"BETTA"
No full textabstract: BETTA, a narrative music video short film was produced by Kaitlyn Baucke and directed by June Hucko, and written by both filmmakers. By employing the knowledge and experiences gained in their academic careers, they were able to create a compelling yet experimental film that challenges the idea of whether or not people are simply compilations of their memories, and experiences. Sparked by an interest in music media, this project is in the visual style of a music video, but with a 10-minute narrative. This film lightheartedly tells the story of a young woman whose most cherished memories are always accompanied by a meal of tacos. Each memory is memorialized through the collection and personalization of receipts from the taco shop. After collecting hundreds and hundreds of these receipts, she reaches a turning point in her life where she finds herself overrun by her past memories, both positive and negative. She is faced with a decision in which she must choose to dwell in her past, or leave behind memories in order to move forward. The film is scored entirely by original songs of local, ASU affiliated musicians and bands. Producing this film required an extensive pre-production phase of writing, revisions, casting, securing crew, locations, equipment, funding, scheduling, and more. Setting deadlines, sticking to budget, and ensuring smooth production was key to success. From inception, to pre-production, to reflection, this project has allowed the filmmakers to experience evolution, challenges, failures, and immense creative development
COMPARING THE ACTIVATION OF RELU, ELU, AND TANH FUNCTIONS IN CLASSIFYING BETTA FISH SPECIES USING CNN
No full textBetta fish is one of the most popular freshwater ornamental fish, especially in Indonesia because in addition to easy maintenance, breeding is also relatively easy. The most common betta fish, especially in Indonesia, are Crowntail, Halfmoon, and Plakat. But some people can't tell the difference between the types. Therefore, in this final project, we will classify the types of betta fish.
The Crowntail has fins that resemble spines or fingers, the Halfmoon has very wide fins and the tail is like a half moon, while the plakat is almost the same as the halfmoon, only the fins are small. Therefore, the author uses CNN to classify the types of betta fish. In addition to classifying the types of betta fish, the author will also compare which 3 activations (Relu, Tanh, Elu) have the best results.
Based on the results of tests that have been carried out by CNN, it can work well to classify the types of betta fish. By using Relu activation, the test results get an accuracy of 80%

No full textConservation of the critically endangered endemic Malaysian black fighting fish <i>Betta persephone</i> Schaller (Teleostei: Osphronemidae): a brief review
No full textMalaysian black fighting fish Betta persephone Schaller (Teleostei: Osphronemidae) is economically and ecologically important fish in South East Asia notably in Malaysia. The locals keep this fish as ornemental fish as well as biocontrol for mosquitoes larvae. But due to rapid deterioriration of its habitats and economy activities, hence this fish population is decreasing at an alarming level. If this goes unnoticed, the fish may face the risk of extinction. In this review, the author performed a systematic approach to analyse the issues, and propose the ways forward to preserve and sustain this fish both in captivity as well as in its natural habitat.</jats:p
Optimized complex signals for Eddy Current Testing
No full textThe choice of optimized excitation devices and strategies is now interesting recent studies about Non Destructive Eddy Current Testing (ND-ECT). Recently, the attention has been paid to the use of complex excitation signals, meant as signals different from the sinusoidal ones and with wide frequency content. In particular, some studies have highlighted their suitability, respect to the sinusoidal one, in supporting the measurement, detection and quantification stages when 'difficult cases' are explored (i.e. very short or annealed cracks). Generally, two class of signal have been proposed in literature. They concern with signals that have to be analysed in the time domain and signals analysed in transformed domains. The former class is represented by signal as the pulsed or pseudo-noise, while the latter contains signal as the chirp or multi-frequency as the best candidate. The author have placed their attention to this second class of signal and in this paper they propose an experimental comparison among different realization of these excitation signals suitably designed to improve the quality of experimental data when difficult cases are experienced

The Bewitching Eye: Women as Basilisks in the Writing of María de Zayas
No full textA commonly referenced motif in Golden Age Spanish literature is the power of a woman’s gaze. For some, this female seductive power is something to be feared, and it is likened to the gaze of a basilisk, a monstrous serpent that can kill by locking eyes with its prey. One author who makes heavy use of this comparison is María de Zayas y Sotomayor (1590 - c. 1661), author of the Novelas amorosas y ejemplares and the Desengaños amorosos, two collections of short stories that bring to light the experiences of Spanish noblewomen in the 17th century. In the writing of María de Zayas, women are frequently described as basilisks to place the blame on them for generating male desire, and as a symbolic representation of the dangerous powers of women to seduce and reproduce. Since her novelas tend to place the blame on men instead of women, her basilisk references may be the residues of the dominant male discourse of the time, but Zayas also uses basilisk imagery to further her aim to show the unfairness of men toward women. The result is that male characters often describe women as basilisks to justify their efforts in seducing these women. After considering various interpretations of basilisk mythology from Biblical, Greek, and pagan sources, this work explores the textual implications of this symbolism by analyzing examples of women as basilisks in Zayas’s writing
Simulation and test of 3D silicon radiation detectors
No full textThe work presented here is the result of the collaborative effort between the University of Glasgow, ITC-IRST (Trento) and IMB-CNM (Barcelona) in the framework of the CERN-RD50 Collaboration to produce 3D silicon radiation detectors and study their performance.This paper reports on two sets of 3D devices. IRST and CNM have fabricated a set of single-type column 3D detectors, which have columnar electrodes of the same doping type and an ohmic contact located at the backplane. Simulations of the device behaviour and electrical test results are presented. In particular, current–voltage, capacitance–voltage and charge collection efficiency measurements are reported. Other types of structures called double-sided 3D detectors are currently being fabricated at CNM. In these detectors the sets of n and p columns are made on opposite sides of the device. Electrical and technological simulations and first processing results are presented

Pengaruh Hybrid Learning dan Motivasi Belajar Terhadap Keaktifan Siswa Di SMAK XYZ Jababeka [The Influence of Hybrid Learning and Learning Motivation on Students Activities at SMAK XYZ Jababeka]
No full textHybrid learning was held in response to the government's directive regarding steps to anticipate the Covid 19 outbreak. Public and private schools have begun to stop learning at school and begin to implement hybrid learning. Hybrid learning can reduce student learning motivation and student activity. This study aims to determine the influence of hybrid learning and learning motivation on student activity while at SMAK XYZ Jababeka. The subjects in this study are sixty-five students of class X and XI SMAK XYZ Jababeka. The research method used by the author is Path Analysis using a quantitative approach. The questionnaire research instruments used are to measure hybrid learning, learning motivation, and student activity. The results of this quantitative study show that hybrid learning affects student activity in learning, hybrid learning affects learning motivation, learning motivation affects student activity at SMAK XYZ Jababeka. So, it was concluded that hybrid learning influences activity, student learning motivation and learning motivation has an effect on student activity when conducting hybrid learning
