Load characteristics analysis of a 100kVA synchronous generator with high temperature superconducting field winding using finite element modelling
No full textIn the development of a high temperature superconducting synchronous generator it is important to analyse the magnetic saturation o the machine so that its internal state during load operation prior to the disturbance is accurately predicted. Furthermore, the use of a superconducting field winding makes the machine more vulnerable to system instability. A modest increase in the field current may cause large loss densities in the winding, leading to thermal runaway. This would require the machine to be shut down while the winding temperature returned to normal, which would compromise the reliability of the machine. In this paper a method, employing finite element analysis, is established to calculate the saturated reactances of synchronous machines under steady state operation
The Experience of Discursive Problematization of the Axiomatics of Revolution (K.S. Aksakov)
No full textIntroduction. This article discusses the ideas about the revolution, the Russian people and the state in the works of Konstantin Sergeevich Aksakov. K.S. Aksakov was a well-known Russian publicist, literary critic, poet and one of the main ideologists of Slavophilism. Over the years, many researchers of Russian philosophy and history have shown interest in his legacy, noting his originality and incredible love for Russia. The purpose of this article is to analyze and highlight the views of Konstantin Aksakov on the revolution - as a reflection on the events that took place in Europe and the Russian Empire during his life and work.Methodology and sources. The results of the study were based on the textual and conceptual analysis of the works of K.S. Aksakov. The main sources were journalistic notes, essays and letters.Results and discussion. Based on the analysis of historical and philosophical sources, the author of the article comes to the conclusion that for a comprehensive analysis and complete understanding of the idea of revolution in the works of K.S. Aksakov, it is necessary to closely study the key concepts of his philosophical views on Russia, the Russian people, the state and their relationship. Conclusion. For K.S. Aksakov's revolution is an exclusively Western phenomenon. The very idea of revolution is extraneous to the Russian people, since the Russian people themselves chose the state for themselves and entered into an equal alliance with it, seeking to protect themselves from any state activity in order to stay in the process of moral and spiritual improvement
Rethinking identity through Hindu spirituality in K.S Maniam's novels
No full textIn one of his essays, K.S Maniam, a Malaysian Literature in English author states that
his literary works “attempt to bring the precision of the English language to the
versatility and depth of Hindu mythology and spirituality” (“Fiction into Fact” 264).
Despite his assertion, the role of Hindu spirituality in his works especially in relation to
the Malaysian Indian identity construction remains little studied. Past studies tend to
approach identity in Maniam’s works using the post-colonial theory and focus mainly
on the politics of identity construction. Hitherto, the discussion of identity in Maniam’s
works is limited to the political and sociological realms. Therefore, my thesis attempts
to go beyond these realms by suggesting an alternative discourse of identity through
spirituality. My central argument is that spirituality plays a significant role in identity
construction in K.S Maniam’s novels. To address this, I employ Advaita Vedanta, an
Indian philosophy as a theoretical framework in order to highlight an alternative
rendering of identity in Maniam’s novels. Advaita Vedanta’s conception of identity
rests on monistic and undifferentiated whole called Atman (True Self) which can only
be achieved when a person transcends subject-object dichotomy. Advaita Vedanta’s
accentuation of “non-duality” is revolutionary as it restructures the concepts relevant to
identity such as one’s sense of selfhood, one’s relationship with the world, and one’s
perception and experience of reality. I analyse all of Maniam’s novels which are The
Return (1981), In a Far Country (1993), and Between Lives (2003) and show how his
works reflect the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta. Maniam incorporates this Indian
philosophy into his works by means of literary motifs such as self-reflexivity, rites-ofpassages,
rituals, disruptions of temporal/spatial linearity, and mystical experiences.
These motifs highlight how spirituality informs identity construction in Maniam’s
novels. My thesis shows that spirituality in KS Maniam’s novels is transformative in
three ways. Firstly, spirituality revolutionizes the way the characters perceive and
comprehend the notion of “self” and “reality”. Secondly, spirituality depathologizes the
characters’ existential crises. And thirdly, spirituality renews human relations as it
emphasizes the importance of upholding moral and ethical duties, compassion, and
empathy. To conclude this study, I reiterate that spirituality provides a more
paradigmatic discourse of identity and at the same time allows K.S Maniam to
articulate his creative and intellectual voice as a Malaysian Indian author

‘The physics you buy in supermarkets’: writing science for the general public : the case of Stephen Hawkings
No full textFollowing the fall of the great ideologies that informed the 19th and 20th century, science took their place in people’s imagery. In the same period, science and its corollary practical application – technology – underwent unprecedented developments, culminating in the rapid and ground-breaking advances of the past half century, with the notable prominence of the internet and all web-related technology. The general public can enjoy all the applied benefits of technology but not the research behind or beyond it: science has become a new religion, scientists a new caste. What happens when one of the caste opens up to the public?
Between 1988 and 2010, the renowned British physicist Stephen Hawking wrote five popular science books aimed at bringing physics closer to a wider audience than the mere academia. The operation proved very successful – with his best-seller alone (A brief history of time, 1988) reported to have sold over 10 million copies (Paris 2007) – and made him into an acclaimed popular author.
This study will consider Hawking’s books especially written for popularizing purposes, presenting reflections on the relationship between ESP, popularization and translation, and focusing in particular on Hawking’s first such work, A Brief History of Time, which was made into an even more popular adaptation titled A Briefer History of Time (2005) and translated, in both its versions, into Italian. The aim of the paper will be to detail how the subject has been adapted and transferred from a high into a popular (writing) and an even more popular (re-writing) level, and then into another language (translation), what relationship there is between these passages, and how Hawking’s book has affected the recent trend towards science popularization. This will be done by comparing the works against the general features of English for Scientific/Academic Purposes, to single out their variation from – or conformity to – the established norms of this specialized language, providing a textual analysis and highlighting relevant lexical and syntactic phenomena. An interpretation of such phenomena will be proposed according to Critical Discourse Analysis methodology, i.e. considering language in light of the many social, cultural and economic variables informing this type of communication
