Le Roman de Dublin : nouvelles figurations
Authors: Mikowski Sylvie
Published: December 2015

Avec Dubliners Joyce inaugura un véritable sous-genre littéraire qui prend la capitale irlandaise non seulement comme cadre au sens réaliste du terme mais comme source d'un mode de représentation particulier : la ville est à la fois figurée et prise comme figure. Ainsi, la carte de la ville devient une grammaire narrative qui détermine les destinées des personnages. Après lui, plusieurs générations de romanciers ont cherché à renouveler le roman de Dublin, en utilisant également la ville comme décor et en inventant à travers elle un nouveau mode de figuration : McGahern renouvelle l'opposition traditionnelle entre ville et campagne, Bolger se sert du gothique, Doyle privilégie l'oralité. Trois exemples de romans très contemporains sont examinés ici : The Parts de Keidi Ridgway, Authenticity de Deirdre Madden, The Swing of Things de Sean O'Reilly, afin de déterminer si les transformations économiques et sociales intervenues ces dernières années et qui ont profondément modifié les mœurs des Dublinois se sont à nouveau traduites par des évolutions des modes de narration et d'écriture : comme on le verra, la réponse est positive, confirmant l'hypothèse que c'est bien Dublin qui permet aux romanciers irlandais d'épouser le mouvement de la modernité et de la postmodernité.
Dramaturgie musicale de Yeats : la question des partitions
Authors: Longuenesse Pierre
Published: December 2015

L'analyse des rapports entre Yeats et la musique, tels qu'ils sont révélés par les partitions écrites pour son théâtre, reste fragmentaire, incomplète, et peu problématisée : la critique yeatsienne s'est souvent contentée d'un regard bienveillant et distant sur des positions jugées peu pertinentes, discréditées par le fait que Yeats n'avait pas l'oreille musicale. Cet essai se propose d'opérer rapidement un travail de recensement critique des collaborateurs de l'écrivain, et de reproblématiser, à la lumière des réflexions d'Ezra Pound ou d'Henri Meschonnic, une recherche reposant sur la musicalité de la parole. On revient à cet effet sur les partitions négligées de plusieurs des premiers collaborateurs de l'écrivain, qui semblent pertinentes pour illustrer cette recherche d'un « parlacantando » proche de l'esthétique baroque et de la pensée d'Ezra Pound.
Beowulf et le barbare
Authors: Stephens Jessica
Published: December 2015

Beowulf, an epic poem dating back to the VIIIth century, depicts a fledgling society oscillating between civilisation and barbarism, elevation and entropy. The young hero, Beowulf, comes to the rescue of the Danes whose citadel is ransacked by two monsters, and he confronts the beasts which are also, to a certain extent, his doppelgângers. The different facets of barbarism - such as excess and dissension - are at the heart of this text which also celebrates social bonding and the spoken word. Seamus Heaney's translation of this medieval masterpiece was published in 1999.
Synthesizing Difference : Charlotte Brooke's Reliques of Irish Poetry, the Construction of Identity and the Politics of the Literary Collection
Authors: Jung Sandro
Published: December 2015

This essay examines the ways in which Charlotte Brooke, in her 1789 Reliques of Irish Poetry, uses the literary collection to articulate one more or less coherent (cultural) view that she derives from a variety of different texts while putting forward her own cause, that is the desire to become a recognised professional writer. Her professional deployment of a variety of discourses (sentimental, patriotic and political) and the construction of her ambivalent female persona necessitate a reconsideration of earlier scholarship which saw the Reliques in terms of Romantic cultural nationalism, rather than a female author's skilfully planned introduction to the publishing markets of both Dublin and London.
Sardoodledom revisited, or a few trivial remarks about Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband (1895)
Authors: Aquien Pascal
Published: December 2015

Nineteenth-century French bourgeois drama exerted a powerful influence on Oscar Wilde's dramatic works. In the first place, the Irish playwright used this convenient formal frame to structure his society comedies. In the second place, he handled it as a critical and subversive tool to question the ideological and social balance of the British Establishment. Finally he moved beyond it to imagine new dramatic forms based on language as sheer dynamics working against and across the boundaries of rational and aesthetic certainties.
Sarah Bernhardt, the Irish, et le pays de Kangaroo
Authors: Kuch Peter
Published: December 2015

La saison théâtrale de Sarah Bernhardt à Melbourne en 1891 a marqué un moment clé dans l'histoire culturelle de l'Australie : le moment où la modernité a triomphé du modernisme. Par « modernité », on entend ici les innovations technologiques qui ont reconfiguré les paradigmes contemporains du temps et de l'espace et radicalement déplacé les sites de production et de consommation. Par « modernisme », on entend le mouvement esthétique de contestation de la modernité, la résistance héroïque mais vaine au culte de l'immédiateté et du matérialisme. Non que la saison australienne de Bernhardt ait constitué un déplacement épistémique dans la culture australienne ; mais elle a fait apparaître des forces associées à la modernité et inhérentes à la société australienne, qui devaient s'avérer hostiles au modernisme.
The Hibernicization of En Attendant Godot
Authors: Grene Nicholas
Published: December 2015

In the light of increasing emphasis in both criticism and theatrical productions on the Irishness of Beckett, this paper examines the Irish dimensions to the English language text of Waiting for Godot. This is approached through an account of the notably successful 1955 Irish premiere of the play, directed by Alan Simpson at the small Pike Theatre in Dublin. However, an examination of the promptbook used by Simpson for this production reveals that the text was systematically 'Hibernicized', with many phrases re-written in a colloquial Irish English. Beckett's original English language text, by contrast, shows a few such Hibernicisms, but many other cases that illustrate his policy of translating from the French 'as literally as I could', including the deliberate retention of Gallicisms. The self-translated play, therefore, must be seen as a linguistic no-man's land which resists the Hibernicization of which Simpson's re-writing is the most extreme example.
Pharmacological treatment with L-DOPA may reduce striatal dopamine transporter binding in in vivo imaging studies
Authors: Antke C. , Hautzel H. , Mueller H.-W. , Nikolaus S.
Published: December 2015

Numerous neurologic and psychiatric conditions are treated with pharmacological compounds, which lead to an increase of synaptic dopamine (DA) levels. One example is the DA precursor L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), which is converted to DA in the presynaptic terminal. If the increase of DA concentrations in the synaptic cleft leads to competition with exogenous radioligands for presynaptic binding sites, this may have implications for DA transporter (DAT) imaging studies in patients under DAergic medication.

This paper gives an overview on those findings, which, so far, have been obtained on DAT binding in human Parkinson’s disease after treatment with L-DOPA. Findings, moreover, are related to results obtained on rats, mice or non-human primates. Results indicate that DAT imaging may be reduced in the striata of healthy animals, in the unlesioned striata of animal models of unilateral Parkinson’s disease and in less severly impaired striata of Parkinsonian patients, if animal or human subjects are under acute or subchronic treatment with L-DOPA. If also striatal DAT binding is susceptible to alterations of synaptic DA levels, this may allow to quantify DA reuptake in analogy to DA release by assessing the competition between endogenous DA and the administered exogenous DAT radioligand.
Flexor digitorum lateralis tendon transposition for the repair of bilateral calcaneal tendon rupture in a cat with severe thermal injury
Authors: Wong Hoong , Bush Alexander , Hoffmann Daniel
Published: December 2015

Objective: To describe a novel technique utilizing the flexor digitorum lateralis tendon to repair rupture of the common calcaneal tendon with a gap defect.

Clinical report: An eight-month-old male Domestic Shorthair cat with bilateral common calcaneal tendon rupture secondary to severe thermal injury underwent bilateral common calcaneal tendon repair performed in two stages. The first stage involved using the flexor digitorum lateralis tendon to reconstruct the common calcaneal tendon and a semitendinosus muscle flap for improved blood supply. A calcaneotibial screw was used for immobilization of the tarsocrural joint. The second surgery involved free skin grafting for complete wound closure. Twelve weeks after the calcaneotibial screws were placed, the calcaneotibial screws were removed and fibreglass splints were applied. The splints were removed after two weeks.

Results: Full recovery took five months between the surgery and the final follow-up examination. The cat had a functional gait with no lameness and was able to jump to a height of approximately 75 cm.

Clinical significance: Use of the flexor digitorum lateralis tendon may be considered for repair of a common calcaneal tendon rupture when a gap exists and traditional tendon lengthening techniques are not feasible.
Usefulness of multidetector computed tomography in the evaluation of spinal neuro- musculoskeletal injuries
Authors: Ricciardi Mario
Published: December 2015

Spinal trauma is commonly diagnosed in small animal practice. Although the first approach to the patient with spinal trauma includes survey spinal radiographs, an accurate evaluation of the injury often requires advanced imaging. Multidetector computed tomography has revolutionized computed tomography technology, providing near-isotropic volumetric representation of the complete body with exquisite anatomical detail in a brief scan time. This review aims to discuss the technical background, indications, and limitations of multidetector computed tomography in the assessment of spinal trauma with particular reference to skeletal, muscular and nervous spinal components.

No association between plant mating system and geographic range overlap
Authors: Grossenbacher Dena , Briscoe Runquist Ryan D. , Goldberg Emma E. , Brandvain Yaniv
Published: December 2015

PREMISE OF THE STUDY:

Automatic self‐fertilization may influence the geography of speciation, promote reproductive isolation between incipient species, and lead to ecological differentiation. As such, selfing taxa are predicted to co‐occur more often with their closest relatives than are outcrossing taxa. Despite suggestions that this pattern may be general, the extent to which mating system influences range overlap in close relatives has not been tested formally across a diverse group of plant species pairs.

METHODS:

We tested for a difference in range overlap between species pairs for which zero, one, or both species are selfers, using data from 98 sister species pairs in 20 genera across 15 flowering plant families. We also used divergence time estimates from time‐calibrated phylogenies to ask how range overlap changes with divergence time and whether this effect depends on mating system.

KEY RESULTS:

We found no evidence that automatic self‐fertilization influenced range overlap of closely related plant species. Sister pairs with more recent divergence times had modestly greater range overlap, but this effect did not depend on mating system.

CONCLUSIONS:

The absence of a strong influence of mating system on range overlap suggests that mating system plays a minor or inconsistent role compared with many other mechanisms potentially influencing the co‐occurrence of close relatives.
Mating system divergence affects the distribution of sequence diversity within and among populations of recently diverged subspecies of Clarkia xantiana (Onagraceae)
Authors: Pettengill James B. , Briscoe Runquist Ryan D. , Moeller David A.
Published: December 2015

PREMISE OF THE STUDY:

The population biology of outcrossing and self‐fertilizing taxa is thought to differ because of the advantage that selfers have in colonizing unoccupied sites where mates and pollinators may be limiting (Baker's Law). This reduced tendency for outcrossers to colonize new sites, along with their greater dependence on pollinators to disperse pollen, has the potential to differently influence the genetic diversity and structure of outcrossing and selfing populations.

METHODS:

We conducted a comparative population genetic study of two sister outcrossing and selfing subspecies of Clarkia xantiana that have very recently diverged. We used DNA sequence variation (>40 kb from eight nuclear loci) from large samples of individuals from 14 populations to assess geographic patterns of genetic diversity and make inferences about the demographic and colonization histories of each subspecies.

KEY RESULTS:

We show that sequence variation is strongly reduced across all selfing populations. The demographic history of selfing populations exhibits recent colonization bottlenecks, whereas such bottlenecks are rarely observed for the outcrosser. The greater effect of genetic drift in the selfer has resulted in strong population genetic structure, but with no pattern of isolation by distance. By contrast, the stronger effect of gene flow in the outcrosser has resulted in considerably less structure, but a significant pattern of isolation by distance.

CONCLUSIONS:

Taken together, our results suggest that selfing populations are not at migration–drift equilibrium, are affected by strong episodes of genetic drift during colonization, and experience little or no subsequent gene flow from other populations after those founder events.
Early Greek Colonies and Greek Cultural Identity: Megara Hyblaia and the Phaeacians
Authors: Porciani Leone
Published: December 2015

Les premières colonies grecques et l’ identité culturelle grecque : Mégara Hyblaeaet les Phéaciens De récentes études sur les relations entre les cultures anciennes dans le contexte méditerranéen tentent de réviser le rôle de la notion d’ identité aux premiers stades du développement historique. La Grèce archaïque est un cas intéressant : dans une vision traditionnelle des choses, on souligne le rôle de la première « colonisation » grecque (VIIIe-VIIe siècles av. J.-C.) dans l’ élaboration d’ un sentiment d’ identité grecque, qui serait né des contacts/ contrastes avec les habitants des lieux où les Grecs établirent leurs colonies. À l’ heure actuelle, de nouvelles perspectives mettent l’ accent sur des phénomènes tels que l’ hybridité (l’ émergence de nouvelles identités dans des contextes coloniaux) et les interactions pacifiques, de sorte que l’ identité hellénique per se ne puisse plus tenir en tant que catégorie historique. Cet article essaie de revisiter cette notion afin de l’ exploiter pour l’ étude des données archéologiques correspondant aux premières phases de l’ urbanisation grecque (Mégara Hyblaea, Sicile).
L’ utilisation rhétorique de l’ argument de la non-citoyenneté de l’ adversaire durant les procès du IVe siècle à Athènes
Authors: Aka Adou Marcel
Published: December 2015

Résumé L’ intérêt de l’ article est de montrer que la question de la citoyenneté était très importante à Athènes au point que les parties en procès l’ utilisaient comme argument pour s’ affaiblir. C’ est ainsi que pour remporter les procès ou pour se diffamer, les adversaires qui étaient des rivaux sur la scène politique se reprochaient de ne pas être Athénien, d’ avoir perdu les droits politiques ou d’ avoir usurpé la citoyenneté athénienne. Cette rhétorique était utilisée comme invective et comme preuve juridique dans les procès concernant ou non la citoyenneté.
Esclavitud femenina en la Roma antigua. Entre la reproducción biológica y la maternidad
Authors: Rubiera Cancelas Carla
Published: December 2015

L’ esclavage féminin dans la Rome antique. Entre reproduction biologique et maternité La recherche sur l’ esclavage féminin dans la Rome Antique associe traditionnellement les femmes esclaves à la reproduction biologique. Cependant rares sont les études qui se sont penchées attentivement sur ce processus en se focalisant sur les esclaves femmes. C’ est précisément au cours de ces analyses que surgissent des concepts tels qu’ animalisation, violence physique et psychologique, ventres gestants, mais aussi maternité. Ainsi, il se dégage une vision plus large de la signification de l’ utilisation de ces femmes en tant que reproductrices du système esclavagiste.
Evaluating the Clinical Judgment of Newly Hired Staff Nurses
Authors: Lasater Kathie , Nielsen Ann E. , Stock Mary , Ostrogorsky Tanya L.
Published: December 2015

Assessing newly hired nurses' readiness for practice is critical for safe practice and the quality care of patients; therefore, hospitals need effective assessment strategies to promote clinical judgment development. One large medical center hospital developed a process to assess new hires' clinical judgment, using case studies. This article describes the assessment process and reports findings from a retrospective analysis of the clinical judgment competency of the participants. The findings suggest that more orientation time and experience are needed for less-experienced nurses (<3 years) and experienced nurses who have not practiced in acute care. The research concludes that practice and academic educators must work more closely for a smoother transition of novice nurses into practice.

En permanente construcción. La recreación de la figura de santa Teresa en las semblanzas biográficas de sus hijas
Authors: Atienza López Ángela
Published: December 2015

La figura de Teresa de Jesús, además de en sus recreaciones biográficas, se presentó y representó también en otros escenarios textuales. Las semblanzas biográficas de las carmelitas descalzas que contenían las crónicas de la orden también incorporarán referencias a la madre fundadora. Estudiamos en nuestro trabajo cuáles fueron los ingredientes del retrato teresiano que se fueron reflejando en esas narraciones, poniendo de manifiesto cómo, al lado de la dimensión «milagrosa» y de la faceta sobrenatural de Teresa, estos textos enfatizan mucho la dimensión más humana y terrenal. La Teresa que sobresale es la mujer con autoridad, la fundadora y emprendedora, la política y la organizadora, la mujer de acción y de gobierno, la de mirada atenta y vigilante a todos los asuntos que pudieran afectar a sus conventos y a sus proyectos reformistas, la mujer que se relacionaba con el resto del mundo social, que lidiaba con los poderes eclesiásticos y seculares… En definitiva, una Teresa alejada de las concepciones establecidas sobre las mujeres en aquella época y de los papeles que se les asignaban también se cuela en las páginas de los cronistas, aunque muchos de los teresianistas lo han ignorado a lo largo del tiempo en beneficio de una imagen de santa Teresa adaptada a la hagiografía.
Los jesuitas y la Monarquía Hispánica en el contexto de la guerra de los treinta años (1625-1635)
Authors: Negredo del Cerro Fernando , Villalba Pérez Enrique
Published: December 2015

La Compañía de Jesús es, probablemente, la orden religiosa mejor estudiada para la edad moderna. El acceso a sus fuentes y la labor de los propios miembros de la congregación nos ha permitido tener ideas bastante claras sobre su comportamiento en el siglo XVII. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los trabajos que han abordado sus implicaciones políticas lo han hecho desde una perspectiva, bien jesuítica, bien romana, dejando muchas veces de lado las fuentes propias de la Monarquía Hispánica. En el presente trabajo pretendemos mostrar cómo se vivió en los círculos gubernamentales madrileños la actuación de algunos de los más relevantes miembros de la orden –no siempre proclives a los intereses de Felipe IV– y pergeñar los mecanismos que puso en marcha la Monarquía para reforzar sus intereses en una Europa en guerra.
El obispo Pedro Cirilo Úriz y Labayru en la encrucijada del concordato de 1851
Authors: Closa Salinas Francesc
Published: December 2015

En los albores de 1851, fecha de aprobación del Concordato entre el gobierno español y la Santa Sede, Úriz es preconizado como obispo de Lleida. Tiene ante sí una difícil tarea, modernizar un obispado duramente castigado por las guerras y la ausencia –durante varios años– de un pastor eclesiástico. Úriz se nos presenta como un enérgico prelado artífice de la reordenación, modernización y actualización del obispado según los preceptos concordatorios. Este minucioso trabajo irá acompañado de una reflexión sobre el papel de la iglesia ante los enormes cambios que tomaba el país. En sus pastorales imputa a los liberales la causa de la gran tragedia de la iglesia en España. Ante ello propone que el catolicismo se convierta en una verdadera religión oficial y que volviera a disfrutar de algunos de sus tradicionales privilegios, perdidos durante la primera parte del siglo XIX. A cambio aceptarían la monarquía isabelina, el gobierno moderado así como la modernización y cambios en el campo social, tecnológico e incluso cultural del país.
La relación de voluntad y entendimiento en la modernidad temprana: una clave antropológica para la teoría y la praxis
Authors: Espinosa Luciano
Published: December 2015

El artículo indaga en dos tradiciones filosóficas, la primera enfatiza la importancia de la voluntad y la segunda prefiere el entendimiento. Estas opciones antropológicas son decisivas para explicar otras cuestiones (Dios, conocimiento, ética, naturaleza e historia), y tiene también muchas consecuencias prácticas. Después de una exposición genealógica, estudiamos los casos de Leibniz y Spinoza porque unifican ambas dimensiones pero de manera distinta.
El fundamento democrático de la soberanía en Francisco Giner, según el Corpus Mysticum de Francisco Suárez
Authors: Manzanero Delia
Published: December 2015

El presente artículo trata de ofrecer un análisis detenido de las similitudes y diferencias que pueden establecerse entre el concepto de soberanía que formulan F. Giner y F. Suárez. En primer lugar, analizaremos los matices que presenta el concepto de corpus mysticum a fin de ahondar en el fondo democrático que implica esta idea. En segundo lugar, trataremos de dar cuenta de este fenómeno de recuperación del legado de los iusnaturalistas clásicos hispanos que fue llevado a cabo, paradójicamente, no desde quienes se presentaban como tradicionalistas, sino desde las premisas reformadoras y liberales krausistas, lo cual auspició una lectura renovadora, en clave esencialmente igualitaria y democrática, de sus doctrinas. Por último, ahondaremos en su empeño común por revalorizar el papel social y democrático de las instituciones políticas tradicionales hispanas, cuya lectura nos devuelve un paisaje políticamente pluralista y democrático.
Antropología de lo impropio, filosofía política y ciencia de los límites en Deleuze y Guattari
Authors: Ingala Gómez Emma
Published: December 2015

Partiendo del paralelismo entre las empresas de, por una parte, Diferencia y repetición (1968) y El Anti-Edipo (1972), y, por otra parte, Lógica del sentido (1969) y Mil mesetas (1980), y siguiendo el enfoque que Bertrand Ogilvie adopta en su libro La seconde nature du politique. Essai d’anthropologie négative, pretendemos determinar si en el paso del primer posicionamiento al segundo –es decir, de Diferencia y repetición a Lógica del sentido y de El Anti-Edipo a Mil mesetas– se produce un abandono rotundo de la perspectiva antropológica, como pudiera parecer a primera vista, o si cabría entender que más bien se sientan las bases de una antropología de lo impropio o antropología negativa que ya anuncia la necesidad de contener y limitar las reivindicaciones de lo inesencial, lo inacabado o el vacío como rasgo característico de la condición humana.
La noción de “pasividad” en la ética de Emmanuel Levinas
Authors: Pinardi Sandra
Published: December 2015

El objetivo de este artículo es indagar acerca de la noción de “pasividad” que caracteriza al sujeto en el proyecto ético de Emmanuel Levinas. Un sujeto que es y está entregado al Otro (Autri), más allá de toda decisión voluntaria y de cualquier relación fáctica. La “pasividad” es la noción que permite comprender la contextura de la subjetividad levinasiana, su modo de constituirse, de “realizarse”, así como algo que denominaremos su
“condición segunda”. La pasividad aparece en el pensamiento de Levinas como la noción que le permite articular su ética, en tanto que ésta se funda en una responsabilidad que acontece en el extremo abandono de las certidumbres del “si mismo”, del “yo”.
El monolingüismo del huésped
Authors: Jerade Miriam
Published: December 2015

En una nota a pie de página de su El monolingüismo del otro (publicado originalmente en francés en 1996), Derrida presenta una reflexión sobre la lengua que denomina “el monolingüismo del huésped”. Este “monolingüismo del otro” se contrapone a la noción de lengua materna que había propuesto Hannah Arendt. El presente artículo pretende ahondar en ese “monolingüismo del huésped” tomando como punto de partida el concepto derridiano de “idioma” y su reflexión sobre el acto de traducir. Buscamos demostrar cómo las ideas de Derrida pueden servir para repensar la relación entre lengua y hospitalidad, noción esta crucial dentro del concepto del “monolingüismo del otro”.
Mística y ética: desafíos para nuestro tiempo. De la experiencia mística a la acción moral
Authors: Yúfera Julia
Published: December 2015

Después del proceso de secularización propio de la modernidad, podemos sospechar que, quizás, estemos asistiendo a una época de post-secularización debido al creciente interés por la espiritualidad y por la mística. En este contexto, el presente estudio sobre lo místico y su vinculación con la ética tiene por objetivo fundamental conocer qué aportaciones al ámbito de la acción moral pueden surgir del estudio de la experiencia mística. Para ello, profundizaremos en el conocimiento del propio ser humano desde una perspectiva que contemple su dimensión trascendente y espiritual, a fin de valorar la contribución que puede suponer el estudio de la mística al ámbito de la educación en valores, en pos de un nuevo paradigma antropológico, social y cultural que responda a las eternas inquietudes del ser humano.
La clonación humana y el problema de la identidad
Authors: Calise Santiago Gabriel
Published: December 2015

El siguiente trabajo se propone indagar los problemas que la clonación humana acarrearía para la identidad, debido a que este concepto se ha erigido en uno de los principales argumentos para intentar fundamentar una prohibición de la mencionada práctica. Sin embargo, la categoría de identidad aparece no solamente en los argumentos éticos, sino también en las definiciones de la clonación y en las metáforas utilizadas para calificar a los seres nacidos por esta vía. En todos esos planos, se entremezclan diferentes interpretaciones de la idea de identidad, muchas veces creándose confusiones sobre el plano donde se despliegan estos razonamientos. A través de desarrollos filosóficos del concepto, como los aportes de Ricoeur, se pretende evaluar hasta qué punto la identidad del ser nacido por clonación se vería ultrajada por la técnica mencionada.

Mechanical Properties of Short Fiber and Non-Woven Kenaf Reinforced Polypropylene Composites: Effects of Oil Palm Shell Powder Addition
Authors: Abd Latif Mohd Abrar , Abd Manaf Mohd Edeerozey , Maslamany Loganarrth , Hussain Muhammad Syafiq Mohd , Mohamad Noraiham
Published: December 2015

Kenaf is renowned for its renewable and environmental friendly properties. Recently, there is an interest on the application of kenaf-based material for high-end uses such as in the automotive industry. In this study, the effects of oil palm shell powder (OPSP) addition on the mechanical properties of kenaf reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites are investigated. Two types of kenaf are used in this study, i.e., non-woven and short fiber. For the former, the composites are fabricated by hot pressing a non-woven kenaf sheet sandwiched by thin PP sheets which have been mixed beforehand with OPSP by using internal mixer. For the latter, kenaf short fibers are mixed with OPSP using internal mixer, then compression molded by using hot press. In general, addition of OPSP was effective to improve the mechanical properties of non-woven kenaf reinforced PP composites, while the kenaf short fiber reinforced PP showed varied results. Composites reinforced with non-woven kenaf showed a larger increase in tensile strength, elongation at break and impact strength with the OPSP addition than those reinforced by kenaf short fibers.

Authors: Wahab Juyana A. , Ghazali M.J. , Yusoff W.M.W. , Sajuri Zainuddin , Shamsudin Shaiful Rizam
Published: December 2015

Technology for surface protection in contact with seawater has been studied. It mainly focuses on the capability of superhydrophobicity characteristic. Currently, the application of superhydrophobicity in controlling corrosion problem in the marine environment is still new. The development of superhydrophobicity on the materials surface can be achieved by designing a specific texture pattern in micro-or nanometer scale for producing high roughness surface. This review paper is mainly on the laser technology for producing superhydrophobicity characteristic of materials surface. This technique offers the most control and precision over the produced geometry.
X-Ray Diffraction and Dielectric Constant of Lanthanum Doped Barium Titanate Ceramics
Authors: Abdul Hamid Nur Farahin , Osman Rozana Aina Maulat , Idris Mohd Sobri
Published: December 2015

Undoped barium titanate and lanthanum (La) doped barium titanate (BaTiO3) were studied for ferroelectric properties with the formula of Ba1-xLaxTi1-x/4O3 for x=0.1 and being prepared by using conventional solid state method reaction. The pure phase of this composition which x=0 were found at final heating temperatures starting from 1300°C and x=0.1 at 1350°C for overnight in air with intermittent grinding.

The properties of blends made from low density polyethylene (LDPE) with various concentration of jackfruit seeds flour (JSF) with the presence of citric acid (CA) were investigated. The JSF content was varied from 0 to 20 wt%. The JSF were blended with LDPE by using an internal mixer (Brabender) at a temperature of 150°C. The test was carried out by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), with heating temperature of 100C/min. The crystallinity had improved with the presence of CA. However, the crystallinity slightly reduced with the increasing JSF content and further increased with the presence of CA.

Published: December 2015

Fly ash is a waste material from burning coal that can be used to reduce the amount of cement in making concrete and to improve the characteristics of concrete. Besides being able to improve the flowability of fresh concrete, fly ash can also serve to reduce cracking of concrete. But in certain cases, cement paste incorporating fly ash type C (high calcium fly ash) experiences cracks, right after being released from formwork. The purpose of this study were to investigate the causes of cracking of cement paste incorporating fly ash type C, the influence of fly ash variations, and the countermeasures. The evaluation conducted for this experiment were based on visual inspection and compressive strength test of cement paste at 28 days. Test specimens were made in the form of cement paste with fly ash content of 50%, by mass. Fly ash used was of type C taken from three different batches from one source; with fly ash type F from three different sources used for control specimens. Superplasticizer, silica fume, and calcium carbonate were used as additives to evaluate their effect in mitigating cracks. The results show that the use of fly ash type C may cause cracks on the surface of hardened paste. Fly ash content, especially CaO and MgO, are the key factors affecting the cracks tendency on the surface of cement paste, due to expansion. Superplasticizer and silica fume can be used to mitigate cracks of cement paste.

Utilization and suitability of bottom ash in Portland cement have been increasing significantly in recent year. Bottom ash has substantial effects on mechanical properties with different composition of replacement in mixture of bottom ash and Portland cement. Bottom ash was used to determine the feasibility of the substitution as recycling product from industry depending on the percentage of the bottom ash. On the other hand, bottom ash offers a better solution for maintaining materials characteristic of Portland cement mortar and also provide beneficial mechanical performance. The result of using bottom ash in Portland cement mortar showed that it could make better the mechanical properties and hence disposed bottom ash wastes safely in technical, economic and environmental methods.

This paper is to study the dielectric properties, magnetic properties, and dielectric conductivity of Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and polyester (PE) composites. The composites with different amount of MWCNTs (5-15%) have been studied in the Ku-Band range (12.4-18 GHz). The rectangular waveguide (WR-62) was used to measure the dielectric properties and magnetic properties of the samples. The results show the dielectric properties and conductivity of MWCNTs/PE composites is increasing with the MWCNTs filler increases. The real part of dielectric properties values increase from 5.5 to 26.6 with increasing the MWCNTs loading from 5 % to 15 %. The increasing of MWCNTs filler in the MWCNTs/PE composites does not effects on magnetic properties, the real part and imaginary part of magnetic properties are approximate to 1 and 0. The highest conductivity of 15 % MWCNTs loading is reach to 11.02 (S/m) at 18 GHz.

Cure characteristics and physical properties of EPDM/rNBR filled bamboo fillers were studied. Results indicated that the addition of bamboo fillers has significant effects on EPDM/rNBR blends. The scorch time, t2 decreased up to 25 phr fillers loading but increased further to 50 phr fillers loading. Cure time, t90 increases as the increase in bamboo fillers in the blends. At a similar blend ratio fine sizes bamboo fillers in EPDM/rNBR (S1: ≤125μm) exhibited higher value of t2 ad t90 compared to EPDM/rNBR (S2: 125-250μm & S3: 250-500μm). The minimum torque, ML also increases with increasing bamboo fillers in the blend. Meanwhile, the maximum torque, MH of the EPDM/rNBR filled bamboo fillers were in contrast. The hardness and degree of crosslink density of the blends increased with the increase in bamboo fillers and reduce percentage of resilience at all blends. The fine sizes of bamboo fillers contributed to the better properties compared to the coarse sizes and medium sizes.

The importance of knowing dielectric value on a medium is to perceive the capability of conducting electromagnetic wave. Most of failure on electromagnetic instruments, were due to an inaccuracy of selecting material. Improper usage of materials may cause the attenuation of electromagnetic energy. So, it is important to measure the attenuation value. In this study, we compared the attenuation value on three media such as clay, silicon and wood. The problem mentioned above, could resolved by applying the electromagnetic propagation formula using skylab program. In this study we compared the effect constitutive parameters to the attenuation value and frequency in three media. The result shows, among three materials, at the same frequency we obtain that electromagnetic energy much easily attenuated on clay compared to other materials followed by silicon and wood. The reason is due to the conductivity value. In this study, we obtain that clay is the most sensitive on attenuation value on frequency followed by silicon and wood.

This work is a preliminary study to investigate the growth of carbon nanofibres (CNFs) on monolayer graphene. The growth of CNFs on graphene has been performed by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) using ferrocene as the catalyst precursor and acetone as the carbon source. Ferrocene in acetone is introduced to the system via spray coating onto the substrate. Graphene film used in this study is grown on nickel (Ni) thin film, which is confirmed to be monolayer. Aligned CNTs are unintentionally obtained, however only at the graphene/Ni thin film edges.
