Contraction of Areas vs. Topology of Mappings
No full textWe construct homotopically non-trivial maps from S[superscript m] to S[superscript m−1] with arbitrarily small k-dilation for each k > [(m + 1) over 2]. We prove that homotopically non-trivial maps from S[superscript m] to S[superscript m−1] cannot have arbitrarily small k-dilation for k ≤ [(m + 1) over 2]
Volumes of balls in Riemannian manifolds and Uryson width
No full textIf (M[superscript n], g) is a closed Riemannian manifold where every unit ball has volume at most ϵ[subscript n] (a sufficiently small constant), then the (n − 1)-dimensional Uryson width of (M[superscript n], g) is at most 1
Kokuhō: From Dynastic to Artistic Treasure
No full textLe point de départ de ce bref article fut l'étude d'Anna Seidel, parue en 1981, sur les origines du terme kokuhō en Chine et au Japon. Il examine, dans la perspective de la promulgation en 1897 de la Loi de protection des temples et sanctuaires anciens (Koshaji hozon hō), l'évolution de l'usage de ce terme : d "objet précieux" à "objet d'art".Guth Christine M.

Promoting dialogue or hegemonic practice? Power issues in telecollaboration
No full textThis qualitative study explores the impact of potential linguistic, technical and educational
hegemonies on the learning outcomes for English language students in Hebron, Palestine,
and Padova, Italy, who were involved in the Soliya Connect Program, a telecollaboration
project developed to explore critical issues that divide the ‘West’ and the ‘predominantly
Arab and Muslim world’. The project is organised around weekly synchronous moderated
video discussions between students from the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East and North
Africa. The authors first discuss the hegemonies that might be at play in this
telecollaboration project and examine the specific power imbalances on the macro-, mesoand micro-levels that students in Hebron and Padova might experience. Then, drawing on
data from learner diaries and reflective papers, facilitator reports, and questionnaires, the
authors provide evidence for the emergence of a third space conceptualised as a site of
struggle and conflict, but also a dialogic, fluid and evolving space. The aspects of the
project that seemed to contribute most to the creation of a third space were found to be: (a)
the role of trained facilitators in addressing power imbalances, (b) the dialogic approach to
conflict that the program is based on, and (c) the use of audio-video conferencing which
humanises the experience and increases empathy among students
Telecollaboration 2.0: Language, Literacies and Intercultural Learning in the 21st Century.
No full textThis volume brings together selected papers by international experts on computer-mediated communication and language teaching given at the EUROCALL CMC Special Interest Group conference which was held at the University of Padova in 2008, and contributions specifically commissioned from experts in the field such as Steve Thorne, M-N Lamy and Robin Goodfellow. It is subdivided into four sections: New Trends and Environments in Telecollaboration; Language Learner 2.0: New Skills and Competences; Language Educator 2.0: New Skills and Competences; Case Studies, with examples spanning South America, Australia, US, Japan, Middle East and Europe. The book, which is the first in the new series dedicated to promoting a wider understanding of telecollaboration in education has had positive reviews in international journals such as Journal of Language Learning & Technology http://llt.msu.edu/issues/february2011/review1.pdf, the International Review of Open and Distance Learning http://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/1156/2037 and the Linguist list http://linguistlist.org/issues/22/22-2830.htm

Terrain Analysis According to Multiscale Surface Roughness in the Taklimakan Desert
No full textSurface roughness, interpreted in the wide sense of surface texture, is a generic term referring to a variety of aspects and scales of spatial variability of surfaces. The analysis of solid earth surface roughness is useful for understanding, characterizing, and monitoring geomorphic factors at multiple spatiotemporal scales. The different geomorphic features characterizing a landscape exhibit specific characteristics and scales of surface texture. The capability to selectively analyze specific roughness metrics at multiple spatial scales represents a key tool in geomorphometric analysis. This research presents a simplified geostatistical approach for the multiscale analysis of surface roughness, or of image texture in the case of images, that is highly informative and interpretable. The implemented approach is able to describe two main aspects of short-range surface roughness: omnidirectional roughness and roughness anisotropy. Adopting simple upscaling approaches, it is possible to perform a multiscale analysis of roughness. An overview of the information extraction potential of the approach is shown for the analysis of a portion of the Taklimakan desert (China) using a 30 m resolution DEM derived from the Copernicus Glo-30 DSM. The multiscale roughness indexes are used as input features for unsupervised and supervised learning tasks. The approach can be refined both from the perspective of the multiscale analysis as well as in relation to the surface roughness indexes considered. However, even in its present, simplified form, it can find direct applications in relation to multiple contexts and research topics
