21	Interactions Between an Invasive Epiphytic Bryozoan and Species of Rocky Subtidal Habitats of Nova Scotia Yorke, Alana F 28 September 2010 (has links) In Nova Scotia subtidal habitats, the invasive bryozoan Membranipora membranacea interacts with native bryozoan Electra pilosa on kelps, which offer high space availability but are highly dynamic, and on non-kelp algae, which provide low space but high stability. Settlers and colony cover of M. membranacea at various stages critical to its population dynamics, as well as relative abundance and encounter outcomes of M. membranacea and E. pilosa, were quantified on these substrates. I also examined the effects of various factors on growth rates of E. pilosa. For M. membranacea populations, the roles of kelp and non-kelp substrates varied intra- and inter-annually, as well as spatially. Membranipora membranacea was relatively more abundant on kelps than on Fucus, likely due to large colony size, faster growth, and strong overgrowth abilities. While kelps provide spatial resources for seasonal peaks in abundance of M. membranacea, non-kelp refuges can preserve local populations in time. invasive species population dynamics benthic colonial organisms rocky subtidal habitats Membranipora membranacea Electra pilosa fucoids kelp native species growth competition

23	Etre sœur sur la scène tragique : Electre dans l’Athènes du Ve siècle et dans l’Europe moderne (1525-1830) / Being a sister on the tragic stage : Electra in Athens in the Vth century and in modern Europa (1525-1830) Saint Martin, Marie 15 October 2011 (has links) Dans la réadaptation d’un mythe, l’évolution des mentalités, notamment en ce qui concerne les représentations familiales, donne lieu à de larges remaniements de l’intrigue proposée par la tradition antique. Le mythe d’Electre, peut-être parce qu’il propose un modèle déjà compliqué à assumer pour les Grecs anciens (un fils tuant sa mère), est l’objet d’une transmission difficile. La rareté des Electre au XVIIe siècle, puis les innovations auxquelles les dramaturges sont contraints pour les adapter dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, attestent ces difficultés. Le personnage d’Electre, en tant que sœur, subit des modifications en profondeur, même si elle demeure toujours fidèle à l’idéal de réunion familiale : désormais, cette réunion inclut la mère, ce qui implique un regard très différent sur le matricide. Les réactions de la jeune fille sont parfois difficiles à comprendre ; on peut néanmoins les rattacher, d’un point de vue juridique et social, à des normes auxquelles elles obéissent, même lorsqu’elles semblent les transgresser. La période durant laquelle le mythe d’Electre est le plus dynamique en Europe correspond à un nouvel intérêt pour les relations familiales. L’on peut noter, dans la tragédie, une transition entre des pièces (au XVIIe siècle) où le rôle de la sœur demeure largement indifférencié, vers des pièces (au XIXe) où la sœur est un personnage compris pour la richesse de la relation qu’il entretient avec le frère. Les intrigues consacrées à Electre mettent en avant la relation du frère et de la sœur : cette spécificité contribue à expliquer pourquoi la fable connaît un tel essor, à l’époque même du drame bourgeois. / When adapting a myth to theatre, the plot from the original antique tradition is often largely modified to suit the audience’s mentality of the time, especially as far as the reprensentation of the family ties is concerned. Perhaps because it proposes a model which is complicated even for ancient Greeks to accept (that of a son killing his mother)The Electra myth has had a difficult transmission through the ages. The rare occurences of Electra in the XVIIth century, and the necessary innovations that playwriters had to invent to adapt the subject during the second half of the XVIIIth century confirm those difficulties. As a sister, Electra’s character is deeply modified. Even if she remains attached to an ideal of family unity, this reunion now includes the mother, which implies a totally different view of the matricide in the original text. Although the young woman’s reactions are sometimes difficult to understand, from a legal and social point of view they can be linked to the norms to which they obey, even when they seem to break them. The Electra myth is at its most dynamic time in Europe when a new interest in familial relationships is growing. In tragedy, there is a noticible transition between plays in the XVIIth century where the role of the sister is widely unspecialized, to plays in the XIXth century where the sister character is recognised for its rich relationship with the brother. Intrigues dedicated to Electra stress the relationship between the brother and sister: that specificity helps to explain why this antique fable is so popular at the very same time as the drame bourgeois.

Se contextualizarán ambos poemarios dentro de sus marcos generacionales específicos como su relación con el discurso poético de los movimientos de escritores a los que cada una perteneció (Hora Zero y Kloaka, respectivamente). Para ello, haré uso de la teoría psicoanalítica, especialmente la lacaniana, y de diferentes discursos que se producen dentro del marco de la teoría feminista. El objetivo de esta tesis es analizar cómo la dinámica de los cuerpos femeninos que se enuncian en estos poemarios produce una agencia que cuestiona los discursos masculinos que intentan ejercer un saber y un ejercicio de poder sobre ellos. / Tesis Ollé, Carmen.

26	Automatic Categorization of News Articles With Contextualized Language Models / Automatisk kategorisering av nyhetsartiklar med kontextualiserade språkmodeller Borggren, Lukas January 2021 (has links) This thesis investigates how pre-trained contextualized language models can be adapted for multi-label text classification of Swedish news articles. Various classifiers are built on pre-trained BERT and ELECTRA models, exploring global and local classifier approaches. Furthermore, the effects of domain specialization, using additional metadata features and model compression are investigated. Several hundred thousand news articles are gathered to create unlabeled and labeled datasets for pre-training and fine-tuning, respectively. The findings show that a local classifier approach is superior to a global classifier approach and that BERT outperforms ELECTRA significantly. Notably, a baseline classifier built on SVMs yields competitive performance. The effect of further in-domain pre-training varies; ELECTRA’s performance improves while BERT’s is largely unaffected. It is found that utilizing metadata features in combination with text representations improves performance. Both BERT and ELECTRA exhibit robustness to quantization and pruning, allowing model sizes to be cut in half without any performance loss.

27	Experimental and Numerical Studies of Mist Cooling with Thin Evaporating Subcooled Liquid Films Novak, Vladimir 11 April 2006 (has links) An experimental and numerical investigation has been conducted to examine steady, internal, nozzle-generated, gas/liquid mist cooling in vertical channels with ultra-thin, evaporating subcooled liquid films. Interest in this research has been motivated by the need for a highly efficient cooling mechanism in high-power lasers for inertial fusion reactor applications. The aim is to quantify the effects of various operating and design parameters, viz. liquid atomization nozzle design (i.e. spray geometry, droplet size distribution, etc.), heat flux, liquid mass fraction, film thickness, carrier gas velocity, temperature, and humidity, injected liquid temperature, gas/liquid combinations, channel geometry, length, and wettability, and flow direction, on mist cooling effectiveness. A fully-instrumented experimental test facility has been designed and constructed. The facility includes three cylindrical and two rectangular electrically-heated test sections with different unheated entry lengths. Water is used as the mist liquid with air, or helium, as the carrier gas. Three types of mist generating nozzles with significantly different spray characteristics are used. Numerous experiments have been conducted; local heat transfer coefficients along the channels are obtained for a wide range of operating conditions. The data indicate that mist cooling can increase the heat transfer coefficient by more than an order of magnitude compared to forced convection using only the carrier gas. The data obtained in this investigation will allow designers of mist-cooled high heat flux engineering systems to predict their performance over a wide range of design and operating parameters. Comparison has been made between the data and predictions of a modified version of the KIVA-3V code, a mechanistic, three-dimensional computer program for internal, transient, dispersed two-phase flow applications. Good agreement has been obtained for downward mist flow at moderate heat fluxes; at high heat fluxes, the code underpredicts the local heat transfer coefficients and does not predict the onset of film rupture. For upward mist flow, the code underpredicts the local heat transfer coefficients and, contrary to experimental observations, predicts early dryout at the test section exit.

Τα βιβλιογραφικά κενά και η δράση του, τόσο στην Ελλάδα όσο και στο εξωτερικό, οδήγησαν στην εκπόνηση της παρούσας μελέτης, η οποία επικεντρώνεται στον τρόπο προσέγγισης του αρχαίου ελληνικού δράματος από τον Βολανάκη.Στόχος της εργασίας ήταν η μελέτη τριών παραστάσεων αρχαίας τραγωδίας, της Ηλέκτρας του Σοφοκλή (1975) και της Μήδειας του Ευριπίδη (1976) για το Κρατικό Θέατρο Βορείου Ελλάδος και του Οιδίποδα Τυράννου του Σοφοκλή (1982) για το Εθνικό Θέατρο, και η εξαγωγή συμπερασμάτων σχετικά με τον τρόπο προσέγγισης της αρχαίας ελληνικής τραγωδίας από τον σκηνοθέτη. Ένα από τα θέματα που μελετήθηκαν ήταν η επιλογή του σκηνοθέτη να αναθέτει στις παραστάσεις του τους πρωταγωνιστικούς ρόλους σε πολύ γνωστούς ηθοποιούς, χωρίς να έχουν απαραίτητα προηγούμενη εμπειρία στην αρχαία τραγωδία και χωρίς να προβληματίζεται ιδιαίτερα για το αν ήταν καλή η υπόκρισή τους. Τέλος, εξετάστηκε η ενδεχόμενη συμβολή του Μίνωος Βολανάκη στον εκσυγχρονισμό των παραστάσεων της αρχαίας ελληνικής τραγωδίας στην Ελλάδα. / Minos Volanakis was a popular director of the greek theatre scene, though he has not yet attracted the scholars of theater. The literature gaps and his action, both in Greece and abroad, led to the preparation of this study, which focuses on how Volanakis approached the ancient Greek drama. The aim of my work was to study three performances of ancient tragedy, Sophocles' Electra (1975) and Medea of Euripides (1976) for the State Theater of Northern Greece and Oedipus Rex by Sophocles (1982) for the National Theatre, and draw conclusions about how the director approached the ancient Greek tragedy. One of the issues studied was the director's choice to delegate the leading roles of his performances to well-known actors, who had not necessarily have previous experience in the ancient tragedy. The next issue studied was that he did not particularly worry whether their acting was good enough. To conclude, I studied the possible contribution of Minos Volanakis in the modernization of performances of ancient Greek tragedy in Greece.

29	The Pleiadic Age of Stuart Poesie: Restoration Uranography, Dryden's Judicial Astrology, and the Fate of Anne Killigrew Brown, Morgan Alexander 30 April 2010 (has links) The following Thesis is a survey of seventeenth-century uranography, with specific focus on the use of the Pleiades and Charles's Wain by English poets and pageant writers as astrological ciphers for the Stuart dynasty (1603-1649; 1660-1688). I then use that survey to address the problem of irony in John Dryden's 1685 Pindaric elegy, "To the Pious Memory of Mrs. Anne Killigrew," since the longstanding notion of what the Pleiades signify in Dryden's ode is problematic from an astronomical and astrological perspective. In his elegiac ode, Dryden translates a young female artist to the Pleiades to actuate her apotheosis, not for the sake of mere fulsome hypberbole, but in such a way that Anne (b. 1660-d. 1685) signifies for the reign of Charles II (1660-1685) in her Pleiadic catasterism. The political underpinnings of Killigrew's apotheosis reduce the probability that Dryden's hyperbole reserves pejorative ironic potential.

30	Exclusion in Sophocles Spiegel, Francesca 30 November 2020 (has links) "Exclusion in Sophocles" dass Exklusion als Motiv sich durch alle erhaltenen Sophoklesstücke zieht nebst einiger der längeren Fragmente. Auffällig ist die Vielfalt des Motivs, welches sich auf einen Ausschluss aus der Familie (Elektra), der Stadt (Ödipus-Dramen), der Armee (Philoktet), der Gemeinschaft der Menschen (Tereus) und noch vieles Weitere bezieht. Diese Arbeit sammelt, ordnet und analysiert sophokleische Exklusionsszenarien. Insbesondere wird der Gebrauch von Tropologien des Un/Menschlichen in der extrinsischen Charakterisierung der tragischen Protagonisten herausgestellt sowie damit verbundene Metaphern des Pathologischen, Monströsen, Bestialen und sog. Primitiven als Marker und Auslöser von strukturellen Exklusionen. Dabei wird das Exklusionsmotiv nicht als vollendete Tatsache erfasst, sondern als dynamischer und sich teilweise über ganze Plots hinweg erstreckender Prozess, als Narrativ eines ehemals gut Eingegliederten und von der Gemeinschaft nach und nach Exkludierten. Gleichwohl diese Entwicklung vom tragischen Protagonisten in eloquenten und selbstdarstellerischen Reden vehement kritisiert wird, erwächst im Bereich der Metaphern und rhetorischen Bildsprache der Gemeinschaft eine regelrechte Ausradierung und Neuzuweisung seiner Identität. Durch eine vergleichende Gegenüberstellung beider Standpunkte stellt sich heraus, wie tiefgreifend die als Exkludierend handelnde Gemeinschaft in das Vorantschreiten des tragischen Geschehens involviert ist und die Dramen eben nicht nur—wie in zahlreichen Forschungsstandpunkten festgehalten—die Manci des Exkludierten Protagonisten als moralische Fabel vorführen. / Social exclusion as a literary theme is common to all of Sophocles' fully extant plays as well as some of the longer fragments. The variety of settings is wide, between exclusion from the family like for example in Electra, exclusion from the city as in the case of Oedipus, from a regiment of the armed forces like in Ajax or Philoctetes, or even humankind, like with Tereus. This inquiry sets out to present, taxonomize and unpack Sophoclean discourses of exclusion and their attaining literary tropes of the pathological, the bestial, the brutish, the monstrous, and the so-called uncivilized. The aim is to demonstrate how deeply implicated the whole cast of characters and their language are in the process of a tragedy unfolding, rather than the causes of tragedy being lodged in the doings of one protagonist alone. One key point argued here is that, instead of taking 'the isolation of the tragic hero' as fait accompli, exclusion is a dynamic process that often takes up the entire plot arc of a tragedy. In the space of extrinsic characterization, it is argued that a process of rhetorical erasure and overwriting of identity takes place, where peer groups gradually dismantle a formerly well-established identity and re-assign a new and undesirable one. It is shown how the protagonists seek to resist, lament or somehow negotiate this process through long and expansive speeches of futile self-reinstatement. In the synthesis of both, it is argued that Sophocles' deployment of the theme puts a critical spotlight on the rhetorics of exclusion and its discourses of the bestial, the brutal, and especially the pathological, which embed and frame the work's overall literary, cultural and dramatic effects.
