The document discusses an asset-based community development (ABCD) approach used in Delfshaven, Netherlands. Some key points:
- Over 56% of housing is owned by a single organization, impacting development initiatives. ABCD focuses on underutilized physical and social assets instead of deficiencies.
- Social assets include talents and skills of residents that can contribute to community if supported. ABCD listens to residents and documents all qualities, not just obvious ones.
- ABCD supports small, resident-led projects like computer centers, theaters, bike repair shops, and shelters that contribute to the community and build residents' confidence. The approach is creative, modest, and supports what residents can achieve themselves.
This document presents a methodology for modeling and controlling nonlinear dynamical systems with nonsmooth elements like sign functions. It proposes approximating the sign function to obtain a smooth model that can be optimally linearized. A digital controller design approach is introduced to compensate for input delays, with prediction-based redesign allowing prolonged control periods and reduced control signals. Examples applying these methods to a DC motor model are provided. Future work is suggested to select appropriate linear control designs, verify controllers in simulations and experiments, and extend the delay compensation approach to nonsmooth systems.
1. The document describes a multivariable PID controller developed for the lateral motion of aircraft using a CESSNA-182 aircraft model.
2. Simulations of P, PI, PD, and PID controllers were performed and results showed the PID controller provided the fastest response time with no steady state error.
3. The PID controller balances proportional, integral, and derivative terms to provide improved stability over other controller types for the lateral aircraft dynamics.
1) The document discusses using an autocorrelation function (ACF) filter on burst image sequences to reduce noise in CMOS image sensors and achieve high quality imaging.
2) It explains that the ACF calculates correlation values based on pixel values sampled over time to distinguish random noise from true signals. Noise pixels will have lower ACF values while true signals have higher values near 1.
3) The algorithm judges each pixel, applying a leveling filter only to pixels below thresholds for value and ACF. This reduces random noise without impacting bright pixels and resolution. Results show noise reduction while maintaining detail.

This one sentence document appears to be advertising or promoting a jewellery brand called "white orange jewels". It provides the name of the brand but no other details about the types of jewellery offered, designs, materials, or other relevant information. The brief statement gives only the high-level brand name with no further context.
The document proposes an ontology-based approach for satellite image retrieval that involves three main modules: 1) region extraction from satellite images and ontological modeling to describe sensors, scenes, and spatial relations; 2) merging of incomplete ontological models using a probabilistic method to manage uncertainty; and 3) a semantic retrieval strategy based on similarity measures between merged ontological models and image descriptions to retrieve similar images. The approach aims to improve retrieval quality, describe image semantic content, manage uncertainty, and provide an automatic solution for efficient satellite image retrieval.
This document discusses deduplication, including what it is, different types of deduplication, where it occurs in the data storage process, advantages and disadvantages, expected storage reductions, and results from an experimental home deduplication. It defines deduplication as eliminating duplicate data and notes that while the basic premise is the same between vendors, implementations can vary. The document also provides examples of storage reductions seen in case studies and an experiment showing significant space savings from deduplicating personal files and software downloads.
O documento descreve a ascensão dos sofistas na Grécia antiga e seu papel na transformação do pensamento filosófico e político. Os sofistas ensinavam retórica e habilidades de debate para preparar os cidadãos para a nova democracia ateniense. Eles questionaram ideias religiosas e filosóficas tradicionais e enfatizaram o poder da linguagem e da persuasão.
A dog found a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat. While crossing a bridge over a brook, he saw his reflection in the water and mistook it for another dog with a larger piece of meat. When he barked threateningly at the other dog to get the larger piece, the meat fell out of his mouth and into the water below, and he lost both pieces of meat. The story illustrates that if you grasp at shadows, you will lose what is real or substantial.

This document discusses the importance of strategic foresight and developing a "futures culture" within organizations. It emphasizes that the ability to learn, unlearn and relearn is critical in today's changing environment. While many organizations treat foresight as just another project, it is best integrated as an operating philosophy. Developing a futures culture allows organizations to better innovate, seize opportunities and generate valuable intelligence about future trends. The document also introduces the concept of "Generation Cohorts", where individuals are increasingly aligning based on shared passions rather than traditional generational labels.
