Dorian Gray, Tom Ripley, and the Queer Closet
No full textIn their paper, Dorian Gray, Tom Ripley, and the Queer Closet, Jonathan Alexander and Deborah Meem present and portray an imaginary conversation among an impossible but intriguing group of writers, critics, and fictional characters. These individuals speak in their own (published) voices, which are moderated by the author-facilitators and shaped into an extended rumination on art, the Doppelgänger, queerness, and literary influence. Through their dialogue, the actors reveal a tradition of the queer novel, running in this case from Oscar Wilde\u27s The Picture of Dorian Gray to Patricia Highsmith\u27s five Tom Ripley books, whereby the closet functions simultaneously as refuge from a homophobic world and creative crucible for a queer aesthetics
Concepts of "Female Inversion" and the "New Woman" in Rhoda Broughton’s "Dear Faustina" (1897)
No full textPublished in 1897, Rhoda Broughton’s fin de siècle novel "Dear Faustina" took an active part in the discursive production of two cultural figures: the New Woman and the Female Invert. Employing those identity constructs to negotiate conservative anxieties about social change, while at the same time commenting on a range of alternatives to Victorian middle-class lifestyle, the novel is clearly rooted in the discourses of transition that characterised the fin de siècle...

RELAÇÃO ENTRE O PERFIL COGNITIVO E MOTOR EM INDIVÍDUOS COM SÍNDROME DE DOWN POR MEIO DA EXECUÇÃO DE TAREFA VIRTUAL
No full textThe objective of the study was to verify if there is a relationship between the cognitive and motor profile in individuals with Down Syndrome (DS). Cross-sectional study (CAAE:58089622.5.0000.5515), with 27 individuals, 15 from the SD Group with a mean age of 17.5±5.5 years, and 12 from the Control Group, with a mean age of 19.1±5.2 years, evaluated by the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and MoveHero software (to analyze the motor profile), the Borg Scale was also used. The SD group had a statistically significant MMSE score when compared to the Control group (p<0.001). Post-hoc comparisons showed that the SD Group had a greater EA in MoveHero (p= 0.008) and the SD Group had an increase in HR from rest to the end of the activity (p= 0.050). Thus, it can be concluded that individuals with down syndrome have a greater motor performance deficit, under the influence of the cognitive profile.O objetivo do estudo foi verificar se existe relação entre o perfil cognitivo e motor em indivíduos com Síndrome de Down (SD). Estudo transversal (CAAE:58089622.5.0000.5515), com 27 indivíduos, sendo 15 do Grupo SD com média de idade de 17.5±5.5 anos, e 12 do Grupo Controle, com média de idade de 19.1±5.2 anos, avaliados pelo Mini Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM) e software MoveHero (para analisar o perfil motor), também foi utilizada a Escala de Borg. O grupo SD apresentou pontuação no MEEM estatisticamente significativa quando comparado ao grupo Controle (p<0.001). Comparações post-hoc mostraram que o Grupo SD apresentou um maior EA no MoveHero (p= 0.008) e o Grupo SD apresentou um aumento da FC do repouso para o fim da atividade (p= 0.050). Deste modo, pode-se concluir que indivíduos com síndrome de down apresentam maior déficit do desempenho motor, sob influência do perfil cognitivo
On the Frictional Sliding Contact Problem Between a Rigid Circular Conducting Punch and a Magneto-Electro Half-Plane
No full textThe frictional sliding contact problem between a homogeneous magneto-electro-elastic material (MEEM) and a perfectly conducting rigid circular punch subjected to magneto-electro-mechanical loads is considered in this paper. The problem is formulated under plane strain conditions and the resulting plane magneto-electro-elasticity equations are converted analytically using Fourier transform into three coupled singular integral equations in which the main unknowns are the normal contact stress, the electric displacement and the magnetic induction. The main contribution of this work is the derivation of an analytical closed-form solution for the normal contact stresses, electric displacement and magnetic induction distributions. The primary purpose of this investigation is to study the effect of the friction coefficient, the punch radius, the applied magneto-electro-mechanical loadings, the material composition on the contact surface and in-plane surface stresses, electric displacement and magnetic induction distributions for the case of a circular stamp profile.

Petroleum generation modeling of the organic-rich shales of Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous succession from Mintaq-01 well in the Wadi Hajar sub-basin, Yemen
No full textLate Jurassic – Early Cretaceous shales of the Naifa, Safer, and Madbi formations were studied to evaluate source rock characterization. The results of the source rock were then incorporated into basin modeling to understand the timing of hydrocarbon (HC) generation and expulsion. The Late Jurassic – Early Cretaceous shales have low to high organic matter, with total organic carbon (TOC) values in the range of 0.50%–28.01%, indicating fair to excellent source rock potential. Main oil and gas are anticipated to be generated from the Naifa, Safer, and Lam shale samples with types I and (or) II and types II–III kerogens. In contrast, the Meem samples are dominated by type III kerogen (hydrogen index, HI < 200 mg HC / g TOC), and are thus considered to be gas prone. The Late Jurassic – Early Cretaceous shale samples have temperatures of maximum pyrolysis yield (Tmax) in the range of 337–515 °C, consistent with immature to post-mature stages. The Tmax data also indicate that the Safer and Madbi shale samples have sufficient thermal maturity, i.e., peak–mature oil and gas window. The basin models indicate that the Naifa Formation is early–mature, and the onset oil generation began during the Early Miocene. The models also indicate that the main phase of oil generation in the Safer source rock began during the Late Eocene. In contrast, the Madbi source rock units had passed the peak oil generation window, and the oil was converted to gas during the Late Cretaceous to Late Eocene. The modeled HC expulsion history reveals that most oils are contributed by both Madbi units, with significant amounts of gas originating from the Meem unit.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
