Framing in Crisis. Literature and Optical Devices in the Age of Hoffmann

2016

This book analyzes the interplay of gazes, optical devices and images in literature. Following the developments of Visual Culture studies, literary theory has expanded its original field of investigation and addresses, beyond the traditional relationship between the verbal and the visual, the influence that gazes, optical devices and images can have on literary texts. This research tries to define the literary lives of the scopic regimes of modernity: the gazes of English early modern women's writing, the optical devices in German literature between Classicism and Romanticism, and the images of the mineral world in modern French aesthetics.

Attempt to Construct a Scale for the Measurement of the Effect of Suggestion on Perception1

1975

A scale based on experimental methods has been prepared for measuring the effects of indirect suggestion upon perception. Three categories are included: (1) distorting the interpretation of presented stimuli, (2) inducing sense-impressions in the absence of adequate stimuli, and (3) producing insensitivity to stimuli that are objectively present. Test situations were designed for tactual, auditory, and visual perception. The scale was tested on a sample of 112 students from the 11th and 12th grades of a large city high school (58 girls and 54 boys). Most of the item intercorrelations were positive and many significantly so. Eliminating the 9 lowest items of 21 left 12 for a reduced matrix,…

Retorica dello spazio: il caso della street art

2014

La street art è un fenomeno capillare che si dispiega negli spazi urbani con stili e forme diverse. L’intervento prende in esame alcune operazioni artistiche analizzando le strategie retoriche utilizzate. Ricorrendo a diversi regimi di visibilità e utilizzando l’apostrofe, l’iperbole o ancora il camouflage gli artisti creano narrazioni imprevedibili e sollecitano continuamente l’attenzione del fruitore. Gli interventi di street art possono così considerarsi come campi di manovra che instaurano nello spazio urbano conflitti, sfide o complicità con i fruitori e in tal senso si rivela opportuno soffermarsi sui casi di riscrittura o di cancellazione delle opere.

Modelling analysis of centroid curves of olfactory habituation in humans

2020

Indexation en cours.; International audience; Previously published experiments established the time-course of olfactory habituation in humans, and extracted 3 centroid curves from clustering analysis that reflected high, middle and low habituation. The aim of the current theoretical study was to further analyse these previous experimental data by developing a mathematical modelling analysis designed for fitting the 3 curves from a general equation. After adjusting equation parameters for each curve, fitting equation outcomes on experimental data yielded high correlation coefficients of 0.9997 – 0.9995 – 0.9962, respectively. A model-based interpretation of olfactory-habituation centroid cur…

Biological nitrogen fixation for the 21st century

1998

The biodiversity of nitrogen-fixing organisms is huge. Taxonomic and phylogenetic research is needed to structure this diversity, to facilitate communication among scientists, and to increase our understanding of the evolution and biology of diazotrophs. Molecular tools for taxonomic and biodiversity studies of diazotrophic rhizobia, frankiae, cyanobacteria and bacilli are presented in sections 2 to 5. Sections 6 to 9 focus on problems with genus and species assignment.

Tentative de comparaison de l'équité des systèmes éducatifs français et américain

2002

Hier werden drei Gerechtigkeitsprinzipien definiert, mit deren Hilfe versucht wird, das Gerechtigkeitsniveau des französischen und des amerikanischen Bildungssystems miteinander zu vergleichen, d.h. zu entscheiden, welches der beiden Systeme die Konkretisierung jedes dieser Prinzipien am stärksten begünstigt. Dabei wird berücksichtigt, dass sie durch die Rahmenbedingungen in den beiden Ländern - insbesondere die sozialen Ungleichheiten - mehr oder weniger stark beeinflusst werden können. Die drei Prinzipien lauten: Jeder muss bei Schulabgang über minimale Kompetenzen verfügen; die individuellen Kompetenzungleichheiten dürfen nicht das gleichberechtigte gesellschaftliche Miteinander beeinträ…
