    Equilibrium transition study for a hybrid MAV

    No full text
    Wind tunnel testing was performed on a VTOL aircraft in order to characterize longitudinal flight behavior during an equilibrium transition between vertical and horizontal flight modes. Trim values for airspeed, pitch, motor speed and elevator position were determined. Data was collected by independently varying the trim parameters, and stability and control derivatives were identified as functions of the trim pitch angle. A linear fractional representation model was then proposed, along with several methods to improve longitudinal control of the aircraft

    UKMARC AMC: Draft Rev 4.0: UK MARC format for archives and manuscripts control (UK MARC AMC)

    No full text
    This draft is the first attempt to establish a UK MARC specifically for Archives and Manuscripts Control since the British Library indicated that it would countenance such extensions to the national UK MARC format. In order to keep consistency with the general UK MARC format, standard UK MARC subject fields are not included in this document, since they should be taken from the latest version of the UK MARC manual. {A note of them should perhaps be included in UK MARC AMC.} {NB Text in braces is intended to be explanatory material for readers of this draft}. Certain other fields have not been included that might occasionally be used in the cataloguing of archival materials but would generally only be used for such materials in organizations which were combining archive databases with library databases. This MARC version is intended for use with descriptions of archive or anuscript material that follow, or fit, the traditional style of cataloguing: we assume that these will normally relate to paper or parchment originals. It is not intended for use with descriptions of other kinds of material. For these, fields may be drawn from the appropriate UK MARC document. MARC versions for use with archives in special formats should be developed, in order to complete the full range of facilities available to archivists and curators

    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “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

    Le mensonge d'Ernest Cigare : Problèmes épistémologiques et méthodologiques à propos de l'identité

    No full text
    Jean-Marc Weller Ernest Cigare' s Lie : About Identity at Work This comparison of two methods of gathering data -semidirective interviews and direct observation - reveals contradictions about the sense of identity at work in the interviewed person. Whereas the interviewee's discourse seems relatively coherent, his actual practices are diverse and paradoxical. Given this observation, made while examining a precise case (a Social Security employee), the author discusses the notion of identity that labor sociology has worked out. He concludes that, besides strategic relationships, relations based on know-how are important in the definition and recognition of this identity.Cet article confronte deux méthodes de recueil des données, l'entretien semi-directif et l'observation directe et met en évidence les contradictions qu'elles révèlent sur l'identité au travail de l'interviewé. Alors que le discours tenu par celui-ci témoigne d'une relative cohérence, sa pratique en situation apparaît diverse et paradoxale. Partant de cette constatation qui repose sur l'examen précis du cas d'un agent de sécurité sociale, l'auteur discute la notion d'identité telle qu'elle a été élaborée par la sociologie du travail et conclut, au-delà des relations stratégiques, à l'importance des rapports de savoir dans la définition et la reconnaissance de cette identité.Weller Jean-Marc. Le mensonge d'Ernest Cigare : Problèmes épistémologiques et méthodologiques à propos de l'identité. In: Sociologie du travail, 36ᵉ année n°1, Janvier-mars 1994. pp. 25-42

    La cocarde directoriale : dérives d'un symbole révolutionnaire

    No full text
    Jean-Marc Devocelle : The Directorial Cocarde : the Adventures of a Revolutionary Symbol. This study is mainly based on the debat that took place in the Cinq Cents assembly and in public opinion from Frumaire Year VII to Floreal on the subject of the wearing of the cocarde. The author recalls the various stages of this national emblem from the beginning of the Revolution and then, using the speeches and reports of Year VII, he analyzes exactly what was at stake politically in the different opinions voiced at the time. No longer compulsory, the cocarde for some represented the sign of recognition amongst true republicans — women and foreigners excluded ; for young people, it appaeared to be a sign of integration into the community of civic affairs ; or it stood for equality or, yet again, the military adopted the cocarde at a time when the army's star was rising higner and higher.Jean-Marc Devocelle : La cocarde directoriale, dérives d'un symbole révolutionnaire. Cette étude est principalement fondée sur le débat qui s'est instauré en frimaire an VII aux Cinq Cents, comme dans l'opinion publique pour se poursuivre jusqu'en floréal, sur le problème du port de la cocarde. Elle rappelle les étapes de l'aventure de cet emblème national depuis le début de la Révolution, et, à partir des interventions et rapports de l'an II analyse ce que représente désormais cet enjeu politique, à travers des opinions contradictoires : cocarde, d'obligatoire devenue le signe récognitif des vrais républicains, à l'exclusion des étrangers et des femmes, cocarde signe d'intégration à la vie civique pour les jeunes, cocarde symbole d'égalité... ou cocarde des militaires dont l'influence va croissante.Devocelle Jean-Marc. La cocarde directoriale : dérives d'un symbole révolutionnaire. In: Annales historiques de la Révolution française, n°289, 1992. Images et symboles. pp. 355-366
