    No full text
    Resumen: El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la lectura productiva que hace el historiador de arte y filósofo Gottfried Boehm, discípulo de Hans-Georg Gadamer, del pensamiento de Martin Heidegger. Lejos está Boehm de ser un mero comentador de la filosofía del profesor de Friburgo o un “heideggeriano”. Tampoco es un cientista social que busca “aplicar” la teoría del arte heideggeriana en la historia del arte. Mi hipótesis es que la propuesta filosófica de Boehm, sin perder un ápice de originalidad, se sirve de algunos elementos del pensamiento heideggeriano que le permite desarrollar conceptos centrales. Principalmente me abocaré a lo desarrollado por el historiador del arte en Wie Bilder Sinn erzeugen, aunque también se hará referencia a otros textos del autor. Rastrearé este diálogo con Heidegger en tres ideas clave de Boehm: 1. la relación entre la imagen, el mundo y el sentido; 2. la diferencia icónica y; 3. la indeterminación de la imagen.Abstract: The aim of this research is to analyze the productive reading made by the art historian and philosopher Gottfried Boehm, a disciple of Hans-Georg Gadamer, of the thought of Martin Heidegger. Boehm is far from being a mere commentator on the philosophy of the Freiburg professor or a „Heideggerian.“ Neither is he a social scientist seeking to „apply“ Heideggerian art theory to art history. My hypothesis is that Boehm‘s philosophical proposal, without losing originality, makes use of some elements of Heideggerian thought that allow him to develop central concepts. Mainly I will focus on what was developed by the art historian in Wie Bilder Sinn erzeugen, although reference will also be made to other texts by the author. I will trace this dialogue with Heidegger on three key ideas of Boehm: 1. the relationship between the image, the world and meaning; 2. the iconic difference and; 3. the indeterminacy of the image

    Doutoramento em Música – PerformanceO presente trabalho trata o tema da interpretação de música barroca na flauta de sistema Boehm. Efectivamente, o tema da interpretação de música barroca em instrumentos modernos vem ocupando, desde há algumas décadas atrás, um lugar muito importante nas preocupações dos músicos, instrumentistas, musicólogos e investigadores, tendo despoletado divisões entre eles. Essas divisões, assim como as polémicas que o Movimento de Música Antiga veio gerar, estão hoje em dia mais ultrapassadas, assistindo-se portanto a um interesse crescente pelas interpretações historicamente informadas. Resultado de uma análise comparativa de gravações de interpretações desde cerca de 1960 até aos nossos dias, articulada com a realização de entrevistas e com a experiência pessoal, foi proposta uma sistematização de um núcleo de recursos expressivos incontornáveis do estilo barroco, com vista à sua utilização na criação de uma interpretação de duas obras barrocas pela autora (Sonata em Dó Maior, BWV 1033 e Sonata em Mi menor, BWV 1034, de J. S. Bach), assim como no âmbito pedagógico, através de experiências realizadas com cinco alunos. Este trabalho pretende então criar uma proposta interpretativa historicamente informada de obras do período barroco na flauta de sistema Boehm, fazendo o paralelo e o contraste com as práticas performativas anteriores, de tradição romântica ou moderna.The present work deals with the subject of the interpretation of baroque music on the Boehm system flute. Effectively the theme of baroque music interpretation on modern instruments has already occupied over previous decades a very important position vis a vis the musicians, instrumentalists, musicologists and researchers, triggering divisions between them. These divisions, just as in the polemics that the Early Music Movement has come to generate are nowadays less prevalent, bringing about a growing interest for historically informed performances. Along with the results of a comparative analysis of recordings of interpretations from 1960 to the present, articulated with the realization of interviews and from the author's personal experience, it is proposed to show a systematization of a nucleus of unavoidable expressive resources of the baroque style with the intention of their use in the creation of an interpretation by the author, also in the pedagogic field by way of experiences realized with five pupils. This work intends to create therefore, a historically informed interpretive proposal for two works from the baroque period on the Boehm system flute (C Major BWV 1033 and E minor BWV 1034 Sonatas by J. S. Bach), in parallel and in contrast with the preceding performance practices of the romantic and modern tradition

    Comparison of Two Active Hydrocarbon Production Regions in Texas to Determine Boomtown Growth and Development: A Geospatial Analysis of Active Well Locations and Demographic Changes, 2000-2017

    The purpose of this research was to compare two shale play regions of Texas to assess the extent to which differences existed in geospatial patterns of highly active petroleum and natural gas mining sites in relationship to demographic changes from the years 2000-2017. Two questions guided this research: 1) To what extent might differences occur between the Eagle Ford Shale region and the Permian Basin region in relation to well locations of hydrocarbon drilling and population and spatial demographics and 2) After examining the differences between the two regions, is it possible to establish the more recent areas in Permian Basin region as trending toward ‘boomtown’ growth and development? Thus, the overarching aim of this research was to understand the significance of changes between, and within the two regions, in terms of geospatial patterns of active well locations and selected “boomtown” demographics. The unconventional hydrocarbon activity (i.e., hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking”) that began to flourish in the mid-2000s in the Eagle Ford Shale Play region was compared to the Texas portion of the Permian Basin region, as the former region represents a longer established area of production of natural gas, while the second represents relatively recent growth in well locations and production of natural gas from hydraulic fracturing. By comparing these two regions on rates of well locations and population, it was hypothesized that the “newer,” more recently fracked, more rural Permian Basin region would demonstrate similar signs of “boomtown” growth as was the case with the more the established Eagle Ford Shale region in earlier years. This research concluded that the geospatial patterns in well locations and demographic changes did reveal signs of marked increase in the Permian Basin as compared to Eagle Ford, indicating that the Permian Basin region is likely to experience, or may be in the throes of experiencing, the same or similar rate of “boomtown”growth as Eagle Ford Shale. The analysis was performed in two parts. Part 1 called for statistical analysis to establish whether there were statistically significant differences between the Eagle Ford Shale region and the Permian Basin region. The statistical analysis also considered whether the Permian Basin region was statistically greater than the Eagle Ford Shale region on demographic variables related to boomtown growth and development. Part 1 also presented descriptive data which supported the findings of the statistical testing. Part 2 was comprised of in-depth geospatial mapping and spatial statistic testing of the demographic variables within each region. Geospatial analyses consisted of Active Well Analysis, Cluster Analysis of Active Wells, Nearest Neighbor Analysis of Active Wells, Kernel Density of Active Wells Analysis, Active Wells Point Density Hotspot Analysis (Getis-Ord Hotspot and Coldspot Analysis), Active Well Area Hotspot Analysis, Population Density Analysis, Population Density Hotspot Analysis, Median Household Income Map Analysis, Unemployment Map Analysis, Gender- Male Map Analysis, Ethnicity-Hispanic Map Analysis, and Age Percentages Figure Analysis. Part 2 supported and enhanced the results of Part 1 for understanding the differences between the regions, as well as, how the Permian Basin region might compare to the more established Eagle Ford Shale region in terms of boomtown growth and development. The data for map generation was acquired from UpstreamDB for well locations, the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Fact Finder for selected demographic data, and Simply Analytics (which withdraws data from the U.S. Census Bureau) for demographics data. Mapped well data was layered with U.S. Census data separated by year, and well location data isolated by year over time. Statistical testing as well as geospatial mapping indicated the degree of changes between, and within each region in patterns in overall population growth and density over time as compared to active hydrocarbon production in the two regions. Specifically, demographic data in maps depicted changes in ethnicity, median income, gender, age and unemployment in the two regions during the selected years and gave an indication as to whether “boomtown characteristics” were being experienced in the Permian Basin region. Identifying whether or not the Permian region may be undergoing boomtown growth as has happened in Eagle Ford Shale, will inform stakeholders in the Permian region that relatively fast and intense growth in population is highly likely. Anticipating this growth in population, and therefore, the concomitant greater need in transportation, law enforcement, housing, utilities, and other social services will be of value to leaders and planners in the public sector as well as businesses in the private sector. Thus, all stakeholders in the Permian region will be better able to prepare for future impacts from active hydrocarbon drilling and boomtown generation.Geography and Environmental Studie

    Epitomare nella scuola di retorica: Giulio Paride e Ianuario Nepoziano

    No full text
    Il contributo si concentra sulle epitomi ai Facta et dicta memorabilia di Valerio Massimo, un autore di età tiberiana che fu lui stesso un selezionatore ed epitomatore di opere precedenti. Le due epitomi conservate risalgono all’età tardoantica: quella di Giulio Paride è giunta a noi completa, mentre quella di Ianuario Nepoziano arriva fino all’inizio del terzo libro di Valerio Massimo (3, 2, 7). In questo studio analizzo i proemi delle due epitomi per far emergere i principi metodologici che guidarono gli autori. Successivamente presento un caso di studio con l’analisi delle strategie testuali che portarono dal testo di partenza (un passo di Tito Livio) alle riscritture, prima di Valerio Massimo, poi di Giulio Paride e Nepoziano. Infine, per entrare ancora meglio nel laboratorio dell’epitomatore, propongo alcune osservazioni sugli aneddoti aggiunti da Nepoziano alla raccolta di Valerio Massimo.The contribution focuses on the epitomes to the Facta et dicta memorabilia of Valerius Maximus, an author of Tiberian age who was himself a selector and epitomator of previous literary works. The two epitomes date back to the Late Antiquity: the epitome of Iulius Paris is complete, whereas the epitome of Ianuarius Nepotianus is interrupted at the beginning of Valerius Maximus’ third book (3, 2, 7). The paper analyses the dedicatory letters of the two epitomes to bring out the methodological principles that guided the authors. Then, a case study is presented to explain the textual strategies that led from the source text (a passage by Livy) to its rewrites, first in Valerius Maximus, then in Iulius Paris and Nepotianus. Finally, to get even better into the epitomator’s workshop, some observations are made on the anecdotes that Nepotianus added to the works of Valerius Maximus

    Category-sensitivity in the N170 range: a question of topography and inversion, not one of amplitude

    No full text
    Event-related potential studies have identified the N170 as the key neurophysiological marker of human face processing. This functional association relies on the observation of a larger N170 amplitude to faces than items from all other visual object categories. However, N170 amplitude is modulated by stimulus variations like viewpoint, size and symmetry, and studies comparing similarly sized and symmetric full-front faces and other objects have failed to find amplitude differences. Here we tested whether the effect of inversion - an increase in N170 amplitude seen for faces presented upside down - is similarly observed for full-front views of cars. Participants discriminated pictures of faces and cars, which were presented upright and inverted, and either in full-front view or varying in size, orientation and viewpoint. For upright stimuli, the N170 was stronger for faces than cars at some electrode sites, but of comparable amplitude at others, as shown by topographical differences. The N170 for inverted faces and cars was delayed, with a stronger delay for faces than cars. Inversion increased N170 amplitude for faces, while modulations for full-front view cars were non-significant or N170 amplitude was reduced. These results further limit the widely acknowledged principle of an association between N170 and visual object categorization. Potential face-sensitivity in the N170 range may therefore rely on topographic differences and effects of inversion, rather than amplitude differences

    A Velocity Prediction Procedure for Sailing Yachts with a hydrodynamic Model based on integrated fully coupled RANSE-Free-Surface Simulations

    No full text
    One of the most important tools in today's sailing yacht design is the Velocity Prediction Program (VPP). VPPs calculate boat speed from the equilibrium of aero- and hydrodynamic flow forces. Consequently their accuracy is linked to the accuracy of the aero- and hydrodynamic data used to represent a yacht. These data are usually derived from Experimental Fluid Dynamics (EFD) or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results and processed by means of linearisation and interpolation to represent the actual sailing state of the yacht. This interpolation is a potential source of inaccuracy. Furthermore, viscosity related effects are often estimated by simplified theoretical or empirical models potentially neglecting complex physical phenomena. As an alternative, a new method is proposed and implemented, which links the hydrodynamic model directly to a RANSE flow simulation in order to avoid linearisation and interpolation errors associated with traditional VPPs. Within this method, aerodynamic sail forces are taken into account as functions of actual boat state. They are modeled using a sail force model and coupled to the hydrodynamic model via a rigid body motion solver. This way one is able to directly evaluate the hydrodynamic forces at the actual boat state of the yacht for a given wind condition. Within this work, the inherent theory and algorithms of the method are described, and the hydrodynamic model is verified and validated against experimental data from towing tank test. Based on this verification and validation of the simulation model, the functionality of the new method is illustrated by calculating VPP polars. Finally, these VPP polars are compared with results from conventional VPPs and an assessment of the method's accuracy is provided.Ship Hydrodynamics and StructuresMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
