Notes on Peter Karpovich for admission to Springfield College, c. 1925
No full textThese are notes on Peter V. Karpovich that were created, mostly likely, as part of his admissions process to Springfield College, c. 1925. The author or writer of these pages is not identified. Nor is it identified as to how, whether in a meeting or an interview or just from reading information, these notes were created. The notes are written in abreviations and in short fragments. The notes basically outline facts about his life, including age, family, education history, medical practice, present living arrangements, experience with the Young Men's Christian Associaation (YMCA), and experience in teaching Physical Education. Finally they also talk about his arrival in the United States, his desires for work/education at Springfield College., and his prospects of returning to Russia after his degree.For more information on Peter V. Karpovich, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/57
Australian copyright regimes and political economy of music
No full textIn this chapter I review the history of in Australia through a singular and exemplary ruling of the Australian High Court made in 2012 and then relate that to the declining fortunes of Australian recorded music professionals. The case in point is Phonographic Performance Company [PPCA] of Australia Limited v Commonwealth of Australia [2012] HCA 8 (hereafter, HCA 8 2012). The case encapsulates the history of copyright law in Australia, with the judicial decision drawing substantive parts of its rationale from the Statute of Anne (8 Anne, c. 19, 1710), as well as acts that regulated the Australian markets prior to 1968. More importantly the High Court decision serves to delineate some important political economic aspects of the recorded music professional in Australia and demonstrates Attali's (1985) assertion that copyright is the mechanism through which composers are, by statute, literally excluded from capitalistic engagement as 'productive labour'. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.

The developmental impact of prenatal stress, prenatal dexamethasone and postnatal social stress on physiology, behaviour and neuroanatomy of primate offspring: studies in rhesus macaque and common marmoset
No full textRATIONALE: Exposure of the immature mammalian brain to stress factors, including stress levels of glucocorticoids, either prenatally or postnatally, is regarded as a major regulatory factor in short- and long-term brain function and, in human, as a major aetiological factor in neuropsychiatric disorders. Experimental human studies are not feasible and animal studies are required to demonstrate causality and elucidate mechanisms. A number of studies have been conducted and reviewed in rodents but there are relatively few studies in primates. OBJECTIVES: Here we present an overview of our published studies and some original data on the effects of: (1) prenatal stress on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) re/activity and hippocampus neuroanatomy in juvenile-adolescent rhesus macaques; (2) prenatal dexamethasone (DEX) on HPA activity, behaviour and prefrontal cortex neuroanatomy in infant-adolescent common marmosets; (3) postnatal daily parental separation stress on HPA re/activity, behaviour, sleep and hippocampus and prefrontal cortex neuroanatomy in infant-adolescent common marmoset. RESULTS: Prenatal stress increased basal cortisol levels and reduced neurogenesis in macaque. Prenatal DEX was without effect on HPA activity and reduced social play and skilled motor behaviour in marmoset. Postnatal social stress increased basal cortisol levels, reduced social play, increased awakening and reduced hippocampal glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptor expression in marmoset. CONCLUSIONS: Perinatal stress-related environmental events exert short- and long-term effects on HPA function, behaviour and brain status in rhesus macaque and common marmoset. The mechanisms mediating the enduring effects remain to be elucidated, with candidates including increased basal HPA function and epigenetic programming
From Floor to Sky -The Experience of Art School and the teaching of Peter Kardia
No full textImages of my work with text is included in a section of this colour hardback format book with introduction by Roderick Coyne and essays by Peter Kardia , Malcolm Le Grice , Hester Westley and sections on 25 artists.
Peter Kardia is widely recognised as a radical and influential teacher at both Saint Martins and the Royal College during the 60s and 70s. From the long list of Peter Kardia's ex-students 25 well-known artists have been invited to participate in an exhibition at the P3 gallery (www.p3exhibitions.com) in March 2010, as a sort of potted retrospective of both their work and Peter's teaching.
They are asked to show a piece of work from their student or graduation days, as well as a current piece, collectively providing a body of work that will show the range of British sculpture from the last 30 years.
The book acts as a catalogue for the exhibition, but is also intended to work as a stand-alone production and extends a little further to include approx. 4 images per artist, including one from both degree show and current times.
About the Author(s) Peter Kardia is widely recognised as a radical and influential teacher at both Saint Martins and the Royal College during the 60s and 70s, and his essay on how we should be approaching art and education is central to the book. Hester Wesley has researched and written on Peter's influence on art education and his teaching at Saint Martins and the Royal College, placing it into wider context of art education generally. The last essay is by Malcolm Le Grice (art historian) on the influence of the art teacher and art schools in history on the artist
Distributional Reinforcement Learning for Flight Control: A risk-sensitive approach to aircraft attitude control using Distributional RL
No full textWith the recent increase in the complexity of aerospace systems and autonomous operations, there is a need for an increased level of adaptability and model-free controller synthesis. Such operations require the controller to maintain safety and performance without human intervention in non-static environments with partial observability and uncertainty. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithms have the potential to increase the safety and autonomy of aerospace control systems. It has been shown that the soft actor-critic (SAC) algorithm can achieve robust control of a CS-25 certified aircraft and has the generalization power to react to failure scenarios. Traditional DRL approaches, such as the state-of-the-art SAC algorithm struggle with inconsistent learning in high-dimensional tasks and fall short of modelling uncertainty and risk in the environment. In contrast, distributional RL algorithms estimate the entire probability distribution of rewards, improve the learning characteristics and enable the synthesis of risk- sensitive policies. This paper demonstrates the improved learning characteristics of distributional soft actor-critic (DSAC) compared to traditional SAC and discusses the benefits of risk-sensitive learning applied to flight control. We show that the addition of distributional critics significantly improves learning consistency, and successfully approximates the uncertainty when applied to a fully-coupled attitude control task of a jet aircraft.Public code repository https://github.com/peter-seres/dsac-flightAerospace Engineerin
ANÁLISE DOS PRINCIPAIS ELEMENTOS DE PEARCE II (1982) PRESENTES NAS MISSÕES ORGANIZACIONAIS DAS UNIVERSIDADES PÚBLICAS DO BRASIL
No full textO presente trabalho objetiva identificar e analisar os elementos propostos por Pearce II (1982) presentes nas missões das universidades públicas do Brasil. Para tanto, foram selecionadas no website do Ministério da Educação e Cultura (MEC) 97 universidades para compor a população do estudo. Mas, a amostra restringe-se a 70 universidades, uma vez que 27 não divulgam ou divulgaram suas missões em seus endereços eletrônicos. Com o propósito de avaliar os itens presentes nas declarações das missões das universidades públicas brasileiras, foram destacados os elementos presentes nas frases coletadas e em seguida analisados conforme o modelo proposto por Pearce II (1982). Para Pearce II (1982), uma missão deve conter oito elementos básicos, para se tornar uma ferramenta eficiente de planejamento estratégico. Os resultados apontam que os principais elementos presentes nas missões das universidades públicas brasileiras são produtos ou serviços, domínio geográfico, valores e a filosofia da organização. Quanto à efetividade, a maioria das universidades analisada possuem apenas 2 dos 8 elementos propostos por Pearce II (1982). Dessa maneira, conclui-se que, apesar da sua importância estratégica, as definições de missão organizacional das universidades públicas examinadas não são efetivas
