Abstract:
Several available free software audio solutions were analyzed, and Jackdmp—a C++ reimplementation of the renowned JACK Audio Connection Kit—was selected as the most appropriate solution for a real-time audio architecture on DROPS. The JACK sound architecture provides the lowest processing latency possible on a desktop computer for a given set of sound card parameters. It reduces the latency jitter caused by software to zero and synchronizes streams at sample accuracy. A real-time admission scheme for JACK clients is proposed. The execution time of different typical JACK clients was analyzed with measurements to validate the assumptions the proposal is based on, but also to gain further knowledge about their timing behavior. The measurements showed that the condition set by Paul Davis—the time to process a client must be a linear function of the buffer size—holds for all tested clients. Jackdmp was ported to DROPS. The developed design of the port and its implementation is documented here. Measurements showed that—although the real-time performance of the Linux kernel is continuously being improved in the mainline and on special external branches—DROPS can provide a signaling latency that is two times lower on average than the values that can be achieved on the same machine running with a low latency patched Linux kernel. Thus, it can be stated that DROPS is well-suited for real-time audio processing and that the pursued path to use it as the foundation of a truly real-time capable audio workstation should be followed
Wenn man heute digitale Audiotechnik zum Aufnehmen oder Abmischen von Musik oder anderen Audiodaten verwenden möchte, steht man vor der Wahl, entweder auf eine sehr spezialisierte Hardwarelösung zurückzugreifen oder aber sich eines gewöhnlichen Desktopsystems mit entsprechender Audiosoftware zu bedienen. Der Vorteil eines Desktopsystems ist neben seinem deutlich niedrigeren Preis vor allem die Flexibilität. Bezüglich seines Echtzeitverhaltens bietet ein Computer mit einem Standard-Desktop-Betriebssystem aber bei weitem nicht dieselbe Verlässlichkeit einer spezialisierten Hardwarelösung oder analoger Technik. Die Architektur von DROPS --- mit dem echtzeitfähigen Fiasco- Mikrokern auf der einen Seite sowie der Unterstützung von Legacy-Anwendungen durch L4Linux auf der anderen Seite --- birgt die Hoffnung, die Vorteile von den beiden eben beschriebenen Welten auf einem System mit DROPS kombinieren zu können. Die Motivation meiner Arbeit war es, für dieses langfristige Ziel einen ersten Grundstein zu legen. Dazu war es meine Aufgabe, verschiedene Open-Source- Lösungen hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung als Echtzeit-Audioarchitektur für DROPS zu analysieren und die am besten geeignete auf L4Env zu portieren. Meine Wahl fiel dabei auf das in der Linux-Audio-Szene wohlbekannte Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK). Desweiteren konnte ich in der Arbeit untersuchen, wie sich die JACK Audioarchitektur in ein globales Echtzeit-Scheduling --- z.B. eines von DROPS --- einbetten ließe, und schlage eine generische Methode dafür vor

Abstract:
Syftet med arbetet är att konstruera en vardaglig jacka som fungerar oavsett väder, genom att undersöka krav och behov, kartlägga tillgängliga metoder, samt möjligheter att enbart använda ytbehandling som regnskydd. Kraven ställs genom att studera litteratur, samt genom en enkätundersökning. Metoderna att uppnå vattentäta textilier kategoriseras i tre grupper; mikroporösa beläggningar och laminat, hydrofila beläggningar och laminat och väldigt tätvävt material. Dess egenskaper presenteras i rapporten, framförallt tätvävt material som visade sig vara det mest passande material för jackans syfte. Möjligheten att uppnå tillräcklig vattentäthet med enbart ytbehandling testades genom att behandla olika bomullstyger, med ytbehandlingar av olika substanser. För att utvärdera effekten utfördes ett spraytest. Det visade sig att ytbehandling ger en begränsad vattenskyddande effekt, vilket inte är tillräcklig för målgruppens behov. En kombination av tätvävt material som kompletteras med membran på de mest utsatta områdena, axlar och övre delen av ryggen samt bröstet ger ett komplett skydd och kan samtidigt konstrueras utan att se teknisk ut.

Abstract:

This report investigates JACK Intelligent Agents and JACK Teams, and makes a comparison between the two. The main object was to find indications that point out which modeling paradigm that results in least development effort, and which one that is creating the most feasible platform regarding teamwork construction. The application domain is decision-support systems used in oil production. The aspects evaluated are development effort, degree of coupling, encapsulation of functionality, abstraction level, delegation of autonomy, and scalability. The solutions developed in the comparison had static team formations that included few teammembers. This caused less development effort by using JACK Intelligent Agents, and was the main reason why it was considerate to be the preferred modeling paradigm in this case. This was partly experienced because reasoning based on the actual team membership was not used in the JACK Teams version. The use of roles was used instead, causing more JACK entities where it could have been avoided. Dynamic team formations during runtime were not needed due to the reference problem introduced. Maintaince during runtime, for instance introducing new subteams and changing the role structure was not looked into. Introducing teams in large scale was not performed. These four factors could have caused a different result. The question is if JACK Teams shows its potential through the oil production system designed in this report.

Abstract:

WILLIAMS, SUNDEE KATHERINE. Jack Johnson: Victim or Villain. (Under the direction of Dr. Linda McMurry, Dr. Pamela Tyler, and Dr. Walter Jackson.)Jack Johnson reigned as the first African-American heavyweight champion of the world from 1908 until 1915. Unfortunately, unlike future African-American athletes such as Joe Louis and Jackie Robinson, Jack Johnson infuriated Americans of all ages, classes, races, and sexes with his arrogant attitude; his expensive and usually imported automobiles, champagne, and cigars; his designer clothes and jewelry; his frequent trips to Europe, usually in the company of at least one beautiful white woman; his inclination to gamble and race sports cars; and his many well-publicized nights of dancing and playing jazz on his prized seven foot bass fiddle. However, his worst offenses, during his reign as heavyweight champion, were his two marriages to and numerous affairs with white women. The purpose of the research has been to place Jack Johnson within the context of late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century culture, economics, law, politics, race, and sex. The influences of late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century American commercialization, immigration, industrialization, and urbanization on perceptions of femininity, masculinity, sexuality, and violence are investigated; and the implications of Jack Johnson?s defiance of racial and sexual constraints on the African-American community are interpreted.

Full text
Abstract:
"Jack Kerouac Does Not Lie" recounts my pilgrimage in the summer of 2000, from southwest Florida to a canyon beach in California where Jack Kerouac—as I had read in his Big Sur—lost his mind forty years earlier. I was heavily influenced. Kerouac's On the Road showed me what to do with myself. Big Sur showed me where to go. In the twentieth century Americans shifted their notions of the west coast from a means for sustenance to a symbol of post-war freedom. Kerouac seems to embody this momentum; the world and the burning spirit his work describes is a precursor to the sixties. His muse, Neal Cassady, is the common link—appearing as Dean Moriarty in Kerouac's first major work and later as himself in Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. My parents were a part of this westward yearning's last true surge in the early seventies, when they ventured cross-country and stayed out there for a time. They'd caught the tail end of the wave, and told me a bit about it. I was full of stories, mostly fiction. Sweating in my twenty year old conversion van with a big friend, Ben—whose goals were less "literary"—I sought to recreate the legends I had read, the movies I had seen, and the tales my parents had told me. I was on a mission; I wanted my trip to measure up. Ben was on vacation. Our folly is chronicled within; three weeks and four thousand miles of it.

Abstract:
JACK CLEMO: CARTOGRAPHER OF GRACE is an interpretative study of the novels and poetry of Jack Clemo. Chapter One traces, through published biographical material, the main personal influences upon the development of his vision. Chapters Two to Four show how ideas which first found publication in his published poetry only after 1951 had developed over a period of twenty years. The material for these chapters (mainly unpublished novels and juvenile poetry) was kindly loaned to the author by Mr Clemo. The published novels and first collection of verses are studied in the four following chapters, where it becomes clear that Clemo's initial, distinctive Calvinist view of life shows striking similarities with the neo-orthodox writings of Karl Earth (whom he had not then read) and the post-Barthian Jurgen Moltmann (whom Clemo has never read). These chapters offer an interpretation of Clemo's Calvinist vision and show it to be both theologically sound and, in terms of literature, unique. Clemo's contribution, it is seen, is in terms of his metaphoric use of landscape in a sustained refutation of the case for a natural theology; this, and his personal adaptation of the idea of election inspired by his admiration for Robert Browning. Substantial changes of poetic technique appear in the collection Cactus on Carmel, and these, and their sources, are accounted for in Chapter Nine. Chapters Ten to Twelve trace the development of Clemo's poetry away from its pre-occupation with the landscape of South- East Cornwall, the expansion of genre to include portraiture and dramatic monologue, and account for these developments in terms of Clemo's life-long determination to marry. This determination is seen to be the most important influence upon Clemo's life, shaping all the work he has produced. Chapter Thirteen examines the poetry in which Clemo challenges head on the materialism of the century. The final chapter is a detailed study of the worksheets of poems Clemo wrote over some twenty five years, and thus compares the processes of production adopted after the poet became blind with those employed earlier.

Abstract:
In Jack London: Landscape, Love, and Place, American Studies theories and methods formed the prime basis for analysis of London's biography, historical context, and literary significance. Particularly, the ideas of agrarianism, the Turner Thesis moment, Western literature, American masculinity, Victorian ideals, and sustainable farm practices in America were used to understand London's motivations for writing and creating his farm, his influence on American literature, and his texts' abilities to open avenues between literature and place-based education. Key concepts that influenced how London's works could be incorporated into and applied to didactic theory included David Sobel's seminal works in place-based education. The principle idea behind this thesis was to analyze one author and two of his works in a wider theoretical context, and then, to use that analysis to apply the theories to practical methods of educating future students in sustainable practices, place-based learning, and future work in understanding their impact on the ecosystems of their local communities and landscapes.

Tracy, Janet. "Jack Epperson: A Modern Folk Healer." TopSCHOLAR®, 1991. https://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/2921.

Full text
Abstract:
This study in folk medicine focuses on a modern magico-religious folk healer named Jack Epperson, who utilizes the principles of bioenergetics or placing hands on an ill person's body and directing healing energy into blocked channels to heal, in the context of the small Alaskan community in which he lives and practices. The thesis is divided into seven chapters preceded by an introduction and followed by a conclusion. To fit Jack Epperson into the full spectrum of folk medicine, it is necessary to comprehend fully the two categories of folk medicine: herbal or natural medicine, and magico-religious healing or shamanism. The first chapter defines these categories, places Epperson within the realm of magico-religious healing, and describes the community in which he lives. In the second chapter, a thorough description of Epperson's emergence as a healer and subsequent training with his mentor, a woman named Patricia Sun, is given. This chapter also contains extensive biographical information which relates his life experiences to his decision to become a healer. As Epperson continued on his path into magico-religious healing, he took many physical and spiritual journeys venturing into the occult. Chapter Three describes these journeys and provides case studies on healing situations. Chapter Four continues with case studies in curing but limits these memorates to Epperson's experiences in Homer with his patients. Chapter Five establishes Epperson as a modern shaman within the traditional background of shamanism in other cultures. The next two chapters describe the role of the patient in folk medicine providing interviews with two of Epperson's patients as well as the researcher as patient. Motives for enlisting the aid of a magico-religious healer are examined in these two chapters as well. The concluding chapter focuses on the importance of Jack Epperson and modern folk healers like him in our society. The prevailing question throughout the research and writing concerned the reason why such healers are reemerging in an increasingly technologically advanced society. With the strides the conventional medical establishment have made, it is important to understand why people are returning in increasing numbers to magico-religious healers. Healing is a profoundly cultural activity and research into folk healers provides information about human behavior and thought processes that occur when faced with traumatic illness or injury.

Full text
Abstract:
My dissertation, Letters from Jack and Other Cadavers, developed out of my interest in using persona, narrative forms, and historical details collected through thorough research to transform personal experience and emotions in my poems. The central series of poems, "Letters from Jack," is written in the voice of Jack the Ripper and set up as a series of poems-as-letters to the police who chased him. The Ripper's sense of self and his motivations are troubled by his search for a muse as the poems become love poems, contrasting the brutality of the historical murders and the atmosphere of late 19th century London with a charismatic speaker not unlike those of Browning's Dramatic Monologues. The dissertation's preface further explores my desire for a level of personal removal while crafting poems in order to temper sentimentality. Drawing on Wallace Stevens's notion that "Sentimentality is failed emotion" and Tony Hoagland's assessment that fear of sentimentality can turn young poets away from narrative forms, I examine my own poems along with those of Scott Cairns, Tim Seibles, and Albert Goldbarth to derive conclusions on the benefits distance, persona, narrative, and detail to downplay excessive emotion and the intrusion of the personal. Poems from the manuscript have appeared in The Beloit Poetry Journal, Sybil's Garage, The North Texas Review, and The Sheridan Edwards Review.

Abstract:
L’objectif de cette recherche est de comprendre les origines, le processus et les différentes implications de la crise traversée par différents personnages d’écrivains, tels qu’ils sont représentés dans les oeuvres d’écriture personnelle de Jack London, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Jean-Paul Sartre et Jack Kerouac. Plus spécifiquement, notre but est d’examiner la mise en cause par l’écrivain de son statut social et de ses fonctions auctoriales, ainsi que son rejet de la littérature, niée tant dans sa valeur (esthétique, politique, commerciale) que dans son efficacité (sa capacité à agir sur le monde). Nous affirmons que cette mise en cause et ce rejet témoignent, dans leur association, d’une tentative de rénovation du positionnement de l’écrivain par rapport à son oeuvre, à la société, à la communauté littéraire, ainsi qu’à lui-même et à sa définition d’être humain. Afin de parvenir à ces conclusions, nous avons structuré notre recherche autour de trois figures mythiques associées à l’artiste : Prométhée, Narcisse, et Dédale. Nous envisageons ainsi : avec Prométhée, l’entrée en littérature d’un écrivain se concevant à la fois comme exclu et tout-puissant ; avec Narcisse, les problèmes que génère ce mode d’investissement de la littérature ; avec Dédale, la tentative de repositionnement de l’écrivain au sein de l’humanité ordinaire. Notre dernière partie examine l’écho rencontré par cette tentative de repositionnement dans différentes oeuvres de la postérité où sont représentés les auteurs de notre corpus
In this project, I develop a comparative reading of a series of "personal narratives" produced by Jack London, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Jean-Paul Sartre and Jack Kerouac. My purpose is to analyze how these writers all question their own social status and function as authors, while denying literature’s value and efficiency in aesthetic, politic, and commercial terms. Scrutinizing different figures of these writers which their works offer, I argue that all these literary works are converged in an attempt at defining their positions as writers within their works, societies, and at characterizing their way to exist as human beings. This thesis thematically refers to three great mythical figures often associated with the figure of the artist: Prometheus, Narcissus, and Daedalus. Through Prometheus, I examine the status of writers that think themselves endowed with an almighty speech; through Narcissus, I examine the problems that such a way of investing literature with power generates; through Daedalus, I examine the attempts made by the writers to access a new status within ordinary humanity. In my conclusions, I examine how these writers’ attempt at reforming their authorial status while denying the efficiency of literature, and for this purpose I consider a variety of later literary and visual works in which London, Céline, Sartre and Kerouac are represented

Rhodes, Susan. "Investigation of JAK2 targets in haematological malignancy." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2017. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/8387/.

Full text
Abstract:
Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) is a critical activator of signalling associated with many different receptors, particularly those associated with haematopoiesis and the inflammatory response. Classically JAK2 has been thought of as a cytoplasmic protein, but more recently there is evidence that JAK2 is able to enter the nucleus leading to alteration of epigenetic modifiers and enhancement of JAK2 transcriptional targets. This role in haematopoiesis means that alteration of JAK2 signalling, such as in malignant haematopoiesis, can be a critical factor in the development and maintenance of disease. The myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are a group of conditions characterised by over-production of myeloid cells as a result of acquired mutations in haematopoietic stem cells. Two well-known MPNs are chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), driven by the novel oncoprotein BCR-ABL, and polycythaemia vera (PV), driven by the JAK2 V617F activating mutation. JAK2 is critical for normal haematopoiesis through its role in initiating signalling following activation of a receptor by its ligand. In this study we looked several aspects of JAK2 activity, including its effect on gene expression, its activity within the nucleus, and the effect of overactivity on aspects of inflammation. Here we show that gene expression in both CML and PV patient samples is deregulated compared to normal controls with both previously confirmed alterations such as BCL2 and MCL1 in CML and STAT1 and MPL in PV, and novel alterations such as Rex1 and SUMO2 in CML and EGR1 in PV. These alterations at the level of mRNA transcription are validated by significant alterations in cell cycle and apoptosis in cell lines following treatment with JAK2 inhibitors. As part of the investigation of the activity of JAK2 in the nucleus we hypothesised that JAK2 may interact directly with PML nuclear bodies, a subnuclear structure with numerous regulatory roles in apoptosis, cell cycle, DNA repair and response to infection. Using immunofluorescence based techniques in cell lines and patient samples we showed that JAK2 does interact directly with PML nuclear bodies. This interaction was affected by JAK2 inhibitors in cell lines and increased in PV patient monocytes compared to normal controls. Treatment of cell lines with the JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib and arsenic trioxide, which degrades PML, led to an increase in apoptosis compared to either compound alone, suggesting a meaningful functional interaction in both normal and malignant haematopoiesis. The role of the JAK2 V617F in cellular function has been extensively investigated particularly in neutrophils and platelets. However the effect of the JAK2 V617F mutation on monocytes and monocyte derived macrophages has not previously been investigated. Here we show that patients with PV have an alteration in monocyte subsets with an increase in the inflammatory intermediate monocytes at the expense of classical monocytes. We also showed that macrophages derived from peripheral blood monocytes obtained from patients with JAK2 V617F positive PV behaved differently from those derived from normal controls. There were alterations both at rest and in response to stimulation in terms of the morphology, with a more inflammatory phenotype seen, and in cytokine release with blunting of some responses and heightening of other. These alterations were seen both in M1 and M2 macrophages. Overall the work presented in this thesis shows wide ranging alterations in many aspects of cellular behaviour as a result of overactivity of JAK2. Some of these findings have been previously identified and discussed, but there are several key novel findings which progress out understanding of JAK2 function both in normal and malignant haematopoiesis, and the effects of malignant JAK2 activation on cellular behaviour.

Abstract:
Il y a deux discours contradictoires chez Jack London, l'un socialiste et l'autre évolutionniste. Notre propos a été d'indiquer que l'idéologie évolutionniste est antinomique avec l'idéologie et l'idéal socialistes tels que nous les entendons, c'est-à-dire la coopération, l'avènement d'un ordre social ou la rivalité, la compétition feraient place à l'harmonie sociale et à la solidarité. La lutte pour l'existence, la survivance du plus apte qui sont les fondements mêmes du système évolutionniste s'opposent à l'idéal des socialistes. Or Jack London prône visiblement l'une et l'autre idéologies d'où le concept du paradoxe darwino-marxiste. Mais il apparait à l'analyse de ses œuvres qu'il est plus évolutionniste, plus darwiniste avec une tendance marquée au nietzschéisme qu'il n'est socialiste. Son racisme virulent contre les non-anglo-saxons, les races basanées et les noirs invalident toute prétention au socialisme, synonyme de fraternité universelle
There are two contradictory attitudes in Jack London, the one is socialist, the other evolutionist. My aim in this thesis is to show that the evolutionary ideology is antithetic with the socialist ideology and ideal as i understand them, i. E. Cooperation, the coming of a new social order in which rivalries, vital competition will give way to social harmony and solidarity. The struggle for life and the survival of the fittest which are the basis of the evolutionist system are opposed to the ideal of the socialist. Yet Jack London obviously advocates both ideologies, which explains the use of the concept of darwino-marxist paradox. But it appears from the study of his works that he is more of an evolutionist, more of a Darwinist with pronounced nietzschean leanings than he is a socialist. Anyhow his violent anti-non-Anglo-Saxon, anti-brown and anti-black racism invalidates any claims of his to socialism, synonymous of universal brotherhood

We study the sl(3) web algebra via morphisms on foams. A pre-foam is a cobordism between two webs that contains singular arcs, which are sets of points whose neighborhoods are homeomorphic to the cross-product of the letter "Y'' and the unit interval. Pre-foams may have a distinguished point, and it can be moved around as long as it does not cross a singular arc. A foam is an isotopy class of pre-foams modulo a set of certain relations involving dots on the pre-foams. Composition in Foams is achieved by stacking pre-foams. We compute the cohomology ring of the sl(3) web algebra and apply a functor from the cohomology ring of the sl(3) web algebra to {\bf Foams}.

Abstract:
This Dissertation, entitled Jack and the Blue Flower: An Aural Myth, establishes a new approach to formal design, referred to henceforth as a Musical Personograph. This 17-minute work presents a highly developed musical portrait of an individual, in this case British writer and philosopher-theologian C. S. (“Jack”) Lewis. The conceptual and compositional designs are a synthesis of (1) the core principles of Personography, a psychological discipline that seeks to empirically determine the ways in which an individual establishes self-identity via an internalized and evolving life-story; (2) leitmotif and thematic transformation techniques, extended and expanded to include not only melody but harmony; rhythm; polyrhythm and polymeter; pitch centers; orchestration; tonality, polytonality, and atonality; (3) stratified textures consisting of perceptually distinct layers of musical material that contribute fundamentally to the overall shape and form of the work. Novel compositional principles applied include (1) an exploration of the expressive possibilities of an updated approach to programmatic music (musical materials with relationships to extra-musical symbols); (2) the use of intrinsically musical narrative and/or dramatic structures—that is, the establishment of a compositional design that imparts a narrative and/or dramatic structure to a work that functions independently of any imposed extra-musical associations. This work’s intrinsically musical narrative is accomplished via forward- and backward-pointing references (in time) to audibly recognizable musical material of primary importance, called Musical Aspects and Narrative Agents; changes to the musical context framing said Aspects and Agents as the work progresses; the use of multiple musical languages and rhetorical devices which, through shared cultural associations, enable the listener to assign dramatic and/or emotional values to the musical narrative as it unfolds.

Abstract:
L'algebra delle funzioni simmetriche a coefficienti in un campo è costituita dalle serie formali in infinite (numerabili) variabili invarianti rispetto ad una qualsiasi permutazione delle variabili. In questa tesi presenteremo l'algebra delle funzioni simmetriche a coefficienti razionali, in particolare studiando quattro basi e un'involuzione abbastanza naturali per tale spazio e introducendo un prodotto scalare. Ci concentreremo poi su una base meno ovvia dello spazio, la base di Schur, caratterizzata dalle proprietà di ortogonalità e unitriangolarità rispetto alla base monomiale con un particolare ordine e che gode di notevoli proprietà combinatorie. Il secondo capitolo sarà dedicato alla generalizzazione delle funzioni di Schur nell'ambiente delle funzioni simmetriche a coefficienti nel campo delle funzioni razionali in un indeterminata alpha a coefficienti razionali, le cosiddette funzioni di Jack, caratterizzate ancora dalle stesse proprietà delle funzioni di Schur; in particolare, il risultato principale proposto sarà proprio l'esistenza e unicità di tale base, dopodichè verranno presentate alcune proprietà delle funzioni di Jack che possono essere viste come generalizzazioni di quelle esibite nel capitolo precedente per le funzioni di Schur. Nel terzo e ultimo capitolo si presenterà un'estensione delle funzioni simmetriche, ovvero le funzioni simmetriche nel superspazio (o superfunzioni simmetriche): serie formali in cui oltre ad infinite variabili commutative compaiono infinite variabili anticommutative che siano invarianti rispetto ad una qualsiasi permutazione delle variabili che agisca simultaneamente sulle variabili commutative e su quelle anticommutative. In particolare, si proporrà prima una generalizzazione nel superspazio di quanto visto per l'algebra delle funzioni simmetriche a coefficienti razionali, dopodiché si fornirà una prima introduzione alle superfunzioni di Jack.

Abstract:
The aim of this Master's thesis is to study how generational identities are conveyed in the reception of two debut novels, Jack by Ulf Lundell and Allt by Martina Lowden. Both novels have been considered literary and social expressions of their generations. The empirical material consists of 14 reviews in Swedish daily press from the time of publication of Jack and Allt, respectively. The thesis revolves around the following questions: How is the generational identity defined in terms of lifestyle practices, milieus and other social circumstances? To what extent are structured factors such as gender and class considered? How are the critics considering the reflexive project of the self? I base the theoretical framework on Anthony Giddens' theories about identity creation in the late modern society. Idea analysis is used in the classification and analysis of the textual material. The model of analysis is based on factors that by Giddens are considered to affect the identity process. The result of the analysis shows that the generational identities expressed in the two novels appear very different. In the reviews discussing Jack, the identity is based on destructive lifestyle practices and is closely related to the political environment. In the reviews of Allt the identity is connected to a literary main theme that is constructed in relation to mediated influences. The conclusion suggests an increased understanding of the individual identity as a result of a reflexive process.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Engenharia Civil
Inserido no contexto da região onde está localizada a Universidade de Aveiro a construção em adobe é tema de discussão de vários estudos científicos promovidos por esta universidade. Os ensaios de macacos planos (flat jack) apesar de já largamente conhecidos e estudados por diferentes autores apresentam resultados que podem ser melhorados. Na presente dissertação realizou-se ensaios de macacos planos numa parede de alvenaria de adobe construída em laboratório com o objectivo não de estudar as características mecânicas do adobe mas sim adaptar o protocolo de ensaio actualmente utilizado neste tipo de ensaios de modo a permitir melhorias na medição da área efectivamente carregada. A medição desta área efectivamente carregada passou por duas fases principais: a primeira consistiu na adaptação de uma rede de marcação na superfície do macaco onde se realizaram ensaios em condições idênticas de modo a comparar-se os resultados obtidos entre o ensaio de macacos planos normal e o ensaio de macacos planos adaptado com rede de marcação. Foram estimados valores segundo a via de cálculo sugerida pelo Eurocódigo 6 e por métodos expeditos de modo a comparar-se os resultados obtidos com aqueles estimados por via experimental. Numa segunda fase promoveram-se estudos da viabilidade da utilização de redes de Bragg como medidores de deformações no ensaio de macacos planos. Estes estudos implicaram testes de adaptabilidade da fibra óptica aos condicionalismos do ensaio de macacos planos. Os resultados obtidos na presente dissertação acentuam a importância da área efectivamente carregada na validade dos resultados obtidos por este tipo de ensaios “in situ” e constituem um primeiro passo na adopção de novas tecnologias que irão fornecer resultados mais precisos.
Inserted in the context of the region where the Universidade de Aveiro is located, the adobe construction is the discussion topic of several scientific studies promoted by this University. The flat jacks testing, despite widely known and studied by different authors, present results that could still be improved. In this dissertation, trials on flat jacks were done on a adobe masonry wall previously built in a laboratory, not with the objective of studying the mechanical characteristics of the adobe, but with the objective of adapting the test protocol currently used in this type of trials, so that improvements in the measuring of the effectively loaded area would be possible. The measuring of the effectively loaded area, relevant feature of flat jack testing, undertook two main phases: The first phase consisted in the adaptation of a marking mesh in the surface of the flat jack, where the trials were executed, under identical conditions, in order to compare the results obtained with the normal testing protocol flat jacks trials and the results obtained in the adapted jacks with the marking mesh. Values were estimated accordingly to the calculations suggested by the Eurocode 6 and using expedite methods in order to compare the results obtained with those calculated in an experimental way. In a second phase viability studies were promoted concerning the use of Bragg networks as a measure of deformability on flat jacks testing. This studies implied tests on the adaptability of optic fiber to the constraints of the flat jack testing trial. The results obtained in this dissertation accentuate the importance of the effectively loaded area in the validity of the results obtained in this type of “in situ” testing, and constitute the first step towards the adoption of new technologies that will be able to provide more accurate results.

Abstract:
The research and creative portions of this thesis develop from the various responses individuals experience in the wake of a loss. The research into the evolution of faith in author Jack Kerouac's 'Duluoz Legend' and the central storyline of the novel 'Mayor of Hollywood' spring from the same well: the crossroads between death and faith. The research piece concerns itself with Kerouac's exploration of the spiritual interior in the wake of the death of his protagonist's older brother, developing a personal faith that blends Buddhism and Catholicism unfettered by formal religious practice, mirroring instead an older path of Catholic mysticism. Mayor of Hollywood explores the opposite side of the religious coin: the protagonist, Lucy Cassidy, has little compelling interest in her own spiritual existence but must address the practicalities of her partner's formal practice of Catholicism, including dietary restrictions, regular worship, moral strictures, and the religious formalization of the guilt process. At the same time, Lucy and Mark must resolve several deaths that have occurred, substituting the secular path of crime detection for the more spiritual quest to reunite with God. Linked by the shared topic of death, the two halves of the thesis address faith as a whole, exploring the interior and exterior spiritual life.

Abstract:
Resumo: Os dramaturgos gregos basearam as suas peças em fatos mitológicos e históricos que receberam uma interpretação trágica. Dentro deste contexto, Jack Richardson, que tem um profundo conhecimento da tragédia Grega, também tenta inserir alguns acontecimentos políticos e históricos que afetam a Civilização Moderna dentro da estrutura do mito de Orestes. Em sua peça, The Prodigal, que está sendo analisada nesta dissertação, ele enfoca a Guerra de Tróia e, como acontece em todas as guerras, os soldados que voltam, como os cidadãos de Argos, são atingidos pelas conseqüências psicológicas de após-guerra de exaustão e fadiga. Na peça citada acima, a dimensão política é fundamental e constitui uma espécie de leitmotiv que sustenta a ação. O autor demonstra um interesse especial pela função política do homem - a estrutura política determina os aspectos sociais e religiosos nesta peça. Em um texto literário, o aspecto político não transporta valor por si só, mas, pode significar um elemento essencial de sua estrutura. Richardson dramatiza a sua teoria de Evolução Histórica em The Prodigal pondo em evidência as razões e circunstâncias que causam a queda de uma Instituição, que não pode manter os seus valores fundamentais contra uma nova mentalidade que emerge. Ele analisa as divergências políticas, a sociologia da família e discute argumentos religiosos, literários e filosóficos, tendo como modelos os personagens da antiga mitologia. O principal objetivo desta dissertação é determinar a teoria de Evolução Histórica de Jack Richardson em The Prodigal. A minha intenção é comparar a peça moderna com a Oréstia de Ésquilo para determinar até que ponto os dois dramaturgos sustentam os mesmos pontos de vista e quais especificamente são as inovações introduzidas por Jack Richardson.

Abstract:

Den traditionella förväntade nyttoteorin har kritiserats för att inte vara realistisk i sina förutsägelser om hur beslut tas vid risk. Eftersom de flesta situationer innefattar någon form av risk är det viktigt att utreda ifall man bör söka efter en alternativ teori. I denna uppsats undersöks hur väl nyttoteorin och en konkurrent till denna, prospektteorin, kan förklara riskbeteendet hos Black Jack-spelare. Detta görs genom en studie av fem individers spelbeteende på en krog i centrala Jönköping. Materialet analyseras både grafiskt och statistiskt genom att undersöka om individernas beteende förändras beroende på utfallet dels i de fem senaste händerna och dels under hela spelomgången. Resultaten tyder på att individer tar bättre beslut om de har en ackumulerad vinst och sämre beslut om de har en ackumulerad förlust under den tidigare spelomgången, vilket är förenligt med prospektteorin. Samtidigt upptäcks en uttröttningseffekt som leder till sämre beslut tagna ju längre man har spelat, som ingen av teorierna förutsäger. En spelare som har en vinst kan kompensera för denna effekt, men en spelare med förlust kommer att ta sämre beslut både på grund av förlusten och på grund av uttröttning i något som kan kallas för en förlustspiral.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to validate the performance of the jack pine (Pinus banksiana L.) version of the growth simulator CroBas-PipeQual. A data-based approach and a simulation approach were applied. For the data-based validation, Ontario permanent sample plots (PSPs) were used as input to the CroBas-PipeQual simulator to obtain predicted values for growth of dbh, height, basal area per ha, changes in crown height and number of trees per ha. The corresponding growth (change) in these variables was compared with the measured growth (change) on the PSPs. For the simulation studies, I assessed the impact of different initial stand densities, different initial heights, and different values of the model parameters on the output variables and compared the simulated response to biological expectations. CroBas-PipeQual simulator generally underestimated growth/change of all variables at the stand and single tree level using both default and adjusted values of alpha-r. Running the simulator with the adjusted values of alpha-r did not show marked improvements in the simulator´s performance. The simulator generally produced logical results based on the simulations conducted. In denser stands, trees had a smaller average dbh at a given age, and basal area growth and change in number of trees were higher. Initial density had almost no influence on height and crown height growth. The number of stems per ha remained essentially the same on sites with different productivities, indicating that there may be problems with estimating mortality in the simulator. Varying the initial heights had almost no impact on the number of stems per ha, dbh growth and basal area growth. Overall, the simulator performed reasonably. However, it requires further testing. More testing with suitable data will allow assessing the simulator´s applicability to other site types and geographical locations. Another area that needs attention is modelling mortality. Recalibrating some of the equation parameters internal to the jack pine version of CrosBas-PipeQual is recommended, followed by further testing. Finally, the accuracy of predictions of variables not evaluated in this study (e.g., branch sizes, numbers, and locations) should be assessed before these components of the simulator are used operationally.

Abstract:
This thesis is inspired by the abiding academic and public interest in Kerouac’s work and aims to advance new readings of Kerouac’s prose in a contemporary literary and cultural context. It is particularly concerned with a deconstructive reading of Kerouac’s prose and engages with his negotiations of race, gender, spirituality and origins within the framework of post-war America’s accelerated culture. Kerouac’s indebtedness to modernist techniques notwithstanding, this thesis argues that in its historical and thematic preoccupations Kerouac’s prose is vividly conversant with postmodern strategies. Without losing perspective of the late forties and fifties background from which Kerouac’s works emerged, the thesis explores the ways in which his thematic, linguistic and structural concerns interact with contemporary theory. Tracing the Kerouacian narrator’s problematization of the search for meaning in an accelerating culture, it examines his prose in a post-war context of uncertainty and ambiguity. In active dialogue with his contemporary America, Kerouac addresses and often challenges the dominant cultural practices of his time. Foregrounding the conflicts of his era, he anticipates subsequent social developments and philosophical debates, gesturing towards and at times capturing a postmodern sensibility. The four chapters of the thesis analyse Kerouac’s approach to the concept of simulation, his position towards Western representations of Eastern spirituality, his negotiation of the image of the exotic other and his narrative constructions of ethnicity and identity. Using the work of theorists such as Baudrillard, Virilio and Derrida, and also drawing on postcolonial studies, I demonstrate how Kerouac produces a highly performative prose in his projections of identity and heterogeneity. It is this ability to converse with literary and cultural developments up to the present day that best illuminates the contemporary appeal of Kerouac’s deconstructive approach to the notions of identity and otherness and most vividly illustrates the continuing vitality of Kerouac’s writing.

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Jack-Alain Léger committed suicide on 17 July 2013 at the age of 66, leaving behind him a large amount of work that has not formed the object of any academic study, not even partially. Many articles have been written about the author but none about his novels. Léger was especially known for his multitude of pseudonyms, his manic-depressive tendencies, his conflicts with all his editors, his homosexuality, the controversy linked to the alias Paul Smaïl or for his Islamophobia, his hatred towards his biological father and towards an alleged brother who died before his birth but also for his literary talent, his wide erudition and his brilliant and provocative mind. Underneath these characteristics hides an author whose work, that appears incoherent at first sight, reflects a profound reflection on the aesthetic, the essence and the ultimate purpose of art. Although Léger’s art involves the domain of aestheticism, it is also intended to subvert and oppose a society that limits imagination and individual potential by imposing a uniform identity. In this way, Léger illustrates in all his works the separation and alienation of the self through the dead child motive, emphasizing his refusal to acknowledge having been born as an alienated self. Lost in the ambiguity of an image that had not been received by society, Léger wanders in the infinite game of mirrors like Narcissus searching for an ideal self and an ideal beauty in the lake’s waters where he gazes upon his reflection. In this multidisciplinary research, I will study the entirety of Léger’s work in the light of the notion of narcissism and the multiple reflections that it includes. The narcissistic force that serves as a fermenting agent for the creation of Léger’s work is developed through a literary, sociological, psychoanalytical and philosophical interpretation. The final chapter discusses the elements these different perspectives have in common and they are drawn together in the concept of tertiary narcissism, as a mechanism of self-protection and self-recreation which is, however, not without danger as revealed in the tale of Narcissus.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Jack-Alain Léger het op 17 Julie 2013 in die ouderdom van 66 selfmoord gepleeg. Hy laat ‘n talryke oeuvre agter wat nog nie die onderwerp gevorm het van ‘n akademiese ondersoek nie, selfs nie gedeeltelik nie. Die skrywer word wel dikwels genoem in artikels en tekste maar nie sy werk nie. Léger was veral bekend vir sy verskeidenheid pseudonieme, sy bipolêre tendense, gedurige konflik met sy uitgewers, sy homoseksualiteit, die polemiek rondom die gebruik van die pseudoniem Paul Smaïl of sy Islamofobie, die haat vir sy pa en vir ‘n putatiewe broer wat voor geboorte dood is – maar ook vir sy literêre talent, sy uitgebreide kennis en sy briljante uitdagende gees. Onder al hierdie eienskappe is daar egter ook ‘n skrywer waarvan die oeuvre met die eerste oogopslag onsamehangend mag voorkom maar in werklikheid ‘n diep besinning inhou oor estetika, die essensie en die einddoel van kuns. Alhoewel Léger se kuns raak aan die veld van estetika, is die bedoeling daarvan ook subversief en gemik teen ‘n samelewing wat die verbeelding probeer hok slaan en die individu se potensiaal beperk deur die oplegging van ‘n eenvormige identiteit. Só illustreer Léger in sy werk die afsondering en die vervreemding van die self deur die motief van die dooie kind ; die versinnebeelding van sy weiering om gebore te word as ‘n vervreemde self. Verlore in die dubbelsinnigheid van ‘n beeld wat nie deur die samelewing ontvang kon word nie, dwaal Léger tussen die oneindige spel van spieëls soos Narcissus wat ‘n ideaal soek van homself en van skoonheid in die water van die meer waarin hy staar na sy beeld. Hierdie multidissiplinêre studie ondersoek Léger se oeuvre in sy geheel in die lig van die begrip van narcissisme en die veelvoudige weerspieëlings daarvan. Die narcissistiese krag as gis vir Léger se kreatiewe werk word ingeknie in ‘n literêre, sosiologiese, psigoanalitiese en filosofiese ontleding. In die laaste hoofstuk, bespreek ek dit wat hierdie verskillende perspektiewe in gemeen het en verwerk dit deur die konsep van ‘n tersiêre narcissisme, ‘n meganisme van beskerming en selfherskepping want nietemin ook sy eie gevaar inhou, soos dit onthul word in die verhaal van Narcissus.
RESUME: Jack-Alain Léger qui s’est donné la mort le 17 juillet 2013 à l’âge de 66 ans laisse derrière lui une oeuvre considérable qui n’a pas - même partiellement - fait l’objet d’études. Bien des articles ont été écrits sur l’auteur même mais aucun sur ses romans. Léger était surtout connu pour sa multitude de pseudonymes, sa tendance maniaco-dépressive, ses conflits avec tous ses éditeurs, son homosexualité, les controverses liées au pseudonyme de Paul Smaïl ou à son islamophobie, sa haine de son géniteur et d’un frère putatif mort avant sa naissance mais aussi pour son talent littéraire, son érudition, son esprit brillant et provocateur. Au-delà de ces attributs se dissimule un écrivain dont l’oeuvre qui paraît au premier abord incohérente reflète une réflexion profonde sur l’esthétique, sur l’essence et les finalités de l’art. Si l’art de Léger touche au domaine de l’esthétisme, il se veut aussi subversif et s’oppose à une société qui restreint l’imagination et les potentialités de chacun en imposant une uniformisation de l’identité. Léger illustre ainsi dans toute son oeuvre la séparation et l’aliénation du moi par le motif de l’enfant mort soulignant son refus de naître à un moi aliéné. Perdu dans l’ambiguïté d’une image qui n’a pas été capturée par le social, Léger erre dans le jeu infini des miroirs tel Narcisse qui cherche un idéal de soi et de beauté dans l’eau du lac où il se mire. Cette recherche multidisciplinaire explore l’intégralité de l’oeuvre de cet auteur à la lumière de la notion du narcissisme et des multiples reflets que celui-ci englobe. La force narcissique en tant que ferment du travail de création de Léger sera mise en valeur par l’interprétation littéraire, sociologique, psychanalytique et philosophique. Au chapitre final, je relèverai ce que ces différentes perspectives analytiques ont soulevé de commun et synthétiserai cela par le concept du narcissisme tertiaire, un mécanisme de protection et de recréation de soi qui n’est cependant pas sans danger comme nous le révèle le conte de Narcisse.
