Tradición e innovaciones en la comentarística medieval y del Renacimiento

[ES] Cada vez son más habituales las voces que intentan amortiguar las estridencias contrastivas entre Edad Media y Renacimiento, sobre todo cuando en lo menudo de una actividad tan elemental como la gramatical del comentario de textos la estabilidad de las contundentes antítesis resulta difícil asegurarla. Apoyándose en textos representativos del pensamiento tanto teórico como práctico al respecto de la declaración de autores, el autor del presente artículo prefiere alinearse con los que de un tiempo a esta parte intentan conciliar matizadamente las divergencias -alegorización/historicidad; historicidad/clasicidad- aun dentro del mismo período renacentista. Sin desatender la enorme lección de los humanistas sobre lo que debe ser una cabal filología, concebida no como conocimiento autosuficiente, sino como ámbito privilegiado desde donde confluir con infinidad de otros, a mayores el de la vida.

Os cavaleiros imaginários de Terry Gilliam: uma análise da transição da figura do cavaleiro medieval da literatura para o cinema

As narrativas em torno da busca do Graal tiveram origem no século XI e foram de grande importância para fixar a imagem de um personagem típico da sociedade medieval, o cavaleiro, como um novo modelo heroico. Nesse sentido, os cavaleiros que encontraram o Graal nessas narrativas, especialmente no ciclo literário conhecido como Matéria da Bretanha, representam a configuração máxima desse paradigma. Esta pesquisa visa analisar a permanência de tal imagem no cinema, que é igualmente uma arte narrativa, como o eram as novelas de cavalaria que originaram o modelo. O corpus a ser analisado são três significativas obras do cineasta norte-americano Terry Gilliam que direta ou indiretamente retomam a questão do Graal: Monty Python em busca do Cálice sagrado (Monty Phyton and The Holy Grail, 1974), O pescador de ilusões (The Fisher King, 1991) e Os doze macacos (Twelve Monkeys, 1995). Assim, procura-se com esta tese traçar um panorama das retomadas da imagem literária e medieval dos cavaleiros no cinema, assim como observar as mudanças no padrão dessas imagens descritas literariamente para sua representação óptico-sonora

Nonautonomous elementary net systems and their application to programmable logic control

In this paper, a novel approach to Petri net modeling of programmable logic controller (PLC) programs is presented. The modeling approach is a simple extension of elementary net systems, and a graphical design tool that supports the use of this modeling approach is provided. A key characteristic of the model is that the binary sensory inputs and binary actuation outputs of the PLC are explicitly represented. This leads to the following two improvements: outputs are unambiguous, and interaction patterns are more clearly represented in the graphical form. The use of this modeling approach produces programs that are simple, lightweight, and portable. The approach is demonstrated by applying it to the development of a control module for a MonTech Positioning Station. © 2008 IEEE.

NEMS based logic and memory circuits

Carbon nanotube (CNT) based nano electromechanical system (NEMS) were developed to apply to the logic and the memory circuit. The electrical 'on-off' behavior induced by the mechanical movements of CNTs can promise low power consumption in circuit with very low level leakage current. Additionally, the unique vertical structure of nanotubes allows high integration density for devices. © 2012 IEEE.

Compact Reconfigurable Binary-Decision-Diagram Logic Circuit on a GaAs Nanowire Network

We describe a reconfigurable binary-decision-diagram logic circuit based on Shannon's expansion of Boolean logic function and its graphical representation on a semiconductor nanowire network. The circuit is reconfigured by using programmable switches that electrically connect and disconnect a small number of branches. This circuit has a compact structure with a small number of devices compared with the conventional look-up table architecture. A variable Boolean logic circuit was fabricated on an etched GaAs nanowire network having hexagonal topology with Schottky wrap gates and SiN-based programmable switches, and its correct logic operation together with dynamic reconfiguration was demonstrated.

Smart universal multiple-valued logic gates by transferring single electrons

This paper proposes smart universal multiple-valued (MV) logic gates by transferring single electrons (SEs). The logic gates are based on MOSFET based SE turnstiles that can accurately transfer SEs with high speed at high temperature. The number of electrons transferred per cycle by the SE turnstile is a quantized function of its gate voltage, and this characteristic is fully exploited to compactly finish MV logic operations. First, we build arbitrary MV literal gates by using pairs of SE turnstiles. Then, we propose universal MV logic-to-value conversion gates and MV analog-digital conversion circuits. We propose a SPICE model to describe the behavior of the MOSFET based SE turnstile. We simulate the performances of the proposed gates. The MV logic gates have small number of transistors and low power dissipations.
