Brief Note: Smooth-billed Ani (Crotophaga ani L.), a New Species of Bird for Ohio
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of Biology, John Carroll University ; Department of Vertebrate Zoology, The Cleveland Museum of Natural HistoryA smooth-billed ani (Crotophaga ani L.) is reported from Ohio for the first time. The specimen (CMNH 68471) also represents the first inland state record for the United States. Confirmation of specific identity was obtained because of the significance of the record and some equivocal characteristics of the specimen. Care in field identification of extralimital anis is suggested
Seguimiento del proceso constructivo del Hostal Belvillage
No full textI joined the company in June of 2016, thanks to the training contract offered by the
university.
Since then until now I have been able to complement my theoretical knowledge acquired
during my degree with the practical training of the works. From my point of view, the
practice is fundamental in our profession, that is why, having entered a construction
company has allowed me to see for myself everything that involves a construction project
from its beginning to the end, including after-sales services.
I have learned that when it comes to building we are not only dedicated to that, we are
also managers of our works, because apart from producing we have to achieve other
objectives, and one of the most important is the control of costs. We have to get some
benefits for the company, for that we have to know how to use the necessary and
indispensable resources and keeping the planning.
By working at the job site, it has taught me that the works are not identical to how they
appear in the blueprints and at all times you can have unexpected incidences that you
should find a quick and adequate solution for everyone
„Ani kapłani, ani błaźni”. Odsłony zwrotu postsekularnego w antropologii
No full textNeither Priests nor Clowns: Attitudes Towards the Postsecular Turn in Anthropology
The article discusses the issue of the postsecular turn in contemporary anthropology, taking into account the cultural processes involved in its emergence. The author attempts to identify research areas and issues worthy of exploring within this turn, and at the same time she considers the boundary conditions for its usefulness in scientific research. Referring to the recent anthropological literature on this topic, the author distinguishes two leading epistemological attitudes involved in this turn: the one that acknowledges the supernatural dimension of revelation and the one that sees it as a social fact. Both are heterogenous and each sees the relationship between anthropology and theology differently. Discussing some anthropological views in this regard, the author aims to revive the dialogue between researchers from various social and human sciences representing the postsecular turn. On the one hand, this dialogue can initiate new paths of mutual inspiration and co-thinking; on the other hand, it may lead to more conscious distinctions between different varieties of postsecular reflection.
„Ani kapłani, ani błaźni”. Odsłony zwrotu postsekularnego w antropologii
Celem artykułu jest refleksja nad specyfiką zwrotu postsekularnego we współczesnej antropologii, uwzględniająca jego uwarunkowania społeczno-kulturowe oraz związane z nim postawy epistemologiczne. Autorka próbuje wskazać obszary badań i zagadnienia, które powinny być przedmiotem eksploracji tego zwrotu, a zarazem określić warunki brzegowe wykorzystywania wypracowanych na jego gruncie narzędzi analitycznych w badaniach naukowych. Odnosząc się do najnowszej literatury przedmiotu, autorka wyróżnia w antropologii dwie wiodące postawy epistemologiczne zaangażowane w ów zwrot: uznające rzeczywistość objawienia oraz odrzucające taką możliwość (naturalistyczne). Dostrzega, że w ich ramach wysuwane są różnorakie pomysły na to, jak mogłaby wyglądać i czemu służyć kooperacja antropologii z teologią. Prezentując antropologiczne odsłony owego zwrotu, tekst ma na celu ożywienie dialogu między reprezentującymi go badaczami uprawiającymi różne nauki humanistyczne i społeczne. Dialog ten z jednej strony może zainicjować nowe ścieżki wzajemnych inspiracji i współmyślenia, z drugiej zaś doprowadzić do bardziej świadomych dystynkcji między różnymi wariantami tego zwrotu
There is no ball: smart phone enabled paddleboard
No full textThe There Is No Ball system is a web and mobile-based game system, which allows users to play a game of paddleboard without an actual physical ball. The system is composed of two tablets, which communicate to exchange sensor information and simulate the hitting of an imaginary ball back and forth between the two devices. A third device displays the calculated location of the ball and projects its moving image to the screen. This paper presents the implementation challenges and solutions for coordinating three devices, which use heterogeneous communication protocols to exchange and maneuver various sensor data. Local filtering strategies are applied to improve the responsiveness of actuation and to deliver an enjoyable game experience.Includes bibliographical references (pages 45-47)California State University, Northridge.

A TUTORIAL GUIDE TO THE ANI ANIMATION SYSTEM
No full textANI is a three dimensional animation control program. It was developed in
the department of Computer Science at the University of Calgary as part
of the graphics land environment. ANI works as an animation environment
that easily defines many types of different animation techniques. Although
ANI was not designed for the non-experienced computer user, it should not
be very hard to master enough of the concepts and commands to start doing
basic animation very quickly.
ANI works very closely with a system called PG (Polygon Groper), and can
only animate objects created in PG. For those of you who would like to
advance to sophisticated animation techniques, I highly recommend that
you learn the basics of, and become familiar with PG.
ANI was not designed to handle real-time animation (being able to see
things move in front of you immediately), although some limited facilities
exist to do this. Rather ANI was designed to create all of the individual
pictures, which would then later be put on film or video tape.

“...NON AVEVA IL SESSO RICOPERTO DAL MUSCHIO” La raccolta collettanea Ani labuť ani Lůna (1936) e la critica sul Diario del 1835 di K. H. Mácha come manifesto estetico, etico e filosofico dei surrealisti cechi
No full textThe paper aims to investigate the Surrealist interpretations of the poet Karel Hynek Mácha (1810-
1836), proposed in the collective volume Ani labuť ani Lůna (Nor the Swan nor the Moon, 1936). Published
with a clear polemical intention, it contains numerous criticisms of the official celebrations for the centenary
of Mácha’s death: a mythologized image of the author, canonized as “the” Czech romantic poet par excellence,
poet of love as well as patriot. The Surrealists propose, instead, a reflection on the body and the sexual sphere
in Mácha based on his Diary of 1835 and on the parts encrypted by the author. In Ani labuť ani Lůna, the
omission of these parts in the version published posthumously becomes a tool for criticizing bourgeois
morality within the Czechoslovak society of the time, as well shows the State’s exploitation of the figure of
Mácha. After presenting of the contents of the various essays in the publication, I will focus on the
contributions of V. Nezval, Z. Kalandra, K. Teige and B. Brouk and on the “witness-to-the-truth” function
that the Surrealists ascribe to the encrypted parts of the Diary
A Note on Case-Based Optimization with a Non-Degenerate Similarity Function
No full textThe paper applies the ��realistic-ambitious�� rule for adaptation of the aspiration level suggested by Gilboa and Schmeidler (1996) to a situation in which the similarity between the available acts is represented by a non-degenerate function. The paper shows that the optimality result obtained by Gilboa and Schmeidler (1996) in general fails. With a concave similarity function, the best corner act is chosen in the limit. Introducing convex regions into the similarity function improves the limit choice. A sufficiently fine similarity function allows to approximate optimal behavior with an arbitrary degree of precision.
