Abstract:
The painter Emil Nolde's studio was built in 1927 and, the following year, construction was begun on what was to become the house that he shared with his wife Ada in Seebüll. The building was located on a mound in the middle of the marsh, not far from the new border between Germany and Denmark that was made as a result of the vote in 1920. Nolde had designed the building according to the principle that it was to have ‘three facades following the passage of the sun’. Like a sunflower, the facades of the building were to reach out and take in the changing light in step with the sun's flight across the sky. There would be ample opportunity for both skylight and sunlight to enter the building as the positioning on a mound raised the building above the surroundings. In Nolde's view, up on the mound, ‘the entire celestial sphere was above us; it was greater than a semicircle - strange how even a small elevation in the flat landscape can make the vault of heaven seem larger’.

Abstract:
In D(L)akota star knowledge, the Sun is known as Wi and the Moon is Han-Wi. They have an important relationship, husband and wife. The pattern of their ever-changing relationship is mirrored in the motions of Sun and Moon as seen from our backyards, also called the lunar phases. The framework of the cultural teaching is storytelling and relationships. Cultural perspectives in astronomy such as this remind us of how indigenous ways of knowing are rooted in inclusion, engagement, and relevancy. Designed by A. Lee in 2007, the Native Skywatchers initiative seeks to remember and revitalize indigenous star and earth knowledge, promoting the native voice as the lead voice. The overarching goal of Native Skywatchers is to communicate the knowledge that indigenous people traditionally practiced a sustainable way of living and sustainable engineering through a living and participatory relationship with the above and below, sky and earth. In 2012 two indigenous star maps were created: the Ojibwe Giizhig Anung Masinaaigan-Ojibwe Sky Star Map (A. Lee, W. Wilson, C. Gawboy), and the D(L)akota star map, Makoce Wicanhpi Wowapi (A. Lee, J. Rock). In 2016, a collaboration with W. Buck of the Manitoba First Nations Resource Centre (MFNRC), produced a third star map: Ininew Achakos Masinikan- Cree Star Map Book. We aim to improve current inequities in education for native young people especially through STEM engagement, to inspire increased cultural pride, and promote community wellness. Presented here will be recently created resources such as: astronomical calendar-paintings and short videos that exist at the intersection of art-science-culture. As we look for sustainable ways to widen participation in STEM, particularly in astronomy education, part of the conversation needs to consider the place for art and culture in STEM.

Abstract:
IN 1830, 57,000 PASSENGERS DEPARTEDBRITISH PORTSfor overseas destinations. By 1840, the figure had risen to 185,000; by 1850, it had reached 281,000, a five-fold increase in just twenty years. Although these figures relate toalldepartees, they nevertheless give some indication of the sheer scale of mid nineteenth-century emigration from Britain, and it should be no surprise that a sizeable industry developed to supply the growing number of passengers, to meet their victualling needs, provide tools, equipment, and accommodation, as well as information about prospective destinations. The emigrant's departure was urged on by an outpouring of enthusiastic writings in mainstream periodicals and newspapers, by emigrant handbooks, illustrated volumes, and hand-colored prints. These descriptions of new, alluring, distant lands were set off against equally stylized construals of the old country in which the relative independence available to colonial settlers was contrasted with the unfavorable situation many faced in Britain. Addressing himself to the agricultural laborer in 1843, for example, John Chase bade him scan the changeable British skies, consider the bitter winter, poor accommodation, endemic sickness, his wife and children starving, the apothecary's bill accumulating, while the tax gatherer and landlord hovered at the door. Then look at the Cape, Chase urged, with its celestial climate, where sickness was the exception, where doctors pined for want of patients and apothecaries were impoverished for want of custom, where the tax gatherer was never seen and the landlord was the emigrant himself (243–44).

Abstract:
Celestial navigation is an important type of autonomous navigation technology which could be used as an alternative to Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) when a vessel is at sea. After several centuries of development, a variety of astronomical vessel position (AVP) determination methods have been invented, but the basic concepts of these methods are all based on angular observations with a device such as a sextant, which has disadvantages including low accuracy, manual operation, and a limited period of observation. This paper proposes a new method that utilises a fisheye camera to image the celestial bodies and horizon simultaneously. Then, we calculate the obliquity of the fisheye camera's principal optical axis according to the image coordinates of the horizon. Next, we calculate the altitude of the celestial bodies according to the image coordinates of the celestial bodies and the obliquity. Finally, the AVP is determined by the altitudes according to the robust estimation method. Experimental results indicate that this method not only could realize automation and miniaturization of the AVP determination system, but could also greatly improve the efficiency of celestial navigation.

Abstract:
Successful experience of applying the Chebyshev polynomials as a power “mathematical tool” for numerical integration and approximation techniques in celestial mechanics is presented. Detailed analysis of approximation function behavior inside an integration step allows to elaborate a special technique for high accuracy and rapid integration of piece-wise continuous functions, modeling the Earth's shadow effect for artificial satellite orbits. Original software is elaborated for creating the ephemeris file simultaneously with the process of numerical integration. This technique is applied for the construction of ephemerides of natural and artificial celestial bodies as well as for the compact polynomial representation of different geodynamic parameters.

Abstract:
This study involves two photometric catalogues, AllWISE and Pan-STARRS Data Release 1, which were cross-matched to identify extragalactic objects among the common sources of these catalogues. To separate galaxies and quasars from stars, we created a machine-learning model that is trained on photometric (in fact, colour-based) information from the optical and infrared wavelength ranges. The model is based on three important procedures: the construction of the autoencoder artificial neural network, separation of galaxies and quasars from stars with a support vector machine (SVM) classifier, and cleaning of the AllWISE × PS1 sample to remove sources with abnormal colour indices using a one-class SVM. As a training sample, we employed a set of spectroscopically confirmed sources from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 14. Having applied the classification model to the data of crossing the AllWISE and Pan-STARRS DR1 samples, we created the Northern Extragalactic WISE × Pan-STARRS (NEWS) catalogue, containing 40 million extragalactic objects and covering 3/4 of celestial sphere up to g = 23m. Several independent classification quality tests, namely, the astrometric test along with others based on the use of data from spectroscopic surveys show similar results and indicate a high purity (∼98.0%) and completeness (> 98%) for the NEWS catalogue within the magnitude range of 19.0m < g < 22.5m. The classification quality still retains quite acceptable levels of 70% for purity and 97% for completeness for the brightest and faintest objects from this magnitude range. In addition, validation with external data sets has demonstrated the need for using only those sources in the NEWS catalogue that are outside the zone with the enhanced extinction. We show that the number of quasars from the NEWS catalogue identified in Gaia DR2 exceeds the number of quasars previously identified in Gaia DR2 with the use of the AllWISEAGN catalogue. These quasars may be used in future as an additional sample for testing and anchoring the Gaia Celestial Reference Frame.

Abstract:
O presente trabalho propõe-se a uma análise dos mukashi banashi (contos antigos) da literatura japonesa sobre os casamentos entre seres diferentes, com enfoque nas imagens da esposa animal e da esposa celestial que surgem nestas narrativas. Apresentando uma estrutura que difere bastante daquela segundo a qual que se constroem os contos de magia ocidentais, pode-se dizer que parte dos mukashi banashi que integra esta subcategoria de contos reflete o modo de pensar característico do japonês da antiguidade. Através da análise das narrativas que integram o corpus desta pesquisa, será feita uma tentativa de se aplicar as teorias ocidentais aos contos em questão, em especial as de E. M. Meletínski que, num âmbito maior que o de seu predecessor, V. I. Propp, estendeu seus estudos sobre o conto de magia ao mito; a partir disso, deverá ser proposta uma classificação para os contos selecionados. Considerando-se a origem antiga destes mukashi banashi, pretende-se também realizar a análise da esfera de ação das protagonistas femininas, no intuito de se verificar as projeções míticas nos contos, que revelam a vida dos povos antigos, bem como a descoberta da matriz imagética desses contos japoneses e discussão da mensagem subjacente às narrativas.<br>This work intends to analyse the mukashi banashi (ancient tales) of the Japanese literature about the marriages between different beings, focusing the images of the animal wife and the celestial wife that appear in these narratives. Having a structure which differs from the structure of the western fairy tales, we can say that part of the mukashi banashi from this subcategory of tales reflects the way of thinking of the ancient Japanese people. Through the analysis of the narratives of this research corpus, we will try to apply some western theories about the fairy tale in these Japanese tales, specially the theories of E. M. Meletinsky who, in a wider point of view than his predecessor, V. I. Propp, expanded his studies about the fairy tale to the myth; we also intend to present a classification for the selected tales. Considering the ancient origin of these mukashi banashi, we intend to do an analysis of the action of the female protagonists, in order to verify the mythical projections in the tales, which reveals the life of ancient people, as well as to discover the main images of these mukashi banashi and discuss about the message which lies under these narratives.

Abstract:
Ultra-wide Trans-Neptunian Binaries (TNBs) are extremely sensitive to perturbation, and therefore make excellent probes of the past and present dynamical environment of the outer Solar System. Using data gathered from a host of facilities we have determined the mutual orbits for a sample of seven wide TNBs whose periods exceed one year. This characterized sample provides us with new information about the probable formation scenarios of TNBs, and has significant implications for the early dynamical and collisional history of the Kuiper Belt. We show that these wide binaries have short collisional lifetimes, and use them to produce a new estimate of the number of small (~1 km) objects in the Kuiper Belt. Additionally, these systems are susceptible to tidal disruption, and we show that it is unlikely that they were ever subjected to a period of close encounters with the giant planets. We find that the current properties of these ultra-wide Trans-Neptunian Binaries suggest that planetesimal growth in the Cold Classical Kuiper Belt did not occur through slow hierarchical accretion, but rather through rapid gravitational collapse.<br>Graduate

Abstract:
This chapter explores Kernis's life in the period 1984–1991—a period of wandering physically, emotionally, and artistically. He lived in Europe, various parts of the United States, and Canada. He experienced periods of intense loneliness but also the pleasure of a significant romantic attachment. And, after freeing himself musically from strict self-imposed controls, he confronted head-on the challenges of history, coming to grips with the forms and modes of expression pioneered by his predecessors while adapting these traditions to his personal language. His success in confronting these personal and professional challenges manifested itself in commissions for his first symphony (the Symphony in Waves, 1989) and his first string quartet (musica celestis, 1990) and in the establishment of important associations that would serve him well far into the future with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Lark Quartet, and pianist Evelyne Luest, who would become his wife in 1996.

Abstract:
The book examines, from the perspective of feminist disability theories, the concepts and role of women in selected Spanish discourses and literary texts from the late fifteenth to seventeenth centuries. It explores a wide range of Spanish medical, regulatory and moral discourses in order to show how these inherit, reproduce and propagate an amalgam of Western traditional concepts of the female embodiment. The book also examines concrete representations of deviant female characters, with a focus in the figure of the syphilitic prostitute and the physically decayed aged women, in a variety of literary texts such Celestina, Lozana andaluza and selected works by Cervantes and Quevedo. The analysis of the personal testimony of Teresa de Avila, a nun suffering neurological disorders, complements the discussion of early modern women’s disability. By expanding the meanings of present materiality/social construction disability theories, the book concludes that femininity, bodily afflictions, and mental instability characterize the new literary heroes in paradoxical contrast with the Spanish apex of imperial power. The broken female bodies of pre-industrial Spanish literature reveal the cracks in the foundational principles of established masculine truths such as physical and moral integrity and religious and ethnic intolerance.

Chapter 16 tells the story of George Boole, his wife Mary Everest Boole, and their five daughters. Boole was largely self-taught and was appointed the first Professor of Mathematics at Queen’s College Cork, now University College Cork, in 1849. When he died, his wife Mary and young daughters returned to London, where Mary made the acquaintance of James Hinton and his circle of literary friends. Mary developed methods of teaching mathematics that she passed on to her daughters, who all lived remarkable lives. Ethel Lily Boole was a very successful novelist, author of The Gadfly. She married Wilfrid Michael Voynich, famous for discovering the Voynich manuscript. Mary Ellen Boole married Charles Howard Hinton, who would popularize the notion of higher dimensions.

Abstract:
There is no way to transcribe the features of the Earth’s spherical surface onto a flat map without some distortion. All maps distort the geography of the sphere. The familiar Mercator maps inflate regions close to the poles compared to regions in the tropics. In 1973, Arno Peters promoted the Gall–Peters projection that compensates for the expansion of polar regions compared to the tropics. Buckminster Fuller invented a map called the Dymaxion in which the globe is projected onto an icosahedron, which is then unfolded into an icosahedral net. Another interesting projection is the Pierce Quincuncial projection invented by Charles Sanders Pierce. The Milky Way galaxy was recently mapped using data from NASA’s Wide-field Infra-red Survey Explorer (WISE) and shown to be a barred spiral galaxy. Pablo Carlos Budassi has created a map of the entire visible universe using NASA images by representing radial distances on a logarithmic scale.

Abstract:
In this chapter, the authors put forward the notion of internet of everything (IoE) as an effort to maximally connect our communication infrastructure to the universe, which can itself be regarded as the real IoE, an interconnected network of physical phenomena (i.e., Everything we perceive as independent wholes that persist through time, such as molecules, light, waves, living organisms, and celestial objects, with the purpose of gaining better understanding of its mechanisms and manipulating them to enable novel technologies via a networked sensing, analysis, and actuation approach). The strategy to outline the IoE effort is by dissecting the vast IoE landscape into IoXs according to their various application domains (Xs), for each of which the authors give an up-to-date account of the state-of-the-art in related fields and point out the challenges in contemporary research faces. They also discuss a wide spectrum of challenges and future research directions (e.g., ubiquitous connectivity, security, big data, etc., which are common to many IoXs and penetrate into the IoE effort in general).
