This paper examines the ability of Studio Ghibli animated films to perceptually modulate their audiences. Working from Hayao Miyazaki’s suggestion that if a filmmaker wants to stay true to empathy they need only quieten things down, this paper seeks a technical explanation for this process. It will examine how the interplay of simple character designs and the sliding sensation of the animation stand induce a certain cognitive state. Through this process, the onlooker is more likely to imbue a two-dimensional character with a multidimensional, metaphysical presence.

The Peh Cun tradition is an Indonesian tradition that is acculturated with Chinese culture. The celebration of the Peh Cun tradition in Tangerang City is one of the oldest Peh Cun celebrations in Indonesia. In the celebration of Peh Cun there are many activities carried out such as: prayer, dragon boat race, eating Bacang, and also the people's market. The purpose of this design is to participate in preserving and introducing the Peh Cun tradition of the Chinese Benteng community in Tangerang to the Indonesian people with an age range of 7-20 years through the medium of short animated films. The benefits of this design are expected to increase public knowledge about one of the acculturation cultures that exist in Indonesia so that this culture remains sustainable. The design of the short animated film is carried out in a two-dimensional style suitable for cartoon type films so that it can be enjoyed by various ages, and the distribution of this short film is carried out through social media such as Instagram and Youtube as an educational function.

Dynamic Reversibility

This note points out the relatively simple character of dynamically reversible flows. A flow is said to be dynamically reversible if the reversed flow is possible under the action of suitable forces. The velocity field in the case of such flows of a Newtonian fluid subjected to conservative body forces can be decomposed into two parts, one satisfying Laplace’s equation and the other, the conduction equation. An integral similar to Bernoulli’s integral can also be found. In addition, the vorticity in two-dimensional flows is constant along a streamline. The property of dynamic reversibility is enjoyed by many flows such as irrotational flows, unidirectional flow through pipes, and two-dimensional axisymmetric vortexes.

This article explores how animation can manipulate a reflexive intertextual framework which relates to religious prohibitions on artistic mimesis that might replicate and threaten God’s creative act. Animated films are most intertextually reflexive, in these terms, when they narrativize the movement of diegetic objects from another medium which also transgresses God’s prohibition: sculpture. In the media of both sculpture and animation, the act of mimesis is transgressive in fundamentally ontological terms, staging the illusion of creation by either replicating the form of living creatures in three-dimensional sculpture, or by giving the impression of animating the inanimate in two-dimensional film. Both media can generate artworks that directly comment on these processes by using narratives about the creative act which not only produce the illusion of life, but which produce diegetically real life itself. Such artworks are intensely reflexive, and engage with one another in an intertextual manner. The article traces this process from the pre-historic and early historic religious, mythic and philosophical meditations which structure ideas about mimetic representations of life, via Classical and Early Modern sculpture, through a radical proto-feminist revision crystallizing around the monstrous consequences of the transgression in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and finally into film and more specifically animation. The article culminates with a relatively detailed account of these processes in the Toy Story franchise, which is a heightened example of how animation can stage a narrative in which ostensibly inanimate sculpted toys move of their own volition, and of how this double form of animation does this reflexively, by ontologically performing the toys’ animating act. The animated films analysed also engage with the transgressive and monstrous consequences of this double form of animation, which derive from the intertextual life of those narratives that challenge God’s prohibition on mimesis.

2. The geometry which is involved is of a novel but simple character. It is entirely two-dimensional so long as patterns in two dimensions are in view. Two figures are looked upon as identical only when they can be made to coincide by movements in the plane. If two figures be such that one is the image of the other, but not identical with it, and one be denoted by a , the other is conveniently denoted by l a , and, when necessary, the position of the line which determines the position of the image will be stated. If a point α. be joined to a fixed point O in the plane and the line αO be produced an equal distance to α'; α, α' are the point images of one another (or are in point symmetry) with respect to the point O.

I should like to give you a very condensed progress report on some spectrophotometric measurements of objective-prism spectra made in collaboration with H. Leicher at Bonn. The procedure used is almost completely automatic. The measurements are made with the help of a semi-automatic fully digitized registering microphotometer constructed by Hög-Hamburg. The reductions are carried out with the aid of a number of interconnected programmes written for the computer IBM 7090, beginning with the output of the photometer in the form of punched cards and ending with the printing-out of the final two-dimensional classifications.

1. The definition of “normal” stars in spectral classification changes with time; at the time of the publication of theYerkes Spectral Atlasthe term “normal” was applied to stars whose spectra could be fitted smoothly into a two-dimensional array. Thus, at that time, weak-lined spectra (RR Lyrae and HD 140283) would have been considered peculiar. At the present time we would tend to classify such spectra as “normal”—in a more complicated classification scheme which would have a parameter varying with metallic-line intensity within a specific spectral subdivision.

“Dynamical mixing”, i.e. relaxation of a stellar phase space distribution through interaction with the mean gravitational field, is numerically investigated for a one-dimensional self-gravitating stellar gas. Qualitative results are presented in the form of a motion picture of the flow of phase points (representing homogeneous slabs of stars) in two-dimensional phase space.

AbstractIn this paper we present complete two-dimensional measurements of the observed brightness of the 9th November 1990Hαflare, using a PDS microdensitometer scanner and image processing software MIDAS. The resulting isophotal contour maps, were used to describe morphological-cum-temporal behaviour of the flare and also the kernels of the flare. Correlation of theHαflare with SXR and MW radiations were also studied.

This tutorial will discuss the methodology of low dose electron diffraction and imaging of crystalline biological objects, the problems of data interpretation for two-dimensional projected density maps of glucose embedded protein crystals, the factors to be considered in combining tilt data from three-dimensional crystals, and finally, the prospects of achieving a high resolution three-dimensional density map of a biological crystal. This methodology will be illustrated using two proteins under investigation in our laboratory, the T4 DNA helix destabilizing protein gp32*I and the crotoxin complex crystal.
