This book was released on 1994 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans le cadre de l'etude de la conception d'une machine de traitement temps reel de la representation surfacique d'objets en trois dimensions, nous avons mis au point une methodologie d'adequation algorithme architecture qui fait le lien entre les algorithmes valides sous forme logicielle et l'architecture de traitement temps reel parallelisee, realisable sous forme d'un circuit vlsi. Apres avoir rappele la description de la chaine de representation tridimensionnelle et decrit l'evolution des processeurs vers des structures paralleles, nous montrons comment il est necessaire de s'imposer le concept flot de donnees dans lequel le parallelisme est implicite. Nous appliquons le concept flot de donnees au traitement temps reel de la representation d'objets en 3d en etablissant le lien entre le langage synchrone signal et la description des circuits a l'aide de vhdl, ce qui constitue une des originalites de notre travail. Ce travail debouche sur une proposition d'evolution du langage signal, la conception possible d'un editeur graphique et la methode de realisation du processus de representation 3d en temps reel. L'ensemble de la methodologie est experimente et valide par des simulations sur des exemples de fonctions de la chaine de representation 3d utilisant une logique a multiplexage.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La reconfiguration dynamique des FPGA, malgré des caractéristiques intéressantes, peine à s’installer dans l’industrie principalement pour deux raisons. Tout d’abord, les performances du contrôleur natif développé par Xilinx sont faibles et pourront résulter en un rapport entre le temps de reconfiguration et la période de la tâche trop importante pour une implémentation dynamique. Ensuite, le développement d’une application reconfigurable dynamiquement demande un effort plus conséquent, notamment concernant l’ordonnancement des tâches. Il est en effet impossible d’évaluer une architecture et/ou un algorithme d’ordonnancement pour vérifier si l’application respectera bien ses contraintes de temps avant la phase d’implémentation. Cette thèse s’inscrit dans ce contexte et propose des solutions aux problématiques énoncées précédemment. Dans un premier temps, nous présenterons FaRM, un contrôleur de reconfiguration dynamique capable d’atteindre les limites théoriques de la technologie grâce à un algorithme de compression efficient et une architecture optimisée. Ensuite, nous présenterons RecoSim, un simulateur d’architectures reconfigurables en SystemC modélisant à un haut niveau d’abstraction un tel système. Basé sur un modèle de coût du temps de reconfiguration avec FaRM, RecoSim permet notamment le développement et l’évaluation d’algorithmes d’ordonnancement, qui sont des éléments clés des architectures temps-réel. Finalement, nous montrerons comment ces premières contributions sont utilisées au sein de FoRTReSS, un flot d’exploration d’architectures intégré avec les outils de développement Xilinx. Ces travaux ont été effectués dans le cadre du projet ANR ARDMAHN.

Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LE BUT DE CETTE THESE EST D'INTRODUIRE UNE CONTRAINTE DE QUALITE LORS DE LA PHASE DE SYNTHESE ARCHITECTURALE. L'IMPLANTATION D'UN ALGORITHME DE TRAITEMENT DU SIGNAL, SUR UN CIRCUIT NUMERIQUE REVIENT A ETABLIR CERTAINES TRANSFORMATIONS DE LA DESCRIPTION COMPORTEMENTALE POUR PRODUIRE UNE DESCRIPTION STRUCTURELLE. CES TRANSFORMATIONS INDUISENT DES ERREURS SUR LES RESULTATS EN SORTIE D'OPERATEURS. AINSI, NOUS POUVONS QUANTIFIER CETTE ERREUR ET ADAPTER LE FORMAT DES DONNEES AFIN DE SATISFAIRE UNE CONTRAINTE. CETTE DERNIERE VIENT S'AJOUTER AUX CONTRAINTES TEMPS REEL ET INFLUENCE L'OPTIMISATION DE LA CONSOMMATION LORS DE LA SYNTHESE ARCHITECTURALE. EN GUISE D'INTRODUCTION A CE CHAPITRE, NOUS PRESENTONS DEUX POINTS DE VUE CONCERNANT L'IMPLANTATION : CELUI DU CONCEPTEUR D'ALGORITHME DE TRAITEMENT DU SIGNAL ET CELUI DU CONCEPTEUR D'ARCHITECTURE. ENSUITE, NOUS DEFINISSONS LE DOMAINE RELIANT LE TRAITEMENT DU SIGNAL A L'ARCHITECTURE : L'ADEQUATION ALGORITHME ARCHITECTURE (A#3). CE DOMAINE A POUR OBJET D'OPTIMISER LA SYNTHESE DU CIRCUIT EN TENANT COMPTE DES CONTRAINTES DES DEUX DOMAINES. L'INTERET D'UNE IMPLANTATION EN VIRGULE FIXE EST LE FAIBLE COUT ARCHITECTURAL. MAIS LE FAIT DE CODER DES DONNEES APPARTENANT A UN ENSEMBLE FINI PROVOQUE DES DEBORDEMENTS ET DES ERREURS DE CALCUL QUI SONT MODELISEES EN DEFINISSANT DEUX CLASSES : LES ERREURS GENEREES ET LES ERREURS PROPAGEES. PARMI LES MODELES PRESENTES, NOUS RETIENDRONS UN MODELE GARANTISSANT LA GENERICITE DE LA METHODE D'OPTIMISATION DE L'ADEQUATION ALGORITHME ARCHITECTURE. LA PRESENTATION DE CETTE METHODOLOGIE SE DIVISE EN TROIS POINTS. TOUT D'ABORD, NOUS DECRIVONS LA METHODOLOGIE DE CONCEPTION D'UN CIRCUIT NUMERIQUE. ENSUITE, NOUS PRESENTONS L'OUTIL DE SYNTHESE ARCHITECTURALE GAUT. ENFIN, NOUS DETAILLONS NOTRE METHODOLOGIE D'OPTIMISATION DE L'ADEQUATION ALGORITHME ARCHITECTURE. LE BUT D'UN OUTIL DE SYNTHESE ARCHITECTURALE EST D'OBTENIR UNE DESCRIPTION STRUCTURELLE DE L'ARCHITECTURE A PARTIR D'UNE DESCRIPTION COMPORTEMENTALE DE L'ALGORITHME, ET SOUS CONTRAINTES (PRINCIPALEMENT TEMPS REEL). LES SPECIFICATIONS DES DIFFERENTS OUTILS EXISTANT SONT BASEES SUR DES MODELES DE FLOTS DE DONNEES ET DE CONTROLE (CDFG). CES MODELES PERMETTENT DE RASSEMBLER TOUTES LES INFORMATIONS RELATIVES A L'ALGORITHME, EN PARTICULIER LE PARALLELISME POTENTIEL DES TRAITEMENTS QUI SERA EXPLOITE DANS LA PHASE DE SYNTHESE. L'OBJECTIF DE CETTE METHODOLOGIE EST DE TROUVER LE MEILLEUR JEU DE FORMATS DE REPRESENTATION DES DONNEES GARANTISSANT UN RAPPORT SIGNAL A BRUIT DE CALCUL INFERIEUR A UNE CONTRAINTE SPECIFIEE PAR LE CONCEPTEUR. LA METHODOLOGIE SE DECOMPOSE SUIVANT TROIS AXES. NOUS DEFINISSONS DES FONCTIONS ELEMENTAIRES PERMETTANT DE SPECIFIER LES ELEMENTS DU GRAPHE EN FONCTION OBJECTIFS DES TRANSFORMATIONS (DYNAMIQUE, RECADRAGE ET BRUIT DE CALCUL). ENSUITE, NOUS ETABLISSONS UNE STRATEGIE D'APPLICATION DE CES FONCTIONS ELEMENTAIRES. ENFIN, NOUS DEFINISSONS LES CONTRAINTES LIEES A L'APPLICATION DE CES FONCTIONS. LA MISE EN UVRE DE NOTRE METHODOLOGIE S'APPLIQUE AU NIVEAU DU GRAPHE FLOT DE DONNEES (DFG) ISSU DE LA COMPILATION DU CDFG. LE FAIT DE TRAVAILLER A UN HAUT NIVEAU CONFERE A NOTRE METHODE UN CARACTERE INDEPENDANT DE L'OUTIL DE SYNTHESE ARCHITECTURALE UTILISE. LA PREMIERE ETAPE CONSISTE A MODELISER LES OPERATIONS AFIN D'OBTENIR DES FONCTIONS ELEMENTAIRES, EN TERME DE DYNAMIQUE, DE RECADRAGE ET DE BRUIT DE CALCUL. NOUS DEFINISSONS UNE STRATEGIE DE COMPOSITION DE CES FONCTIONS ELEMENTAIRES AFIN DE POUVOIR EXPLORER UNE STRUCTURE DE TYPE GRAPHE FLOT. LA DERNIERE ETAPE CONSISTE A DEFINIR UNE METHODE GENERALE EN APPLIQUANT SUCCESSIVEMENT DES TRANSFORMATIONS BASEES SUR LES FONCTIONS ELEMENTAIRES (PRIMITIVES). CECI NOUS PERMET D'OBTENIR UN NOUVEAU GRAPHE A PARTIR DUQUEL LA SYNTHESE FOURNIT LE GRAPHE MATERIEL. LES TRANSFORMATIONS APPLIQUEES A CE GRAPHE SONT LE CALCUL DE LA DYNAMIQUE, LE RECADRAGE DES DONNEES ET L'EVALUATION DE LA PUISSANCE DE BRUIT DE CALCUL, CETTE DERNIERE NOUS PERMETTANT DE DETERMINER LE FORMAT ADAPTE A LA CONTRAINTE. NOUS PROPOSONS DEUX METHODES POUR SUPPRIMER LES PHENOMENES DE DEBORDEMENT : LE RECADRAGE INTERNE ET LE RECADRAGE EXTERNE. LE RECADRAGE INTERNE CONSISTE A OPERER UN DECALAGE DES QU'UN DEPASSEMENT EST OBSERVE. LE RECADRAGE EXTERNE CONSISTE A PROPAGER, SUR LES VARIABLES D'ENTREE, LES PRIMITIVES RECADRAGE APPLIQUEES LORS DU RECADRAGE INTERNE. L'EVALUATION DE LA PUISSANCE DE BRUIT DE CALCUL EST BASEE SUR UN PARCOURS DU GRAPHE FLOT DE DONNEES ET SUR L'APPLICATION DES MODELES CONSIDERES. A PARTIR DE L'EXPRESSION ANALYTIQUE DE LA PUISSANCE DE BRUIT DE CALCUL ET DE LA CONTRAINTE RAPPORT SIGNAL A BRUIT DE CALCUL, NOUS DETERMINONS LE NOMBRE DE BITS DE L'ARCHITECTURE CIBLE. POUR ILLUSTRER CETTE METHODOLOGIE, NOUS DETAILLERONS SON APPLICATION SUR LE FILTRE A REPONSE IMPULSIONNELLE FINIE (FIR 16), LA TRANSFORMEE DE FOURIER RAPIDE (FFT) ET LA TRANSFORMEE EN ONDELETTES DISCRETE (DWT). CETTE METHODE NOUS PERMET D'OPTIMISER L'ADEQUATION ALGORITHME ARCHITECTURE SOUS CONTRAINTE DE RAPPORT S

UNE APPLICATION DE CETTE NOUVELLE TECHNOLOGIE EST LA REALISATION DE MACHINES PARALLELES POUR LE TRAITEMENT DES IMAGES (SYSTEMES DE VISIO-CONFERENCES, CALCULATEURS ET TELEVISION HAUTE DEFINITION). CE SONT DES APPLICATIONS QU'AUCUN PROCESSEUR SEQUENTIEL NE PEUT REALISER EN TEMPS REEL, ET QUI SONT BIEN ADAPTEES A DES MACHINES SYSTOLIQUES OU SIMD. CEPENDANT, LES OUTILS ET LES METHODOLOGIES ACTUELLEMENT UTILISEES POUR CONCEVOIR DES CIRCUITS INTEGRES NE PEUVENT PAS ETRE DIRECTEMENT TRANSPOSES POUR LA CONCEPTION D'ARCHITECTURES PARALLELES.

NOUS CONSIDERONS L'EXEMPLE D'UN ALGORITHME D'ESTIMATION DE MOUVEMENT PAR COMPARAISON DE BLOCS POUR LA COMPRESSION D'IMAGE, ET NOUS PRESENTONS PLUSIEURS ARCHITECTURES PARALLELES POUR CET ALGORITHME. ENSUITE, NOUS PROPOSONS UNE METHODOLOGIE NOUVELLE POUR DECRIRE ET SIMULER DES ARCHITECTURES PARALLELES A PARTIR D'UNE LIBRAIRIE DE CELLULES DEFINIES AVEC LE LANGAGE SIGNAL. UN MODELE SIGNAL EST PROPOSE, SELON LES CARACTERISTIQUES DU TYPE DE L'HORLOGE, DU TYPE DES SIGNAUX, ET DU STYLE DE COMMUNICATION ENTRE LES CELLULES.

Download or read book Water Heritage written by Willem Willems and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is vital for life, and its availability has been a concern for mankind throughout the ages. Its presence has always been ascertained in a variety of ways and the development of human society everywhere is connected with various forms of water management. Man also needed to manage water to find protection from its dangers and the need for that is increasing. In the coming decades, the impact of climate change is expected to intensify floods and droughts, affect groundwater resources, raise sea levels, increase pollution and enhance the frequency and magnitude of disasters. Societies around the world are challenged to adapt to these threats to ensure water security, economic prosperity and environmental and cultural sustainability. This book deals with the heritage of water management and the use that was made of water, as well as the impact of water management on heritage. An example of the former may be an ancient irrigation system in the Filipines or in the Middle East that still functions today, while the latter may reflect the importance of maintaining groundwater levels for the preservation of organic remains on archaeological sites or of wooden piles underneath standing buildings. In either case the papers in this book reflect the dynamic nature of water, and hence the equally dynamic relation between water management and heritage. This publication follows up on a Heritage and Water conference in Amsterdam, the first of its kind. Its main purpose is to credibly present the importance and value of heritage and historical experience for water and sustainable development, and vice versa, present the importance of water management for the protection of heritage. It presents evolving insights and concepts about Water and about Heritage from a variety of disciplines, policy and public perspectives illustrated with cases studies and aims to connect decision makers with experts such as engineers, archaeologists, historians, geographers, ecologist and landscape architects

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.
Download or read book Global Burden of Disease and Risk Factors written by Alan D. Lopez and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006-04-02 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic health planning, the cornerstone of initiatives designed to achieve health improvement goals around the world, requires an understanding of the comparative burden of diseases and injuries, their corresponding risk factors and the likely effects of invervention options. The Global Burden of Disease framework, originally published in 1990, has been widely adopted as the preferred method for health accounting and has become the standard to guide the setting of health research priorities. This publication sets out an updated assessment of the situation, with an analysis of trends observed since 1990 and a chapter on the sensitivity of GBD estimates to various sources of uncertainty in methods and data.
Download or read book Precisions on the Present State of Architecture and City Planning written by Le Corbusier and published by Park Publishing (WI). This book was released on 2015-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of his death (August 27, 2015), one of Le Corbusier's most significant books becomes available again in English. We are doing a reprint of MIT Press's first edition of 1991, which again is based on the original French version of 1930, with an introduction added by the author in 1960. While the MIT Press version had black-and-white illustrations throughout, Park Books' new edition features some of Le Corbusier's drawings in color as they were in the earlier French editions. A new essay by British scholar Tim Benton, written for this new edition, contextualizes the book within Le Corbusier's oeuvre and comments on its lasting significance. An also new appendix explains specialist terms and provides background information on persons and historic events no longer necessarily known to a younger generation of architects. The Precisions, as the book is known commonly, emerged from a spontaneous and exuberant series of 10 lectures Le Corbusier gave in Buenos Aires during the fall of 1929. As he spoke, Le Corbusier improvised drawings on large sheets of paper with crayons. While similar drawings appear in other works, here all the lectures and images appear in their original context as Le Corbusier assembled them more than 80 years ago. The texts reflect a new maturity in Le Corbusier's thinking and an extreme confidence in the development of his ideas. The drawings and lectures are unique in their eloquent and concise summary of his philosophy of architecture and urban design, stating the principles that informed his work from the 1920s on. They contain some of his most compelling aphorisms, both verbal and visual, covering technique as the basis of architecture, the human scale in design, furniture, the private house, apartments and office buildings, the city, the League of Nations competition, teaching architecture, and a splendid analysis of the transformation of his own work in houses from La Roche-Jeanneret to the Villa Savoye. [Based on MIT Press's copy for their 1991 edition]

This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This joint venture between ICOMOS, the advisory body to UNESCO on cultural sites, and the International Astronomical Union is the second volume in an ongoing exploration of themes and issues relating to astronomical heritage in particular and to science and technology heritage in general. It examines a number of key questions relating to astronomical heritage sites and their potential recognition as World Heritage, attempting to identify what might constitute "outstanding universal value" in relation to astronomy. "Heritage Sites of Astronomy and Archaeoastronomy--Volume 2" represents the culmination of several years' work to address some of the most challenging issues raised in the first ICOMOS-IAU Thematic Study, published in 2010. These include the recognition and preservation of the value of dark skies at both cultural and natural sites and landscapes; balancing archaeoastronomical considerations in the context of broader archaeological and cultural values; the potential for serial nominations; and management issues such as preserving the integrity of astronomical sightlines through the landscape.Its case studies are developed in greater depth than those in volume 1, and generally structured as segments of draft nomination dossiers. They include seven-stone antas (prehistoric dolmens) in Portugal and Spain, the thirteen towers of Chankillo in Peru, the astronomical timing of irrigation in Oman, Pic du Midi de Bigorre Observatory in France, Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and Aoraki-Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve in New Zealand. A case study on Stonehenge, already a World Heritage Site, focuses on preserving the integrity of the solstitial sightlines.As for the first ICOMOS-IAU Thematic Study, a international team of authors including historians, astronomers and heritage professionals is led by Professor Clive Ruggles for the IAU and Professor Michel Cotte for ICOMOS.
