Collezioni visive negli spazi urbani: i luoghi della street art a Parigi | Visual Collections in Urban Spaces: the Sites of Street Art in Paris
2017
With its different forms, styles and ways of execution, Street Art is one of the visual culture languages that are now increasingly present in urban spaces. From a fleeting action that was often accomplished in an unauthorized manner, it has also established itself as an authorized practice, thus becoming an institutional instrument and a new way of visual redefinition of certain urban areas. The concept of Street Art is by no means unitary, but it could rather be seen as a complex and stratified communicative phenomenon that redefines itself by way of its specific modes of intervention in urban spaces. Starting from a series of observations and micro-analyses conducted in two urban areas o…
“I’d take a p in the gutter over Julia Roberts any time”: comparing professional and amateur translations of word play in How I met your mother
2012
Suomalaisina olemme tottuneet siihen, että suuressa osassa televisio-ohjelmistamme on tekstitykset. Jos kielitaitomme on hyvä, huomaamme kuitenkin usein virheitä tekstien käännöksissä. Huolimattomuusvirheiden lisäksi kääntäjä on saattanut käsittää jotain väärin tai hänellä on ollut muuten hankaluuksia kääntää jokin tietty repliikki. Erityisen mieleenpainuvia käännöksiä huomaa etenkin komediasarjoissa, joissa hankalasti käännettävät sanaleikit ovat suuressa osassa. Sanaleikkejä käännettäessä jokaisella kääntäjällä on omat käännösstrategiansa ja tämä vuoksi yksikään käännös ei ole täysin samanlainen. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena onkin tarkastella sanaleikkien kääntämistä kahden eri käännöks…
Lenguaje tabú y traducción audiovisual: estudio descriptivo de la subtitulación al español de la serie Orange is the new black
2017
La subtitulación del lenguaje tabú y ofensivo es un ámbito relativamente poco explorado que presenta ciertos desafíos para el traductor. Las reducidas dimensiones de la pantalla y las necesidades de sincronía con la imagen y una cómoda velocidad de lectura para el espectador obligan a los subtituladores a reducir (condensar) la extensión de los subtítulos, por lo que las palabras y las expresiones tabú son tendentes a eliminarse. Esta reducción ocasiona una pérdida de información sobre el personaje y priva al público extranjero de la oportunidad de conocer estos elementos lingüísticos tan vinculados a la cultura de origen de la producción audiovisual y su sistema de creencias y costumbres. …
In situ measurements of background aerosol and subvisible cirrus in the tropical tropopause region
2002
[1] In situ aerosol measurements were performed in the Indian Ocean Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) region during the Airborne Polar Experiment-Third European Stratospheric Experiment on Ozone (APE-THESEO) field campaign based in Mahe, Seychelles between 24 February and 6 March 1999. These are measurements of particle size distributions with a laser optical particle counter of the Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe (FSSP)-300 type operated on the Russian M-55 high-altitude research aircraft Geophysica in the tropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere up to altitudes of 21 km. On 24 and 27 February 1999, ultrathin layers of cirrus clouds were penetrated by Geophysica directly…
Electronic shell structures in bare and protected metal nanoclusters
2016
This short review discusses the concept of the electronic shell structure in the context of metal nanoclusters. Electronic shell structure is a natural consequence of quantization of fermionic states in a quantum confinement, where the symmetry of the confining potential creates energetically close-lying sets of states that reflect the symmetry of the potential. It was introduced in cluster physics in early 1980s and initially influenced greatly by the related model of nuclear shell structure from 1950’s. Three application areas are discussed consisting of free gas phase clusters, clusters supported by insulating oxides or oxide thin films, and clusters that are synthesized by wet chemistry…
DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE METROPOLITAN AREAS USING A MULTI-SCALE DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM
2012
A sustainable and sustaining planning strategy is globally important for metropolitan areas. Sustainable planning addresses the development of strategies to reduce the use of resources, increase economic efficiency and improve integration of social aspects. In contrast, splinter development (e.g. urban sprawl) involves damage to nature and generation of an increasing volume of traffic (these are the main criticisms following a study by Newman and Kenworthy (1989) on the relationship between settlement density and energy consumption). Interestingly, the overly compact city also has this effect as it may generate traffic flows for accessing green and leisure areas, or changes of residence due…
Stratégie d'aménagement pour le développement durable d'aires métropolitaines par un système multi-scalaire d'aide à la décision : l'exemple de Vienne
2012
A sustainable and sustaining planning strategy is globally important for metropolitan areas. Sustainable planning addresses the development of strategies to reduce the use of resources, increase economic efficiency and improve integration of social aspects (e.g. pedestrian-friendly environments, well-balanced public and private transport modes, efficient street networks, land use, movement economy; access for all to jobs, retail, services; healthcare, culture and leisure). In contrast, splinter development (e.g. urban sprawl) involves damage to nature and generation of an increasing volume of traffic (these are the main criticisms following a study by Newman and Kenworthy (1989) on the rela…

T9+HUD: Physical Keypad and HUD can Improve Driving Performance while Typing and Driving
2016
We introduce T9+HUD, a text entry method designed to decrease visual distraction while driving and typing. T9+HUD combines a physical 3x4 keypad on the steering wheel with a head-up-display (HUD) for projecting output on the windshield. Previous work suggests this may be a visually less demanding way to type while driving than the popular case which requires shifts of visual attention away from the road. We present a prototype design and report first results from a controlled evaluation in a driving simulator. While driving, the T9+HUD text entry rate was equal compared to a dashboard-mounted touchscreen device, but it reduced lane deviations by 70%. Furthermore, there was no significant di…
Icons: Visual representation to enrich requirements engineering work
2013
Adapting icons in requirements engineering can support the multifaceted needs of stakeholders. Conventional ap- proaches to RE are mainly highlighted in diagrams. This paper introduces icon-based information as a way to represent ideas and concepts in the requirements engineering domain. We report on icon artifacts that support requirements engi- neering work such as priority types, status states and stakeholder kinds. We evaluate how users interpret meanings of icons and the efficacy of icon prototypes shaped to represent those requirements attributes. Our hypothesis is whether practitioners can recognize the icons’ meaning in terms of their functional representation. According to the empi…
