Producción musical del tema Dónde Estás del artista Tomas Cansing
The musical theme “Dónde Estás” came in a spontaneous way, back in August of 2013, based on personal experiences of the author. The project was totally produced by the musician and composer Tomas Cansing, who tried to capture his ideas and both musical and lyrical experiences, to attempt that the listener feels identified with the principal concept of the song. Due to the musical features of the song, the production process was carried out by implementing standardized concepts and techniques related to the musical trend of this project. At the same time taking into account the musical references exposed by the artist, since there were some elements as: instrumentation and sonority that worked as a base for the musical production…El tema musical “Dónde Estás” nace de manera espontánea, a mediados del mes de Agosto del 2013, basado en experiencias propias del autor. El proyecto fue producido en su totalidad por el músico y compositor “Tomas Cansing”, quien intentó plasmar sus ideas y vivencias tanto en música como en letra, procurando que el oyente se sienta identificado con el concepto principal de la canción. Debido a las características musicales de la canción, el proceso de producción se llevó a cabo implementando los conceptos y las técnicas estandarizadas en relación al género musical del correspondiente proyecto. A su vez, se tomó en consideración las referencias musicales expuestas por el artista, ya que existieron elementos tales como: instrumentación y sonoridad que sirvieron como base para la producción musical…
TOMAS: De variant op palen
TOMAS is een bouwmethode voor de geïndustrialiseerde aanleg van een tunnelbak voor spoor- en wegverbindingen onder maaiveld. Dit rapport is globaal onder te verdelen in drie onderwerpen: 1) Beschrijving van de technologie; In dit gedeelte van het rapport wordt kort ingegaan op het technische idee achter TOMAS. De knelpunten worden behandeld en technisch onderbouwd. Bij een optimale werking van het proces kan TOMAS een voortgangssnelheid boeken van 45 meter per dag. 2) Krachtsbepaling onder een maatgevende treinlast in eindfase; Uitgangspunt is dat TOMAS een eindprodukt achterlaat dat geschikt is om treinverkeer toe te laten. Er wordt een belastinggeval bekeken waarbij twee treinen elkaar passeren en een statische belasting geven van 160 kN/m. Het blijkt dat de lengte van de treinen invloed hebben op de momentverdeling in de bak. Een maximum moment (circa 12.000 kNm) wordt bereikt bij een treinlengte van 30 meter. Het moment veroorzaakt een vormverandering in de bak waardoor de voegen neigen open te gaan staan. Als de voegen open staan kan grondwater in de bak stromen. Een eis voor de uiteindelijke constructie is dat deze grondwaterdicht moet zijn. Om de bak onder deze last waterdicht te houden is een axiale voorspanning benodigd van 3200 kN. De parameters benodigd voor de berekening, de beddingsconstante, de h.o.h. afstand van de heipalen en de veerstijfheid van de palen is bepaald in een typisch Rotterdams grondprofiel. 3) Technische onderbouwing van de haa/baarheid van TOMAS in de bouwfase; In de bouwfase is voornamelijk de invloed van de uitsleuver belicht waarbij is geprobeerd antwoord te krijgen op de volgende vragen: \u95 Blijft het graaffront stabiel, zal de grond niet gaan afschuiven? Wat is de invloed van gekruiste platen (frietsnijdervorm) aan het graaffront op de stabiliteit van het graaffront? \u95 Is er een blijvende axiale voorspanning in de bak? \u95 Hoe groot zijn de vijzelkrachten wanneer de uitsleuver zich door de grond drukt? \u95 Hoe reageert de betonnen bak onder de, niet continue, vijzelkracht? Om het graaffront van de uitsleuver zo klein mogelijk te houden wordt de grond aan het front gestabiliseerd met gekruiste platen. Deze platen hebben de vorm van een 'frietsnijder' en worden met kracht door de grond gedrukt. Deze kracht is erg afhankelijk van de grondsoort. Over het algemeen geeft, bij het gebruik van overlangse platen aan het graaffront, een zandige grondsoort grote krachten (tot 50.000 kN), wat het gebruik van deze platen aan het graaffront minder geschikt maakt voor deze gronden. Voor kleiige gronden ligt de vijzelkracht in de orde van grootte 20.000 kN.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
Identifying Author Fingerprints in Texts via Graph Neural Networks
The world is generating more and more network data in many different areas (e.g., sensor networks, social networks and even text). A unique characteristic of these data is the coupling between data values and underlying irregular structure on which these values are defined. Thus, researchers developed Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to use deep learning approaches on these irregular network data. GNNs developers tried to replicate the recent success of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and developed its graph counterpart Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCNN) and more different variations of GNNs (e.g. EdgeNet). However, all these architectures are relatively young, and the impact of different parameters to classification result is not well researched compared to regular neural network architectures. To address this issue, we propose to use authorship attribution problem to research the impact of different architectures and their variations to classification accuracy and how GNNs can be used to improve on authorship attribution task compared to the baseline architectures. Explicitly, we define the dataset which is going to be used throughout the experiments and the method to convert text excerpts of authors into the network that can be classified with GNNs (called WAN). WAN is as a network that captures unique author fingerprint. We also define the set of GNN architectures (and different combinations and variations of them), baseline architecture (SVM) and experiments that are used with those architectures. This experiment setting allows us to compare different GNN architectures among themselves and the baseline architecture. Also, we define a method to reduce the dimensions of author fingerprints (WANs) and use these sparse author fingerprints for the same experiments with the same architectures. Numerical results show the improvement over the baseline architectures in nearly all defined experiments. Also, we found that more complex GNN architectures (e.g. EdgeNets) are superior to shallower architectures with more laborious experiments (e.g. classification by gender). More complex architectures also require hyperparameter re-tuning in order to achieve optimal results. Furthermore, experiments with sparse author fingerprints showed that we could achieve comparable results to standard fingerprints with faster training times and significantly reduced dimensions. GNN architectures used with sparse author fingerprints were usually superior to baseline architectures
The Authorship of Tomas Espedal
This thesis is centered around the norwegian author Tomas Espedal. The paper sets out to read Espedal’s novels as one text altogether with the same I, while exploring how the literary term autofiction supports this approach. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part of the thesis examines the genre autofiction. It shows examples of how autofiction is used as a genre for different generations of authors, and how it is popular to write this hybrid genre between autobiography and fiction. It illuminates a tendency to writeautofiction, discussing the ethical questions that arises when the written books become a mix of autobiography and fiction. This is further discussed in the third part. The second part of the paper probes how the I develops throughout the books, and how the author writes about the themes love and alcohol. Both themes are literary fuel to the author, both in his writing and in his performances. I choose to understand the paratexts - interviews and performances - as complementary dimensions of the same I that appears in the novels. As life and literature become fused, I argue that it is pointless to separate the two.In third part of the thesis, I show how writers write about each other and interact with each others’ lives and literary works. While the main focus is Tomas Espedal’s authorship, the thesis also discusses Karl Ove Knausgård’s works as well as upcoming authors and authors who made an impact in the danish public with their books. I use interviews, talks and tv-shows to let Tomas Espedal discuss his own writing. Finally, I discuss the ongoing challenges for autofiction and give my own suggestion to how the authorship may evolve in the future when the next books in the one great collected Tomas Espedal novel will be written. <br/

Newly attributed works of Tomas Podagaiskis
Darbo tikslas - remiantis stilistine analize ir žinomais kūriniais, naujai atributuoti kai kurias skulptūras iš Tytuvėnų, Šiluvos, Šaukoto ir Zapyškio bažnyčių, jų autoriumi įvardijant skulptorių Tomą Podgaiskį. Tomo Podgaiskio kūrybos analizė iliustruoja, kad, viena vertus, tam tikrų kūrinių autorystė gali būti įvardijama nesiremiant rašytiniais šaltiniais, kita vertus, rašytinių šaltinių buvimas nepanaikina tikrovės kaitos faktoriaus, todėl aklas jų kartojimas sukuria tikrovės iliuziją. Be anksčiau skulptoriui Tomui Podgaiskiui priskirtų Kauno arkikatedros, Šiluvos, atskirų Tytuvėnų ir Telšių altorių, į jo kūrybinę biografiją galime įrašyti du Tytuvėnų didžiojo altoriaus bei vieną Šiluvos medinį Nukryžiuotąjį, taip pat "Prisikėlusio Kristaus statulas" iš Šaukoto ir Zapyškio bažnyčių3''. Šie kūriniai teikia daugiau duomenų apie gipso darbais pagarsėjusio skulptoriaus Tomo Podgaiskio medžio drožybą. Galima spėti, kad skulptorius Tomas Podgaiskis dabartinės Lietuvos teritorijoje aktyviai kūrė iki pat 1798 metų. Nors absoliuti dauguma Podgaiskio kūrinių atribucijų (išskyrus Kauno arkikatedrą ir iš dalies Šiluvą) neparemta istoriniais šaltiniais, tačiau jo ryškus individualus plastinis braižas pats tapo autoriaus "parašu" ir savotišku šaltiniu, užpildančiu baltas biografijos dėmes. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Tomas Podgaiskis; Tomasz Podhayski; Dailės istorija; Skulptūros istorija; Kauno arkikatedra bazilika; Šaukotas; Šiluva; Telšiai; Tytuvėnai; Zapyškis; Nukryžiuotasis; Prisikėlęs Kristus; Krikščioniška ikonografija; Tomas Podgaiskis; Tomasz Podhayski; History of sculpture; Christian iconography; CrucifixThe article analyses the works of sculptor Tomas Podgaiskis (1741-after 1798) who worked in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania during the second half of the XVIII c. According to written sources it is known that he made the altar sculptures and the plastic decor in Kaunas Cathedral and Šiluva Basilica. Some researchers (Stasys Latonas) attributed to him separate altars in Tytuvėnai and Telšiai churches. This article for the first time identifies Tomas Podgaiskis as the author of individual wooden and plaster sculptures in the churches of Tytuvėnai (the two Crucifixes of the High altar), Šiluva (the Crucifix), Šaukotas and Zapyškis (the Resurrection). This is made on the basis of stylistic analysis and distinctive touch; respectively, the erroneous Tomas Podgaiskis authorship of the Crucifix of the High altar in Kaunas Cathedral is also denied. The newly attributed works not only complement the biography of Tomas Podagaiskis, but also enable one to claim that until 1798 he worked in the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The analysis of Tomas Podagaiskis' work illustrates that, on the one hand, the authorship of individual works may be determined without reference to written sources, while on the other hand, the existence of written sources does not eliminate the change of reality, therefore a blind following of the sources leads to the creation of the illusion
Low-loss and wideband acoustic delay lines
This paper demonstrates low-loss acoustic delay lines (ADLs) based on shear-horizontal waves in thin-film LiNbO 3 for the first time. Due to its high electromechanical coupling, the shear-horizontal mode is suited for producing devices with large bandwidths. Here, we show that shear-horizontal waves in LiNbO 3 thin films are also excellent for implementing low-loss ADLs based on unidirectional transducers. The high acoustic reflections and large transducer unidirectionality induced by the mechanical loading of the electrodes on a LiNbO 3 thin film provide a great tradeoff between delay line insertion loss and bandwidth. The directionality for two different types of unidirectional transducers has been characterized. Delay lines with variations in the key design parameters have been designed, fabricated, and measured. One of our fabricated devices has shown a group delay of 75 ns with an IL below 2 dB over a 3-dB bandwidth of 16 MHz centered at 160 MHz (fractional bandwidth = 10%). The measured insertion loss for other devices with longer delays and different numbers of transducer cells are analyzed, and the loss contributing factors and their possible mitigation are discussed.

I will try to underline the formal and thematic correspondences which link the prose of this text and some poems of the Swedish author (Nobel Prize 2011), in order to show both his literary method and the pattern of this work compositional lines
Novel as a genre in Tomas Espedal's work
The master thesis discusses novel as a geme. The first, theoretical part focuses on general characteristics ofthe studied geme, e.g. problems of defining the geme, theme and language constituting components, comparison with other genres as well as typology and history of novel. AH mentioned characteristics are afterwards supposed to work as a basis for the practical analysis of selected work of the Norwegian author Tomas Espedal. The analysis concentrates on answering the question if the studied works can be considered as a novel
