methods for construction components
