Análisis de la traducción de las imágenes culturales en la literatura chinoamericana: "La esposa del Dios del Fuego", de Amy Tan
No full textThis article explored the second novel, The kitchen God´s wife, written by the famous Chinese American writer Amy Tan, published in 1991 and its translation skills of Chinese cultural images showed between the Chinese translation and Spanish translations. By using the original English, Chinese translation and Spanish translation, it compared two different target languages to see if the readers can receive the Chinese cultural images from the original author. The result shows that there are different ways from the translation skills of the translator, depending on different culture and languages; translator with Chinese background understood that the author of the original book depicted Chinese culture. So the Chinese version of this novel is more able to transmit original author´s Chinese Cultural Images.Mediante el presente trabajo, analizaremos la traslación de las imágenes socioculturales chinas en la traducción de la segunda obra de la conocida autora chinoamericana Amy Tan, The kitchen God´s wife, examinando las técnicas de traducción de las imágenes culturales chinas, tanto de la versión china como de la versión española. Sirviéndonos del estudio de la obra original publicada en inglés y las dos traducciones, china y española, comparamos si en los dos textos traducidos pueden percibirse con claridad las imágenes culturales chinas que pretende transmitir la pluma de la autora. El resultado revela que los traductores emplean diferentes técnicas de traducción, pero es en la versión china donde se transmiten las imágenes culturales chinas con mayor nitidez y fidelidad
The Other Side of Silence: Using fiction to explore the resources and limitations in writing about women's lives
No full textThis dissertation consists of two distinct components: a creative manuscript, titled “The Other Side of Silence,” and an accompanying exegesis. Both pieces endeavour to answer key questions: What are the different ways fiction might be used to write about the life of a woman from the past? How might we write about such women, taking into account the constraints by which their stories have been forgotten, omitted or displaced? And what are the implications of foregrounding such silences in the writing and reading of narratives?
“The Other Side of Silence” tells the story of Alba, an Italian woman who, with her young family, is leaving her hometown of Salerno for Australia in 1952. The narrative focuses on Alba’s relationship with her mother, Serafina, who fears that Alba’s journey to Australia is motivated by a desire to distance herself from her past. Within this narrative I explore how each of these characters views and consequently deals with the past.
The exegesis discusses several texts that have influenced and inspired “The Other Side of Silence.” In reading contemporary texts about the lives of women in the past, I noted two distinct approaches in the ways women’s stories were written. Some writers use recuperative strategies that allow them to tell stories previously omitted from or distorted by historical discourse and dominant cultural ideologies. By contrast, other writers use poststructuralist narrative strategies to foreground the ways in which traditional realist narratives gloss over the gaps, contradictions and omissions in women’s stories. These alternative narratives indicate how revelation and closure in traditional realism can preclude the probing of some subtle and significant questions about narrating and making sense of women’s experiences. The exegesis examines the different ways writers have challenged and subsequently enlarged conventional notions of realist fiction to imagine and speculate on the possibilities for and limitations on narrative
The design of a heat recovery system on greywater in the kitchen context
No full textThis project aims to create a proof of concept to evaluate the potential value of implementing a heat recovery system for Quooker in the kitchen context. In response to the global goal of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, reducing energy loss has become a shared priority. Heat recovery systems can significantly decrease energy consumption, leading to economic and sustainable benefits. In collaboration with Quooker B.V., this project assesses the feasibility and impact of integrating such a system in kitchen environments. The evaluation follows a triple diamond approach, consisting of four stages: discover, define, develop, and deliver. During the discover phase, extensive research is conducted on kitchen contexts, user behavior, existing heat recovery systems, and the characteristics of current kitchen setups. The define phase involves exploring various design directions, identifying potential hazards, and selecting a single promising direction for further development. In the development phase, two design principles are prototyped and tested to determine which one offers the optimal heat recovery rate relative to its initial cost and carbon footprint. The deliver phase focuses on final testing, where the developed concept is evaluated for efficiency during typical kitchen activities, such as draining water after cooking and using the dishwasher. The results are analyzed over a 10-year period of daily use. The project concludes with an assessment of the final concept’s viability, feasibility, and desirability. Recommendations for further research and potential hazards associated with the implementation ofthe heat recovery system for Quooker are provided.Integrated Product Desig
A Cryo-CMOS DAC-based 40 Gb/s PAM4 Wireline Transmitter for Quantum Computing Applications
No full textState-of-the-art quantum computers already comprise hundreds of cryogenic quantum bits (qubits), and prototypes with over 10k qubits are currently being developed. Such large-scale systems require local cryogenic electronics for qubit control and readout, leaving the digital controllers for algorithm execution and quantum error correction (QEC) at room temperature due to the limited cryogenic cooling budget. The entire process, including qubit readout, data transmission, QEC, and algorithm execution, should be completed well within the qubit decoherence time, thus requiring a low-power high-speed communication link between the cryogenic quantum processor and classical processor located at room temperature. To this end, this paper presents the first cryo-CMOS high-speed 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) wireline transmitter. Thanks to a power-efficient serializing architecture driving a 6-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the 40-nm CMOS chip achieves a data rate of 40 Gb/s PAM4 with an efficiency of 2.46pJ/b and a ratio of level mismatch (RLM) of 97.8% at 4.2 K. While demonstrating an energy efficiency comparable to state-of-the-art transmitters in more advanced CMOS nodes, the extremely wide temperature operating range (4.2 K - 300 K) will enable future large-scale quantum computers.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.QCD/Babaie LabElectronicsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer ScienceQuantum Circuit Architectures and Technolog

Full Plate Living-Teaching Kitchen: A Sustainable Approach to Employee Health
No full textAbstract
Insufficient fiber intake is a key contributor to diet-related chronic diseases (DRCD) such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. This evidence-based health promotion program evaluated integrating a teaching kitchen with the Full Plate Living Plan (FPL-TK) to increase daily fiber intake. Grounded in the Social Cognitive Theory, the 8-week employee health promotion program included hands-on culinary demonstrations, a structured FPL nutrition curriculum, and fiber tracking tools to help participants engage and participate in weekly health and wellness changes. The program successfully achieved high engagement rates, with 80% of participants reporting high satisfaction with the program and 100% of participants stating they would participate in this program again. Overall, 93% of participants self-reported increased daily fiber intake due to the FPL-TK program, and the result showed a 233% increase in fiber-rich foods presented pre vs post-potluck. One major limitation of this study was the small sample size and although biometric data was not statistically significant, the study was clinically significant to the program site and participants. Longitudinal studies are needed to highlight the effectiveness of increased fiber intake on reducing DRCD.

Las Bexareñas and Their Wills: Women’s Material Culture and Cataloguing Practices in Spanish San Fernando de Béxar
No full textThe women of San Fernando de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas) on the northern edge of New Spain faced the many challenges of frontier life. The belongings of these women were limited compared to that of women in other parts of New Spain, yet the Béxar women accumulated, largely through inheritance, religious paintings, statues, and crucifixes as well as clothing, jewelry and kitchen wares. Some women had luxuries and furniture from other parts of New Spain or the world. Through their wills, women catalogued their most prized possessions. Not all women left behind wills, but those who did catalogued their precious belongings with care. This study uses wills from San Fernando de Béxar in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to examine what possessions women included in their wills and explains how they catalogued this property
The common kitchen culinary incubator
No full textThe Common Kitchen is a culinary incubator at Southern New Hampshire University's School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Management in Manchester, New Hampshire. The purpose of The Common Kitchen is to help low-income residents of the Manchester area gain improved financial self-sufficiency through the profitable ownership of small food-based businesses. This will be achieved by providing incubator participants access to various resources often difficult or prohibitively expensive to access on their own. This will allow participants to either start their own business, or allow them to grow an already existing business that needs an infusion of resources to move to the next level.
TCK (The Common Kitchen) offers participants' use of a low-cost commercial kitchen provided by the Hospitality School the ability to cut operating costs by ordering raw inputs in bulk through the incubator, and guidance in the licensing and permitting process. Through its networks within the University and throughout the Manchester area, T C K will help clients make the connections necessary to give their businesses the best chance of success. T C K will help them to access valuable training in business through the SNHU School of Business, to get help with marketing and promotion through the SNHU Ad Lab, to help them apply for funding through banks and microfinance institutions and to gain improved knowledge and skills in commercial food production and processing by working with the SNHU School of Hospitality.
With these new tools at their disposal, incubator participants will greatly improve their chances of successfully incubating their small food businesses and will after which be ready to move on to their own or shared facilities elsewhere in the community.
Graduates of the incubator will move towards experiencing a long-term and sustainable increase in their incomes through profitable small business ownership.
The first step in this process is to establish the need for a culinary incubator in the Manchester, New Hampshire area. Are the residents of Manchester ready for this sort of project, and will it help them to gain financial independence? The following sections will establish the existence and degree of need for a culinary incubator within the community. (Author abstract)Blau, M. S. (2007). The common kitchen culinary incubator.
