To accomplishment of the present research, the initial step was a bibliographical survey of academic-scientific productions in Capes, Scielo, BDTD and of the seven (7) state public universities of Paraná databases, in verifying theses and dissertations of the Postgraduate Stricto Sensu programs. By descriptors, in which we used as categories of analysis, we were faced with the scarcity of papers that deal with coercion in the educational field. We did not find productions that related the categories searched either. In this sense, our objective lists the theoretical and philosophical matrices of the phenomena of coercion in FREUD, FOUCAULT and SKINNER. We approached a critical reflection about a philosophical, historical and anthropological foundation necessity in the educational formation before the coercion in the educational context. From the dialectic method, we investigated coercion by taking historical, philosophical analysis and its articulation with education, reflecting on the question of the theoretical-scientific basis for the performance of educators in the education field. We synthesized the theoretical contributions of FREUD, SKINNER and FOUCAULT, as important matrices of scientific production on coercion. Placed as references for scientific knowledge that presuppose coercion as a social phenomenon, present in the educational space. This research brings to the educators elements that make it possible to criticize the present coercion in the educational environment, by understanding the social, historical and cultural dialectics of the relations established around it.It subsidizes methodologies to treat coercion as a present, intentional and unintentional social phenomenon in the forms of control relations established in the school space, pointing out alternatives to the usage or presence of the social phenomenon of coercion in this environment. / Estudo científico de cunho teórico-bibliográfico, das matrizes teóricas de FREUD, SKINNER e FOUCAULT que tratam o fenômeno social da coerção. Para a realização da presente pesquisa, o passo inicial foi um levantamento bibliográfico de produções acadêmico-científicas nas bases de dados da CAPES, SCIELO, BDTD e das sete (7) universidades públicas estaduais do Paraná, nas quais verificamos teses e dissertações dos programas de pós-graduação Stricto Sensu. Destacamos que a partir de nossos descritores, os quais utilizamos como categorias de análise, nos deparamos com a escassez de trabalhos que tratassem da coerção no campo educativo.

Abordamos uma reflexão crítica a respeito da necessidade de uma fundamentação filosófica, histórica e antropológica, na formação educativa frente à coerção no contexto educacional. A partir do método dialético, investigamos a coerção tomando a análise histórica, filosófica e sua articulação com a educação, refletindo sobre a questão da fundamentação teórico-científica para a atuação de educadores no campo da educação. Elaboramos sínteses a partir das contribuições teóricas de FREUD, SKINNER e FOUCAULT, como importantes matrizes da produção científica sobre coerção. Colocados como referenciais para o conhecimento científico que pressupõem a coerção como um fenômeno social, presente no espaço educativo. Esta pesquisa traz aos educadores elementos que possibilitam a crítica da coerção presente no meio educativo, ao compreender a dialética social, histórica e cultural das relações estabelecidas em torno da mesma. Subsidia metodologias para tratar a coerção como fenômeno social presente, intencional e não intencional, nas formas de relações de controle estabelecidas no espaço escolar, apontando alternativas ao uso ou presença do fenômeno social da coerção neste ambiente.

En este trabajo se diseña y analiza un generador pseudoaleatorio basado en matrices triangulares superiores de 3 × 3 bloques con elementos en Zp, siendo p primo; adecuado para ser empleado como generador de secuencia cifrante en un criptosistema de cifrado en flujo binario aditivo. Con ese objetivo se han buscado los parámetros adecuados (primo, polinomios primitivos y tamaños de bloque) para garantizar un adecuado nivel de seguridad criptográfica. Aunque finalmente se ha propuesto un generador especifico con una parametrización concreta, se debe enfatizar que en realidad se trata de una familia de generadores que se pueden adecuar, sin pérdida de aleatoriedad ni aumento de coste computacional apreciable, a distintos requisitos impuestos por la aplicación, implementación, arquitectura, etc., con sólo variar el parámetro d de la versión optimizada. Dentro de esta familia cabe resaltar que, haciendo uso de un tipo específico de trinomio primitivo, se han logrado rendimientos competitivos con los estándares actuales de cifrado en flujo como RC4, Salsa20, AES-OFB o HC128. Dado el rendimiento alcanzado por el generador optimizado finalmente propuesto, resulta perfectamente adecuado para su uso en protocolos, sistemas y aplicaciones que requieran de criptografía simétrica. Además, considerando algunas características de seguridad adicionales, como el soporte directo de tamaños de clave variable, puede ser interesante como sustituto de otros algoritmos que han sido considerados inseguros recientemente, como RC4. El generador propuesto tiene la característica de proporcionar una extracción de 64 bytes por iteración, que resulta apropiada para su implementación tanto en software como en hardware o, incluso, en hardware reconfigurable (FPGA).

Decellularized extracellular matrices have been a growing area of interest in the biomedical engineering fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.As these materials move toward clinical applications, the immune response to these materials will be a driving force toward their success in clinical approaches. Fully digested decellularized matrix constructs derived from porcine liver, muscle and lung were created to test the adaptive immune response. Hydrogel characterization ensured that the materials had relatively similar stiffness levels to reduce variability, and in vitro studies were conducted. Each individual construct as well as a gelatin control were plated with a co-culture of macrophages and T-cells to measure T-cell proliferation. In addition standard markers of inflammation through qPCR were measured in the macrophage group. Constructs were then placed into animals for 3 and 7 days in addition to a second group that received constructs for 21 days before secondary constructs were placed. These groups were then sacrificed following 3, 7 and 14 days to measure the residual and memory-like response of the constructs. Our results showed that t-cell proliferation was increased with decellularized constructs, particularly in tissue with higher DNA content. In vivo, animals with secondary treatments showed extended inflammatory response, driven by Th1 and Th17 polarization suggesting a memory-like response due to recognition of peptides in the constructs from secondary placements.

Involutions and fixed-point-free involutions arise naturally as representatives for certain Borel orbits in invertible matrices. Similarly, partial involutions and partial fixed-point-free involutions represent certain Borel orbits in matrices which are not necessarily invertible. Inclusion relations among Borel orbit closures induce a partial order on these discrete parameterizing sets. In this dissertation we investigate the associated order complex of these posets. In particular, we prove that the order complex of the Bruhat poset of Borel orbit closures is shellable in symmetric as well as skew-symmetric matrices. / acase@tulane.edu

Location information is of extreme importance in every walk of life ranging from commercial applications such as location based advertising and location aware next generation communication networks such as the 5G networks to security based applications like threat localization and E-911 calling. In indoor and dense urban environments plagued by multipath effects there is usually a Non Line of Sight (NLOS) scenario preventing GPS based localization. Wireless localization using sensor networks provides a cost effective and accurate solution to the wireless source localization problem. Certain sensor geometries show significantly poor performance even in low noise scenarios when triangulation based localization methods are used. This brings the need for the design of an optimum sensor placement scheme for better performance in the source localization process. The optimum sensor placement is the one that optimizes the underlying Fisher Information Matrix(FIM) . This thesis will present a class of canonical optimum sensor placements that produce the optimum FIM for N-dimensional source localization N greater than or equal to 2 for a case where the source location has a radially symmetric probability density function within a N-dimensional sphere and the sensors are all on or outside the surface of a concentric outer N-dimensional sphere. While the canonical solution that we designed for the 2D problem represents optimum spherical codes, the study of 3 or higher dimensional design provides great insights into the design of measurement matrices with equal norm columns that have the smallest possible condition number. Such matrices are of importance in compressed sensing based applications. This thesis also presents an optimum sensing matrix design for energy efficient source localization in 2D. Specifically, the results relate to the worst case scenario when the minimum number of sensors are active in the sensor network. We also propose a distributed control law that guides the motion of the sensors on the circumference of the outer circle so that achieve the optimum sensor placement with minimum communication overhead. The design of equal norm column sensing matrices has a variety of other applications apart from the optimum sensor placement for N-dimensional source localization. One such application is fourier analysis in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Depending on the method used to acquire the MR image, one can choose an appropriate transform domain that transforms the MR image into a sparse image that is compressible. Some such transform domains include Wavelet Transform and Fourier Transform. The inherent sparsity of the MR images in an appropriately chosen transform domain, motivates one of the objectives of this thesis which is to provide a method for designing a compressive sensing measurement matrix by choosing a subset of rows from the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) matrix. This thesis uses the spark of the matrix as the design criterion. The spark of a matrix is defined as the smallest number of linearly dependent columns of the matrix. The objective is to select a subset of rows from the DFT matrix in order to achieve maximum spark. The design procedure leads us to an interest study of coprime conditions on the row indices chosen with the size of the DFT matrix.

In chapter 1, we present some background knowledge about random matrices, Coulomb gas, orthogonal polynomials, asymptotics of planar orthogonal polynomials and the Riemann-Hilbert problem. In chapter 2, we consider the monic orthogonal polynomials, $\{P_{n,N}(z)\}_{n=0,1,\cdots},$ that satisfy the orthogonality condition, \begin{equation}\nonumber \int_\mathbb{C}P_{n,N}(z)\overline{P_{m,N}(z)}e^{-N Q(z)}dA(z)=h_{n,N}\delta_{nm} \quad(n,m=0,1,2,\cdots), \end{equation} where $h_{n,N}$ is a (positive) norming constant and the external potential is given by $$Q(z)=|z|^2+ \frac{2c}{N}\log \frac{1}{|z-a|},\quad c>-1,\quad a>0.$$ The orthogonal polynomial is related to the interacting Coulomb particles with charge $+1$ for each, in the presence of an extra particle with charge $+c$ at $a.$ For $N$ large and a fixed ``c'' this can be a small perturbation of the Gaussian weight. The polynomial $P_{n,N}(z)$ can be characterized by a matrix Riemann--Hilbert problem \cite{Ba 2015}. We then apply the standard nonlinear steepest descent method \cite{Deift 1999, DKMVZ 1999} to derive the strong asymptotics of $P_{n,N}(z)$ when $n$ and $N$ go to $\infty.$ From the asymptotic behavior of $P_{n,N}(z),$ we find that, as we vary $c,$ the limiting distribution behaves discontinuously at $c=0.$ We observe that the mother body (a kind of potential theoretic skeleton) also behaves discontinuously at $c=0.$ The smooth interpolation of the discontinuity is obtained by further scaling of $c=e^{-\eta N}$ in terms of the parameter $\eta\in[0,\infty).$ To obtain the results for arbitrary values of $c$, we used the ``partial Schlesinger transform'' method developed in \cite{BL 2008} to derive an arbitrary order correction in the Riemann--Hilbert analysis. In chapter 3, we consider the case of multiple logarithmic singularities. The planar orthogonal polynomials $\{p_n(z)\}_{n=0,1,\cdots}$ with respect to the external potential that is given by $$Q(z)=|z|^2+ 2\sum_{j=1}^lc_j\log \frac{1}{|z-a_j|},$$ where $\{a_1, a_2, \cdots, a_l\}$ is a set of nonzero complex numbers and $\{c_1, c_2, \cdots, c_l\}$ is a set of positive real numbers. We show that the planar orthogonal polynomials $p_{n}(z)$ with $l$ logarithmic singularities in the potential are the multiple orthogonal polynomials $p_{{\bf{n}}}(z)$ (Hermite-Pad\'e polynomials) of Type II with $l$ measures of degree $|{\bf{n}}|=n=\kappa l+r,$ ${\bf{n}}=(n_1,\cdots,n_l)$ satisfying the orthogonality condition, $$ \frac{1}{2\ii}\int_{\Gamma}p_{{\bf{n}}}(z) z^k\chi_{{\bf{n}}-{\bf{e}}_j}(z)\dd z=0, \quad 0\leq k\leq n_j-1,\quad 1\leq j\leq l,$$ where $\Gamma$ is a certain simple closed curve with counterclockwise orientation and $$ \chi_{{\bf{n}}-{\bf{e}}_j}(z):= \prod_{i=1}^l(z-a_i)^{c_i }\int_{0}^{\overline{z}\times\infty}\frac{\prod_{i=1}^l(s-\bar{a}_i)^{n_i+c_i}}{(s-\bar{a}_j)\ee^{zs}}\,\dd s. $$ Such equivalence allows us to formulate the $(l+1)\times(l+1)$ Riemann--Hilbert problem for $p_n(z)$. We also find the ratio between the determinant of the moment matrix corresponding to the multiple orthogonal polynomials and the determinant of the moment matrix from the original planar measure.

Les superisolants thermiques sont largement étudiés car il permettraient de réduire les émissions de $\mathrm{CO}_2$. Nous voulons modéliser les propriétés radiatives de matrices nanoporeuses de silice qui sont les composants majeurs de ces matériaux. Des échantillons ont été fabriqués puis caractérisés sur la plage de longueur d'onde [250~nm ; 20~mm]. Nous avons ensuite calculé leurs propriétés radiatives avec une méthode inverse. Les échantillons étant constitués de particules quasisphériques, nous avons modélisé leurs propriétés radiatives avec la théorie de Mie. La notion de diffuseur représentatif nous permet d'obtenir un accord satisfaisant sur l'ensemble de la plage de longueurs d'onde étudié, sauf aux petites longueurs d'onde (\(\lambda \leq 1\, \mu \mathrm{m}\)) car la théorie de Mie ne peut pas prendre en compte la structure des agrégats. Nous avons donc développé un code basé sur l'approximation dipolaire discrète qui améliore les résultats, les calculs se basant sur des agrégats générés avec différents algorithmes.
