In an always-connected world, managing social inattention – that is, explaining the inability to interact at a particular time – can be as important as coordinating mutual availability. Inattention, particularly if repeated, can have significant relational consequences as it may be considered rude and can lead to painful social outcomes. Prior research has examined the butler lie, one strategy ...

In this paper, a novel ultra-wideband switched-beam antenna system based on 4×4 two-layer Butler matrix is presented and implemented to be used in hostile environment, such as underground mines. This matrix is based on the combination of a broadband twolayer slot-coupled directional coupler and a multilayer slot-coupled microstrip transition. With this configuration, the proposed matrix was des...

In this paper, a generic solution is presented for capturing, representing and employing the context of use in dialogue processing. The implementation of the solution within the framework of the SesaME dialogue manager and the Butler demonstrator is also described.

Se trata de uma resenha analítica do livro Problemas Gênero, da filósofa e ativista feminista Judith Butler, publicado em língua portuguesa 2016.

The Butler-Portugal algorithm for obtaining the canonical form of a tensor expression with respect to slot symmetries and dummy-index renaming suffers, in certain cases with a high degree of symmetry, from O(n!) explosion in both computation time and memory. We present a modified algorithm which alleviates this problem in the most common cases—tensor expressions with subsets of indices which ar...
