"Second order" exploratory data analysis of the large scale gas injection test (lasgit) dataset, focused around known gas migration events
No full textWithin large-scale experimental datasets a wealth of small scale information can typically be found. An example of such an experiment is the Large Scale Gas Injection Test (Lasgit). A toolkit has been developed to facilitate the investigation of the small scale or ‘second order’ detail contained within Lasgit’s dataset. Results obtained through application include: quantifications of trends and seasonal effects; and second order gas transmission spurring from a primary macro scale transmission event.Geoscience & EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
Perception du temps et du rythme induite par la musique au cinéma

Comme l’énonce Ingmar Bergman, « Un film, c’est principalement un rythme; c’est une séquence continue d’inspirations et d’expirations. » Les potentialités de structuration, d’articulation et d’évolution du temps par le prisme rythmique à partir de n’importe quel flux (cadrage et composition du plan, musique, son, dialogues, etc.) sont souvent envisagées en matière d’expérience cinématographique du spectateur au sens le plus large. Nous nous proposons dans ce livre de compléter cette approche par une analyse des discours théoriques sur la perception du temps et du rythme induite précisément par la musique au cinéma. Nous irons à la source même de ces expériences pour mettre en lumière tous les enjeux techniques de la composition pour l’image contribuant à la perception spectatorielle du temps, à savoir les œuvres elles-mêmes, par l’analyse de séquences au sein desquelles la relativité de la perception du temps nous semble une composante essentielle de leur résultante artistique.While it goes without saying that time and rhythm remain the unalterable essence of all music, it is not trivial to remind ourselves that every film is also forged by the way they are articulated and structured. As Ingmar Bergman remarks: “Film is mainly rhythm: it is inhalation and exhalation in continuous sequence.” The possibilities for the structuring, articulation and evolution of time through the prism of the rhythm of any stream (framing and shot composition, music, sound, dialogue, etc.) are often envisaged with respect to the viewer’s experience of cinema in the broadest sense, which is also intrinsically a part of this relativity of perception. We have in this book set ourselves the task of rounding out this approach with an analysis of theoretical discourses on the perception of time and rhythm induced, precisely, by music in cinema. We will go to the very source of these experiences to shine a light on all the technical issues of composing for the image which contribute to the viewer’s perception of time, meaning of the films themselves, by analysing sequences in which the relativity of the perception of time appears to us to be an essential element of the artistic result

Iron-working at Cunsey Forge: the archaeological and documentary evidence from an initial survey
No full textThe author presents documentary and archaeological evidence for the location and period of use of Cunsey Forge, a bloomery forge located on land adjacent to Cunsey Beck, on the west bank of Windermere, from 1618 to the mid-eighteenth century. The author discusses its location, origins and ironmasters, the characteristics of blast furnaces and refining forges in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the raw materials needed, transport, the protracted closure of the forge, and later developments concerning the site. A description of the surviving visible surface features is given, along with an account of a geophysical survey and the limited excavation of part of the main building. The different phases of use, and finds from the investigation, and described

Le travail de la forge à Fort-Témiscamingue : un facteur de développement dans l'occupation du territoire
No full textThe existence of a forge at Fort Témiscamingue, in Quebec, has been well demonstrated through various archeological digs on the site of this old Hudson Bay trading post. In addition to the architectural remains associated with this building, a vast collection of artifacts fosters a greater understanding of the blacksmith's role and work. The collection of objects reviewed by the author, from the raw materials and tools to the finished products of the day, illustrates the critical importance of the forge in the fur trade network. Forge activities also indicate Fort Témiscamingue's role as a service centre and regional depot. The blacksmith made essential products for outlying satellite trading posts, ensured the maintenance of the tools that were necessary for survival in these remote areas, and fostered the development and the settlement of the territory by adapting to changing practices and to the arrival of new interest groups, who signalled the beginning of the end of the fur trade in the region.
Résumé
La présence d'un atelier de forge à Fort-Témiscamingue, au Québec, a été amplement démontrée lors de diverses interventions archéologiques réalisées sur le site de cet ancien poste de traite de la Compagnie de la Baie d'Hudson. En plus des vestiges architecturaux associés à ce bâtiment, une abondante collection d'artefacts permet désormais de mieux saisir le rôle et le travail du forgeron. Comme le fait valoir l'auteur, de la matière première et des outils aux produits finis, cet assemblage d'objets illustre l'importance capitale du travail de la forge dans le réseau d'échange de la traite des fourrures. Les activités de forge évoquent aussi plus particulièrement le rôle joué par Fort-Témiscamingue en tant que lieu de services et dépôt régional. Le forgeron y approvisionnait en produits essentiels les postes de traite satellites dispersés ici et là, assurait l'entretien des outils nécessaires à la survie dans ces contrées éloignées et favorisait le développement et l'occupation du territoire, en s'adaptant aux pratiques changeantes et à la venue de nouveaux acteurs qui allaient bientôt sonner le glas de la traite des fourrures dans la région
The Dialectical Forge ::Juridical Disputation and the Evolution of Islamic Law /
No full textThe Dialectical Forge identifies dialectical disputation (jadal) as a primary formative dynamic in the evolution of pre-modern Islamic legal systems, promoting dialectic from relative obscurity to a more appropriate position at the forefront of Islamic legal studies. The author introduces and develops a dialectics-based analytical method for the study of pre-modern Islamic legal argumentation, examines parallels and divergences between Aristotelian dialectic and early juridical jadal-theory, and proposes a multi-component paradigm-the Dialectical Forge Model-to account for the power of jadal in shaping Islamic law and legal theory. In addition to overviews of current evolutionary narratives for Islamic legal theory and dialectic, and expositions on key texts, this work shines an analytical light upon the considerably sophisticated "proto-system" of juridical dialectical teaching and practice evident in Islam's second century, several generations before the first "full-system" treatises of legal and dialectical theory were composed. This proto-system is revealed from analyses of dialectical sequences in the 2nd/8th century Kitāb Ikhtilāf al-'Irāqiyyīn / 'Irāqiyyayn (the "subject-text") through a lens molded from 5th/11th century jadal-theory treatises (the "lens-texts"). Specific features thus uncovered inform the elaboration of a Dialectical Forge Model, whose more general components and functions are explored in closing chapters
forge: the f(R)-gravity cosmic emulator project - I. Introduction and matter power spectrum emulator
No full text\ua9 2022 The Author(s) Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Royal Astronomical Society.We present a large suite of cosmological simulations, the forge (F-of-R Gravity Emulator) simulation suite, which is designed to build accurate emulators for cosmological observables in galaxy clustering, weak gravitational lensing, and galaxy clusters for the f(R)-gravity model. A total of 200 simulations explore the cosmological parameter space around a standard Planck cosmology with a Latin hypercube, for 50 combinations of ,m, σ8, and h with all other parameters fixed. For each parameter combination, or node, we ran four independent simulations, one pair using 10243 particles in simulation boxes to cover small scales, and another pair using 5123 simulation particles in boxes for larger scales. Each pair of initial conditions is selected such that sample variance on large scales is minimized on average. In this work we present an accurate emulator for the matter power spectrum in f(R) gravity trained on forge. We have verified, using the cross-validation technique, that the emulator accuracy is better than for the majority of nodes, particularly around the centre of the explored parameter space, up to scales of . We have also checked the power spectrum emulator against simulations that are not part of our training set and found excellent agreement. Due to its high accuracy on small scales, the forge matter power spectrum emulator is well suited for weak-lensing analysis and can play a key tool in constraining f(R) gravity using current and future observational data
