The Spectre and Spectacle of Cannibalism in Consumerist Society
Attempting to explain the insistence of the image of the cannibal in contemporary popular culture, the author presents cannibalism as a symbolic practice perfectly representative of a proliferation of the symbolic competition on the contemporary marketplace and of other forms of ritualised interaction, where each individual represents a subjectivity that, by its nature, tends toward its own limitless expansion through the absorption of difference and exteriority. The first section of the paper explores the idea and nature of cannibalism. and various ways in which it translates into the structure of consumerist society. The second section looks at recent examples from popular entertainment in which depictions of cannibalism reveal cannibalistic mechanisms at work in commodity production and consumption.Lance Rhoades

However, previous studies examining SA context have produced mixed results regarding its impact on wellness, particularly when examining the effect of survivor-perpetrator relationships and perpetrator sex. Using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS), this study examined the effect of perpetrator relationships (former partner, current partner, stranger, relative, friend) and SA characteristics (SA type, survivor sex, perpetrator sex) on general health (GH), mental health (MH), physical health (PH), health-related quality of life (HRQL), and missed days of work (MDW) among sexual assault survivors (N =1,477). A path analysis revealed several direct and indirect pathways. More severe SA was directly and indirectly associated with worse GH, MH, PH, and MDW. Male perpetrator sex resulted in worse MH and PH (direct effect) and worse HRQL (indirect effect) while female perpetrator sex was directly associated with worse HRQL. Being a male survivor was indirectly associated with worse HRQL and MDW. Results of this study suggest that survivor-perpetrator relationships and SA characteristics matter for understanding survivor’s wellness. Future studies and interventions that acknowledge SA context may be useful for bolstering survivor recovery and effective treatment planning

A technique to calibrate nonlinear car-following laws for traffic oscillation estimation

The total cost of transportation congestion in the United States in 2011 was estimated at 121 billion dollars. Congested traffic rarely flows smoothly; instead, traffic goes through cyclical slow and fast movements that result in what is commonly known as traffic oscillations. There are numerous negative effects associated with these oscillations, including extra fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, transportation professionals would like to find a way to reduce traffic oscillations.
Hence, researchers have developed numerous models to help reproduce traffic oscillations, in the hopes of better understanding how oscillations form and propagate through a platoon of vehicles. Many simulation and experimental studies have been performed to study oscillations, but as data collection technologies have improved, they have provided the opportunity to study oscillations as they occur in the real world. By calibrating the parameters of the theoretical models with empirical data, it is possible to more accurately reproduce driver behavior in oscillations and consequently to evaluate the impacts of various potential traffic control strategies on traffic oscillations.
This thesis proposes a calibration technique that is useful in calibrating nonlinear car-following laws to accurately model traffic oscillations from field trajectory data in both the time domain and the frequency domain. The base of the technique is maximum likelihood estimation, as calculated using the speed-spacing diagram. Time-domain and frequency-domain feedback is then added to this base to achieve accuracy in both domains. Numerical examples using NGSIM data (Next Generation SIMulation) are provided to verify the proposed method. Further analysis of the model parameters and potential traffic control strategies to mitigate the traffic oscillation problem are then discussed.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I only', the embargo will last until 2017-05-01The student, Christine Rhoades, accepted the attached license on 2015-04-27 at 13:36.The student, Christine Rhoades, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2015-04-27 at 13:43.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2015-04-27 at 15:10.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #8121 on 2015-07-22 at 14:18:55Made available in DSpace on 2015-07-22T22:33:58Z (GMT).
