Descriptions in V.V. Nabokov’s texts: perfecting techniques in competition with the cinematic language (to the 125th anniversary of the birth)

The article discusses innovative techniques for constructing descriptions in V.V. Nabokov’s texts "Camera Obscura" ("Laughter In The Night") and "The Enchanter". The relevance of the topic is due, on the one hand, to the unsettled issue of identifying invariant description features and attributing the peripheral forms of description. On the other hand, there are no works that fully reveal V.V. Nabokov’s technique of creating descriptions. The research is based on advances in the study of this author’s visual poetics, interest in which has been growing in recent years. The article used lexico-semantic, morphological, syntactic analysis of individual linguistic units. Moreover, linguostylistic text analysis, intertextual and semiotic analysis, content analysis were employed in conjunction with a comparative analysis of the two texts reflecting the dynamics of V.V. Nabokov’s individual style. The study has shown that descriptive fragments in the texts by this author mostly do not have clear boundaries and can overlap or alternate with the narrative even within the same sentence. The article proposes to call this technique "fusion style". It is concluded that one of the important functions of V.V. Nabokov’s descriptions is the embodiment of the film of life mega-metaphor. The language of description borrows techniques from the cinematic language, for instance, montage techniques, double exposure through superimposure, and sound images. The research has identified stylistic devices that can iconically embody cinematic language elements. These include blending, ellipsis, extended allusions, double similes, and paronomasia. The paper concludes that the density of these techniques in V.V. Nabokov’s texts increases as he gains mastery. It is shown that the writer objectifies visual poetics with the help of such linguistic means as embedded structures and absolute constructions, enumerations, groups of nominal sentences.

A study on the application of neural style transformation technique in personalized art creation

Abstract In this paper, using the loss function of image stylization, combined with the development of image stylization based on deep learning, the proposed convolutional neural network in the style of image conversion fitting and overfitting response. Based on this, the multi-scale feature fusion method is chosen to train the style conversion network, with the help of deep feature extraction of the image for style conversion, reconstruct the multi-scale feature fusion image, and send it to the decoder for deep coding to realize the style conversion. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed multi-scale feature fusion style conversion algorithm, the content loss and style loss parameters of the algorithm are analyzed using the lightweight encoder and VGG encoder, respectively. Calculate the number of algorithmic model parameters and the amount of computation. Analyze the change in the iteration number of the personalized art style conversion process and select the performance evaluation index to evaluate the results of the personalized art style image conversion process. In the process of personalized art style conversion, the multi-scale feature fusion algorithm network proposed in this paper can basically reconstruct the original image after 1000 iterations. Personalized style image reconstruction has a PSNR of 25.26 dB when the number of iterations is 1000. With the deepening of training, the reconstruction effect becomes better and better, and the advantages of personalized art style image conversion applications are significant.

Unpacking the Form and Structure of Jaya Baya Music Composition in JES Gamelan Fusion

This paper aims to reveal the structure and form of Jaya Baya music composition by I Nyoman Windha in JES Gamelan Fusion. Jaya Baya's Music Composition in JES Gamelan Fusion is the result of a rearrangement of the same title worked on with the Sekar Jaya Gamelan Group using Angklung gamelan in 2002 by taking the idea of revealing the meaning of the Bom Bali I Tragedy. This research uses qualitative descriptive research methods, with musicological approach procedures, to analyze the form and structure of the Composition of Musik Jaya Baya in JES Gamelan Fusion. This music turnover is in the style of fusion music, by combining the values of Bali characteristics with Western music values presented by JGF (Jes Gamelan Fusion). It turns out that in her composition, Windha is still thick with Balinese karawitan practices, where various elements of music, the practice of music playing techniques, ornamentation, and even the structure of the music are still Balinese style. Two types of gamelan as the basic foundation of music fusion, namely Jegog gamelan and Semar Pagulingan Saih Pitu gamelan, have certainly given rise to sound color perspectives and instrumentation techniques as a creative force for composition creation. Windha has also made hybrid music in a fusion style which turned out to be an alternative to combining Western and Eastern music (Nusantara).

A New Form of Taoist Theurgy in the Qing Dynasty: Xizhu Doufa in the Taoist–Tantric Fusion Style

The Longmen Xizhu Xinzong 龍門西竺心宗 was a Taoist sect that was active during the Qing Dynasty. The sect reportedly originated in India and has long been renowned for its Xizhu Doufa 西竺斗法. However, due to its secrecy and lack of literature, its true form remains a mystery. Examining the self-reported history of the Longmen Xizhu Xinzong, it can confidently be stated that Xizhu Doufa was often used in conjunction with Dharani and had deep roots in Tantric Buddhism. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Tantric Buddhism gained popularity in China and evolved into Tang Tantrism (Ch. Tangmi 唐密). There is a large amount of Dipper Method (Ch. Doufa 斗法)-related content in Tang Tantrism, which is a variant of China’s original Dipper Method observed in India. After being passed back to China, it was named “Western Transmission”. Many of the existing documents on the Dipper Method from the Ming and Qing Dynasties originated from Tang Tantrism. In terms of belief, they reflect the combination of Doumu 斗姆 and Marici; in terms of methods, they incorporate multiple elements, including the Taoist Thunder Method (Ch. Leifa 雷法) and Marici mantra. Overall, the ideas, lineage of transmission, and other aspects recorded in these documents are extremely similar to those emphasized by the Longmen Xizhu Xinzong, providing evidence for the origin of Xizhu Doufa. This evidence also provides a new reference for the direction in which Tang Tantrism developed after the Huichang Persecution of Buddhism 會昌毀佛.

The Application of The Indigenization Technique in Modern Chinese Church Architecture

"Indigenization" is a process that presents a blend and adaptable feature by combining foreign elements with the local natural environment and cultural factors. Church buildings are the most tangible manifestation of the "indigenization" of Christianity. This paper discusses the application of indigenization techniques in modern Chinese Catholic church architecture from four aspects: layout, structure, materials, and decoration. In terms of layout, indigenization is reflected in space, plan, and orientation. The space mainly imitates traditional Western-style churches and simplifies with the simplification of function. In terms of plan form, the basic rectangular space is retained and combined with local architectural features to evolve into some new variants. Orientation, some churches have absorbed local building orientation patterns. In terms of structural indigenization, the main materials are stone, brick, and soil, and the building structure is mainly supported by load-bearing walls and wooden beams. In terms of material selection, indigenization techniques are mainly based on regional resource conditions and are combined with the characteristics of local residences and climate conditions. The choice of building materials is made by considering the availability, processing difficulty, and physical properties of materials. The application of decorative indigenization often borrows common decoration techniques from local residential buildings and combines them with traditional Chinese culture to create a unique Chinese and Western fusion style building, making the church better integrated into the local architectural community and accelerating local residents' acceptance of Catholicism.

International comparison of cross-disciplinary integration in industry 4.0: A co-authorship analysis using academic literature databases.

In innovation strategy, a type of Schumpeterian competitive strategy in business administration, "intra-individual diversity" has attracted attention as one factor for creating innovation. In this study, we redefine "framework for identifying researchers’ areas of expertise" as "a framework for quantifying intra-individual diversity among researchers. Note that diversity here refers to authorship of articles in multiple research fields. The application of this framework then made it possible to visualize organizational diversity by accumulating the intra-individual diversity of researchers and to discuss the innovation strategy of the organization. The analysis in this study discusses how countries are promoting research on the topics of artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, which are at the core of Industry 4.0, from an innovation perspective. Note that Industry 4.0 is a technological framework that aims to “improve the efficiency of all social systems,” “create new industries,” and “increase intellectual productivity.” For the analysis, we used 19-year bibliographic data (2000–2018) from the top 20 countries in terms of the number of papers in AI, big data, and IoT technologies. As the results, this study classified the styles of cross-disciplinary fusion into four patterns in AI and three patterns in big data. This study did not consider the results in IoT because of only small differences between countries. Furthermore, regional differences in the style of cross-disciplinary fusion were also observed, and the global innovation patterns in Industry 4.0 were classified into seven categories. In Europe and North America, the cross-disciplinary integration style was similar to that between the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, England, Italy, Canada, and France. In Asia, the cross-disciplinary fusion style was similar between China, Japan, and South Korea.

Composite Style Pixel and Point Convolution-Based Deep Fusion Neural Network Architecture for the Semantic Segmentation of Hyperspectral and Lidar Data

Multimodal hyperspectral and lidar data sets provide complementary spectral and structural data. Joint processing and exploitation to produce semantically labeled pixel maps through semantic segmentation has proven useful for a variety of decision tasks. In this work, we identify two areas of improvement over previous approaches and present a proof of concept network implementing these improvements. First, rather than using a late fusion style architecture as in prior work, our approach implements a composite style fusion architecture to allow for the simultaneous generation of multimodal features and the learning of fused features during encoding. Second, our approach processes the higher information content lidar 3D point cloud data with point-based CNN layers instead of the lower information content lidar 2D DSM used in prior work. Unlike previous approaches, the proof of concept network utilizes a combination of point and pixel-based CNN layers incorporating concatenation-based fusion necessitating a novel point-to-pixel feature discretization method. We characterize our models against a modified GRSS18 data set. Our fusion model achieved 6.6% higher pixel accuracy compared to the highest-performing unimodal model. Furthermore, it achieved 13.5% higher mean accuracy against the hardest to classify samples (14% of total) and equivalent accuracy on the other test set samples.

Does Symmetric Thoracic Fusion Make a Difference in Lenke 1 A/B AIS Patients?

A retrospective study. The aim of this study was to compare the long-term outcomes of correction surgery for Lenke 1 A/B scoliosis among those with symmetric fusion (SF), upper-dominant fusion (UF), and lower-dominant fusion (LF) in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Symmetric fusion, defined as equal number of vertebral levels included in instrumented fusion above and below the apical vertebra or disc of the primary curve, was a new concept raised in AIS selective fusion. Previous study showed that similar correction the effect on clinical outcomes of this fusion style. Preoperative, postoperative, and last follow-up radiographs of 117 consecutive patients with Lenke type 1A/B curves who underwent posterior selective thoracic instrumentation surgery were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups (SF and nonsymmetric fusion [NSF]). Patients in NSF was further divided into two groups UF (more vertebrate was fused above the apex) and LF (more vertebrate was fused below the apex). Clinical outcomes and coronal decompensation including adding-on and trunk shift were analyzed and compared among three groups. There was no significant difference between SF and NSF in magnitude of preoperative main thoracic curve (P = 0.69) and correction rate (P = 0.50). Distal adding-on was observed in 21 patients (17.9%), and coronal decompensation was observed in eight patients (6.8%) in all at final follow up. No significant differences were found between the two groups regarding adding-on phenomenon (P = 0.64) and coronal imbalance (P = 0.72). Significantly higher rates of adding-on were found in UF compared with SF and LF (P < 0.001). In a subgroup analysis between UF and LF in NSF patients, significant differences were found between two subgroups in the rate of trunk shift (P = 0.038). No significant differences in SRS-22 scores were observed among the three groups. In Lenke 1A/B AIS with posterior selective fusion, SF provides no significant differences from NSF. However, in NSF, UF was found to be high risky of adding-on phenomenon. 3.

Modified helix-like instability structure on imploding z-pinch liners that are pre-imposed with a uniform axial magnetic field

Recent experiments at the Sandia National Laboratories Z Facility have, for the first time, studied the implosion dynamics of magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) style liners that were pre-imposed with a uniform axial magnetic field. As reported [T. J. Awe et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 235005 (2013)] when premagnetized with a 7 or 10 T axial field, these liners developed 3D-helix-like hydrodynamic instabilities; such instabilities starkly contrast with the azimuthally correlated magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor (MRT) instabilities that have been consistently observed in many earlier non-premagnetized experiments. The helical structure persisted throughout the implosion, even though the azimuthal drive field greatly exceeded the expected axial field at the liner's outer wall for all but the earliest stages of the experiment. Whether this modified instability structure has practical importance for magneto-inertial fusion concepts depends primarily on whether the modified instability structure is more stable than standard azimuthally correlated MRT instabilities. In this manuscript, we discuss the evolution of the helix-like instability observed on premagnetized liners. While a first principles explanation of this observation remains elusive, recent 3D simulations suggest that if a small amplitude helical perturbation can be seeded on the liner's outer surface, no further influence from the axial field is required for the instability to grow.

한옥 건축공정 자동화를 위한 지능형 설계모듈의 구현

Hanok is a cultural heritage containing our ancestor`s life style intact and breathing alive with us until now. As Hanok has been concerned as a echo-friendly architecture, a new methodology for efficient construction without damaging the traditional construction process comes into request. The goal of this research is development of a architectural design tool based on the BIM(Building Information Modeling) for satisfying these demands. It will be usable to support whole process of the traditional building from digital design to production and construction. Firstly, we take a consideration of the traditional architecture reflecting the spirit of the age and suggest efficient design method for architectural components. Each components is pre-fabricated as a template representing similar components. All pre-fabricated components are designed by object-oriented concepts so, many variations for a component can be derived from the pre-fabricated component. Our method is helpful for reducing design errors because that it considers combining rule between connecting components in the template design. Moreover it is plugged in the commercial architectural CAD, so it can supports digital design not only traditional architecture but also fusion style mixed with modern architecture.

텔레비전 탈장르 프로그램의 제작과정 특성 -KBS 2TV &lt;스펀지&gt;를 중심으로-

Nowadays, `fusion style` television programs are increasingly found in the production of television program. Originally such a trend has been developed with a purpose of changing tedious cultural program into entertaining style. Recently, however, it has also become as an alternative style of genre which is against from lasciviousness or lewdness of entertaining programs. This study is designed to analyse the characteristics of television production and theorize a producing process of the television genre-over program As a result of various aspects of research, it is found that recent producers who make genre-over program choose any kind of genre which is thought to be needed for their program, without any limitation in terms of methods or skills for specific genre. And with this change of concept for making programs, genre-over programs are newly defined as the entertaining programs, in which its entertaining function is widen and broaden, absorbing the informative function of cultural programs.

형태, 기능, 양식에 관한 새로운 해석과 그 관계

디자인을 수행하는데 있어서 디자인의 형태, 기능, 양식에 관한 폭 넓은 이해는 매우 중요하다. 왜냐하면 형태와 기능을 배제한 디자인은 존재할 수 없고 또한 모든 디자인은 서로 다른 양식에 의해 구체화되기 때문이다. 이러한 관점에서 본 논문은 디자인의 형태, 기능, 양식과 그 관계에 대하여 고찰하였다. 우선 1-서론에서는 연구논제의 배경을 설명하고 목적과 필요성에 대한 문제를 제기하였다. 이를 토대로 2-디자인 형태에서는 원초적 형태, 가공적 형태, 규범적 형태, 표현적 형태에 대하여 살펴보았고, 3-디자인 기능에서는 본래적 기능, 전승적 기능, 절대적 기능, 상대적 기능에 대하여 살펴보았으며, 4-디자인 양식에서는 생존 양식, 민속양식, 단순양식, 복합양식에 대하여 살펴보았다. 끝으로 5-결론에서는 형태, 기능, 양식에 대한 접근방법을 피력하고 그 관계를 정립하였다. The wide range of understanding on form, function and style are very important in design practice.

A Study on the Decorative Characteristics of Caports Style according to Its Categories

Caports is a fusion style which consists of mix and match and various T.P.Os. The expressive features of Caports style have been strengthened by the combination of functional and decorative design. This study aims to divide the images into categories and to study the decorative features of each category. It is classified into five groups according to its images, Healthy & Sexy, Athletic, Romantic, Girlish, Vintage. The following study has assorted the pictures of Caports style into categories and presents decorative design features in each category. Analyzed materials have been collected from fashion magazines, catalogs, and fashion related Internet sites from 2002 to 2006. The dominant feature of caports was sensitive fashionableness as a day wear based on sportswear. This feature was determined by every factor such as materials, structure and details. In other words, the usage of jersey that could give functionalities and elasticity, structure that exhibit one's silhouette and the decorative designs of functional details make it possible to have this kind of peculiar style. Decorative designs shown in sports wear, casual wear and women's wear were all applied in Caports style. They showed a moderate and coherent style rather than one that was richly ornate or magnificent. So, in the mesa trend of sportism, Caports style could easily fit into the 21st century's consumers' demands for fusion. And this study of decorating methods of each category of Caports style may provide useful data to help develop the products that consumers demand.

Study on Fashion Illustration Technique Applying Purple

In the modern society of the 21st century where the visuality is emphasized, the illustration which expresses one symbol by embodying it is getting more spotlight than the use of character. Specifically, the fashion illustration serves the role of image promotion in other fields, for such as book, magazine, etc, as well as the fashion, and is taking root in daily lives. In response to that, this study researched on the fusion style fashion and the fashion illustration by using the violet color. The violet color which symbolizes the mysticism is being applied to society and culture in various forms, and has been considered as a precious color that represents god since ancient time, and still possesses its mysterious image even in the modern times. Moreover, as the appearance of fusion styled clothes which consolidates the latest trend image of the west and east is combined with the mysterious image of the purple to express new cultural image beyond highlighting specific image element of a country, the study on the fashion illustration based on the clothes based on the purple and fusion style would be very interesting. This study tried to produce the work that aims at the practical study based on the purple & fusion style and the theoretical consideration of fashion illustration through the analysis and investigative study of preceding studies. The findings from the study is like this: First, the violet the color, which represents the mysticism, can be confirmed to be an sophisticated, elegant and attractive image color that leads the modern fashion. Second, the fusion style which is coming into the spotlight recently can be found to have a great visual effect of consolidating the image of the west and east through the mixture with the purple color. Third, it was confirmed in our production of works that the fashion illustration was expressing a mysterious and new fusion style by blending appropriately with the purple color.

Pop Tradition in Nigeria: Transforming Traditional Yorùbá Bàtá Performance into a Worldly Fusion

The most recent generational shift in the culture of Yorùbá Bàtá performance has provoked frustration in older artists who are worried that their tradition is dying. The generation of artists in its twenties fuses traditional bàtá, with popular musical genres, creating a fusion style I call “pop tradition.” “Pop” signifies the young artists' desires to identify with a pan-Yorùbá and global culture, fueling a particular worldly performance style rooted in both tradition and modernity.
