Dynamic Variational Autoencoders for Visual Process Modeling

This work studies the problem of modeling visual processes by leveraging deep generative architectures for learning linear, Gaussian representations from observed sequences. We propose a joint learning framework, combining a vector autoregressive model and Variational Autoencoders. This results in an architecture that allows Variational Autoencoders to simultaneously learn a non-linear observation as well as a linear state model from sequences of frames. We validate our approach on artificial sequences and dynamic textures

Grain growth in ultrafine-grained Y-TZP ceramics

Grain growth in dense ultrafine-grained (120–600 nm) tetragonal ZrO2-Y2O3 ceramics is studied as a function of temperature. At all temperatures investigated both segregation and phase partitioning occur. It is argued that at temperatures ≤ 1150 °C grain growth is not significantly inhibited by solid solution drag or by phase partitioning. At higher temperatures the grain growth behaviour can be explained by the models of solid solution drag and/or phase partitioning depending on conditions.\u

Production of defect-poor nanostructured ceramics of yttria-zirconia

For the production of nanostructured ceramics of yttria-zirconia four powders differing in agglomerate strength, agglomerate size and crystallite size are compared. An ultra-fine-grained ceramic with a final density of 98% and a grain size of 0.18 μm could be produced from a hydrothermally crystallized ethanol-washed powder. The remaining porosity is caused by some residual defects which are present due to the irregular shape of the agglomerates and which cause improper die filling. A commercially available powder was also investigated. This powder consists of homogeneous porous, spherical, weak agglomerates. The resulting ceramic has a high density (≥ 99%) but cannot be obtained with ultra-fine grain size (minimum grain size is 0.3 μm). The air-crystallized ethanol-washed powder resulted, after sintering, in larger porosities. In this case the powder consists of weak and some strong agglomerates and a few defect clusters are found in the sintered ceramic which limit the maximum attainable density to 92%. The air-crystallized water-washed powder consists of agglomerates which are too strong to be fractured during compaction. The sintered ceramics contain a large amount of porosity (20%) which is attributed to the presence of inter-agglomerate pores.\u

Além das magistraturas: Interpretações, práticas e sentidos das burocracias judiciais

Se propone un abordaje metodológico al análisis del Poder Judicial desde las prácticas cotidianas de sus agentes burocrátiques; una mirada capilar que devele los marcos subjetivos, los dilemas y las prácticas que producen la política judicial. Abandonar a las sentencias como espacio privilegiado de análisis sobre el discurso judicial desjerarquiza a les magistrades y deshomogeneiza al aparato. Una mirada feminista puede dar cuenta lo invisible de las emociones y afectaciones que atraviesan les agentes en su labor diaria al resolver casos. Esta propuesta metodológica nutre al programa de Reforma judicial transfeminista ya que al humanizar las prácticas de les agentes, es posible identificar sujetes con quienes tejer alianzas estratégicas dentro del sistema.We suggest a methodological approach to analyze the Judiciary on the basis of the daily practices of its bureaucratic agents; a capillary look that reveals the subjective frameworks, the dilemmas and the practices that produce judicial politics. By abandoning rulings as a privileged space for analysis of judicial discourse we de-hierarchize magistrates and de-homogenize the apparatus. A feminist perspective can give account of the invisible emotions and affectations that agents go through in their daily work when solving cases. This methodological proposal nourishes the Transfeminist Judicial Reform program as it allows us to humanize the practices of the agents and enables us to identify subjects with whom to weave strategic alliances within the system.Este artigo propõe uma abordagem metodológica ao analisar o Poder Judiciário desde práticas cotidianas de seus agentes burocrátiques; um olhar capilar que devolve os marcos subjetivos dos dilemas e das práticas que produzem a política judicial.
