How Venetian glass influenced American artists and patrons during the late nineteenth century Sargent, Whistler, and Venetian Glass presents a broad exploration of American engagement with Venice's art world in the late nineteenth century. During this time, Americans in Venice not only encountered a floating city of palaces, museums, and churches, but also countless shop windows filled with dazzling specimens of brightly colored glass. Though the Venetian island of Murano had been a leading center of glass production since the Middle Ages, productivity bloomed between 1860 and 1915. This revival coincided with Venice's popularity as a destination on the Grand Tour, and resulted in depictions of Italian glassmakers and glass objects by leading American artists. In turn, their patrons visited glass furnaces and collected museum-quality, hand-blown goblets decorated with designs of flowers, dragons, and sea creatures, as well as mosaics, lace, and other examples of Venetian skill and creativity. This lavishly illustrated book examines exquisitely crafted glass pieces alongside paintings, watercolors, and prints of the same era by American artists who found inspiration in Venice, including Thomas Moran, Maria Oakey Dewing, Robert Frederick Blum, Charles Caryl Coleman, Maurice Prendergast, and Maxfield Parrish, in addition to John Singer Sargent and James McNeill Whistler. Italian glass had a profound influence on American art, literature, and design theory, as well as the period's ideas about gender, labor, and class relations. For artists such as Sargent and Whistler, and their patrons, glass objects were aesthetic emblems of history, beauty, and craftsmanship. From the furnaces of Murano to American parlors and museums, Sargent, Whistler, and Venetian Glass brings to life the imaginative energy and unique creations that beckoned tourists and artists alike.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Ingenieurwissenschaften - Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik, Note: 1,3, Hochschule Bremen, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Die Diplomarbeit "Moglichkeiten der Entscheidungsfindung in komlexen Situationen" von Felix Alexander Manns betrachtet insbesondere die Entscheidungsfindung im Cockpit eines Verkehrsflugzeugs. Das entwickelte Entscheidungsfindungsmodell FIT-FOR-DEC(c) sowie das grafische Bewertungssystem CRaphic(c) werden vorgestellt. Auch Automation und Situative Aufmerksamkeit werden im Zusammenhang mit Entscheidungsfindung betrachtet und der Stand der Forschung zum Thema Determination des Menschen prasentiert. Viele farbige Abbildungen. Ausfuhrliches Quellenverzeichnis., Abstract: In der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit soll die Entscheidungsfindung (EF) in komplexen Situationen untersucht werden. Arbeitsgrundlage ist dabei die zum Zeitpunkt der Bearbeitung aktuelle Literatur zu diesem Thema. Besonders zu erwahnen ist dabei das 2007 im Ashgate-Verlag erschienene Buch Decision Making in Complex Environments" herausgegeben von Malcom Cook, Jan Noyes und Yvonne Masakowski. In diesem Buch haben neben den Herausgebern 74 weitere Autoren Artikel zum Thema EF verfasst. Dieses Buch war der Ausgangspunkt der Bearbeitung. Neben der Einbeziehung weiterer Literatur wurde im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit Kontakt zur Flugsicherheitsabteilung der Deutschen Lufthansa AG sowie Lufthansa Flight Training aufgebaut. Die zurzeit angewendeten Modelle der EF sollen prasentiert werden. Dabei wird insbesondere die EF in der komplexen Umgebung eines Verkehrsflugzeugs betrachtet. Beispiele aus der Praxis sowie Flugun- und Zwischenfallen sollen die Zusammenhange bei der EF verdeutlichen. Dabei wird untersucht, welche Einflusse auf den Entscheider bzw. die Entscheider wirken und welche Folgen diese Einflusse auf die EF haben, um so ableiten zu konnen, wie die EF unter dem Bewusstsein von menschlichen Fehlern und Neigungen optimal durchgefuhrt werden
