Essays on traditional ceramics & contemporary sculpture
Abstract
The object of the present research in the field of arts is about interpretation and re-integration of the traditional ceramics in the art of contemporary ceramic sculpture. Its subject and starting point is the tableware ceramics of Bulgaria, known as the Troyan ceramics. Through a combination of practical and theoretical work, the study aims to demonstrate that the ornamental techniques of the Troyan ceramics as device, are an ideal means for creating sculpture with an original, distinct, and universal sound, capable to add new aesthetic expression in the range of the current practice of ceramics. By preserving and expanding the original troyan characteristics it explores the interaction between the traditional ceramic and re-shape its system in the context of contemporary sculpture.
The essence of this approach lies in the re-examination of the controlled - slip technology characteristic to the Troyan ceramic style and the possibility to be applied for the purpose of fine arts. The interest and fascination of this method is provoked by two main features of this particular style. The first is the ingenuity of the technological method own to the Troyan ceramics. The second is the authentic ornamental system of the Troyan ceramics which have evolved in the course of the long practice of utility and refinement.
In result of this inquiry, the artistic research pursues to reshape the Troyan ceramics in the context of contemporary ceramic sculpture. Its purpose is to enable the continuity of preservation of the established tradition and through interchange with the art of sculpture to evoke new interpretation, both: within the Troyan ceramic crafts and in the domain of contemporary ceramics. The synthesis of this endeavor is yet another fulfillment or reconciliation of the traditional with contemporary ceramics. It therefore serves as a source of inspiration and provides most favorable conditions for interaction and innovation of traditional ceramics on the one hand, and contemporary ceramic sculpture on the other.MAD-Research PXL-MAD School of Arts, Hassel

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
Exploration du sillage eolien par velocimetrie laser PIV
No full textConsulta en la Biblioteca ETSI Industriales (8806)[ES] L¿énergie éolienne est probablement la plus ancienne énergie utilisée par l¿homme en
dehors de son énergie musculaire. Ce fut, sans doute, d¿abord une énergie captée par la
voile pour la navigation, voilà quelques millénaires. Par la suite, sans date précise, quelque inventeur de génie, sédentaire, pense faire tourner indéfiniment la voile autour d¿un axe fixe : le moulin était né. Les plus anciens connus, chinois ou perses, sont en effet constitués par des mâts verticaux entraînés par des voiles. C¿est seulement plus tard que l¿axe devient sensiblement horizontal, avec des ailes, pour prendre la disposition bien connue des moulins à vent. Le vent est un sous-produit de l¿énergie primaire provenant du soleil. La terre et son atmosphère constituent une vaste machine thermique dont la source chaude,
constamment variable, est l¿hémisphère irradié par le soleil, et la source froide, également variable, l¿hémisphère obscur. Le fluide de travail, l¿air, passe chaque jour de l¿un à l¿autre. Ce cycle produit une énergie mécanique qui est l¿énergie cinétique de l¿air ou vent.Micó Torró, A. (2011).
