Tame Impala Technical Artwork"}, {"text": "?Corporel is a 1985 musical performance piece by composer Vinko Globokar. It calls for the performer to use their body as instrument, often by striking the body. About the composer. Vinko Globokar is a French-Slovenian avant-garde trombonist and composer. He studied composition with Luciano Berio and Karlheinz Stockhausen and was influenced by Mauricio Kagel, a composer of instrumental theater pieces who was known for his unorthodox use of instruments to create a variety of sounds. Globokar's music focuses on creativity and free improvisation, with a heavy emphasis on the performer and their interpretation of the piece. Many researchers consider \"?Corporel\" to be a protest against what he called \"Badabum\", the idea that one instrument can only make one sound, which led composers to add a new instrument to their pieces every time a new sound was needed rather than figuring out how to get new sounds out of the instruments already being used. Globokar asserted that every instrument can make more than one sound, even if those sounds aren't natural for the instrument, and he argues this point in \"?Corporel\" by writing an entire piece that uses only the performer's body and voice as the instrument. Performance practice. Globokar instructs"}, {"text": "that \"?Corporel\" is to be performed wearing canvas shorts, with a bare chest and bare feet. This allows the performer to strike their skin directly, producing a sound that can be heard in the audience much more easily than if they were striking themselves through clothing. However, this produces an issue for female percussionists who perform the piece. As percussionist Steven Schick writes, \"It is admittedly a risky proposition for many musicians to perform shirtless. For women these issues are compounded.\" Several variations on the dress have been made by women who have performed the piece, from performing it completely shirtless as Globokar indicates to performing it completely clothed. Techniques. There are two main categories of sounds in \"?Corporel\": those produced by the voice and those produced by the performer striking their body. The vocal sounds can be further divided into exhalations on the consonants \"h\", \"f\", \"s\", \"sch (shh)\", and a rolled \"r\" and inhalations on the consonants \"t\", \"p\", \"k\", \"g\", and \"d\". Globokar also incorporates the extended vocal techniques of kissing sounds, high and low clucks of the tongue, inhalations on \"ts\", and open-throated inhales. Other sounds used include the chattering of teeth, hums, snores, screams of"}, {"text": "\"Ah!\" and, at one point, the recitation of a quote. The percussive sounds in the piece are produced by the performer sliding their hands over their body at various speeds and striking bony and fleshy areas from the head down to the feet. Snaps and claps are also used in a small section of the piece. The exact areas used to produce bony and fleshy struck sounds are left to the discretion of the performer. Form. \"?Corporel\" is divided into six sections, which are separated by a fermata, a transitional section, and then another fermata. These sections progress from exploratory to progressively more frantic and violent. The progression is interrupted in the last section of the piece by the recitation of part of a poem by French poet Ren\u00e9 Char: \"I recently read the following remark: The history of mankind is a long succession of synonyms for the same word. It is a duty to disprove this.\" After resuming the building of tension, the piece ends with a blow to the stomach, which Globokar writes should be performed \"as if hitting somebody else.\" The performer gives one final yell of \"Ah!\" with the hit and ends the piece \"doubled up\","}, {"text": "with \"eyes bulging\". Notation. The score for \"?Corporel\" is hand-written. Globokar writes the piece on two staves, which correspond to the upper and lower halves of the body. Vocals are written on the highest part of the top staff. Globokar combines standard and graphic notation systems in \"?Corporel\". Rhythmic sections use standard notation with a strict meter and tempo, while gestural sections of the piece use graphic notation, with one centimeter of horizontal space corresponding to one second of sound or motion. Hard consonants are followed by rests, while soft consonants are followed by a line to indicate duration, direction, and speed. Rubbing gestures followed by a straight line are to be performed at a consistent speed, while motions followed by jagged lines are meant to speed up and slow down. Filled and open noteheads, respectively, are used to represent strikes to bony surfaces or hard consonants versus strikes on fleshy areas or extended vocal techniques. An 'x' is used as a notehead to represent finger snaps and hand claps. Chattering teeth are represented by vertical lines, and snores are drawn as vertical lines with arrows pointing in opposite directions. Globokar also includes written instructions about the position of the"}, {"text": "performer's body throughout the piece. Interpretations. In his book \"The Percussionist's Art\", percussionist Steven Schick notes that the lack of clothing worn by the performer in \"?Corporel\" undermines the audience's expectations about the concert experience. Percussionist Karlyn Mason states that the vulnerability of the performer allows the audience to identify with them. This relationship is added to by the humming, snoring, and yawning of the performer during the transitions. These are all actions that audience members can relate to, which makes it even more disturbing when the performer resumes beating themselves out of apparent madness. These beatings are contrasted with the section in which the performer recites the text from Char's poem and \"...is still, finally freed from the tasks of music and the tics of theater...\" Globokar gives the option of reciting it in the original French or the language native to the place it is being performed and provides no instruction as to how the text is to be spoken.

Schick asserts that the issue of the body as both universal and unique is central to \"?Corporel\", and that the piece is rife with contradictions.

Atop of the mast is an octagonal capital where the 16 petals are attached. 10-meter petals are constructed of a woven polyester fiber membrane coated with polyvinyl chloride for water resistance. There are eight supporting points where the membrane is stretched over to form the natural shape of the petal.

The Gupta period is generally regarded as a classic peak and golden age of North Indian art for all the major religious groups. Gupta art is characterized by its \"Classical decorum\", in contrast to the subsequent Indian medieval art, which \"subordinated the figure to the larger religious purpose\". Although painting was evidently widespread, the surviving works are almost all religious sculpture. The period saw the emergence of the iconic carved stone deity in Hindu art, while the production of the Buddha-figure and Jain \"tirthankara\" figures continued to expand, the latter often on a very large scale. The traditional main centre of sculpture was Mathura, which continued to flourish, with the art of Gandhara, the centre of Greco-Buddhist art just beyond the northern border of Gupta territory, continuing to exert influence. Other centres emerged during the period, especially at Sarnath. Both Mathura and Sarnath exported sculpture to other parts of northern India.

Their region contained very important sites such as the Ajanta Caves and Elephanta Caves, both mostly created in this period, and the Ellora Caves which were probably begun then. Also, although the empire lost its western territories by about 500, the artistic style continued to be used across most of northern India until about 550, and arguably around 650. It was then followed by the \"Post-Gupta\" period, with (to a reducing extent over time) many similar characteristics; Harle ends this around 950. In general the style was very consistent across the empire and the other kingdoms where it was used. The vast majority of surviving works are religious sculpture, mostly in stone with some in metal or terracotta, and architecture, mostly in stone with some in brick. The Ajanta Caves are virtually the sole survival from what was evidently a large and sophisticated body of painting, and the very fine coinage the main survivals in metalwork. Gupta India produced both textiles and jewellery, which are only known from representations in sculpture and especially the paintings at Ajanta. Background. Gupta art"}, {"text": "was preceded by Kushan art, the art of the Kushan Empire in northern India, which flourished between the 1st and the 4th century CE and blended the tradition of the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara, influenced by Hellenistic artistic canons, and the more Indian art of Mathura. In Western India, as visible in Devnimori, the Western Satraps (1st\u20134th century CE) developed a refined art, representing a Western Indian artistic tradition that was anterior to the rise of Gupta art, and which may have influenced not only the latter, but also the art of the Ajanta Caves, Sarnath and other places from the 5th century onward. In central India, the art of the Satavahanas had already created a rich Indian artistic idiom, as visible in Sanchi, which also influenced Gupta art. With the conquests of Samudragupta (r.c. 335/350-375 CE) and Chandragupta II (r.c. 380 \u2013 c. 415 CE), the Gupta Empire came to incorporate vast portions of central, northern and northwestern India, as far as the Punjab and the Arabian sea, continuing and expanding on these earlier artistic traditions and developing a unique Gupta style, rising \"to heights of sophistication, elegance and glory\". Unlike some other Indian dynasties before and after them,"}, {"text": "and with the exception of the imagery on their coins, the Gupta imperial family did not advertise their relationship to the art produced under them by inscriptions, let alone portraits that have survived. Early chronology. There are several pieces of statuary from the Gupta period which are inscribed with a date. They work as a benchmark for the chronology and the evolution of style under the Guptas. These Gupta statues are dated from the Gupta era (which starts in 318\u2013319 CE), and sometimes mention the reigning ruler of that time. Besides statuary, coinage is also an important chronological indicator. Although the Gupta Empire is reckoned to start after King Gupta in the late 3rd century CE, the earliest known and dated sculptures of Gupta art come relatively late, about a century later, after the conquest of northwestern India under Samudragupta. Among the earliest is recording the installation of two Shiva Lingas in Mathura in 380 CE under Chandragupta II, Samudragupta's successor. Another rare example is a statue of a seated Bodhisattva in the Mathura style with dhoti and shawl on the left shoulder, coming from Bodh Gaya and dated to \"year 64\", presumably of the Gupta era, thought to be"}, {"text": "384 CE. This type remained a rare occurrence, as in most of the later Gupta statues the Buddha would be shown with the \"samghati\" monastic robe covering both shoulders. Coinage too was a relatively late development, also consecutive to Samugragupta's conquest of the northwest. The Gupta coinage was initially in imitation of the Kushan types. Style. The Gupta style of statuary, especially as seen in the Buddha images, is characterized by several formative traits: ornate halos with floral and gem motifs, clothes with thin diaphanous drapery, specific hair curls, meditative eyes, elongated earlobes, relatively thick lower lips, and often three lines across the neck. Sculpture. Three main schools of Gupta sculpture are often recognised, based in Mathura, Varanasi/Sarnath and to a lesser extent Nalanda. The distinctively different stones used for sculptures exported from the main centres described below aids identification greatly. Both Hindu and Buddhist sculpture concentrate on large, often near life-size, figures of the major deities, respectively Vishnu, Shiva and Buddha. The dynasty had a partiality to Vishnu, who now features more prominently, where the Kushan imperial family generally had preferred Shiva. Minor figures such as yakshi, which had been very prominent in preceding periods, are now smaller and"}, {"text": "less frequently represented, and the crowded scenes illustrating Jataka tales of the Buddha's previous lives are rare. When scenes include one of the major figures and other less important ones, there is a great difference in scale, with the major figures many times larger. This is also the case in representations of incidents from the Buddha's life, which earlier had shown all the figures on the same scale. The lingam was the central murti in most temples. Some new figures appear, including personifications of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers, not yet worshipped, but placed on either side of entrances; these were \"the two great rivers encompassing the Gupta heartland\". The main bodhisattva appear prominently in sculpture for the first time, as in the paintings at Ajanta. Hindu, Buddhist and Jain sculpture all show the same style, and there is a \"growing likeness of form\" between figures from the different religions, which continued after the Gupta period. The Indian stylistic tradition of representing the body as a series of \"smooth, very simplified planes\" is continued, though poses, especially in the many standing figures, are subtly tilted and varied, in contrast to the \"columnar rigidity\" of earlier figures.

Mathura school. The long-established Mathura school continued as one of the main two schools of Gupta Empire art, joined by the school of Varanasi and nearby Sarnath. Under the Guptas, Mathura remained primarily a center of Buddhist artistic activity and worship, but a few Hindu, especially Vaishnavite, sculptures started to appear. Mathura sculpture is characterized by its usage of mottled red stone from Karri in the district, and its foreign influences, continuing the traditions of the art of Gandhara and the art of the Kushans. The art of Mathura continued to become more sophisticated during the Gupta Empire. The pink sandstone sculptures of Mathura evolved during the Gupta period to reach a very high fineness of execution and delicacy in the modeling, displaying calm and serenity.

Artistic details tend to be less realistic, as seen in the symbolic shell-like curls used to render the hairstyle of the Buddha, and the orante halos around the head of the Buddhas. The art of the Gupta is often considered as the pinnacle of Indian Buddhist art, achieving a beautiful rendering of the Buddhist ideal. Gupta art is also characterized by an expansion of the Buddhist pantheon, with a high importance given to the Buddha himself and to new deities, including Bodhisattvas such as Avalokitesvara or divinities of Bramanical inspiration, and less focus on the events of the life of the Buddha which were abundantly illustrated through Jataka stories in the art of Bharhut and Sanchi (2nd\u20131st centuries BCE), or in the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara (1st\u20134th centuries CE). The Gupta art of Mathura was very influential throughout northern India, accompanied by a reducing of foreign influences; its style can be seen in Gupta statues to the east in areas as far as Allahabad, with the Mankuwar Buddha, dated to the reign of Kumaragupta I in 448. There are a number of \"problematical\" Buddhist and Jain images"}, {"text": "from Mathura whose dating is uncertain; many are dated with a low year number, but which era is being used is unclear. These may well come from the early Gupta period. Sarnath school. The Varanasi/ Sarnath style produced mainly Buddhist art, and \"Sarnath Buddhas are probably the greatest single achievement of the Indian sculptor\", largely setting the representation of the Buddha that was followed in eastern India and South-East Asia for many centuries, and the general representation of the human body in India. A number of dated examples show that the mature style did not develop until 450\u2013475. It is characterized by its yellowish sandstone from the quarries of Chunar, and lacks the foreign influences seen in Mathura. Folds on clothing have disappeared, and the clothing itself is extremely thin, to the point of being transparent. The halo has become large and is often elaborately decorated. The top edge of the eye-socket is very marked, forming a sharply carved edge. The Sarnath style was the origin of Buddha images in Siam, Cambodia and Java. Other centres.

This evolution suggests a third school of Gupta art in the area Nalanda and Pataliputra, besides the two main centres of Mathura and Vanarasi. The colossal Sultanganj Buddha in copper from the area of Pataliputra is a uniquely large survival from this school, but typical in style. In the same monastery two similar but much smaller (and slightly later) figures in stone were found, one now on display in the British Museum. The \"first dated sculptures in a fully-fledged early Gupta style\" come from the rock-cut Udayagiri Caves and the surrounding area near Vidisha in Madhya Pradesh. Though the caves, all but one Hindu, are \"of negligible importance architecturally\", around the cave entrances are a number of rock relief panels, some with large deities. They are in a relatively crude and heavy style, but often with a powerful impact; Harle describes the mukhalinga in Cave 4 as \"pulsating with psychic power\".

There are also other minor centres of Gupta sculpture, particularly in the areas of Dasapura and Mandasor, where a huge eight-faced mukhalinga (probably early 6th-century) found in the river has been reinstalled in the Pashupatinath Temple, Mandsaur. The Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara continued a late phase through at least most of the Gupta period, having also been a formative influence. Very important rock-cut sites outside the Gupta Empire proper, to the south, are the Ajanta Caves and Elephanta Caves, both mostly created in the Gupta period, and the Ellora Caves which were probably begun around the end of it. As it was mainly restricted to the Gangetic plain, the vast Gupta territories included relatively few rock-cut sites with much sculpture. The later Ajanta style of sculpture is somewhat heavy, but sometimes \"awe-inspiring\" in the large seated shrine Buddhas, but other smaller figures are often very fine, as is the ornamental carving"}, {"text": "on columns and door-frames. When combined with the painted walls, the effect can be considered over-decorated, and lacking \"motifs on a larger scale to serve as focal points\". The main internal carving was probably completed by 478, though votive figures to the sides of many cave entrances may be later. The Ajanta style is only seen at a few other sites nearby. After work ended there much of the skilled workforce, or their descendants, probably ended up working at Elephanta and then Ellora. Unlike the series of caves side by side at Ajanta, the main interest at Elephanta is the largest cave, a huge Shiva temple, and above all the colossal triple-bust (\"trimurti\") of Shiva, tall, which \"because it is so amazingly skilfully placed in relation to the various external entrances ... receives exactly the amount of light necessary to make it look as if it is emerging from a black void, manifestation from the unmanifest\". Also from the Mumbai area, the Parel Relief or (Parel Shiva) is an important late Gupta monolithic relief of Shiva in seven forms. Terracotta sculpture.

It has even been suggested that the art of the Western Satraps and Devnimori were at the origin of Gupta material culture, but this remains a subject of debate. The Gupta period saw the production of many sculptures in terracotta of very fine quality, and they are similar in style across the empire, to an even greater extent than the stone sculpture. Some can still be seen in their original settings on the brick temple at Bhitargaon, where the large relief panels have almost worn away, but various heads and figures survive at higher levels. The very elegant pair of river goddesses excavated from a temple at Ahichchhatra are 1.47 metres high. Sculpture in metal.

The Gupta Empire produced large numbers of gold coins depicting the Gupta kings performing various rituals, as well as silver coins clearly influenced by those of the earlier Western Satraps by Chandragupta II. Coinage. Gupta coinage only started with the reign of Samudragupta (335/350-375 CE), or possibly at the end of the reign of his father Chandragupta I, for whom only one coin type in his name is known (\"Chandragupta I and his queen\"), probably a commemorative issue minted by his son. The coinage of the Gupta Empire was initially derived from the coinage of the Kushan Empire, adopting its weight standard, techniques and designs, following the conquests of Samudragupta in the northwest. The Guptas even adopted from the Kushans the name of \"Dinara\" for their coinage, which ultimately came from the Roman name \"Denarius aureus\". The imagery on Gupta coins was initially derived from Kushan types, but the features soon became more Indian in both style and subject matter compared to earlier dynasties, where Greco-Roman and Persian styles were mostly followed. The usual layout is an obverse with a portrait of the king that is normally full-length, whether standing, seated or riding a horse, and on the reverse"}, {"text": "a goddess, most often seated on a throne.

They may also reflect influence from Sassanian silverware from Persia. The king standing and holding a bow to one side (the \"archer\" type) was used by at least eight kings; it may have been intended to associate the king with Rama. Profile heads of the king are used on some silver coins for Western provinces added to the empire. Some gold coins commemorate the Vedic Ashvamedha horse sacrifice ritual, which the Gupta kings practised; these have the sacrificial horse on the obverse and the queen on the reverse. Samudragupta is shown playing a string instrument, wearing huge earrings, but only a simple dhoti. The only type produced under Chandragupta I shows him and his queen standing side by side.

The silver coinage of the Guptas was made in imitation of the coinage of the Western Satraps following their overthrow by Chandragupta II, inserting the Gupta peacock symbol on the reverse but retaining traces of the Greek legend and the ruler's portrait on the obverse. Kumaragupta and Skandagupta continued with the old type of coins (the Garuda and the Peacock types) and also introduced some other new types. The copper coinage was mostly confined to the era of Chandragupta II and was more original in design. Eight out of the nine types known to have been struck by him have a figure of Garuda and the name of the king on it. The gradual deterioration in design and execution of the gold coins and the disappearance of silver money, bear ample evidence to their curtailed territory. Architecture. For reasons that are not entirely clear, for the most part the Gupta period represented a hiatus in Indian rock-cut architecture, with the first wave of construction finishing before the empire was assembled, and the second wave beginning in the late 5th century, just as it was ending."}, {"text": "This is the case, for example, at the Ajanta Caves, with an early group made by 220 CE at the latest, and a later one probably all after about 460. Instead, the period has left almost the first surviving free-standing structures in India, in particular the beginnings of Hindu temple architecture. As Milo Beach puts it: \"Under the Guptas, India was quick to join the rest of the medieval world in a passion for housing precious objects in stylized architectural frameworks\", the \"precious objects\" being primarily the icons of gods. The most famous remaining monuments in a broadly Gupta style, the caves at Ajanta, Elephanta, and Ellora (respectively Buddhist, Hindu, and mixed including Jain) were in fact produced under other dynasties in Central India, and in the case of Ellora after the Gupta period, but primarily reflect the monumentality and balance of Guptan style. Ajanta contains by far the most significant survivals of painting from this and the surrounding periods, showing a mature form which had probably had a long development, mainly in painting palaces.

Gop Temple in Gujarat (c. 550 or later) is an oddity, with no surviving close comparator. There are a number of different broad models, which would continue to be the case for more than a century after the Gupta period, but temples such as Tigawa and Sanchi Temple 17, which are small but massively built stone prostyle buildings with a sanctuary and a columned porch, show the most common basic plan that is elaborated in later temples to the present day. Both of these have flat roofs over the sanctuary, which would become uncommon by about the 8th century.

Pillars with inscriptions were erected, recording the main achievements of Gupta rulers. Whereas the Pillars of Ashoka were cylindrical, smooth and finished with the famous Mauryan polish, Gupta pillars had a rough surface often shaped into geometrical facets. Painting. Painting was evidently a major art in Gupta times, and the varied paintings of the Ajanta Caves, which are much the best survivals (almost the only ones), show a very mature style and technique, clearly the result of a well-developed tradition. Indeed, it is recorded that skill in amateur painting, especially portraits, was considered a desirable accomplishment among Gupta elites, including royalty. Ajanta was ruled by the powerful Vakataka dynasty, beyond the territory of the Gupta Empire, but it is thought to closely reflect the metropolitan Gupta style. The other survivals are from the Bagh Caves, now mostly removed to the Gujari Mahal Archaeological Museum in Gwalior Fort, Ellora, and Cave III of the Badami cave temples. At Ajanta, it is thought that established teams of painters, used to decorating palaces and temples elsewhere, were brought in when required to decorate a cave.

Four of the later caves have large and relatively well-preserved mural paintings which \"have come to represent Indian mural painting to the non-specialist\", and represent \"the great glories not only of Gupta but of all Indian art\". They fall into two stylistic groups, with the most famous in Caves 16 and 17, and what used to thought of as later paintings in Caves 1 and 2. However, the widely accepted new chronology proposed by Spink places both groups in the 5th century, probably before 478. The paintings are in \"dry fresco\", painted on top of a dry plaster surface rather than into wet plaster. All the paintings appear to be the work of painters supported by discriminating connoisseurship and sophisticated patrons from an urban atmosphere.

The Ajanta paintings have seriously deteriorated since they were rediscovered in 1819, and are now mostly hard to appreciate at the site. A number of early attempts to copy them met with misfortune. Only mural paintings survive, but it is clear from literary sources that portable paintings, including portraits, were common, probably including illustrated manuscripts. Chronology. The chronology of Gupta art is quite critical to the art history of the region. Fortunately, several statues are precisely dated, based on inscriptions referring to the various rulers of the Gupta Empire, and giving their regnal dates in the Gupta era.

The art of Sondani is considered as transitional between Gupta art and the art of Medieval India: it represents \"an aesthetic which hovered between the classical decorum of Gupta art on the one hand and on the other the medieval canons which subordinated the figure to the larger religious purpose\". Influences in Southeast Asia. Indian art, particularly Gupta and Post-Gupta art from Eastern India, was influential in the development of Hindu and Buddhist art in Southeast Asia from the 6th century CE.

Because of the poor preservation of these texts and the absence of the original Latin exemplar, it is hard to trace the development of the \"Breta s\u00f6gur\" from Latin to Old Norse-Icelandic. Because the author of \"Skj\u00f6ldunga saga\" was familiar with the \"Historia Regum Britanniae\", a version of the Latin text must have been available in Iceland by the end of the 12th century. However, Kalinke argues that AM 573 4to shows that a variant version of Geoffrey of Monmouth's text was used, one which was closer to romance than chronicle. In both versions, \"Breta s\u00f6gur\""}, {"text": "comes after the B-version of \"Tr\u00f3jumanna saga\", the Old Norse-Icelandic translation of Dares Phrygius's \"de excidio Trojae historia\". The \"Hauksb\u00f3k\" version of \"Breta s\u00f6gur\" contains the only extant copy of Gunnlaugr Leifsson's \"Merl\u00edn\u00fassp\u00e1\", a translation of Geoffrey of Monmouth's \"Prophetiae Merlini\". It is likely, though not proven, that Gunnlaugr was also responsible for translating \"Breta s\u00f6gur\". If not translated by Gunnlaugr himself, it is equally possible that it was translated by another monk at Thingeyrar Monastery. The longer version of the text represented in AM 573 4to is also evidenced in a 17th-century paper copy (Stock. Papp. fol. no. 58) of the lost \"Ormsb\u00f3k\". However, this copy is incomplete and finishes before the Arthurian material begins. Sections from this longer version were incorporated into the universal history section of Reynista\u00f0arb\u00f3k (AM 764 4to), copied either from AM 573 4to or from a manuscript closely linked to it.

The first was a collaboration between the Veneto and the Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions and Slovenia for a regional oversight project called \u201cDevelopment of studies monitoring activities of the evolution of the sea coast"}, {"text": "ecosystem aimed at safeguard, integrated management and enhancement of the resources of the sea.\u201d The second was part of the 6th three-year national plan for Fishing and Aquaculture called \u201cThe tegnue: studies of some areas of particular environmental interest for the enhancement of local halieutic resources and nature safeguard.\u201d The third was part of an \u201cInterventions for the safeguard and enhancement of a repopulation sea oasis called Porto Falconara Tegnua\u201d project which was part of a plan for the Caorle area. The aims of the projects were to establish the Upper Adriatic Observatory as a regional hub, to coordinate the activities of local authorities, organisations and research institutes, to provide technical, scientific and service support for the regional policies regarding the improvement and safeguard of the quality of the coastal sea waters, to establish a Veneto sea databank, to establish monitoring of pollution, to enhance and support sustainable tourist activities, to safeguard and enhance areas of natural interest, to promote and disseminate information for an environmental education culture, and to study some areas of particular environmental interest for the enhancement of local fishing resources and the safeguard of nature. ARPAV carried out geomorphologic and granulometric, structural, mineralogical and biological research."}, {"text": "The results were published by ARPAV in conjunction with the Natural History Museum of Venice in 2010 with the title \u201cThe Upper Adriatic tegnue: enhancement of marine resources through the study of areas of environmental value\u201d. The printed edition is out of print, but it can be downloaded from the ARPAV website. Eight tegnue have been mapped out off the Veneto shore of the Gulf of Venice: The Caorle tegnua is off the shore of Caorle. The Cavallino Vicina, D\u2019Ancona, Cavallino Lontana and Sorse tegnue are off the shore of Cavallino peninsula. The Malamocco and Venezia are off the shore of the Lido di Venezia island. The Chioggia tegnua is off the shore of Sottomarina peninsula, Chioggia. Morphology. The sizes of the tegnue can be very different, from a few to several thousands of square metres, with elevations from the bottom form a few tens of centimetres in the low formations, sometimes called \"lastrure\" (slab formations) and a few metres in the higher ones, which are often found at greater depths. There are three types of formations: Often the different typologies coexist. In various cases the organogenic formations can develop on top of structures of sedimentary nature, covering them with"}, {"text": "layers of variable thickness in the same way in which they can colonise artificial substrates of human origin. The importance of the vegetable part in organopgenic construction over the animal ones is highly variable and subject to water brightness factors; that is, linked to the depth and turbidity of the waters. The morphology is very irregular. There are surfaces very rich in micro crevices and have high diversity. They are often called reefs, but compared to tropical sea coral reefs, which are derived from the action of hermatype organisms (reef-building coral) which need hot and clear water, the tegnue, given the turbidity of the local water, do not substantially depend on photosynthesis processes at a benthos level. They lie in highly turbid waters due to a high quantity of suspended material of fluvial origin which reduces brightness of the bottom. However, this is also a rich source of nutrients for filter feeders and detritivores (which obtain nutrients by consuming detritus, decomposing plant and animal parts and faeces) which constitute the dominant element of the tegnue population. Many reefs, particularly the larger ones, are surrounded by a course belt of debris with variable sizes, up to several metres, accumulated by the"}, {"text": "currents and characterised by populations which mainly pertains to coastal debris. It cannot be ruled out that the reefs can even be derived from bioconcentration phenomena activated on large accumulations of debris deposited in the gaps between fossil dunes, as it has been noted off the Cavallino peninsula coast, or caused by a particularly dense presence of \"Pinna nobilis\" (noble pen shell) populations in the past. In the reefs in this area there are structures of consolidated debris in small oranogenic patches scattered irregularly in a wide shell debris area. Various hundreds of \"Pinna nobilis\" were sticking out of the bottom for over 30/40 cm, causing an accumulation of coarse shell debris rich in encrusted organisms and widely colonised by venus clams (\"Venus verrucosa\"). Because of the uniqueness of these areas, after their discovery there was intense fishing with turboblowers which probably had strong negative impact. Research on the origins of the tegnue. The Istituto di Science Marine (Marine Science Institute) of the CNR, the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerce (National Research Council), coordinated a research on origins of the tegnue in conjunction with the University of Padua, OIGS, Istituto nazionale di oceanografia e di geofisica sperimentale (National Institute of Experimental"}, {"text": "Oceanography and Geophysics), ISPRA Istituto superiore per la protezione e la ricerca ambientale (Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research) and the Argentinian CONICET, Consejo Nacional de investigaciones cient\u00edficas y t\u00e9cnicas (National Council of Scientific and Technical Investigation). The results were published as an article called \"Paleochannel and beach-bar palimpsest topography as initial substrate for coralligenous buildups offshore Venice, Italy\" in 2017. Venezia Today provided a brief coverage of the report. These coralline formations are an anomaly compared to the dendritic bottom of sand and loam on which they rest. To improve the understanding of these formations researchers carried out more than 200 dives to map the morphology and bathymetry of the sea bottom on which they rest, took samples of loose rocks and sediments and placed wells to analyse the water in the depths of the sea. Previous genetic models were not satisfactory, so the samples were analysed in a laboratory. This has shown that the tegnue developed along elongated morphological structures of ancient fluvial channels present in the plain of the bottom of the sea which was above water during the last glacial period some 20,000 years ago. The sediments have been dated to 9,000 years ago and"}, {"text": "their hardening on which the first organisms became attached occurred 7,000 years ago. Ecology. The Gulf of Venice has a very high area/water volume relationship due to its shallowness; the sea bottom rarely reaches a depth beyond -30 m. This decreases the grater heating of seas relative to the atmosphere's climate pattern. Its morphology tends to slow down the speed of water turnover. These factors coupled with being at the highest latitude of the Mediterranean Sea and the input of or high volumes of relatively cold freshwater from the rivers from the Alps create a peculiar climate pattern which switches from warm temperate/subtropical in the summer to cold/subpolar ones in the winter. Fluvial freshwater diseases salinity and also brings in sediments and nutrients form the mainland. All of this has a selective action on the marine species which populate it. As a result, in the Upper Adriatic Sea there is an absence of some typically Mediterranean species. This is called the \u201cUpper Adriatic lacuna.\u201d There are, instead, species typical of more northern areas with Atlantic-boreal affinities such as \"Fucus virsoides\" brown algae and \"Littorina saxatilis\" sea snails. This gives the Gulf of Venice ecologic characteristics similar to the sub-Atlantic zone."}, {"text": "Being scattered and at varied depths and environmentally, morphologically and structurally heterogeneous, the tegnue develop diversified populations both in the different sites and within the same Biotypes in a mosaic of microenvironments which makes the comparison of their populations difficult. The mentioned environmental peculiarity of the Gulf of Venice contributes to make the populations of these ridges peculiar; similar but not juxtaposed with the other populations of the Mediterranean Sea. These \"islands\" of solid substrate in the homogeneous expanse of the sand/mud of the sea bottoms create, locally, areas rich in microenvironments which favour an increase in the diversity of organism populations which need adherence to a solid surface and can settle in such substrates and the areas around them. Their location in not excessively deep and eutrophic waters favour an increase in biomass and the number of species thanks to the support and the protection offered by the solid substrates together with their vertical gradient given by their sticking up from the bottom and the enormous food availability in the form of already sedimented suspended organic material. Oases with extreme biologic richness with an increase in the number of species and also a considerable biomass per surface unit are"}, {"text": "thus formed. These areas are also extremely favourable for egg deposition, ogive-shaped capsules, larvae or reproductive forms which need a solid anchorage. The numerous cavities and crevices and the richness and diversity of the available food spectrum favour the development of juvenile forms of numerous species, reducing mortality. The equilibrium within such complex biocoenosis is determined by interactions between environmental and biological factors whose variations can modify the equilibria which define it. The tegnue seem to also create a marked diversification of populations within themselves due to the abundance of microenvironments and ridges and their distribution from the low-depth coastal areas more directly influenced by continental fluvial inputs to more offshore ones under greater water pressure in a high sedimentation and low brightness regime. Fauna. There are \"Porifera\" (sponge) species, including \"Suberites carnosus\", both encrusted and digitate (with finger-like lobes), \"Suberites domuncula\", which in these environments can easily find hermit crabs (\"Pagurus\"), with which they are symbiotic, \"Chondrosia reniformis\" (a demosponge), which often has digitations in its irregularities, \"Aplysina aerophoba\", \"Ircinia variabilis\" and \"Dysideidae\" sea sponges, which can form dense schools. There are several species of \"Cliona\" genus of demisponges, the most of which common are \"Cliona viridis\", \"Raspaciona aculeata\","}, {"text": "\"Raspailia typica\", \"Geodia cydonium\" and \"Tethya citrina\". There are \"Cnidaria\" (a phylum of more than 9,000 species that includes the corals, hydras, jellyfish, sea anemones, sea pens, sea whips, and sea fans) with dense colonies of \"Hydrozoa\", several species of sea anemones, large specimens of \"Cerianthus membranaceus\" (cylinder anemones), which are often found in mobile substrates close to the solid structures, ringed worms (\"annelids\"), among which there are very numerous \"Serpulidae\" which often cover any available surface piling on top of each other forming layers. \"Echinoderms\" have numerous species which are typically found in the biocoenosis of the tegnue, with sea cucumbers (\"Holothuroidea\") such as \"Ocnus planci\" and \"Holothuria polii\", starfish (\"Asteroidea\"), brittle stars (\"ophiuroids\") with \"Ophiothrix fragilis\" populations, which are at times very dense, and sea urchins (\"Echinoidea\") such as \"Paracentrotus lividus\", \"Gracilechinus acutus\" and \"Sphaerechinus granularis\". The \"Bryozoa\" (moss animals) colonies, both encrusted and erected, such as the molluscs Arca noae (Noah's Ark shells), \"Mimachlamys varia\" (a genus of scallops) and queen scallops (\"Aequipecten opercularis\"), are very dense and are often epibiont (live on the surface of another organisms). Among the many molluscs there are the sea snails \"Diodora graeca\" (Greek keyhole limpet) \"Diodora italica\" (Italian keyhole limpet)"}, {"text": "and \"Bolma rugosa\". There are numerous species of nudibranchs (soft-bodied, marine gastropod molluscs), which are often tied trophically to a sole species of sponges or hydrozoa (very small, predatory animals), as well as the big \"bivalvia\" such as fan mussels (\"Pinna nobilis\") and pen shells (\"Atrina pectinata\"), which are still common in the inner or proximal areas of the mobile substrates. There are many species of Tunicates among which there are the big and colourful colonies of \"Aplidium conicum\", the camouflaged \"Microcosmus vulgaris\", \"Ascidia mentula\", \"Polycitor adriaticus\" and the small \"ascidiacea\" (sea squirts filter feeders) of the \"Didemnum\" genus. The many species of fish include European congers (\"Conger conger\"), red scorpionfish (\"Scorpaena scrofa\"), brown meagres (\"Sciaena umbra\"), Mediterranean chromis (\"chromis chromis\"), brown combera (\"Serranus hepatus\"), shi drums (\"Umbrina cirrosa\"), poor cods (\"Trisopterus minutus\"), European basses (\"Dicentrarchus labrax\"), various species of \"Blenniidae\" (combtooth blennies) and European lobsters (\"Homarus gammarus\"). For some species, such as the European lobsters these are exclusive environments The tegnue under threat. The Tegnue have been adversely affected by pollution and local human activities. The Mediterranean Sea has become more and more polluted and the problem is worse in narrow basins and coastal areas more exposed from pollution"}, {"text": "for the land brought in by the waters of rivers. This is the case of the upper Adriatic, which is narrow and close to Italy's industrial heartland and its large intensive farming areas and where there is an extensive river network. On top of this there has been an increase in water turbidity in this basin. In the second half of the 20th century the last meadows of \"Posidonia oceanica\", a Mediterranean seagrass, which were previously widespread, disappeared in the Gulf of Venice. Locally the main sources of disruption are fishing and diving. Because of their nature, the tegnue were spared from trawling. However, in more recent times fishing with turboblowers and trawling with trawls with a protection chain at the bottom dragged by two high-power boasts enabled fishing ever closer and even above these reefs, causing considerable damage. The greater knowledge about the tegnue provided by research led to an increase of divers in these areas without protection and surveillance measures. Previously not many people knew about them and they were hard to find. Diving became cheaper, safer and affordable to a larger number of people.

Poaching by diving also had visible negative effects. There was a dramatic decrease in commercially valued species such as venus clams (\"Venus verrucose\"), which used to be numerous, through this kind of poaching. There was even greater damage to commercially sought-after species with a long growth period and late sexual maturity and their survival was threatened. One of the worse cases was that of the European lobster, which used to be characteristic in rocky formations and shipwrecks. They became confined to biotypes which were small, further offshore, did not protrude much form the bottom and were more difficult to reach and to find with sonars. Protected area.

State voters chose ten electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. A rapid recovery from the depression of 1920 and 1921, despite major Republican losses during the 1922 House elections placed the Republican Party \u2013 who gained a record popular-vote majority in the 1920 election \u2013 in a secure position despite the death of President Warren G.

More critically, the Democratic Party was mortally divided between its rural Southern faction led by William Gibbs McAdoo and its white ethnic urban northeastern faction led by New York Governor Al Smith. The revived Ku Klux Klan supported the rural faction and was in favor of Prohibition, whereas the white ethnic faction was firmly against the anti-Catholic Klan and opposed to Prohibition.

The older dome for the 12.8 inch refractor has been called a 'drum dome' whereas the 28-inch is called the 'onion dome'. The original 1893 dome was made by Messrs T. Cooke and Sons. The new dome was needed because the 28-inch Grubb was longer than the 12.8 inch aperture Merz. The Grubb has a focal length of 27 feet and 10 inches, while the old Merz had a focal length of 17 feet and 10 inches. The tower diameter is smaller than the length of the new Grubb telescope, so the dome had to be bigger to accommodate its length. With refractors of this type, the focal length meant a real physical length between the objective and the focus point. Reflecting telescopes can 'fold' their focal length by using mirrors, so they can have a physical length shorter than their optical focal length.

As compared to other stem cell-based embryo models (e.g., Gastruloids), blastoids model the preimplantation stage and the integrated development of the conceptus including the embryo proper and the two extraembryonic tissues (trophectoderm and primitive endoderm). The blastoid is a model system for the study of mammalian development and disease.

The mission was developed by NASA's Explorers Program, and was launched on 31 December 2023 from Antarctica. Overview. GUSTO is expected to provide the first complete study of the life cycle of the interstellar medium, the gas and dust from which all stars and planets are formed. The mission is a Mission of Opportunity (MO) of NASA's Explorer's Program and is expected to cost about US$40 million.

The principal investigator is Christopher Walker at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. The telescope was lifted by a superpressure balloon to the stratosphere at an altitude of above Antarctica, at the edge of space.
