The Poet In Transformation: Dantean Aesthetics In T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, Jamie Berlin
The Poet In Transformation: Dantean Aesthetics In T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, Jamie Berlin
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Dante was a seminal influence in T. S. Eliot’s poetry. Many scholars have acknowledged Eliot’s professed debt to Dante and have examined Eliot’s explicit imitations of Dante; however, few have pinpointed Dantean influences in non-explicit references to Dante, and few have credited the influence of a Dantean progress narrative across Eliot’s poem The Waste Land. This thesis broadly analyzes the principles of Dante’s aesthetic in the poem while analyzing the Sibyl, the Hanged Man, and the Prajapati parable for their relevance to Eliot’s aesthetic theory. When Dantean aesthetics and close readings of The Waste Land are compared with Eliot’s …
Image Reconstruction Through Polyfiltered Variation Minimization, Michael Hagen
Image Reconstruction Through Polyfiltered Variation Minimization, Michael Hagen
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
There has been considerable interest in reconstruction of remotely sensed imagery from incomplete frequency measurements for some time now. Given the nature of the collection process, it may be that portions of the spectrum are either missing or corrupted such that one is left with an incomplete representation of the original image. The advances in both the theory and available software for sparse signal reconstruction through function minimization make it an attractive approach for recreating the missing frequency data. It is the aim of this thesis to generalize the reconstruction technique known as Total Variation (TV) minimization from a signal …
