description: In 1975, parliament passed an Act "to make provision for the conditional and voluntary integration of private schools into the state system of education in New Zealand on a basis that will preserve and safeguard the special character of the education provided by them." Its short title is the Private Schools Conditional Integration Act 1975. For Catholic schools, the "proprietor" referred to in the Act is the diocesan bishop or the superior of a religious institute. Thus a Catholic school becomes integrated when the proprietor and the Minister of Education for the Crown enter a formal agreement known as the integration agreement. Advantages that Catholics receive by way of integration include teachers' salaries paid to state standards, and buildings and grounds maintained at state cost (once they have been brought up to state code). Capital works, however, remain the responsibility of the code). Capital works, however, remain the responsibility of the proprietor. In this study we will consider the impact of the PSCIA 1975 on the canon law of the Church in regard to Catholic schools owned and managed by the Church. First we will consider the impact of the Act on the Catholic school as an expression of the apostolate of the parish or diocese as a juridical person. Flowing from this, we will explore also the consequences of the transference of administrative control from bishops and parish priests to boards, which the Act calls the "controlling authority" (and from 1989, "boards of trustee"). While the Act appears to give the proprietor sweeping rights regarding the preservation of "education with a special character"---the Catholic ethos---we will examine whether these rights are as extensive as those that he may have in canon law. Furthermore, we will explore whether under the Act there may be loss of effective canonical control which may be tantamount to canonical alienation. Second, we will address whether by integration the temporal goods that comprise the parochial or diocesan school have been canonically alienated (c. 1533 CIC/17). As all Cathofic schools were integrated prior to the promulgation of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, the canonical status of the schools and school buildings must be determined according to the ius vigens---the 1917 Code of Canon Law.

description: La traduction postcoloniale de la littérature africaine europhone ne saurait s’inscrire dans le contexte colonial à proprement parler, où la traduction pouvait directement servir les intérêts de la colonisation. Les années 60 marquent la transition entre le discours du roman colonial, dimension essentielle du discours hégémonique occidental sur l’espace colonial africain, et celui du roman africain moderne. Si ce changement de perspective se reflète sur la traduction, celle de la littérature africaine reste le fait d’instances énonciatrices majoritairement occidentales. Or, le discours occidental sur l’altérité africaine s’étant constitué en un savoir qui subsiste à ce jour sous une forme ou une autre (rémanences), on peut s’interroger sur le positionnement d’une traduction occidentale de la littérature africaine postcoloniale par rapport à ce savoir dont la crise a présidé à l’éclosion de cette littérature anticoloniale qu’elle se propose de promouvoir. Autrement dit, la traduction occidentale de la littérature africaine postcoloniale est-elle à l’abri des représentations coloniales qui ont au fils des années voire des siècles façonné le regard de l’Occident sur l’Afrique? Pour aborder cette question, la traduction est posée ici, au-delà des considérations d’ordre linguistique et culturel – notamment l’hybridation de la langue d’écriture par les valeurs culturelles africaines – en termes de rapport à l’altérité. Dans une approche descriptive, les traductions française, anglaises et allemandes d’œuvres africaines représentatives de la postcolonialité ont été respectivement examinées dans une perspective comparative. Plus que de juger un acte de promotion de la littérature africaine au sein du canon universel, il faut d’abord voir ici l’occasion de revisiter le cadre théorique d’une traduction de soi, par opposition à une traduction de l’autre, la littérature africaine postcoloniale se définissant elle-même comme une écriture de soi, non pas en termes d’opposition binaire, mais bien dans une perspective hybride. Car, au-delà de sa dimension politique, la littérature africaine europhone assume la double identité propre à la postcolonialité.

description: This thesis examines case studies and historical accounts taken from different periods of the history of recording technology, and addresses questions concerning the impact of mediatization, manipulation, and mediation on listeners' and performers' approaches to music. The project considers the development of the idea of "copies without originals," and of the ideological frameworks that have been used to describe and classify recorded sound. The first case study covers the early days of the phonograph and its development in Victorian society, then contrasts the values and motivations of those early years with modern-day rock performance and its own value systems. Moving into the mid-twentieth century, a chapter of this thesis is devoted to the work of Glenn Gould, and the possibilities for tape manipulation that the Canadian pianist explored during the period of his career that was focused on the recording studio. Lastly, this project examines the innovative, user-driven methods of music-making that are gaining momentum today, including Bjork's "Biophilia" app album, and the emergence of a new genre of popular music in Asia that uses vocal synthesizers in place of live performers. By exploring these case studies alongside the works of scholars in musicology, media studies, sound theory, film and television, and popular music studies, this thesis demonstrates how cultural need, individual innovation, and social involvement interact to direct the development and application of emerging media technologies.

description: A l’arrivée des premiers colons eurocanadiens à Assiniboia en 1811, le territoire n’est encore qu’un terrain de chasse pour les grandes compagnies de commerce des fourrures, qui obéissent aux codes d’une lex non scripta propre au milieu et à l’économie des Territoires Indiens. La colonie dépend ensuite de la tutelle juridique de la Compagnie de la Baie d’Hudson, qui gère ses institutions gouvernementales, législatives et judiciaires à l’abri d’interventions canadiennes ou britanniques. Jusqu’à son annexion au Canada en tant que province du Manitoba en 1869, Assiniboia est le seul district de l’Ouest continental canadien doté de telles institutions. Cette thèse analyse l’évolution de la culture juridique de la société métissée de la Rivière Rouge (Assiniboia). A travers les sources des fonds législatifs et judiciaires de la colonie, les récits, correspondances et journaux de dirigeants, de missionnaires et d’habitants d’Assiniboia, ce travail observe les usages de l’outil juridique et ses effets normatifs sur les colons. Cette étude postule qu’un demi-siècle après sa création, la Rivière Rouge est un espace juridique hybride, où les lois coutumières coexistent avec celles du code civil de la colonie. Cette recherche démontre l’importante participation de la population à sa propre gouvernance et l’établissement progressif d’un pluralisme juridique, qui savait reconnaître et respecter les altérités sociales de la Rivière Rouge, où se rassemblaient des Eurocanadiens, des Autochtones et une majorité d’individus métissés et semi-nomades. Enfin, cette étude met en évidence le rôle fondamental des Métis et du métissage dans tous les processus de changements juridiques du territoire.
Resource-based view, agglomeration, and cluster formation models to assess innovation and technology transfer in New Zealand

description: Using a resource-based view, we assessed the innovation and technology transfer system in New Zealand to explore the role of innovation, as well as the strategies, structures and performance of New Zealand university and research institute technology transfer offices. While we found a broad consensus about the potential of innovation to spur economic development, we also found a wide diversity of opinion about how New Zealand should organize, coordinate and measure the progress of the national technology transfer system. We conclude that executives face high transaction costs in accessing innovation from universities and research institutes. Our findings also suggest that public-sector managers face difficult strategic choices in measuring the effectiveness of technology transfer offices.

Strategie della conoscenza nella riflessione di Guglielmo di S. Thierry
Amor incapibilem capit, incomprehensibilem comprehendit
Creators: name: Rossini, Marco
Publisher: name: Doctor Virtualis
Year: 2008

description: Il problema della visio Dei: si intende comprendere cosa Dio sia, non chi sia. Fondamentale è l'analogia con la struttura della conoscenza sensibile, caratterizzata dall'identificazione fra soggetto conoscente e oggetto conosciuto. L'amore, inteso come sensus animae, opera per mezzo di una conoscenza identificante attraverso una modificazione del sentimento, anche se con una fondamentale differenza rispetto agli altri sensi, in quanto essenzialmente caratterizzato dalla libertà. La declinazione di amore e libertà è uno dei possibili usi dell'amore. Percorsi alternativi possono fondarsi sulla dottrina della doppia immagine dell'uomo con la conseguenza che altro è l'amore come sensus animae, altro è la sua rectitudo, individuata nel decor. La relazione che si instaura tra soggetto conoscente e termine dell'azione conoscitiva trasforma il primo, superando la contrapposizione soggetto-oggetto propria della conoscenza razionale. Nell'atto conoscitivo dell'amor, l'oggetto rappresenta lo specchio necessario attraverso il quale il soggetto diviene trasparente a sé.

description: Guglielmo di Sait-Thierry descrive attraverso il linguaggio dell’amore un percorso di conoscenza e avvicinamento a Dio. Considera i sensi spirituali come massima espressione dell’unione a Dio, paralleli all’esperienza corporea, in grado di condurre verso una comprensione superiore.
 La sensazione, insieme attiva e passiva, è anche azione dell’organo sensitivo sull’oggetto percepito, incontro tra soggetto e oggetto, e trasformazione del soggetto senziente in oggetto percepito.
 Sono i passaggi che si ritrovano nel percorso verso la conoscenza come somiglianza: percezione – avvicinamento – assimilazione.

Sea anemones in the marine aquarium trade

Subjects: Sea anemone
Mariculture
Marine aquarium trade
Asexual reproduction

description: Organism collection for the marine aquarium trade is an anthropogenic stressor affecting coral reef ecosystems. Less than 10% of traded marine organisms are cultured, and increased mariculture could reduce collection pressures on reefs. Sea anemones are among the most traded invertebrates in the marine aquarium trade, but very little published information is available about their mariculture. Therefore, this thesis aims to investigate aspects of sea anemone trade and mariculture to support the captive breeding of individuals for supply for aquaria and conservation. First, an online survey of anemone aquarists and businesses was conducted to determine the most popular species and explore respondents’ attitudes towards the sustainability of the sea anemone trade. According to survey respondents, Entacmaea quadricolor (Bubble-tip anemone) is the most popular anemone in the marine aquarium trade. Moreover, the majority of respondents would be prepared to pay more for sustainably cultured than wild-harvested anemones if the former were available. This research was followed by a series of laboratory experiments planned to determine larval survival, settlement, and juvenile feeding requirements for one popular species of anemone, Radianthus crispa. Under laboratory conditions, the ideal density for ex situ rearing of R. crispa larvae lies between 3000 and 4000 larvae·L-1. Following settlement, the growth of juvenile R. crispa was enhanced by feeding with live Artemia nauplii or metanauplii every four or five days during the subsequent three months, compared with dried Instar I Artemia, general invertebrate liquid food or no feeding. Finally, adults of five species of anemone were tested to establish whether manual fragmentation methods could be used for ex situ propagation. This experiment confirmed that asexual manual fragmentation of two new species of anemone was possible, with a survival rate of 88% for fragments of Stichodactyla tapetum and Aulactinia veratra, neither of which is known to naturally reproduce using fission. Adoption and optimisation of these techniques for scaled-up production of the most popularly-traded anemones will help reduce harvest pressure on wild populations and could support mariculture businesses and the livelihoods of residents in coastal tropical villages.
European frameworks for entrepreneurship and small business development: a critical analysis of existing systems of support

description: Despite the importance of policy effectiveness for stimulating entrepreneurship, to date, little research has focused on the framework conditions for Entrepreneurship promotion and small business development. This paper aims to extend prior research and propose a theoretical framework, drawing on Entrepreneurship theory, New Institutional Economics (NIE) theory, Regional Innovations Systems Theory (RIS) and Context Theories, which will allow a systematic analysis of country/regional and local existing systems for entrepreneurship support. Given the complexity of the existing socio-economic, political, environmental and legal systems of different societies we argue for a holistic and dynamic approach that understands entrepreneurship as a non-linear process. An illustrative case based on France context is offer as preliminary findings from an analysis of primary and secondary sources, collected from relevant public authorities.
La teoria dell'immagine dei Libri Carolini

description: Tra le posizioni antitetiche, emerse nei primi secoli di storia del cristianesimo, di accettazione e di rifiuto delle immagini, i Libri Carolini assumono una posizione intermedia.
L'immagine, collegata al visibile e all'esteriorità, non può essere in relazione con il vero, né possiede vita senso e ragione. Essa tuttavia ha il compito di mantenere il ricordo dei fatti e, grazie a tale funzione, aiuta la visione spirituale.
Il fatto che solo grazie alla iscrizione che l'accompagna, un'immagine acquisti il proprio significato preciso, indica una sorta di autonomia dell'estetico, in cui la bellezza non ha alcun legame con la santità e con la sfera morale.

description: Hoarded homes can pose a threat to public safety, with heightened risks of fire hazards, pest infestations and noxious odours in both the home and neighbouring dwellings. Communities across North America are responding to these public safety concerns through a harm reduction approach. This descriptive study explores the implementation and outcomes of the City of Vancouver's approach involving a partnership between fire prevention and public health. Data were collected from the team's 2016–2018 case tracking systems, consisting of health records and team intervention record, as well as notes taken from case briefing meetings. Study objectives included describing the intervention model, providing descriptive statistics on clients and their clutter volume, the interventions undertaken, and exploring predictors of clutter volume and case outcome through exploratory analyses. The sample included 82 cases involving severely hoarded conditions or more moderate hoarding conditions paired with additional client vulnerabilities (e.g. health conditions, frailty). Results from paired samples t-tests and regression analysis, suggest the Hoarding Action Response Team's (HART) model of a community-based intervention for hoarding was associated with clutter reduction and tenancy preservation. HART successfully maintained engagement with most clients, and most cases were closed within six home visits. Despite these successes, the team dealt with several barriers including client avoidance and limited resources. This paper provides guidance for communities who are working to develop a coordinated response to problems associated with hoarding and begins to establish expectations for what can be achieved through a community-based hoarding intervention model.

Es können nur Entropiedifferenzen bestimmt werden. 2. Die Interpretation von Boltzmann als ein Maß für die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Zustands in einem Ensemble von Teilchen, die sich stochastisch bewegen; die Entropie S wird über das statistische Gewicht W ≥1 eines Zustands bestimmt. Es ist möglich, absolute Entropiebeträge zu ermitteln. Es können auch irreversible Vorgänge mit spontaner Zunahme der Entropie beschrieben werden, ohne eine ausgetauschte Wärmemenge Qrev . 3. Die Bedeutung der Entropie H in der Informationstheorie als dem durchschnittlichen Informationsgehalt eines Zeichens, das, zusammen mit anderen Zeichen, auf einem Datenkanal übermittelt wird. Berechnet wird diese Entropie über die mathematische Wahrscheinlichkeit pi ≤1, mit der die einzelnen Zeichen auftreten und die Information -log2pi tragen. Diese Wahrscheinlichkeiten sind nicht identisch mit dem W, dem statistischen Gewicht. Außerdem ermöglicht diese Entropie H eine Voraussage über die erwartete Fortsetzung einer bereits empfangenen Zeichenkette. Der Entropiebegriff ist mit der Bandbreite des Datenkanals verknüpft. 4. Die binäre Entropiefunktion als Maß für die Verringerung der Kanalkapazität und damit für den Informationsverlust durch stochastische Prozesse im Verlauf einer Übertragung auf einem Datenkanal.

Si mette allora in luce la strada dell'annullamento della personalità che riduce Ildegarda a uno specchio che deve riflettere le parole e le immagini di cui è stata testimone.
L'esperienza di Ildegarda si dimostra essenzialmente visiva e parzialmente auditiva, con rarissimi accenni alla percezione di altri sensi.L'analisi del testo mette in evidenza una profonda sfiducia nella parola umana ritenuta strutturalmente incapace di inadatta a comunicare l'esperienza visionaria.
Per questo motivo assume importanza l'adozione di immagini miniate, disegnate dalla stessa Ildegarda, al fine di supplire ai limiti del linguaggio degli uomini.

Bubble-acoustic emissions: a tool for metallurgical process feedback?

description: Bubbles are sparged into molten metals in several metallurgical processes. Audible and often very loud sounds are generated by the formation and volumetric vibration of bubbles. Anedoctal evidence from plant operators is that there is a relation between the perceived quality of these noises and the process performance. However, translating this concept to practice is challenging and should benefit from a deeper understanding of the physics of bubble sound emission.
La lettura emozionale in Bernardo di Clairvaux

Year: 2008

description: L'articolo si propone di mostrare come il sermo esegetico bernardiano sia volto all'amplificazione della dimensione emotiva, amplificazione che determina un'emergenza di senso rispetto al normale livello di comunicazione: la parola, nell'ermeneutica di Bernardo, non è segno linguistico il cui significato sia univocamente coglibile dall'intelletto, ma, caricandosi della sua materialità, dilata e moltiplica retoricamente gli echi emotivi che può produrre, dischiudendo nella dimensione affettiva la sua verità.
Lo stile retorico di Bernardo viene quindi analizzato attraverso l'elaborazione di una metodologia di lettura che, riproducendo graficamente la struttura sintattica di alcuni passi dei Sermones super Cantica Canticorum e ispirandosi al principio guida della priorità degli affetti (affermato da Bernardo stesso), consente di sottoporre a verifica l'ipotesi iniziale.

description: Why are almost half of the over 65’s within Australia (45%) not using information communication technology (ICT) (ABS 2018)? Analysis of 255 surveys revealed older Australians are not utilising ICT to its full capacity and are missing many opportunities that could enhance their quality of life. Results found key impediments to ICT use among older Australians are fear of the technology, lack of self-confidence, lack of skills, and not understanding the benefits of ICT. Outcomes suggest a streamlining of the supply chain between communication network providers, internet service providers and technology retail outlets is needed, along with a more forward thinking approach to digital learning and delivery by collaborators to reduce these barriers.

description: Research in psychotherapy has shown that the frequency of use of specific classes of words (such as terms with emotional valence) in descriptions of scenes of affective relevance is a possible indicator of psychological affective functioning. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we investigated the neural correlates of these linguistic markers in narrative texts depicting core aspects of emotional experience in human interaction, and their modulation by individual differences in the propensity to use these markers. Emotional words activated both lateral and medial aspects of the prefrontal cortex, as in previous studies of instructed emotion regulation and in consistence with recruitment of effortful control processes. However, individual differences in the spontaneous use of emotional terms in characterizing the stimulus material were prevalently associated with modulation of the signal in the perigenual cortex, in the retrosplenial cortex and precuneus, and the anterior insula/ventrolateral prefrontal cortex. Modulation of signal by the presence of these textual markers or individual differences mostly involved areas deactivated by the main task, thus further differentiating neural correlates of these appraisal styles from those associated with effortful control. These findings are discussed in the context of reports in the literature of modulations of deactivations, which suggest their importance in orienting attention and generation of response in the presence of emotional information. These findings suggest that deactivations may play a functional role in emotional appraisal and may contribute to characterizing different appraisal styles.

description: Interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs 1, 2 and 3) can restrict viral pathogens, but pro- and anti-viral activities have been reported for coronaviruses. Here, we show that artificial overexpression of IFITMs blocks SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, endogenous IFITM expression supports efficient infection of SARS-CoV-2 in human lung cells. Our results indicate that the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein interacts with IFITMs and hijacks them for efficient viral infection. IFITM proteins were expressed and further induced by interferons in human lung, gut, heart and brain cells. IFITM-derived peptides and targeting antibodies inhibit SARS-CoV-2 entry and replication in human lung cells, cardiomyocytes and gut organoids. Our results show that IFITM proteins are cofactors for efficient SARS-CoV-2 infection of human cell types representing in vivo targets for viral transmission, dissemination and pathogenesis and are potential targets for therapeutic approaches.

description: A novel vertical transition through a multilayer printed circuit board is presented. The transition is designed to fulfill the cost and manufacturing constraints of next generation automotive radar sensors. This is achieved both by employing FR4 as material in the transition core and the fabrication in a standard high density interconnect process. The modified design of a quasi-coaxial structure solves the limitations determined by the constraints. Although FR4 has high dielectric losses, a vertical transition through multiple FR4 layers is realized with a low insertion loss of less than 2.1 dB within the automotive radar frequency range of 76 GHz to 81 GHz. A return loss better than 10 dB is achieved up to a frequency of 83.2 GHz. The reliability and repeatability of the transition is shown by measurements of several transitions from different production cycles.
description: Es wird ein neuartiger vertikaler Übergang durch eine mehrlagige Leiterplatte vorgestellt. Der Übergang ist so konzipiert, dass er die Kosten- und Fertigungsanforderungen der nächsten Generation von Kfz-Radarsensoren erfüllt. Dies wird sowohl durch die Verwendung von FR4 als Leiterplattenmaterial als auch durch die Herstellung in einem HDI Standard-Verfahren erreicht. Das Design einer quasi-koaxialen Struktur löst die Einschränkungen, die sich aus diesen Anforderungen ergeben. Obwohl FR4 hohe dielektrische Verluste aufweist, wird ein vertikaler Übergang durch mehrere FR4-Schichten mit einer geringen Einfügedämpfung von weniger als 2,1 dB im Automobilradar-Frequenzbereich von 76 GHz bis 81 GHz realisiert. Eine Rückflussdämpfung von mehr als 10 dB wird bis zu einer Frequenz von 83,2 GHz erreicht. Die Zuverlässigkeit und Wiederholbarkeit des Übergangs wird durch Messungen an mehreren Übergängen aus verschiedenen Produktionszyklen nachgewiesen.

Un possibile percorso delle influenze agostiniane sul pensiero contemporaneo

description: In alcuni settori della riflessione filosofica contemporanea appare evidente una sorta di ritorno ad Agostino, per sottolineare una componente affettiva, nella conoscenza umana, accanto alla componente intellettuale.
Dal punto di vista storico si tratta di comprendere se i temi ripresi siano autenticamente agostiniani o siano piuttosto caratteristici di una tradizione nata dalla crisi del paradigma agostiniano e sviluppatasi in particolar modo nel pensiero monastico e mistico.
La dottrina agostiniana della conoscenza non individua infatti né distinzione, né gerarchia tra le facoltà dell'anima; mentre l'accentuazione di una sorta di supremazia dell'amore rispetto all'intelligenza, analitica e calcolante, risulta ancora, secondo l'autore, una forma di accettazione del modello cartesiano di ragione.

description: Mitochondria are involved in many cellular processes and their main role is cellular energy production. They constantly undergo fission and fusion, and these counteracting processes are under strict balance. The cytosolic dynamin-related protein 1, Drp1, or dynamin-1-like protein (DNM1L) mediates mitochondrial and peroxisomal division. Defects in the DNM1L gene result in a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with heterogeneous symptoms affecting multiple organ systems. Currently there is no curative treatment available for this condition. We have previously described a patient with a de novo heterozygous c.1084G>A (p.G362S) DNM1L mutation and studied the effects of a small molecule, bezafibrate, on mitochondrial functions in this patient’s fibroblasts compared to controls. Bezafibrate normalized growth on glucose-free medium, as well as ATP production and oxygen consumption. It improved mitochondrial morphology in the patient’s fibroblasts, although causing a mild increase in ROS production at the same time. A human foreskin fibroblast cell line overexpressing the p.G362S mutation showed aberrant mitochondrial morphology, which normalized in the presence of bezafibrate. Further studies would be needed to show the consistency of the response to bezafibrate, possibly using fibroblasts from patients with different mutations in DNM1L, and this treatment should be confirmed in clinical trials. However, taking into account the favorable effects in our study, we suggest that bezafibrate could be offered as a treatment option for patients with certain DNM1L mutations.

description: Given the significant energy consumption of data centers, improving their energy efficiency is an important social problem. However, energy efficiency is necessary but not sufficient for sustainability, which demands reduced usage of energy from fossil fuels. This paper investigates the feasibility of powering internet-scale systems using (nearly) entirely renewable energy. We perform a trace-based study to evaluate three issues related to achieving this goal: the impact of geographical load balancing, the role of storage, and the optimal mix of renewables. Our results highlight that geographical load balancing can significantly reduce the required capacity of renewable energy by using the energy more efficiently with 'follow the renewables' routing. Further, our results show that small-scale storage can be useful, especially in combination with geographical load balancing, and that an optimal mix of renewables includes significantly more wind than photovoltaic solar.

description: This report aims at summarizing the current activities around OWL, the Web Ontology Language. At first, the report will present details about the current effort towards a revision of the official OWL W3C recommendation, known as OWL 1.1. Secondly, it describes a selection of inference engines while discussing different approaches as well as conceptual limits. These systems are then empirically evaluated using a set of spot tests which are intentionally designed to be hard to solve but small in size. Thirdly, it discusses actual trends and forthcoming developments in the context of ontology development and ontology reasoning. As a whole this report tries to provide some insights into currently available reasoning systems in order to serve as a decision help for Semantic Web application designers.
NTSC in-band data broadcasting using OFDM.

description: The Teletext standard sends data during the VBI (Vertical Blanking Interval) portion of an analogue NTSC (National Television System Committee) video signal and has a bit rate in the order of 150 kbps. More recently, digital data broadcasting systems using a modulation scheme from the PSK family have been implemented. In these systems, the digital carrier is strategically placed within the active portion of the video signal in order to minimise the interference into the video signal. These techniques offer bit rates up to 525 kbps. This thesis introduces a new technique for transmitting data using the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation scheme, within the NTSC television signal. This technique allows a greater data throughput, while still maintaining the picture quality at an acceptable level. With OFDM, the spectrum can be shaped according to a specific set of rules, for example, the subcarriers that overlap with the NTSC spectral components can be set to zero. The data signal is inserted in the vestigial sideband of the video signal. The advantages of this implementation are that the shape of the data spectrum minimises the degradation of the picture quality and increases the noise margin of the data signal. Two approaches are taken to evaluate the performance of this system. In the first one, computer simulations are used to determine the available bit rate by varying the number of carriers. Bit error rate measurements are also done to evaluate the performance of the system when the data signal is combined with the NTSC television signal. In the second approach, the perceptual impact is determined, using accepted subjective assessment methodology, when varying levels of OFDM carriers are injected into the NTSC signal. The results show that the proposed system has the potential to offer higher data rate throughput than existing system, with negligible impact on the NTSC picture quality.

description: Il bambino come incarnazione di una libertà nuova a cui aspira l'uomo dell'Ottocento. Alla luce di tale evidenza, a partire dal valore nuovo che Rousseau attribuisce all'educazione del bambino e dalla creazione, da parte di Hugo, del personaggio di Gavroche, “gamin de Paris,” birichino o ragazzo di strada autonomo e sovversivo, ma innocente e libero, sono qui analizzate diverse immagini o figure trasgressive del bambino nella narrativa europea dell'Ottocento: da Twain alla Sand, da Flaubert a Dickens, da Andersen a Collodi e al suo immortale, monello per eccellenza, Pinocchio.

description: Organisations today face unprecedented levels of change with organisational transformation being the norm. Effective change relies on many factors working in sync. Past research identifies numerous individual factors (such as managers’ Psychological Capital) as well as organisational factors (such as the type of leadership behaviour) likely to impact on employees’ acceptance of change. Additionally, research into the contextual public-sector factors such as austerity-driven policy can also impact managers’ resistance to, or acceptance of change. Together these factors impact on organisational change in Australian public sector organisations (PSOs), showing the complexities involved in implementing organisational change.
description: The methodology used in this study was a comparative case study research design. The methods used to collect data included document reviews, and interviews with employees to ascertain their perspective about what factors affect their decisions to resist or accept change The relevance and consequences of the findings were interpreted using a mix of public administration theory and especially behavioural public administration. This research identified the role of austerity under the guise of efficiency and effectiveness goals as a major factor affecting how managers responded to organisational change. To deliver on these themes, policymakers and public managers were tasked to redefine service delivery options. These considerations have created layers of complexity that affect managers’ acceptance or resistance of reforms. The study has proposed a model based on the notion that the impact of policy implementation progresses through several phases. The underlying assumption of the model is that diverse factors, attributes (corporate and individuals) are responsible for different stages of the process and therefore impact the change outcome.
