Na sombra de Herculano: Miguel Ângelo Pereira e os desafios de compor ópera no Portugal dos anos 1860-70
Get PDFIn February 1870 an opera based on the novel Eurico by Alexandre Herculano was premiered at the Teatro S. Carlos in Lisbon. The composer, Miguel Ângelo Pereira (1843-1901), was a young pianist and composer, born in the North of Portugal, who had spent part of his childhood and adolescence in Brazil. Even though it was not well received by the public and the critics, the opera was revived in 1874 in Oporto and in 1878 in Rio de Janeiro. From the start Eurico was portrayed as a different work from the current repertory, and was sometimes associated with the world of German instrumental music. Based on the few surviving sources and the contemporary press, this article attempts to show how Eurico fits in to the projects seeking to create a Portuguese national opera that were undertaken by a group of emigrants in Rio de Janeiro; how, in dramaturgical and musical terms, it is also close to the aesthetics of grand opéra; and how the psychological profile of the Miguel Ângelo – who thought of himself and is also described by his contemporaries, as a hero in search of an ideal –, allied to the emergence of a new musical canon, based on the works of the German composers, led to it being considered, after the death of its author in 1901, as the first attempt by a Portuguese composer to approach Wagnerian models.En febrero de 1870 se estrenó en el Teatro de S. Carlos de Lisboa una ópera cuyo libreto había sido extraído de Eurico, de Alexandre Herculano. El autor de la música, Miguel Ângelo Pereira (1843-1901), era un joven pianista y compositor oriundo del norte de Portugal que había pasado parte de su infancia y adolescencia en Brasil. A pesar de que fue mal recibida por el público y por la crítica, la ópera fue repuesta en 1874, en Oporto, y en 1878, en Río de Janeiro. Desde el principio Eurico fue retratada como una obra diferente al repertorio corriente, asociada a veces con el universo de la música instrumental germánica. A través de las pocas fuentes que han sobrevivido y de la prensa contemporánea, este artículo procura mostrar cómo ella se encuadra en los proyectos de creación de una ópera nacional portuguesa, por parte de un grupo de emigrantes en Río de Janeiro; cómo, en términos dramatúrgicos y musicales, se aproxima a la estética de la grand opéra; y cómo el perfil psicológico de Miguel Ângelo –que se imaginaba y es descrito por sus contemporáneos, como un héroe en busca de un ideal– aliado con la emergencia de un novo canon musical, fundado sobre las obras de compositores alemanes, condujo a que, ya después de la muerte de su autor, en 1901, ella fuese consagrada como la primera tentativa de que un compositor portugués se aproximase a los modelos wagnerianos

AIS data analysis for the impacts of wind and current on ship behavior in straight waterways
No full textDue to the increasing ship traffic flow in ports, maritime traffic safety has attracted much atten-tion. In addition to traffic flow, the ship safety in restricted waters is influenced by external navigational fac-tors (visibility, wind and current), encounter situations and human factors on board. In this paper, we investi-gate the effect of navigational factors on ship behavior. The raw AIS data and locally measured visibility, wind, and current data in the port of Rotterdam are collected to investigate the impacts of wind and current on ship speed and path (distance to the starboard bank). The results reveal that the wind mainly affects the paths of ships by the force of cross-wind, while the current impacts the speed over ground of ships when the current is with or against the heading of ship. The impacts on different sizes of ships are different as well. The port side wind has a larger impact on small ships than on large ships, while the impact of starboard side wind is larger for large ships than for small ships. The impact of current on the speed over ground is larger on small ships than large ships, and least on medium ships. The analysis results could assist the port authority in pre-dicting ship traffic in different situations, and be used in the development of a new maritime traffic model to simulate ship behavior while considering the external navigational factors.Rivers, Ports, Waterways and Dredging EngineeringTransport and PlanningTransport and Plannin
Moving in Between Resistances: An Axis-Thought on Choreographic Creation in an Educational Context
Get PDFThis text proposes to think about the process of choreographic creation in an educational context creating a dialogue between artistic and philosophical creation, reflecting, in this way, how creation asserts itself as a practice of artistic education. It establishes a plan of discussion starting from the philosophical creation of concepts, with Deleuze, to choreographic creation. This approach underlines the resistance as a common action that is expressed differently in the two domains. Resistance as a tool that allows to reflect on the creative act in its theoretical and empirical aspects and to establish a bridge with the educational context. Baldacchino is called as an author who allows to examine the mechanism of resistance that is established in the articulation between artistic education and the School. Finally, the text projects to a practical plan of the choreographic creation process, underlining the importance of collaboration and devising among the agents of creation
NanoBase: a tiny relation database manager for the JME CLDC/MIDP Platform
No full textIncreasing advances in mobile computing made possible the development of new and sophisticated
applications, which can store data in the mobile devices. The JME platform has emerged as a standard
for developing applications for mobile devices, the so-called embedded applications. The RMS API
is responsible for ensuring data persistence in the JME platform. In other words, this API provides
support for manipulating records stored in files. However, the RMS API “views” files as a set of
arrays of bytes. Such a feature makes the process of accessing data in JME platform a very complex
and inefficient. Moreover, since no index structure is supported in JMS platform, the access to subset
of records in a file tends to be quite inefficient. This work presents NanoBase, a mechanism which
provides relational database features for the JME/CLDC platform. A key feature of Nanobase is the
ability of processing SQL queries. Moreover, NanoBase can build and manipulate different index
structures, such as B+ trees and hash indexes, for efficiently accessing data in JME platform. In
order to show the benefits of using NanoBase, we have run extensive performance tests and made
comparative analysis with other solutions.Os recentes avanços obtidos na tecnologia de computação móvel possibilitam o desenvolvimento de
novas e sofisticadas aplicações, as quais podem agora armazenar dados no próprio dispositivo móvel.
A plataforma JME vem se consolidando como um padrão para o desenvolvimento de aplicações em
dispositivos móveis, também denominadas de aplicações embarcadas. Nesta plataforma, a API RMS
é responsável pela persistência dos dados. Esta API possibilita a recuperação, inserção, alteração e
exclusão de registros em arquivos representados por vetores (arrays) de bytes. Tal característica torna
a programação bastante complexa e de baixa produtividade, principalmente no tocante à persistência
de dados. Além disso, como nenhuma estrutura de índice é disponibilizada, o acesso seletivo aos
registros é bastante demorado, podendo até mesmo inviabilizar o desenvolvimento de determinadas
aplicações. Este trabalho apresenta o NanoBase, um mecanismo que fornece funcionalidades de um
SGBD relacional para a plataforma JME. O mecanismo proposto fornece aos programadores uma
visão relacional dos dados. Outras propriedade importantes do NanoBase são o suporte para execução
de consultas, expressas através da linguagem SQL, e a criação de diversas estruturas de índices,
como árvores B+ e índices hash. A fim de comprovar os benefícios da utilização do NanoBase, foram
realizados diversos testes de desempenho e uma análise comparativa com outras soluções

Expanding Borges : a intertextualidade digital na narrativa de Jorge Luis Borges
No full textThe purpose of this research is to address the potential of intertextuality in the literary work of Jorge Luis Borges. The study aims to explore the linguistic, semantic and communicational possibilities of the borgean text, through the development and implementation of a digital hypertextual platform — Expanding Borges —. In the expectation that the reader will acquire an interactive experience different from the conventional reading of the book, it is proposed to return a new way of perceiving the texts of the Argentine writer, proposing another textuality and narrative, implementing for that an algorithmic process. With this intention, it is sought to conform the conceptual body from which, to direct and to concretize the practical component. The aim is to identify and understand the terms and concepts associated to both the written and cosmovision work of the Argentine author and those inherent to the development and theoretical concerns specific to the discipline, thus forming a conceptual framework that supports the creation project. Subsequently, and in order to understand the procedures, proper to the processes of creation and computational implementation based on textual information, a set of works that can inform about the relationships between the constituent dimensions of each work are analyzed. Finally, the project Expanding Borges is developed: digital intertextuality in the narrative of Jorge Luis Borges. Based on the stories “El jardín de los senderos que se bifurcan” (1941), “La biblioteca de Babel” (1941) and “El libro de arena” (1975), a digital platform is projected to expand prose concentrated of the Argentine writer. The experience is set in the interconnection of textual fragments of the original work of the author, as well as of authors who gravitate and are revealed from the borgean texts. “Ni el libro ni la arena tienen ni princípio ni fin” (Borges, 2016: 12), the idea referred to in the short story “El libro de arena”, stands as a conceptual mote of the project, chaos and labyrinth give logic and materiality to the hypertextual experienc
