This project examines contemporary performances that disrupt normative understandings of time/history. I argue that the complimentary regimes of heterosexuality and capitalism produce the temporal logics that create the psychic and material conditions under which U.S. queer subjects experience everyday, national, and transnational trauma. These logics include the construction of time/history as linear, teleological, and progress-oriented, and the idealized citizen as similarly straight, productive, and amnesic. I then analyze the ways in which queer performance can resist and transform chrono-normativity by creating "time slips": worlds in which past and present are given permission to touch; history/memory to repeat; and the future to reside in the now. Case studies include Ann Carlson and Mary Ellen Strom's Geyser Land (2003); floodlines (2004-2010), which I conceived and directed; and Peggy Shaw and The Clod Ensemble's Must: The Inside Story (2011). I situate my analysis against the backdrop of a post-9/11 security state that makes these performative disruptions particularly vital at this historical moment. / text

We study the regularity of weak solutions for the Stefan and Hele- Shaw problems with Gibbs-Thomson law under special conditions. The main result says that whenever the free boundary is Lipschitz in space and time it becomes (instantaneously) C[superscript 2,alpha] in space and its mean curvature is Hölder continuous. Additionally, a similar model related to the Signorini problem is introduced, in this case it is shown that for large times weak solutions converge to a stationary configuration. / text

The dynamics of A + B → C reaction fronts is studied under modulated gravitational acceleration by means of a combination of parabolic flight experiments and numerical simulations. During modulated gravity the front position undergoes periodic modulation with an accelerated front propagation under hyper-gravity together with a slowing down under low gravity. The underlying reason for this is an amplification and a decay, respectively, of the buoyancy-driven double vortex associated with the front propagation under standard gravitational acceleration, as explained by reaction–diffusion–convection simulations of convection around an A + B → C front. Deeper insights into the correlation between grey-value changes in the experimental shadowgraph images and characteristic changes in the concentration profiles are obtained by a numerical simulation of the imaging process. / Dieser Beitrag ist mit Zustimmung des Rechteinhabers aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a estabilidade oxidativa e t?rmica do ?leo de r?-touro (Rana catesbeiana Shaw), assim como desenvolver uma emuls?o baseado em um planejamento experimental com aplica??o para via oral. O tecido adiposo da Rana catesbeiana Shaw foi utilizado como fonte para a produ??o de um ?leo natural a partir do m?todo de extra??o a quente, obtendo rendimento de 60 ? 0,9%. O ?leo de r?-touro foi fisicoquimicamente caracterizado e os ?ndices de per?xido, acidez, iodo e saponifica??o foram respectivamente 1,9 meq O2 / kg; 2,9 KOH / g de ?leo; 104,2 g de I / 100 g de ?leo e 171,2 mg de KOH / g de ?leo. A cromatografia gasosa acoplada a espectrometria de massas foi usada para a determina??o dos compostos presentes no ?leo de r?-touro, apresentando como principais constituintes o ?cido ol?ico (30 %) e o ?cido eicosapentaen?ico (17,6%), que s?o ?cidos graxos insaturados e poliinsaturados, respectivamente. A estabilidade oxidativa foi determinada na presen?a e aus?ncia dos antioxidantes butilhidroxianisol (BHA) e butilhidroxitolueno (BHT), a 60 ? 2 ?C durante 15 dias e a temperatura ambiente durante 120 dias. Foram avaliados os ?ndices de acidez, per?xido, iodo e saponifica??o; dienos e trienos conjugados, tempo de indu??o a oxida??o (Rancimat?) e mudan?as nos espectros de infravermelho. A taxa de oxida??o do ?leo de r?-touro foi dependente da temperatura e o ?leo apresentou-se mais estavel na presen?a de BHT. Durante a oxida??o do ?leo, mudan?as significativas no espectro de absor??o do ultravioleta vis?vel e infravermelho foram observadas. O ?leo apresentou-se est?vel at? 200?C atrav?s da determina??o da estabilidade t?rmica utilizando a calorimetria explorat?ria diferencial e an?lise termogravim?trica. Um produto farmac?utico emulsionado para uso oral a base do ?leo de r?-touro utilizando o planejamento fatorial completo 23 foi desenvolvido, caracterizado e sua estabilidade contendo diferentes adjuvantes farmac?uticos foi avaliada. A emuls?o oral apresentou tamanho de got?cula de 410 ? 8,3 nm, potencial zeta - 38,2 mV, condutividade 1913.8 ?S/cma e pH 6.4. O uso de adjuvantes foi respons?vel por melhorar a estabilidade termooxidativa do ?leo disperso na emuls?o por um per?odo superior a tr?s meses. Portanto, a formula??o desenvolvida exibiu caracter?sticas tecnol?gicas promissoras para estabilidade termooxidativa da emuls?o contendo o ?leo de r?-touro para uso oral. / Alternative sources of natural oils are constantly being investigated to meet the demand for natural raw materials used for the development of new products. The aim of this work was to study the oxidative and thermal stability of the bullfrog oil (Rana catesbeiana Shaw), as well as to develop an emulsion based on an experimental design with application to the oral route. The adipose tissue of Rana catesbeiana Shaw was used as a source for producing natural oil by a hot extraction method, with yield of 60 ? 0.9%. The bullfrog oil was characterized and peroxide, acidity, iodine and saponification values were respectively 1.92 meq O2 / kg; 2.95 KOH / g oil; 104.2 g of I / 100 g oil and 171.2 mg KOH / g of oil. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC / MS) was used to determine the compounds present in the bullfrog oil. The main constituents are oleic acid (30%) and eicosapentaenoic acid (17.6%), which are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids respectively. Oxidative stability was determined in the presence or absence of the antioxidants BHA (butylhydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylhydroxytoluene) at 60 ? 2 ? C for 15 days and at room temperature for 120 days. Values of acidity, peroxide, iodine and saponification; conjugated dienes and trienes, oxidation induction time (Rancimat?) and changes in the infrared spectra were measured. The bullfrog oil oxidation rate was dependent on temperature, and the oil became more stable in the presence of BHT. During the oil oxidation, significant changes in the ultraviolet visible absorption spectrum and infrared were observed. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the oil was stable up to 200 ?C.

A CHS é um aparato experimental que consiste em duas placas, usualmente planas e paralelas, separadas por uma distância muito pequena. Sabe-se que quando um fluido viscoso desloca outro mais viscoso, em uma CHS, a interface entre eles se torna instável e estruturas chamadas de “dedos viscosos” surgem. Em função da geometria da CHS e da força motriz do fluxo, tais dedos podem bifurcar, afinar, competir em tamanho e interferirem uns com os outros, formando as mais diversas estruturas morfológicas. Estudos com fluidos newtonianos em CHS vêm sendo feitos desde o final do século XIX. No entanto, apenas recentemente, a cerca de trinta anos, estudos com fluidos não newtonianos em CHS vêm sendo conduzidos, e em sua maioria estudos analíticos lineares ou não lineares puramente numéricos. Este trabalho tenta preencher essa lacuna com um estudo analítico não linear de fluidos não newtonianos em CHS. Estudamos a CHS de geometria radial com levantamento da placa superior e injeção como forças motrizes do fluxo. Nestes casos estudamos o fluido yield stress, um tipo especial de fluido não newtoniano que se comporta como um “semissólido”. Estudamos também o fluido power-law que introduz, na viscosidade, uma dependência do fluxo. Em cada caso fomos capazes de estabelecer conexões entre as nossas previsões teóricas e os experimentos e simulações encontrados na literatura. Tais previsões são acerca da estabilidade e morfologia da interface como: bifurcação de dedos, a estrutura conhecida como side branching e a competição entre dedos.

This document chronicles the history, development, process, and impact of three of the United States' first and most successful professional choirs. Representing the impact of these three choirs demonstrates a need for current professional or community choirs today. Four conductors of current professional and community choirs were interviewed and discussed elements for establishing, maintaining and succeeding in creating of a professional or community choir in the United States today. This document impresses the importance and considerations for a successful endeavor when establishing a professional or community choir.
