This thesis aims at investigating the two main elements of "intellect" and "tradition" in Zhu Xi's methodology of self-cultivation. About "intellect", chapter 1 and 3 argue that the core idea of Zhu's methodology is "to discriminate between right and wrong according to reasons". Therefore, the most important in "probing principle" is not "getting information", but "reflecting and examining the reasons of all things we face". Chapter 2 argues that "to discriminate between right and wrong" should be the starting point of Confucian self-cultivation. The only question is how it can motivate the actual moral practice, to complete the actual transformation of one's personality. To answer this question, chapter 3 clarifies the meaning of "being totally convinced by a reason": a moral belief which is confirmed as reasonable by the intellect, will necessarily originate an intention to act accordingly, the moral motivation is inside this intention. However, we should not ignore the importance of "tradition" in self-cultivation. Chapter 4 explains that for Zhu Xi, "to discriminate between right and wrong" needs reliable standards; they cannot come from any personal assertion, but only from the studying of tradition. Personal intellect does not operate in a closed space, but the space in which it can enter into dialogue with the traditional wisdom. The interaction between intellect and tradition is the ideal learning way in Zhu Xi's mind. / 吳啓超. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 70-09, Section: A, page: . / Thesis (doctoral)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2009. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 216-220). / Electronic reproduction.

A formulation with DGEBA epoxy resin was used with three different curing agent types: anhydride base, aliphatic amine base and polyamidoamine base. The curing reaction kinetic analysis of each epoxy system was performed by Osawa dynamic method by DSC according ASTM E968. The thermal properties of the epoxy systems were checked by TGA and DSC while the mechanical properties were measured by Shore D hardness and IZOD impact strength, also the a characterization by SEM was performed. The epoxy systems performance in capacitor was verified by qualification tests for film capacitors for automotive application based in AEC-Q200 D, as: exposure to the maximum capacitor operating temperture, exposure to thermal cycles and exposure to humidity. The capacitors were characterized by the capacitance variation while the effects in the epoxy systems were checked by their thermal and mechanical properties change. The systems based on aliphatic amine and polyamidoamine had lower activation energy and higher reaction velocity than the anhydride system. The performance of the capacitor against humidity was similar between the evaluated systems showing low loss of capacitance after the test, whereas against thermal cycles, even the aliphatic amine and polyamidoamine base systems were not affected by reduction of mechanical properties, they had their performance affected by cracks arising. Regarding the performance under exposure to the maximum operating temperature, the anhydride system presented the lowest capacitance loss in the capacitor, followed by the samples with polyamidoamine and aliphatic amine, respectively, which showed a significant reduction of the mechanical properties after prolonged exposure to the temperature of the test. / Neste estudo avaliou-se a influ?ncia de diferentes agentes de cura comerciais de resina ep?xi no encapsulamento de capacitores de filme. Foi utilizado uma formula??o de resina ep?xi DGEBA (diglicidil ?ter de bisfenol-A) com tr?s tipos diferentes de agente de cura: base anidrido, base amina alif?tica e base poliamidoamina. A an?lise da cin?tica da rea??o de cura de cada sistema ep?xi foi realizada pelo m?todo din?mico de Osawa, por DSC conforme ASTM E968. As propriedades t?rmicas dos sistemas ep?xi foram determinadas por TGA e DSC enquanto que as propriedades mec?nicas foram medidas atrav?s de dureza Shore D e resist?ncia ao impacto IZOD, al?m disto foi realizado caracteriza??o por MEV. O desempenho dos sistemas ep?xi no capacitor foi verificado pelos ensaios de qualifica??o de capacitores de filme para aplica??o automotiva baseados na norma AEC-Q200 D, sendo estes: exposi??o a temperatura m?xima do capacitor, exposi??o a ciclos t?rmicos e exposi??o a umidade. Os capacitores foram caracterizados pela varia??o de capacit?ncia enquanto que os efeitos nos sistemas ep?xi foram acompanhados pela altera??o em suas propriedades t?rmicas e mec?nicas. Os sistemas a base de amina alif?tica e poliamidoamina apresentaram menor energia de ativa??o e maior velocidade de rea??o que o sistema anidrido. O desempenho do capacitor frente a umidade foi similar entre os sistemas avaliados com baixa perda de capacit?ncia ap?s o ensaio, enquanto que frente aos ciclos t?rmicos, mesmo n?o apresentando redu??o de propriedades mec?nicas os sistemas base amina alif?tica e poliamidoamina tiveram seu desempenho afetado pelo aparecimento de trincas. Em rela??o ao desempenho sob exposi??o ? temperatura m?xima o sistema anidrido foi o que apresentou menor perda de capacit?ncia no capacitor, seguido das amostras com poliamidoamina e amina alif?tica, respectivamente, sendo que estas apresentaram redu??o significativa das propriedades mec?nicas ap?s exposi??o prolongada a temperatura do ensaio.

La thèse consiste de deux parties. Dans la première partie, on montre la pureté des fibres de Springer affines pour $\gl_{4}$ dans le cas non-ramifié. Plus précisément, on construit une famille de pavages non standard en espaces affines de la grassmannienne affine, qui induisent des pavages en espaces affines de la fibre de Springer affine. Dans la deuxième partie, on introduit une notion de $\xi$-stabilité sur la grassmannienne affine $\xx$ pour le groupe $\gl_{d}$, et on calcule le polynôme de Poincaré du quotient $\xx^{\xi}/T$ de la partie $\xi$-stable $\xxs$ par le tore maximal $T$ par une processus analogue de la réduction de Harder-Narasimhan.

The times of Jeremiah were characterized by the spirit of imperial expansionism. Assyria had just collapsed and Babylon was quickly filling the vacuum. On the other hand Jeremiah was proclaiming doom on the nation because breaking the covenant. Which covenant? The covenant made during the reforms of Josiah. Was it the Davidic covenant or the Sinai Covenant? This research answers these questions and concludes that it was the Sinai covenant that was broken in Jeremiah 11 and led to the deportation into exile. * Chapter 1 outlines the challenge. The problem statement, the hypothesis and the purpose are outlined. * Chapter 2 delves into the challenges and problems pertaining to the study of Jeremiah. These are the historicity of Jeremiah, the ideological Jeremiah and the authorship of the book of Jeremiah. The deuteronomistic influence and the theme of Jeremiah are also examined. * Chapter 3 is a study of the origin and history of the covenant. Here the pentateuchal roots of the covenant are traced form the election of Abraham to the Sinai covenant. * Chapter 5 is a survey of the political and religious context of Jeremiah to determine whether Jeremiah experienced the times prior to the deportation. In this chapter attention is paid to the deuteronomic reform, the covenant with David and the Davidic ideology. The challenge in this chapter is the date of when Jeremiah commenced his ministry. This is due to the fact that Jeremiah is not consulted when the book is discovered in the temple. The prophetess Huldah is consulted by Josiah the king. * Chapter 6 is a focus on Jeremiah 11. The process of identifying which covenant was broken in Jeremiah 11 begins with the examination of the literary genre of the chapter. The Deuteronomistic influence is also taken into account. The three key Sinai phrases which point to the Sinai covenant are outlined in detail leading to the conclusion that Jeremiah pointed Israel to the fact that the impending disaster was a result of their violation of the Sinai covenant. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / M.

As fibras vegetais como refor?o para matrizes polim?ricas, tem sido uma alternativa para substituir fibras sint?ticas, por serem biodegrad?veis e de baixo custo. Este trabalho objetiva desenvolver um material comp?sito de resina ep?xi refor?ado com fibra de curau? e aditivo retardante de chama de alumina trihidratada (hidr?xido de alum?nio - Al(OH)3), que foi utilizado em propor??es de 10%, 20% e 30% do volume total do comp?sito. As fibras de curau? passaram por um processo de limpeza com um banho alcalino de hidr?xido de s?dio (NaOH), paralelizadas atrav?s de cardagem manual e cortadas de acordo com o comprimento predefinido. Foram moldados comp?sitos com fibras de 30cm e com fra??o volum?trica de 20% de fibra no Lossy Mould. Os comp?sitos foram preparados no Laborat?rio de Engenharia T?xtil da UFRN. Os testes de resist?ncia ao fogo foram realizados no laborat?rio de engenharia de materiais da UFRN. Para medir o desempenho do material, foram realizados ensaios de resist?ncia ? tra??o e flex?o, com as amostras que foram posteriormente analisadas no aparelho de Microscopia Eletr?nico de Varredura (MEV). Os comp?sitos apresentaram bom desempenho mec?nico, e foi observado que a adi??o do agente retardante de chama influenciou nas propriedades mec?nicas, e em alguns casos, deixando o comp?sito mais fr?geis a ruptura. Esses resultados mec?nicos foram submetidos ao teste estat?stico Qui-Quadrado ao n?vel de signific?ncia de 5% para verificar poss?veis diferen?as entre ao grupos de comp?sitos. O teste de flamabilidade foi realizado baseado na norma Underwriter's Laboratory 94 e o material apresentou um resultado satisfat?rio, tendo a sua taxa m?dia de queima (mm/min) diminuindo com o aumento da adi??o do retardante de chamas nos comp?sitos. / Currently, there is a great search for materials derived from renewable sources. The vegetable fibers as reinforcement for polymer matrixes, has been used as an alternative to replace synthetic fibres, being biodegradable and of low cost. The present work aims to develop a composite material with epoxy resin reinforced with curau? fibre with the addition of alumina trihydrate (aluminum hydroxide, Al(OH)3) as a flame retardant, which was used in proportions of 10 %, 20% and 30% of the total volume of the composite. The curau? fibers have gone through a cleaning process with an alkaline bath of sodium hydroxide (NaOH ), parallelized by hand and cut carding according to the default length . They were molded composites with fibers 30cm. Composites were molded in a Lossy Mold with unidirectional fibres in the proportion of 20% of the total volume of the composite. The composites were prepared in the Chemical Processing Laboratory of the Textile Engineering Department at UFRN. To measure the performance of the material, tests for the resistance to traction and flexion were carried out. with samples that were later analyzed in the Electronic Microscopy Apparatus (SEM ). The composites showed good mechanical properties by the addition of flame retardant and in some cases, leaving the composite more vulnerable to breakage. These mechanical results were analyzed by chi-square statistical test at the 5% significance level to check for possible differences between the composite groups. Flammability testing was conducted based on the standard Underwriters Laboratory 94 and the material showed a satisfactory result taking their average burn rate (mm / min) decreasing with increasing addition of the flame retardant composite.
