No full textDiasporic narratives and migrant memories in 'The Teak Almirah' by Indian Jewish author Jael Silliman
No full textDiasporic literature posits itself as a space of vision in which to prompt ruptures, go beyond prescriptive and proscriptive limits, and imagine new ways to identify and belong (Parmar 2016). This is what makes the novels by Jael Silliman worth reading and apprehending in the contested and complex scenario of contemporary Indian literatures in English, further allowing an analysis of the role of English in constructing historically complex communities of readers in a transnational and transcultural perspective. At the crossroads of literature, anthropology and history, Silliman’s novel The Teak Almirah (2016) evokes times and places of colonial India, re-casting them in a new performance where both the characters and the readers are compelled to follow the shadows, the rumours, the hints and the traces that are defined an emotional geography and a “cartography of diaspora” (Brah 1996)
Special issue on Terra Matta
No full textIn 2007 Einaudi published a book entitled Terra matta, by an unknown Sicilian author, Vincenzo Rabito, which would rapidly become a bestseller. In 2012 a film derived from the book, Terramatta; Il Novecento italiano di Vincenzo Rabito analfabeta siciliano, was presented at the Venice Film Festival to great acclaim. In introducing our analyses of that cultural phenomenon, I describe the nature of the typescript and set it in the context of other writings by Italy's diversamente colti. I chart the passage from typescript to book to film and outline the interventions – explored in detail by the protagonists in the contributions that follow – shaping its successive incarnations
Serving temperature viscosity measurements of nectar and honey-thick liquids
No full textThis study reports the viscosity (thickness) of nectar- and honey-thick liquids measured at a typical serving temperature. Centipoise (cP) measurements were compared for three products (two starch and one gum-based thickener) mixed with five beverages that set for three time intervals (manufacturer recommended time to thicken, 10 and 30 minutes). The serving temperature of the cold beverages was 4º C (water, apple juice, orange juice, and milk), and the hot beverage (coffee) was measured at 70º C. Statistical analysis showed that all factors interacted with one another, meaning that the viscosity of a nectar- or honey-like liquid varies greatly depending on the type of thickening agent and beverage combination in relation to the amount of time its thickens. Simply Thick, the gum-based thickener, typically produced samples that were the least viscous but they maintained a more consistent level of thickness over time. Serving temperature results are contrasted with viscosity measurements collected at room temperature, showing variable thickening patterns especially related to the type of thickening agent
ntervention as a mode of artistic implementation: Analysis of Gordon Matta-Clark's Day's End
No full textilustracionesEn esta investigación se analiza una parte de la obra artística de Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978) y su impacto disruptivo en el ámbito artístico. El objetivo principal es examinar el uso de la intervención en el arte contemporáneo y el discurso teórico de este artista, quien es reconocido por su combinación de teoría y práctica artística. Se busca comprender las referencias históricas de la intervención artística y el uso del espacio urbano en su obra, a través de investigaciones acerca de la obra de este artista, textos escritos por el propio artista, así como estudios posteriores a su muerte, videos y fotografías. También se examina el método utilizado por Matta-Clark para intervenir en el espacio urbano, así como las herramientas teóricas y conceptuales presentes en su obra Day's End (1975). Se busca establecer una relación entre los procesos analizados en su obra y la producción artística contemporánea. Esta investigación resalta la relevancia de las prácticas de Matta-Clark y sus implicaciones en el arte actual. De igual forma, este análisis es un basamento para la creación de la serie Relleno del autor de este trabajo de titulación.This research analyzes a part of the artistic work of Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978) and its disruptive impact on the artistic field. The main objective is to examine the use of intervention in contemporary art and the theoretical discourse of this artist, who is recognized for his combination of theory and artistic practice. It seeks to understand the historical references of artistic intervention and the use of urban space in his work, through research on the work of this artist, texts written by the artist himself, as well as studies after his death., videos and photographs. The method used by Matta-Clark to intervene in urban space is also examined, as well as the theoretical and conceptual tools present in his work Day's End (1975). It seeks to establish a relationship between the processes analyzed in his work and contemporary artistic production. This research highlights the relevance of Matta-Clark's practices and his implications for contemporary art. In the same way, this analysis is a foundation for the creation of the Relleno series of the author of this degree project
Energy Saving Opportunities and Value of Information: A Trade-off in a Production Line
No full textAbstractA general framework for switching the machine off/on has been recently proposed in literature for single machines. However, the amount of information available along the production system is often limited and it might be not trivial to understand which information provides more benefits. This paper studies the performance of a production line when several control policies are applied at machine level. The amount of information at machine level varies and the trade-off with energy reduction is investigated. The considered performance measures are the energy consumed per part and the system throughput. Numerical results are based on discrete event simulation
Barrio Matta Sur, Chile: Un Modelo de Transformación Urbana Sostenible /
No full text6.7 MB : 87 páginas ; imagenesEsta investigación está dirigida a resaltar la importancia de intervenir zonas urbanas obsoletas y
deterioradas para revitalizarlas y contribuir con el desarrollo de las ciudades. La investigación se
realiza sobra la línea de “Revitalización Urbana” y un enfoque de “Ciudad sostenible” abordando
conceptos encontrados en proyectos emplazados tanto fuera de Latinoamérica como dentro de
ella, entendiendo el impacto de la inactividad económica de un barrio completo en el contexto
del barrio Matta Sur (comuna de Santiago), específicamente en la ciudad de Santiago de Chile.
El proyecto se desarrolla analizando el sitio a partir de un estudio, a modo de diagnóstico, del
entorno urbano comprendido por aspectos concernientes a la población, a los equipamientos
actuales y a la movilidad y conectividad, lo cual evidenció el deterioro social y espacial que
presentaba el barrio a causa de la ausencia de espacios y actividades convocantes. La
elaboración de una tabla de resultados (llámese matriz DOFA) y su explicación gráfica
complementa la investigación al permitir el planteamiento de estrategias de diseño y, finalmente,
una propuesta urbana sostenible cuyo objetivo sería la revitalización de barrio Matta Sur.
El trabajo.This research is aimed at highlighting the importance of obsolete and deteriorated urban areas to
revitalize them and contribute to the development of cities. The research is carried out on the
“Urban Revitalization” line and a “Sustainable City” approach, addressing concepts found in
projects located both outside and within Latin America, understanding the impact of the
economic inactivity of a complete neighborhood in the context of Matta Sur neighborhood
(commune of Santiago), specifically in the city of Santiago de Chile. The project is developed by
analyzing the site from a study, a diagnostic mode, the urban environment comprised of aspects
of concern to the population, current equipment and mobility and connectivity, which
demonstrates the social and spatial development that neighborhood presents cause of the absence
of spaces and convening activities. The elaboration of a table of results (call DOFA matrix) and
its graphic explanation would complement the investigation by allowing the design strategies
approach and, finally, a sustainable urban proposal whose objective would be the revitalization
of the Matta Sur neighborhood.

The Comparative Study of Earthquake Memory and Transference -Case Studies of Turkey, Taiwan and Indonesia-
No full text過去に発生した自然災害の被災の記憶を忘却させずにとどめるともに，それにより得た教訓を将来の防災対策に活かすための取り組みが，近年，世界各国で進められている。その一方で，そこで扱われる被災の記憶とはどのような記憶であり，それが，どのように継承されているのか，各地域性を踏まえたうえでの分析はあまり行われていない。本研究は記憶に焦点を当て，過去10年に大きな地震災害を経験したトルコ，台湾，インドネシアという異なる地域の人々が，どのような被災の記憶をとどめようとしているのかを，現地調査に基づき把握し，その結果を比較検討するものである。The memories of past disaster experiences tend to fade out quickly. Survivors do not want to keep horrible memories, and try to forget it. Although the transference of lessons learnt through past disaster experience is considered as one of ways to motivate people to take disaster preventive action, the mechanism of how the personal memory form collective memory and transfer to other generation/region is still not clear. In this study, we focus on the memory of earthquake disaster in different region, Turkey, Taiwan and Indonesia. Through field studies we try to find out what kind of memory do people talk as personal memory, and how those personal memory form collective memory and will be transferred.過去に発生した自然災害の被災の記憶を忘却させずにとどめるともに，それにより得た教訓を将来の防災対策に活かすための取り組みが，近年，世界各国で進められている。その一方で，そこで扱われる被災の記憶とはどのような記憶であり，それが，どのように継承されているのか，各地域性を踏まえたうえでの分析はあまり行われていない。本研究は記憶に焦点を当て，過去10年に大きな地震災害を経験したトルコ，台湾，インドネシアという異なる地域の人々が，どのような被災の記憶をとどめようとしているのかを，現地調査に基づき把握し，その結果を比較検討するものである。The memories of past disaster experiences tend to fade out quickly.
