On the mathematical theory of plumes
Creators: name: Garvey, Robert
name: Fowler, Andrew
Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2023
Subjects: Mathematical sciences

description: We reconsider the theory of turbulent plume formation provided by Schmidt (1941a,b) and its integral formulation, particularly that of Morton et al. (1956). A particular issue for the correct formulation of a mathematical theory is whether the plume is taken to have finite or infinite width, and whether the entrainment rate is prescribed or deduced. Fox (1970) showed that the entrainment rate for a plume can be deduced from the governing partial differential equations by the use of integral moment theory, providing one assumes expressions for the velocity and buoyancy profiles, but it is less clear if entrainment needs to be prescribed if the plume is taken to be of infinite width (as might be appropriate for a laminar plume). Here we choose an eddy viscosity model of a plume which differs from those previously used by allowing the eddy viscosity to vanish with the vertical velocity. We then show that for the ordinary differential equations describing the similarity solution for such a plume rising in an unstratified medium, their solution implies that the plume is finite, and that the entrainment rate at the plume edge is a consequence of the model formulation, and does not need to be hypothesised; and we also show that the entrainment coefficient which is thus determined is consistent with values obtained by experiment. We also show that the resulting velocity profiles differ from those found experimentally by their omission of the Gaussian tail, and we suggest that this discrepancy may be resolved in the model by the inclusion of the small molecular kinematic viscosity.

description: A novel method is proposed to determine the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of a relativistic few-cycle laser pulse via the central frequency of the isolated light generated from Thomson backscattering (TBS). We theoretically investigate the generation of a uniform flying mirror when a few-cycle drive pulse with relativistic intensity ($I > 10^{18} {\rm{W} \mathord{/ {\vphantom {\rm{W} {\rm{cm}^{\rm{2}}}}}. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\rm{cm}^{\rm{2}}}}$) interacts with a target combined with a thin and a thick foil. The central frequency of the isolated TBS light generated from the flying mirror shows a sensitive dependence on the CEP of the drive pulse. The obtained results are verified by one dimensional particle in cell (1D-PIC) simulations.

description: We propose a mechanism for subwavelength focusing at optical frequencies based on the use of a tapered microtube fabricated from a glass capillary tube. Using coherent illumination at 671nm and a near-field scanning optical microscope probe which was mounted on a 3-axis piezo nanopositioning stage, a sequence of 2-D intensity profiles were obtained. Our experimental results reveal the smallest focal spot with a near diffraction-limited full width at half-maximum of ~435nm(0.65λ)at a distance of ~1.47μm (2.2λ) from the output endface of microtube. The experimental results are in excellent agreement with our numerical simulation.

Simulating water for computer graphics : particle-in-cell, explicit surfaces, and discontinuous Galerkin
Creators: name: Edwards, Essex
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: We propose several advances in the simulation of fluids for computer graphics. We concentrate on particle-in-cell methods and related sub-problems. We develop high-order accurate extensions to particle-in-cell methods demonstrated on a variety of equations, including constrained dynamics with implicit-explicit time integration. We track the liquid-air interface with an explicit mesh, which we show how to do in a provably exact fashion. To address the mismatched simulation and surface resolution, we solve the partial differential equations in each time step with with a p-adaptive discontinuous Galerkin discretization. This allows us to use a coarse regular grid for the entire simulation. For solving the resulting linear system, we propose a novel mostly-algebraic domain decomposition preconditioner that automatically creates a coarse discontinuous Galerkin approximation of the problem.

description: We explore the longitude-velocity distribution of 6.7-GHz methanol masers in the context of the inner structure of our Galaxy. We analyse the correlation in velocities within this distribution and identify density enhancements indicating large-scale regions of enhanced star formation. These are interpreted as the starting points of the spiral arms and the interaction of the Galactic bar with the 3-kpc arms. The methanol masers support the presence of a long thin bar with a 45 degree orientation. Signatures of the full 3-kpc arm structure are seen, including a prominent tangent at approximately -22 degrees Galactic longitude. We compare this distribution with existing models of the gas dynamics of our Galaxy. The 3-kpc arm structure appears likely to correspond to the radius of corotation resonance of the bar, with the bar on its inner surface and the starting points of the spiral arms on its outer surface.

The magnetic quiet zone in the eastern Gulf of Aden: implications for the early development of the continental margin

Year: 1982

subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: The ‘magnetic quiet zone’ in the eastern Gulf of Aden is located between the oceanic crust of Sheba Ridge and the continental crust of Arabia and Somalia, and is separated from both by important structural boundaries. The seaward boundary is marked by the end of the seafloor spreading magnetic anomaly sequence and by a basement depth discontinuity. The landward boundary is marked by escarpments made up of a series of normal faults. These escarpments extend from 2-3km below sea-level to 1500m above sea-level and are equivalent of the ‘hinge zone’ found at mature continental margins. The magnetic field in the quiet zone is flat in some areas and in others is characterized by anomalies of up to several hundred gammas which are correlatable over distances of up to about 20 km and which appear related to basement topography. The basement lacks the topographic slope characteristic of mid-ocean ridge flanks and is characterized by moderately rough relief. The crustal structure appears quite heterogeneous and where the crustal thicknesses have been determined, they are slightly greater than those of oceanic crust. New heat flow measurements show high values (95.7--123.3 mW m-2) in the quiet zone with values decreasing from Sheba Ridge toward the coast. The unusual structure of the quiet zone and the observations that more opening appears to have occurred between Arabia and Somalia than can be accounted for by the oceanic crust of Sheba Ridge leads to the suggestion that the magnetic quiet zone was generated by diffuse extension of continental crust through a combination of rotational (listric) faulting and dyke injection. This possibility is investigated using both a ‘stretching’ or ‘lithospheric attenuation’ model and a model in which a portion of the extension occurs through dyke injection. It is found that these models can adequately match the observed heat flow and basement depths although very large amounts of extension (0 = 4-6) are required in the deep seaward portion of the quiet zone. This results in more extension than is compatible with the documented motion between Arabia and Africa. However, formation of the magnetic quiet zone occurred over a period of 10-15 Myr rather than instantaneously as assumed in the simple models. When the effects of a finite length rifting episode are considered, less extension is required and the observed geophysical data are consistent with a diffuse extension origin for the magnetic quiet zone.

description: In der vorliegenden Forschungsarbeit nehme ich einen Aspekt der aktivistischen Bildung unter die Lupe, nämlich die Frage nach der Diversität und Inklusivität im Bildungsbereich der linken sozialen Bewegungen in Deutschland. Trotz der scheinbaren Selbstverständlichkeit, dass die linke Bildung weit zugänglich und egalitär sein sollte, scheinen die Ausschluss- und Hierarchisierungsmechanismen der öffentlichen und privaten Bildungssysteme sich im aktivistischen Bildungsbereich zu wiederholen und zu reproduzieren. Wegen der illusorischen Gleichheit und Einheit in den linken Einsichten und im Lebensstil bleiben diese internen Logiken der linken sozialen Bewegungen meistens unsichtbar und unreflektiert. Mit diesem thematischen Schwerpunkt oszilliert meine Forschungsarbeit an der Schnittstelle zwischen Bewegungsforschung, emanzipatorischer Pädagogikforschung und einer Untersuchung zu sozialen Diskriminierungen und zur Inklusion. Den theoretischen Kontext meiner Recherche bildet der Bereich der politischen Bildung und des informellen Lernens. Ich nehme dabei sowohl die Debatten zu den Beteiligungsstrukturen und sozialer Ungleichheit im Bildungsbereich in den Blick, als auch die Forschung zu sozialen Bewegungen in Bezug auf interne Machtverhältnisse und bewegungsinterne Debatten zu Hierarchien sowie der Umverteilung von Wissen und Ressourcen innerhalb von aktivistischen Kreisen.
description: In this dissertation, I take a closer look at one aspect of activist education, namely the question of diversity and inclusivity in the educational work of left social movements in Germany. Despite the apparent truism that left education should be widely accessible and egalitarian, the mechanisms of exclusion and hierarchization proper to the public and private education systems seem to be replicated and reproduced in the activist education sector. Because of the illusions of equality and unity associated with leftist insights and lifestyles, the internal logics of left social movements remain mostly invisible and unreflected. With this thematic focus, my research oscillates at the interface of movement research, emancipatory pedagogical research and an investigation of social discrimination and inclusion. The theoretical context of my research is the field of political education and informal learning. I focus on debates about participation structures and social inequality in education, as well as on research into social movements, their internal power relations and movement-internal debates on hierarchies and the redistribution of knowledge and resources within activist circles.

description: We report an Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) radio-continuum observations of 26 planetary nebulae (PNe) at wavelengths of 3 and 6 cm. This sample of 26 PNe were taken from the Macquarie/AAO/Strasbourg Halpha PNe (MASH) catalogue and previous lists. We investigate radio detection quality including measured and derived parameters for all detected or marginally detected PNe from this combined sample. Some 11 objects from the observed sample have been successfully detected and parametrized. Except for one, all detected PNe have very low radio surface brightnesses. We use a statistical distance scale method to calculate distances and ionised masses of the detected objects. Nebulae from this sample are found to be large (>0.2 pc in diameter) and highly diluted which indicates old age. For 21 PNe from this sample we list integrated Halpha fluxes and interstellar extinction coefficients, either taken from the literature or derived here from the Balmer decrement and radio to Halpha ratio methods. Finally, our detected fraction of the MASH pilot sample is relatively low compared to the non-MASH sub-sample. We conclude that future radio surveys of the MASH sample must involve deeper observations with better uv coverage in order to increase the fraction of detected objects and improve the quality of the derived parameters.

description: Evaluation is a process of measuring effectiveness of any educational or planned activity. It helps to judge the performance of learners as well as the school functionaries. It also provides the baseline data on various aspects of institution on which the development can be built upon. Evaluation is thus a study which permits a vigorous scientific measurement of the effectiveness of educational activity and also a means of modifying the particular component in the light of facts turned up in the process of evaluation. The paper deals with some questions: why evaluation?, difference between evaluation and assessment, who can evaluate the School?, Indicators of quality assessment of school, types evaluation, What to Evaluate for achieving school standards?, tools of school assessment (a quality model of school assessment), and how to assess school standards?, and some suggestion for quality evaluation of schools blended with material and spiritual values. The investigator stresses on attitude of evaluator has great importance for development of the schools. To set up an effective and functional monitoring and evaluation system, it is essential to identify critical areas for which information is necessary for continual improvement of the school. The assessment would bring many known but not articulated realities. It also brings some unknown elements of the institution into sharp focus. Since the purpose of the institution is to understand the relative strengths and weaknesses for the sole purpose of development. Many functionaries may be involved in the assessment process. Participative process is the cardinal principle of quality management of school system.

O conflito originado por esta situação é revelador de determinadas características da sociedade portuguesa nos anos que imediatamente se seguem à Restauração de 1640. Em primeiro lugar, permite compreender o conceito de Inquisição existente no interior da Companhia de Jesus. Por outro lado, a contenda demonstra qual o estilo de actuação do Tribunal do Santo Ofício no seio da sociedade portuguesa. Finalmente, o modo como D. João IV soluciona a questão, é esclarecedor da relação de poder que, em 1643, existe entre a Coroa e a Inquisição.

description: New marine geophysical data are used to describe the structure and history of the Gulf of Aden. Magnetic anomaly data shows seafloor spreading magnetic anomalies on Sheba Ridge from the axial anomaly to anomaly 5 (10 m.y. B.P.) between the Owen fracture zone and 45°E and to anomaly 2' (3 m.y. B.P.) or anomaly 3 (4 m.y. B.P.) west of 45°E. The data does not support the two episodes of seafloor spreading recently proposed. Landward of the seafloor spreading magnetic anomalies is a magnetic quiet zone of uncorrelatable anomalies. The magnetic quiet zone boundary is also a structural boundary effectively marking the edge of Sheba Ridge, with deeper basement lacking a significant topographic gradient found on the landward side. A magnetic quiet zone is found not only where Sheba Ridge splits continental lithosphere but also on East Sheba Ridge where the ridge splits the old oceanic lithosphere of the Owen and Somali basins. There the position occupied by the continental margin within the gulf is marked by nonmagnetic ridge complexes that stretch from the continents to the Owen fracture zone. The magnetic quiet zone boundary is not an isochron in either the Gulf of Aden or the Red Sea, suggesting that significant horizontal motions can occur prior to the initiation of seafloor spreading. The offset on the Dead Sea Rift is used to estimate that from 80 to 160 km of opening, amounting to between 65% and 200% extension of the initial rift valley, occurred in the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea prior to the establishment of a mid-ocean ridge. It is suggested that the development of a new ocean basin occurs in two stages. The first involves diffuse extension over an area perhaps 100 km wide in a rift valley environment without an organized spreading center. This is followed by concentration of the extension at a single axis and the beginning of true seafloor spreading.

Using this new solution, the behaviour of the Weyl functions is elucidated in terms of the compactness for different stellar distributions.

description: Certificateless public key cryptography simplifies the complex certificate management in the traditional public key cryptography and resolves the key escrow problem in identity-based cryptography. Many certificateless authenticated key agreement protocols using bilinear pairings have been proposed. But the relative computation cost of the pairing is approximately twenty times higher than that of the scalar multiplication over elliptic curve group. Recently, several certificateless authenticated key agreement protocols without pairings were proposed to improve the performance. In this paper, we propose a new certificateless authenticated key agreement protocol without pairing. The user in our just needs to compute five scale multiplication to finish the key agreement. We also show the proposed protocol is secure in the random oracle model.

What Isn't a Cross-Cultural Adaptation, and, If You Know That, Then What Isn’t a Cross-Cultural Text?
Creators: name: Leitch, Thomas
Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2019

description:

This essay begins by asking why the term ‘cross-cultural adaptation’ should not be extended from adaptations that cross national borders to adaptations that cross temporal, historical, linguistic, medial, and gendered borders. Unlike some theorists who have attempted to define away the problems that arise when the term ‘cross-cultural adaptation’ is extended so broadly that it courts ambiguity, circularity, and redundancy by referring instead to ‘transnational adaptation’, the essay takes those problems as its subject. It suggests that adaptations police and valorize the cultural borders they cross by performing them as borders and the cultures they demarcate as cultures. Since cultures and the borders between them cannot be described without performing them, the essay concludes that the term ‘cross-cultural adaptation’ is as defensible as any other for describing – that is, for performing – the cultural work that adaptations do.

Characterizing and refactoring asynchronous JavaScript callbacks
Creators: name: Gallaba, Keheliya
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Modern web applications make extensive use of JavaScript, which is now estimated to be one of the most widely used languages in the world. Callbacks are a popular language feature in JavaScript. However, they are also a source of comprehension and maintainability issues. We studied several features of callback usage across a large number of JavaScript applications and found out that over 43 of all callback-accepting function call sites are anonymous, the majority of callbacks are nested, and more than half of all callbacks are invoked asynchronously. Promises have been introduced as an alternative to callbacks for composing complex asynchronous execution flow and as a robust mechanism for error checking in JavaScript. We use our observations of callback usage to build a developer tool that refactors asynchronous callbacks into Promises. We show that our technique and tool is broadly applicable to a wide range of JavaScript applications.

The mission statement of the online creative commerce platform Etsy declares its commitment to “using the power of business to strengthen communities and empower people”. Among the many handmade and vintage items sold on Etsy are 3,811 items quoting Helena’s description of Hermia from A Midsummer Night’s Dream (“and though she be but little, she is fierce”). This journal paper will examine the relationship between Shakespeare and the predominantly female crafts people who operate through platforms such as these as well as Shakespeare’s own depiction of female craft and handcrafted items. It seeks to explore the processes at work in Shakespeare-inspired merchandise and the relationship they claim to the play texts they adapt. The paper will continue by situating ‘female’ oriented creative work within the current political climate and exploring both the possibilities and limitations of craft as a vehicle for political resistance.

Somali Basin, Chain Ridge, and origin of the Northern Somali Basin gravity and geoid low

description: The Northern Somali Basin, located between Chain Ridge and the Horn of Africa north of 4°N, is characterized by a distinct 5-m geoid low and by large negative gravity anomalies. The boundaries of the basin are marked by steep gradients in both gravity and geoid. Basement in Northern Somali Basin is 1-2 km deeper than on the Carlsberg Ridge flank to the southeast or on the Sheba Ridge flank to the north with a sharp discontinuity across the boundary of the basin. The Western Somali Basin, to the south, was created in the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous by the movement of Madagascar away from Africa. Reinterpretation of the magnetic anomalies in the Western Somali Basin shows that they record both limbs of a mid-ocean ridge that was active by M22 time (Kimmeridgian) and died soon after MO (Aptian). Magnetic and gravity data allow the relict ridge crest to be traced from Davie Ridge near the African coast to the Dhow-VLCC-ARS fracture zone complex at 50øE. Davie Ridge is a transform fault connecting the Western Somali Basin spreading center with a similar age spreading center in the Mozambique Basin. The Dhow-VLCC-ARS complex can be shown to continue north of the 4°N bathymetric high separating the Northern and Western Somali Basins and to intersect the African margin near 7°N. The Northern Somali Basin thus appears to be the third of a series of oceanic basins separated by long transform faults created during movement between East and West Gondwanaland. The original Northern Somali Basin was split apart by the northward motion of India in the Late Cretaceous and Chain Ridge formed along the new boundary. Thermal and gravity modeling shows that the flexure resulting from differential subsidence across Chain Ridge combined with the difference in lithospheric thermal structure (Late Jurassic vs. Early Tertiary) on either side of it explains well the amplitude and shape of the observed geoid step and gravity anomalies across Chain Ridge. The geoid step up from the basin up to the African coast can be modeled as an edge effect between the juxtaposed Jurassic oceanic and African continental crust. Thus, the geoid and gravity low over the Northern Somali Basin results from the superposition of a continental edge effect anomaly and the fracture zone edge effect anomaly.

Numa época de transição detectar-se-ão nos três autores posições que nos parecem, hoje, contraditórias; constatar-se-á o papel que nos três a fé cristã teve na emergência destes temas, e que partilham um ponto central para o surgimento da concepção de direitos humanos: a noção da unidade fundamental da humanidade.

Mindful self-focus–an interaction affecting Theory of Mind?

Subjects: subject: 150 Psychologie

description: Is thinking about oneself helpful or harmful for understanding other people? The answer might depend on how a person thinks about themself. Mindfulness is one prominent construct that seems to affect the quality and content of a person’s thoughts about themselves in the world. Thus, we hypothesize that the relationship between self-focus and Theory of Mind (ToM) is moderated by mindfulness. We evaluate our hypothesis with a large cross-sectional dataset (N = 543) of native and non-native German and English speakers using OLS and MM-estimated robust multiple regression analysis. We found a small but robust self-focus × mindfulness interaction effect on ToM so that there was a significant positive relation between self-focus and ToM for more mindful individuals and no significant relation for less mindful individuals. The findings support our hypothesis that mindfulness moderates the relationship between self-focus and ToM performance. We discuss the limitations and differences between the present study and previous findings.
Narrative Suspense in Edgar Allan Poe and Alfred Hitchcock
Creators: name: Indrusiak, Elaine
Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2019

description:

This article explores the construction of narrative suspense in Edgar Allan Poe’s and Alfred Hitchcock’s works. Central to their creations is a dual narrative structure that builds tension by articulating two stories in one. Narratological analyses of Poe’s tales and of Hitchcock’s thrillers indicate that their suspense does not stem from gothic topoi, but from plots skilfully wrought to manipulate the readers/viewers’ attention. The first part of the article introduces the concept of narrative suspense. Next, structural principles defended by Poe and Hitchcock are presented. The last two parts discuss narrative techniques in the works by both authors. Given the authors’ influence within their respective media, the analysis has implications for studies of the short story and of the suspense thriller as a narrative genre.

description:

his article discusses changes in central metaphors through which contemporary adaptation studies strive to chart the enormous territory of film adaptations that exists today. Previously concerned with privileging literary texts over their media ‘replays’, these ‘new wave’ studies tend to prioritize other aspects of the adaptation process: intertextual overwriting (Stam 2005), reappropriation of the literary past for the sake of the present (Sanders 2015), exploitation of literature (Cartmell 2017), etc. Departing from the metaphor of ‘competition’ between media (Jameson 2011), we suggest that the adaptation process be discussed as the art of expansion. The key issue in this research lies in bringing to the forefront the filmmaker’s visual poetics and the place his/her adaptation has among other cinematic works of the same period. This article shows how Marleen Gorris’s Mrs. Dalloway (1997) reveals its ‘expansive’ potential when read both through the lens of the heritage film style and the previous filmmaker’s work, Antonia’s Line (1995).

description: We consider hyperplane arrangements generated by generic points and study their intersection lattices. These arrangements are known to be equivalent to discriminantal arrangements. We show a fundamental structure of the intersection lattices by decomposing the poset ideals as direct products of smaller lattices corresponding to smaller dimensions. Based on this decomposition we compute the Möbius functions of the lattices and the characteristic polynomials of the arrangements up to dimension six.

description: Down syndrome (DS) phenotypes result from triplicated genes, but it is generally unknown how specific three copy human chromosome 21 (Hsa21) orthologous genes or interactions between genes affect these traits. A mouse mapping panel genetically dissecting Hsa21 syntenic regions was used to investigate the contributions and interactions triplicated Hsa21 orthologous genes on mouse chromosome 16 (Mmu16). Four-month-old femurs of male and female Dp9Tyb, Dp2Tyb, Dp3Tyb, Dp4Tyb, Dp5Tyb, Dp6Tyb, Ts1Rhr, and Dp1Tyb;Dyrk1a+/+/- mice were analyzed by micro-computed tomography and 3-point bending to assess skeletal structure and mechanical properties. Male and female Dp1Tyb mice, with the entire Hsa21 homologous region of Mmu16 in three copies, display specific bone deficits similar to humans with DS and were used as a baseline comparison for the other strains in the panel. Bone phenotypes varied based on triplicated gene content, sex, and bone compartment. Three copies of Dyrk1a played a sex-specific, essential role in trabecular deficits and may interact with other genes to influence cortical deficits related to DS. Triplicated genes in Dp9Tyb and Dp2Tyb mice improved some skeletal deficits. As triplicated genes may both improve and worsen bone deficits, it is important to understand the interaction between and molecular mechanisms of skeletal alterations affected by these genes.

description: In the European legal tradition, legal researches typically do not have access to court documents to the same extent as in the USA. This has partially changed in 2015, when the Archives of the Court of Justice of the European Union first became available for public consultation. This Article inspects the dossier de procédure in the Opinion 1/75 case and discusses how our knowledge of the case itself, and the development of EU law more generally, may be enhanced as a result of the availability of the archival material. Through analysing the dossier, the Article demonstrates, on the basis of internal communication between the members of the Court, that there was an atmosphere of novelty and urgency within the Court at the time and that the entire procedure was considerably micro-managed by President Lecourt. As the Court did not report the arguments the parties made in the Opinion, they are revealed for the first time as the submissions of the actors in the proceedings are made available. Analysing these arguments demonstrates that there was a kompetenz-kompetenz dimension to the case which remained hitherto hidden and unnoticed in scholarship as arguments to this effect were ignored by the Court when ruling on admissibility. It also demonstrates that when deciding on merits, the Court routinely responded to some types of arguments (textual, literalistic) and routinely ignored others (factual, practical, policy), while devising some of them (teleological) proprio motu. These new findings complete the existing historical narratives about Opinion 1/75.
Amenos Desertos (em torno das Éclogas de Frei Agostinho da Cruz)

description: A partir da análise das éclogas de Frei Agostinho da Cruz verifica-se que este autor se comporta do mesmo modo que os seus contemporâneos, tomando por modelo, sobretudo, Sannazaro, apesar da familiaridade com Virgílio, Garcilaso e os poetas portugueses da geração anterior. Contudo, ao colocar a sua prática poética ao serviço do ideal cristão por que se rege, nomeadamente ao aproximar o discurso bucólico do discurso bíblico, este autor acrescenta ao universo pastoril uma nova dimensão significativa que merece a nossa atenção.

Thermal consequences of lithospheric extension: Pure and simple

description: Simple shear and pure shear extension of the lithosphere produce very different patterns of heat flow and topography. These differences are investigated using a numerical technique which solves for two-dimensional conductive and advective heat transport through time. Simple shear extension of the lithosphere is modeled as occurring along a straight shear zone. Two parameters define the simple shear model: the dip of the shear zone and its width. Likewise, the pure shear model is defined by two variables: the initial width of a vertical zone of pure shear extension and the rate of change of its width. These pairs of parameters are varied between calculations, as is the overall rate of extension. Each model results in distinct patterns of crustal thinning, lithospheric thermal structure, heat flow, thermal uplift, crustal subsidence, and topography. For the simple shear model, extension results in asymmetric uplift across the rift, while the total volume of uplift is limited by the total amount of extension. The peak heat flow and thermal uplift are centered over the intersection of the shear zone with the surface. Isostatic response to simple shear extension results in successive, formerly active shear zones being rotated into listric faults which sole into a sub-horizontal detachment. The pure shear results show that the surface heat flow is greater for smaller widths of the zone of extension. For the same overall extension rate, a pure shear model with a narrow zone of extension can result in pressure release melting of the mantle long before low angle simple shear models. These results are compared with topographic and heat flow data from the northern Red Sea rift, a Neogene continental rift which is close to initiating seafloor spreading. The long wavelength topographic asymmetry across the Red Sea, which has been cited as evidence for simple shear extension of the lithosphere, is not matched by any of the models. The observed high heat flow anomalies in the Red Sea require a large component of pure shear lithospheric extension centered under the region of maximum crustal extension. In contrast, at the plate separation rate of the northern Red Sea, simple shear extension of the lithosphere along a shallow ( <30° ) dip detachment is ineffective in reproducing the observed heat flow anomalies. Only a narrowing region of pure shear extension can satisfy the width of the rift, and the peak heat flow values and generate pressure release melting
Adapting Shakespeare around the Globe

Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia

description:

In the past two decades, the rejection of the fidelity criterion has led to the release of a multitude of films that rework and appropriate canonical literary works to suit local political goals. The works of William Shakespeare have been some of the main beneficiaries of this new direction, as indicated by the significant number of appropriations, remediations, and ‘tradaptations’ (translations-adaptations) that have turned Shakespeare into a global figure. In this article I focus on two film adaptations of Othello, O (Nelson, 2001) and Omkara (Bhardwaj, 2006), that recontextualize the play’s narrative content into two different settings at the turn of the millennia: the American South and India. My aim is to highlight the manner in which the two films repurpose the content of the play in order to reveal the tensions that mark the two local cultures. Early modern concerns such as miscegenation, female sexuality, and religious and racial otherness are appropriated and represented along new cultural coordinates that reflect the anxieties of the two new local cultures. For example, in O, the issue of miscegenation is translated in accordance with the racism that marks the conservative American South, while in Omkara miscegenation is translated as the conflict between two Indian views on marriage: the traditional one that advocates arranged marriages, and the modern one that supports love marriages.
