1	Henri Laurens and the Parisien avant-garde Racz, Imogen Anne January 2000 (has links) This dissertation examines the development of Henri Laurens' artistic work from 1915 to his death in 1954. It is divided into four sections: from 1915 to 1922, 1924 to 1929, 1930 to 1939 and 1939 to 1954. There are several threads that run through the dissertation. Where relevant, the influence of poetry on his work is discussed. His work is also analyzed in relation to that of the Parisian avant-garde. The first section discusses his early Cubist work. Initially it reflected the cosmopolitan influences in Paris. With the continuation of the war, his work showed the influence both of Leonce Rosenberg's 'school' of Cubism and the literary subject of contemporary Paris. The second section considers Laurens' work in relation to the expanding art market. Laurens gained a number of public commissions as well as many ones for private clients. Being site specific, all the works were different. The different needs of architectural sculpture as opposed to studio sculpture are discussed, as is his use of materials. Although the situation was not easy for avant-garde sculptors, Laurens became well respected through exposure in magazines and exhibitions. The third section considers Laurens in relation to the depression and the changing political scene. Like many of the avant-garde, he had left wing tendencies, which found form in various projects, including producing a sculpture for the Ecole Karl Marx at Villejuif. Patronage virtually ceased. However, Laurens was frequently included in articles in avant-garde journals and exhibited widely. The fourth section begins with the war. Laurens continued to live and work in Paris but was not included in official exhibitions. After the war, the press and State, which had largely disregarded members of the tcole de Paris, reversed this trend. As well as revisiting old sculptural themes, Laurens illustrated a number of books. 700 Cubist; Poetry; Sculpture
2	Multi-camera: interactive rendering of abstract digital images Smith, Jeffrey Statler 30 September 2004 (has links) The purpose of this thesis is the development of an interactive computer-generated rendering system that provides artists with the ability to create abstract paintings simply and intuitively. This system allows the user to distort a computer-generated environment using image manipulation techniques that are derived from fundamentals of expressionistic art. The primary method by which these images will be abstracted stems from the idea of several small images assembled into a collage that represents multiple viewing points rendered simultaneously. This idea has its roots in the multiple-perspective and collage techniques used by many cubist and futurist artists of the early twentieth century. abstract rendering abstract art cubism futurism openGL digital art abstract digital art multiple views multple cameras cubist camera cubist rendering

4	Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy 模型和Cubist決策樹模型在匯率預測上的應用邱淑綺, Chiu, Shu-Chi Unknown Date (has links) 本研究觀察了1992年1月20日至2003年2月28日美元兌台幣的匯率資料，分成樣本內、樣本外兩部分進行預測，此外也收集了相同時間的日圓、英鎊、港幣兌台幣的資料做比較，用Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy﹝朱修明，2001﹞模型和Cubist決策樹模型來預測匯率。用Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy模型預測匯率，具有非線性模型的準確性，也兼顧了線性模型之結果簡潔易懂的特質。在變數個數少的時候，就可以達到所要求的預測準確度，此時產生的預測規則容易瞭解，歸屬度函數也易於辨別，檢定過後可知和隨機漫步模型沒有差別。使用Cubist決策樹模型時，若產生的規則等同於隨機漫步模型，則預測準確度和隨機漫步沒有差別。但若產生出來的規則不同於隨機漫步模型時，則匯率預測準確度明顯低於隨機漫步模型。模糊模型決策樹匯率預測 Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Model Cubist exchange rate

6	Gertrude Stein's cubist brain maps Kippen, Lorelee 11 1900 (has links) This dissertation explores the connections that exist between Gertrude Steins late nineteenth-century psychological studies at Harvard University, her fin-de-sicle brain research at the Johns Hopkins Medical School, and her early twentieth-century cubist writings. This study is important to neuraesthetic researchers, because it appears that Stein produced a secret series of cubist brain maps from approximately 1912 to 1935, and then published her first explicit brain map in _The Geographical History of America or the Relation of Human Nature to the Human Mind_, in 1936. The cubist brain maps that Stein produced during this period can be conceptualized as evolving, neuraesthetic writing practices that reflect her complex, scientific insights and her varied, artistic associations. One of the primary differences between Steins cubist writings and those of her literary peers is that she deploys the cubist painting strategies of Pablo Picasso, for the purpose of portraying the human central nervous system. In addition to exploring the scientific meanings of Steins multidimensional, performative and introspective cubist puns, my study examines how Stein uses color in her cubist writings, as a means of anticipating the visual effects of future scientific discoveries and connectivity maps, such as the Brainbow system, which uses the fluorescent protein from the jellyfish Aequorea Victoria to label the central nervous systems of genetically modified mice with distinguishable colors. Also, this project examines how Stein uses color words and other simple devices from the English language to illustrate the brains cellular structures, neural networks and neuroanatomical features. This studys primary aim is to explore how Steins dissociative writings function within western culture as neuraesthetic modes of masterpiece creation, brain representation and consciousness translation. Through the serial production of cubist brain maps, Stein posed important questions about the modern science of the reading brain. By developing allegorical methods of brain representation, Stein contributes to the western practice of neuroesthetics by foregrounding the role that creative writing plays in the production of imaginary, laboratory practices and imaginative, brain imaging technologies.

7	Digital Soil Mapping of the Purdue Agronomy Center for Research and Education Shams R Rahmani (8300103) 07 May 2020 (has links) This research work concentrate on developing digital soil maps to support field based plant phenotyping research. We have developed soil organic matter content (OM), cation exchange capacity (CEC), natural soil drainage class, and tile drainage line maps using topographic indices and aerial imagery. Various prediction models (universal kriging, cubist, random forest, C5.0, artificial neural network, and multinomial logistic regression) were used to estimate the soil properties of interest.
