Il personaggio scontornato in Škola dlja Durakov. Dal romanzo di Saša Sokolov agli adattamenti teatrali
Creators: name: Marchesini, Irina
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2012

description: Sokolov’s Shkola dlya Durakov (A School for Fools, 1976) is an extremely complex novel, which “depicts [the] world”, as D. Barton Johnson (1986:640)[1] poignantly observes, “through the eyes, and pure, if eccentric,  language, of a schizophrenic youth”. How is it possible to translate  such linguistic features and the effects they create into another  medium? This question lies at the core of my proposal, which aims to  approach the problem of intermedial translation from prose to theatre  through the presentation of an individual case-study. In fact, A School for Fools has been staged by the director Andrey Moguchy (Formalny Theatre, Saint  Petersburg, Russia). With the intention of reproducing Sokolov’s  aesthetic construction of illusion, Moguchy introduces a new genre in  the theatrical context, the so-called “vizualnaya associaciya”  (“visual association”). As the director explained in a recent interview,  this original genre recalls the Impressionists’ position in observing  and representing nature, in order to obtain the same effect generated by the reading of the novel. To comprehend this process  better, special attention is devoted to the construction of unusual,  hybrid characters, highlighting their constitutive features both in the  novel and in the theatrical adaptation. Moreover, this research seeks to  enrich discussion of the work of Sokolov and Moguchy.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: This project presents a web-based interface for Child Health Advanced Record Management System (CHARM) users that provides easy and fast access to child information from multiple data sources. This project’s overarching goal is to integrate child information from different participating programs under a single interface to allow any CHARM user (including users not belonging to any particular participating program) to view information from different participating programs. To that end, the interface allows any registered CHARM user to access child information from multiple data sources without the user being a registered member of any particular participating program. Thus, the user can access information from a universal portal without the need of registering with any specific participating program. The user interfaces were designed and customized to make interaction with the CHARM WebIF convenient and user-friendly. This report discusses the application of the CHARM WebIF in the CHARM environment along with its user-friendly interface design.

description: Variations in the spatial configuration of the interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) near the Sun can be constrained by comparing the ISMF direction at the heliosphere found from the Interstellar Boundary Explorer spacecraft (IBEX) observations of a 'Ribbon' of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs), with the ISMF direction derived from optical polarization data for stars within ~40 pc. Using interstellar polarization observations towards ~30 nearby stars within 90 deg of the heliosphere nose, we find that the best fits to the polarization position angles are obtained for a magnetic pole directed towards ecliptic coordinates of lambda, beta 263 deg, 37 deg (or galactic coordinates of L,B 38 deg, 23deg), with uncertainties of +/- 35 deg, based on the broad minimum of the best fits and the range of data quality. This magnetic pole is 33 deg from the magnetic pole that is defined by the center of the arc of the ENA Ribbon. The IBEX ENA ribbon is seen in sightlines that are perpendicular to the ISMF as it drapes over the heliosphere. The similarity of the polarization and Ribbon directions for the local ISMF suggest that the local field is coherent over scale sizes of tens of parsecs. The ISMF vector direction is nearly perpendicular to the flow of local ISM through the local standard of rest, supporting a possible local ISM origin related to an evolved expanding magnetized shell. The local ISMF direction is found to have a curious geometry with respect to the cosmic microwave background dipole moment.

Soft governance : why states create informal intergovernmental organizations, and why it matters
Creators: name: Roger, Charles Barclay
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Informal intergovernmental organizations have become a prominent feature of the global landscape. Yet it remains unclear why states create informal organizations in some instances and formal organizations in others. Thus far, scholars have argued that states choose to create informal organizations when they offer an “efficient” solution to certain kinds of cross-border cooperation problems. However, such functionalist arguments are underspecified and rest on weak evidence at present. Existing research suggests that functionalist theories can indeed explain certain cases, but numerous anomalies arise when we look at others. This dissertation argues that this is because functionalists do not take into account how domestic politics, distributional conflict and state power can decisively influence the kinds of organizations that are likely to appear. It offers an alternative account of the emergence of informal organizations that incorporates these variables. The theory advanced emphasizes how domestic politics and institutions structure state preferences over organizational form, and how the distribution of preferences and state power then shape the organizations that subsequently emerge. Specifically, it argues that informal organizations arise when either a) policymakers in powerful states face significant domestic constraints, or b) autonomous bureaucrats are given responsibility for “leading” cooperation on the behalf of powerful states. In order to test this theory, a variety of methods are used. First, the theory is evaluated quantitatively through a statistical analysis of an original dataset of formal and informal organizations. Second, the theory is evaluated qualitatively through process tracing of the “emergence” of the International Monetary Fund, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and the International Competition Network. Overall, the analysis provides powerful support for the central thesis of this dissertation: while certain aspects of the cooperation problems states face do play a role, domestic politics and state power are the most important determinants of organizational form. The dissertation’s findings are argued to have implications for theories of rational design in the field of International Relations, for our understanding of the overall rise of informal organizations in the global system, as well as for policy debates about the desirability of this new breed of international institution.
Dubbing: adapting cultures in the global communication era
Creators: name: Canu, Lidia
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2012

description: Adapting translation for dubbing is not a mere linguistic fact: it is mainly the adaptation of cultures. In fact, audiovisual translation and adaptation implicitly takes into account the importance of the historical background behind the multiplicity of languages and cultures, and by doing so, it becomes a means of cultural diffusion. That peculiarity enables what we can describe as the “socio-anthropological function” of the adaptation of translation for dubbing, which is the object of the following paper. Through an analysis of some important landmarks that intersected the history of some Western countries in the last two centuries, it was possible to trace a lack of reciprocity in the usage of dubbing in the two biggest film markets: North America and Europe. Clearly, that helps cultural supremacy to penetrate into our lives in a very subtle way. As a result, the paper attempts to demonstrate how dubbing spreads all cultures in order to have an effectively global communication.

North Park: A Regional Approach to Parks, Recreation, and Trails Planning
Creators: name: Luce, Alan John
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: The North Park study area is mainly focused on the parks, recreation, and trails of two municipalities: North Logan and Hyde Park. These two municipalities have formed several partnerships to provide the police, fire, and other civic needs of the citizens of both communities. Coincidentally, these services have been given a name that combines the names of the two municipalities, North Park. However, this particular study area also includes small portions of land that are currently located in Logan City, Cache County, and the U.S. Forest Service.
North Park is a beautiful area nestled on the east bench of Cache Valley. The majority of the area has remained undeveloped and relatively unchanged for the past 130 years. However, in recent years, the North Park area has experienced a large amount of growth and, with this growth, the existing community resources related to parks, recreation, and trails will need to grow accordingly. Consequently, a large amount of regional planning is needed between North Logan, Hyde Park, and the other governmental entities that make up the study area.

description: Convectively driven dynamos with rotation generating magnetic fields on scales large compared with the scale of the turbulent eddies are being reviewed. It is argued that such fields can be understood as the result of an alpha effect. Simulations in Cartesian domains show that such large-scale magnetic fields saturate on a time scale compatible with the resistive one, suggesting that the magnitude of the alpha effect is here still constrained by approximate magnetic helicity conservation. It is argued that, in the absence of shear and/or any other known large-scale dynamo effects, these simulations prove the existence of turbulent alpha^2-type dynamos. Finally, recent results are discussed in the context of solar and stellar dynamos.

Dalla frase proustiana  all'immagine-movimento:  Le temps retrouvé di Raoul Ruiz
Creators: name: Piga, Emanuela
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2012

description: Nel 1999 esce nelle sale Le Temps retrouvé del regista cileno Raoul Ruiz, il quale, affiancato dallo sceneggiatore Gilles Taurand, mette in scena l'ultimo volume de La Recherche du temps perdu di Marcel Proust.
Poiché gran parte dei giudizi negativi che seguirono l'opera di Ruiz partirono dall'assunto dell'intraducibilità della poetica della Recherche in un'opera cinematografica, questo studio mira a comprendere la relazione che il testo filmico  stabilisce con il testo letterario. In quest'ottica, lo studio si focalizza su alcune soluzioni formali adottate dal regista, partendo dall'idea che queste scelte siano alla base del tentativo di trasposizione, sul piano del contenuto e dell'espressione, della "qualità di visione" di Marcel Proust, di difficile transcodificazione per raffinatezza concettuale e linguistica e densità narrativa.
Nell'indagare la relazione traduttiva e le forme dell'espressione concretizzate nel testo d'arrivo, particolare interesse sarà riservato al movimento: i movimenti di macchina e i movimenti nel quadro, i movimenti degli oggetti e i movimenti dei personaggi. Movimenti in orbita all'interno del movimento più grande e incessante della memoria e di quell'immagine-movimento che è il piano.

Once again, the National Film Archive - Audiovisual Institute (FINA), together with the Narodowe Archiwum Cyfrowe (NAC) are a co-organizers of the exhibition. The Second Republic of Poland is a compelling topic for analysis – both ideologically and politically. Over a short period of time, all modern ideas were focusing and intensifying to an unprecedented extent with a combination of political events, new trends, and the urge for social transformation. WWI and later crisis, became a game changer, accelerating emancipation of previously undervalued and excluded social groups - women, children, workers, or ethnic minorities.'The Future Will Be Different', was a comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the period between the two world wars in Poland. Presented through the prism of modernist design and architecture, film, avant-garde theatre, and photography. The exhibition have shown the most important social and cultural ideas of the era — universal and still relevant today. More than perhaps we would like them to be.

Despeckle filtering in ultrasound imaging of the carotid artery
Creators: name: Loizou, C.P.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2008

description: Ultrasound imaging of the common carotid artery (CCA) is a non-invasive tool used in medicine to assess the severity of atherosclerosis and monitor its progression through time. It is also used in border detection and texture characterization of the atherosclerotic carotid plaque in the CCA, the identification and measurement of the intima-media thickness (IMT) and the lumen diameter that all are very important in the assessment of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Visual perception, however, is hindered by speckle, a multiplicative noise, that degrades the quality of ultrasound B-mode imaging. Noise reduction is therefore essential for improving the visual observation quality or as a pre-processing step for further automated analysis, such as image segmentation of the IMT and the atherosclerotic carotid plaque in ultrasound images. In order to facilitate this preprocessing step, we have developed in MATLAB® a unified toolbox that integrates image despeckle filtering (IDF), texture analysis and image quality evaluation techniques to automate the pre-processing and complement the disease evaluation in ultrasound CCA images. The proposed software, is based on a graphical user interface (GUI) and incorporates image normalization, 10 different despeckle filtering techniques (DsFlsmv, DsFwiener, DsFlsminsc, DsFkuwahara, DsFgf, DsFmedian, DsFhmedian, DsFad, DsFnldif, DsFsrad), image intensity normalization, 65 texture features, 15 quantitative image quality metrics and objective image quality evaluation. The software is publicly available in an executable form, which can be downloaded from http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/medinfo/. It was validated on 100 ultrasound images of the CCA, by comparing its results with quantitative visual analysis performed by a medical expert. It was observed that the despeckle filters DsFlsmv, and DsFhmedian improved image quality perception (based on the expert's assessment and the image texture and quality metrics). It is anticipated that the system could help the physician in the assessment of cardiovascular image analysis.

Fuel use and emissions for non road machinery in Denmark 1985- 2020
Creators: name: Winther, Morten
name: Nielsen, Ole-Kenneth
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2006

description: This paper explains the new Danish 1985-2020 emission inventory for non road machinery. Stock and operational data are from different statistical sources, research institutes, relevant professional bodies and machinery manufacturers. Updated fuel use and emission factors originate from various measurement programmes. Future factors are tailored to the current EU emission legislation. Beyond the basic calculation approach, the emission computations take into account the effects from engine deterioration, transient loads and gasoline evaporation. The major source of NOx and PM emissions are diesel engines. Most of the HC and CO emissions come from gasoline machinery. From 1985 to 2020, the total fuel use and the emissions of HC, NOx and PM decrease by 7, 43, 62 and 87%, respectively, whereas the CO emissions increase by 7%. In the forecast period from 2005-2020, the percentage NOx and PM emission reductions are almost the same as for road traffic. For HC, the reduction percentage is somewhat smaller, whereas for CO the emission development is so poor, that non road machinery ends up being the largest source of emissions by the end of the forecast period. The availability of new non road emission factors is very useful for other European countries, and work should be done to include these data in the European EMEP/CORINAIR guidebook.

description: We are aiming at the observational estimation of the relative contribution to the cooling by CO and H2O, as this provides decisive information for the understanding of the oxygen chemistry behind interstellar shock waves. Methods. The high sensitivity of HIFI, in combination with its high spectral resolution capability, allows us to trace the H2O outflow wings at unprecedented signal-to-noise. From the observation of spectrally resolved H2O and CO lines in the HH52-54 system, both from space and from ground, we arrive at the spatial and velocity distribution of the molecular outflow gas. Solving the statistical equilibrium and non-LTE radiative transfer equations provides us with estimates of the physical parameters of this gas, including the cooling rate ratios of the species. The radiative transfer is based on an ALI code, where we use the fact that variable shock strengths, distributed along the front, are naturally implied by a curved surface. Based on observations of CO and H2O spectral lines, we conclude that the emission is confined to the HH54 region. The quantitative analysis of our observations favours a ratio of the CO-to-H2O-cooling-rate >> 1. From the best-fit model to the CO emission, we arrive at an H2O abundance close to 1e-5. The line profiles exhibit two components, one of which is triangular and another, which is a superposed, additional feature. This additional feature likely originates from a region smaller than the beam where the ortho-water abundance is smaller than in the quiescent gas. Comparison with recent shock models indicate that a planar shock can not easily explain the observed line strengths and triangular line profiles.We conclude that the geometry can play an important role. Although abundances support a scenario where J-type shocks are present, higher cooling rate ratios than predicted by these type of shocks are derived.

Chemical composition of coal surface as derived from micro-FTIR and its effects on contact angle
Creators: name: Liu, Jie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: In this study, in-situ image analysis, contact angle measurements, micro-FTIR spectroscopy and SEM are used to obtain information on the surface composition of coal. The heterogeneous coal surface is investigated with regard to the distribution of the chemical functional groups and its effect on hydrophobicity as derived from contact angle measurements. Contact angles obtained from sessile drop and captive bubble techniques are correlated with the semi-quantitative ratios from micro-FTIR spectroscopy. As part of the new methodology, image analysis and SEM are also applied in order to characterize and analyze for the petrographic composition of areas that are subjected to these measurements. An opposite trend between high rank coal and low rank coal is found in relation to the micro-FTIR semi-quantitative ratios versus contact angle. For lower rank coal, the increase in Aromaticity 1 and 2 led to an increase in the contact angle, while the increased quantity of aliphatic groups decreased the contact angle values. For high rank coal, the rising aliphatic groups increased the contact angle values and the increase in Aromaticity 1 and 2 led to smaller contact angle values. The newly introduced CHal/C=O was used to assess the abundance of aliphatic groups and oxygenated groups. The increased content of oxygenated groups in the high rank coal samples led to a decrease in the contact angle, which is consistent with the findings of previous studies. For low rank coal samples, although the correlation was less distinct, an opposite trend was observed.

description: There has been an increasing prevalence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. In the literature describing ACL rehabilitation program flexibility, muscle strength, proprioception, and postural stability have been identified as reoccurring struggles that have arisen during rehabilitation. Whole Body Vibration (WBV) has been investigate as a rehabilitation tool that can be used when recovering from an ACL injury. Research has suggested that WBV can be used to increase flexibility, improve muscular strength, increase proprioception, and improve postural stability. The purpose of this review is to gather the WBV protocols used in previous research and apply them to ACL rehabilitation. An EBSCO and Google Scholar search was initiated with key words of: whole, body, vibration, anterior, cruciate, ligament, injury, and rehabilitation. Articles were saved that explained how vibrations worked, use of WBV to advance athletic performance, injury rehabilitation, vibrations during ACL rehabilitation, and protocols for using vibration on athletes. The protocols that are described have shown to improve the rehabilitation programs and as a collection will act as a guide and provide a starting point for health-care professionals to use WBV as a rehabilitation tools for patients recovering from ACL injuries.

The 3 Creeks Grazing Allotment: A Study of Livestock Grazing Management Across Public and Privately Owned Land
Creators: name: Payne, Taylor M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Livestock ranching is the most common use of public rangeland in the western United States (Gates, personal communication). The newly formed 3 Creeks Grazing Allotment which consists of 136,000 acres and has 29 permittees serves as an example of scientifically based public land management using grazing livestock as a management tool. It is believed that livestock grazing is the most underutilized tool in natural resource management (Hopkin, personal communication). The newly formed allotment will consolidate nine separate allotments into one management unit. This unit is holistically developed to sustain grazing livestock and rural economies while benefitting the range resources including wildlife that are found within its boundaries.

description: Declining oil reserves, difficulties of achieving CO2 emission reductions in the transport sector and agricultural considerations have led to increased attention for biofuels in the EU. The EU has therefore commissioned the project REFUEL to make an overview of the technical and economic possibilities for increasing the use of biofuels in EU 25+. REFUEL is a large EU research project designed to encourage a greater market penetration of biofuels. To help achieve this goal, it will develop a biofuels road map, consistent with EU biofuel policies and supported by stakeholders involved in the biofuels field. Starting early 2006, the project involves seven renowned partners and will take 24 months to complete. REFUEL is financed by the European Commission under the 'Intelligent Energy - Europe' programme. The road map will pave the way for an "ambitious, yet realistic" target share for biofuels in the fuel mix for EU transport in 2030, and propose policies to get there. The target share will be in the order of 25 % of the total transport fuel consumption. A least-cost biofuel mix meeting this target will be calculated based on identification of biofuels production chains, conversion technology, and biomass feedstock potentials and cost in the EU25+. The impact on the main drivers will be assessed: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing security of supply, and socio-economic impacts, especially in agriculture. Key stakeholders, their motives, the actions required from them, the barriers they will meet, the optimal timing of their actions will be identified and analysed, and policies needed to mobilise stakeholders, create incentives and reduce barriers will be formulated. The resulting road map will consist of a systematically described set of actions to be taken, coherent in task allocation and timing. This paper builds on the preliminary results from the REFUEL project, most importantly "A preliminary Road Map for Biofuels" (www.refuel.eu). The paper focuses primarily on the overall set-up of the project and the socio-economic analyses.

Religious Space in Transition: A Comparison of Latter-Day Saint and Nonconformist Worship in Victorian England
Creators: name: Beazer, Jaclyn Ann
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: July 19, 1837 was not a day to remember for the majority of the residents of Liverpool, England. For one small group of men, however, this was a day they had been anticipating for months. After a record breaking Atlantic crossing, the men hired a small boat to take them ashore rather than wait for the passenger steamer. Just before the boat reached the pier, several of the men jumped out and waded to shore, anxious to reach land and begin their work. These men were the first missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to arrive in England, and each felt he had been given a special mission to preach to the people of that country. While the British Mission of the Latter-day Saints has received a great deal of scholarly attention, the specific locations the missionaries chose to preach from have yet to be fully examined.1 These locations are particularly interesting, as they reflect the larger trends in English religion at the time, and provide insight into how the Latter-day Saints appealed to specific groups of converts. Examining Latter-day Saint concepts of religious space in context with the ideas of similar Nonconformist groups such as the Primitive Methodists reveals significant similarities between these groups. 2 While preaching in unorthodox locations was not something new, holding religious meetings in public halls, private homes, and even outside was contrary to the practices of established religion and reflected the desire of some Nonconformist groups to return to a more primitive, and in their minds purer, form of religious worship. The thesis and purpose of this paper is to explore the tactics of early Latter-day Saint missionaries to England, and compare them to the experiences of other Nonconformists like the Primitive Methodists. Such an exploration will show how the experiences of these small groups and their converts reflect the larger currents of English society and religion in the nineteenth century. In particular, comparing the types of locations in which these missionaries chose to preach and meet with their congregations will show how these choices directly responded to the changing religious needs of the converts they sought.
Nonlinear Aerodynamic Corrections to Blade Element Momentum Model with Validation Experiments

description: Blade element momentum theory is well suited for propeller analysis during the early stages of design. The analytic blade element momentum model is presented along with a proposed nonlinear improvement. The analytical model makes small angle assumptions which are known to be inaccurate under some conditions. The nonlinear model avoids these assumptions. The results of the analytical and nonlinear models are compared against each other. The differences between these are most prevalent on lower pitch propellers at high advance ratios. A wind tunnel validation test is outlined. Results of the validation test and other published data from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are compared to the analytical and nonlinear blade element models. The test data matches the nonlinear data with reasonable accuracy at high advance ratios.
Perspektiver for biomasse i transportsektoren i Danmark

description: Formålet med indlægget er at behandle biomassens muligheder og begrænsninger i transportsektoren i Danmark og sammenligne og konsekvensvurderer forskellige anvendelsesmuligheder for udnyttelse af biomasse i transportsektoren. Biomassen indtager en nøglerolle i forbindelse med transportsektorens omlægning til drivmidler baseret på vedvarende energi. På den ene side kan den bruges i mange forskellige former, idet den fx kan konverteres til biobrændstoffer, brint og el, der alle kan bruges som drivmiddel. På den anden side stiller den begrænsede ressourcer til rådighed i langt højere grad end det gælder for de fleste andre vedvarende energikilder. Denne begrænsning har praktisk betydning, selv når der ses på de teoretiske biomassepotentialer, og skyldes dels den begrænsede biomasseproduktion pr. areal, dels at der mange er mange potentielle anvendelser af biomassen: i transportsektoren, i resten af energisektoren og til ikke-energimæssige formål. Biomassesystemet er på den baggrund særdeles komplekst mht. biomassetyper, konverteringsteknologier, anvendelser etc. Der er også forskellige niveauer i systemet, hvor der udnyttes alt fra deciderede energiafgrøder over overskudsbiomasse til deciderede affaldsprodukter. I den forbindelse er det vigtigt at forudsætningen for de teoretiske biomasseressourceopgørelser er at affalds- og biprodukter udnyttes. Paperet er baseret på resultatet af et projekt "Towards a hydrogen-based society", der er under afslutning

description: The current investigation explored the effects of the Read Naturally® program on the reading fluency of students with disabilities in an elementary school setting. Participants were eight students with disabilities grades three through six who were screened and found ready to receive a fluency intervention. Reading fluency pre-post measures were collected. Weekly progress monitoring was carried out and data was compared to national norms as described by the 2005 Hasbrouck-Tindal Table of Oral Reading Fluency Norms. All three female participants showed a downward trend in their progress monitoring data. In contrast, all male participants showed an upward trend. All except two participants showed fluency gains between the pre and post benchmark fluency data, however, only one of the participants reached the 50th percentile norm fluency rate for their grade level. The majority of the students expressed reading satisfaction and the program was implemented with fidelity except for communication with parents. The teachers and aides also expressed satisfaction with the program. The Read Naturally® program was implemented for the minimum recommended time, therefore, sufficient gains were not made to close the gap between students with disabilities using the Read Naturally® program and students remaining in the classroom for core instruction without interventions. Future research should replicate these findings in a larger, normative sample and encourage maximum recommended time for the implementation of the Read Naturally® program.
A Model For Rapid Charging Events on International Space Station

description: Surface charging by plasma can be a serious issue for any spacecraft. Though significant charging is not observed in all spacecrafts at all times, it only requires a single episode of extreme charging to result in serious damage. The International Space Station (ISS) is an interesting platform to study these charging effects because of its size and relatively high voltage systems. Of the many kinds of charging observed on ISS, the rapid charging events during solar eclipse exit in a low-density ionosphere is not yet understood. This report is an investigation to understand this phenomenon. This report proposes a simple linear model of this nonlinear charging that takes into account the capacitive and resistive natures of conducting and oxidized surfaces is sufficient to describe the phenomenon.
