Magnetometry optimisation in unshielded environments

Optically pumped magnetometry in unshielded environments is potentially of great advantage in a wide range of surveying and security applications. Optimisation of OPM modulation schemes and feedback in the Mx scheme offers enhanced sensitivity through noise cancellation and decoherence suppression. The work presented demonstrates capability for softwarecontrolled optimisation of OPM performance in ambient fields in the 0.5G range. Effects on magnetometer bandwidth and sensitivity are discussed.

Backstory three

The Backstory series of unique "oral histories" chronicles the lives and careers of notable Hollywood screenwriters - in their own words. Backstory: Interviews with Screenwriters of Hollywood's Golden Age focused on the early sound era and the 1930s. Backstory 2 featured Interviews with Screenwriters of the 1940s and 1950s. Backstory 3 takes up the history of American screenwriting in the 1960s, through the experiences of fourteen key scenarists. These lively interviews, conducted by Pat McGilligan and others, feature Jay Presson Allen, George Axelrod, Walter Bernstein, Horton Foote, Walon Green, Charles B. Griffith, John Michael Hayes, Ring Lardner Jr., Wendell Mayes, Irving Ravetch and Harriet Frank Jr., Arnold Schulman, Stirling Silliphant, and Terry Southern.The series has proven useful and edifying for film students, scholars, and historians, for screenwriters and other professionals, and for film buffs in general. Applauded by reviewers and named among the "100 essential film books" by a Los Angeles Times -appointed panel, it is cited often and quoted in many film histories

L’acteur comme auteur : James Cagney, Ronald Reagan et Clint Eastwood

La théorie du cinéma d’auteur, quand elle a été formulée il y a une cinquantaine d’années, a révolutionné la pensée critique et a ouvert d’innombrables portes. Aujourd’hui, cependant, cette approche s’avère trop limitée lorsqu’il s’agit de déchiffrer la forme et le sens des films. Qu’on me comprenne bien. Non seulement je reste en un sens un auteuriste pur et dut, mais je considère que, grâce aux analyses pionnières des cinéastes et cinéphiles français (particulièrement les révolutionnaires d..

Clint and the empty chair

The performance of the year 2012 came from a movie star who is more often lauded for his persona than for his subtlety or genius as an actor. But it wasn’t acting in a movie. The performance was shown on television and now and forever after plays on the Internet. This star’s persona is as beloved by many critics and scholars as by the general public, yet it is often simplified and misunderstood. That is one reason why Clint Eastwood’s performance before the Republican National Convention st..

Back story 2

"Backstory" is the screenwriter's term for what happens in a plot before the screen story begins. In this companion volume to McGilligan's widely praised Backstory: Interviews with Screenwriters of Hollywood's Golden Age , fourteen studio scribes active in later decades rail and reminisce about their fifty-plus years of inventing and scripting movies. Richard Brooks, Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon, Arthur Laurents, Ben Maddow, Stewart Stern, Daniel Taradash, and Philip Yordan are among the distinguished figures included.The 1940s were a period of transition for the motion picture industry, from an era of hope and glory and the upheavals of World War II to a postwar era of caution and confusion. The 1950s brought a great decline in the number of films produced and led to the extinction of that peculiar creature, the contract writer.The survivors of Hollywood's most productive years remain wonderfully talkative, however. In this lively collection of interviews they contribute useful writing tips, radical correctives to screen history and industry folklore, and just plain fascinating gossip. As a whole, the interviews provide a compelling biographical close-up of an entire generation of men and women whose talent, vision, and tenacity were critical to the institution we know as "Hollywood.
