An accurate, intuitive and tractable transform as been identified and developed from which the spatial harmonics of reticle patterns defined in polar coordinates can be obtained. A description of reticles and generic methods for describing them mathematically are presented along with some background on general harmonic analysis. Focus then turns to candidate transforms for analysis of reticle patterns and the most promising are investigated in more detail. A fast linear algorithm is devised to overcome some problems with implementation of a fast transform and this is followed by analysis of the transform basis functions to assist with interpretation of the transform in azimuth and radius. A sampling guideline is presented so that aliasing can be avoided and, finally, the transforms of some representative reticle patterns are shown along with some insight into their interpretation. The transformations presented provide a first step toward raising the resolution and harmonic content required in simulation image scenes that will ultimately result in optimal use of computing resources for the simulation of reticle seekers. / thesis (MSc(AppliedPhysics))--University of South Australia, 2005.

Apresenta-se, inicialmente, um diálogo entre as transformações sofridas pela escritura melódico-harmônica de Guarnieri durante o período de composição desta coleção e uma contextualização histórico-estilística, na qual são focalizadas, principalmente, suas buscas por um nacionalismo influenciado por Mário de Andrade e suas experiências com diferentes idiomas harmônicos. Propõe-se, ainda como texto preparatório para as análises, uma classificação textural dos 50 Ponteios e, ainda, a verificação de algumas constâncias formais dentro desta coleção. Nos capítulos seguintes, esta dissertação se direciona para a verificação das escolhas dos materiais presentes na construção das melodias e harmonias e se estende sobre observação dos procedimentos composicionais característicos de Guarnieri – sua poética. A partir desta investigação analítica, constatamos, nos Ponteios e em outras obras do compositor, a recorrência de um motivo melódico o qual denominamos Motivo Guarnieri. Na dimensão harmônica, chamou-nos a atenção a reincidência de uma determinada estrutura harmônica simétrica, utilizada com função Dominante nos momentos cadenciais, além do cuidado, por parte do compositor, em usar estruturas simétricas nos contextos escalares, harmônicos e formais. Sempre que possível, as análises foram permeadas por diálogos estabelecidos com pesquisadores da obra de Guarnieri e pela observação das relações entre suas decisões composicionais e seu posicionamento estético, diretamente influenciado pelo livro Ensaio sobre a música brasileira, de Mário de Andrade. / The aim of this work is to study the 50 Piano Ponteios of Camargo Guarnieri, focusing on the analysis of their melodic and harmonic structures, seeking to understand the structural aspects of the composer's poetics in this cycle of pieces. We initially examine the transformations incurred by Guarnieri's melodic-harmonic writing in the period that this collection was composed, and a produce a historical-stylistic contextualization. This contextualization focuses on the Brazilan nationalism which was influenced by Brazilian philosopher and critic Mário de Andrade, and Guarnieri’s experiences with different harmonic languages. In preparation for the analysis, a textural classification of the 50 Ponteios is performed, as well as a verification of some formal consistencies within this collection. The dissertation is also directed to the examination of the choices of the materials present in the construction of the melodies and harmonies, and extends to the observation of the compositional procedures characteristic of Guarnieri – in other words, his poetics. From this analytical investigation we can observe, in the Ponteios and in other works by this composer, the recurrence of a melodic motif which we call The Guarnieri Motive. In terms of harmony, we are struck by the recurrence of a specific symmetrical harmonic structure, used as dominant function in cadential moments. We may also verify the care the composer took to use symmetrical structures in scalar, harmonic and formal contexts. Whenever possible, the analysis was permeated by dialogues established with researchers on Guarnieri’s work, and by the observation of the relationship between Guarnieri’s compositional decisions and his aesthetic opinion, as influenced directly by the book Ensaio sobre a música brasileira by Mário de Andrade.

This thesis explores connections between homotopy sheaves, manifold calculus of functors and operad theory. We argue that there is a deep overlap between these, and as evidence we give a new operadic description of the homotopy theoretical obstructions to deforming a smooth immersion into a smooth embedding. We then discuss an application which improves on some aspects of recent results of Arone-Turchin and Dwyer-Hess concerning spaces of long knots and high-dimensional variants. Along the way, we define fibrewise complete Segal spaces, a mild generalisation of Rezk's notion of complete Segal spaces. Also in the context of Segal spaces, we define right fibrations and prove a Grothendieck construction theorem for presheaves with values in spaces. Finally, we prove a result of independent interest which states that weakly k-reduced operads (those with contractible space of operations in arity j ? k) can be strictified when k = 0, 1.
