Including design in e-manufacturing
No full textThis paper reviews major issues in the implementation of e-manufacturing, particularly the design aspects. It will examine recent progress, drawing out particular issues that are being addressed. Use will be made of the work by the author and colleagues to devise rule-based design and Internet-based control of machines to illustrate how these developments affect the integrated e-manufacturing environment. A dynamic Simulink model of the way e-manufacture is affected by overall design delays is used to evaluate general solutions for partial and complete e-based companies. These models show how changing to improved designs reduces WI
The real life of Anthony Burgess
No full textAnthony Burgess has always attracted acclaim and notoriety in roughly equal measure. He is admired for his literary novels, but known to a wider audience as the author of the ultra-violent shocker, A Clockwork Orange. Burgess was a brilliant polymath, a composer, and a man for whom chaos and creativity, fact and fiction, existed in a complex and unique balance. Drawing on his fraught relationships with publishers, friends and his first wife, as expressed in interviews, unpublished writings, letters and diaries, The Real Life of Anthony Burgess reveals both the professional writer and the private man as he has never been seen before
Nobel Laureate Anthony J Leggett: A scientometric portrait
No full textThis paper attempts to analyse the publication productivity of Anthony J. Leggett, the 2003 Nobel Prize winner in physics. His contributions peaked in 1987, 1994, and 1998 with 10 papers each. He had 194 publications during 1964 - 2004 in domains like Superfluid 3He (65), Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (36), Dissipative Quantum Systems (24), Atomic Alkali Gases (18), and Miscellaneous (51)which were analysed for authorship pattern with his 70 collaborators.

La costruzione della devozione a sant’Antonio attraverso i sermoni del Tre e Quattrocento
No full textThe phenomena linked to saint Anthony of Padua has been the subject of
many studies over the years. However, just a restricted number of studies has tried to go
back to the roots of devotion to the saint during the centuries immediately following the
canonization to see how it spread and developped. The paper aims to investigate the
occurrence of a particular aspect of devotion to saint Anthony: the one seeing and
preaching him as the holy maker of miracles and the saint of Padua. Passing through
selected sermons dedicated to the saint during the medieval age the author highlights the
chronological and devotional passage leading St. Anthony to be not only the learned
preaching saint but also a more and more popular one, the same image still persisting in
today mass culture
Vivaldi's Four Seasons and the Globalization of Musical Taste
No full text"Vivaldi's Four Seasons, or at least parts of it, can be recognised by enormous numbers of people on this planet, and its sounds seem to come from almost every elevator shaft, mobile phone, restaurant and television advert in the world. It stands as the very epitome of a globalized artwork, and therefore it would be reasonable to suppose that globalization theories would be a great help in explaining its success. That this may not be the case is one of the main points of this paper -�� but before we get to that, there are two matters that have to be set in place. The first is to define the characteristics of the Four Seasons as a global commodity (note that I refer to it in the singular, since the four individual pieces come as a package); the second is to describe the main tenets of globalization theories and some of their chief generating ideas. Trying to map the characteristics of the work onto the assertions of the theories will be the main business of this paper, and this process is designed not only to illuminate the work, but also to test the theories."

Blissful violence ambiguity in Stanley Kubrick's a clockwork orange
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Gradução em Letras/Ingrês e Literatura Correspondente.Analise da construção da ambigüidade na narrativa do filme Laranja Mecânica, de Stanley Kubrick (1971). Investiga a relação identificação-afastamento que o filme promove entre o protagonista e o espectador, assim como o modo peculiar como o filme trata a violência. Observa um movimento em direção à ambigüidade que se desenvolve ao longo da obra do diretor, iniciando com estruturas e personagens mais tradicionais, abandonando gradualmente as posições morais seguras. Três filmes são também discutidos como uma amostra da obra do diretor, de modo a traçar a evolução de seu estilo e sua visão de mundo: Dr. Fantástico ou Como Aprendi a Parar de me Preocupar e Amar a Bomba (1963), 2001- Uma Odisséia no Espaço (1968) e De Olhos Bem Fechados (1999)
Music in words : the music of Anthony Burgess, and the role of music in his literature
No full textTheý principal focus of the thesis is Anthony Burgess, a prolific novelist whose first and
enduring creative passion was music in general and composition in particular. Burgess
criticism is limited and largely out-of-date, showing little recognition of the aural or musical
elements in his fiction, and virtually no specialist commentary on the music and its
relationships with the literature. The main aim of the thesis, therefore, is to demonstrate the
variety and strength of the widespread musical elements in Burgess's literature, including the
importance he attaches to the sonic basis of language, and to show that these are supported by
the musical sensibility and technical competence evident in his. compositions. It is suggested
that in the inevitable reassessmenot f his work following his death in 1993, the effects of his
musicianship on his literary work should play a greater part than hitherto, and the thesis makes
a contribution to this reassessmenbt oth through its original critical commentaries on his music
and through the music-orientated discussion of his literature.
After an introduction and literature review, the first chapter examines three examples of
Burgess's little-known music. All are associated with verbal texts, though the range is
otherwise wide, and through them it is possible to draw conclusions about the competence of
his handling of musical language and structure. The second and third chapters examine the
more familiar work of Burgess the acclaimed author, but from the unfamiliar viewpoint of its
musical content, including not only surface references but also hidden allusions and technical
puzzles aimed at the musician reader. Two instances of music serving as a structural template
for literature are analysed in detail, and attention is also drawn to Burgess's awareness of
musical elements in the content and language of the, work of some. of his predecessors. The
final core-chapter,e xamines the fusion of Burgess's literary and,m usical skills in the context of
his music and words for stage and radio.
What emerges is the clear intermeshing of his parallel careers;, and the production within his
distinctive literary output of work which, due to the radical extent of its musicalisation, has to
be viewed as musically-aware literature for specialised readers, at times evincing, it is
proposed, a logic which springs primarily from music

ABBA ABBA (1977): Anthony Burgess e il mito di John Keats
No full textRiassunto: Pubblicato nel 1977, ABBA ABBA di Anthony Burgess è incentrato sull’incontro di due poeti emblematici di inizio Ottocento: John Keats e Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli. L’opera rivela l’interesse dell’autore per il movimento neoclassico e romantico, nei riferimenti a personalità come Canova, Byron e Paolina Bonaparte. Ne deriva un affresco sui generis della cultura romantica che rimanda incessantemente alla produzione di Keats, e al suo soggiorno romano in punto di morte. Partendo dall’analisi della tecnica narrativa, lo studio si propone di investigare i modi in cui Burgess è riuscito a tramutare gli ultimi eventi della biografia keatsiana in un compatto e scintillante spaccato del tardo romanticismo stesso.Parole chiave: Anthony Burgess, ABBA ABBA, John Keats, Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli, Ode a un usignolo, Ode su un’urna greca, sonetto, Roma ottocentescaAbstract: Published in 1977, Anthony Burgess’s ABBA ABBA focuses on the imaginary meeting between two emblematic nineteenth-century poets: John Keats and Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli. The novel reveals the author’s passion for Neoclassicism and Romanticism, testified by the many references to personalities such as Antonio Canova, Lord Byron and Paolina Bonaparte. By examining the narrative technique employed by Burgess in evoking the lucid desperation of the young English poet, the essay aims to investigate the ways in which the author managed to translate the last events of Keats’s biography into a compact and sparkling reconstruction of late Romanticism itself.Key words: Anthony Burgess, ABBA ABBA, John Keats, Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli, Ode to a Nightingale, Ode to a Grecian Urn, Sonnet, Nineteenth-century Rom
