Thermal wave phenomenon is observed is thin metallic rod by application of periodic heating. In this way, it is demonstrated that there is no wave nature in these improperly called thermal waves by showing that they do not transport energy and its propagation properties can be used to determine the thermal diffusivity of the material.

The kernel is a computer program that has complete control over the operating system. It handles the input/output requests and translates them into data-processing instructions for the CPU. It handles not only the memory, but also peripherals. The kernel controls the tasks that are managed in the running system, some of these are running processes, hardware management and handling interrupts, in the kernel space. On the other hand, the user performs in the user space. This separation helps to prevent data interfering that can cause instability and slowness, or worse, malfunctioning application programs that can crash the entire operating system. The process scheduler decides which is the next task to run. In the following project we analyzed the behavior of the scheduler changing the default value of the runtime scheduling, this value is 950000µs for the scheduler real time running variable. According to this, 5% of the CPU time is reserved for processes that are not running under a realtime or deadline scheduling policy. On this project, this value specifies how much of the period time could be used by real-time and deadline scheduled processes on the system.

Vibration control is crucially important in ensuring a smooth ride for vehicle passengers. This study sought to design a suspension system for a car such that its mode of vibration would be predominantly bouncing at lower speeds, and primarily pitching at higher speeds. Our study used analytical and numerical methods to choose appropriate springs and dampers for the front and rear suspension. After an initial miscalculation, we succeeded in arriving at appropriate shocks for the vehicle with the desired modes of vibration at the specified frequencies. We then assessed the maximum bouncing and pitching that the vehicle would experience under a specific set of conditions: travel at 40 km/hr over broken, rough terrain. Our testing showed moderate success in our suspension design. We successfully damped the force being transmitted to both the front and rear quarter car somewhat, while ensuring that the modes of vibration fell into the desired shapes at the desired frequency ranges.

Este trabajo presenta la aplicación de un conjunto de articulos con propias teorías de los robots manipuladores y el modelamiento de pinzas. Para ello el brazo humano se modela como un robot manipulador redundante. En particular se aplica el concepto de índices de desempeño para predecir posturas óptimas del brazo durante la realización de tareas. En el estudio se incluyen tanto estructuras estáticas, como tambien los analisis de estabilidad del brazo y los materiales para su respectiva realizacion. This work presents the application of a set of articles with the own theories of the manipulative robots and the modeling of tweezers. For this, the bearing is modeled as a redundant manipulator robot. In particular, the concept of performance indices is applied to predict the optimal postures of the task during the performance of tasks. The study includes both static structures, as well as safety management analyzes and materials for their respective realization.

Se pretende describir el decaimiento de una partícula α encontrando los niveles de energía Eα correspondientes a los estados ligados de la partícula producto de la desintegración. Los niveles de energía y los estados ligados se encuentran mediante dos métodos de aproximación: WKB y diferencias finitas. Posteriormente se halla el tiempo de vida medio τ, se comparan los resultados con los de la literatura y se decide el mejor método de solución acorde con la literatura.

Lazaridou., et al 2017 proposed a framework for language learning that relies on multi-agent communication. The agents in the framework were setup in a referential game where they communicated about many images. In this paper, we propose an experiment where agents develop a private language for referring to specified sentences given a set of sentences. The challenge is for the agents to learn a method of distinguishing differences between sentences and to develop a shared language to be able to refer to particular sentences by those distinguishing features. We will evaluate the agents' ability to accurately identify and differentiate the sentences. In addition, we will identify patterns in the methods that the agents develop to refer to the different types of sentences.Keywords: Reinforcement learning, multi-agent coordination

This research paper aims at exploiting efficient ways of implementing the N-Body problem. The N-Body problem, in the field of physics, predicts the movements and planets and their gravitational interactions. In this paper, the efficient execution of heavy computational work through usage of different cores in CPU and GPU is looked into; achieved by integrating the OpenMP parallelization API and the Nvidia CUDA into the code. The paper also aims at performance analysis of various algorithms used to solve the same problem. This research not only aids as an alternative to complex simulations but also for bigger data that requires work distribution and computationally expensive procedures.
