    Positive Pathways (+) – eine künstlerische Auseinandersetzung mit den politischen Bildstrategien der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate im Zuge der „Vision 2021“

    Pressefotos – Memes – Big Data: was haben diese Begriffe mit Kunstgeschichte zu tun? Politische Konflikte und Krisen werden von Bildern dokumentiert, aber auch ausgelöst durch Bilder. Es gibt Bilder der Macht und die Macht der Bilder. Die Geschichte des politischen Bildes ist daher immer auch eine Geschichte der Politik des Bildes. Sie ist analog und digital – vom antiken Herrscherporträt bis zum Politiker-Selfie. Der Band ist eine Einführung in die Ideenwelt von Martin Warnke (1937–2019), dokumentiert deren Entstehung und entwirft eine politische Ikonologie für die digitale Kunst und Bilderwelt des 21. Jahrhunderts. Die Autor:innen Daniel Berndt, Horst Bredekamp, Matthias Bormuth, Michael Diers, Dorothee Haffner, Hauke Horn, Nicolas Werner Jacobs, Klara von Lindern, Roland Meyer, Julia Modes, Johannes von Müller, Nick Nestler, Jörg Probst; Anna Schober, Martin Warnke, Barbara Welzel und Andreas Zeisin

    Happytime Series #24

    No full text
    This booklet presents two irregularities or anomalies. First, it is missing four pages at its center. WL seems just to have ended, and we find ourselves suddenly on the last page of The Wolf Who Became a Shepherd. The second anomaly grows out of the fact that this edition acknowledges that it is a translation by arrangement with Librairie Hachette. The book in question seems to be La Fontaine: Fables from Hachette in 1953. Three of that book's four stories are presented here, including the exact same pictures. The anomaly is that that book proclaims Imagées par Romain Simon, while this has Pictures by Pierre Probst. The texts for what we have here follow La Fontaine's versions. As I say concerning that book, of the simple, lively colored illustrations, two stand out for me. Both illustrate MSA. The former, on the title-page, shows a disgruntled father with a happy child as both sit on the beast. The latter, on the last page, pictures the two flanking the beast and walking arm-in-arm with it. Now all three are happy!Traduit du Latin par E. Panckouck

    Daniel Curio und Ernst Meumann. Zur Entstehung der Akademischen Psychologie in Hamburg

    No full text
    Mit einer Posterausstellung im Fachbereich Psychologie der Universität Hamburg wird informiert über die Entstehung der akademischen Psychologie in Hamburg in den Jahren 1910-1920, wobei insbesondere auf das Wirken von Ernst Meumann und Daniel Curio eingegangen wird. Mit Meumann (1862-1915), der am 01.10.1911 zum Professor für Philosophie und Psychologie im "Allgemeinen Vorlesungswesen" (einer Vorstufe der Hamburger Universität) ernannt worden sei, habe die empirisch-akademische Psychologie in Hamburg begonnen. Die empirische Ausrichtung dieses Lehrstuhls sei in erheblichem Maße auf die in Hamburg bildungspolitisch sehr einflussreiche, reformorientierte Volksschullehrerschaft zurückzuführen, die seit Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts in Lehrervereinen organisiert war. Als der bedeutsamste von diesen kann die von Daniel Curio (1754-1815) gegründete "Gesellschaft der Freunde des vaterländischen Schul- und Erzeihungswesens" gelten. Die Ausstellung macht auf die Beiträge beider Reformer aufmerksam in Form von Bildporträts, Zeittafeln und Publikationslisten. Kurz wird auf den Nachfolger Meumanns, William Stern, eingegangen.peerReviewedpublishedVersio

    Propagation des ondes de sécheresse et d'humidité à travers le monde

    No full text
    Probst et Tardy ont montré une propagation SW-NE des ondes de sécheresse. A l'échelle du siècle, dans les fluctuations du débit de 49 fleuves. Une analyse spectrale systématique et une technique de filtrage des débits confirment ce résultat. Une analyse par spectres croisés fournit les déphasages entre les séries et le sens de propagation de l'onde. Les fluctuations enregistrent trois périodicités

    FUn: A Framework for Interactive Visualizations of Large, High Dimensional Datasets on the Web

    No full text
    Abstract Motivation During the past decade, big data have become a major tool in scientific endeavors. Although statistical methods and algorithms are well-suited for analyzing and summarizing enormous amounts of data, the results do not allow for a visual inspection of the entire data. Current scientific software, including R packages and Python libraries such as ggplot2, matplotlib and plot.ly, do not support interactive visualizations of datasets exceeding 100 000 data points on the web. Other solutions enable the web-based visualization of big data only through data reduction or statistical representations. However, recent hardware developments, especially advancements in graphical processing units, allow for the rendering of millions of data points on a wide range of consumer hardware such as laptops, tablets and mobile phones. Similar to the challenges and opportunities brought to virtually every scientific field by big data, both the visualization of and interaction with copious amounts of data are both demanding and hold great promise. Results Here we present FUn, a framework consisting of a client (Faerun) and server (Underdark) module, facilitating the creation of web-based, interactive 3D visualizations of large datasets, enabling record level visual inspection. We also introduce a reference implementation providing access to SureChEMBL, a database containing patent information on more than 17 million chemical compounds. Availability and implementation The source code and the most recent builds of Faerun and Underdark, Lore.js and the data preprocessing toolchain used in the reference implementation, are available on the project website (http://doc.gdb.tools/fun/). </jats:sec

    SmilesDrawer: Parsing and Drawing SMILES-Encoded Molecular Structures Using Client-Side JavaScript

    No full text
    Here we present SmilesDrawer, a dependency-free JavaScript component capable of both parsing and drawing SMILES-encoded molecular structures client-side, developed to be easily integrated into web projects and to display organic molecules in large numbers and fast succession. SmilesDrawer can draw structurally and stereochemically complex structures such as maitotoxin and C60 without using templates, yet has an exceptionally small computational footprint and low memory usage without the requirement for loading images or any other form of client–server communication, making it easy to integrate even in secure (intranet, firewalled) or offline applications. These features allow the rendering of thousands of molecular structure drawings on a single web page within seconds on a wide range of hardware supporting modern browsers. The source code as well as the most recent build of SmilesDrawer is available on Github (http://doc.gdb.tools/smilesDrawer/). Both yarn and npm packages are also available
