Defining Comic Art: An Onerous Task

Definiowanie komizmu jest z wielu powodów zadaniem trudnym. Po pierwsze, nie jest łatwo wyznaczyć granice zasięgu komizmu, jako że wykorzystuje on różnorakie środki, przybierając postać różnych form, gatunków i stylów. Po drugie, opisywaniu typów komizmu często towarzyszą powtórzenia, nieścisłości i nakładanie się definicji. Po trzecie, zadanie to jest utrudnione przez odwieczne przenikanie się różnych typów komizmu. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie poglądów badaczy i komików od lat zastanawiających się nad różnicami między komiksem, kreskówką, karykaturą, rysunkiem satyrycznym i innymi postaciami komizmu

The Missionary Press of Asia, 1550 - 1860

Nearly any student ofthe history ofprinting in the West knows ofthe close linksthatwere forged between Christianity and the early presses. They know that Gutenberg'sfirst major work was a Bible and that the first publications that came off many presses in the Christianized West were religious books and tracts. But what has remained relatively obscure is the impact ofChristianity upon the establishmentofthe firstpresses in many non-Christian nations. Asia is an example. In countryafter country in Asia, Catholic and Protestant missionaries were responsible for setting up the first printing presses and/or publishing the first periodicals. (...) ZusammenfassungFast jeder, der sich mit der Geschichte des Druckereiwesens beschäftigt, weiß, daß hier enge Bande zwischen Christentum und den frühen Druckereien bestehen. Gutenbergs erster Druck war eine Bibel, und viele Erstdrucke im christlichen Westen galten religiösen Büchern und Traktaten. Was dabei allerdings verborgen blieb, ist die Bedeutung des Christentums ftir den Beginn des Druckerei- und Pressewesens in vielen nichtchristliehen Ländern. Daftir ist Asien ein Beispiel.Katholische und evangelische Missionare haben in einem Land nach dem anderen als erste Druckereien errichtet und Zeitschriften begonnen. (...)

Chauffeur braking

An experienced driver will `feather' the brakes so as to unwind the suspension compliance and stop the vehicle with only just enough torque in the brakes to hold the vehicle stationary on any gradient, or against the residual torque from an automatic transmission’s torque converter. An optimal stopping problem that minimises the total jerk was formulated and solved. This model was extended by including a linear relationship between the brake pressure and the acceleration of the car where the coefficients are estimated by linear regression. Finally, a Kalman filter estimates the state of the car using the tone wheel
