The misrule of metaphor

description: This dissertation examines the undercurrent of dissonance the utopian pole of metaphor offers in narrative fiction. It argues that, if the tensional interaction within metaphorical assertions of equivalence is read as a dynamic of power, then the configuration of the trope offers possibilities of contestation which have yet to be considered. Although Ricoeur's studies of metaphor theorize semantic deviation in terms of the imagination grounded in a conceptual framework encompassing ideology and utopia as complementary poles of a spectrum of social action, they fail to grasp the issue of power. By exploring patterns of contestation in metaphoric assertions of equivalence around such issues as gender, class and transgression in selected Canadian narratives, in conjunction with contemporary literary theorists, I develop strategies of reading the utopian perspective. Chapter One examines Thomas' metaphor of a lynching in terms of the context of power in which it appeared and which it destabilized. Chapter Two reformulates Ricoeur's conjunction of metaphor and ideology so as to locate the contestatory utopian capacity which, I maintain, is available within metaphor. In Chapter Three, a Jamesonian analysis of narrative locates the utopian horizon of Thomas' Graven Images. I parallel its contestation of the dominant ideological paradigm with a reversal in the metaphorical intertext. In Chapter Four, the utopian opens a strategy of reading the form of the metaphoric text. Moving from a response to Stanton's challenge to Irigaray's metaphoricity, I examine the metaphorical implications of form in Swan's The Biggest Modem Woman Of The World. In Chapter Five, by means of a de Manian rhetorical analysis of In The Skin Of A Lion, I illustrate the strains at the centre of metaphor between ideological and utopian instincts and explore the consequences of such tensions for critical reading. In Chapter Six, using Findley's Not Wanted On The Voyage, I argue that Ricoeur's reading of utopia is similar to Bakhtin's reading of the dynamic of carnival, and postulate that, although carnivalesque inversion is analogous to the process by means of which metaphor interrupts the ideological figuration of belief, the 'is not' persists in the dialogic nature of its intetvention.

description: Context. The β Pictoris system with its debris disk and a massive giant planet orbiting at \simeq 9 AU represents an ideal laboratory to study giant planet formation and evolution as well as planet-disk interactions. β Pic b can also help testing brightness-mass relations at young ages. Other planets, yet undetected, may of course be present in the system. Aims. We aim at putting direct constrains on the mass of β Pic b and at searching for additional jovian planets on orbits closer than typically 2 AU. Methods. We use high precision Harps data collected over 8 years since 2003 to measure and analyse β Pic radial velocities. Results. We show that the true mass of β Pic b is less than 10, 12, 15.5, 20 and 25 MJup if orbiting respectively at 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 AU. This is the first direct constraint on the mass of an imaged planet. The upper mass found is well in the range predicted by brightness-mass relations provided by current "hot start" models. We also exclude the presence of giant planets more massive than 2.5 MJup with periods less than 100 days (hot Jupiters), more massive than 9 MJup for periods in the range 100-500 days. In the 500-1000 day range, the detection limit is in the brown dwarf domain. Beyond the intrinsic interest for β Pic, these results show the possibilities of precise RV measurements of early type, rapidly rotating stars.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the question "What is the experience of successfully adjusting to an unanticipated job loss?" To open up this question a hermeneutic phenomenological research method, that integrates descriptions and interpretations, was used. Seven middle-aged professionals, who perceived themselves as having successfully adjusted to their job loss, were selected to participate in the study. Data sources included: personal experiences, etymological sources, and phenomenological literature. The main data source, however, was obtained from in-depth interview descriptions of the lived experiences of the participants. The following themes emerged: initial feelings, loss of a way of life, loss of self, embracing support, being empowered, experiencing a transformation, and life-career success. A description of job loss and successfully adjusting is presented. Implications for counsellors are discussed. Contributions of the study are provided. Recommendations for further research are explored. Finally, the study concludes with a description of the implicated researcher.

description: We study quantum frequency translation and two-color photon interference enabled by the Bragg scattering four-wave mixing process in optical fiber. Using realistic model parameters, we computationally and analytically determine the Green function and Schmidt modes for cases with various pump-pulse lengths. These cases can be categorized as either "non-discriminatory" or "discriminatory" in regards to their propensity to exhibit high-efficiency translation or high-visibility two-photon interference for many different shapes of input wave packets or for only a few input wave packets, respectively. Also, for a particular case, the Schmidt mode set was found to be nearly equal to a Hermite-Gaussian function set. The methods and results also apply with little modification to frequency conversion by sum-frequency conversion in optical crystals.

description: We present a detailed observational analysis of how merger-driven turbulence may regulate the star-formation efficiency during galaxy interactions and set the initial conditions for the formation of super star clusters. Using VLT/SINFONI, we obtained near-infrared imaging spectroscopy of a small region in the Antennae overlap region, coincident with the supergiant molecular cloud 2 (SGMC 2). We find extended H2 line emission across much of the 600 pc field-of-view, traced at sub-arcsecond spatial resolution. The data also reveal a compact H2 source with broad lines and a dynamical mass Mdyn 10^7 Msun, which has no observable Brg or K-band continuum emission, and no obvious counterpart in the 6 cm radio continuum. Line ratios indicate that the H2 emission of both sources is powered by shocks, making these lines a quantitative tracer of the dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy. The turbulence appears to be driven by the large-scale gas dynamics, and not by feedback from star formation. We propose a scenario where the H2 emission is related to the formation of bound clouds through accretion. The kinetic energy of the accreted gas drives the turbulence and powers the H2 emission. Broad H2 line widths of-order 150 km/s, similar to the velocity gradient of the gas across the field of view, support this idea. Within this interpretation, the compact H2 source could be a massive cloud on its way to form a super star cluster within the next few Myr. This scenario can be further tested with ALMA observations.

Time-reversal symmetry breaking state near the surface of $s_{\pm}$-superconductor

description: The structure of superconducting order parameter near the surface of a two-band superconductor with $s_{\pm}$ order parameter in the bulk is theoretically investigated. The main parameter of the surface, which determines the appropriate physics is the coefficient of the interband scattering $R_{12}$. For small $R_{12}$ the superconducting order parameter is only suppressed to some extent near the surface for the both bands. For intermediate and strong interband scattering there are two possible non-trivial surface states of the order parameter: (i) purely real solution, where the symmetry of the superconducting state near the surface is changed from $s_{\pm}$ to conventional $s_{++}$ and (ii) time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRB) state. In this state the order parameters in the two bands acquire phases $ϕ_{1,2}(x) \neq (0,π)$ upon approaching the surface. We argue that at low temperatures the TRB surface state can be more energetically favorable than the $s_{\pm} \to s_{++}$ time reversal symmetry conserving state (TR). For higher temperatures up to $T_c$ only the TR state can exist. The transition between the two temperature regions is rather sharp. Signatures of the transition between the TRB and the TR surface states can be detected by the measurements of the local density of states and the angle-resolved density of states.

description: Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a rare genetic defect caused by a heterozygous mutation of runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), which is important for osteoblast and skeletal development. RUNX2-deficiency causes extra- and intra-oral malformations that often require orthodontic treatment. Nicotinamide (NAM) affects bone remodelling processes. As these are crucial for orthodontic therapy, NAM could improve orthodontic treatment in CCD patients. This study investigates the effect of NAM in control and RUNX2-deficient osteoblasts under mechanical strain mimicking orthodontic treatment. First, the optimal NAM concentration and the differences in the expression profile of control and RUNX2-deficient osteoblasts were determined. Subsequently, osteoblasts were exposed to tensile and compressive strain with and without NAM, and the expression of genes critically involved in bone remodelling was investigated. NAM increased the expression of bone remodelling genes. RUNX2-deficient osteoblasts expressed more receptor activator of NFkB ligand (RANKL) and interleukin-6 (IL6), but less colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF1). Most of the positive effects of NAM on bone remodelling genes were impaired by mechanical loading. In conclusion, NAM stimulated osteoblast differentiation by increasing the expression of RUNX2 and regulated the expression of osteoclastogenic factors. However, the positive effects of NAM on bone metabolism were impaired by mechanical loading and RUNX2 deficiency.

Alterations in Active and Passive Behavior of Lower Back Tissues Following Six Sessions of High Velocity Low Amplitude Spinal Manipulative Therapy for Healthy Participants

Publisher: name: University of Kentucky
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering

description: Non-specific low back pain (LBP) is a major health problem affecting a substantial portion of the population. The current treatments offered for non-specific LBP are oftentimes unsuccessful because the acting mechanism(s) of most treatment options are unknown. Obtaining a better understanding about the acting mechanism behind existing treatment options is, therefore, essential for the improvement of non-specific LBP treatment and management. The objective of this study was to gain a more comprehensive understanding about the acting mechanism of high velocity low amplitude spinal manipulative therapy, specifically the impact that high velocity low amplitude spinal manipulative therapy may have on the active and passive spinal musculoskeletal stabilizing subsystems along with the resultant spinal stability for healthy participants. A pre-post intervention study design completed by six healthy participants was used to quantify changes in the above noted aspects of spinal stability using a series of tests performed both before and after six sessions of high velocity low amplitude spinal manipulative therapy. The tests included seated balancing tests, lower back range of motion tests, and stress relaxation test. The six sessions of high velocity low amplitude spinal manipulative therapy did not significantly affect any of the test measurements among our healthy participant group.

description: Most of the properties of electrons in conducting materials that we encounter in our everyday lives can be explained very neatly by considering them to be independent entities residing in the crystal lattice potential, as described by band theory of solids. However, the scenario gets very interesting when inter-electronic interactions and relativistic effects become strong enough, such that they can no longer be treated as small perturbations to the standard band structure. The situation gets even more intriguing for the surface states where the inversion symmetry is naturally lifted, leading to additional spin-orbit coupling. In thesis I study two quantum materials (PdCoO₂ and PdTe₂) where the interplay of spin orbit coupling (SOC) and inversion symmetry breaking (ISB) give rise to intriguing spin texture of the surface bands, which further leads to spin-selective scattering. Using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy, I sought to explore these spin-selective scattering processes by studying the quasi-particle interference (QPI) patterns at different energies in the vicinity of the Fermi-level. Among the two systems studied in the thesis, the CoO₂ terminated surface of metallic Delafossite PdCoO₂ shows an abnormally large Rashba spin splitting of the surface states. It is a Rashba system where the energy scale associated with the inversion symmetry breaking is much larger than the spin-orbit coupling. The surface states also exhibit signatures of Fermi-liquid like behaviour. Therefore this system allowed me to do a case study of the interplay of strong electronic correlations and spin-orbit coupling and thereby estimate the relative values of various intrinsic length scales in the system, which become significant from the point of view of application in device fabrication. I proceeded to study the influence of quantum confinement on the scattering processes and the related modulations in the local density of states. In course of these experiments, I determined the difference in the local barrier height of polar surface terminations, here the Pd and CoO₂ terminated surfaces of PdCoO₂, which may prove to be useful information for future researchers. I further went on to investigate the spin selective scattering processes in Dirac semi-metal PdTe₂ from analysis of quasiparticle interference. The surface states in this material have a complicated spin texture and this system also serves as the example case of my study, for the limit where the spin-orbit coupling is the dominant energy scale.

description: This thesis has two major, related subjects, relativity and magnetic properties. All the investigations are based on density functional theory (DFf). An algorithm has been developed and implemented that allows the determination of relativistic energy gradients. This implementation enables automated geometry optimization at the relativistic level. The scheme has been applied to the calculation of M-CO bond lengths and first bond dissociation energies in binary transition metal carbonyls. A unique program system has been developed that allows the calculation of NMR shieldings and EPR g-tensors. The program is based on the use of "gauge including atomic orbitals" (GIAO). Expressions have been derived for the extension of the program to include the frozen core approximation, a scheme in which only the valence electrons are treated explicitly, and scalar relativistic effects. These expressions have been implemented into the DFf-GIAO program. The program has been applied to the chemical shift in systems ranging from small first row compounds to the metal chemical shift in transition metal carbonyls M(CO)6. This represents the first calculation of heavy element shifts that is based on a relativistic first principle quantum mechanical method. The calculated metal shifts of M( CO)6, taken relative to [MO4] 2-, are -1,846, -1804, and -3615 ppm for M = Cr, Mo, W, respectively. The corresponding experimental values are -1,795, -1,857, and -3,505 ppm. The inclusion of relativity is crucial for a proper description of ligand and metal shifts in 5 d complexes. Various aspects of NMR shielding calculations are discussed in this thesis. They comprise basis set requirements, exchange-correlation functionals, the importance of core orbitals, relativistic effects, the relation of the GIAO method to the common-gauge scheme, among others. Certain limitations of the method and possible future directions have been considered as well. The DFf-GIAO NMR program has been extended to include the calculation of the EPR g-tensor. This extension is the first GIAO and the only first principle DFT program for the g-tensor. The program is validated by calculations of g-tensors for a comprehensive set of small radicals.

description: We propose the quantitative mean-field theory of mechanical unfolding of a globule formed by long flexible homopolymer chain collapsed in poor solvent and subjected to an extensional force We show that with an increase in the applied force the globule unfolds as a whole without formation of an intermediate state. The value of the threshold force and the corresponding jump in the distance between chain ends increase with a deterioration of the solvent quality and / or with an increase in the degree of polymerization. This way of globule unfolding is compared with that in the D-ensemble, when the distance between chain ends is imposed.

Behaviour of reinforced concrete flat slabs

description: The behaviour of flat slabs is investigated. Three aspects are studied: the analysis, the deflections and the shear strength of flat slabs. To achieve this, a new test set-up is used to test two 5 m multispan full slabs. The test set-up facilitates the testing of a part of a slab centred about an edge column and the adjacent interior column. By providing edge restraint around the periphery of this area the behaviour of the full slab can be simulated. Boundary frames provide these edge restraints. The first slab is tested three times and repaired after the first two failures. Shear failures happened at the interior and edge column connections with and without shear studs. In addition, four isolated edge column-slab connections are tested to failure. The test variables are the distribution of the flexural reinforcement and the load eccentricity. Tests from the literature are used to study the different parameters affecting the punching shear strength of slab-column connections. The results are compared with the provisions of the ACI, BS, CSA and CEB-FIP Codes and new shear strength equations reflecting these parameters are proposed. For interior slab-column connections subjected to shear and moment transfer, a correction factor for y v (portion of unbalanced moment resisted by shear stresses according to the American and Canadian Codes) is proposed. This correction factor accounts for the effects of the reinforcement ratio on y v. A new method for calculating y v for edge column-slab connections is proposed. The method is based on a truss model. Also investigated is the use of a plastic she~ stress distribution along the shear critical section. Regarding the analysis of flat slabs, the most common methods used (Equivalent Frame, Direct Design, Prismatic Member and Finite Element Method) are presented and their predictions are compared with the results of the two slabs tested. Improvements for the Prismatic Member Method are suggested. For the deflections of flat slabs, the most common methods (Effective Moment of Inertia, Bilinear Method and Mean Curvature Approach) are critically reviewed. The deflections predicted by these methods are compared with the test results and modifications are proposed.
Solution of the quantum harmonic oscillator plus a delta-function potential at the origin: The oddness of its even-parity solutions

description: We derive the energy levels associated with the even-parity wave functions of the harmonic oscillator with an additional delta-function potential at the origin. Our results bring to the attention of students a non-trivial and analytical example of a modification of the usual harmonic oscillator potential, with emphasis on the modification of the boundary conditions at the origin. This problem calls the attention of the students to an inaccurate statement in quantum mechanics textbooks often found in the context of solution of the harmonic oscillator problem.

description: Novel device developments enable the edge-to-edge treatment of inoperable patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and large coaptation gaps. We compared the acute and short-term results of patients treated with the MitraClip XTR vs. PASCAL system. We retrospectively analyzed 120 patients (72 pts. MitraClip XTR, 48 pts. PASCAL) treated for isolated severe TR on a compassionate-use basis. Mean patient age was 77 ± 8 years and the LaPar risk score was 6.7 ± 1.7%. Patients in the PASCAL group had a larger coaptation gap and a trend to more severe TR. Procedural success (TR ≤ 2) was achieved in 92% of patients in each group (XTR group: 66/72, PASCAL group: 44/48). Thirty-day follow-up was available in 94% of patients. Two patients in the PASCAL group and one patient in the MitraClip XTR group died within 30-days of the procedure. Device complications were observed in 15.3% of patients in the XTR group and in 10.4% of patients in the PASCAL group. There was a trend for a more pronounced reduction of vena contracta width in the PASCAL group compared to the XTR group. Tricuspid repair was associated with a comparable improvement in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class and 6-minute walking distance in both groups. The PASCAL and the MitraClip XTR system appeared to be highly efficacious in treating patients with severe TR with a comparable rate of device complications in both groups but a trend for a more pronounced reduction of vena contracta width in the PASCAL group.
