Topic This study examines the hymnic pericopes found at Revelation 4.8-11; 5.9-14; 7.10- 12; 11.15-18; 12.10-12; 15.3,4 and 19.1-8 in light of the cosmic conflict theme. It considers that this theme is a major contributor to the development of Revelation’s plot, and thus the hymnic sections are informed by, and inform the understanding of the controversy. Purpose Recognizing that the majority of critical studies give interpretative primacy to the social and political realities that existed in the Roman Empire at the time of Revelation’s composition, there is need for an examination of the storyline from the perspective of issues that are clearly of narratival importance. This study argues that the cosmic conflict is at the center of the book’s concerns, and attempts to determine the function of the hymns in relation to the ongoing controversy. Previous examinations of the hymnic sections have either considered them to be a response and/or parody to Roman liturgy, examples of God’s unquestioned sovereignty, or expressions of thematic overtones found throughout the book. While all these approaches make a contribution to a greater understanding of the hymns, the relation of the hymns to the ever-present conflict theme has not been explored. This study allows the hymnic sections to engage with the larger narrative issue as to who is truly the rightful sovereign of the universe. Conclusion This study found that a close examination of the text confirms that the cosmic conflict is the major motif in the narrative, and that it does not simply serve as a metaphor for political realities. It also concluded that the temple/throne room imagery found throughout the storyline, should have a controlling influence upon interpretation. This setting provides the backdrop for understanding the origins and issues of the controversy. Another conclusion of the study is that the only way for the controversy to be resolved is for God to reveal Himself in such a manner that the truth about Him is manifest. Finally, it was seen that the hymns do provide commentary on the conflict, by acclaiming God’s goodness and right to rule, despite the undertones of Satan’s accusations. / New Testament / D. Th.

I will write about product placement in film from a Swedish point of view. This entails writing about Swedish films with different types of product placements, not only how they are done but also discuss how they succeed from a sales perspective. In my earlier work I have written about the product placement of watches. In this thesis I focus on the film series about the Swedish agent Carl Hamilton, since here you can see how Swedish film has developed during the past 30 years with regard to product placements. Both world politics and the concrete placements are illustrated in a clear way. In such an international context it is also of value to compare recent Hollywood remakes of a Swedish film, in this case Män som hatar kvinnor that was turned into The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Both are based on the same book by the Swedish author Stieg Larsson, Män som hatar kvinnor.

The aim of this thesis is to compare the different Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon film reviews from Chinese and American reviewers respectively, and to see how they evaluate and understand the film in the different ways. We use reception theory as our theoretical tool, and divide the film into four themes so that we can compare the different reviews in a more relative way. Meanwhile, we also present some brief ideas to explain the reason why the film gets the different response from both sides. Since our main purpose is to compare the different film reviews, so we choose the comparative design as our research design. The main findings of this thesis show that Chinese and American reviewers do have some distinct evaluations, understandings and views about the film.Besides, culture and aesthetic become the two major factors to influence the response from both sides.

This work is divided in to two distinct parts. In the first part a model is developed to assess the redistribution of wave energy about an offshore array of overtopping type wave energy converters. The model is based on a classical analytical solution for diffraction about a breakwater which is modified to consider an array of dissipating, reflecting and transmitting breakwater segments, which are used to approximate an overtopping type WEC array. The model is computationally efficient and phase resolving which allows the effect of wave scattering to be investigated for large domains with high resolution irregular wave distributions. It was found that the radial waves generated by the diffraction effect spreads and defocus wave energy away from the geometrical shadow of the array. This counteracts the rate of recovery of wave energy deficit from wave directional spreading. In the second part, short-term wave forecasting for pneumatic power regulation through relief valve control is investigated at the Pico oscillating water column power plant, located in the Azores. Operational data from the Pico OWC is used to develop and critically assess a number of univariate and multivariate short-term wave forecast modelling approaches. A number of relief valve control strategies, which utilise a short-term wave forecast, are also developed and assessed using a numerical time-domain wave to wire system model. A system model for the Pico OWC is developed and validated using operational data from the Pico plant. The absolute performance potential resulting from control utilising a perfect forecast is considered, in addition to the realistic potential where a forecast, realisable in real-time, is used to drive control actions. One of the proposed relief valve control strategies is within the mechanical limitations of the existing relief valve adjustment system at Pico and this strategy was deployed in real field tests. Field test results of the plant’s performance under this strategy closely matched the simulated performance and power enhancements of up to 29% were achieved in certain sea states and the expected annual power enhancement was projected to be around 10%. Simulations of the long term plant performance under the more advanced relief valve control strategies project far greater potential for enhanced power production although these could not be tested in the field due to the project limitations.

Research and application of microbial control of brown spot disease on the dragon fruit caused by fungi Neoscytalidium dimetiatum have important implications towards the safe and sustainable dragon fruit production. In this article, the research team has identified two strains of microorganisms capable of inhibiting fungi Neoscytalidium dimitiatum denoted A3, B7.

This study considers the visual representation of the alchemical idea of the philosopher’s stone (lapis philosophorum) in the Harry Potter films: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (Columbus 2001), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Columbus 2002), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Cuaron 2004), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Newell 2005), andHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Yates 2007). The lapis philosophorum was believed to turn base metals into gold and produce an Elixir of Life. As such, it is envisioned as the ultimate alchemical idea, and this study emphasises how the lapis can function as a signifier for an alchemical worldview within the Harry Potter films. Because the concept and symbolism of the Harry Potter films is largely based on JK Rowling’s (1997; 1998; 1999; 2000; 2003; 2005; 2007) original novels, this study provides a detailed comparison of how alchemical imagery is used in the novels and contrasts this with the visual imagery of the films. This study undertakes a hermeneutic analysis of the transmission of alchemical ideals from the literary to the visual medium. It also provides a detailed analysis of interrelated visual icons in the Harry Potter films that represent the idea of the lapis as an embodiment of alchemical perfection. In addition, by studying the interplay between alchemical imagery in the Harry Potter novels and films, and comparing the worldviews represented by each, this study is able to analyse the dynamics of the hermeneutic process. This study concludes with a consideration of how alchemical theory relates to the discipline of hermeneutics, how it influences the process of interpretation, and ultimately the relationship between the alchemical worldview and current perspectives on authorship. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Visual Arts / unrestricted

Die Dissertation hat zu ihrem Gegenstand den Kult der Drachenkönige, longwang, im China der späten Kaiserzeit, namentlich der Dynastien der Ming und vor allem der Qing, genommen. Bei den Drachenkönigen handelt es sich um funktionale Gottheiten, welche nahezu im gesamten chinesischen Kaiserreich verehrt wurden und deren wesentliche Aufgabe in der Gewährung und Kontrolle von Niederschlägen verstanden wurde. Darüber hinaus konnten und haben sie in regionalen Variationen noch über weitere Funktion verfügt, welche jedoch alle mit dem Element Wasser in Verbindung standen. Das Ziel dieser Studie war es, für den genannten Zeitraum darzulegen, welche prägenden Einflussfaktoren auf die Vorstellung von den Drachenkönigen und den mit diesen verbundenem Kult einwirkten. Es wurden die Faktoren herausgearbeitet, welche maßgeblich dazu beitrugen, den Kult der Drachenkönige zu verbreiten und welche für die konkrete Ausgestaltung der Inhalte, Glaubensvorstellungen und Praktiken dieses Kults besonders auf lokaler Ebene als ursächlich angenommen werden können. Da man die Drachenkönige aufgrund ihrer Hauptfunktion, nämlich der Kontrolle der Niederschläge, treffend als Naturgottheit charakterisieren kann, war die Arbeit, inspiriert von den Überlegungen der sogenannten cultural ecology, von der These ausgegangen, dass der Kult der Drachenkönige in seinen regionalen und lokalen Ausprägungen hauptsächlich durch die jeweils vorherrschenden geographischen und hier besonders die klimatischen (und meteorologischen) sowie topographischen Umweltbedingungen geprägt wurde. Zur umfassenden Beantwortung der oben genannten Fragestellung beruht die Arbeit auf einer Kombination mehrerer Quellen und der zur jeweiligen Auswertung geeigneten Methoden. Dabei zieht sich durch die gesamte Arbeit ein Vergleich zweier Regionen des spätkaiserzeitlichen Chinas. Es handelt sich dabei um die Regionen von Jinzhong im Zentrum der nordchinesischen Binnenprovinz Shanxi und von Jiangnan südlich des Unterlaufs des Flusses Changjiang, das zum Teil die im südlicheren China gelegene Küstenprovinz Jiangsu umfasste. Beide Regionen unterscheiden sich in Bezug auf ihre topograpischen und klimatischen Gegebenheiten deutlich voneinander. Die Quellengrundlage, auf welche sich dieser Vergleich im Wesentlichen stützt, sind zum einen Lokalbeschreibungen, fangzhi oder difangzhi, sowie Quellen der spätkaiserzeitlichen xiaoshuo-Literatur (vor allem zhiguai und biji) und moderner Volkserzählungen, minjian gushi. Die methodische Vorgehensweise spiegelt sich auch im Aufbau der Arbeit gemäß ihren Hauptkapiteln wider. Darüber hinaus gibt sie einen Überblick über die historische Entwicklung des Kults der Drachenkönige sowie die bestimmenden geographischen Grundlagen des spätkaiserzeitlichen Chinas. Ein ausführlicher Anhang ist der Arbeit beigefügt. Die grundlegenden Ergebnisse lassen sich überblicksartig folgendermaßen zusammenfassen: - Die Drachenkönige sind keine originären chinesischen Gottheiten. Vielmehr entstand die Vorstellung über sie und damit ihr Kult aus einer Vermischung des indisch-buddhistischen Glaubens an nāgarāja genannte Schlangengottheiten sowie der chinesischen Vorstellung von Drachen, long, ohne dabei letztere zu verdrängen oder zu ersetzen. - Darüber hinaus konnte festgestellt werden, dass die Drachenkönige als funktionale Gottheiten zu verstehen sind. Das soll heißen, dass ihr Kult und dessen Inhalte ebenso wie ihre Bedeutung für die Gesellschaft der späten Kaiserzeit und die Ursachen dafür, dass sie als Gottheiten und daher als heilige Wesen betrachtet und verehrt wurden, darin begründet waren, dass sie eine wichtige Funktion erfüllten, welche eng mit den Lebensbedürfnissen der Menschen dieser Zeit verbunden war. - Der hauptsächliche Inhalt des Kults der Drachenkönig, wie er vor allem in der Region Jinzhong hervortrat, lag in ihrer Funktion als Bringer und Kontolleure der Niederschläge begründet. Jedoch erfuhren sie darüber hinaus eine funktionale Erweiterung und Ausdifferenzierung, welche sich vor allem in der Region Jiangnan zeigte und auf die Anpassung des Kultes an die vorherrschenden lokalen Gegebenheiten in Hinblick auf Topographie und Klima zurückzuführen war. - Gleichwohl in der Arbeit geographische Einflussfaktoren für die Untersuchung des Kults der Drachenkönige von besonderem Interesse waren, zeigte sich doch deutlich, dass diese allein nicht genügten, um die Inhalte dieses Kults und die damit verbundenen Glaubensvorstellungen und Praktiken zu erklären. Dies betraf sowohl die Betrachtung einer allgemeinen, gesamtchinesischen Ebene als auch die hier angestrebte lokale Perspektive. Statt daher den Blick durch unzulässige monokausale Erklärungsansätze zu verengen, muss die Vielzahl der natürlichen wie auch anthropogenen Einflussfaktoren auf die Ausprägung des Kults der Drachenkönige betont werden. Natürliche beziehungsweise geographische Faktoren, wozu in diesem Falle vor allem Topographie und Klima zu zählen sind, waren jedoch in Hinblick auf den Kult der Drachenkönige von besonders prägender Bedeutung. - Schließlich konnte noch festgestellt werden, dass den Drachenkönigen ein sehr ambivalenter Charakter innewohnte, da diese sowohl als segensreich als auch als schädlich erachtet werden konnten. Auch hierin spiegelt sich die natürliche Umwelt der Menschen des spätkaiserzeitlichen Chinas wider, welche einerseits reiche Ernten liefern konnte, andererseits auch von schweren Dürren und Überschwemmungen geprägt war. Die Drachenkönige brachten gemäß der verbreiteten Vorstellungen den notwendigen und rechtzeitigen Regen für eine erfolgreiche Landwirtschaft, doch waren sie gemäß den herrschenden Vorstellungen gleichzeitig für Dürren und Überschwemmungen sowie die daraus resultierenden Ernteausfälle und Hungersnöte verantwortlich.:1.

Topic This study examines the hymnic pericopes found at Revelation 4.8-11; 5.9-14; 7.10- 12; 11.15-18; 12.10-12; 15.3,4 and 19.1-8 in light of the cosmic conflict theme.

Geologic sequestration of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) greenhouse gas emissions is an engineering solution that potentially reduces CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere thereby limiting their effect on climate change. This study focuses on Woodside field as a potential storage and sequestration site for CO2 emissions. The Woodside field is positioned on a doubly plunging, asymmetrical anticline on the northeast flank of the San Rafael Swell. Particular focus will be placed on the Permian White Rim Sandstone, Black Box Dolomite and Black Dragon Member of the Triassic Moenkopi Formation as the reservoir/seal system to store and sequester CO2 at Woodside field. The White Rim Sandstone, the primary target reservoir, is divided into three stratigraphic intervals based on facies analysis: a lower sand sheet facies (about 60 ft or 18 m), a thick middle eolian sandstone facies (about 390 ft or 119 m), and an upper marine reworked facies (about 70 ft or 21 m). Porosity and permeability analyses from the outcrop indicate good reservoir quality in the eolian sandstone and reworked facies. Porosity in the White Rim Sandstone ranges from 7.6 to 24.1% and permeability reaches up to 2.1 D. The maximum combined thickness of the three facies is 525 ft (160 m) at Woodside field providing a significant volume of porous and permeable rock in which to store CO2. The Black Box Dolomite is the secondary potential reservoir for CO2 storage at Woodside field and has a gross thickness up to 76 ft (23 m). The Black Box Dolomite is divided into four lithofacies: a basal nodular dolomudstone (8.2 -15 ft or 3.5-4.5 m), a dolowackestone (25-37 ft or 7.5-11 m), a dolomitic sandstone (0-8.2 ft or 0-2.5 m), and an upper sandy dolowackestone (0-16 ft or 0-4.9 m). Porosity and permeability analyses indicate reservoir potential in the dolowackestone, dolomitic sandstone, and sandy dolowackestone lithofacies. Porosity in the Black Box Dolomite ranges from 6.6 to 29.2% and permeability reaches up to 358 mD. The nodular dolomudstone lithofacies has relatively poor reservoir quality with porosity up to 9.4% and permeability up to 0.182 mD. This lithofacies could act as a baffle or barrier to fluid communication between the White Rim Sandstone and Black Box Dolomite. The Black Dragon Member of the Triassic Moenkopi Formation will serve as the seal rock for the relatively buoyant CO2 stored in the underlying formations. The Black Dragon Member is comprised of four lithofacies: a chert pebble conglomerate; an interbedded sandstone, siltstone, and shale; a trough cross-stratified sandstone, and an oolitic and algal limestone. The Black Dragon Member has a maximum thickness of 280 ft (85 m) at Woodside field. Mudstone beds contain from 0.16 to 0.47% porosity. QEMSCAN analysis indicates several minerals within shale beds that may react with a CO2-rich brine including calcite (18.73 to 23.43%), dolomite (7.56 to 7.89%), alkali feldspar (4.12 to 4.43 %), glauconite (0.04 to 0.05%), and plagioclase (0.03 to 0.04%). Silty mudstones comprise 75% of this member at Black Dragon Canyon. Volumetric estimates for Woodside field were calculated based on the 10th, 50th, and 90th percent probabilities (P10, P50, and P90). The White Rim Sandstone is the primary target reservoir and has capacity to hold 2.2, 8.8, or 23.7 million metric tonnes (P10, P50, and P90 respectively) of CO2 within the structural closure of Woodside field. The Black Box Dolomite may hold 0.5, 1.8, or 4.5 million metric tonnes, respectively of additional CO2 within the structural closure of Woodside field. These two formations combined have the capacity to store up to 28.3 million metric tonnes (P90) of CO2.
