Analysis

The score for Alfred Hitchcock’s Marnie (1964) features three main themes, as well as several subsidiary motifs closely related to the main themes. I examine how the complex relationship between the characters is reflected in a network of motivic connections. The music also serves to emphasize Hitchcock’s use of recurring visual motifs that gradually escalate in intensity. The music that accompanies these visual points of correspondence amplifies their teleological trajectory through a process of registral, orchestrational, and dynamic expansion, and thus plays an important role in helping to articulate the overall dramatic structure of the film.

Outside the Frame: A Critical Analysis of Urban Image Surveys Phoebe Crisman Aided by digital technology, designers and planners are making ever greater use of photographic images to depict and envision proposals for urban change. Yet, even as such presentations have become increasingly central to community planning efforts, the methods for employing photographs and their precise construction have not been adequately analyzed. Discussing the new reliance on imaging techniques in architecture, Cambridge Professor Andrew Saint recently noted, “the long-term challenge for the architectural pro- fession…is to ride this exciting, undisciplined, licentious, and dangerous beast, to control this irresponsible lust for image that pervades our culture.” 1 Several imaging methods have gained widespread cur- rency in the design of public places. This essay specifi- cally examines what have become known as urban image surveys. The inclusive and participatory intentions of Above: +6.1 This mixed-u...

Background: While many randomised controlled trials have been conducted on multivitamins, to our knowledge no qualitative research exploring the subjective experience of taking a multivitamin during a clinical trial has been reported. Methods: Semi-structured and open-ended written questions were incorporated into a 16-week double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel groups trial of once-daily multivitamin administration. At the final study visit (week 16), three open-ended questions were posed to elucidate any positive, ...

Intense debate rages over the transparency and efficiency of investor-state arbitration. In contention is whether national courts should displace investment arbitration administered by the International Center for Investment Arbitration (ICSID). How this debate is resolved will significantly impact on states across the globe, their public interests and investors.This manuscript scrutinizes this debate and recommends how to resolve it.

Two still-life paintings were scientifically examined in order to gain insights about Dutch painter Jan van Huysum's (1682-1749) purportedly secretive paintings techniques, comparing the actual works to information obtained in the few available historical technical sources. Surface investigations included macroscopic and microscopic examination, infrared reflectography and x-radiography, while material characterization of the ground, organic and inorganic pigments and binding media was carried out with a range of non-destructive and destructive analytical techniques. The belief that the two works were an original pair of pendant paintings was disproved due to substantial technical differences in the wood support, ground layers and use of yellow pigment. It was also found that Van Huysum's use of newly developed pigments (Prussian blue, Naples yellow) had lead to changes in his painting technique, which no longer corresponded to those described in the period's manuals, an...

Various applications of computer graphics, (like animation, scientific visualization, and virtual reality) involve the manipulation of geometric models. They are generally represented by triangular meshes due to its wide acceptance to process on rendering systems. The need of realism and high visual fidelity and the latest advances on scanning devices has increased complexity and size of triangular meshes. The original 3D model gets modified because of activities like approximation, transmission, processing and storage etc. Mostly the modification occurs due to simplification approaches which primarily use geometric distance metric as their simplification criteria. But it is hard to measure a small distance error accurately whereas other geometric or appearance error (like high curvature, thin region, color, texture, normals and volumetric) has greater importance. Hence it is essential to understand the applicability of
various parameters to evaluate the quality of 3D model. This paper briefly surveys the various errors analysis techniques, error metrics and tools to assess the quality of 3D mesh models.

In dem Beitrag werden die Möglichkeiten und Erkenntnisgewinne einer transdisziplinären Verschränkung der analytischen Kategorien "Raum" und "Diskurs", insbesondere für die kulturwissenschaftliche Stadt- und Öffentlichkeitsforschung, ausgelotet. Ausgangspunkt dafür ist eine gemeinsame Forschungserfahrung der Autorinnen, die interdisziplinäre Ethnografie politischer Raumaneignungen in Mexiko-Stadt, bei der sich die jeweiligen Spezialisierungen (ethnografische Raumforschung bei WILDNER, semiotische Diskursanalyse bei HUFFSCHMID) kreuzten. Diese "Kreuzung" wird hier zunächst in ihren konzeptionellen Prämissen nachvollzogen und anschließend nach Lerneffekten für die analytische Praxis befragt. Ausgangspunkt dafür ist die Annahme der gegenseitigen Durchdrungenheit von Räumlichkeit und Diskursivität: kein Raum (im Sinne von LEFEBVRE) kann ohne seine diskursive Konfiguration gedacht werden, Diskurs (im Sinne FOUCAULTs) wiederum ereignet sich nicht im "luft...

In the developing world, advanced building construction technology plays vital role. In the present work the construction of multistoried R.C.C. building with the help of NISA software to match the construction technology with the pace of the world has been chosen. The behavior of R.C.C. building subjected to earthquake forces has been obtained. The IS 1893:2000 (Part I) for R.C.C. building in zone III is used for the better performance of building during and after earthquake. The results obtained for different three cases i.e. normal loading, earthquake loading and earthquake loading applied to braced and unbraced building.

As you would expect, one of the India's largest and densely populated states, Utter Pradesh's city, Allahabad, is holy religious place, educational hub and historical but it is also noisy, polluted, crowded and typically chaotic. The streets of the city are congested and encroached by other activities. Bus services in particular have deteriorated and their efficiency of service have been declining thus persons turn to individual vehicle because of this the number of vehicle in the streets is increasing. This result not only restricts the flow of traffic, but also puts in danger the road user's life. The total no of accident as well as related fatality in the city is increasing over the year. This paper attempts to analyze the road accidents in Allahabad using annual data from the year 2012-2017.The remainder of the paper is organized as follows-section-1 provides an overview of road accident scenario in Allahabad, Utter Pradesh and India. Section 2 deals with the cause of accident, type of accident and black-spot of Allahabad District. In section 3 deals the questionnaire and analysis of survey. Finally sections 4 summarize the report with result and future scope of the study. The methodology adopted includes collecting the secondary data from the concerned authority, conducting physical surveys (primary data) and analyzing the data for accident prediction model by logistic regression method. Regression analysis also allows us to compare the effects of variables measured on different scales. Accident black spots are usually defined as places of the road (relatively) high crash potentials. Allahabad District has 98 identified black spots out of 98 black spots, 71 are Diwakar Mishra, Dr. R. K. Pandey and Atul http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 83 editor@iaeme.com located within the city limits while trans-Ganga and trans-Yamuna areas account for 16 and 11 accident prone areas respectively.
