Control predictivo cooperativo de entornos energéticamente eficientes

In this paper is developed an analysis and study of modeling strategies, control and optimization of field-based Model Predictive Control (MPC) that will achieve an efficient energy management in campus environments, technology park or district where maximize the use of renewable energies. The problem consists of different levels of control, as they must make decisions about the end use of the available energy and therefore are different objectives to fulfill (minimize fuel use, economics aspects, etc.). This leads to a hierarchical control problem to be addressed including technical as economic MPC and MPC cooperative and distributed. An study of the state of the art is presented about formulations, techniques and strategies for optimal cooperative MPC economic management of interconnected power systems

Border Brutalism

Concepts like freedom and liberty motivate Americans on the global stage. This has racial implications past and present. Exploring these arguments, this Essay: (1) reviews Greg Grandin’s The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America and (2) proposes a framework to identify law’s place in these motivations. The End of the Myth argues that frontier myths inspired expansion west and then overseas. While this was seen as innately positive, it also downplayed racism. Now, the idea of the border drives Americans and motivates their leaders. With border brutalism policies, a new myth responds to domestic pessimism. This border myth treats racism as an inevitable reality. This Essay proposes a “Brutal Framework” to examine law’s role in this racialization. It identifies how law informs geopolitics, racial consequences, public limits, and policies. In particular, this Essay analyzes judicial rulings regarding borders and admission (Trump v. Hawaii), court powers (DHS v. Thuraissigiam), and violence (Hernández v. Mesa) as examples that provide rationales and normative footing for the border myth. This Essay describes the utility of the Framework beyond these examples. A Framework that moves away from studying security, immigration, economics, and policymaking as separate silos and sees race as a domestic and international issue

Bias and Error Mitigation in Software-Generated Data: An Advanced Search and Optimization Framework Leveraging Generative Code Models

Data generation and analysis is a fundamental aspect of many industries and disciplines, from strategic decision making in business to research in the physical and social sciences. However, data generated using software and algorithms can be subject to biases and errors. These can be due to problems with the original software, default settings that do not align with the specific needs of the situation, or even deeper problems with the underlying theories and models. This paper proposes an advanced search and optimization framework aimed at generating and choosing optimal source code capable of correcting errors and biases from previous versions to address typical problems in software systems specializing in data analysis and generation, especially those in the corporate and data science world. Applying this framework multiple times on the same software system would incrementally improve the quality of the output results. It uses Solomonoff Induction as a sound theoretical basis, extending it with Kolmogorov Conditional Complexity, a novel adaptation, to evaluate a set of candidate programs. We propose the use of generative models for the creation of this set of programs, with special emphasis on the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate high quality code

Global Migrations and Imagined Citizenship: Examples From Slavery, Chinese Exclusion, and When Questioning Birthright Citizenship

These theoretical approaches motivate this Essay to ask the following about legal citizenship determinations: (a) what is the global movement in persons that leads to the citizenship question?; and (b) what is the imagined community articulated by the legal determination of citizenship? From these questions, a legal inquiry into national identity and citizenship gains historical, global, and cultural perspectives. The next three sections briefly describe the examples of slavery, Dred Scott, and citizenship; Chinese migration to the U.S., Chinese Exclusion measures, and citizenship; and citizenship as seen from a migration experience of U.S.-pull and Mexico-push. For each of the cases their respective sections, Sections II through IV, present these legal citizenship determinations and then identify relevant global migration and imagined community contexts

Narrative Structure in 'Pulp Fiction'

In this audiovisual essay, the narrative structure of the film Pulp Fiction (Tarantino, 1994) has been analyzed, locating the essential structural vicissitudes of the film in its original montage and linear story, seeking to investigate the reasons that prompted the director to choose such a particular narrative proposal. This audiovisual essay places the two narrative proposals in the same image. The linear story appears on a large screen and the original story is presented on a panel on the right side of the image. The chronological order of the stories has been listed and arranged as counted. The proposed essay shows us that the two stories work, but that perhaps the original story is a more dynamic and innovative exercise in style than the linear story, and that in some moments the vicissitudes and structures of the two narrative proposals coincide. Also that the original story is the story of Jules and his redemption, and the linear one is the story of Butch
