No full textRetelling Dmitri Karamazov’s Story in an Interactive Graphic Novel
No full textThis thesis discusses the subject and media of Dmitri Karamazov an interactive graphic novel with Augmented Reality component. Dmitri Karamazov is adapted from Dostoevsky’s novel the Brothers Karamazov. The author uses a fannish, feminine reading strategy to interpret Dostoevsky's character Mitya, transforms the original narrative and retells the story with the assistance of AR technology. The use of AR in Dmitri Karamazov highlights the fanfiction nature of this interactive graphic novel. It shows how a reader can actively participate in literary interpretation, criticism, writing, rewriting, adapting and creating in a new layer of reality. In terms of literature appreciation and consumption, AR encourages people to break away from their traditional passive-reader roles, and provides a virtual space for people to assume authorship of the materials they encounter.</p
Eksperimentasi Permasalahan Teknik-teknik pada Cello Concerto No.1 Bagian Pertama “Allegretto” Karya Dmitri Shostakovich
Full text linkABSTRAK Penguasaan teknik bagi seorang resitalis merupakan suatu keharusan, sesuai dengan tingkat kesulitan teknis yang ingin dicapai. Penulis mengacu pada penandaan teknis oleh pemain cello Mstislav Rostropovich untuk fingering dan bowing dalam repertoar pertama Cello Concerto No. 1 karya Dmitri Shostakovich yang kemudian ditemukan ketidakcocokan dalam preferensi pertimbangan teknis dan membuat penulis ingin mencoba bereksperimen untuk memecahkan masalah kesulitan teknis dalam repertoar tersebut. Technical Problems Experimentation in The Cello Concerto No.1, First Movement "Allegretto" by Dmitri Shostakovich ABSTRACT A recitalist's mastery of technique is a must, according to the level of desired achievements of technical difficulties. The author refers to the technical markings by cellist Mstislav Rostropovich for fingerings and bowings in the first cello concerto No.1 by Dmitri Shostakovich, which later was found discrepancies in the preferences of technical considerations, thus have made the author want to try to solve technical problems in the repertoire in a more personal way.
Energy spectrum measured by the telescope array surface detector
No full textTwo conflicting measurements of the ultra high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) flux have been reported by the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA) and the High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) experiments. HiRes observes a 5 suppression at eV, which is in agreement with the prediction of Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuz'min (GZK) theory. AGASA, in contrast, sees the flux extended well beyond eV with no visible break, suggesting that the flux is limited only by the rate at which the sources can produce the UHECR and not by interaction of energetic particles with the cosmic microwave background, thus challenging the relativistic invariance principle. In response to this discrepancy, a new experiment named the Telescope Array (TA) has been deployed, which combines the detection elements used separately by HiRes and AGASA. We describe the TA surface detector (SD) analysis using a technique new to the field, which consists of a detailed Monte-Carlo (MC) simulation of the SD response to the natural cosmic rays, validating the MC by comparing its distributions with the data, and calculation of the SD aperture from the MC. We will also describe our reconstruction procedure, based solely upon the data, and its application to both data and the MC. Finally, we will describe the energy spectrum resulting from this analysis, which is found to be in excellent agreement with the HiRes result, and as such, is the first confirmation of the GZK effect by a ground array of scintillation counters.Ph.

Collaborative Self-Translation: Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov, Dmitri Vladimirovich Nabokov and Italian Language
Full text linkThere is a large body of critical literature on Vladimir Nabokov’s translations and self-translations, mostly published in the Anglophone context. Yet, at closer look, very little still has been said about his translations published in Italy. In this regard, Nabokov owes much to his collaboration with his son Dmitri, who, in many cases, was the author of the first translation drafts which he later reworked. The present paper will focus on the act of “collaborative self-translation” that saw Nabokov father and son work together. We then proceed analysing Dmitri Nabokov’s translations and self-translations into Italian, which are in turn based on forms of (disguised) collaborative-translation. Such an investigation makes it possible to discuss, from a theoretical point of view, the phenomenon of self-translation under a new light, introducing the notion of “unreliable self-translator”

No full textTato bakalářská práce pojednává o opeře „Lady Macbeth z Mcenského újezdu“ skladatele Dimitrije Šostakoviče. V první části práce je rozebráno Šostakovičovo dílo v kontextu jeho života a doby, do roku 1936. V následujících kapitolách jsou následně popsány hudební principy a tematický rozbor opery „Lady Macbeth“. Dále se jsou popsány scénografické postupy Františka Tröstera pro scénické řešení československé premiéry v SND roku 1935. V závěrečné části je představena koncepce řešení výpravy pro tuto operu, kterou vytvořil autor bakalářské práce.This bachelor thesis deals with opera Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk by Dmitri Shostakovich. Firstly, life and work of Dmitri Shostakovich is introduced and set in a broader context. The following part is about Dmitri Shostakovich´s music ideas and themes in work of Lady Macbeth. The third part of the thesis is about the stage design of Lady Macbeth by Frantisek Tröster (1935) for SND theater. In the final part is presented the solution of costume and stage design for Lady Macbeth which were created by the author of the bachelor thesis
To the centenary of the birth of outstanding evolutionist Dmitri Konstantinovich Belyaev
Full text linkThis paper is a tribute to outstanding evolutionary biologist Dmitri Konstantinovich Belyaev in connection with the forthcoming centenary of his birth. His work on variation-related mechanisms in animal domestication made this process much faster. Belyaev is at length described as a person, as a scientist and as the organizer of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The author had for many years worked as Belyaev’s Deputy for Science, and, when Dmitri Konstantinovich passed away, had for 22 years headed the Institute of Cytology and Genetics. Belyaev’s life was not easy: he was a priest’s son and an “enemy of the people”’s brother. He was in the battlefield all through the Great Patriotic War and became a man of steel. His struggle for the restoration of genetics in the country, his commitment to setting up and maintaining relationships between masters and followers and many more other aspects of his life are considered. The global importance of the “master – follower” paradigm as a basis of the continuity of generations is underlined and re-underlined, for this is a very special point in the scientific community, especially when new schools of science emerge
