A critical review of four novels by Celia Brayfield considering their production and impact in the context of contemporary literatureBrayfield, Celia January 2015 (has links)
This critical review of four novels by Celia Brayfield, Getting Home, Mister Fabulous And Friends, Heartswap and Wild Weekend, outlines the themes that give the works defining coherence, which are a feminist evaluation of gender roles and an exploration of the relationship between space or place in millennial Britain. The author contextualises her novels in considering literary representations of the suburb in literature and use of the device of gender reversal in fiction. The review demonstrates that the novels make a significant and coherent contribution to knowledge as resonant and well-received creative works and provides an assessment of their international and national impact. In discussing the inspiration and influences of her work, her choices in characterisation, narrative and dramatised argument, and in particular her decision to create responses to two classic texts using the device of gender reversal, the author justifies the overarching approach and methodologies used for these novels.

Bladed Disk Crack Detection Through Advanced Analysis of Blade Passage SignalsAlavifoumani, Elhamosadat January 2013 (has links)
Crack initiation and propagation in the bladed disks of aero-engines caused by high-cycle fatigue under cyclic loads could result in the breakdown of the engines if not detected at an early stage. Although a number of fault detection methods have been reported in the literature, it still remains very challenging to develop a reliable online technique to accurately diagnose defects in bladed disks. One of the main challenges is to characterize signals contaminated by noises. These noises caused by very dynamic engine operation environment. This work presents a new technique for engine bladed disk crack detection, which utilizes advanced analysis of clearance and time-of-arrival signals acquired from blade tip sensors. This technique involves two stages of signal processing: 1) signal pre-processing for noise elimination from predetermined causes; and 2) signal post-processing for characterizing crack initiation and location. Experimental results from the spin rig test were used to validate technique predictions.

Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, Architecture and Origin of Deep-water, Basin-floor Deposits: Middle and Upper Kaza Group, Windermere Supergroup, B.C., CanadaTerlaky, Viktor January 2014 (has links)
Ancient basin-floor strata are exceptionally well exposed in the Neoproterozoic Windermere Supergroup in the southern Canadian Cordillera. Data from the Castle Creek outcrop, where strata of the upper Kaza Group crop out, and the Mt. Quanstrom outcrop, where the middle Kaza is exposed, form the main dataset for this study. The aim of this study is to describe and interpret the strata starting at the bed scale, followed by stratal element scale, lobe scale and ultimately fan scale.
Strata of the Kaza Group comprise six sedimentary facies representing deposition from a variety of fluid and cohesive sediment gravity flows. These, in turn, populate seven stratal elements that are defined by their basal contact, cross-sectional geometry and internal facies distribution. The lithological characteristics of stratal elements vary little from proximal to more distal settings, but their relative abundance and stacking pattern do, which, then, forms the basis for modeling the internal architecture of lobes.
Lobes typically comprise an assemblage of stratal elements, which then are systematically and predictably arranged in both space (along a single depositional transect) and time (stratigraphically upward). Lobes typically became initiated by channel avulsion. In the proximal part of the system scours up to several meters deep, several tens of meters wide are interpreted to have formed by erosion downflow of the avulsion node. Erosion also charged the flow with fine-grained sediment and on the lateral margins and downflow avulsion splays were deposited. Later flows then exploited the basin-floor topography and on the proximal basin-floor carved a feeder channel, which then fed a downflow depositional lobe. At the mouths of feeder channels flows became dispersed through a network of distributary channels that further downflow shallow and widen until eventually merging laterally in sandstone-rich terminal splays. During the lifespan of a single lobe the feeder channel remains fixed, but the distributary channel network and its associated terminal splays wander, causing them to stack and be intercalated laterally and vertically. Eventually an upstream avulsion terminates local sediment supply, causing a new lobe to be initiated elsewhere on the fan, and the process repeats.

Previous issue date: 2016 / Esta dissertação se constitui enquanto um trabalho de pesquisa-ação a respeito da leitura e da produção textual de contos fantásticos e fanfictions, ligado à grande área da Linguística Aplicada. O objetivo geral estabelecido para este trabalho foi desenvolver uma pesquisa de elaboração didática de leitura, produção textual escrita e análise linguística de contos fantásticos e fanfictions articulando ao texto elementos multi e hipermodais, de modo a investigar se a presença e a introdução desses elementos nas aulas de Língua Portuguesa ampliam o desempenho dos alunos na produção textual, de um modo geral e, em particular, de contos fantásticos e fanfictions. Para tanto, foi desenvolvida uma proposta de elaboração didática durante as aulas de Língua Portuguesa de uma turma de 7º ano do Ensino Fundamental, em uma escola da rede estadual de educação de Santa Catarina, situada na região do Vale do Itajaí. O desenvolvimento das aulas culminou com a realização de uma atividade de produção textual com os gêneros discursivos conto fantástico e fanfiction. Tendo em vista o incentivo da articulação de elementos multimodais nos textos dos alunos, as produções textuais foram postadas em perfis de blogs criados por eles durante as aulas da pesquisa-ação. Para analisar tais produções, contamos com um referencial teórico embasado nos estudos do Círculo de Bakhtin, entre outros autores estudiosos do ensino e aprendizagem de Língua Portuguesa na esfera escolar, da área do Letramento e dos Multiletramentos. Em decorrência de tais análises, foi possível identificar que houve a articulação dos elementos multi e hipermodais no que se refere à produção textual dos alunos e que tal articulação contribuiu para a construção de novos conhecimentos não só em relação à produção textual, mas também à leitura e às práticas de análise linguística.<br> / Abstract : This work is constituted as an action research about reading and textual production of fantastic tales and fanfictions, liked to Applied Linguistics research area.

Buying in: Analyzing the First Fan Adopters of a New National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football ProgramGreene, Amanda, O’Neil, Kason, Russell, Kylie, Johnston, Brian 31 May 2018 (has links)
Establishing a strong fan base within the inaugural year of a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Program presents many challenges. Tracking consumers and their behavior becomes imperative as sport marketers seek to better understand the first fan adopters of a new program. With new NCAA football programs being established every year, sport marketers of a new program are challenged to not only find a loyal fan-base who will continue to support the program despite win or lose, but find new and innovative ways to grow their fan base. The purpose of this study was to examine attendance demographics and consumer behavior for the inaugural football season at a NCAA Division 1 program. Data were collected (n = 914) from a relatively equal distribution of fan groups (students- 34.8%, alumni- 32.9%, and other- 32.3%) via an in-person survey completed on a tablet interface. Results demonstrate that the level of fandom (temporary, devoted, or fanatic) impacts certain consumer behaviors, including; overall support of the program, media consumption, and game day behaviors.

The Impact of Nanostructured Templates and Additives on the Performance of Si Electrodes and Solid Polymer Electrolytes for Advanced Battery ApplicationsFan, Jui Chin 01 July 2018 (has links)
The primary objectives of this research are: (1) use a hierarchical structure to study electrode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and (2) understand the fundamentals and utility of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) with the addition of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) for battery applications. Understanding the fundamental principles of electrode and electrolyte materials allows for the development of high-performance LIBs. The contributions of this dissertation are described below. Encapsulated Si-VACNT Electrodes. Two hurdles prevent Si-based electrodes from mass production. First, bulk Si undergoes volume expansion up to 300%. Second, a solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) forms between the interface of the electrolyte and electrode, which consumes battery capacity and creates more resistance at the interface. Si volume changes were overcome by depositing silicon on vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs). Encapsulating the entire Si-VACNT electrode surface with carbon was used to mitigate SEI formation. Although SEI formation was reduced by the encapsulation layer, capacity fade was still observed for encapsulated electrodes, indicating that SEI formation was not the primary factor affecting capacity fade. Additionally, the impact of the encapsulation layer on Li transport was examined. Two different transport directions and length scales were relevant””(1) radial transport of Li in/out of each Si-coated nanotube (~40 nm diameter) and (2) Li transport along the length of the nanotubes (~10 µm height). Experimental results indicated that the height of the Si-VACNT electrodes did not limit Li transport, even though that height was orders of magnitude greater than the diameter of the tubes. Simulation and experimental data indicated that time constant for Li diffusion into silicon was slow, even though the diffusion distance was short relative to the tube height. Other factors such as diffusion-induced stress likely had a significant impact on diffusion through the thin silicon layer. Solid Polymer Electrolytes. A thorough understanding of the relationships between physical, transport, and electrochemical properties was studied. HNT addition to polyethylene oxide (PEO) electrolytes not only improved the physical properties, such as reduction of the crystallinity of PEO, but also enhanced transport properties like the salt diffusivity. The processing steps were important for achieving enhanced properties. Moreover, HNTs were found to stabilize the interfacial properties of the SPE films during cycling. Specifically, HNT-containing SPE films were successfully cycled at room temperature, which may have important implications for SPE-based batteries.
