Silver lining
No full textSilver Lining looks at non-traditional research outputs, with specific focus on transference and the relational self. It follows parent Meredith through financial and emotional predicament and how she transfers emotional conflict to her son Lochie, climaxing in this incident in a slap. While Lochie does not exhibit the mode of transference where he in turn slaps his playmates, we see him mildly act up at the onset of the story when he answers Meredith back. True to basic motivations for attachment that encourage most children to love their parents (Berenson and Andersen 2006, p.1510), Lochie's affections toward his mother do not shift despite the slap. The story draws upon ethnographic research where, like Meredith, I—the author—share single parenthood to a young boy eager to discover the world. On rethinking ethnography, Conquergood says: ‘Ethnography's distinctive research method, participant-observation field-work, privileges the body as a site of knowing.' (1991) Approaching Silver Lining from the lens of a writer, I also found myself acting out roles as a performer and a researcher, a personal and impersonal embodiment. Drawing upon my own interaction with my child, it was easier to relay Lochie, to mentally experience the little boy and his relationship with his mother. This gave certain bias to the direction of the story, for example Meredith's remorse after the slap. This aftermath would be a natural occurrence to me had it happened in real life, a consequence that may not come natural to another writer without bold inherent ties as a carer. Such a writer may have chosen to explore a singular direction toward, maybe, escalation of child abuse. Writing Silver Lining brought along a cathartic effect, thanks to its ethnographic fashioning

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Influence of secondary lining thickness on mechanical behaviours of double-layer lining in large-diameter shield tunnels
No full textIn large-diameter shield tunnels, applying the double-layer lining structure can improve the load-bearing properties and maintain the stability of segmental lining. The secondary lining thickness is a key parameter in the design of a double lining structure, which is worth being explored. Based on an actual large-diameter shield tunnel, loading model tests are carried out to investigate the effect of the secondary lining thickness on the mechanical behaviours of the double lining structure. The test results show that within the range of secondary lining thicknesses discussed, the load-bearing limit of the double-layer lining increases with growing secondary lining thickness. As a passive support, the secondary lining acts as an auxiliary load-bearing structure by contacting the segment. And changes in secondary lining thickness have a significant effect on the contact state between the segment and secondary lining, with both the contact pressure level and the contact area between the two varying. For double-layer lining structures in large-diameter shield tunnels, it is proposed that the stiffness of the secondary lining needs to be matched to the stiffness of the segment, as this allows them to have a coordinated deformation and a good joint load-bearing effect

Stress-Strain Calculation Method of Composite Lining considering the Creep Characteristics of Tunnel Surrounding Rock
No full textTunnels are generally designed for a sustained usage of 80 to 100 years, during which the safety of tunnel structures must be guaranteed. A common supporting form utilized in contemporary tunnel engineering is composite lining. To derive applicable parameters of the supporting form and therefore ensure the long-term safety of the tunnel structure, it is imperative to determine the extra acting force exerted onto the composite lining by the creep of the rock surrounding the tunnel and to calculate the stress-strain characteristics of composite lining. In the current study, this paper proposes an approach termed surrounding reinforcement, which is based on the homogenization method. Specifically, this paper defined the bolt force as the internal force of the surrounding rock, analyzed their viscoelastic-plastic properties using the unified strength theory, and derived an equation for calculating the stress-strain relationship of the composite lining. To further validate the method in tunnel structures, this paper applied the derived equation to a representative instance. The results of this paper show that the initial support force has also increased during the creep process of the surrounding rock, indicating that engineers should pay close attention to the coordination between the strength of initial support and the secondary lining and thus ensure an optimal distribution of the pressure from the surrounding rock when designing composite lining tunnel within weak strata. This paper proposes that the initial support not only would guarantee the tunnel safety during the construction stage but also could cooperate with the secondary lining to brace the stress caused by the creep, ensuring that the supporting structure stays stable across the whole period of tunnel operation. This paper provides an alternative to previous methods that is more comprehensive, with simpler calculations, and more applicable to the composite lining supporting design within weak strata
