Abstract:
No século XXI, produções literárias africanas têm se configurado comumente como fontes significativas para auxiliar a compreensão de causas e consequências de eventos históricos<strong>. </strong>Dentre elas, destaca-se o romance <em>Half of a Yellow Sun</em> (2006a)<em>, </em>de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Nessa obra, Adichie aborda problemáticas vividas por seus personagens durante o período da Guerra de Biafra, na Nigéria. Este artigo objetiva ilustrar alguns dos entrelaçamentos literários arquitetados por Adichie que suscitam questões de raça, feminismo e nacionalismo. Assim, as discussões levantadas aqui são amparadas nos Estudos Pós-coloniais a partir de pressupostos de Thomas Bonnici (2000), dentre outros. Como uma de suas conclusões, o artigo sublinha a importância do caráter interventivo da escrita pós-colonial, ao propiciar, por exemplo, reflexões acerca de eventos negativos do passado, para que não se reprisem.

Abstract:
Questioning is an instructional process that is not only central to verbal interaction in the classroom but also essential to negotiation of meaning in discourse. Existing studies dealing with functions of questions have only identified few functions which questions perform in discourse probably because the scholars who worked on them have not explored varied situations and contexts which necessitate asking questions whose functions are totally different from the ones already identified in the literature. Hence, the current research investigates the pragmatic functions of questions in Chimamanda Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun. The major advantage of using this source of data is that, it, unlike previous studies which investigate data from premeditated sources, this source provides rich and varied naturally-occurring contexts for asking different questions which perform different functions. The study is driven by insight from the concept of pragmatic competence. On the whole, the research identified nine novel pragmatic functions of questions which have not been documented in the literature. These include questions to indicate annoyance, questions to foster interpersonal relationship, questions to persuade somebody to do something, questions for showing disapproval and so on. These findings implicate that in a bid to build on a learner’s competence in a particular language, such a learner should be introduced to the importance of contexts in determining the function which a particular question is meant to perform in any communicative encounter.

Abstract:
This study deals with the conflict of Nigerian Biafran War 6 July, 1960-15 January, 1967 as represented in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel Half of a Yellow Sun (2006). The study attempts to address the following four questions: first, what are the causes-effects of Biafran/Civil war? Second, why Nigerians have been suffering during the wartime? Third, how does the representation of Nigerian history enable understanding of the post-colonial issues? And final, what is the role of conflict in Nigerian history? In order to understand this conflict, the study addresses the detailed analysis of war conflict, ethnic conflict, class conflict, military conflict and eco-political conflict. The post-colonial approach becomes one of the ways of engaging the theoretical understanding of the novel Half of a Yellow Sun. In sum up, the novel is located with the issues of marginality, history and conflict, which interrogates through post-colonial theoretical formations and the six-phase structure of war novels.

No. of bitstreams: 1 341091.pdf: 957716 bytes, checksum: 349229de809414d594937e1746cc08f1 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016<br>O romance Half of a Yellow Sun, de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, apresenta foco narrativo onisciente, em terceira pessoa, priorizando o ponto de vista de três personagens: Richard um inglês que não se identifica com a Inglaterra e se muda para a Nigéria, interessando-se pela cultura e língua igbo; Ugwu igbo, nascido e criado em uma zona rural na Nigéria, que, ao mudar-se para a cidade, para trabalhar como criado de um professor universitário, termina sua alfabetização em língua inglesa, e Olanna igbo, formada na Inglaterra, que trabalha na Nigéria como professora universitária. Em Half of a Yellow Sun, o leitor é constantemente exposto a diferentes registros da língua inglesa, como o inglês não padrão e o inglês crioulo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar, à luz dos Estudos da Tradução em diálogo e dos Estudos Pós-Coloniais, duas traduções em língua portuguesa de trechos do romance em que há a ocorrência desses registros. Para tal empreendimento, foram selecionadas duas traduções: uma brasileira, de Beth Vieira, e outra portuguesa, de Tânia Ganho. Primeiramente, foi feita uma análise do texto fonte, tendo em vista (i) a percepção intercultural das/dos três personagens mencionadas, no que se refere à negociação local entre as línguas inglesa e igbo, e (ii) a forma como Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie representa este contexto intercultural a partir das três perspectivas. Em seguida, para desenvolver o estudo comparativo entre as traduções selecionadas e texto fonte, foram discutidas as relações de aproximação e afastamento entre o/a escritor(a) pós-colonial e o/a tradutor(a), com foco na dimensão política de ambas as escritas. Por fim, para contrapor o discurso logocêntrico, que toma as traduções por textos inferiores, esta pesquisa associa as relações de poder entre texto original e texto traduzido com as relações de poder entre as culturas envolvidas, denunciando, assim, o discurso opressor e enaltecendo as formas de resistência de cada uma dessas escritas. A intersecção entre os Estudos da Tradução e os Estudos Pós-Coloniais é embasada nas teorias de Spivak, Rajagopalan, Gyasi, Esteves, Tymoczko e Niranjana, que equiparam a literatura pós-colonial à tradução e/ou apresentam as relações de poder que envolvem o ofício do/a tradutor(a). Autores como Venuti e Santiago embasam as críticas referentes aos Estudos da Tradução e aos Estudos Pós-Coloniais, respectivamente.<br><br>Abstract : The novel Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is narrated in the third person omniscient point of view and prioritizes the perspective of three characters. Richard is English yet doesn t identify with his country nor with the English people, and moves to Nigeria. He is interested in the Igbo culture and even learns the language. Ugwu is Igbo, born and raised in the countryside of Nigeria. He moves to the city to work as a houseboy in a professor s house, where he becomes literate in English. Olanna is also Igbo and, like her partner, works as a professor. She graduated in England. In Half of a Yellow Sun, the reader is constantly exposed to the English language in different registers, such as non-standard and pidgin English. In light of Translation Studies dialoguing with Post-Colonial Studies, this paper compares two translations to Portuguese of some extracts from the novel in which those kinds of registers occur. In order to do that, two official translations were selected, one from Brazil translated by Beth Vieira, and the other from Portugal translated by Tânia Ganho. First, the source text was analyzed based on (i) the three characters previously mentioned, focusing on their perception of this interculturality and (ii) how Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie represents this context through them. To perform a comparative study among the selected translations and the source text, the differences and similarities among the work of a post-colonial writer and that of a translator were presented focusing on the political dimension of both written activities. Finally, to oppose the logocentric discourse, which regards translations as inferior texts, this paper associates the power relations among the original text and the translated one to the power relations among the cultures involved, denouncing the oppressor s discourse and the acts of resistance in each of these texts. The intersection between Translation Studies and Post-Colonial Studies is based on the theories of Spivak, Rajagopalan, Gyasi, Esteves, Tymoczko and Niranjana, which compare post-colonial literature to the translation and/or present the power relations involving the translator s trade. I also use Lawrence Venuti from Translation Studies and Silviano Santiago from Post-Colonial Studies as a basis for my analysis.

O enredo, estruturado em quatro partes interdependentes, possibilita, pelo menos, dois eixos de observação crítica: a) a percepção da formação das identidades dos sujeitos pós-modernos/pós-coloniais nesse cenário africano e b) a fragmentação da noção de espaço-tempo desses indivíduos. As figuras ficcionais do romance são sujeitos posicionados numa época e local de mudanças, confrontando o deslocamento das antigas tradições culturais africanas e a presença cada vez maior de valores estrangeiros, ocidentais. Portanto, o objetivo do nosso trabalho é o de analisar a construção dos cronotopos a partir de uma perspectiva com base nas personagens Ugwu, Olanna e Richard, bem como em seus respectivos núcleos de participação. Em um ambiente pós-colonial de produção, a obra possibilita ao leitor a oportunidade de conhecer literariamente a estória de um dos maiores traumas do continente africano presenciado por nigerianos e biafrenses e de sentir o sopro do vento da globalização pelas páginas do texto.<br>Half of a Yellow Sun, a novel authored by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, features a narrative in which the experience of chronotopoi assists in understanding the context of the Biafran War (1967-1970). The plot, divided into four interdependent parts, enables at least two axes of critical observation: a) the perception of the formation of postmodern/post-colonial subjects in an African scenery and b) the fragmentation of the concept of space-time in those individual’s experience. Fictional figures in the novel are positioned in an epoch and place of change and transition, confronting the displacement of ancient African cultural traditions and the increasing presence of foreign, Western values. Therefore, the aim of our work is to analyze the construction of chronotopoi from a perspective based on characters such as Ugwu, Olanna, and Richard, as well as their respective nuclei of participation. In a post-colonial context of production, this novel allows the reader the opportunity to know the literary story of one of the major traumas in the African context witnessed by Nigerians and Biafrans and to feel the breath of the wind of globalization through the pages of the text.

Abstract:
This thesis brings to the fore two non-focalising characters, Misra of Maps by Nuruddin Farah and Kainene of Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. These transgressive characters are placed at the centre of their respective narratives. The aim is to demonstrate the way they transgress conventional political, social, national and gendered boundaries. This transgression creates the space for an alternative citizenship to emerge. The type of citizenship that is multi-faceted and embraces the complexity and nuances of contested borders. These transgressions are read as legacy especially because neither Misra nor Kainene bring to fruition the potentialities and possibilities of their subversive natures. However, both novels present alternatives that reach beyond the closing of the narratives. Ultimately, this thesis questions the purpose of writing transgressive woman characters out of the official narrative.

Abstract:
This study analyses two non-western novels used in the subject of Swedish in upper secondary school: Fatou Diomes The Belly of the Atlantic and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichies Half a Yellow Sun. Looking at how the books female main character relate to Stuart Halls theory of cultural identity, I come to the conclusion that they somewhat differently relate to an essential ”authentic” self. Salie talks explicit about a generic African soul that she possesses. Olanna never talks about anything ”authentic”, but her narrative and contrary subject positions can be read as a way of demasking her European ”white” self in favour of a truer Igbo self. I also come to the conclusion that both novels use themes of alienation related to gender structures and positioned westernness and that this kind of reading could contribute to interesting classroom discussions about a dynamic interpretation on culture and identity.

Abstract:
Although the yellow press has been in existence in Great Britain and the USA since the start of the 19th century, it has only recently been introduced in the South African media environment. The mainstream press like Rapport and Beeld have showed certain characteristics of the yellow press for a while now, but rather present a combination of both trivial and more serious news to the reader. The arrival of the yellow media which brought along a more sensational approach to news became also visible in more serious papers. This phenomenon is called "tabloidisation". The yellow press can be distinguished from serious papers on the basis of its nature and presentation. These characteristics can be divided into three categories, namely news themes, language and style, and presentation. The yellow press can be recognised by the amount of news items that focus on scandals and gossip involving celebrities, sex and crime. These media communicate in a informal and an easy understandable way with the readers,. These publications often make use of crude language and the stories are mostly people-driven. The yellow press publication can be seen as an entertainment package, because the aim is to entertain the reader. A vivid news package is presented to the reader by using bold headlines, large photos, graphics, colour and a captivating front page. This study investigates the characteristics of the yellow press. It investigates whether and how these characteristics are presented under the categories news themes, language, style and presentation of three local daily tabloids, namely the Kaapse Son, Daily Voice and the Daily Sun.<br>Thesis (M.A. (Communication Studies))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2009.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>外國語文學系<br>106<br>In both reality and the fiction, Half of a Yellow Sun, since 1966, Nigeria has experienced a number of political earthquakes which eventually result in the independence of Biafra and the sanguinary Nigeria-Biafra War in 1967. Most Biafrans, the civilians in particular, are forced to confront the disappearance and demise of their families and friends, the loss of their properties and lives, the paucity of food and water, and so forth. The thesis will focus on how Olanna, the female Christian protagonist, eventually learns to coexist with her psychological trauma and regain her political voice. In the first chapter, I will analyze Olanna’s physical and psychological response to the pogrom she witnesses in Kano in 1966. I will evidence that, despite her recovery from her state of freeze, or her somatic dissociation, Olanna continues suffering from her ongoing traumatic memories because she still fails to internalize them. After the Nigerian Civil War begins, Olanna is even deprived of her political voice and cannot but accept the nonchalance of the whole world, the Nigerian government, and Biafran politicians and soldiers. In the second chapter, I will argue that, after the end of the war in 1970, Olanna’s insistence on searching for her missing sister, Kainene, and her turning to the traditional Igbo belief in reincarnation prompt her to voice for herself and work through her traumatic memories. In addition, to undergo the process of reincarnation, Olanna should pass on her memories of Kainene to those whom she cares about. I will thus discuss that, with Olanna’s storytelling, Adichie is perchance urging all her (Nigerian) readers to remember the lessons taught by history lest they launch another war as internecine as the Nigeria-Biafra War.

Abstract:
Though the Nigerian-Biafran War has been the subject of numerous literary and other artistic representations in the four decades since its conclusion, Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s 2006 novel Half of a Yellow Sun has recently received tremendous international attention for its treatment of the 1967-1970 conflict. Contrary to the assertions of many critics, the novel’s complex representation of the war functions as much more than a setting for a series of family dramas at the foreground. Providing a counterargument to such readings, which emphasize the personal over the political in Half of a Yellow Sun, this paper will propose and trace a political allegory legible within the characters’ personal relationships and historical circumstances. Specifically, I will argue that the relationship between two protagonists, the twins Olanna and Kainene, aligns with the relationship between (Northern) Nigeria and the Eastern Nigeria, known as Biafra between 1967 and 1970, during its attempt to secede. In the way that Kainene grows emotionally distant from Olanna, eventually stops speaking to her, and suddenly disappears, so Eastern Nigeria increasingly clashed with Northern Nigeria during the early 1960s, seceded as the Republic of Biafra in 1967, and eventually “disappeared” at the end of the war in 1970, as it was absorbed back into Nigeria. Rather than indicating a sense of finality, however, Adichie’s text refuses closure in ways that ultimately suggest an alternative both to the notion that the novel has an apolitical, purely tragic ending, and to dominant narratives about the Biafran secession’s “inevitable” failure. This reading thus intervenes in critical conversations about Half of a Yellow Sun, the Biafran state, and secession and self-determination throughout Africa. If Kainene’s disappearance does not only testify to the tragedies of war, and if her character allegorically corresponds to Biafra, then what political possibilities might her disappearance allow? Does Biafra—and in turn, the possibility of secession—remain at large too? Far from the prevalent scholarly and political rhetoric that relegates Biafra to a narrow three-year time frame, Adichie’s novel conceives of a Biafran existence beyond the pages of some finalized history.<br>text

Abstract:
Linear encoder has been widely used in various position controls in industries, especially in machinery industry. The purpose of using linear encoders is to give precise position control in dynamic applications. Furthermore, using linear encoders helps minimize errors caused by human or mechanical problems such as backlash and thermal expansion [2]. There are various types of linear encoders such as mechanical, optical, magnetic, etc. Nevertheless, magnetic encoders are able to withstand harsh environment such as oil, grease, and dust much effective than the rest. Magnetic encoders have several advantageous qualities: low cost, fast response, and high reliability [1, 3]. Figure 1 shows the magnetic field of a magnetic scale where the yellow curves indicate the change of magnetic poles. The upper half of the scale is the incremental mark and the bottom half is the reference mark. Prior to magnetization, the scale has only the incremental mark, and the magnetizing process is to magnetize bottom half of the incremental mark into reference mark as shown in Fig. 1.

Abstract:
In an associated work [9], a low-ratio Epicyclic drive is developed that resembles a Planetary drive but has crank-shaft pinions, an additional carrier replacing its ring gear, and half the reduction ratio of a similarly sized Planetary drive. Adding couplings that reverse the sun and planet engagement, further reduces the ratio below unity. Interchanging the roles of the input and output shafts results in high reduction ratios similar to a Cycloid drive. Like a Cycloid drive, it has co-axial drive shafts and a reduction ratio that depends on the difference between gear pitch diameters. Unlike a Cycloid drive, the drive shafts spin in a common direction, torque is split between multiple co-planar transmission paths, and no ring gears are required. It has many optional configurations, none of which slip or jam, and is a viable option for speed reduction applications that require low cost and complexity in a compact package.

Abstract:
ESA’s fifth and last Automated Transfer Vehicle, ATV Georges Lemaître, tested new rendezvous technology before docking with the International Space Station (ISS) in August 2014. The technology demonstration called Laser Infrared Imaging Sensors (LIRIS) provides an unseen view of the ISS. During Georges Lemaître’s rendezvous, LIRIS sensors, composed of two infrared cameras, one visible camera, and a scanning LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), were turned on two and a half hours and 3500 m from the Space Station. All sensors worked as expected and a large amount of data was recorded and stored within ATV-5’s cargo hold before being returned to Earth with the Soyuz flight 38S in September 2014. As a part of the LIRIS postflight activities, the information gathered by all sensors is collected inside a flight database together with the reference ATV trajectory and attitude estimated by ATV main navigation sensors. Although decoupled from the ATV main computer, the LIRIS data were carefully synchronized with ATV guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) data. Hence, the LIRIS database can be used to assess the performance of various image processing algorithms to provide range and line-of-sight (LoS) navigation at long/medium range but also 6 degree-of-freedom (DoF) navigation at short range. The database also contains information related to the overall ATV position with respect to Earth and the Sun direction within ATV frame such that the effect of the environment on the sensors can also be investigated. This paper introduces the structure of the LIRIS database and provides some example of applications to increase the technology readiness level of noncooperative rendezvous.

Abstract:
This paper discusses a Fiber-Optic Hybrid Day-Lighting system that can cut energy consumed by buildings for lighting significantly. This system is designed for mobile applications such as military shelters. The system is comprised of two primary components: the solar collector and the Solar Hybrid Lighting Fixture. The first component, the solar collector, consists of a housing, structural stand, a dual axis tracking system, Fresnel Lenses, secondary optics, and fiber-optic cables. The collector is integrated into a dual-axis tracker, which is then mounted on a tripod. The tripod can be staked into the ground and weighed down to protect the system from any wind loading and the collector height can be adjusted so that there is no shading of the collector by nearby structures. The collector with an aluminum housing holds eight 10-inch diameter Fresnel Lenses that focus sunlight onto eight secondary optics based on TIR (total internal reflection) which filter UV/IR and deliver uniform light to the fiber-optic cables. The secondary optic is coupled to the fiber-optic cable with index matching gel so that Fresnel reflection losses are minimized. The solar collector tracks the sun’s movement through the day with a dual-axis tracker (azimuth/tilt), ensuring the light is concentrated into the fiber-optic cables. The optics has been designed to have a high half-acceptance of 1.75° and can accommodate a tracking accuracy of 1.50° or better. The opposite end of the fiber-optic cable attaches to the second part of the Day-Lighting system, the Solar Hybrid Light Fixture (SHLF). The SHLF comprises of two lighting systems: 1) a solar fiber-optic system and 2) an LED system. The fiber-optic cable is coupled to an acrylic light diffusing rod that evenly delivers the light into the room. During sunny periods, depending on the length of the cable, solar fiber-optic lighting could provide full illumination of the space. In order to keep lighting uniform even during fluctuations of the light output from the sun during cloudy periods, the LED portion of the light will allow for constant lighting at a lower power consumption. The LED lighting has dimming capabilities due to a photosensor that regulates the light output of the LEDs based on how much solar light is delivered by the fiber-optic cables. On a typical sunny day with an overall concentration factor of ∼400 from the Fresnel Lens system to the optical fiber, it is possible to generate an output of 2,000 lumens with a 20-foot cable, with each fiber-optic cable experiencing a 1% loss of light per foot of cable. The LED portion of the hybrid light fixture produces about 1,800 lumens as well.

Abstract:
More than two hundred sixty grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) systems sized 30 kW to 1.1 MW installed in California during 2002 through 2004 received partial funding through the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP). The SGIP is administered statewide by PG&amp;E, SCE, SoCalGas, and the San Diego Regional Energy Office. The incentive is structured as a one-time capacity based payment made at the time of system completion. The first PV system incentive was paid in Summer 2002. Through the end of 2004, a total of 269 PV systems had received financial support through the program. The cumulative generation capacity of these systems exceeded 30 MW and corresponded to $101 million of incentives paid. While originally slated to run through 2004, recently the program was modified and extended through the end of 2007. PV systems participating in the program are being monitored to support evaluation of the program. These data have been used to assess impacts of the Program on peak demand and energy consumption. These data have also been incorporated into the Program’s cost-effectiveness assessment. Well over one-half of the PV systems have already been subject to metering yielding 15-minute interval generator output data. The cumulative size of the directly monitored PV systems currently exceeds 33 MW as of late 2005. In 2004, the statewide California Independent System Operator (ISO) electrical system peak occurred on September 8 during the 16th hour (from 3 to 4 PM PDT). During this hour the electrical demand for the California ISO reached 45,562 MW. On this day, there were 235 PV systems funded under the SGIP installed and operating; interval-metered data are available for 107 of these projects. The resulting estimate of peak demand impact coincident with the ISO peak load totals 9,938 kW. The estimated peak demand impact corresponds to 0.39 kW per 1.0 kWRebated of PV system size and is based on rebated capacity. Those unfamiliar with PV system size ratings and PV system operating characteristics may be surprised that the overall weighted-average peak demand impact was not substantially higher at this hour and time of year. To help put this result in perspective, it can be compared to a simple engineering estimate of peak power output based on published information regarding PV system performance. First, we begin with 1 kW [basis: rebated size] of horizontal PV system capacity. For purposes of determining rebates, PV system sizes are calculated as the product of cumulative estimated module DC power output under PTC conditions and inverter maximum DC to AC conversion efficiency. Factors such as manufacturing tolerance, soiling, module mismatch, temperature effects, and wiring losses may result in actual full-sun power output levels of about 0.76 kW/kWRebated. When the 3 to 4 PM angle of incidence effects for the month of September are included the expected output value drops significantly further. The peak-day operating characteristics of the 107 PV projects for which peak-day interval-metered data were available are summarized in the box plot of Figure 4. System sizes were used to normalize power output values prior to plotting summary statistics of PV output profiles for individual projects. The normalized values represent PV power output per unit of system size. Treatment in this manner enables direct comparison of the power output characteristics of PV systems of varying sizes. The vertically oriented boxes represent ranges within which 75% of project-specific values lie. The vertical lines represent the total range (i.e., maximum and minimum) of project-specific values. The energy production of the group of metered PV systems varied according to season. In Figure 7, normalized energy production by month is illustrated (on the right axis). These values represent the monthly average capacity factor for the on-line PV system capacity. As expected, normalized energy production levels reach their maximum values in the summer season and decrease towards the winter season as the intensity and duration of incident solar radiation falls off, coupled with increased incidence of storms and other weather disturbances off the Pacific Ocean, which affect the availability of solar radiation upon the PV modules.
