Charles Bukowski, outsider literature, and the Beat movement /
No full textThis book uses cultural and psycho-social analysis to examine the beat writer Charles Bukowski and his literature, focusing on representations of the anti-hero rebel and outsider. Clements considers the complexities, ambiguities, and contradictions represented by the author and his work, exploring Bukowskis visceral writing of the cultural ordinary and everyday self-narrative. The study considers Bukowskis apolitical, gendered, and working-class stance to understand how the writer represents reality and is represented with regards to counter-cultural literature. In addition, Clements provides a broader socio-cultural focus that evaluates counterculture in relation to the American beat movement and mythology, highlighting the male cool anti-hero. The cultural practices and discourses utilized to situate Bukowski include the individual and society, outsiderdom, cult celebrity, fan embodiment, and disneyfication, providing a greater understanding of the beat generation and counterculture literature.First published 2013.This book uses cultural and psycho-social analysis to examine the beat writer Charles Bukowski and his literature, focusing on representations of the anti-hero rebel and outsider.

Dash thy foot
No full textAuthor Clements effectively utilizes his university teaching experience in economics to explore the deteriorating nature of U.S. student performance...and poses the unconventional view that while economic theorizes are based on observation, their evolvement may be guided by the theorist's political leanings. He also uses economic theory to show that it is inappropriate to use the expedient of just one fiscal criteria to explain economic occurrances.

Energies 2021, 14, 4232. https://doi.org/10.3390/en14144232 The latest version of RAMP with explanation of requirements and how to start is freely accessible as “Remote-Areas Multi-energy systems load Profiles” (RAMP) from the GitHub. repository: https://github.com/SESAM-Polimi/RAMP. The model has been updated since the publication of the aforementioned paper, and the thesis supporting the latest version of the model should be published soon, with the title 'Enabling the transition to electric cooking in rural Nepali micro hydropower mini-grids', author: Will Clements This dataset supersedes the earlier version available at DOI: 10.5523/bris.lpsryevp8vxk2royoexrh2hv
Paternalism and the alleviation of poverty
No full textTypically the tools available for redistribution are price subsidies and direct cash transfers. Conventional economic theory indicates that the efficiency loss is minimized if cash transfers are used instead of price subsidies. But in almost all economies, including advanced economies, price subsidies are implemented and cash transfers are seldom used. The author argues that taxpayers enjoy the poorer citizen's specific consumption package more than improving the poorer citizen's general economic welfare. Her objective is to identify the conditions under which price subsidies represent a more efficient way of alleviating poverty than cash payments, given taxpayers'paternalistic preferences. She concludes that when the taxpayers'prevalent behavior is paternalism, and taxpayers have more weight in society, the option for redistribution would be to target price subsidies to the poor. This brings about a greater improvement in overall social welfare and happier taxpayers than any other policy. With this solution, the poor are somewhat better off, even though they would rather receive cash transfers, which would represent the same financial cost to the economy.Safety Nets and Transfers,Services&Transfers to Poor,Rural Poverty Reduction,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies
Infrared astronomy: seeing the heat : from William Herschel to the Herschel space observatory
No full textUncover the Secrets of the Universe Hidden at Wavelengths beyond Our Optical GazeWilliam Herschel's discovery of infrared light in 1800 led to the development of astronomy at wavelengths other than the optical. Infrared Astronomy - Seeing the Heat: from William Herschel to the Herschel Space Observatory explores the work in astronomy that relies on observations in the infrared. Author David L. Clements, a distinguished academic and science fiction writer, delves into how the universe works, from the planets in our own Solar System to the universe as a whole. The book first presents the major

An antiplane crack between bonded dissimilar functionally graded isotropic elastic materials
No full textThis is a pre-copyedited, author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication in The Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics following peer review. The definitive publisher-authenticated version Clements, David Laurence, An antiplane crack between bonded dissimilar functionally graded isotropic elastic materials, The Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, 2013; 66(3):333-349 is available online at: http://qjmam.oxfordjournals.org/content/66/3/333.The problem of a plane crack along the interface of two dissimilar functionally graded isotropic half-spaces under antiplane strain is considered. The materials exhibit quadratic variation in the shear modulus. Numerical values for the stress intensity factors and crack displacement are obtained for some particular materials.D. L. Clement
