Hadid é mundialmente reconhecida por seus trabalhos na área da arquitetura, urbanismo e design, pelos quais recebeu diversos prêmios durante sua carreira. A arquiteta estudou na Architectural Association e conheceu obras de Kazimir Malevich por meio de seus professores Rem Koolhaas e Elia Zenghelis. Hadid iniciou uma conexão criativa com o projeto Malevich's Tektonik (1976-77), um trabalho que transportou uma obra de Malevich para o contexto arquitetônico de Londres. A partir deste projeto, a inspiração pelo artista começou a ser potencializada e demonstrada em seu pensamento criativo. Também foram inspirações para a arquiteta os artistas: Moholy-Nagy, El Lissitzky e Naum Gabo. Hadid utilizava desenhos e pinturas de características abstratas semelhantes às obras destes artistas em sua produção arquitetônica. Sendo assim, o objetivo desta dissertação é realizar uma interlocução entre os pensamentos criativos da arquiteta e dos quatro artistas que fizeram parte da Vanguarda Russa. Visto que o fazer arquitetônico de Hadid se realizava em paralelo a um fazer artístico (pinturas), utilizaremos para atingir o objetivo desta pesquisa uma montagem de imagens inspirada em Aby Warburg - historiador de arte alemão. Warburg desenvolveu o Atlas Mnemosyne nos anos de 1920 em Hamburgo, Alemanha. Ele realizou este trabalho para entender como o período da Antiguidade "sobreviv...

Hadid is widely recognized for her work in architecture, town planning and design, for which she received various awards throughout her career. During her time as a student at the Architectural Association School in London, she became familiarized with Kazimir Malevich's works through professors Rem Koolhaas and Elia Zenghelis. Hadid then initiated a creative connection with arts, and in Malevich's Tektonik (1976-77), she transported Malevich's work of art to the London's architectural context. After this project, Malevich's influence on her work became more evident, with some aspects surfacing in her creative process. Artists such as Moholy-Nagy, El Lissitzky and Naum Gabo also corroborated to her unique creative process. As she used drawings and paintings with abstract features similar to the works of these artists in her architectonic production. Therefore, the goal of this dissertation is to perform an interlocution between the architect's creative process and the four artists who were part of the Russian Avant-Guarde. Since Hadid's architectural rendering happened in parallel to her artistic work (i.e., paintings), we will use the Atlas Mnemosyne, a montage of images by Aby Warburg, to achieve the objective of this project. Warburg an art historian developed the Atlas Mnemosyne in the 1920s in Hamburg, Germany. He performed this work to underst... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) began observations in 2014 July. It pursues three core programs: the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2), Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA), and the Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). As well as its core program, eBOSS contains two major subprograms: the Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey (TDSS) and the SPectroscopic IDentification of ERosita Sources (SPIDERS). This paper describes the first data release from SDSS-IV, Data Release 13 (DR13). DR13 makes publicly available the first 1390 spatially resolved integral field unit observations of nearby galaxies from MaNGA. It includes new observations from eBOSS, completing the Sloan Extended QUasar, Emission-line galaxy, Luminous red galaxy Survey (SEQUELS), which also targeted variability-selected objects and X-ray-selected objects. DR13 includes new reductions of the SDSS-III BOSS data, improving the spectrophotometric calibration and redshift classification, and new reductions of the SDSS-III APOGEE-1 data, improving stellar parameters for dwarf stars and cooler stars. DR13 provides more robust and precise photometric calibrations. Value-added target catalogs relevant for eBOSS, TDSS, and SPIDERS and an updated red-clump catalog for APOGEE are also available. This paper describes the location and format of the data and provides references to important technical papers. The SDSS web site, http://www.sdss.org, provides links to the data, tutorials, examples of data access, and extensive documentation of the reduction and analysis procedures. DR13 is the first of a scheduled set that will contain new data and analyses from the planned similar to 6 yr operations of SDSS-IV.

Brain atlases have been created across species from flies to humans in order to obtain a better understanding of neuroanatomical morphology. Although these brain atlases allow for analysis of neuroanatomy they do not give insight about how the morphology adapt to fit challenges brought on by unique environments. Here I developed a brain atlas for Astyanax mexicanus, a species known to have populations that differ in various behaviors, to gain a better understanding about how populations of the same species, derived from different environments, evolve to be best suited for the challenges they face. By creating a brain atlas for adult surface fish and three populations of cavefish I was able to examine differences in neuroanatomical structures implicated in regulating behavior. My findings show significant differences in neuroanatomical regions known to regulate behavior. Along with these findings, the brain atlases created are a tool for researches to use and expand on in the future. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2019. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Maps and atlases are traditionally convenient documents for representing the surface of the earth. They provide an impression of spatial relationships and facilitate an appreciation of geographical and environmental characteristics. They are essential tools for creating an awareness of the world beyond the limits of our experience. Maps can also inform readers on the flow of cultural or economic influences, because they show localities in relation to their neighbours. Furthermore, they capture the reader's imagination by provoking the desire for adventure and exploration. Occasionally maps are also censored because they are an efficient means of indicating strategic features. This project concerns the historical and contemporary examples of communicating information visually by analysing a selection of conventional literary and visual sources, which informs the research. It includes graphic forms that present abundant data, for example, atlases and texts on the architectural history of Central Asia, Tibet, China and Japan. The studio works will examine illustration, draughtsmanship, rendering, and textual/visual imagery. The outcome will be an illustrated atlas of traditional architecture in the earthquake zones of Central Asia (Xinjiang), Tibet, China, Japan and related areas. The graphic format is used as a narrative for the communication of environmental, cultural and architectural data of the region. The atlas is also intended to present the subject in a holistic form in relation to environmental influences on the structures and materiality of buildings, and the broader field of history.

The economic competition between the Netherlands, France and England is documented in the atlases published in Amsterdam, Paris and London between 1500 and 1800. However, the relationship between mapping and economic processes remains mostly unexplored in the history of cartography. World-system theory has application to the history of cartography in the early modern period for identifying the linkages between cartography and long-term economic processes.This research analyzes the production of maps, specifically in world and maritime atlases, in these three cities as the geographic expression of the emergent capitalist world system in early modern Europe. The economic concepts of core and periphery as proposed by Immanuel Wallerstein are defined cartographically in the structural morphologies of Dutch, French and English atlases published in this period. Each country mapped itself as a core and such cartographic self-definitions reflect their individual geographic and economic contexts. The Netherlands and England created core atlases in the sixteenth century that evolved in support of business and transport as well as state interests. The French core atlas initiated at the end of the seventeenth century was a governmentally sponsored survey dedicated primarily toward state administration control. The Netherlands, Fance and England also mapped their continental and extra-European peripheries in world and maritime atlases. Dutch engagement in long-distance trade in agricultural commodities created world-system commodity chains of production. Dutch maritime atlases defined these networks of commercial opportunity for the first time. The creators of the first printed world atlases, Dutch cartographers also structured their productions of atlases as a commercial enterprise marketed toward an international clientele. Dutch maritime atlases were an important innovation and Amsterdam atlas publication dominated cartography in the seventeenth century. English publishers adopted Dutch innovations in map production and succeeded to dominance in printing atlases whose structural morphology embodies a world-system of commodity networks. The relationship of cartography to long-term economic processes is demonstrated by the Dutch and English atlases. Early modern world atlases portray the cartographic world-view of core and periphery. The maritime atlases provide the first portrayal of long-distance trade networks that continue to characterize the capitalist exchange of commodities globally.
