Deformačně a napěťová analýza čelisti se zubním implantátem VNI / Stress - strain analysis of jaw with tooth implant type VNI

Školník, Roman January 2008 (has links)
This diploma thesis is dealt with stress-strain analysis of jowl with teeth implants. Teeth implants when locked in place (jowl) have the ability to replace and be used in the same way as the missing teeth. The implant creates a pillar column in the buccal cavity and then the tooth cap or bridge is secured on the pillar column. In this diploma thesis it is described as a solution of stress and strain of two types of cylindrical teeth implants VNI. Thesis specializes on the influence of deviation implant from the vertical axis. The solution is accomplished in program ANSYS Workbench by Finite Element Method (FEM). The geometric models are made in program SolidWorks 2005.

The dangerous edge of things : John Webster's Bosola in context & performance

Buckingham, John F. January 2011 (has links)
This thesis argues that there is an enigma at the heart of Webster's The Duchess of Malfi; a disjunction between the critical history of the play and its reception in performance. Historical disquiet about the status of the play among academics and cultural commentators has not prevented its popularity with audiences. It has, however, affected some of the staging decisions made by theatre companies mounting productions. Allied to other practical factors, these have impacted significantly – and occasionally disastrously – upon performances. It is argued that Webster conceived the play as a meditation on degree and, in aiming to draw out the maximum relevance from the social satire, deliberately created the multi-faceted performative role of Bosola to work his audience in a complex and subversive manner. The role's purpose was determined in response to the structural discontinuity imposed upon the play by the physical realities of staging within the Blackfriars' auditorium. But Webster also needed an agent to serve the plot's development and, in creating the role he also invented a character, developed way beyond the material of his sources. This character proved as trapped as any other in the play by the consequences of his own moral choices. Hovering between role and character, Webster's creation remains liminally poised on ‘the dangerous edge of things.' Part One explores the contexts in which Webster created one of the most ambiguous figures in early modern drama - subverting stock malcontent, villain and revenger - and speculates on the importance of the actor, John Lowin in its genesis. It includes a subsequent performance history of the role. Part Two presents the detailed analysis of a range of professional performances from the past four decades, attempting to demonstrate how the meaning of the play has been altered by decisions made regarding the part of Bosola.
