European project of designing new corporeality: mutant body, body without organs, agender body

The object of this research is the introduced into postmodernist discourse concept of body without organs. This article advances a hypothesis regarding the causes of occurrence of the aforementioned concept replacing the Cartesian teaching on parallelism of body and soul. Cultural practices of postmodernism fight against thinking of binary oppositions, which led to repression of the corporeal beginning. On the examples from the field of art and fashion, it is demonstrated that the theoretical model of body without organs finds its practical implementation. In this research the author applies analytical, hermeneutic and comparative methods with regards to the outlined ideas from the area of philosophy and art. The scientific novelty consists in interpretation of art phenomena through the concept of body without organs. The concept of the Theatre of Cruelty developed by Antonin Artaud inspired the philosophers and art community to pursue the experience of a &amp;ldquo;living body&amp;rdquo;. Cunningham carried over the principle of coincidence from music to dance, undermining the traditional perception of body as a hierarchical system with organs subordinate to the center. In a commercial sphere, Gucci Luxury Fashion House created a visual reflection of the idea of agender. Abreaction practices in performance art are aimed at liberation of body from imagery. Postmodernists are sure that freedom from dyadic thinking, idea of the center and periphery, principles of hierarchy and teleologicity that are so common to any mind, would lead to regeneration of corporeality and human as such, realizing the true value of the European culture &amp;ndash; value of freedom.
Analysis of classification hydrologic soil group distribution based on infiltration rate of horton method in the upper Ciliwung watershed

Abstract Runoff coefficient or Curve Number (CN) is a parameter value needed to describe runoff in accordance with the intended land use. In determining CN values, it is necessary to take account the Hydrologic Soil Group. The Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) consists of 4 groups, which are: A, B, C, and D. In order to classify the appropriate HSG, several methods can be used, namely: soil properties, soil maps, or minimum infiltration rates. In this research, an HSG classification distribution analysis will be carried out based on the infiltration rate obtained from actual conditions found during observation in the research site. This research was conducted in 13 locations, situated in the Upper Ciliwung watershed. The division of 13 locations is based on the distribution map of the HSG according to the Geological Information Agency and also the map of the distribution of Upper Ciliwung sub-bases. In its classification, each HSG has a different infiltration rate value. In this study, an analysis of the distribution of HSG classification based on the infiltration rate was obtained from direct observation on the research site. The study was conducted using a double-ring infiltrometer. The data obtained from the study were then processed using parameter estimation and the Horton Method to obtain the Horton infiltration rate. When the infiltration rate value is known, the corresponding HSG can then be determined for the soil at that particular location. With Inverse Distance Weighted in ArcMap, a map of the spread of infiltration rate and classification of HSG will be obtained in the Upper Ciliwung watershed. The infiltration rate obtained in the Upper Ciliwung watershed ranges from 0.15-12.6 cm/hour. The distribution of HSG is also found in the Upper Ciliwung watershed, consisting of groups A, B, and C.
Mammographic image segmentation with modified FCM based clustering algorithm

As medical image segmentation is the present day challenge and a demand for researchers, several attempts have been made in this field. Fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM) is an algorithm that is affected by noise, thus objective-function is generally initiated with local-spatial information to enhance the robustness. But it’s implementation often results in rise in time complexity, caused by a repetitive computation of the distance separating pixels of local-spatial neighbours and clustering-centres. In order to solve this problem, a Modified FCM (MFCM) method is proposed in this p aper. I nitially, Image e nhancement is performed using Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) then, the local-spatial data of images is subsumed into the MFCM algorithm with introduction of morphological-reconstruction operation (morphological opening operation) to assure detail preservation and noise immunity of images. Thirdly, alteration of membership partition build on the distance between pixels enclosing local-spatial neighbours and centres of clusters is exchanged with local membership filtering. Algorithm is quite efficient as median-membership filtering is capable of improvising partition matrix s ystematically. Hence, we propose that the explained algorithm achieves better results in less time.

Weather Pong : Designing Data Art Content by Borrowing the Form of a Game

This study focuses on the design of data art content using various data generated by the interactions among nature, humans, and artifacts, which empathizes with the current eco-environmental crisis and contemplates anthropocentrism. Sympathetic to the research topic of translife(extended life), the author specified research keywords and conceptualized this research. Through this conceptualization, the author hypothesized that interactive art content borrowing the Pong game format and using various real-time data could be appropriate as a form of participant experience(PX) to represent translife, proposing a prototype entitled Weather Pong. A virtual weather environment of the content was devised by creating emotion, weather, and environment bubbles made from the weather and environment data of Auckland and Seoul, along with human emotion data about weather mined by artificial intelligence. Participants had opportunities to reflect on the existence of humans and on the meaning of our lives, affecting the life of the tree in the center of the screen by popping bubbles by controlling the paddle and the ball. As a research methodology here, the author used design thinking. Based on this method, the author designed a PX consisting of familiarization and defamiliarization and implemented a stable interactive system through a co-design strategy using audio-visual mapping. Afterwards, the author exhibited Weather Pong at five exhibitions, including Translife: The International Triennial of New Media Art, thus confirming the significance of this study through evaluations of the PX. This study did not greatly succeed in providing an intuitive PX because there were differences between participant evaluations and expert evaluations. However, it is important to note that art has been shown to be an activist instrument that criticizes our society and demands its change by providing a fresh PX through the borrowing of game formats and by providing an alternative approach to data.

Items Analysis of The Achievement Tests in EFL Classrooms

This study focused on three kinds of item analysis towards the test items of the achievement tests. The validity and reliability were also provided as supporting functions. This study used quantitative data for the data source and some qualitative explanation to elaborate on the data. To gain the data analysis, the test papers and students answers sheets were collected from three achievement tests of SHS X, SHS Y, and SHS Z. Also, the first-grade students of those schools were as the sample of this study. The study revealed (1) the mean of item facility of three achievement tests categorized as medium test items (SHS X= 0,69; SHS Y= 0,55; and SHS Z= 0,44), while the mean of item discrimination of SHS X examined as good items (0,326) and the mean of item discrimination of SHS Y, SHS Z analyzed as satisfactory items (SHS Y= 0,245; and SHS Z= 0,244). Moreover, half of the distractor efficiency of those tests were accepted. Also, the validity and reliability of the achievement tests were found. Thus, it can be summarized that the achievement tests need to be improved since there are some items have high item facility and low item discrimination.
Hybrid Domain Feature-Based Image Super-resolution Using Fusion of APVT and DWT

Digital image-processing technique is used in image super-resolution for a variety of applications. In this paper, we propose hybrid domain feature-based image super-resolution using a fusion of Average Pixel Values Technique (APVT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The low-resolution (LR) images are considered and converted into high-resolution (HR) images using a novel technique of APTV by inserting an average of rows between rows and average of columns between columns to get HR images. The DWT is applied on HR images to obtain four bands. The HR images are downsampled, and to enhance image quality, histogram equalization (HE) is utilized. The LL band and HE matrix are added to obtain new LL band. The inverse DWT is applied on four bands to derive SR image. It is observed that the performance of the proposed method is better than existing methods.

Connection between climate and tectonics: implication to Kolhan basin evolution in the Proterozoic

A simple logical model for the development and evolution of the Kolhan Basin is proposed. The first event consists of a rapid stretching of the continental lithosphere, which produced thinning and passive upwelling of hot asthenosphere. This stage is connected with block faulting and subsidence. This is synchronous to the existence of the Columbia supercontinent. There was no glaciation during the existence of Columbia. This indicates moderate weathering rate during which the Kolhan Basin formed. This simplistic logical conclusion is supported by the predominance of quartz arenite in the sandstone of the basin . The paucity of feldspars in the thin sections supports the above findings. The main shallow elongated basin of the Kolhan Formation extends from Chaibasa (85Â° 48â€™, 22Â° 33â€™) to Noamundi (85Â°28â€™, 22Â° 09â€™) covering about 34 miles in length and maximum 10 miles in width along the western extremity of the Singhbhum Granite. The occurrence of detached outliers of the Kolhan rocks east of the unconformity on Singhbhum Granite and north of Chiabasa  suggests the wide extent of the Kolhan basin in the past. The petrography and geochemistry of the basin concludes an intracratonic rift tectonic setting in Proterozoic time. This indicate a granitoid source with moderate chemical weathering. High Al2O3/SiO2 and K2O/Na2O ratios reflect a derivation of all the sediments from stable cratons during tectonic quiescences. These alumina ratio indicates that the clastics were deposited in a passive margin or cratonic margin. The existence of Columbia supercontinent during the life of Kolhan Basin indicates no glaciation during that time. This scenario is well supported by findings of petrography and geochemistry of the basin.

On-line Estimators for Ad-hoc Task Allocation:Extended Abstract

It is essential for agents to work together with others to accomplish common missions without previous knowledge of the team-mates, a challenge known as ad-hoc teamwork. In these systems, an agent estimates the algorithm and parameters of others in an on-line manner, in order to decide its own actions for effective teamwork. Meanwhile, agents often must coordinate in a decentralised fashion to complete tasks that are displaced in an environment (e.g., in foraging, demining, rescue or fire control), where each member autonomously chooses which task to perform. By harnessing this knowledge, better estimation techniques would lead to better performance. Hence, we present On-line Estimators for Ad-hoc Task Allocation, a novel algorithm for team-mates' type and parameter estimation in decentralised task allocation. We ran experiments in the level-based foraging domain, where we obtain lower error in parameter and type estimation than previous approaches, and a significantly better performance in finishing all tasks.

Projection between Exhibition and Information

Among the many reconfigurations and experiments with the ‘medium of the exhibition’ of the 1960–1970s, <italic>Sonsbeek 71</italic> stands as one the most audacious examples. Organized by curator Wim Beeren as an attempt to find a new curatorial language and innovative exhibition form, <italic>Sonsbeek 71</italic> took ‘the entire country as its field of operation’, the ‘exhibition’ consisting of several works of land art, ‘information centres’, as well as pavilions dedicated to film, video, and art mediation. The ‘spatial relations’ exposed by the scale of this apparatus became the very object of Beeren’s curatorial inquiry. Focusing on projected moving images at <italic>Sonsbeek 71</italic>, this chapter discusses it on three different levels. First, it identifies the way both the film and exhibition apparatus were reconfigured and how <italic>Sonsbeek 71</italic> functioned as an <italic>epistemology</italic> of the exhibition as medium. Second, it articulates a critique of the exhibition as a form intersecting technical, discursive, informational, and sensible elements, and shows how, in its radical expansion of the exhibition medium, <italic>Sonsbeek 71</italic> ‘conflates media history with earth history’ (Parikka). Third, what is meant by the notion of the exhibition as ‘medium’ is discussed in light of the inflatable pavilions designed by the Eventstructure Research Group where structural films and artists’ films were projected. This eventually opens up to a critique of the informational, cybernetic epistemology of <italic>Sonsbeek 71</italic>.
Camera model and parameter calibration

Abstract Each camera has its own model and parameters. Accurate calibration of the camera’s model parameters can effectively prevent distortion effects and ensure image imaging. In this paper, the three-dimensional space points of the camera model are linked with the two-dimensional image points, and the in-plane distortion parameters of the camera are obtained by using the checkerboard calibration method, thereby distorting the image and restoring the image imaging effect.

A Numerical Transform of Random Forest Regressors corrects Systematically-Biased Predictions.

Over the past decade, random forest models have become widely used as a robust method for high-dimensional data regression tasks. In part, the popularity of these models arises from the fact that they require little hyperparameter tuning and are not very susceptible to overfitting. Random forest regression models are comprised of an ensemble of decision trees that independently predict the value of a (continuous) dependent variable; predictions from each of the trees are ultimately averaged to yield an overall predicted value from the forest. Using a suite of representative real-world datasets, we find a systematic bias in predictions from random forest models. We find that this bias is recapitulated in simple synthetic datasets, regardless of whether or not they include irreducible error (noise) in the data, but that models employing boosting do not exhibit this bias. Here we demonstrate the basis for this problem, and we use the training data to define a numerical transformation that fully corrects it. Application of this transformation yields improved predictions in every one of the real-world and synthetic datasets evaluated in our study.
Differential Embedding and Chirikov Map based Image Watermarking in Transformed Domain

With the increasing growth of technology, image security is hampering day to day. Now a watermarking technique which ensures security with less computational effort is the best solution. In this paper differential embedding and chirkov map based image watermarking in transformed domain is proposed. Here, Chirikov map is employed for scrambling the watermark providing security to the method. 2nd level DWT is applied to the host image and the middle band coefficients are chosen to maintain balance between imperceptibility and robustness. These coefficients are DCT transformed for energy compaction and zigzag scanning is performed to cluster the highly correlated coefficients. The concept of differential signaling is used to embed the watermark into the highly correlated coefficients of the host image. The use of different strength factor as secret key and control parameters in Chirikov map will ensure security. At the end section, NCC, MSE and PSNR is calculated as performance parameter to evaluate this method and comparison with the existing method is also discussed and our proposed method shows robustness and imperceptibility against a numbers of image processing attacks.
