After Sherlock: The Age of Fallible Detectives
No full textIn the wake of Sherlock Holmes’s success, writers and critics explored the relationship of the fallible detective to the ideological and aesthetic characteristics of the Golden Age. The author examines this phenomenon, shedding light on the transition between the infallible detectives of positivism and the vulnerable detectives of post–World War II psycho-thrillers
From Enigmas to Emotions: The Twentieth Century Canonization of Crime Fiction
No full textStarting from the early–twentieth-century criticism of the “clue-puzzle” tradition, the author investigates the progressive return of emotions to the scene of both creative and critical crime writing. The analysis encompasses aspects of the twentieth-century canonization of crime fiction, dispelling some lingering critical prejudices and presenting the genre as complex
A Raft in the Sea of Loneliness: Katherine Mansfield’s Discovery of Cosmic Anatomy
No full textM. B. Oxon’s Cosmic Anatomy and the Structure of the Ego (1921) was a prominent feature of Katherine Mansfield's 'myth' right from its inception, in the years following her death, when J.M. Murry orchestrated the publication of her uncollected writings. When Mansfield’s Journal appeared in 1927 the public came into contact with a little-known book that had changed the life of the author one year before her death. This article investigates the role Cosmic Anatomy played within the imagination of Mansfield, in relation to her late production. It also sheds light on the personality of Oxon, whose real name was Lewis Alexander Richard Wallace, notably on his relation with Mansfield's mentor, A.R. Orage, investigating Wallace’s contribution to The New Age (the journal Orage edited), which can be defined as the 'alternative thinking' laboratory in which Cosmic Anatomy is rooted
The influence of laser pulse shape and separation distance on dissimilar welding of Al and Cu films
No full textPulsed Nd:YAG laser welding of Aluminum-Copper (Al-Cu) electrical connections has been investigated, focusing attention on the definition of optimal process parameters to achieve low thickness joints by varying the laser pulse shape and separation distance. Heterogeneous joints comprising Al and Cu are often required in electrical applications due to the inherent characteristics of these materials. Nevertheless, welding of dissimilar metals such as Al and Cu involves many challenges due to the high reflectivity and poor weldability between the materials, which produce brittle microstructural compounds that lead to a reduction in mechanical and electrical properties. Metallurgical, mechanical, electrical and thermal analyses have been performed on Al-Cu lap joints to evaluate the effect of different pulse separation distances and shapes on the resulting weld seam. Process optimization achieved welded joints with a low penetrating depth and maximum tensile loads of over 110 kgf. Preliminary experiments were carried out to establish a process parameter feasibility window. A first set investigated variations in pulse energy and distance for square pulses, while a second set saw variation of the pulse energy, pulse distance and pulse shape. It was found that an optimal pulse distance for a specific parameter set exists, while a pulse shape that includes material preheating produces better results in terms of mechanical strength and electrical resistance than a pulse with high initial peak power
Kinetic modeling of pilot plant photomineralization of aqueous Cibacron CR as model molecule of industrial azo dyes on titanium dioxide-immobilizing membranes
No full textThe kinetics of photobleaching by spectrophotometric analysis and of photomineralization by total organic carbon (TOC) analysis of Cibacron CR in aqueous solutions were studied using titanium dioxide-immobilizing membranes. The experiments were carried out in a pilot plant under monochromatic irradiation. From the rate data as a function of initial concentration, the kinetic parameter k and the pseudo-thermodynamic parameter K for photobleaching were evaluated by complying with the Langmuir-Hinshelwood equation. These parameters were employed to optimize a kinetic model, which considered the mineralization of substrate S to CO2 through one single intermediate I, as being able to represent and mediate the behaviour of all the intermediates effectively formed, both S and I acting as competitive apparent adsorption agents on the immobilized semiconductor surface. By this way, the two couples of constants -k1 and K1 as well as k 2 and K2 - were obtained. With these two couples of parameters the calculated curves fitted very well to the experimental ones, both for photobleaching and photomineralization, whereas the formal Langmuir model was unable to predict rates other than those at the beginning of the bleaching process. Therefore, the Langmuir model alone is unsuitable to infer temporal disappearance of TOC during the photomineralization process. The influence of the membrane's position within the annular photoreactor at several distances from the irradiating lamp was systematically studied with optical paths varying from 2.5 to 12.8 cm. The optimum pH value in order to reach the maximum degradation was around 6, whereas at lower and higher values, a monotonous decrease in rate occurred
Walk on the wild side: Temporarily unstable paths and multiplicative sunspots
No full textWe propose a generalization of the rational expectations framework to allow for temporarily unstable paths. Our approach introduces multiplicative sunspot shocks and it yields drifting parameters and stochastic volatility. Then, we provide an econometric strategy to estimate this generalized model on the data. The methodology allows the data to choose between different possible alternatives: determinacy, indeterminacy, and temporary instability. We apply our methodology to US in?ation dynamics in the 1970s through the lens of a simple New Keynesian model. When temporarily unstable paths are allowed, the data unambiguously select them to explain the stag?ation period in the 1970s
