Cette étude est consacrée à l’analyse malebranchiste de la sensibilité. Elle montre comment, par une analyse couplée de ses conditions concrètes et de sa constitution métaphysique, développant une véritable psychologie de l’intériorité et de l’expérience ordinaire et faisant du sentiment le point nodal de la double union de l’homme au monde et à Dieu, Malebranche parvient à produire une description puissamment originale de la conscience sensible. En témoigne en particulier le profond réaménagement qu’il impose aux cadres cartésiens de la noétique et de la psychologie, au cours de l’élaboration des concepts structurants de son analyse du sentir. Pourtant, s’il nous faudra souligner d’indéniables lignes de fracture entre les pensées, dont nous aurons à réévaluer le rapport, nous montrerons aussi en quoi l’analyse malebranchiste du sensible peut être comprise comme le prolongement – assurément critique et parfois paradoxal – de certaines suggestions cartésiennes. / This study address Malebranche's analysis of consciousness ans sensibility. It tends to show how Malebranche, by an accurate account of its concrete conditions and metaphysical setting, developing a psychology of interiority and day to day experience and considering sensation as a key phenomenon, involving both mind and body union and God's action, achieves to give an utterly original description of what he refers to as consciousness or 'inner feeling'. This appears mainly through the shifts Malebranche impulses to the cartesian framework of noetics and psychology.However, despite obvious differences between their conceptions, this study will show that Malebranche's analysis can as well be undestood as an extension, yet critical and paradoxal, of some lines of inquiry Descartes himself had suggested.

Based on a narrative structure and historical context of literary works and other articles of the author, this thesis is supposed to answer a question how Ernst Wiechert's work reflects his personal and authorship development and above all his attitude to the Nazism regime. It shows in which points his early production is similar to ideologeme of German national socialism and how the author distances from them later. The thesis describes the character of his regime critics in political and moral polarity as well as the reason for the author's inside transformation from critics to Inner Emigration.

This Diploma Thesis deals with {\clq}qMirroring`` and consists of 2 parts. Theoretical part is focused on the definition of the topic from several points of view in connection with psychological aspects of inner experience of the individual and his own existence. There is also an overview of art from the nineties in the nineteenth century to the eighties in the twentieth century, where I concentrate within these years on certain pieces of Jan Preisler, Emil Filla, František Jiroudek, Karel Souček, František Ronovský, Jíří Sozanský, Václav Bláha jr. and their inner perception. Practical part copies the topic and inner experience in a dialogue with the world together with the illustration of my inspiration and mind solutions. It contains six portraits in a size of 155 x 80 cm and supplementary sketches.

Chosen agricultural enterprise Agricultural-Trading Cooperative Farm operates 20 km away from České Budějovice in South Bohemia Region. Analysis of inner structure of this farm was performed for period 1997 {--} 2006. To project inner structure of the agricultural system, it is necessary to know the harvest area and yield of individual crops, cattle stock, and mineral fertilizer consumption. On the basis of performed analysis, using carbon-balance method, projects of inner structure specialized in bioenergy production were calculated. The production of bioethanol from cereals, oil from rape and biogas from cattle breeding refuse are taken into account. At comparison of individual variants from aspect of energetic gain under existing natural conditions, the variant specialized in cereals for ethanol production proves as the most suitable.

A faixa urbanizada da orla na costa sul – oriental e leste do Estado do Rio de Janeiro sofre constantemente com a destruição de calçadões, ruas, muros e casas em eventos oceanográficos extremos. Essas construções, na maior parte dos casos estão localizadas muito próximas ao limite com a praia, dentro da faixa de não edificação prevista no Projeto Orla do Ministério do Meio Ambiente. A região apresenta forte crescimento populacional com principais atividades econômicas associadas à exploração de petróleo nas cidades de Macaé e Rio das Ostras, ao turismo da Região dos Lagos, além do centro urbano de Niterói já consolidado. A identificação de jazidas de material semelhante ao original para recuperação de praias como opção de mitigação, representa uma alternativa para manter a função de proteção exercida pelas mesmas e de seu uso para o lazer. Nesse sentido, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a compatibilidade de sedimentos superficiais da plataforma continental interna com as areias de praias urbanas, situadas entre as cidades de Niterói e Macaé – RJ, através da comparação de parâmetros estatísticos da distribuição granulométrica das areias desses dois ambientes. Para a caracterização sedimentar das praias alvo, foram coletadas amostras da face praial de 16 praias situadas nos principais núcleos urbanos deste segmento do litoral fluminense. Os dados granulométricos dos sedimentos superficiais da antepraia e plataforma continental interna entre Niterói e Macaé são secundários, de campanhas oceanográficas pretéritas. Tais dados foram filtrados e digitalizados, somando um total de aproximadamente 1200 pontos de coleta que vão desde a barra leste da Baia da Guanabara até a Restinga de Jurubatiba. Onze áreas granulometricamente compatível com as diferentes praias da região de estudo foram identificadas próximo à isóbata de -20 m ao largo da costa de Niterói e Maricá, de Cabo Frio e Búzios e entre Rio das Ostras e Macaé, representando potenciais estoques de sedimento para utilização em projetos de recuperação dessas praias. / The urbanized coastline of east and south-east littoral of the state of Rio de Janeiro suffers constantly with the destruction of houses, walls and streets in extreme oceanographic events. These constructions, in most cases are located very close to the limit with the beach, inside of the range of no building suggest by Projeto Orla – Ministry of Environment. This region has strong population growth with major economic activities associated with oil exploration in the city of Macae and Rio das Ostras, industry of tourism in Lakes Region and the urban center of Niteroi already consolidated. The identification of sand deposits with similar granulometric characteristics to the native material to nourishment project as a mitigation option, represented an alternative to maintain the protective function of the beach and use for recreation. The objective of this study is analyze the compatibility of surface sediments of the inner continental shelf and sands of urban beaches, located between the cities of Niteroi and Macae – RJ, through of comparison the statistical parameters of size distribution of the sands of these two environments. For the characterization of sedimentary beaches were sampled from the beach face of 16 beaches located in the major urban centers of this segment of the coastline of Rio de Janeiro’s state. The granulometric data of surface sediments of the inner continental shelf between Niteroi an Macae are secondary from preterits oceanographic campaigns. These datas were filtered and digitized with a total of approximately 1200 collection points ranging from east bar of Guanabara Bay to the Restinga de Jurubatiba. Eleven areas granulometrically compatible with the different beaches were identified near the -20 meters isobaths near the coast of Niteroi and Marica, Cabo Frio and Buzios and between Rio das Ostras and Macae, representing a potential borrow areas for use in nourishment projects in this region.

abstract: A question that has driven much of the current research in formal syntax is whether it is the lexicon or the syntax that determines the argument structure of a verb. This dissertation attempts to answer this question with a focus on Arabic, a language that has received little attention in the literature of argument structure. In this dissertation, argument structure realization is examined in relation to three different components, namely the root, the CV-skeleton and the structure around the verb. I argue that argument structure is not determined on a root level in Arabic. I also show that only few CV-skeletons (verb patterns) are associated with certain argument structures. Instead, the burden of determining argument structure lies on elements around the structure of VP. The determinants of inner aspect in Arabic and the relation between eventuality types and argument structure are also examined. A cartographic model is provided to show how elements around the VP play a role in determining the inner aspect. This model also represents a relationship between argument structure and eventuality types. The question of what determines argument structure is further addressed through the investigation of the causative/inchoative alternation in Arabic in light of recent semantic and syntactic accounts. I argue that most Arabic verbs that undergo the alternation are non-agentive change-of-state verbs. Although certain lexical characteristics may account for which verbs alternate and which do not, exceptions within a language and/or across languages do exist. I point to a range of phenomena that can be only explained from syntactic points of view. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. English 2012

abstract: The problem of cooperative radar and communications signaling is investigated. Each system typically considers the other system a source of interference. Consequently, the tradition is to have them operate in orthogonal frequency bands. By considering the radar and communications operations to be a single joint system, performance bounds on a receiver that observes communications and radar return in the same frequency allocation are derived. Bounds in performance of the joint system is measured in terms of data information rate for communications and radar estimation information rate for the radar. Inner bounds on performance are constructed. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Electrical Engineering 2014

Context. Many occlusion culling algorithms have to cope with the task of balancing performance and accuracy. While it is desirable to accurately identify all occluded scene objects, settling with a rough estimate is often more beneficial for the overall performance. Algorithms that rely on a depth buffer can often gain a lot of performance by performing the occlusion culling at a lower resolution than the resolution of the screen. This calls for more advanced methods to render the depth buffer as the standard rasterizer will not guarantee inner coverage. Objectives. The goal of this thesis is to find a solution to generate a depth buffer where all rasterized pixels are fully covered by overlapping occluders. An algorithm is proposed that is based on previous work on inner conservative rasterization. The algorithm addresses some of the problems existing methods are suffering from, but also has some flaws of its own. Methods. The proposed algorithm is tested by comparing it to two methods that also produce conservative results. A GPU-based occlusion culling system is developed to conduct an experiment. The experiment is performed by measuring performance and culling efficiency in two different views of a scene. The scene is set up to represent an average setting in a game. Results. The results from the experiment show that the proposed algorithm outperforms its competitors in many cases. In the first scene view, the total frame time is 5% faster at a full screen resolution of 1366x768 pixels and 8% faster at a full screen resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The depth buffer generated by the proposed algorithm is culling atleast as many occludees as its competitors and often surpasses them. In the second scene view, the total frame time is 2% faster at a full screen resolution of 1366x768 pixels and 3% faster at a full screen resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The depth buffer generated by the proposed algorithm is often culling more occludees than its competitors, but is at lower resolutions less efficient, up to 3%. Conclusions. The conclusions show that the goal has been reached. The proposed algorithm lacks flexibility, but provides good performance and accuracy. Future work to improve the proposed algorithm is outlined.

M.Tech. (Architecture) / This research interest stems from observing at close range (and researching historically) a seemingly impermeable cycle of occupation, violence and abandonment within the inner-city, whose roots stretch back over the past 130 years 1. The cycle has culminated in the 'writing off' of a number of inner-city buildings as 'bad buildings' not fit for habitation or study. This dissertation is both an architectural response and a research inquiry into how design, in its broadest sense, might contribute to an inner city 'vertical settlement' ...
