The purpose of this research was to generate the knowledge required to design compliant mechanisms that (1) attenuate undesired small-motion angular vibrations in rotational power transmission systems and (2) preserve the desired transmission of large-motion torque/angle inputs. This thesis investigates…

Dans un contexte social où se renégocie le contrat de genre, l’exploration des voies empruntées par les hommes pour (apprendre à) changer leur comportement, aussi bien que leurs croyances et leurs connaissances sur la masculinité, est particulièrement importante.
Située…

//// Abstract: Starting from an analysis of the paradox of Zenon and the notions of quantitative and qualitative multiplicity, Bergson establishes, on the one hand, the incapacity of rational knowledge to explain the real and, on the other, he emphasizes…

It has been noticed that during the initial semesters of Computing Engineering that the amount of human tutors is insufficient. The students/tutors ratio is very high and there is a great difference in the acquired knowledge and backgrounds. The idea…

En esta comunicación presentaremos el trabajo que estamos realizando, centrado en la creación de entornos que permitan la construcción conjunta del conocimiento mediante herramientas informáticas, en concreto la herramienta Knowledge Forum como elemento mediador en el proceso de discusión y…

An investigation was carried out on the contents of the architectural texts in order to illuminate written architectural knowledge. The thesis takes as its case study the required reading list for Introduction to Architecture course at Yale College, Yale University,…
