    Photo taken at the Salt Lake airport on July 4, 1929, when Mashashi Goto, 32-year-old pilot from Los Angeles, stopped for fuel during his attempt to fly around the world.  Henry Kasai, shown shaking Goto\u27s hand, acted as spokesman for the Japanese community as they converged at the airport to welcome Mr. Goto and wish him well for the remainder of his ambitious journey.  Later that day, Goto\u27s plane crashed in the Uinta Mountains, killing him

    Unstable periodic motion in large eddy simulation of homogeneous, isotropic turbulence

    No full text
    We study unstable, time-periodic solutions in Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of Homogeneous, Isotropic Turbulence (HIT). The turbulence is forced at large spatial scales by an external body force which induces four vortex columns in a rectangular domain with periodic boundary conditions. The dissipation range dynamics is represented by the Smagorinsky model. Both the kinematic viscosity and the Smagorinsky constant are used as a homotopy parameters connecting steady, laminar flow to turbulent inertial range dynamics. We find several families of periodic solutions, some bifurcating from the steady flow and some filtered from more turbulent dynamics, and attempt to track these solutions to the limit of fully developed turbulence

    Santos mártires jesuitas, Juan Goto, Diego Kisai y Pablo Miki

    No full text
    Los tres mártires jesuitas de Nagazaki suelen representarse juntos en las pinturas y esculturas novohispanas. Juan Soan, también llamado Juan Goto, nació en 1578, de padres cristianos. De joven estudió con los jesuitas y como catequista vivió en la isla de Jiqui y después en Osaka. Emprendida la persecución del emperador Taycasoma contra los cristianos, llegaron las órdenes para arrestar a todos los religiosos franciscanos y de la Compañía de Jesús. Juan Goto fue hecho prisionero junto con Pablo Miki y Diego Kisai; conducidos al martirio, se encontraron con otros cristianos que también serían sacrificados. El 3 de enero de 1597, los 24 prisioneros fueron conducidos con las manos atadas a la espalda hasta la plaza donde les fue cortada la oreja izquierda; posteriormente fueron trasladados en carretas a Nagazaki. Allí fueron ajusticiados en un monte con muerte de cruz, atravesados por lanzas. El 10 de junio de 1862, el papa Pío IX canonizó a estos mártires. En esta pintura se aprecia a los tres mártires jesuitas con la indumentaria de su orden. Llevan la palma que alude al martirio y las cruces de madera que recuerdan su sacrificio.

    Estudio estructural mediante micro-CT en fémur de ratas Goto-Kakizaki, modelo experimental de diabetes tipo 2 sin sobrepeso

    Fundamento: Los efectos de la diabetes tipo 2 en la microestructura y la masa ósea no están claramente definidos. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido valorar las propiedades microestructurales y la densidad mineral ósea volumétrica en ratas Goto-Kakizaki, modelo de ratas con diabetes tipo 2 sin sobrepeso que intenta soslayar la influencia de la obesidad sobre la masa ósea. Material y métodos: Se diseñó un estudio experimental con ratas Goto-Kakizaki frente a un grupo control de ratas Wistar no diabéticas de peso similar y con glucemias normales, realizándose estudios densitométricos y microestructurales de la región distal del fémur mediante microtomografía computarizada de rayos X (micro-CT). Resultados: En la densitometría volumétrica no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los grupos. El estudio microestructural mostró que el BV/TV y la conectividad trabecular estaban disminuidos en las ratas diabéticas, a la vez que aumentaban las trabéculas en forma de tubo en detrimento de las trabéculas en forma de placa. Conclusión: El deterioro de la calidad ósea trabecular podría explicar el descenso de la resistencia biomecánica ósea en la diabetes tipo 2

    Contextualizing narrative theory: reading the politics of formal innovation in contemporary women's fiction

    No full text
    To ignore the strategies and structures through which stories are told, this thesis contends, is to neglect a vital dimension of their politics. Narratology provides productive analytical tools to illuminate the complex and varied mechanics of narrative form, yet it also bears the traces of its structuralist origins. Its value is therefore contingent upon its continuing reformulation as an expansive, pluralist and contextualized critical discipline. Participating in this expansion, this thesis evidences the pertinence and vitality of some narratological models and the limitations of others. It opens up alternative critical possibilities by drawing upon insights within contemporary critical theory, from poststructuralist philosophy to transcultural feminism to sociolinguistics. Above all, my interventions proceed from close readings of innovative fiction by women writers hitherto all but unrepresented in, and therefore potentially subversive of, existing models: Nicole Brossard, Daphne Marlatt, Hiromi Goto, Ali Smith, Jackie Kay, Erna Brodber, Dionne Brand, Aritha van Herk. The first chapter formulates an in-between critical space where feminist and postmodernist theories of narrative intersect. It re-examines metafiction through the lens of auto(bio)graphical practice and feminist poststructuralist theories of self, and introduces the notions of folds and echoes to describe specific structural innovations. Chapter Two examines unconventional uses of second-person address and reconsiders existing narratological approaches in their light, focusing on the `push and pull of narrative' that the `you' form enacts. Chapter Three addresses the insufficient attention paid to multiply narrated novels, theorizing them as `narrative communities' and introducing terms to describe different internal relations between narrators, relations that can often be read as determinedly 'democratic'. The final chapter contests the hegemony of temporal models of narrativity by formulating a 'spatial poetics' that accounts both for how spatial structures can be agents of narrative change and for the complexity of textual constructions of space, which frequently exceed static definitions of 'setting'. Running throughout is a reconception of narrative as located not with the figure of the narrator, but in relations of intersubjectivity. The narratological criticism formulated here works towards a situated ethics of reading responsive to the politics of writing: it is engaged, relational, and ever in process
