Life at war and the heroic illusions created to cope with war: a study of Stephen Crane and Tim O'Brien
No full textThis thesis will examine the fictional war novels, The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane and Going after Cacciato by Tim O‘Brien. It will examine the heroic illusions created by soldiers on the frontline as psychological coping mechanisms as a means to escape the realities of war. It will also examine how Stephen Crane and Tim O‘Brien create protagonists and characters that struggle to understand the conflicts within themselves as consequences of their developing point of view toward themselves, their war comrades, and their society‘s values and how each of these writers through observing battlefield experience comes to question the meaning of war and its effects. Stephen Crane and Tim O‘Brien investigate the moral and cultural values of their respective societies. Crane portrays the Victorian era O‘Brien examines1960‘s America. Each novel asks us to view their war with both irony and sympathy.M.A.L.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Gaye L. Alle
Dynamic Quay Crane Allocation
No full textWe introduce simple rules for quay cranes to handle containers along a berth where vessels arrive continuously in time. We first analyze a model where workload is continuous. Our analysis shows that if the system is configured properly, it will always converge to a state with the maximum possible throughput regardless of external disruptions or changes in workload. Numerical simulations based on a discrete workload model suggest that, by following the same rules, the system can still converge to state with throughput that is very close to its upper bound

Buddy L. Mechanical Magnetic Crane
No full textThis crane was manufactured by Buddy L Manufacturing Company in the 1930\u27s. It is heavy sheet steel and battery operated, which powers both the crane and the trailer. The crane has a magnet that can lift small metal objects. The magnet can be lowered or lifted by manually cranking the rope. The rubber tracks rotate the metal wheels.https://digitalcommons.chapman.edu/tomlinson_toys/1034/thumbnail.jp
Control of a Tower Crane with a Pragmatic Hierarchical Algorithm
No full textTower crane systems are commonly used at construction sites. The need to damp the swinging of the load presents a task requiring great skill for manual control. This has led earlier researchers to apply elaborate control strategies. In this paper, we propose the use of a ‘pragmatic’ paradigm to define a system that can move the load to the desired target with little or no swing. The essence of pragmatic control is gleaned from autopilot designs of half a century ago. The control is designed as a set of ‘nested loops’. The error in an outer loop defines a demand value for the next inner loop, so for example the load position error defines a corrective velocity. In each case the demand is subjected to a limit. This is continued through each layer until the innermost loop, which might take the form of a velocity loop wrapped around a motor to give crisp velocity control. The dynamic model is derived as a state space representation. The proposed strategy was tested by MATLAB which showed that the strategy is successful and effective to control a tower crane system and suppress the load swing. Comparisons are made between the performance of this simples control strategy and that of the complex published alternatives
