The spatial area encompassed from the neighborhood of the Torre until Mangabeira, area located at its end, the period that begins in the late 1930s with the emergence of the Torre, the first district to directly influence the corridor until the year of 2010. The analysis relies on the "model of the evolutionary logic of an urban expansion by Castex, Depaule and Panerai (1980, 2005, 2006), and is complemented by the study of the dynamics of urban segregation, proposed by Corrêa (1989). The results were presented according to the principal methodology adopted, and show that this sector of the city, was structured from investments in federal government, with emphasis on public housing. Currently, this urban space concentrates 20% of the population of the town of middle and low income, reflecting the occupation model adopted, which was imposed by the state. / Esta dissertação resulta da pesquisa cujo objetivo foi de investigar o histórico de evolução do tecido urbano do setor sudeste de João Pessoa PB, a partir de um vetor de expansão intraurbana, o corredor da Avenida Dom Pedro II e os bairros que se localizam em seu entorno imediato. O recorte espacial englobou desde o bairro da Torre até o conjunto Mangabeira, território localizado no final do seu último trecho, no período que se inicia em finais da década de 1930 com o surgimento da Torre, primeiro bairro a influenciar diretamente no corredor , seguindo até a contemporaneidade ano de 2011. A análise apóia-se no modelo da lógica evolutiva de um tecido urbano , proposto por Castex, Depaule e Panerai (1980; 2005; 2006), e é complementada pelo estudo da dinâmica de segregação intraurbana, elaborado por Corrêa (1989). Os resultados obtidos foram apresentados segundo a metodologia principal adotada, e mostram que esse setor da cidade, formou-se a partir de investimentos da esfera federal, com ênfase nos conjuntos habitacionais populares. Atualmente, esse espaço intraurbano concentra 20% da população da cidade, de média e baixa renda, reflexo do modelo de ocupação adotado, que foi imposto pelo Estado.

Master of Agribusiness / Department of Agricultural Economics / Allen M. Featherstone / Multiple Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) is a federally subsidized crop insurance program designed to mitigate risk for farmers across the United States. Many changes in technology and weather have increased yields in recent years. This has caused some to argue for the crop insurance program to consider yield trends when setting yields for the producer. This thesis evaluates alternative Actual Production History (APH) methods for corn to determine differences in the methods and the resulting APH. The key issue to be evaluated is that a producer’s APH may not be reflective of their “yield goal.” The thesis examined how the APH can differ under alternative methods of calculating an APH. Some methods examined are currently used by the Risk Management Agency (RMA). Other methods are hypothetical alternatives. This study examines alternative methods on a national, county, and a farm level. This thesis demonstrates that adjusting APHs for yield trends provides a higher APH than an un-trended APH. The 7 Year Olympic Trended APH provides the highest APH in most cases for all the methods examined. The RMA Un-trended APH proved to provide the least yield on average for all methods examined. This demonstrates the importance of adjusting for yield trends to factor in agricultural technology advancements over time.

Le studio de la Tôei Dôga, fondé en 1956, est dans le Japon d’après-guerre tout à la fois le creuset d’une certaine conception de l’animation, le cœur de la formation d’une grande partie des techniciens qui vont soutenir l’industrie, mais aussi le lieu d’émergence, d’intégration et de réinvention de l’animation japonaise. En effet, si Hiroshi Ôkawa, qui dirige le studio jusqu’à sa mort en 1971, cherche à définir la structure comme le « Disney de l’Orient », le modèle américain, avidement recopié, a aussi été rapidement mis de côté, pour donner lieu à de nombreuses réinventions, appropriations et innovations technologiques. Etudiées d’un point de vue esthétique et technique, grâce à la conjonction de l’analyse formelle des films et de la prise en compte systématique des témoignages et des documents de production, ces innovations donnent à voir un processus de réappropriation du médium qui touche de près à l’histoire des techniques. Un enjeu important, dans le cadre de ce travail, consiste également à replacer aussi précisément que possible la production animée dans l’environnement économique et culturel de son époque. Ceci ne prend cependant pas nécessairement la forme d’une approche purement culturelle, mais cherche plutôt à conjuguer, grâce à des outils empruntés à l’histoire de l’art et à l’histoire culturelle, la matière filmique et la mise en question de son « contexte ». Si l’enjeu central de cette thèse aura été de définir, sur un plan esthétique et technique, une histoire de la production animée raisonnée et fondée sur une étude précise des documents disponibles, il apparaît que ses conclusions mettent en jeu les différents modèles de production traversés successivement par la Tôei, comme autant de propositions artistique, politique et stratégique, de ce que peut être le cinéma d’animation. / The Tôei Doga studio, founded in 1956, is the place in post-war Japan where was developped a new conception of animation, trained a large part of the technicians who will support the industry in the next decades, but also the place of emergence, integration and reinvention of Japanese animation. Indeed, if Hiroshi Okawa, who will run the studio until his death in 1971, seeks to define the structure as the "Disney of the East", the American model, eagerly copied, was also quickly set aside by Tôei, a process originating many technological innovations. Studied from an aesthetic and technical point of view, through a combination of a formal analysis of Tôei Dôga’s production from 1956 to 1971 and the systematic consideration of the animators’ testimonies and production documents, these innovations make a process of appropriation of the medium visible, questionning the history of technology. A crucial issue in the context of this dissertation also includes replacing as accurately as possible Tôei Dôga’s production in the vibrant economic and cultural environment of its time. This however does not necessarily involve an approach similar to that of cultural studies, but is rather seeking to combine, with tools borrowed from art history and cultural history, film material with the questioning of its "context." If the central issue here has been to implement, on an aesthetic and technical level, a history of the animation production process based on a careful study of available records, it appears that Tôei’s successive production models involve many artistic, political and strategic suggestions of what animation may be.

Essa técnica é limitada, principalmente em campos antigos, quando o histórico de produção não é muito confiável, ou no início de produção, quando há menos dados observados e as incertezas são maiores. O advento de novas tecnologias para obtenção de dados de saturação no decorrer da vida produtiva dos reservatórios, como é o caso da sísmica 4D e das ferramentas de perfilagem TDT/TDM, ajudou a superar algumas dificuldades da fase de construção do modelo geológico, mas o grande desafio tem sido em utilizar esses dados de maneira a beneficiar a produção de petróleo. Metodologias de ajuste de histórico utilizando dados de saturação da sísmica 4D já são encontrados na literatura, mas nenhum trabalho foi encontrado utilizando os dados de perfis. A vantagem dos dados de perfilagem é a maior precisão, mas, por outro lado, as informações são limitadas a alguns pés ao redor dos poços. O objetivo deste trabalho é integrar o processo tradicional de ajuste de histórico com dados de saturação de perfis, desenvolvendo modelos de simulação mais precisos, produzindo previsões de produção mais confiáveis e facilitando futuras tomadas de decisão. Os dados de saturação são utilizados como um novo parâmetro a ser ajustado e como uma ferramenta auxiliar para a definição das regiões críticas do reservatório, que serão alteradas. Uma metodologia de ajuste de histórico assistido utilizando dados de saturação, linhas de fluxo e um algoritmo de otimização é proposta e aplicada a um modelo sintético de reservatório. Parâmetros do processo são estudados e detalhados, achando a melhor maneira de usar os dados. O modelo também é ajustado sem o uso de informações de saturação e previsões dos modelos ajustados são comparadas, mostrando os benefícios e restrições da nova metodologia. / Abstract: In the production history matching process, the reservoir simulation model is modified in a way that it becomes consistent with production data, keeping the observed restrictions of the geological characterization phase. This technique is limited, mainly in mature fields, when the production history is not reliable, or in the beginning of production, when there are only a few observed data and uncertainties are higher. The development of new saturation data acquisition tools, such as 4D seismic and TDT/TDM logging tools helped to overcome some difficulties in the geologic model construction phase but the great challenge is how to use this data in a way to improve the petroleum production. History matching methodologies integrated with saturation data from 4D seismic are available in literature but no publications that utilize saturation data obtained from well logging were found. The advantage of the logging tools is the data accuracy but, on the other hand, it is limited to a few feet around the wells. The main objective of this project is to integrate the traditional history matching process with logging saturation data, developing more reliable simulation models and production forecasts and assisting future decision making processes. The saturation data is utilized as a new parameter to be matched as well as an auxiliary tool to help to determine critical regions which will be modified. An assisted history matching methodology utilizing saturation data, streamlines and an optimization algorithm is proposed and applied to a synthetic reservoir model. Parameters of the process are studied and detailed, finding the best way to use the data. The model is also history matched with no saturation information and predictions of the matched models are compared, showing the benefits and restrictions of the new methodology. / Mestrado / Reservatórios e Gestão / Mestre em Ciências e Engenharia de Petróleo

This thesis explains business process mining and it's principles. A substantial part is devoted to the problems of process discovery. Further, based on the analysis of specific manufacturing process are proposed three methods that are trying to identify shortcomings in the process. First discovers the manufacturing process and renders it into a graph. The second method uses simulator of production history to obtain products that may caused delays in the process. Acquired data are used to mine frequent itemsets. The third method tries to predict processing time on the selected workplace using asociation rules. Last two mentioned methods employ an algorithm Frequent Pattern Growth. The knowledge obtained from this thesis improve efficiency of the manufacturing process and enables better production planning.

This work describes industrial and knight family Bartoň from Dobenín situated on the castle Nové Hrady. I concentrated on the lifetime history of some important members of this family from the begining to the end of the 20th century. A special focus has been given on the castle Nové Hrady, which is extraordinary architectural jewel, situated in the Czech Republic. The castle Nové Hrady is connected with some important names, for example Jan Ludvík and Jan Antonín Harbuval de Chamaré or architect Josef Jäger and others. There is another important family of Čerych. The current owners Mr. and Mrs. Kučera are trying to bring back its previous glance. Were the members of the Bartoň family from Dobenín different from the ordinary people living in that time? Has the knighthood changed them in some way? You can find the answers in this work. Keywords: castle Nové Hrady, Harduval de Chamaré, Bartoňs from Dobenín, textile production, history, family of Čerych, Mr.and Mrs. Kučera, Náchod, benefactor

This thesis is a two-part work. Its components, a written paper and a one-night symposium/film screening event entitled Tennessee Williams: Gender Play in 2015 and Beyond, have been closely coordinated with my dramaturgical research for the February 2015 University of Massachusetts Amherst Department of Theater production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. The written inquiry is structured around a chronological, selected American production history of Cat; this history, rendered in a series of three case studies, will (1) synthesize preexisting analyses of Cat’s dramaturgical profile, its impact on American theater, and its position in Williams’s oeuvre; and (2) examine the interplay between this body of scholarship’s primary foci (e.g., gender, sexual identity, and family dysfunction) and the evolving cultural climate in which its subject, Cat, is perennially reinterpreted and restaged. In other words, my thesis reframes Cat as a series of inherently American—and potentially unanswerable—questions posed by Williams to his viewers; it then investigates the artistic and critical responses generated by sixty years of public engagement, or “dialogue,” with those questions. Ultimately, each case study will illustrate my central premise: that the value of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof lies in its ability to resonate, both in production design and reception, with the social, sexual, and domestic challenges of the period in which it is produced.
