Brenner 2020 – Ntano – Audio 3
No full textMontage by Klaus-Peter Brenner of two audio tracks: (1) Malaŵian Sena ntano polyphonic multi-part singing. Track B3 from Gerhard Kubik and Moya Aliya Malamusi (1989), Südliches Malaŵi. Musiker aus Malaŵi. “Opeka nyimbo” Musiker-Komponisten. / Southern Malaŵi: Musicians from Malaŵi. “Opeka nyimbo” Musician-composers. Berlin: Musikethnologische Abteilung, Museum für Völkerkunde Berlin, Staatliche Museen Preußischer Kulturbesitz. MC 15. Double LP. (2) Excerpt of the Shona mbira dzavadzimu piece “Nhemamusasa”, kushaura and kutsinhira parts both played by the author; one harmonic cycle extracted, looped and tempo digitally increased according to the original tempo of recording (1). Excerpts of both tracks are looped and digitally superimposed in order to demonstrate their remarkable degree of structural congruence.

Effects of linking up of discontinuities on fracture growth and groundwater transport
No full textIt is proposed that the growth of fractures is the basic process for generating and maintaining permeability in solid rock (bedrock). Many extension fractures grow as hydrofractures, whereas many shear (and extension) fractures grow through the formation of transverse fractures that connect the adjacent tips of existing fractures. In a boundary-element analysis, the hydrofractures are modeled as being driven open by a fluid overpressure that varies linearly from 10 MPa at the fracture centre to 0 MPa at the fracture tip. The host rock has a uniform Young's. modulus of 10 GPa, a Poisson's ratio of 0.25, and is dissected by vertical joints and horizontal contacts, each of which is modeled as an internal spring of stiffness 6 MPa m(-1). The number of joints and contacts, and their location with respect to the hydrofracture tip are varied in different model runs. The results of the analyses indicate that the tensile stresses generated by overpressured hydrofractures open up joints and contacts out to considerable distances from the fracture tip, so that they tend to link up to form a hydraulic pathway. Using the same Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and internal spring constant for joints as in the hydrofracture models, boundary-element models were made to study the interaction stresses that cause neighbouring joints to become interconnected through the growth of linking transverse fractures that, ultimately, may evolve into shear fractures. The models were subjected to tensile stress of 6 MPa acting normal to the joint planes as the only loading. The offset (horizontal distance) and underlap (vertical distance) between the adjacent tips of the joints were varied between model runs. The results show a concentration of tensile and shear stresses in the regions between the neighbouring tips of the joints, but these regions become smaller when the underlap of the joints decreases and changes to overlap. These stress-concentration regions favour the development of transverse (mostly shear) fractures that link up the nearby tips of the joints, so as to form a segmented shear or extension fracture. Analytical results on aperture variation of. a hydrofracture in a homogeneous, isotropic rock are compared with boundary-element results for a hydrofracture dissecting layered rocks. The aperture is larger where the hydrofracture dissects soft (low Young's modulus) layers than where it dissects stiff layers. Aperture variation may encourage subsequent groundwater-flow channeling along a pathway generated by a hydrofracture in layered rocks

Transitando entre a Diáspora e a Terra de Israel no romance "Mikan Umikan" de Yossef Haim Brenner
No full text"Mikan Umikan" ("Daqui e de lá") é o primeiro romance de Brenner publicado na Palestina, em 1911. Brenner, integrante da segunda aliá, nasceu na atual Ucrânia, em 1881, e morreu na Palestina em 1921. Nesse romance, Brenner transita entre dois mundos: o mundo da tradição e da diáspora e o mundo novo que ele vê renascer numa terra antiga que lhe provoca dúvidas e questionamentos. Se até a época de Brenner a literatura hebraica apresentava uma visão idílica da Terra de Israel, nessa obra o autor a apresenta a partir de uma perspectiva realista. Sua obra se caracteriza por um profundo pessimismo em relação ao mundo que o rodeia. Transiting between Diaspora and the Land of Israel in the novel "Mikan Umikan" by Yossef Haim Brenner - Abstract: "Mikan Umikan" ("From Here and From There") is the first novel by Brenner published in Palestine, in 1911. Brenner, who immigrated to Palestine in the second wave of immigration (Second Alia), was born in the Ukraine in 1881 and died in Palestine in 1921. In this novel, Brenner moves between two worlds: the world of tradition and the Diaspora and the new world where he is reborn in an ancient land which presents him with doubts and questions. If until Brenner’s time Hebrew literature presented an idyllic view of the land of Israel, in this work the author portrays the land from a realist perspective. His work is characterized by a deep pessimism in regards to the world surrounding him
