Seeing Through the Eyes of Maximilian and Bodmer: Review of \u3ci\u3eThe North American Journals of Prince Maximilian of Wied, Volume I: May 1832-April 1833.\u3c/i\u3e Edited by Stephen S. Witte and Marsha V. Gallagher.
No full textThe German prince Maximilian of WiedNeuwied (1782-1867) traveled up the Missouri River in 1832-33 to study American Indian culture before it was fatally compromised by the encroachment of Euro-American civilization. Aware of the expansionist and industrial dynamics of the Jacksonian Era in the United States, Maximilian wanted to study what he regarded as the vanishing Indian while there was still time. The idea had come to him during his 1815-17 journey through Brazil. For the publication that followed, Reise nach Brasilien in den Jahren 1815 his 1817 (1820), Maximilian had provided his own illustrations. These were criticized, including by his artistically talented siblings. When he ventured to North America in 1832, Maximilian wisely brought with him a professional illustrator, the Swiss-born Karl Bodmer (1809-93). What Maximilian wanted was a body of illustrations of such precision that they would exhibit what we would call photographic fidelity and detail. He got that. What he could not have anticipated is that Bodmer would produce some of the finest art of the Missouri River bioregion and its inhabitants.
Heretical though it may seem in some quarters, the Maximilian-Bodmer expedition is in important respects more satisfying than the journals of Lewis and Clark. Thanks to the painstaking editorial work of Witte and Gallagher, we now, finally, 175 years after the fact, have the opportunity to explore Maximilian\u27s journals comprehensively. What we discover there is a man of deep human sympathies, a brilliant observer of landscapes and peoples, an Enlightenment exemplar whose encyclopedic field notes were undistorted by America\u27s imperial mission

Review of \u3ci\u3eThe North American Journals of Prince Maximilian of Wied, Volume 2: April-September 1833\u3c/i\u3e edited by Stephen S. Witte and Marsha V. Gallagher
No full textThe travel accounts of Prince Maximilian of Wied have long been considered one of the finest early scientific and ethnographic descriptions of North American landscapes. Maximilian journeyed with the Swiss painter Karl Bodmer through the United States in 1832-34 to study its natural environments and Indigenous peoples. His keen observations were published in German in 1839-41, were translated into other languages in the following years, and have been harvested ever since for their factual information. Maximilian\u27s publication, however, left out a good portion of his original observations.
With this, the second of three volumes of Maximilian\u27s journals, Stephen S. Witte and Marsha V. Gallagher continue the monumental task of publishing annotated translations of a compilation of notes and data the prince used for the creation of his travel accounts. As the editors remarked in the first volume, published in 2008, such an undertaking was long overdue. Readers will be delighted to see a continuation of this project, further closing important gaps in our understanding of Prince Maximilian\u27s America as seen through his copious notes and illustrations

Een simulatiestudie naar verbetering van de congestieproblematiek in de Witte de Withstraat (Rotterdam)
No full textDe Witte de Withstraat is een belangrijke straat in Rotterdam. Er zijn veel winkels, galerieën en horecagelegenheden gevestigd. Deze ondernemers dienen allemaal bevoorraad te worden, wat veel logistieke handelingen oplevert in de straat. Naast de grote logistieke stroom rijdt er veel regulier verkeer door de straat. De combinatie van deze twee verkeersstromen zorgt vaak voor filevorming en vertraging. Naar aanleiding van een onderzoek van de HogeschoolRotterdam is het vermoeden versterkt dat de filevorming verband houdt met de enige aanwezige los-/laadplek in de straat.In dit artikel wordt de relatie tussen de enige los-/laadplek en de filevorming in de Witte de Withstraat op kwantitatieve wijze onderzocht. De methode die hiervoor wordt gebruikt, is discrete simulatie met modelvorming in het softwareprogramma Simio. Het huidige systeem van de straat wordt in dit programma gesimuleerd. Aan de hand van vier experimenten worden verscheidene scenario’s uitgevoerd om de relatie tussen de los-/laadplek en defilevorming nader te onderzoeken.Transport and Logistic
Een witte- en een bandbegrensde-ruisgenerator voor simulaties van G.P.S.-signaalbewerkingen
No full textIn dit verslag worden twee mogelijke ruisgeneratoren beschreven voor simulaties van G.P.S.-signaalbewerkingen, namelijk voor bandbegrensde en witte ruis. In de literatuur is onder andere naar de volgende criteria gezocht: de amplitudeverdeling, het vermogensdichtheidsspectrum en de autocorrelatiefunctie. De twee generatoren worden aan de hand hiervan getest.Applied SciencesElectrotechniekTelecommunicatie- en Verkeersbegeleidingssysteme

Koncepcje ustrojowo-prawne oraz ekonomiczne Siergieja Juliewicza Witte
