description: Specialized gold nanostructures are of interest for the development of alternative treatment methods in medicine. Photothermal therapy combined with gene therapy that supports hyperthermia is proposed as a novel multimodal treatment method for prostate cancer. In this work, photothermal therapy using small (<100 nm) gold nanoparticles and near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation combined with gene therapy targeting heat shock protein (HSP) 27 was investigated. A series of nanoparticles: nanoshells, nanorods, core-corona nanoparticles and hollow nanoshells, were synthesized and examined to compare their properties and suitability as photothermal agents. In vitro cellular uptake studies of the nanoparticles into prostate cancer cell lines were performed using light scattering microscopy to provide three-dimensional (3D) imaging. Small gold nanoshells (40 nm) displayed the greatest cellular uptake of the nanoparticles studied and were used in photothermal studies. Photothermal treatment of the cancer cell lines with laser irradiation at 800 nm at 4 W on a spot size of 4 mm (FWHM) for 6 or 10 min resulted in an increase in temperature of ~12 °C and decrease in cell viability of up to 70%. However, in vitro studies combining photothermal therapy with gene therapy targeting HSP27 did not result in additional sensitization of the prostate cancer cells to hyperthermia.

description: We study string inspired two-field models of large-field inflation based on axion monodromy in the presence of an interacting heavier modulus. This class of models has enough structure to approximate at least part of the backreaction effects known in full string theory, such as kinetic mixing with the axion, and flattening of the scalar potential. Yet, it is simple enough to fully describe the structure of higher-point curvature perturbation interactions driven by the adjusting modulus backreaction dynamics. We find that the presence of the heavy modulus can be described via two equivalent effective field theories, both of which can incorporate reductions of the speed of sound. Hence, the presence of heavier moduli in axion monodromy inflation constructions will necessarily generate some amount of non-Gaussianity accompanied by changes to n_s and r beyond what results from just from the well known adiabatic flattening backreaction.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία έχει σαν αντικείμενο μελέτης την πρώην Γαλλική Σχολή των Χανίων. Πρόκειται για ένα νεοκλασικό κτήριο του 19ου αιώνα, που  βρίσκεται στην περιοχή της Χαλέπας, στο «αριστοκρατικό» προάστιο της πόλης, και συνορεύει με τα Ταμπακαριά, μία ιδιαίτερη συνοικία, όπου λειτουργούσαν τα βυρσοδεψία των Χανίων.
Αφορμή για την επιλογή του θέματος αποτέλεσε η δυνατότητα και η ανάγκη της βέλτιστης αξιοποίησης των υφιστάμενων κτηρίων και του, μεγάλης έκτασης, ακάλυπτου χώρου του βόριου τμήματος του οικοπέδου.
Συνεπώς, η εν λόγω εργασία αναπτύσσεται σε δύο επίπεδα.
Το πρώτο επίπεδο, αφορά την πρόταση επανάχρησης του ιστορικού κτηρίου, ως θύλακα πολιτισμού, με σκοπό την αναβίωση του εκπαιδευτικού του χαρακτήρα, και τον επαναπροσδιορισμό της σχέσης του με την τοπική κοινωνία.
Το δεύτερο επίπεδο, αφορά τη δημιουργία ενός συγκροτήματος φοιτητικών εστιών, το οποίο αναπτύσσεται πίσω από το ιστορικό κτήριο της πρώην Γαλλικής Σχολής, σε μία προσπάθεια αντιμετώπισης του διαρκώς οξυνόμενου ζητήματος στέγασης των φοιτητών στην πόλη των Χανίων.
Η αρχιτεκτονική πρόταση στο σύνολό της επιχειρεί τη δημιουργία μίας χωρικής σύνδεσης της περιοχής Χαλέπας με τη βιοτεχνική συνοικία των Ταμπακαριών. Ταυτόχρονα η επανάχρηση της πρώην Γαλλικής Σχολής, και η  προσθήκη των φοιτητικών εστιών λειτουργούν αντισταθμιστικά στην τάση «τουριστικοποίησης» της ευρύτερης περιοχής, δημιουργώντας συνθήκες κοινωνικής και πολιτιστικής ώσμωσης.

description: I will discuss aspects of de Sitter (dS) space and inflation models in the context of String Theory. I shall begin by reviewing four-dimensional dS space. Then I will sketch the generic difficulties encountered in string model building, emphasizing the particular role played by the KKLT proposal in the recent debate surrounding the recent "no-dS conjectures". I shall outline how KKLT passes non-trivial 10D consistency requirements. However, I shall also explain how simple geometrical consistency constraints indicate ageneric difficulty in finding SUSY breaking AdS or dS vacua as opposed to run-away solutions only.

description: Phenomena of both late-time and early Universe cosmology, such as dark energy, electro-weak (EW) symmetry breaking of the SM Higgs sector, and inflation can enable us to test candidate theories of quantum gravity such as string theory. The turning point of connecting cosmology to string theory often consists in realizing solutions with positive vacuum energy in string theory, driving ‘accelerated’ cosmic expansion.We discuss a generic 'reaction' of string theory when using it to describe positive vacuum energy as a source of cosmic acceleration: Backreaction of a string vacuum to positive vacuum energy generically leads to 'flattening' -- the backreacted vacuum energy rises more slowly with its effective control parameter then expected at tree level. We show examples of inflation in string theory showing this phenomenon, which will be crucial in the future to decipher broad possible predictions from string theory for inflation. We then highlight, how determining a `theory error’ for these predictions from the `known unknowns’ of the string theory mechanisms of inflation becomes feasible using machine learning. Turning from inflation to de Sitter (dS) vacua, we next discuss how the KKLT construction of dS vacua in string theory passes non-trivial 10D consistency requirements. Finally, we outline how to the mechanism of axion monodromy may even point towards a non-trivial vacuum structure at low energies may discretize and effectively stabilize both the cosmological constant and the EW Higgs vacuum.

description: Objective: The present study aims to evaluate the stability provided by occipitocervical (OC) fixation using occipital plate and C2 pedicular screws. Methods: The study included 6 formalin preserved whole human cadaveric specimens. Occipito-cervical fixation was performed using occipital plate and C2 pedicle screws connected by rods. Specimens were manually loaded by the maximum possible flexion, extension and axial rotation. Assessment of stability of fixation was done after 100, 500, 1000, 2000 and 3000 cycles. In the first 3 specimens (group 1), repetitive loading was planned to be initially applied in flexion and extension. If there was no failure of the construct at 3000 cycles, loading has to be continued in axial rotation. In the second 3 specimens (group 2), repetitive loading was planned to be applied initially in axial rotation up to 3000 cycles. If there was no failure of the construct, loading has to be continued in flexion and extension. Results: group 1 showed no implants failure apparently or radiologically after 3000 loading cycles. However, failure occurred at different sites when axial rotation loading was applied at 500, 700 and 900 cycles respectively by axial rotation loading cycles. On the other hand, when axial rotation was initially applied to group 2, failure occurred at 1050, 1000 and 800 respectively cycles before applying flexion and extension loading. Conclusions: Our study revealed that occiput-C2 pedicle screw construct, without supplementary C1 lateral mass provided stability in flexion and extension loading. However, repeated axial rotation loading causes failure of construct.

Zur Vorgeschichte der Dekolonisation in Asien: Japans Einfluß auf die Emanzipationsbewegungen zwischen Meiji-Restauration und Erstem Weltkrieg

description: The paper explores the part Japan played in the early Asian nationalists’ struggle against colonialism, between the time of the Meiji restoration and the First World War. Japan’s own economic and military successes during this period had repercussions for the whole of Asia. They proved that modernisation by own efforts, and independence from Western rule were possible. Asian nationalists began to look into the roots of Japanese success, to reflect upon the model nature of the country, to seek asylum there, and to ask Tokyo for political or military support in their fight against Western imperialism. The calls for political support, or for weapons, were left mostly unanswered, at least on the state level. Nevertheless, Japan played a significant role at the start of the process of decolonisation, as the paper, using the examples of Korea, China, the Philippines, Vietnam and India, seeks to show. The country disseminated new Western ideas and knowledge, and, as a country of exile, offered a platform for multinational discussions on strategy. But, more than anything else, Japan established a new sense of Asian self-awareness and influenced a whole generation of politicians who later were to play a decisive role in the struggles of their countries for modernisation and independence.

description: Background: Styloid process of temporal bone is clinically significant, because of anatomical or congenital variations in length, number, angulations as well as close proximity to many of the vital neurovascular structures in the neck. Abnormal or congenital variations of the styloid process may compress adjacent neurovascular structures and leads to symptoms of stylalgia (Eagle’s syndrome). Aim: Accordingly this study was aimed to evaluate the anatomical and congenital variations of styloid process of temporal bone in Indian adult dry skull bones. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out on 110 dry human skulls irrespective of age and sex at Varun Arjun medical college- Banthra,-UP, Melaka Manipal Medical College-Manipal and KMCT Medical College, Manassery- Calicut. All the skulls were macroscopically inspected for the anatomical and congenital variations of styloid process of temporal bone. Photographs of the anatomical and congenital variations were taken for proper documentation. Results: Out of 110 dry human skull bones we noted very rare unusual unilateral triple styloid processes in one skull bone, unusual bilateral double styloid processes in one skull bone and unilateral double styloid processes in right side of one skull bone. Conclusion: Congenital double, triple and elongated styloid process noted in this study can leads to styloidogenic jugular compression syndrome or stylo-carotid artery syndrome or disturb the biomechanics of temporomandibular joint or compress/ irritate nearby neurological structures trigger a series of symptoms such as dysphagia, odynophagia, facial pain, ear pain, headache, tinnitus and trismus. Proper knowledge and diagnosis of anatomical and congenital variations of styloid process of temporal bone is important to anaesthetists, dentists, neurosurgeons and otolaryngologists, orthopaedic surgeons, clinical anatomist, Radiologists, forensic experts Architectures and morphologists which may increase the success of diagnostic evaluation and surgical approaches to the region.

Bauern und ländliche Gesellschaft im China des 20. Jahrhunderts: Zwischenbilanz einer Debatte
Creators: name: Osterhammel, Jürgen
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: Ever since the 1920s, the nature of rural society and the position of the peasant in modern China have been the subject of highly controversial debate. This debate also touched on general issues relating to the analysis of agrarian social systems. The article traces the various stages of the controversy from the discussion on "moral economy" versus "peasant rationality" up to the most recent contributions. In the 1980s, the highly original work of the American historian Philip C.C. Huang has opened up new vistas and has transcended the old battle-lines. Huang’s approach and his empirical results are critically examined. They are contrasted with a recent study by the British historian David Faure which starts from a theoretical position far remote from that of Philip Huang, yet ending up by unwittingly corroborating several of Huang’s conclusions. Finally, a new anthropological study by Shulamit and Jack Potter is discussed. It contributes, as does Philip Huang’s most recent book, to an assessment of current changes in rural China in the light of long-term historical analysis.

Shattered Symbiosis: The Road to Conflict between Malay Nationalism and Monarchy
Creators: name: Kershaw, Roger
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: After the custodial function of the Conference of Malay Rulers in relation to Malay Special Rights was strengthened constitutionally in 1971, a new royal assertiveness began to emerge, politically and economically, calling in question the well-established political symbiosis between monarchy and the elective nationalist elite. Dr Mahathir began his Premiership in 1981 in the midst of a crisis of authority in Pahang State, and in 1983 felt bound to take steps to spell out the duty of royal consent to legislation, anticipating the possible election of the Sultan of Johor as Supreme Ruler. Despite only partial success in this manoeuvre, Dr Mahathir appears to have turned the personal imperatives of the Sultan of Johor to good account in his battle with the judiciary in 1988. In late 1992 the same Sultan played into his hands again by assaulting a hockey coach and making possible a Constitutional Amendment which has not only removed legal immunity from all the reigning monarchs but has also established a right of legislators to criticise royalty in elective assemblies - an important asset for the ruling party in view of the increasingly independent political posture of the Sultan of Kelantan. It is difficult to avoid the conlusion that, since this constitutional crisis of 1993, "Malaysia will never be the same again", although the rulers did manage to establish their right to be consulted and potentially to refuse consent, regarding such a change in their own powers.

Non-breaking wave induced ocean mixing

name: Babanin, A.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Mixing of the upper ocean affects the sea surface temperature by bringing deeper, colder water to the surface. Even small changes in the surface temperature can have a large impact on global weather and climate, so it is critical to determine it accurately for forecasting. Although there are several mechanisms that can lead to mixing, one that has until recently been overlooked is the effect of non-breaking, wind-generated surface waves. In most theoretical models, ocean surface waves are presumed to be irrotational, since the viscosity of water is small and their motion is not greatly affected. However this overlooks two important aspects of the motion: the first is that however small the viscosity, it is not zero; secondly, even potential wave motion can interact with pre-existing vorticity in the water. The consequences of this are clear: given large enough waves, the non-irrotational motion can generate turbulence, and given pre-existing turbulence, the waves, even when considered as irrotational, transfer their own energy to the turbulence. Aside from dissipating the waves, this enhancement of the background turbulence can lead to deeper and more rapid mixing than might otherwise occur. Other mechanisms of turbulence generation by surface waves that have been studied include the interaction of Stokes drift with the turbulence, Langmuir circulation, and wave breaking. Experimental, observational, modelling and theoretical work indicates that the last of these only has a very shallow effect, and the other two are either too weak or too infrequent to account for the observed mixing. All have to be artificially enhanced in models to account for the mixing observed. By parameterising the effect of the turbulence directly generated by the orbital particle motion due to the waves, the correct rate and depth of mixing can be calculated. Various models incorporating such a parameterisation have shown closer agreement with observation than previously achieved, however the parameterisations still need refinement. We propose one based closely on the physics of the motion, deriving results from a wave model coupled to a large eddy simulation turbulence model.

description: Variations in the renal vessels have been observed frequently in routine dissection and surgical practice, but existing with congenital anomalies of kidneys or ureters or suprarenal glands is very rare. Accordingly the aim of this study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of anomalous renal vasculature existing with congenital anomalies of kidneys, ureters and suprarenal glands. This study was carried out on 48 human cadavers (including dissected cadaveric specimens) irrespective of age and sex used for routine dissection of abdomen conducted for medical undergraduates teaching purpose. The kidneys, ureters and suprarenal glands along with their arteries were exposed and the anomalous variations of renal vasculature existing with congenital anomalies of kidneys or ureters or suprarenal glands were observed. Photographs of the anomalous and developmental variations were taken for proper documentation. Out of 48 human cadavers following anomalous / developmental variations were noted- unilateral retro aortic left real vein, extra-hilar artery (branch of renal artery that presents an extra hilar penetration) to the superior pole of left kidney, existing with very rare and unusual double suprarenal gland with unusual blood supply was noted in one cadaver. Bilateral double renal arteries existing with unusual incomplete double ureters on right side and incomplete triple ureters on left side were found in one cadaver. Left triple renal arteries, right double renal arteries existing with bilateral polycystic kidneys with distended ureters were found in one cadaver. Double extra-hilar arteries to the superior pole of right kidney, existing with unusual blood supply to the right suprarenal gland and right testis was found in one cadaver. Bilateral Early division of renal artery existing with bilateral polycystic kidneys fond in one cadaver. Anatomical and developmental variations of renal vasculature, ureters, kidneys and their relationship to surrounding structures are clinically significant as they interferes several operative procedures like kidney transplantation, surgical reconstruction of the abdominal aorta, interventional radiologic procedures and urologic operations; hence detection of the possible developmental variations of the renal vasculature, ureters, kidneys and their relationship to surrounding structures is clinically necessary for adequate surgical management to preserve renal functions.

The Jaffna Social System: Continuity and Change under Conditions of War
Creators: name: Hellmann-Rajanayagam, Dagmar
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: In the article three issues are dealt with: firstly, a description of the traditional social system of Jaffna in so far as it differs from that of South India and the rest of Sri Lanka, secondly, a discussion of the role of the Karaiyars in the past and present contexts, and, thirdly, an illustration of the way this social system is being maintained, albeit in modified form, under conditions of extreme stress and change. In other words it is shown how the frame or structure of the system remains in place while the content changes. This entails the retention of myths, ideals and symbols, while their meaning and also the groups that appropriate these, change dramatically. At the end of the paper it is argued that within the caste-oriented and -dominated social system of Jaffna there lie the seeds for the development of a wider group identity and consciousness which over time develops into nationalism under which caste is subsumed. This happens precisely when the dominant or hegemonic groups change, i.e. when, in our case, instead of the leading group of Vellalars, the Karaiyars appropriate the symbols and ideas of 'Tamilness' and Tamil tradition and modify and extend them horizontally and vertically. A much wider conception of who is a 'Tamil' results. This change evolved over a considerable time span, from the beginning of the 19th to the end of our century, and the Karaiyars took the leading role fairly late in the process. More specifically the connections between the 'caste' system as it exists in Jaffna and the development of the militant struggle are explored to show that part of the difficulties of legitimation the militants still have, stem directly from concepts of caste and caste, or group, conflicts. The consequences of this change of perception and leadership can presently be seen in Jaffna alongside a bloody and increasingly brutal civil war, that is not only directed against the Sinhalese, but also, increasingly, against the suppression and exploitation of the lower castes in Jaffna by the Vellalars.

The Image of the Female Body in Commercial Indian Films
Creators: name: Seiler, Lars-Winfried
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: During the 1980s Indian audiences of Indian commercial films have seen a spectacular rise in violence on the screen. A large part of this violence is directed towards women. In most films the heroine or the leading actress has to face rape, torture, or other forms of humiliation. In this article I argue that the increase of violence against women in movies is caused by several interdependent processes in the film-making community and, more important, by an ongoing discussion in Indian society regarding the status of women. I argue that on the one hand the increase of violence against women is part of the general increase in violence on the screen which is caused predominantly by economical and sociological pressures on the film industry. On the other hand this process is part of an ongoing socialeconomic change in India where the once male-dominated spheres of culture and economics are under pressure from the emerging class of economically independent women. Violence against women in films thus serves as a means of re-constructing a male-dominated culture by re-defining women’s roles through narrative.

Die Konstitution von Geldwirtschaften. Die Krise Indiens und ihre Bedeutung für die Transformationsökonomie Eurasiens
Creators: name: Schelkle, Waltraud
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The paper starts by analysing the difficulties that a LDC like India and today’s transforming economies face in establishing a sovereign currency in a world of established monetary economies. Monetary constitution circumscribes a process in which domestic economic agents become willing to safeguard and generate wealth in terms of the national currency in the face of competition from foreign monies and real assets. It is a prerequisite for macroeconomic stability and economic development in a more conventional sense. India did not succeed in establishing a monetary constitution. The outcome was suppressed inflation, in which microregulation was intended to act as substitute for macrostabilisation. This resulted in persistent erosion of India’s monetary economy from the mid-sixties onwards. The ensuing deformations exhibit striking parallels between India today and the former planned economies of Central and Eastern Europe. In particular, a huge stock of bad debt, both of government and enterprises, is the main barrier to monetary constitution as well as more thorough reform. The most promising way of dealing with this problem of accumulated debt is considered to be a currency reform.

Beyond lecture capture: what teaching staff want from web-based lecture technologies
Creators: name: Germany, Lisa
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: For the past decade, the primary use of recordings in higher education has been to make live lectures available to students for review (lecture capture). However, with the rise of podcasting and the increased focus on interaction as a means to engage students, current web-based lecture technologies (WBLT) are capable of much more than simply recording and distributing a live lecture. This study aimed to discover what teaching staff are currently doing, and what they would like to be doing with WBLT for learning and teaching. Data were drawn from initial focus groups conducted with 10 academic teaching staff at Swinburne University of Technology, as well as an online survey that was distributed to all Swinburne staff with a lecture capture account. Three key requirements for a university-wide WBLT system were identified: flexibility in where and when recordings can be made, flexibility in control over those recordings, and the desire to be able to interact with the recordings and incorporate them as an integral part of the course. These findings indicate that teaching staff want to innovate in their use of recordings and need to be supported to do so through the adoption of an appropriate recording solution.

description: Children growing up bilingual face a unique linguistic environment. The current study investigated whether early bilingual experience influences the developmental trajectory of associative word learning, a foundational mechanism for lexical acquisition. Monolingual and bilingual infants (N=98) were tested on their ability to learn dissimilar-sounding words (lif and neem) in the Switch task. Twelve-month-olds from both language backgrounds failed to detect a violation of a previously taught word-object pairing. However, both monolinguals and bilinguals succeeded at 14-months, and their performance did not differ. The results indicate that early bilingual experience does not interfere with the development of the fundamental ability to form word-object associations, suggesting that this mechanism is robust across different early language environments.

description: In the last two decade, Industrialized Building System (IBS) was promoted to enhance the importance of prefabrication technology rather than conventional method in construction. The components of IBS structure are floors, walls, columns, beams, and roofs which are assembled and erected on the site properly joined to form the final units. Among all the components, connection has the most influential role to join all elements together such as wall to wall, slab to wall and wall to foundation for transferring the earthquake lateral loads. In the present study, an efficient FRP retrofit scheme for IBS wall connection has been developed in order to provide adequate strength and stiffness for wall connection to be resisting against the lateral seismic load. For this purpose, the inter-storey deformations of FRP strengthened infill walls which are integrated to the boundary frame members is evaluated by numerical analysis. So, the analytical model of wall and connection is developed and FRP retrofit design and analysis for actual deficient RC wall subjected to huge ground motion is conducted. From the analysis result, it was observed that application of the FRP composite retrofit scheme reduced the damage induced to deficient wall by controlling story deformations. So in this case, it is possible to satisfy the collapse prevention performance state through an efficient and economical manner.

description: Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is a popular material in the area of strengthening steel structures, because it has many advantages such as light weight，high tensile strength, high elastic modulus and ease of installation. Recently, studies have shown that steel plates strengthened with CFRP sheets have improved fatigue performance. However, almost no researches are aimed to study temperature effect on fatigue properties of CFRP reinforcement for steel structures. This paper describes an investigation on the behavior of steel plates strengthened with CFRP at different temperatures. Firstly, through cylinder coupon tests, mechanical properties of the resin were found to vary at different temperatures, especially when the temperature exceeds over the glass transition temperature Tg. Secondly, three cracked bare steel plates and five cracked steel plates strengthened with CFRP sheets were tested under cyclic loading at different temperatures. The results prove the effectiveness of CFRP reinforcement technology, which increased fatigue life by 2 to 3.4 times. It is concluded that the variation of temperature has a great influence on properties of the resin, leading to influence on fatigue life. Finally, the existing analytical method at ambient temperature was modified to predict fatigue lives by considering the temperature effect. Experimental and theoretical results are compared and reasonable agreement is achieved.

Die portugiesischsprachige Presse in Macau: Ein Bericht über den Stand Ende 1991

description: The Chinese form the largest population group in modern Macau, Portugal’s last outpost in the Far East, but the local Portuguese who run the territory’s administration and hold important positions in Macau’s public life, have maintained many of their own cultural and political traditions. The presence of Portuguese language media in Macau, in particular the press, forms part of this unique tradition. The first newspaper printed in Macau was the Abelha da China and ever since it came out between 1822 and 1823, numerous other papers appeared, some of which were published over longer periods while others only survived for a few months or years. Portuguese-language papers in Macau nearly always echoed different political ideas and opinions. They often followed liberal traditions and reflected both local and international events. This is also the case in present-day Macau where financial support from the government, favorable laws that guarantee press freedom, and other factors have contributed to an extraordinary growth in the recent output of these papers and to an improvement in the quality of their information. In a sense, the current development of the Portuguese press, backed by different political and other interest groups, mirrors the dynamic economic growth of the territory. In spite of current trends, it is unlikely that the Portuguese press will be able to maintain its present position after 1999; the Portuguese-speaking population is expected to decline after "the transition period"; the number of Chinese fluent in Portuguese is still very small and it is doubtful whether there will be a large demand for Portuguese-language papers in the long run. Apart from giving a general survey of current trends, the present study also contains a descriptive and critically annotated catalogue of all Macau newspapers and periodicals published in Portuguese (at the end of 1991) and predominantly reporting on local or international events of public interest. Periodicals exclusively dedicated to special fields, newsletters, government statistics, and academic journals are not included in this list. The catalogue briefly describes the history and contents of the following periodicals: Boletim Oficial de Macau, Boletim Eclesial, Macau, Revista de Cultura, Administração, O Clarim, Tribuna de Macau, Comércio de Macau, Macau Sport, Gazeta Macaense, Jomal de Macau, and Macau Hoje.

Strength evolution after high temperature exposure of coated carbon fiber rovings used for a fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM)

description: This paper presents experimental results of the tensile strength decrease of coated Carbon Fiber rovings after high temperature exposure up to 1000°C. The composite material is used as a mesh reinforcement for various shotcrete applications (FRCM - Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Mortar) in structural retrofitting projects. In case of a fire accident, it is mandatory to dispose of a certain residual strength after high temperature exposure in order to guarantee structural safety. The current investigation treats unidirectional tensile strength tests on Carbon Fiber rovings carried out at Empa. The investigation was performed at room temperature on Carbon Fiber rovings after having been thermally subjected to constant temperature of 300, 500, 700 and 1000°C in a tube furnace for 30 minutes. It can be observed that an exposure at 300°C for half an hour does not affect the mechanical properties of the analyzed reinforcement. However, a further increase in temperature starts seriously damaging the material's ability at 500°C, whilst no residual strength is left at 700 and 1000°C, respectively. Additionally, reinforced concrete plate strips were strengthened with a fiber-reinforced-cementitious-matrix (FRCM) layer and subsequently subjected to fire at the 'Versuchsstollen Hagerbach' (CH), temperature was controlled according to the European ETK-temperature curve. The measured temperature evolution on the Carbon Fiber rovings (under a total concrete/shotcrete cover of 40 mm for the steel reinforcement) together with the previously performed tensile tests lead to the conclusion that the inner steel reinforcement, for which temperature was also monitored, is partially protected by the FRCM layer and does not trespass 250°C in this case.
Die Psychoanalyse in der chinesischen Philosophie der 20er und 30er Jahre

description: Psychoanalysis was brought to China via Japan and Europe. It influenced many Chinese scholars profoundly in the 20s and 30s. Most Chinese interpreters of Freud’s theories regarded psychoanalysis as an effective method for reforming Chinese society. In Zhang Dongsun’s opinion, the sublimation of sexual impulse was already strong enough to overcome all social nuisances, and he tried to use it to resist the spread of Marxism. With the help of Chinese literature and history, Zhang Shizhao reformed psychoanalysis and used it as a weapon to fight against his opponents. Gao Juefu translated the works of Freud and expected that the spread of psychoanalysis would help young people to find the right way of life. The famous scholar Zhu Guangqian emphasized the significance of Freudianism and praised its contribution to the research of the origin and appreciation of art. The outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War (1937) interrupted the spread of psychoanalysis. Freud made his "comeback" in China only in the mid 80s.
