Abstract:
Mary Douglas’s masterpiece Purity and Danger holds a troubled place in the social sciences and humanities. Both classic and cast out, the book’s analysis cannot be ignored. In fact, Douglas’s thesis, “Dirt is matter out of place,” can help explain the fate of the very book that made it famous. Purity and Danger presents a probing cultural analysis. Douglas argued that social systems should be understood by what they expel but also that the true power of dirt lies in the acts of cleansing. Cultural upheaval, decolonization, and war together appeared to render Douglas’s interest in social stability naive, however, and Purity and Danger languished following its publication in 1966. Today’s politics of purity, from white nationalism to rule by imprisonment, makes Purity and Danger more necessary than ever. The tension between the search for human universals and the social and historical particularism at its heart continues to haunt social inquiry today.

Abstract:
The Romani people have, since their arrival in Europe during the turn of the last millennia, been the subject of stigmatization and hatred. Despite efforts to end discrimination against the Romani population, they remain one of the most stigmatized groups throughout Europe. Media has often been blamed for presenting and reproducing stereotypes concerning the Romani people consequently further cementing preconceived notions about the group. Numerous researchers have studied how these stereotypes are manifested as well as the underlying reasons behind their existence in both Swedish and international ether and printed media published in the last few decades. In contrast to prior research, this study investigates how the Romani people have been portrayed and the reasons behind these portrayals during a more extensive historical period than done prior. Using a traditional approach to content-analysis, selected months and years between 1914-2013 are examined in two of the largest newspapers in Sweden. The results are then analyzed using postcolonial theory and Mary Douglas´ theory presented in the influential work Purity and Danger. In short, our analysis indicates that stereotypical representations of the Romani population, as well as various societal strategies for dealing with the group, are found throughout the examined period. The representations and strategies presented pre-world war II could, undoubtedly, be considered brutal and inhumane, while the representations and societal strategies found post-world war II could be regarded as less hostile and more benevolent whilst still at times stereotypical and oppressive. Despite certain positive changes regarding the representation of the Romani people and more humane suggested strategies for dealing with the group, the interests of the Romani people nevertheless remain secondary to the interest of the ruling elite, who above all aim to maintain power and establish order in society. Our ambition with this research is to contribute to a more extensive understanding of how the Romani people have been portrayed historically. In addition, we hope that the use of, in the subject area, new theoretical framework can contribute to new insights regarding the political elite and media´s influence on shaping the general population´s perception of ethnic minorities in society.

Abstract:
Magister Theologiae - MTh
The Bible, a treasure of all Christian churches, contains the irreplaceable primary documents of the Christian faith. The Bible is also a collection of ancient documents, written in strange and even exotic languages of other ages and cultures. Much in the Bible is foreign to urbanized Western civilization and requires exploration. The Bible is also the major source of information about the history of Israel in pre-Christian times and the origins of the Christian faith and the Christian Church. Under all these aspects the Bible has been the source of information and doctrine, of faith and hope. lts interpretation has also been a battleground, for men's (sic.) hopes and most deeply held convictions are buttressed from the Bible, differences as to what the Bible says or how to read it provoke violent debate (Krentz 1975: 1).

Resumo: Mary Douglas realizou sua pesquisa de campo na região do Kasai, no Congo Belga, no final da década de 1940 e começo da década de 1950. Nos anos seguintes, dedicou-se à teoria africanista e logrou inserir-se na academia britânica de meados do século passado. A antropóloga já indicava, neste período, algumas das questões que desenvolveria posteriormente, a partir da publicação de seu livro mais conhecido, Pureza e Perigo, de 1966. Se a teoria produzida depois de sua fase africanista fez com que Douglas se tornasse célebre mesmo fora dos círculos antropológicos britânicos, pouco foi estudado acerca da maneira como a antropóloga utilizou seus dados etnográficos na constituição de suas formulações sobre a relação entre os rituais simbólicos de pertencimento e exclusão, e a constituição das relações sociais. Um estudo das regras e dos constrangimentos do campo africanista, bem como das redes de sociabilidade de seus grupos hegemônicos, permite que se possa articular a experiência de Mary Douglas em suas interlocuções teóricas, com a trajetória de sua carreira antropológica. As continuidades de sua obra, entre seu trabalho etnográfico e suas preocupações desenvolvidas a partir de Pureza e Perigo, bem como as escolhas e os caminhos percorridos, possibilitam analisar, sob uma outra luz, a construção de seus argumentos.
Abstract: Mary Douglas conducted her fieldwork research in the Kasai region, in the Belgian Congo, at the end of the 1940's and the beginning of the 1950's. In the following years, she devoted her work to africanist theory and managed to be a part of the British academic field of that period. Then, the anthropologist had already approached some of the matters she would later develop, with the publication of her most known book, Purity and Danger, of 1966. If the theory constructed after her africanist period made Douglas renowned even outside the British anthropological circles, very little was studied about the way the anthropologist made use of her ethnographic data in the construction of her analysis on the relationship between the symbolic rituals of belonging and exclusion, and the constitution of social relations. A study of the rules and constraints of the africanist field, as well as of the sociability networks of its hegemonic groups, allows the articulation of Mary Douglas's experience in her theoretic dialogues, with the trajectory of her anthropological career. The continuities of her work, between her ethnographic research and the concerns she developed after Purity and Danger, as well as the choices made and the paths traveled, allow to cast a different light upon the construction of her arguments.

Abstract:
This thesis critiques aspects of the work of Mary Douglas and Victor Turner. It develops previous criticisms and pursues them in greater depth, questioning the degree to which these respective models are universal. It is a mainly anthropological study of the relationship between a university and the largest evangelical group operative at that university. It draws upon participant observation fieldwork with Oxford Inter-Collegiate Christian Union, Aberdeen University Christian Union and Navigators Studenten Leiden. This thesis examines the degree of liminality at each university and compares this to the degree of liminality and communitas observed in the university's evangelical group, Firstly it criticises Turner's understanding of liminality and communitas. It argues that liminality can, in fact, be highly structured and that communitas is not necessarily an absence or near-absence of structure. It suggests that the more liminal a situation is the more communitas there will be on one level but the more structure there will be on another. In making this argument, the thesis argues that university is a Rite of Passage and liminal phase. It demonstrates that the more liminal the university, the more structured the evangelical group will be, the tighter the group's boundaries will be and the more differentiated the group will be. But, at the same time, the mores structured the evangelical groups are, the greater communitas it finds in their ritual activity. Oxford is found to be the most liminal university and Leiden the least. Thus it criticises the underlying assumptions of Douglas' "Grid/Group" Model as well as Turner's. In order to examine the degree of structure and differentiation in the group, the thesis looks at members' use of language, their religious beliefs, life-style beliefs, the nature of their meetings, the significance of conversation and the clothes they wear. In order to assess the degree of communitas at the meetings, the thesis examines the degree of communitas caused by prayers, hymns, public speakers, Bible Studies and Testimony.

Abstract:
Personal archives are a largely neglected subject in archival theory. Among the consequences of this is the absenceof any general established or formalized practices when it comes to arrangement and description. Thisstudy opposes the notion that an archival institution without formal systems of arrangement and description doesnot order and describe archives in accordance with a general conceptual framework of a correct order. Supportingitself on the anthropological theory of Mary Douglas on dirt and cleanliness, it studies the implicit notions oforder that can be found in the archival descriptions of the personal archives kept by the Swedish national archives.Several patterns where revealed by the study: among them the primacy of quantity stood out. The vaguesystem of categories based on Martin Grass description model appears only to be employed loyally where quantitiesof the particular categories are such that they constitute complete volumes, which seem to be the cardinaljustifier of categorical division within the archive. The model itself is rarely applied with orthodoxy, and itsroughness often means that the categories engage in “border clashes” over which documents belong in whichcategory. Though these are often caused and generally determined by quantities, they also reveal an internalhierarchy of relations between specific types of records and categories. Furthermore, certain categories appearsmore stable than others, and when Grass system collapses, it reveals how certain of them – based on a principleof pertinence or theme – habitually fall out of use whereas categories defined by document types appear to remainfar more stable even in smaller archives and archives with low degree of differentiation.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Richard R. Gaillardetz
This dissertation analyzes the various images of the body in the metaphor of the church as a body, or the body of Christ, in modern Catholic ecclesiology in order to reimagine the corporeal metaphor for postconciliar ecclesiology. The metaphor of the church as a body has a vertical dimension expressing the relationship between Christ and the church and a horizontal dimension expressing the relationships among Christians. In its vertical dimension, “body” has been understood as ‘self’ and/or as ‘spouse.’ In its horizontal dimension, the body has been understood as a living organism and/or as an ordered society. In the magisterial tradition especially, the body is described as a well-bounded and hierarchically ordered organism, in which members are united under a head and share in one common life, and which manifests the person to the world. The metaphor of the church as a body, then, has most often been used to express and justify papal authority and primacy and the exclusion of non-Catholics from the body of Christ, and to posit the Catholic Church as the ongoing manifestation of Christ’s presence and authority. This dissertation utilizes the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty to challenge these notions of the body, showing instead that the body is ‘intercorporeal’—interwoven with other bodies, united by meaningful action, and having flexible boundaries. The body is the necessary foundation of existence in the world, but can also inhibit personal presence as well. In light of Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology, this dissertation argues for a vision of the church as an intercorporeal body—a missionary, dialogical, and decentralized body that is capable of mediating, but also inhibiting, the presence of Christ to the world

Abstract:
Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att analysera fyra vampyrfilmer med Mary Douglas teori för att se hur föreställningar om renhet, orenhet och anomalier framställs samt ifall dessa föreställningar har förändrats i de fyra utvalda filmerna mellan 1979-2016. Med kritisk diskursanalys som metod har filmerna Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), The Lost Boys (1987), Twilight (2008) samt Daylight's end (2016) analyserats genom en tematisering av vampyrers egenskaper där en jämförelse dem emellan gjorts. Uppsatsens resultat visar att vampyrer som befinner sig i ett tillstånd mellan liv och död anses vara anomalier, vilka har hanterats på olika sätt av respektive samhällen. Vissa vampyrer har ett mer moraliskt förhållningssätt gentemot människor då de valt bort att äta människoblod och blir därför mer accepterade av samhället, medan andra vampyrer har ett omoraliskt beteende, vilket gör att de då elimineras. Det som anses orent i ett samhälle har blivit vardagligt i ett annat och ju mer mänskliga egenskaper vampyrerna har desto mer accepterade är de av samhället.

Abstract:
”The myth of Palme- a textual analysis of the documentary Palme and its description of the social memory of Olof Palme as a norm or anomaly” by Emma Svanström aims to analyze how the directors of the documentary Palme choose to present Olof Palme to the future generations. Also the goal is to find out if their version presents Palme as a person who followed the norms or was divergent. To this purpose the thesis use textual analysis combined with a quantitative method in search of which persons the directors give the right to form the myth of Palme and which keywords they use to do describe him. To view the film as a social memory in the transformation to a myth the thesis use Jan Assmans theory of social memory and to find out if the documentary describes Palme as following the norms or divergent it uses Mary Douglas theory of anomaly. The results show that it is mainly the narrator and Olof Palme that gets to form the myth of him but also his family, friends, fellow employees and other persons that met him or was affected by his actions. Palme is discribed as special, intelligent, interested in social politics and able to act as he saw fit even if it was against the norms. He is above all described as a complex person with many and sometimes contradicting sides. Some of these actions and characteristics’ are viewed as following the norms while others are shown as anomalies.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to contribute to the research about the role of rituals in the construction of social identity of women in Newar society. By studying the Kumari tradition, I explore how religious traditions play a role in maintaining social values and gender roles. Following this, I analyze how this role contributes to the continuation of the practice in the face of calls for its abolition in recent years. Of central importance is the controversy surrounding the Kumari tradition fueled by criticism from the UN and western media alleging that the religious practice of Kumari worship is a violation of children’s rights. This study also discusses changes in the Kumari tradition between 1996-2008, resulting in greater acknowledgement of the child’s social needs, both during and after her rule. The issue of the ‘anomalous’ position of former Kumari and how Nepalese society attempts to deal with it is also brought to light.

Abstract:
Predictive models are used in an attempt to anticipate future transitions, mitigate losses, and maximize economic gains. In today’s market, companies look for high reliability and quality of products due to great market competition. Hence warranty data is of considerable interest to companies. Warranty shows the ability of a system or component to perform its functions within a given customer usage. Many statistical and data mining methods are available to predict the warranty data. This study focuses on analyzing the predictive efficiency of the T-method and Cobb-Douglas production function on warranty data by comparing their prediction capability. The T-method, developed by Genichi Taguchi, is founded upon the fundamentals of the Taguchi System of Quality Engineering which is used to calculate an overall prediction based on signal-to-noise ratio. Using this method, the required parameters are calculated to obtain an overall estimate of the true value of the output for each signal member. The Cobb-Douglas production function is then applied on the same dataset. In economics, the Cobb-Douglas functional form of production function is widely used to represent the relationship of the output to inputs. The strength of the relationship is then assessed using the R-squared and adjusted R-squared values.

Institutional factors, including efficiency of the contract relations, level of tax burden, quality of corporate institutes have huge impact on growth of corporations. The purpose of this work – to reveal factors of growth of the Russian corporations and to construct models of the Russian corporations’ growth in a branch section. In research the assessment influence of tax loading on efficiency of the contract relations and growth of the Russian corporations is carried out. The analysis of growth of the Russian corporations in various branches (oil and gas, metallurgy, power industry) is carried out and models of their growth taking into account such factors, as tax burden, level of dividend payments and level of compensation of the administrative personnel are constructed. The degree of tax burden to efficiency improvement of contractual relations in Russian corporations was analyzed. The growth rate of sales revenue was taken as an indicator of the corporation efficiency. The factors influencing the growth rate of sales revenue were analyzed, the basis for the analysis was Cobb-Douglas production function with some clarifications.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper provides a workflow to automate the application of multi-segment Arps decline model to forecast production in unconventional reservoirs. Due to significant activity in the shale plays, a single reservoir engineer may be tasked with managing hundreds of wells. In such cases, production forecasting using a multi-segment Arps model for all individual wells can be a challenging and time-consuming process. Although popular industry software provide some relief, each approach has its individual limitations. We present a workflow to automate the application of multi-segmented Arps decline model for easier and more accurate production forecasting using suitable statistical and machine learning methods. We start by removing outliers from our rate normalized pressure (RNP) data using angle-based outlier detection (ABOD) technique. This technique helps us clean our production data objectively to improve production forecasting and rate transient analysis (RTA). Next, we correct the non-monotonic behavior of material balance time (MBT) and smooth the RNP data using a constrained generalized additive model. We follow it by using the Ramer–Douglas–Peucker (RDP) algorithm as a change-point detection technique to automate the flow regime identification process. Finally, we calculate a b-value for each identified flow regime and forecast future production. We demonstrate the complete workflow using a field example from shale play. The presented workflow effectively and efficiently automates the rate transient analysis work and production forecasting using multi-segment Arps decline model. This results in more accurate production forecasts and greatly enhanced work productivity. The workflow presented, based on selected algorithms from statistics and machine-learning, automates multi-segment Arp’s decline curve analysis, and it can be used to forecast production for a large number of unconventional wells in a simple and time efficient manner.

Abstract:
The American Helicopter Museum and Education Center opened to the public at the Brandywine Airport on October 18, 1996. This milestone was the realization of a vision adopted at a luncheon meeting hosted by the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Helicopter Society on July 30, 1993. Chapter leaders had previously brainstormed potential ideas for commemorating the upcoming 50th Anniversary of the American Helicopter Society in 1994, but recognized the need to engage a broader constituency to do something significant. With the goal of establishing a 50th Anniversary Committee, a luncheon was scheduled at Boeing Helicopters in Ridley Park, PA. Participants included the author, several Chapter officers and an invitation list that included Philadelphia area rotary-wing business leaders, industry pioneers and influencers. Attendees at that first meeting included Lee Douglas, Frank Duke, Vincent Genovese, Euan Hooper, Warren Jacobs, Wes Moore, Ren Pierpoint, John Schneider, George Townson, Edward B. Wilford III and Peter Wright, Sr. After debating multiple options for the commemoration, the idea of a museum was embraced when Peter Wright, then President of Keystone Helicopters, offered to donate several vintage helicopters if a museum was established. Two weeks later, the nascent 50th Anniversary Committee met again with a mission to: “Lay the foundation for a permanent rotary-wing restoration, conservation and exhibition facility in the Delaware Valley.” Referencing the documented minutes of the aforementioned meeting and that of subsequent meetings of the 50th Anniversary Committee, other documents and the recollections of the author, this paper will trace the formative years of the museum from July 1993 to October 1996. It will address the many challenges of founding an aviation museum including incorporation, location identification, building the collection and creating the exhibits and programs. It will recall the people involved and their significant contributions. This paper is particularly compelling to publish this year, recognizing the 25th anniversary of the American Helicopter Museum and Education Center on 18 October 2021.

Abstract:
Following the successful development of aircraft jet engines during World War II (WWII), the United States Navy began exploring the advantages of gas turbine engines for ship and boat propulsion. Early development soon focused on aircraft derivative (aero derivative) gas turbines for use in the United States Navy (USN) Fleet rather than engines developed specifically for marine and industrial applications due to poor results from a few of the early marine and industrial developments. Some of the new commercial jet engine powered aircraft that had emerged at the time were the Boeing 707 and the Douglas DC-8. It was from these early aircraft engine successes (both commercial and military) that engine cores such as the JT4-FT4 and others became available for USN ship and boat programs. The task of adapting the jet engine to the marine environment turned out to be a substantial task because USN ships were operated in a completely different environment than that of aircraft which caused different forms of turbine corrosion than that seen in aircraft jet engines. Furthermore, shipboard engines were expected to perform tens of thousands of hours before overhaul compared with a few thousand hours mean time between overhaul usually experienced in aircraft applications. To address the concerns of shipboard applications, standards were created for marine gas turbine shipboard qualification and installation. One of those standards was the development of a USN Standard Day for gas turbines. This paper addresses the topic of a Navy Standard Day as it relates to the introduction of marine gas turbines into the United States Navy Fleet and why it differs from other rating approaches. Lastly, this paper will address examples of issues encountered with early requirements and whether current requirements for the Navy Standard Day should be changed. Concerning other rating approaches, the paper will also address the issue of using an International Organization for Standardization, that is, an International Standard Day. It is important to address an ISO STD DAY because many original equipment manufacturers and commercial operators prefer to rate their aero derivative gas turbines based on an ISO STD DAY with no losses. The argument is that the ISO approach fully utilizes the power capability of the engine. This paper will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the ISO STD DAY approach and how the USN STD DAY approach has benefitted the USN. For the future, with the advance of engine controllers and electronics, utilizing some of the features of an ISO STD DAY approach may be possible while maintaining the advantages of the USN STD DAY.

Full text
Abstract:
The current study involves an experimental investigation of the decomposition of various biomass feedstocks and their conversion to gaseous fuels such as hydrogen. The steam gasification process resulted in higher levels of H2 and CO for various CO2 input ratios. With increasing rates of CO2 introduced into the feed stream, enhanced char conversion and increased CO levels were observed. While CH4 evolution was present throughout the gasification process at consistently low concentrations, H2 evolution was at significantly higher levels though it was detected only at elevated gasification temperatures: above 500°C for the herbaceous and non-wood samples and above 650°C for the wood biomass fuels studied. The biomass feedstocks were studied through the use of Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Gas Chromatography, Calorimetry, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS), and the Scanning Electron Microscope with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (SEM/EDX). The chemical composition of the various biomass fuels and their combustion and gasification ash residues, in addition to the mass decay and gaseous evolution behavior were investigated as a function of temperature. The thermal treatment of biomass fuels involves pyrolysis and gasification with combustion occurring at the higher temperatures. In the gasification environment, when combustion processes are occurring, gaseous components evolve from the fuel and react with oxygen either released from the biomass structure itself, or from the injected steam and CO2. These high temperature reactions are responsible for the enhanced burnout of the carbon (charcoal) structure that is produced during the low temperature pyrolytic breakdown of the biomass. Since the ligno-cellulosic biomass component typically found in U.S. MSW is greater than 50%, techniques to enhance the thermal treatment of biomass feedstocks can also aid in the processing of MSW. Gas evolution as a function of temperature was monitored for H2, CH4, CO2 and CO for several biomass fuels that included woods, grasses and other ligno-cellulosic samples. These included oak, sugar maple, poplar, spruce, white pine, Douglas fir, alfalfa, cordgrass, beachgrass, maple bark, pine needles, blue noble fir needles, pecan shells, almond shells, walnut shells, wheat straw, and green olive pit. The TGA mass decay curves showed similar behavior for the woods, grasses and agricultural residues, where most of the mass loss occurred before 500°C. Most feedstocks exhibited 2 constant mass steps though several exhibited a third with completed mass loss by 900°–1000°C. Two distinct mass decay regimes were found to correlate well with two distinct gas evolution regimes exhibited in the curves for CO, H2 and CH4. Most of the mass loss occurred during pyrolysis, with the remaining degradation to ash or char occurring in the high temperature gasification regime. One characteristic of biomass samples is the highly variable nature of the mineral composition. SEM/EDX analyses indicated high levels of potassium, magnesium and phosphorus in the ash residue. The devitrification and embrittlement of the quartz furnace and balance rods were attributed to the high mineral content of many of the biomass feedstocks, with the high alkaline oxide levels of the grasses being particularly destructive. While mineral content may exert a beneficial effect through enhanced char reactivity with the possibility for a more thorough processing of the feedstock, the potential for corrosion and slagging would necessitate the judicious selection and possible pretreatment of biomass fuels. A major advantage of thermal treatment through gasification prior to combustion is the ability to remove many of the corrosive volatiles and ash elements such as potassium, sodium and chlorine to avert damage to the process equipment.

Abstract:
Flaxseed meal is rich in water-soluble gums and, as such, can improve texture in gluten-free products. Flaxseed bioactive-antioxidant peptides, linusorbs (LOs, a.k.a. cyclolinopeptides), are a class of molecules that may contribute health-promoting effects. The effects of dough preparation, baking, and storage on flaxseed-derived LOs stability in doughs and baked products are unknown. Gluten-free (GF) bread dough and bread were prepared with flaxseed meal and the LO content was determined in the flaxseed meal, bread flour containing the flaxseed meal, bread dough, and bread. The LO content during storage (0, 1, 2, and 4 weeks) at different temperatures (−18 °C, 4 °C, and 22−23 °C) was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). The content of oxidized LOs like [1–9-NαC],[1(Rs,Ss)-MetO]-linusorb B2 (LO14) were substantially constant in flaxseed meal and flour produced from flaxseed meal under all conditions for up to four weeks. However, during GF-bread production LOs decreased. Due to microbial contamination dough could not be stored at either 4 or 21°C, and bread could only be stored for one week at 21°C. Up to four weeks of storage was possible for bread and dough at −18 °C and bread at 4 °C without the loss of LOs. The LOs change during processing and storage. The concentration of reduced LOs in flour and meal were much higher than measured in dough and bread. There was not a corresponding increase in oxidized LOs. The LOs in flaxseed meal-fortified bread were stable for products stored at low temperatures to preserve LOs. This study is the first of the impact of baking conditions on LOs content and quality.

Abstract:
Fluid flows in biological systems are typically complex, due to factors such as non-Newtonian behavior of biochemical fluids and complex geometry, as well as the interaction of muscles and fluid. With the advent of modern computational technology, these problems are gradually resolved. The present research illustrates two such examples. Grid generation is essential for conducting numerical simulation of fluid flow. In the present research, a new grid generation technique is developed and implemented into a flow solver. This technique enables one to create a grid for complex geometry using only a single computational zone. The flow field can therefore be analyzed without iteration between zones. The numerical scheme developed for solving the grid generation equations is an extension of the traditional three-dimensional Douglass-Gunn Alternating-Direction Implicit (ADI) scheme. A unique feature of the demonstrated grid generation scheme is the concept of multi-box computational domains. In this scheme, the physical domain is mapped onto a multi-box geometry in the computational space, rather than a single box as the traditional methods do. Therefore, the numerical scheme is adjusted accordingly. Flow simulations were performed using the software INS3D, which employs the method of artificial compressibility. This method transforms the Navier-Stokes equations into a system of hyperbolic-parabolic equations, and then marches along the pseudo-time axis until the velocity field becomes divergence-free. Two biological flow problems were analyzed using the aforementioned method. The flow field in an arterial graft as well as in the Left atrium (LA) of the human heart was studied. The effect of Reynolds number and flow-division ratio is examined in the graft problem. The Reynolds number effect is demonstrated via the presence of a helical flow structure and the overall pressure drop. The flow-division ratio alters the flow field in a way that moves the stagnation points. The simulated flow field closely resembles that observed clinically. The steady-state simulation of the flow field in the left atrium of the human heart provided information about the long-term performance of the heart chamber. The simulation demonstrates the existence of low wall shear region, which is therefore susceptible to blood clot formation. This observation also agrees with the clinical findings. In summary, the present research demonstrates application of CFD techniques in the analysis of flow in a biological system. A new grid generation technique is realized, and proved to be useful in simulating these flows. The flow simulation results provide insights into the system, and may be useful for clinical reference.

Full text
Abstract:
This artistic, practice-led PhD thesis is concerned with the potentials of polyvocality and interactive digital narrative. The practical project, Saints of Paradox, is constructed as a printed picture book that can be experienced through an Augmented Reality [AR] platform. The fictional story entails a woman who mourns the disappearance of her lover in the 1964 Brazilian coup d’état and lives for 40 years in a room of accumulated memories. IIn each illustration, the user can select three buttons on the tablet device that activates a different version of the story. Three narrators (saints) present interconnected but diverging interpretations of the events shaped by their distinct theological positions. The respective values of compassion, orthodoxy, and pragmatic realism distort details of imagery, sound, movement, and meaning. AR animated vignettes, each backed by a uniquely composed cinematic soundscape, allow characters to populate the luxuriously illustrated world. Candles flicker and burn, snakes curl through breathing flowerbeds, and rooms furnished with the contents of accumulated memories pulsate with mystery. The scanned image reviews an interactive parallax that produces a sense of three-dimensional space, functioning as a technical and conceptual component. Theoretically, the story navigates relationships between the real and the imagined and refers to magical real binary modes of textual representation (Flores, 1955, Champi, 1980; Slemon, 1988, 1995; Spindler, 1993; Zamora and Faris; 1995; Bowers, 2004). Here, meaning negotiates an unreliable, sometimes paradoxical pathway between rational and irrational accounting and polyvocal narration. The dynamics between the book and the AR environments produce a sense of mixed reality (actual and virtual). The narrative experience resides primarily in an unstable virtual world, and the printed book functions as an enigmatic unoccupied vessel. Because of this, we encounter a sense of ontological reversal where the ‘virtual’ answers the ambiguities presented by the ‘real’ (the book). In the work, religious syncretism operates as a reference to Brazilian culture and an artistic device used to communicate a negotiation of different voices and points of view. The strange and somehow congruous forms of European, African, and indigenous influences merge to form the photomontage world of the novel. Fragments of imagery may be considered semiotic markers of cultural and ideological miscegenation and assembled into an ambiguous ‘new real’ state of being that suggests syncretic completeness. Methodologically, the project emanates from a post-positivist, artistic research paradigm (Klein, 2010). It is supported by a heuristic approach (Douglass and Moustakas, 1985) to the discovery and refinement of ideas through indwelling and explicitness. Thus, the research draws upon tacit and explicit knowledge in developing a fictional narrative, structure, and stylistic treatments. A series of research methods were employed to assess the communicative potential of the work. Collaboration with other practitioners enabled high expertise levels and provided an informed platform of exchange and idea progression.
