Historically inducer pumps have been designed with low inlet diffusion that allows for a gradual pressure rise through the machine that has the ability to slowly collapse any cavitation bubbles that may be present. A novel cavitation control device has been developed by researchers at ConceptsNREC that has been shown in previous experimental work to greatly improve the suction performance of a traditionally designed machine. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been employed to understand the effectiveness of the cavitation control device (CCD) at controlling the conditions that lead to cavitation inception and to determine the impact that the CCD has on the flow. Also the upper limit of design incidence ratio where the CCD is no longer able to control the factors that lead to cavitation inception was to be determined through the CFD approach. All machine geometries and test data were provided by researchers at ConceptsNREC. Two cases were selected for validation work and 32 additional designs were employed in a parametric study where the flow coefficient and design incidence ratio were varied over a typical range of interest for a turbopump application. The results of this computational work show that the CCD is able to control the factors that lead to early cavitation inception. The research shows that the addition of the CCD has an overall stabilizing affect on the flow by significantly decreasing the incidence at the leading edge of the blade. It has been determined that the maximum design incidence ratio where the CCD is able to effectively control the factors that lead to cavitation inception is dependent on the flow coefficient and in general the maximum design incidence ratio decreases as the flow coefficient is increased.

In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the duel of honor functioned as a formal recourse to attacks on a gentleman's reputation. Concurrently, many notable literary figures such as Samuel Johnson, William Gifford, Thomas Moore, and Lord Byron were involved in literary disputes featuring duels or the threat of physical violence, a pattern indicating a connection between authorship and dueling. This study explicitly examines this connection, particularly as it relates to social acceptance, the gentrification of authorship, and the business of publishing. The act of publishing, putting one's work into the public sphere for consumption as well as critique, created an acute sensitivity to issues of honor because publishing automatically broadcast insults or accusations of dishonorable conduct to the reading public. This study requires a grounded discussion of complex, interconnected concepts, specifically: masculine identity, social hierarchy, and violence; satire; dueling; and authorship. Discussion moves from a foundational concern with violence and the assertion of social status, to the relationship between status and honor, to specific modes of defending honor, and finally to the attempt to establish authorship as an honorable profession. Although each of these quarrels exhibits physical violence or the threat of physical violence, these examples also exhibit verbal violence through satiric assaults or an exchange of verbal attacks and parries. As professional writers struggled to overcome the stereotype of the literary hack and gain social respectability, dueling, with either lead or paper bullets, became a way for authors to defend and maintain the fragile social status they had gained. / Master of Arts

Nos últimos 30 anos, surgiu um esforço de alargamento das terapias cognitivas para atender pacientes com patologias graves e com transtornos de personalidade, pois esses casos acabavam por não responder, de maneira satisfatória, ao tratamento de terapia cognitiva tradicional. Dentro desta perspectiva, as diferentes abordagens são definidas em 1ª geração e 2ª geração de terapias cognitivas. A distinção entre ambas as gerações ocorre na adaptação de três pontos importantes: conceitual, estrutural e de processo. Atualmente, observa-se o crescimento de Terapias Cognitivas com proposta integrativa, às quais, além de apresentarem características pertencentes as três abordagens, somam-se preocupações pertinentes às diferenças culturais e espiritualidade. A Terapia dos Esquemas surgiu em 1990 para tratar pacientes com transtornos de personalidade ou transtornos mais severos e arraigados. Através deste estudo, buscou-se analisar as semelhanças e divergências entre os conceitos e hipóteses usados em ambas as teorias: o conceito de “esquema”, o papel da emoção, perspectiva de tratamento para pacientes com transtorno de personalidade e pacientes caracteriológicos ou com transtornos crônicos, o modelo modal e a relação terapêutica e escalas utilizadas. Analisando o conceito de esquema na Terapia do Esquema, observa-se que a definição é significativamente vaga. Quanto à origem dos esquemas disfuncionais, a Terapia Cognitiva aponta para uma falha no processamento de informação diante das situações vivenciadas na realidade. Já a Teoria do Esquema, os esquemas pessoais refletem com bastante precisão o seu ambiente remoto. Quanto ao aspecto relacionado à relação terapêutica, Young apropria-se da ideia de “experiência emocional corretiva” de Alexander e French para dar formas ao seu constructo denominado reparação parental limitada, cujo objetivo é diminuir conflitos remotos através da relação terapêutica, causados por necessidades emocionais não supridas. Diferentemente, a Terapia Cognitiva de Beck aponta para o papel importante da relação terapêutica, defendendo o papel do terapeuta como conselheiro ou modelo, nos casos de pacientes com Transtorno de Personalidade, não objetivando a resolução de conflitos emocionais remotos. / This study aims to work on the confluences and divergences between the theoretical Aaron Beck’ Cognitive Therapy and Jeffrey Young’ Schema Therapy. Over the past 30 years, there has been a broadening effort from cognitive therapies to assist patients with serious illnesses and personality disorders, because these cases ended up in not respond satisfactorily to the treatment of traditional cognitive therapy. Within this perspective, the different approaches are defined in "1st generation" and "2nd generation" cognitive therapies. The distinction between the two generations of adaptation occurs in three major issues: conceptual, structural and process. Currently, there is growth of integrative Cognitive Therapies, which, besides having the three characteristics of all three approaches, add to the concerns about cultural differences and spirituality. Schema Therapy emerged in 1990 to treat patients with personality disorders or those with more severe or entrenched disorders. Through this study, we sought to examine the similarities and differences between the hypothesis and concepts used in both theories: the concept of "scheme", the role of emotion, the prospective treatment for patients with personality disorder or with chronic disorders, the modal model, the therapeutic relationship and the scales. Analyzing the concept of schema in Schema Therapy, it is observed that the definition is significantly vague. Regarding the origin of dysfunctional schemas, Cognitive Therapy points to a failure in the information processing at the situations experienced in reality. Regarding the Theory of Schema, personal schemes reflect quite accurately your remote environment. About the therapeutic relationship, Young appropriates the idea of "corrective emotional experience" from Alexander and French to shape his construct called “limited parental repair”, whose goal is to reduce remote conflicts through the therapeutic relationship, caused by unmet emotional needs. Differently, the Beck Cognitive Therapy points to the important role of the therapeutic relationship, defending the role of counselor or therapist as model in cases of patients with personality disorder, not aiming at the resolution of remote emotional conflicts.
