Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

The Cultural and Commercial Values of Chinese Retail Complexes Designed in Traditional Vernacular Styles
No full textIn modern China, more and more buildings in imitation of traditional building style have sprung up. These structures not only have the appearance of historical buildings but also function as modern utilitarian buildings.
This paper aims to study such buildings in order to discover the cultural and commercial values of Chinese retail complexes which have been designed in these traditional vernacular styles using the buildings of Fashion Island in Yancheng City as a case study.
Firstly, by exploring the background of Fashion Island, the cultural connotations of this area are described which include the origin of Chinese city culture, Hui style architecture, aesthetics and style, and ancestor worship.
Furthermore, through the concept of experience consumption, the way in which the commercial building reflects its commercial value is explored.
Finally, according to questionnaire responses of both local residents and visitors, it is found that the buildings in Fashion Island inherit the traditional style of Yancheng City and reflect the culture and association of Fashion Island area with the city. Compared with normal commercial buildings, the function and connotation of the buildings that imitate traditional building style is richer, demonstrated by the integration of travel, recreation and shopping, and the connection between the buildings and their goods and services. According to field survey research and questionnaire, the cultural and commercial value of such commercial buildings in Fashion Island was determined. Finally, it was found how the cultural and commercial value of commercial buildings that imitate traditional styles can be expressed

An extended generalized integral inequality based on free matrices and its application to stability analysis of neural networks with time-varying delays
No full text© 2022 The Franklin InstituteThis paper proposes an extended generalized integral inequality based on free matrices (EGIIFM) and applies it to the stability analysis of neural networks with time-varying delays. The EGIIFM estimates an upper bound for a quadratic form of a positive definite matrix with an augmented vector staked not only with the state and its derivative but also with the nonlinear activation function. By reflecting the correlated cross-information among the terms in the augmented vector as free matrices, the EGIIFM provides a tighter upper bound and encompasses various existing single integral inequalities as special cases. In addition, by establishing a new double integral Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional including the correlated cross-information, a less conservative stability criterion is obtained. Through three well-known numerical examples, the effectiveness of the EGIIFM is evaluated.11Nsciescopu

Kustverdediging na 1990 (Kustnota 1990): Technisch rapport 18: Berekeningsresultaten beleidsalternatieven
No full textVanuit een beschrijving van beleidsanalyse in algemene zin en de gebruikelijke terminologie en definiering ervan, wordt toegewerkt naar een specificatie van de voor de discussienota 'Kustverdediging na 1990' gehanteerde beleidsanalytische aanpak. Hierin wordt de doelstelling van de studie uitgewerkt, wordt de uitgangssituatie gespecificeerd en worden de randvoorwaarden beschreven. De gewenste ontwikkelingen ten aanzien van de kustverdediging en de relatie met de maatschappelijke funkties in het kustgebied worden vastgelegd in strategieen. Wanneer ook de maatregelen die deze strategieen konkreet maken worden ingevuld leidt dit tot (beleids) alternatieven. Tevens wordt aangegeven welke ontwikkelingen de inspanningen die voor de kustverdediging de komende decennia nodig zijn, in hoofdzaak bepalen. Deze worden uitgedrukt in scenario's en betreffen vooral de hydrometeorologische randvoorwaarden (zeespiegel, klimaat) en de morfologische ontwikkelingen (gemiddeld, ongunstig). Tot slot worden de criteria beschreven op basis waarvan de ontwikkelingen bij diverse beleidskeuzes kunnen worden vergeleken. Het betreft kosten, verliezen aan duinareaal, e.d. Ten behoeve van de integrale analyse is het systeemanalytische model KUSTBEL (TR-17 ) ontwikkeld waarmee op relatief eenvoudige wijze voor de verschillende beleidsalternatieven de resulterende kustontwikkeling en de effecten daarvan op veiligheid en functies kunnen worden geanalyseerd en vergeleken. De feitelijke uitvoering van de beleidsanalyse richt zich op de analyse van beleidsalternatieven aan de hand van concrete rekengevallen, die in KUSTBEL worden ingevoerd (uitgezonderd de strategie Zeewaarts). Als onderdeel van de analyse is tevens een gevoeligheidsanalyse uitgevoerd om de invloed te kunnen inschatten van de onzekerheden die samenhangen met de beschikbare kennis en informatie.Kustnot
