Childhood in the novels Jaz sam by Sarival Sosič and Tišine by Karla Suarez
No full textDiplomsko delo temelji na romanih Jaz sam slovenskega pisatelja Sarivala Sosiča in Tišine kubanske pisateljice Karle Suarez. Analizira motiv otroštva kot dobe, kjer se postavljajo temelji za človekovo življenje in kjer pomembno vlogo igra družina s svojim odnosom do otroka in tudi odnosom do ostalih. Romana odpirata teme tišine, samote, iskanja lastnega jaza in spominov na otroštvo, ki omogočajo medgeneracijsko pripovedovanje o poreklu družine.This diploma thesis is based on the novels Jaz sam by the Slovenian writer Sarival Sosič and Silencios by the Cuban author Karla Suarez. Throughout the diploma, the motif of childhood is analysed as an age where the foundations for human life are established and where family plays an important role with its attitude towards the child and others. Both novels discuss themes such as silence, loneliness, the search of oneself and the memories of childhood, which enable the intergenerational narration of the family’s origins

Staging race: Blackness, performance, and citizenship in Afro-Latin American writers (1940-2000)
No full textThis dissertation project investigates the body as a medium of racial representation by looking at five Afro-Latin American artists in Brazil, Peru, and Colombia between 1940-2000. In conversation with performance studies and critical race studies, my project analyzes the emergence of an Afro-Latin American public sphere through distinct yet interconnected forms of art and activism. In particular, my study focuses on Abdias do Nascimento’s experimental theater, Nicomedes Santa Cruz’s radio broadcasting, Victoria Santa Cruz’s choreographies, Delia Zapata Olivella’s dance manuals, and Manuel Zapata Olivella’s street theater. In doing so, my research underlines how their respective performances created a vocabulary to enunciate everyday experiences of racism and discrimination in the region. I argue these artists used performances to reinvent discourses on blackness, cultural memory, and the meaning of democracy in multiracial societies.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2022-05-01The student, Juan Suarez Ontaneda, accepted the attached license on 2020-04-29 at 13:20.The student, Juan Suarez Ontaneda, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2020-04-29 at 13:32.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2020-05-01 at 16:32.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15113 on 2020-08-25 at 17:42:07Made available in DSpace on 2020-08-27T00:50:09Z (GMT).

"Edicion Critica Del ""pusilipo"" De Cristobal Suarez De Figueroa"
No full textThe Pusilipo by Cristobal Suarez de Figueroa had never been studied, nor edited critically, since it was published in 1629.The purpose of this dissertation is to offer my own edition of the Pusilipo, which is the first modern attempt to edit the text in a modern form. Completing the edition is the critical apparatus, consisting of thorough textual and explanatory notes, and a up to date bibliography.To obtain this result the dissertation is in two parts. Part one consists of an introduction with an overview of the author's life and works, followed by a discussion of the style, a description of the environment in which he wrote, a synopsis of the subject, a bibliography about the author and a general bibliography. Part two is a critical edition of the Pusilipo and includes textual and explanatory footnotes.Thus, my dissertation seeks to fill a gap in the Spanish Golden Age Literature, and restore the figure of the author, neglected for so many years, to his rightful place.Made available in DSpace on 2015-05-13T15:45:49Z (GMT).

Rotor on cone-shaped active magnetic bearings with three-phases power drivers
No full textThis paper presents the modeling, the control design and the experimental results obtained on a rotor suspended by means of cone-shaped active magnetic bearings controlled by an innovative three-phases drive technique. The machine reproduces a turbo-compressor group of a conditioning unit used in high performance jet aircrafts. The conical geometry of magnetic bearings allows to perform a compact design of actuation stage which is composed of only four pairs of electromagnets instead of five of conventional cylindrical solution, resulting of great interest for the application in small machines. The modeling phases of the system are illustrated along with the drive technique and control design procedure. The mechanical subsystem has been reproduced starting from the finite element (FE) model, reduced to its first bending modes. The electromechanical interaction has been modeled considering each electromagnet as a two-port element (electrical and mechanical) exerting a force expressed as function of displacement and current in equations linearized around the working point. The control design takes into account the axial and radial coupled actions of the actuators and performs a SISO decentralized technique with five PID filters. The overall system results to be compact in the actuation subsystem as well as in the power divers equipment, being this performed with an innovative technique based on a three-phases configuration to drive a couple of electromagnets instead of standard H-bridge configuration. The control and drive schemes are presented and the reference generation for power drivers switches is illustrated in details. This approach allows to save 25% of power electronics components and reduce losses on the switches although the design phases result quite more complex than classical solutions. The paper concludes on the exposition of experimental results aiming to validate and prove the correctness of drive technique and control design approache
Turbomolecular pumps on conical active magnetic bearings
No full textThe adoption of magnetic levitation is experiencing a steady growth in the vacuum industry and, in particular, in turbomolecular pumps. Nowadays, the most common solutions for pumps of small and medium pumping capacity are based on hybrid architectures where passive magnetic bearings are combined to ceramic ball bearings. By converse, fully active magnetic suspensions with cylindrical configuration represent the standard for medium to high pumping rate machines. Although simple, the cylindrical configuration is prone to drawbacks related in particular to the strains growing in the disc of the axial actuator that motivate the investigation of alternative architectures. As shown in previous literature, the use of conical configuration, besides compacting driving electronics, seems to be promising considering that the control of the radial and axial degree of freedom is performed simultaneously by the same devices acting in two actuation planes.This paper describes the development and the experimental characterization of a turbomolecular pump supported by conical active magnetic bearings. The control design is based on a SISO decentralized technique with position and control embedded loops. A rotor centering technique based on the characterization of the current loops is exposed. The external position loop is tuned by measuring relevant transfer functions to refine the controller and allow a safe critical speed crossing. The power actuation of the eight electromagnets is performed with a three-phase configuration drive technique instead of standard H-bridges to minimize the number of power switches. Experimental results along with numerical computations obtained with simulation models are reported as proof of the validity of the modeling approach and of the conical architecture effectiveness
Diagrid Façade Design for Public Pool Building Using Differential Evolution
No full textThis paper discusses a set of façade design alternatives for form-finding problem focusing on conceptual phase. In this respect, the aim of the research is to propose a multi-objective optimization approach for a façade design of public pool building. We present a set of solution belonging to Self-adaptive Multi-objective Ensemble Differential Evolution (JE_DEMO) and Self-adaptive Multi-Objective Differential Evolution (JDEMO) algorithm. We focus on maximization of daylight performance and minimization of structural displacement. Based on results, two algorithms presented competitive results. Contributions are presented based on objectives functions as new trade-offs and proposed JE_DEMO algorithm for design problems.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Design Informatic
