Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Stably stratified shear-produced turbulence and large-scalewaves in a lid driven cavity
No full textWe study experimentally stably stratified sheared turbulence and large-scale flows and waves in a lid driven cavity with a non-zero vertical mean temperature gradient. Geometrical properties of the large-scale vortex (e.g., its size and form) and the level of small-scale turbulence inside the vortex are controlled by the buoyancy (i.e., by the temperature stratification). The observed velocity fluctuations are produced by the shear of the large-scale vortex. At larger stratification obtained in our experiments, the strong turbulence region is located at the upper part of the cavity where the large scale vortex exists. In this region the Brunt-Väisälä frequency is small and increases in the direction outside the large-scale vortex. This is the reason of that the large-scale internal gravity waves are observed in the regions outside the large-scale vortex. We found these waves by analyzing the non instantaneous correlation functions of the temperature and velocity fields. The observed large-scale waves are nonlinear because the frequency of the waves determined from the temperature field measurements is two times smaller than that obtained from the velocity field measurements. The measured intensity of the waves is of the order of the level of the temperature turbulent fluctuations
The synthesis of monodisperse alkanes with long chains
No full textThis thesis discusses reasons for the interest in monodisperse long chain alkanes and describes attempts, past and present, to synthesise such molecules. Chapter 1 discusses why the synthesis of such molecules are important and the objectives of this project. Chapter 2 reviews the methods previous groups have devised to prepare pure samples of long chain alkanes. In particular, work carried out by Whiting et al. at Bristol, whose scheme formed the basis of the early work in Durham. Chapter 3 describes the work in Durham and improvements which were made to Whiting's method, allowing the synthesis of longer chain lengths and greater quantities of materials to be achieved. Chapter 4 provides a summary of the practical work carried out by the author. Chapter 5 gives experimental details of the work described in Chapter 4

Porównanie warstw fizycznych standardów 802.11ac i n
No full text802.11ac, n and ad are three newest IEEE standards. 802.11n implements a lot of new proposals especially in PHY and MAC layers while in 802.11ac
there aren’t any new technologies but only optimization and development of ac new ideas. Both propose significant increased in throughput but only ac reaches the level which could guarantee the multimedia successful communication. Author compares the most important features of PHY layers of both standards.802.11ac, n i ad to trzy najnowsze standardy IEEE. W przypadku 802.11n wprowadzono szereg nowych rozwiązań, szczególnie w warstwach fizycznej i dostępu, podczas gdy 802.1ac właściwie nie zaproponował nic nowego, a jedynie zoptymalizował i rozwinął pomysły swojego poprzednika. Oba standardy znacząco zwiększyły dostępne przepustowości, ale tylko ac oferuje taki poziom przepustowości, który gwarantuje skuteczne transmisje multimedialne. W artykule porównano najważniejsze parametry warstw fizycznych obu standardów

Poetry, Prosecution and the Author Function
No full textThis chapter draws on Foucault’s ‘author function’ to expose the ways in which the beginnings of Latin literature were predicated on interactions with Roman law. Foucault stipulates two principal conditions for the cultural emergence of the author, both broadly juridical in nature: penal appropriation and ownership of texts. For Foucault and others, these conditions only pertained more or less when modern copyright laws began to come into play in Europe. But penal appropriation and textual ownership were a central factor in the emergence of Latin literature in third-century BCE Rome. Poetic authorship in Latin emerged late, when juridical discourse was already well established. As I argue here, the resulting dynamic between law and literature crystallizes the Foucauldian author function in fundamental ways. The stipulation against mala carmina in the XII Tables and the concept of literary ‘theft’ — naturalized from Alexandria into Roman legal language — suggest that Foucault’s conditions were a legible part of the cultural landscape of Republican Rome. As later readers saw it in particular, from the legendary curbing of Fescennina licentia to Gnaeus Naevius’ infamous clash with the Metelli, Roman poetic authorship fundamentally emerged in the shadow of the law

Identifying idiolect in forensic authorship attribution: an n-gram textbite approach
No full textForensic authorship attribution is concerned with identifying authors of disputed or anonymous documents, which are potentially evidential in legal cases, through the analysis of linguistic clues left behind by writers. The forensic linguist “approaches this problem of questioned authorship from the theoretical position that every native speaker has their own distinct and individual version of the language [. . . ], their own idiolect” (Coulthard, 2004: 31). However, given the diXculty in empirically substantiating a theory of idiolect, there is growing concern in the Veld that it remains too abstract to be of practical use (Kredens, 2002; Grant, 2010; Turell, 2010). Stylistic, corpus, and computational approaches to text, however, are able to identify repeated collocational patterns, or n-grams, two to six word chunks of language, similar to the popular notion of soundbites: small segments of no more than a few seconds of speech that journalists are able to recognise as having news value and which characterise the important moments of talk. The soundbite oUers an intriguing parallel for authorship attribution studies, with the following question arising: looking at any set of texts by any author, is it possible to identify ‘n-gram textbites’, small textual segments that characterise that author’s writing, providing DNA-like chunks of identifying material
Cytochrome oxidase subunit VI of Trypanosoma brucei is imported without a cleaved presequence and is developmentally regulated at both RNA and protein levels
No full textMitochondrial respiration in the African trypanosome undergoes dramatic developmental stage regulation. This requires co-ordinated control of components encoded by both the nuclear genome and the kinetoplast, the unusual mitochondrial genome of these parasites. As a model for understanding the co-ordination of these genomes, we have examined the regulation and mitochondrial import of a nuclear-encoded component of the cytochrome oxidase complex, cytochrome oxidase subunit VI (COXVI). By generating transgenic trypanosomes expressing intact or mutant forms of this protein, we demonstrate that COXVI is not imported using a conventional cleaved presequence and show that sequences at the N-terminus of the protein are necessary for correct mitochondrial sorting. Analyses of endogenous and transgenic COXVI mRNA and protein expression in parasites undergoing developmental stage differentiation demonstrates a temporal order of control involving regulation in the abundance of, first, mRNA and then protein. This represents the first dissection of the regulation and import of a nuclear-encoded protein into the cytochrome oxidase complex in these organisms, which were among the earliest eukaryotes to possess a mitochondrion
