Full textAbstract:
This article aims at investigating and explaining the application of the technique of flashback in selected Northern Sotho literary texts. Five kinds of flashback are distinguished, namely external retrospection, internal retrospection, mixed retrospection, flashback to complicate events and flashback of similar events. These kinds of flashback have certain and specific functions, such as reminding readers of past events, foregrounding themes of the text, and so on. This technique is evident in a text when ordinary, everyday events turn out to be the key to surprising secrets that are revealed later. Though flashback seems to be similar to foreshadowing (prolepsis) in that both techniques contain features of repetition and the narration of a specific experience, the techniques, however, differ in that flashback focuses on the elements of secrecy, suspense and surprise, and foreshadowing does not. This article also reveals that a relationship between flashback and the structure of detective stories can be indicated.

Full textAbstract:
Suetonius’ Lives of the Caesars contain at least twenty discrete anecdotes about childhood (pueritia) and youth (iuuenta or adulescentia) spread across the Lives. Some characterize the Caesars by looking forwards (foreshadowing) and others do so by looking backwards (flashbacks). In both foreshadowing and flashback, the childhood anecdote shows continuity with the adult and creates the impression of lifelong consistency of character. The foreshadowing technique is also something other ancient biographers do; the flashback is something that appears to be unique to Suetonius. In this note I briefly consider the stories from childhood and youth that foreshadow character traits and themes of the rest of the Life, and then the flashbacks from the adulthood section of the Life that refer to childhood and youth in order to demonstrate vices of the grown adult. I show that the use of foreshadowing and flashbacks contributes to the appearance of a fully formed character in the child that will be consistent into adulthood, as well as facilitating the rubric system of arranging material by type rather than by time.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is premised on the connection between history and drama in order to profile the historical characters or heroes and explicate the socio-political predicament in their society. Existing studies on historical plays have focused on the celebration and chronicling of the heroic deeds of the historical characters, sometimes ignoring the artistic techniques the playwright employed. This study, therefore, examines psyche, nightmare and religion as the stylistic techniques for establishing the sources of disintegration in an imperial environment. This is with a view to investigating the link between the conflicts of the protagonist and the predicaments of his society. The study is based on psychoanalysis that allows for the investigation of characters’ unconscious motives and collective archetypes. The text, Attahiru is subjected to critical textual analysis in both content and form to analyse the paradigmatic use of history, dream and religion to account for the colonial conquest of an African society. Various patterns of unconscious archetypes such as psyche, nightmare, daydream and religion were discovered to serve as techniques of foreshadowing and flashback to the physical and psychological conflicts in the play. They serve as signifiers of the protagonist’s traumas. These unconscious archetypes, therefore, have become the catalysts for disintegration and veritable strategy in Ahmed Yerima’s account of imperial history.

Full textAbstract:
The study presented in this article explores the processes through which influence takes shape in eclectic online forums with few vanity metrics. Using a dataset of 7.5 million posts in the large Swedish online discussion forum Flashback, it explores who becomes influential, their strategies for appealing to the community, and others’ support of them. While it has been known that Flashback hosts far-right users and content, the current study shows that these sentiments are not fringe or obscure, but instead seemingly widely supported and influential in the forum. It illustrates that the influential users—those who are supported and acknowledged by others as important—exclusively and continuously expressed far-right ideas and displayed an embeddedness within the far-right, as well as in the forum’s culture. The study finds that despite few visible markers, many users learned to recognize influential users and their far-right content as worthy of support. In the absence of built-in functions, some users engaged in manual “liking” and “sharing” of influential users’ content via their replies, acknowledging it as a way to legitimize them. At the same time, the analysis showcased how a lack of vanity metrics countered potential echo chamber effects in the forum as disliked users—advocating progressive gender and immigration ideas—were unintentionally amplified by those who attempted to silence them. The article also discusses the role of Flashback as a platform in the proliferation of hate.

Full textAbstract:
Although the value of factor weight in an evaluation work is deterministic, the solving process is random, so connection between weight solution with digital characteristics or distribution functions of specific random variables or random process could be build. Using stochastic simulation method to get a lot of random solutions to the problem, expectation of the random solutions can be used as a estimation solution. On basis of idea of Monte Carlo simulation, this paper analyzed the probability process of calculating factor weight, and provided the procedures of estimating factor weight by means of Monte Carlo simulation. Through discussion and example in this paper, feasibility and validity of this method were proved, which may make foreshadowing for follow-up research work.

Full textAbstract:
Advances in gene therapy have been foreshadowing its potential for the treatment of a vast range of diseases involving genetic malfunctioning. However, its therapeutic efficiency and successful outcome are highly dependent on the development of the ideal gene delivery system. On that matter, silica-based vectors have diverted some attention from viral and other types of non-viral vectors due to their increased safety, easily modifiable structure and surface, high stability, and cost-effectiveness. The versatility of silane chemistry and the combination of silica with other materials, such as polymers, lipids, or inorganic particles, has resulted in the development of carriers with great loading capacities, ability to effectively protect and bind genetic material, targeted delivery, and stimuli-responsive release of cargos. Promising results have been obtained both in vitro and in vivo using these nanosystems as multifunctional platforms in different potential therapeutic areas, such as cancer or brain therapies, sometimes combined with imaging functions. Herein, the current advances in silica-based systems designed for gene therapy are reviewed, including their main properties, fabrication methods, surface modifications, and potential therapeutic applications.

Abstract The co-production of a sentence is a phenomenon that is widely observed in talk-in-interaction across languages. However, with a few notable exceptions, there is still much room for the investigation of how the co-production of sentences is put to the service of specific actions and activities in different language communities. This paper, using 10 hours of video-recorded data, examines the co-production of assessments (“collaborative assessments”) in Mandarin conversation. It is found that speakers can use syntactic, prosodic, and bodily-visual devices to realize assessment collaboration, and that the functions of collaborative assessment include (1) helping provide a candidate assessment term and facilitating the assessment; (2) articulating/specifying ‘vague’ assessments; (3) helping complete the foreshadowing of a negative assessment term; and (4) co-participation in the assessment activity. This paper also discusses the design features of co-completion and subsequent responses on the basis of the continuum of speakers’ epistemic authority and agency in collaborative assessment sequences and concludes with some implications of this study for grammar as practice.

Full textAbstract:
None of these three passages from the Iliad would be classified as anything other than an extended simile, but the differences between them in subject matter and what is compared make clear how difficult it is to make any simple summary of the nature and functions of the extended simile in Homer that would gain general assent. As the immense quantity of scholarship on these similes would indicate, it is impossible either to argue convincingly that they can have only one or two main functions in the narrative, or categorically to prove or deny that a particular simile has a certain effect or significance for the narrative. To give one brief example, Stephen Nimis usefully distinguishes six major trends in interpretation among earlier scholars' views on the function of similes in Homer: (1) the presentation of the generic alongside the individual, (2) creation of atmosphere, (3) imagistic continuity, (4) characterization and foreshadowing, (5) incorporating the past into the present, and (6) allusion to antecedent literary traditions. Not all of the three similes quoted above perform all of these functions at once, but they certainly perform more than one of them. The only definition that would probably be generally accepted is the rather dry and unhelpful one that a simile functions by briefly interrupting the narrative in order to compare one element in the narrative with another, in order to illuminate something about the original element in the narrative. Moreover, an extended simile begins from an original main point of comparison, but it compares the likeness of two things that are actually not alike in many other respects.

Full textAbstract:
The emerging wearable medical devices open up new opportunities for the provision of health services and promise to accelerate the development of novel telemedical services. The main objective of this study was to investigate the desirable features and applications of telemedical services for the Polish older adults delivered by wearable medical devices. The questionnaire study was conducted among 146 adult volunteers in two cohorts (C.1: <65 years vs. C.2: ≥65 years). The analysis was based on qualitative research and descriptive statistics. Comparisons were performed by Pearson’s chi-squared test. The questionnaire, which was divided into three parts (1-socio-demographic data, needs, and behaviors; 2-health status; 3-telemedicine service awareness and device concept study), consisted of 37 open, semi-open, or closed questions. Two cohorts were analyzed (C.1: n = 77; mean age = 32 vs. C.2: n = 69; mean age = 74). The performed survey showed that the majority of respondents were unaware of the telemedical services (56.8%). A total of 62.3% of C.1 and 34.8% of C.2 declared their understanding of telemedical services. The 10.3% of correct explanations regarding telemedical service were found among all study participants. The most desirable feature was the detection of life-threatening and health-threatening situations (65.2% vs. 66.2%). The findings suggest a lack of awareness of telemedical services and the opportunities offered by wearable telemedical devices.

Full textAbstract:
Foreshadowing and flashback are two techniques that look alike because they share certain features, namely repetition and experience. These two techniques nevertheless differ in many ways and this research study thus intends differentiating between the two. Existing descriptions of the two techniques provided by critics such as Irwin and Morson do not clearly indicate the differences between them. Terminology pertaining to foreshadowing and flashback is confusingly similar. This makes the identification of these techniques in literary texts difficult, and indeed no theorist explains clearly how to go about such an identification procedure. In order to achieve the aim of this research study, the descriptive, interpretive and comparative methods are used. In addition, an adapted narratological model is employed. In this model, a text is seen as having three levels, namely content, plot and style. In the analysis of content, the topic is emphasised, while theme and atmosphere are emphasised in plot and style analysis respectively. The concept 'technique' has been explained by placing emphasis on its functions and types. With regard to types, the emphasis is on structural techniques with the focus on the second level of a text, i.e the plot, because the two techniques under study, namely foreshadowing and flashback are part of the plot. Foreshadowing is described as a technique whereby an author uses details to suggest the ultimate outcome of the plot or to meaningfully precede the appearance of other details in a literary work. The functions and types of this technique are explained. Forms of this technique include knucklebones, dreams, language, character's name, shadow, conscience, beliefs, etc. Flashback is defined as the author's interruption of the chronological sequence of events in a work of literature. The importance of this technique is also emphasised. The different types of flashback are (a) external retrospection, (b) internal retrospection, and (c) mixed retrospection. A problem with regard to the types of this technique is the fact that not all types have been identified in existing research. This study has thus added two more types of flashback, namely (a) events that have been complicated and (b) events made similar to one another. There are two ways of complicating events, namely (a) changing the chronological order of events and (b) inserting events. Differences between the above-mentioned techniques that have not received attention from theorists are identified as follows in this study: - In the case of foreshadowing, an unusual event appears, while in flashback, a known event is encountered, i.e. a common, everyday event. With foreshadowing, the event itself seems to be amazing.
- In the case of flashback, however, the event may not seem amazing in itself at first, but only causes suprise later when the reader realises that his notion of what has happened and what he thinks he has understood so far is undermined.
- Foreshadowing whets the reader's interest, while this does not happen in the case of flashback. Foreshadowing emphasises coming events. Flashback on the other hand reveals the origin of the problem.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter analyses the circular plan of Jerusalem in Peter of Poitiers' Compendium historiae in genealogia Christi, a synopsis of history widely disseminated and frequently adapted. The plan of Jerusalem reveals how Peter of Poitiers modified and fused different sources, including Peter Comestor's Historia scholastica, to create a visually persuasive image of perfect formal and social order, with six gates foreshadowing the twelve gates of the Heavenly Jerusalem. The visual alignment of the plan of Jerusalem and other diagrams in the Compendium prompts the beholder to reflect on analogies of structures and events, and thus on the order and meaning of history. This argument extends to the late fifteenth-century diagram of the heavenly Jerusalem in Werner Rolewinck's Fasciculus temporum, which functions at the same time as a visualization of the Creed and as an allegorical image of the church, predetermined and eternal.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the symbolic valences of the Yiddish language in all three ecologies. As idioms of new life, of reordering, the very sounding of English or Hebrew speech on tape establishes a teleological direction in the narrative, foreshadowing different types of language conversion that the witness will undergo at some point in the story. Since oral and video media highlight accents and speech patterns, a tonal Yiddish undercurrent may have a significant impact on testimonial meaning, creating the impression that there is a source language, an alternate voice that haunts the one narrating. If Yiddish embodies a meaning-system that was lost, then quoting, recalling, or ignoring this tongue is a way for witnesses to enact the results of cultural transformation. The chapter then tackles the question of how Yiddish functions as a language of testimony at the end of the twentieth century and beginning of the twenty-first. Here, witnesses make the language into both an artifact of memory and a tool of expression. These Yiddish oral recordings constitute a new chapter in the history of Yiddish oral art.

Full textAbstract:
In this work the implementation and validation of a finite-rate-chemistry (FRC) combustion model for ANSYS® CFX® 15.0 is presented. For the solution of the stiff system of species transport equations a splitting scheme is used where transport processes and chemical reactions are solved numerically in separate steps. In this splitting scheme the software Cantera is used for the integration of the chemistry sub-step. It is coupled via user-defined-functions (“USER-Fortran”) to ANSYS® CFX® 15.0. To provide validation data for this model under gas turbine relevant conditions, a down sized version of an industrial burner is investigated experimentally at different operating conditions and with different fuels. The burner is operated in a high-pressure combustion test rig with optical access at technically relevant pressures. Data for emissions of nitric oxide and carbon monoxide are obtained along with OH* chemiluminescence images of the flame. Additionally, investigations are made on the risk of flashback in this burner. The operating points are simulated using the FRC model developed in this work. It is demonstrated that this model approach can predict carbon monoxide and nitric oxide emissions very well, despite the simplistic treatment of turbulence-chemistry interaction. Moreover, it is shown that this model approach can also predict the onset of flashback: the change in flame shape, which is an indicator for flashback, can be well reproduced with this model.

Full textAbstract:
A modern lean burn combustor for propulsion application using a multi-swirler fuel injector system is studied under partially premixed combustion conditions. Combustion induced vortex breakdown (CIVB) plays an important role in establishing the near-field aerodynamic characteristics of lean burn fuel injectors, influencing fuel/air mixing and flame stability. The precise nature of the vortex breakdown can take on several forms mainly consisting of a precessing vortex core (PVC) and the appearance of multiple helical vortices formed in the swirl stream shear layer. In the present study a numerical investigation is carried out with an unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (URANS) solver to capture the evolution of the PVC in the vicinity of the air blast atomizer of the injector and the helical vortex patterns inside the combustor. PVC suppression is captured causing upstream flame propagation and a sudden rise in the temperature near the injector end. The existence of hot-spots is reported near the injector end which can increase NOx production and also cause possible damage to the injector assembly itself. The unsteady dynamics of the PVC, which significantly influences fuel efficiency and emissions, are analyzed for a relatively long period of real time. The variation of velocity along the axis of the combustor confirming upstream flame propagation in to the injector is plotted. Mass weighted average temperatures across different planes in the combustor are monitored as target functions. The influence of different time-step sizes on the prediction of the temperature across these different planes is also presented. For this lean burn combustor using a complex multi-swirler fuel injector system, the results demonstrate the formation of a startup PVC in the vicinity of the air blast atomizer of the injector, its unstable mode of excitation, sustainment and suppression due to CIVB over a period of time and its strong influence on injector near-field aero-thermodynamics.

"Enlarging the Fuel Flexibility Boundaries: Theoretical and Experimental Application to a New Heavy-Duty Gas Turbine (MS5002E)." In ASME Turbo Expo 2008: Power for Land, Sea, and Air. ASMEDC, 2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/gt2008-50773.
Full textAbstract:
GE Oil&Gas has recently launched a new heavy-duty gas turbine, the MS5002E, which underwent an extensive theoretical and experimental study on fuel flexibility. Today, fuel flexibility is one of the most challenging requirements in the Oil&Gas market. The fuel flexible operation demands a wide variety of assessments, ranging from rig tests of the combustor to theoretical consolidation of the results. The present paper describes the used methodology to increase the capabilities of burning diverse gaseous fuels, at fixed geometry. It analyzes all factors affecting the operation of the combustor with the goal to identify and extend the boundaries. Such boundaries are a result of multiple variables, like resistance to flashback and autoignition, emissions, pressure pulsations and capability of igniting. Flashback is when the reaction velocity overtakes the flow velocity and the flame moves back to the fuel injection points, threatening the integrity of the hardware. The resistance of the MS5002E to flashback and flame holding was evaluated by performing extensive experiments on a single fuel nozzle. Flame holding test results were then used to develop a transfer function for the prediction of the flame holding behavior of different mixtures. Another variable of interest is the resistance to autoignition: MS5002E took advantage of previously defined transfer functions from GE Energy that estimate the temperature above which a given mixture is likely to autoignite, at fixed pressure. Since the MS5002E is a DLN machine, it was also necessary to exclude the possibility of lean-blow-out in the whole operating range: dedicated tests on a single-can basis were used for this scope. Emissions and pressure pulsations were extensively measured on a single-can basis, since these parameters are fundamental for a lean premixed combustor. For particular mixtures, like those with high content of inert gases, the capability of igniting repeatably and reliably is an additional requirement that needs experimental validation. The combination of all the aforementioned variables determines the composition limit of the fuel mixture that the machine can tolerate. As a result of all the assessment, it was possible to achieve an increase in the maximum allowable concentrations for the following constituents: propane (up to 20%), nitrogen (up to 20% with no modifications to the control algorithms; up to 25% with minor modifications to the control algorithms) and hydrogen (up to 5%). Future tests will deliver increased capabilities also for ethane and butane.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Porous radiant burners are widely used in industry to provide a uniform source of heat flux with reduced emissions. Such burners have provided high rates of heat transfer by radiation while preventing flame flashback. The work to be presented relates to the modeling of the combustion process in a double-layered flat porous burner. The burner employs a low porosity layer on the upstream side and high porosity layer on the downstream side of the homogenous fuel-air mixture flow. The nonequilibrium model is adopted. The energy equations for the gas and solid media are solved numerically with a one step reaction (Arrhenius type) energy release rate for the gas-phase. The solid phase is considered to be non-reactive. The thermophysical properties of the gas and solid phases are assumed to be functions of temperature. The effects of thermal conductivity and thickness of the layers on the flame stabilization within the porous medium and radiant energy output are investigated and discussed. The high thermal conductivity layer diffuses heat and thus has significant effects on the flame location and flame temperature. However, the high thermal conductivity of the layer also contributes to a decrease in the radiant energy. It was found that generally the flame stabilizes at the interface between the two layers. When the thermal conductivity of the upstream low porosity layer was too low (e.g. 0.1 W/m.K), the flame was stabilized within the low porosity layer.
