Conference papers of Barc Scientists and engineers : a citation based study
No full textThis paper highlights the importance of conference papers in the scientific communication process. Carried out a citation analysis of 474 (8.52%) conference papers of BARC Scientists and Engineers published during 1999-2007 as per Scopus database. The highest number of papers (117) were published in 2004 and these papers have received the highest (183) number of citations. The average number of papers published per year was 52.66 and the average number of citations per paper was 1.81. Identified highly cited authors and highly cited conference papers. Concludes that conference literature has to be integrated with the databases so as to avoid the missing link in the knowledge development process
BONDEFRIHED OG ANDRE VERDENSBILLEDER IDEHISTORISKE STUDIER AF B.S. INGEMANNS DANMARKSHISTORIE 1824-1836
No full textABSTRACTPeasants’ Freedom and other Ideas of History:Studies in the Historical Literature of B.S. Ingemann 1824-1836Using a New Historicist approach this article examines four worldviews imbedded in a reading of B.S. Ingemanns historical literature which was published between 1824-1836 in the genre of two poems and four historical novels. The worldview of the author-subject (1), a worldview related to the relationship between the monarchy and the people, largely conceived within the so called ‘myth of an original peasants freedom’, a founding myth within Danish historiography (2), a worldview related to the defense of the Danish version of monarchism, in particular the thoughts put forward by the Danish lawyer Jacob Mandix (3), and finally a worldview related to notions of the ideal ‘Rechtsstat’, where Ingemanns literature is read within the context of the discipline “Law and Literature” (4). The article displays personal experiences with monarchism which becomes the primary object of investigation in the context of empirical analysis of prose fiction

J.Barnes, J.Fowles, and B.S. Johnson: case studies in the postmodern, the author, & text-editing
No full textThis thesis explores how practices of text-editing can shed new light on the utility of the terms ‘modernism’ and ‘postmodernism’ as ways of categorising mid- to late-twentieth-century fiction. The research does not aim to interrogate editorial theory or critical theory per se; but to bring these areas of the discipline into productive dialogue to further our understanding of what is meant by ‘radical’ or ‘subversive’ fiction, and the extent to which it resists interpretation. The thesis focuses on three works by three different authors: The Unfortunates by B.S. Johnson, The Magus by John Fowles, and Flaubert’s Parrot by Julian Barnes. These three novels have complex relationships with postmodernism, a label which, this thesis argues, is losing precision through overuse. I contest the categorisation of these three works as postmodern, arguing that there is value to be found in recognising their differences as well as their similarities. I call for the reinscription of the figure of the author into the text as a way of opening up new avenues of interpretation for the reader. I explore how an understanding of authorial persona, authorial intention, and the author’s creative processes can be a source of elucidation, particularly when a work has become historically distanced from a modern-day readership. The practices of text-editing are employed to demonstrate how a work like The Magus is not as radical as the postmodern label suggests it to be; how The Unfortunates is more subversive than indicated by the accusations of gimmickry and pejorative connotations of experimentalism that have hovered around the work since its publication; and how Flaubert’s Parrot, although decisively postmodernist, has subtle nuances of meaning that may be overlooked if the concept of the author is disregarded. As part of this discussion, I explore the ethics and implications of each author’s use of source material via appropriation, translation, and revision; and I show how an awareness of such processes gives us new insight into an author’s intentions. The argument is supported by archival research undertaken at the Harry Ransom Center and the British Library into authorial manuscripts and autograph notes. The thesis concludes by making a case for critical editions of these novels, along with other late twentieth-century novels that are becoming increasingly historical, with the view to reinvigorating interest in them

Multiple sets of solutions for harmonic elimination PWM bipolar waveforms: Analysis and experimental verification
No full textMultiple sets of solutions for the selective harmonic elimination pulse-width modulation method for inverter control exist. These sets present an independent solution to the same problem but further investigation reveals that certain sets may offer an improved overall harmonic performance. In this paper, a minimization method is discussed as a way to obtain these multiple sets of switching angles. A simple distortion harmonic factor that takes into account the first two most significant harmonics present in the generated waveform is considered in order to evaluate the performance of each set. The bipolar waveform is thoroughly analyzed and two cases are considered; single-phase patterns which eliminate all odd harmonics and three-phase counterparts which eliminate only the nontriplen odd harmonics from the line-to-neutral pattern but such harmonics are naturally eliminated from the line-to-line waveform. Experimental results support the theoretical considerations reported in the paper
