Michigan State University Africana Librarian Joe Lauer is interviewed by Peter Limb about Lauer's career at Michigan State and the development of the Africana Collection at the MSU Libraries
No full textMichigan State University Africana Librarian Joe Lauer is interviewed by Peter Limb about Lauer's career at Michigan State and the development of the Africana Collection at the MSU Libraries. Lauer discusses the history of the International Library within the MSU Libraries and how MSU's involvement with the University of Nigeria at Nsukka during the 1960's created a demand by faculty for more books about Africa. Lauer talks about his own interest in African Studies, how he came to work at Michigan state and describes projects that he has been involved in over the years, both at MSU and on a national level. Lauer and Limb, who is also an MSU Africana Librarian, also discuss the challenges and rewards associated with Africana librarianship, focusing specifically on collection development and cataloging. Part of the African Studies Interview Series sponsored by the MSU Libraries and the MSU African Studies Center

Real-time microdamage and strain detection during micromechanical testing of single trabeculae
No full textFor the assessment of local deformations, we recently combined mechanical testing of trabecular bone with high-speed photography. In a previous study on cuboids of human vertebral trabecular bone we found strained trabeculae to whiten, and scanning electron microscopy showed excessive microdamage in whitened zones. In the presented study we tested single trabeculae from bovine femur and tibia in a three-point-bending geometry. Whitening was detected in the form of an ellipsoid zone on the tension side on tested trabeculae. Upon crack formation the whitening fades and a whitened zone following the propagating crack tip can be seen In addition to whitening/microdamage assessment we use ink marks applied to the samples and a modified digital image correlation to obtain the local strains involved in whitening and formation. In the presented loading case the tensile strain along the long axis of the trabecula qualitatively correlates best with the whitening zones seen. Whitening and thus microdamage initiates around a local tensile strain of 3%, whereas crack initiation occurs at strains around 13%. Our results allow for the first time to correlate microdamage and local strains directly, which is direly needed for the development of realistic damage models used in finite element analyses
Covariance properties of higher genus twist correlators under R↔ 1 R durability in orbifold conformal field theory
No full textWe study R↔ 1 R duality in simple orbifold models at arbitrary orders in string perturbation theory. It is shown that duality involves certain linear relations among twist correlators at dual radii. We derive general expressions for the coefficients of these relations and show that they can be expressed in terms of functions of the orbifold cosets obeying an algebra bearing a striking resemblance to Verlinde's fusion rule algebra. Finally, we study the behavior of the coefficients under factorization, in particular their dependence on the genus. A few examples are worked out. © 1990
César Vallejo y la vanguardia en las fronteras del idioma (Dossier: Literaturas de la integración, el Sur y su diversidad)
No full textEl autor explora el efecto poético, en el caso de los vanguardistas peruanos, que tiene la inclusión de palabras extranjeras en un texto literario. Puesto que se trata de palabras ininteligibles o apenas inteligibles, tal uso remite al tipo de afasia como desorden del eje metafórico, que afecta la similitud/diferencia del lenguaje. Lauer se pregunta por qué los poetas vanguardistas recurrieron al uso de palabras de origen extranjero. En este sentido, interesa al autor destacar los cruces entre modernidad, “tecno terminología” y “extranjería del discurso”, entre cosmopolitismo y conocimiento local. Sostiene Lauer que adoptar una palabra de otro idioma “expresa el deseo de cortar con las fuentes mismas de una tradición, y constituye una crítica a una sensibilidad dada”. El autor indaga en torno a los usos poéticos de palabras de origen extranjero, desde una visión que atiende los sentidos que ellas despliegan, así como también sus aspectos gráficos, sonoros y comunicacionales.The author explores the poetic effect that has the inclusion of foreign words in a literary text in the case of the Peruvian vanguard writers. Since they are unintelligible or barely intelligible words, their usage refers us to the type of aphasia that comes from a disorder in the metaphoric axis, which affects the similarity/difference of language. Lauer reflects on why the vanguard poets resorted to the use of foreign words. In this sense, he is interested in highlighting the overlapping among modernity, “techno terminology” and “foreignicity of discourse”, and between cosmopolitanism and local knowledge. Lauer holds that taking on a word from another language “expresses the desire of severing from the sources of a tradition, and is a criticism to a given sensitivity”. The author reflects about the poetic uses of foreign words from a point of view that focuses on the senses they unfold, as well as the graphic, sound, and communicational aspects
