Cutting'aesthetic teeth' : Flannery O'Connor's habit of art
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoEste trabalho foi sugerido pela afirmação de Flannery O'Connor que sua "dedicação estética" nasceu através do contato com Art and Scholasticism de Jacques Maritain. O propósito foi chegar a uma interpretação do sentido da frase. Uma investigação detalhada foi feita do conteúdo de Art and Scholasticism, posteriormente contrastada com os resultados de uma pesquisa feita em seus ensaios e suas cartas, o que revelou numerosos ecos de diversos trechos constando no texto de Maritain. Três pontos principais foram escolhidos como critérios na análise do hábito artístico de O'Connor: 1) a prática de arte implica uma luta; 2) a arte somente pode ser percebida pelos sentidos; e 3) a prática de arte exige do artista a dedicação indivisa à obra nascente. O estudo conclui que, para O'Connor, o brotar da dentição estética, através da leitura de Art and Scholasticism, significou que, ao perceber na análise da natureza da arte algo com que podia concordar, ela reconheceu tanto sua própria capacidade de tornar-se uma artista literária, quanto sua vontade de assumir a tarefa de desenvolver em sua pessoa o hábito de arte

Collimated fast electron beam generation in critical density plasma
No full textSignificantly collimated fast electron beam with a divergence angle 10° (FWHM) is observed when an ultra-intense laser pulse (I = 1014 W/cm2, 300 fs) irradiates a uniform critical density plasma. The uniform plasma is created through the ionization of an ultra-low density (5 mg/c.c.) plastic foam by X-ray burst from the interaction of intense laser (I = 1014 W/cm2, 600 ps) with a thin Cu foil. 2D Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulation well reproduces the collimated electron beam with a strong magnetic field in the region of the laser pulse propagation. To understand the physical mechanism of the collimation, we calculate energetic electron motion in the magnetic field obtained from the 2D PIC simulation. As the results, the strong magnetic field (300 MG) collimates electrons with energy over a few MeV. This collimation mechanism may attract attention in many applications such as electron acceleration, electron microscope and fast ignition of laser fusion.Peer reviewe
Automation of scour analysis at Louisiana bridge sites.
No full text87-1H(B)The computerized system for the organization, analysis, and display of field collected scour data is described. This system will enhance the current manual procedure of accomplishing these tasks. The system accepts input from the user, and based on user specification, allows the data to be organized and viewed in a variety of formats. These include cross sections from scour measurements at selected locations upstream or downstream of the bridge, longitudinal profiles through a selected pier, or the temporal history of maximum scour activity within a given specified area near the bridge. The data may be viewed in tabular as well as graphical formats. In addition, the available scour data in four bridge sites were analyzed and used to develop regression equations which relate long-term channel degradation at these bridge sites to flow and geometric variables. These equations were incorporated into the computer system such that the user may input desired hypothetical discharges and states and the system will compute the resulting long-term scour. This hypothetical value is then added to the scour activity graphs so the hypothetical bottom elevation can be compared to the existing bottom and critical pier elevations. Various digital hydrographic survey equipment systems were also investigated and recommendations are made with regard to possible future purchases
Kinetic energy less lethal weapons and their associated blunt trauma injuries
No full textA widely used class of Less Lethal Weapon is the kinetic energy projectile. This can cause blunt trauma to the targeted person and, under certain circumstances, its use can result in permanent injury or death. The low velocity at which Less Lethal projectiles are launched results in inaccuracy of use thus increasing the possibility that non targeted areas of the body susceptible to injury by blunt trauma will be hit. This research has been focused to investigate the impact characteristics of kinetic energy Less Lethal projectiles using different masses, materials, geometries and impact velocities and how they affect the criteria for injury to the head and the thorax.
Computer based models for simulating impacts and possible injuries were investigated. Hydro codes were used to predict the effect of a range of projectile masses and impact velocities for a simplified human target. Physical models were built and tested to compare with the computer predictions. A correlation between projectile mass, velocity and skin penetration was found.
Research was carried out on the impact process using an instrumented projectile to measure the acceleration experienced by the projectile and the duration of acceleration for a range of target materials. A simulated head model with a displacement transducer was used to investigate the impact properties of a range of projectile geometries with the objective of identifying the probable effect on blunt trauma and the level of injury that may be sustained. The introduction of air cavities into the projectile reduced the recorded displacement as well as its acceleration whilst extending the duration of the impact.
High-speed video was used to investigate the impact process between the projectile and the target using a simulated thorax. The target used was a Behind Armour Blunt Trauma (BABT) test rig originally developed to investigate behind armour blunt trauma associated with combat body armour impacted by high velocity projectiles. A wide range of projectile geometries, materials and masses were investigated to examine the probable effect on blunt trauma and the level of injury that may be sustained. The introduction of air cavities and reduction of projectile mass was found to slightly reduce the rate of displacement in the BABT rig; however the maximum displacement remained similar because of the similar masses and velocities involved

Exploration of aggregates in Louisiana.
No full text87-2GTAggregate material deposits which can be processed economically for construction materials are an important resource for the state and the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD). This need, together with the shortage of aggregates in the state, necessitated a thorough study in development of an exploration methodology for mapping the availability, location and extent of aggregate materials. This report describes a comprehensive exploration methodology which involves the integration of terrain analysis techniques, and geomorphological and geotechnical studies to locate aggregates in Louisiana. Landform analysis from aerial photographs along with geomorphic analysis to topographic forms has indicated the areas of promise which required futher in-situ investigations. Ground methods, employing both geotechnical and field sampling techniques, have aided stratigraphic analysis and refined the image based expectations. The techniques employed are explained in detail so that they can be readily put into practice. Specific sites were identified, one in each region of Louisiana, and are used as examples to demonstrate the principles of exploration from broad scale mapping to site-specific exploration. In summary, sand and gravel deposits are generally associated with modern river floodplains and valleyflanking Late Pleistocene terraces. In the coastal terraces of south Louisiana, gravel-bearing river trends also occur oblique to present river systems. Older gravel-bearing trends of modern and Late Pleistocene rivers are the most favorable for mining since cost-effective hydraulic mining techniques can be used. The older deposits provide suitable quantities of gravel by dry mining techniques when increased clay fractions and presence of iron oxides are not important considerations
