IST Versus PDE: A Comparative Study
2015
We survey and compare, mainly in the two-dimensional case, various results obtained by IST and PDE techniques for integrable equations. We also comment on what can be predicted from integrable equations on non integrable ones.
Gustava Kluča diskurss Latvijas mākslas kultūras mantojumā: Rīgai - Eiropas kultūras galvaspilsētai - veltīto masu mediju materiālu analīze
2020
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir atklāt Gustava Kluča – izcilas personības - mākslas kolekciju kultūras mantojuma diskursu Eiropas kultūras galvaspilsētai Rīgai veltīto masu mediju materiālos. Teorētiskajā daļā tiek aplūkotas idejas par pagātnes interpretāciju, kultūras mantojuma procesiem un praksi, kā arī tiek skaidrota muzeja definīcija, muzeja misija un konstruktīvisma definīcija. Tiek apskatīta latviešu mākslinieku darbība ārpus Latvijas ̶ Padomju Krievijā 20.gs. 20.–30. gados, Kluča personība Latvijai un latviešiem, un viņa radošā mantojuma kolekcijas izveidošana Latvijā. Empīriskajā daļā pēc R. Vodakas (Ruth Wodak) piedāvātās diskursa vēsturiskās metodes (discourse-historical approach) tiek…
Finding an egg in a haystack: variation in chemical cue use by egg parasitoids of herbivorous insects
2023
Egg parasitoids of herbivorous insects use an interplay of short- and long-range chemical cues emitted by hosts and host plants to find eggs to parasitize. Volatile compounds that attract egg parasitoids can be identified via behavioral assays and used to manipulate parasitoid behavior in the field for biological control of herbivorous pests. However, how and when a particular cue will be used varies over the life of an individual, as well as at and below species level. Future research should expand taxonomic coverage to explore variation in chemical cue use in more natural, dynamic settings. More nuanced understanding of the variability of egg parasitoid host-finding strategies will aid in…
Assessment of a geological model by surface wave analyses
2016
A set of horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) and multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) measurements, carried out in the Altavilla Milicia (Sicily) area, is analyzed to test a geological model of the area. Statistical techniques have been used in different stages of the data analysis, to optimize the reliability of the information extracted from geophysical measurements. In particular, cluster analysis algorithms have been implemented to select the time windows of the microseismic signal to be used for calculating the spectral ratio H/V and to identify sets of spectral ratio peaks likely caused by the same underground structures. Using results of reflection seismic lines, ty…
A multidisciplinary non-invasive approach in geoarchaeology conducted on the archaeological area of Selinunte
2019
Southwestern Sicily is an area of infrequent seismic activity. Only an earthquake occurred in the Belice valley on 13 January 1968 is reported in the historic earthquake catalogues (see e.g. [1]) as severe event, that is characterized by moderate-high energy (M=6.5) and significant epicentral and local macroseismic intensities (Io=X and I=VII-VIII of the MCS scale). Nevertheless, some studies (e.g. [2]) suggest that probably at least two earthquakes struck this area, between the fourth century B.C. and the early Middle Ages, with energy able to damage and produce collapse in some temples of Selinunte. In this framework, we propose the use of non-invasive approaches in geoarchaeology for det…
Near surface seismostratigraphic modelling of the Bandita plain in Palermo town (Italy) from integra-ted analysis of HVSR and stratigraphic data
2016
The Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) noise method (Nakamura, 1989) is nowadays widely used to estimate the resonance frequencies of geological structures (Bonnefoy-Claudet, 2006). However, often HVSR is also used to obtain information on the depth of the seismic bedrock and on thickness and seismic velocity of the process overburden deposits, using inversion techniques of the H/V curve (Fäh et al., 2003). This nevertheless produce results with large uncertainty intervals of parameters, and then must be necessarily constrained by detailed stratigraphic information. An application of HVSR inversion is presented in order to verify the effectiveness of this technique for purposes of…
Seismic microzonation by means of cluster analysis
2019
The identification of areas with uniform behaviour in seismic perspective is a very complex task that involves the simultaneous assessment of many parameters. In this paper we propose an automatic procedure for the seismic microzonation based on cluster analysis and performed by means of an agglomerative hierarchical algorithm. It exploits a proximity matrix specifically defined on the parameters space and the average linkage criteria. The procedure has been used to carry out the expedite seismic microzonation of some high seismic hazard areas, only using the data inferred by the extensive application of the HVSR technique. The results of the clustering procedures have been assessed from a …

Pasakainās realitātes analīze Hajao Mijadzaki animācijas filmās
2015
Bakalaura darba tēma ir "Pasakainās realitātes analīze Hajao Mijadzaki animācijas filmās". Darba uzdevums ir izanalizēt trīs Mijadzaki režisētās filmas: "Kiki’s delivery service", "Spirited away" un "Howl’s moving castle" ar mērķi noskaidrot, kādu vēstījumu tās komunicē, kādas universālas tēmas ir skartas un vērtības tiek cilātas; izanalizēt filmas personāžu nestereotipiskus tēlus; izpētīt izdomātās realitātes vidi. Pētniecības metodes ietver sevī naratīva un semiotisko analīzi. Dziļai naratīva izpētei tika izmantoti Todorova pieci naratīva līmeņi, interpretēta Labova shēma, ka arī Barta naratīva notikumu klasifikācija. Stāstījuma varoņu izpētei tika izmantota Propa pasaku personāžu klasifi…
