Emoções faciais desempenham um papel fundamental nas relações interpessoais humanas. Certas doenças psiquiátricas podem se caracterizar por déficits no reconhecimento das emoções. Nesse contexto, o presente projeto faz parte de um projeto maior que visa a desenvolver um jogo sério para auxílio ao diagnóstico e treinamento no reconhecimento de expressões faciais utilizando grafos And-Or para representação de emoções. Este projeto de mestrado define, implementa e avalia uma abordagem que gera caricaturas de várias emoções faciais (satisfação, tristeza, surpresa, medo, aversão, raiva e neutra) a partir de imagens de treinamento. Foi desenvolvida uma metodologia de processamento de imagens que localiza pontos de controle faciais em imagens reais de pessoas expressando as diferentes emoções, e aprende as variações de todos os pontos de controle, da face neutra para uma determinada emoção, para caracterização das expressões faciais. Para poder comparar a fidelidade da representação da emoção desejada nas imagens geradas, com respeito a uma abordagem anterior (que utiliza antropometria e FACS - Facial Action Coding System), um experimento com voluntários foi conduzido. Os resultados mostraram que a taxa de reconhecimento das imagens geradas com a metodologia proposta neste projeto, em relação às imagens geradas com a metodologia anterior, foi inferior em cinco emoções (medo, raiva, satisfação, surpresa e tristeza), igual para uma emoção (neutra) e superior para uma emoção (aversão). Para a emoção de aversão, cuja taxa de reconhecimento foi superior na abordagem proposta neste projeto, conseguiu-se aprender variações significativas de pontos de controle que não estão presentes nas unidades de ação que o FACS prevê para essa emoção. Esses dados sugerem que a proposta de aprender as variações de todos os pontos de controle da face pode ajudar em representar melhor as emoções faciais. Foram identificadas as possíveis causas para as taxas de reconhecimento inferiores das cinco emoções citadas, tanto na seleção da amostra de treinamento quanto nas etapas de processamento de imagens, as quais podem ser aperfeiçoadas a fim de melhorar a geração das caricaturas. Portanto, os resultados indicam que a abordagem apresentada é promissora, uma vez que considera todos os pontos de controle identificados em imagens reais e que o aperfeiçoamento de algumas fases do processo pode gerar caricaturas mais próximas das expressões reais, considerando diferentes intensidades das emoções / Facial emotions play a key role in human interpersonal relationships. Some psychiatric disorders may be characterized by deficits in recognizing emotions. In this context, this project is part of a major project that aims to develop a serious game to aid diagnosis and training in the recognition of facial expressions using And-Or graphs to emotions representing. This master\'s project defines, implements and evaluates an approach for generating caricatures of facial emotions (satisfaction, sadness, surprise, fear, disgust, anger, neutral) from training images. An image processing method that locates facial points in facial expression images was developed, and learns the variations of all facial points, from neutral face to a particular emotion for facial expression characterization. In order to compare the fidelity representation of the desired emotion in images generated with respect to anterior approach (using Anthropometry and Facial Action Coding System FACS), an experiment with volunteers was conducted. The rate recognition results showed that images generated with the proposed approach, compared to previous approach, were lower in five emotions (fear, anger, satisfaction, surprise and sadness), same to an emotion (neutral) and higher to an emotion (disgust). For disgust emotion, it was possible to learn significant variations of facial points that are not present in the action units that FACS provides for that emotion. This data suggests that the proposal for learning the variations of all facial points may help the facial emotion characterization. Possible causes for the lower rates were identified, both in the selection of training sample images and steps of image processing, which can be optimized in order to enhance the generation of caricatures. Therefore, the results indicate this approach is promising, since considers all facial points, and the improvement of some stages of the process can generate closest caricatures of real expressions, considering different intensities of emotions

The theme is part of the public budget problem in Brazil - object of theoretical revision in recent years, in the face of the progressive constitutionalization of the presuppositions of its understanding, in what can be called Due Budget Process. In this perspective, the finances of the State should reflect the priority public constitutional policies and the optimization of the administrative activity, as well as the result of a wide democratic discussion. In addition, it is necessary to discuss the binding effectiveness of budget laws in the period of their validity, which requires valid reasoning for hypotheses of change or contingency. Legitimate alternatives are presented that allow the success of judicial intervention in Public Finance when there is a flagrant violation of the legal order. In addition, the extrajudicial action of the Public Prosecutor's Office allows the resolution of constitutional conflicts with more speed and effectiveness. On the other hand, repressive action and judicial correction are indispensable tools for guaranteeing the community in all cases where preventive action is not successful. The work was developed through bibliographical and documentary research, being consulted publications referring to doctrine and jurisprudential documents. / O objetivo deste estudo ?? apresentar as possibilidades de interven????o jurisdicional no or??amento estatal, especialmente no que toca ?? contribui????o do Minist??rio P??blico para a efetiva????o de direitos fundamentais, por meio da interven????o jurisdicional nas finan??as p??blicas.

Tower Mountain Caldera is the main feature of an Oligocene volcanic field located in the Umatilla National Forest, eastern Oregon. It is perfectly suited to investigate models of rhyolite petrogenesis as all of the important rock components for evaluating generation models are present in a single location and thus are presumably related; basalts, intermediate igneous rocks (which consist of older plutons and younger volcanic rocks, which are ~coeval with rhyolites), metamorphic basement rocks of significant grade, and rhyolites of varying composition. The formation of the caldera produced the Dale Tuff, which comprises the intra-caldera and outflow facies. 40Ar/39Ar dating places the age of the tuff at 32.66 ± 0.36 Ma. Post-caldera rhyolites erupted along apparent ring fractures and elsewhere. Radiometric U-Pb dating of zircons from three of these rhyolites yielded ages of 32.167 ± 0.020 Ma (#CH07a), 31.798 ± 0.012 Ma (#TM5), and 31.426 ± 0.016 Ma (#CH08a). All rhyolites at Tower Mountain range from low to high silica varieties. Some of the post-caldera rhyolites are chemically similar to the Dale Tuff, such as sample CH07a, and have compositions typical of rhyolites of calc-alkaline volcanic centers (I-type rhyolites), while others are similar to A-type rhyolites (CH08a and TM5). The ages indicate that the calc-alkaline rhyolites were followed by the A-type rhyolites. The petrogenetic relationships between the various rocks types were evaluated. Partial melt modeling based on experimental melts produced from crustal material indicates that batch partial melting of metamorphosed high silica crustal material modified by the addition of more primitive mafic material by assimilation/contamination is the most likely source for the Tower Mountain rhyolites.

This thesis describes the archaeological site content and integrity of the Copeland site (35BE90) in Corvallis, Oregon. The Copeland site is owned by the Benton County Historical Society and is the future home of the Benton County Historical Museum. In 2001, an Oregon State University archaeological field school was conducted to test for the presence of the residential houses and commercial businesses that once occupied the Copeland site. The archaeological excavation revealed the presence of both the residential and commercial usage that occurred at the Copeland site. Excavation also revealed that while the integrity of the site has been disturbed by commercial activities the integrity has not been completely destroyed. Finally, recommendations are made concerning further archaeological exploration of the site. / Graduation date: 2006

The continental terrace west of Oregon between 43° 50'N and 44° 40' N latitude is 50 to 55 miles wide. It consists of a continental shelf, 16 to 35 miles wide, and a continental slope, 16 to 37 miles wide. The eastern portion of the shelf is a smooth, sediment covered area that slopes very gently west. The western portion of the shelf contains four rocky bank areas. The banks are topographically irregular and appear to be of structural origin. West of the banks the shelf edge occurs at depths of 71 to 90 fathoms. The continental slope extends from the edge of the shelf to the abyssal plain at depths of 1530 to 1610 fathoms. A smooth upper slope of less than three degrees extending to depths of 117 to 250 fathoms occurs north and south of Heceta Bank. West of Heceta Bank the upper slope is formed by a scarp that slopes 10° to 16° to 560 to 725 fathoms. West of the upper slope there is an area of irregular topography, including benches, hills and scarps, which extends to depths of 380 to 1100 fathoms. The lower part of the slope is formed by a north-striking scarp which is 3000 to 6000 feet high and slopes 04° to 15°. The bathymetry indicates that the continental slope was formed by step-type, block faulting. Sediments form a thin surface layer over much of: the terrace. Detrital sand, similar to the coastal sand, covers the shelf from the shoreline to approximately 50 fathoms. The deeper areas on the shelf and upper part of the slope are covered by glauconitic sands and silts on the topographic highs and olive green, clayey silts in the topographic lows. The intermediate and lower portions of the slope are blanketed with olive-green, clayey silt. In these sediments the sand fraction, which generally comprises less than five percent of the sample, is composed chiefly of diatoms, Foraminifera, Radiolaria, and sponge spicules. Sands are also present on the intermediate and deep portions of the slope. Dredge hauls west of Newport obtained sand composed mainly of detrital grains which may have been derived from an underlying friable sandstone. Thin layers of sand occur in cores from other portions of the slope. These sands may have been derived by down slope movement of sediment from the upper slope and the shelf. Sedimentary rocks of Upper Miocene and Pliocene age crop out on the shelf banks and on the continental slope. The banks consist of a sequence of diatomaceous, clayey siltstones with interbeds and concretions of calcareous siltstones. Glauconite sandstone, gray wacke sandstone, and limestone breccia are exposed along with the siltstone, on the northern end of Heceta Bank. Most of the rocks obtamed from the slope are similar to those from the shelf. Friable, wacke sandstone is exposed on the slope west of Newport. Foraminifera, the sand fraction compositions, and textural analyses all indicate that the sediment forming the siltstones from the shelf were deposited at lower littoral to lower bathyal depths. The sediments forming the rocks were deposited in one or more sedimentary basins during the Miocene and Pliocene. The subsidence continued until the. Late Pliocene when the area began to rise. The area was uplifted as much as 1000 fathoms by the Late Pleistocene when the shelf was eroded by transgressions and regressions resulting from sea level changes. The last rise in sea level resulted in the erosion of the shelf to its present form and the deposition of a thin layer of sediment. Sand is presently being deposited on the shallow areas adjacent to the continent, and silt and clay are being laid down on the slope and the sheltered areas of the outer shelf. / Graduation date: 1965

An understanding of the tectonic history of the Klamath Mountains is crucial for a valid paleogeographic reconstruction of the Pacific Northwest. However, prior to this study there were very few paleomagnetic (PM) data from the Klamath Mountains (KN), which resulted in conflicting interpretations about the role of the KM province in the tectonic evolution of western North America. Twenty-eight sites from five unmetamorphosed Middle Jurassic KM plutons with K-Ar ages ranging from 161 to 139 m.y.B.P. yielded stable PM results showing (1) a direction for the 160 in.y.B.P. Ashland pluton (D=324°, I=163°, α₉₅=8°, n=6) nearly concordant with the coeval expected direction (D=337°, 1=54°) and (2) clockwise rotated directions for the plutons of Grants Pass (D=045°, I=67°, α₉₅=12°, n=4), Greyback (D=083°,I=63°, α₉₅=9, n=9), and the Wooley Creek batholith and Slinkard pluton combined (D=037°, 160°, α₉₅=ll°, n=9). Tectonic interpretations of these PM data are difficult; two interpretations are offered to explain the observed directions. In the first, the mean PM direction of the four plutons with discordant directions (D=057°, 1=65°, α₉₅=7°, n=22) is restored to the expected 150 m.y.B.P. (the average K-Ar age for these four plutons) direction by rotation of a rigid block ~87° in a counterclockwise sense about a vertical axis (the possibility of tilt of these four plutons is disregarded in this interpretation). The Ashland pluton which shows no rotation is problematic. Either there was (is) a tectonic boundary west of the Ashland pluton, separating it from the rotation of the others, or the Ashland pluton was influenced both by clockwise rotation and tilt, the combined effect producing an essentially concordant PM direction. In the second interpretation we distinguish between the northern KN, intruded by the Grants Pas and Greyback Mountain plutons, and the southern region intruded by the Wooley Creek batholith and the Ashland and Slinkard plutons. The bases for this distinction are recent geologic and gravity studies which suggest that post-Middle Jurassic uplift of the domal Condrey Mountain Schist may have caused radially outward tilt of its adjacent terranes and plutons intruded therein, causing some of the observed discordances in their PM directions. Thus, in the second interpretation it is envisioned that (a) the northerly portion of the KM, intruded by the Grants Pass and Greyback plutons, was affected primarily by clockwise rotation about a vertical axis, and (b) discordant directions for the remaining plutons intruded farther south are due primarily to tilt in response to Condrey Mountain uplift. Based on the observed inclinations, there is no evidence of transport of the Klamath Mountain province along lines of longitude since Middle Jurassic time. Tectonic interpretations of the PM results of this study are consistent with significant post-Middle Jurassic clockwise rotation of the Klamath Mountains. The first interpretation above yields ~87° of clockwise rotation of the terrane examined. According to the second interpretation, a clockwise rotation of ~l00° is inferred from the average of the PM results of the northern Grants Pass and Greyback plutons. Therefore, 10° to 25° of clockwise rotation of the KM may have occurred prior to the formation of the Oregon Coast Range (~55 m.y.B.P.) and the two provinces may have rotated together since post-Lower Eocene time. / Graduation date: 1983

Astragalus oniciformis Barneby is a xerophyte of the sagebrush deserts of central Idaho. It is a narrow endemic of the upper Snake River Plains where it inhabits stabilized, aeolian sand deposits over Quaternary basalt flows. The objective of this study was to determine the levels and distribution of genetic differentiation within and among populations of Astragalus oniciformis. Fifteen individuals from each of eight populations, chosen from throughout the range of the species, were selected for their accessibility, density of individuals, and large population size. Two disjunct eastern populations selected for this study have been separated from the continuous western populations for 3600 years by an eight-mile wide, inhospitable lava flow. Inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) were chosen as the marker to assess genetic differentiation. Two primers were selected that yielded 40 loci, all of which were polymorphic in A. oniciformis. In an analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), 88.69 percent of the variation was significantly attributed to variation within populations. The differentiation between the two disjunct populations and the western populations was insignificant. High gene flow (Nm=3.91-3.93) and a low percent deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium due to population subdivision (G[subscript st]=0.113-0.1134) were found among populations of A. oniciformis. These results suggest that current threats to this species, ranging from plant community changes due to changing fire patterns, habitat alteration from livestock grazing, and habitat loss from agricultural development have not yet affected the genetic diversity of this species. Preservation of the numerous, large populations and the high gene flow will help insure that the levels of genetic diversity found in Astragalus oniciformis will not decrease. / Graduation date: 2002

Excavations performed at the historic Smith House (ORYA3) located in Dayton, Yamhill County, Oregon, recovered a large collection of artifacts. Categories of artifacts previously analyzed include flat glass, nails, glass containers, ceramic hollowware and flatware, brick, bone, metal containers, illumination devices, currency, footwear, tobacco, and lead balls, shot, and cartridge casings. A category not analyzed was children's toys. This thesis addresses this category of artifact. The thesis discusses the historical context of the Smith House, and examines children, play and toys. The theoretical construct of symbolic anthropology is used to provide a model for the process of enculturation. Detailed analysis of glass and clay marbles and of ceramic doll and doll-related artifacts is performed. Proveniences and associations of these artifacts are undertaken. Appendices provide for a chronology of doll manufacturing and for a detailed description of artifacts. Conclusions drawn from the analysis of the toys at the Smith House suggest that a larger collection of toys and better provenience of collected materials are necessary in order to apply the symbolic approach to toys as tools of enculturation. Recommendations for future avenues of research are given. It is suggested that this analysis provides a basis for future comparison with other historical archaeological sites. / Graduation date: 2002

Transcription and DNA replication of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) occur in nuclear domains adjacent to structures named ND10. The HSV-1 single-stranded DNA binding protein ICP8 localizes to these nuclear domains to direct the assembly of the pre- and replication compartments. Inhibition of cyclin dependent kinases with roscovitine inhibits HSV-1 DNA replication, even in the presence of all required HSV-1 proteins, at an unidentified step. Here I show that roscovitine inhibits the localization of pre-expressed ICP8 to new replication sites. Therefore, the inhibition of HSV-1 DNA replication occurs at a step prior to initiation. I next evaluated the mechanisms of inhibition of proper ICP8 localization. ICP8 was extracted at lower salt concentrations from roscovitine-treated than untreated cells, but the affinity of ICP8 for ssDNA in vitro was not affected. I propose that roscovitine inhibits HSV-1 DNA replication by inhibiting DNA accessibility. I also discuss alternative mechanisms.
