Theologia of transparent objects

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The cultural philosopher Jean Baudrillard in his work Le Système Des Objets looked at the meanings of the object per se and came to the conclusion that we, ‘and objects are indeed bound together in a collusion in which the objects take on a certain density, an emotional value – what might be called a ‘presence’.’ (Baudrillard, J. 2005, p.14) His study of the meanings, therefore the language of objects, draws attention to the fact that they are always in movement away from our attempts to project meaning onto them, that they have a dimension which transcends their function for us and that is their technology, from whence they were made. \nI argue that particularly in the case of transparent objects there is a further ‘transcendence’, that of the spiritual, or theological, and look at the relationship between meaning and language in response to such a ‘presence’. This thesis is a systemic journey on the meanings and ‘dialogue’ of transparent objects, utilising case studies of selected objects and a self-reflexive research method, with the inclusion of autobiographical material. What is commonly thought of as the ‘transparent’ is examined as locus of dynamics of the self, alongside the ‘subtle’ transparency of the iconic function. I question what it is that transparent objects can tell us about our shared reality, through our apprehension of them and their particular qualities, what dialogues they bring forth, how do they in particular function as ‘earth angels’ (McNiff, 1995) and what they can bring, channel or enable.
‘I fear a bill relating to me be gone for England’: Implementing article 13 of Limerick, 1698–1708

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

From September 1698 until his death in 1711, the bulk of John Browne's time was occupied by the sale of his estate and the process of clearing his debts. A second act of parliament to regulate the sale of the Browne estate was found to be necessary as early as 1697. The first two sections of this chapter examine several attempts to have this second act passed by the Irish parliament in 1698 and again during the session of 1703–4, before eventual success in 1705. Even that was not the final word on the matter, with a third act sought in 1709. The efforts of 1698 were important as they marked the first time that Browne was not actively involved in seeking the acts, which threatened to take away whatever control he still retained of his affairs. Browne fought hard against such a scenario, occasionally making a personal appearance in Dublin, though more usually relying on his eldest son, Peter, and various agents to protect his interests in Dublin and in London. Section III traces the sale of the Browne estate between 1698 and 1708, and payments made to creditors in the same period. By the time the process had concluded, almost nothing of Browne's once vast estate remained in his possession. Peter Browne became increasingly important in this process as the seventeenth century drew to a close. Peter's ambitions in life were subordinated to his family obligations as heir to the estate – or what little would remain once his father's debts were paid. Perhaps the greatest challenge facing Peter was the daunting prospect of rebuilding his family's landed interest and fortune. That work was undertaken as the sale of the estate progressed. Several purchasers of the estate clearly acted in concert with the Brownes, allowing Peter to immediately take out favourable leases as he sought to resurrect his family's fortunes.

Application of update lifting morphological wavelet and non-negative matrix factorization for wheeled and tracked vehicles classification

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract This paper presents an available scheme based on update lifting morphological wavelet (ULMW) and Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) for wheeled and tracked vehicles classification. The ULWM algorithm which utilizes the update operator, means the morphological filter to replace the linear filter can preserve the impulsive shape details in seismic signal. Meanwhile the NMF method can reduce the computation cost. The traditional linear wavelet analysis and statistical analysis are compared with the presented scheme. Experimental results demonstrate that the presented scheme achieves a promising performance on extracting impulsive features of seismic signal and recognizing ground moving target.
Effect of kangaroo mother care on the weight gain of the low birth weight preterm infants

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

A premature birth is one that occurs before the start of the 37th week of pregnancy. Preterm birth is commonly associated with Low birth weight (LBW), often have complicated medical problems. They may need extra care. Kangaroo mother care (KMC), care with skin to skin contact with mother or care giver has now become the standard of care either as an alternative to or an adjunct to technology based care. Objective of the study was to Effect of Kangaroo Mother Care on the weight gain of the Low birth Preterm Infants. 51 infants were included for the study; KMC was given for special neonatal care. LBW infants between 1000-1500 grams of birth weight & of gestational age 27-35.6 weeks were included in the study. Initial weight of the child as well as the KMC hours for the day were recorded for seven consecutive days. The Infants showed significant difference in weight gain between baseline & final assessment, with a P value of 0.00481. Thus, the study resulted with a positive outcome with a significant weight gain as well as with development of a strong mother-child bond through long hours of protective skin to skin contact.
Dynamical reliability and availability evaluation and validation of distributed control systems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The evaluation of reliability and availability of control distributed systems is the main purpose of this paper. These control systems are composed of intelligent sensors and actuators (with calculation capabilities and communication interfaces), processing units, and a communication network, e.g. fieldbus or real-time network. The modeling of the system is ensured thanks to Petri Nets. Color Petri Nets allow the evaluation of both the dependability aspects and the performances with a control point of view. In order to get some results, it is possible to achieve a simulation or to make an analysis of the occurrence graph. The work presented is a model of a tank, in which the level of the liquid is controlled. An analogue sensor is used for the measurement of the level and is used for the control of the pump which fill the tank. The sensor is extended by some possibilities not to supply the controller with a measurement, as a result of a failure, and a degraded strategy can so be set. The evaluation of the reachability of this state after failure is achieved thanks to the occurrence graph tool. The global aim is to propose a methodology for the evaluation and comparison of distributed architectures.
Stabilization of Active Magnetic Bearing System Subject to Base Motion

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The active magnetic bearing (AMB) systems mounted in moving vehicles are exposed to the disturbances due to the base motion, often leading to malfunction or damage as well as inaccurate positioning of the systems. Thus, in the controller design of such AMB systems, robustness to base disturbances becomes an essential requirement. In this study, effective control schemes are proposed for the homo-polar AMB system, which uses permanent magnets for generation of bias magnetic flux, when it is subject to base motion, and its control performance is experimentally evaluated. The base motion of AMB system is modeled as the dynamic disturbances in the gravity and base excitation forces. To effectively compensate for the disturbances, the angle feed-forward controller based on the inverse dynamic model and the acceleration feed-forward controller based on the normalized filtered-X LMS algorithm and the inverse dynamic model are proposed. The performance test of the prototype AMB system is carried out, when the system is mounted on a six degrees-of-freedom motion platform. The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed controllers for the AMB system is satisfactory in compensating for the disturbances due to the base motion.
Secondary Structure of the Mature Ex Virio Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus Genomic RNA Dimerization Domain

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Retroviral genomes are dimeric, comprised of two sense-strand RNAs linked at their 5′ ends by noncovalent base pairing and tertiary interactions. Viral maturation involves large-scale morphological changes in viral proteins and in genomic RNA dimer structures to yield infectious virions. Structural studies have largely focused on simplified in vitro models of genomic RNA dimers even though the relationship between these models and authentic viral RNA is unknown. We evaluate the secondary structure of the minimal dimerization domain in genomes isolated from Moloney murine leukemia virions using a quantitative and single nucleotide resolution RNA structure analysis technology (selective 2′-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension, or SHAPE). Results are consistent with an architecture in which the RNA dimer is stabilized by four primary interactions involving two sets of intermolecular base pairs and two loop-loop interactions. The dimerization domain can independently direct its own folding since heating and refolding reproduce the same structure as visualized in genomic RNA isolated from virions. Authentic ex virio RNA has a SHAPE reactivity profile similar to that of a simplified transcript dimer generated in vitro, with the important exception of a region that appears to form a compact stem-loop only in the virion-isolated RNA. Finally, we analyze the conformational changes that accompany folding of monomers into dimers in vitro. These experiments support well-defined structural models for an authentic dimerization domain and also emphasize that many features of mature genomic RNA dimers can be reproduced in vitro using properly designed, simplified RNAs.

The characteristics of a 16 inch liquid helium cooled Cassegrain telescope with vibrating secondary mirror are discussed. The telescope is used in making far infrared astronomical observations. The system houses several different detectors for multicolor photometry. The cooled telescope has a ten to one increase in signal-to-noise ratio over a similar warm version and is installed in a high altitude balloon gondola to obtain data on the H2 region of the galaxy.
Protein S deficiency-induced spermatic vein thrombosis, a rare cause of painful scrotal mass: A case report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A painful scrotal mass requires prompt surgical intervention.Common diagnoses would include testicular torsion, acute epididymo-orchitis, and strangulated inguinal hernia.However, very rarely, it can be diagnosed as a rare clinical disease, including spermatic vein thrombosis (SVT).We present a case of right SVT possibly precipitated by Protein S deficiency, initially presented with a painful right scrotal lump for 2 days.He was treated with Aspirin tablets for 1 week and remained asymptomatic after 3 weeks of initial presentation.At 12 months follow-up, sequelae of right varicocele had developed.SVT is a rare diagnosis with a left-sided prevalence.The etiology of spontaneous SVT remains unclear.In this case, hypercoagulability due to Protein S deficiency could predispose to the formation of venous thrombotic events.Treatment of spontaneous SVT is suggested based on its anatomical location.Complications linked to this disease include varicocele, testicular infarction, pulmonary embolism, and renal vein thrombosis.
Why Do Farmers Fail? Farm Bankruptcies 1910–78

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Abstract Econometric analysis of aggregate time‐series farm‐sector data suggests that prior to World War II the farm bankruptcy rate appears to be associated with financial risk variables, while postwar data show a strong association with business risk variables. There does not appear to be any evidence that agricultural support payments since World War II have induced, deferred, or reduced farm failures.

Optimization of resonance‐type fatigue testing for a full‐scale wind turbine blade

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Fatigue testing of a 48.3 m wind turbine blade needs to utilize the blade's oscillation range of 8.4 m along the flapwise direction for one million cycles. Control of such a remarkable oscillation range makes flapwise fatigue testing difficult and requires a large supply of energy. This study minimized the actuating force required for flapwise fatigue testing using an on‐board‐type resonance exciter with constant amplitude. Constraints related to the exciter's stroke and capacity and the maximum error between target loads and test loads were also considered. Based on a new algorithm suggested in this study, first, we found test setup candidates minimizing the maximum error under a given testing frequency and then found more candidates having slightly larger maximum errors as the exciter's location moved toward the blade's tip. Next, using damping ratio equations for the test blade, a required actuating force of the exciter at each test setup candidate was calculated. Considering the exciter's capacity, we found an optimum test setup that requires a minimum actuating force in the vicinity of the minimum of the maximum error between target loads and test loads. To conclude, the approach suggested in this study was able to conclusively achieve the required fatigue testing of the test blade, avoiding the adverse increase of fatigue testing time possible to happen due to a required actuating force larger than the exciter's capacity.

Unsteady Pre-Stall Behavior in a Centrifugal Compressor With Vaned Diffuser

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Unsteady pre-stall behavior in a centrifugal compressor with a vaned diffuser was investigated by experimental and numerical analysis. The pre-stall disturbances occurred at a slightly higher flow coefficient at the stall point in the diffuser region. Five disturbances occurred in the circumferential direction, and each rotated at approximately 1.7%N at this flow coefficient. Numerical analysis showed that five stall cells rotated at approximately 2.0%N within the diffuser passage. To understand this pre-stall phenomenon, we focused on the rotation mechanism and initiation process of the five-cell rotating stalls. Each of the five-cell stalls was found to rotate by the following mechanism. When the preceding low-velocity region moved to an adjacent passage, the high-velocity region was circumferentially pushed by the low-velocity area and reached the following passage. The incoming flow collided with the backflow around the throat area, and the flow bent at the diffuser inlet of the passage. Consequently, the incidence angle toward the adjacent passage increased, and a separation was induced at the leading edge of the succeeding diffuser vane. Subsequently, the mass flowrate of the succeeding passage started to decrease. These phenomena occurred sequentially, causing the five-cell stalls to rotate. Five stationary low-velocity regions that did not rotate were observed before the initiation of the five-cell rotating stalls. When the outlet mass flowrate decreased, a one-cell rotating stall appeared within the diffuser passage. It provided a low-energy fluid to the diffuser passages where the low-velocity regions existed. Subsequently, five low-velocity regions were clearly formed, which started rotating according to the rotating mechanism explained above.
Planning in and for a post-growth and post-carbon economy

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter examines the distorting and negative sustainability, economic and social impacts of the pro-growth bias within conventional planning thinking and practice and suggests an outline for a post-growth planning system. It outlines what is meant by ‘economic growth’ and identifies some of the main ‘pro-growth’ biases (and carbon energy dependence) within dominant understandings of planning. These include, inter alia, planning’s role in promoting policies and discourses of international competitiveness, the privatisation of public space, support for pro-market urban regeneration and a view of planning as facilitating market-based economic growth. It then proceeds to discuss some features of ‘post-growth’ and ‘post-carbon’ planning. These include the central role of planning in any ‘just transition’ to a low carbon economy; the place of a more proactive state in that planning process, and the integration of social justice ‘floors’ and ecological ‘ceilings’ into any post-carbon, post-growth planning. The chapter concludes that we need new imaginaries and objectives for planning in the 21st century, for conditions very different from those of post-war and late 20th century.
Treatment, risk factors, and outcome of adults with relapsed AML after reduced intensity conditioning for allogeneic stem cell transplantation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Because information on management and outcome of AML relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) is scarce, a retrospective registry study was performed by the Acute Leukemia Working Party of EBMT. Among 2815 RIC transplants performed for AML in complete remission (CR) between 1999 and 2008, cumulative incidence of relapse was 32% ± 1%. Relapsed patients (263) were included into a detailed analysis of risk factors for overall survival (OS) and building of a prognostic score. CR was reinduced in 32%; remission duration after transplantation was the only prognostic factor for response (P = .003). Estimated 2-year OS from relapse was 14%, thereby resembling results of AML relapse after standard conditioning. Among variables available at the time of relapse, remission after HSCT > 5 months (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.50, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.37-0.67, P < .001), bone marrow blasts less than 27% (HR = 0.53, 95% CI, 0.40-0.72, P < .001), and absence of acute GVHD after HSCT (HR = 0.67, 95% CI, 0.49-0.93, P = .017) were associated with better OS. Based on these factors, 3 prognostic groups could be discriminated, showing OS of 32% ± 7%, 19% ± 4%, and 4% ± 2% at 2 years (P < .0001). Long-term survival was achieved almost exclusively after successful induction of CR by cytoreductive therapy, followed either by donor lymphocyte infusion or second HSCT for consolidation.

Various methods to measure and predict binary mutual diffusion coefficients for polymer-solvent systems are reviewed. Typical concentration dependent mutual diffusion coefficients are illustrated and their features are described. Several methods to measure them are also shown. In addition, one of the useful methods based on a dissolved solid coordinate technique is explained in detail and an example is given for the acrylic adhesive-acetone system. Furthermore, three theoretical models to predict the mutual diffusion coefficients are introduced and the predictive ability of each model is discussed.
Manual object exploration and learning about object features in human infants

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Motor activity is central both to cognitive and perceptual development in human infants and to learning in robots. Here we investigated how the quality of 6- to 7-month-old human infants' (N = 60) manual activity with objects is related to their learning about objects in general. Infants' object exploration during a toy play context was related to their learning of the features of dynamic audio-visual events. We found that not only was the amount of activity with objects predictive of infants' learning, but the quality of their motor actions was related to what infants learned about audio-visual events. These findings extend previous work and begin to uncover how infants interact with objects can reflect their developing abilities to learn about objects in other contexts.
