Peak Car and Beyond: The Fourth Era of Travel
No full textThere is emerging evidence that personal daily travel, particularly by car, has ceased to grow in the developed economies. This can be attributed to saturation of demand, given high levels of access and choice now widely available, together with constraints on higher speeds. We are therefore at a time of transition from an era of growth of per capita travel to an era of stability, in which the future factors determining the growth of total travel demand are demographic — population growth, increasing longevity, and urbanisation. The peak car phenomenon, which marks this transition, is seen in successful cities that attract a growing population whose travel needs are increasingly met by investment in rail-based transport, the revival of which is a characteristic of the new era

Théâtre et sacre (analyse d'une interculturalité dramatique dans les oeuvres de P. Claudel et d'E. Wiesel)
No full textCette étude porte sur une étude comparée de six pièces de théâtre de deux auteurs Paul Claudel et Elie Wiesel montrant comment chacun positionne sa culture religieuse par rapport à l'art dramatique. Organisée en trois parties, cette thèse joue ainsi sur deux corpus : un corpus classique de tradition chrétienne (Paul Claudel) croisé à un corpus de tradition juive (Elie Wiesel). Après avoir démontré l'interculturalité existante au coeur des sources même des deux auteurs (étude comparée du théâtre juif et chrétien) dans une première partie, la réflexion s'axe sur la multiculturalité entre les deux auteurs qu'elle oppose en montrant la conception que chacun a de l'"autre" en tant qu'ennemi dans la quête de cet " Autre" qu'est Dieu au théâtre (opposition de la tradition chrétienne et la tradition juive). La troisième partie de la thèse s'attache à une dimension transculturelle dépassant le culturel et envisageant des "schèmes" identitaires communs aux deux visions théâtrales. Des questions d'ordres philosophiques (utilité du péché, nature de Dieu, ) surgissent étroitement liées à la théâtralité comme outil de communication d'un sacré universel. La conclusion ouvre sur une possibilité du théâtre comme média du sacré, dépassant le religieux pour accéder à un humanisme plus global. Cette étude met notamment en exergue une origine nouvelle du mot "théâtre" faisant reposer la notion non sur l'étymologie traditionnelle attestée communément "lieu où l'on voit" mais, se fondant sur la double racine grecque "thea-tron" : "moyen pour atteindre la vision". Point de départ de l'étude, cette prémisse conditionne la recherche pour donner lieu à une problématique sur l'apport du théâtre comme "média" de la vision religieuse au XXème siècle au travers de deux auteurs de confessions radicalement différentes. Au centre exact de l'étude, on notera le recours à la philosophie et la mention des philosophes E. Lévinas (la théorie du face-à-face) et J.P. Sartre (sa première pièce écrite en captivité) qui fonctionnent comme pierres de touche de la problématique de l'"Autre" au théâtre.This work is a continuation of the Master's thesis named "Theatre and the sacre : Theater of the sacrifice or sacrifice of the theater in The Satin shoes by P. Claudel and the Dybbuk by P. Anski". One can find there the same concern for sacredness in the theater from a very specific angle : "the transmission of the sacred through two archetypes : the form of christian mystery and the traditional form of the purim spiel", which are the objects of a comparative analysis and which are the catalysts for dramatic intercultural spirituality in the two examined works. This study focuses thus more specifically on the actual literary content through an analysis of archetypical forms and of their dramatic expressions with E. Wiesel and P. Claudel. Without joining in an ordinary religious polemic, the aim of this study is to show what the creative madness which is about to happen in front of a public is, by analyzing aesthetic preoccupations (according to the culture of the two authors), artistic ones (the influence of the music and of the time) and, of course, pure dramatic preoccupations (analysis of the writing, of the dramaturgy, semiology,...). The numerous biblical allusions of these two works will also be considered. Does this mean that we deal with a religious theater, with divine mysteries that one has to read as acts of faith ? On the contrary, the pre-existing religion occurs here as a catalyst of the sacred, as a dynamic of tensions and is not more than an efficient ingredient for the transportation of the public (and of the author). The scenic space eliminates the divine sort of transcendence in order to set up another form of transcendence : the one of the theater in itself that is the altar on which the author is sacrified and sublimated. The questions which this work attemps to respond to are the following : how to transform the religious sacred into an artistic sacred through Performing Arts and how do two authors of different religious confessions proceed at this ? Do there exist topoi (commonplaces) of this passage from the out of scenic to the scenic when you touch the domain of the sacred (historic study of the medieval "mysteries" and parallels with the tradition of the Purim Spiel) ? If it is the case, which are symbols of it and how do they become manifest in the dramatic "material" (scenery, costumes, accessories,...) ? Finally, is there a word of the Sacred that is more appropriate to the out-of-time of theSpiritual or can the Logos be translated into a daily prose, which, by being transformed within its everyday nature, becomes poetic in the 20th century ?METZ-SCD (574632105) / SudocSudocFranceF

Finding Neighbours in d-Dimensional Binary Digital Images Represented by Bintrees
No full text: 1 Introduction Finding Neighbours in-Dimensional Binary Digital Images Represented by Bintrees. Igor Metz Institut f ur Informatik und angewandte Mathematik Universit at Bern, CH - 3012 Bern Author's present address: GLUE Software Engineering, Ralligweg 10, CH-3012 Bern, email: [email protected], Tel +41 31 305 03 11, Fax +41 31 301 44 33 An algorithm for moving between adjacent regions in a binary digital image representated by a bintree is presented. This algorithm differs from other neighbour--finding algorithms in hierarchical image representations, as it exploits the nature of bintrees and thus can perform independently of any specific dimension of image or space. The algorithm is hybrid in its nature, as it uses a linear tree notation (locational codes) to find its way in a tree implemented with pointers. Image representation is a very important aspect of image processing, computer vision, and computer graphics. Depending on the application, different image representations are us..
Interview with Ken Metz and an Analysis of his Work Songs from Mother Goose
No full textIn an interview conducted in February of 2008 by the author, Ken Metz speaks about his experiences as a composer-professor. Topics addressed in the interview include Metz’ development as a composer, his compositional language, his approach to teaching music theory and composition, and the state of contemporary art composition.
An analysis of Metz’ song cycle Songs from Mother Goose follows the interview, with an exploration of Mother Goose Rhymes as an art song text and a movement-by-movement discussion of the work. The wide variety of compositional techniques found in the work, along with the incorporation of folk styles, speak to Metz’ diverse language as an art composer. Conclusions are drawn about art composition and music education.Musi
