The metro and the city: interaction with the urban landscape in the new underground stations in Valencia 1995-2010
No full textThe first stations of the Valencia subway lines were accessible by conventional
metro entrances, stairs leading to an underground corridor or hallway, invisible
from the street and from where you came, directly or through other corridors, to
the platforms. In the new metro lines from the network of FGV Ferrocarriles de
la Generalitat Valenciana (Railways of the Regional Government of Valencia)
built between 1995 and 2010 the architectural design of the stations is addressed
in a different way from design strategies that seek greater interaction with the
public space and the urban environment. To expose these strategies of interaction
with the urban environment, the paper uses as case studies several stations
designed by the author, belonging to lines 3 and 5 of the Valencia Metro
network.Pérez Igualada, J. (2015). The metro and the city: interaction with the urban landscape in the new underground stations in Valencia 1995-2010. WIT Transactions on the Built Environment. 146:363-374. doi:10.2495/UT150291S36337414
A poesia dos Metafísicos : modos da expressão e o efeito de "awareness" : I - wit
No full textIn this first of a series of articles on the same subject, the focus is on Wit. Some critical attitudes towards Wit, either as a textual, function or as a reading effect, are considered to be of particular importance. The author refers to some seventeenth and twentieth century poems, thereby suggesting that a proper use of Wit may, through the ambiguity, complexity or extent of a poetical statement, lead one from the act of reading to a moment of awareness
A study in sixteenth-century performance and artistic networks: British Library, Additional Manuscript 15233
No full textThis thesis is a modern spelling edition of unedited poems and song lyrics from British Library, Additional Manuscript 15233, and a cultural and sociological study of the collection.The manuscript contains music, poetry and fragments of drama attributed to John Redford, Organist, Almoner and Master of the Choristers at St. Paul's Cathedral c.1534–1547, as well as work by at least six other mid Tudor poets. The manuscript has systematically been cited as a ‘St. Paul’s miscellany’(because the main body of work within it is attributed to Redford), and despite its varied content, has been considered almost solely from the perspective of Early Modern drama. This thesis considers the manuscript anew: as a whole, rather than in parts divided along disciplinary lines, as an example of material culture, and separately from the well-researched centres of St. Paul’s and John Redford.Chapters one and two comprise a study of the physical makeup of the manuscript, demonstrating new evidence for its date, and suggesting that it is the product of an artistic network centred on the London parish church of St. Mary-at-Hill.Chapters three and four comprise new studies of the content of the manuscript. Chapter three examines The Play of Wit and Science, with particular attention to its bibliographical status, and its engagement with contemporary artistic debate in performance. It also demonstrates its importance as a source for two later sixteenth-century plays. Chapter four is a case study of a single poem from the manuscript. This demonstrates the overall significance of MS 15233 as a source for verse and song, uncovers a network of printers involved in the transmission of its contents, and calls into question the long-standing theory that the Elizabethan poet George Gascoigne was a contributor to the manuscript.The final chapter of the thesis comprises a modern spelling edition of the poems and song lyrics from MS 15233 with individual commentaries and textual apparatus. This thesis demonstrates that to examine MS 15233 purely in relation to St. Paul’s Cathedral and John Redford, and from any one perspective, is reductive, and that these approaches have caused evidence to be skewed, and scholars to miss more complex possibilities regarding its compilation and provenance
Teshuva as Philosophical View on History: The Problem of Silence
No full textThe volume concludes with Ellen De Doncker’s chapter “Teshuva as Philosophical View on History: The Problem of Silence” in which the author elaborates two stances of Judaism towards history, using the Jewish concept of ‘teshuva’ (return, repentance). The starting point of her research is the aporia of messianism: can one await the Coming, or is there, neces- sitated by the horror of the Shoah, a call for an “active messianism” wit- hin history? This aporia is elaborated under the prism of the Vilna Gaon’s understanding of teshuva as silence. Yet, it seems that silence is untenable after the Shoah, which calls for a loud reaction. To this, two Jewish, phi- losophical perspectives on the history after the Shoah are presented, using the concept of teshuva. Both perspectives, in their own way, call for a loud reply to counter the annihilation of the Shoah. The transhistorical perspective, embodied by Rosenzweig and Chalier, on the one hand, views teshuva as a form of messianic anticipation. The historical perspective, embodied by Fackenheim, on the other hand, links teshuva directly with what he calls the “614th commandment” – to not forget the Holocaust – that must take place within history. Finally, De Doncker presents the Vilnian Yiddish poet Avrom Sutzkever and how, through his poetry, he presents an answer in the middle between the historical and transhistorical perspectives. These answers show the diversity and resilience of post-Holocaust Judaism
Response to de Wit et al., 2016, “Characteristics of Auditory Processing Disorders: A Systematic Review”
No full text
Purpose
This letter to the editor is in response to a review by de Wit et al. (2016), “Characteristics of Auditory Processing Disorders: A Systematic Review,” published in April 2016 by
Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research.
Conclusion
The author argues that the conclusions in the de Wit et al. (2016) review are unfortunate in light of advances made in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of bottom-up auditory processing disorders in children.

Development of an Airborne Ka-band FMCW Synthetic Aperture Radar
No full textIn the field of airborne earth observation there is a special interest in lightweight, low cost imaging radars of high resolution. Such radar systems could play an essential role in small-scale earth observation applications such as the monitoring of dikes, watercourses or areas in which gas pipes or electrical power lines are buried. In order to be successful, such systems should consume little power and they should be small enough to be mounted on very small airborne platforms. Moreover, in order to be of interest to the civil market, cost effectiveness is mandatory. The novel combination of compact frequency modulated continuous wave (FM-CW) radar technology and high resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processing techniques should pave the way for the development of such a small and cost effective imaging radar. Although SAR techniques have already been successfully applied to coherent pulse radars, the practicability of FM-CW SAR is not evident. In pulse SAR signal processing it is assumed that the radar platform is stationary throughout the transmission of a pulse and the reception of the corresponding echo. This so-called stop-and-go approximation is valid since the transmitted pulses are very short. FM-CW radars transmit relatively long sweeps which is why the stop-and-go approximation may no longer be valid. In that case, the change of range during the transmission of a sweep and the reception of the corresponding echo should be taken into account. The effect of the continuous platform motion is investigated by deriving the response of an FM-CW SAR system to a single stationary point target. This investigation shows that the platform motion induces a Doppler frequency shift throughout the SAR observation time. A modification to the range migration compensation is proposed to compensate the Doppler frequency shift at the same time.IRCTRElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
