Abstract

Waves in Oceanic and Coastal Waters describes the observation, analysis and prediction of wind-generated waves in the open ocean, in shelf seas, and in coastal regions with islands, channels, tidal flats and inlets, estuaries, fjords and lagoons. Most of this richly illustrated book is devoted to the physical aspects of waves. After introducing observation techniques for waves, both at sea and from space, the book defines the parameters that characterise waves. Using basic statistical and physical concepts, the author discusses the prediction of waves in oceanic and coastal waters, first in terms of generalised observations, and then in terms of the more theoretical framework of the spectral energy balance. He gives the results of established theories and also the direction in which research is developing. The book ends with a description of SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore), the preferred computer model of the engineering community for predicting waves in coastal waters.

Abstract

Dit cahier presenteert (in het tweede gedeelte) zo'n vijftig retabels, bewaard in Belgische kerken, kastelen en andere gebouwen. Na een korte beschrijving van het monument waar het retabel zich thans bevindt, komen de iconografie, de stijl en daaraan gekoppeld het productiecentrum, de bewaringstoestand en de eventuele behandelingen aan bod. Een bibliografie sluit elke bespreking af. Het eerste gedeelte daarentegen gaat in op een aantal algemene aspecten van de retabelproductie : historiek, functie, iconografie, productiewijze en -centra, arbeidsorganisatie, ambachtslui (beeldsnijders en schilders), materialen, technieken, onderzoek, conservering en restauratie.

Abstract

This study examines the coming together of the opulent Burgundian court, an affluent urban bourgeoisie, and an increasingly expanding community of painters, and the effects of this dynamic social configuration on the newly emerging art of oil painting. Members of the urban patriciante were influenced by the nobility's culture of display and found that painting effectively served their needs for representations of their aspirations for social advancement. In commissioning altarpieces for ecclesiastical interiors, patrons were also concerned to include their portraits and coats of arms in an effort to promote the status and prestige associated with their families.
