This article examines how portraiture is presented in Giorgio Vasari’s Lives (1550 and 1568). The Lives claims portraits are to remember the dead and instruct the living; to do this, they must be accurate copies of the sitter. Praising portraits as copies effectively endorses the often-promotional messages of the portraits themselves. However, the...

span lang="EN-US">The doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) has the advantages of compactness and low cost, so it has been applied more and more in practice. However, the structure of the DFIG system is complex, multivariable, nonlinear, and difficult to control. Chaos is a phenomenon that only occurs with nonlinear dynamical systems, sensitive to...

The portrait of the Jews in John’s Gospel has been the object of a great debate among Western scholars. The negative portrait of many of the Jews of the fourth canonical gospel has led some to qualify John’s Gospel as the most “anti-Jewish” writing of the New Testament. Recent Western history, in particular the Shoah, has certainly had a heavy weig...

For 60 years, high-energy pulsed lasers have enabled the recording of extremely realistic portraits of living people within a few nanoseconds. In the 21st century, this confidential technique, which requires great skill and equipment, has almost disappeared because of the final monochromatic color of the holograms, which does not appeal to the publ...

Heterogeneity of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) represents a major hurdle towards personalized medicine. Efforts based on whole tumor profiling demonstrated that the CRC molecular subtypes were associated with specific tumor morphological patterns representing tumor subregions. We hypothesize that whole-tumor molecular descriptors depend on the morphol...

Covariant integral quantization with rotational SO(3) symmetry is established for quantum motion on this group manifold. It can also be applied to Gabor signal analysis on this group.

Such devices are naturally suited for assembly in close-packed one- and two-dimensional arrays. In such arrangements, optical coupling between elements of the array ope...

For the vast majority of agricultural workers in the tenant peasantry class, the direct relation to a landscape valorized by a plantation economy is simultaneously a constantly mediated, ever-precarious economic relation to global capital. Since 1945, discourses of development have only deepened extractive and deeply unequal modes of governance and...

To evaluate the reliability and validity of a novel method for remotely measuring trismus. We recruited 60 volunteers who took three types of photographs at a fixed restricted jaw position mimicking limited mouth opening, including one selfie and one portrait with or without a reference frame. Additionally, the interincisal distance and the width o...
