Bodily Expression of Emotions in Animated Pedagogical Agents
Creators: name: Meyer, Zachary R
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Computer graphics

description: The goal of this research is to identify key affective body gestures that can clearly convey four emotions, namely happy, content, bored, and frustrated, in animated characters that lack facial features. Two studies were conducted, a first to identify affective body gestures from a series of videos, and a second to validate the gestures as representative of the four emotions. Videos were created using motion capture data of four actors portraying the four targeted emotions and mapping the data to two 3D character models, one male and one female. In the first study the researcher identified body gestures that are commonly produced by individuals when they experience each of the four emotions being tested. Each body gesture was then annotated with descriptions of the movements using the FABO database. In the second study the researcher tested four sets of identified body gestures, one set for each emotion. The animated gestures were mapped to the 3D character models and 91 participants were asked to identify the emotional state conveyed by the characters through the body gestures. The participants were also asked to rate intensity, typicality, and sincerity for each emotion using a 5-point Likert scale. The study identified six gestures that were shown to have an acceptable recognition rate of at least 80% for three of the four emotions tested. Content was the only emotion which was not conveyed clearly by the identified body gestures. The gender of the character and the participants’ age were found to have a significant effect on recognition rates for the emotions.

It explores the connections between literary studies and disability studies and explains how literary studies can contribute to social justice goals.
THE LOOPER CO-CREATION METHODOLOGY: ENHANCING URBAN TRANSFORMATION THROUGH PARTICIPATORY SENSING AND URBAN LIVING LABS IN LEARNING LOOPS
Creators: name: SCANAGATTA, CHIARA
Publisher: name: Universit� IUAV di Venezia
Year: 2020

description: My research aims to test how the participatory co-creation methodology can help to solve different urban issues, and wants to show some practicalities to organisers about how to set up a Urban Living Lab to involve stakeholders in a co-creation process. This research involved both the study of the state of the art, but also some practical work to experience which are the positive results and found criticalities.
The study of the state of the art gave me a more complete comprehension of the situation in which my research is framed, and it included: the Scandinavian ?cooperative design? in the ?60s; De Carlo participatory design of the Terni project; the concept of ?Participatory design? in the USA during the ?70s; Siza and the SAAL process in the ?70s; the ?User-centred design? concept by Donald Dorman in the ?80s; the idea of ?Participatory budgeting? in Portugal from the 2000 on.
The methodology has been that of ?practice-led?. In my work, I applied the co-creation methodology in different urban environments to: check which practices can be considered good or bad; cross data collected from the state of the art and the field research; compare collected data.
The research I have done focused on an European Research Project, funded under the JPI Urban Europe, called LOOPER (Learning Loops in the Public Realm) which applies the learning loop to the co-design process. A comparison background case was used as well: the planning of the City of Sports in San Don� di Piave (Italy).
This research has the ambition of creating a new way of decision-making which brings together all stakeholders, including policymakers, that iteratively learn how to address urban challenges. This then results in an implemented co-design process since stakeholders in the end are called to evaluate what they have done.
Future implementations of my research would allow the creation of a complete set of guidelines that can be used to solve different urban issues, by triggering the co-creation methodology applied within Urban Living Labs.

Living apart: pratiche di urbanizzazione in territori contesi. Il caso di Cape Town
Creators: name: ALTAMORE, SARA
Publisher: name: Universit� IUAV di Venezia
Year: 2021

description: La ricerca di dottorato indaga le pratiche interne ai processi di urbanizzazione nelle township della citt� di Cape Town, in Sudafrica. La domanda di ricerca esplora come gli attori (istituzionalizzati e non), agenti nei processi di urbanizzazione e nei tentativi di consolidamento dell?urbano, affrontano le questioni problematiche nella lotta quotidiana per ottenere migliori condizioni di vita in contesti di pervasiva marginalit�. Questa domanda � finalizzata a comprendere in che modo queste azioni rispondono ? o meno ? alle questioni urgenti sulle disuguaglianze urbane e come si relazionano ? se lo fanno ? alle politiche che incontrano nel loro svolgersi. Lo scopo dell?indagine � quello di tracciare le modalit� di attivazione e azione dei soggetti dal campo nei contesti urbani marginali e leggerle in relazione all?impianto delle politiche, per offrire un contributo conoscitivo e metodologico per la costruzione di politiche istituzionali. Lo studio si inserisce all?interno del pi� ampio dibattito accademico sui territori connotati da forme spazializzate di marginalizzazione politica, sociale, economica e culturale (McFarlane e Silver 2017; Oldfield e Stokke 2006; Pieterse 2018; Watson 2006).

L?approccio metodologico adottato � di tipo qualitativo e si avvale dell?osservazione partecipante, raccolta di storie, conversazioni informali e interviste semi-strutturate come principali fonti di conoscenza. La scelta di metodo � finalizzata a restituire i processi urbani in atto, le prassi degli attori coinvolti, gli usi informali e le pratiche della vita quotidiana. Allo stesso tempo, ho assunto un atteggiamento autoriflessivo sull?azione di ricerca, per mettere in luce i limiti e i punti di forza di un approccio di questo tipo.
Nello specifico, ho analizzato pratiche collettive inerenti a tre processi che caratterizzano l?attuale urbanizzazione del Sudafrica e che, nella loro eterogeneit�, costituiscono pratiche di produzione fisica e sociale dei luoghi marginali. Queste sono: (i) pratiche abitative relative all?ottenimento e l?ampliamento della dimora; (ii) pratiche urbane attorno un teatro informale a Khayelitsha, lette in relazione all?insediamento informale in cui sorge; ed infine (iii) pratiche istituzionalizzate per riqualificare dal basso un insediamento informale, a partire dalla costruzione collettiva di servizi per la comunit�.

In conclusione, viene sostenuta la tesi per la quale, le crescenti disuguaglianze urbane ? lette come disequilibri di potere ? possono trovare risposte attraverso un approccio macro-strategico delle politiche di sviluppo e integrazione territoriale inclusivo rispetto le agency presenti sul territorio e gi� attivatori di processi. Al riguardo la tesi fornisce possibili piste di metodo e di contenuto.

Off-center. Citizen initiatives between institutionalization and innovation. Evidences from case studies in Slovakia and France.
Creators: name: CAMPAGNARI, FRANCESCO
Publisher: name: Universit� IUAV di Venezia
Year: 2020

description: In the last decades citizen initiatives of urban action have received extensive attention by scholars for their divergence from highly formalized planning routines, their innovative logics and ways of engaging with city making and with citizens? unformalized needs. These initiatives of reappropriation have often been regarded by urban scholars as open processes of emergent sensemaking and spaces of freedom, opposed to the institutionalized nature of public administrations. However, current urban theories on the transformative nature of citizen initiatives present an overly optimistic stance, assuming them devoid of institutionalized and oppressive dimensions. Furthermore, these conclusions are drawn from empirical research limited to the initial phases of these initiatives. Considering institutionalization incipient in every social situation con�tinuing in time, the research aims at exploring the institutionalization of citizen initiatives, their learning and innovation processes and the effects of these phenomena on their urban actions, public services and internal democratic practices. The first level of analysis of the research explores synchronically and diachronically two citizen initiatives in France and Slovakia active for two decades. In the second level the thesis explores the engagement of these two initiatives with new problematic situations - specifically two processes of urban transformation - to observe the learning and innovation effects they generate. Adopting a perspective influenced by grounded, internalist, situated, value-critical and dialogical perspectives, the research illustrates that while these initiatives develop processes of habitualization and institutionalization, but they still present a certain level of flexibility; they institute values, routines, roles, practices, knowledges and operations of production of public services that are politically alternative, therefore creating alternative institutions. The thesis also argues that, in a cyclical loop, they can de-institutionalize or suspend part of their routines to tackle new problematic situations, allowing the inclusion of heterodox approaches in their operations. While they have difficulties in absorbing innovations in their institutional dimensions, these de-institutionalized spaces constitute innovative milieux from which other actors can learn and transfer innovations to other initiatives and contexts. Tackling these research themes, the thesis contributes to debates in planning theory and public policy, developing theoretical reflections on the relation between citizen initiatives, institutions and innovation, on the publicization of problems, on the institutionalization of direct action as a strategy to face problematic situations by citizens and on new analytical approaches to radical planning theory.

Catalysis and mechanisms of reactions

description: An original palladium-catalyzed ring opening carbonylative lactonization of synthetic available hydroxycyclopropanols was reported to efficiently synthesize tetrahydrofuran (THF) and tetrahydropyran (THP)-fused bicyclic γ-lactones, two unique scaffolds often found in quite a few natural products. This new developed reaction features mild reaction conditions, good functional group tolerability, and the scale-up abilities. The synthetic application was demonstrated in a short total synthesis of (±)-Paeonilide. The THF-fused bicyclic γ-lactone products can be readily diversified into some medicinally important structures, which further broadens the application of this new carbonylation approach. The first total synthesis of Phleghenrine A was reported. This synthesis features an unprecedented inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction and Tiffeneau-Demjanov ring expansion to rapidly construct bicyclo[3,2,2]-nonane core structure of Phleghenrine alkaloids. Two Diels-Alder adducts were synthesized, which were the synthetic precursors for divergent synthesis of Phleghenrine A and B, respectively.

description: At present, caused by a large amount of wave energy resources and huge energy capacity, the development and utilization of wave energy have come to be an essential development focus of wave energy manufacturing. The purpose of this research is to simulate the ocean in an offshore environment. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was used to analyze the propagation of ocean waves. The Volume of Fluid (VOF) multiphase model and laminar model were used to analyze wave propagation in offshore conditions. Function Methodology and Mobile Methodology were implemented by applying User Defined Function (UDF) code which characterizes transient velocity profile. The parametric study was performed to analyze how velocity and amplitude change. The models were first validated by comparing them with previous analytical wave solutions. To prevent the reflection of the wave, a damping term was added by using User Define Function to define the viscosity of the water phase.

Il paesaggio agrario italiano. Tecnologia e racconto
Creators: name: FILIPPI, LUCA
Publisher: name: Universit� IUAV di Venezia
Year: 2020

description: La tesi indaga attraverso l?opera di tre autori classici del riformismo agrario italiano ? Simonde de Sismondi, Carlo Cattaneo, Emilio Sereni ? una specifica forma di racconto geografico agrario del territorio. Un racconto declinato, nei tre autori, in tre differenti stili di analisi che condividono una centralit� dell?approccio morfologico: la lettura elementarista e sistemica di Sismondi, la lettura stratigrafica di Cattaneo, lo sguardo paesaggistico e strutturalista di Sereni. La tesi decostruisce queste tre strategie analitiche e discorsive rintracciando in esse una medesima ipotesi di ricerca: indagare nelle forme della costruzione materiale e sociale del territorio il dispiegarsi di un determinato paradigma economico politico di sviluppo delle campagne. Paradigmi, ancora oggi centrali nel progetto e nella riflessione sullo sviluppo rurale, che i tre autori contribuiscono in maniera determinante a codificare attraverso la loro lettura ravvicinata di tre laboratori regionali: Toscana, Lombardia, Emilia.
Accanto a questa marcata capacit� di lettura delle forme della costruzione materiale e sociale dello spazio, emerge in questa tradizione analitica una specifica tensione alla figurazione in grado di produrre pervasive immagini della ruralit�. Uno sforzo visivo che contribuisce a riflettere e veicolare precisi valori e temi ideologici agganciati al pensiero economico politico dei tre autori e conferisce una dimensione progettuale alla loro lettura territoriale. Un asse di questi racconti che la tesi indaga attraverso una analogia con la tradizione pittorica coeva decostruendo tre potenti e paradigmatiche immagini della ruralit� ? pervasive anche al di fuori della cultura italiana ? che possono essere lette come fondative di una genealogia, tutta interna alla tradizione del riformismo agrario, della spessa iconografia del paesaggio agrario italiano.
La tesi avanza infine alcune conclusioni circa l?attualit� di questa caratteristica forma del racconto di territorio mettendola a confronto con le due opposte narrazioni che alimentano oggi la riflessione intorno alla transizione ecologica delle tecnologie e dei sistemi agrari: da un lato, una nuova ruralit� contadina che recupera e aggiorna tecniche colturali e paesaggi storici, dall?altro lato, una inedita modernit� ecologica che integra sviluppo tecnologico intensivo ed estesa rinaturalizzazione. Emerge in questo confronto una rimozione profonda di quella capacit� del riformismo agrario di leggere nella materialit� e spazialit� di un determinato sistema agrario, nei rapporti sociali che ne governano la costruzione e riproduzione, nella dialettica storica e conflittuale di cui � esito, un complesso progetto insieme tecnologico, sociale ed estetico.

description: Throughout the last century, energetic materials have been subject to drop weight impact tests to measure their sensitivity, with which material’s properties are correlated to their impact sensitivity. However, there is little research that focuses on utilizing the piezoelectric effect to control the sensitivity of energetics. Piezoelectricity is the effect of an electric charge accumulating due to an applied mechanical stress. It is demonstrated in previous work that fluoropolymers such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) contribute to higher sensitivity in nanocomposite energetic materials through their piezoelectric properties. This property can be amplified in fluoropolymers in the beta (β) phase through polling methods and can be quantitatively analyzed by the piezoelectric coefficient (d33). This research is focused on characterizing the effect of piezoelectricity on the impact sensitivity and ignition delay of nAl/PVDF-TrFE composites through the presence of varied d33 coefficients. The composite films were fabricated with the tape casting method with 85 μm thickness. The content of nAl was limited to 10 wt% in order to sustain feasible poling. Poling was achieved without any further manipulation of the composition so that a direct comparison could be observed. The magnitude of effect that the piezoelectric coefficient has on an energetic composite was discovered. The samples that had no d33 value were 8% less sensitive and experienced longer ignition delay times compared to the poled samples. This work proved that impact sensitivity and ignition delay can be manipulated through poling methods. This concept of controlling the sensitivity of energetic materials can be used to develop more customizable composites in the future.

description: Il presente studio approfondisce e analizza il comfort e la qualit� globale degli ambienti interni negli edifici residenziali, basandosi sul protocollo di certificazione WELL Building Standard. Il WELL Building Standard pone al centro dell?attenzione le condizioni di salute e benessere psicofisico di chi occupa un dato spazio costruito. I concetti alla base della certificazione WELL possono essere applicati a tutti i settori dell?edilizia, e a tutte le destinazioni d?uso degli edifici: terziario, istruzione, ospedaliero e al settore residenziale.
Questo studio mira a: studiare i parametri e concetti alla base del protocollo WELL che definiscono la qualit� e il comfort negli ambienti interni; studiare i sondaggi esistenti Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE); e dopo un?attenta analisi, sviluppare un sondaggio post-occupativo residenziale sulla base dei concetti del protocollo WELL Building Standard.
Nella prima parte del lavoro sono stati approfonditi i dieci concetti del protocollo WELL come: Aria, Acqua, Alimentazione, Luce, Fitness, Comfort, Mente, Materiali, Comunit�; i sondaggi esistenti (POE); i sondaggi esistenti pre-approvati da WELL; e infine le tematiche del comfort termico e di qualit� dell?aria negli edifici residenziali.
Nella seconda parte dello studio � stato sviluppato il progetto di ricerca definendo i metodi, le procedure e tempistiche, i tipi di analisi da condurre, individuando i partecipanti e casi studio, e delineando gli strumenti di misura utilizzati per condurre la ricerca. La parte finale di questa ricerca ha previsto una campagna di misurazioni fisiche all?interno degli ambienti di studio, per analizzare e comparare i dati provenienti dai sondaggi in modo da verificare l?influenza degli occupanti nella percezione dei parametri indoor.
Nell?ultima parte sono implementati e descritti i tipi di analisi e i risultati ottenuti.

description: Gas hydrates, ice-like substances that consist of natural gas and water, are found beneath extensive areas of the seafloor worldwide along continental shelves. Aotearoa New Zealand’s gas hydrate provinces host a broad array of hydrate occurrences, particularly along the Hikurangi Margin, offshore eastern Te Ika-a-Māui North Island. In recent years, conventional oil and gas exploration has progressed into deeper offshore waters, necessitating drilling through gas hydrates for future production. Gas hydrates are also being directly investigated as potential energy resources elsewhere around the world. Given that gas hydrate systems influence
the stability, chemistry and biology of seafloor environments, these recent developments emphasise the need to assess the potential environmental impacts associated with extracting natural gas from or beneath gas hydrates. The five-year (2017–2022) HYDrates, Economic opportunities, and Environmental implications (HYDEE) research programme was funded to address this knowledge gap with three research aims. These focused on characterising the complexity of geological processes controlling gas hydrate formation and distribution, as well as the challenges associated with economic production. An additional research aim sought to understand the socio-economic implications of potential gas hydrate production in Aotearoa New Zealand. During this research, we considered the opportunities and concerns of both Māori communities and the wider public within the context of future energy markets and the transition to a low-carbon energy landscape. Recognising the cultural values of Māori communities and involving them in resource management discussions were highlighted as key factors for sustainable development and growth of Māori economies. The multi-disciplinary HYDEE programme comprised eight Aotearoa New Zealand organisations and nine international partners (Figure 1.4). From 2017–2023, six research voyages were completed (Table 1.2). Four of these were supported through the HYDEE programme, one of which was co-funded by the United States of America (USA) National Science Foundation and one jointly supported by HYDEE and the European EUROFLEETS+ programme, with two further voyages carried out in collaboration with researchers from the USA-led SAFFRONZ programme. Furthermore, the programme benefitted from the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) scientific drilling Expedition 372 in the northern Hikurangi Margin (auths)

description: La prima pubblicazione di ?Exodus, or the voluntary prisoners of architecture? (Giugno ?73) precede di pochi anni la fondazione, da parte degli stessi autori, dello studio OMA.
Oggi le considerazioni teoriche e le immagini di ?Exodus? meritano ancora l?attenzione di quanti si interrogano sul futuro delle citt�, della disciplina e dell?ambiente antropico in senso pi� ampio.
Poliedrico, capace di stimolare trasversalmente curiosit� e immaginazione degli osservatori, ?Exodus? � stato pi� volte analizzato dalla critica con molteplici chiavi di lettura (filosofiche, letterarie, antropologiche, politiche, sociali), ma non sempre da un punto di vista strettamente architettonico.
L'obiettivo di questa ricerca � l?approfondimento dello studio in tal senso.
Il metodo usato si basa sull?analisi dei documenti.

Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Wind energy is recognized as a sustainable source of energy that is both reliable and capable of dramatically reducing pollution to the environment and dependency on non-renewable fuels, leading to research on wind turbines. Nowadays, the demand for electricity increases. Considering that the greater the distance from shore, the greater the wind, more electricity will be generated along the coast. It is necessary and beneficial to study large scale offshore wind turbines. The National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) 5-MW offshore wind turbine is simulated using a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model in this article. A realizable k-ε viscous model is used to simulate turbulence flow. The work is validated by comparing the torque with published simulated data, and satisfied consistency is observed. Further simulation and comprehensive analysis demonstrate the flow features and aerodynamic performances of 5-MW offshore wind turbine under various wind and rotor speeds. The velocity profiles, total pressure distribution, pressure coefficient, rotor thrust, torque and aerodynamic properties are obtained in detail.

Subjects: subject: Economic and Monetary Union
subject: Union économique et monétaire
subject: European Commission
subject: Commission européenne
subject: Euro Area Governance
subject: Gouvernance de la zone euro
subject: European Finance Minister
subject: Ministre des Finances européen

description: This contribution begins with a summary of the current state of euro area governance in the context of crisis management, the European semester, and banking union in order to appreciate the ramification of consolidating some of these roles into a single post. It continues with an overview of how thinking about a European Finance Minister has changed over the last few years, followed by the current Commission proposal. The final section analyses the potential impact of a European Finance Minister on euro area governance. The post would primarily have a coordinating role unless additional budgetary resources are allotted to the accompanying European Finance Ministry and/or the policy instruments themselves are reformed. Pursuing the creation of this post should be postponed until the larger issues related to the budget (both its size and how it would be used) are settled.
Czechoslovakia: Remembering and forgetting the failures of a state
Creators: name: Heimann, Mary
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Abstract: It is a rare thing for an historian to have access to sources which chart the entire history of a state, from planned creation to pre-meditated extinction. Nor is every state’s constitutional and political history as varied as that of Czechoslovakia, which was founded on 28 October 1918 and ceased to exist at midnight on 31 December 1992. Czechoslovakia’s experience can be seen as a compressed history of twentieth-century Europe and the many ways the modern state has been imagined. During its relatively brief existence, Czechoslovakia was federalized, centralised, dissolved, reconstituted, re-centralized and re-federalized; it also went from military dictatorship to parliamentary democracy; from authoritarian democracy to Nazi colony; from people’s democracy to Soviet satellite; and from Communist dictatorship and command economy to democracy and the free market. In 2009, Yale University Press brought out a comprehensively revisionist history, Czechoslovakia: The State That Failed, the first full account of the state to be written by an outsider. This chapter tells the story of how the book first came to be researched and written by the present author, why its publication in 2009 caused such a furore, and why former dissidents insisted, ten years later, in bringing out a Czech-language edition.

Le dighe del Belice. L'acqua e la pianificazione organica
Creators: name: ASMUNDO, GIOVANNI
Publisher: name: Universit� IUAV di Venezia
Year: 2021

description: La tesi affronta il caso studio del progetto per le dighe Jato e Garcia richieste dalla popolazione in un processo promosso da Danilo Dolci e dai Centri Studi e Iniziative per la Piena Occupazione, nel contesto della Sicilia occidentale degli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta.
Dolci coinvolge direttamente le popolazioni locali in un progetto partecipato, definito pianificazione dal basso, per richiedere le grandi infrastrutture idriche alle autorit�, allo scopo di ottenere l?accesso democratico all?acqua come motore di sviluppo in una zona arida ed estremamente depressa.
Queste condizioni di siccit� e di arretratezza economica non solo risultano gi� diffuse allo stato attuale nel contesto del bacino Mediterraneo e in numerose aree del mondo, ma potrebbero estendersi notevolmente nello scenario di crisi dovuta ai cambiamenti climatici. Le aree marginali o depresse saranno esposte ai maggiori rischi idrologici, in quanto prive di risorse economiche per affrontare la crisi idrica che si verificher�, secondo i pi� accreditati scenari, intorno al 2050.
La tesi propone una ricostruzione organica dell?esperienza in Sicilia occidentale, ricomponendo in un unico processo le vicende delle dighe Jato e Garcia e indagandone le ricadute trasformative sul paesaggio dal progetto a oggi. L?obiettivo � di mostrare come il caso del progetto dal basso per le dighe del Belice risulti un esempio riuscito di avvio di uno sviluppo locale autonomo su base partecipativa, a partire da un?infrastrutturazione idraulica a grande scala pianificata insieme alla popolazione. Per questa ragione, l?analisi del caso studio pu� contribuire ad arricchire il campo delle soluzioni sostenibili per le modalit� di intervento in zone aride arretrate.
La ricerca ricostruisce i metodi e l?evoluzione del processo di pianificazione organica dal basso di Dolci e dei Centri Studi, allo scopo di individuare strumenti e strategie potenzialmente applicabili in contesti fragili caratterizzati da condizioni simili alla sub-regione di intervento, mettendo in luce l?evoluzione e il valore di un percorso partecipato originale nella cultura urbanistica italiana degli anni Cinquanta-Sessanta.
Legitimising the Ephemeral: The Exhibition Magazine as Epitome of the Contemporary
Creators: name: SALVANESCHI, CAMILLA
Publisher: name: Universit� IUAV di Venezia
Year: 2021

description: The dissertation focuses on the magazines published by biennial exhibitions, herein called
exhibition magazines. Departing from the analysis of the periodic relationship between
magazines and biennials, I look at the two formats in tandem, as temporal constructions?
whose existence extends between the past and the future, whilst existing in the present?in a
continuous tension between becoming (ephemerality) and unbecoming (institutionalisation),
which is, I argue, the very feature that allows them to engage with contemporary art and
contemporaneity?s own becoming.
Representing the dual drive between becoming and unbecoming, the exhibition magazine
serves to disseminate the biennial through space and time, acting not only as a promotional
tool, but as a vehicle through which the exhibition?s temporality is narrowed and transformed
to engage with contemporaneity and audience.
I depart from an historical-chronological perspective to consider the first three exhibition
magazines: la biennale published by the Venice Biennale between 1950 and 1971, the
documenta journals which have been revived with different formats at every new iteration of
the show since 1997, and the Manifesta Journal published by Manifesta between 2003 and
2014.
Building on the case studies, alongside a practice-based approach comprising of the
development of an art periodical database and the launch of a journal devoted to the study of
art?s ostensivity and exhibitions, titled OBOE (On Biennals and Other Exhibitions), I have
been able to demonstrate the intricate?at times submissive, at others mutinous?relationship
between magazines and biennials and how they both come to define contemporary art and
engage with contemporaneity?s demands. Indeed, I argue that while these magazines are a
niche within the niche of art periodical studies, they have become exemplary in representing
the relation of mutual servitude between magazines and the art system at large.
Efficient Computation of Reeb Spaces and First Homology Groups
Creators: name: Percival, Sarah B

Subjects: Pure mathematics not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis studies problems in computational topology through the lens of semi-algebraic geometry. We first give an algorithm for computing a semi-algebraic basis for the first homology group, H1(S,F), with coefficients in a field F, of any given semi-algebraic set S⊂Rk defined by a closed formula. The complexity of the algorithm is bounded singly exponentially. More precisely, if the given quantifier-free formula involves s polynomials whose degrees are bounded by d, the complexity of the algorithm is bounded by (sd)kO(1).This algorithm generalizes well known algorithms having singly exponential complexity for computing a semi-algebraic basis of the zero-th homology group of semi-algebraic sets, which is equivalent to the problem of computing a set of points meeting every semi-algebraically connected component of the given semi-algebraic set at a unique point. We then turn our attention to the Reeb graph, a tool from Morse theory which has recently found use in applied topology due to its ability to track the changes in connectivity of level sets of a function. The roadmap of a set, a construction that arises in semi-algebraic geometry, is a one-dimensional set that encodes information about the connected components of a set. In this thesis, we show that the Reeb graph and, more generally, the Reeb space, of a semi-algebraic set is homeomorphic to a semi-algebraic set, which opens up the algorithmic problem of computing a semi-algebraic description of the Reeb graph. We present an algorithm with singly-exponential complexity that realizes the Reeb graph of a function f:X→Y as a semi-algebraic quotient using the roadmap of X with respect to f.

Dove vuoi andare? Il processo di costruzione del senso di casa dei giovani migranti non accompagnati a Milano tra politiche pubbliche e pratiche di regolazione informale
Creators: name: COLUCCI, SIMONA

description: Il lavoro di ricerca sui minori stranieri non accompagnati, in due diverse comunit� a Milano, riguarda le forme in cui il sistema di accoglienza media la costruzione delle reti sociali dei migranti e quali effetti questo produce sul mondo in cui gli stessi costruiscono un progressivo rapporto con il contesto in cui si trovano a vivere. Come fanno, in altre parole, a sentirsi a casa. In questo processo, che coinvolge sia ambiti spaziali che relazionali, le comunit� e le la rete dei servizi locali giocano un ruolo cruciale. Secondo Ambrosini (2011), infatti, forme di regolazione micro-sociale e informale tendono ad emergere laddove l?azione di altri attori - in particolare quelli pubblici - � carente. Tuttavia, se le pratiche informali consentono un accesso pi� veloce al mercato del lavoro e alla casa allo stesso tempo aumentano il rischio di risultare in forme di marginalit� e ghettizzazione.
