Abstract:
The relationship between temperature and humidity of the environment with visibility of mirage has been studied by observing mirage on the runway of Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport (SIM) Aceh, Indonesia. Temperature and humidity data were obtained from the Blang Bintang Meteorological Station database, Aceh Besar, Aceh, Indonesia. The observation shows that the mirage has been found since 07.00 AM in the morning until the afternoon at 18.00 PM, even until sunset. Mirage is also still visible when the weather is cloudy or drizzling, but disappears when heavy rain. The lowest and highest temperatures where the mirage can still be observed are 26 0C and 32 0C, respectively. Meanwhile, the lowest and highest air humidities where mirages can still be observed are 51 % and 92 %, respectively. Observation shows that changes in temperature and humidity in the runway environment greatly affect the appearance and visibility of mirages. When the air temperature is high and the humidity is low, the mirage appears with high visibility (very thick), so that it can be observed clearly. Conversely, when the air temperature is low and the humidity is high, the mirage appears with low visibility (very thin) or almost non-existent or completely gone

Christensen, Justin. "Tourniquet mirage." Thesis, McGill University, 2003. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=83162.

Full text
Abstract:
Tourniquet Mirage, a piece for orchestra and processed sound, is based on the recitation of a poem of the same name. Recitations are recorded and altered electronically through granulation and phase vocoding. Granular synthesis cuts audio up into "short sound grains" and combines them into a sequence of grains to form a longer final output. Phase vocoding uses Fourier analysis to analyze audio and represent it as a series of amplitudes, phases, and frequencies. The phase vocoder then uses this information to manipulate the audio without altering the overall structure of the waveform.
The processed sound part is closely linked to the music in the orchestra. This is as a result of developing the pitch-material of the orchestra by spectrally analyzing the processed audio. At certain times, the relationship between the electronics part and the sound of the orchestra is blurred. To accomplish this, the related formal sections of the orchestra are situated in a canonic relationship with respect to the processed-sound part. The thesis is in two parts: an analysis and an orchestral score.

Magíster en artes mediales
El objetivo de Mirage of Hímero es comprender la manifestación del deseo sexual en la virtualidad y la preferencia por experimentar nuestras fantasías por medio de los mundos virtuales, representando alegóricamente estos conceptos por medio de una obra net.art que constituye la emulación a un videojuego de contenido erótico. Para esto se ha investigado asiduamente la naturaleza del erotismo y el deseo sexual, la ontología de la virtualidad, los agentes sicológicos y culturales que favorecen la creación de mundos fantásticos, los videojuegos que son una de las mayores herramientas inmersivas para el disfrute de la fantasía y el net.art por ser una de las manifestaciones artísticas más cercana al ciberespacio. La obra Mirage of Hímero es una simbiosis entre el net.art y los videojuegos, que plasmando la esencia abstracta de los conocimientos obtenidos a través del proyecto, como una metáfora visual y experiencial, nos da un atisbo de la cibercultura en la que estamos inmersos.

Zubow, Zachariah Walter. "Mirage of the mountains." Diss., University of Iowa, 2012. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/3027.

Full text
Abstract:
Mirage of the Mountains is a work for chamber ensemble, scored for flute (doubling on piccolo), clarinet, oboe, bassoon, horn, trumpet, violins (two players), viola, violoncello, double bass, piano and percussion (two players). The instrumentation decisions came from my studies of Gèrard Grisey's second and third movements, Periodes (1974) and Partiels (1975), of Les Espaces Acoustiques (1974-1985). As each movement unfolds, the piece experiences a growth in the number of performers starting with solo viola and finishing as a full orchestra. The ensemble I have assembled for Mirage of the Mountains is what I consider the difference between these two movements; it is six more instrumentalists than Periodes and five less than Partiels. Mirage of the Mountains finds its pitch material from the spectral analysis of two pitches on the contrabass, F1 and C1. This also requires the contrabass to have a C extension on the lowest string. The purpose of choosing these two pitches is one of form. The piece is in three sections, whose first and last section are based on the spectral analysis of the contrabass' F1 and the middle section using the spectral analysis from C1. This creates an overall formal structure of I-V-I throughout the work. The string with the C extension of the contrabass is also used to create form in another way. As the middle section is based on the spectral analysis of C1 of the contrabass, it also creates the opportunity to perform open string harmonics on the contrabass, violoncello and viola, as these are the lowest strings found on these instruments. Thus, in the middle section, these instruments have extended sections of harmonic glissandi that are unique to this portion of the piece. The violins also help to extend the range and color of the partials developed in the open harmonics of the other instruments by playing the upper nodes in the highest register of the G string. The partials used in this section range from the first partial to the 24th partial of C1. The title, Mirage of the Mountains, is a correlation between a spectrum analysis and the characteristics of a mountain. The premise is that the lowest part of a mountain is less steep and much wider at the base, just as the first partial of a spectral analysis is wider in distance and more audible because of its sound properties. As the terrain closer to the top of a mountain becomes more jagged, steep and narrow with more frequent peaks, the higher partials of a spectral analysis also become more frequent in relation to others preceding and following it. When looking at a mountain from a distance, it is also hard to discern all of the peaks that occur near the top, just as it is hard to discern each upper partial of a sound. Mirage of the Mountains is an aural depiction of the spectral structure of these sounds as it relates to a mountainous region and attempts to build an image through depth, form and texture.

Wjuniski, Bernardo Stuhlberger. "Multiple exchange rates and industrialization in Brazil, 1953-1961 : macroeconomic miracle or mirage?" Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2017. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/3781/.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation revisits Brazil's experience with multiple exchange rates (MERs) between 1953 and 1961. Exchange controls such as MERs were common across the world during the early days of the Bretton Woods arrangement, despite the resistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which assumed they caused instability and balance of payments crises. Latin America’s use of exchange controls was widespread, with different exchange rates also adopted as instruments to stimulate import substitution industrialization (ISI). Brazil’s MER system was, however, a unique experiment, with all the country’s imports included in a regime of auctions of foreign exchange, resulting in a controlled depreciation process with different sectoral exchange rates. The experience had two phases, the first of which diverged from other cases in the region in lasting much longer, maintaining stable macroeconomic conditions, and avoiding IMF interventions. The second phase resulted in a decline of the system's macroeconomic effectiveness and its eventual collapse in 1961. This research investigates the peak and decline of Brazil’s MER systems by analyzing a new quantitative dataset that is further complemented by qualitative sources. The main thesis is that Brazil’s MER regime was a ‘successful’ experience during its first phase, with a singular design that supported the stabilization of macroeconomic conditions. Officials were ‘guiding the invisible hand’ of the market to help balance macroeconomic variables. The dissertation also shows that the MER system was not a protectionist instrument to stimulate import substitution in advanced sectors and did not generate distortions to sectoral industrial growth. It was, however, transformed during its second phase into a mechanism to subsidize private sector imports and increase the government’s direct participation in the industrial effort, which was an industrial deepening process with costly macroeconomic consequences.

Bourke, Theresa. "Teacher professional standards : mirage or miracle cure - an archaeology of professionalism in education." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 2011. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/51051/1/Theresa_Bourke_Thesis.pdf.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is a problematisation of the development and implementation of professional standards as the mechanism to enhance professionalism and teacher quality in the teaching force within Australia and, more specifically, Queensland. Drawing on tools from Foucauldian archaeological analysis, the dominant discourses of professionalism from the academic literature, Australian federal and state policy documents and narratives from Queensland teachers are examined. These data sets are then cross referenced, analysing the intersections and divergences between the different texts. Findings suggest that through policy, political strategy and derisory statements from various authoritative voices, the managerial discourse of professionalism through professional standards documents has been unduly privileged as a means of regulating teachers, despite the fact that teachers themselves do not share this dominant notion of professionalism. The teachers in this study proffer ‘new classical-practical professionalism’ as a counter discourse, or discourse of resistance, to managerialism. However, an application of Foucault’s theorisations on power-knowledge reveals that their spoken discourses mean they are in fact yielding to the discourse of professional standards as docile bodies.

Abstract:
En prenant appui sur une enquête que nous avons menée entre 2006 et 2013 auprès de groupes d’acteurs ayant participé à une formation professionnelle intitulée « Autonomie de l’Acteur » et conduite par le centre Ayn Seyir, nous avons tâché de décrire la discipline théâtrale européenne contemporaine dans sa complexité, à travers un filtre analytique métadisciplinaire. Par le regard de ces artistes déplacés entre France et Turquie, nous voyons se dessiner l’esprit d’une culture des acteurs professionnels de théâtre, à deux niveaux : interne et externe. L’on remarque ainsi, au niveau interne, une faille entre pensée et pratique, qui semblerait vouée, d’une certaine manière, à sa propre insolvabilité. Lorsqu’on envisage la discipline en ses aspects externes, l’on note que celle-ci semble prise dans un vertige entre phénomènes de singularisation et de globalisation. Et si tout cela n’était que la marque d’un fait culturel en train de se réinventer par ses hiatus, pour ne (re)devenir que la paraphrase de ce qu’il était déjà ? Le théâtre ne semblerait plus être alors pour ces acteurs qu’un art au fonctionnement aporétique, conduisant à l’anomie. Mais ce métier ainsi éprouvé, s’oppose à la somme des idéaux que ces artistes évoquent et qui semblerait faire sens vers un désir de réalisation quasi-anagogique : une voie poétique. Entrer dans cette voie supposerait, en premier lieu, un abandon des illusions présidant à leur approche factuelle de la discipline : la démarche raisonnée d’un tamisage, pour peut-être tenter de résoudre certains des aspects du défi posé par la complexité du théâtre en tant que fait culturel en permanente mutation
By leading a field investigation between 2006 and 2013 with groups of actors who participated to an unique professional training called « Autonomy of the Actor » with Ayn Seyir Center, we tried to describe the theatrical fact in its complexity, as these actors are practicing and perceiving it, through the analytical filter of metadisciplinarity. By the look of these artists moved from their cultural area, between France and Turkey, we see a theater culture taking shape at two levels for these actors: internal and external. Thus, we notice at an internal level, a flaw between thought and practics, which seems to be consigned, in a certain way, to insolvency. And when we considerate the discipline in its external aspects, we notice that it is taken in a vertigo between super-individualization and globalization phenomenons. What if all of this was the mark of a cultural fact being reinvented by its hiatus, to only become again the paraphrase of what it was before? Then, theater would seem only be for these actors the illusion of an illusion : an art with an aporetic functionning, leading to lawlessness. But this art in this perception, is opposed to the sum of consensual ideals endlessly evoqued by these artists, who are all heading for a quasi-anagogic realization: a poetics path. To enter in this path presupposes at first abandoning their factual approach of theatre: a reasoned approach of a sifting, which may allow us to resolve certain aspects of the challenge of theatre’s complexity, considered as a cultural fact in crisis

Full text
Abstract:
Mirages come in a wide variety of forms. For simplicity we divide them into two classes. Over a region of space where the air temperature decreases with height (as over a hot road or heated desert floor) light rays follow curved paths that are concave upwards. Such paths yield an upright image of a distant scene that appears to be below its actual position and hence is called an inferior mirage. Where the air temperature increases with height (as when warm air flows over a cold body of water) light-ray paths are concave downward. An upright image of a distant scene, in this case, appears above its real position, which we indicate by calling it a superior mirage. Of course, more complicated mirage effects can be observed when we look through a layered atmosphere which has a positive temperature gradient at some elevations and a negative gradient at others. Such complicated mirages may not fit neatly into our two classes. I will not discuss the elementary theory of the mirages here. Two Scientific American articles1,2 describe new ways to understand mirage phenomena, and the classical treatment can be found in a variety of texts; for example, see references 3-6.

Gallien, Max. Measurement and Mirage: The Informal Sector Revisited. Institute of Development Studies, January 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/ids.2024.005.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent years have seen an increasing availability and usage of measurements of informal sectors as the basis of scholarship and policy advice on the causes and consequences of informality. This has created an impression of a consensus around a clearly conceptualised and operationalised object of study – that when we talk about the informal sector, we know what we are talking about. This paper argues that this impression is largely a mirage. It suggests that underneath increasingly accepted measurements, and actively masked by them, there remains a fundamental conceptual confusion and continuing diversity in understandings of what the informal sector is. What should be questions of definition have been moved ‘downstream’ into the specifications of statistical models and measurements, resulting in a lack of transparency and the emergence of feedback loops between common conceptions and methodological assumptions. This has led a large part of the current literature on informal sectors to generate potentially misleading insights into substantial development policy discussions around taxation, registration, and social protection. This paper reviews the causes and consequences of these issues and suggests both best practices and revised definitions in order to address them.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the co-movement of sovereign lending from multilateral development banks (MDBs) and private creditors with government expenditure. The paper finds that multilateral sovereign lending follows government expenditure and that this correlation does not change if governments are running a surplus or a deficit. This finding raises doubts on the feasibility of MDBs to be counter-cyclical, unless the governments themselves implement counter-cyclical fiscal policies.

Abstract:
Total Official Support for Sustainable Development, or TOSSD, is a new statistical metric that has been in the making for almost 10 years. It is meant to capture a broad range of global flows of public money in support of sustainable development. These include aid, loans on non-concessional terms, and public funds aimed at mobilising private finance for development. Metrics matter. It is essential to track the resources that the international community is allocating to turn the ambitions of Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into reality. Without such data, it is impossible to determine whether there is progress. ActionAid, AidWatch Canada and Oxfam International are publishing this discussion paper to shed light on how TOSSD works in practice as well as on its ambitions, shortcomings and the contending political perspectives on this new metric. The paper emphasizes that TOSSD could significantly shape the future of development finance.
