Introduction: An Overview of the Reign of Alexander II
No full textBook Description: This volume explores aspects of the political, social, cultural, economic and religious development of Scotland in the reign of King Alexander II (1214-49). It constitutes the first full-length, multi-author study of the king and his reign. The nine contributors to the volume explore issues as diverse as the historiography of the reign, Anglo-Scottish relations, Church-State relations, economy and international trade, law, aristocratic symbolism, urban development and the territorial expansion of the kingdom. This book, the first major study of a reign which saw the Scottish monarchy achieve its mastery of northern mainland Britain, is of great importance to historians of medieval Scotland and the wider British Isles. The book is illustrated with 24 colour and b/w photographs and 5 maps and plans. Show More Show Les
Odoardo Fialetti (1573-c.1638): the interrelation of Venetian art and anatomy, and his importance in England
No full textBolognese artist Odoardo Fialetti (1573 – c.1638) is a fascinating figure upon which curiously little work has been done. Though he is a rarely discussed pupil of Tintoretto, Fialetti’s oeuvre is vast (some 55 known paintings and approximately 450 prints) and incredibly diverse. His work encompasses religious subjects, portraits, books on drawing and sport, maps, and illustration for treatises on city defences, literary texts, and anatomy. His work was influential for several hundred years after his death, not only in Venice and northern Italy, but also in France where his designs were used as decoration on faïence produced at Nevers, and England, where his paintings were much admired at court. Fialetti’s close association with Sir Henry Wotton, and the careful copy of his drawing book made by Alexander Browne in the mid-seventeenth century, attest to his impact on the formation of an Italianate sensibility in the appreciation of the visual arts in Early Modern England. In the realm of science, Fialetti’s influence can be deduced from his drawings of curiously animated cadavers in detailed landscapes to those of future generations of anatomists and illustrators throughout Europe. Because of the diverse associations and projects throughout his career, the study of Fialetti is inherently interdisciplinary, encompassing the history of art, history of science and history of the Venetian book trade, as well as crossing geographical boundaries in linking Venetian art and English tastes of the late renaissance and early baroque. Through examination of his extant oeuvre, as well as discussion of lost work, I aim to recognise Fialetti’s status as an artist responding to contemporary artistic debates (disegno versus colorito), a changing cultural climate and the burgeoning importance of the printed medium

Alexander the Great: A Historiography of Power
No full textThis thesis tackles a central question in the historiography of Alexander the Great: why has the scholarship about him changed so wildly over the centuries? The answer put forward in this thesis is that definitions of power are the driving agent behind the ever-changing nature of Alexander scholarship. Over time and across cultures, the "correct" use of power has shifted dramatically, and the way Alexander has been written about has shifted accordingly. This thesis, then, analyzes sixteen authors, spanning centuries of scholarship, and traces how the authors' contexts may have influenced their view of power and how, in turn, that view may have influenced their accounts of Alexander's life. The thesis begins by exploring the issues with the source material about Alexander the Great and what scholars know about the lost, primary sources. The first chapter discusses the authors of the five ancient extant written accounts of Alexander: Diodorus Siculus, Quintus Curtius Rufus, Plutarch, Arrian, and Pompeius Trogus/Justin. The second chapter covers a large expanse of time, beginning with the Alexander Romance as a transmission agent for Alexander scholarship through the Middle Ages. It identifies Machiavelli's Prince as the first place that Alexander reemerges as a historical, not legendary figure. From this point on, it analyzes Samuel Clarke, Charles Rollin, Montesquieu, and Konstantinos Paparrigopoulos. With this last author, the thesis considers how he stands against the near-contemporary example of George Grote. The third chapter moves into the twentieth century. Beginning with William Woodthorpe Tarn and his belief in Alexander's proclamation of the brotherhood of all mankind, the thesis traces the specific impact of events like the First and Second World Wars, the creation of the League of Nations, and the politics of the Soviet Union on Alexander scholarship. This is evident in the scholarship of Ernst Badian, Peter Green, and AB Bosworth, who, in the context of leaders like Hitler and Stalin, see power of the sort that Alexander wields as tyrannical and corrupting. NGL Hammond, the last author featured in this thesis, presents a counterargument against these more negative interpretations, returning to the idealism of Tarn. These sixteen authors, though each existing in very different contexts and representing very different beliefs, all similarly display how definitions of power deeply influence their opinions about Alexander and the purposes they have for creating an account of his life.History, Department ofHonors Colleg

NUFFT-Based Range Migration for 3-D Imaging with Irregular Planar Array
No full textIn this paper, a Nonuniform fast Fourier transform (NUFFT)-based range migration algorithm (RMA) is proposed for three-dimensional (3-D) imaging with irregular planar arrays. The proposed imaging algorithm takes advantage of NUFFT to reconstruct the signal spectra in the wavenumber domain, which overcomes the constraint of irregular spatial sampling on the utilization of Fourier-based imaging algorithms. Compared to the conventional coherent summation algorithms, i.e., backprojection and Kirchhoff migration, it is a very efficient method for 3-D image formation with nonuniform spatial sampling. To demonstrate its imaging performance, some numerical simulations are presented and discussed.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Microwave Sensing, Signals & System
Forward-Looking GPR Imaging with Near-Optimal 3-D Synthetic Array
No full textIn this paper, we propose an Elevation-Radial scanned Synthetic Aperture Radar (E-RadSAR) for forward-looking ground penetrating radar (GPR) imaging. The E-RadSAR exploits the advantages of both RadSAR and Elevation-Circular SAR (E-CSAR) by utilizing the SAR technique in the cross- and down-range directions for signal acquisition. It could be implemented with fewer antennas compared to the RadSAR but provides higher spatial resolutions than that of E-CSAR. These features make it very attractive for space-and/or cost-constrained imaging applications, for instance, the GPR systems used for tunnel boring machines (TBM). However, the E-RadSAR synthesizes a three-dimensional (3-D) array by taking measurements in a volume, which makes the traditional sampling criterion no longer applicable for its sampling strategy design. To tackle 3-D (synthetic) array sampling/design, we formulate it as a sensor selection problem and suggest an efficient selection algorithm, i.e., modified clustered FrameSense (modified CFS). Then it is used for 3-D array sampling design. The imaging performances of the resultant near-optimal 3-D arrays are demonstrated through numerical simulations.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Microwave Sensing, Signals & System
