Abstract:

There are 1,416 railway stations in this country, of which 729 are underground stations. Moreover, more than 50% of the stations are constructed underground. Recently, the deep depth wide-area railroad has being designed and constructed. Railroads are the main means of transportation for the people and confirming evacuation safety in crowded underground spaces is a crucial subject. The functions of urban railroads and wide-area railroad underground stations built in urban underground spaces are the same. Nevertheless, there are differences between the station safety analysis scenario and the m

Abstract:

This paper analyzes the narrative structure of Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad against the grain of traditional slave narrative conventions. The novel may be categorized as a neoslave narrative, telling the story of a slave girl, Cora, and her escape from a Georgia plantation using the “Underground Railroad” mentioned in the title. My working hypothesis takes cue from the explicit, literal rendering of the Underground Railroad in the text, which may be considered as symptomatic of Whitehead’s approach to the slave narrative convention, in that his novel discloses or makes visible a

Abstract:

My Master’s Thesis is comprised of two essays that review two contemporary American texts. Through genres of the gothic and historical fiction, these texts confront America’s violence of the past and present. The first essay, “Desiring and Dispossessing: Whiteness in Cormac McCarthy’s Child of God,” investigates the novel’s reliance on a gothic genre as an affective strategy to confront whiteness’ specter of self-destruction. The second essay, “Escaping Through The Underground Railroad,” reconsiders the movement of escape and theorizes the action as a miraculous but forever-incomplete movement

Abstract:

It has always been important to study history. But what we can’t forget is that there’s more than one way of doing so. One of those is literature. In this thesis I will therefore study two contemporary historical novels: The Night Watch by Sarah Waters and The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. The aim is to explore how they portray different kinds of historical experiences and how that may relate to questions that are relevant even in a contemporary context. Because both novels have an interestning relationship with time and space, I’m going to use the russian literary theorist Micheal

Abstract:

AbstractThis chapter reads the Underground Railroad ecocritically as a literary heterotopia (Foucault) of the fugitive slave narrative that became vital to an African American spatial and environmental imagination. A turn to a variety of texts ranging from abolitionist writing to slave narratives by Bayley (1825), Curry (1840), Douglass (1845), Bibb (1849), and J. Brown (1855) demonstrates that this literary heterotopia became a means of claiming (through) space in a twofold sense. First, it enabled fugitives’ reclaiming themselves by reinterpreting relations between space and body, and by subversively playing with an antebellum popular discourse of the “Liberty Line.” Second, this subversive play provided a means of claiming space in the sense of imagining a literary Underground Railroad, which narrators could employ as a “discursive loophole” to express African American environmental knowledge.

Abstract:

The Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA), like many other transit agencies throughout the country, is currently addressing the stray current corrosion problems on its rail system. Numerous capital projects have been released by the authority for the rehabilitation of their corroded infrastructures along their right-of-way. In addition, new maintenance procedures have been implemented to minimize corrosion problems to the rail and utility infrastructures located adjacent to the electrified railroad. The corrosion effect on rail infrastructures is often overlooked by most e

The ELFI project was one of nine BEXUS experiments carried in two stratospheric balloons in 2021. The aim of the experiment was to develop a system for the non-stationary measurement of electromagnetic waves in the extremely low frequency range. The Schumann resonances that are part of this range are especially important for meteorological research. For the planned use of the system on a stratospheric balloon, various requirements and aspects regarding the measurement environment had to be considered during the development. The system is based on a magnetic loop antenna connected to a signal p

Abstract:

The horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technique is specially suited for pipeline crossings of waterways, beaches, roads, vulnerable natural regions, railroads and airports. The HDD method is a two-stage process consisting of navigating a drill stem underground along a predetermined design route and the pulling back of the product pipe through the prepared hole. One of the major problems faced in HDD projects is subsurface exploration and locating of existing underground obstacles. HDD equipment must avoid these obstacles if at all possible.
