    Lisa and John- Look at Us!

    No full text
    An immersive installation of new works chosen by Lisa and John themselves. This installation opens up the archive via collaboration with Lisa and John’s choices, guided by memory, sentiment, and humour, drawing again on the transcripts of the couple, discussing their picture choices. ‘Look at Us!’ presents as a two-screen presentation employing facilitatory ideologies of installation as an immersive and audience autonomous environment, and offers a choreographed projection of Lisa and John’s selections of photographs. The running time of 1h 45m extends the unedited transcripts of the audio files with overlapping segments around the occasional use of the same imagery and contradictory recall of the couple. ‘Look at Us’ proposes a physicality suggested in ‘Oh My days’ in it's corner design and notions of an expanded photographic event

    Why not look at animals?

    No full text
    Revisiting John Berger’s seminal essay ‘Why Look at Animals?’ (1980), this essay inverts Berger’s title in order to explore instances where the visibility of animals is at stake and where seeing is linked to forms of surveillance and control. In the context of advanced optical and tracking technologies that render animals permanently visible, the possibility of not-seeing emerges as a progressive modality of relation to animals that takes seriously the notion of animal privacy and the exposed animal’s resistance to the human gaze

    Dr. Matthew Rimmer takes a closer look at Fair Use

    No full text
    *This article is free to read on the publisher's website*\ud \ud For this week's Favorites of the Week, Dr. Matthew Rimmer wanted to focus in on some of the specific points that came up in the Congressional hearing on fair use earlier this week. While a bit different than our usual "favorites of the week" post, it's a really fantastic in-depth look at some of the issues, which I'm sure many of you will enjoy

    Zebrafish microRNA-126 determines hematopoietic cell fate through c-Myb.

    Precise regulatory mechanisms are required to appropriately modulate the cellular levels of transcription factors controlling cell fate decisions during blood cell development. In this study, we show that miR-126 is a novel physiological regulator of the proto-oncogene c-myb during definitive hematopoiesis. We show that knockdown of miR-126 results in increased c-Myb levels and promotes erythropoiesis at the expense of thrombopoiesis in vivo. We further provide evidence that specification of thrombocyte versus erythrocyte cell lineages is altered by the concerted activities of the microRNAs (miRNAs) miR-126 and miR-150. Both miRNAs are required but not sufficient individually to precisely regulate the cell fate decision between erythroid and megakaryocytic lineages during definitive hematopoiesis in vivo. These results support the notion that miRNAs not only function to provide precision to developmental programs but also are essential determinants in the control of variable potential functions of a single gene during hematopoiesis

    A Critical Look At Mias

    No full text
    In this report the author brings a figure of the costs that go with the implementation of a landing aid, being a successor to the currently used system ILS. These cost figures should give the reader an insight in the possible costs necessary for the implementation of MIAS. Also a little discussion concerning the market value and the inherent political issues going with it are interwoven in part one of this thesis. Part two deals with the question of how other systems proved their required integrity norms. Especially a closer look at the way ILS System 4000 proved its maturity is given. Two possible methods to decide the service level of the equipment will be described and a list of works where several test specifications are described. Also, a new conception will be introduced, the “AI product”. Part three gives an answer to the following question: there is in the Kalman filter of MIAS the postulation of Gaussian shaped white noise, with a certain variance and on the other hand we want to fetch the stringent ICAO requirements (especially those for the system integrity). Do these two matters go hand in hand or do they conflict each other? Is there a way to fulfil the norms and in the meanwhile make use of the mathematical simplicity of Gaussian shaped white noise? As a reaction on these issues some approaches to adaptive Kalman filtering are described and a new manner of tuning a Kalman filter is set up, based on a system identification algorithm called MOESP.Applied SciencesElectrical EngineeringTelecommunications and Traffic Control Systems Grou

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
