Overview and Current Status of Remote Sensing Applications Based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Uavs) Overview and Current Status of Remote Sensing Applications Based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) Gonzalo Pajares Abstract Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) is presently in continuous battery or energy system’s capabilities.

Thus, the overall goal of this paper is There are several different categorizations for unmanned aerial to provide a panoramic overview about the current status platforms depending on the criterion applied (Nonami et al., of remote sensing applications based on unmanned aerial 2010).

  • U1 Library Letter from 'Rhe Boston U1thenteum
    u1 Library 'rhe Boston Letter from u1thenteum No. 59 1\'IA Y 1954 A Franklin Exhibition ARLY in January, when I had just returned from a meeting of the Adminis­ trative Board of The Papers of Benjamin Franklin-sponsored jointly by the American Philosophical Society and Yale University-Me. Umberto Coletti­ Perucca called and offered the Athenreum one of the most delightful and unexpected gifts of recent years. This consisted of three terra-cotta medallions by Jean-Baptiste N ini ( 171 7-1 7 8 6) of Franklin, of his friend and landlord at Passy, Jacques-Donatien Le Ray de Chaumont, and of Queen Marie-Antoinette. These charming portraits are now on display in the Exhibition Room on the second floor. Benjamin Franklin's arrival in France produced an extraordinary rash of portraits, medallions and other likenesses, many of them embellished with the legend ERIPUIT COELO FULMEN SCEPTRUMQUE TIRANNIS which was applied to Franklin by Turgot. Madame de Campan in her Memoires sur la vie de Marie-Antoinette recalled that at the exposition of Sevres porcelain in the palace at Versailles, medallions of Franklin bearing this legend were sold "sous les yeux du roi." As Carl van Doren describes the multiplicity of Franklin portraits, "it was such a fad that Louis XVI, bored with the Comtesse Diane de Polignac's ardours over her American hero, is said to have presented her at New Year's with a vase de nuit of Sevres porcelain elegantly if sur­ prisingly adorned \vith Franklin's picture and his Latin epigram." This gift, attested to by Madame de Campan, was apparently not produced in a unique edition, for the Bostonian Society is reported, on trustworthy authority, to have had such an article \vi thin the present century, although they can produce at the present only a neatly mounted Sevres medallion of Franklin.

  • The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle
    The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle By Stefan Johannes Al A dissertation submitted in the partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor Greig Crysler Professor Ananya Roy Professor Michael Southworth Fall 2010 The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle © 2010 by Stefan Johannes Al Abstract The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle by Stefan Johannes Al Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Over the past 70 years, various actors have dramatically reconfigured the Las Vegas Strip in many forms. I claim that behind the Strip’s “reinventions” lies a process of symbolic destruction. Since resorts distinguish themselves symbolically, each new round of capital accumulation relies on the destruction of symbolic capital of existing resorts. A new resort either ups the language within a paradigm, or causes a paradigm shift, which devalues the previous resorts even further. This is why, in the context of the Strip, buildings have such a short lifespan. This dissertation is chronologically structured around the four building booms of new resort construction that occurred on the Strip. Historically, there are periodic waves of new casino resort constructions with continuous upgrades and renovation projects in between. They have been successively theorized as suburbanization, corporatization, Disneyfication, and global branding. Each building boom either conforms to a single paradigm or witnesses a paradigm shift halfway: these paradigms have been theorized as Wild West, Los Angeles Cool, Pop City, Corporate Modern, Disneyland, Sim City, and Starchitecture.
