Intensiteits-beperkingen in het electromagnetische frequentie-spectrum
No full textAttention is drawn to the fact that the power which can be generated by various electromagnetic radiation sources show a remarkable minimum at frequencies between the long wave infrared and the microwaves. This observed power restriction appears to be of physical nature. This frequency region contains the resonance frequencies of the simplest living organisms and cells. Leaving aside teleological speculations it should be called to attention that this wavelength-region (so essential for permanence and conservation of the phenomena of life) appears to be harly accessible for human electromagnetic activities

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Bicycle Ballet
No full textVirginia Farman directed/choreographed this large-scale, 'in-the-round', 40 minute, outdoor performance for 30 - 100 dancers/cyclists,(depending on site) 'in the round' as a free public spectacle to audiences of 3,000, with producer Karen Poley and composer Olly Aymer. It was created for, and first performed on, National 'Car Free Day', 2006 and later at the National Theatre and for the Queen's visit to Brighton (both 2007). Inspired by an investigation into the potential for a modern mass spectacle, 'Bicycle Ballet' is a celebration of alternative technology and community action. It explores a modernist aesthetic in its glorification of speed, the machine and symmetric, non-organic patterning, referencing sport and Olympic imagery, the films of Jacques Tati and the choreography of Busby Berkeley
