This article aims to establish that the legal parameters to identify indigenous peoples in Peru limit the application of the self-identification principle. In order to achieve this objective, the international standards on human rights that enshrine the self-identification as a fundamental criterion are examined. Then, the background of the constitutional and legal terminology to refer to indigenous peoples in Peru is also explained in order to ...

Why do some people participating in transnational protest events identify with their foreign counterparts while others participating in the same events do not? We find that participants in a series of May Day and climate change events are aware that the events are part of a broader struggle, and many in fact identifiy with their overseas counterparts. However, there are differences between demonstrations. Some are populated with people who ...

Anhand von bereits in einem ersten Beitrag beschriebenen Laborversuchen wurden verschiedene Methoden zur Systemidentifikation in ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit hinsichtlich der Bestimmung von Steifigkeitsverteilungen untersucht. Um darüber hinaus dem Anspruch des Projekts AIFIT anwenderorientierte Identifikationsverfahren bereit zu stellen, gerecht zu werden, gilt es nun, den realistischen Einsatz dieser Verfahren näher zu untersuchen. Zu diesem Zweck ...

Sinds hun introductie in $1957$ worden verborgen Markov modelen veelvuldig gebruikt in ingenieurstoepassingen (spraakherkenning, biologie). Ondanks de vele toepassingen blijven tot nu toe nog een heel aantal theoretische vragen omtrent verborgen Markov modellen open. Bijdragen aan deze theoretische problemen vormt de eerste doelstelling van deze thesis. Bij het oplossen van problemen omtrent verborgen Markov modellen kan inspiratie gezocht ...

Speech signals carry important information about a speaker such as age, gender, language, accent and emotional/psychological state. Automatic recognition of speaker characteristics has a wide range of commercial, medical and forensic applications such as interactive voice response systems, service customization, natural human-machine interaction, recognizing the type of pathology of speakers, and directing the forensic investigation process. ...

In the processing of integrated circuits, the source and drain of a p-type and n-type complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (CMOS) are defined by implantation of donor and acceptor ions respectively. During the ion implantation, a photoresist (PR) is used as a masking material. The removal of high dose (≥ 1E15 at/cm2) and low energy ion implanted photoresist (II-PR) after implantation of ultra shallow extension and halo ...

Industrial robots are widely used as flexible, re-programmable positioning devices in manufacturing plants, and allow to save costs, increase productivity and raise quality. However, they still present capital intensive investments. Therefore, increasing their autonomy and efficiency are topics of ongoing research. With the increasing availability of cheap computation power and low-cost sensors, considerable gains in efficiency and autonomy can ...

In this work the possibility to reverse engineer the transverse isotropic carbon fibre properties from the 3D
homogenized elastic tensor of the UD ply for the prediction of woven ply properties is explored. Ultrasonic
insonification is used to measure the propagation velocity of both the longitudinally and transversally polarized
bulk waves at various symmetry planes of a unidirectional (UD) Carbon/Epoxy laminate. These velocities ...
