Embora em um sistema bidimensional com simetria contínua não haja ordem de longo alcance para temperaturas finitas, o modelo XY 2D exibe uma transição de fase de ordem infinita não usual, associada com a dissociação de defeitos topológicos chamados de vórtices-inteiros, e que pertence `a classe de universalidade de Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT). Generalizações do modelo XY, incluindo competição entre um termo ferromagnético e um nemático, foram introduzidas e largamente estudadas por diversos autores. Essas interações nemáticas criam novas transições de fases e novos defeitos topológicos, como vórtices semi-inteiros. Neste trabalho, para um caso particular desses modelos generalizados, exploramos as classes de universalidades e o diagrama de fases através de simulações de Monte Carlo, escalonamento de tamanhos finitos e análise da helicidade. Em particular, encontramos que a competição entre os termos ferromagnético e nemático d´a origem a uma nova linha de transição, neste caso na classe de universalidade do modelo Potts com 3 estados. / Although in a two-dimensional system with continuous symmetry there is no long-range order at finite temperature, the 2D XY model exhibits an unusual infinite order phase transition, associated with the unbinding of topological defects called integer-vortices, and which belongs to the Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) universality class. Generalizations of the XY model, including competition between a ferromagnetic and a nematiclike term, have been introduced and widely studied by many autors. These nematic-like interactions create new phase transitions and new topologial defects, like half-integer-vortices. In this work, for a particular case of these generalized models, we explore the universality classes of the transitions and the phase diagram through Monte Carlo simulations, finite size scaling and helicity analysis. In particular, we find that the competition between the ferromagnetic and nematic terms gives origin to a new transition line belonging, in this case, to the 3 states Potts universality class.

The table is composed of two bases that move perpendicularly to each other in the horizontal plane, and are driven by two DC motors. Base position is detected by position sensors attached to the motor axes. A data acquisition board performs the interface between a laptop and the plant. The fuzzy system algorithm was implemented in LabVIEW? programming environment that processes the sensors signals and determines the control variables values that drive the motors. Experimental results using position reference signals (step type signal) and straight and circular paths reference signals are presented to demonstrate the dynamic behavior of fuzzy system / Apresentam-se, neste trabalho, o projeto e a constru??o de uma mesa de coordenadas de dois graus de liberdade, bem como o desenvolvimento de um sistema fuzzy para o controle de posi??o e trajet?ria dessa mesa.

This study investigates whether different stereo techniques used as a main array influences the preferred level from spot microphones when combined in a mix. Time delay compensation and its influence on spot microphone level was also examined. A clarinet soloist and a violin & piano duo were recorded as stimuli. A listening test was conducted where subjects were asked to set the level on spot microphone channels of a clarinet, and violin in combination with several stereo techniques. A/B, X/Y, ORTF, and Blumlein were examined. In general, results suggested that there wasn’t a significant difference in preferred spot microphone level between stereo techniques. Time delay compensation could not be proven to significantly influence the preferred spot microphone level.

Diploma project is aimed to load force vector decomposition to x, y and z direction for complicated Skoda car parts. The methodology of decomposition is based on measuring of car parts deformation by strain gauges and mathematical identifation of force compoments by neural network (ANN). ANN will be trained by results of FE model simulations or by calibration on real car parts.

Maximum Subarray Problem (MSP) is to find the consecutive array portion that maximizes the sum of array elements in it. The goal is to locate the most useful and informative array segment that associates two parameters involved in data in a 2D array. It's an efficient data mining method which gives us an accurate pattern or trend of data with respect to some associated parameters. Distance Matrix Multiplication (DMM) is at the core of MSP. Also DMM and MSP have the worst-case complexity of the same order. So if we improve the algorithm for DMM that would also trigger the improvement of MSP. The complexity of Conventional DMM is O(n³). In the average case, All Pairs Shortest Path (APSP) Problem can be modified as a fast engine for DMM and can be solved in O(n² log n) expected time. Using this result, MSP can be solved in O(n² log² n) expected time. MSP can be extended to K-MSP. To incorporate DMM into K-MSP, DMM needs to be extended to K-DMM as well. In this research we show how DMM can be extended to K-DMM using K-Tuple Approach to solve K-MSP in O(Kn² log² n log K) time complexity when K ≤ n/log n. We also present Tournament Approach which solves K-MSP in O(n² log² n + Kn²) time complexity and outperforms the K-Tuple
