Handheld-Impedance-Measurement System with seven-decade capability and potentiostatic function
No full textThis paper describes design and test of a new impedance-measurement system for nonlinear devices that exhibits a seven-decade range and works down to a frequency of 0.01 Hz. The system is specifically designed for electrochemical measurements, but the proposed architecture can be employed in many other fields where flexible signal generation and analysis are required. The system employs an unconventional signal generator based on two pulsewidth modulation (PWM) oscillators and an autocalibration system that allows uncertainties of less than 3% to be obtained over a range of 1 kΩ to 100 GΩ. A synchronous demodulation processing allows the noise superimposed to the low-amplitude input signals to be made negligibl
Queering Our Education: A Call for LGBTQIA Guidelines
No full textThe purpose of this capstone thesis was to write a call-to-action manuscript that will be submitted for publication to the American Art Therapy Association Journal. The manuscript calls upon the American Art Therapy Association as the national organization of the profession to create LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual) guidelines for art therapy, including the importance of integrating LGBTQIA history in graduate school curricula. Reviewing recommendations from scholars in the counseling, psychology, and art therapy fields, as well as reviewing the LGBTQIA guidelines created for the counseling and psychology, this capstone also suggests ways in which LGBTQIA guidelines for art therapy that focus specifically on LGBTQIA culture and history can help to queer multicultural courses in graduate art therapy programs as well as assist professionals outside of the educational setting.M.A., Art Therapy and Counseling -- Drexel University, 201
Emma ve Sense and sensibility adlı romanlarda okuyucunun Jane Austen tarafından kontrolü
No full textThis thesis analyses techniques employed by Jane Austen in Emma and Sense & Sensibility to control the readers when they make judgements about characters and events.The thesis will argue that the point of view used in these two novels to present events and characters has great influence upon readers. In addition, the role of skilful use of irony by Austen, and witholding of information by characters and author in keeping readers alert will be analysed.Bu çalışma Emma ve Sense and Sensibility adlı romanlarda, Jane Austen’ın okuyucular karakterler ve olaylar hakkında karar verirken onları kontrol etmek için kullangığı teknikleri incelemektedir.İki romanda da olayları ve karakterleri sunmak için kullanılan bakış açısının okuyucular üzerindeki etkisi incelenecektir.Buna ek olarak, Austen tarafından ustaca kullanılan kinaye sanatının ve karakterler veya yazar tarafından bilginin saklı tutulmasının okuyucuyu dikkatli kılmadaki rolü incelenecektir.M.A. - Master of Art
Hebrew Divine Names into Latin and Italian, Shiv'ah Shemot and other Samples from Egidio da Viterbo’s Workshop
No full textThis article deals with evidence, texts, commentaries and notes from Egidio da Viterbo’s collection of Hebrew manuscripts and from his Latin autographic manuscripts that shedding light on Egidio’s devices and perspectives in approaching the Hebrew language and the Hebrew divine names. This evidence is found in translations, marginalia, and book notes which were penned by Egidio himself and by people who assisted him in his reading the Hebrew texts. After providing an insight into Egidio’s premises and aims in the study of Hebrew literature, based on his autographic comments, the first part of the essay focuses on a set of translations from Hebrew into the Italian vernacular prepared by Jewish scribes and scholars for Egidio. The translators’ techniques, methodology, and selection of kabbalistic, aggadic, and midrashic material is examined. Although this translation project is of crucial importance for the transmission of the mystical Jewish literature to the Christian world of the Renaissance, it has received almost no scholarly attention so far.
In the second part, this article takes into account a compilation (MS London, British Library, Add. 16390, vols. A–B) that includes, in its first volume, an anonymous glossary entitled Shivʿah Shemot (Seven Names), on the divine names occurring in the Bible, accompanied by masoretic explanation, and in its second volume, excerpts of a Jewish mystical text in vernacular translation entitled Raziel. They are both to be ascribed to Egidio’s workshop and to a collaboration with Elia Levita. The final part of this article concerns two autographic notebooks by Egidio (MSS Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Lat. 596–597), in which our author records and translates Hebrew roots and divine names that he collected during his reading of Hebrew exegetical and mystical works. The combined analysis of these various witnesses opens different viewpoints on the ongoing activities which Egidio promoted, supporting the spread of Hebrew and Jewish studies in Renaissance Rome. Moreover, it enlightens on some of the propaedeutic materials which contributed to Egidio’s key endeavor to attain a mastery of Kabbalah and to shape his own syncretic kabbalistic syste

Exposure-Tolerant Imaging Solution forCultural Heritage Monitoring
No full textThis paper describes a simple and cheap solution specifically designed for monitoring the degradation of thin coatings employed for metal protection. The proposed solution employs a commercial photocamera and a frequency-domain-based approach that is capable of highlighting the surface uniformity changes due to initial corrosion. Even though the proposed solution is specifically designed to monitor the long-time performance of protective coatings employed for the restoration of silver artifacts, it can be successfully used also for assessing the conservation state of other ancient metallic works of art. The proposed solution is made tolerant to exposure changes by using a procedure for sensor nonlinearity identification and correction, does not require a precise lighting control, and employs only free open-source software, so that its overall cost is very low and can be used also by not specifically trained operator
Jews and gender in British literature 1815-1865.
No full textPhDThis thesis examines the variety of relationships between Jews and gender in early
to mid-nineteenth century British literature, focussing particularly on representations
of and by Jewish women. It reconstructs the social, political and literary context in
which writers produced images and narratives about Jews, and considers to what
extent stereotypes were reproduced, appropriated, or challenged. In particular it
examines the ways in which questions of gender were linked to ideas about religious
or racial difference in the Victorian period.
The study situates literary representations of Jews within the context of
contemporary debates about the participation of the Jews in the life of the modern
state. It also investigates the ways in which these political debates were gendered,
looking in particular at the relationship between the cultural construction of
femininity and English national identity.
It first considers Victorian culture's obsession with Rebecca, the Jewess created in
Walter Scott's influential novel Ivanhoe (1819). It examines Rebecca's refusal to
convert to Christianity in the context of Scott's discussion of racial separatism and
modern national unity.
Evangelical writers like Annie Webb, Amelia Bristow and Mrs Brendlah were
prolific literary producers, and preoccupied with converting Jewish women.
Particularly during the 18'40s and 1850s, evangelical writing provided an important
forum for the construction and consolidation of women's national identity.
Grace Aguilar's writing was an attempt to understand Jewish identity within the
terms of Victorian domestic ideology. In contrast, Celia and Marion Moss, in their
historical romances, offered narratives of female heroism and national liberation,
drawing on the contemporary debate about slavery.
Benjamin Disraeli's construction of a "tough version of Jewish identity was a
response both to the contemporary stereotype of the feminised Jew and to the debate
about Jewish emancipation. It also drew on the virile ideology of the Young England
movement of the 1840s
