Abstract:
This paper presents the design and implementation of an encoder and decoder of a colored barcode with high data density and storage capacity and freedom in shape. The approximately three times higher data density compared to conventional 2D matrix codes such as DataMatrix, QR or Aztec code is achieved by the use of eight colors and enables new applications, especially in the endconsumer market as well as in IT security. The challenges associated with the use of the color channel in printing with conventional office printers and recording by smartdevices under typical scenarios are addressed. The flexibility in the barcode shape is achieved by combining a primary and several secondary symbols according to a given scheme and give the necessary freedom for various applications. The presented code stores colors redundantly in a color palette as a reference in order to provide high robustness. JAB code, Just Another Barcode, has been specified, implemented, tested and is avaiable in github and www.jabcode.org under the license LGPL 2.1. JAB code is currently in the standardization process at the International Organization for Standardization ISO.

Abstract:
Franciscan missionary Fray Bernardino de Sahagún arrived in New Spain (Mexico) in 1529 to proselytize Aztecs surviving the Conquest, begun by Hernán Cortés in 1519. About 1558 he commenced his huge opus “Historia general de las cosas de Nueva España” completed in Latin–Nahuatl manuscript in 1569. The best surviving version, the “Florentine Codex”, 1579, in Spanish–Nahuatl, is the basis for the editions published since 1829. The first English translation was issued in 13 volumes between 1950 and 1982, and the first facsimile was published in 1979. Book 11, “Earthly things”, is a comprehensive natural history of the Valley of Mexico based on pre-Cortésian Aztec knowledge. Sahagún's work, largely unknown among English-speaking biologists, is an untapped treasury of information about Aztecan natural history. It also establishes the Aztecs as the preeminent pioneering naturalists of North America, and Sahagún and his colleagues as their documentarians.

Abstract:
The “Codex Mendoza” is one of the earliest, most detailed, and most important postconquest accounts of pre-Hispanic Aztec life. Nahuas and Spaniards manufactured the codex through a complex process that involved translations across media, languages, and cultural framings. Translations made Aztec culture legible and acceptable to nonnative viewers and readers by recasting indigenous practices, knowledge, ontology, and epistemology. Following a stratigraphic approach that examines the process through which natives and Spaniards created a transcultural manuscript, the article examines the multiple interpretations and negotiations involved in producing images, books, and information about the indigenous world in early colonial Mexico.

Abstract:
About 60 years after the Spanish invasion and conquest of Mexico, a group of Nahua intellectuals gathered in Tenochtitlan. On the very site of the heart of the Aztec empire stood a city of a new name: Mexico City, capital of New Spain. There the Nahuas set about compiling an extensive book of miscellanea, now known as the Codex Mexicanus. Owned by the Bibliothèque National de France, the codex includes records pertaining to the Christian and Aztec calendars, European medical astrology, a genealogy of the Tenochca royal house, and the annals of preconquest and early colonial Mexico City, among other intriguing topics.

Aims. This work explores, from a statistical point of view, the rest-frame far-ultraviolet (FUV) to far-infrared (FIR) emission of a population of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z ∼ 3 that cannot be individually detected from current FIR observations. Methods. We performed a stacking analysis over a sample of ∼17 000 LBGs at redshift 2.5 < z < 3.5 in the COSMOS field. The sample is binned as a function of UV luminosity (LFUV), UV continuum slope (βUV), and stellar mass (M*), and then stacked at optical (BVriz bands), near-infrared (YJHKs bands), IRAC (3.6, 4.5, 5.6, and 8.0 μm), MIPS (24 μm), PACS (100 and 160 μm), SPIRE (250, 350, and 500 μm), and AzTEC (1.1 mm) observations. We obtained 30 rest-frame FUV-to-FIR spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of LBGs at z ∼ 3, and analyzed these with the CIGALE SED-fitting analysis code. We were able to derive fully consistent physical parameters, that is, M*, βUV, LFUV, LIR, AFUV, star formation rate, and the slope of the dust attenuation law; we built a semiempirical library of 30 rest-frame FUV-to-FIR stacked LBG SEDs as functions of LFUV, βUV, and M*. Results. We used the so-called IR-excess (IRX ≡ LIR/LFUV) to investigate the dust attenuation as a function of βUV and M*. Our LBGs, averaged as a function of βUV, follow the well-known IRX–βUV calibration of local starburst galaxies. Stacks as a function of M* follow the IRX–M* relationship presented in the literature at high M* (log(M* [M⊙]) > 10). However, a large dispersion is shown in the IRX–βUV and IRX–M* planes, in which the βUV and M* are combined to average the sample. Additionally, the SED-fitting analysis results provide a diversity of dust attenuation curve along the LBG sample, and their slopes are well correlated with M*. Steeper dust attenuation curves than Calzetti’s are favored in low stellar mass LBGs (log(M* [M⊙]) < 10.25), while grayer dust attenuation curves are favored in high stellar mass LBGs (log(M* [M⊙]) > 10.25). We also demonstrate that the slope of the dust attenuation curves is one of the main drivers that shapes the IRX–βUV plane.

Abstract:
AbstractThere is compelling evidence to believe that some gold ornaments in the South Mexican International Style found outside the Basin of Mexico, or without provenience, were made by goldsmiths in the urban centers of the Aztec empire, rather than by the Mixtec artisans to whom they are commonly attributed. The weight of gold dust and bullion recorded as tribute to the Aztec rulers in the Codex Mendoza and other sources was sufficient to produce 22,000–27,000 small and medium-sized ornaments annually, implying a large number of goldworkers in these urban centers. Ethnohistorical documents indicate that many gold ornaments were given to provincial leaders by Aztec rulers who used gifts of luxury items as an important part of their diplomatic strategies, and political patronage system; many more were exported by means of long-distance trade.

Full text
Abstract:
The official cape of the Aztec emperors characteristically is pictured with a blue, geometric design. A pictorial codex illustrates tribute textiles incorporating a portion of that same pattern. These sixteenth-century Aztec weavings came from geographic areas previously part of the twelfth-century Toltec empire; it is from that revered power that this motif derived. The imperial blue cloak of the Aztec rulers thus served as their “charter,” reflecting the empire's legitimacy based on the emperors’ claim to a Toltec genealogy. The design’s Nahuatl name plus recent dyeing experiments indicate the creation of the emperors’ cloak involved the deliberate inclusion of a labor-intensive tie-dye technique in order to produce a specific motif that carried a powerful symbolism. This design’s occurrence in other contexts confirms its importance and indicates the motif had pre-Toltec origins relating to geopolitical/mythological bases of authority in ancient mesoamerican societies.

Abstract:
В наш час широкого розповсюдження набули двомірні штрих коди, які застосовуються для зашифрування та автоматичного зчитування різного роду інформації. Існує ряд типів найпоширеніших двомірних штрих кодів, у зв’язку з чим універсальні пристрої декодування для розшифрування коду мають його пропускати через підсистеми декодування кожного окремого типу коду. Оскільки процедура декодування не є простою, час на спробу обробити всі варіанти кодів може виявитись досить великим. Щоб подолати зазначену проблему запропоновано використати нейронну мережу для первинного розпізнавання типу коду із подальшим вибором найбільш імовірного для даного типу дешифратора. Зокрема, запропоновано метод попереднього розпізнавання типу найбільш поширених типів двомірних кодів на основі нейромережі SqueezeNet, що на відміну від процедури послідовної перевірки шляхом прямого дешифрування за допомогою бібліотек декодування кодів дозволяє підвищити швидкодію визначення типу коду на 6 мс, а також досягти вищої точності класифікування.
Nowadays, two-dimensional bar codes have become widespread, which are used to encrypt and automatically read various types of information. In general, there are a number of types of the most commonly used two-dimensional barcodes. Therefore, universal decoders for decrypting the code must pass it through the decoding subsystems of each type of code. Since the decoding procedure is not simple, the time to try to process all code variants can be quite long. To overcome this problem in this work, a neural network for the primary recognition of the type of code, followed by the selection of the most likely for this type of decoder is proposed. Namely, the method of preliminary recognition of the most common types of two-dimensional codes based on the SqueezeNet neural network is proposed, which in contrast to the procedure of sequential verification by direct decryption using code decoding libraries allows to increase the speed of code type determination by 6 ms.

Abstract:
The scholarship on the extent of the Nahuatl writing system makes something of a sense-reference error. There are a number of occurrences in which the symbols encode a verb, three in the present tense and one in the past tense. The context of the use of calendar systems and written language in the Aztec empire is roughly described. I suggest that a new typology for is needed in order to fully account for Mesoamerican writing systems and to put to rest the idea that alphabetic orthographies are superior to other full systems. I cite neurolinguistic articles in support of this argument and suggest an evolutionary typology based on Gould's theory of Exaptation paired with the typology outlined by Justeson in his "Origins of Mesoamerican Writing" article.

The present study aimed to measure the cultural significance of clothing in the Aztec and Mayan civilizations , besides exposing the hierarchy , reflected in dressing practices and compare historical reports and graphical representations , portrayed in contemporary media. Thus, the work was devided into three stages: Imaging survey (Chapter 1: The history viewed), literature review (Chapter 2: The history read) and field research (Chapter 3: A living history). The first chapter emphasized the analysis of representations of the clothing of the Aztecs and Mayans, enabling the interpretation noted by several authors, in three different medias: Electronic game Age of Empires II: The Conquerors, the animation The Road to Eldorado and feature film Apocalypto. The second chapter allows to understand how History and the History of Fashion and Dress Code narrate these nations, especially about costumes. Finally, the third chapter unraveled the strong legacy left by these civilizations, even though not much explored by other types of research. Therefore, the study revealed that the solid hierarchical relationships within the classic Mesoamerican societies are still seen by media artists and contemporary fashion brands.

Para ello, se divide el trabajo en tres etapas: estudio de imágenes (Capítulo 1: La visión de la Historia), revisión de la literatura (Capítulo 2: La historia leída) y la investigación de campo (Capítulo 3: una historia vivida). El primer capítulo enfatiza el análisis de las representaciones de la ropa de los aztecas y más, lo que permite la interpretación han señalado varios autores, en tres medios diferentes: Electrónico juego Age of Empires II: The Conquerors, la animación The Road to El Dorado y la película Apocalypto. En el segundo capítulo, nos permite comprender cómo la Historia y la Historia de la Moda y el Código de Vestimenta dice esta gente, sobre todo cuando se trata de disfraces. Finalmente, el tercer capítulo fue desentrañar el fuerte legado dejado por estas civilizaciones, aunque poco explorado en otros tipos de investigación. Por lo tanto, el estudio reveló que las relaciones jerárquicas sólidos dentro de las sociedades mesoamericanas clásicas siguen siendo vistos por los artistas de medios y marcas de moda contemporáneas.

Resumo: Este trabalho enfoca um manuscrito de tradição indígena, chamado Códice Telleriano Remensis, confeccionado em meados do século XVI na região central do México. Trata-se de um documento de patronagem européia composto por um sistema de notação indígena basicamente pictográfico e por textos em caracteres latinos. Foram realizadas análises do documento original com o auxílio da Codicologia, uma disciplina especializada no estudo dos manuscritos do ponto de vista material, e um estudo pormenorizado dos escribas/ pintores ou tlacuilos. O trabalho é focado, portanto, nas características materiais do códice (suporte, organização material, encadernações, restaurações, etc), visando à reconstrução de sua história de confecção, com enfoque no conteúdo imagético. A pesquisa trouxe dados importantes sobre a confecção e formação do manuscrito, que foi realizado por vários tlacuilos, os quais se vinculam estilisticamente a distintas tradições do México Central e mostram diversas formas de adaptar os conteúdos tradicionais indígenas ao papel e formato de livro europeu e às necessidades dos novos usuários. O códice é um material fascinante, de grande heterogeneidade, e as análises permitiram demonstrar suas diversidades internas, que refletem a complexidade e pluralidade das tradições indígenas e algumas formas de adaptá-las a materiais, convenções e concepções ocidentais
Abstract: The present work focuses on a manuscript of indigenous tradition called Codex Telleriano Remensis, created in the mid sixteenth-century in the central region of Mexico. It is a work of European sponsorship which is composed of a native notation system, basically pictographic, and through texts in latin characters. An analysis of the original manuscript was carried out with the help of Codicology, a discipline that specialises on the study of manuscripts from a material perspective, as well as a detailed study of the scribes/ painters, the so-called tlacuilos. The research is hence focused on the material characteristics of the Codex (support, material organization, binding, restorations, etc). The main objective of this analysis was to re-construct the history of its creation, with special emphasis on its pictographic content. The work developed brought important data into light regarding the history of the creation and development of the manuscript. The task was undertaken by several tlacuilos, which a related to different style traditions of Central Mexico and who show various forms of adapting the traditional indigenous contents to European paper and book formats, as well as to the needs of the new users. The Codex itself is a fascinating working material, with a great level of heterogeneity and, the analysis undertaken gave the opportunity to demonstrate its internal diversity, reflecting the complexity and pluralism of indigenous traditions and some of the forms used to adapt them to Western materials, conventions and concepts

Full text
Abstract:
Near the edge of the Aztec empire, about sixty-eight miles from Mexico City-Tenochtitlan, the temple complex Malinalco (built 1501 -- ca. 1519) comprises a tiny portion of an eponymous town and has the only known monolithic temple in Mesoamerica. The Mexica tlatoani Ahuitzotl (r. 1486-1502) commissioned the complex in 1501, and his successor Moctezuma II (r. 1502-1520) renewed the work order at least once. The site remained unfinished after the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlan in 1521. The remarkable preservation of Structure I offers a unique view of a Mexica temple interior, and the eagle and jaguar seats carved within that temple led to the traditional interpretation of the site as a haven for eagle and jaguar warriors. In contrast, I contend that Malinalco's ceremonial center was a Mexica space for politico-religious rituals likely performed by the tlatoani or his proxies. My analysis of Malinalco's pre-Mexica history (Chapter 2) examines the mythical history of the Malinalca and their possible dual Mexica-Toltec heritage. Malinalco's now-lost mural of Toltec warriors situates the site within the larger corpus of Tula-inspired procession scenes, and links it iconographically to Tenochtitlan monuments that legitimated imperial power. Through a close analysis of early colonial texts and pictographic sources, I show that the eagle and jaguar seats in Structure I were not used by warriors, but rather were the purview of the tlatoque. An analysis of Malinalco's sacred landscape features demonstrates that the Mexica did not simply build a temple complex in the sacred space of a subject territory, but rather transformed the shape of a sacred mountain in declaration of a god-like imperial power. Finally, Malinalco's famous upright drum, often cited as proof that the site was for warriors, actually shows eagle and jaguar warriors weeping as they sing a war song, perhaps alluding to the martial sacrifices of the empire as it fought to preserve and expand its boundaries. I conclude that the Mexica designed Malinalco as a space for the performance of politico-religious regime-legitimating rituals, permanently declaring their dominance in their empire's hinterland.
