From Stage to Cinema Screen: The Vanishing of a Lady
No full textArtykuł jest poświęcony szczegółowej anatomii bazowego triku Georges’a Mélièsa zaprezentowanego najpierw w Teatrze Robert-Houdin jako numer variétés, a potem – w postaci stechnicyzowanej wskutek zastosowania triku substytucji – przeniesionego do filmu Escamotage d’une dame chez Robert-Houdin (1896). Autor śledzi napięcia między iluzją sceny a trikiem substytucji w filmie, wskazując na intermedialny charakter efektu, który połączył iluzję sceniczną z kinem, a z Mélièsa uczynił autora teatru i kina. Paech wskazuje ponadto na jego żywotność w kinie współczesnym, analizując różne strategie adaptacji triku substytucji w filmach: Prestiż (2006) Christophera Nolana, Starsza pani znika (1938) Alfreda Hitchcocka, Scoop – gorący temat (2006) i Magia w blasku księżyca (2014) Woody’ego Allena oraz Nowojorskie opowieści (1989) Martina Scorsesego, Francisa Forda Coppoli i Woody’ego Allena.The article is devoted to the detailed anatomy of Georges Melies’s basic trick, first presented at the Robert-Houdin Theater as varietes, and later, in the form of a substitute technique, transferred to Escamotage d’une dame chez Robert-Houdin (1896). The author follows the tension between the illusion of the stage and the tricks of substitution in film, pointing to the intermedia nature of the effect that combined the stage illusion with the cinema, which turned Melies into the author of both theater and the cinema. Paech also points to its vitality in contemporary cinema, analyzing various strategies for adaptation of substitution tricks in films such as Prestige (2006) by Christopher Nolan, The Lady Vanishes (1938) by Alfred Hitchcock, Scoop - Hot Topic (2006) and Magic in the Moonlight (2014) by Woody Allen and The New York Stories (1989) by Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and Woody Allen

Optimal-constraint lexicons for requirements specifications
No full textConstrained Natural Languages (CNLs) are becoming an increasingly popular way of writing technical documents such as requirements specifications. This is because CNLs aim to reduce the ambiguity inherent within natural languages, whilst maintaining their readability and expressiveness. The design of existing CNLs appears to be unfocused towards achieving specific quality outcomes, in that the majority of lexical selections have been based upon lexicographer preferences rather than an optimum trade-off between quality factors such as ambiguity, readability, expressiveness, and lexical magnitude. In this paper we introduce the concept of 'replaceability' as a way of identifying the lexical redundancy inherent within a sample of requirements. Our novel and practical approach uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to enable us to make dynamic trade-offs between quality factors to optimise the resultant CNL. We also challenge the concept of a CNL being a one-dimensional static language, and demonstrate that our optimal-constraint process results in a CNL that can adapt to a changing domain while maintaining its expressiveness. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007

No full textThe influence of circadian time and sleep dose on subjective fatigue ratings
No full textSubjective ratings of fatigue are increasingly being used as part of a suite of tools to assess fatigue-related risk on the road and in the workplace. There is some debate however, as to whether individuals can accurately gauge their own fatigue states, particularly under conditions of sleep restriction. It is also unclear which references are used by individuals to assess fatigue – for example prior sleep, time of day, workload, or previous ratings. The current study used a sophisticated laboratory protocol to examine the independent contributions of sleep, circadian phase and sleep debt to fatigue ratings. Importantly, participants had no knowledge of time of day, how much sleep they were getting, or how long they were awake. Twenty-eight healthy, young males participated in one of two conditions of a 28 h forced desynchrony protocol – severe sleep restriction (4.7 h sleep and 23.3 h wake) or moderate sleep restriction (7 h sleep and 21 h wake). Fatigue ratings were provided prior to and following each sleep period using the Samn–Perelli fatigue scale. Repeated measures ANOVAs were used to analyse the effects of circadian phase, sleep dose and study day. Results demonstrated an effect of circadian phase on both pre-sleep and post-sleep fatigue ratings. The significant effect of study day is interpreted as an effect of circadian time, as opposed to accumulating sleep debt. An effect of sleep dose was only seen in post-sleep fatigue ratings. The findings suggest that post-sleep fatigue ratings may be sensitive to prior sleep and may be useful as an indicator of fatigue-related risk, particularly when triangulated with information about recent total sleep time.Sally A.
