La pandemia de COVID-19 ha tenido un impacto significativo en la economía mundial. Muchos países experimentaron fuertes caídas en el PIB y aumentos en el desempleo debido a los cierres generalizados y las restricciones a los viajes. Aunque las vacunas han permitido la reapertura de muchas economías, los efectos a largo plazo de la pandemia en sectores como el turismo y los viajes aún no están claros.
This document analyzes and compares three different album advertisements. It discusses the text styles, colors, background images, and placement of the artist in each ad. Key takeaways include that a solid image of the artist creates a personal connection, and the background should represent the artist and spark interest. While comic-style text in one ad fits an indie-pop album's creative feel, the solo artist in their album may require a different approach. Overall, the document examines design elements to inform the creation of an advertisement for their own album.
An electronic switch sensor with a point to-point intrusive monitoring systemZac Darcy
Sophistications in theft and other criminal damages necessitates for the symbiotic blending of technology with security needs. In this research, electronic switches in the form of sensors were used to implement a point-to point intrusive monitoring system for the detection of an unauthorized access to commercial and residential buildings. The system is a simple and reliable security system and uses switch sensor technology to revolutionize the standards of living. The system is also simple, adaptable and cost-effective. It is designed in six major units which include; the power supply, the input/sensor micro-switches, the monitoring and indicator, the timing, the tone generation and output units. To ensure steady power supply in the circuit, the power unit constitutes both the mains and DC supplies. The alarm unit are being activated by the normally closed sensor micro-switches unit which is connected in an electronic/door mat at both the entrance and exit of buildings. In order to facilitate easy location of the intruder, the exact point of intrusion is being determined by the monitoring and indicator unit which constitutes the quad R/S flip-flop IC and LED’s. The timing/tone generation unit is built on the 555 timer IC, in the Astable mode, which output keeps changing as far as there is a breakage of the sensors. The output of the system is mainly the LEDs and buzzer, which gives electrical light and audio signal to notify the owner of an intruder in the building. Major design issues considered include; efficiency, portability, cost-effectiveness, durability, compatibility as well as the availability of required materials. This system works on the principle of the micro-switch sensor and dependent on the condition that an intruder entered through the door and stepped in any one of the switches under the mat. Verification and validation of the system indicate compliances to design specification hence the output requirements were met.

Towards to an agent oriented modeling and evaluating approach for vehicular s...Zac Darcy
Agent technology is a software paradigm that permits to implement large and complex distributed
applications. In order to assist the development of multi-agent systems, agent-oriented methodologies
(AOM) have been created in the last years to support modeling more and more complex applications in
many different domains. By defining in a non-ambiguous way concepts used in a specific domain, Meta
modeling may represent a step towards such interoperability. In the Transport domain, this paper propose
an agent-oriented meta-model that provides rigorous concepts for conducting transportation system
problem modeling. The aim is to allow analysts to produce a transportation system model that precisely
captures the knowledge of an organization so that an agent-oriented requirements specification of the
system-to-be and its operational corporate environment can be derived from it. To this end, we extend and
adapt an existing meta-model, Extended Gaia, to build a meta-model and an adequate model for
transportation problems. Our new agent-oriented meta-model aims to allow the analyst to model and
specify any transportation system as a multi-agent system. Based on the proposed meta-model, we proposes
an approach for modeling and evaluating the Transportation System based on Stochastic Activity Network
(SAN) components. The proposed process is based on seven steps from “Recognition” phase to
“Quantitative Analysis” phase. These analyzes are based on the Dependability models which are built
using the formalism Stochastic Activity Network. A real case study of Urban Public Transportation System
has been conducted to show the benefits of the approach.

Demand is determined by consumers' plans to purchase a good based on price, income, preferences and other factors. The quantity demanded refers to the amount consumers will buy at a given price when other influences are held constant. The law of demand states that, ceteris paribus, quantity demanded varies inversely with price - as price increases, quantity demanded decreases, and vice versa. A change in demand occurs when a determinant other than price changes, shifting the demand curve, whereas a change in quantity demanded results from a price change along a given demand curve.
According to the teachings of different religions, our life on earth is only a primary testing period. We are not supposed to relax and enjoy ourselves during the test, we should not expect that the test questions are clearly known in advance, we should expect difficulties during the test, and we will be rewarded according to our faith, our obedience, our compassion, and our good deeds
If we review the teachings of Judaism like Exodus 20:20, Deuteronomy 8:2, Deuteronomy 13:3, we find that God tests people to know who obeys and who does not obey
Exodus 16:4 teaches I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not
In Exodus 20:20, Moses taught that God tests you so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning
The same teaching is also found in Deuteronomy 13:3
God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul
In Deuteronomy 8:2-3, Moses taught that God tests people in order to know what is in their heart, whether or not they would keep his commands.
Deuteronomy 4:30 teaches that in tribulations, people would return to God and obey his voice
The same teachings are confirmed many times in the holy book
Job 23:10 teaches when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold
Job 5:7 teaches that we are here for testing
People are born for trouble as surely as sparks fly upward
Job 5:17 teaches blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of God
PSALM 11:4-5 teaches He watches everyone closely; examining every person on earth. God examines both the righteous and the wicked
Psalm 66:10 teaches For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined
PROVERBS 17:3 teaches The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but God tests the hearts
ISAIAH 48:10 teaches I have refined you, but not as silver is refined.
Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering
Jeremiah 17:10 teaches that God tests us and will reward everyone according to his works
Jesus taught that life is a test; he taught that we are in a temporary testing period and we are being prepared for a permanent life. He also taught that the rewards will be according to our obedience and our good works
Talking in parables, Jesus taught that God tests us by tribulation, temptation, trials, persecutions and promised rewards in heaven for those who pass those tests
Jesus has taught people to stand up for the truth even if persecuted by the bad multitudes who hate the truth. He taught that and also demonstrated it when he stood up for the truth against the bad chief priests who explained religion to their benefits
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven - Matthew 5:10
God has set the world stage for testing; every day we meet hungry and poor people; some will help and some will refuse to help; those would not be rewarded similarly

Application of a merit function based interior point method to linear model p...Zac Darcy
This paper present
s
robust linear model predictive control (MPC) technique for small scale linear MPC
problems. The quadratic programming (QP) problem arising in linear MPC is solved using primal dual
interior point method
.
We present
a me
rit function based on a path following strategy
to calculate the step
length
α
, which
forces the convergence of feasible iterates
. The algorithm globally converges to the optimal
solution
of the QP p
roblem while strictly following
the
inequality
constraint
s.
The linear system in the QP
problem is solved using LDL
T
factorizatio
n based linear solver which reduces the computational cost of
linear system to a certain extent
.
We implement this method for
a
linear MPC problem of undamped
oscillator. With the help
of a Kalman filter observer, we show that the MPC design is robust to the external
disturbances and integrated white noise.
