In this thesis, we discuss three image processing topics: High Dynamic Range (HDR) image creation in scenes with motion, Tone Mapping (TM), and Demosaicking. The first part of this thesis focuses on the creation of HDR images using gradient fusion techniques, and proposes a method that deals with motion and avoids bleeding and ghost artifacts. In the second part, we tackle the TM problem, whose goal is to produce a low dynamic range picture from an HDR image that reproduces the sensation of an observer in the scene. We review the perceptual principles that we find important for TM purposes and present a new method that compares well to the state of the art. Finally, we propose a new method to reconstruct the three color channels of a picture taken with a Bayer filter. This problem is called Demosaicking and will be presented in the third part of this thesis. / En esta tesis tratamos tres temas de procesamiento de imagen: creación de imágenes de alto rango dinámico o HDR, Tone Mapping (TM) y Demosaicking. En la primera parte proponemos un método para la creación de imágenes HDR con movimiento que permite generar resultados sin artefactos de tipo bleeding y ghosting. En la segunda parte de la tesis tratamos el problema de TM cuyo objetivo es comprimir el rango dinámico de una imagen HDR para ser mostrada en una pantalla o impresa, simulando lo mejor posible la percepción de un sujeto en la escena. Presentaremos los principios sicofísicos que consideramos relevantes para TM y propondremos un método nuevo que mejora los resultados del estado del arte. Finalmente, en la tercera parte presentamos un método de Demosaicking o reconstrucción de los tres canales de color de una imagen tomada con un filtro de Bayer.

This dissertation deals with the religious practices of the settlers in the central highlands of Palestine, during the pre-monarchic period (ca 1200-1000 BCE; the so-called ‘period of the Judges’), as revealed by archaeology (cultic artifacts and sites, as well as burial customs and practices). The religious practices of the settlers have been shown to reflect continuity with, and were practically indistinguishable from, those of the Late Bronze Canaanite cult, suggesting that the majority of the settlers were originally Canaanites, most probably from the coastal city-states (ie, the religious practices have been used as an ‘ethnic marker’). It has also been proposed that one of the motivating factors for the migration of people from the coastal region to the central highlands was a fairly dramatic climatic shift, one which resulted in the area becoming increasingly and significantly drier from the late 13th century BCE until about 900 BCE. / Thesis (M.A. (Biblical Archaelogy))

The general objective is to examine the possibility of the use of historical artifacts, at teaching activities, at graduation courses for teachers of Elementary School and of the first grades of High School. Artifact, at this work, is comprehended as objects, documents, monuments, images and other kinds of materials that make sense to the Human actions at the past and that represent what have been said and done at the Human history. At the construction of the theoretical-methodological way of the research we have based ourselves upon the ideas of the authors that are engaged at the teachers formation; at researchers adherents to the use of Mathematics History (MH) as a methodological resource, and at studies accomplished that elucidate the role of the artifacts at the history and as a mediatory element of learning. We defend the thesis that the utilization of historical artifacts at teaching activities enables the increasing of the knowledge, the development of competencies and essential abilities to the teacher acting, as well as interact at different areas of the knowledge, that provides a conception of formation where the teacher improves his learning, learning-doing and learning-being. We have adopted a qualitative research approach with a theoretical and pratic study disposition about the elements that contribute to the teachers works at the classroom, emphasizing the role of the Mathematics history at the teacher s formation and as a pedagogical resource at the mathematics classroom; the knowledge, the competencies and abilities of the historical artifacts as an integrative link between the different areas of the knowledge. As result, we emphasize that the proposition of using the MH, through learning activities, at the course of teacher graduation is relevant, because it allows the investigation of ideas that originate the knowledge generated at every social context, considering the contribution of the social and cultural, political and economical aspects at this construction, making easy the dialog among the areas and inside of each one The historical artifact represents a research source that can be deciphered, comprehended, questioned, extracting from it information about knowledge of the past, trace and vestiges of the culture when it was created, consisting of a testimony of a period. These aspects grant to it consideration to be explored as a mediatory element of the learning. The artifacts incorporated at teaching activities of the graduation courses for teachers promote changes on the view about the Mathematics teaching, in view of to privilege the active participation of the student at the construction of his knowledge, at the reflection about the action that has been accomplished, promoting stimulus so the teachers can create their own artifacts, and offer, either, traces linking the Mathematics with others knowledge areas. / O trabalho situa-se no campo de pesquisa que advoga o uso da Hist?ria da Matem?tica, calcada na utiliza??o de artefatos hist?ricos, em atividades de ensino, na sala de aula de Matematica, em cursos de forma??o de professores da Educa??o Infantil e anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental.

abstract: Eat Your Heart Out is a visually rich qualitative ethnic food research that examines consumption, production, and distribution practices transnationally. Through the example of Mumbai’s street foods, the study aims to discover how design participates in fashioning the street food experiences locally and globally. Food is an important cultural artifact in the world. However, past research in design suggests that the discipline has mainly focused on food as a catalyst for creativity and imagination or as a tool to examine materialistic, economical, sensorial, and emotional connections. Studying the user-focused involvement in the creation of food artifacts and focusing on cultural, global, and historical aspects of that participation are important to address the gaps in the knowledge required to solve increasingly “wicked problems” (Buchanan, 1992; Rittel, 1971). To achieve this goal, Eat Your Heart Out implemented a comparative practice-based study of the Indian street foods in Mumbai and Phoenix to examine consumption, production, and distribution practices at both places. The methodological design was highly multi-disciplinary in nature and included rapid ethnographic assessment, interviews, visual research, and a generative method of co-creation. The study revealed that street foods as cultural artifacts were deeply rooted in specific traditional values specific to the context, which significantly influenced personal and communal consumption, production, and distribution practices of Indian street foods in Mumbai and Phoenix. The values of standardization, formality, and higher food regulation practices limited the diversity and radically transformed the central values of Mumbai’s street foods when the foods re-territorialized in Phoenix. This resulted in lowering the consumption. Eat Your Heart Out presents cultural and practical insights into the interactions between contexts, artifacts, practices, and participants. Eat Your Heart Out recommends new frameworks of correlation for various consumption and production practices and suggests how street food artifacts alter when they move across cultures. Such knowledge can be valuable for similar ethnic food culture studies and the development of innovative research tools incorporating transnational and multidisciplinary methods in the future. On a broader scope, Eat Your Heart Out provides a unique opportunity to study a culture that has not been examined by scholars much in the past. It also focuses on gaining knowledge about ethnic culinary practices of Indian immigrants in the United States and encouraging enhanced cross-cultural acceptance. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Design, Environment and the Arts 2018

abstract: This dissertation addresses challenges pertaining to multi-junction (MJ) solar cells from material development to device design and characterization. Firstly, among the various methods to improve the energy conversion efficiency of MJ solar cells using, a novel approach proposed recently is to use II-VI (MgZnCd)(SeTe) and III-V (AlGaIn)(AsSb) semiconductors lattice-matched on GaSb or InAs substrates for current-matched subcells with minimal defect densities. CdSe/CdTe superlattices are proposed as a potential candidate for a subcell in the MJ solar cell designs using this material system, and therefore the material properties of the superlattices are studied. The high structural qualities of the superlattices are obtained from high resolution X-ray diffraction measurements and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy images. The effective bandgap energies of the superlattices obtained from the photoluminescence (PL) measurements vary with the layer thicknesses, and are smaller than the bandgap energies of either the constituent material. Furthermore, The PL peak position measured at the steady state exhibits a blue shift that increases with the excess carrier concentration. These results confirm a strong type-II band edge alignment between CdSe and CdTe. The valence band offset between unstrained CdSe and CdTe is determined as 0.63 eV±0.06 eV by fitting the measured PL peak positions using the Kronig-Penney model. The blue shift in PL peak position is found to be primarily caused by the band bending effect based on self-consistent solutions of the Schrödinger and Poisson equations. Secondly, the design of the contact grid layout is studied to maximize the power output and energy conversion efficiency for concentrator solar cells. Because the conventional minimum power loss method used for the contact design is not accurate in determining the series resistance loss, a method of using a distributed series resistance model to maximize the power output is proposed for the contact design. It is found that the junction recombination loss in addition to the series resistance loss and shadowing loss can significantly affect the contact layout. The optimal finger spacing and maximum efficiency calculated by the two methods are close, and the differences are dependent on the series resistance and saturation currents of solar cells. Lastly, the accurate measurements of external quantum efficiency (EQE) are important for the design and development of MJ solar cells. However, the electrical and optical couplings between the subcells have caused EQE measurement artifacts. In order to interpret the measurement artifacts, DC and small signal models are built for the bias condition and the scan of chopped monochromatic light in the EQE measurements. Characterization methods are developed for the device parameters used in the models. The EQE measurement artifacts are found to be caused by the shunt and luminescence coupling effects, and can be minimized using proper voltage and light biases. Novel measurement methods using a pulse voltage bias or a pulse light bias are invented to eliminate the EQE measurement artifacts. These measurement methods are nondestructive and easy to implement. The pulse voltage bias or pulse light bias is superimposed on the conventional DC voltage and light biases, in order to control the operating points of the subcells and counterbalance the effects of shunt and luminescence coupling. The methods are demonstrated for the first time to effectively eliminate the measurement artifacts. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Electrical Engineering 2012

Para isso, considera-se que: 1) websites (e suas páginas) podem ser caracterizados pelos meios de representação que utilizam (texto, imagem, animação, som, vídeo etc.) e pelas conexões/interligações que realizam com suas páginas internas ou com outras páginas na Web e 2) websites podem ser entendidos como Nichos Cognitivos, que são constituídos por diversos artefatos, que, além de cognitivos, apresentam propriedades semióticas específicas, concebidas ou oportunisticamente usadas para melhorar, ou simplesmente alterar, certas competências cognitivas. Durante a pesquisa, foi definida uma amostra aleatória de 70 aulas para aplicação de um instrumento quantitativo. Após isso, analisando o mapeamento resultante, foram listadas 7 aulas para a análise qualitativa. A discussão dos resultados levou a algumas afirmações: 1) a criação de uma aula online é um processo educacional, cognitivamente desenvolvido e apoiado por um nicho já construído (o Criar Aula); 2) as aulas já prontas são produtos educacionais que são publicadas no Sugestões de Aula, compondo um repositório que opera como um nicho cognitivo à medida que oferece possibilidades de ação (escolha de aulas diversas) mediante determinadas contingências educacionais; 3) a colaboração docente em um website, como um processo de cognição distribuída, é (ou possui condições de ser) potencializada, visto a facilidade de interconexão entre diversos artefatos e pessoas, formando nichos cognitivos específicos. / This is a descriptive study that investigates the structure and functioning of the educational website Portal do Professor section Espaço da Aula, taking as their units of analysis the tool for creating lesson plans (Criar Aula) and the resulting pages of the work of creating lesson plans (available at Sugestões de Aula). For this, it is considered that: 1) websites (and its pages) can be characterized by means of representation used (text, image, animation, sound, video, etc.) and the connections/interconnections that carry out with your internal pages or with other Web pages and 2) websites can be understood as Cognitive Niche, which consist of various artifacts, which, in addition to cognitive, have specific, designed or used opportunistically semiotic properties to improve, or simply change certain cognitive skills. During the research, was set a random sample of 70 lesson plans to application of a quantitative instrument. After that, analyzing the resulting mapping, 7 lesson plans were listed for qualitative analysis. The discussion led to some statements: 1) the creation of an online lesson plan is an educational process, cognitively developed and supported by a niche already built (the Criar Aula), 2) the ready lesson plans are educational products that are published in Sugestões de Aulas, composing a repository that operates as a cognitive niche as offering possibilities for action (choice of several lesson plans) under certain educational contingencies, 3) teacher collaboration on a website as a process of distributed cognition, is (or is able to be) potentiated, because facilitates the interconnection between various artifacts and people forming specific cognitive niches.

One of the negative impacts refers to the high amount of waste produced, which can be reduced through the industrialization of construction, that is, through the reduction of services at construction sites and transferring them to the factories. In this sense, the use of prefabricated structures may reduce the production of waste arising from the implementation phase of structures, such as molds and buttresses. However, if the production of the prefabricated elements in plants is not properly planned, the problems of waste production can be transferred from construction site for the industry environment. This fact was observed in some industries of artifacts and pre-molded concrete. The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology for solid waste management through the integration of the methodologies of environmental management system, cleaner production and suggestion already published of project management of construction waste envisaged by Resolution nº 307 Conama and applies this methodology in an industry artifacts and pre-cast concrete. For this, two processes of an industry of Goiânia were selected, which served as a pilot in the implementation of model solid waste management proposed. By implementing this model, it was possible to quantify the waste produced in the processes studied, as well as make significant improvements in its characterization, segregation, packaging, transportation and disposal through the implementation of opportunities for cleaner production highlighted. Moreover, mechanisms were created for the own employees were responsible for maintaining the proposed activities. As result of this study, a database about the chain of waste in the processes studied was produced, which can be used in future for the proposition of other opportunities for cleaner production in industry studied. Still, the methodology of waste management proposal can serve as a model for replication in other industries of artifacts and pre-cast concrete / A cadeia produtiva da indústria da construção é responsável por diversos impactos positivos e negativos no ambiente construído. Um dos impactos negativos se refere à elevada quantidade de resíduos gerados, os quais podem ser reduzidos por meio da industrialização da construção civil, isto é, por meio da redução dos serviços nos canteiros de obra e transferência dos mesmos para fábricas. Neste sentido, o emprego de estruturas pré-fabricadas pode reduzir a geração dos resíduos oriundos da fase de execução das estruturas, tais como as fôrmas e os escoramentos. Entretanto, se o processo de produção dos elementos pré-fabricados em fábricas não for devidamente planejado, pode-se transferir o problema da geração de resíduos do canteiro de obra para o ambiente da indústria, fato este observado em algumas indústrias de artefatos e pré-moldados de concreto. O objetivo deste trabalho é propor uma metodologia para a gestão de resíduos sólidos a partir da integração das metodologias do sistema de gestão ambiental, da produção mais limpa e das sugestões, já publicadas, de projetos de gerenciamento de resíduos de construção preconizados pela Resolução nº 307 do Conama e aplicar essa metodologia em uma indústria de artefatos e pré-moldados de concreto. Para isso, dois processos de uma indústria de Goiânia foram selecionados, os quais serviram como piloto na implantação do modelo de gestão de resíduos sólidos proposto. Com a implantação desse modelo, foi possível quantificar os resíduos gerados nos processos estudados, bem como realizar melhorias significativas na sua caracterização, segregação, acondicionamento, transporte e destinação final por meio da implantação de oportunidades de produção mais limpa evidenciadas. Além disso, foram criados mecanismos para que os próprios colaboradores se responsabilizassem pela manutenção das atividades propostas. Como resultado desse estudo, criou-se um banco de dados sobre a cadeia de resíduos nos processos estudados dentro da indústria, o qual poderá ser futuramente utilizado para a proposição de outras oportunidades de produção mais limpa na indústria estudada. Ainda, a metodologia de gestão de resíduos proposta pode servir de modelo para reaplicação em outras indústrias de artefatos e pré-moldados de concreto

The objective is analyze the deposition system of the archaeological vestiges and characterizing the black earth of indian and ceramic artifacts related to these sites. The methodology process adopted is based on a morphological, mineralogical and chemical analysis of soil samples, sediments and ceramic traces. The soils of the region are classified as immature profiles, formed on Alter do Chao formation, the mineralogy is represented by quartz, kaolinite, hematite, gibbsite and goethite, the sediments come from alluvial deposits that constitute a clay-sandy material, mineralogically composed by 2: 1 clay, quartz and iron oxides. The black soil can reach 40 to 220 cm depth, with a sandy granulometry for Pontão site and a sandy-clay for Santa Helena site, consisting of quartz and kaolinite and high proportions of Ti, Zr, Ag and Mn. Ceramics artifacts are commonly associated as pre colonial period: Incisal Edge Tradition an the Saracá regional Tradition, being mineralogically constituted by quartz, kaolinite, smithite, illite, gibbsite, hematite, feldspar, phosphates, and presents additional seasonings to the blend of cauixi, cariape and ceramics shards, which are distinguished only by the proportion of this constituents for each of the studied sites. Based on the analyzes of ceramic data is possible to infer two places as being the material provider: the first, associated to the immature profiles is formed on the cretaceous deposits and the second, associated to the sediments is coming from the alluvial deposits present in the lakes of the region, which currently provides primary resources for the manufacture of tiles and bricks. For questioning about the origin of the resource areas and manufacturing of the artifacts from the studied sites, we can correlate that the ceramics were produced locally with the raw material available in the region. / Este trabalho apresenta as contribuições da Geoarqueologia no estudo sobre o assentamento dos sítios arqueológicos Pontão (AM-SL-06) e Santa Helena (AM-SL-07), localizados na região do baixo rio Urubu, no município de Silves, Amazonas. O objetivo está em analisar o ambiente de deposição dos vestígios arqueológicos e caracterizar a terra preta de índio e artefatos cerâmicos relacionados a estes sítios. A metodologia adota está na analises morfológica, mineralógica e química das amostras de solos, sedimentos e vestígios cerâmicos. Os solos da região são classificados como perfis imaturos, formados sobre a Formação Alter do chão, com mineralogia representada por quartzo, caulinita, hematita, gibbsita e goethita, os sedimentos são provenientes dos Depósitos Aluvionares que constituem um material argilo-arenoso, compostos mineralogicamente por argilominerais do tipo 2:1, quartzo e óxidos de ferro. A terra preta nestes sítios alcança profundidades entre 40 a 220 cm, com granulometria arenosa para o Sítio Pontão e argilo-arenosa para o Sítio Santa Helena, constituídas por quartzo e caulinita e proporções altas de Ti, Zr, Ag e Mn. Os artefatos cerâmicos são associados as fases cerâmicas pré-coloniais: Tradição Borda Incisa e a Tradição Regional Saracá, sendo constituídas mineralogicamente por quartzo, caulinita, esmectitas, illita, gibbsita, hematita, feldspatos, fosfatos e apresentam temperos adicionados a sua mistura de cauixi, cariapé e cacos cerâmicos, sendo diferenciados apenas pelas proporções destes constituintes para cada um dos sítios estudados. Com base nas análises feitas é possível atribuir dois lugares como áreas de proveniência de matéria prima desses artefatos cerâmicos: o primeiro, associado aos perfis de solos imaturos formados sobre os depósitos cretáceos e o segundo, associado aos sedimentos provenientes dos depósitos aluvionares presentes nos lagos da região, que atualmente constituem depósitos de matéria prima para a fabricação de telhas e tijolos. Para questionamentos sobre áreas fontes e fabricação destes artefatos dos sítios estudados, podemos correlacionar que as cerâmicas foram produzidas localmente com a matéria prima disponível na região.

The methodology used in this paper is the field work conceded in the Tapi'itãwa village, located in the territory of Urubu Branco MT, with records in the field’s diary, photographic and audiovisual. Tapirapé has its roots on the Tupi language, and its territory is located in the northeastern state of Mato Grosso. The research was based on Wagley Charles (1988), Baldus Hebert (1972) and Els Lagrou (2007) works as the main theoretical references to produce this ethnography. The body painting here is understood as the reasons executed on the bodies of people, and these reasons are present both in the bodies of people, but also in the masks, bowls and other artifacts produced by the Tapirapé. The Shaman is the chief warrior and he has the power of healing, of disease, and death. In addition, the shaman is responsible for protecting the village. Body painting as artifacts and shamanism operate in the bodies among Tapirapé. Finally, I believe in the Shaman as a demiurge as it connects the visible and invisible to grasp and pass on the knowledge to the Tapirapé. Therefore, if the Shaman is responsible for bringing this knowledge, the school appears as an organization that contributes to the preservation and transmission of knowledge. Nonetheless, the school is not exempt of critics among the Tapirapé. Also, the insertion of artifacts in museums generates debate on how to place and how to expose these artifacts. The image is one of the components of this ethnography, as well as the photographs in this paper, and of course the shamanism and the rituals that also denote to images. Furthermore, this research contains two videos about Tapirapé body painting and shamanism. / O objetivo desta tese é pensar a relação entre a produção de artefatos, pintura corporal e xamanismo entre o povo indígena Tapirapé,- autodenominação Apyãwa- e como esses saberes entrecruzam-se e são compartilhados dentro e fora da aldeia. A metodologia utilizada é o trabalho de campo, realizado na aldeia Tapi'itãwa, localizada no território Urubu Branco MT, com registros em diário de campo, fotográficos e em audiovisual. Os Tapirapé têm a língua de tronco tupi, e seu território está localizado no nordeste do estado de Mato Grosso. Busquei como principais referências para essa etnografia Charles Wagley (1988), Hebert Baldus (1972), Els Lagrou (2007). A pintura corporal, aqui, é entendida como os motivos realizados nos corpos das pessoas, e esses motivos estão presentes tanto nos corpos das pessoas quanto nas máscaras, cuias e demais artefatos produzidos pelos Tapirapé. O Xamã é o principal guerreiro e tem o poder da cura, da doença, e da morte e é o responsável pela proteção da aldeia. A pintura corporal, os artefatos e o xamanismo operam na transformação dos corpos entre os Tapirapé. Como reflexão final, penso o Xamã como um demiurgo, pois ele conecta o visível e invisível para apreender e repassar os saberes para os Tapirapé. Se o Xamã é o responsável por trazer esses saberes, a escola surge como uma instituição que contribui para a manutenção transmissão desses saberes. Mas ela não é isenta de críticas entre os Tapirapé. A inserção dos artefatos nos museus gera debate sobre como inserir e como expor esses artefatos. A imagem é uma das vertentes dessa etnografia, além das imagens aqui inseridas, o xamanismo e os rituais são compostos por imagens. Integra esta pesquisa, também, a realização de dois vídeos sobre a pintura corporal e xamanismo Tapirapé.

Neste fotolivro, diferentes recursos semióticos interagem uns com os outros, com a intenção de recriar uma nova experiência semiótica sobre o processo de demolição do edifício homônimo. Em oposição à noção trivial de ícone como um tipo específico de signo que está para seu objeto em uma relação de similaridade, iremos analisar o fotolivro como um ícone cuja principal característica definidora é a possibilidade de descoberta de novas informações sobre seu objeto através de sua manipulação. Esta característica específica dos ícones é chamada de critério operacional de iconicidade. O propósito deste trabalho é descrever e analisar as interações entre os diversos recursos semióticos encontrados no fotolivro Palast der Republik, explorando não apenas o critério operacional de iconicidade, mas também o papel de diagramas nos processos de raciocínio e a função de modelos como artefatos epistêmicos. Portanto, será apresentado como recursos semióticos com características morfológicas diferentes interagem no fotolivro a fim de se criar um artefato epistêmico diagramático de seu objeto: o processo de demolição do Palast der Republik. / Palast der Republik, by the photographer Christoph Rokitta, is an independent photobook published in 2013 in Berlin. In Palast der Republik different semiotic resources interact with one another, in order to reveal a new experience about the demolition process of the homonymous building. In opposition to the trivial notion of icon as sign that stands for its object in a relation of similarity, we are going to analyze the book as an icon whose main feature is the possibility of discovering new information about its object through its manipulation. This specific feature is called operation criteria of iconicity. Our aim is to describe and analyze the relations between semiotic resources in this photobook, by exploring not only the operational criterion of iconicity, but also the roles of diagrams in reasoning, and how models function models as epistemic artifacts. Therefore, it will be presented here how semiotic resources with different morphological features in the photobook interact in order to create a diagrammatic epistemic artifact of its object: the demolition of the Palast der Republik.
