Pop music and characterisation in narrative film
No full textThis thesis discusses the use of pop songs in narrative films, with
particular attention paid to their role in characterisation. My
argument concerns the potential for pop to retain its specificity as
a certain type of music whilst it carries out functions normally
attributed to a composed score. Many commentators have assumed
that, because a song may be known before it is used in a film, its
narrative meanings are "pre-packaged". I combine an appreciation
of pop music's propensity to come to a film already 'known' with an
attempt to demonstrate how individual narratives ask songs to
perform different affective roles. It is my contention that pop
music's quality of 'knownness' is fundamental to its narrative
affect in films, without, however, pre-determining that affect. I
argue my case through close textual analysis, discussing the
relationship between real-life pop stars' musical personas and the
film characters they are asked to play, as well as offering numerous
examples of songs without an on-screen performer becoming
involved in processes of filmic narration
Statistical mechanics of nucleosomes
No full textEukaryotic cells contain long DNA molecules (about two meters for a human cell) which are tightly packed inside the micrometric nuclei. Nucleosomes are the basic packaging unit of the DNA which allows this millionfold compactification. A longstanding puzzle is to understand the principles which allow cells to both organize their genomes into chromatin fibers in the crowded space of their nuclei, and also to keep the DNA accessible to many factors and enzymes. With the nucleosomes covering about three quarters of the DNA, their positions are essential because these influence which genes can be regulated by the transcription factors and which cannot. We study physical models which predict the genome-wide organization of the nucleosomes and also the relevant energies which dictate this organization. In the last five years, the study of chromatin knew many important advances. In particular, in the field of nucleosome positioning, new techniques of identifying nucleosomes and the competing DNA-binding factors appeared, as chemical mapping with hydroxyl radicals, ChIP-exo, among others, the resolution of the nucleosome maps increased by using paired-end sequencing, and the price of sequencing an entire genome decreased. We present a rigorous statistical mechanics model which is able to explain the recent experimental results by taking into account nucleosome unwrapping, competition between different DNA-binding proteins, and both the interaction between histones and DNA, and between neighboring histones. We show a series of predictions of our new model, all in agreement with the experimental observations.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Răzvan V. Cherej
Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients
Elaboração do procedimento operacional padrão (POP) dos ensaios de tração estática e dinâmica da equipe Pegazuls/UFERSA
No full textArtigo AcadêmicoAo padronizar as operações de um ensaio, as possibilidades de desvios, falhas e erros são minimizadas e, por isso, esta prática está diretamente relacionada à qualidade e segurança. Os procedimentos operacionais padronizados (POP) são imprescindíveis para realização de operações rotineiras e execução de tarefas complexas. O POP é um documento que estabelece, detalhadamente, o roteiro e as recomendações de cada tarefa a ser desenvolvida. Diante disso, o referido trabalho teve como principal objetivo desenvolver um POP para os ensaios de tração estática e dinâmica da equipe PegAzuls/UFERSA, visando garantir a padronização e otimização das atividades, a segurança das pessoas que executam os ensaios, a atenuação de possíveis erros e indicar quais os primeiros socorros em caso de acidentes. Para isso foram coletados os dados de forma detalhada dos referidos ensaios. Com a elaboração do documento de qualidade (POP) para os ensaios de tração estática e dinâmica, as atividades dos futuros membros do subsistema de desempenho da equipe PegAzuls/UFERSA podem ser padronizadas e aperfeiçoadas.Trabalho não financiado por agência de fomento, ou autofinanciad
(Fourth) Report on Meteorological Activities at the DGAI (8-1-36)(Weather Bureau Copy)
No full textThis report is on the investigations of frontal phenomena at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio from January 1, 1935 through August 1, 1936. The investigation was carried out with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Weather Bureau, the California Institute of Technology, and the Guggenheim Airship Institute. Mr. R.C. Robinson of the Weather Bureau cooperated with the author in carrying out the investigation. The object of the investigation was to determine the intensity of the atmospheric disturbances (i.e. rapidity of wind shift and gustiness) accompanying the passage of cold fronts, along with a study of the characteristics of the air masses involved and other features which might affect the intensity of the disturbance. The report treated thirty cold fronts which passed the station during 1935 to 1936

No full textTutkimukselle koettiin tieteellinen tarve, koska opinnäytetyön tekijät eivät löytäneet yhtäkään julkista tutkimusta aiheesta. Toimeksiantajayritys POP Pankki Järvi-Suomi halusi myös tietää, millaista digitaalista sisältöä heidän kannattaisi sisältömarkkinoinnissaan tuottaa 26-40-vuotiaille aikuisille. Tämän perusteella muodostettiin tutkimusongelma, josta muotoiltiin tutkimuskysymykset. Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli vastata
tutkimuskysymyksiin ja ratkaista tutkimusongelma näiden avulla. Opinnäytetyössä tutkittiin, millaista digitaalista sisältöä POP Pankki Järvi-Suomen kannattaisi tuottaa kohderyhmän houkuttelemiseksi sekä vaikuttavatko pankin tuottamat digitaaliset sisällöt kohderyhmän pankin valitsemispäätökseen. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, onko pankin tuottamilla digitaalisilla sisällöillä vaikutusta kohderyhmän pankin valitsemispäätökseen.
Opinnäytetyössä haluttiin keskittyä erityisesti sisältömarkkinointiin ja digitaalisiin sisältöihin. Opinnäytetyö käsittelee näiden lisäksi tietoperustassaan pankkien asiakashankintaa, sisältömarkkinointia finanssialalla sekä sisältömarkkinointia osana asiakashankintaa. Tietoperustassa käydään myös läpi tekoälyn tuomaa muutosta sisältömarkkinointiin. Tällöin opinnäytetyö ei anna pelkästään käsitystä tämänhetkisestä sisältömarkkinoinnista vaan myös sen tulevaisuuden kehityssuunnasta.
Tutkimus menetelmäksi valittiin määrällinen tutkimus. Tutkimus toteutettiin Webropol-kyselynä. Kysely tavoitti 101 vastausta määritetyltä kohderyhmältä. Kyselyä jaettiin monissa eri sosiaalisen median kanavissa, sähköpostitse ja lopulta tuttavapiirin kautta. Tuloksista selviää kohderyhmän eniten pitämät sisältömuodot, -tyylit ja -aiheet. Tuloksista nähdään myös tehokkaimmat sosiaalisen median jakelukanavat kohderyhmän tavoittamiseen sekä kuinka useasti sisältöjä olisi kannattavaa julkaista. Tuloksista myös selviää pankkien sisältöjen vaikutus kohderyhmän pankin valintapäätökseen. Kohderyhmän houkuttelemiseksi pankin tulisi julkaista lyhyitä videoita ja kuvajulkaisuja 1–3 kertaa viikossa Instagramiin tai Facebookiin, sisältöaiheista taloudelliset vinkit ja talousuutiset. Näiden sisältöjen tulisi olla tyyliltään inspiroivia ja opettavaisia. Lisäksi kohderyhmän enemmistö ei kokenut pankin tuottamien digitaalisten sisältöjen vaikuttavan
suoranaisesti pankin valintaan

No full textabstract: Daniel was a little boy when the war came to his village. He witnessed people being shot and running for shelter. There was no food or water so he drank urine and ate tree leaves.
“Lost Boys Found” is an ongoing, interdisciplinary project that is collecting, recording and archiving the oral histories of the Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan. The collection is a work-in-progress, seeking to record the oral history of as many Lost Boys/Girls as are willing, and will be used in a future book.Age: 24Region: Upper NileThis picture and bio was donated to the "Lost Boys Found" oral history project from The Arizona Lost Boys Cente
