Autobiogrāfiskie motīvi ķīniešu imperatoru dzejā (no Haņ līdz Cjin dinastijai)
2021
Bakalaura darbā “Autobiogrāfiskie motīvi ķīniešu imperatoru dzejā (no Haņ līdz Cjin dinastijai)” tiek analizēta ievērojamāko ķīniešu Haņ līdz Cjin dinastiju imperatoru-literātu dzeja un tajā esošas autobiogrāfiskas iezīmes. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir iepazīstināt ar dažādu dinastiju (no Haņ līdz Cjin dinastijai) ķīniešu imperatoru dzīvēm, kuru dzeja ir saglabājusies līdz mūsdienām. Galvenie uzdevumi ir apskatīt viņu rakstīšanas stilus un to īpašības; izpētīt vēstures fonu un dzejas attīstību katrā no darbā minētajām dinastijām, lai noskaidrotu imperatoru dzejas saistību ar valsts un viņu personīgās dzīves notikumiem, kā arī izvēlēties, tulkot no senķīniešu valodas un analizēt nozīmīgākos dze…
Diurnal changes in the perception of emotions in music: Does the time of day matter?
2014
According to the Hindustani music tradition, the ability of a song to induce certain emotions depends on the time of day: playing a song at the right time is said to maximise its emotional effect. The present exploratory study investigated this claim by combining findings in chronobiology, mood research and music perception. It has already been established that some aspects of our mood fluctuations follow a cyclical pattern. Besides, it is a known fact that our current mood influences our perception and assessment of emotions. However, these elements have never been linked together in a study examining the effect of mood cyclicity on perceived emotions in music. To test the hypothesis of a…
Bilaterally recorded multiple-unit activity of the cingulate cortex during head turning conditioning with unilateral medial forebrain bundle stimulat…
1993
Cats were conditioned to turn their heads using a tone conditioned stimulus (CS) and medial forebrain bundle stimulation (MFB) unconditioned stimulus (US). The CS+ was delivered to one ear at a time, in random order, followed by the US. A tone of a different frequency was used as a CS-. The cats learned to respond differentially to the CSs showing head movements of greater acceleration to the CS+ than CS- over sessions. Bilateral recordings of cingulate cortex multiple-unit activity showed increased response amplitudes over sessions and larger responses in the hemisphere ipsilateral to the US. Since ipsilateral multiple-unit responses did not differ for the CSs, the asymmetry was probably d…
Asymmetries in classically conditioned head movements and cingulate cortex slow potentials in cats.
1991
Presuming that conditioned head movements in the cat indicate a preference for a specific direction, asymmetries were also expected to be found in bilaterally recorded cingulate cortex slow potentials to a symmetrical tone stimulus during discriminative conditioning. Conditioned stimuli (CS, 1000 and 2500 Hz tones) were delivered through two miniature loudspeakers fitted to the head in front of both ears. The unconditioned stimulus (US) was an electrical stimulation of either the left or right lateral hypothalamus yielding, in addition to its rewarding effects, an unconditioned head turning response (UR) either to the left, right, forwards or upwards. Discrimination learning appeared as mor…
Overlapping self-affine sets of Kakeya type
2009
We compute the Minkowski dimension for a family of self-affine sets on the plane. Our result holds for every (rather than generic) set in the class. Moreover, we exhibit explicit open subsets of this class where we allow overlapping, and do not impose any conditions on the norms of the linear maps. The family under consideration was inspired by the theory of Kakeya sets.
A Multiplicity result for a class of strongly indefinite asymptotically linear second order systems
2010
We prove a multiplicity result for a class of strongly indefinite nonlinear second order asymptotically linear systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The key idea for the proof is to bring together the classical shooting method and the Maslov index of the linear Hamiltonian systems associated to the asymptotic limits of the given nonlinearity.
Rigidity of quasisymmetric mappings on self-affine carpets
2016
We show that the class of quasisymmetric maps between horizontal self-affine carpets is rigid. Such maps can only exist when the dimensions of the carpets coincide, and in this case, the quasisymmetric maps are quasi-Lipschitz. We also show that horizontal self-affine carpets are minimal for the conformal Assouad dimension.

Signatures of physical constraints in rotating rigid bodies
2023
We study signatures of physical constraints on free rotations of rigid bodies. We show analytically that the physical or non-physical nature of the moments of inertia of a system can be detected by qualitative changes both in the Montgomery Phase and in the Tennis Racket Effect.
Orazio, la Fortuna, l’unicorno: lettura di CB 93a
2017
Questa nota presenta l’analisi di CB 93a (Cum Fortuna voluit me vivere beatum), un breve componimento poetico che risulta fondato su una tematica ben presente in molte liriche classiche e medievali: il lamento per l’arrivo della vecchiaia che, di conseguenza, esclude l’attività amorosa. Il componimento, quanto a immagini e motivi, risulta affine a Orazio, carm. III 26 (Vixi puellis nuper idoneus). Il poeta medievale aggiunge, di suo, alcuni temi simbolici e cristiani, quali la figura dell’unicorno e la separazione del grano dalla paglia (Mt. 3, 12), particolarmente appropriati per il sec. XIII e nella prospettiva della salvezza. This paper offers the analysis of Carmina Burana (CB) 93a (Cum…
