Shaw and Feminisms On Stage and Off
No full textWhen offstage actions contradict a playwright's onstage message, literary study gets messy. In his personal relationships, George Bernard Shaw was often ambivalent toward liberated women--surprisingly so, considering his reputation as one of the first champions of women's rights. His private attitudes sit uncomfortably beside his public philosophies that were so foundational to first-wave feminism. Here, Shaw's long-recognized influence on feminism is reexamined through the lens of twenty-first-century feminist thought as well as previously unpublished primary sources. New links appear between Shaw's writings and his gendered notions of physicality, pain, performance, nationalism, authorship, and politics. The book's archival material includes previously unpublished Shaw correspondence and excerpts from the works of his feminist playwright contemporaries. Shaw and Feminisms explores Shaw's strong female characters, his real-life involvement with women, and his continuing impact on theater and politics today.Cover -- Contents -- Foreword -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- PART I.

The musical life of Artie Shaw
No full textArtie Shaw (1910-2004) was born to a poverty-stricken family of Jewish immigrants. In
addition to his family’s economic standing, Shaw faced many hardships during his youth
including abuse, sickness, and discrimination. Through all of these adversities, Artie came to rely
on music to fit in and be successful. After gaining a reputation as a skilled sideman on clarinet
and saxophone, Artie launched a career as a bandleader, which spanned nearly two decades.
During his career, Shaw gained more wealth and fame than he ever imagined as a
troubled child growing up in New Haven, Connecticut; but early in his career, he came to detest
the dealings of the music business, of which he was at the forefront by 1938, and the pressures of
being a celebrity. Although Artie made several attempts to leave the music business, he
continuously returned either because of contractual obligations or to make money.
In addition to Artie’s complex musical life, he also led a difficult personal life. In a 53-
year period, Shaw had eight marriages, all ending in divorce or annulment. Half of these
marriages were with Hollywood actresses, and he allegedly had dozens of more affairs. In 1954,
Artie Shaw made his final retirement from performing. He lived another 50 years working as an
author and following other pursuits outside of music.Thesis (M.M.

Free boundary problems in a Hele-Shaw cell
No full textThe motion of a free boundary separating two immiscible fluids in an unbounded Hele-Shaw cell is considered. In the one-phase problem, a viscous fluid is separated from an inviscid fluid by a simple closed boundary. Preliminaries for a complex variable technique are presented by which the one-phase problem can be solved explicitly via conformal mappings. The Schwarz function of the boundary plays a major role giving rise to the so called Schwarz function equation which governs the evolution of exact solutions. The Schwarz function approach is used to study the stability of a translating elliptical bubble due to a uniform background flow, and the stability of a blob (or bubble) subject to an external electric field. The one-phase problem of a translating free boundary and of a free boundary subject to an external field are studied numerically. A boundary integral method is formulated in the complex plane by considering the Cauchy integral formula and the complex velocity of a fluid particle on the free boundary. In the case of a free boundary subject to an external electric field due to a point charge, it is demonstrated that a stable steady state is achieved for appropriate charge strength. The method is also employed to study breakup of a single translating bubble in which the Schwarz function singularities (shown to be stationary) of the initial boundary play an important role. The two-phase problem is also considered, where the free boundary now separates two viscous fluids, and the construction of exact solutions is studied. The one-phase numerical model is enhanced, where a boundary integral method is formulated to accommodate the variable pressure in both viscous phases. Some numerical experiments are presented with a comparison to analytical results, in particular for the case where the free boundary is driven by a uniform background flow
Mathematical models of bubble evolution in a Hele-Shaw Cell
No full textThis thesis concerns the mathematical model of moving fluid interfaces in a Hele-Shaw cell: an experimental device in which fluid flow is studied by sandwiching the fluid between two closely separated plates. Analytic and numerical methods are developed to gain new insights into interfacial stability and bubble evolution, and the influence of different boundary effects is examined.\ud

In particular, the properties of the velocity-dependent kinetic undercooling boundary condition are analysed, with regard to the selection of only discrete possible shapes of travelling fingers of fluid, the formation of corners on the interface, and the interaction of kinetic undercooling with the better known effect of surface tension. Explicit solutions to the problem of an expanding or contracting ring of fluid are also developed
