11	The religious crisis in the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins. Giles, Roy James 31 January 2003 (has links) Gerard Manley Hopkins produced poetry in the Victorian era which was noted for its originality of syntax and form. The essence underlying a large body of his poetry was his Catholic religion. His early religious poetry utilized nature-based metaphors to express his love of Christ and trace the immanence of God within nature. He borrowed heavily from the aesthetics of Pater and the philosophy of Duns Scotus. The dissertation explores these early influences and assesses their contribution to the formation of a unique religious interpretation of life and the formulation of an aesthetic congruent with this religion. The dissertation dissects early symptoms of religious doubt within his poetry and finally analyses his `Terrible Sonnet' phase in detail to ascertain whether the crisis so often described as occurring during this period was religious or merely reflected a loss of creative ability. / English Studies / MA (English) Hopkins's early poetry The Oxford period and Newman's influence Jesuit training Poetry as a practising priest Terrible Sonnets Physical and psychological crisis Resolution of crisis 821.8 Hopkins, Gerard Manley, 1844-1889.

12	The Design and Validation of a Computational Rigid Body Model for Study of the Radial Head Woodcock, Cassandra 11 December 2013 (has links) Rigid body modeling has historically been used to study various features of the elbow joint including both physical and computational models. Computational modeling provides an inexpensive, easily customizable, and effective method by which to predict and investigate the response of a physiological system to in vivo stresses and applied perturbations. Utilizing computer topography scans of a cadaveric elbow, a virtual representation of the joint was created using the commercially available MIMICS(TM) and SolidWorks(TM) software packages. Accurate 3D articular surfaces, ligamentous constraints, and joint contact parameters dictated motion. The model was validated against two cadaveric studies performed by Chanlalit et al. (2011, 2012) considering monopolar and bipolar circular radial head replacements in their effects on radiocapitellar stability and respective reliance upon lateral soft tissues, as well as a comparison of these with a novel anatomic radial head replacement system in an elbow afflicted with the “terrible triad” injury. Rigid body simulations indicated that the computational model was able to accurately recreate the translation of forces in the joint and demonstrate results similar to those presented in the cadaveric data in both the intact elbow and in unstable injury states. Trends in the resulting data were reflective of the average behavior of the cadaveric specimens while percent changes between states correlated closely with the experimental data. Information on the transposition of forces within the joint and ligament tensions gleaned from the computational model provided further insight into the stability of the elbow with a compromised radial head. computer topography computational model radial head prosthesis musculoskeletal elbow stability validation ligament capsule cadaveric SolidWorks MIMICS CAD COSMOSMotion terrible triad rigid body modeling design radius bipolar monopolar multibody dynamics Engineering
13	The Design and Validation of a Computational Rigid Body Model of the Elbow. Spratley, Edward 15 October 2009 (has links) The use of computational modeling is an effective and inexpensive way to predict the response of complex systems to various perturbations. However, not until the early 1990s had this technology been used to predict the behavior of physiological systems, specifically the human skeletal system. To that end, a computational model of the human elbow joint was developed using computed topography (CT) scans of cadaveric donor tissue, as well as the commercially available software package SolidWorks™. The kinematic function of the joint model was then defined through 3D reconstructions of the osteoarticular surfaces and various soft-tissue constraints. The model was validated against cadaveric experiments performed by Hull et al and Fern et al that measured the significance of coronoid process fractures, lateral ulnar collateral ligament ruptures, and radial head resection in elbow joint resistance to varus displacement of the forearm. Kinematic simulations showed that the computational model was able to mimic the physiological movements of the joint throughout various ranges of motion including flexion/extension and pronation/supination. Quantitatively, the model was able to accurately reproduce the trends, as well as the magnitudes, of varus resistance observed in the cadaveric specimens. Additionally, magnitudes of ligament tension and joint contact force predicted by the model were able to further elucidate the complex soft-tissue and osseous contributions to varus elbow stability. computational model musculoskeletal elbow varus stability ligament validation cadaveric Solidworks CAD ADAMS COSMOSMotion Terrible Triad Coronoid process radial head prosthesis Rigid Body Dynamics Multibody Dynamics Computed Topography Engineering

16	Divadelní hry Hélène Cixous pro Théâtre du Soleil / The Theatre Plays by Hélène Cixous for Théâtre du Soleil Kuslová, Kristýna January 2012 (has links) The thesis deals with four plays written by French dramatist and theorist of feminism Hélène Cixous for the Parisian Théâtre du Soleil under the directorial guidance of Ariane Mnouchkine. The analysis focuses on three different perspectives - firstly on écriture feminine, defined in the 1970s by Cixous herself, secondly on exile studies, a field of literary criticism concerned with the writings of exiled authors and exile as a fundamental category of human existence, and lastly on the concept of orientalism developed in the 1970s by American literary historian of Palestinian origin Edward Said.
17	"WOW. FOR VOLVO" : cognition and affect combining forces to measure the immeasurable Wockatz, Philip January 2009 (has links) How can an experience have such an impact that it can be described with the words “wow effect”? Though not a scientific term, it is often used vividly in the business world as an aspirational goal. The purpose of this thesis was to explore the structure behind positive experiences that lead to a so-called “wow effect” by combining cognitive theories and consumption-based emotion theories to create a method for assessing satisfaction in postpurchase experience. In collaboration with the Volvo Car Corporation, this thesis aimed to identify the relevant antecedents for such a possible experience and create a method for measuring it. The automobiles product category has shown high levels of variation in affect (Oliver, 1993) and as such, it has become increasingly important for automobile companies to be able to identify relevant antecedents of positive affect. wow effect satisfaction cognition affect total experience consumer consumption postpurchase prepurchase delighted/terrible scale expectancy disconfirmation model five-factor model NEO-FFI PANAS Volvo the Volvo Car Corporation consumption-based emotions LOV2 Human Computer Interaction

Е., Mamykina, E. E. January 2023 (has links) Тема данной диссертации – «Падение и возрождение “града и мира” в литературе XV-XVII вв.», сама работа посвящена осмыслению темы падения городов на материале «Повести о разорении Рязани», «Повести о взятии Царьграда» и «Казанской истории». В рамках исследования были выделены общие и особенные мотивы, использующиеся в соответствии с авторским целеполаганием, соотнесена сюжетная составляющая памятников в соответствии с проблемами исторических ситуаций. Для более полного понимания вопроса были изучены некоторые аспекты урбанистики, что позволило увидеть своеобразие средневекового взгляда на город, а также были привлечены тексты Священного писания для более полного понимания всех смыслов, вкладываемых средневековым человеком в понятие города. / The topic of this dissertation is "The fall and rebirth of the "city and the world" in the literature of the XV–XVII centuries", the work itself is devoted to understanding the theme of the fall of cities on the material of "The Tale of the destruction of Ryazan", "The Tale of the capture of Tsargrad" and "Kazan History". Within the framework of the study, general and special motives used in accordance with the author's goal-setting were identified, the plot component of monuments was correlated in accordance with the problems of historical situations. For a more complete understanding of the issue, some aspects of urbanism were studied, which made it possible to see the uniqueness of the medieval view of the city, and the texts of the Holy Bible were also involved for a more complete understanding of all the meanings put by a medieval person into the concept of a city.
