Construcción de la recta tangente variacional a traves de los usos del conocimiento del siglo XVII y XVIII

El presente trabajo es una investigación en curso. Una fuente de dificultades didácticas es la interpretación geométrica de la derivada, en donde la recta tangente no se considera como objeto de estudio. Nuestro planteamiento es que al construir la recta tangente desde una perspectiva variacional puede servir como una introducción a la derivada desde un punto de vista gráfico, lo cual implica también un rediseño del Discurso Matemático Escolar. Utilizamos la teoría de la Socioepistemología, en la cual se plantea que el uso de herramientas matemáticas para resolver actividades organizadas intencionalmente con la intención de resolver un problema, son una práctica, normadas por una práctica social. El escenario histórico nos ha servido para reconocer la práctica de la tangente variacional. Actualmente hemos implementado un método para obtener nuestros datos el cual nos servirá para que un futuro próximo podamos analizarlos y obtener conclusiones.

Electron impact excitation of Ar XVII

Energies for the lowest 49 levels among the 1s(2) and 1snl (n = 2-5) configurations of Ar XVII have been calculated using the GRASP code of Dyall et al. (1989, Comput. Phys. Comm., 55, 424). Additionally, radiative rates, oscillator strengths, and line strengths are calculated for all electric dipole (E1), magnetic dipole (M1), electric quadrupole (E2), and magnetic quadrupole (M2) transitions among these levels. Furthermore, collision strengths have also been calculated for all the 1176 transitions among the above 49 levels using the Dirac Atomic R-matrix Code (DARC) of Norrington & Grant (2005, Comput. Phys. Commun., in preparation), over a wide energy range up to 580 Ryd. Resonances have been resolved in the threshold region, and effective collision strengths have been obtained over a wide temperature range up to log T-e = 7.2 K. Comparisons are made with the limited results available in the literature, and the accuracy of the data is assessed. Our energy levels are estimated to be accurate to better than 0.1%, whereas results for other parameters are probably accurate to better than 20%.

Radiative rates for transitions in Fe XVII

Energies of the lowest 157 levels belonging to the (1s(2)) 2s(2)2p(6), 2s(2)p(5)3l, 2s(2)2p(5)4l, 2s(2)2p(5)4l, 2s2p(5)5l, 2s2p(6)4l and 2s2p(6)5l configurations of Fe XVII have been calculated using the GRASP code of Dyall et al. (1989). Additionally, radiative rates, oscillator strengths, and line strengths are calculated for all electric dipole (E I), magnetic dipole (M I), electric quadrupole (E2), and magnetic quadrupole (M2) transitions among these levels. Comparisons are made with the results already available in the literature, and the accuracy of the data is assessed. Our energy levels are expected to be accurate to better than M whereas results for other parameters are probably accurate to better than 20%.

Energy levels, radiative rates, and collision strengths for transitions in Fe XVII

Energy levels and radiative rates have been calculated for fine-structure transitions among the lowest 89 levels of the (1s(2)) 2s(2)2p(6), 2s(2) 2p(5) 3 l, 2s(2) 2p(5) 4l, 2s2p(6) 3 l, and 2s2p(6)4l configurations of Fe XVII using the GRASP code of Dyall et al. Collision strengths have also been calculated, for transitions among the lowest 55 levels, using the recently developed Dirac atomic R-matrix code (DARC) of Norrington & Grant. The results are compared with those available in the literature, and the accuracy of the data is assessed.

The redemption of the gaze: the crisis of observation in the "fin de siècle" and the advent of cinema

The intention of this article is not to affirm, but rather to question wether it is possible to speak of a loss of the ability to gaze in the context of the nineteenth century and especially in the context of the fin de siècle, in the bosom of the epistemological crisis that beset the Turn of the Century. And very especially, this article tries to question about the impact this crisis had, perhaps, in the birth of cinema. Is in this context that arises the work of Marey and the advent of the cinematograph of the Lumière brothers in the fin de siècle Europe, both of them showing a deep faith in a mechanical apparatus that would allow the redemption of a battered gaze. And it seems to be a dream that continues over time through the tradition of shooting the everyday life.

Effective collision strengths for transitions of Ni XVII

Electron impact excitation collision strengths are required for the analysis and interpretation of stellar observations. This calculation aims to provide fine structure effective collision strengths for the Ni XVII ion using a method which includes contributions from resonances. A DARC calculation has been performed, involving 37 J pi states. The effective collision strengths are calculated by averaging the electron collision strengths over a Maxwellian distribution of electron velocities. The non-zero effective collision strengths for transitions between the fine structure levels are given for electron temperatures (T(e)) in the range log(10) T(e)(K) = 4.5 - 8.5. Data for several transitions from the ground state are discussed in this paper.
