The present study aimed to investigate gender differences in the emotional evaluation of 18 film clips divided into six categories: Erotic, Scenery, Neutral, Sadness, Compassion, and Fear. 41 female and 40 male students rated all clips for valence-pleasantness, arousal, level of elicited distress, anxiety, jittery feelings, excitation, and embarrassment. Analysis of positive films revealed high...

A linguagem peculiar e a pluralidade de visões distintas exigem conhecimento e experiência do engenheiro de requisitos para o sucesso da atividade de extração de requisitos em domínios específicos. Neste trabalho, são apresentadas as ferramentas i*Get e TEKBS, que utilizam técnicas de inteligência artificial para auxiliarem o engenheiro de requisitos na extração de metas concretas e flexíveis, ...

-In this paper, a rule-based framework for formal hardware verification is presented. The PROVER system (PROduction system for hardware VERification) is implemented using CLIPS (C Language Integrated Production System). The environment supports verification at different levels of hardware specification. The rule-based framework has been tested on the design of high speed adders.

This paper presents a software skeleton system for experiments in integration and control of real time active vision systems. This skeleton has been constructed by a consortium of six laboratories as part of a long term basic research investigation of issues of integration and control of real time vision. The first chapter describes the problems of integration and control and the context for th...

Acrylate polymers are derivatives of acrylic acid, but contain a plethora different functional groups and best discussed by themselves. In this column, we study the spectrum an important polymer, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), which is otherwise known as plexiglass, found in windows, car parts, paint. We then spectra PMMA mixtures copolymers detail.

To study the variation in emotional responses to stimuli, different methods have been developed to elicit emotions in a replicable way. Using video clips has been shown to be the most effective stimuli. However, the differences in cultural backgrounds lead to different emotional responses to the same stimuli. Therefore, we compared the emotional response to a commonly used emotion eliciting vid...

sudden fracture is one of the major failure modes in brittle materials. plexiglass (polymethyl methacrylate) is a well known brittle polymer, widely used in various industries. many types of notches, particularly v-shaped notches, are sometimes used in the components made of plexiglass. these notches can dramatically decrease the load bearing capacity of components due to the concentration of s...
