Transmission Of Information

Visuals – images – are a globally understandable exchange and copyable transmission of information. “O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space,” Hamlet noticed. We also use our Coronavirus home office for experimental journeys in the Renaissance and Baroque periods. As in the 15th / 16th / 17th Century, worlds far away from us were discovered, and we embark on digital adventures that are temporary, simultaneous, synchronous, asynchronous, independent of location. We decided to work with digital photography as a visual method for mainly two reasons. First, taking photos can be done relatively easy during a shut down in the home office. We can train creativity and visual perception without being in a university's studio. Second, photographs can be analyzed and compared with paintings and therefore criticized by their motifs, aesthetic representation, and within their time frame. Our visual souvenirs are photographs and videos in the mirror of illusion, immersion, and imagination

The Way

The work builds on Martin Jane’s text “Skopic Regimes of Modernity” and follows the set rhythm. Text has a fund of physical, physiological, psychological, artistic, and artistic knowledge as a broad culturalgnoseological network of information tendentiously put into the notes; it produces a resource for constantly correlating meaningfully and referring to it focuses on their own visual research issues. In this way, it can bring the vision of a dominant sense to perception in no way as conception, presentation, understanding of reality, and the way this visual perception is expressed in the Italian Renaissance painting and in the Flemish one from the 17th century.

The research analyzes the network of the Ragusan Jews between the end of 16th and the begin of 17th century. It focalized the social and economic links of the Sephardic group as “trait d’union” of the Adriatic-Balkan trade networks. The research is focused on time frame 1585-1635 in chronological continuity to the studies of Alberto Tenenti, indeed he was the first scholar to draw the attention to the turning point of the trade structure in the Republic of Ragusa in the year 1590 because the arise of the Sephardic merchants.

Abstract Insufficient development of speech and poor command of it interferes, in turn, with its perception by ear, even with the help of sound-amplifying equipment, complicates its understanding, comprehension and transmission of information in the process of communication, at least in an elementary form. Today, in different countries of the world, educational aids are being developed - devices and devices that provide children in need of this with filling the deficit of information about sounding speech, complementing the feedback structure by connecting visual perception. We have developed a computer program “Home speech therapists” to improve speech in children after cochlear implant.

This chapter discusses the phenomenon of ‘synaesthesia’, the phenomenon in which a visual perception gives rise to a musical sense-impression, or vice-versa. The chapter covers over one hundred years of artists, composers, and inventors developing sculptures, instruments, and systems to transcode visual data into sonic material. This time frame encompasses mechanical, analogue, digital, and hybrid systems. Most of the algorithmic procedures in these case studies are not reversible; in other words, the visuals cannot be generated from the sound. In many cases the visual aspect is not even meant to be seen as part of the experience, while in others the visual aspect is an equal partner in a synaethestic experience.

Phonetic Features

Normal-hearing and hearing-impaired subjects with good lipreading skills lipread videotaped material under visual-only conditions. V 1 CV 2 utterances were used where V could he /i/, /æ/ or/u/ and C could be /p/, /t/, /k/, /t∫/, /f/, /Θ/, /s/, /∫/ or/w/.Coarticulatory effects were present in these stimuli. The influence of phonetic context on lipreading scores for each V and C was analyzed in an effort to explain some of the variability in the visual perception of phonemes which was suggested by existing literature. Transmission of information for four phonetic features was also analyzed. Lipreading performance was nearly perfect for/p/,/f7,/w/,/Θ/and/u/. Lipreading performance on/t/,/k/,/t∫/,/∫/,/s/,/i/and/æ/depended on context. The features labial, rounded, and alveolar or palatal place of articulation were found to transmit more information to lipreaders than did the feature continuant. Variability in articulatory parameters resulting from coarticulatory effects appears to increase overall lipreading difficulty.

The paper deals with the names of some items of material culture presented in the decree on attributes of an escort of the Manchurian governor Hung Taiji for the festive ceremony held in honor of granting him the title ‘Gracious Peaceful Bogdo-Khan’ in 1636. The decree is presented in the written monument “Truthful record about Mongols of the Qing Empire” published in Classic Mongolian in 2013 in Huhe-Hoto (People's Republic of China). It is revealed that naming of a number of objects under study was based on visual perception of their form and acoustical associations their action produced. So, names of such pieces of material culture as sarqalǰi ‘staff mace’, ǰida ‘spear’, etc. are connected with the image ‘something peaked’, baγbur ‘bowl’ with the image ‘something stocky’, longqu ‘bottle’ with the image ‘something big-bellied’, qubing ‘jug’ with the image ‘something narrow (about a neck)’, manǰilγa ‘fringe’ with the image ‘something long, trailing’. Etymologies of the words saγadaγ ‘quiver’ from a preverb *saγa [tata-] ‘to snatch out’, manǰilγa ‘fringe’, etc. are presented for the first time. The naming of tuγ ‘banner’ occurred on the basis of acoustical perception of its fluttering. The list contains loanwords from Chinese and Sanskrit. The analysis of the Chinese variants of lexemes showed that in certain cases their meaning is more precise, than that of Mongolian words. Consideration of compound words revealed a similar mechanism of naming process for some other pieces of material culture in Mongolian and Chinese of the 17th century. In the Chinese variant of the monument the word 撒带sā dài is a transliteration of the Mongolian word saγadaγ ‘quiver’. It demonstrates the importance of the Mongolian culture in the life of the Manchurian emperors’ Court. Mongolian, in turn, borrows some elements from Chinese which are used as an explanation to the main component of a compound word. So, the consideration of the etymology of the words designating elements of material culture showed some specificity of Mongolian in the way it reflects both real and mental worlds.

Lappin and Fuqua (1983 Science221 480 – 482) reported accurate measurement of three-dimensional (3-D) distances and suggested that performance was based on structural invariance of patterns undergoing perspective transformations. We wanted to replicate their basic findings and test specific hypotheses about the use of Euclidean cues versus affine or projective invariants. The displays consisted of orthographic and perspective projections of three collinear dots rotating rigidly around a fixed centre in a plane slanted 45° in depth. Observers were asked to decide whether the middle of the three dots was exactly centred in 3-D space between the other two dots. The visible rotation segments were 120°, 160°, or 200° and the displacements were 2%, 4%, or 6%. Although our untrained observers performed more poorly overall than Lappin's well-practiced observers, two main results were replicated. First, there was no effect of segment size, which suggests that Euclidean cues were not used. Second, there was no difference between orthographic and perspective displays, which suggests that the invariants used must be projective, not affine. Additional experiments will be performed to investigate the relative importance of invariants such as cross ratios, which are based on the positions of the dots within each time frame, versus invariants of the conic sections, which are based on the elliptic traces of the dots formed over time.

Visual Method

In many studies, fluorescent dyes (ethidium bromide [EB] and acridine orange [AO]) are used to stain DNA to determine if nuclei are apoptotic. However, there are numerous visual methods for counting these stained DNA that may lead to inaccuracies Measuring apoptosis by the visual counting method may be imprecise because of the variability of individuals’ perception of color. Therefore, the authors compared a visual method of counting chromatin for apoptosis with a method relying on a computer program. They began counting chromatin using the visual method, in which individuals identify the stained DNA using their own visual perception. For comparison, they used a software-based counting method (analySIS software) to determine the color (hue) of the stained DNA. Using the numeric hue values from the software eliminates the variations in human color perception. Intra and interrater reliability of the visual and computerassisted counting methods were evaluated with Spearman’s. The authors found statistical significance in the intrarater reliability (r = 1.0,P = 0.0001 for all chromatin categories) and interrater reliability (r = 0.975,P = 0.005 for both readings) when using the software program. No statistical significance was found for the visual counting method, indicating inaccuracy between and within raters. Thus, the computerassisted counting method of identifying the damaged DNA is more accurate and precise than the individual’s visual perception of color. Based on these data, apoptosis measurements using color staining with EB and AO should be determined using hue values generated by a computer program and not by a researcher’s visual assessment.
