Contemporary Literature. Analysis of Jonathan Bazzi's novels
No full textopenDopo una breve panoramica della letteratura italiana degli ultimi vent’anni si analizzano i due romanzi di Jonathan Bazzi "Febbre" e "Corpi minori" dai punti di vista formale, stilistico e tematico. Si discute inoltre il rapporto tra social media, autofiction e autore; nel capitolo 4 si riporta l'intervista che Bazzi ci ha gentilmente concesso, in cui questi argomenti vengono ripresi.
Si individuano alcune differenze che i testi mostrano rispetto alla letteratura moderna, e gli aspetti che hanno in comune con quella contemporanea; nel fare questo si accennano quindi alcune caratteristiche della società che li ha prodotti.The paper starts off with a brief overview of the contemporary Italian literature; then the reader is guided through an analysis of Jonathan Bazzi's novels, "Febbre" ("Fever") and "Corpi minori" ("Minor bodies"), both translated in English and published by Scribe. The relationship between author, autofiction and social media will also be discussed; in chapter four the reader will find the interview Bazzi kindly granted us
Diseño de un amplificador Doherty con etapa de pre-amplificación para aplicaciones Wimax
No full textviii, 39 páginas : ilustraciones, figurasEste proyecto presenta la metodología de diseño de un amplificador de potencia Doherty (DPA) para aplicaciones en tecnología WiMAX, con frecuencia de trabajo de 3.5 GHz; al cual se adiciona una etapa de pre-amplificación con el objetivo de incrementar los niveles de ganancia dentro de la región Doherty, donde se tiene la mayor eficiencia del amplificador. Para ello se utiliza la estrategia de extracción de parasitas para caracterizar los dispositivos GaN HEMT de Cree Inc., y la validación de los resultados por medio del software de Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS) ®. Donde se obtiene como resultado de las simulaciones una máxima eficiencia de potencia agregada (PAE) de 44%, potencia de salida en saturación de hasta 43dBm y valores de ganancia en la zona Doherty que superan los 20dB, que comparado con el amplificador Doherty en su estructura básica representa un incremento mayor al 110%.Bibliografía: páginas 37-39PregradoIngeniero Electrónic
Administration and Curricula of the Introductory Graduate Music Research Course
No full textThe introductory research course is an integral part of many graduate music programs, yet there have been few studies that discuss its curricula across institutions. A questionnaire was sent to instructors of the course to identify shared pedagogical approaches among North American schools of music. The survey was divided into sections that prompted respondents to identify issues discussed in the course, including the types and titles of resources, research methodologies, and library use topics. With a response rate of over 40 percent, the survey also contains valuable data concerning the professional identifications of instructors, assignments used for grading, common textbooks, perception of the course’s efficacy, and more. Shared features of the course included the importance of electronic resources; the minimal use of Internet-mediated instruction formats; a strong preference for English-language materials; and a focus on resources such as databases, style guides, collected works, monuments of music, and thematic catalogs over and above others such as repertoire guides, discographies, directories, and iconographies.Peer reviewedThis publication first appeared in Notes Volume 71, Number 3, March 2015, pp. 448-478.

Citizen participation in news
No full textThe process of producing news has changed significantly due to the advent of the Web, which has enabled the increasing involvement of citizens in news production. This trend has been given many names, including participatory journalism, produsage, and crowd-sourced journalism, but these terms are ambiguous and have been applied inconsistently, making comparison of news systems difficult. In particular, it is problematic to distinguish the levels of citizen involvement, and therefore the extent to which news production has genuinely been opened up. In this paper we perform an analysis of 32 online news systems, comparing them in terms of how much power they give to citizens at each stage of the news production process. Our analysis reveals a diverse landscape of news systems and shows that they defy simplistic categorisation, but it also provides the means to compare different approaches in a systematic and meaningful way. We combine this with four case studies of individual stories to explore the ways that news stories can move and evolve across this landscape. Our conclusions are that online news systems are complex and interdependent, and that most do not involve citizens to the extent that the terms used to describe them imply
To what extent is Lemuel Gulliver in Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift a reflection of the writer with regard to political and religious views, and attitudes toward women and the concept of family?
No full textThis extended essay is an examination of the extent to which the protagonist Lemuel Gulliver in Gulliver’s Travels is a reflection of Jonathan Swift. It involves the exploration of this research question in terms of politics, religion, attitude to women and family; with references to this piece of literature and some secondary resources when necessary. The quotations from published literary criticism are either refuted by examples from the novel or supported in the light of evidence from the novel. Other secondary resources include Swift’s two other prose works, The Modest Proposal and A Letter to a Very Young Lady on Her Marriage, which are referred to briefly for clarification of the evidence. The purpose of this study is to analyse in what ways and to what extent the protagonist is an author-surrogate in the abovementioned ways.
This essay is comprised of two sections, namely “politics and religion” and “women and family”, each focusing on a particular aspect of the investigation. In the first section, Swift’s political and religious standpoint is discussed extensively in order to correctly evaluate Gulliver’s paradigm. By making connections between the beliefs of the author and those of Gulliver, the relation between the two is established to support the claim of this essay. In the second section, the female figures in the novel and Gulliver’s perception of them are inspected. The plot is also taken into consideration in this part of the inquiry although the central focus is on the persona.
In the conclusion, it is validated that Gulliver is a reflection of Jonathan Swift with regard to political and religious vision, and attitude towards women and family, by juxtaposing and assembling the main elements of personification of Gulliver and Jonathan Swift’s personal ideas and experiences
Doherty amplifier structures for modern microwave communication systems
No full textThe Power Amplifier (PA) is a critical component in any mobile communications system with performance that is very sensitive to RF envelope dynamics. Achieving the required linearity demanded by evolving communications systems invariably involves increasing PA complexity at the cost of reducing PA efficiency the consequences of which are severe and include for example reduced operational time for portable communications devices and perhaps less obviously the significant running, capital and thermal management costs associated with mobile communication system base-stations. The Doherty PA is one of a number of elegant architectures that have been developed to address this problem, and although conceived and patented in the 1930's, has only recently become established as a means of enhancing efficiency in microwave PA applications. The Doherty is renowned for its elegant simplicity however, the realisation of functional Doherty PAs using modern microwave devices is problematical and hindered by many hidden complexities, which are in general brought about by the complex, 'load-pulling' action of two active devices that conspire to cause a variety of performance related problems. Although harmonic behaviour is important, understanding device interaction at a fundamental level has been found to be the critical factor in achieving good overall Doherty performance. With this in mind, this thesis concentrates initially on developing an extensive understanding of fundamental device interaction through the use of a novel Doherty measurement approach which involves replacing the classical Doherty's symmetrical input power division arrangement with independent, phase-coherent excitations. The resulting insight has meant that it has been possible to introduce more focused measurement techniques including harmonic analysis and waveform engineering in order to further explore individual device behaviour. The extensive use of harmonic load-pull measurement systems and the direct synthesis of the impedance environments that exist within the Doherty have allowed a number of device technologies to be considered within the application environment resulting in the realisation of GaAs and GaN Doherty prototypes. As a direct result of this analysis, a number of optimisation approaches have been identified that involve the dynamic adjustment of relative input magnitude, relative input phase and relative device bias, which has in turn exposed the various design trade-offs that exist between linearity and efficiency within the Doherty. Other work includes the development of modulated measurement systems and specialised excitations that allow the meaningful comparison between measured single-tone and modulated performance, as well as allowing more comprehensive investigations into Doherty linearity under varying IF impedance conditions
