No full textData transformation in stability analysis of dynamic-model. 2.Effects on genetic-parameters
No full textConsidering the case of the residual mean squares of deviation from the linear regression, if they are not homogeneous across all genotypes, thus a power transformation of data was proposed. To test the adequacy and necessity of transformation, the effects of transformation of data on genetic parameters in stability analysis of dynamic models were discussed. The method of Schlesselman (1973) can by adapted to provide as a means of estimating approximate confidence intervals of a power transformation for reducing error heterogeneity. The method involves the regression of log {sample variance} on log {sample mean}. log Y and Y-0.1 transformations were considered in analyzing the fresh data of 9 x 9 diallel crosses of Arabidopsis thaliana, highly significant correlation was found between these two transformation scales and origianl data. However, the use of any data transformation may reduce the correlation between stability index and phenotypic mean because of the removal of heterogeneity of variance. This may help breeders select genotypes having above mean performance and high stability. On the other hand, the magnitudes of interactions and heterogeneity among regressions are also reduced by using data transformation. The effects on genetic parameters in stability analysis of dynamic model were in accordance with those on space-time parameters of dynamic model in previous study

The method involves the regression of log {sample variance} on log {sample mean}. Log Y and Y0.1 transformations were considered in analyzing the fresh data of 24 inbreds of Arabidopsis thaliana, no difference was found between these two transformation scales in the rank order of genotypic stability. However, the use of any data transformation may reduce the correlation between stability index and phenotypic mean because of the removal of heterogeneity of variance. This may help breeders select genotypes having above mean performance and high stability.

H.P. Lovecraft : against the world, against life /
No full text"Michel Houellebecq focuses his considerable analytical skills on H.P. Lovecraft, one of the seminal horror writers of the early 20th century. Houellebecq's insights into the craft of writing illuminate both Lovecraft and Houellebecq's own work. The two are kindred spirits, sharing a uniquely dark worldview. But even as he outlines Lovecraft's rejection of this loathsome world, it is Houellebecq's adulation for the author that drives this work and makes it a love song. This is indispensable reading for anyone interested in Lovecraft, Houellebecq, or the past and future of horror."--Global Books in Print.Includes bibliographical references."Lovecraft's pillow" : an introduction / by Stephen King -- Chronology -- H.P.

The story of the Sanatorium, Baarn, designed by H.P. Berlage & T. Sanders
No full textThis study investigates the evolving role of the health and wellness centre Sanatorium Baarn, designed by H.P. Berlage and T. Sanders, through the lens of changing public perception over time. The inquiry is grounded in the central question: 'To what extent has the public reception of the health and wellness centre Sanatorium Baarn, designed by H.P Berlage and Theo Sanders, evolved over time and which factors within and outside the design process have influenced this interpretation and evaluation?'The Sanatorium, envisioned by H.P. Berlage and T. Sanders, aimed to rival European health centres ('Kur') and establish itself within Baarn's community. Surprisingly, it exceeded expectations, becoming a haven for both the rich and ill. Initially embraced, the Sanatorium's architectural intricacies were cherished by the community. Its significance persisted, endorsed by figures like Sergio Polano. However, a gradual transformation unfolded. Neglect, complexities in ownership, wartime disruptions, and post-war decline marred its splendour. Despite rehabilitation, guest numbers dwindled due to factors like car-free days, necessitating closure. Evolving fire safety standards posed further challenges.Amid these changes, public perception endured, keeping it a cherished symbol. Post-war shifts made it political, transitioning into a facility for war victims (BAVO) and Indonesian repatriates. An arson attempt damaged the structure's integrity, but hope remained for revival. After an auction, the building teetered on a second chance, poised for restoration. The city council, eager to preserve it, oversaw demolition and transformation. Yet, challenges arose with the new design by Van den Broek and Bakema. Municipal decisions and communal functions significantly influenced its trajectory. Ultimately, interventions altered its status, reflecting architectural resilience amidst historical shifts.AR2A011Architectural History ThesisArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Science
H.P. Grice's conversational rules: pragmatics or semantics?
No full textThe subject of the paper is the interaction of the functional aspects of language, i.e. of semantics and pragmatics. The author assumes that the interdependence of semantics and pragmatics determines the fuzzy border of these basic language categories. This fact is reflected in the research practices: the pragmatic phenomena are described in terms of semantics and, conversely, the semantic phenomena are described in terms of pragmatics. Additionally, substitution of terms, i.e. interpretation of semantic phenomena in the pragmatic field is also possible. As an example of this type of manipulation the concept of H.P. Grice's conversational rules is considered in more detail
