Encountering ’this season’s retrieval’ : historical fiction, literary postmodernism and the novels of Peter Ackroyd
Creators: name: Grubisic, Brett Josef
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: "Encountering 'this season's retrieval': Historical Fiction, Literary Postmodernism and the Novels of Peter Ackroyd" engages the novels Peter Ackroyd has published, and situates them within broader generic considerations and critical dialogue. Part I, an extended prefatorial apparatus, places Ackroyd and his published fiction within three historicocritical contexts: the problem of author-as-reliable-source and the disparate histories of (a) the historical novel and (b) postmodernism in general (and literary postmodernism in particular). By interrogating the histories and points-of-contention of these areas, this Part aims to problematize critical discourse enveloping Ackroyd's fiction. Part II, comprised of four chapters, discusses specific groupings of Ackroyd's novels. After providing an overview of relevant aspects of the novels and their reception by critics, Chapter A, "Moulding History with Pastiche in The Last Testament of Oscar Wilde. Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem and Milton in America." considers the multiple functioning of pastiche—often considered a mainstay postmodern implement—in Ackroyd's work. The chapter concludes that rather than achieving a singular effect in the novels, pastiche works in divergent manners and confounds the reading of past historical actuality they ostensibly represent. Chapter B, "The Presence of the Past: Comedic and Non-Realist Historicism in The Great Fire of London and First Light." provides an overview of relevant aspects of the novels, and then analyzes how the presence of comedy in otherwise sombre historical fiction interrupts the realism of the narrative. This chapter argues that while camp comic effects disrupt the authority of quasi-historiographic techniques they cannot fully subvert realism and so create a suspensive modality. Chapter C, "PastlPresent: The Uses of History in Hawksmoor. Chatterton. The House of Doctor Dee and English Music." interrogates elements of the past-present fugue trajectories of these novels in order to problematize schematic readings of their supposed cultural politics. Finally, Chapter D, "Those Conventional Concluding Remarks: The Plato Papers. (National) History and Politics," places Ackroyd's most recent novel (one uncharacteristically set in the future) within the preoccupations of his earlier fiction. The chapter concludes with a brief outline of future scholarship that would investigate the national Englishness constructed throughout Ackroyd's biographical and novelistic work.

description: A bio-economic model based upon waterfowl population, habitat, and hunting data in the state of Minnesota is used to examine the optimal management strategy of a waterfowl hunting enterprise on privately owned land. Various state sponsored incentive programs are then analyzed for their effect on hunting and waterfowl equilibrium levels, as well as the economic viability of the hunting enterprise. A waterfowl habitat and maintenance cost reimbursement incentive program is found to be the most effective at inducing additional hunting opportunities in Minnesota, while providing economic incentives for private landowners to actively manage their land.

description: A major advance in accurate electron beam polarization measurement has been achieved at Jlab Hall A with a Compton polarimeter based on a Fabry-Perot cavity photon beam amplifier. At an electron energy of 4.6 GeV and a beam current of 40 uA, a total relative uncertainty of 1.5% is typically achieved within 40 min of data taking. Under the same conditions monitoring of the polarization is accurate at a level of 1%. These unprecedented results make Compton polarimetry an essential tool for modern parity-violation experiments, which require very accurate electron beam polarization measurements.

description: Despite more than a decade of policies placing high priority on cereal intensification, backed by one of the highest rates of public expenditures on agricultural in Africa, Ethiopia has yet to see payoffs in terms of higher and more stable cereal yields, reduced dependency on food aid, improved food security, and lower consumer prices for staples. There is understandable concern about the performance, efficiency and sustainability of the agricultural sector, specifically in terms of the current systems for providing extension services, improved seed, fertilizer, and credit. This paper aims to illuminate possible solutions available to improving the prospects for cereal intensification in Ethiopia. The paper traces the largely state-led policies that have been put in place to stimulate increased cereal productivity and examines the extent to which these policies have had their intended impacts. This review indicates that although Ethiopia has an admirable and sustained record of supporting seed-fertilizer technological intensification in cereals, the related state-led policies have outlived their usefulness, suggesting the need for a rethinking of approaches.

description: In this paper, we construct a class of collapsing spacetimes in vacuum without any symmetries. The spacetime contains a black hole region which is bounded from the past by the future event horizon. It possesses a Cauchy hypersurface with trivial topology which is located outside the black hole region. Based on existing techniques in the literature, the spacetime can in principle be constructed to be past geodesically complete and asymptotic to Minkowski space. The construction is based on a semi-global existence result of the vacuum Einstein equations built on a modified version of the a priori estimates that were originally established by Christodoulou in his work on the formation of trapped surface, and a gluing construction carried out inside the black hole. In particular, the full detail of the a priori estimates needed for the existence is provided, which can be regarded as a simplification of Christodoulou's original argument.

We prove that the squared moment map $||μ||^2$ is constant if and only if $K$ is semisimple and the manifold is $K$-equivariantly symplectomorphic to a product of a flag manifold and a compact symplectic manifold which is acted on trivially by $K$. In the almost-Kähler setting the symplectomorphism turns out to be an isometry.

description: We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopic sample to constrain the projected radial distribution of satellites around isolated ~ L* galaxies. We employ mock galaxy catalogs derived from high-resolution cosmological simulations to investigate the effects of interloper contamination and show that interlopers significantly bias the estimated slope of the projected radial distribution of satellites. We also show that the distribution of interlopers around galaxies is expected to be non-uniform in velocity space because galaxies are clustered and reside in crowded environments. Successful methods of interloper contamination correction should therefore take into account environments of the host galaxies. Two such new methods are presented and the most reliable of them is used to correct for interloper contamination in analyses of the SDSS galaxy sample. The best fit power-law slope of the interloper-corrected surface density distribution of satellites, Sigma(R) ~ R^alpha, in the volume-limited SDSS sample is alpha ~ -1.7 +/- 0.1, independent of the galaxy and satellite luminosities. Comparison with Lambda-CDM simulations shows that the radial distribution of the SDSS satellites is more concentrated than that of subhalos around galaxy-sized halos, especially at R < 100 kpc/h. The predicted dark matter radial distribution is somewhat more concentrated than the profile of the SDSS satellites, but the difference is not statistically significant for our sample.

We have observed dramatic modification of the lineshape with increasing of in-plane component of magnetic field as well as with increasing of transverse built-in electric field in the well. Scenario of the modification shows that the energy spectrum asymmetry is determined by so-called toroidal moment of the system and is a function of Landau quantum number. Macroscopic self-organization of electrons under the conditions of quantum Hall effect has also been directly demonstrated in both linear and saturation regimes of the light absorption.

description: In present article the radiative thermal current and radiative resistance are introduced and investigated in a system of parallel slabs. The system is placed in an environment with a constant temperature and subjected to a constant temperature gradient, which causes a radiative energy flux through the system. We have calculated the steady-state temperatures profile of the system, assuming that the material and thickness of the middle slab could be different from the other slabs. We propose the exact formulation for calculating the thermal current and thermal resistances in both linear and nonlinear regimes. According to our results, the middle slab acts as a thermal barrier and depending on the width of this barrier, an extreme thermal isolation is achievable. Simulation results indicate that the thermal resistance of the barrier is an increasing function of the thickness for near-field separation distances but it is virtually insensitive to the barrier width in far field regime. The long range character of the radiative heat transfer, which occurs in system with identical slabs is also discussed.

The master equation for the quantized mode of the field is solved, and the solution is used to describe the statistics of the output field. The conditions under which a nonclassical input field may retain nonclassical features at the output of the amplifier are analyzed and compared to the results of earlier theories. As an application we give a dynamical description of the departure of the system from thermal equilibrium.

description: Wenzhou used to be one of the poorest regions in eastern China. With limited arable land, poor road access to major cities, and little support from the upper level governments, this region seemed to lack all the conditions necessary for economic growth. However, over the past several decades Wenzhou has developed the most dynamic private sector in China, and has accordingly achieved one of the fastest growth rates. In particular, the footwear industry in Wenzhou has grown from a negligible market share to the largest in China. Here, we report a survey of 140 Wenzhou-based footwear enterprises of various scales, and use this information to examine the driving forces behind the dramatic rural industrial growth seen in this region. Our results show that clustering deepens the division of labor in the production process and makes it possible for small entrepreneurial firms to enter the industry by focusing on a narrowly defined stage of production. Therefore, Wenzhou represents an example of how clustering plays a significant role in helping fledgling rural industries overcome the growth constraints of capital and technology in the incipient stage of industrialization.

description: In nervous system information is conveyed by sequence of action potentials (spikes-trains). As MacKay and McCulloch proposed, spike-trains can be represented as bits sequences coming from Information Sources. Previously, we studied relations between Information Transmission Rates (ITR) carried out by the spikes, their correlations, and frequencies. Here, we concentrate on the problem of how spikes fluctuations affect ITR. The Information Theory Method developed by Shannon is applied. Information Sources are modeled as stationary stochastic processes. We assume such sources as two states Markov processes. As a spike-trains' fluctuation measure, we consider the Standard Deviation SD, which, in fact, measures average fluctuation of spikes around the average spike frequency. We found that character of ITR and signal fluctuations relation strongly depends on parameter s which is a sum of transitions probabilities from no spike state to spike state and vice versa. It turned out that for smaller s (s<1) the quotient ITR/SD has a maximum and can tend to zero depending on transition probabilities. While for s large enough 1

description: Labeling of genetically modified (GM) foods is a contentious issue and internationally, there is sharp division whether such labeling ought to be mandatory. This debate has reached India where the government has proposed mandatory labeling. In this context, this paper evaluates the optimal regulatory approach to GM food labels. Mandatory labeling aims to provide greater information and correspondingly more informed consumer choice. However, even without such laws, markets have incentives to supply labeling. So can mandatory labeling achieve outcomes different from voluntary labeling? The paper shows that this is not the case in most situations. The paper goes on to explore the special set of circumstances, where mandatory labeling makes a difference to outcomes. If these outcomes are intended, mandatory labeling is justified; otherwise not.

Creators: name: Heba Ibrahim Ahmed
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Background: Children with chronic liver disease (CLD) have significant impairment in physical function. Physical deconditioning and sarcopenia are two predictors of morbidity and mortality among children with CLD.

 

Purpose: The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of aerobic and strength training on aerobic capacity, muscle strength, anthropometric measures (height, weight, body mass index (BMI), triceps skin fold thickness (TST), mid upper arm circumference (MUAC), mid arm muscle circumference (MAMC) and mid upper leg circumference (MULC), health related quality of life (HRQOL) and fatigue in children with CLD.

 

Methods: Eighteen children with CLD from both sexes aged from 7 to 14 years old included in the study, they were recruited from Hepatology Clinic of Children’s Hospital, Cairo University. They received a designed physical therapy program of aerobic and strengthening exercises twice weekly for 8-weeks. The 6-minute walk test, hand held dynamometer (pneumatic and Lafayette hand held dynamometer), anthroplus software, pediatric quality of life inventory core scale and the pediatric multidimensional fatigue scale were used to assess aerobic capacity, grip and quadriceps strength, anthropometric measures, HRQOL and fatigue respectively pre and post treatment.

 

Results: Comparing the changes from baseline to post-intervention, there was significant improvement in aerobic capacity, grip and quadriceps strength, HRQOL and fatigue (p < 0.05). In addition, there was significant improvement in height and weight Post treatment compared to that pretreatment (p < 0.01) while, there was no significant change in BMI, TST, MUAC, MAMC and MULC (p > 0.05).

 

Conclusion: Aerobic and strength training can be added to rehabilitation program of children with CLD to improve their aerobic capacity, muscle strength and quality of life.

description: We consider the dynamics and kinetic roughening of wetting fronts in the case of forced wetting driven by a constant mass flux into a 2D disordered medium. We employ a coarse-grained phase field model with local conservation of density, which has been developed earlier for spontaneous imbibition driven by a capillary forces. The forced flow creates interfaces that propagate at a constant average velocity. We first derive a linearized equation of motion for the interface fluctuations using projection methods. From this we extract a time-independent crossover length $ξ_\times$, which separates two regimes of dissipative behavior and governs the kinetic roughening of the interfaces by giving an upper cutoff for the extent of the fluctuations. By numerically integrating the phase field model, we find that the interfaces are superrough with a roughness exponent of $χ= 1.35 \pm 0.05$, a growth exponent of $β= 0.50 \pm 0.02$, and $ξ_\times \sim v^{-1/2}$ as a function of the velocity. These results are in good agreement with recent experiments on Hele-Shaw cells. We also make a direct numerical comparison between the solutions of the full phase field model and the corresponding linearized interface equation. Good agreement is found in spatial correlations, while the temporal correlations in the two models are somewhat different.

description: We investigate theoretically the strong-field regime of light-matter interactions in the topological-insulator class of quantum materials. In particular, we focus on the process of non-perturbative high-order harmonic generation from the paradigmatic three-dimensional topological insulator bismuth selenide (Bi$_2$Se$_3$) subjected to intense mid-infrared laser fields. We analyze the contributions from the spin-orbit-coupled bulk states and the topological surface bands separately and reveal a major difference in how their harmonic yields depend on the ellipticity of the laser field. Bulk harmonics show a monotonous decrease in their yield as the ellipticity increases, in a manner reminiscent of high harmonic generation in gaseous media. However, the surface contribution exhibits a highly non-trivial dependence, culminating with a maximum for circularly polarized fields. We attribute the observed anomalous behaviour to: (i) the enhanced amplitude and the circular pattern of the interband dipole and the Berry connections in the vicinity of the Dirac point; and (ii) the influence of the higher-order, "hexagonal warping" terms in the Hamiltonian, which are responsible for the hexagonal deformation of the energy surface at higher momenta. The latter are associated directly with spin-orbit-coupling parameters. Our results thus establish the sensitivity of strong-field driven high harmonic emission to the topology of the band structure as well as to the manifestations of spin-orbit interaction.

This example is presented as a case study to show how the method works: The actors involved are represented by board game figures that are characterized through “range-ofaction- cards” and put on wooden “power towers” to show their power in the governance field. The result is a three dimensional sketch that provides quantitative data and guides the qualitative discussion about reasons for and effects of the power of different actors. In the case of Namibian CBNRM Power Mapping helped to understand how power indeed had been devolved from the national to the local level. However, on the community level elite-capture was seen as a serious problem. In this research the Power Mapping Tool proved to be easy to use with a very diverse mix of interview partners and provided not only a wealth of data but also increased the interviewees’ understanding of their own situation.

description: We compute the Hagedorn temperature of $μT \bar T + \varepsilon_+ J \bar T + \varepsilon_-T \bar J$ deformed CFT using the universal kernel formula for the thermal partition function. We find a closed analytic expression for the free energy and the Hagedorn temperature as a function of $μ$, $\varepsilon_+$, and $\varepsilon_-$ for the case of a compact scalar boson by taking the large volume limit. We also compute the Hagedorn temperature for the single trace deformed $AdS_3 \times S^1 \times T^3 \times S^3$ using holographic methods. We identify black hole configurations whose thermodynamics matches the functional dependence on $(μ, \varepsilon_+, \varepsilon_-)$ of the double trace deformed compact scalars.

description: Eighteen RR Lyrae variables (RRLs) that lie in the "$12\fh 4$ clump" identified by the QUEST survey have been observed spectroscopically to measure their radial velocities and metal abundances. Ten blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars identified by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) were added to this sample. Six of the 9 stars in the densest region of the clump have a mean radial velocity in the galactic rest frame ($V_{\rm gsr}$) of 99.8 and $σ$ = 17.3 ${\rm km s}^{-1}$, which is slightly smaller than the average error of the measurements. The whole sample contains 8 RRLs and 5 BHB stars that have values of $V_{\rm gsr}$ suggesting membership in this stream. For 7 of these RRLs, the measurements of [Fe/H], which have an internal precision of 0.08 dex, yield $ = -1.86$ and $σ$ = 0.40. These values suggest that the stream is a tidally disrupted dwarf spheroidal galaxy of low luminosity. Photometry from the database of the SDSS indicates that this stream covers at least 106 deg$^2$ of the sky in the constellation Virgo. The name Virgo Stellar Stream is suggested.

description: This paper explores and compares the impact of different types of public spending on rural household welfare in Ethiopia. The analysis of public financial and household-level data reveals that returns to road investments are significantly higher than returns to other spending, but are much more variable across regions. This regional variability in returns to road investment suggests that the government should carefully consider region-differentiated investment priorities. Some evidence suggests that the returns to road spending are increasing over time, with higher returns to road investments seen in areas with better-developed road networks. Among the other types of public spending, the household expenditure impacts of per capita public expenditure in agriculture and education are smaller, but these effects are also less variable across regions than the effects of road infrastructure spending. The largest effects of agricultural expenditures on rural households are observed in the most urbanized regions, pointing to the potentially important impact of market proximity on returns to public interventions in agriculture. Despite the importance of agriculture to the economy of Ethiopia we found that returns to agricultural spending were fairly low, suggesting the need for further research into the drivers of efficiency and effectiveness of public investments in this important sector.

Public Spending and Poverty Reduction in an Oil-Based Economy: The Case of Yemen

description: This study is part of a collaborative project between the International Food Policy Research Institute and the Arab Planning Institute in Kuwait on public policy and poverty reduction in the Arab region. The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of an increase in public spending in priority areas on economic growth and poverty reduction in Yemen. To accomplish this objective, the study builds a dynamic Computable General Equilibrium model to provide a baseline scenario of changes in the economy and poverty levels in Yemen during the period 1998-2016. Alternative scenarios are then compared to isolate the specific impact of several policies on poverty. The scenarios assume an increase in public spending devoted to three priority areas (agriculture, education, and health), which affect the economy through an increase in sectoral or economy-wide technical factor productivity. Results of public spending experiments show that targeting increased amounts of public spending towards education and health services will generate more economic growth and poverty reduction than increasing public spending solely on the agricultural sector. However, when an oil sector is a prominent part of the economy, as in Yemen, additional public spending on health and education does not improve productivity in the oil sector. Therefore, spending on agriculture becomes the most important channel for poverty reduction and economic growth. While increasing public spending in priority areas appears to be the best solution available for the government to reduce poverty during the next decade, the road is still long for Yemen to be able to achieve its Millennium Development Goals for poverty reduction. Re-allocating public expenditures from defense to key sectors appears to be an additional option for reducing poverty, given the financial constraints facing Yemen. However, in the current context of terrorism concerns, it will be difficult to convince policy-makers to reduce spending on defense and security. Seeking additional resources from international donors seems to be the only option available to increase benefits from increased public spending in the priority areas identified and assessed in this study.

description: The exchange coupling of the spins of two electrons in double well potentials in a semiconductor background is calculated within the Heitler-London (HL) approximation. Atomic and quantum dot types of confining potentials are considered, and a systematic analysis for the source of inaccuracies in the HL approach is presented. For the strongly confining coulombic atomic potentials in the H2 molecule, the most dramatic failure occurs at very large interatomic distances, where HL predicts a triplet ground state, both in 3D and in 2D, coming from the absence of electron-electron correlation effects in this approach. For a 2D double well potential, failures are identified at relatively smaller interdot distances, and may be attributed to the less confining nature of the potential, leading to larger overlap and consequently an inadequate representation of the two-particle states written, within HL, in terms of the ground state orbital at each isolated well. We find that in the double dot case, the range of validity of HL is improved (restricted) in a related 3D (1D) model, and that results always tend to become more reliable as the interdot distance increases. Our calculated exchange coupling is of relevance to the exchange gate quantum computer architectures in semiconductors.
