Ktētōr and Synthesis: Epigrams, Miniatures, and Authorship in the Leo Bible
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2014The Leo Bible (Rome, Vat. Reg. Gr. 1) is an illuminated Old Testament produced in Byzantium during the mid-tenth century. Presented as a gift to a monastery of St. Nicholas by Leo Sakellarios, a court eunuch and palace treasurer, the Bible is the only surviving manuscript of its kind from Byzantium. Known for its luxurious epigrams and miniatures, the Leo Bible's classicizing miniatures are frequently cited as exemplars of tenth-century Byzantine art, although the manuscript is rarely considered as whole. This study takes a new approach to the Leo Bible, focusing on the manuscript as a work of visual and poetic exegesis, in which word and image work together to frame the Old Testament in a Christian context. Beyond its exegetical nature, the Leo Bible also demonstrates a marked interest in the theme of authorship. By considering Byzantine notions of authorship in conjunction with the Bible's visual and epigrammatic program, this study offers new insights into the concept of patronage in Byzantium and the means by which patrons constructed their image and legacy through their commissions. In the case of the Leo Bible, this study will address how Leo Sakellarios is understood to be the author of the manuscript and its exegetical commentary, and how this act of authorship is reflected in the Bible's visual and poetic programs
Denotation and connotation in public representation: Semantic network analysis of Hwang supporters’ internet dialogues
No full text This article analyzes the internet discourses of Korean people who supported Hwang Woo Suk despite the disclosure of his scientific misconduct. During the controversial period, those who supported Hwang constructed a narrative of a fallen hero trapped by jealous rivals and an “unjust” society. The supporters’ dramatized discourses compete with expert opinions of Seoul National University’s Audit Board and prosecutors that investigated the scientific fraud. By introducing and applying an innovative method of semantic network analysis, this study explores how the supporters represent their personal concerns in daily life and latent social problems in South Korea, as well as the failure of science communication. In short, the supporters’ internet representations connote concerns in daily life that motivated their sympathy and activism for Hwang. </jats:p
Leo Katz as an author of children’s books. A failed attempt?
No full textDas Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, Leo Katz als Kinderbuchautor zu betrachten und darüber
nachzudenken, welche Rolle seine Jugendbücher in seinem gesamten Werk und in der
Geschichte der deutschsprachigen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur spielen. Es werden nicht
nur seine veröffentlichten Kinderbücher betrachtet, sondern auch andere
unveröffentlichte Jugendromane, die unbekannt bzw. unpubliziert geblieben sind.
Um den Autor aus der Vergessenheit zu holen, werden unter anderem die nicht
bekannten Werke des Autors für Jugendliche vorgestellt und es wird überlegt, weshalb
sie damals nicht veröffentlicht wurden.Stadt Wien KulturDepto. de Filología Alemana y Filología EslavaFac. de Comercio y TurismoTRUEpu

Phoenix-XNS - A Miniature Real-Time Navigation System for LEO Satellites
No full textThe paper describes the development of a miniature GPS receiver with integrated real-time navigation system for orbit determination of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). The Phoenix-XNS receiver is based on a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) single-frequency GPS receiver board that has been qualified for use in a moderate space environment. Its firmware is specifically designed for space applications and accounts for the high signal dynamics in the acquisition and tracking process. The supplementary eXtended Navigation System (XNS) employs an elaborate force model and a 24-state Kalman filter to provide a smooth and continuous reduced-dynamics navigation solution even in case of restricted GPS availability. Through the use of the GRAPHIC code-carrier combination, ionospheric path delays can be fully eliminated in the filter, which overcomes the main limitation of conventional single-frequency receivers. Tests conducted in a signal simulator test bed have demonstrated a filtered navigation solution accuracy of better than 1 m (3D rms)

Author identification: national and disciplinary approaches
No full textAuthor identication can be provided by authors themselves, or be intermediaries. Authors can be identified ex-post, within sets of bibliographic data, or ex-ante, when publication data is composed. Leo Waaijers introduces the digital author identifier, as working in the DARE project. It is based on old library technology, yet compliant with the forthcoming ISO standard on party identification ISPI. Thomas Krichel introduces the ACIS project (http://acis.openlib.org) and its first implementation in the RePEc author service (http://authors.repec.org). This is a low-cost approach. It relies on authors themselves to register. A central registration is a pure ex-post operation. However, it can be combined with an archival operation to permit additional ex-ante registered author data
