Compact Toeplitz Operators for Weighted Bergman Spaces on Bounded Symmetric Domains
No full textLet Omega subset of C(d) be an irreducible bounded symmetric domain of type (r, a, b) in its Harish-Chandra realization. We study Toeplitz operators T(g)(v) with symbol g acting on the standard weighted Bergman space H(v)(2) over Omega with weight nu. Under some conditions on the weights nu and nu (0) we show that there exists C(nu, nu (0)) > 0, such that the Berezin transform (g) over tilde nu 0 of g with respect to H(nu 0)(2) satisfies: parallel to(g) over tilde (nu 0)parallel to(infinity) C where C is a constant depending on (r, a, b).DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft

Data for: A comparative adsorption study of benzophenone-3 onto synthesized lipophilic organosilicate, Laponite and montmorillonite
No full textIn this study, the adsorption of a hydrophobic molecule, benzophenone-3 (BZ-3) was investigated onto three adsorbents: synthesized lipophilic organosilicate (OSL), Laponite (Lap) and montmorillonite (Mt). A comparative study for all adsorbents with batch adsorption experiments was achieved to determine the optimal conditions. The effects of the main experimental parameters were determined such as solvent, pH, temperature, initial concentration of BZ-3 and contact time. The adsorption capacity was evaluated by means of HPLC analysis equipped with UV detection and the adsorbent - BZ-3 complexes were characterized by means of Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) analysis and Attenuated Total Reflectance - Fourier Transform InfraRed (ATR - FTIR) spectroscopy. Finally, the adsorption isotherm equilibrium was described according to Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models. The results showed that optimal value of the adsorbed BZ-3 for all adsorbents was found at pH 10, at 38 °C, with BZ-3 concentration of 2.5 g/L during 24 h of contact time. The results obtained showed a promising capacity of the OSL to adsorb BZ-3 (340 mg of BZ-3/g of adsorbent) compared to Lap (137 mg/g) and Mt (192.3 mg/g). Langmuir model fitted the best with OSL and Mt adsorption while Freundlich model fitted the best with Lap adsorption
A folkloristic image of homeland in the novel „The Issa valley“ by Czesław Miłosz
No full texte-ISSN 2029-8692The article reveals that the novel The Issa valley by Czesław Miłosz aims to represent the Issa valley as a preserver of an archaic cultural heritage, mainly by using folklore genres which have preserved mythical thinking (mythological songs, belief legends and historical legends). It may be observed that nearly all folklore material at least in some detail is associated with the river Issa – the fulcrum of the represented world. In the novel, folklore material is employed when the author seeks to reveal a junction of paganism and Christianity and the battle between them, which continues both in the collective world outlook of the inhabitants of the Issa valley and in the inner world of a particular person. Orienting himself to folkloristic prototypes, the author in his novel epitomizes individual characters. Moreover, the article discloses that mythological songs about the Sun and the Moon, which in the novel are introduced as registered on the river Issa (Nevėžis is a prototype of Issa), in reality are taken from a song collection by L. Rėza Dainos oder Litthauische Volkslieder (1825), published in Lithuania Minor.Kultūrų studijų katedra / Department of Cultural StudiesHumanitarinių mokslų fakultetas / Faculty of HumanitiesVytauto Didžiojo universitetas / Vytautas Magnus Universit
PEMAKNAAN SIMBOL MATSU (マツ) DALAM ANTOLOGI HAIKU ISSA AND BEING HUMAN KAJIAN SEMIOTIKA 「Issa And Being Human」という俳句のアンソロジにおけるマツのシンボの意味『記号論研究』
No full textABSTRACT
Azzahra, Qonita. 2018. "Meaning of the Matsu Symbol (マツ) in the Anthology of Haiku Issa And Being Human Semiotics Study". Thesis S1 Japanese Language and Culture Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Diponegoro University. Supervisor Nur Hastuti, S.S., M.Hum.
This study examines the meaning of the pine symbol found in Kobayashi Issa's haiku and the relation between the pine symbol and the background of Issa's life. The author will analyze five haiku which contain pine symbols, from the anthology of Issa And Being Human Haiku (Lanoue in 2017). This study aims to find the meaning of pine symbols and how they relate to the background of the life of Kobayashi Issa.
The method used in this study is literature study. Whereas to analyze the meaning of the pine symbol found in haiku, uses the semiotic theory of C.S. Peirce. After knowing the true meaning of the pine symbol, the author then relates it to the background of the life of Kobayashi Issa. This way is to find out if there is a connection between the pine symbols and the background of the life of Kobayashi Issa.
From the analysis, it is known that the symbol of pine could mean strength, fortitude, kindness, longevity, and a bright future / luck. While the relationship between the pine symbol and the background of the life of Kobayashi Issa is as a description of the properties that Issa has or wants. Living side by side with pine trees makes Issa very understanding of the true characters of pine. That is why he put a lot of pine symbols into his haiku to describe his own nature.
Keywords: semiotics, Kobayashi Issa, symbol of pine, Issa's life
A contribution to the study of Gnathia ware from Issa
No full textKeramika tipa Gnathia pronađena je na 38 nalazišta duž istočne
obale Jadrana i bliže mu unutrašnjosti. Ipak, najviše posuda te
keramičke vrste pronađeno je u antičkoj Isi. Brojnost i određene
značajke u obliku i ukrasu na posudama iz Ise otvorile su
pretpostavku o lokalnoj isejskoj proizvodnji keramike tipa
Gnathia. Prvi je tu pretpostavku iznio Branko Kirigin. Na temelju
proučavanja grobnog inventara s nekropole na Martvilu u Visu
podijelio je posude tipa Gnathia iz Ise u četiri faze. Autorica je
pomoću arheoloških komparativnih metoda analize dekoracije i
morfologije na svim dosad objavljenim posudama ove vrste na
istočnom Jadranu usporedila novije spoznaje o ovoj keramičkoj
vrsti s Kiriginovim tezama. Također je ponudila razvoj tipologije
posuda isejske keramike tipa Gnathia unutar kronološkog okvira
od sredine 3. do kraja 2. st. pr. Kr.Gnathia ware was found at 38 sites on the eastern Adriatic coast
and its immediate interior. Nonetheless, the most vessels of this
pottery type were found in Antique-era Issa. The high number
and specific characteristics in the shape and ornamentation on
the vessels from Issa have led to the hypothesis on local Issa
production of this pottery type. Branko Kirigin first stated this
hypothesis on the basis of study of the tomb inventory from the
necropolis at Martvilo in Vis, dividing the Gnathia vessels from
Issa into four phases. Using stylistic methods for the attribution
of painters and groups, analysis of morphology on all vessels thus
far published in the eastern Adriatic, the author compared new
knowledge on this pottery type with Kirigin’s theses. She also offers
a development of the typology of the Issa Gnathia ware vessels
inside a chronological framework from the mid-third to the end of
the second century BC
Control of transient power during unintentional islanding of microgrids
No full textIn inverter-based microgrids, the paralleled inverters need to work in grid-connected mode and stand-alone mode and to transfer seamlessly between the two modes. In grid-connected mode, the inverters control the amount of power injected into the grid. In stand-alone mode, however, the inverters control the island voltage while the output power is dictated by the load. This can be achieved using the droop control. Inverters can have different power set-points during grid-connected mode but in stand-alone mode they all need their power set-points to be adjusted according to their power ratings. However, during sudden unintentional islanding (due to loss of mains), transient power can flow from inverters with high power setpoints to inverters with low power set-points, which can raise the DC link voltage of the inverters causing them to shut down. This paper investigates the transient circulating power between paralleled inverters during unintentional islanding and proposes a controller to limit it. The controller monitors the DC link voltage and adjusts the power set-point in proportion to the rise in the voltage. A small signal model of an islanded microgrid is developed and used to design the controller. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the design
