Full textAbstract:
The lepidopteral imaginary that animates Nabokov's relationship to translation can be understood in light of Deleuze and Guattari's notions of ‘apparatus of capture’ and ‘rhizomatic becomings’. On the one hand, Nabokov's scientific fascination with butterflies frames his radically literal approach to translation. The scientific dissection of texts and butterflies ‘captures’ an original and singular content as it flutters, reducing it to the homogenised content of a target source. On the other hand, in Speak, Memory's engagement with ‘multiple metamorphoses, familiar to butterflies’, Nabokov as

Especially since the execution of the writer and Ogoni activist, Ken Saro–Wiwa, international attention has been drawn to the plight of the Niger Delta. Oil-rich but cynically plundered and exploited, the Niger Delta has become symbolic of the Nigerian nation itself, fabulously endowed yet, paradoxically, virtually a beggar nation. This accounts in part for the increasing fascination of a growing number of Nigerian poets, Deltans and non-Deltans alike, with the representative plight of the Niger Delta.

Elements of Avant-garde Poetics and Aesthetics in the Polish and Russian Translations of Charles Bukowski’s Poems
 The poetics of Charles Bukowski’s lyrical verse can be considered avantgarde not only because of their scandalous and often scatological content. It also stems from the author’s philosophical fascination with the disintegration and ruthlessness of time, as well as the situation of the monadic isolation of the individual from the beings external to him. This, in turn, makes Bukowski a peripheral and separate phenomenon even within the polysystem of American culture: the transl

As the first Italian opera to grace the stage of the new opera house at Eszterháza, Lo speziale (1768) afforded Kapellmeister Haydn, and the singers and orchestral musicians under his direction, the opportunity to revel in comedic performance.

Abstract There are calls for innovation in health promotion and for current issues to be presented in new and exciting ways; in addition to creating engaging messages, novel ways to deliver health messaging are needed, especially where youth are the key target audience. When pupils in WHO Health Promoting Schools were asked what health messages would resonate with them, they also identified celebrities as the ‘messengers’ they would be particularly likely to listen to. Expanding on these discussions, the pupils quoted celebrity-recorded music videos containing health and lifestyle messaging as

The Multiple Remote Tower Center concept (mRTC) is a cutting edge project which allows one air traffic control officer (ATCO) to be in charge of multiple remotely situated airports simultaneously. When implemented, it will revolutionise how air traffic is managed at smaller airports and allow for increased efficiency and decreased operational costs. Consequently, at the time of writing a lot of effort is going into evaluating this new way of air traffic management from a safety perspective.

What should states do with the bodies of suicide bombers and other jihadists who die while perpetrating terrorist attacks? This original and unsettling book explores the host of ethical and political questions raised by this dilemma, from (non-)legitimization of the "enemy" and their cause to the non-territorial identity of individuals who identified in life with a global community of believers. Because states do not recognize suicide bombers as enemy combatants, governments must decide individually what to do with their remains.

This book marks out a modernist counter-tradition. The book proceeds from an anachronism common to Italian- and English-language literature and cinema: a fascination with outmoded, paradigmatically pre-modern educational forms that persists long after they are displaced in modernizing, reform-minded pedagogical theories. Old Schools shows that these old-school teaching techniques organize key works by Walter Pater, Giovanni Pascoli, James Joyce, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and Glauber Rocha. All of these figures oppose ideologies of progress by returning to and creatively reimagining the Latin class

Over the last two decades, stalking has received increasingly widespread attention. The establishment of anti-stalking legislation has helped to spur interest in stalking research and the forensic assessment of stalkers. Popular representations of stalking have made the public more aware of this phenomenon. It has long been the responsibility of mental health professionals to provide assessments of and treatment for stalkers and their victims, and as criminal cases involving defendants charged with stalking become more common, it is now also the responsibility of legal professionals to be know

Full textAbstract:
In the late 1960s, Jaquie Davison, an Arizona housewife who struggled to find happiness while raising her seven children, enrolled in a Fascinating Womanhood (FW) workshop at her Mormon church ward led by a fellow Latter-day Saint (LDS) woman, Helen Andelin. Andelin’s workshops, and her accompanying best-selling book, Fascinating Womanhood, offered LDS women the hope of personal fulfillment by accepting their divinely ordained roles and responsibilities, including embracing their sexual gifts as wives. While Andelin mostly avoided the brewing controversies of her era, the meetings radicalized Davison. Creating the organization Happiness of Womanhood (HOW), Davison’s group not only targeted the defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) but also opposed abortion, homosexuality, pornography, sex education, busing, and the removal of school prayer. HOW soon claimed ten thousand members in all fifty states. This chapter examines Andelin and Davison within the context of LDS teachings on sexuality as a way of understanding how Mormon women responded to and helped shape the development of Mormonism’s conservative culture of sexuality and gender and its political consequences. The lessons of FW and the HOW organization turned these women’s attention outward to the nation and committed them to countering the country’s social and sexual developments they believed directly opposed their moral vision and ideological worldview.

This chapter examines the FBI’s domestic intelligence-gathering on religious groups during the Cold War. The author explains how Hoover’s calls for vigilance against foreign agents resonated with socially and theologically conservative evangelicals and fundamentalists who saw “modernizing” or “liberalizing” theological trends in ecumenical American Protestantism as extensions of philosophical materialism and atheistic humanism. The chapter demonstrates how Protestant bodies such as the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States became targets of a fascinating if troubling alliance between the FBI and conservative religious groups that emulated the FBI’s cold hawkishness toward a range of organizations that challenged mainstream trends of the nation.

Full textAbstract:
The prohibition on men and women dancing together was derived from biblical precedent and Jewish laws regulating sexual behavior. While even traditional communities had varied interpretations of what mixed-sex dancing entailed, in literature such boundaries were frequently transgressed. Where rabbinic condemnations of mixed-sex dancing before 1780 emphasize the connection between dancing and forbidden sexual behavior, later and more literary texts use dance to discuss influences from outside of the Jewish community. Writers utilized dance as a metaphor for Jewish modernity, which communicates their concerns with society while entertaining their readers. German Jewish and Yiddish literature targeted readerships that often differed in terms of class background and knowledge of Jewish tradition, yet they shared a fascination with literary dance scenes.

Full textAbstract:
Early settlers, pastoralists and hunters, demonstrated an extensive ecological knowledge of the local landscape as of animal behaviour. India rulers used hunts and captive wild animals in the court to underline their bravery, military prowess and valour. The local fascination with shikar (hunting) rubbed off onto British elite, who participated in gruesome farces of urban ‘hunts’, against large wild cats imported in cages from the forests surrounding Bengaluru. Uncaged wildlife were perceived as vermin, leading to an intensive period of targeted kills in the 19<sup>th</sup> century. These histories influence our framing of the wild beast as the ‘other’: a being to be valorized in battle, conquered in a hunt, trapped in a cage, butchered for trophies, and exoticized in print, but not capable of co-existing with humans. Solutions are unclear, and would be simplistic to propose. But the need to foster a new ethic of urban conservation appears clear.

This chapter talks about the reception of materials on Midrash and Targum. It discusses the rhetorical uses of the materials beyond the synagogue that are a matter of much cultural and historical significance. Accounts of the infiltration and penetration of midrashic forms and content into a host of New Testament texts attest to the ongoing and conditioning power of Midrash, as well as its capacity to undergird transformed legal and theological content. The chapter looks at fascinating instances where the recognition of midrashic argumentation and practice clarifies the New Testament source itself and even provides a witness to rabbinic topics before their midrashic redaction. It reviews the essence of Midrash and its all-inclusive definition that midrash springs from Scripture and is re-anchored in Scripture.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter studies three representative novels that voice their authors’ fascination with the Occident and desire to see their people become part of the civilised world. Although these novels are guided by their authors’ unbending belief in France’s civilising mission, the social ills they depict invite the readers’ doubts of this view. Whether they were fully assimilated to the point of converting to Christianity (Chukri Khodja’s Mamoun: L’Ebauche d’un idéal), or partially assimilated by remaining Muslim while indulging in the vice of drinking alcohol and mixing with bad Europeans (Abdelkader Hadj Hamou’s Zohra la femme du mineur), the main characters in these novels have not been saved from their ‘barbarity’; one way or another, they all meet a tragic end. In contrast however, Mohammed Ould Cheikh’s Myriem dans les Palmes heralds a new era where through mixed marriages and the fusion of the French and Maghrebi races peace prevails at last, reflecting of course the author’s utopic dream as promoted by the French civilising mission. Furthermore, this chapter demonstrates that the discussed novels offer significant instances of self-exoticism and a faithful adoption of the Orientalist tropes providing thus much needed clichés to the authors’ targeted Occidental readers.

Reluctant, young Sadye Marks becomes drawn into vaudeville and radio performance through marriage to Jack Benny. The character created for her by Harry Conn, Mary Livingstone, becomes a popular and unique character in American entertainment. As Jack’s sometimes-secretary and chief heckler, Mary criticizes men with remarkable freedom, yet also retains her independence and attractiveness, much like Hollywood heroines of the 1930s, and yet Mary never has to get married in the final reel. Mary Livingstone had great cultural impact, and star status, in the 1930s as a comic “Unruly Woman.” After World War II, however, Mary’s inhibitions drew her away from the microphone, and her delightfully tart tongue was heard less frequently. With a fascinating affinity for a feminist viewpoint, female characters in the Benny show narrative universe were tough and usually prevailed over the men.

Full textAbstract:
On February 15, 1946, a giant of a machine called the ENIAC, an acronym for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, was commissioned at a ceremony at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. The name is noteworthy. We see that the word computer—to mean the machine and not the person—had cautiously entered the emerging vocabulary of computer culture. Bell Laboratories named one of its machines Complex Computer; another, Ballistic Computer (see Chapter 5, Section I ). Still, the embryonic world of computing was hesitant; the terms “calculator”, “calculating machine”, “computing machine”, and “computing engine” still prevailed. The ENIAC’s full name (which, of course, would never be used after the acronym was established) seemed, at last, to flaunt the fact that this machine had a definite identity, that it was a computer. The tale of the ENIAC is a fascinating tale in its own right, but it is also a very important tale. Computer scientists and engineers of later times may be ignorant about the Bell Laboratories machines, they may be hazy about the Harvard Mark series, they may have only an inkling about Babbage’s dream machines, but they will more than likely have heard about the ENIAC. Why was this so? What was it about the ENIAC that admits its story into the larger story? It was not the first electronic computer; the Colossus preceded the ENIAC by 2 years. True, no one outside the Bletchley Park community knew about the Colossus, but from a historical perspective, for historians writing about the state of computing in the 1940s, the Colossus clearly took precedence over the ENIAC. In fact (as we will soon see), there was another electronic computer built in America that preceded the ENIAC. Nor was the ENIAC the first programmable computer. Zuse’s Z3 and Aiken’s Harvard Mark I, as well as the Colossus, well preceded the ENIAC in this realm. As for that other Holy Grail, general purposeness, this was, as we have noted, an elusive target (see Chapter 6, Section III).

Full textAbstract:
Medical history is filled with innovations contributing to the continuous development of medical science, but some achievements may be thought of as real feats. One event which really deserves such a designation should be the introduction of ultrasound in medical diagnosis. This is a real example of creative thinking that cut across scientific borders and which required a lot of careful and time-consuming work with equipment of initially very primitive standards. As described by Håkan westling in the first chapter of this book, it all started in the late 1940s when the young Swedish cardiologist Inge Edler started to take an interest in techniques used during world war II. The account of the very first course of events differ, however, in small details from what I learnt when Edler himself gave me his version. His general aim was to investigate if it would be possible to turn any of the horrors of the war to something positive in the service of mankind. It is true that his first idea was intended for radar and that he got in contact with the physicist Hellmuth Hertz to get advice. when Hertz had judged the idea as unrealistic — the wavelength of radar would not permit a resolution necessary for the visualization of human organs — Edler became interested in the hunt for submarines in the North Sea, where ultrasound was used for detection and as a tool for directing the torpedoes against the right target. Again, he got in touch with Hertz who had recently studied the basics of ultrasound and who immediately realized that it would be a good idea to test it in medical diagnosis. The description of the testing of an ultrasound reflectoscope from Kockum’s shipyard in Malmo, Sweden, in May 1953 and another one from Siemens-Reiniger-werke in west Germany during the autumn of the same year coincides with westling’s report. It is really fascinating to see how human creativity may convert technical equipment originally meant for industrial, non-destructive detection of flaws in materials to the use for diagnosis of defects in the human body.

Full textAbstract:
Few biologists today have likely heard of cell biologist Alex Novikoff (1913–1987) (Figure 3.1). But the fruits of his science are well known. He helped discover the cell organelle called the lysosome. In 1955 he visualized what Christian de Duve had characterized only by chemical means. He documented the first known enzyme of the Golgi body, another cell organelle. He developed ways to stain lysosomes and peroxisomes (also cell organelles) that were critical to identifying them and studying them with the electron microscope. Novikoff also was targeted by the anti-Communist movement in the mid-twentieth century. In 1953 he was dismissed from the University of Vermont for declining to answer questions before a congressional committee. In 1974 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. His FBI file then contained 822 pages. Novikoff ’s fascinating case raises important issues about how science and political ideology relate. In 1982 the American Society for Cell Biology honored Novikoff with its prestigious E. B. Wilson Award for his foundational contributions to the emerging field. Yet much earlier, in the late 1930s, he was indeed a member of the Communist Party. For him, it expressed a quest for social justice and an appreciation of Karl Marx’s scientific posture toward society. While he researched experimental embryology as a PhD student at Columbia University, he also helped write and distribute the Communist newsletter at Brooklyn College, where he taught. When the college tried to disrupt the teachers’ union, Novikoff was secretly listed as a suspected Communist. When World War II began, Novikoff wanted to serve the nation. He applied for a medical commission in the military. He was twice denied, however, owing to doubts about his loyalty. He later consulted for the army on two biological films—until it found his vague Communist record. (One wonders: Did someone imagine that he could link enzymes and carbohydrate metabolism to the violent overthrow of the US government?) Later, Novikoff lost his faculty position—not for any political activity but for invoking the Fifth Amendment in anti-Communist hearings, and despite recommendations from fellow faculty describing his “tireless” research efforts.

Nowadays, the operative range limit of compressors is still a key aspect of the research into turbomachinery. In particular, the study of the mass flow rate lower limit represents a significant factor in order to predict and avoid the inception of critical working conditions and instabilities such as stall and surge. The importance of predicting and preventing these dangerous phenomena is vital since they lead to a loss of performance and severe damage to the compression system and the compressor components. The identification of the typical precursors of these two types of compressor unstable
