Dilks, Kathy. "Permission to speak? : the postmodernist voice of Carol Shields." Thesis, University of Chichester, 2008. http://eprints.chi.ac.uk/824/.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis posits that the radical transformation in Carol Shields's writing during the 1980s, moving from rather conservative realist fiction to postmodernist metafiction, was influenced by practices and theories which reject 'totalising' concepts of the self, of language and of empirical reality, instead favouring models of thought that point up the cultural constructedness of all three.

Abstract:
The creative segment of this thesis is a translation of ten short stories taken from the Canadian author Carol Shields' collection: Various Miracles. Using translation principles prescribed by Berman, Riffaterre, Lefevere and Meschonnic, and taking into account Bakhtin's principle of polyphony in the novel as described in "Discourse in the Novel", we have tried to produce a faithful translation, respectful of the profoundly alien nature of this work written in a foreign language (a characteristic that is not to be erased), and true to its polyphonic nature.
In the theoretical section of this thesis we have analyzed the importance of the multiple voices in the collection, an importance that has been stressed by the author herself, as well as by numerous critics. This multiplicity of voices is examined in the light of Bakhtin's concept of polyphony in order to determine if it can be useful to the critic and the translator. We therefore analyze the various voices and types of discourse that are to be found in the collection, in order to show their complexity as well as to permit a better understanding of some of the translation choices that were made.

Abstract:
Le projet de cette maîtrise en traduction littéraire comporte deux grands volets. Le premier volet, créatif, est une traduction intégrale vers le français d’un recueil de nouvelles de Carol Shields, intitulé Dressing Up for the Carnival (2000). Le deuxième volet, celui-ci théorique, est une analyse de cette traduction – de quatre nouvelles en particulier – portant sur l’aspect métafictionnel et autoréférentiel de l’écriture de Shields. Cette analyse s’intéresse particulièrement aux manières dont la figure de l’auteur est présentée et déconstruite. Elle montre en quoi cet aspect important de l’œuvre de Shields peut avoir une incidence sur la traduction ou la réception de la traduction, puisque l’auteure se prononce sur l’acte d’interprétation. L’analyse souligne également les défis qui découlent de la traduction d’une auteure comme Shields, qui tend à privilégier la langue et non l’intrigue comme point de départ de l’écriture, notamment par l’imposition de contraintes stylistiques sévères.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis offers a comprehensive reassessment of the fiction and criticism of Carol Shields. It aims to present her work as less "domestic" and "celebratory" and more expansive and equivocal than has sometimes been recognised, and to re-address elements which have been under-explored in previous scholarship. Close attention is paid to formal and thematic liminality, stylistic experimentation, intertextuality, subversions of historiography, and Canadian contexts, as well as to texts which have previously received very little analysis, such as Shields's poetry collections. The study is also the first to draw extensively on manuscript materials which give a valuable insight into her working methods and extend debate about her experiments with narrative perspective and genre-mixing. An introductory chapter places the study in the context of work previously undertaken on Shields~s fiction. Emphasising the complexity of her portrayals of family dynamics, her early texts are then assessed through Lacanian concepts of alterity in order to explore the central tension between alienation and connectedness developed in this apprentice work. A study of Various Miracles (1985) and Swann (1987) examines these texts~ combination of post modem narrative "play" with a realist commitment to character construction and moral issues. A study of the interplay of different language registers follows, and reveals that the deployment of dialogue in Shields's work challenges the alleged limitation of its social scope. Extant analyses of Shields's "use and abuse" of autolbiographical convention are extended by tracing her development of The Stone Diaries (1993) and Larry's Party (1997) through their multiple manuscript revisions and transformations of personal biography. Finally, a study of Shields's last three texts demonstrates that these generically disparate final works are linked thematically by an inquiry into the Canadian trope of survival.

Abstract:
L'univers des romans de Carol Shields trouve son ancrage dans la réalité nord-américaine de la fin du XXe siècle. Après en avoir analysé la teneur et son mode de représentation dans la fiction, ce travail s'appuie sur les manuscrits dont l'auteur a fait don aux Archives Nationales du Canada et sur ses dix romans publiés pour étudier le processus de création artistique à l'œuvre et les procédés utolisés pour élaborer une poetique du quotidien par laquelle elleappréhende la vie quotidienne d'hommes et de femmes ordinaires pour en révéler l'extraordinaire et la transmuer en œuvre d'art dans la fiction, opérant une déquotidianisation du quotidien qui fait surgir l'étrange(r) dans le familier, en subvertissant les genres traditionnels, notamment la biographie et l'autobiographie. Cette approche originale du quotidien s'inscrit dans le cadre des grands courants littéraires et théoriques, féminisme, réalisme, postmodernisme, vis à vis desquels Shields conserve une distance raisonnée
The world of Carol Shield's novels is rooted in the North-American reality of the end of the 20th century. After analyzing its nature and its mode of representation in fiction, this study relies on the manuscripts the author gave away to the National Archives of Canada and on the ten published novels to study the process of artistic creation at work and the devices used to build up a poetics of the quotidian through which she approaches the everyday life of ordinary men and women in order to conjure up the extraordinary that lies within the ordinary and to transmute it into a work of art in fiction, thus dequotidianizing the quotidian and highlighting the strange within the familiar, all the while subverting traditional genres such as biography and autobiography. This original approach of everydayness and the everyday finds its place in the context of the largerliterary and theoretical trends such as feminism, realism, postmodernism, towards which Shields remains safely distant

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the concepts of “voice” and “influence” through the case studies of two famous English-speaking Canadian women writers, Margaret Atwood and Carol Shields. The “voice” is multiple, ambiguous and influenced, but it is also apparently unique. How, therefore, is it constructed and where does it come from? I examine, work with and adapt Harold Bloom’s paradigmatic study of influence to a feminist context, exploring the idea that a literary voice can be developed and influenced by Atwood and Shields. I discuss how these writers searched for an appropriate literary role model, exemplified by nineteenth-century English-Canadian writer Susanna Moodie, at the moment when Canadian nationalism and feminism coincided. Atwood and Shields are now canonical writers themselves and important in both the nationalist and women’s tradition, but have they gone on to influence new Canadian women writers? I test the pleasures and the anxieties of Shields’ influence with regard to her creative writing students and her own daughter, Anne Giardini, who has published her first novel. I compare Shields with Atwood, who has achieved a high level of fame, and examine what kind of influence each exerts. I discuss whether literary influence is politically different for women than men and whether there is any jealousy or power struggles between the sexes. Rivalry and competition between writers are not purely caused by the aesthetic issues that Bloom discusses, therefore I contextualise his concept of influence using literary celebrity studies to consider the economic basis of cultural production. This is in order to show that tensions are determined by market conditions, just as much as the new poet’s desire to overthrow a literary precursor. Finally, I examine fan letters to Atwood and Shields as another important source of literary influence. I discuss how fans are constructed through a commercial relationship and how they can also provide an amateur literary voice. Atwood and Shields have helped to create a network of writers across the globe. I explore whether both authors can be role models who will inspire the next literary generation.

Full text
Abstract:
Molten salt reactor (MSR) system, a candidate of the Generation IV reactors, has inherent safety, on-line refueling and good neutron economy as typical advantages. An optimized MSR is developed by changing the size of fuel channel and the graphite-to-molten salt volume radio, based on the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE), which was originally developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). In this paper, shielding calculations for the optimized MSR are presented. The goal of this study is to determine the necessary shielding to decrease the neutron and gamma dose rate to the acceptable level according to national regulations. The operating temperature of the optimized MSR is designed in the range of 500 °C–700 °C, heat removal is also considered in the shielding design. The shielding calculations are carried out by using Monte Carlo method. The shielding system of the optimized MSR consists of 7 zones: the core, the core can, the reactor vessel, the thermal shield, the reactor cell containment, the shield tank and the concrete wall. The combinations of shielding materials in the thermal shield were evaluated. The thermal shield filled with carbon steel balls and circulating water gets an excellent shielding performance and heat removing effects. The neutron spectra and dose distributions, as well as the energy deposition over different shields have been analyzed. The total neutron dose rate outside the thermal shield is attenuated by a factor of about 104, and the gamma dose rate by a factor of about 103. These results show that the shielding design could low dose rate to an acceptable level outside the shielding and far below dose limit required.

Full text
Abstract:
Packaging Technology, Inc., a subsidiary of the French nuclear consortium Areva, has been tasked with manufacturing six RH-72B (72B) casks for the Department of Energy’s Carlsbad Operations Office. The 72B transportation cask will be used to transport remote-handled (RH) transuranic wastes to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) located in New Mexico. Certification of each 72B cask includes a gamma scan of the cask lead shielded wall to verify that no significant voids form within the lead subsequent to the lead pour. Voids in the lead would be revealed as spikes in the gamma scan measurements. The radioactive isotope Iridium-192 was used as the source for the gamma scan measurements. To determine the maximum and minimum expected values for the cask gamma scan, a test fixture was required to be developed with flat plate shields that matched the maximum and minimum thicknesses of the steel-lead-steel cask wall. Design of the test fixture was a non-trivial exercise due to the influence of backscatter radiation, which if unshielded resulted in unreasonably high test fixture radiation doses. To properly shield the backscatter radiation, a collimator is required around the source. The measured dose rates using the test fixture is highly sensitive to the diameter of the collimator penetration, as a collimator penetration diameter that is too narrow results in artificially low dose rate measurements when compared to the cask measurements. To assist in the design of the collimator, the Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) gamma transport code was employed. Using MCNP computer simulations, it was determined that a collimator diameter of 6 inches was sufficient to properly mimic the cask configuration.

Neutron radiography uses the unique interaction probabilities of neutrons to create images of materials. This imaging technique is non-destructive. MCNP Monte Carlo Code has been used to design an optimized neutron radiography system that utilizes 241Am-Be neutron source. Many different arrangements have been simulated to obtain a neutron flux with higher amplitude and more uniform distribution in the collimator outlet, next to image plane. In the final arrangement the specifications of neutron filter, Gamma-ray shield and beam collimator has been determined. Simulations has been Carried out for a 5Ci 241Am-Be neutron source. In this case 43.8 n/cm2s thermal neutron flux has been achieved at a distance of 35cm from neutron source.

Full text
Abstract:
The cavity streaming is the neutron beam from the reactor core through the tunnel, which is between the external surface of the pressure vessel and the shield inner surface. Reactor cavity streaming calculation is a typical deep penetration problem with complex geometry. The accurate calculation of neutron radiation streaming is a key problem to the reactor shielding calculation, for which the Monte Carlo method and the discrete ordinate method are two popular methods. The speed of discrete ordinate method calculation is fast, but it is hard to describe the complex pile of cavity; the Monte Carlo method can accurately describe the complex geometry, it has a high calculation precision, but with a low direct simulation efficiency. Based on a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant, this paper presents a detailed model realized by Monte Carlo code, with continuous energy points cross section libraries. The neutron flux density distribution of PWR reactor cavity streaming can directly be calculated by a three-dimensional simulation. For such an actual deep penetration problem, a variety of variance reduction techniques are studied, an effective variance reduction technique is used to obtain results with small statistic errors for a Monte Carlo simulation, which effectively solves the problem of large-scale deep penetrating convergence difficulty, the cavity radiation streaming calculation and analysis are completed. The result shows that the Monte Carlo method can be used as a powerful tool to solve the problem of cavity streaming leakage.

Full text
Abstract:
Time-resolved laser-induced incandescence (TiRe-LII) is an emerging diagnostic for characterizing primary-particle size distributions within soot-laden aerosols. This measurement requires an accurate model of heat conduction between the laser-energized soot and the surrounding gas, which is complicated by fractal-like structure of soot aggregates since primary particles on the aggregate exterior shield the interior from approaching gas molecules. Previous efforts to characterize aggregate shielding using Direct-Simulation-Monte-Carlo (DSMC) analysis assume a monatomic gas and a Maxwell kernel, which is known to be a poor representation of true gas/surface scattering physics. This paper investigates how selective thermal accommodation into the translational and rotational modes of the gas molecule influences the aggregate shielding effect using the Cercignani-Lampis-Lord (CLL) kernel and thermal accommodation coefficients derived from molecular dynamics simulations.

Abstract:
This paper describes the design and calibration of a Wide Range Segmented Gamma ray Scanning (WR-SGS) assay instrument for the measurement of both Low and Intermediate Level Waste (LLW and ILW) in 200 litre drums. The instrument employs a single shielded and collimated high purity germanium (HPGe) detector to quantify the radionuclide content of the waste. One of the novel features of the instrument is the use of an automated variable aperture collimator, which allows the vertical segment height to be adjusted, and allows the scanning of intermediate level waste drums, with significant surface dose rates. Conventional SGS measurements may be performed where the drum is rotated and measured in vertical segments. Alternatively, faster measurement can be made using continuous helical scanning of the drum as it rotates. A gamma ray emitting transmission source is used to correct for waste density. In place of a conventional shutter, the shielded transmission source is moved to a shielded storage position to eliminate background radiation arising from the transmission source. Using this approach, higher activity transmission sources may be used in order to achieve adequate density corrections for higher density drums. These new features makes the WR-SGS suitable for the measurement of drums containing exempt level waste to intermediate level waste, as well as drums with a wide range of density. Results will be presented from the calibration of the instrument using horizontally displaced line sources to simulate distributed sources and the results will be compared with benchmarked MCNP Monte Carlo calculations.
