Not Notorious Enough: The Transnational Feminism of Ang Lee's Lust, Caution and Its American Reception
Authors: Hamer Molly 
Published: April 2012

Abstract
In Ang Lee's most recent film, Lust, Caution (2007), Lee's studentturned- spy heroine could best be described as a moviegoer (Fig. 1). Early in the film, her target wonders, "What do you like?" She responds, "Going to the movies." Lee provides us with evidence of his heroine's movie-going; Chiah Chih weeps through Intermezzo (1939) (Fig. 2), seeks solace in a showing of Penny Serenade (1941), and examines a poster advertising Suspicion (1941) (Fig. 3). Notably, Lee depicts his heroine absorbed and even moved to tears by American films, with differences of culture, nation, and language irrelevant to Chiah Chih's appreciation for Hollywood cinema. In contrast with Chiah Chih's passionate response to these extra-national films, the release of Lee's Chinese-language Lust, Caution left the majority of American critics cold.
Exoticized Heroine or Hybrid Woman? Diasporic Female Subjectivity in Mira Nair's Mississippi Masala
Authors: Banerjee Bidisha 
Published: April 2012

Abstract
For diasporic populations, the space of diaspora, whether it be the space of home or of nation, is often a fragmented and unsafe space that must be bounded and controlled in order to make that space one's own,. Often it becomes incumbent upon the women to carry the burden of the creation of diaspora space. As essentialized representatives of a nation's cultural identity, women's bodies mark the boundaries of the national imaginary. The desire for a safe, familiar, clearly defined space to call one's own within diaspora, leads to the essentialized notion of home and nation where the female body symbolically represents an ossified notion of native culture as well as the nation itself.1 Thus, any transgression on her part becomes akin to a violation of the family, the home, the community, and finally the nation within the space of diaspora.
Crossing Genres: A Study of Johnnie To's Stylized Films

Abstract
The Hong Kong film industry entered its downturn in the mid-1990s, seeing a sharp fall of both annual production quantity and box office revenues from 1994, with a reduction in the number of film production companies, and a collapse of the cinema exhibition system being the major symptoms (Zhao, 2007: 346-348). There were small ups and downs during the last decade, yet, as a whole, the decline of the industry is incontrovertible.

Disrupting the Genre: Unforeseen Personifications in Chopin
Authors: Parakilas James 
Published: April 2012

Abstract
What George Sand characterized as the prevalence of “the unforeseen” in Chopin's music can be understood as his programmatic predilection. Within works whose generic titles promise nothing programmatic, he regularly introduces disruptions that announce a previously unsuspected persona in whose mind the music continues to unfold even as that persona brings the premises of the genre under scrutiny. In the Waltz in A♭, op. 42, for instance, a momentary interruption of the waltz beat, like the terminal interruption of the nocturne texture in the Nocturne in B, op. 32, no. 1, produces an ending that tests the capacity of the genre to absorb what most undermines it. In that Nocturne there is a second personifying tension between the genre-establishing texture of singing lines and the genre-challenging daubs of inconsistent damper-pedal coloring, drawing attention to the hand of the composer at work and therefore—if we adopt the insight of Chopin's artistic interlocutor Eugène Delacroix—to his thinking presence. The Mazurka in C Minor, op. 56, no. 3, represents a reverse strategy. There an imagining mind is personified from the beginning, restlessly searching through a catalog of mazurka features, and it is only in the coda, when the music settles into its genre as dance music, that the persona—the element of the unforeseen—retreats.
Chopin's Ghosts
Authors: Boczkowska Ewelina 
Published: April 2012

Abstract
Chopin's Stuttgart diary, written in a state of fear for his loved ones after the defeat of the anti-Russian insurrection in fall 1831, reveals the exiled composer's emotional distress and morbid alienation. Chopin's intense feelings of mourning lent his imagination a peculiar fascination with the morbid. References to corpses and allusions to ghosts in the diary reflect a profound trauma caused by the uncertainty of his personal situation and his awareness of the political crisis. The Stuttgart crisis is only one of numerous instances in which Chopin mapped his personal losses onto the broader fate of those Poles forced into exile after the failure of the uprising. This identification with the estranged community was capable of producing a deeply subjective experience of haunting. Chopin's music carries a poignant relationship to loss and melancholia, exemplified in this article by the Étude, op. 10, no. 12 (“Revolutionary”), the Nocturne, op. 15, no. 3, and the Funeral March from the Piano Sonata, op. 35. These traits have prompted recent films by Andrzej Zulawski and Zbig Rybczynski to adopt Chopin's music as a means of collective mourning in post-Communist Poland.
Chopin Dreams: The Mazurka in C# Minor, Op. 30, No. 4
Authors: Klein Michael 
Published: April 2012

Abstract
This article views Chopin's Mazurka in C# Minor, op. 30, no. 4, as akin to a dream that is open to analysis from a Lacanian perspective. After a discussion of Jacques Lacan's famous orders of subjectivity (the imaginary, the symbolic order, and the Real), the article turns to his idea that a symptom is a message from the Real that demands interpretation. As such, strange moments in Chopin's Mazurka are like symptoms that require multiple interpretations in order to approach their hidden and overlapping meanings. The article proceeds to view Chopin's Mazurka through nineteenth-century notions of Orientalism (alterity), nationalism (nostalgia), coming to life (the automaton), tuberculosis (the boundary of life and death), and the uncanny (fragmentation of the body/mind). But just as Lacan argued that we can never reach a final meaning for a symptom, the article concludes that there can be no transcendental signified for the various symptomatic moments in Chopin's Mazurka. In the end, the Mazurka becomes what Lacan calls a sinthome, a form of subjectivity that is made up of the very symptoms that the subject strives to understand.
Mythologizing Memories: A Critique of the Utah Korean War Memorial
Authors: Choi Suhi 
Published: April 2012

Abstract
Since its fiftieth anniversary, memorialization of the Korean War has taken place in towns and cities across the United States. As a case study of this belated memory boom, this essay looks at the Utah Korean War Memorial, erected by local veterans in 2003 at Memory Grove Park, Salt Lake City. Situated in both the local and national contexts of remembrance, the memorial resonates largely with three mythical scripts, with themes of resilience, local pride, and the good war, all of which have allowed veterans to negotiate tensions between individual and collective memories. This case study reveals in particular how the official commemoration of the war has shifted local veterans' rhetorical positions from potential witnesses of subversive realities of the war to uncritical negotiators whose legitimization of the very process of mythologizing memories has ultimately alienated them from their own experiences during and after the war.

Acculturative Stress, Work‐related Psychosocial Factors and Depression in Korean‐Chinese Migrant Workers in Korea: Hyeonkyeong LEE, et al. Yonsei University College of Nursing, Korea—ObjectivesThe purposes of this study were to identify the relationships among acculturative stress, work‐related psychosocial factors and depression in Korean‐Chinese migrant workers living in Korea and to determine whether work‐related psychosocial factors mediate the relationship between acculturative stress and depression.MethodsA descriptive correlational cross‐sectional design was used. A convenience sample of 200 Korean‐Chinese full‐time migrant workers was recruited, and 170 completed questionnaires were included in the analysis. Acculturative stress was assessed by Sandh and Asrabadi's Acculturative Stress Scale. Work‐related psychosocial factors were assessed by job demand, insufficient job control and interpersonal conflict measures from the Korean Occupational Stress Scale. Depression was assessed by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Self‐administered or face‐to‐face surveys were conducted by trained data collectors. Multiple regression and path analysis were used.ResultsRoughly 30% of the sample met the criteria for depression. Female workers had significantly higher depression scores than male workers. Acculturative stress and work‐related psychosocial factors significantly predicted 26.3% of the variance in depression. A path model revealed the mediating effect of job demand on the relationship between acculturative stress and depression.ConclusionsOur results indicate that Work‐related psychosocial factors are salient factors that lead to depression among Korean‐Chinese migrant workers living in Korea. The results suggest that occupational health‐care professionals should promote the prevention and management of depression in this population and highlight the importance of acculturation context in the development of interventions designed to reduce Work‐related stress.

Published: April 2012

OBJECTIVE:
Because of concerns about the safety and environmental impact of mercury, aneroid sphygmomanometers have replaced mercury-filled devices for blood pressure (BP) measurements. Despite this change, few studies have compared BP measurements between the 2 devices.

METHODS:
The SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study conducted a comparison of aneroid and mercury devices among 193 youth with diabetes (48% boys, aged 12.9 ± 3.7 years; 89% type 1). Statistical analyses included estimating Pearson correlation coefficients, Bland-Altman plots, paired t tests, and fitting regression models, both overall and stratified by age (&lt;10 vs ≥10–18 years).

RESULTS:
Mean mercury and aneroid systolic and diastolic BPs were highly correlated. For the entire group, there was no significant difference in mean systolic BP using the aneroid device, but there was a −1.53 ± 5.06 mm Hg difference in mean diastolic BP. When stratified by age, a lower diastolic BP (−1.78 ± 5.2 mm Hg) was seen in those ≥10 to 18 years using the aneroid device. No differences in systolic BP were observed, and there were no differences in BP by device in individuals &lt;10 years. Regression analyses did not identify any explanatory variables.

CONCLUSIONS:
Although a small discrepancy between diastolic BP measurements from aneroid versus mercury devices exists, this variation is unlikely to be clinically significant, suggesting that either device could be used in research or clinical settings.
The Calculation of Pressure Drop in the Flow of Natural Gas Through Pipe
Authors: Poettmann Fred H. 
Published: April 2012

Abstract
An equation has been derived for use in calculating the sandface pressure of flowing gas wells in which the variation of the compressibility factor of the gas with pressure is taken into consideration. This variation due to compressibility has been put into both graphical and tabular form. Comparison of calculated results with field measured results were made on 20 dry gas wells from a given field and 11 distillate wells from different fields. The agreement between calculated and observed results is good.
In addition to their use in the calculation of sand face pressures of flowing wells, the factors can be used in the direct calculation of the static bottom hole pressure of gas wells, the capacity of gas transmission lines, and in the calculation of the theoretical isothermal horsepower necessary to compress a natural gas. Examples demonstrating the use of various equations are given.

Introduction
Many of the equations used to calculate the sand face pressures of flowing gas wells from well head data do not take into consideration rigorously the deviation of the natural gas from ideal gas behavior. For low pressure wells this error is not serious. For high pressure wells flowing at high rates this error can be serious. Sandface pressures are used to determine the producing capacity of gas wells as shown in the U. S. Bureau of Mines Monograph 7.
An equation has been derived for use in calculating the sand face pressure of flowing gas wells in which the variation of compressibility of the gas with pressure is taken into consideration. This variation due to compressibility has been put into both graphical and tabular form. In addition to their use in the calculation of sandface pressures, these "factors" can also be used to give a direct solution in the calculation of the static bottom hole pressure of gas wells, the calculation of the capacity of gas transmission lines, and the calculation of the isothermal horsepower necessary to compress a gas.
A Simplified Method for Computing Oil Recovery by Gas or Water Drive
Authors: Welge Henry J. 
Published: April 2012

Abstract
The approximate methods which are now in use for calculating oil displacement from reservoirs by gas-cycling or gravity-drainage at constant gas pressure, or by water flooding, make use of fundamental relationships derived by Leverett and Buckley and Leverett. The mathematical equations needed are derived by applying Darcy's law to the flowing phases, and by material balance considerations. In general, any treatment of this type gives, for any particular exploitation time considered, a plot of oil saturation against distance in the reservoir. The oil recovery must then be obtained by integrating in some manner the area under the plot.
A useful analytical method has been derived for computing the average saturation, and hence the oil recovery. Use of this method simplifies the calculations because it makes unnecessary any numerical integrations, and even the saturation distribution plots are not needed. A further advantage of the method is that knowledge of the relative permeabilities is required only for a limited and intermediate saturation range.
In both the Buckley and Leverett method and the method discussed here, a linear sand section is assumed, and in the case of gas drive the gas pressure is assumed sufficiently constant both with respect to reservoir position and time so that changes in gas density, solubility, or reservoir volume factor are negligible. Thus, the exploitation contemplates oil displacement as by an immiscible phase. Examples are given to illustrate how the new method can be used.

Introduction and Theoretical Background
This paper treats a simplified method for computing oil recovery when the oil is displaced from the reservoir sand by a fluid which, within the limits of accuracy desired, can be assumed to be incompressible and immiscible with the oil. The method makes use of two basic relations originally developed for the case of water displacing oil. However, the case of gas displacing oil saturated with gas at a constant (or nearly constant) pressure may also be considered a displacement by an immiscible fluid. This is possible for the reason that the concentration of the gas in the oil never changes if the pressure is fixed. Consequently, any additional free gas must remain undissolved in the oil, and so must act essentially as an immiscible phase. For convenience, the case of gas drive will be considered first.
The Delta-Log, A Differential Temperature Surveying Method
Authors: Basham R.B. , Macune C.W. 
Published: April 2012

Abstract
Very small anomalies in oil well temperatures are detected and measured by recording the difference in temperature existing between two thermally sensitive elements which are spaced several feet apart on a small diameter carrier and lowered into the bore hole. The elements operate in a balanced electrical circuit, sending only a reference signal to the surface as long as normal gradient temperatures are encountered. When either element enters a temperature disturbance, the circuit is unbalanced and produces large recorder deflections for minute anomalies. The system is highly sensitive to small changes in thermal gradients caused by gas or fluid movements and to the boundaries between beds of different thermal conductivities. Typical logs show successful applications of the process to locating gas and water leaks in casing, gas entry, and gas-oil contact.

Introduction
Temperature measurements in oil wells have been made for many years in the search for additional sub-surface data. It has been generally agreed that many conditions in the bore hole cause temperature anomalies which, if located and measured, could yield useful information. But it has been recognized also that many of the irregularities, such as those produced by small water and gas leaks in casing, might be very small and therefore difficult to detect with certainty. Although temperature measurements have been made which show anomalies of less than one degree deviation from normal gradient temperatures, the results are usually uncertain and unconvincing. The general practice, therefore, has been to apply temperature surveys only to well conditions known to produce appreciable disturbances, such as large gas movements and cement hydration.
The recent demand for additional data has focused attention on the problem of making dependable temperature measurements in the many instances when anomalies are small but none the less significant. It was for the purpose of detecting these minute irregularities in bore hole temperature that the program described in the following text was undertaken.
It is emphasized that this presentation is not offered as a complete study, for the process is still partially experimental. But it is believed that the results obtained thus far will be of interest to the industry and will indicate some of the system's potential usefulness.
Experimental Study of Foam Flow in Fractured Oil-Wet Limestone for Enhanced Oil Recovery
Authors: Haugen A.. , Fernø M.A.. A. , Graue A.. , Bertin H.J.. J. 
Published: April 2012

Summary
Our objective was to study foam flow in fractured, oil-wet carbonate rocks and determine if foam may be a viable enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) agent in such reservoirs. We present experimental results in fractured carbonate rock and show effects of wettability on oil recovery when using foam. Oil recovery by water, surfactant, or gas injection exhibited low recovery, less than 10% of original oil in place (OOIP). Oil recovery during injection of pregenerated foam was improved significantly, with up to 78% of OOIP produced. Foam reduced the gas mobility in the fractured rock, increased differential pressure, and diverted flow into the oil-saturated matrix. However, a significant amount of foam injection was required for the additional oil recovery. Generation of foam in-situ was weak in the smooth-walled fractures, and no fluid diversion from the fractures with additional oil recovery was observed. On the basis of the experimental results, mechanisms for foam collapse in the fracture are discussed and possible steps to improve recovery are outlined.
Heavy-Oil Recovery by In-Situ Emulsion Formation
Authors: Kumar R.. , Dao E.. , Mohanty K.K.. K. 
Published: April 2012

Summary
The aim of this work is to evaluate alkaline/surfactant (AS) methods to improve recovery from heavy-oil reservoirs. Alkali/surfactant/oil phase-behavior experiments were conducted to determine conditions under which oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions form. The viscosity (and its shear dependence) was measured for some of these emulsions. Reservoir sand was assembled in sandpacks. Waterflood and AS floods were conducted at several salinities. Several relatively hydrophilic surfactants were identified, which formed O/W emulsions with the reservoir oil at a low concentration in the presence of sodium carbonate. O/W emulsions were favored at low salinity and high water/oil ratio (WOR). Viscosity of these emulsions was low compared with the oil viscosity. Waterflood recovery was on the order of 25 to 40% of the original oil in place (OOIP) in corefloods, and it decreased as the injection rate increased. Following the waterflood, the AS flood gave an incremental oil recovery of 10 to 35% of OOIP. The incremental post-breakthrough oil recovery during the waterflood is likely because of the imbibition of the water from viscous fingers into the unswept oil-saturated zone; this recovery is directly proportional to the square root of time.
Behavior of Dissolved Oxygen in Oil Field Brine
Authors: Bernard George G. , Marsh Glenn A. 
Published: April 2012

Abstract
It is often assumed that aerated oil field brines which are to be injected underground contain dissolved oxygen in amounts which will cause appreciable corrosion. Through the use of a new portable dissolved oxygen meter, accurate determinations were made at three brine conditioning plants. At two older plants, dissolved oxygen concentration in the final treated brine was found to be almost zero in spite of aeration during the conditioning process. At a new plant, dissolved oxygen was initially present but disappeared soon after the brine was "inoculated" with oxygen-free brine from one of the other plants. Corrosion tests at the two older plants have substantiated predictions that the brines would not be corrosive. These results show that mechanical deaeration may not always be required in brine treating plants.

Introduction
The present work was undertaken to add to our knowledge of aeration and deaeration of oil field brines in brine conditioning plants. It is commonly assumed that brines which are exposed to the air soon become more or less saturated with dissolved oxygen. Since oxygen-containing brines are known to be corrosive, precautions are often taken to keep air out of brine through the use of closed systems or mechanical deaeration.
The study of oxygen in brine has been seriously hampered in the past because of the lack of a suitable analytical tool. The standard Winkler method for the determination of dissolved oxygen is satisfactory for use in fresh water, but not in many oil field brines. Corrections have to he made for a number of reducing substances such as ferrous iron and hydrogen sulfide which are commonly present in natural brines. Very often the correction factors are much greater in magnitude than the amounts of oxygen which are to he determined, and consequently erroneous results are obtained. Also, erratic Winkler data are obtained when appreciable concentrations of calcium and magnesium salts are present.
The first step in carrying out a systematic study involved designing a portable dissolved oxygen apparatus which would operate in natural brines. Subsequently, this apparatus was used in three brine conditioning plants. Dissolved oxygen data obtained here, and certain corrosion rate data, illustrate the interesting behavior of oxygen in these oil field brines.
