The Fun Theory

justificação. ABSTRACT The “pragmatic turn’” proposed by Boltanski and others should not lead us to abandon the project of Critical Theory, as if all necessary criticism were already articulated within everyday practices of critique. The reflective capacities of “ordinary” actors and their practices of justification and criti‑ que, which are convincingly reconstructed by the sociology of critique, constitute the social and methodological basis of critical theory. However, this…

O site também aponta o exato local onde cada um ocorreu. Além disso, o link “Meet the Team” (ANEXO C – Interface Meet the Team) apresenta o nome, a foto e a posição hierárquica na polícia de cada policial que está trabalhando no bairro, bem como um número de telefone e um e-mail de contato do posto policial da vizinhança.

Abstract An important issue in the design of a wireless sensor network is to devise techniques to make efficient use of its energy, and thus, extend its lifetime. Reduction in the communication among nodes is one way to achieve this goal, once communication is the main responsible for network energy consumption. An interesting technique to avoid communication is to build a model that uses the sensor node local information in its decisions. Once game theory deals with the optimization…

ABSTRACT The Manetocaloric Effect has been discovered since 1881, is today the basis of the development of magnetic refrigeration systems. This is characterized by two quantities: the isothermal entropy change (∆SIsot.) and the adiabatic temperature change (∆TAdiab.), which are evaluated under variations in the intensity of an applied magnetic field. In the adiabatic process when the material is subjected to an external magnetic field, its temperature increases. Reversibly, when the…

For me, the first challenge for computing science is to discover how to maintain order in a finite, but very large, discrete universe that is intricately intertwined. And a second, but not less important challenge is how to mould what you have achieved in solving the first problem, into a teachable discipline: it does not suffice to hone your own intellect (that will join you in your grave), you must teach others how to hone theirs. The more you concentrate on these two challenges,…

aplicação. Abstract This paper discusses the importance of mastering and having detailed domain of theoretical and abstract knowledge as a part of the conceptual background for professionals in the field of informatics. A broad landscape of this field is shown, a diversity of interesting theoretical subjects are commented and interrelated, and their relevance for a competent professional practice is emphasized. Keywords: informatics; Computation; Theory of Computation; abstraction;…

Abstract The purpose of this Master Dissertation is to build an algorithm which executes the Fuzzy Rule-Based System (FRBS) procedures. To reach this aim, it will be firstly studied the basic concepts of fuzzy set theory along with all FRBS components. After that, the computer codes that exihibit step-by-step some techniques for solving several problems using this powerful tool are going to show. Such a tool is widespread in Matlab. Promoting and spreading the accessibility to…
