As a manifesto against the particularly slow cogs of financing cultural buildings, Guillermo Hevia and Catalina Poblete propose an architecture change driven by devices: minimal interventions that maximize programmatic possibilities building. In this case, building is former warehouse in popular neighborhood Renca, program includes storage display private art collection, along with spaces for i...

different methods arising from scientific investigation for removing noise from chaotic signals have been introduced and one of their best is local projection approach. the local projection approach projects the chaotic data in the neighborhood onto the hyper-plane. selection of neighborhood radius has a direct impact on its performance. a noticeable feature associated with chaotic trajectories...

We analyze the dynamics of a two-dimensional cellular automaton, 2D Minority, for the Moore neighborhood (eight neighbors per cell) under fully asynchronous dynamics (where only one random cell updates at each time step). Even if 2D Minority seems a simple rule, from the experience of Ising models and Hopfield nets, it is known that models with negative feedback are hard to study. This automato...
