As discussões sobre definições de política industrial sempre estiveram presentes nos estudos econômicos e focam principalmente no modo tamanho da intervenção do Estado neste processo. No Brasil, o caso não é diferente e, apesar políticas industriais estarem na economia brasileira desde a década 1930, os esforços são contínuos. Porém, partir dos anos 2000, houve três brasileiros para criação que...

This introductory article to the Journal of Memory and Language special issue on memory models discusses the progress made in the field of memory modeling during the last few decades in terms of a number of previously suggested criteria, using the articles in this issue as examples. There has been considerable progress, both at a technical level (e.g., concerning model comparison and model anal...

Those of us who study human cognition have no easy task. We try to understand how people functionally represent and processes information in performing cognitive activities such as vision, perception, memory, language, and decision making. Fortunately, experimental psychology has a rich theoretical tradition, and there is no shortage of insightful theoretical proposals. Also, it has a rich expe...

As many tools have been created to support linked data consumption and publishing, there is a demand for quality assessment and to verify these data. To make this possible, data about this consumption should be recorded. This paper presents an extension to a framework with the goal to support the recording and publishing of the information about the creation and consumption of linked data, in o...

In this paper, we address the problem of scrambling regions of interest in a video sequence. We target applications such as video surveillance preserving privacy, anonymous video communications, or TV news safeguarding the anonymity of a source. We propose an efficient solution based on transform-domain scrambling. More specifically, the sign of selected transform coefficients is flipped during...

Prior studies have shown that the IT innovation capability, a company's ability to innovate systematically with IT, is not easily replicated (persistent), and the persistence tends to be more pronounced during periods when economy-wide IT budgets are declining (hard IT budgets), such the post-Y2K period. Building on resource based view we argue that companies that systematically innovate with I...

This publication proposes a strategy to enhance the compression performance of Motion-JPEG2000 by the reduction of interframe redundancies. This is achieved by a new frame structure allowing to remove redundancies and to reconstruct the original stream without loss. The introduced advancement is able to increase the compression e ciency and keeps other bene cial property of the traditional code...
