Trans-active cinema production in search of urban schizophrenia

Thesis (M.S.V.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1997.Includes bibliographical references (p. 42-45).On December 15, 1996, from 1:30 to 4:30, cinem-a-crobatic was formally presented at Columbus Park, New York City. The park is located at the intersection of China town and the Federal Court district. cinem-a-crobatic attempts to amplify the complex and shifting relationship between the urban landscape and the experience of its inhabitants, through the introduction of a new form of urban cinema production. Unlike most conventional cinematic productions, cinem-a-crobatic is a cinema-production-like "play." Its participants are the production crew and the public who interact with the crew at the site of production. The production crew consists of a director, a camera person and actors. I have also included a person who interviews the director and actors to question their motives behind each scene. The roles of the production crew are interchanged among the participants. cinem-a-crobatic not only stimulates new possibilities of cinematic story tel ling by integrating the realities of urban life as a structural basis for its narrative construction, it also attempts to serve as a new method for generating social interaction. Central to the production of cinem-a-crobatic was the use of a new video device that was specifically developed for the project . It was mounted on a standard film dolly and functioned as a nomadic instrument which was pushed around the park by the participants. It functioned both as a sculptural matrix for the production and as a visual lure for drawing the public into its performative arena. This device recorded, edited, and projected the captured video image on the surface of a transparent glass screen that simultaneously framed the real landscape. This thesis text is in two parts. The first part describes the project in detail, including a brief history of how the project evolved, who the participants were, and the nature and use of the video device. The second part discusses the autobiographical and philosophical framework for the project.by Iki Nakagawa.M.S.V.S

PENGARUH FAST INTERVAL TRAINING DAN SLOW INTERVAL TRAINING PADA LACTATE THRESHOLDDAN PERFORMA LARI 1500 METER

Tujuan penelitian untuk menguji pengaruh dari dua bentuk latihan interval terhadap lactate threshold (LT) dan waktu tempuh lari 1500 m. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuasi eksperimen, pengambilan sampel dilakukan melalui teknik sampling jenuh, 12 pelari remaja (6 putra dan 6 putri) dikelompokkan secara matching, pada kelompok latihan interval durasi 30 detik (fast interval training) dengan 4-5 pengulangan dan 4 menit istirahat pada intensitas 120% AV (Average 1500m running velocity) dan kelompok latihan interval durasi ≥ 2 menit (slow interval training) dengan 6-10 pengulangan dan 3 menit istirahat pada intensitas 110% dari LT, data penelitian diperoleh melalui the modified conconi test dan tes lari 1500 m. Hasil pengolahan dan analisis data menunjukkan ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara fast interval training dan slow interval training terhadap LT (p=0.029<0.05) dan waktu tempuh lari 1500m (p=0.004<0.05). LT berkorelasi dengan waktu tempuh lari 1500 m pada kedua kelompok latihan (fast interval training r = -0.967dan slow interval training r = -0.942). Temuan pada penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa slow interval training memberikan pengaruh yang lebih besar terhadap LT dan waktu tempuh lari 1500mdibandingkan dengan fast interval training. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa slow interval training merupakan strategi yang efektif dan efisien dalam meningkatkan ambang batas laktat(LT) dan memperbaiki waktu tempuh lari 1500 m untuk periode latihan selama 4 minggu.----------------------------------------------------------This study examined the effect of two different of interval training on the lactate threshold (LT) and1500m time trial performance. The research method usedquasi-experimental,12runners (6 boys and 6 girls) are grouped together then assigned to the training group interval duration of 30 seconds (fast interval training) with 4-5 repetitions and 4 minute rest at 120% intensity AV (Average 1500m running velocity) andinterval training duration ≥ 2 minutes (slow interval training) with 6-10 repetitions and 3 minutes rest at 110% intensity of LT.The measured variables were by the modified conconi test and1500m time trial. The results of this study showed that there were significant differences between fast interval training and slow interval training on LT (p = 0.029 <0.05) and 1500 mtime trial(p = 0.004 <0.05). LT correlated with 1500mtime trial in both training groups (fast interval training r = -0.967 and slow interval training r = -0.942). The main findingsindicate that slow interval training has a greater effect on LT and1500m time trial performance compared to fast interval training. In conclusion, this study showed that slow interval training is an effective and efficient strategy in increasing the lactate threshold (LT) and improving the1500m time trial performance for a 4-week training period

Measure of Departure from Marginal Average Point-Symmetry for Two-Way Contingency Tables

For the analysis of two-way contingency tables with ordered categories, Yamamoto, Tahata, Suzuki, and Tomizawa (2011) considered a measure to represent the degree of departure from marginal point-symmetry. The maximum value of the measure cannot distinguish two kinds of marginal complete asymmetry with respect to the midpoint. A measure is proposed which can distinguish two kinds of marginal asymmetry with respect to the midpoint. It also gives large-sample confidence interval for the proposed measure

Play face in Japanese macaques reflects the sender's play motivation

Animals often initiate social interactions by exchanging signals. Especially when initiating amicable interactions, signaling one’s friendly stance toward others in advance may be important to avoid being misunderstood as having hostile intentions. We used data on dyadic play fighting in a group of Japanese macaques, Macaca fuscata, to examine the function of “play face” at the opening of a play session. We found no support for the previously proposed hypothesis that play face expression is likelier before entering risky situations (e.g., before gaining an undue advantage over the partner) to avoid being misunderstood. The results showed that play face expression was likelier in male juveniles before initiating play with other males than in females before initiating play with males or other females and that juveniles were likelier to express play face before initiating play with others closer in age. As male Japanese macaques play more frequently than females, and juveniles prefer to play with individuals closer in age, play face expression before play initiation may reflect the individual’s motivation for subsequent play interactions. This interpretation is supported by our observation that play bouts lasted longer when initiated with bidirectional play face by both participants than when initiated without play face. We also argued that since there was no tendency that play face was likelier to be expressed toward individuals with low play propensity (e.g., females) or infrequent partners to play with (e.g., individuals more distant in age), Japanese macaques may not tactically deploy this signal to recruit reluctant partners

Synthesis and evaluation of a novel pyrenyl-appended triazole-based thiacalix[4]arene as a fluorescent sensor for Ag+ ion

New fluorescent chemosensors 1,3-alternate-1 and 2 with pyrenyl-appended triazole-based on thiacalix[4]arene were synthesized. The fluorescence spectra changes suggested that chemosensors 1 and 2 are highly selective for Ag+ over other metal ions by enhancing the monomer emission of pyrene in neutral solution. However, other heavy metal ions, such as Cu2+, and Hg2+ quench both the monomer and excimer emission of pyrene acutely. The 1H NMR results indicated that Ag+ can be selectively recognized by the triazole moieties on the receptors 1 and 2 together with the ionophoricity cavity formed by the two inverted benzene rings and sulfur atoms of the thiacalix[4]arene
