The world of chilhood for Jabbar Yassin Hussin and the writing of life for Annie Ernaux
No full textDeux auteurs sont présents dans mon travail : l'écrivaine française Annie Ernaux et l'écrivain irakien Jabbar Yassin Hussin, ce sont les deux piliers sur lesquels se base mon analyse. C'est la condition de la femme qui s'impose fortement dans les écrits d'Annie Emaux où le féminisme atteint un degré maximal et où se croisent deux facteurs : L'inégalité des rôles entre la femme et l'homme, d'un côté, et d'un autre côté l'injustice masculine pratiquée sur les femmes par les hommes ainsi que par la société. Ce travail présente le visage semi-caché de l'auteure française où se mêlent l'enfance et l'intime, l'avortement et la mort, la relation conflictuelle des parents et leur amour. L'écriture chez elle est une pratique qui lui permet de relire sa vie passée pour en déduire les douleurs possibles. Cette même pratique d'écriture permet à l'écrivain irakien de retrouver l'enfant perdu qui vit dans son intérieur. Cet enfant autobiographique pousse Jabbar Yassin Hussin à relire son pays, dont il ne cesse de boire l'eau et de sentir l'air, pour guérir sa douleur du dépaysement. Notre étude montre donc que l'écriture exprime une cicatrice transcendée. Les deux auteurs expriment et s'expriment à partir d'un enfant qui leur semble à la fois étrange et familier, mais en vérité autobiographique. Annie Emaux écrit et dissèque une enfance vécue tandis que Jabbar Yassin Hussin explore une enfance perdue. Les deux écrivains sont proche l'un à l'autre au stade de la perte, l'écrivaine française cherche à cicatriser ses blessures de femme blessée et (( gelée ». L'irakien vise à remédier à la perte de son pays.Les deux auteurs cherchent, d'abord, à effacer les traces de cette perte et tiennent, ensuite, à réécrire des nouveaux traits de leur vie où la perte se transforme en mots. Annie Emaux raconte ses années à partir d'une mémoire riche et illustre ces années par des photos où apparaît d'abord une petite fille, puis une femme et finalement une vieille dame qui cherche à saisir le dernier fil d'espoir de son existence : l'écriture.Jabbar Yassin Hussin cherche, quant à lui, à raconter l'Irak, son pays d'origine, où l'enfant (auteur et narrateur) a passé des débuts d'existence tranquille et pour retrouver, de nouveau, beaucoup plus tard cette tranquillité première ; il prend l'écriture comme une solution indispensable et invulnérable. Notre étude se base donc sur trois notions : l'enfance, l'autobiographie et l'écriture comme solution pour échapper à une perte essentielle et existentielle chez nos deux auteurs.The two authors that presents my work are: the French writer Annie Emaux and the Iraqi writer Jabbar Yassin Hussin, they are the Two pillars which an: my analyses based on. It is the condition of the woman which imposes itself strongly in Annie Emaux's writings where the feminism reach a maximum degree and where two factors are intersects: inequality of roles between the women and man, in one side, and In the other side the male injustice which is practice on the woman from the men and also from the society. This work presents the semi hidden face of the French author where the childhood and intimacy, abortion and death, conflictual relations of parents and their love, are mixed. The writing for her is a practice which permits to her to re read her past life in order to reduce possible pains. It is the same writing practice which permits to the Iraqi writer to re find the lost child who is living inside him. This autobiographical child push Jabbar Yassin Hussin to re read his country which he could not stop himself from drinking from its water and breathing its air to heal his pain of exile. So our study shows that the writing express of an oppressive scar. The two writers expressed themselves through a child who seems to them strange and familiar at the same time, but he is in reality autobiographical. Annie Emaux writes and dissects living childhood while Jabbar Yassin Hussin is exploring a lost childhood. The two writers are close to each other on the field of loss. the French writer is searching for dressing her wound as an injury and «frozen woman". The Iraqi one seeks to therapy his lost of his country. The two authors search at the beginning to erasure the traces of that loss and trying to re-write a new features of their life where the loss is transformed in words. Annie Emaux tells her years through a rich memory and she illustrate these years by pictures where firstly a small girl appears then a woman and finally an old lady who is look for holding the last hope thread of her existence: the writing. Jabbar Yassin Hussin search for narrating Iraq, bis origin country, where the child (author and narrator) spend the beginning of his tranquility existing and to re-find, once again, Later that first tranquility; he takes the writing as an indispensable and an invulnerable solution. Our study is based on three notions: the childhood, the autobiography and the writing as a solution to escape from the essential and existential loss for our two authors

Characterization and Structural Elucidation of the Complex Mixture Thearubigins in Black Tea using Advanced Analytical Mass Spectrometry
No full textThearubigins are the most abundant pigments found in black tea, contributing to a wide range of heterogeneous fractions of polyphenolic oxidation products. The term thearubigins has been introduced fifty years ago but up till now their chemical nature remained unresolved and a challenge for the scientists despite many attempts and efforts made to understand their composition. Detailed structural knowledge of thearubigins is of high interest to understand their sensory properties in order to assist the manufacturing and quality of black tea as an economically important beverage. By employing a strategy in combining a series of advanced powerful mass spectrometry techniques, the chemical composition and structural elucidation of these compounds were achieved. A series of analytical mass spectrometry experiments including ESI-LC tandem mass and ESI-LC-TOF mass spectrometry, MALDI-TOF-TOF mass spectrometry, ESI-UPLC ion mobility mass spectrometry, MALDI imaging mass spectrometry were employed in combination with experimental potentiostatic studies and theoretical computational analysis. In this work, two classes of compounds were identified and a new structural hypothesis in thearubigin formation was further substantiated. The data revealed the presence of polyhydroxylated dimers of the theanaphthaquinone and theasinensin C structures, which were consistent with the polyhydroxylation hypothesis previously formulated. Furthermore, new class of peroxo-/ epoxi- compounds in the series of theasinensin A were identified, thus indicating the presence of H2O2 and its important contribution in the tea fermentation process. A series of novel trimeric and tetrameric catechins were identified. The results showed that the structures of these compounds provide for the first time experimental evidence on oxidative oligomerisation of flavan-3-ols through an oxidative coupling pathway, most notably between theaflavin/ theasinensin and oxidized flavan-3-ols. Furthermore, the regiochemistry of the new trimeric structures were suggested based on computational studies. Isomeric structures were also resolved based on the energy dimension in direct infusion MSn experiments.
An electrochemical model oxidation system was established. Theasinensins, theaflavins and their gallate esters were identified and shown as the main reaction products obtained from the electrochemical oxidation process performed, thus acting as the main precursors for further oxidation processes in thearubigin formation. Since thearubigins are one of the most complex mixtures present in nature, being composed of sets of multiple isomers, the differentiation between isomeric structure of theasinensins, proanthocyanidins B-type, and rutin (Quercetin-3-O-rutinoside) were studied according to their mobility drift times acquired and the assignment of the individual isomeric structures were based on comparison between their experimental drift times and theoretical collisional cross sections. Furthermore, polyphenolic components present in the tea leaves and their spatial distribution were located allowing a molecular mapping of the green tea constituents to be achieved. A new free matrix MS imaging method was developed for the first time, where the biochemical process occurring in a young green tea leaf has been determined. Finally, the importance of thearubigins on the health benefits by studying its inhibitory activity on nutrient cultures containing both gram positive and gram negative bacteria was highlighted.
This study characterizes the thearubigin as a complex mixture, reveals the important reaction mechanism occurring and identifies novel components, shows the main polyphenolic occurring components as main precursors in the oxidation process, demonstrates the isomerism present in thearubigin fractions, reveals the initial biochemical processing in the leaf matrix, and shows its important biological activity. In a word, this study serves a step forward for unraveling the mystery of black tea

Modeling and Simulation of Highly Efficient and Eco-Friendly Perovskite Solar Cells Enabled by 2D Photonic Structuring and HTL-Free Design
No full textA novel, eco-friendly perovskite solar cell design is investigated using numerical simulations based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The proposed structure incorporates a two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PhC) architecture featuring a titanium dioxide (TiO2) cylindrical electron extraction layer. To reduce fabrication complexity and overall production costs, a hole-transport-layer-free (HTL-free) configuration is employed. Simulation results reveal a significant enhancement in photovoltaic performance compared to conventional planar structures, achieving an ultimate efficiency of 42.3%, compared to 36.6% for the traditional design—an improvement of over 16%. Electromagnetic field distributions are analyzed to elucidate the physical mechanisms behind the enhanced absorption. The improved optical performance is attributed to strong coupling between photonic modes and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), which enhances light–matter interaction. Furthermore, the device exhibits polarization-insensitive and angle-independent absorption characteristics, maintaining high performance for both transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) polarizations at incidence angles up to 60°. These findings highlight a promising pathway toward the development of cost-effective, lead-free perovskite solar cells with high efficiency and simplified fabrication processes

A Low-Power Oscillatory Feature Extraction Unit for Implantable Neural Interfaces
No full textPower and area efficient on-chip feature extraction is needed for future closed-loop neural interfaces. This paper presents a feature extraction unit for neural oscillatory synchrony that bypasses the phase extraction step to reduce hardware complexity. Instead, the sine and cosine of the phase are directly approximated from the real and imaginary components of the signal to calculate the phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) and phase locking value (PLV). The synthesized design achieves state-of-the-art performances at 43 nW/channel and 0.006 mm2, while maintaining sufficient accuracy for seizure detection in epileptic patients.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Bio-Electronic
Steady State Hydroplaning Risk Analysis and Evaluation of Unsteady State Effects
No full textHydroplaning is a major concern on high speed roadways during heavy rainfall events. Hydroplaning tools are widely used by designers to reduce their roadway’s hydroplaning potential, therefore reducing the possibilities of severe crashes. This dissertation presents two methodologies for improving the prediction of hydroplaning potential.
The first phase focused on improving an existing widely used software called PAVDRN. Using multiple datasets from the Florida Department of Transportation, the author filtered the data using specific criteria to leave only truly dynamic hydroplaning crashes. The author then evaluated PAVDRN’s prediction capabilities and assessed its reliability in predicting a hydroplaning crash. Using past accident statistics, the author accounted for extraneous factors that are difficult to capture, such as driver behavior, and obtained probability factors for a more realistic estimate of hydroplaning risk on roadways. The second phase focused on improving the modeling technique used in hydroplaning prediction tools. Currently when assessing a roadway’s hydroplaning potential, the roadside drainage is not considered in the analysis. The author modeled a combined pavement-drainage system using a 1D/2D method to better capture the effects of roadside drainage, especially in the events of flooding. The methodology used in modeling successfully captures the backwater effects that are caused under critical flooding conditions. Lastly the author created a new tool (MY-PAVDTCH) to provide design engineers with updated waterfilm thickness values under roadside drainage flooded conditions
