Opera for all: the biography of Sir Peter Jonas
No full textFollowing successful publication in Germany, this is the first English-language edition of Julia Glesner’s acclaimed biography of Sir Peter Jonas.
Sir Peter Jonas, with boundless energy and a rare artistic eye, had a profound effect on opera the world over. He was the revered head of two of Europe’s leading opera houses.
In the two years before his death in April 2020, Julia Glesner enjoyed remarkable access to Sir Peter. “Write quickly,” he advised

Oper für alle : die Biografie von Sir Peter Jonas
No full textEr war nicht nur ein Opernstar, sondern einer der schillerndsten Zeitgenossen: Sir Peter Jonas, eine eindrucksvolle Persönlichkeit, elegant, spleenig, humorvoll. Mit einer Familiengeschichte, die exemplarisch für die Wirren des 20. Jahrhunderts steht. Seine Mutter stammte aus dem Libanon, sein Vater aus einer jüdischen Familie aus Hamburg. Er selber wuchs in England auf, schaffte es mit Disziplin und britischer Coolness an die besten Opernhäuser der Welt, arbeitete mit Sir Georg Solti und Daniel Barenboim zusammen. 1993 wurde er Intendant der Bayerischen Staatsoper München, wo er für seine Inszenierungen einerseits in den Himmel gehoben, andererseits in Grund und Boden verdammt wurde. 1999 adelte ihn die Queen.
Sein Hauptanliegen war es, Hochkultur zugänglich zu machen. Sein Projekt »Oper für alle«, bei dem er Aufführungen auf den Max-Joseph-Platz übertrug, wurde für viele Städte modellhaft.
Im April 2020, im Alter von 73 Jahren, erlag Sir Peter Jonas dem Krebs. In den zwei Jahren vor seinem Tod führte er zahlreiche Gespräche mit der Autorin Julia Glesner. »Schreiben Sie schnell«, bat er, ehe er ihr Einblick in sein atemberaubendes Leben gewährte
An adaptive receiver for a digital radio-telephone network
No full textThis thesis is part of the study, design and prototype implementation of a low cost capacity automatic digital radio-telephone Network (RTN) for rural communications and is primarily concerned with the study and investigation of the physical layer aspects of the RTN namely demodulation and radio propagation. We investigate demodulation schemes possible for PI/4 DQPSK modulation and compare them based on hardware requirements and performance degradation due to bandlimiting, frequency uncertainty, and timing uncertainty. We also consider receiver operation in both Additive White Gaussain Noise (AWGN) and in multipath channels in order to recommend a suitable demodulation and equalisation scheme for RTN.This study first shows that in AWGN the Limiter Discriminator Integrator Detector (LDID) using a standard FM receiver and a simple moving averager is a cost effective solution. However, in time dispersive channels the LDID requires equalisation at IF which has hardware implications unless the LDID is operated at a high signal-to-noise ratio of atleast 15dB Eb/No. The study thus recommends PI/4 DQPSK non-coherent differential detection with baseband equalisation in hilly areas. Due to the RTN protocol requirements, a fast time delay and complex channel impulse response (CCIR) estimation along with a low complexity equalisation technique is required. We demonstrate a simple but very effective equalisation strategy.A novel equaliser filter taps strategy is presented in this thesis. The channel estimate gives an indication of the computational load requirement for the equalisation. Then, even for channels with precursors down 15dB, the equaliser filter taps are derived from the channel estimate by truncating the impulse response of the inverse channel.</p

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
