Full textAbstract:
Nonostante sia molto diffusa la convinzione che tradurre significhi solamente dire una cosa in un’altra lingua, chi si occupa di traduzione sa benissimo che non è così. Tradurre è un processo complicato, che non si attua semplicemente consultando un dizionario. Chi non è del mestiere, non sa che tra lingua e cultura esiste un legame indissolubile e che tradurre una lingua significa soprattutto tradurre una cultura. Una competenza non semplice e non scontata.
Quando si parla di traduzione, una delle questioni più dibattute è quella della possibilità e dell'impossibilità della traduzione e ancora oggi ci si chiede se sia possibile o meno trasferire fedelmente un messaggio espresso con i segni linguistici di una data lingua e cultura ad un altro sistema linguistico usato in un'altra comunità. Le due posizioni in merito sono intraducibilità e traducibilità e sono quelle che andrò ad analizzare nell’elaborato. L’analisi sarà svolta in tre livelli – empirico, linguistico e letterario – presentando in ogni capitolo prima le tesi a sostegno dell’intraducibilità e poi confutandole con tesi a sostegno della traducibilità.

Dans cette thèse une contribution a été faite sur l’étude et l’amélioration des performances de la génératrice synchrone (GS). C’est ainsi qu’une nouvelle structure d’excitation de la GS, basée sur l’utilisation d’une machine à aimants permanents combinée avec un pont redresseur à thyristors, a été proposée en vue d’alimenter directement l’inducteur de celle-ci. Afin de tirer un grand avantage de cette structure d’excitation dont la dynamique est par nature plus rapide que celle des structures classiques, deux lois de commande ont été mise en place : la commande prédictive et la commande H∞ et elles ont fourni des résultats assez similaires et très satisfaisants en simulation. Pour la validation expérimentale, une implantation en temps réel via une interface Dspace, nous a permis de conclure quant à la validité de notre approche. Une comparaison avec une structure d’excitation industrielle a été faite afin d’évaluer aussi bien quantitativement que qualitativement l’apport effectif de ce travail. Ainsi en termes de chutes/dépassement de tension, de temps de réponse et de taux de distorsion des signaux de sortie, la nouvelle approche combinée à une loi de commande moderne apporte une meilleure réponse par rapport aux structures classiques<br>The works presented in this dissertation are focussed on the study and the performances improvement of the synchronous generator. Then, a new excitation structure is proposed to directly feed the SG’s main armature. This exciter is based on a permanent magnet generator and thyristors bridge. In order to take real advantage of the new excitation structure, two modern and efficient control laws have been used: the predictive control and H∞ control. Both provide similar and very satisfactory results in simulation. Thanks to the real time implementation using the Dspace 1104, the effectiveness and the high performances of the new excitation approach have been proved. At the same time, an already used industrial excitation structure has been involved in the comparative study in order to quantify and qualify the real advantage of the new approach. Then, as regards voltage overshoots and drops, the time response and the output signal total harmonic distortion, the new excitation approach combined with modern control law gives better satisfaction than classical one

Full textAbstract:
« Le passé est un pays étranger : ils font les choses différemment là-bas » L.P. Hartly Nous avons souhaité nous pencher sur l’histoire des premiers moulins à vent. Plusieurs raisons à cela : une grande partie de l’histoire du moulin à vent demeure obscure et entre autres ; deux choses sont mal connues : la première concerne la date où le moulin à vent à axe vertical apparu pour la première fois en Iran (Perse antique), et la deuxième son évolution, les différents types de cette invention. Dernière raison justifiant la nécessité de notre recherche : il n’y a pas encore d’hypothèse claire permettant d’établir un lien entre les différents types des moulins a vent a axe vertical et présentant une chronologie datée et documentée de l’évolution des types différents, en particulier le moulin à vent à axe vertical iranien. Les sources d’énergie comme le vent – et le moulin à vent sont considérées comme une technologie médiatrice entre le vent et la société humaine. R. J. Forbes , l’historien de la technologie allemand, défendait l’idée que les « moteurs primaires » étaient la « clé de voûte de la technologie ». En utilisant comme critère ces « moteurs primaires », il distingue cinq périodes dans l’histoire de la technologie de l’humanité : l’ère de l’utilisation du muscle d’humain, l’ère de l’utilisation du muscle animal, l’ère de l’énergie fournie par l’eau, l’ère de l’énergie créée par la vapeur et l’ère de l’énergie atomique. Dans sa classification, Forbes n’a pas inclus l’ère de l’énergie du vent ; nous verrons que cette ère est le chaînon manquant entre l’ère de l’énergie hydraulique et l’ère de l’énergie fournie par la vapeur. Avec l’utilisation de l’énergie éolienne, cette ère devient par ailleurs la plus longue de l’histoire de l’utilisation des énergies. Parmi les technologies connues en matière de production d’énergie dans l’Antiquité figure la technologie du moulin à vent, qui a des liens directs avec les deux ères longues et importantes en matière d’utilisation de l’énergie : l’ère de l’énergie hydraulique et l’ère de l’énergie fournie par la vapeur. Malgré tout ce que l’on sait sur l’histoire du moulin à vent européen, l’origine et la diffusion de cette invention technique ne sont pas claires. Maurice Daumas écrit que : « L’origine et la diffusion du moulin à vent posent encore aux historiens de nombreux problèmes et de non moins nombreuses énigmes ». Il manque une chronologie des divers types de moulins à vent dans les diverses civilisations ; par conséquent, une théorie présentant cette diversité architecturale et technique dans le plateau d’Iran fait défaut encore aujourd’hui. La diffusion du moulin à vent dans le monde antique, y a compris l’Iran, pose également question. Une partie importante de cette thèse sera donc consacrée à répondre à ces questions, particulièrement en Iran, dans le but d’éclaircir autant que possible l’origine et la diffusion de cette invention architecturale et technique<br>"The past is a foreign country: they do things differently over there"L.P. Hartly We wanted to look at the history of the first windmills. There are several reasons for this: much of the history of the windmill remains obscure and among others; two things are poorly known: the first relates to the date when the vertical axis windmill appeared for the first time in Iran (ancient Persia), and the second its evolution, the different types of this invention. The last reason for the need for our research is that there is as yet no clear hypothesis for linking the different types of vertical wind mills with a dated and documented chronology of the evolution of types in particular the Iranian vertical axis windmill. Energy sources like the wind - and the windmill are seen as a mediating technology between wind and human society. R. J. Forbes, the German historian of technology, argued that "primary engines" were the "keystone of technology". Using as a criterion these "primary engines," he distinguishes five periods in the history of human technology: the age of human muscle utilization, the era of animal muscle utilization, the era of energy provided by water, the era of energy created by the vapor and the era of atomic energy. In his classification, Forbes did not include the era of wind energy; we shall see that this era is the missing link between the era of hydraulic energy and the era of energy supplied by steam. With the use of wind energy, this era is also the longest in the history of energy use

Full textAbstract:
Earth as a fundamental aspect of the existing conditions of a site has/can/should have agency in design, both historically and today. The aim of this study is to describe the agency of earth in design as a common premise between the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture. The thesis question is "how can the earth on site have agency on the design?" Thinking of the physical earth, specifically the topography, as one of the basic structures of the existing conditions, the earth should be taken as the most important condition that both architecture and landscape architecture use and share; both disciplines have to deal with context; they both have to deal with surroundings, and then work within systems that exist around them. As landscape architecture has been incredibly important to civilization throughout history, this project looks at different ways that earth has agency in design through important periods of history, from Greeks to contemporary design. While there are many examples in which designers have worked with the existing topography, there are other cases across cultures where people have drastically altered topography. Thinking about those designs, there are many possible answers to this thesis question from using existing hills to making mountains.
This thesis explores the creation of an artificial mound, as a monument to indigenous people, in order to revive the missed parts of the earth and empower the ground. The thesis rethinks the whole ground, protecting the earth by turning excavated soil into an important earthwork. The design is not only about creating an earthwork for people, it also transforms invisible earth into a visible structure. Based on the practices of Native American mound builders, the earthwork stands for the values of diversity and equality in the US, creating a gathering space for all people made of the native earth/soil.<br>Master of Landscape Architecture<br>Earth as one of the existing materials of a site constantly affects the process of the design. This study focuses on describing and improving the use and understanding this material shared by the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture.
As landscape architecture has been incredibly important to civilization throughout history, this project looks at different ways that earth has affected design through important periods of history, from Greeks to modern design. Considering many examples in which designers have worked with the current land, there are other cases across cultures where people have changed earth. Thinking about different designs, there are many possible answers to this thesis question from using existing hills to making mountains.
This design is an artificial mound as a monument to indigenous people and it is about reviving the missed parts of the earth in order to empower the ground, rethinking the whole earth and protecting it, turning it into an important earthwork that is not only about something for people but also making it into something which in invisible situations it cannot be. Based on the tradition of Native American mound builders, part of this thesis is to affirm the value of diversity and equality in the US, through creating a gathering space for all people that pays special attention to indigenous culture.

Full textAbstract:
This study tested two hypotheses related to Woodland settlement trends and ritual development in East Central Indiana through the example of Mounds State Park in Anderson, Indiana. The first hypothesis was that earthwork enclosure complexes, such as at Anderson, were utilized as central places within a defined territory for the redistribution of resources. The second hypothesis was that a link existed between increasing social stratification in a mixed foraging and horticultural economy and a shift in the function of earthwork complexes resultant from a change in subsistence. It was determined that no conclusions could be made about the validity of these hypotheses due to incomplete data. Suggestions for obtaining relevant data and a theoretical model of earthwork function based on available data are presented.<br>Department of Anthropology

L'intitule de notre sujet de recherche est "le moulin hydraulique de fes". Le premier objectif de cette etude archeologique est de circonscrire le cadre d'un examen raisonne du moulina eau de fes. L'etude de ces moulins est basee sur une analyse separee et complete de chaque composante du moulin: mal'ab, entrepot, rwa et qassriya. Dans chacune de ces analyses nous avons defini le plus grand nombre de criteres descriptifs: absence ou presence d'une composante. Les groupes definis par des modalites communes nous ont servi de point de reference et de comparaison. Ainsi, la comparaison des moulins de fes avec ceux de la syrie a fait apparaitre une certaine ressemblance. Par contre la comparaison avec les exemples de la france et du canada s'est revelee decevante. Cette etude nous a permis aussi de saisir les caracteristiques du moulin a eau de fes: moulin a ble, moulin de takawt (tamaris) et moulin lahfif (minerai) qui sont dans leur majorite semblables, soit dans leurs plans: plans larges ou plans restreints, soit dans leurs materiaux de construction. L'organisation de l'espace est respectee, et, si par hasard un seul element manquait c'est surement faute de la declivite du terrain ou de l'exiguite de l'espace qu'il occupe<br>The subject of our research is entitled "the water mill of fes". The first objective of this archaelogical study is to confine the framework of a well-reasoned examination of the water mill of fes. The study of these mills is based on a separate and complete analysis of each component of the mill : mal'ab, ware house, rwa and qassriya. In each of these analysises we have defined a very important number of descriptive criteria : lack or presence of a component. The groups which are defined by common similarities have served us as a point of reference and comparison. This comparison of the mills of fes with those of syria has risen some resemblance whereas, the comparison with the mills of france and canada is disappointing more over this study has allowed us to assimilate the characteristics of the water mill of fes : wheat mill, takawt mill (tamarisk) and lahfif mill (ore) most of which are similar either in their large or reduced plans or in their construction materials. The organization of space is respected, and if by. .

Full textAbstract:
Per job isolation of temporary file storage in High Performance Computing (HPC) environments provide benefits in security, efficiency, and administration. HPC system administrators can use the mount_isolation Slurm task plugin to improve security by isolating temporary files where no isolation previously existed. The mount_isolation plugin also increases efficiency by removing obsolete temporary files immediately after each job terminates. This frees valuable disk space in the HPC environment to be used by other jobs. These two improvements reduce the amount of work system administrators must expend to ensure temporary files are removed in a timely manner.Previous temporary file removal solutions were removal on reboot, manual removal, or removal through a Slurm epilog script. The epilog script was the most effective of these, allowing files to be removed in a timely manner. However, HPC users can have multiple supercomputing jobs running concurrently. Temporary files generated by these concurrent or overlapping jobs are only deleted by the epilog script when all jobs run by that user on the compute node have completed. Even though the user may have only one running job, the temporary directory may still contain temporary files from many previously executed jobs, taking up valuable temporary storage on the compute node. The mount_isolation plugin isolates these temporary files on a per job basis allowing prompt removal of obsolete files regardless of job overlap.

Le choix de cette oeuvre a ete fait pour trois raisons essentielles. Nous avons apprecie sa richesse. Elle foisonne, en effet, d'observations, de personnages, de themes. La facon dont ces themes, ces personnages, ainsi que les temps et les espaces ont ete exploites, et surtout la facon dont a ete menee la narration nous a seduits. Enfin, mounif et ses textes qui constituent le corpus de notre travail sont tres connus, mais ils restent encore peu etudies alors qu'ils meritent tout notre interet. C'est a ce titre precisement que les textes de mounif nous interessent. En effet, l'etude de l'oeuvre de cet auteur nous a permis a mieux connaitre son univers romanesque. Elle nous a permis aussi de voir, de pres, ses opinions critiques et sa vision personnelle et, de ce fait, nous a donne une idee de son projet de ce qu'il appelle "le nouveau roman arabe contemporain". Dans un but de commodite pour notre analyse, ce travail a ete divise en trois chapitres. Le premier consiste a analyser les personnages, a travers leurs noms propres, mais aussi leurs roles et comportements dans le texte. Le deuxieme a ete consacre au heros: sa problematique et son destin. Bref, il s'agit de l'intellectuel et le simple citoyen.

The way how these themes, characters, times, spaces had been exploited and especially the way how the narration had been donne had fasinated us. At last, mounif and his texts wich formed our corpus are very well-known but they arent't much studied so they deserve our interest. In fact the study of this work he had permitted us not only to know better his romantic universe but to see a close his critics opinions and his personal vision also. There-fore this study had gived us an idea of mounif's plan wich he calls it "the new arabic romance contemporary". For the convenience of our analysis, this work had been divided on three chapters. The first consist of analysing the characters through their names, their roles and behaviours in the text. The second had been consecrated to the hero. It is a matter of the intellectual and the simple citizen. Concerning the third chapter, this later had leaded on to somes aspects of handwriting in mounif's work without any accentuation of the personal value of this author contemporary or the esthetic importance of his work

Full textAbstract:
<p> Applied Ecobricolage: Mountain Being(s)/ Mountain Becoming(s) is about a research process designed to bring living systems and visual arts-based inquiry to the forefront of building human connections with the more-than-human world. Utilizing an applied ecobricolage structure, the focus of this research was twofold. The project explored applied ecobricolage as a platform for interdisciplinary and multi-methodological research on how to build connections with high-altitude mountain places and their place-beings. The project was also interested in discovering to what extent, if any, the sentient wisdom of high-altitude mountain places and their place-beings could contribute towards human processes and practices for resilient planetary living. Literature grounded the possibility for more-than-human mountain connection in its recognition of Gaian sentience and mountain places as distinct time-location events. Gaia-as-teacher and mountains as forms of hallowed Earth places, gave rise to what was possible when place, place-beings, and co-researchers collaborated to see, hear, and feel the wisdom of mountains. Guidance from Earth-based methodologies and the Earth informing lenses found in ecobricolage, Gaian methodology, and terrapsychology were utilized to amplify Earth connection and communication. Materialistic approaches to contemplative photography and elicitation practices such as glance and poetic inquiry methods, catalyzed collaborative dialogue resulting in 10, 387 digital images. The steps to building mountain connection and conducting an arts-based ecobricolage were found in the imagery, musings, and meditations arising from alpine conversations. What became apparent as a result of the ecobricolage was that mountain wisdom does exist and there is much that is communicated. What became secondary to discovering the ways of connection were the sentient mountain contributions towards living processes and practices. I found the contributions lay in the direct encounter between the place, event and myself. This paper gives some insight into who I became when, I connected to mountains as it acknowledged my distinct state of mountain being. More instances of ecobricolage research design could assist Earth-based scholarship in transforming perspectives in sustainability and research methodology. Building connections with the more-than-human mountain world exemplified the ways conscious connection bestows planetary wisdom. Exploring other places as time-location events presents more avenues for future researchers. Keywords: ecobricolage, mountain, place, contemplative photography, connection</p>

Abstract TEACHING MOURNING By Julie Ann Crowder, MAE A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Art Education at Virginia Commonwealth University. Virginia Commonwealth University, 2011 Major Director: Sara Wilson McKay, Ph.D. Interim Department Chair and Associate Professor, Art Education As a researcher I sought to understand the following research questions: 1) What were the official policies and protocols that went into effect at William Fox Elementary School after the murder of the Harvey family in January of 2006? 2) What were the experiences of the staff and parents at William Fox Elementary School after the murder of the Harvey family? 3) What critiques and or suggestions do the employees and parents have of the personal or official policies or protocols, which were carried out after the murder of the Harvey family? The purpose of this research was layered. This research was necessary in order to create an accurate picture of the difficult emotional reactions of teachers attempting to teach students how to mourn while mourning themselves. Additionally, this study identified how teachers were able to continue about the business of every day life and education when they were dealing with difficult emotional issues. Participants at William Fox Elementary experienced the tragic death of the Harvey family on New Year’s Day 2006. This research illuminated possible new ways of looking at mourning, the public/media, and ways of handling these difficulties. This research could lead to the creation of new policies or protocols that would better serve the mourning populations in schools, which lose members to violence. The members of this study were William Fox Elementary employees or parents who were on present during and after the Harvey murders. Special attention was given to the IRB process. Seven participants who had a great deal of contact with Stella were selected. The PTA-funded Art Explosions teacher, Stella Harvey’s classroom teacher, the principal, the guidance counselor, a parent, the music teacher, and the librarian were all participants. Significant findings include: the importance of the speed and selection of information given to adults at the time of a tragedy, and the child information networks that form when children are not completely informed. Additionally a variety of information and thoughts are given on the subject of mourning, both public and private. Implemented and suggested healing techniques were investigated. Lastly, several uncomfortable issues that arose, such as race and rage were explored.

Full textAbstract:
My installations are propositions for an imaginary world that relies on its own internal logic, a world of believability without recognition. While the work references landscape it also emphasizes its contrivance, as it is automatically estranged in an "unnatural" gallery setting. I subvert or de-familiarize the materials and processes that I use in the service of creating a fictitious environment. My places are impossible places. They are irregular, illogical, and unstable. Our imagination can be one of most dangerous things to psychological stability as it is an inventory of all things possible, no matter how irrational or improbable. The irrational is always an option, a lingering threat. The imagination seems to hate permissions and limitations, but is nevertheless lodged within them. I want to create a sense of nonsensical logic. If all things that can be imagined are logical possibilities, I want to find the place where fantasy seems to be just barely reality. If I can't have an inherent contradiction, I'll take an apparent one.

This novel is the first-person narrative of an underachieving twenty-eight-year-old journalist who convinces himself that he can find fulfillment by climbing the Matterhorn, a dream he once shared with his older, idolized brother, who died before they could achieve it. Forsaking a marriage-minded girlfriend and fledgling sports reporting career in California, Stanley "Rabbit” Goodman decides to sell or abandon everything he owns that can't fit into a backpack, head to Europe, find his brother's former climbing partner and scale the mountain, or die trying. By blending humor with mysticism and action with introspection, Rabbit's entertaining tale poignantly transcends his personal experiences to illustrate the universal human conflicts that arise when one attempts to turn a dream into reality.

Full textAbstract:
Le Vivarais recouvre une zone de transition entre monde rhodanien et montagne, zone encore en cours de peuplement au moment où le moulin à eau se généralise. L'étude du moulin hydraulique et de son approvisionnement en meules a démontré un contraste certain entre zones de pente où de nombreuses petites unités assurent la production de farine et grandes vallées où des unités plus importantes ont été construites et ceci depuis le Moyen Age.La féodalité et l'emphytéose perpétuelle expliquent la pérennité des sites depuis le XIVe ou XVe siècle. L'exploitation directe domine en montagne tandis qu'ailleurs les moulins, plus rentables et aux mains d'une élite, sont volontiers affermés. L'indivision est fréquente partout mais s'accentue à proximité du rivage rhodanien où les parts de moulins, qu'ils soient sur terre ou sur le Rhône, sont convoitées par les marchands.Les roues horizontales et verticales coexistent depuis la période médiévale, parfois dans le même moulin. La roue horizontale est présente dans de nombreux petits moulins ruraux mais elle domine aussi sur l'Ardèche et dans les villes principales, Aubenas, Privas et Annonay et jusqu'au XIXe siècle et l'adoption du moulin à l'anglaise aux mécanismes de fonte.L'approvisionnement en meules, qui comme partout, se fait d'abord au plus près du moulin, se caractérise par un abandon progressif du basalte et des roches cristallines en faveur des grès dont l'utilisation entraîne l'exploitation de nombreuses meulières jusqu'au XIXe siècle.Les meules en silex d'Ile de France ne pénètrent que peu à l'intérieur de la province et ne sont présentes avant la construction des voies ferrées à la fin du XIXe siècle, que dans les moulins proches du rivage rhodanien.Quand l'ensemble du département s'équipe en mécanismes de fonte et en meules françaises le déclin des moulins est déjà bien engagé. L'industrie convoite leurs droits d'eau depuis plus d'un siècle, de nombreuses régions se vident, on n'y porte plus son grain à moudre et les premières minoteries industrielles apparaissent dans les villes où se concentre de plus en plus la population.Pourtant le moulin généralisé pendant plusieurs siècles structure encore durablement l'espace, par ses aménagements hydrauliques, par le chemin qui y conduit comme par les activités qu'il a induites. Il apparaît encore au milieu du XIXe siècle comme un élément incontournable de l'équipement des campagnes comme des villes, même s'il est de plus en plus marginalisé dans celles-ci<br>The Vivarais covers a transitional area between the Rhône corridor and the mountain, a zone which was still being settled at the time when the water mill was spreading.The study of the hydraulic mill and its supply of mill stones has showed an unquestionable contrast between hillsides, where many small units ensure the production of flour, and large valleys where more sizeable units have been built ever since the Middle Ages.Feudality and the perpetual long lease explain the perennial nature of the sites since 14th or 15th century. Direct use is more wide-spread in mountain areas while elsewhere the mills, more profitable in the hands of an elite, are readily leased out. Joint possession is frequent everywhere but is most prevalent near the banks of the Rhone, where shared ownership of mills, whether on land or on the Rhone, is coveted by merchants.Horizontal and vertical wheels have coexisted since the Medieval period, sometimes in the same mill.The horizontal wheel is found in many small rural mills but it also prevails in the Ardeche and in the main towns, Aubenas, Privas and Annonay , and continues until the 19th century and the adoption of the English style mill with its iron mechanisms.The basalt and crystalline mill stones, which, like everywhere else, are first supplied from the immediate environment, are progressively abandoned in favour of sandstones, which necessitates the opening and exploitation of numerous quarries, still in use until the 19th century.The flint mill stones of the Ile de France region are rarely found in the province and are only installed in mills near the Rhône until the arrival of the railway in the 19th century.By the time the whole of the department is equipped with cast iron mechanisms and French mill stones, the decline of the mills is already well under way. Industrialists have coveted the millers' water rights for over a century, many areas are becoming depopulated, people no longer bring their grist to the mill and the first industrial flour mills are appearing in large, more densely populated cities.However, the mill which was widespread for several centuries is still a determining feature in the region's landscape, through its hydraulic installations, the track leading to it, and the activities associated with it.In the middle of the 19th century, it still features as an essential element, both in urban and rural settings, although in towns it is becoming marginalized

The road to becoming an artist is paved with much confusion as we try to mold our brains into understanding abstract concepts and ideas. I became fascinated with how people perceive art, in particular, southern males that have no previous knowledge of art history or desire to learn. I contemplated long and hard about this and asked myself the question, “What if they did want to understand art?” The only difference between my brethren and I is this desire to pursue this seemingly foreign world. By creating an imaginary world and culture based on my own southern upbringing I have created a series of figurative paintings exploring various contemporary art themes in an effort to clarify my own understanding of the two worlds I am closest to and how they may or may not be related.

The study was conducted at Volvo Arvika were pins sometimes are sticky to mount during assembly of wheel loaders. This causes problems regarding ergonomic, quality, cost and productivity. Due to deviations in tolerances, defects and errors, assemblers are forced to use equipment such as sledgehammers to mount the pins. The purpose of this study is to achieve and assembly process which meets Volvo´s criteria’s. By investigation the flows for frames at Volvo Arvika, defects and errors were discovered and mapped in a fish bone diagram. The study was focused on a specific joint, the E-joint for which and p-FMEA was performed. Measurement of tolerances and surface roughness were performed together with determination of the real frequency of problematic joints. Cooling and heating methods for pins and joints were evaluated and a prototype for pre-heating was built in order to achieve a temporary expansion to facilitate the mounting. The material effect for both heating and cooling was also evaluated. The results shows several defects and errors which occurs during processing but most of them are connected to the production flow for frames and methods during assembly. The real frequency of problematic E-joints was 33% where the smaller L60 model was most problematic. Pre-heating was a success and room tempered pins could be mounted whereas today they are cooled in freezers. No metallurgical effects should occur during usage of the evaluated concepts within heating and cooling methods.<br>Studien är utförd på Volvo i Arvika där tapparna ibland går trögt under montering vid assemblering av hjullastare. Detta orsakar problem angående eregonomi, kvalitet, kostnad och produktivtet. På grund av toleransavikelser, defekter och fel, tvingas montörer att använda utrustning så som släggor för att montera tapparna. Syftet med denna studie är att uppnå en monteringsprocess som möter Volvos krav. Genom undersökningar av flödet för ramar på Volvo i Arvika upptäcktes defekter och fel som kartlades i ett fiskbensdiagram. Studien var inriktad emot E-förbandet för vilket också en p-FMEA utfördes. Mätningar av toleranser och ytjämnhetskrav utfördes tillsammans med bestämning av den verkliga frekvensen av problematiska förband. Kyl och värme-metoder utvärderades där en prototyp för förvärmning konstruerades för att åstadkomma en expansion och underlätta monteringen. Materialpåverkan för både kyl och värme-metoder utvärderas också. Resultatet påvisar flertal defekter och fel som uppstår under bearbetning men de flesta är knutna till produktionsflödet för ramar och metoder under montering. Den verkliga frekvensen av trögmonterade tappar är 33% varvid den minsta modellen, L60 är mest problematisk. Förvärmning var en succe där rumstempererade tappar kunde monteras jämfört med nuläget där de kyls i frysar. Inga metallurgiska förändringar borde uppstå under användning av de utvärderade koncepten för förvärmning och kylning.

Full textAbstract:
SPECTER MOUNTAIN is a book-length poetry collaboration between Jesse Graves and William Wright that imagines the spiritual and ecological life of an embattled landscape. The collection fuses two striking poetic visions into a cohesive and innovative new perspective on nature and the inevitable imprint of human interaction with wilderness. Readers will gain a sense of the permanent beauty of rivers and mountains, timeless images of the sublime, and the grandeur that reaches beyond human life and influence.
SPECTER MOUNTAIN is a book of voices, delivered by an impressive range of speakers, including even the mountain itself. Sometimes they speak in chorus and sometimes in isolation, out of the past and from the future, offering meditations and reflections on our changing world. These poems reveal a sensitivity to the passing of time, and to the many losses that people and places suffer and outlast together. If the mountain is a haunted landscape, it is also a place of aspiration, where traditions flourish and customs give meaning to the lives that pass there.
In his preface to the book, celebrated poet and novelist Robert Morgan says, "Jesse Graves and William Wright are two of the most exciting talents in contemporary poetry. Before they have spoken in distinct and memorable individual voices. In SPECTER MOUNTAIN they have pooled their considerable gifts and found a synergy that yields a unique work that will serve as a landmark for our time, and for many years to come."<br>https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1196/thumbnail.jpg

Le 19 décembre 1964, les cendres de Jean Moulin entrent au Panthéon, au cours d'une cérémonie grandiose digne d'un chef d'Etat. Cette thèse tente de comprendre, quand, comment, pourquoi, Jean Moulin fut choisi comme héros de la Résistance et les critiques dont il fut la cible privilégiée. L'analyse de l'ensemble des vecteurs de mémoire souligne, contrairement aux hypothèses avancées jusqu'à présent, que Jean Moulin est célébré dès 1945. 1964, 1969, 1981 et 1983, sont autant de dates clefs pour comprendre la chronologie du souvenir. Cette mise en mémoire s'effectue par des réseaux complexes, alliant personnalités locales et nationales, dépassant les clivages politiques traditionnels. Le schéma classique d'une opposition entre deux mémoires, communiste et gaulliste, est pour Jean Moulin trop réducteur. Les tentatives de déstabilisation du héros échouent. Aujourd'hui, Jean Moulin est devenu un véritable objet d'histoire<br>On december 19th 1964, Jean Moulin's ashes were brougt to the Pantheon during a great ceremony as if he were a head State and deservedly so. This master's thesis aims to grasp when, how and why Jean Moulin was chosen to be a hero of the french Resistance and the target of criticism. Unlike the hypotheses that have already bean assumed, the analysis of the vectors of memory stresses that Jean Moulin was praised as sonn as 1945. 1964, 1969, 1981, 1983, are major dates, the key to understand the chronology of remembrance. Recollecting is carried out owing to complicated networks, combining local and national personalities, past traditional political divisions. The conventional pattern of opposition between two type of memory, Communist and Gaullist, is too simplistic as far as Jean Moulin is concerned. The attempts to destabilize the hero fail. Nowadays Jean Moulin has become a genuine fact of history

Full textAbstract:
Sustainable Built Environments Senior Capstone<br>The goal of this research is to define self sufficiency for mountain communities, understand the resources that make up a mountain community, and describe how current and future mountain communities can take steps toward self sufficiency. What the report explores and finds is that most mountain communities have all the resources available to become autonomous, sustainable areas able to support human, wildlife, and environmental health. This conclusion came from an extensive literature review on the resources of mountain communities, followed by analysis of the resources held in the mountain community of Summerhaven, Arizona. A list of prescriptive steps based on Summerhaven’s current needs is discussed, giving the community a ranked order of how they can utilize their resources to full potential and become autonomous to any outside resources. While further research into other communities is needed to more effectively understand the different scope of resource issues mountain communities are facing, this report has a general view of what effects all mountain communities. No two mountain communities will be the same in their resource needs, but the analysis on Summerhaven can be repeated in all existing communities. Self sufficiency in mountain communities is entirely possible and should be explored in order to make the mountain a healthy, sustainable, and beautiful landscape to be enjoyed by people for the rest of the time that they will be occupying Earth.

This research will address how the monumental organization of Kincaid Mounds was put together through time. The measurable variability in the potential performative presentation of the mounds and structures of Kincaid will be treated as an archaeological dataset for the exploration of social change. This dataset will emphasize the topological relationships among earthworks, structures, and the ancient Native Americans living within and actively constructing the site and their society. The dynamics of change in the public presentation of these earthworks will relate to public practice and changing political strategies, a local history indicative of Kincaid’s internal social processes and political trajectory in the broader Ohio Valley and Mississippian culture.

Pecora, Jennifer. "Women Mourners, Mourning "NoBody"." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2010. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/2220.
Full textAbstract:
Historian David Bell recently suggested that scholars reconsider the impact of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815) upon modern culture, naming them the first "total war" in modern history. My thesis explores the significance of the wars specifically in the British mourning culture of the period by studying the war literature of four women writers: Anna Letitia Barbauld, Amelia Opie, Jane Austen, and Felicia Hemans. This paper further asks how these authors contributed to the development of a national consciousness studied by Georg Lukács, Benedict Anderson, and others. I argue that women had a representative experience of non-combatants' struggle to mourn war deaths occurring in relatively foreign lands and circumstances. Women writers recorded and contributed to this representative experience that aided the development of a national consciousness in its strong sense of shared anxieties and grief for soldiers. Excluded physically and experientially, women would have had an especially difficult time attempting to mourn combatant deaths while struggling to imagine the places and manners in which those deaths occurred, especially when no physical bodies came home to "testify" of their loved ones' experiences. Women writers' literary portraits of imagined women mourning those whose bodies never came home provide interesting insights into the strategies employed during the grieving process and ultimately demonstrate their contribution to a collective British consciousness based on mourning. The questions I explore in the first section of this thesis circle around the idea of women as writers and mourners: What were writers saying about war, death, and mourning? What common themes begin to appear in the women's Romantic war literature? And, perhaps most importantly, how did such mourning literature affect the growing sense of nationality coming out of this period? In the second section, I consider more precisely how these literary contributions affected mourning culture when no bodies were present for burial and advanced the development of a national consciousness that recognized the wars' "nobodies." How did women's experiences of being left behind and marginalized in the war efforts prepare them to conceptualize destructive mass deaths abroad, and, conceptualizing them, to mourn them?

Full textAbstract:
Syfte med den här avhandlingen är att empiriskt kartlägga framväxten och utvecklingen av varietéunderhållningen i Stockholm 1870-1920, för att kunna förstå både förhållandet till dess transnationella förebilder, ekonomiska dynamik, kulturella dragningskraft, samt förklara hur genren kom att uppfattas i den offentliga debatten. Med teorier hämtade från Antonio Gramsci och Pierre Bourdieu diskuteras varietéerna som ett uttryck för det sena 1800-talets samhällsförändringar och marknadskapitalistiska dynamik, som bl.a. synliggjordes i nya urbana livsstilar och mönster. Resultatet av dessa undersökningar visar hur den tyska, brittiska, amerikanska och franska varietéunderhållningen influerade den svenska motsvarigheten. Samtidigt var faktorer som de nationella och lokala ekonomiska, politiska och sociala förhållandena avgörande i skapandet av de specifika uttrycksformer varietéunderhållning fick i Stockholm. Avhandlingen visar också hur varietésalongernas sociala praktiker, genom en medveten disciplineringssträvan från såväl entreprenörer som politiker, kom att genomgå en förändringsprocess där den sociala samvaron minskade till förmån för en allt starkare fokus på föreställningarnas innehåll. Genom sina samhällsutmanande drag kom varietéunderhållningen även att fungera som plattform varifrån viktiga värden och normer förhandlades och medierades. Detta bidrog till att underhållningsformen blev en måltavla för sedlighets- och nykterhetsrörelsen. Moulin Rouge på svenska är, genom att sätta fokus på hur entreprenörer, artister, skribenter, musikkompositörer och kritiker tänkte och agerade i den framväxande offentliga urbaniteten, ett viktigt bidrag i förståelsen av hur den tidiga svenska massproducerade populärkulturen tog form i slutet av 1800-talet.<br>The purpose of this dissertation is to chart and analyze the growth and development of variety entertainment in Stockholm 1870-1920 in order to reach an understanding of its transnational models, economic dynamics, and cultural attraction, as well as to explain how this genre was understood in the public debate. With the help of theories derived from Antonio Gramsci and Pierre Bourdieu variety entertainment is discussed as an expression of the social changes and the dynamics of market capitalism that became visible in new urban life styles and patterns at the end of the 19th century. The results of this investigation show how German, British, American and French variety entertainment influenced their Swedish counterparts. At the same time factors such as national and local economics and existing political and social conditions were determinants in the creation of the specific forms of expression that variety entertainment assumed in Stockholm. The dissertation also shows how social practice in the variety halls went through a process of change due to a conscious attempt on the part of both the entrepreneurs and politicians to discipline behaviour. In this process social interaction declined and a sharper focus came to be placed on the content of the performances. Because many of its characteristics challenged social values, variety entertainment came to function as a platform for the mediation of important norms and values. This was a contributing factor in making this form of entertainment a target for the temperance and morality movements. By focussing on how the entrepreneurs, actors, writers, composers and critics thought and acted in the growing public urbanity, Moulin Rouge in Swedish makes an important contribution to understanding how early mass produced Swedish culture took shape in the end of the 19th century.

I examined the population genetic structure of three known subspecies of Glaucomys sabrinus from Appalachia, Washington State, and two previously unexamined populations from Mount Rogers National Recreation Area (MRNRA) in Southwestern Virginia. Mean FST (0.107) and an AMOVA (P G. sabrinus subspecies populations in the southern Appalachians are genetically differentiated. Glaucomys sabrinus at MRNRA were less inbred than expected. Gene flow, a consensus tree based on Nei's genetic distance, elevated heterozygosity and morphometric data suggest that the MRNRA G. sabrinus population is an intergrade of the two recognized Appalachian subspecies, G. s. fuscus and G. s. coloratus. I compared inbreeding and the level of parasite infestation in the two MRNRA populations of G. sabrinus and found that Whitetop Mountain (150 ha habitat) was more inbred than the population on Mount Rogers (400 ha habitat, P Strongyloides robustus were greater in the more fragmented Whitetop Mountain population, although the difference was not statistically significant (P= 0.278). A Mantel comparison of genetic diversity and parasite infestation among individuals did show a highly significant negative correlation (P G. sabrinus form a unique insular population with high genetic diversity that is nonetheless susceptible to increased inbreeding, and elevated parasitism caused by fragmentation.

Full textAbstract:
Mountainous regions comprise more than 30% of the world's terrestrial biomes and are valued for livestock forage, mineral and timber assets and recreation opportunities. Disturbance has resulted in major ecological changes in high elevation ecosystems, including vegetation loss, soil compaction, and reduced soil organic matter (SOM). Restoring high elevation disturbed sites has proven challenging for many years, possibly because of our limited knowledge of disturbance effects on belowground biota, and the ecosystem functions they facilitate. This research compares soil physiochemical and biological properties on disturbed, undisturbed and restored subalpine soils in two national forests in Montana and Washington. Soil physiochemical properties measured include soil moisture, bulk density, SOM, soil nitrogen (N; both total and plant available), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K). Biological processes measured include mycorrhizal infectivity potential (MIP), decomposition, enzyme activity, substrate induced respiration (SIR) and N mineralization. Soil moisture and SOM were significantly lower, while bulk density was higher, on disturbed sites. Total nitrogen (N) was lower on disturbed sites, while NO₃ - and NH₄ + differed only between geographic locations. MIP was low overall and did not differ between disturbance. Decomposition rates did not differ between disturbance after 3, 12 or 24 months. Enzyme activity differed with disturbance and location, with significantly lower activity on disturbed sites for 1 substrate, while nearly significant lower activities for 4 out of 8 substrates measured. SIR differed with disturbance and location, with lower responses on disturbed sites for 6 of 26 substrates. Soil physiochemical and biological characteristics are affected by disturbance and location, however results vary between the parameters measured. This suggests ecosystem components, including soil physiochemical and biological properties are decoupled, responding individualistically to disturbance and restoration.

Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/50422.
Full textAbstract:
Formica spp. mound construction is fundamental to northern forests as their activities govern and shape forest floor dynamics and litter decomposition. The interior Douglas-fir forest at Swakum Mountain contains a super colony of Formica integroides whose presence and monolithic structures dramatically demonstrate their impact on the landscape. Through a series of observations, natural and controlled experiments I examine the effects of Formica mounding on litter decomposition. The basic measurements of temperature, moisture, evolved CO2, and mass loss reveal that Formica mounds buffer litter decomposition as Douglas-fir needles are carefully stacked, stockpiled, and assembled into thatch, where at the depth of ~ 8 cm thatch mass loss minimizes and begins to stabilize. The function of Formica mounding further exacerbates the prevailing arid conditions endemic to this forest type. Cotrufo's Microbial Efficiency-Matrix Stabilization (MEMS) framework sets forth a conceptual model where labile plant constituents are efficiently utilized by microbes and stabilized into soil organic matter (SOM). I integrate my findings within this framework while conceptualizing aspects of complexity theory as potential ecological drivers contributing to soil organic matter formation relating to Formica mounds.
Through natural and controlled experiments my overall objective is to describe and explain litter decomposition involving Formica spp. within an interior Douglas-fir forest. I have included descriptive observations, sketches, and photographs involving the forest floor and Formica spp. behaviors and ecology to provide a holistic perspective describing litter decomposition within this local forest type. The framework of scientific methodology combined with a novel approach, provides further empirical and qualitative support for the findings of my research.<br>Forestry, Faculty of<br>Graduate
