Producción musical del tema Dónde Estás del artista Tomas Cansing
No full textThe musical theme “Dónde Estás” came in a spontaneous way, back in August of 2013, based on personal experiences of the author. The project was totally produced by the musician and composer Tomas Cansing, who tried to capture his ideas and both musical and lyrical experiences, to attempt that the listener feels identified with the principal concept of the song. Due to the musical features of the song, the production process was carried out by implementing standardized concepts and techniques related to the musical trend of this project. At the same time taking into account the musical references exposed by the artist, since there were some elements as: instrumentation and sonority that worked as a base for the musical production…El tema musical “Dónde Estás” nace de manera espontánea, a mediados del mes de Agosto del 2013, basado en experiencias propias del autor.

TOMAS: De variant op palen
No full textTOMAS is een bouwmethode voor de geïndustrialiseerde aanleg van een tunnelbak voor spoor- en wegverbindingen onder maaiveld. Dit rapport is globaal onder te verdelen in drie onderwerpen: 1) Beschrijving van de technologie; In dit gedeelte van het rapport wordt kort ingegaan op het technische idee achter TOMAS. De knelpunten worden behandeld en technisch onderbouwd. Bij een optimale werking van het proces kan TOMAS een voortgangssnelheid boeken van 45 meter per dag. 2) Krachtsbepaling onder een maatgevende treinlast in eindfase; Uitgangspunt is dat TOMAS een eindprodukt achterlaat dat geschikt is om treinverkeer toe te laten. Er wordt een belastinggeval bekeken waarbij twee treinen elkaar passeren en een statische belasting geven van 160 kN/m. Het blijkt dat de lengte van de treinen invloed hebben op de momentverdeling in de bak. Een maximum moment (circa 12.000 kNm) wordt bereikt bij een treinlengte van 30 meter. Het moment veroorzaakt een vormverandering in de bak waardoor de voegen neigen open te gaan staan. Als de voegen open staan kan grondwater in de bak stromen. Een eis voor de uiteindelijke constructie is dat deze grondwaterdicht moet zijn. Om de bak onder deze last waterdicht te houden is een axiale voorspanning benodigd van 3200 kN. De parameters benodigd voor de berekening, de beddingsconstante, de h.o.h. afstand van de heipalen en de veerstijfheid van de palen is bepaald in een typisch Rotterdams grondprofiel. 3) Technische onderbouwing van de haa/baarheid van TOMAS in de bouwfase; In de bouwfase is voornamelijk de invloed van de uitsleuver belicht waarbij is geprobeerd antwoord te krijgen op de volgende vragen: \u95 Blijft het graaffront stabiel, zal de grond niet gaan afschuiven? Wat is de invloed van gekruiste platen (frietsnijdervorm) aan het graaffront op de stabiliteit van het graaffront? \u95 Is er een blijvende axiale voorspanning in de bak? \u95 Hoe groot zijn de vijzelkrachten wanneer de uitsleuver zich door de grond drukt? \u95 Hoe reageert de betonnen bak onder de, niet continue, vijzelkracht? Om het graaffront van de uitsleuver zo klein mogelijk te houden wordt de grond aan het front gestabiliseerd met gekruiste platen. Deze platen hebben de vorm van een 'frietsnijder' en worden met kracht door de grond gedrukt. Deze kracht is erg afhankelijk van de grondsoort. Over het algemeen geeft, bij het gebruik van overlangse platen aan het graaffront, een zandige grondsoort grote krachten (tot 50.000 kN), wat het gebruik van deze platen aan het graaffront minder geschikt maakt voor deze gronden. Voor kleiige gronden ligt de vijzelkracht in de orde van grootte 20.000 kN.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience

Oenological characterisation of indigenous strains of S. cerevisiae isolated in a biodynamic winery in the Cortona DOC area
Get PDFGenotypic and technological characterisation of the S. cerevisiae population isolated in a biodynamic winery in the Cortona DOC area was performed to gain better knowledge of the variables that influence winemaking. The oenological performance of 11 S. cerevisiae strains was evaluated with physiological tests; strain typing was performed through analysis of interdelta sequences and 26S rDNA sequencing. The analysis revealed a remarkable variability in terms of S. cerevisiae strains, despite the homogeneity of wine features, underlining the high levels of biodiversity characterising biodynamic agriculture. Some strains were found in wines of different vintages, suggesting the presence of an established microbiota in the winery. Oenological tests demonstrated that while some yeasts provided reliable oenological performance, other strains were not able to accomplish prompt and effective alcoholic fermentation, or were characterised by spoilage characteristics, such as excessive production of volatile phenols or acetic acid. Indigenous strains of S. cerevisiae could be a useful instrument for reliable winemaking without altering the native microbiota of each oenological environment. However, characterisation of their oenological suitability, and the application of practices able to drive the evolution of microbiota, must be employed to reduce the risk of wine spoilage
What’s for dinner today? Remarks on the provisions and diet of Roman soldiers during the Principate
Get PDFMany ancient writers have written about feeding the Roman army, including Vegetius, Appian, Cassius Dio, Tacitus and Suetonius. Archaeological sources provide interesting data about army provisioning, food supply, the soldier's diet, but also the consequences of eating certain types of foods. Analyzing the remains
of consumption and waste, we can reconstruct the diet of soldiers in various corners of the empire and look at their everyday life "from the kitchen". This contribution is an attempt at an introduction on the nature of literary
and archaeological sources concerning the food supply and diet of soldiers stationed in several selected places in the empire

Identifying Author Fingerprints in Texts via Graph Neural Networks
No full textThe world is generating more and more network data in many different areas (e.g., sensor networks, social networks and even text). A unique characteristic of these data is the coupling between data values and underlying irregular structure on which these values are defined. Thus, researchers developed Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to use deep learning approaches on these irregular network data. GNNs developers tried to replicate the recent success of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and developed its graph counterpart Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCNN) and more different variations of GNNs (e.g. EdgeNet). However, all these architectures are relatively young, and the impact of different parameters to classification result is not well researched compared to regular neural network architectures. To address this issue, we propose to use authorship attribution problem to research the impact of different architectures and their variations to classification accuracy and how GNNs can be used to improve on authorship attribution task compared to the baseline architectures. Explicitly, we define the dataset which is going to be used throughout the experiments and the method to convert text excerpts of authors into the network that can be classified with GNNs (called WAN). WAN is as a network that captures unique author fingerprint. We also define the set of GNN architectures (and different combinations and variations of them), baseline architecture (SVM) and experiments that are used with those architectures. This experiment setting allows us to compare different GNN architectures among themselves and the baseline architecture. Also, we define a method to reduce the dimensions of author fingerprints (WANs) and use these sparse author fingerprints for the same experiments with the same architectures. Numerical results show the improvement over the baseline architectures in nearly all defined experiments. Also, we found that more complex GNN architectures (e.g. EdgeNets) are superior to shallower architectures with more laborious experiments (e.g. classification by gender). More complex architectures also require hyperparameter re-tuning in order to achieve optimal results. Furthermore, experiments with sparse author fingerprints showed that we could achieve comparable results to standard fingerprints with faster training times and significantly reduced dimensions. GNN architectures used with sparse author fingerprints were usually superior to baseline architectures
The Authorship of Tomas Espedal
No full textThis thesis is centered around the norwegian author Tomas Espedal. The paper sets out to read Espedal’s novels as one text altogether with the same I, while exploring how the literary term autofiction supports this approach. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part of the thesis examines the genre autofiction. It shows examples of how autofiction is used as a genre for different generations of authors, and how it is popular to write this hybrid genre between autobiography and fiction. It illuminates a tendency to writeautofiction, discussing the ethical questions that arises when the written books become a mix of autobiography and fiction. This is further discussed in the third part. The second part of the paper probes how the I develops throughout the books, and how the author writes about the themes love and alcohol. Both themes are literary fuel to the author, both in his writing and in his performances. I choose to understand the paratexts - interviews and performances - as complementary dimensions of the same I that appears in the novels. As life and literature become fused, I argue that it is pointless to separate the two.In third part of the thesis, I show how writers write about each other and interact with each others’ lives and literary works. While the main focus is Tomas Espedal’s authorship, the thesis also discusses Karl Ove Knausgård’s works as well as upcoming authors and authors who made an impact in the danish public with their books. I use interviews, talks and tv-shows to let Tomas Espedal discuss his own writing. Finally, I discuss the ongoing challenges for autofiction and give my own suggestion to how the authorship may evolve in the future when the next books in the one great collected Tomas Espedal novel will be written. <br/
