    Das Geheimnis von Mr. Dudding. Eine amouröse Jugend- und Reisebekanntschaft J. J. Rousseaus stellt drei Rätsel in einem dar : Rousseau lebt diese Liebschaft unter angenommenen Namen und angenommener Identitat - als Mr. Dudding, ein nach Frankreich gefluchteter englischer Jacobiter - ; er erfährt in ihr nach eigenem Bekunden zum einzigen Mal in seinem Leben wirkliche Lust ; am Beginn der Reise von vielfachen Schmerzen geplagt, verläßt er seine Gefährtin undThe Mystery of Mr Pudding. In his travels as a young man, Jean-Jacques Rousseau had a love affair which presents three enigmas in one : during this romance, he lived under a false name and identity, as Mr Dudding, an English Jacobite sheltering in France ; in it, he says, he had the only experience of enjoyment in his life ; having suffered countless ailments at the start of his journey, he left his beloved and attained his goal, practically cured. Contrary to the whole critical tradition, this article takes Dudding seriously : it is neither a pseudonym not a fantasy, but an authentic borrowed name, the product of coherent, meaningful symbolic elaboration. If every personal name refers to a body and also to its past trajectory and its present position in the space of representations constituting a social universe, of what body -suffering from what ?- and in what trajectory, is "Dudding" the marker ? An analysis in three stages clarifies the mystery. It also becomes clear that ethnography can objectify the intimate experience an individual has of his own reality, so long as it grasps and then describes data that are at once subjective and relational, experienced and represented in a unified perspective and language.Le mystère de Mister Dudding. Un amour de jeunesse et de voyage de Jean Jacques Rousseau pose trois énigmes en une : il vit cette liaison sous un nom et une identité d'emprunt - Mister Dudding, jacobite anglais réfugié en France ; il y fait l'expérience unique en sa vie, dit-il, de la jouissance ; souffrant mille maux au départ du voyage, il quitte sa compagne et atteint son but, pratiquement guéri. A rebours de toute la critique, on prend ici Dudding au sérieux : ni pseudonyme, ni mythomanie, mais nom d'emprunt vrai, produit d'une élaboration symbolique cohérente et sensée. Si tout nom personnel se réfère à un corps en même temps qu'à sa trajectoire passée et à sa position présente dans l'espace de représentations constitutif d'un univers social, de quel corps - malade de quoi ? - et de quelle trajectoire - dans quel(s) espace(s) ? -Dudding est-il le repère signifiant ? Une analyse en trois volets conduit à percer le mystère à jour. On y montre, en même temps, que l'ethnographie peut objectiver l'expérience qu'un être a de sa propre réalité, intus et in cute, à condition d'appréhender, puis de décrire, des données qui sont à la fois subjectives et relationnelles, vécues et représentées dans une perspective et un langage unifiés.El misterio de Mister Dudding. Un amor de juventud y de viaje de Jean Jacques Rousseau plantea tres enigmas en uno : él vive una relación amorosa con un nombre y una identidad ficticios -Mister Dudding, inglés jacobita refugia- do en Francia : hace la única experiencia de su vida, dice él, del goce ; sufriendo mil males al comienzo del viaje, deja a su compañera y logra su fin, prácticamente curado. Al contrario de toda la critica, se toma aquí Dudding en serio : ni seudónimo, ni mitomanía, empero verdadero nombre ficticio, producto de una elaboración simbólica, coherente y sensata. Si todo nombre personal se refiere a un cuerpo al mismo tiempo que a su trayectoria pasada y a su posición presente en el espacio de representaciones constitutivo de un universo social, de que cuerpo -enfermo de qué ?- y de que trayectoria -en que espacio(s)- es Dudding la señal significarte ? Un análisis en tres postigos conduce a penetrar el misterio. Se muestra, al mismo tiempo, que la etnografía puede objetivar la experiencia que tiene un ser de su propia realidad, intus et in cute, a condición de aprehender, luego de describir, unos datos que son a la vez subjetivos y relacionales, vividos y representados en una perspectiva y un lenguaje unificados.Macherel Claude.

    Pulsed field magnetometer for industrial use

    No full text
    An industrial pulsed field magnetometer was developed, focusing on industrial needs. The system is to be used for the complete characterizing of permanent magnets in a production-line situation. The purpose is to create a fast, reliable, and accurate magnetometer for quality control but also, in a later step, as a standard measurement method for magnets

    Eddy currents in pulsed field measurements

    Eddy current magnetization of spherical and cylindrical samples of technical copper and aluminum were measured in a pulsed field magnetometer using different pulse durations. The magnet was subdivided into two sections with two layers, to allow a variation of the time constant of the system. Axial-symmetric problems in electrodynamics were solved using a finite element program. Good agreement was found between the measured eddy-current moment as a function of the applied field with that calculated by a finite element program

    A quasi-linear model of electromagnetic turbulent transport and its application to flux-driven transport predictions for STEP

    No full text
    A quasi-linear reduced transport model is developed from a database of high-β\beta electromagnetic nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations performed with Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) relevant parameters. The quasi-linear model is fully electromagnetic and accounts for the effect of equilibrium flow shear using a novel approach. Its flux predictions are shown to agree quantitatively with predictions from local nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations across a broad range of STEP-relevant local equilibria. This reduced transport model is implemented in the T3D transport solver that is used to perform the first flux-driven simulations for STEP to account for transport from hybrid-KBM turbulence, which dominates over a wide region of the core plasma. Nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of the final transport steady state from T3D return turbulent fluxes that are consistent with the reduced model, indicating that the quasi-linear model may also be appropriate for describing the transport steady state. Within the assumption considered here, our simulations support the existence of a transport steady state in STEP with a fusion power comparable to that in the burning flat-top of the conceptual design, but do not demonstrate how this state can be accessed

    The Problem of Air New Zealand House in 1960s Auckland

    No full text
    In the 1960s, Auckland’s Downtown site at the prominent No. 1 Queen Street gateway faced comprehensive redevelopment, with a series of proposals combining the clearance of numerous old buildings and their replacement with a convention centre, department stores, high-rise office buildings and a public space that ultimately became known as Queen Elizabeth II Square. The Square was proposed in the first scheme developed by Professor Robert Terence Kennedy of the University of Auckland. A later scheme, by Connor & Associates, introduced a 22 storey office building on its north side. This paper explores the controversy surrounding this office building: Air New Zealand House. Groups of young architects and planners, particularly members of the Auckland Architectural Association (AAA), objected to the building, because of the negative effects they believed it would have, including increased wind speeds at street level at its base and excessive shading on the Square to its south. Utilising archival documents and newspaper reports, this paper examines the campaign against this urban renewal proposal and the technologies that the opponents used to build their case, and to demonstrate and present their concerns, particularly wind tunnel testing. The main research question becomes, how effective were the technologies of the day in predicting the negative impact that Air New Zealand House would have on its immediate surrounds? In the end, the Auckland City Council gave permission for the construction of Air New Zealand House. As built, it confirmed all the predictions about increased wind speeds and shading; QEII Square’s value as a public space was compromised from the outset. The paper shows that economics and politics were privileged over amenity value. And the decision was shortsighted, as evidenced by another major redevelopment of the site, underway at the present time
