Solving the More Difficult Aspects of Electric Motor Thermal Analysis in Small and Medium Size Industrial Induction Motors
No full textWith the ever-increasing pressure on electric motor manufacturers to develop smaller and more efficient electric motors, there is a need for more thermal analysis in parallel with the traditional electromagnetic design. Attention to the thermal design can be rewarded by major improvements in the overall performance. Technical papers published to date highlight a number of thermal design issues that are difficult to analyze. This paper reviews some of these issues and gives advice on how to deal with them when developing algorithms for inclusion in design software

Correspondence from Jacob C. Kellem to Andrea D. Lentz, October 23, 1973
No full textThe letter, dated October 23, 1973, addresses Ms. Andrea D. Lentz regarding the Paul Laurence Dunbar and Alice Dunbar Nelson papers. It highlights that the agreement signed by Miss Young was modified from a gift to a loan, allowing single-copy reproductions but not the sale of entire microfilm sets. Miss Young believes she is entitled to half the earnings from the microfilm sales, and the matter is recommended to be submitted to the Society's Director for consideration
A Note on Case-Based Optimization with a Non-Degenerate Similarity Function
No full textThe paper applies the ��realistic-ambitious�� rule for adaptation of the aspiration level suggested by Gilboa and Schmeidler (1996) to a situation in which the similarity between the available acts is represented by a non-degenerate function. The paper shows that the optimality result obtained by Gilboa and Schmeidler (1996) in general fails. With a concave similarity function, the best corner act is chosen in the limit. Introducing convex regions into the similarity function improves the limit choice. A sufficiently fine similarity function allows to approximate optimal behavior with an arbitrary degree of precision.
Portmerion, Proportion and Perspective
No full textThe holiday village of Portmerion was created by Bertram Clough Williams-Ellis (1883 1978) over a period of fifty-one years, starting in 1926. It was grade II listed in 1971.
However, Portmerion has become a part of western popular culture rather than of mainstream architectural history. Its use as the setting for the cult 1967 television series “The Prisoner” ensures continued worldwide interest and a constant stream of visitors.
Williams Ellis’ design methods were empirical, initial designs being adjusted by eye on site in close collaboration with trusted builders.
This paper analyses the development of Portmerion as a gesamtkunstwerk; considering the experience of movement through the village as a dynamic composition of shifting vistas, focussing the visitor on a series of constructed views. Through this analysis, Portmerion is revealed as both a manifestation of the architecture of pleasure and an exercise in the pleasure of architecture
Chaos, loss, passage and desire. The experience of diaspora in the works of Edwidge Danticat, Jamaica Kincaid, Andrea Levy and Dionne Brand
No full textThis thesis brings together the visions of four women writers of West Indian descent (Edwidge Danticat, Jamaica Kincaid, Andrea Levy and Dionne Brand) and interprets their works through the most established theories of diaspora and postcolonial studies in the attempt to illustrate the composite nature of the experience of Caribbean diaspora. It lies on the premise that such a complex phenomenon must be interpreted as both an historical event, a private happening and a socio-cultural revolution, and leads to the conclusion that one single voice cannot be enough to represent its comprehensive identity. Multivocality thus becomes a necessity and the idea of assembling the images produced by a group of authors rather, than concentrating on one particular imagery, serves to foster a bird’s eye vision able to render the kaleidoscopic character of this experience. Each chapter turns around one of these writers, whose work is interpreted according to one dominant image. Resorting to a strategy based on the collection of apparently disparate images, this thesis reinforces the idea that the complexity of the Caribbean experience of diaspora cannot be interpreted univocally and that loss, desire, chaos and transition are the leading forces of this phenomenon
