Abstract:
Au cours de notre analyse sur la subjectivité dans Les Fleurs du Mal, il nous a semblé nécessaire de commencer par la dernière section, intitulée « La Mort ». En effet, lorsque l’on traite non pas du sujet mais de la subjectivité, fonction naturelle dans la relation entre le sujet et les autres, l’analyse de la fin devient fondamentale, car la perte qui en résulte révèle une subjectivité réduite à néant. Cette analyse de « La Mort » nous guide vers des éléments clef sur cette notion baudelairienne, d’autant plus que ce poème qui termine le recueil s’achève par cette mort à laquelle est vouée toute personne, y compris nous-même. Il semble ainsi que la subjectivité de cette œuvre fonctionne uniquement grâce à sa relation avec les lecteurs. Les Fleurs du Mal commence par « Bénédiction », suivi de « Spleen et Idéal », puis « Au lecteur » placé en tant que prologue. « Tableaux parisiens » suit dans la deuxième édition. En passant les trois sections, « Le Vin », « Fleurs du Mal » et « Révolte », « Le Voyage » conclut ce recueil qui se distingue du néant par les deux naissances du poète, évoquées dans « Bénédiction » et « La Mort ». Bien que Les Fleurs du Mal ait été condamné en 1857 et que les six pièces aient été supprimées, Baudelaire a réécrit les trente-cinq nouveaux poèmes et publié en 1861 la deuxième édition : cette expérience mortelle des Fleurs du Mal a une influence sur la mort baudelairienne qui donne naissance à un type de subjectivité unique. « La Mort » que l’on traite de façon thématique était pourtant, dans l’édition de 1857, composée par les trois poèmes, « La Mort des amants », « La Mort des pauvres » et « La Mort des artistes ». Puis, dans l’édition de 1861, Baudelaire a ajouté les trois nouveaux poèmes, « La Fin de la journée », « Le Rêve d’un curieux » et « Le Voyage ». « La Mort des artistes » est le dernier poème de la première édition et répond à la naissance du poète dans « Bénédiction ». On peut le comparer au « Voyage », le dernier poème de la deuxième édition, dans lequel le poète ordonne à la mort en ces mots : « ô Mort, vieux capitaine, il est le temps ! levons l’ancre ! », telle une allégorie sombre qui présage la fin de la vie. C’est alors que l’on se rend compte qu’avec le « Voyage » la signification du recueil change radicalement, car il nous apprend que la mort n’est que le commencement
In our analysis of subjectivity in The Flowers of Evil, it seemed necessary to start with the last section, entitled "Death". Indeed, when we treat not the subject but subjectivity, a natural function in the relationship between the subject and others, the analysis of the end becomes fundamental, because the resulting loss reveals a subjectivity reduced to nothing. This analysis of "Death" guides us to key elements on this baudelairian notion, especially as this poem that ends the collection ends with the death to which is committed all persons, including ourselves. It thus seems that the subjectivity of this work only functions thanks to its relation with the readers.The Flowers of Evil begins with "Blessing," followed by "Spleen and Ideal," then "To the Reader" placed as a prologue. "Parisian paintings" follows in the second edition. By passing the three sections, "The Wine", "Flowers of Evil" and "Revolt", "The Journey" concludes this collection which is distinguished from nothing by the two births of the poet, evoked in "Blessing" and "Death" . Although The Flowers of Evil was condemned in 1857 and the six plays were removed, Baudelaire rewrote the thirty-five new poems and published in 1861 the second edition : this deadly experience of the Flowers of Evil has an influence on death baudelairian that gives birth to a unique type of subjectivity. "The death" that is treated thematically was however, in the edition of 1857, composed by the three poems, "The Death of the lovers", "The Death of the poor" and "The Death of the artists". Then, in the 1861 edition, Baudelaire added the three new poems, "The End of a Day," "The Dream of a Curious One" and "The Journey." "The Death of the artists" is the last poem of the first edition and responds to the birth of the poet in "Blessing". It can be compared to the "Voyage", the last poem of the second edition, in which the poet orders death in these words : “O Death, old captain, it is time! let's raise the anchor!” As a dark allegory that presages the end of life. It is then that one realizes that with "The Journey" the meaning of the collection changes radically, because it teaches us that death is only the beginning

Abstract:
How could culinary science and technology educate us about food through engagement and reflection? In this project, I proposed to uncover opportunities for design intervention within our near-future scenarios of cooking and eating in a home environment. My intent has been to use interaction design methodology to form social practices that turn the process of making and eating food more pleasurable and inspiring, while developing one’s individual knowledge, without being didactic and prescriptive. The hypothesis has been that culinary science simplified, combined with today’s data-driven technologies, have the potential to foster creativity and experimentation among hobby cooks. The aim has been to discover the consequences of cloud data and connected technologies on experimentation, which is inherently driven by human intuition. My approach has been to explore what behaviors such data-driven systems designed for eliciting creativity could possess, and what kind of inspiration the science of flavor could bring into everyday cooking. The result is a set of design principles for how creative cooking explorations can be fostered through tangible and embodied experiences. It is manifested in a concept that creates a ‘culinary safe zone’ by encouraging experimentation, presenting information on demand, but without overshadowing the cook’s intuition. The concept Curious Cuisine allows non-professional cooks to create their own unique dishes; to explore ingredient pairings, preparation techniques, and fine-tuning flavors.

McConkie, Thomas O. "Curious Growth of a Buried SiO2 Layer." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2012. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/3755.

Full text
Abstract:
Initial investigation of Moxtek wire grid polarizers composed of Al and coated with SiO2 - SiX - SiO2 (where SiX is used to indicate a Si rich layer whose complete composition is not to be disclosed for proprietary reasons) showed a growth of 3x in the inner (closest to Al) SiO2 layer after baking. Upon removing the X and varying rib composition and layering composition and geometries in 12 sets of before and after samples, no obvious growth was observed. Even baking the original unbaked sample yielded no growth. Our data suggest that the initial conclusion of buried oxide growth was flawed and that the observed changes in optical properties upon baking are either very sensitive to layer thicknesses (smaller than we can confidently observe) or due to some other mechanism. Here we present our sample preparation and analysis using the Focused Ion Beam (FIB), Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM), and Energy Dispersive Xray Spectroscopy (EDXS).

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the portrayal of gentleman collectors in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century literature, arguing that they often find themselves challenged and destabilised by their collections. The collecting depicted contrasts revealingly with the Enlightenment practices of classification, taxonomy, and commodification, associated with the growth of both the public museum and the market economy. The dominance of such practices was bound up with the way they promoted subject-object relations that defined and empowered masculine identity. In the Dialectic of Enlightenment Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer note that “[i]n the most general sense of progressive thought, the Enlightenment has always aimed at liberating men from fear and establishing their sovereignty” (3). That being so, this study explores how the drive to classify and commodify the material world found oppositional, fictional form in gothicly inflected texts depicting a fascinating but frightening world of unknowable, alien objects and abject, emasculated subjects. The study draws upon Fred Botting’s contention that gothic extremes are a reaction to the “framework” of “reductive and normalising limits of bourgeois morality and modes of production” (89). Examining novels and short stories by Richard Marsh, M.R. James, Arthur Machen, Vernon Lee, George Gissing, Wilkie Collins, Bram Stoker, Mary Cholmondeley, and Mary Ward, the thesis shows how gothicised instances of unproductive-masochism, pathological collecting, thwarted professionals, and emasculated heirs broke down the “framework” within which men and material culture were understood to interact productively and safely. Individual chapters dealing respectively with acquisition, possession, dissemination and inheritance, respond to the recent “material turn” in the humanities, bringing together literary criticism and historically grounded scholarship to reveal the collector and the collection as the locus 3 for concerns with masculinity and materiality that preoccupied a turn-of-the-century mindset.

Abstract:
Community website for programming related Q&A (Question and Answer), Stack Overflow serves as a popular platform to ask questions and respond from other community members. Over the period, user posts on Stack Overflow have turned into a source of valuable information for programmers and the programming industry. By understanding the essential topic of discussions among developers, new insights found about developers' changing trends and needs. This thesis proposes an analysis of user posts on Stack Overflow to find topics of user posts. Distributed topics in the text content of user posts extracted by using the topic modelling technique. Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) is applied for topic discovery and extracted the optimal number of topics. The trend of developer interest derived by combining the view count of questions and discovered topics. Based on the analysis within the thesis's scope, developers discuss topics ranging from programming languages, language runtimes, storage, cloud to networking. Scripting programming languages are more discussed compared to non-scripting languages. Discovered topics consist of several recurring categories, i.e., Web Development, Data management and UI development. According to our findings, Machine Learning is gaining popularity as well as data processing and analytics solutions. Mobile development is another favoured subject among developers. The analysis of research findings has inferred that one technology's popularity also reflects in related technology's popularity trend.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper examines the 1848 Manchu translation of Pu Songling’s Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio (Liaozhai zhiyi聊齋志異) by the Manchu translator Buljigen Jakdan. Though, like most depictions of Manchu translations of Chinese fiction, this text has typically been approached as a literal translation of little use to scholars, this paper draws from translation studies and views it instead as a commentary. Focusing on dream tales, in particular the story “A Fox Dream,” this paper examines Jakdan’s translation of the story within the context of assessments made by contemporaneous commentators. While late imperial commentators sought to police the boundaries between dream and reality that are continually crossed throughout this story – as per the anti-supernatural rhetoric prevalent at the time – Jakdan’s translation instead deliberately blurs the boundary between the two. By closely comparing Jakdan’s translation to the Chinese original, this paper throws Jakdan’s alterations into sharp relief. These include ambiguous word choices, vague phrasing, and several crucial omissions. By continually blurring the boundaries between what is a dream and what is not, the story is complicated even further, thus creating a version of the tale that is uniquely Jakdan’s.

Full text
Abstract:
Poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans (L.) Kuntze) is a native perennial liana widely recognized for the production of urushiol, and the associated contact dermatitis it causes in humans. Poison ivy is predicted to become both more prevalent and more noxious in response to projected patterns of global change. Moreover, poison ivy is an important food source for avian species, and urushiol has numerous applications as a high-value engineering material. Thus, this curious weed has many avenues for future concern, and promise. Here, I address gaps in knowledge about poison ivy ecology and physiology so that we may better understand its weediness and utilize its benefits. I address three core areas: poison ivy establishment patterns; biotic interactions with multiple taxa; and the development of molecular tools for use in poison ivy. I found that the early life stage of seedling emergence is a critical linchpin in poison ivy establishment due largely to herbivore pressure from large grazers. I also describe the multifaceted relationship between poison ivy and avian frugivores that not only disperse the drupes of poison ivy but also aid in reduction of fungal endophytic phytopathogens. A survey of poison ivy urushiols yielded that while variation in urushiol congeners was high across individuals, relative congener levels were stable within individuals over a two month period. Lastly I demonstrate best practices for introducing and transiently expressing recombinant DNA in poison ivy as a step towards future reverse genetic procedures.

Full text
Abstract:
Understanding the evolution of massive stars and their deaths in core-collapse supernovae is of fundamental importance not only to stellar astrophysics, but has implications for other broader areas of astronomy. Massive stars are thought to be the main drivers of the chemical and dynamical evolution of galaxies through their strong stellar winds and their explosive deaths. Supernovae are principally separated into two categories, those without hydrogen (Type I) and those with (Type II). The plateau subclass of Type II supernovae (SNe II-P) are thought to arise from the explosions of red supergiants (RSGs), which have initial masses greater than 8-10 M° and have retained their hydrogen envelopes before core collapse. Until the discovery of the 8 M° red supergiant (RSG) that exploded as SN 2003gd, there had been no direct confirmation that SNe II-P did indeed arise from the explosion of RSGs. Before this detection there had been only two other unambiguous detections of Type II progenitors, neither of which fitted the evolutionary scenario that is commonly accepted. These were the progenitors of the peculiar Type II SN 1987A (Sk —69°202), which was a blue supergiant (BSG), and the Type IIb SN 1993J that arose in a massive interacting binary system. There is at the moment only a handful of well studied and documented SNe II-P. The best observed supernova of this class to date is SN 1999em, which was followed for over 600 days at many different wavelength ranges. Because of the questions that still surround the progenitors of supernovae, it is of vital importance to understand the nature of the supernovae themselves as well as to compare them with the observed progenitor masses. This thesis tells the tales of two SNe II-P, 2003gd and 2004A, which have unambiguous detections of their progenitors with masses of 8 and 9M°, respectively. SN 2003gd is of particular importance because of the question of its nature. It was found to have a lower tail luminosity than is normal for SNe II-P, indicative of a lower ejected nickel mass. However, the supernova does not belong to the proposed group of low-luminosity supernovae, which could either be the result of the low-energy explosion of massive or low-mass stars. In the high-mass model the collapsing core forms a black hole and a significant amount of fallback of material occurs, giving the low-luminosity and low-nickel mass. Instead, SN 2003gd appears to be a member of a continuous heterogeneous group of SNe II-P. This thesis also includes a study of Sher 25, a curious BSG in NGC 3603, which has an impressive emission line nebula in the form of an apparent circumstellar ring and bipolar nebulae. The appearance of the nebula of Sher 25 bears a striking similarity to the rings around the remnant of SN 1987A, which were almost certainly there before the supernova exploded.

Wang, Chen. "What satisfies a curious mind? curiosity prompts novel reward seeking." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/46501.

Full text
Abstract:
In this age of information overload, consumers are bombarded with various curiosity-inducing stimuli from newspapers, TV programs, movies, web banners, etc. Despite its ubiquity in the consumption world, curiosity has surprisingly received little attention in cognitive psychology and consumer behavior research (Kang et al. 2009; Menon and Soman 2002). In the limited research on state curiosity, most attention has been directed to its impact on people’s search for domain-specific information that closes the knowledge gap (Menon and Soman 2002; van Dijk and Zeelenberg 2007). However, as curiosity is also an appetitive state that possesses driving forces (Blumenberg 1983; Loewenstein 1994), it is possible that curiosity could motivate reward-seeking behaviors other than information seeking. My dissertation investigates the impact of curiosity, a cognitive deprivation arising from the perception of a gap in knowledge (Loewenstein 1994), on consumers’ subsequent reward-seeking behaviors. I find that curiosity motivates people to seek rewards, particularly novel rewards, in other unrelated domains, such as physical domains (e.g., money, food) and social domains (e.g., social friendship, charitable donation). This effect occurs as a result of a general appetitive drive and an open mindset, which are both activated by exposure to curiosity cues. I further identify that information content moderates this effect; when people are curious about threatening information, the effect of curiosity on the spillover reward-seeking tendency is mitigated. This research contributes to both the curiosity and the reward-seeking literature. While prior research has shown that curiosity motivates people to seek rewards in the cognitive domain by searching for the missing information, I show that this general motivational dimension of curiosity can prompt people to engage in reward-seeking behaviors in other unrelated domains. Further, I add to the existing spillover reward-seeking studies by showing that such effect induced by curiosity is particularly pronounced for novel rewards. This research also contributes to the reward-seeking literature by exploring how the spillover reward-seeking effect extends to the intangible cognitive and social domains (e.g., cognitive deprivation, social rewards).

Abstract:
Abstract. The topic of this thesis is how culture and intercultural communication manifest themselves in today’s business environments. This thesis reflects on the relevancy and accuracy of the prominent intercultural communication theories of Edward T. Hall (1989) and Geert Hofstede (1986; 2010) in the light of the personal experiences of individuals who are currently working in international business environments. The theories of Hall and Hofstede are regarded by some as the key theories of intercultural communication, which is why these two were chosen as the specific theoretical focus for this thesis. The theories have since received some criticism for taking too many liberties in generalizing entire populations of people based on the perceived prominent aspects of different cultures (e.g. hierarchy of Japanese culture and individualism of American culture). The research method used in this thesis is analytic autoethnography. This choice of research method not only influences the language used in this thesis but also the structure of the paper. The data of this thesis consists of the personal experiences of myself and three interviewees. These personal experiences are examined in the light of the theories of Hall and Hofstede in an attempt to discover how well the theories reflect the real-life experiences of people working in the business world, and to offer the reader insights into how culture manifests itself in business environments. The data used in this thesis shows that while the theories can still be considered somewhat relevant in the intercultural business environments of today, the relevancy seems limited to very specific instances. Additionally, it seems that reliance on the theoretical framework for cultures which the theories provide may even hinder actual intercultural communication situations in the business world. The data also shows that other forms of culture — such as organization culture and profession culture — are perhaps more important than national culture in business contexts, something which the theories of Hall and Hofstede do not seem to address adequately. This thesis does not definitively answer how intercultural communication should be addressed now or in the future. However, this thesis aims to provide the reader with ideas and insights into intercultural communication in real business environments.Tiivistelmä. Tämän opinnäytteen aihe on, kuinka kulttuuri ja interkulttuurinen kommunikaatio ilmentyvät nykypäivän bisnesympäristöissä. Tässä opinnäytteessä tutkitaan, kuinka hyvin Edward T. Hallin (1989) ja Geert Hofsteden (1986; 2010) merkittävät teoriat interkulttuurisesta kommunikaatiosta vastaavat kansainvälisissä bisnesympäristöissä työskentelevien henkilöiden omia kokemuksia. Aikaisemmassa aiheeseen liittyvässä kirjallisuudessa Hallin ja Hofsteden teorioita interkulttuurisesta kommunikaatiosta pidetään merkittävinä, minkä takia nämä kaksi teoriaa valittiin tämän opinnäytteen fokukseksi. Näitä teorioita on kritisoitu muun muassa siitä, että ne yleistävät liian vapaasti kokonaisia väestöryhmiä näennäisesti erilaisten kulttuuripiirteiden perusteella (esimerkiksi hierarkkisuus Japanissa ja individualismisuus Amerikassa). Tässä opinnäytteessä käytetty tutkimusmetodi on analyyttinen autoetnografia. Tutkimusmetodin valinta on vaikuttanut tutkimuksessa sekä tutkimuksen kirjoitustyyliin että opinnäytteen rakenteeseen. Tutkimuksessa käytetty aineisto koostuu sekä tutkijan omista että kolmen haastateltavan henkilökohtaisista kokemuksista. Näitä henkilökohtaisia kokemuksia tarkastellaan Hallin ja Hofsteden teorioiden avulla. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää, kuinka hyvin nämä teoriat vastaavat aineistossa ilmentyviä tosielämän henkilökohtaisia kokemuksia ja kuinka kulttuuri ilmentyy bisnesympäristöissä. Aineistosta ilmenee, että vaikka teorioissa esiintyykin yhtäläisyyksiä todellisten henkilökohtaisten kokemuksien kanssa, teorioiden hyödyt rajoittuvat kuitenkin vain tietynlaisiin tilanteisiin. Lisäksi aineistosta ilmenee, että liiallinen tukeutuminen teorioissa esitettyihin kulttuurisiin raameihin voi jopa osoittautua haitalliseksi todellisissa interkulttuurisissa kommunikaatiotilanteissa. Aineistosta käy myös ilmi, että bisneskonteksteissa kulttuurin muut muodot, kuten organisaatiokulttuuri ja ammattikulttuuri, ovat mahdollisesti olennaisempia kuin kansalliskulttuuri, mitä Hallin ja Hofsteden teoriat eivät käsittele tarpeeksi kattavasti. Tämä opinnäytetyö ei kykene vastaamaan siihen, kuinka interkulttuurista kommunikaatiota pitäisi käsitellä teoreettisesti nyt tai tulevaisuudessa. Työn tavoitteena on kuitenkin tarjota lukijalle ajatuksia ja näkemyksiä siitä, kuinka interkulttuurinen kommunikaatio toimii kansainvälisissä bisnesympäristöissä.

This thesis provides insights into the urban heat island (UHI) effect using a model of the urban microclimate that integrates the urban geometry, anthropogenic heat emission and the rural weather condition. The study builds upon the Urban Weather Generator (UWG), a numerical simulation program previously developed at MIT, incorporating such improvements as monthly disaggregation of ground sink temperature, Depart of Energy (DOE) commercial reference building templates, hourly schedule of building and non-building anthropogenic heat loads, and the development of an Excel user interface. Simulation generated from the updated model offers an explanation of the underlying mechanisms driving the UHI impact and the interactions between elements of the urban weather system. Based on the sensible energy flux transferred to the urban air mass, an UHI indicator to express the severity of UHI effect by the urban landscape is also developed to help urban planners estimate and mitigate the impact.

Abstract:
My dissertation brings together prose texts and poetry by four writers and poets, who published in German language at the beginning of the twentieth century: Hugo von Hofmannsthal (1874-1929), Franz Kafka (1883-1924), Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), and Georg Trakl (1887-1914). All four of these writers are concerned with the inadequacy of language and cognition, the so called Sprachkrise at the turn-of-the-century. In their texts, they challenge the ability of language to function as a means of communication, and as a way to express emotions or relate more deeply to the world. While it is widely recognized that this “crisis of identity” in modernist literature has been a crisis of language all along, I argue in my dissertation that the question of language is ultimately also a question of “the animal.” Other scholars have argued for animals’ poetic agency (e.g. Aaron M. Moe; Susan McHugh), or for the conceptual link between the “crisis of language” and the threat to human exceptionalism in the intellectual milieu of the early twentieth century (Kári Driscoll). My dissertation is the first study that explores the interconnection between Sprachkrise, animality, and the phenomenological philosophy of embodiment. Drawing on Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of phenomenology, I illustrate how Hofmannsthal, Kafka, Rilke and Trakl invoke the body as intertwined with animals in complex ways, and employ these animal figures to reconceptualize notions of language and specifically the metaphor. The authors, I argue, engage in a zoopoetic writing, as other forms of life participate as both symbolic and material bodies in the signifying processes. Moreover, I illustrate how their zoopoetic approach involve forms of intimacy and envision figures that fall outside heteronormative sexualities and ontologies, making the case for a queer zoopoetics in Modernist German literature.

Abstract:
El proyecto que se presenta a continuación trata acerca de la venta de muebles multifuncionales a través de una plataforma web, el cual evidencia la sostenibilidad y escalabilidad del modelo de negocio. La investigación se realiza en Lima Metropolitana y está dirigida a familias del NSE B y C, que viven en departamentos de hasta 80 m2 y se encuentran en una constante búsqueda de maximizar sus espacios. Debido a la creciente demanda de departamentos cada vez más pequeños, el mercado mobiliario acepta la existencia de una tendencia de muebles pequeños, pero con múltiples funciones, ofreciendo adaptabilidad y variedad de acuerdo con los gustos y preferencias de los consumidores. Por ello, se identifican los stakeholders de Dream Home, los cuales son tercerizados durante todo el proceso para satisfacer la demanda del mercado y, por supuesto, lograr superar las expectativas con un valor agregado, el cual se basa en la personalización. La validación de todos los cuadrantes de Business Model Canvas se desarrolla a través de varios experimentos que reconocen y confirman los conceptos descritos en la herramienta. Asimismo, se elabora el desarrollo del plan de negocio, el cual consiste en la elaboración del plan estratégico, el plan de operaciones, el plan de marketing, el plan de responsabilidad social empresarial, el plan de recursos humanos y el plan financiero. Finalmente, se puede asegurar la viabilidad del negocio y presentar el proyecto a los respectivos inversores dispuestos a considerar a Dream Home como una empresa rentable.
The project presented below deals with the sale of multifunctional furniture through a web platform, which shows the sustainability and scalability of the business model. The research is carried out in Metropolitan Lima and is aimed at families from NSE B and C, who live in apartments of up to 80 m2 and are in a constant search to maximize their spaces. Due to the growing demand for smaller and smaller apartments, the furniture market accepts the existence of a trend for small furniture, but with multiple functions, offering adaptability and variety according to the tastes and preferences of consumers. For this reason, Dream Home stakeholders are identified, which are outsourced throughout the process to meet market demand and, of course, exceed expectations with added value, which is based on personalization. The validation of all the Business Model Canvas quadrants is developed through several experiments that recognize and confirm the concepts described in the tool. Likewise, the development of the business plan is prepared, which consists of the preparation of the strategic plan, the operations plan, the marketing plan, the corporate social responsibility plan, the human resources plan and the financial plan. Finally, the viability of the business can be ensured and the project presented to the respective investors willing to consider Dream Home as a profitable company.

Abstract:
The brain begins collecting and categorizing information from the moment we are born. It can identify patterns and direct our choices long before we are consciously aware of it. Even when we become aware of the deliberate choice we often don’t know why we are making it. It is striking how much of what we do is dictated subconsciously by our brains. While I am not a scientist and I don’t aim to research the brain, I think it is interesting to think about how this effects what I do in the studio. I am a product of the world I live in and my work is a product of me.

Full text
Abstract:
The study of biosynthesis is fascinating and with progression in molecular biology, understanding of the field is advancing rapidly. Underpinning all areas of biosynthetic research however, is natural product chemistry. The isolation and characterisation of compounds provides the answers to the questions posed by molecular biology and genetics. Isotopic labelling studies also remain fundamental to the identification of biosynthetic pathways, linking compound structures to genes. The biosynthesis of a multipotent stilbene ST 1, produced by a symbiotic bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens, is studied. The results of isotopic labelling experiments are compared to a biosynthesis of ST 1 proposed by other researchers using orthogonal methods. Mutasynthesis experiments are conducted which produce novel analogues of ST 1. A novel natural product, rhabdolactone 2 and its fluorinated un-natural analogue fluororhabdolactone 3, are discovered in P. luminescens cultures during a mutasynthesis experiment. Isotopic labelling is used to study the biosynthesis of rhabdolactone 2 and a biosynthesis is proposed. The biosynthesis of fusarachromene 4, an alkaloid isolated from cultures of Fusarium sacchari, a sugarcane pathogen, is studied using isotopic labelling experiments and an unusual biosynthesis proposed. The enzymology of tenellin 5 biosynthesis is investigated by heterologous gene expression in A. oryzae. Errors in polyketide chain assembly are observed when tenS a gene encoding a PKS-NRPS is expressed in the absence of tenC which encodes an ER. Co-expression of tenS and tenC is required for biosynthesis the correctly constructed polyketide chain. Magnaporthe grisea is a virulent crop pathogen. The virulence of M grisea has been linked to the activity of Acel, a gene which encodes a PKS-NRPS. The hypothetical ACEl compound has not previously been reported. The isolation and characterisation of a novel pyrone 6 believed to be the oxidised product of the ACEl PKS is described following the successful heterologous expression of Ace1 in A. oryzae.

Abstract:
Curious Cycles responds to the tensions that arise when designing technologies for menstruation and menstrual cycles, touching upon notions of curiosity, noticing, sharing, taking or making space, and our relationships with our bodies and their fluids. The project follows a Research through Design approach, guided by Soma Design and feminist research methods. Curious Cycles are a set of cultural probes; objects and interactions designed to gather experiences and insights from ve people who menstruate, throughout the duration of a cycle (approximately one month). The objects are meant to "cultivate curiosity", provoking reections on the ways we currently relate to our bodies and bodily uids and speculating on how we might relate to them in the future. This work seeks to approach the design method of cultural probes from a feminist perspective and contributes through the concept of "cultivating curiosity", a way to design menstrual cycle technologies by attending closely to the changing social and material experiences of the body, which in turn can challenge the cultural taboos surrounding menstruation.
Curious Cycles svarar mot spänningarna som uppkommer när teknologier designas för menstruation och menstruationscykeln, genom idéer kring nykenhet, att märka, att dela med sig, att ta eller göra plats, och våra relationer med våra kroppar och deras vätskor. Projektet följer en Research through Design metodik, guidad av Soma Design och feministiska forskningsmetoder. Curious Cycles är en uppsättning cultural probes; föremål och interaktioner designade för att samla erfarenheter och insikter från fem menstruerande personer genom deras hela menstruationscykel (vilka pågår cirka en månad). Föremålen är menade att kultivera nykenhet för att framkalla reektioner kring de sätt vi för närvarande relaterar till våra kroppar och kroppsliga vätskor på, och även för att spekulera kring hur vi kan relatera till de i framtiden. Detta arbete närmar sig cultural probes från feministiska perspektiv och bidrar med konceptet "cultivating curiosity", ett sätt att designa teknologier för menstruationscykeln genom att ingående uppmärksamma förändringar av sociala och materiella erfarenheter av kroppen, vilket i sin tur kan utmana kulturella tabun kring menstruation.

Sonho, Narrativa e Psicanálise é uma proposta de articulação entre os três eixos que dão nome à tese. O material apresentado é uma tentativa de explorar uma teoria a partir da combinação desses eixos e representa um esforço para trazer a psicanálise para o campo de estudos das narrativas ficcionais. Assim, os capítulos da tese dividem-se a partir das interseções entre os eixos: sonho e psicanálise; psicanálise e narrativa; narrativa e sonho. O que se propõe é uma investigação em torno do inconsciente, enquanto estruturado como uma linguagem, a partir do material dos sonhos e com a apuração de algumas poéticas literárias e cinematográficas de viés onírico, elegendo-se como pilares epistemológicos a psicanálise e sua influência nas teorias da arte a partir da década de 80, com destaque para os trabalhos de Paul Ricoeur, Peter Brooks e para a crítica de inspiração lacaniana, representada aqui por Jean-Pierre Oudart e Hal Foster. Em que medida tem valor a psicanálise para o campo de estudos narrativos? Onde buscar através dos sonhos e da psicanálise conhecimento sobre as narrativas? A distorção pareceu uma coisa a ser notada e compreendida. Cientes do mal de todo arquivo, ela foi eleita nossa chave de leitura, uma leitura que convoca o sujeito. Procurar o lugar do sujeito, da sutura, dos entretempos, aquele lugar onde o sujeito é convocado, talvez seja a forma privilegiada de trazer a psicanálise para o campo das artes, na medida em que se entenda que a arte implica em uma produção e em uma leitura (virtual) do arquivo (oculto) e que se leve em conta seu arquivamento diferenciado, deformado, distorcido. A primeira parte da tese serve para apresentar ao leitor os termos teóricos com que vamos trabalhar, dando-lhes um contexto, mas também procurando integrar os textos freudianos de uma maneira específica, dentro dos nossos propósitos. Na segunda parte, são abordadas algumas tentativas de aplicação da psicanálise no campo das artes, sendo três os caminhos que se destacaram no âmbito dessa pesquisa. Primeiro, o da crítica que procede analogicamente ao modelo dos sonhos, apresentada por Paul Ricoeur, que identificou o onírico em geral ao enxergar nos sonhos um valor de modelo. Um segundo caminho possível foi delineado por Peter Brooks, que propõe pensar um modelo econômico de narrativa enquanto estrutura espaço-temporal a partir do modelo econômico freudiano. A terceira via de aproximação entre a psicanálise e as artes tem inspiração lacaniana, trazendo para o centro da questão o lugar do sujeito em um modelo topológico. Por fim, a partir desses três caminhos de aplicação da psicanálise ao campo das artes em geral, e da arte narrativa em particular, será formada a base teórica para a análise crítica de um autor, o polonês Bruno Schulz, e de um roteiro cinematográfico original, que surgiu a partir de uma imagem de sonho.
Dream, Narrative and Psychoanalysis is a proposal to articulate the three axes that name this dissertation. The material presented here is an attempt to explore a theory drawing on the combination of those axes, and it represents an effort to bring psychoanalysis to the field of fictional narrative studies. Thus, the chapters of the dissertation are divided based on the intersections between the axes: dream and psychoanalysis; psychoanalysis and narrative; narrative and dream. What is proposed here is an investigation around the language of the unconscious, drawing on the material of dreams, and examining some literary and cinematographic poetics with oneiric features. Psychoanalysis and its influence on theories of art after the 1980 s were elected as the epistemological pillars, highlighting the works of Paul Ricoeur and Peter Brooks and Lacan-inspired critique, here represented by Jean-Pierre Oudart and Hal Foster. To what extent is psychoanalysis valuable for the field of narrative studies? Where to seek knowledge about narratives through dreams and psychoanalysis? Distortion seemed like something to be noted and comprehended. With awareness of the archive fever, it was selected as the key to our reading, a reading that summons the subject. Searching for the place of the subject, of the suture, of the in-between, that place where the subject is summoned, may be the privileged way to bring psychoanalysis to the field of arts, insofar as it is understood that art entails a (virtual) production and a (virtual) reading of the (hidden) archive, and it is taken into account its differentiated, deformed, distorted archiving. The first part of the dissertation serves to present the theoretical terms that are going to be addressed, giving them a context, but also seeking to integrate the Freudian texts in a specific way, within our purposes. In the second part, some attempts of applying psychoanalysis to the field of arts are approached, and three paths stood out within the scope of this research. First, that of the critique that proceeds analogically to the dream model, presented by Paul Ricoeur, who identified the oneiric in general by seeing in dreams the value of a model. A second possible path was outlined by Peter Brooks, who proposes thinking of an economic model of narrative as a spatial-temporal structure based on Freud s economic model. The third path to bring psychoanalysis and art together is inspired by Lacan, foregrounding the issue of the subject s place in a topological framework. Finally, drawing on those three paths of psychoanalysis applied to the field of the arts in general, and of the narrative art in particular, the theoretical basis will have been laid for the critical analysis of an author from Poland, Bruno Schulz, and of an original screenplay, that unfolded from an image in a dream.

Con las nuevas tendencias y con aumento del poder adquisitivo de los chilenos, la celebración de los cumpleaños o algún tipo de eventos infantiles se convierte en todo un desafío. Se necesita tiempo y habilidades para coordinar este evento, para que este resulte de manera perfecta, lamentablemente las familias no disponen de este tiempo por lo que están dispuestas a pagar para la realización de este evento. La problemática la que se enfrentan las familias es la falta de empresas profesionales que presten este tipo de servicios. Estas necesitan empresas serias y de calidad, que puedan cumplir con lo que contrataron. Si bien existen muchas empresas, son de baja calidad, poco profesionales, con servicios estándares y bajos niveles de personalización. Esta necesidad es la que nuestro proyecto de fiestas infantiles, “DreamParty”, pretende abordar. Nuestra propuesta de valor es entregar servicios de alta calidad y personalizados, en donde exista asesoría y apoyo para los clientes desde el momento en que se crea el concepto del evento y su realización, sea éste un sus propios domicilios o bien en instalaciones que Dream Party tendrá en convenio, tales como clubes o centros de recreación. Esto permite que quienes lo organizan, generalmente los padres, eviten el estrés de la realización de estas celebraciones. La empresa comenzará con una oficina en sector oriente, atendiendo al segmento de familias del mismo sector, ya que son ellas quienes destinan mayores recursos a estas celebraciones. Se realizó una evaluación del negocio, analizando la potencialidad del mercado y competencia entre otras variables. De este análisis se pueden resaltar los siguientes puntos: Inversión Inicial: Inversión Inicial de M$34.670 que será financiada con capital propio en partes iguales por ambas socias.  Proyecciones de crecimiento: Se estima un crecimiento de las ventas de un 15%, para los primeros tres años y con un 10% promedio para los 10 años. Costos: Los costos fijos representan el 28% de los costos totales y el 72% son costos variables. Esta situación, está dada por que las que la estructura de remuneraciones esta indexada a la cantidad de eventos realizados.  Utilidad Neta: La utilidad neta en el primer año es de M$5.788, que representa un 5% de las ventas totales para el décimo año esta es de M$35.066 que representa el 10% de las ventas. La viabilidad del proyecto está dada la obtención de un Van de M$ 78.582, con una tasa interna de retorno del 46,447%, y con una recuperación del capital a partir del cuarto año.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the role of conventions of setting in Chaucerian dream poetry. Setting, by my definition, refers not only to the physical features of landscape in these dreams, such as bedchambers and gardens, but also the position of the genre of dream poetry itself within wider literary contexts. I argue that conventions of setting, familiar themes or locations which create expectations in the reader about the content of the dream itself, provide a valuable and largely overlooked perspective upon the genre of Chaucerian dream poetry. By paying close attention to the way that conventions of setting are combined and altered in the landscapes of Chaucerian dream poetry, we can understand more fully the lines of authorial influence that shape the genre, particularly by considering conventional settings such as the temple of glass that are used by a number of different dream poets in differing contexts. Moreover, by considering the dream in its broader setting or context, as autobiographical reflection, mnemonic device, and simultaneous lament for the ephemeral nature of literature and attempt to preserve oneself for posterity, I argue that we can better understand the nature of the genre as a whole. Throughout, I offer an understanding of the Chaucerian dream poem not only as it was written, but also as it was read and responded to, both by contemporary authors and readers, and later critics.

Full text
Abstract:
Despite the fact that nightmares occur with regularity in the general population, most previous research has focused on clinical samples, and the genesis of idiopathic nightmares remains poorly understood. The aim of the present research was therefore to investigate the neuropsychological mechanisms of idiopathic bad dream and nightmare generation, with a particular focus on the limbic system. High versus low levels of limbic activation and its effect on the frequency of dream, bad dream, and nightmare recall, characteristics, and content were investigated using retrospective and prospective measures. Psychosocial stress – a phenomenon which increases activity in the limbic system – and its relationship to bad dreams and nightmares was also investigated, using questionnaires and a prospective dream diary study. Oral contraceptive use was included as a moderator variable as previous research has indicated that this may temper reactions to stress. The general hypothesis that greater activation of the limbic system results in a greater frequency of recall of bad dreams and nightmares, and also results in more negative dream content, was confirmed. It was also found that external factors which increase limbic activation such as psychosocial stress lead to a greater recall of bad dreams and nightmares. Although oral contraceptive use did not moderate the relationship between stress and bad dream and nightmare recall frequency, more generally positive dream content was found in users of oral contraceptives compared to non-users. Taken together, the results of the studies indicate that similar neuropsychological mechanisms may underlie the formation of idiopathic nightmares and nightmares in clinical conditions, and also that increased levels of limbic activation may result most commonly in negative dream content.

Abstract:
Experimental data often contains curious and unexplained results. In the course of experimental investigations of Raman shifting and the Co:MgF₂ laser, results were obtained which would not have been expected from the typical theoretical picture. In the case of Raman shifting, the forward Stokes conversion was found to depend upon the pump bandwidth. Numerical modeling suggests that coupling between the Stokes directions may be the root cause of the phenomena. In the case of the Co:MgF₂ laser, the laser output was observed to have large amounts of spectral structure. This amount of structure should not be expected in a room temperature vibronically broadened laser. Further experiments point to adsorbed water vapor for the cause of the structure, and this hypothesis is supported by a numerical model. Additionally, a unique method for treating the effects of arbitrary gain distribution on the propagation of the lowest order laser cavity mode is expanded to cover new distributions and new coordinate systems. An extension to parametric gains is also made. The extensions are then used to predict unstable regions in real laser cavities. These instabilities are observed in diffraction calculations. Guidelines for observing this intriguing result are presented.
