description: Recent studies have explored theoretically the ability of populations of neurons to carry information about a set of stimuli, both in the case of purely discrete or purely continuous stimuli, and in the case of multidimensional continuous angular and discrete correlates, in presence of additional quenched disorder in the distribution. An analytical expression for the mutual information has been obtained in the limit of large noise by means of the replica trick. Here we show that the same results can actually be obtained in most cases without the use of replicas, by means of a much simpler expansion of the logarithm. Fitting the theoretical model to real neuronal data, we show that the introduction of correlations in the quenched disorder improves the fit, suggesting a possible role of signal correlations-actually detected in real data- in a redundant code. We show that even in the more difficult analysis of the asymptotic regime, an explicit expression for the mutual information can be obtained without resorting to the replica trick despite the presence of quenched disorder, both with a gaussian and with a more realistic thresholded-gaussian model. When the stimuli are mixed continuous and discrete, we find that with both models the information seem to grow logarithmically to infinity with the number of neurons and with the inverse of the noise, even though the exact general dependence cannot be derived explicitly for the thresholded gaussian model. In the large noise limit lower values of information were obtained with the thresholded-gaussian model, for a fixed value of the noise and of the population size. On the contrary, in the asymptotic regime, with very low values of the noise, a lower information value is obtained with the gaussian model.

description: We review and discuss insights on ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities that can play a role in destabilizing solar coronal flux rope structures. For single flux ropes, failed or actual eruptions may result from internal or external kink evolutions, or from torus unstable configurations. We highlight recent findings from 3D magnetic field reconstructions and simulations where kink and torus instabilities play a prominent role. For interacting current systems, we critically discuss different routes to coronal dynamics and global eruptions, due to current channel coalescence or to tilt-kink scenarios. These scenarios involve the presence of two nearby current channels and are clearly distinct from the popular kink or torus instability. Since the solar corona is pervaded with myriads of magnetic loops -- creating interacting flux ropes typified by parallel or antiparallel current channels as exemplified in various recent observational studies -- coalescence or tilt-kink evolutions must be very common for destabilizing adjacent flux rope systems. Since they also evolve on ideal MHD timescales, they may well drive many sympathetic eruptions witnessed in the solar corona. Moreover, they necessarily lead to thin current sheets that are liable to reconnection. We review findings from 2D and 3D MHD simulations for tilt and coalescence evolutions, as well as on particle acceleration aspects derived from computed charged particle motions in tilt-kink disruptions and coalescing flux ropes. The latter were recently studied in two-way coupled kinetic-fluid models, where the complete phase-space information of reconnection is incorporated.

Determination and Verification of PVB Interlayer Modulus Properties
Creators: name: Stevels, Wim

Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2020

description: Interlayer modulus properties are important for the calculation of the load resistance of laminated glass configurations. The determination of interlayer properties can be made on the interlayer material directly, or indirectly through measurements on laminated glass test specimens. One challenge relates to the four-decade range of modulus values that interlayer materials go through with variations of temperatures and duration that are relevant to building elements. Furthermore, in determination of properties directly on the interlayer, e.g. by dynamic mechanical analysis, methodological choices and data treatment play an important role, apart from experimental and material variation. To some extent, this also holds true for modulus determination on laminated glass specimens, with the added challenge that the properties of a relatively soft material are derived from the response of a rigid assembly. In this contribution, three material models are provided for of all major PVB interlayer formulations (conventional, structural, acoustic trilayer), as determined by dynamic mechanical analysis and compared to modulus values obtained in four-point bending experiments. The validated material models can provide modulus data relevant for glass design for a wide range of load scenarios in a concise format.

description: We discuss two experiments - the Very Small Array (VSA) and the Arcminute MicroKelvin Imager (AMI) - and their prospects for observing the CMB at high angular multipoles. Whilst the VSA is primarily designed to observe primary anisotropies in the CMB, AMI is designed to image secondary anisotropies via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. The combined l-range of these two instruments is between l = 150 and ~10000.

Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2020

description: The method of fiber optic strain measurement based on Rayleigh signal analysis enables the detection of the deformation behaviour of glass laminates for the purpose of modelling its load-bearing characteristics. With distributed fiber optic sensors, which consist of a diameter of 0.16 mm, it is possible to determine strain patterns on both glass surfaces and its interlayers. The sensors used in tensile and bending tests on monolithic as well as laminated glass supplement the deformation measurements taken with strain gauges and inductive displacement sensors. The study describes the results of the principal applicability of fiber optic strain sensors to evaluate the structural behaviour of laminated glass and provides the basis to define a model for the material characteristics of viscoelastic interlayers.

description: The Water Framework Directive (WFD), whose basic aim was to create a legal backgroundfor water bodies 'protection, undoubtedly affects all economic sectors. Being a specific and distinctly different water user, agriculture will have the greatest share in the implementation of WFD out of all sectors of national economy. This results from its special character (60% of the country area used by agriculture), large volume of water consumed by evapotranspiration, diffuse pollution etc. Implementation of WFD will call for undertaking of many activities to restrict an unfavourable impact of agriculture on water resources and water related ecosystems. It is assumed that agriculture should also protect water resources. Accomplishment of this task imposes significant changes in the land use of river basins. Water management can be an essential factor deciding about the sustainable development of rural areas and biological diversity of agricultural landscape. Actions undertaken so far to implement the WFD are mainly limited to the protection of water quality from agricultural pollution. It is also necessary to undertake implementation of other aims of WFD. This refers especially to the provision of good hydromorphological status of water bodies, protection of water related ecosystems and effective water use.

description: Rubrocurcumin, well-known for its application in photometric determination of boron in various matrices, has attracted substantial attention due to its applications in biological and pharmacological fields. Here, geometrical optimization, diverse bonding features and potential energy surface scans were studied by use of density functional theory. Vibrational analysis of rubrocurcumin was done by Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman spectroscopies. The electronic density distribution of atoms in the molecule was analyzed by use of natural bond orbital analysis. Conceptual density functional theory-based local reactivity descriptors were used to understand the relationship between structure, stability, and chemical reactivity.
«Я» КАК «ДРУГОЙ» В СУБЪЕКТНОЙ СТРУКТУРЕ ЛИРИКИ АРСЕНИЯ ТАРКОВСКОГО

Subjects: А. Тарковский; «я» и «другой»; самоидентификация; субъектная структура; диалогические отношения в лирике

description: Статья обращена к рассмотрению субъектной сферы лирики Арсения Тарковского в аспекте соотнесенности категорий «я» и «другого». Методологическим ориентиром служит тезис М.М. Бахтина, согласно которому самопредставление человека заведомо неадекватно, и единственной возможностью узнать себя-подлинного является самообъективация, предполагающая позицию вненаходимости относительно любого момента биографии. Анализ показывает, что сюжет идентификации и становления личности в поэзии А. Тарковского можно считать центральным: несовпадение субъекта с самим собой (как правило, в прошлом) фиксируется последовательно и разнообразно. При этом герой нередко увиден со стороны – как «он» или «ты», а детство осмысляется им как идеальный модус существования, момент абсолютной самотождественности и максимального напряжения творческих сил. Взросление же, чреватое самоотчуждением, требует не только беспристрастного взгляда на себя, но и целенаправленной работы, призванной вернуть утраченное активно-деятельное отношение к жизни. Непременным условием его возвращения (которое, впрочем, может быть только временным) выступает разрешение внутренних конфликтов, а именно преодоление разобщенности «души» и «тела»: их единение является залогом стиходвижения, а изолированность ведет к «немоте», обессмысливающей любое усилие. Подробный разбор стихотворений «Река Сугаклея уходит в камыш...», «Стань самим собой» и др. позволяет сделать вывод о том, что становление личности в поэзии Тарковского не имеет временных рамок, а его завершение, с точки зрения автора, синонимично смерти.

description: The paper looks first at the geographical conditions, specifically the economic, socio-cultural, demographic, and environmental, including local conditions as the vital factor underlying the course of transformation in mountainous rural areas. Next, the paper considers the results of the case study from the Pol'ana Biosphere Reserve (BR) in Central Slovakia, which is an excellent model territory for studying man and nature relationships. Basic socio-demographic data on population of the BR are analysed and their relations to quality of life and sustainability are discussed. Selected aspects of sustainability and the life quality of population in the BR are studied in the analysis of recent situation using subjective estimates of local decision- and opinion-makers. The research (interview technique) is focused on the evaluation of perception of environmental and nature conservation problems, community's milieu, community development, and on the evaluation of the opinion about the community, regional sustainable development programmes and improvement of life quality. Finally, several conclusions important for future role of human factors in sustainable development of mountainous rural areas are presented as well as the list of the most important challenges for mountainous rural areas from the perspective of sustainable development.
Manifestations of three dimensional magnetic reconnection in an eruption of a quiescent filament: \\ Filament strands turning to flare loops

description: We report on observations of conversion of bright filament strands into flare loops during 2012 August 31 filament eruption. Prior to the eruption, individual bright strands composing one of the legs of the filament were observed in the 171 A filter channel data of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly. After the onset of the eruption, one of the hooked ribbons started to propagate and contract, sweeping footpoints of the bright filament strands as well as coronal loops located close by. Later on, hot flare loops appeared in regions swept by the hook, where the filament strands were rooted. Timing and localization of these phenomena suggest that they are caused by reconnection of field lines composing the filament at the hook, which, to our knowledge, has not been observed before. This process is not included in the standard flare model (CSHKP), as it does not address footpoints of erupting flux ropes and ribbon hooks. It has, however, been predicted using the recent three-dimensional extensions to the standard flare model. There, the erupting flux rope can reconnect with surrounding coronal arcades as the hooked extensions of current ribbons sweep its footpoints. This process results in formation of flare loops rooted in previous footpoints of the flux rope. Our observations of sweeping of filament footpoints are well described by this scenario. In all observed cases, all of the footpoints of the erupting filament became footpoints of flare loops. This process was observed to last for about 150 minutes, throughout the whole eruption.

description: Within several research projects and with the aim to optimize structural performance, energy efficiency and ecological characteristics of structural building components the Department of Structural Design and Timber Engineering (ITI) at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) developed several wood-based composite systems combining timber and wood concrete as well as structural glass components. Certain advantages in the application of these individual composite systems could be shown within the described former research activities. Due to a suitable combination of the named materials, a structural optimized construction with increased resource efficiency on component level as well as on the overall construction level can be achieved. For the assessment of this opportunity, different types of timber-wood concrete-glass façades with a special focus on varying glass components are developed and compared to conventional wall structures. The comparison is carried out regarding to the materialization on component level, as well as to the overall construction level, whereby a scale-independent assessment of the examined constructions types can be reached. This assessment shall be enabled by a broad spectrum of computations ranging from static and dynamic thermal simulations for annual heating and overheating periods up to various thereof resulting ecological impact calculations.

description: We study the importance of supply constraints in explaining the heterogeneity in house price cycles across geographies in the United States. Comparing the equilibrium house price generated with and without supply constraints in a representative-agent model under irreversibility of housing investment, we derive a relationship between housing returns and changes in supply constraints and determinants of housing demand. Our empirical analysis shows that supply constraints play an important role in Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) with boom-and-bust behavior. We estimate that, in 19 of the largest MSAs in the United States, supply constraints contributed 25% to the dramatic rise in house prices from 2000 to 2006, and 17% to their sharp fall from 2006 to 2010.
description: Dans cette étude, les auteurs examinent la mesure dans laquelle les contraintes s’exerçant sur l’offre expliquent l’hétérogénéité des cycles des prix des maisons entre différentes régions aux États-Unis. Ils comparent le prix d’équilibre des maisons généré en intégrant ou non des contraintes d’offre dans un modèle comportant un agent représentatif dont l’investissement dans le logement est irréversible, et font ressortir une relation entre le rendement de l’investissement résidentiel, d’une part, et l’évolution des contraintes de l’offre de logements et des déterminants de la demande, d’autre part. Une analyse empirique leur permet de constater que les contraintes pesant sur l’offre jouent un rôle important dans les zones statistiques métropolitaines (Metropolitan Statistical Areas ou MSA) des États-Unis où l’on a observé des cycles de flambée et d’effondrement des prix. Les auteurs estiment que, dans 19 des plus grandes MSA, les contraintes de l’offre ont contribué dans une proportion de 25 % à la hausse spectaculaire des prix des maisons enregistrée de 2000 à 2006, et dans une proportion de 17 % à leur chute brutale de 2006 à 2010.

description: При рецепции древнескандинавского универсума в современных исландских исторических романах в основу повествования, как правило, кладутся конкретные древнеисландские тексты, с которыми создаются интертекстуальные связи. Романы Вильборг Давидсдоттир «Ауд» (2009), «Смертельный багрец» (2012) и «Кровавая земля» (2017) выделяются на их фоне тем, что посвящены фигуре, о которой в древнеисландской литературе отсутствует единый цельный подробный текст – Ауд Мудрой. Лейтмотивы всех трех романов: гендерные взаимоотношения, язычество и христианство, вопрос о личном выборе и личной свободе, взаимоотношения скандинавов и кельтов. Поскольку описанный в трилогии период – время накануне и во время заселения Исландии, можно сказать, что Ауд Мудрая находится «по ту сторону» исландской повествовательной традиции (т.к. основные события ее жизни предшествуют времени складывания этой традиции). Особенности поэтики в трилогии Вильборг Давидсдоттир во многом обусловлены именно отсутствием в древней и современной исландской прозе нарратива об Ауд – а также тем, что существенную часть содержания трилогии составляют события и факты, заведомо не могущие быть объектом изображения в древнеисландской литературе (будничная жизнь женщин и подробности судьбы ирландских рабов). Трилогия Вильборг Давидсдоттир занимает промежуточное положение между исландской («сагоцентричной») и континентальной европейской формой исторического романа.

description: Social and economic transformations in Poland had as one of the consequences the fact that rural areas faced a number of difficulties and challenges. In connection with the political system transformation and Poland's accession to the European Union, problems appeared, concerning mainly the issues of employment and the population's income sources. The issues become yet more significant in the areas of agricultural and farming traditions, i.e. in Lublin Province (Voivod-ship), where the percentages of rural population and of population employed in agriculture are high and exceed 50%. The backwardness of this region calls for profound reforms, in which well-educated inhabitants, aid funds or local leaders may become the stimulating factors. The paper presents the current condition and the directions of development of the key industry of the commune (gmina) of Uscimow. The paper deals with a number of problems which, in particular, include a difficult demographic situation, investments in agriculture and new aspects of management. The presented conclusions were drawn on the basis of the material from the field research of the authors. The questionnaires, which were the basic form of gathering information, concerned: the incomes of households, the access to various institutions (health care, schools, town or city), the features of an agricultural household, plans and investments for the next 10 years, the way of obtaining financial means for investments (loans for agricultural production, UE aid forms for agriculture), as well as the opinions of the population on the chances and threats resulting from entering the EU.

description: We study the overlaps between right and left eigenvectors for random matrices of the spherical and truncated unitary ensembles. Conditionally on all eigenvalues, diagonal overlaps are shown to be distributed as a product of independent random variables. This enables us to prove that the scaled diagonal overlaps, conditionally on one eigenvalue, converge in distribution to a heavy-tail limit, namely, the inverse of a $γ_2$ distribution. These results are analogous to what is known for the complex Ginibre ensemble. We also provide formulae for the conditional expectation of diagonal and off-diagonal overlaps, with respect to all eigenvalues.

description: В статье анализируется функция метафоры в диалогах героев романа «Домби и сын». Делается попытка уточнить производимые метафорами эффекты, увидеть связь между стилистическим приемом и имманентными свойствами метафоры как речевой модели, опираясь на исследования М. Блэка и когнитивной теории. Как речевая модель, раскрывая ход мысли говорящего, во-первых, и выявляя взаимные представления говорящих друг о друге, во-вторых, метафора становится способом углубления речевой спецификации героя и выявления его возможностей осуществлять коммуникацию – говорить так, чтобы быть понятым, и понимать партнера в ответ. Метафора усложняет речь, поэтому описанный М.М. Бахтиным процесс непрерывной взаимоориентации языков, модусов, интонаций благодаря метафоре происходит интенсивнее. Для одного или даже для обоих героев метафора оказывается «чужим языком», барьером в коммуникации. Этот барьер герои преодолевают по-разному. В статье рассматриваются диалоги метафорами, которые ведут между собой три типа характеров, частых в диккенсовском романном обществе – душевные и чуткие герои, герои лицемерные и чудаки. Для первых метафора становится способом искреннего высказывания и распознавания друг в друге ментально и морально близких людей. Лицемеры прикрываются метафорами, заимствуют чужой дискурс и ведут с его помощью игру. В свою очередь, чудак, каким является Катль, хотя и использует формально метафорический язык, обнаруживает отсутствие языковой рефлексии в целом: невладение речью и делает героя странным. Морской язык Катля искусно присваивает Каркер, одерживая над капитаном верх и в речевом, и в сюжетно-драматическом плане. Роль стилистических приемов в интенсификации разноречия Диккенса отмечалась ранее, но в фокусе диалогов героев не рассматривалась.

description: Research was conducted comparing the price differences observed in traditional livestock auctions, teleauctions, and satellite video auctions. Several significant price ; diferences were found to exist between the three auction markets. The largest and most significant differences occurred between the teleauctions and the local sale barn suction and between the satellite video auction and the local sale barn auction. Price determination results of this study were found to be similar to previous price determination studies. The price differences are believed to be the result of the differing emphasis that is placed on various cattle characteristics in each of these markets. This study tests the relevant variables which determine the price differences between the three markets using data from each of the cattle auctions.
title: Business Cycle Effects of Credit Shocks in a DSGE Model with Firm Defaults

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2013

description: This paper proposes a theoretical framework to analyze the relationship between credit shocks, firm defaults and volatility, and to study the impact of credit shocks on business cycle dynamics. Firms are identical ex ante but differ ex post due to different realizations of firm-specific technology shocks, possibly leading to default by some firms. The paper advances a new modelling approach for the analysis of firm defaults and financial intermediation that takes account of the financial implications of such defaults for both households and banks. Results from a calibrated version of the model suggest that, in the steady state, a firm’s default probability rises with its leverage ratio and the level of uncertainty in the economy. A positive credit shock, defined as a rise in the loan-to-deposit ratio, increases output, consumption, hours and productivity, and reduces the spread between loan and deposit rates. The effects of the credit shock tend to be highly persistent, even without price rigidities and habit persistence in consumption behavior.
description: Les auteurs proposent un modèle théorique pour l’analyse de la relation entre les chocs de crédit, les défaillances d’entreprises et la volatilité, ainsi que pour l’étude des effets de ces chocs sur la dynamique du cycle économique. Dans ce modèle, des entreprises identiques ex ante se différencient ex post en réponse aux chocs technologiques réalisés, qui sont propres à chaque entreprise et peuvent provoquer sa défaillance. Le nouveau modèle employé par les auteurs pour examiner les défaillances des firmes et l’intermédiation financière tient compte des conséquences financières de ces défaillances à la fois sur les ménages et sur les banques. Les résultats tirés d’une version étalonnée du modèle indiquent qu’à l’équilibre de long terme, la probabilité de défaut d’une entreprise augmente avec son ratio de levier et le degré d’incertitude dans l’économie. Un choc de crédit positif - à savoir une hausse du ratio des prêts aux dépôts - accroît la production, la consommation, le nombre d’heures travaillées et la productivité et réduit l’écart entre le taux prêteur et le taux de rémunération des dépôts. Les retombées du choc de crédit tendent à perdurer longtemps même en l’absence de rigidité des prix et de persistance des habitudes de consommation.

We determine the topology of this space for the once-punctured torus and the 4-times-punctured sphere. For these two surfaces, we also compute the Hausdorff dimension of the space of geodesic laminations, when it is endowed with the natural metric which, for small distances, is -1 over the logarithm of the Hausdorff metric. The key ingredient is an estimate of the Hausdorff metric between two simple closed geodesics in terms of their respective slopes.

Специфика персонажей и проблематики обусловлена работой писательницы в кинематографе, позволяющем противопоставить визуальное аудиальному, тем самым и раздвоив нарратив, и лишив «голоса» – тел, т.е. визуальной репрезентации. В статье последовательно рассматриваются персонажи-«голоса» в романах и фильмах. В романах «голоса» представлены как часть аудиального мира произведения, вступающая во взаимодействие с другими типами звуков (шепотов, шорохов, криков), «голоса» наделяются функцией «расшатывания» субъекта в прозе Дюрас, его окружения многоголосым, но анонимным и обезличенным пространством. В фильмах образ персонажей буквализируется: происходит разрыв между визуальным и аудиальным, голоса больше не дополняют визуальную репрезентацию персонажей, а сами становятся действующими лицами, причем единственным их действием остается речь, рассказ, сюжетно и тематически слабо связанный с визуальным нарративом. Посредством этого противопоставления смещается и рецептивный акцент: зритель ставится в положение все больше слушающего, а не смотрящего, вынужденного с усилием соотносить увиденное и услышанное, находящиеся в отношении контрапункта. Кроме того, в фильме «голоса» теперь соседствуют с новым типом персонажей (молчащими, неговорящими персонажами, представленными на экране) и, как следствие, становятся частью поиска новой эстетики – эстетики безмолвия и молчания, значимого отсутствия звучащего слова.

description: The problem of sustainability represents one of the most important issues that the world has to face nowadays, not only in terms of energy consumption and of the consequent CO2 emissions, but also in terms of material waste streams that end in landfill. 38 million tons of glass waste are produced every year in the European Union and new targets have been set for 2020 towards a more sustainable management of such wastes. Nowadays, only the container glass industry has reached a considerable recycling rate, while for all the other sectors we are still witnessing downgrading processes. Looking at the world of construction, glass has been more and more employed as a structural material thanks to its high transparency and compression strength. Although the use of glass can be attractive under multiple aspects and its production is continuously increasing, once employed as a construction element, it is rarely reused or recycled due to the high-quality requirement demanded to the industry of production. Nevertheless, besides its main applications as a 2-dimensional element, the new technology of cast glass has been recognised as a potential mean of glass recycling. Here, glass is designed and used under the form of repetitive 3-dimensional units assembled in a whole geometrical shape. In fact, thanks to its higher load-bearing capacity under monolithic shapes, this glass can admit less restrictions and potentially incorporate different types of waste. For this reason, the aim of this experimental work is to find a possible combination between glass families, specifically soda-lime, borosilicate and lead-crystal glass, to be recycled as cast glass components. Each type of glass was powdered or grinded under the form of cullet and different mixtures were prepared to be melted at temperatures of 970°C, 1120°C and 1200°C through the kiln-cast tecnique. Finally, an experimental splitting test was performed to define a force trend and a fracture behaviour for each sample. Some preliminary results have been achieved drawing the guidelines for a further investigation. Soda-lime-silica glass and lead-crystal glass mixture revealed to be the most compliant glass recipe with the required physical and mechanical properties, when reheated at 1120°C. The decrease in the melting temperature of the compound and the higher transparency given by the addition of lead glass revealed the potential benefit, in terms of sustainability, for future projects.

description: This study of presents evidence that inventories of market ready fed cattle (showlists) have a stronger influence on weekly slaughter cattle prices than do slaughter levels. Three data sources were used to test the relative correlation strength between showlist and price versus slaughter and price. These sources were: a) output from a fed beef market experiential learning simulator; b) publicly reported data; and c) private data from feedlot closeout records.

description: A comparison of experimentally observed Raman scattering data with Raman line-shapes, generated theoretically using phonon confinement model, has been carried out to understand the sensitivity of different Raman spectral parameters on quantum confinement effect. Size dependent variations of full width at half maximum (FWHM), Raman peak position and asymmetry ratio have been analyzed to establish the sensitivity of their corresponding physical counterparts (phonon life time and dispersion) in confined systems. The comparison has been done in three different confinement regimes namely, weakly, moderately and strongly. Proper reasoning has been assigned for such a variation after validation of the theoretical analysis with the experimental observations. A moderately confined system was created by preparing 6 nm sized Si NSs using metal induced etching. An asymmetrically broadened and red-shifted Raman line-shape was observed which established that all the parameters get affected in moderately confined system. Sensitivity of a given Raman spectral parameters has been shown to be used as a tool to understand the role of external perturbations in a material.

description: Shells made of structural glass are beautiful objects from both the aesthetics and the engineering point of view. However, they pose two significant challenges. The first one is to assure adequate safety and redundancy concerning possible global collapse. Being single-layered, in a shell made of structural glass, the brittle cracking of a single pane can lead to a sudden propagation of failure, up to instability. The second one is to guarantee cheap replacing possibilities for potentially collapsed components. This research explores a novel concept to address both requirements, where glass is both post-tensioned and reinforced and develops the research on TVT post-tensioned glass beams. Following the Fail-Safe Design (FSD) principles, a steel reinforcement relieves glass deficiencies (i.e. brittleness and low tensile strength). Following the Damage Avoidance Design (DAD) principles, glass segmentation and post-tensioning avoid the propagation of cracks. Up to now, glass-steel systems were limited to mono-dimensional elements (such as beams and columns) or simple bi-dimensional elements (arches, domes, barrel vaults). Instead, massive structures are usually realized as grid shells, where glass is used as simple cladding. This research investigates piecewise triangulated glass shells to enable the creation of 3D free-form glass-steel systems, where glass is load-bearing material. Hence, laminated glass panels are mechanically coupled with a filigree steel truss, whose elements are placed at the edges of the panel and act as an unbonded reinforcement. In a performance-based perspective, these steel trusses can be sized to bear at least the weight of all panels in the occurrence of simultaneous cracks (worst-case scenario). The panels are post-tensioned using a set of edge-aligned cables that add beneficial compressive stress on glass to prevent crack initiation. The cable placement and accompanying pre-loads are derived with an optimization strategy that minimizes the tensile stress acting on the shell. This optimization procedure also considers the practical constraints involved in the process. The results obtained through this automated procedure are later investigated using nonlinear FE analyses. The resulting structures optimize the total material usage providing contemporarily both transparency and load-bearing capabilities. Post-tensioned shells excel in static performances, achieving high stiffness and good redundancy for the worst-case scenario, and improve the structural lightness and the visual impact with respect to state-of-the-art competitors.

ИСКУССТВО И ЖИЗНЬ В ПОВЕСТИ М. МЕСЁЯ «ВЫСОКАЯ ШКОЛА»

description: В центре внимания автора статьи находится соотношение искусства и игры, жизни и смерти в повести Миклоша Месёя «Высокая школа». Об особенностях поэтики выдающегося венгерского писателя второй половины ХХ в. написано уже немало, и интерес к этому в наше время только возрастает. Данная повесть уникальна в своем роде, т.к. была создана после возвращения Месёя с соколиной фермы, на которой он побывал с целью написать репортаж. Вместо репортажа в повести встречаются указания на разные виды искусства, в связи с чем поднимается вопрос: в какой форме лучше всего представлять жизненный опыт и живых существ? Следовательно, можно утверждать, что метафоризация искусства выполняет текстообразующую функцию. В ходе нашего анализа рассматривается также тропеизация некоторых птиц и зверей в повести, примыкающая к данной проблеме и создающая новую семантику, которая противопоставляется логической структуре высказывания. В повести посредством позиций героев представляется «искусство как игра», однако конфликт с реальной жизнью, в которой все живое должно умереть, приводит к тупику рефлексивного сознания, что выражается в попытках построить легенды о соколах. Лишь при помощи языкового акта, поэтического слова становится возможным преодолеть это состояние и понять свое существование. Таким образом, метафоры искусства служат как выявлению личного присутствия в бытии, так и созданию нового поэтического дискурса.
