Empowering girls as change makers in maker culture : stories from a summer camp for girls in design, media & technology
Creators: name: MacDowell, Paula
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This dissertation investigates how girls develop new affinities towards and capabilities in media and technology. Thirty co-researchers, girls aged 10 to 13, were recruited into 101 Technology Fun, a series of summer camps with learning labs in animation, game design, movie production, robotics programming, and web development. The design studio setting, created by the How We Learn (Media & Technology Across the Lifespan) collective, offered girls their own makerspace to explore new roles as media and technology producers. Highlighting the importance for youth voices to be recognized and given influence in the academic research concerning their lives and learning circumstances, the findings focus on the catalytic or generative artifacts and “little stories” (e.g., Lyotard’s petits récits) revealing the co-researchers’ experiences and expressions of girlhood-in-interaction-with-technology (the key unit of analysis). Artifacts are addressed as they relate to stories made or analyzed by the girls, including their concerns, needs, talents, inspiration, literacy, and volition. The artifacts, such as music videos, robotic amusement park, and the momME alternate reality game, are catalytic for storymaking and, symmetrically, the stories are catalytic to artifact production and sharing. Four distinct yet interrelated elements characterize the co-researchers’ fieldwork and designworks: (1) agency (girls having influence and power); (2) ingenuity (girls being clever and inventive); (3) self-interpretation (girls making sense and significance); and (4) self-efficacy (girls believing in or judging their technological capabilities). Findings underscore the matter concerning how, why, and where do girls learn to become innovators, leaders, and producers of media and technology (thereby overturning traditional gender and generational stereotypes)? Indeed, how a group of female youth story changes in their sense of technological self-efficacy, self-interpretation, ingenuity, and agency is one of the most important contributions of this study. Another contribution involves the formation of the Tween Empowerment & Advocacy Methodology (TEAM), a design-based and participatory research approach that emphasizes relational ethics through artifact production, storymaking, mind scripting, invention, and imagination. Questions, both guiding and emergent, are articulated in artifact and text to motivate further scholarly inquiry, action, and advocacy, thus generating more opportunities for girls to participate in, design, make, and transform technology culture.
About the fastest growth of Order Parameter in Models of Percolation

description: Can there be a `Litmus test' for determining the nature of transition in models of percolation? In this paper we argue that the answer is in the affirmative. All one needs to do is to measure the `growth exponent' $χ$ of the largest component at the percolation threshold; $χ< 1$ or $χ= 1$ determines if the transition is continuous or discontinuous. We show that a related exponent $η= 1 - χ$ which describes how the average maximal jump sizes in the Order Parameter decays on increasing the system size, is the single exponent that describes the finite-size scaling of a number of distributions related to the fastest growth of the Order Parameter in these problems. Excellent quality scaling analysis are presented for the two single peak distributions corresponding to the Order Parameters at the two ends of the maximal jump, the bimodal distribution constructed by interpolation of these distributions and for the distribution of the maximal jump in the Order Parameter.

description: The final open part of Strauss' conjecture on semilinear wave equations was the blow-up theorem for the critical case in high dimensions. This problem was solved by Yordanov and Zhang in 2006, or Zhou in 2007 independently. But the estimate for the lifespan, the maximal existence time, of solutions was not clarified in both papers. In this paper, we refine their theorems and introduce a new iteration argument to get the sharp upper bound of the lifespan. As a result, with the sharp lower bound by Li and Zhou in 1995, the lifespan $T(\e)$ of solutions of $u_{tt}-Δu=u^2$ in $\R^4\times[0,\infty)$ with the initial data $u(x,0)=\e f(x),u_t(x,0)=\e g(x)$ of a small parameter $\e>0$, compactly supported smooth functions $f$ and $g$, has an estimate \[ \exp(c\e^{-2})\le T(\e)\le\exp(C\e^{-2}), \] where $c$ and $C$ are positive constants depending only on $f$ and $g$. This upper bound has been known to be the last open optimality of the general theory for fully nonlinear wave equations.

description: We investigate explosive nucleosynthesis in a non-rotating 15$M_\odot$ star with solar metallicity that explodes by a neutrino-heating supernova (SN) mechanism aided by both standing accretion shock instability (SASI) and convection. To trigger explosions in our two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations, we approximate the neutrino transport with a simple light-bulb scheme and systematically change the neutrino fluxes emitted from the protoneutron star. By a post-processing calculation, we evaluate abundances and masses of the SN ejecta for nuclei with the mass number $\le 70$ employing a large nuclear reaction network. Aspherical abundance distributions, which are observed in nearby core-collapse SN remnants, are obtained for the non-rotating spherically-symmetric progenitor, due to the growth of low-mode SASI. Abundance pattern of the supernova ejecta is similar to that of the solar system for models whose masses ranges $(0.4-0.5) \Ms$ of the ejecta from the inner region ($\le 10,000\km$) of the precollapse core. For the models, the explosion energies and the \nuc{Ni}{56} masses are $ \simeq 10^{51} \rm erg$ and $(0.05-0.06) \Ms$, respectively; their estimated baryonic masses of the neutron star are comparable to the ones observed in neutron-star binaries. These findings may have little uncertainty because most of the ejecta is composed by matter that is heated via the shock wave and has relatively definite abundances. The abundance ratios for Ne, Mg, Si and Fe observed in Cygnus loop are well reproduced with the SN ejecta from an inner region of the $15\Ms$ progenitor.

description: The role of mentorship on protege performance is a matter of importance to academic, business, and governmental organizations. While the benefits of mentorship for proteges, mentors and their organizations are apparent, the extent to which proteges mimic their mentors' career choices and acquire their mentorship skills is unclear. Here, we investigate one aspect of mentor emulation by studying mentorship fecundity---the number of proteges a mentor trains---with data from the Mathematics Genealogy Project, which tracks the mentorship record of thousands of mathematicians over several centuries. We demonstrate that fecundity among academic mathematicians is correlated with other measures of academic success. We also find that the average fecundity of mentors remains stable over 60 years of recorded mentorship. We further uncover three significant correlations in mentorship fecundity. First, mentors with small mentorship fecundity train proteges that go on to have a 37% larger than expected mentorship fecundity. Second, in the first third of their career, mentors with large fecundity train proteges that go on to have a 29% larger than expected fecundity. Finally, in the last third of their career, mentors with large fecundity train proteges that go on to have a 31% smaller than expected fecundity.

description: Much of atmospheric and oceanic transport is associated with coherent structures. Lagrangian methods are emerging as optimal tools for their identification and analysis. An important Lagrangian technique which is starting to be widely used in oceanography is that of Finite-Size Lyapunov Exponents (FSLEs). Despite this growing relevance there are still many open questions concerning the reliability of the FSLEs in order to analyse the ocean dynamics. In particular, it is still unclear how robust they are when confronted with real data. In this paper we analyze the effect on this Lagrangian technique of the two most important effects when facing real data, namely noise and dynamics of unsolved scales. Our results, using as a benchmarch data from a primitive numerical model of the Mediterranean Sea, show that even when some dynamics is missed the FSLEs results still give an accurate picture of the oceanic transport properties.

description: The existence of a kinematically defined moving group of stars centred at U = -40, V = -17 km/s referred to as the Hyades Supercluster, has been suggested as the debris of an originally large star forming event, with its core being the present day Hyades open cluster. Using high-resolution UVES spectra, we present elemental abundances for a range of alpha, Fe-peak and neutron-capture elements for 26 proposed supercluster stars. Our results show that the sample stars display a heterogeneous abundance distribution, with a clump around [Fe/H] = +0.15. We also calculate stellar radial velocities and U,V,W space velocities. Enforcing a strict chemical and kinematical membership criteria, we find 4 supercluster stars share the Hyades open cluster abundances and kinematics, while many of the remaining stars fit the disc field kinematics and abundance range. We discuss our findings in the context of the Hyades supercluster being a dispersed star-forming remnant, a stellar stream of purely dynamical origin or a result of several processes.

description: Macroscopically, confined electron gases at polar oxide interfaces are rationalized within the simple "polar catastrophe" model. At the microscopic level, however, many other effects such as electric fields, structural distortions and quantum-mechanical interactions enter into play. Here we show how to bridge the gap between these two length scales, by combining the accuracy of first-principles methods with the conceptual simplicity of model Hamiltonian approaches. To demonstrate our strategy, we address the equilibrium distribution of the compensating free carriers at polar LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces. Remarkably, a model including only calculated bulk properties of SrTiO3 and no adjustable parameters accurately reproduces our full first-principles results. Our strategy provides a unified description of charge compensation mechanisms in SrTiO3-based systems.

description: Die Lichtstärkeverteilungskurve (LVK) beschreibt das richtungsabhängige Abstrahlverhalten einer Lichtquelle. Klassischerweise wird sie in einem Goniophotometer gemessen. Hierbei rotiert ein Goniometer die Lichtquelle einmal um ihren Lichtschwerpunkt. Ein Photometer, nimmt zu jeder Raumrichtung einen Lichtstärkewert auf. Die LVK hat somit eine geometrische sowie eine photometrische Komponente. Bei der Justage eines LVK-Messsystems werden daher die Geometrie sowie die Photometrie einzeln justiert. In diesem Beitrag beschäftigen wir uns mit einer Methode zur Justage der Geometrie. Ziel ist es die geometrische Beziehung zwischen Lichtquelle und Detektor, unter Berücksichtigung aller für eine LVK-Messung wichtigen geometrischen Messsystemparameter, herzustellen. Mit einem etablierten Kamerakalibrieralgorithmus, auf Basis eines Bündelblockausgleichs soll überprüft werden, ob die vollständige Messsystemgeometrie bestimmt werden kann. Dazu gehören, die Lage des Detektors im Vergleich zum Goniometer, sowie die intrinsischen Goniometerparameter wie Abstand und Schieflage der Rotationsachsen.
To come and go : transnational life between Mexico and Alaska
Creators: name: Komarnisky, Sara Victoria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This dissertation examines the experiences of place and patterns of transnational mobility of three generations of people who have been living between Acuitzio del Canje, Michoacán, Mexico and Anchorage, Alaska, USA for several decades. These people hold dual US-Mexican citizenship or US permanent residency and are able to move across the continent in a way that many Mexican migrants cannot. Based on twelve months of ethnographic research in both Acuitzio and Anchorage, and ten years of engagement with people in these locations, I analyze the experience of Acuitzences (people from Acuitzio) at several levels: as they encounter frictions in their movements between Michoacán and Alaska; the practices of multigenerational family units who gain traction over time to build lives in both Anchorage and Acuitzio; the uneven and situated habits that generate a transnational class formation, and the ways in which Mexicans in Alaska re-conceptualize their senses of place by developing transnational identities out of the symbols and mechanisms of both nation-states. In showing how distance is key to the experience of Mexican migrant-immigrants in Alaska, this research also contributes to theorizations of the relevance of distance in the creation of spatialized differences. My analysis reveals that over time, Acuitzences in Alaska orient their lives to both locations as they live, work, and imagine their futures across the continent. Acuitzences in Alaska have created a transnational social field and orient themselves more to the field as a whole than to any one location in it. For most of them, Acuitzio, Anchorage, and the experience of mobility between the two places are necessary to feel at home in the world. These findings contribute to the anthropological research on mobility, citizenship, transnational migration, and the production of space, and bring the spatially bounded fields of Circumpolar Studies and Latin American Studies together. Based on this, I advocate for a transnational approach to theory and policy that embraces the multiple trajectories that construct places. Despite policy restrictions to migration, the lives of transnational Acuitzences who come and go show how the United States and Mexico are profoundly coproduced geographies.

description: We have evaluated a 20-in. photoelectric lens image intensifier tube (PLI) to be mounted on the spherical focal surface of the Ashra light collectors, where Ashra stands for All-sky Survey High Resolution Air-shower Detector, an unconventional optical collector complex that images air showers produced by very high energy cosmic-ray particles in a 42$^\circ$-diameter field of view with a resolution of a few arcminutes. The PLI, the worlds largest image intensifier, has a very large effective photocathode area of 20-in. diameter and reduces an image size to less than 1-inch diameter using the electric lens effect. This enables us to use a solid-state imager to take focal surface images in the Ashra light collector. Thus, PLI is a key technology for the Ashra experiment to realize a much lower pixel cost in comparison with other experiments using photomultiplier arrays at the focal surface. In this paper we present the design and performance of the 20-in. PLI.

description: The aim of this article is to demonstrate that the passer in Catullus’ cc. 2 and 3 is a symbol for the epicurean poet Lucretius. In c. 2 Catullus describes Lucretius’ bond with the epicurean sapientia (the puella) and hopes for himself to achieve peace and quiet in the same way. In c. 3 Catullus celebrates Lucretius’ death. Many evidences show that Catullus, mentioning the sparrow, makes clear allusions to concepts and words used by Lucretius in the De rerum natura. In addition, some wordplays seem to confirm the correctness of the starting hypothesis.

Subjects: Dante Alighieri; P. Papinius Statius; Purgatorio XXI; cultural heritage; dulcedo, Walter Benjamin

description: Starting from a lectura Dantis of the XXI canto of Purgatorio, Statius’ presence in the Middle Ages is investigated, in order to define the meaning of his ‘fidelity’ to Vergil in Dante’s poem. Dante’s text still openly invites the modern reader to a ‘sweet betrayal’ of the cultural tradition of the past: Statius enucleates from the forth Eclogue of his beloved Vergil an element which is totally foreign to it (wiz. the announcement of the nativity of Christ), and saves himself by ‘actualizing’ the literary tradition in a radically new perspective. Statius knows well that those new meanings were completely unknown to Vergil (and to past genera-tions), but he continues to remain faithful to his great master and model of poetry, despite having achieved something (salvation) that is denied to Vergil. The past holds in itself the potential for salvation, but this is released only in a far and unknown future. Even in the otherworldly realm of the Commedia, Benjamin’s Rettung der Vergangenheit is only par-tially accomplished: Vergil remains in the limbo of the unsaved. The embarrassed and almost comic game of glances at the end of the XXI canto hides and at the same time reveals the melancholy of all that is forever lost, in the past, in the violence of history and in the mystery of human condition.

Aktis Island houses and households : an ethno-archaeological study of the Ka:'yu:'k't'h home-base
Creators: name: Ogden, Melinda Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This community-based project combined ethnography, history and archaeology to chronicle the life history of the houses and households at Aktis village, the historical home-base of the Ka:'yu:'k't'h (Kyuquot) confederacy on the northwest coast of Vancouver Island. Though there are connections between the material house and the social household, they are not synonymous. Despite changes in architecture at Aktis village, there is continuity in social form. A diachronic perspective extending from the deep past to the present-day was used to examine this transformation. Archaeological mapping and percussion-coring were used to explore the distant past of the site. This revealed deep house depressions, suggesting that the locations of house sites at Aktis village were preserved through time. Core samples indicated shell midden deposits as deep as 3.5 metres, and almost uninterrupted occupation since 1686±126 BP (calibrated radiocarbon years before present), with a possible break between 1627±118 BP and 1384±107 BP. Interviews and historical documents suggest that the big houses and the lineage properties on which they stood acted as powerful symbols for extended family households. Though nuclear families moved out of the big houses, they continued to live in family groups, building smaller homes on their lineage properties. The centrepiece of the lineage properties were the externally-ornate dance houses, which, though vacant, represented family prestige and solidarity. The dance houses were torn down around 1930. However, lineage properties (and the family ties they represented) were maintained. The move away from Aktis village in the 1970s eliminated the community’s daily encounter with the lineage properties, a tangible symbol of household groups. Even so, the traditional ideology of kinship that bound together members of a house persists: Ka:'yu:'k't'h extended families continue to exhibit considerable social solidarity at key moments in the lives of their members.
High-energy resummation at the LHC: the case of Drell-Yan processes

description: We first review the general framework which enables one to resum high-energy logarithms in hadronic processes, both in the evolution of parton densities and in the coefficient functions. We then present an all-order calculation in perturbative QCD of the inclusive Drell Yan and vector boson production in hadron-hadron collisions, in the limit where centre of mass energy is much bigger than the invariant mass of the final state. Our calculation resums leading non-trivial logarithms in the ratio of these two scales. We also study the phenomenological relevance of the high-energy corrections for Drell-Yan processes at the LHC. We find that the resummation corrects the NNLO result by a few percent, for values of the invariant mass of the lepton pair below 100 GeV. Corrections to W, Z production are expected to be of the same order.

description: Initial sC clusters have been widely debated and thoroughly analysed in the pho-nological literature. This paper deals specifically with the syllabic status of sC clusters in Sar-dinian. In current Sardinian, a sharp partition is observed: Logudorese does not tolerate word-initial sC clusters and a prosthetic vowel is now generalised on such clusters. More in-terestingly, Campidanese, while accepting word-initial sC clusters, displays a phonological process of vowel prosthesis: a vowel is inserted at word-boundaries when a final coda precedes the cluster. I will focus on this process, to argue for a heterosyllabic analysis of sC clusters for Sardinian.

description: An important festival for the wedding of Prince Michele Peretti and Princess Anna Maria Cesi was held in Rome in 1614. From many aspects this was an extraordinary festival, with lots of dancing, but surely not only. So far not much attention has been given to this important event. The bridegroom was a brother of Cardinal Montalto (and thus a descendant of Pope Sisto V) vice-chancellor and a very influential member of the “Ac-cademia degli Umoristi”. The bride was a cousin of Prince Federico Cesi, who was the founder and leading person of the “Accademia dei Lincei”. It was unavoidable that during this festi-val the life and the subsequent tensions in both Academies came to light, which created heated discussions among those present. This led, of course, to further discussions and strain. Consid-ering the period this was doubtless very courageous since these two Academies had the intention to use this festival for defending Galilei and the Nuova Scienza. Among the numerous per-sons who collaborated were two artists forming part of the Este culture, viz Giovanni Guerra, an architect and painter, responsible for the theatre and probably also for the costumes and Ercole Provenzale, an Enzo Bentivoglio’s correspondent to whom we owe much and authentic information on this event

description: Aneka is an Application Platform-as-a-Service (Aneka PaaS) for Cloud Computing. It acts as a framework for building customized applications and deploying them on either public or private Clouds. One of the key features of Aneka is its support for provisioning resources on different public Cloud providers such as Amazon EC2, Windows Azure and GoGrid. In this chapter, we will present Aneka platform and its integration with one of the public Cloud infrastructures, Windows Azure, which enables the usage of Windows Azure Compute Service as a resource provider of Aneka PaaS. The integration of the two platforms will allow users to leverage the power of Windows Azure Platform for Aneka Cloud Computing, employing a large number of compute instances to run their applications in parallel. Furthermore, customers of the Windows Azure platform can benefit from the integration with Aneka PaaS by embracing the advanced features of Aneka in terms of multiple programming models, scheduling and management services, application execution services, accounting and pricing services and dynamic provisioning services. Finally, in addition to the Windows Azure Platform we will illustrate in this chapter the integration of Aneka PaaS with other public Cloud platforms such as Amazon EC2 and GoGrid, and virtual machine management platforms such as Xen Server. The new support of provisioning resources on Windows Azure once again proves the adaptability, extensibility and flexibility of Aneka.

Theoretical constraints on new generations with and without Quarks or Neutrinos

description: We consider large classes of chiral extensions of the Standard Model, including new quark generations that do not involve additional neutrinos as well as lepton generations without quarks. An analysis of renormalization flows of Yukawa and quartic scalar couplings reveals that additional quarks are not compatible with a scenario of grand unification without violating the strong bounds from direct and Higgs searches at colliders. Constraints from direct searches, electroweak precision observables, and Higgs physics, together with the assumption that additional new physics beyond the extended chiral field content should enter significantly above the TeV scale, allows us to make predictions for searches at the LHC.

description: The 18th-century novel The Dream of the Red Chamber (Honglou meng) is one of the most important narrative masterpieces of Chinese literature. Despite the numerous studies on this work − that is an encyclopedic summa of an entire culture − the role of the theatre in the novel has not been sufficiently deepened. This paper explores how the young protagonists of Honglou meng use The Story of the Western Wing, a comedy that is still fundamental to the Chinese artistic heritage today. The two teenagers in the novel secretly admire the drama characters and their courageous way of living passions. These characters have the subversive and maieutic function of providing essential words for a dialogue that allows the adolescents to emotionally overcome the conditioning of an environment characterized by a rigid and oppressive Neo-Confucian education. Some issues about the consideration suffered by sentimental dramaturgy − in an imperial context where the theatre was the centre of debates on which themes and behaviours should be censored as corrupting costumes − emerge in the background of this analysis.

A Physically-Based Method for Scaling Cepheid Light Curves for Future Distance Determinations

description: We present a technique for decomposing Cepheid light curves into their fundamental constituent parts; that is, their radius and temperature variations. We demonstrate that any given pair of optical luminosity and color curves can be used to predict the shape, amplitude and phase of a Cepheid's light variation at any other wavelength. With such predictions in hand, a single new observation at any given new wavelength can be used to normalize the properties of the predicted light curve, and in specific, derive a precise value of the time-averaged mean. We suggest that this method will be of great advantage in efficiently observing and precisely obtaining the mean properties of known Cepheids scheduled to be observed at new wavelengths, specifically in the mid-infrared where JWST will be operating.

«Infamie e splendori: questo è il tempo in cui abbiamo avuto la ventura di vivere». Il Rinascimento di Florestano Vancini in E ridendo l’uccise (2005)
Creators: name: Pavesi, Diletta
Publisher: name: Sezione di Lettere
Year: 2021
Subjects: Florestano Vancini; E ridendo l’uccise; Rinascimento ferrarese; Estensi; Buffone di corte

description: The main inspiration that led Florestano Vancini’s film career was Italian history. Although his attention was mostly drawn to major events from the 20th century – as in the highly praised La lunga notte del ’43 (1960) –, the Ferrarese director showed a considerable interest for the Renaissance era. The aim of this essay is to investigate the relationship that Vancini had with the “Umanesimo” in Ferrara. The first part of the present contribution analyses a short film from 1949, Amanti senza fortuna, staging the tragic events that involved Parisina Malatesta and her step-son Ugo d’Este. After that, other Vancini’s works are taken into consideration, such as the now lost La città di Messer Ludovico (1951), focusing on the great Renaissance poet Ludovico Ariosto; Ferrara (1995), a short TV movie showing the beautiful architecture of the town; and Lucrezia Borgia. Una intervista impossibile di Maria Bellonci (2002), a medium-length film dedicated to the tormented wife of Alfonso I d’Este. The final part of the essay analyses E ridendo l’uccise (2005), the last feature film directed by Vancini. Set at the time of the feud among the four Este brothers, the movie sheds light on a bloody page of the history of Ferrara viewed from the perspective of a jester, a character with a complex role in the social context of the Estense court.

description: The emerging strategy to overcome the limitations of bulk quantum optics consists of taking advantage of the robustness and compactness achievable by the integrated waveguide technology. Here we report the realization of a directional coupler, fabricated by femtosecond laser waveguide writing, acting as an integrated beam splitter able to support polarization encoded qubits. This maskless and single step technique allows to realize circular transverse waveguide profiles able to support the propagation of Gaussian modes with any polarization state. Using this device, we demonstrate the quantum interference with polarization entangled states and singlet state projection.

description: The launch of the Hinode satellite has allowed unprecedented high resolution, stable images of solar quiescent prominences to be taken over extended periods of time. These new images led to the discovery of dark upflows that propagated from the base of prominences developing highly turbulent profiles. As yet, how these flows are driven is not fully understood. To study the physics behind this phenomena we use 3-D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to investigate the nonlinear stability of the Kippenhahn-Shlüter prominence model to the magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instability. The model simulates the rise of a buoyant tube inside a quiescent prominence, where the upper boundary between the tube and prominence model is perturbed to excite the interchange of magnetic field lines. We found upflows of constant velocity (maximum found 6\,km\,s$^{-1}$) and a maximum plume width $\approx 1500$\,km which propagate through a height of approximately 6\,Mm in the no guide field case. The case with the strong guide field (initially $B_y=2B_x$) results in a large plume that rises though the prominence model at $\sim 5$\,km\,s$^{-1}$ with width $\sim 900$\,km (resulting in width of 2400\,km when viewed along the axis of the prominence) reaching a height of $\sim 3.1$\,Mm. In both cases nonlinear processes were important for determining plume dynamics.

Publisher: name: Sezione di Lettere
Year: 2021
Subjects: Contemporary sculpture; Venice Biennial; post-war Biennial; art market; press review

description: The contribution aims to consider the dimension of sculpture at the Venice Biennial in 1950. It is an emblematic case study aiming to analyze sculptural research dynamics immediately after World War II in relation to its critical reception and, specifically, to this segment of the art market. The essay describes the literature about sculpture in the post war Biennials and previous studies which investigate the problem of the sales, analyzing original sources and documents. Along with the catalogue, many other materials kept by Archivio Storico delle Arti Contemporanee (ASAC) were considered, including copies of the sales registers compiled by head of Ufficio vendite Ettore Gian Ferrari, minutes of the commission for the visual arts chaired by Rodolfo Pallucchini and coeval press review. The study is a first analysis about the logic behind the market of contemporary sculpture, in a decade that saw the rising of a new concept of sculpture that overcome the traditional meaning of sculpture which still had its roots in the 19th Century

description: Abstract:
This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site-to-site basis. At any site, it is important to understand the characteristics of both the soils and the underlying rock.
