Mozart í moll - Píanókonsertar K. 466 og K. 491
No full textÁrið 1781 sagði Mozart upp störfum sínum í Salzburg og flutti til Vínarborgar til að starfa sem sjálfstætt tónskáld. Mozart var framúrskarandi hljómborðsleikari og íbúar Vínarborgar dáðu hann fyrir snilligáfuna. Til þess að svara óskum aðdáenda sinna skrifaði Mozart 12 píanókonserta, númer 14 – 25 á árunum 1784 til 1786. Þessir konsertar eru stærri í formi, dýpri í tilfinningu og ríkari í litbrigðum en hann eða önnur tónskáld höfðu nokkurn tímann samið. Á þessum árum samdi Mozart píanókonsertana í d- og c-moll, K. 466 og K. 491. Þessir konsertar eru þeir einu í moll af öllum 27 sem hann samdi. Þessir tveir píanókonsertar eru meginefni ritgerðarinnar. Það er ýmislegt sem aðgreinir píanókonsertana tvo frá öðrum píanókonsertum Mozarts bæði hvað varðar tónmál og form. Í verkunum eru andstæður sem mætast og sólistinn hefur tilhneigingu til að streitast á móti yfirráðum hljómsveitarinnar, taka frumkvæðið og stjórna samræðunni

Printed in upper left corner is an explanation of the various geographic features of the map and a place name key:
"My Author of this great Discovery of Independent Tartary is a very Ingenious Greek Gentleman of Note, who affirm'd to me that to his certain knowledge on the South and East side of the Caspian Sea not one River falls into it. And that the Mountains on the South of the said Sea (which are very high) doe not lye so near the Coast as the Czar's Draught makes it but are at least two Days Journey South from it..."
Printed in upper right corner is a note on gold mines:
"My Author show'd me several pieces of fine Gold struck by those Kings, with their Names on them…"
Depicts Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and the Caspian Sea. Also includes part of India and Russia in the north. Shows pictorial mountains and labels major cities, rivers, forests and bodies of water including the Persian Sea in the south. Contains notes about the caravan from Astracan.
Prime Meridian: London.
Scale: 1:12,000,000.This map was originally created by Dutch cartographer, engraver and bookseller, Herman Moll (?-1732). Moll first came to England in 1678. He worked as an engraver for Moses Pitt, Greenville Collins, John Adair, and Seller and Price. Some of his work includes "America and Europe" for Moore's "Geography" (1681), six charts for Collins in 1689, "A System of Geography" (1701), "Globe" (1703), "Atlas Minor" (1727, 1729), and "World Described" (1727) (Tooley, 444).

Immoralities Found in Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders
No full textABSTRACT
Speaking about literature can not be separated from the message that the author wants to convey or present to the readers. By presenting something immoral in the story, the author of the novel does not mean that he wants the readers to follow it. But it is clearly an education that teaches the readers not to do that immoral behavior. Like in novel of Daniel Defoe, Moll Flanders, its story contains some kinds of immoralities of the main character, Moll Flanders.
Based on the background above, it can be formulated some problems as follows: (1) what are immoralities done by the main character Moll Flanders in Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders. (2) what causes of immoralities done by the main character Moll Flanders in Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders and (3) what are effects of immoralities done by the main character Moll Flanders in Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders. The purposes of that study are to describe the immoralities done by the main character Moll Flanders, the causes and the effects of immoralities done by the main character Moll Flanders in Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders.
Theories used in this study are structure of novel, literature and moral, morality, object of moral, moral and ethic, morality and religion, morality and law, immorality, the causes of immoral acts, the effects of immorality acts, and moral approach in literary criticism.
This study applies a literary criticism because in this study the writer conducts discussion of literature, including description, analysis, and interpretation of a literary work. In addition, the writer applies the moral approach because this study analyzes what moral messages want to be conveyed by the author.
From this study, there are three findings can be stated. First, the immoralities done by the main character Moll Flanders are adultery, bigamy, incest, and theft. Second, the causes of immoralities done by the main character Moll Flanders are economic necessity, passionate desire and Moll’s devil. Third, the effects of immoralities done by the main character Moll Flanders are a law sanction, psychological problem, and a moral sanction.
Finally, it is suggested for next researchers to investigate other literary works from some objects or analyze the same works from different points of view

Conception and development of an adaptive optics testbed for free-space optical communication
No full textOptical free space communications are an efficient approach to transmit high data-rates with small antennas and low power consumption over large distances. Possible scenarios are links between satellites, up- and down-links from and to ground stations as well as all kinds of links between aeronautical vehicles. The links that involve propagation of the electro-magnetic wave through the atmosphere are critical. Here, signal quality may be degraded severely due to wave-front distortions. With the exploitation of adaptive optics these wave-front distortions can be compensated and system performance enhanced. In the framework of this thesis, a laboratory testbed is built up which offers the scientist a comfortable support for the development and test of techniques related to adaptive optics and free-space optical
communication. The core components are a hot-air optical turbulence generator, a deformable mirror, and a Shack-Hartmann wave-front sensor. The emphasis of this thesis lies on the development and test of the turbulence generator, the overall concept of the testbed, and its optical design. The testbed makes is possible to reproduce test scenarios with realistic ratios of aperture size over Fried parameter
Skew log-concavity of the Boros-Moll sequences
No full textAbstract Let { T ( n , k ) } 0 ≤ n < ∞ , 0 ≤ k ≤ n be a triangular array of numbers. We say that T ( n , k ) is skew log-concave if for any fixed n, the sequence { T ( n + k , k ) } 0 ≤ k < ∞ is log-concave. In this paper, we show that the Boros-Moll sequences are almost skew log-concave
Individualism and the ruined woman in print and film: social standards, stratification and feminine independence in Daniel Defoe's Moll Flanders, David Attwood's The fortunes and misfortunes of Moll Flanders, and Pen Densham's Moll Flanders
No full textThe 18th Century is undeniably rife with social and political unrest. The highly capitalist nature of society created highly striated social groups ranging from the financially elite to the abjectly poor and morally weak. Minority groups always suffer in these environments and in England the women were truly subject to the depravity of the era. Women as a social group were set up to and expected to fail. Without money and status a woman could amount to nothing more than a wet nurse or a prostitute. Yet, in these stations women were labeled “ruined” and they were ostracized by those in power. This semester I hope to research the social station of women in 18th Century women by examining culture, history, and literature. Specifically, I hope to target Defoe as a major author who sympathizes his ruined women characters in order to show the flaws in 18th Century society. He examines Moll Flanders as the pitiable prostitute, and manages to showcase the struggles of womanhood despite his role as a male author. Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders introduces a liberated female character who defies the standards of society in order to reach a measure of personal individualism. I will also examine other literary characters who enter into prostitution in order to exist within society and the way in which other authors present these women. Are these fictionalized characters representations of reality? Are they accurate? Regardless, they comment on and represent standard stereotypes of the 18th Century and its capitalist flaws. What does this say about the authors, the 18th Century population, the place of women, and England’s economic stratifications?M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Gina Mercuri
