description: This work involved the fabrication of supercapacitors with rapid charge/discharge rates using waste biomass. Initially, hydrochars were produced using the hydrothermal carbonization of four distinct citrus peels. Subsequently, physical, acidic, and basic activation was employed to enhance surface area and induce porosity. They were analyzed using elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, and SEM examination. The electrochemical performance of the electrodes was assessed using galvanostatic charge-discharge and cyclic voltammetry techniques. The maximum specific capacity recorded was 65.1 mF/cm2 at a current rate of 0.50 mA for the electrode produced through potassium hydroxide activation and calcination. Consequently, it was demonstrated that supercapacitors with comparable specific capacity values may be fabricated from these waste orange peels.

description: From November 2021 to March 2022, lyrics and memorabilia from Paul McCartney's personal archive went on display at the British Library. It is rare to go to libraries to access song lyrics, so this study investigated why the library and Paul McCartney created a display following the release of a lyric book. As inspiration was one of the aims behind this project, inspiring visitors by design was also explored. Firstly, desk research was conducted on the issue of song words, lyric collections, and principles of exhibition design. Secondly, a case study of the display Paul McCartney: the Lyrics (2021) was done to understand the creation of a lyric display. As such, the literature review and interviews with staff illuminated the challenges of collecting lyrics due to a lack of awareness from songwriters to keep their work and a lack of rules in lyric publications. Consequently, a lot of inaccurate lyrics are discoverable on unofficial websites. In addition, the analysis of the findings revealed that cultural institutions can have an impact on how artists and listeners value and consume lyrics. Speaking with stakeholders of the display also highlighted how exhibition makers include their audience in the design of an exhibit. Ultimately, this study concluded that a successful display of lyrics inspires visitors to appreciate lyrics as an artform and to explore the library in new ways.
Language documentation 20 years on

Publisher: name: John Benjamins Publishing Company

Subjects: subject: Language and languages

description: In the last decade of the 20th century a new field of language research emerged that has come to be known as 'language documentation' or 'documentary lingusitics' (Himmelmann 1998, 2002, 2006; Lehmann 2001; Austin 2010; Grenoble 2010; Woodbury 2003, 2011). In this paper we explore how it was defined in the seminal work of Himmelmann (1998) and others, including what were presented as significant characteristics that distinguished language documentation from language description, and how the field has changed and evolved over the past 20 years. A focus on best practices, standards, tools and models for documentary corpora appeared in the early years, which led later to more critical discussions of the goals and methods of language documentation. The paper examines some current developments, including new approaches to language archiving, and suggests that there are new opportunities for language documentation to adopt a more socially-engaged approach to languages and linguistic research, including better engagement with language revitalisation. There are also opportunities to work towards addressing what is currently a language documentation output gap through experimentation with new genres and and innovations in writing and publication.

description: Even though the notion of somewhat fuzzy continuous function and somewhat fuzzy semicontinuous function are not at all continuous functions, they have been developed by many authors considerably. In this way, this article aims to introduce and investigate the concepts of somewhat fuzzy, completely irresolute mapping, and somewhat fuzzy, completely irresolute open mapping. Moreover, some examples, compositions,  few interesting relationships between those mappings are discussed.

description: In this study, the detection of damaged starch ratio on synthesized graphene-based electrocatalysts were evaluated based on the iodine oxidation mechanism. Electrocatalysts were synthesized by three different electrochemical exfoliation techniques. Synthesized catalysts were tested in a three-electrode system with electrolytes mixed with flours at different damaged starch ratios (at 16.5, 25 and 30 UCD values). For the electrochemical tests related to iodine absorption, electrolyte solutions were prepared according to Medcalf and Gilles principle; cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were performed at 50 mV/s in the range of 0–1 V vs. SCE; and at a potential of 1 V vs. SCE. The synthesized catalysts showed reversible reaction properties by giving anodic and cathodic peaks of iodine in the three-electrode system. The exfoliated graphene samples were characterized via standard tools such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and UV-vis spectroscopy. After all, it was seen that the G2 type electrocatalyst has the highest sensitivity to iodine absorption and potential for use in damaged starch detection.

description: The article is dedicated to the experimental study of ultra-small carbon particles, containing from several to several tens of carbon atoms. In the absence of sufficient experimental data in this area, the theoretical notion considers carbon polyene structures as of flat rings with alternating triple and single bonds between carbon atoms and an even number of carbon atoms in ring structures as being the more favorable energy-wise. However, currently reliable evidence of the true structure of carbon rings that can occur naturally is lacking. Here, we show that the carbon nanoparticle synthesis by pyrolysis of gaseous hydrocarbons in a cyclic piston-cylinder compression reactor produces carbon rings with double bonds between carbon atoms, i.e. with a cumulene structure, contrary to the current theoretical notion. We believe that the cumulene structures are more favorable energy-wise due to the specific shape of carbon rings, which appear as a Grover washer or a helix turn. Our results are corroborated by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy of the samples obtained, as well as by density functional theory calculations. We believe that our work will bring more clarity to the issues surrounding the formation of carbon particles of the smallest sizes.

description: This chapter examines the revolutin in media within music based on Friedrich Kittler's work. It highlights Kittler's musical preferences, from Richard Wagner to Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd. For Kittler this music exemplified an "other music" that was based on a cutout from the totality of "worldwide noise" as it was theorized after Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche, and not on a theory of harmonic order. It also considers Kittler's turn toward noise, interpreting it to be a turn away from language as a model for music and toward mathematics and media as a model. Finally, it discusses how sound became the new anchor for listening in the twentieth century and argues that Kittler's practice and concept of listening may be understood as replacing interpretation with feedback systems.

The earliest socketed axes in southeastern Europe. Tracking the spread of a Bronze Age technological innovation

Publisher: name: Hadrian Books

Subjects: subject: Antiquities, Prehistoric
subject: Archaeology

description: Although their early evolution is largely obscure, socketed axes are among the most numerous artefacts of
the Southeastern European Late Bronze Age. They seem to appear all at once in a horizon of hoards conventionally
parallelized with the Central European Bz D phase. Some researchers have tried to explain this sudden occurrence as
the result of a local development which began with Early Bronze Age socketed chisels. Others seek their origin in the
Seima-Turbino metalwork horizon (in which socketed axes are already attested to in the first quarter of the 2nd millennium
BC). Starting from there, a complex pattern of transmission through different cultural milieus is suggested until
their arrival in the Carpathian Basin around 1300 BC. The present contribution sets out to clarify some aspects of the
invention and spread of this Bronze Age innovation.

description: (a) Hard sudoku puzzles are usually designed for defying our logical reasonings, so we can counter with the Principle of Least Choice (PLC) by selecting the least likely one when facing the multiple choices of our next move. The harder the puzzle, the more often PLC is recommended to be used; (b) This lecture serves as the preface for promoting the natural Sudoku (Sudoku with 17 givens). Accordingly, I plan to give a series of lectures, each containing two puzzles with illustrative solutions, the second one of which is the demonstration of the first of the 49 practice puzzles with annotated solutions. All natural Sudoku puzzles are downloaded from Gordon Royle list; (c) The minimum of 17 givens is required for a Sudoku puzzle to not having multiple solutions. There are no extra givens that puzzle makers can maneuver to design extremely hard Sudoku. Therefore, we shall not use PLC at all for any of our lectures. Hard puzzles can sometimes be solved by the construction of strategic flipflops; (d) The purpose of my lectures is for you not to waste time in playing Sudoku. In addition to the introduction of efficient methods, we most importantly screen out those puzzles with multiple or no solutions in the collection of practice sets for you; (e) The lectures are presented in the power point format, convenient for any interested instructors to use; and (f) Mini Martial Art Fiction is attached in the appendix.

description: Al2O3 is more economical and easier to be physically doped to prepare epoxy resin (EP) composites for actual production. The effect of various alumina types on the properties of epoxy resin casting materials intended for Ultra-High Voltage (UHV) electrical applications was investigated. The electrical and mechanical properties of epoxy resin casting materials were examined. Based on the assessment of physical and chemical properties, as well as electrical and mechanical characteristics, A-Al2O3/EP exhibited the highest glass transition temperature (Tg) and the most efficient curing process, with its viscosity changing at the fastest rate. The tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength (7.5 J), compressive strength and elongation (tensile and flexural) tests demonstrated that A-Al2O3/EP possessed commendable mechanical properties. Furthermore, A-Al2O3/EP displayed superior electrical properties, according to the evaluations of electric breakdown strength, dielectric constant, and volume resistivity. The viscosity growth of A-Al2O3/EP was the fastest at 110 and 120 °C, and the Tg of A-Al2O3/EP was the highest in the three samples, displaying both mechanical and electrical tests. It could be concluded that A-Al2O3 significantly facilitated the curing reaction. Moreover, GIS units incorporating epoxy resin casting materials were developed using A-Al2O3 as the filler.
Heretics, Dissidents, and Society: Narrating the Trial of John bar ʿAbdun
Creators: name: Roberts, Alexandre
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2022

description: In 1029, the resident synod of Constantinople, led by Patriarch Alexios the Stoudite, condemned the Jacobite patriarch John VIII bar ʿAbdun as a heretic. This event has been woven into modern narratives of Byzantine persecution and intolerance against the Syrian Miaphysite Christians in the recently conquered eastern territories of the Byzantine Empire, especially the city of Melitene. Building on a recent reevaluation of that prevailing interpretation, the present article reads our key narrative sources for the trial of John bar ʿAbdun as reflecting and constituting competing arguments not only about the Jacobite patriarch’s innocence or guilt, but also, more subtly, about the very terms in which these questions should be framed. It argues that the ethnic and religious categories mentioned in the narratives did not correspond to fixed social groups but rather needed to be mobilized and activated, and that this is an important part of what certain historical actors described by the narratives — and the narratives themselves — were seeking to do. More broadly, the unexpected convergences among the narratives, and unexpected strategies within individual narratives, demonstrate that we must rethink how we narrate the history of medieval ecclesiastical disputes, ethnic and religious communities, and Christian attitudes towards orthodoxy and empire.

World-Making and Grammatical Impasse

description: 2016. “To speak of the secular is to speak of the world. Or, more precisely, it is to speak of the age of the world, which for Christianity marked a time between the Christ’s advent and return, and which for the secular modern came to mark a time in which “religion” would be superseded. However one goes about parsing the continuities and/or discontinuities of Christianity and the secular, one ends up with the fact—the evident doing and making—of the world. […] More essential than the question of whether the post-secular (as that which follows from the critique of the secular) diverges from the secular is the question of whether the post-secular (or the critique of the secular) diverges from the world. The survival of the world, after all, is a matter of reproduction, of a development and futurity that—even (or especially) when emergent in the guise of crisis or threat—manages to extend itself in ever more supple and micro-calibrated degrees. Is the critique of the secular a critique of the world? It is certainly the case that the critique of the secular, understood in its broadest or most inclusive sense, calls attention to the fact that the secular does not succeed in fulfilling its claims. This failure of fulfillment is often oriented around historical prognostication (the secularization the- sis), but the more pressing issue—in my mind—concerns the ethical or political.”

description: Geometric structures, bonding characteristics, charge distributions, electron delocalization and aromaticity, UV–Vis spectra, reactivity and infrared spectra of B2N2C14 isomers with -NBNB- (A), -BNNB- (B) and -NBBN- (C) unit have been thoroughly investigated at ωb97xd/def2-tzvp level. Calculation results indicate that different connection manners of two B–N units in B2N2C14 isomers have dramatic influence on their structures and properties. Long axis diameter and short axis diameter of compound A, B and C are 7.78 Å and 7.01 Å, 7.50 Å and 7.38 Å, 7.69 Å and 7.21 Å, respectively. Among the three compounds, B has the longest longer C–C bond, while compound C has the shortest shorter C–C bond. They all have no global aromaticity, and bear somewhat anti-aromaticity feature. λmax of A is larger than B and C, and extends to 507.35 nm. The respective most negative LEAE (local electron attachment energy) values of compound A, B and C are −1.56 eV, −0.99 eV and −2.48 eV, and C is most prone to nucleophilic reactions.
The Creation of Non-Being

Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2022

description: 2016. “Anti-blackness operates axiomatically. This is the case, at least, insofar as we speak of what Frank B. Wilderson, III, has called “the world” (Wilderson 2003: 234). The aim of this essay is to address the consequences of this axiomatic operation for some rather classical terms of reference within continental philosophy, such as being, analogy, communication, possibility. Such terms are the means by which the world claims to grant itself coherence; they form the grammatical ground, the structuring condition, of the world. If the “gratuitous violence” of anti-blackness extends into the very “grammar” of the world (Wilderson 2010: 38, 131), then the aforementioned terms—far from providing retreat into a “metaphysical” domain unaffected by the historical and material—serve as points for the articulation of antagonism toward anti-blackness. […] Maurizio Lazzarato's analysis of contemporary capitalism approaches the anti-blackness analyzed by Wilderson. Lazzarato argues that capitalism is not grounded in any coherent science of economy, but is an enactment of the power to make indebted beings. It is by way of this emphasis on power that he links a purportedly secular capitalism to the theological structure of Christianity—that is, to a being that acts gratuitously, or without ground. Yet Lazzarato, I argue, ultimately wards off an encounter with anti-blackness through reliance on a coherence implicit in "the indebted man" (Lazzarato 2012: 8). I elaborate this argument by drawing on Gilles Deleuze's concept of "difference in itself" (Deleuze 1994: 36-89)”

description: Porphyrins are macrocyclic compounds made up of four pyrrole rings connected by methine bridges. The delocalised π-conjugation on the tetrapyrrole rings allows efficient electron transfer and high electronic conductivity, making porphyrin derivatives ideal for electrode materials in energy storage devices. This study investigates the capacitance properties of symmetric (SY4) and asymmetric (SY2) meso-aryl porphyrin derivatives using modified carbon felt electrodes (CFE). Electrochemical measurements in acidic, basic, and neutral solutions were performed to determine the most effective working medium. After understanding the energy storage mechanisms for SY2/CFE and SY4/CFE, a series of electrochemical tests were conducted to determine the specific capacitance values of both materials. Cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and galvanostatic charge-discharge techniques were used to evaluate capacitive performance. CV data showed maximum specific capacitances of 158 F/g (at 5 mV/s) for SY2/CFE and 326 F/g (at 1 mV/s) for SY4/CFE. At 0.5 A/g, the specific capacitance values were 336 F/g for SY2/CFE and 63 F/g for SY4/CFE. The maximum energy density for SY2/CFE was 184 Wh/kg, while SY4/CFE had a maximum power density of 1890 W/kg. Stability tests showed a 68% performance retention for SY4/CFE and a 56% increase for SY2/CFE after 500 cycles.
The Immanent Refusal of Conversion

Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2022

description: 2014. This piece was written in (and against) a moment when a universalism based on some manner of relating to St. Paul was prominent in certain theoretical discourses. I attempted here, via an essayistic approach, to constellate problems and positions in a manner that would cut against many of the habits in continental philosophy of religion that gave rise to such Pauline-relating universalism. More precisely, I attempted: (1) to point to the divisionality within Christian universalism and the continuation of this logic in colonialism, racial slavery, philosophical dualism, and whiteness; (2) to center instead the thought of Malcolm X and specifically to observe how he provides, by way of Islam, a radically different approach to Oneness/difference and explicitly connects such themes, along with the question of “religion” in general, to an anti-colonial political horizon. This essay foregrounds an intervention at the level of narratology and tries to call attention to the ongoingness of a “past” that is precluded by a certain logic of conversion; I continue to work on many other problematics and questions that emerge within the essay and that, I believe, call for further elaboration. (Also, just in case it is not evident: “conversion,” insofar as it is opposed in this essay, refers to that which follows the pattern of a Christianity that is understood in terms of divisionality. This is certainly not meant to deny that there may be other kinds of conversion and varieties of Christianity.)
American Mining Engineers and the Global Copper Industry, 1880–1945

description: Transnational mobility was characteristic of the profession of mining engineer in the early twentieth century and the skills required in this profession encompassed both wide-ranging technical competencies and labour management, which clearly was racialized.

The chapter uses these two features of the profession of mining engineer to make two contributions to the literature. The first is a case study of the mobility of American mining engineers in the copper industry using a database constructed from the 1937 membership list of the Mining and Metallurgical Society of America (MMSA). This was an invitation-only society for mining professionals in the upper echelons of the industry, most of whom were closely connected to the copper industry. It is often argued that mining engineers are particularly mobile professionals, and using this case study I show this quantitatively. The second contribution shows the strength of taking a global perspective by examining the connections among copper mining regions in North America, Latin America, and Central Africa. I use these connections to explain how these distant and disparate places became similar to each other, a process Christopher Bayly referred to as the rise of "global uniformities." One driver of the creation of these similarities was the activities of American mining engineers, who were remarkably and customarily mobile in their careers and consciously sought to emulate and reproduce ideas and practices from other mining regions.

description: In this study, onion carbon-modified Mn0.5Cd0.5S (OC/MCS), a novel composite photocatalytic material, was successfully synthesized via a viable hydrothermal process. Techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were employed to comprehensively investigate its morphology, structure and photo-properties. The photocatalytic hydrogen production performance was also measured. The results indicated that the optimal OC/MCS sample achieved a hydrogen production rate of 3582.84 μmol h−1 g−1, which was 6.6 times higher than that of the original MCS. The apparent quantum efficiency at 420 nm was 6.31%. After four times cycling experiments, the photocatalytic performance remained relatively stable. The incorporated OC could serve as electron acceptors, facilitating the separation of holes and electrons in OC/MCS. This not only enhanced the hydrogen production property of the photocatalyst but also ensured excellent stability. Finally, a mechanism for hydrogen production over OC/MCS was proposed.

description: In this study, indole was chemically polymerized (PIN) onto nickel oxide-graphene (NiO-GR) layers and attached to carbon cloth, forming a composite material (PIN-NiO-GR). The electrochemical performance and capacitive properties of this material were further investigated in alkaline medium using cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and chronopotentiometry (CP) techniques. The lifespan and stability of PIN-NiO-GR composite were evaluated through galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD) measurements. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were also employed to study the physical and chemical characteristics of the PIN-NiO-GR composite. Electrochemical study revealed that the PIN-NiO-GR electrode reaches specific capacitance at a current density of 427.3 F g−1 at 1.2 A g −1 with good cycling stability. It is able to retain 95.7% of initial capacitance after 2000 cycles at the same current density. The electrochemical results deduced from GCD curves and CV were complementary as they confirmed the promise of the PIN-NiO-GR nanocomposite electrode for use in flexible energy storage devices.

description: As zine culture is popularized, the need for alternative publications in public and academic libraries is no longer something to be argued for, but rather something to be expected. The role of the zine librarian shifts from forming and establishing zine libraries to a longevity struggle of creating sustainable zine library models. The significance of the study lies within the specialized knowledge, current practices and lived experiences, with an emphasis on the need for institutional buy-in, succession planning, and continually building community within zine librarians networks.

Violence, Political Strategy and the Turn to Guerrilla Warfare by the Congress Movement in South Africa
Creators: name: Stevens, Simon
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2021

description: The Congress movement in South Africa was transformed in the early 1960s from a movement committed to the exclusive use of non-violent means in the struggle against apartheid to one focused on rural guerrilla warfare as a free-standing and sufficient first step towards ‘all-out war’ and the armed seizure of power. But few, if any, of the participants in the Congress movement’s deliberations in 1960–61 on whether to ‘turn to violence’ had believed that this was the strategy that they were endorsing when they authorised the abandonment of exclusive reliance on non-violence. The choice facing the Congress movement after 1960 was not between mutually exclusive alternatives of ‘non-violence’ on the one hand and ‘violence’ or ‘armed struggle’ on the other. Rather, Congress leaders contemplated a range of different forms of violent action and considered their relationship to various forms of non-violent activity and to the kind of transition from apartheid that these actions could and should be intended to produce. This article analyses the range of strategic options that were canvassed within the Congress leadership in the early 1960s and the decision-making process by which those options were gradually narrowed. That process was shaped by ambiguity, unilateral action, unintended consequences and state repression, with the result that the Congress movement’s ‘turn to violence’ ultimately took a form that few Congress leaders had initially desired or anticipated.
The Turn to Sabotage by The Congress Movement in South Africa
Creators: name: Stevens, Simon
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2019

description: Why did leaders of the Congress movement in South Africa abandon their exclusive reliance on non-violent means in the struggle against apartheid, form an armed unit (Umkhonto we Sizwe), and launch a campaign of spectacular sabotage bombings of symbols of apartheid in 1961? None of the earlier violent struggles from which Congress leaders drew inspiration, and none of the contemporaneous insurgencies against white minority rule elsewhere in southern Africa, involved a similar distinct, preliminary and extended phase of non-lethal symbolic sabotage. Following the 1960 Sharpeville massacre, Congress leaders feared the social and political consequences of increased popular enthusiasm for using violence. Nelson Mandela, Joe Slovo, and the other founders of Umkhonto we Sizwe did not launch their sabotage campaign because they believed it would prompt a change of heart among white South Africans, nor because they believed urban sabotage bombings were a necessary prelude to the launch of rural guerrilla warfare. Rather, the sabotage campaign was a spectacular placeholder, a stopgap intended to advertise the Congress movement's abandonment of exclusive non-violence and thus to discourage opponents of apartheid, both inside and outside South Africa, from supporting rival groups or initiating uncontrolled violent action themselves.

description: To assess the nutritive value of minor cereals cultivated in arid areas of Algeria, nine pearl millet landraces were sampled from two regions: Tidikelt and Hoggar. Some qualitative and quantitative characters of the panicle and grain were measured, as well as in vitro starch digestion of the grain flour. Considerable variation was recorded in seed color, endosperm texture and nutritional value of starch and protein content. In vitro starch digestion displayed a first-order kinetic model. For all pearl millet landraces, starch was digested to a different extent; the hydrolysis index (HI) ranged from 22.29% to 35.52% and the expected glycemic index (eGI) ranged from 27.41 to 38.82. The results show that there is diversity in the physical and chemical properties of pearl millet accessions from the arid areas of Algeria: Tidikelt and Hoggar. This study confirms that pearl millet has an acceptable nutritional value with a low glycemic index suitable for human health and nutrition.

The External Struggle against Apartheid: New Perspectives
Creators: name: Stevens, Simon
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2016

description: Stevens reviews Ryan Irwin’s 'Gordian Knot: Apartheid and the Unmaking of the Liberal World Order' (2012) and Rob Skinner’s 'The Foundations of Anti-Apartheid: Liberal Humanitarians and Transnational Activists in Britain and the United States, c. 1919–64' (2010), two of the first published studies from an emerging stream of more detached and critical scholarship on the global anti-apartheid movement. The review essay addresses the questions of periodization, strategy, ideology, and the kinds of actors on which scholars focus, highlighting the ways in which these books advance the study of the external struggle against apartheid and the avenues for future research that they suggest.

description: Nanofluids have the potential to improve the performance of heat transfer systems by enhancing the fluid thermal properties. In the work presented here the stability, density, thermal conductivity, and viscosity of two types of nanofluids containing amorphous carbon nanospheres dispersed in water and in a water/ethanol mixture were evaluated experimentally at volumetric concentrations from 0.2% to 2.0% in the temperature range 10–40 °C. The carbon nanospheres were synthesized through hydrothermal oxidation of glucose. Obtained zeta potential values between −51.5 and −151.0 mV revealed the higher stability of the water/ethanol nanofluids, however, the water-based nanofluids exhibited greater thermal conductivity, reaching a maximum increment of 9.29% at 40 °C and 2% of concentration. The maximum thermal conductivity increment of the water/ethanol nanofluids was 5.32%. In addition, substantial viscosity increments were obtained for both types of nanofluids. The maximum viscosity increments found at 40 °C and 2% of concentration were 66.92% for the water-based nanofluids, and 74.70% for the water/ethanol nanofluids. The changes of density were considerably low, remaining under 2% for both nanofluid types at all cases. In addition, a specific heat value of 770.7 J/kg·K was obtained for the solid nanospheres and used to explore the nanofluids specific heat behavior through a suitable correlation.

description: En este estudio se abordan dos figuras claves de la literatura universal, Ana Ozores, la Regenta, y Jane Eyre. Esta aproximación se realiza desde un punto de vista feminista y comparado, pero sin olvidar las características esenciales de ambos personajes ni el contexto de la novela en el que se insertan. Aunque las dos heroínas pertenecen a tradiciones literarias muy distintas, se señalarán sus numerosas similitudes. Especialmente, nos detendremos en las relacionadas con el conflicto que ambas viven con la sociedad patriarcal de su época, y en el deseo que manifiestan de transgredir las normas impuestas desde esta. Las dificultades a afrontar, unidas a su propia marginalidad, las llevarán a la enfermedad y la locura, pero su destino final no podría ser más distinto. Trataremos de intuir las claves del éxito de una y del fracaso de la otra.
