Portraits of Livia in Asia Minor
No full textBu çalışmada, Roma İmparatorluğu'nun doğudakien önemli eyaletlerinden birisi olan Küçük Asya'da elegeçmiş Livia portreleri tipolojik acıdan ele alınacaktır.Söz konusu eserler, bugüne kadar Livia portrelerinikonu alan birçok çalışmada ele alınmıştır. Ancak konuile ilgili en kapsamlı ve güncel yayın, E. Bartman'a aittir.Araştırmacı yayınında adı geçen coğrafyadaki portreleri Marbury Hall tipinin birer varyantı olarak kabuletmiştir. Ancak tarafımızca yapılan gözlemler, bu portrelerin Fayumtipini de ayırt edici özelliklerine sahip olduklarını ve hatta bu iki tipe yabancı unsurları da taşıdıklarını ortaya koymuştur. Makalede öncelikli olarakbu iki tipin ayırt edici özelliklerinden bahsedilecek, ardından Küçük Asya eserlerinin bu tiplerin hangi özellik/özelliklerine sadık kalınarak uygulama bulduğu üzerinde durulacak ve yabancı unsurlar için de önerilersunulacaktır.This article treats from a typological perspective the portraits of Livia, portraits originating from the major eastern provinces of the Roman Empire, as also from Asia Minor. These portraits have already been analysed in scholarly works. In this respect E. Bartman has presented the most recent and comprehensive scientific analysis. The author has stated that the portraits in question were variants of the Marbury Hall statuary type. However, observation shows these portraits carry the characteristics of more than one portrait-type, for example of the Fayum type. In addition, they have completely different elements from this type. The following article first addresses the differences between the two types and subsequently, the question is discussed, as to which characteristics of these types can be observed in the Livia portraits fromAsia Minor. Finally, the postulated different elements arestated
Developing an open access croplands research database through global collaboration
No full textThis article describes the processes, challenges, and outcomes of a project undertaken by Kansas State University (K-State) Libraries and a global community of researchers. The project, initiated by
librarians in the newly created Faculty and Graduate Services Department, involved collaboration with a K-State agronomist. The
initial concept was to create an open access database of croplands research submitted by researchers from the Global Research
Alliance Croplands Research Group, a consortium of over 30 countries. Due to the project’s complexity, it was determined that a more manageable approach would be to pilot the project by including research from only the United States and Australia to resolve problems before scaling up to include all 34 countries in the GRA Croplands Research Group

Livia: Data-Centric Computing Throughout the Memory Hierarchy
No full text© 2020 Copyright held by the owner/author(s). Publication rights licensed to ACM. In order to scale, future systems will need to dramatically reduce data movement. Data movement is expensive in current designs because (i) traditional memory hierarchies force computation to happen unnecessarily far away from data and (ii) processing-in-memory approaches fail to exploit locality. We propose Memory Services, a flexible programming model that enables data-centric computing throughout the memory hierarchy. In Memory Services, applications express functionality as graphs of simple tasks, each task indicating the data it operates on. We design and evaluate Livia, a new system architecture for Memory Services that dynamically schedules tasks and data at the location in the memory hierarchy that minimizes overall data movement. Livia adds less than 3% area overhead to a tiled multicore and accelerates challenging irregular workloads by 1.3× to 2.4× while reducing dynamic energy by 1.2× to 4.7×
Mirror Acts: Dramatic Form in Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author and Beckett’s Waiting for Godot
No full textPirandello is among the first playwrights to reshape the very notion of theatre and pave the way for a postmodern understanding of the human. By fixing one of drama’s cardinal axes—space—and making it simultaneously literal and inherently static—Pirandello frees the other—time—thereby undoing the core of the dramatic arc. This simple shift repositions both plot and characters, placing them in a cosmology which tauntingly ignores them. Their experience—and by extension the human experience—becomes inherently aimless. In this latter light, Pirandello’s characters are an anticipation of Beckett’s. While this is indubitably an important point of contact between the two, it is the similarity in their structural redefinition of spacetime, that allows both to pave the way for a pivotal revolution of form that will bloom in the works of their heirs—Pinter and Stoppard, primarily—and anticipate postdramatic theatre. In this light, Six Characters in Search of an Author, first staged in Rome and Paris in 1921 a time when Beckett would have been exposed to a response to it, plants a lasting seed
Per un’educazione universale. La via del Buddhismo nelle società post-secolari
No full textThe paper examines Buddhism as a religion that suggests to the post-modern and post-secular West a new, inclusive, non-violent and ecological education. It proposes an universal education that responds to the request of religiosity of our societies. Buddhism is investigated as a millennial pedagogy, in which the path of spiritual growth coincides with a path of self-education that is articulated through an interior and social education. The center of the Buddhist doctrine is the meditation (dhyan), that leads the disciple, with the support of a master and the community, for a rebirth that, declaring him as the author of his own realization, leads him to establish empathic relationship with the others human beings
The Making of a London Author
No full text“The Making of a London Author” will expand further on Joyce’s interactions with Cambridge-based institutions such as C. K. Ogden’s Orthological Institute and London-based ones, including the publisher Faber and Faber and Eliot’s work there. Scholarship has largely overlooked Eliot’s ambitious plans for the international availability of Joyce’s work through London: the promotion of the Anna Livia Plurabelle record, the Anna Livia Plurabelle and Haveth Childers Everywhere pamphlets, and the contract for the long-pending Finnegans Wake. The chapter will delineate Joyce’s close collaborations with Ogden and Eliot to promote his work through divergent media alongside Herbert Hughes’ presentation of the Anna Livia Plurabelle record in London’s Daily Telegraph newspaper. The impact of such strategies on other publishing outlets including the Times newspaper will also be assessed.</p
Climax Change! How Architecture Must Transform in the Age of Ecological Emergency
No full textThe opening phrases in Pedro Gadanho’s Climax Change! are, in his words, a “shock proposal” (p. 14). He tells us that we have to stop making new buildings. We need this, says the author, to save us from climate change. This idea is quite provocative and interesting at the same time; it could be click-bait to convince the reader to go on with the book to learn how to make it rea
Pratiche educative di comunità. Una prospettiva storica
No full textThis paper focuses on a common aspect between of the experiences of Philosophy for Children and other experiences of philosophical practice: the community as an inclusive and empathetic educational place. Starting from the current crisis of the sense of community and from the community educational need present in contemporary society, the author reconstructs the community practices that, since ancient times, were realized through a dialectic between openness and closure, between community as a closed place of protection and as an open place of educational care. Today, in the era of sad passions and growing loneliness, it is desirable that places are animated by desire and not by need, becoming communities that reawaken joyful passions, where it is promoted an ethics of solidarity and responsibility aimed at a planetary community
A coral skeleton geochemical record of surface water properties in the Oman upwelling region
No full textGeochemical records from scleractinian corals have the potential to reconstruct surface water temperature and salinity, expanding temporal and spatial coverage beyond that available from in situ and remotely sensed data and clarifying the ocean's role in climate change. Here, I present [Greek letter delta]18O and Sr/Ca records from a Porites coral near the shelf-break off southern Oman to evaluate the potential for reconstructing monsoon upwelling histories. This sample represents growth (19 mm y⁻¹) during August 1989 to April 1996. Both [Greek letter delta]18Ocoral (-3.7 to -5.0 0/00 [subscript PDB]) and Sr/Ca (9.0 to 9.6 mmol mol[superscript-1]) records anticorrelate strongly with weekly instrumental sea-surface temperature (SST) records from several sources (IGOSS, Pathfinder 5 (Pv5) AVHRR, and COADS). A systematic comparison shows that the Pv5 AVHRR quality 3 SST dataset is the most appropriate choice for calibrating the Sr/Ca proxy, largely because of its maximal temporal coverage of demonstrably accurate data. Using the optimal calculated SST-Sr/Ca calibration of -15.525 ([plus or equal to symbol] 1.83) °C mol mmol[superscript-1] and the assumed SST-[delta]¹⁸O calibration of -4.76 ([plus or equal to symbol]0.69) °C 0/00[subscript PDB⁻¹ [Ren et al., 2002] to reconstruct the isotopic composition of the ambient seawater ([delta]¹⁸O[subscript sw]), the mean annual [delta]¹⁸O[subscript sw] variation ranges were determined to be 0.5-0.9 0/00 [subscriptPDB]. The timing and relative magnitude of these variations were consistent with known hydrography (isotopically lighter during SW monsoon, scaling with SST minima) but were greater than anticipated from observed annual salinity changes of ~1.0 and the estimated [delta]¹⁸O[subscript sw]-salinity relationship for regional surface waters. Simulations of reconstructed [delta]¹⁸O[subscript sw] using minimum SST-Sr/Ca and maximum SST-[delta]¹⁸O calibration slopes from the literature showed that the resultant mean annual range of [delta]¹⁸O[subscript sw] (0.4 0/00 [subscriptPDB]) was closer to the expected magnitude. I conclude that: (1) Sr/Ca measurements provide a very good record of SST variations, particularly the interannual variation in the SW monsoon minimum, and (2) derived [delta]¹⁸O[subscript sw] records indicate salinity variations that may be accurate in timing and relative magnitude but are unrealistically large in absolute magnitude. This coral holds strong promise for reconstructing multi-decade absolute SST and relative salinity records associated with climate-related variations in the Arabian Sea upwelling system.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Livia Marie Monton
