George MacLeod’s open-air preaching: performance and counter-performance
No full textStuart Blythe uses the methodology of performance to analyse George MacLeod’s open-air preaching. He points out that MacLeod’s preaching was derived from a theology of the incarnation, and an understanding of the paradoxes and dichotomies of common human life. This preaching, Blythe suggests, was also a counter-performance in the context of outlooks and ideologies inimical to the gospel. The paper raises interesting issues related to preaching as performance, and the further question as to whether or not the life and work of the Church as a whole might now be better understood as a counter-performance.Publisher PD
The Linear CS/WZW Bulk/Boundary System in AQFT
No full textThis paper constructs in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT) the linear Chern–Simons/Wess–Zumino–Witten system on a class of 3-manifolds M whose boundary ∂M is endowed with a Lorentzian metric. It is proven that this AQFT is equivalent to a dimensionally reduced AQFT on a 2-dimensional manifold B, whose restriction to the 1-dimensional boundary ∂B is weakly equivalent to a chiral free boson
John Stuart Mill and the Employment of Married Women: Reconciling Utility and Justice
No full textThis paper explores the link between utilitarianism and feminism through the positions of John Stuart Mill. We try to reconcile Mill's conviction about the necessity of establishing equality between sexes with his position concerning the employment of married women. This reconciliation has already been attempted by other researchers. Our perspective is slightly different in that we seek to establish a globally coherent position by examining Mill's various writings in order to evaluate his feminism in terms of his utilitarian philosophy.John Stuart Mill ; Utilitarisme ; Feminisme ;
Development of a cycle simulation for a coal-fueled, direct-injected, internal combustion engine
No full textTypescript (photocopy).An engine cycle simulation for a coal-fueled internal combustion, reciprocating engine was developed. The primary objective of this work was to develop the simulation for evaluating the viability of coal fuels for engines. The cycle simulation was used to investigate details of the combustion process to identify controlling phenomena and to establish directions for future evaluations. Models for coal particle combustion and devolatilization, liquid droplet vaporization, fuel vapor combustion, cylinder heat transfer, piston work, and mass flow rates were combined with a thermodynamic analysis of the engine to yield instantaneous cylinder conditions and overall indicated engine performance. For selected engine and operating conditions, sensitivity of engine performance on fuel characteristics such as coal reactivity, devolatilization, liquid carriers, atomization, and pilot fuels for ignition were investigated. Several commercially manufactured engines were also simulated with the model. The major conclusions of this work include: (1) devolatilization can have a significant effect on the ignition and combustion processes, (2) liquid carriers can have a significant effect on the ignition and combustion processes, (3) the cylinder gas temperature and pressure at fuel injection are important engine operating parameters for coal fuels, (4) the characteristics of the coal fuel (such as particle size and reactivity) can have a significant impact on the ignition and combustion processes, and (5) the combustion process of coal slurry fuels is largely diffusion (air mixing) controlled

A quantum theory for ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains at low temperatures
No full textTypescript (photocopy).We present a quantum theory for both the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains, valid at low temperatures, in which Mori projection algebra is applied to the calculation of the spin relaxation function. The spin relaxation function is shown to have the functional form of a damped harmonic oscillator, which depends on the spin density, the second moment of the spin current density, and the spin damping function. These quantities are calculated from the spin dynamics of the Heisenberg spin chain, were the spin operators are expanded to leading order in the reciprocal of the spin (i.e., 1/S) and then second-quantized according to the formalism of either Holstein-Primakoff or Dyson-Maleev. In addition, the quantum self-energy corrections for both the ferro- and antiferro-magnons are calculated using finite-temperature Green's functions to first order in the magnon occupation number. By using the spin relaxation function, we also have determined the spin wave resonances, the damping at resonance, and the line-shape of the Van Hove scattering function (generally called the dynamical structure or form factor) for both the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains. Specifically, we have studied the resonance, the damping at resonance, and the line-shape as a function of spin, temperature, exchange energy, and momentum (i.e., S, T, J(,1), and q). The resonances tend to be thermally very stable, and display a marked momentum dependence in the quantum regime (i.e., T/J(,1)S (LESSTHEQ) 1). Also, the damping at resonance demonstrates a linear temperature dependence, and displays a somewhat less marked momentum dependence in the quantum regime. Line-shapes vary greatly between the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Van Hove scattering functions: the ferromagnetic line-shape is symmetric, whereas the antiferromagnetic line-shape is asymmetric. The statics of the Heisenberg spin chain were also studied, employing our earlier calculations, on static spin pair correlations, which could be directly substituted into Mikeska's expression for the quantum static spin pair correlation function. Comparison of the Fourier transforms of this function with simulations for finite S = 1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains gives excellent agreement with Mikeska's theory
