Funeral of politician Josef Gruber in Prague
No full textThe segment captures the funeral of Minister of Social Welfare Josef Gruber held in Prague on 7 May 1925. The flag of mourning is raised above the National Museum. The coffin with the late minister is carried out of the Pantheon of the National Museum. The funeral procession is led by university and church dignitaries. The procession continues across Wenceslaus Square to Charles Square, passing the building of the General Teaching Hospital on Vyšehradská Street. The segment ends with an image of Vyšehrad Cemetery and funeral wreaths by the cemetery arcades
The modern monarch: Empress Elisabeth and the visual culture of femininity, 1850-1900
No full textThis dissertation examines painted, photographic, and printed portraits of Empress Elisabeth of Austria (1837-1898) as sites for the visualization of modern women. A renowned beauty whose images were collected by individuals of every social class across the continent, Elisabeth was both a producer of culture and an instrument in the expression of larger political, psychological, and artistic forces. Pairing visual analysis with archival research, historical contextualization, and theoretical frameworks drawn from visual culture, photography, and the history of psychiatry, Elisabeth’s portraits emerge as active participants in the modernist project. Chapter 1 situates Elisabeth’s portraiture within the historiography of nineteenth-century modernism. Her simultaneously theatrical and self-protective beauty reveals how the phenomenon of celebrity influenced female portraiture. The second chapter examines how Habsburg artists appropriated Elisabeth’s photographic image to project their own vision of femininity. Inexpensive photolithographs of the imperial family integrate photographs of Elisabeth to create narratives of domestic bliss. I argue that photographic technology was central to the success of these images because the trace of Elisabeth’s body masked the reality of her difficult relationship with her Habsburg relatives and refusal to perform the public duties of empress. Chapter 3 explores how Elisabeth created her own construction of feminine beauty using carte-de-visite portraits of beautiful women she requested from her foreign ambassadors. Elisabeth’s beauty albums pair Parisian courtesans with reproduced paintings of the French Empress Eugénie, suggesting an equivalence between empress and entertainer; this sensibility is visualized in Elisabeth’s 1865 state portrait by Franz Xaver Winterhalter. The fourth chapter links portraits of Elisabeth by Winterhalter and Anton Romako to the visual culture of psychiatry. As a woman who struggled publicly with mental instability, I argue that Elisabeth’s portraits allowed artists to visualize mental illness as an alluring, modern disease. In identifying portraits of Elisabeth as sites for the development of modernism, this dissertation introduces a sphere of visual and political imagery typically excluded from examinations of avant-garde artwork in the nineteenth century. Additionally, this dissertation undermines the traditional narrative of Vienna 1900 as an abrupt break from the past by revealing mid-century roots for the celebrated art of Viennese modernism.Ph.

Control of the so called leaf loss of European beech (Faguss sylvatica L.) by the weather
No full textThe annual assessed leaf losses and recorded leaf masses of the beech trees are narrowly correlated with the local or regional climate resp. weather (Tab. 1, 3, 4). Due to the multiannual development of shoots and leaves on beech (Fig. 1) the weather/climate of several years during this development influences the leaf canopy and leaf loss of a stand. The multiannual weather index MAWI (KINDall) composed of the weather efficient monthly dates of local and regional precipitation, air temerature and sunshin duration (also global radiation, relative humidity, water saturation deficit) of four years can be roughly correlated (r(2) > 0,98) to the leaf mass and assessed leaf loss of a stand. Therefore laef mass and leaf loss is controlled by MAWI (Tab. 1, 3, 4; Fig 2, 4, 5). The high percentage of preformation of leaf mass and leaf loss during the developmental periods is strongly influenced by the weather data allows a prediction with high pricicion (Tab. 2, 5, 6; Fig. 3, 6, 7). The leaf loss of the stand Harste 78 is narrowly correlated to the multiannual transpiration stress factor (tsf), which is composed of the water saturation deficit of the air, the global radiation and the precipitation (r(2) = 0,8; s. Tab. 7, Fig. 8-10). The author points out on the great importance of the woods and the poor information about them and that the science of woods and forests must be expanded, long-term installed and better organized

On the enhancement of vehicle handling and energy efficiency of electric vehicles with multiple motors: the iCOMPOSE project
No full textElectric vehicles with multiple motors allow torque-vectoring, i.e., the individual control of each powertrain torque. Torque-vectoring (TV) can provide: i) enhancement of vehicle safety and handling, via the generation of a
direct yaw moment to shape the understeer characteristics and increase yaw and sideslip damping; and ii) energy consumption reductions, via appropriate torque
allocation to each motor. The FP7 European project iCOMPOSE thoroughly addressed i) and ii). Theoretical analyses were carried out to design state-of-the art TV controllers, which were validated through: a) vehicle simulations; and b)
extensive experimental tests, which were performed at rolling road facilities and proving grounds, using a Range Rover Evoque prototype equipped with four identical on-board electric powertrains. This paper provides an overview of the TV-related contributions of iCOMPOSE
