Cows do not eat publications

2012

International audience; Scientific journals are facing an increasing competition directly impacting publishers and editorial boards. In addition, access to scientific information and reading patterns have deeply changed. From 2003 the journal Agronomy for Sustainable Development (ASD) has adapted its editorial policy to this highly competitive and moving environment in order to stand out and improve its impact (1). The scope, language and title of the journal were modified. A preselection step was introduced, several calls for reviews were made and spin-off books were published (2). Particular attention was given to abstracts, titles, colour figures and photos. A sister book series named Su…

Delineating Aspects of Understanding Eigentheory through Assessment Development

2018

International audience; In this report, we share insights we have gained from developing an assessment for documenting students' understanding of eigentheory. We explain the literature and theory that influenced the assessment's development and share question examples. We frame our results in terms of three eigentheory settings (Ax = λx, (A - λI)x = 0, and eigenspaces) and four interpretations (numeric, algebraic, geometric, and verbal). Results from our analysis include students' reasoning being influenced by setting, insights into students' struggle with understanding eigenspaces, and the importance of making connections between and across various interpretations.

So the Horizon Line Vanishes': Landscape and Abstraction in England from the 1930s to the 1950s

2010

This paper explores the tension between abstraction and figuration in English landscape painting from the 1930s to the 1950s, a transitional period marked by opposition between these two semiotic systems. The tension between tradition and new departure runs through the paintings and texts by John Piper and Peter Lanyon.

Implicit learning of non-local musical rules : A comment on Kuhn and Dienes

2009

International audience; In a recent study, G. Kuhn and Z. Dienes (2005) reported that participants previously exposed to a set of musical tunes generated by a biconditional grammar subsequently preferred new tunes that respected the grammar over new ungrammatical tunes. Because the study and test tunes did not share any chunks of adjacent intervals, this result may be construed as straightforward evidence for the implicit learning of a structure that was only governed by nonlocal dependency rules. It is shown here that the grammar modified the statistical distribution of perceptually salient musical events, such as the probability that tunes covered an entire octave. When the influence of t…

Geometric Inverse Problems

2023

This up-to-date treatment of recent developments in geometric inverse problems introduces graduate students and researchers to an exciting area of research. With an emphasis on the two-dimensional case, topics covered include geodesic X-ray transforms, boundary rigidity, tensor tomography, attenuated X-ray transforms and the Calderón problem. The presentation is self-contained and begins with the Radon transform and radial sound speeds as motivating examples. The required geometric background is developed in detail in the context of simple manifolds with boundary. An in-depth analysis of various geodesic X-ray transforms is carried out together with related uniqueness, stability, reconstruc…

Obraz abstrakcyjny jako specyficzne dzieło literackie

2017

The thesis o f this article is a claim th at on abstract pain tin g is a literary work of a p a rticu la r kind. In this theory, on co n stru ctio n of a literary work an d on co n stru ctio n of a representational painting, Ingarden points to th e ir layered composition, simultaneously denying this ąu ality to abstract paintings. Indeed, an abstract p a in tin g lacks layers which are characteristic of representational p aintings, but it has a sound - meaning bilayer typical o f a literary work yet expressed by different means. The lack o f time dimension and literary theme, however, causes th at such a work of a rt is similar to ancient philosophical and religious treaties.

Teoria malarstwa abstrakcyjnego a Platońska koncepcja sztuki

2016

Tezą artykułu jest twierdzenie, że w założeniach teoretycznych malarstwa abstrakcyjnego odnajdujemy Platońską koncepcję sztuki. Jest to interesująca zbieżność, tym bardziej że jest ona niezależna, nie wynika z inspiracji abstrakcjonistów filozofią Platona, czy odwoływania się do jego koncepcji sztuki. Także Platon nie zakładał rozwoju takiego kierunku w sztuce, a mimo to u podstaw teoretycznych malarstwa abstrakcyjnego odnajdujemy te same prawdziwościowe, poznawcze założenia co w Platońskiej koncepcji sztuki. Określają one zarówno jej istotę, jak i funkcję oraz wartość. Stanowią także wyraz negatywnego stosunku Platona do malarstwa naśladowczego.

The skill of abstracting and concretizing as a det erminant of teacher’s competences in the sphere of forming mathematical notions in pupils of young…

2013

The person who shapes children’s attitudes towards the given subject and their manners of functioning within the mathematical space is the teacher of early education. Therefore, the latter should display a high standard of mathematical culture, as well as hold mathematical competences on a suitable level. Abstracting and concretizing are among the most important cognitive processes which are indispensable to form and develop mathematical notions. The paper is an attempt at answering the question whether prospective teachers of integrated education possess this vital-from the point of view of didactics-skill.
