Timo de Rijk: 'We plant the seed'; interview
No full textArt historian Timo de Rijk was appointed Professor of Design, Culture and Society in Delft and Leiden last September. He calls this combination ‘a real breakthrough’. ‘Leiden University studies the workings of culture, while TU Delft aims at creating new things. These are fundamentally different approaches.

Pilot-Symbols-Aided Carrier-Phase Recovery for 100-G PM-QPSK Digital Coherent Receivers
No full textA feedforward pilot-symbols-aided carrier-phase recovery scheme is described. The approach relies on pilot symbols that are time-division multiplexed with the transmitted data. In the scheme, an initial coarse estimation of the optical carrier phase, exploiting the knowledge of pilot symbols, is followed by a fine nondata-aided, or blind, estimation. The main
advantage of the proposed solution is that of avoiding the phaseambiguity
problem after a cycle slip. The overhead and the impact on the performance of pilot symbols are investigated for long-haul transmission of 100-Gb/s polarization-multiplexed quadrature phase-shift keying wavelength-division-multiplexing signals in different scenarios. For homogeneous transmission,
the proposed scheme outperforms blind carrier recovery with differential decoding
Educación Artística Comunitaria en Finlandia: entrevista a Timo Jokela
No full textEste artículo presenta un estudio sobre la educación artística comunitaria en la Universidad de Laponia en Finlandia. En primer lugar se analizan las líneas principales de este modelo formativo y de su plan de estudios. En segundo lugar se presenta una entrevista con Timo Jokela, Decano de la Facultad de Arte y Diseño de la Universidad de Laponia y director del Departamento de Educación Artística en esa misma Facultad. En la entrevista Timo Jokela habla de las relaciones entre arte, medio ambiente, comunidad y educación partiendo de su propia experiencia como artista y centrado en el contexto finlandés. También sobre los aspectos sociales, culturales, artísticos y educativos que están implícitos en el modelo de educación artística comunitaria que se pone en práctica, como itinerario formativo, en la Universidad de Laponia.
This article presents a study on community-based art education at the University of Lapland in Finland. First, the main guidelines of this training model and its curriculum are analysed. Second, the author includes an interview with Timo Jokela, Dean of the Faculty of Art and Design of The University of Lapland in Finland and Director of the Department of Art Education at the same faculty. In the interview Timo Jokela draws upon his own experience as an artist in Finland to talk about the relationships between art, the environment, community and education. He also talks about the social, cultural, artistic and educational aspects, which are central to the community-based art education scheme in place at The University of Lapland

Ei-ladattavan hybridiauton esilämmitys : vaikutukset järjestelmän toimintakykyyn
No full textTämän opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena oli tutkia ja selvittää sähköisen esilämmityksen vaikutuksia hybridijärjestelmän toimintaan. Työssä tarkasteltiin erityisesti vaikutuksia matkaan joka ajettiin pelkästään käyttämällä sähköä auton hybridiakustosta. Samalla seurattiin auton polttoaineen keskikulutuksen muutoksia. Nämä vaikutukset saatiin parhaiten näkyviin, ajamalla samoja reittejä esilämmitetyllä ja ilman esilämmitystä olevalla autolla sekä vertailemalla näistä saatuja tuloksia.
Työssä käytettävä hybridiauto on tekijän omistuksessa ja omassa käytössä. Autoa käytetään pääsääntöisesti taajamaliikenteessä, mutta myös maantie- ja moottoritienopeuksissa. Ajaminen koostuu tekijän normaalista auton käytöstä. Työhön kuuluu kolme eri vaihetta. Ensimmäisessä vaiheessa autoa esilämmitettiin ennen jokaista kotona suoritettua liikkeellelähtöä, työn tekemisen aikana voimassa olleiden suosituksien mukaisesti. Toisessa vaiheessa autoa ei esilämmitetty ennen ajoon lähtöä. Kolmannessa vaiheessa tulokset kirjattiin muistiin ja analysoitiin.
Hybridijärjestelmän käyttö vähentää polttoaineen kulutusta ja päästöjä verrattuna pelkästään polttomoottorilla varustettuun autoon. Auton esilämmitys parantaa sekä ajoturvallisuutta että mukavuutta, kun lämpötila on pakkasella tai lähellä nollaa. Esilämmitetty moottori saavuttaa nopeammin normaalin käyntilämpötilan verrattuna moottoriin, jota ei ole esilämmitetty ennen ajoon lähtöä. Kun moottori käy normaalilla käyntilämpötilallaan, päästöt ja polttoaineen kulutus pienentyvät verrattuna kylmänä käyvään moottoriin. Myös käynnistyksen päästöjä saadaan pienennettyä esilämmityksellä.
Autolla on ajettu pääsääntöisesti lyhyitä matkoja, jolloin järjestelmän polttomoottori ei ole saavuttanut normaalia käyntilämpötilaansa. Työn tuloksena havaittiin, että esilämmitys vaikuttaa myönteisesti hybridijärjestelmän kykyyn käyttää pelkästään sähkömoottoria auton liikuttamiseen. Tämä tulos on ennakko-odotusten mukainen.The purpose of the thesis was to study the effects of electronic preheating on the operation of a hybrid system. The impact of the trip, which was driven by using only electricity from the car hybrid battery, was specifically examined in this thesis. At the same time, changes in the average fuel consumption of the car were tracked. The effects were best noticed driving the same routes with a preheated car and the car without preheating, and comparing the results.
The hybrid car used in the work is owned and used by the author. The car is mainly used in urban area but also at highway speeds. Driving consists of the author´s normal car use. The work involved three different phases. In the first phase, the car was preheated before each start-up at home, in accordance with the recommendations in force at the time of the work. In the second phase, the car was not preheated before start-ups. In the third phase, the results were reported and analyzed.
Using a hybrid system in a car reduces fuel consumption and emissions compared to a car with an internal combustion engine only. Car preheating improves both driving safely and comfort when the temperature is low or near zero degrees. A preheated engine reaches faster its normal operating temperature compared to an engine that has not been preheated before driving. When the engine is running at its normal operating temperature, emissions and fuel consumption are reduced compared to a cold engine. Start-up emissions can also be reduced by preheating.
The car has been mainly driven for short distances, whereupon the internal combustion engine of the system has not reached its normal operating temperature. The study shows that preheating has a positive effect on the ability of the hybrid system to use only an electric motor to move the car. This result is in line with the expectations
