Automatic classification of submerged macrophytes at Lake Constance using laser bathymetry point clouds
No full textSubmerged aquatic vegetation, also referred to as submerged macrophytes, provides important habitats and serves as a significant ecological indicator for assessing the condition of water bodies and for gaining insights into the impacts of climate change. In this study, we introduce a novel approach for the classification of submerged vegetation captured with bathymetric LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) as a basis for monitoring their state and change, and we validated the results against established monitoring techniques. Employing full-waveform airborne laser scanning, which is routinely used for topographic mapping and forestry applications on dry land, we extended its application to the detection of underwater vegetation in Lake Constance. The primary focus of this research lies in the automatic classification of bathymetric 3D LiDAR point clouds using a decision-based approach, distinguishing the three vegetation classes, (i) Low Vegetation, (ii) High Vegetation, and (iii) Vegetation Canopy, based on their height and other properties like local point density. The results reveal detailed 3D representations of submerged vegetation, enabling the identification of vegetation structures and the inference of vegetation types with reference to pre-existing knowledge. While the results within the training areas demonstrate high precision and alignment with the comparison data, the findings in independent test areas exhibit certain deficiencies that are likely addressable through corrective measures in the future

Roy Wagner (1938-2018): el espejo humeante de la antropología
No full textRoy Wagner died in September 2018. This article, written out of affection and admiration, shows the originality of Wagner’s thought and highlights its importance for understanding, not only current anthropology, increasingly influenced by his work, but also the anthropological machine and its great invention, culture. The article examines moments of his life and his tastes, and recounts anecdotes told by him to provide a better understanding of the disciplinary and theoretical links that Wagner estab-lished with authors like Claude Lévi-Strauss, Victor Turner, Gregory Bateson and Carlos Castaneda. The article concludes with an extensive bibliography for those who want to explore further the work of an author who is set to become a defining figure in the anthropology of the near future.Roy Wagner murió en septiembre de 2018. Este artículo, escrito desde el afecto y la admiración, muestra la originalidad del pensamiento de Wagner y destaca la importancia del mismo para entender no solo la antropología actual, cada vez más in-fluenciada por su trabajo, sino también el propio proceder antropológico y su gran invención: la cultura. El artículo se acerca a momentos de su biografía, a sus gustos y relata anécdotas por él contadas para entender mejor los vínculos disciplinares y teóri-cos que Wagner establece con autores como Claude Lévi-Strauss, Victor Turner, Gregory Bateson o Carlos Castaneda. El artículo incluye al final una amplia bibliografía suya para quienes quieran profundizar en la obra de un autor que va a marcar sin duda la antropología de los próximos tiempos
Constitutievergelijkingen van gesmolten polymeren: Het netwerkmodel van Lodge, het eerste model van Wagner, en het tweede model van Wagner
No full textHet is voor de verwerking van polymeervloeistoffen van groot belangde stroming van zo'n vloeistof te kunnen beschrijven. Er worden in deze scriptie drie modellen gepresenteert waarmee dit mogelijk is: het netwerkmodel van Lodge, het eerste model van Wagner, en het tweede model van Wagner. Dit zij alledrie semi-empirische modellen die een constitutievergelijking in integraalvorm geven. Deze constitutievergelijkingen bevatten een of meer experimenteel te bepalen functies. Deze constitutievergelijkingen worden toegepast op diverse elongatie- en afschuifstromingen, en de met de vergelijkingen berekende grootheden worden voor diverse polymeersmelten vergeleken met meetwaarden voor die stromingen en smelten. Op grand hiervan wordt gekeken hoe goed de drie modellen de stroming van een polymeersmelt beschrijven, en wat de voor- en de nadelen van deze modellen zijn. Geconcludeerd wordt dat het tweede model van Wagner het beste de verschillende stromende polymeersmelten beschrijft.Applied SciencesScheikundige Technologie en der MateriaalkundeTechnologie der Macromoleculaire Stoffe
Deer mandible tools: an examination of Oneota modified mandibles from La Crosse County, Wisconsin
No full textThis study focuses on the modified deer mandibles that have been recovered at late prehistoric Oneota sites over the last few decades by the M.V.A.C. in La Crosse County, Wisconsin. The purpose of this study is to clarify through experimentation the function of Oneota tools made from deer mandibles.
Of the numerous deer mandibles and deer mandible fragments that have been recovered from Oneota context in the La Crosse locality there are a set of five deer mandibles, which show signs of heavy wear along the fracture of the bone marrow cavity where they were broken, presumably to obtain the marrow. These artifacts were found at the Pammel Creek site (47Lc61), the Valley View site (47Lc34), and the Gundersen Lutheran site (47Lc394), and the Sand Lake site (47Lc44). Experimental use demonstrated that the Oneota mandibles were identified as hide scrapers, which were used to soften leather for hide working
Hermann Wagner und die Illustrierte deutsche Flora
No full textZwei Autoren botanischer Werke tragen den Namen Hermann Wagner. Sie sind beide 1824 geboren, der eine in Hadamar (Herzogtum Nassau, heute Hessen), der andere in Weißenfels (Preußen, Provinz Sachsen, heute Sachsen-Anhalt). Es war lange fraglich, welcher der beiden die Illustrierte deutsche Flora (1. Auflage 1869–1871) verfasst hat. Es ließ sich nachweisen, dass der Autor dieser Flora Hermann Wagner aus Weißenfels ist, der im übrigen vor allem zahlreiche populäre naturhistorische Schriften für die Jugend verfasst hat. In letzter Zeit wurde noch ein dritter als Autor genannt, der Geograph Hermann Wagner (1840–1929). Das ist sicher ein Irrtum.Hermann Wagner and the Illustrated German Flora. There are two authors of botanical publications with the name Hermann Wagner both born in 1824, one in Hadamar (Hesse), the other in Weißenfels (Saxony-Anhalt). For a long time it has been questionable who wrote the Illustrierte deutsche Flora (Illustrated German Flora) with the first edition 1869–1871. Evidence has been found that the author of this work was Hermann Wagner of Weißenfels who was a prolific writer especially of Natural History books for young people. In recent times even a third author, the geographer Hermann Wagner (1840–1929), has been claimed as author for the Flora. This is certainly a mistake
Dom Pedro II e Wagner
No full textRESUMO
Com base na autobiografia de Wagner e na correspondência de Dom Pedro, o autor evoca a grande admiração do Imperador brasileiro em relação ao compositor alemão, tendo inclusive contribuído financeiramente para a construção do teatro de Bayreuth, dedicado exclusivamente à música de Wagner, e assistido à sua inauguração em companhia do Imperador da Alemanha. Descreve como Dom Pedro contribuiu indiretamente para a escolha do tema da ópera Tristão e Isolda e levou o compositor a começar a escrever essa obra, cuja estréia foi planejada para o Rio de Janeiro e dedicada ao Imperador brasileiro. Comenta os motivos que levaram Wagner a tal empreendimento e analisa os equívocos decorrentes das más condições de comunicação da época, bem como os fatores que impediram a visita de Wagner ao Brasil.
ABSTRACT
Dom Pedro II and Wagner. v. 19, n. 2, p. 215-232, jul./dez. 1991
Based on the autobiography of Wagner and the correspondence of Dom Pedro, the author evokes the great admiration that the Brazilian Emperor had for the German composer, including his having contributed financially to the construction of the Bayreuth which is dedicated exclusively to Wagner´s music, and having attended its inauguration in the company of the German Emperor. The author describes how Dom Pedro contributed indirectly to the thematic choice of the opera Tristão e Isolda, and led the composer to begin to write this work whose première was planned for Rio de Janeiro and dedicated to the Brazilian Emperor. The author comments on the motives which led Wagner to undertake such a project and analyses the errors caused by the precarious conditions of communication at the time, as well as the factors that impeded Wagner´s visit to Brazil.
