Le but de cette thèse est de rendre effectifs certains théorèmes et d'implanter efficacement certains algorithmes en algèbre différentielle, en vue d'une application à l'automatique non linéaire. Nous présentons trois résultats originaux. Le premier est un algorithme, Rosenfeld-Gröbner, qui décrit les modèles d'un système d'équations et d'inéquations polynomiales en algèbre différentielle ordinaire comme en algèbre différentielle partielle. L'algorithme décide du vide et donc de l'appartenance au radical d'un idéal différentiel de type fini. Notre deuxième résultat est une méthode qui calcule un ensemble caractéristique d'un idéal différentiel premier donné par une famille génératrice. Nous donnons enfin de nouvelles preuves des algorithmes d'élimination de Seidenberg. Les algorithmes que nous décrivons sont effectifs : ils n'utilisent que l'addition, la multiplication, les dérivations et le test d'égalité à zéro dans le corps de base des polynômes.

Electricity is a complex and interesting topic for research and investigation. From a systems level, electricity includes many steps from its generation (power plants) to transmission and distribution to delivery and final use. Within each of these steps are a set of tradeoffs that are region-specific, depending heavily on the types of generation technologies and input fuels used to generate the electricity. These tradeoffs are complex and often not positively correlated to one another, producing a web of information that makes conclusions regarding the net benefit of changes to the electricity generation mix unobvious and difficult to determine using general rules of thumb. As individuals look to change the mix of technologies and fuels used to generate electricity for environmental or economic reasons, this complex web results in a lack of clarity and understanding of the consequences of particular choices. Quantitative tools could provide individuals with clear information and improved understanding of the tradeoffs associated with changes to the electricity mix. Unfortunately, prior to this research, no such tools existed that provided a clear, rigorous, and unbiased quantitative comparison of the region-specific environmental and economic tradeoffs associated with changes to the electricity mix. This research filled this gap by developing a methodology for calculating the environmental and economic impacts of changes to the electricity generation mix for individual regions. This methodology was applied specifically to Texas to develop the Texas Interactive Power Simulator (TIPS), an interactive online tool accessible via the internet. This tool is currently used for direct instruction at The University of Texas at Austin for undergraduate courses. Preliminary data were collected to determine the usefulness of this tool as a classroom aid. These data revealed that a majority of students enjoy using the TIPS tool, felt that they learned about the tradeoffs of electricity generation methods by using TIPS, and wish that there were more learning tools like TIPS available to them. This research also investigated the potential to use energy efficiency to satisfy a portion of the electricity demand that would otherwise be supplied using a generation technology. The methodology and series of decision criteria that were developed with this investigation were used to determine the amount of generation that could reasonably be satisfied with energy efficiency technologies and supportive policies for a particular region of interest, in this case Texas. This methodology was established using the Rosenfeld Effect as a basis for evaluating the energy efficiency potential in a specific region, providing a more realistic maximum energy efficiency value than using theoretical maximum gains based on current best available technology. It was then compared to efficiency potential estimates by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) and the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT). In this research, I found that Texas is unlikely to realize more than an annual savings of 11% or about 1.5 megawatt-hours per capita compared to 2007 use levels based on nominal energy efficiency approaches. When this potential savings was applied to offset future demand increases in Texas, it was found that new generation capacity would still be needed over the next few decades to meet increasing total electricity demand. I used the economic and environmental tradeoff analysis and energy efficiency limitations methodologies that I established in my research to calculate the economic and environmental tradeoffs of changes to the electricity mix resulting from several scenarios, including federal energy and climate legislation, nuclear renaissance, high wind power growth, and maximizing energy efficiency. The outputs from these scenarios yielded the following observations: 1. Energy efficiency is unlikely to replace more than 11% of total per capita electricity demand in Texas. This level of energy efficiency might reduce total demand in the state, but population growth and its corresponding impacts on state electricity use might outpace the savings from energy efficiency in the long-term. This population growth could result in an overall increase in total annual state electricity use, despite energy efficiency gains. 2. While nuclear power might be environmentally advantageous from the standpoint of total emission of greenhouse gases compared to fossil fuel-fired power plants, it has very high up-front capital costs and is very water-intensive. 3. A federal combined energy efficiency and renewable portfolio standard might require states to install new renewable power generation capacity. In some states, including Texas, the amount of required new generation capacity may be small because of existing state initiatives encouraging renewable generation capacity to be installed in the state and the potential to offset some generation requirements using energy efficiency. / text

Após a apresentação da problemática relativa à legitimidade da jurisdição constitucional, na Introdução, o primeiro capítulo procurou expor os fundamentos filosóficos do pensamento de Rosenfeld, tendo em vista, principalmente, seu vínculo com a teoria desconstrutivista. No segundo capítulo foram delineados os contornos e conceitos da teoria da identidade do sujeito constitucional propriamente dita. O terceiro capítulo tratou dos elementos recuperados da teoria semiótica, apresentando a identidade constitucional como um sistema de significações, uma linguagem dotada de signos e regras particulares. No quarto capítulo analisou-se o processo de comunicação do discurso constitucional, bem como os mecanismos da negação, da metáfora e da metonímia, e sua importância para a estruturação das construções e reconstruções da identidade constitucional. O quinto capítulo apresenta sugestões e critérios de legitimidade para o discurso constitucional, a partir dos requisitos decorrentes do constitucionalismo, do pluralismo e do Estado Democrático de Direito. O sexto e último capítulo explica alguns dos caracteres constantes de certos discursos constitucionais ilegítimos. A conclusão, por fim, retoma os temas desenvolvidos ao longo da dissertação e traça considerações sobre a aplicabilidade desses temas na comunidade política brasileira. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This dissertation analyzed the legitimacy of constitutional adjudication and constitutional discourse based on Michel Rosenfeld’s theory of the identity of the constitutional subject, coupled with classic concepts of semiotics taken from authors like Umberto Eco, Roland Barthes, Ferdinand Saussure, Roman Jakobson. After the introduction of the problem concerning the legitimacy of constitutional adjucation, the first chapter exposed the philosophical background of Rosenfeld’s theory, directly linked with the philosophical approach of Deconstruction. The concepts and ideas that compose the theory of the identity of the constitutional subject were later explained and developed on the second chapter. The third chapter dealt with the elements taken from semiotics, presenting the constitutional identity as a language, with particular signs and rules. In the fourth chapter, the communication process of the constitutional discourse was analyzed, as well as the mechanisms of negation, metaphor and metonomy, and their role linked with constructions and reconstructions of the constitutional identity. The fifth chapter presents some suggestions and criteria of legitimacy for the constitutional discourse, based on the requisites of constitutionalism, pluralism, and Democratic Rule of Law, and the sixth and final chapter explains some of the possible configurations of illegitimate constitutional discourse. At last, the conclusion revisits

Paul L. Rosenfeld ( 1890-1946) almost single-handedly established the music of living American composers on a solid critical foundation in the period between the two world wars. Although he built a reputation chiefly as a critic of music, he was a man ofletters who ranged across all the arts with unrivaled competence and ease. Rosenfeld's contemporaries acknowledged him as a champion of that strain of modernism which celebrated the interrelatedness of the arts. His importance for the wider culture of early twentieth-century American modernism also lay in his seriousness about the arts. Rosenfeld earned forward the American democratic and romantic belief, epitomized by Walt Whitman and Alfred Stieglitz, in the capacity of art to articulate basic values that enrich and even ennoble the human person. Such an idealistic conception of the value of art was increasingly losing favor among the American literati during the 1920s, the period when Rosenfeld enjoyed his greatest influence and prestige. During this decade of"terrible honesty," American intellectuals tended to dismiss the "ideals of men" in favor of a single-minded interest in a more bitter realism. Inasmuch as they denigrated the notion that art held any kind of privileged status as a conveyor of values, they were in effect nascent postmodemists. This study ofPaul Rosenfeld's life and work examines the achievements ofPaul Rosenfeld as a critic of the arts in their relation to the wider American culture of the interwar years, and as a purveyor of modernism against the background of the first strains of postmodemism. It will also treat at length Rosenfeld's efforts as a writer, editor, and minor philanthropist on behalf of establishing a distinctively American music, literature, and painting. This cultural nationalism, I argue, is best understood as part ofRosenfeld's modernist project. To a lesser degree this thesis also deals with the changing position of the man of letters in American life. / History / D. Litt et Phil. (History)
