Obtaining holographic volume gratings with high diffraction efficiencies that can be used under white light has been a serious problem for the polyvinyl alcohol-acrylamide-based photopolymers developed by other researchers. In this paper we propose to eliminate the residual monomer in…

Kogelnik's coupled-wave (CW) theory has been used for decades to predict the diffraction efficiency of volume diffraction gratings. Although this theory has been applied with success to volume diffraction gratings recorded under a great variety of experimental conditions, its predictions…

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a eficiência do método de avaliação contingente, aplicando sua técnica para estimação econômica do conforto ambiental (térmico, acústico e luminoso) dos prédios administrativos da Universidade de Campinas. A especifidade do objetivo de estudo permitiu…

Las siguientes páginas apuntan a marcar la incidencia de otros modos discursivos de la narrativa a partir de una dupla de narradoras que han producido un cierto impacto en la creación literaria de la última década del siglo XX. Estos…

Options have been shown to be a key step in extending
reinforcement learning beyond low-level reactionary systems
to higher-level, planning systems. Most of the options
research involves hand-crafted options; there has been only very limited work in the automated discovery…

In this paper a slightly modification is proposed to the original Wong and Gotos ATA method for the computation of elementary functions in IEEE 754 single precision. The identification of a trade-off leads to the proposition of a different chunk…

This paper presents the Adesso, a computational environment for the development of scientific software. The Adesso environment leverages the reusable software component programming model to support the development and integration of components to several scientific programming platforms. The Adesso system…

Object-oriented software development has proven effective for systems development, but the creation of reusable and changeable software architectures is still a challenging task. Design patterns capture the expertise for reusable design solutions, but there is no methodical approach to providing…

Multiwavelets are new addition to the body of wavelet theory. There are many types of symmetric multiwavelets such as Geronimo-Hardin-Massopust (GHM) and Chui-Lian (CL) multiwavelets. However, the matrix filter generating the GHM system multiwavelets does not satisfy the symmetric property.…
