On the Relationship Between Modular and Hypergeometric Functions
No full textWe study the relationship between two Hecke theta series, the Dedekind function, and the Gauss hypergeometric function. The main result of the present paper is given by formulas for the representation of the theta series in the form of compositions of the squared Dedekind function, a power of the absolute invariant, and canonical integrals of the second-order hypergeometric differential equation with special values of the three parameters. The proofs of these representations are based on the properties of the matrix transforming the canonical integrals of the Gauss equation in a neighborhood of zero into canonical integrals of the same equation in a neighborhood of unity
The cinematographic scenography of Sigfrido Burmann in the archive of Filmoteca Española
No full textEl escenógrafo alemán Sigfrido Burmann introdujo y sistematizó la profesión de director artístico en el cine español, inexistente desde los inicios del cine en nuestro país. Aplicó métodos innovadores en los decorados que elaboró durante sus treinta y cinco años de trayectoria profesional en la escenografía cinematográfica en España. Los primeros veinte años (1940-1960) coincidieron con el período de mayor esplendor de la industria del cine español, gracias a la productora y distribuidora valenciana CIFESA, con la que colaboró en la mayoría de los filmes como decorador jefe. Su colección de dibujos y bocetos, que trazó como parte de su trabajo escenográfico, se conserva en el departamento de Colección - Museo del Cine de la Filmoteca Española. A través de estos dibujos hemos podido analizar la escenografía que realizó en sus películas y la traducción del trazado plano del dibujo al espacio fílmico tridimensional. Se trata de un legado extraordinario parte del patrimonio cinematográfico no fílmico, que resulta esencial para estudiar la dirección artística de nuestro país.The German scenographer Sigfrido Burmann introduced and systematized the profession of artistic director in the Spanish cinema, inexistent from the beginnings of the cinema in our country. He applied innovative methods to the sets that he created during his thirty-five year career in film scenery in Spain. The first twenty years (1940-1960) coincided with the period of greatest splendour in the Spanish film industry, thanks to the Valencian production and distribution company CIFESA, with which he collaborated on most of the films as head set designer. His collection of drawings and sketches, which he drew up as part of his scenographic work, is kept in the Collection - Film Museum department of the Filmoteca Española. Through these drawings, we have been able to analyze
the scenography he created in his films and the translation of the drawing’s flat layout into three-dimensional film space. This is an extraordinary legacy of the non-filmic film heritage, which is essential for studying the artistic direction of our country.Depto. de Teorías y Análisis de la ComunicaciónFac. de Ciencias de la InformaciónTRUEpu

The European Asteroid Impact Mission: Phase a Design and Mission Analysis
No full textAIM is part of a joint collaboration with NASA in the AIDA (Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment) mission. The primary goal of AIDA is to assess the feasibility of deflecting the heliocentric path of a Near Earth Asteroid (NEA) binary system, by impacting on the surface of the smaller secondary asteroid of the couple. The work here presented is part of the phase A study, currently performed by OHB System AG, Politecnico di Milano and Spin. Works under the European Space Agency study for phase A/B1. The paper focuses on the mission analysis of AIM spacecraft during the main phases of the mission: interplanetary transfer, rendezvous with the asteroid and close proximity operations

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Close-Proximity Operations Concept of the Asteroid Impact Mission
No full textThe Asteroid Impact Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission is an international collaboration of ESA and NASA, with the primary goals to test the ability to perform a spacecraft impact on a near-Earth asteroid and to measure and characterize the deflection caused by the impact. The ESA led Asteroid Impact Mission (AIM) is to be designed on a low-cost approach and to be launched in 2020. Its primary objective is to characterize the asteroid 65803 Didymos (1996 GT) and then to assess the consequences of an impact from a NASA provided spacecraft named DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) on the secondary asteroid in the binary asteroid system. Prior to the arrival of DART, AIM is planned to rendezvous with the asteroid system in mid-2022. On arrival, AIM would conduct observations that can be used to complement and prepare for the DART impact and perform technology demonstration. In addition, it is planned to release a number of CubeSat opportunity-payload and place the MASCOT-2 lander on the surface of the secondary asteroid. Further, a demonstration of deep space optical communications is planned. AIM is currently studied in the scope of a Phase B1 under ESA contract by two consortia, one of those being led by OHB System. This paper presents OHB's current mission and asteroid operations strategy, addressing mission design and operational challenges. The tight schedule (launch in 2020) and the low cost approach for spacecraft design and operations are challenging, especially in context of the high complexity and performance requirements connected to deep space mission operations and navigation. Special focus is therefore placed on asteroid local operations, the planned payload operations, the deployment of MASCOT-2 to the surface of the secondary asteroid in the binary system, the navigation strategy of AIM, and how OHB plans to overcome the challenges posed by this unique mission scenario
The Asteroid Impact Mission: Consolidated Mission Analysis and Scientific Payload Operations at Binary Asteroid Didymos
No full textThe Asteroid Impact Mission is an ESA mission, part of a joint collaboration with NASA in the AIDA (Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment) mission. The primary goal of AIDA is to assess the feasibility of deflecting the heliocentric path of a Near Earth Asteroid binary system, by impacting on the surface of the smaller asteroid of the couple. To this purpose, AIDA includes a kinetic impactor, DART by NASA and an observer, AIM by ESA. The consolidated mission analysis of AIM spacecraft is presented with a breakdown into the main mission phases. AIM is planned to be launched in late 2020 and to arrive at Didymos system in middle 2022. Suitable transfer solutions and launch window are presented; the approaching strategy to rendezvous with the binary system is discussed and close proximity operations at the asteroid are finally described. The results and analyses presented in the paper are currently performed by OHB System AG, Politecnico di Milano and Spin.Works under the European Space Agency study for phase A/B1 design of the AIM spacecraft. The project is currently ongoing and the mission analysis will be further iterated and refined through the design phase
