No full textL’ambivalence d’un chef-d’œuvre : « Une lettre perdue » de I.L. Caragiale
Full text linkThe Ambivalence of a Masterpiece: A Lost Letter by I.L. Caragiale. A Lost Letter by I.L. Caragiale, a landmark in the history of Romanian theatre, has enjoyed throughout time numerous critical interpretations, without losing its dramatic potential. We intend to study the comic mechanism through a variety of dramatic strategies: the diversity of the scenes, the circular actions, the baffling succession of situations, starting with the loss of the compromising love letter. This play features the actors of a political electoral farce overflowing with a vaudeville-like comic, that in conjunction with parody, is targeting the ideological clichés and verbal stereotypes. A logically inconceivable humour that borders the absurd. The purpose of this kind of humour, unleashed during comical situations, is not hiding the immorality, the demagogy of a socio-political reality put under the critical scope of the author. The joyful, bitter or cruel laughter are being in a continuous competition here. The humour is thus the element that subverts the values of political commitment

Air-water flow features in skimming flow over steeply sloping stepped spillways
No full textSkimming flow over a stepped spillway is characterized by strong self-aeration downstream of the point of inception of air entrainment. In order to have a better understanding of the overall phenomenon of air entrainment and flow bulking, the main features of the self-aerated flow need to be evaluated. An experimental study has been carried out in a large-scale stepped chute assembled at the National Laboratory of Civil, Lisbon, in order to collect new air concentration data in skimming flows. In the present paper it is shown that some existing analytical models for predicting the air concentration distribution, as well as the development of the mean air concentration down the chute, compare fairly well with the experimental dat
100 de ani (100 Years) by I.L. Caragiale: Recycling the Image of the Nation
Full text linkoai:ojs2.dramatica.ro:article/5On February 1, 1899, the National Theatre of Bucharest hosted the premiere of the play 100 de ani. Revistă istorică națională a secolului XIX, în 10 ilustrațiuni [100 Years. National Historical Revue of the 19th Century, in 10 Illustrations], arranged by I.L. Caragiale. Caragiale's controversial work is a montage of verses, prose and short plays written by several Romanian authors from the past (in other words, the play consists of old literary or dramatic works, appropriated, copied and pasted to fit into a new scenario). As a matter of fact, Caragiale wrote only the stage directions and a few lines and connecting scenes. But the overall, dramaturgical-directorial vision of the script belongs to him. Considering the way Caragiale treats the works of his literary colleagues in 100 Years, one could say that, in this particular case, he does not behave as a writer, but as a true author-director (or “auteur”). The ten “illustrations” arranged by him consist of a series of more or less allegorical or symbolic representations of the century about to end, with its emblematic moments, culminating in an “apotheosis” celebrating King Carol I. In my paper, I will try to argue that Caragiale's “revue” is more than a minor piece of homage art: it is an exercise of historical re-evaluation underpinned by a philosophy of history. I will also analyse the way the author recycles the image of Romania, departing from the traditional theatrical (allegorical) representations of the nation

Temperature effect on space charge dynamics in XLPE insulation
No full textThis paper reports on space charge evolution in crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) planar samples approximately 1.20 mm thick subjected to electric stress level of 30 kVdc/mm under four temperature 25 oC, 50 oC, 70 oC and 90 oC for 24 hours. Space charge profiles in both as-received and degassed samples were measured using the laser induced pressure pulse (LIPP) technique. The dc threshold stresses at which space charge initiates are greatly affected by testing temperatures. The results suggest that testing temperature has numerous effects on space charge dynamics such as enhancement of ionic dissociation of polar crosslinked by-products, charge injection, charge mobility and electrical conductivity. Space charge distributions of very different nature were seen at lower temperatures when comparing the results of as-received samples with degassed samples. However at higher temperature, the space charge distribution took the same form, although of lower concentration in degassed samples. Space charge distributions are dominated by positive charge when tested at high temperatures regardless of sample treatment and positive charge propagation enhances as testing temperature increases. This can be a major cause of concern as positive charge propagation has been reported to be related to insulation breakdown
2D−3D crossover of the in-plane paraconductivity in optimal doped ReBa₂Cu₃O₇₋δ (Re = Y, Ho) single crystals
No full textThe effect of the fluctuation paraconductivity in optimal oxygen-doped ReBa₂Cu₃O₇₋δ (Re = Y, Ho) single crystals has been investigated. The results indicate that the theoretical model of Aslamazov–Larkin (AL) describes the temperature dependence of fluctuation paraconductivity (FP) near the critical temperature (Tc). At temperatures above the temperature of the 2D−3D crossover this dependence is appropriately described by the Lawrence–Doniach (LD) theory. The extended linear dependence of ρab(Т), in the crystal with the minimum critical temperature indicates that we have a high defect concentration in this sample. This in turn causes negative processes into forming fluctuation pairs
