The Power and The Truth. A Film. A National Project
No full textThis article tries to understand what type of film is approved by the Nicolae Ceauşescu regime and how it is promoted, through various propaganda channels. In this sense, we choose to discuss the film made by the artistic couple Manole Marcus - Titus Popovici, The Power and The Truth (1972), and we resort to a content analysis to understand the way it was made. We are also interested in the echoes of the film in the press of the time and how with the help of newspaper articles the authorities inoculate the idea that this film is the most important cinematographic achievement of the moment, a benchmark for political productions to be made from that point on.
Rezumat: Articolul de faţă încearcă să înţeleagă ce tip de film este agreat de către regimul Nicolae Ceauşescu şi în ce fel se promovează acesta, prin diversele canale de propagandă. În acest sens, alegem să discutăm filmul realizat de cuplul artistic Manole Marcus – Titus Popovici, Puterea şi Adevărul (1972), şi recurgem la o analiză de conţinut pentru a înţelege felul în care este realizat. De asemenea, ne interesează ecourile filmului în presa vremii şi cum cu ajutorul unor articole comandate de autorităţi se inoculează ideea că acest film reprezintă cea mai importantă realizare cinematografică a momentului, un etalon pentru producţiile politice care trebuie făcute din acest moment încolo.

The Evolution of the Milicier Film Genre in Communist Romania
No full textIn order to observe the manner in which the image of the Romanian militiaman is perpetuated throughout the movies produced during Nicolae Ceauşescu’s regime (1965-1989) we will analyze the most important detective films of that period. This will allow us to recognize a series of characterological and professional attributes present in the protagonists of these narratives which claimed to have come from reality. All of these heroes are shrewd, tenacious and well-intentioned because the official propaganda wanted to deliver a certain beautified image of the Romanian agent, about whom these films suggested having the mental and physical capabilities to be successful against any kind of villain and therefore being able to protect his country with a great sense of duty and commitment

MIAMI: Microscope and ion accelerator for materials investigations
No full textA transmission electron microscope (TEM) with in situ ion irradiation has been built at the University of Salford, U.K. The system consists of a Colutron G-2 ion source connected to a JEOL JEM-2000FX TEM via an in-house designed and constructed ion beam transport system. The ion source can deliver ion energies from 0.5 to 10 keV for singly charged ions and can be floated up to 100 kV to allow acceleration to higher energies. Ion species from H to Xe can be produced for the full range of energies allowing the investigation of implantation with light ions such as helium as well as the effects of displacing irradiation with heavy inert or self-ions. The ability to implant light ions at energies low enough such that they come to rest within the thickness of a TEM sample and to also irradiate with heavier species at energies sufficient to cause large numbers of atomic displacements makes this facility ideally suited to the study of materials for use in nuclear environments. TEM allows the internal microstructure of a sample to be imaged at the nanoscale. By irradiating in situ it is possible to observe the dynamic evolution of radiation damage which can occur during irradiation as a result of competing processes within the system being studied. Furthermore, experimental variables such as temperature can be controlled and maintained throughout both irradiation and observation. This combination of capabilities enables an understanding of the underlying atomistic processes to be gained and thus gives invaluable insights into the fundamental physics governing the response of materials to irradiation. Details of the design and specifications of the MIAMI facility are given along with examples of initial experimental results in silicon and silicon carbide
Small microwave ion source for an ion implanter
No full textThree kinds of small 24.5 GHz microwave ion sources have been developed for a middle current implanter. The magnetic fields of the sources are produced by an electromagnetic coil, electromagnetic coil added permanent magnet ring, and permanent magnet rings, respectively. Adopting single-hole accel-decel extraction electrodes with about 5 mA of nitrogen and oxygen, ion current can be extracted from them. The microwave power consumption is about 100-200 W.

Doubly-charged Negative Ion of C60 Molecule
No full textWithin the Dirac- and Lorentz-bubble potential models an electronic structure of the doubly-charged negative ion -2 C has been studied by a variational method. It is s 60 hown that even in the first approximation of this method when a trial wave function of the two electrons is represented as a product of one-electron functions the total energy of the system is negative, a manifestation of the existence of a stable state of the doubly-charged negative ion in these models. The second electron affinity of C60 according to estimation is about ?2 ? 1 eV. The photodetachment cross sections ?(?) of this ion have been calculated as well. Near threshold ?(?) is found to exhibit peculiar and interesting behavior. The first cross section accompanied by the transformation of the doubly-charged negative ion into a singly-charged one is exponentially small near the process threshold. The second cross section corresponds to the photodetachment of a singly-charged ion; it increases at the threshold as a power function of the kinetic energy of the photoelectron. These cross sections are of the same order as the photodetachment cross sections of atomic ions with the same electron affinity
