description: There still exists in the collective global imagination a ghostly ‘image of progress’ framed by a nature-dominating narrative that distorts reality. As living standards rise worldwide, the demand for natural resources is accelerating in a familiar pattern: cities eat the rural, and the rural eats the wilderness. Ecology, society and economy are not the either/or variables they are often portrayed as being: there is no society without ecology, and no economy without society, each is embedded in context. As globalised societies become increasingly urban, the notion that cities ought to become self-sufficient has been widely popularised in both the architectural profession and in academia, legitimated through the use of the term autopoiesis (Greek αυ’τo ‘self’ and ποίησις ‘creation’), borrowed from the field of chronobiology. The opposite of autopoiesis, a closed process in which context might be an afterthought, is allopoiesis, the process whereby an organisationally open system produces something other than itself. Reality is many-layered and emphatically simultaneous, and while designers are busy fine-tuning daydreams of ‘self-sufficient cities’, regions and ecological systems now supporting real cities are being fragmented and erased in vast swaths, often taking once thriving cities along with them, further accelerating centralised urbanisation. Frank Lloyd Wright’s The Living City is a conceptual rural urban model for decentralised development that attempts, through its evolution in several iterations (from 1901 till 1958) to provide a humane alternative to centralised commercial urbanism. Wright’s life (1867-1959) and work spanned from the Victorian age to the space age, and The Living City is arguably his most ambitious attempt to ‘bridge the gap’. In arguing for contextual, open-ended planning methods it provides a suitable polar counterpoint to contemporary notions of cities as self-sufficient. As a precedent stimulating awareness of the fundamental need for the ‘humane proportion’ of industry and agronomy, it is of urgent relevance today.

Planning with water and traffic networks
Creators: name: Tjallingii, Sybrand
Publisher: name: Research in Urbanism Series
Year: 2015

description: The two networks strategy is a guiding model for planning and design that takes the networks of water and traffic as carrying structures. Its origin is in the early 1990s when it resulted from research by design projects aiming at the generation of tools for making urban development and the urban landscape more ecological. Reviewing practical experiences is one reason to look again at the strategy. A second reason is to explore the possible contribution to current debates such as those about complexity, landscape urbanism and landscape as infrastructure. The origin of the two networks strategy goes back to Ian McHarg’s Design with Nature and Michael Hough’s City Form and Natural Process. Inspired by them, the approach does not, in the first place, take nature and ecology to create limiting but carrying conditions. This asks for carrying structures. In the urban landscape there are at least three crucial fields of synergy between activities that ask for carrying structures: the territorial or spatial field or the area perspective, the activities related to flows that pass through these areas or the flow perspective, and the human activities involved in the plan and in the planning process or the actor perspective. The two networks create conditions for two multi-functional environments of synergy. The fast lane is the competitive profit-oriented zone where efficient production comes first. The traffic network is the carrier. The slow lane is the co-operation based non-profit oriented zone where water safety and quality, landscape and heritage, biodiversity, recreation and local food production are brought together. Here, the water network based on the drainage pattern is the carrier.

description: The project "ReStra" analyses potentials for the recycling of strategic raw materials and the substitution of primary raw materials by secondary raw materials. As a first step, target elements have been identified on the basis of analysis of criticality (Rare Earth Elements, Palladium, Gallium, Germanium, Indium, Gold, Rhodium, Platinum). Their application and quantification in products (industry catalysts, vehicle catalysts, alloy, battery, laser, wind energy, vehicle, medical equipment, fuel cell, optical fibre, photovoltaic, LED, home appliances, pedelec, e-bike, air condition, display panel, hub dynamo, ceramics, absorber material, high temperature superconductor, data processing centre) have been the subsequent part of the research. Existing disposal chains for the selected end of life products and barriers for an improved recycling as well as, where relevant, path dependencies have been elements for the identification of quantitative optimising potentials. Based on the mentioned working steps recommendations have been developed to promote circular economy for the selected strategic raw materials and applications on technical, legal and political level.

Intelligence and event-related potentials in a backward-masked auditory discrimination task: Analysis of speed and stages of information processing.
Creators: name: Bazana, P. Gordon.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Psychology, Cognitive.

description: The relation between speed of auditory discrimination and intelligence was investigated. Thirty-six females in experiment 1 and 24 in experiment 2 completed the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery (MAB; Jackson, 1984). Subjects were divided into higher (HA) and lower (LA) ability groups. An auditory oddball paradigm was employed, with the addition of a masking stimulus (1000 Hz, 55ms duration) following the standard (600 Hz, 25 ms) and deviant (700 Hz, 25 ms) tones. The interval between standard or deviant offset and masking tone onset, the stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA), was varied at 150, 50 and 25 ms. The auditory discrimination task was presented in a passive condition in which participants ignored the tones while reading a book and in an active condition wherein they detected the deviant tone. The passive condition generated the mismatch negativity (MMN), an event-related potential measure that indexes the operation of echoic memory. The active condition produced behavioural data and P3, an ERP measure associated with stimulus evaluation and classification. In both experiments, HA participants detected more deviant tones, and had faster and less variable reaction times. Overall, P3 amplitude was significantly larger for HA subjects, with some differences in P3 latency observed. The HA group bad larger MMN amplitude in the first study only; shorter MMN latencies for the HA group were observed in study 2 only. An intensity manipulation in experiment 2, intended to manipulate task difficulty, produced no graded changes in any of the variables. Results for both experiments were combined to increase power and facilitate interpretation. Overall, results indicate that more intelligent individuals process information in short-term memory more rapidly than those of lower-ability; results also suggest that speed of processing in echoic memory may underlie ability-related differences in performance.

description: Objective: Hip fractures have serious consequences, including a one-year mortality rate of 30%. Population-based studies on hip fractures in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are scarce. This study assesses the independent risk of hip fractures in patients with newly diagnosed SLE compared to the general population, accounting for baseline and time-varying confounders. Methods: A cohort of all patients with incident SLE who received healthcare between January 1, 1997 and March 31, 2015 was assembled. The outcome was first hip fracture after study entry. Non-SLE individuals were randomly selected from the general population and matched (5:1) to those with SLE on age-, sex-, and index year. Cumulative incidence was produced after accounting for competing risks of death. Marginal structural Cox models were used to estimate the impact of SLE on hip fractures, adjusting for baseline and time-dependent covariates (i.e., glucocorticoid use and number of outpatient, inpatient and rheumatologist visits). Results: Among 5,047 incident SLE and 25,235 non-SLE individuals (86% female, mean age 40), we found 73 and 272 hip fractures during 78,915 and 395,427 person-years, respectively. The crude incidence rate ratio was 1.34 (95% CI; 1.02-1.75). After adjusting for baseline covariates, the hazard ratio (HR) was 1.86 (95% CI; 1.37-2.52). The HR after further adjustment for time-dependent covariates remained significant (HR=1.62 [95% CI; 1.06-2.48]). Conclusion: Patients with newly diagnosed SLE have a 62% increased risk of hip fractures compared to non-SLE individuals. This result has important implications for prevention of osteoporosis in SLE patients that may lead to hip fractures.

description: Drawing on episodes involving the use (and abuse) of maps in Switzerland, this essay pertains to the geopolitical agency of cartography in the production of urban territory. Maps generate and maintain particular discourses about the world, whether factual or fictional, with very real repercussions either way for the territory depicted. The UN motion made by Libyan leader Muammar al-Gadaffi to wipe Switzerland off the map, for instance, discloses just how much sway the cartographic imaginary holds in global relations. Guillaume- Henri Dufour’s mid-nineteenth century map re-territorialised a loose coalition of fiercely independent cantons into that unified economic and legislative space known as ‘Switzerland’, while underwriting an infrastructural machine that remains as central to Swiss self-esteem as it is to the nation’s economy. More recent examples of the map’s formative authority come by way of two unusual bids made in 2010 to redraw the boundaries of Switzerland. The controversial map by Armed Forces Chief André Blattmann recast Europe as enemy territory in an effort to rekindle patriotic identity and legitimise the need for an army. Conversely, right-wing politician Dominique Baettig put forth an equally contentious map calling for the annexation of regions from neighbouring countries that would create a new Swiss megacity in the heart of Europe. Regardless of how it is mapped, Switzerland’s contemporary urban fabric hardly adheres to an immaculate image, manifesting instead a disjunctive amalgam of bits and pieces that operate according to their own rules and agendas. And with such territorial entropy increasing on a planetary scale, we might wonder to what extent the map actively shapes these conditions as an actor in its own right rather than only neutrally reflecting them. In any case, territory is never simply given, but is constituted through the polymorphous elements, relations, and domains of reference that it assembles. Whereas the map might continue to express what is done in the name of territory, we do not yet know what territory itself can do.

description: Investing in research towards solutions for Societal Challenges is a key priority of the EU Innovation Union[1], and the EC has placed focus on “Open Innovation, Open Science and Open to the World”[2] as a strategy to make the EU leader in Research & Innovation. Open Science is about removing all barriers to full sphere basic research knowledge and outputs (research data, research code, publications, policy briefs), and thus feeding Open Innovation and the knowledge-based economy. The concept is central to EU’s Responsible Research and Innovation philosophy[3], and removing barriers to basic research measurably contributes to the EU’s Blue/Green Growth Agenda[4]. Despite the potential of the internet age to deliver on that promise, only 50% of today’s basic research is freely available[5]. The workshop will demonstrate how and why Open Science can be a key tool for research managers formulating and managing grant proposals. Learning Outcomes follow FP7 FOSTER Open Science Learning Objectives (http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15603) : - Understand EC’s Open Science Agenda priorities; - Gain insight into what is, and will be, mandated on access to research, and data management; - Be capable to integrate Open Science in the research concept, and its impact; - Understand Open Science’s impact on EC Evaluation process based on examples from 2014-2015. The topics is presented as a tool to alleviate daily problems with formulating competitive grant proposals, in a way that optimised knowledge transfer and dissemination strategies, as well as the societal impact of research projects. The workshop can bring total beginners up to speed with the EC position on Open Innovation, and can upgrade existing knowledge on the topic of Open Science synergies and conflicts with IPR and Data Protection.   [1] EC Digital Agenda & Access to Knowledge http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/open-access-scientific-knowledge-0 [2] Commissioner Moedas Press Release, 22 June 2015 http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_SPEECH-15-5243_en.htm [3] Responsible Research and Innovation for Societal Challenges http://ec.europa.eu/research/science-society/document_library/pdf_06/responsible-research-and-innovation-leaflet_en.pdf [4] Houghton, J., Swan, A., Brown, S., 2011.

title: Hispanic Women's Perceptions of Family and Community Influences on Their Empowerment Process
Creators: name: Raboin, Rita
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Education

description: This research project addresses the empowerment processes of five Hispanic women from their perspectives of the family and community influences in their lives. One woman each from El Salvador, Colombia, Ecuador, and two from Puerto Rico, ranging in age from thirty-five to fifty-two years old engaged in interviews, listened to this content, and shared their feedback as to impacting influences in their lives. Throughout nine meetings they dialogued about discoveries and questions that emerged as a result of a reflective process that developed among us. How do we reflect about our growth process? Do we know what strengths we bring to how we learn? How did we discover them? How has our family influenced us? How do we learn from the community? These questions motivate and accompany our joint experience. The research process itself unfolds in an empowering style whereby the women mutually encourage each other to share on deeper levels where cultural, spiritual and gender related issues are explored. Moments of liberating personal disclosure are integrated throughout the study. Participation was key in this project design, as the listening experiences and our very interactive meetings clearly show. Discoveries about different kinds of power, what impedes or energizes empowerment processes, as indeed, new indicators for empowerment as these women have experienced them spiritually, are presented here in the findings. Implications for community based adult education groups are examined.
Rationalisation et modernisation sociale : Max Weber et Jürgen Habermas

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: Ce travail est surtout une confrontation systematique des deux principales conceptions de la rationalisation sociale que sont celle de Max Weber et celle de Habermas. Dans ce cadre, il a fallu d'abord relever les problemes de la critique de Weber par Habermas, problemes qui semblent avoir echappe jusqu'a present aussi bien aux commentateurs de Weber qu'a ceux de Habermas. Ensuite, partant des travaux de la sociologie des religions de Weber, il tente de montrer comment il faut rectifier certaines des conclusions de la theorie habermassienne de la modernisation de la societe; en l'occurrence que les donnees de la sociologie des religions ne permettent pas de confirmer la these de la rationalisation synchrone des trois complexes universels de rationalite en Occident, cette these qui se trouve au centre meme de la theorie de l'activite communicationnelle. Bien evidemment, un tel examen, qui n'est somme toute qu'une reevaluation de l'interpretation habermassienne de Weber, ne saurait constituer a lui seul une critique suffisante de Habermas. Cependent, parce qu'il l'avantage d'examiner dans le detail l'argumentation qui sert de fondement a la critique habermassienne du paradigme de la rationalite instrumentale, il a un interet qui, bien qu'essentiellement negatif, n'en n'est pas moins non negligeable. Car il permet en effet d'etablir: Premierement, que l'on ne peut pas faire deriver la these du changement de paradigme de l'argument conceptuel qui constitue le fond de la pensee de Habermas: a savoir qu'il est principiellement impossible de rendre compte de la modernisation sociale a partir d'un modele comme celui de Weber. Deuxiemement, que pour cette raison on ne peut pas soutenir, comme Habermas, que le paradoxe de la modernisation, a savoir la critique des effets pervers resultant de la rationlisation capitaliste, est une simple consequence du caractere limite du concept de rationalite instrumentale. Et enfin que, partant des theories de Weber et Habermas, il est possible de construire une typologie plus precise des actions sociales, laquelle permet d'eviter les limitations de chacune d'elles, et par consequent de nous doter aussi d'un instrument plus adequat pour l'analyse empirique des phenomenes de transformation sociale.

Evidence of strategic behaviour: an empirical study of management practice in Sri Lankan manufacturing sector small and medium enterprises (SMEs)
Creators: name: Cabraal Wijesinghe, Judy M. R.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study investigated management practices of Small and Medium enterprises in the manufacturing sector in Sri Lanka, a country which is emerging from a long civil war and a recent natural disaster. It was undertaken as a direct result of the Sri Lankan government's requirements for research into this sector which was deemed critical to the country's ongoing economic growth and development which had been continually underperforming. This was the first study of its kind in this area and the findings provided significant insights into how the sector operates; the critical success factors for the various businesses; and the sophistication of their management practices. There were policy implications particularly with regards to education and better government initiatives. It also provides a rich basis for further research.
Role of nitric oxide (NO) and regulation of NO synthesis in the kidney.
Creators: name: Roczniak, Agnes.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: The general objective in undertaking this study was to determine the role of nitric oxide (NO) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the regulation of Na+ excretion by the kidney. NO regulates renal hemodynamics and induces natriuresis. The induction of Na+ excretion may be caused by either vasodilatory action of NO, and/or its direct effect on the renal tubules. Our study was the first to show that in the proximal tubule NO donors inhibit the NHE3-mediated Na+ uptake in a cGMP-dependent manner. This is an important observation since the proximal tubule is a major site of salt and water reabsorption in the kidney, and the apical NHE3 exchanger is the most important transporter of Na+ in the proximal tubule. Possible implications of these findings are for the regulation of the extracellular volume and development of hypertension. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that NO regulates Na+ uptake by directly inhibiting the NHE3 in the PT, suggesting that this could be one of the mechanisms responsible for the induction of natriuresis by NO. Our studies further demonstrated that nNOS expression in the cortex and IMCD is differentially regulated by high dietary salt, suggesting regulation from different, cell-specific promoters. In 5/6 Nx rats, we demonstrated that nNOS mRNA and protein are significantly downregulated and PIN, a specific nNOS inhibitor is upregulated, which could contribute to the overall low NO production in the kidneys of rats with CRF. Treatment with losartan had no effect on the expression of nNOS in the inner medulla of 5/6 Nx rats but reversed, in part, the inhibitory effect of 5/6 Nx on nNOS in the cortex. Furthermore, Ang II may tonically upregulate nNOS expression in the cortex and the inner medulla. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Soils fertility declining limits agricultural production in Togo where maize (Zea mays L.) is most cereal cropping and base staple food. Currently, mineral fertilizers are beyond the reach of farmers due to high price and limited availability. This study assessed the response of household urban wastes compost to the growth and yield of maize Ikenne variety. Experiments were performed in rainy season of years 2018 and 2019 at Teaching Research and Demonstration Farm of Agronomy School in University of Lome, Togo. Agronomic trials were set at randomized in complete block design with three replications, where control plots, compost plots at different doses and mineral fertilizers plots constituted the treatments. The growth parameters, including plant height, stem girth, leaf area and number of leaves per plant, were measured at the milky maize stage. The yield parameters, including length and girth of cob, thousand grains weight, grain yield and straw yield, were collected at harvesting. Data were statistically analyzed. The results showed three distinct homogeneous groups of treatments both for growth and yield parameters. Plots treated with compost at 30 t ha-1 and 40 t ha-1 constitute the best group, which differs significantly from the second group formed by plots treated with compost at 10 t ha-1 and 20 t ha-1 and mineral fertilizer plots. Control treatments constitute the last group. Growth and yield parameters values increase with compost dose. Far from being used alone in place of mineral conventional fertilizer, integrated fertilization based on combination of mineral fertilizer and compost of household urban wastes will investigated in maize cropping in southern Togo for optimal compost dose to recommend.
Information representation, problem format, and mental algorithms in probabilistic reasoning.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Psychology, Clinical.

description: The purpose of this thesis was to better understand when people use and neglect base rate information. In four experiments, university students made probabilistic judgements for inferential reasoning tasks that were modelled after Tversky and Kabneman's taxi-cab problem (Tversky & Kahneman, 1982). In all, four theoretical perspectives were used to test predicted outcomes with observed responses and normative expectations. Experiment 1 found no differences between the trial-by-trial (on-line) format (Baker, Mercier, Vallee-Toumngeau, Frank, & Pan, 1993) and the traditional word problem (off-line) format of Tversky and Kahneman. Here the pattern of judgements was nearly identical across conditions and yet different from normative expectations. Both formats showed a strong sensitivity to base rates and the individuating information. This was contrary to the predictions based on the heuristics and biases program (Kahneman, Slovic, & Tversky, 1982) and also contrary to the predictions made by the frequentist approach (Gigerenzer, 1998; Gigerenzer & Hoffrage, 1995). Experiments 2 and 3 were designed to test the maxims of conversational conventions (Grice, 1975; Hilton, 1995). Experiment 2 was run entirely on-line and found no differences in mean probability judgements between the different conditional (individuating) sources of information. Participants relied equally heavily on a human or non-human source and also were sensitive to the changes made in base rate information. Experiment 3 was run entirely off-line and specifically tested the attribute of ambiguity. When the individuating source of information was very ambiguous, then judgements were based almost solely on the base rate information. None of the theories tested to this point were able to accurately predict the patterns of judgements made in all these conditions. What the results of these three experiments did suggest was that how the information is presented (e.g., probabilities vs. frequencies) and the context in which it is presented (i.e., how clearly the information is presented) are both important. These two factors combined suggest that a more general cognitive mechanism, one that is a function of the complexity of the judgement task and the amount of cognitive work that is required to make the judgement could best account for the data. This was tested and supported in Experiment 4. Normative responses can be elicited in judgement tasks that present only the essential probabilistic information in a format that is clear, unambiguous, and that requires few mental operations.

description: Objectives: This study analyses the perceived relevance of stress-dimensions in work-settings from the differential views of Human Resource Managers (HRM), Occupational Physicians (OP), Primary Care Physicians (PCP) and Psychotherapists (PT) in Germany. Methods: Cross-sectional study design, using a self-report questionnaire. Descriptive measures and explorative bivariate methods were applied for group-comparisons. Results are presented as rankings of perceived importance and as polarity profiles of contrasting views. Results: N = 627 participants completed the questionnaires (HRM: n = 172; OP: n = 133; PCP: n = 136; PT: n = 186). The stress dimensions with the highest mean ratings across all four professions were: ‘social relationships in the work place’ (M = 3.55, SD = 0.62) and ‘superiors’ leadership style’ (M = 3.54, SD = 0.64). Mean ratings of perceived relevance of stress dimensions differed most between HRM and the three medical professions. Conclusions: The perceived importance of work-related stress-dimensions seems to be higher in the medical disciplines (OP, PCP, PT) than in the group from the management sector (HRM). However, no fundamental disagreement on the role of work-related stress-dimensions seems to hinder e.g., intensified efforts of cooperation across sectors in tackling the “stress-pandemic” and improving the (mental) health of employees.

description: Chalcogenide (As2S3) nanofibers as narrow as 200nm in diameter are drawn by the fiber pulling method, are successfully embedded in SU8 polymer, and form on-chip waveguides and high-Q microknot resonators (Q=3.9×104) with smooth cleaved end faces. Resonance tuning of resonators is realized by localized laser irradiation. Strong supercontinuum generation with a bandwidth of 500nm is achieved in a 7-cm-long on-chip chalcogenide waveguide. Our result provides a method for the development of compact, high-optical-quality, and robust photonic devices.

"Di vedere e non vedere": lo spettatore all'opera

Subjects: melodramma; didattica; ascolto;

description: Fresco di qualche spettacolo, o riflettendovi a freddo, mi sono chiesto più d’una volta: di un melodramma del passato, perché trovo indispensabile che oggi si restituisca in palcoscenico un testo letterario-musicale storicamente e filologicamente accertato, e non ho invece la medesima esigenza sul piano visivo? Oppure: perché, nella riproduzione domestica di un’opera, preferisco ascoltare alla cieca un cd, immaginandone la dimensione scenica, piuttosto che vederne un’esplicita realizzazione in dvd? (A scanso di equivoci: nel pormi il primo di questi due interrogativi non mi riferisco a quella che molti, ma impropriamente, chiamano ‘esecuzione filologica’; la filologia ha come punto d’arrivo quello che per l’esecuzione è giusto il punto di partenza, ossia proprio il testo accertato: sono dunque campi che confinano, ma hanno pertinenze diversissime.)

description: Riverscapes are coupled social-ecological systems (SESs), in which the differences between the scales and functioning of interacting social and ecological components ( “mismatch”) impose challenges for global arid basin sustainability. Here, we defined riverscape SESs as networks of connected ecological and social components (nodes) to disentangle the structure and effects of SESs in Heihe River Basin (HRB) in arid regions of northwest China. Results showed the ecological network in HRB has low network density and high vertex strength. Heihe River Basin Bureau, as an emerging bridging organization, changed the SES structure and increased the matching degree of SES from 0.33 to 0.53, which has caused an obvious improvement in the downstream ecology. However, the characteristics of the ecological network demonstrated that cross-boundary management actions restricted to only the river would exacerbate local environmental pressures, such as the continued decline of groundwater in midstream regions and the potential appropriation of water for ecology by the expanding farmland in the downstream region. Our study demonstrated that network analysis could be one promising direction to untangle the complex SES and understand the relationship between SES structure and outcomes. We suggest comanaging the cross-boundary river and lands to further match the SES for basin sustainability.

description: An overview of the Human Understanding of Time (HUT), this paper gives a quick overview of my main ideas about how our sense of time evolved beginning in the Lower Paleolithic up to today. These key ideas taken together map out how our ability to understand linear time with a past, present, future and duration came into existence. I believe that we became the dominant species on the planet because we learned to manage time and to work with time. We are the only animal that does this in a pervasive way. Our understanding allowed us to take control of our environment. Today our shared cultural sense of time is critical when it comes to creating, planning, building, and being civilized.
Dual-frequency Optoelectronic Oscillator and its Application in Transverse Load Sensing

description: In this thesis, dual-frequency optoelectronic oscillators (OEOs) and their applications to transverse load sensing are studied. Two configurations of dual-frequency OEOs are proposed and investigated. In the first configuration, a polarization-maintaining phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (PM-PSFBG) is employed in the OEO loop to the generation of two oscillating frequencies. The beat between the two oscillating frequencies is a function of the load applied to the PM-PSFBG, which is used in transverse load sensing. To avoid the frequency measurement ambiguity, a second configuration is proposed by coupling a dual-wavelength fiber laser to the dual-frequency OEO. A single tone microwave signal with the frequency determined by the birefringence of the grating is generated in the OEO and is fed into the fiber ring laser to injection lock the dual wavelengths. The sensitivity and the resolution are measured to be 9.73 GHz/(N/mm) and 2.06×10-4 N/mm, respectively. The high stability of the single-tone microwave signal permits accurate measurement, while the frequency interrogation allows an ultra-high speed demodulation.

La funzione della musica nel teatro d'opera

Subjects: melodramma; scuola; metodologia;

description: I percorsi metodologici utili a favorire la comprensione e l’apprezzamento dell’opera lirica devono tener presente l’inevitabile confronto/scontro con le realtà visive e mediatiche che dominano attualmente la vita dei bambini, degli adolescenti e degli adulti. Tutti noi sappiamo che cinema e televisione ci hanno da tempo abituati a percepire la realtà “rappresentata” con scansioni temporali e con modalità ben diverse da quelle necessarie per fruire l’opera. Da qui le strategie che è necessario mettere in atto per far capire le, per noi ovvie, differenze che intercorrono. Nel contempo la comprensione e l’apprezzamento dello spettacolo operistico vengono a scontrarsi anche col teatro di parola, in rapporto al quale il teatro melodrammatico ha, anche qui, più diversità che affinità.
