The production of the independent, digital feature film titled Mosaic was performed on a very low budget. The design and implementation of the post-production of the film required consideration of budgetary constraints, and solutions to these constraints that would still allow the creative freedom of the editor and the director. The technical design was based around digital filmmaking technology. The choice of this technology influenced how the editor was able to address aesthetic and technical challenges.

Qualquer alteração nas estruturas do aparelho estomatognático pode promover um desequilíbrio funcional da mandíbula. A algometria por pressão bem como a eletromiografia tem sido utilizadas como métodos de diagnóstico e controle da evolução terapêutica dos músculos da mastigação. Diversos tratamentos buscam diminuir os sintomas característicos das DTMs pelo restabelecimento do equilíbrio, dentre os quais vale citar a terapia oclusal por meio da placa interoclusal. Uma das dificuldades durante a confecção dos dispositivos interoclusais é determinar a sua espessura. Este critério pode influenciar a eficiência, o desempenho da função de relaxamento e o tratamento da dor muscular. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da espessura da placa, da consistência do alimento e do gênero, na atividade elétrica e no limiar de dor à pressão (LDP) nos músculos masseter e temporal anterior. Para verificar o efeito de diferentes espessuras de placas interoclusais foram selecionados 20 pacientes assintomáticos que utilizaram placas com espessuras 3 e 6 mm. Foram obtidas médias a partir dos valores encontrados em cada paciente, sendo avaliados lados de trabalho e não-trabalho, por meio de registros da atividade elétrica durante a mastigação de dois tipos diferentes de látex e limiar de sensibilidade dos músculos masseter e temporal anterior. Após sua obtenção, os dados foram tabulados e submetidos à análise estatística, a um nível de 5% de significância (p<0,05). Pode-se concluir que as placas de diferentes espessuras (tratamentos) e o gênero não alteraram a atividade elétrica, porém a maior consistência do alimento proporcionou atividades elétricas mais elevadas. O limiar de dor à pressão... / The muscular hyperactivity with or without occlusal changes can is a trigger of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Any change in the structures of the stomatognathic system can promote a functional imbalance of the jaw. The algometry pressure and electromyography has been used as methods of diagnosis and therapy control of the evolution of the muscles of mastication. Several treatments seek to reduce the symptoms characteristic of TMD by restoring the occlusal, among which worth mentioning the occlusal therapy through the plate interocclusal. One of the difficulties during the construction of the splint device is to determine its thickness. This criterion can influence the efficiency, performance of the function of relaxation and treatment of muscle pain provided by interocclusal devices. The objective of this study was to evaluate the thickness of the plate, consistency of the food and gender, in the electric activity and threshold of pain to the pressure (LDP) in the muscles to masseter and anterior temporal. patients in whom signs were established with thickness 3 and 6 mm. Medium were obtained from each side to work and working from records of electrical activity during mastication of two latex sensitivity threshold of the masseter and anterior temporal of all patients. After obtaining the data, the data were tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis, a 5% level of significance (p <0.05). It It was observed that the plates of different thicknesses (treatments) and the gender had not modified the electric activity, however the biggest consistency of the food provided higher electric activities. The threshold of pain to the pressure was modified with the use of the plates of different thicknesses only for the temporal muscle of the work side, as well as was superior for the men in all the muscles evaluated, however the mastication activity did not influence in the LDP

This thesis is about the children of former Far East prisoners of war (FEPOWs): their memories of childhood, how they fashioned those memories in adulthood, and the relationship between the two. The FEPOW experience reverberated through postwar family life, and continued to shape the lives of participants across the intervening decades. Although a great deal is now known about the hardships suffered by the men, captivity had a deep and enduring impact on their children, but their history is rarely heard, and poorly understood. In Roots of Remembrance I investigate the lives of these children through in-depth interviews, using a psychosocial approach to both interviews and analysis. By tracing intergenerational transmission through the life course, I show that the memory practices of the children of Far East POWs had psychosocial roots in the captivity experiences of their fathers. For some, childhood was coloured by overt physical or psychological trauma; for others, what passed as a ‘normal’ upbringing led later to a pressing desire to discover more about their fathers’ wartime histories. My research demonstrates the need for a more nuanced and holistic approach to understanding intergenerational trauma transmission within this particular group. I argue that participants made creative use of memory practices across the course of their lives to revisit, review and reconstruct their relationships with their fathers, in order to reach an accommodation with their childhood memories. Findings include the value of attachment theory in understanding the associations between childhood experience and later memory practices, the role of the body and other implicit means of transmitting trauma, and the need for a greater awareness of the impact of cumulative and complex trauma within these families. Finally, I conclude that the psychosocial methodology enabled me to access areas of subjectivity and intersubjectivity that might otherwise have remained in the shadows.

Nowadays most communication networks like GSM, WLan or WiMAX are based on pre-existing infrastructure. These infrastructures are complicated, costly and difficult to deploy in very short time. Whereas Wireless Ad Hoc Networks are infrastructure-free self organizing networks which consist of co-operating nodes. These networks are highly desirable for various emerging applications for military and to extend the range and capacity of infrastructure based wireless networks. One critical issue that we face in Ad Hoc Network is the problem of scheduling. Scheduling algorithms in an Ad Hoc Network allows the nodes to share the wireless channel efficiently. But on the other hand, the scheduling algorithm needs to be easily implementable in a distributed fashion with little, if any, coordination between nodes in the network. Spread spectrum technologies allow interference averaging and therefore are employed in Ad Hoc networks. There are two major types of spread spectrum physical layer, which are frequency hopping (FH) spread spectrum and direct sequence (DS) spread spectrum. FH-CDMA divides the bandwidth into M sub channels, the receiver only sees the interference from the transmitter side which is on the same sub channel whereas in DS-CDMA we increase the spreading code M to decrease the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) requirement. The purpose of research is to study a hybrid spread spectrum based on physical layer, in which the direct sequence signal is also frequency hoped. The DS will reduce the region of dominating interferes, while frequency hopping will be used within this region intelligently and allow the dominating interferes to transmit on different frequencies. First the system bounds on the transmission capacity of the proposed scheme is evaluated, and than a comparative analysis of different multiple access schemes is done with our proposed model with respect to their transmission capacity to evaluate its performance.

The thesis focuses on issues around communication system with the Direct Spread Spectrum Signal Signal. This work outlines the theoretical analysis of this technique and subsequently is created a communication system concept. The device concept is adjusted so that the device can be used as a laboratory device, presenting the spreading technique. This thesis offers a comprehensive and detailed description of the communication system construction, including design of transmitter, receiver and a common transmission channel. In conclusion are stated the results of devised communication system.

An industrial control valve has been designed by Eaton (AxisPro® valve). The servo performance valve has onboard electronics that features external and internal sensor interfaces, advanced control modes and network capability. Advanced control modes are implement in the valves firmware. With the help of the white space it is possilbe to execute custom code directly on the valve that interact with these controls. Small OEM applications, like rubber moulding machines, benefit from the comination of build in controls and custom code, to provide adaptations for their special machines.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite signals provide not only traditional radionavigation service but inexpensive and convenient radio beacons for signal propagation studies on ionosphere and atmosphere. This thesis describes the development and testing of a specialized GPS sensor which measures, plots and records real-time high-resolution L1 (1575.42MHz) GPS signal strength at a data rate of up to 10Hz. The instrument is based on an open architecture GPS receiver development kit that can be modified and rebuilt. The signal strength is defined as mean-square signal strength in the thesis. The coarse/acquisition code (C/A-code) correlation is applied and the raw correlation data from a GPS correlator chip is obtained to calculate the signal strength. The gain variation of the automatic gain control (AGC) in the GPS signal link is considered, and a model is designed and implemented in data post-processing to reduce the AGC distortion to GPS signal strength measurements. Speed limitation of 1,000 knots and height limitation of 60,000 feet are removed so that it can track spacecraft such as low earth orbit (LEO) satellite. Four testing plans are developed and conducted to test the GPS signal strength sensor. A GPS simulator is used and the testing results prove that the space-borne sensor is fully operational and the signal strength resolution can be smaller than 0.05dB. Additionally, a COM-port-to-TCP/IP GPS simulation remote control gateway is designed and implemented for the senor and the GPS simulator to conduct formation flying. A graphic user interface (GUI) program is also built to retrieve data from a commercial high-performance space-borne GPS receiver for comparison. A Red Hat Linux signal strength sensor based on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) PiVoT GPS receiver is achieved by modifications. The NASA PiVoT sensor, working together with the former signal strength sensor and the commercial space-borne GPS receiver, will strengthen our academic research strength in the studies on the ionospheric and atmospheric effects and irregularities which cause GPS signal degradation and scintillations. / Master of Science

[ES] La presente tesis doctoral se centra en la obtención, vía síntesis directa, de materiales zeolíticos nanocristalinos con propiedades fisicoquímicas y catalíticas mejoradas respecto a los materiales de referencia. Para ello se ha hecho uso de tensioativos creados específicamente para cada una de las estructuras zeolíticas estudiadas, evitando el uso de procesos post-sintéticos que conllevan una pérdida de material cristalino. En la primera parte del trabajo se ha estudiado la obtención de la zeolita ITQ-2 deslaminada por síntesis directa (DS-ITQ-2) mediante el uso de varios tensioactivos, siendo el C16DC1 (N-Hexadecil-N'-metil-1,4-diazabiciclo[2.2.2]octano) con el que mejores resultados se han obtenido. Se ha estudiado la influencia de la longitud de la cadena alifática y la concentración del agente director de estructura orgánico (ADEO) en el gel de síntesis sobre la cinética del proceso de cristalización y las implicaciones sobre las características fisicoquímicas del material obtenido. Mediante el control de la concentración del tensioactivo en el gel de síntesis, ha sido posible dirigir el grado de deslaminación del material final. Las propiedades fisicoquímicas del material considerado como óptimo se han comparado con las de las zeolitas MCM-22, MCM-56 e ITQ-2, todas ellas con la misma estructura cristalina (MWW). Por último, la actividad catalítica de la zeolita DS-ITQ-2 se ha estudiado en dos reacciones, la alquilación de benceno con propileno para la obtención de cumeno y la reacción de 2,5-dimetilfurano con etileno para la obtención de p-xileno, obteniendo en ambos casos unos resultados de conversión y selectividad excelentes. La segunda parte de la tesis se ha centrado en la preparación de la zeolita ferrierita en su forma nanocristalina por síntesis directa mediante la utilización de tensioactivos. Se han estudiado tensioactivos con tres partes polares diferentes obtenidos a partir de las correspondientes aminas utilizadas como ADEOs. Además, también se ha estudiado el efecto de la longitud de la cadena del tensioactivo entre los 6 y los 16 átomos de carbono. La modificación de parámetros del gel de síntesis como por ejemplo la relación molar entre la piperidina o el tensioactivo y la sílice ha resultado ser determinante a la hora de conseguir una composición óptima para la obtención de la zeolita nanocristalina con las propiedades fisicoquímicas deseadas. La optimización de la temperatura de síntesis y la introducción de cristales de siembra en el gel de síntesis ha permitido mejorar las propiedades finales del material. La actividad catalítica de las nanoferrieritas se ha estudiado en dos reacciones diferentes, la oligomerización de 1-penteno y la isomerización de 1-buteno. Se ha mostrado la importancia de reducir el tamaño del cristal de la ferrierita, obteniéndose materiales con actividad y selectividad muy superior a los descritos en la bibliografía abierta y de patentes. / [CA] La present tesis doctoral es centra en l'obtenció, via síntesi directa, de materials zeolítics nanocristalins amb propietats fisicoquímiques i catalítiques millorades respecte als materiales de referència. Per a això s'ha fet ús de tensioatius creats específicament per a cadascuna de les estructures zeolítiques estudiades, evitant l'ús de processos post-sintètics que comporten una pèrdua de material cristal·lí. En la primera part del treball s'ha estudiat l'obtenció de la zeolita ITQ-2 deslaminada per síntesi directa (DS-ITQ-2) mitjançant l'ús de diversos tensioactius, essent el C16DC1 (N-Hexadecil-N'-metil-1,4-diazabiciclo[2.2.2]octà) amb el que millors resultats s'han obtés. S'ha estudiat la influència de la longitud de la cadena alifàtica i la concentració de l'agent director d'estructura orgànic (ADEO) en el gel de síntesi sobre la cinètica del procés de cristal·lització i les implicacions sobre les característiques fisicoquímiques del material obtés. Mitjançant el control de la concentració del tensioactiu en el gel de síntesi, ha sigut possible dirigir el grau de deslaminació del material final. Les propietats fisicoquímiques del material considerat com òptim s'han comparat amb les de les zeolites MCM-22, MCM-56 i ITQ-2, totes elles amb la mateixa estructura cristal·lina (MWW). Per íltim, l'activitat catalítica de la zeolita DS-ITQ-2 s'ha estudiat en dos reaccions, l'alquilació de benzé amb propilé per a l'obtenció de cumé i la reacció de 2,5-dimetilfurà amb etilé per a l'obtenció de p-xilé, obtenint en tots dos casos uns resultats de conversió i selectivitat excel·lents. La segona part de la tesi s'ha centrat en la preparació de la zeolita ferrierita a la seua forma nanocristal·lina per síntesi directa mitjançant la utilizació de tensioactius. S'han estudiat tensioactius amb tres parts polars diferents obtesos a partir de les corresponents amines utilitzades com a ADEOs. A més a més, també s'ha estudiat l'efecte de la longitud de la cadena del tensioactiu entre els 6 i els 16 àtoms de carboni. La modificació de paràmetres del gel de síntesi com per exemple la relació molar entre la piperidina o el tensioactiu i la sílice ha resultat ser determinant a l'hora de conseguir una composició òptima per a l'obtenció de la zeolita nanocristal·lina amb les propietats fisicoquímiques desitjades. L'optimització de la temperatura de síntesi i la introducció de cristalls de sembra en el gel de síntesi ha permés millorar les propietats finals del material. L'activitat catalítica de les nanoferrierites s'ha estudiat en dos reaccions diferents, l'oligomerizació de l'1-penté i la isomerització de l'1-buté. S'ha mostrat la import`ancia de reduir el tamany del cristall de la ferrierita, obtenint-se materials amb activitat i selectivitat molt superior als descrits en la bibliografia oberta i de patents. / [EN] This doctoral thesis focuses on obtaining, via direct synthesis, nanocrystalline zeolite materials with improved physicochemical and catalytic properties compared to reference materials. For this, surfactants created specifically for each of the zeolite structures studied have been used, avoiding the use of post-synthetic processes that lead to a loss of crystalline material. In the first part of the work, the obtaining of the delaminated ITQ-2 zeolite by direct synthesis (DS-ITQ-2) through the use of various surfactants, being C16DC1 (NHexadecyl-N'-methyl-1,4-diazabiciclo[2.2.2]octane) with which the best results have been obtained. The influence of the length of the aliphatic chain and the concentration of the organic structure directing agent (OSDA) in the synthesis gel on the kinetics of the crystallization process and the implications on the physicochemical characteristics of the obtained material have been studied. By controlling the concentration of the surfactant in the synthesis gel, it has been possible to direct the degree of delamination of the final material. The physicochemical properties of the material considered optimal have been compared with those of the zeolite MCM-22, MCM-56 and ITQ-2, all of them with the same crystalline structure (MWW). Finally, the catalytic activity of the zeolite DS-ITQ-2 has been studied in two reactions, the alkylation of benzene with propylene to obtain cumene and the reaction of 2,5-dimethylfuran with ethylene to obtain p-xylene, obtaining excellent conversion and selectivity results in both cases. The second part of the thesis has focused on the preparation of ferrierite zeolite in its nanocrystalline form by direct synthesis using surfactants. Surfactants with three different polar parts, obtained from the corresponding amines used as OSDAs, have been studied. In addition, the effect of the chain length of the surfactant between 6 and 16 carbon atoms has also been studied. Modifying the parameters of the synthesis gel, such as the molar ratio between piperidine or surfactant and silica, has turned out to be decisive when it comes to achieving an optimal composition for obtaining nanocrystalline zeolite with the desired physicochemical properties. The optimization of the synthesis temperature and the introduction of seed crystals in the synthesis gel have allowed to improve the final properties of the material. The catalytic activity of nanoferrierites has been studied in two different reactions, the oligomerization of 1-pentene and the isomerization of 1-butene. The importance of reducing the size of the ferrierite crystal has been shown, obtaining materials with activity and selectivity much higher than those described in the open and patent literature. / Margarit Benavent, VJ.

Die Arbeit dokumentiert die Praxis psychoanalytischer Betreuung von Kindern bzw. Jugendlichen in einer Unterkunft für Geflüchtete und reflektiert die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer solchermaßen als „aufsuchende Psychoanalyse“ realisierten Konfliktbearbeitung bei geflüchteten Menschen. Sie geht also den Fragen nach, inwiefern Psychoanalyse in einem prekären und vulnerablen Umfeld wie einer Unterkunft für Geflüchtete praktiziert werden kann bzw. inwiefern Kinder davon profitieren können, wenn eine psychoanalytische Kindertherapeutin direkt ansprechbar ist und Therapiesitzungen komplikationslos zustande kommen können. Im Zentrum steht eine ausführliche Falldarstellung, gerahmt von der Reflexion von theoretischen und methodischen Voraussetzungen, wobei insbesondere der notwendigen psychoanalytischen Haltung und den Bedingungen traumatischer Belastungen Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird. Methodisch zeigt sich konkret die Funktion des „Squiggle“/Kritzelspiels (Winnicott) als relevante Kommunikationsmöglichkeit. Ergebnis dieser Dokumentation und Reflexion ist eine positive Bewertung einer solchen Form „aufsuchender Psychoanalyse“: Kinder im Kontext von Flüchtlingsunterkünften benötigen eine niederschwellig zu nutzende psychoanalytische Hilfe zur Bewältigung ihrer inneren Konflikte, sie profitieren von einer vertrauensvollen Verständigung in einem geschützten (tendenziell intermediären) Raum mit einem Gegenüber, das ihnen in der Haltung „szenischen Verstehens“ begegnet. / The work documents the practice of psychoanalytic care for children and adolescents in a refugee shelter and reflects on the possibilities and limitations of such „outreach psychoanalysis“in conflict resolution with refugees. In other words, it explores the extent to which psychoanalysis can be practiced in a precarious and vulnerable environment such as a refugee shelter and the extent to which children can benefit when a psychoanalytic child therapist is directly accessible and therapy sessions can take place without complications. The focus is on a detailed case presentation, framed by a reflection on theoretical and methodological prerequisites, whereby particular attention is paid to the necessary psychoanalytic attitude and the conditions of traumatic stress. Methodologically, the function of the „squiggle“ / scribbling game (Winnicott) is shown to be a relevant means of communication. The result of this documentation and reflection is a positive assessment of such a form of „outreach psychoanalysis“: children in the context of refugee accommodation need low-threshold psychoanalytic help to overcome their inner conflicts; they benefit from trusting communication in a protected (generally intermediate space) with a counterpart who meets them in an attitude of „scenic understanding“.
