Nilagiri, Vinay Kumar. "Subjective measurement of the Stiles-Crawford effect." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 2021. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/212371/1/Vinay%20Kumar_Nilagiri_Thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
The Stiles-Crawford effect (SCE) is the differential effectivity of light entering the eye at different positions in the pupil. Its parameters are directionality (rate of change across the pupil) and peak location in the pupil. Using a spatial light modulation system, I investigated influences of field size, accommodation (focusing), and flicker frequency on the subjectively-measured SCE. SCE directionality increased with increase in field size, while peak location shifted temporally in the pupil with increase in focusing, but the SCE was not affected by a range of flicker frequencies. The field size results support a photoreceptor absorption model of the SCE.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Child Life Style Scale (CLSS) and clarify the underlying dimensions of the scale. Dr. Kathleen Stiles designed the 90 item CLSS to quantitatively identify life style typologies for children between eight and twelve. This questionnaire consisted of 6 scales based on Adlerian constructs of personality. They are pleasing, getting, controlling, rebelling, inadequacy, and socially useful.
Ten items were deleted after an inter-judge reliability/validity study. The 80 item CLSS was administered to 314 third, fourth, and fifth graders in public and private schools in Dallas, Texas. Internal consistency coefficients for the six subscales ranged from .72 to .76 and test-retest reliability coefficients ranged from .70 to .80 (p < .001).
Results from a factor analysis confirmed the original six scales but factors five and six were not strong. Exploratory factor analysis found four clear factors with internal consistency coefficients ranging from .76 to .84 and test-retest reliability coefficients ranging from .73 to .83 (p < .001). Underlying dimensions of the factors, which reflect Alfred Adler's four typologies exactly, were:
Factor 1: Rebelliousness
Factor 2: Social Usefulness
Factor 3: Control
Factor 4: Fear of Failure.
Results of analysis of variance indicated that age and socioeconomics made significant differences while gender and place in the family were not as significant.
This study showed the revised 64 item version of the CLSS reflects Adler's tenets exactly, and has a more concise format with better reliability and validity. The CLSS is a solid questionnaire worth being further investigated for use in schools and therapy.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Mechanical forces either due to accommodation or myopia may stretch the retina and/or cause shear between the retina and choroid. This can be investigated by making use of the Stiles-Crawford effect (SCE), which is the phenomenon of light changing in apparent brightness as it enters through different positions in the pupil. The SCE can be measured by psychophysical and objective techniques, with the SCE parameters being directionality (rate of change across the pupil), and orientation (the location of peak sensitivity in the pupil).
Aims: 1. To study the changes in foveal SCE with accommodation in emmetropes and myopes using a subjective (psychophysical) technique. 2. To develop and evaluate a quick objective technique of measuring the SCE using the multifocal electroretinogram.
Methods: The SCE was measured in 6 young emmetropes and 6 young myopes for up to 8 D accommodation stimulus with a psychophysical technique and its variants. An objective technique using the multifocal electroretinogram was developed and evaluated with 5 emmetropes.
Results: Using the psychophysical technique, the SCE directionality increased by similar amounts in both emmetropes and myopes as accommodation increased, with an increase of 15-20% with 6 D of accommodation. However, there were no significant orientation changes. Additional measurements showed that most of the change in the directionality was probably an artefact of optical factors such as higher-order aberrations and accommodative lag rather a true effect of accommodation. The multifocal technique demonstrated the presence of the SCE, but results were noisy and too variable to detect any changes in SCE directionality or orientation with accommodation.
Conclusion: There is little true change in the SCE with accommodation responses up to 6 D in either emmetropes or myopes, although it is possible that substantial changes might occur at very high accommodation levels. The objective technique using the multifocal electroretinogram was quicker and less demanding for the subjects than the psychophysical technique, but as implemented in this thesis, it is not a reliable method of measuring the SCE.

Notre objectif a été d'analyser l'influence de la variabilité spatio-temporelle de la réflectance des cônes sur le comptage des cônes par imagerie à haute résolution par optique adaptative plein champ, et de proposer des méthodes pour pallier ces difficultés. La première partie des travaux porte sur l'étude de la variabilité temporelle des cônes. Nous avons confirmé la présence d'un phénomène de scintillement des cônes à une fréquence au moins égale à celle de notre système d'acquisition. Nous avons proposé une procédure d'analyse d'images incluant restauration par déconvolution myope, recalage rigide, fusion d'images pour la construction de cartographies de cônes. Nous avons montré que dans le cas des sujets sains, la procédure de fusion d'image permet de rapprocher la mesure de la densité des cônes des références histologiques. La directionalité de la réflectance des cônes est appelée effet Stiles-Crawford optique. Nous en avons identifié une nouvelle manifestation clinique, à travers une étude portant sur l'analyse d'images d'optique adaptative en périphérie de la rétine. Nous avons montré, à travers l'alternance des mosaïques positive/négative, que la réflectance des cônes peut devenir inférieure à celle des bâtonnets. La comparaison avec les données de la tomographie de cohérence optique a montré une forte corrélation de cette commutation avec la couche des segments externes des cônes. Nous avons proposé une procédure d'intégration de la variabilité spatiale pour la construction des cartographies. Cette procédure a été évaluée sur des sujets sains et pathologiques et a montré un gain significatif (en termes de dénombrement des cônes) chez les cas pathologiquesOur objective was to analyze the importance of spatial and temporal variability of the reflectance of cones in counting for adaptive optics high resolution imaging, and propose ways to overcome these difficulties.The first part of the work focuses on the study of the temporal variability of cones. We confirmed the presence of a scintillation phenomenon at a frequency at least equal to that of our acquisition system. We have proposed an image analysis process including restoration by deconvolution, rigid registration, and image fusion for cone mapping. To validate this approach, we conducted a validation test for two deconvolution methods. We have shown that in the case of healthy subjects, the image fusion procedure to bring the measurement of cone density and histological references. The angular variation of cone reflectance is called optical Stiles-Crawford effect. We have identified a new clinical manifestation of this phenomenon, through a study on the analysis of adaptive optics images periphery). We have shown, through the alternation of the positive / negative mosaics, that the reflectance of the cones may become lower than that of rods. Comparison with the data of the optical coherence tomography showed a strong correlation of the switching with the outer segment layer. We then proposed a procedure of integration of spatial variability for cone mapping. This procedure was evaluated in healthy and diseased subjects and showed a significant gain (in terms of cone enumeration) in pathological cases

Full textAbstract:
The recent and rapid growth of horizontal drilling in the Anadarko basin necessitates newer studies to characterize reservoir and source rock quality in the region. Most oil production in the basin comes from the Granite Wash reservoirs, which are composed of stacked tight sandstones and conglomerates that range from Virgillian (305–299 Ma) to Atokan (311–309.4 Ma) in age. By utilizing geophysical well logging data available in raster format, the Granite Wash reservoirs and their respective marine flooding surfaces were stratigraphically mapped across the regional fault systems. Additionally, well log trends were calibrated with coincident core data to minimize uncertainty regarding facies variability and lateral continuity of these intervals. In this thesis, inferred lithofacies were grouped into medium submarine fan lobe, distal fan lobe, and offshore facies (the interpreted depositional environments). By creating isopach and net sand maps in Petra, faulting in the Missourian was determined to have occurred syndepositionally at the fifth order scale of stratigraphic hierarchy.

A estrongiloidíase é uma doença parasitária que tem distribuição mundial heterogênea, cuja prevalência é dividida em três categorias: esporádica (<1%), endêmica (1-5%) e hiperendêmica (>5%). Na região de Araraquara, estudos de frequência de enteroparasitoses vêm sendo conduzidos desde 1970 e mostram que a estrongiloidíase é endêmica na região. Com o intuito de realizar caracterização morfométrica de diferentes isolados humanos desse helminto, provenientes dos municípios de Araraquara, Américo Brasiliense, Gavião Peixoto, Motuca e Rincão foi feita a mensuração de larvas rabditóides e filarióides e sequenciamento da região ITS-1 do rDNA das larvas filarióides. Com o auxilio do programa de captura e mensuração de imagens Motic Images Advanced 3.2., os parâmetros das larvas rabditóides e filarióides propostos por TEIXEIRA, 1996, foram mensurados após fixação das mesmas em TAF. A extração do DNA genômico foi realizada segundo protocolo descrito por NILFOROUSHAN et al., 2007 e em seguida realizou-se a amplificação do ITS-1 por meio de NESTED-PCR.

Strongyloidiasis is a parasitic disease that occurs worldwide heterogeneous, whose prevalence is divided into three categories: sporadic (<1%), endemic (1-5%) and hyperendemic (> 5%). In the region of Araraquara, studies the frequency of intestinal parasites have been conducted since 1970 and show that strongyloidiasis is endemic in the region. In order to perform morphometric characterization of different isolates of human intestinal worms, from the municipalities of Araraquara, Américo Brasiliense, Gavião Peixoto, Motuca and Rincão the measurement was made of rhabditiforms and filariforms larvae and sequencing of the ITS-1 rDNA filariform larvae. With the help of the program capture and measurement of images Motic Images Advanced 3.2., the rhabditiforms and filariforms larvae parameters proposed by TEIXEIRA, 1997, were measured after fixed on the TAF.

Devido à baixa sensibilidade do exame parasitológico de fezes (EPF) para o diagnóstico laboratorial da giardíase, o método imunoenzimático (ELISA Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) para pesquisa de coproantígenos de Giardia tem sido utilizado, mostrando alta sensibilidade e especificidade. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de se avaliar a eficácia do ELISA ProSpecT Giardia (Alexon, Inc. BioBrás) anti-GSA65 (antígeno fecal específico de Giardia - peso molecular 65.000 Da) como instrumento de controle de cura da giardíase e o seu limiar de positividade. A contagem de cistos por grama de fezes foi feita utilizando a câmara de Neubauer em amostras positivas para G.lamblia de 100 pacientes. Os resultados mostraram eliminação de 3,6 x 106 cistos por grama de fezes em média. Em gráfico esses resultados desenharam uma curva assimétrica positiva, sugerindo a ocorrência de falso-negativos. Avaliou-se também a eficácia do ELISA anti-GSA65 e o método de Faust e Cols (MFc) em detectar mínimas concentrações de cistos de G. lamblia em amostras fecais. Fezes positivas foram diluídas em fezes negativas de modo a se obter amostras com 100, 1.000 e 10.000 cistos por grama de fezes.

Detta arbete gick ut på att undersöka ifall två spelmekaniskt identiska spelprototyper med två olika grafiska stilar kunde påverka en spelares uppfattning av spelupplevelsen. Syftet var inte att undersöka hur det påverkar utan om det påverkar. Arbetet utgick ifrån att undersöka grafiska stilar, skapa två spelprototyper samt undersöka och bryta ner spelupplevelsen med hjälp av Swinks bok om Game Feel. Åtta respondenter deltog i speltest och intervjuer vilket ledde till data som kunde konstatera att en grafisk presentation, en grafisk stil, påverkar en spelares upplevelser av ett spel. Datan kan inte påvisa hur, däremot att det sker något, trots mekaniskt identiska spel. För framtida forskning vore det intressant att använda ett större och mer komplext spel för att ge ett längre och mer naturligt speltest för respondenterna samt för att likna de spel som finns tillgängliga i handeln idag.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2003.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The use of solar distillation as a means of desalination to provide potable water to communities in remote and arid regions has often been discarded on economic grounds mainly because of the inherent low efficiency of relatively expensive solar distillation units (solar stills). Closer analysis of this constraint showed that by following a mainly Physical Chemistry approach (rather than the traditional engineering one), the technology could be made more economically attractive through (1) lowering the construction cost of the solar still and / or (2) increasing its operational life and / or (3) increasing its efficiency. The study into different solar still designs showed that, despite its limitations, the basin solar still is preferred due to its simplicity, ease of operation and low maintenance. Given the solar distillation process as formulated in this study, substitute durable components could be identified and optimised for this design. A basin solar still that costs about 80% less than a reference unit without an apparent drop in performance was consequently developed and successfully tested up to full plant scale. An in-house experimental facility that simulates solar still behaviour under controlled environmental conditions was developed to simulate conditions of lower radiation intensity and productivity, which enabled research into performance enhancement and microbiological water quality. It was found that (a) absorption of the radiation by the water plays an important part in productivity and that a productivity decrease of up to 33% can be expected as the black interior lining becomes contaminated, (b) the simulated winter productivity of the basin still was about 25% of the summer value due to the lesser amount of solar radiation hours, the lower angles of radiation incidence onto the cover and the decrease in water area receiving direct radiation, (c) an annual productivity increase of about 10% can be obtained when a particular reflector configuration is fixed behind the basin, and (d) the microbiological pasteurisation temperature is less than the distillation onset temperature. This study played an important role in making solar still technology affordable for use by poor, rural communities, as was demonstrated by the successful use of the research product (basin solar still) in a pilot drinking water plant at a typical target community. This was made possible through the use of evaluation models developed as part of this research, which addressed relevant construction and performance factors influencing the economic viability of the specific solar still. The following outcomes of this study can be regarded as new contributions to the field of solar distillation technology, namely (a) a test matrix that can be used to screen solar still construction materials at component level, (b) an evaluation model that can be used to determine the economic viability of solar stills at a given location, (c) a laboratory testing facility to study solar still behaviour under controlled conditions and (d) a solar still design that has been optimised and tested for local field application.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die gebruik van son-energie om brakwater deur middel van distillasie te ontsout en sodoende drinkwater aan afgeleë gemeenskappe te verskaf, is herhaaldelik in die verlede as ekonomies nie-lewensvatbaar aangetoon. Dit is hoofsaaklik toeskryfbaar aan die inherente lae effektiwiteit van sodanige stelsels, asook die hoë kapitaalkoste daaraan verbonde. Die hoofsaaklike faktore wat die tegnologie bekostigbaar kan maak, is egter hieruit afgelei en volgens 'n Fisiese Chemie benadering geoptimeer, naamlik (1) vermindering van die konstruksiekoste van die sondistilleerder-eenhede, en / of (2) verlenging van die operasionele leeftyd daarvan, en / of (3) verhoging van effektiwiteit van die stelsel. Die literatuurstudie het aangetoon dat die pan-tipe sondistilleerder-eenheid verkieslik as navorsingsbasis is omdat dit eenvoudig en maklik bedryf- en onderhoudbaar is. Vanuit die geformuleerde beskrywing van die sondistillasie-proses kon plaasvervangende komponente vir die sondistilleerder-eenheid geïdentifiseer en getoets word, wat daartoe gelei het dat 'n eenheid met dieselfde funksioneringseienskappe vir sowat 80% goedkoper ontwikkel kon word. 'n Laboratoriumopstelling waarmee lae bestralingskondisies gesimuleer kan word, is ontwikkel om navorsing op produktiwiteitsverbetering en mikrobiologiese produkwaterkwaliteit te doen. Dit is aangetoon dat (a) absorpsie van die inkomende bestraling deur die water belangrik is en dat 'n sondistilleerder-eenheid tot 33% minder produktief kan wees indien die swart voering binne die eenheid besoedel sou word, (b) winterproduktiwiteit daal tot 25% van somerproduktiwiteit as gevolg van die verminderde sonlig-ure, die laer invalshoek van die bestraling op die glasdeksel, en die gepaardgaande verkleining van die blootgestelde water-oppervlakte, (c) 'n gemiddelde produktiwiteitsverhoging van 10% deur weerkaatsers agter die sondistilleerder-eenheid teweeggebring kan word, en (d) die distillasie-temperatuur die water-ontsmettingstemperatuur oorskry. Hierdie navorsmg het 'n belangrike rol gespeelom sondistilleerder-tegnologie bekostigbaar vir behoeftge gemeenskappe in landelike gebiede te maak. Dit is gedemonstreer deur die suksesvolle toepassing van die navorsingsproduk (sondistilleerder-eenheid) in 'n drinkwatervoorsieningsprojek by 'n tipiese teikengemeenskap. Dit is vermag deur die gebruikmaking van evaluasie-modelle wat gedurende hierdie studie ontwikkel is, en wat die toepaslike konstruksie- en funksioneringsfaktore wat die ekonomiese lewensvatbaarheid van die eenheid beïnvloed, aanspreek. Die volgende navorsingsprodukte kan beskou word as nuut in die veld van sondistillasie-tegnologie, naamlik (a) 'n toetsmatriks wat gebruik kan word om komponente vir sondistilleeerders te evalueer, (b) 'n ekonomiese evalueringsmodel wat gebruik kan word om die bekostigbaarheid van sondistilleerders in 'n bepaalde gebied te bepaal, (c) 'n laboratorium-toetsfasiliteit om die werking van sondistilleerders onder beheerde kondisies te ondersoek en (d) 'n sondistilleerdereenheid wat doelgeskik vir plaaslike omstandighede ontwikkel en getoets is.

Full textAbstract:
Retinal photoreceptor directionality of human eye refers to the fact that, for a normal and healthy human eye, visual sensitivity is greatest for light entering near the centre of the eye pupil and the response falls off from this peak roughly symmetrically across the pupil. This is also known as the Stiles-Crawford effect (SCE). It is achieved by the directionality of retinal cones that act like waveguides. It has a positive effect on
human vision since the optical aberrations of the eye normally increase in the pupil periphery. The measured SCE is used in clinical cases to indicate the stage and degree
of various retinal abnormalities. Directionality of human cones is traditionally measured either by psychophysical or reflectometric methods; several other methods
have also been proposed for measuring and modelling the cone directionality. Cone directionality and aberrations of the eye are widely varied from subject to subject. It
has been suggested that they are actively controlled and there may also exist a natural relationship between the directionality and aberrations. But the current methods to accurately measure the cone directionality are difficult and time consuming. In this research, we developed a mathematical model of the cone directionality based on the measured monochromatic aberrations of the human eye. We show that cone directionality can be modelled using a two-dimensional Gaussian function whose parameters vary according to the measured monochromatic aberrations of the eye. Our modelling is based on a hypothesis that cones directionality is optimised so that the
resulting retinal image quality is maximised. This methodology can also be used in
automatic image enhancement systems for correcting higher-order aberrations. The modelling of the SCE of the human eye as a Gaussian function has been demonstrated.
The optimisation process that we developed has been used to optimise ten different eyes, which all have significant amount of higher order aberrations. It has shown significant improvement in the corresponding Point Spread Functions. The proposed methodology could be used for cost-effective image enhancement in optical systems,
which suffer from higher-order monochromatic aberrations. Currently such systems have to be corrected with adaptive optics.

I arbetet undersöks om den grafiska stilen kan påverka vilka utmaningar som spelaren identifierar i ett FPS. Detta undersöks genom att skapa ett FPS i två versioner med identisk spelmekanik men i vardera grafiskt realistiskt och abstrakt utförande. Resultaten föreslår att deltagarnas initiala förväntningar kan påverkas av den grafiska stilen men ingen varande påverkan påvisas.This work investigates whether the graphical style can influence the players perception of challenges in an FPS. This is investigated by creating a game in two versions that have identical game mechanics but a graphically realistic and abstract appearance accordingly.

I sjuksköterskans kompetensbeskrivning ingår att utifrån gällande föreskrifter och säkerhetsrutiner kunna hantera medicinsk-tekniska produkter samt att arbeta utifrån hygieniska principer och rutiner. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka sjuksköterskornas följsamhet gentemot de riktlinjer som finns publicerade i Handbok för hälso- och sjukvård gällande sticksituationer. Datainsamlingen gjordes på en kirurgisk avdelning på ett sjukhus i södra Sverige genom 14 strukturerade observationer av sjuksköterskor i situationer då de antingen satte perifer venkateter (PVK) eller genomförde venprovtagning. Datan analyerades med manifest innehållsanalys och hade en kvantitativ del i form av frekvensdata och en kvalitativ del i form av fältanteckningar. Studiens resultat varierar mellan de olika subkategorierna i checklistan. Positiva fynd har hittats gällande enhandsteknik som användes korrekt i åtta av elva fall, medan handdesinfektion både innan och efter moment samt identitetskontroll var punkter där resultatet tyder på brister i följsamhet.The Swedish competence description for nurses includes handling medical-technical products, and to be able to work on the basis of approved guidelines, hygiene principles and safety routines. The aim of the study was to inquire into what extent the nurses are following the guidelines published in the Swedish Handbook for healthcare. Data was collected at a surgical clinic in a hospital in the south of Sweden through 14 structured observations in situations where nurses inserted peripheral venous catheters or took venous blood tests. The data was analysed with content analysis had both a quantitative and a qualitative approach with fieldnotes to support the results. The results varied between the different headlines in the checklist that was used. The study came across positive findings under the headline “one hand technique” which was used correctly in eight of eleven situations. Less positive was the findings under the headlines “hand disinfection” and “identity controls” where the results indicate obvious lack of compliance.

Daino, L. "Una stilistica dell’usuale : gli esordi poetici di Giovanni Raboni tra ‘stile semplice’ e ‘grande stile’ (1950-1965)." Doctoral thesis, Università degli Studi di Milano, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/2434/236945.
Full textAbstract:
La ricerca si concentra sulla fase giovanile della parabola poetica di Giovanni Raboni, e in particolare sulla composizione di Gesta Romanorum (i cui testi risalgono ai primi anni Cinquanta) e di Le case della Vetra (pubblicato nel 1966). La principale prospettiva metodologica adottata è quella della stilistica e degli studi storico-linguistici applicati all’interpretazione dei fenomeni letterari. Uno degli obiettivi primari del lavoro è quello di indagare quale soluzione Raboni abbia proposto al problema capitale di dare forma a un linguaggio poetico non sovrapponibile e in molti casi nemmeno accostabile al codice lirico tradizionale, e tuttavia dotato di un quid in grado di distinguerlo dalla lingua di grado zero.
Il primo capitolo (Lo stile semplice in poesia), che rappresenta la premessa teorica e storico-linguistica del lavoro, individua nei rivolgimenti della seconda metà degli anni Cinquanta, che hanno fatto dell’italiano una “lingua di tutti”, la premessa fondamentale della poesia di Raboni. Questi, infatti, si è precocemente inserito nella schiera dei poeti che hanno cercato di dare una risposta positiva agli stimoli provenienti da quella realtà in rapida mutazione, anzitutto avvicinando il linguaggio dei propri versi a quella che si stava imponendo come lingua comune.
Nel secondo capitolo a ciascuna delle sezioni di Le case della Vetra è dedicato un paragrafo, nel quale una poesia (Risanamento; Canzone; Città dall’alto) è eletta a campione significativo a cui è possibile applicare la prospettiva d’indagine illustrata nelle pagine d’apertura. Viene in questo modo mostrato il lento cammino di Raboni verso una simulazione sempre più accorta del parlato in poesia.
Il terzo capitolo illustra le ragione di fondo delle opzioni stilistiche precedentemente descritte. Il primo fattore significativo è individuato nella particolare attenzione che il giovane Raboni riservava alla letteratura modernista anglosassone. La ricerca si giova anche di un prezioso materiale finora pressoché ignorato dalla critica: i saggi letterari pubblicati da Raboni nella seconda metà degli anni Cinquanta e nei primi anni Sessanta, che contengono originali e acute letture e forniscono utili indicazioni per la comprensioni delle scelte raboniane in poesia. Il secondo fattore decisivo è individuato nella fenomenologia di Edmund Husserl filtrata attraverso i lavori di Enzo Paci, alla cui rivista, «aut aut», Raboni in quegli stessi anni collaborava intensamente. Tale ascendenza intellettuale dalla scuola fenomenologica rimarrà a fondamento del lavoro raboniano fin verso la metà degli anni Ottanta, quando il poeta milanese si è progressivamente avvicinato al marxismo critico di Franco Fortini.
L’appendice della tesi affronta il nodo testuale costituito da Gesta Romanorum, un libro del quale Raboni non ha mai fornito una versione completa e attendibile. Muta l’approccio metodologico del lavoro, che ora si sposta sul piano della ricostruzione filologico-testuale. Vengono dapprima individuate tutte le liriche riconducibili a questo magmatico libro apparse a stampa nel corso di un cinquantennio. Viene inoltre dato conto di un ritrovamento effettuato nel corso della ricerca: tra le carte di Carlo Betocchi, conservate presso l’Archivio Contemporaneo Bonsanti di Firenze, ho ritrovato il dattiloscritto inedito – risalente al 1953 e considerato perduto sia Raboni, sia dalla critica raboniana – che contiene la prima e più articolata testimonianza del nucleo di Gesta Romanorum. Il fondo Betocchi contiene anche un’altra fondamentale testimonianza della poesia giovanile di Raboni: una plaquette di quindici testi intitolata La Passione secondo San Luca, fino a oggi ignota, ma nella quale va riconosciuta la più compiuta e matura testimonianza della prima produzione raboniana.

Full textAbstract:
Black stilts (Himantopus novaezelandiae) are an endangered wader endemic to New Zealand. The black stilt population is critically low and managers are trying to return the species to a sustainable level by captive-rearing young stilts from eggs. A new and experimental reintroduction programme began in 1993. Over two years, 57 young birds were released to the wild within their natural range in the Mackenzie Basin. The area they were initially released into contains a diversity of feeding habitats and mammalian predators are excluded. Newly released stilts remain around the release area for the first two months feeding and roosting within the predator-reduced area. Many bird species in nature have a high mortality during their juvenile stage. Survival rate of released juvenile black stilts was approximately 50% for the first four months and 30% after the first year. Of the birds whose bodies were found, most had died from trauma related injuries. The causes of the injuries are not known, but several hypotheses have been proposed. Signs on the bodies indicate the causes of death include predation, internal parasites, infection, thyroid dysplasia and powerlines strikes. Time budget and foraging samples were collected over the first four months following the 1993 spring release, periodically over the subsequent over winter, and the first four months following the 1994 spring release. This study investigated possible causes of death of stilts by comparing behaviours of birds that eventually live with those that eventually die. From these comparisons no differences were found in the behaviour of the two groups. Results indicate that all stilts are equally prepared at release and causes of death are independent of the bird's behaviour. Alternative release areas are suggested for future black stilt reintroductions as a means of reducing the initial mortality. The rate of, mortality observed in newly released stilts is likely to be associated with captive-rearing. However, causes and rates of mortality in older captive-reared birds are likely to approximate wild birds of similar age.

L'objet principal de cette recherche est la sémantique musicale pour un style donné. Par l'expression sémantique musicale nous entendons le domaine d'étude des possibilités expressives du fait musical. Cette expression se réfère à deux domaines distincts qui concernent deux problèmes profondément corrélés: celui du sens et celui de la signification. Nous pouvons résumer le but de notre recherche par cette question: est-il possible de décrire la sémantique dans un style donné, d'une façon systématique, par un ensemble de principes qui règlent aussi bien les éléments internes du discours musical que les éléments doués de références externes? La réponse, réside en deux hypothèses: si la sémantique musicale se consiste d'éléments doués de sémantique interne et d'éléments doués de sémantique externe, cette articulation (sémantique) peut être décrite en partant des "objets" présents dans les partitions; il est possible de les organiser par l'ontologie formelleThe main object of this thesis is musical semantic in a given style. By the expression musical semantic we mean the domain of researches on the expressive possibilities of music. This expression refer to two research fields that are tied to different domains deeply in touch: the one of meaning and the one of denotation. It is possible to sum up the aim of this research in the following question: is it possible to describe the semantic of a given style, in a systematic way, by a set of principles which rule both the internal semantic elements of music and the elements present in music that are related to external reference? We propose two hypotheses in order to answer to this question: if we admit that musical semantic consists into internal semantic and external one, this semantic articulation can be described starting from "objects" that can be found in the score; these objects can be defined using formal ontology

Denna studie handlar om hur oreflekterade och reflekterade rörelsemönster i gaturummet formas av den byggda miljön. Vi undersöker vad vi kallar Stigen i staden genom en fallstudie av Friisgatan i Malmö som under sommarmånaderna byggs om till ”sommargata”. Vi har observerat, talat med besökare och boende på gatan samt människor som använder gaturummet. Vi har intervjuat landskapsarkitekten bakom sommargatan och vi har skapat en interaktiv modell som undersökning av det reflekterade rörelsemönstret. Det empiriska materialet har analyserats utifrån en teoriram bestående av ett urval av teoretiska perspektiv och begrepp. Det har givit oss möjligheten till att se gaturummet från olika perspektiv samt i olika skalor av användningsområden.This study is focused on how unreflected and reflected patterns of movement in the street space are formed by the built environment. We are searching for what we call "The City Path" thru a case study of Friisgatan in Malmö. That under the summer months develops into a “summerstreet”. We have observed, spoken to visitors and residence on the street and also thus who uses the street space. We have interviewed the landscape architect that developed the summerstreet and we have created an interactive model as an analysis method of the reflected patterns of movement. The empirical material have been analysed based on a theory framework consisting of a selection of theoretical perspectives and concepts. It has given us the opportunity to see the street space from different perspectives as well as in different scales of applications.

Full textAbstract:
The present work represents both: a design proposal and a proposal for design.Today we are exposed to more and louder noise than ever before in all areas of human life, which alters the environment, our health and the quality of social interaction to the worse. Therefore, this project takes its departure point in the concept of Stille (German for stillness and silence) in order to oppose this culture of noise. Our surroundings influence our actions and vice versa we alter these surroundings with our actions. However, since constructed within every detail, they do not allow a transient feedback to take place naturally. A possible otherness is hardly attainable in an overly planned reality.This thesis seeks to transcend the boundaries where descriptive language ceases to function and introduces materiality and interactive devices to evoke other avenues of reflection where the boundaries of actor, context and artefact converge. The proposal at hand embodies the fundamental principles of Stille in order to exploit aspects of parametric design and contingency. It imagines and materialises alternative ways of a potentially open process in which our physical environment could continuously constitute itself. Both hidden and apparent aspects of reality are unraveled and transformed into artifacts. The work depicts the transient complexity of reality and the contingent influence of everyone on our surroundings. How is our behaviour altered by the materialisation of ideas? How receptive is the current design practice to a constantly changing reality?

Full textAbstract:
L’analisi elettromiografica è una tecnica diagnostica che, recentemente, al di fuori dell’ambito medico, sta avendo notevole impiego nell’ambito della biomeccanica sportiva. L’analisi motoria affiancata a quella elettromiografica ha come prospettiva quella di offrire ad atleti e preparatori atletici un nuovo strumento per allenamenti specifici, soprattutto personalizzati.
La seguente tesi è suddivisa in quattro capitoli. Nel primo vengono investigati i principi elettrici alla base della contrazione muscolare; nel secondo viene fornita una descrizione generale sulle tecniche d'analisi e la strumentazione dell'elettromiografia; nel terzo vengono esposti i principali stili del nuoto e le forze agenti sul nuotatore; infine, nell'ultimo capitolo, ogni muscolo viene analizzato singolarmente tramite diversi parametri per comprenderne l'attivazione e il grado di affaticamento a fine prova.
Lo scopo della tesi è stato quello di offrire una visione generale dell’applicazione della tecnica elettromiografica nello stile libero del nuoto, al fine di comprendere come l’andamento di parametri nel dominio del tempo (MAV, ARV, RAF) e della frequenza (MNF, FI) riflettano l’attività motoria dei muscoli di interesse.

Per Viollet-le-Duc lo “stile” «è la manifestazione di un ideale fondato su un principio» dove per principio si intende il principio d’ordine della struttura, quest’ultimo deve rispondere direttamente alla Legge dell’”unità” che deve essere sempre rispettata nell’ideazione dell’opera architettonica.
A partire da questo nodo centrale del pensiero viollettiano, la presente ricerca si è posta come obiettivo quello dell’esplorazione dei legami fra teoria e prassi nell’opera di Viollet-le-Duc, nei quali lo “stile” ricorre come un "fil rouge" costante, presentandosi come una possibile inedita chiave di lettura di questa figura protagonista della storia del restauro e dell’architettura dell’Ottocento. Il lavoro di ricerca si é dunque concentrato su una nuova lettura dei documenti sia editi che inediti, oltre che su un’accurata ricognizione bibliografica e documentaria, e sullo studio diretto delle architetture.
La ricerca archivistica si é dedicata in particolare sull’analisi sistematica dei disegni originali di progetto e delle relazioni tecniche delle opere di Viollet-le- Duc. A partire da questa prima ricognizione, sono stati selezionati due casi- studio ritenuti particolarmente significativi nell’ambito della tematica scelta: il progetto di restauro della chiesa della Madeleine a Vézelay (1840-1859) e il progetto della Maison Milon in rue Douai a Parigi (1857-1860).
Attraverso il parallelo lavoro di analisi dei casi-studio e degli scritti di Viollet- le-Duc, si è cercato di verificare le possibili corrispondenze tra teoria e prassi operativa: confrontando i progetti sia con le opere teoriche, sia con la concreta testimonianza degli edifici realizzati.Viollet-le-Duc accounts “style” as «the expression of an ideal, founded on a principle» in which principle embodies the principle of order of the structure.

Starting from this central crux of the mindset of Viollet-le-Duc, this research has the goal of exploring the links between theory and practice in the work of Viollet-le-Duc, in which the “style” marks a constant thread, arising as a possible intepretation of this starring figure in the history of architecture and restoration of the nineteenth century. The research project focuses on a new reading of both published and unpublished documents, in addition to a careful bibliographical and documentary survey and a direct study of architectures. The examination of the archive is dedicated to the systematic analysis of the original drawings of projects and to the technical connections among the works of Viollet-le-Duc.

Through the simultaneous work of analysis of the case-studies and the writing of Viollet-le-Duc, they tried to verify the possible correlations between theory and operational practise, comparing the projects to both the theoretical works and the tangible evidence of the buildings.

À travers le parallèle travail d’analyse des cas-étude et des écrits de Viollet- le-Duc, on a cherché vérifier les possibles correspondances entre théorie et pratique en vigueur: en confrontant les projets soit avec les oeuvres théoriques, soit avec le témoignage concret des édifices réalisés.

Full textAbstract:
Dopo aver introdotto il rapporto esistente tra fiction e biografia e aver individuato come le opere di Müller possano essere considerate opere di autofiction, il presente lavoro si concentra sulla produzione dell’autrice, inserendola in un contesto letterario sperimentale che caratterizza il Novecento tedesco. Nello specifico, il tratto sperimentale individuato nelle opere di Müller è la presenza di una dimensione visiva che interagisce con il testo stesso e che assume diverse funzioni a seconda della tipologia di testo. Per indagare la funzionalità e l’effetto sul lettore dell’elemento visivo, si è scelto di analizzare due tra le prime produzioni letterarie dell’autrice: un cofanetto di collage, Der Wächter nimmt seinen Kamm e una raccolta di testi «ibridi», Barfüßiger Februar. Già a partire dalla peculiarità formale che caratterizza, in modi differenti, le due raccolte, si comprende come la sperimentazione letteraria di Müller si pone in un certo senso «fuori dal coro», lontana da ogni regola formale.
Con il supporto degli studi sull’iconotesto di Michele Cometa e Lilian Louvel, si è potuto parlare di «forme miste», individuando nei testi scelti un utilizzo delle immagini che trasforma il prodotto testuale in un ideale campo d’indagine per le riflessioni sul rapporto tra testo e immagine. L’utilizzo di immagini – evidenti nel cofanetto di collage ed evocate nel caso della raccolta di prose – si rapporta con il testo in modo sempre nuovo: da un lato, con la ricerca istintiva da parte del lettore di una corrispondenza referenziale – non sempre presente – tra testo e immagine, dall’altro con la rappresentazione di contenuti taciuti dal testo, attraverso l’evocazione e la ripetizione di immagini in particolari momenti testuali, per mezzo di elementi stilistici e retorici quali l’ipotiposi.

La tesi si pone l’obiettivo di fare luce sulla personalità poco nota del pittore veneziano Carlo Alvise Fabris (1747-1803), un artista marginale, le cui opere superstiti risultano essere disseminate in Veneto, in Friuli Venezia Giulia, in Slovenia e in Croazia.
Relegato dalle grandi commissioni pubbliche e assoggettato alle più modeste committenze, ancor oggi non gli è riconosciuto alcun merito. Lo studio vagliato nel presente lavoro, prende avvio dalla lettura di un’opera letteraria postuma, composta nel 1814 da Giovanni Prosdocimo Zabeo, un professore di teologia dell’università di Padova.
Lo Zabeo, amico personale del Fabris, gli dedicò delle brevi Memorie, con l’intenzione di far conoscere ai posteri il ritratto biografico e l’attività artistica del pittore.

Este trabalho apresenta uma investigação acerca do Oitavo Livro de Madrigais de 1638, de Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643), obra oferecida à Sacra e Cesárea Majestade Imperador Ferdinando III, ascensionado ao trono máximo do Ocidente em 1637. São delineados o contexto histórico que envolve a obra bem como questões relativas à publicação e dedicatória da coleção de madrigais. É apresentada também uma análise de seu prefácio segundo preceptivas retóricas do gênero demonstrativo ou epidíctico que revelam chaves discursivas e importantes e tópoi que são substanciais para o entendimento da questão ética e patética em música. Tais questões incidem diretamente nas diretrizes performáticas previstas por Monteverdi para realização do stile concitato, procedimento musical encontrado nos Madrigali Guerrieri. Também é realizada uma exegese do textos poéticos dos madrigais onde é revelada a figuração do Eros guerreiro e militante contemplado nas elegias de Propércio e Ovídio bem como nos livros de emblemas amatórios do XVI XVII. Por último, procura-se demonstrar que o stile concitato e seus procedimentos peculiares são dispositivos de ornato dos afetos sugeridos pelos textos dos madrigais, manejados habilmente na música do compositor.The present work is an investigation about Claudio Monteverdi\'s (1567-1643) Eight Book of Madrigals of 1638, offered to the Sacre and Cesarean Majesty of the Emperor Ferdinand III, ascended to the Ocident high throne in the year 1637. We trace the work historical context and the questions about its publication and dedicatory. We present an analysis of its preface according to the rethoric prescriptions of the demonstrative or epidictic genre which reveals significant discoursive keys and tópoi to the comprehension of the ethical and pathetical matter in music. These questions directly affect Monteverdi\'s performatic guidelines in his stile concitato, a musical procedure found inside the Madrigali Guerrieri. We also do an exegesis of the poetic texts of the madrigals where is revealed the warrior and militant Eros figuration conceived in Propertius and Ovid\'s elegies as well as in the amatory emblem books of XVI and XVII centuries. Finally, we intend to demonstrate that the stile concitato and its procedures are embellishment devices of the affects of the poetic texts in the madrigals, artfully managed in the composer music.

Full textAbstract:
In 1638 Girolamo Fantini wrote eight multi-sectional trumpet sonatas. This dissertation compares these sonatas with recognized stile moderno solo instrumental sonatas by Biagio Marini and Dario Castello in order to show that Fantini’s sonatas are stile moderno trumpet sonatas. This study looks at how form, texture, motivic organization, and instrumental effects function in the works of Castello, Marini, and Fantini. This comparison shows how and to what degree Fantini uses stile moderno characteristics in his works and concludes that Fantini’s sonatas are full-fledged examples of stile moderno trumpet sonatas.

Full textAbstract:
”Sommar” är ett av de allra främsta exemplen på Inger Edelfeldts skicklighet som novellförfattare. Genom ett antal stilistiska och berättartekniska grepp utnyttjar hon novellens begränsade utrymme optimalt. Edelfeldt förmedlar här motiv och tema, utan att behöva ge avkall på vare sig person- eller miljöskildring och hon lyckas dessutom förmedla en rikedom av känsla och undermening. Uppsatsens syfte är att klargöra på vilket sätt Inger Edelfeldt skapar mening i novellen, utan att behöva skriva ned varenda bokstav i den historia hon vill förmedla: Vilka stilistiska och berättartekniska grepp används? Och vilken betydelse får dessa för tolkningen av berättelsen? Uppsatsen fokuserar på fyra olika analysområden (med såväl kvantitativa som kvalitativa drag): det sinnliga, det ljusa och det mörka, det rituella samt det utelämnade och det antydda. Det är just genom att använda sig av dessa stildrag och berättartekniska grepp som Edelfeldt, trots den knapphändiga informationen, skapar en djupare mening i texten.

Full textAbstract:
Still pictures, animations and videos are used by artists to tell stories visually. Computer graphics algorithms create visual stories too, either automatically, or, by assisting artists. Why is it so hard to create algorithms that perform like a trained visual artist? The reason is that artists think about where a viewer will look at and how their attention will flow across the scene, but algorithms do not have a similarly sophisticated understanding of the viewer.
Our key insight is that computer graphics algorithms should be designed to take into account how viewer attention is allocated. We first show that designing optimization terms based on viewers’ attentional priorities allows the algorithm to handle artistic license in the input data, such as geometric inconsistencies in hand-drawn shapes. We then show that measurements of viewer attention enables algorithms to infer high-level information about a scene, for example, the object of storytelling interest in every frame of a video.
All the presented algorithms retarget or augment the traditional form of a visual art. Traditional art includes artwork such as printed comics, i.e., pictures that were created before computers became mainstream. It also refers to artwork that can be created in the way it was done before computers, for example, hand-drawn animation and live action films. Connecting traditional art with computational algorithms allows us to leverage the unique strengths on either side. We demonstrate these ideas on three applications:
Retargeting and augmenting animations: Two widely practiced forms of animation are two-dimensional (2D) hand-drawn animation and three-dimensional (3D) computer animation. To apply the techniques of the 3D medium to 2D animation, researchers have attempted to compute 3D reconstructions of the shape and motion of the hand-drawn character, which are meant to act as their ‘proxy’ in the 3D environment. We argue that a perfect reconstruction is excessive because it does not leverage the characteristics of viewer attention. We present algorithms to generate a 3D proxy with different levels of detail, such that at each level the error terms account for quantities that will attract viewer attention. These algorithms allow a hand-drawn animation to be retargeted to a 3D skeleton and be augmented with physically simulated secondary effects.
Augmenting stills: Moves-on-stills is a technique to engage the viewer while presenting still pictures on television or in movies. This effect is widely used to augment comics to create ‘motion comics’. Though state of the art software, like iMovie, allows a user to specify the parameters of the camera move, it does not solve the problem of how the parameters are chosen. We believe that a good camera move respects the visual route designed by the artist who crafted the still picture; if we record the gaze of viewers looking at composed still pictures, we can reconstruct the artist’s intention. We show, through a perceptual study, that the artist succeeds in directing viewer attention in comic book pictures, and we present an algorithm to predict the parameters of camera moves-on-stills from statistics derived from eyetracking data.
Retargeting video: Video retargeting is the process of altering the original video to fit the new display size, while best preserving content and minimizing artifacts. Recent techniques define content as color, edges, faces and other image-based saliency features. We suggest that content is, in fact, what people look at. We introduce a novel operator that extends the classic “pan-and-scan” to introduce cuts in addition to automatic pans based on viewer eyetracking data. We also present a gaze-based evaluation criterion to quantify the performance of our operator.
