Sixty Years of Community: St. Olaf Catholic Parish in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, 1952-2012
No full textThis paper will explore how the parish community of St. Olaf in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, established in 1952, reflects the Roman Catholic Church, specifically at the local, state, and national levels in the United States. It will also discuss the various changes that have occurred in the past 60 years of its history in terms of the various locations of worship for the members, the growth of the community outreach programs, and the effects of the Second Vatican Council. This ecumenical council was a meeting of Catholic bishops from around the whole that brought reform to the Catholic Church and affected the relationship of the Catholic Church to the world. The parish at St. Olaf has grown from having only 125 families in 1952 to over 1,000 families in 2012

Global existence of a solution to a phase field model for supercooling
No full textIn this work, we will derive a macroscopic model of phase field type for supercooling. The phase transition process is described by the evolution of the temperature and the volume fraction of the liquid phase. This phase field model can also be interpreted as the approximation of some generalized Stefan problem. We will prove the existence of solutions to an initial-boundary value problem for the resulting system by using a time discrete scheme
Northern Rover: The Life Story of Olaf Hanson
No full textFrom 1919 to 1970, Olaf Hanson was a trapper, fur trader, prospector, game guardian, fisherman, and road blasting expert in northeastern Saskatchewan. He told his life story to popular Saskatchewan author A. L. Karras, who wrote this historical memoir in the 1980s. In an uncompromising, straightforward style, Karras and Hanson reveal the geography, wildlife, natural history of the region as well as the business and social interactions between people. Their book offers a look at the vanished subsistence and commercial economy of the boreal forest, wound around a fascinating personal story of courage and physical stamina

Outward pointing inverse Preisach operators
No full textIn some recent papers, the concept of outward pointing operators has been used as a tool within the mathematical investigation of equations involving hysteresis operators and has been considered for the stop operator, the play operator, Prandtl-Ishlinskiidotlesš operators and Preisach operators. Now, for inverse Preisach operators conditions will be discussed which ensure that the outward pointing property is satisfied. As an application of the theory, a stability result for solutions of a P.D.E. with hysteresis appearing in the context of electromagnetic processes is derived. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Analysing the performance of the OLAF framework in the context of identifying music in movies
No full textThis paper presents the findings of a benchmark performed on the audio fingerprinting framework OLAF in the context of movie music. The goal is to find a music identification framework suitable for automatically identifying a song from a movie clip. This research aims to find how well OLAF performs in this context with regard to the criteria determined in the benchmark and to see if the performance can be increased. The OLAF framework makes use of parameters, which are individually tweaked and benchmarked with synthesised data. These findings are then combined to find a set of parameters that is used to perform this same benchmark on real clips from movies. The found parameter setup slightly increased the performance, going from 1 true positive and 133 false negatives in the original setup to 5 true positives, 3 false positives and 126 false negatives.CSE3000 Research ProjectComputer Science and Engineerin
Análisis de Erwin Olaf y sus series fotográficas
No full textErwin Olaf es un autor dedicado tanto a la fotografía, como a la creación de vídeos y a la publicidad. A través de un estudio de este polémico fotógrafo, podremos conocer su vida, obra y técnica.
Este trabajo, que incluye una breve introducción a su obra mediante su biografía y evolución artística, se centra sobre todo en el análisis de sus series personales dentro del gran abanico de proyectos que el autor lleva a cabo, y en relación a esas series, se detallarán otros elementos técnicos de gran importancia como la iluminación, la composición, las poses, la importancia del color o la del Photoshop y el significado de la serie en sí, que tendrá mucho que ver con las vivencias de Olaf.
Tras el estudio teórico, se presenta una interpretación de sus fotografías mediante cuatro series. Estas series de cosecha propia estarán basadas en otras cuatro de Erwin Olaf que se convirtieron en un punto de inflexión en la trayectoria de su obra, tanto artísticamente como en el aspecto más técnico.Erwin Olaf is an author dedicated to photography, videos and advertising. Through a study of this controversial photographer, we can know his life, work and technique.
This work, which includes a brief introduction to his work through his biography and artistic development, focuses mainly on the analysis of their personal series within the wide range of projects that the author carried out, and in relation to such series, will detail other important technical elements such as lighting, composition, poses, the importance of color or Photoshop and significance of the series itself, which have much to do with the experiences of Olaf.
After the theoretical study, an interpretation of his photographs is presented through four series. My series will be based on four more of Erwin Olaf became a turning point in the course of his work, both artistically and in the technical aspect.Grado en Comunicación Audiovisual.
