Characterization and structure in the development of Tudor comedy
No full textThe role of characterization in dramatic structure is assessed by theoretical criteria.
Characters who perform actions necessary for the completion of the narrative sequence are
said to be "bound" to the narrative; those without such obligations are "free". Characters
who maintain a single, constant meaning during the course of a play are said to be "static";
characters who change or develop into new roles are "dynamic". Horatian decorum
demanded that comic characters be static, and the characters of Plautine and Terentian
tradition were almost always bound to narrative intrigue. However, evaluations of six
Tudor comedies show an increasing use of non-classical characterization within the comic
form.
In the early comedies lohan lohan and Roister Doister all characters are bound and
static, yet the impetus to enlarge the role of characterization is evident. The characters of
lohan lohan are expanded from their French source, and Roister Doister includes
extraneous episodes in which Udall displays his braggart hero. Free characters abound in
Misogonus; as well the play brings dynamic characterization into the scope of comedy with
the conversion of its prodigal son.
Free characters offer new possibilities of non-narrative plotting. In comedies of the
1580s favourite traditional characters appear as diversions outside the action, and thematic
arrangements of characters inform the increasingly complex plots. Lyly stresses the
symbolic potential of characters in Endimion, whereas Greene uses dynamic
characterization to heighten the illusion of independent figures in Friar Bacon and Friar
Bungay. Love's Labour's Lost exposes the limitations of comic artifice by pulling the
characters between convention and individualization.
By the end of the sixteenth century free and dynamic characters had become
common, and characterization had established a sizable claim on the design of English
comedy. These developments set the English form apart from its neoclassical counterparts

Identification of patient profile for treatment
No full textThe WHO clinical definition of osteoporosis, based on a measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, has been used globally since the mid-1990s. However, although this definition identifies those at greatest individual risk of fracture, in the population overall a greater total number of fractures occur in individuals with BMD values above the osteoporosis threshold. The inclusion of clinical risk factors, with or without BMD, in fracture prediction algorithms can improve the identification of individuals at high fracture risk; thus a number of web-based tools have been developed, the most commonly used globally being FRAX?. In this review, we will discuss the epidemiology of osteoporosis, clinical risk factors for fragility fracture, and how this knowledge is being used to aid risk stratification. Importantly, research is on-going to demonstrate the clinical efficacy and costeffectiveness of such case-finding strategies

No full textFoolish Moon is a product design for Chinese young adults who come to big Chinese cities to fight for their dreams to help them to slow down, to think more, to be practical and patient under the influence of fast culture which makes people eager to quick success. It has two physical parts, a moon phase clock anda work journal book, and three functions: 1) a new time experience of slow, stable and circular; 2) to encourage people to write down their goals and plans; 3) to make time capsules to have stage reviews. This time experience can obscure the precise sense of time and ease the anxiety. Work journal and time capsule can help people to be more pragmatic, so that to make their career goals more feasible and practical.submittedVersio
We Reach the Moon. Title page inscribed by the author.
No full textOn 20 July 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to land on the moon. The achievement inspired a host of products and memorabilia. On display from the publishing collection of Seymour Lawrence is both the German and American editions of the children’s 1969 picture book Journey to the Moon by artist Erich Fuchs who depicts the eight-day voyage with cubist modernism. The author of We Reach the Moon was the New York Times science reporter, and he inscribed his paperback to Mississippi writer Willie Morris and family.https://egrove.olemiss.edu/space_exhibit_2020/1012/thumbnail.jp
On lunar collision orbits: New methodologies for Moon-to-Moon transfer design
No full textMany interplanetary missions massively leverage the lunar gravitational pull in the so-called low-energy regime to converge to their aim, saving consistent amount of fuel. Among these, two future Japanese spacecraft are expected to repeatedly encounter the Moon along their trajectories to either facilitate the escape from the Earth–Moon system or opportunely target a specific region in its neighbourhood. Although never actively employed for preliminary trajectory design, lunar collision orbits have shown a rich dynamical structure and an applicability for both medium- and low-energy regimes. These characteristics, together with their intrinsic nature of being close to trajectories experiencing lunar fly-by, have encouraged this research. In this work, lunar collision orbits are employed to delineate a method for obtaining ballistic transfers between two successive lunar encounters, briefly addressed as Moon-to-Moon. This study is first carried out with the assumptions of the autonomous Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem, subsequently extended to the nonautonomous Bi-circular Restricted Four-Body Problem, including the solar gravitational influence.Poincaré cuts are extensively used as a dimensionality reductant for lunar collision orbits: this allows to ascertain their similar behaviour with trajectories flybying the Moon, whose characteristics are partly foreseen by determining the associated intersection with the same cut. A patching is performed at the cut to obtain both single and multiple ballistic Moon-to-Moon transfers. The strict bond of lunar collision orbits with the invariant manifolds of simple periodic orbits about Lagrangian points is confirmed and exploited to design ballistic itineraries connecting highly elliptic orbits about the Earth to horizontal Lyapunov orbits of the Earth–Moon system, via a single Moon-to-Moon transfer. With the usage of the lunar collision orbits and the Poincaré cut, a simple optimization technique is implemented to retrieve a properly defined Moon-to-Moon transfer from a trajectory missing a second fly-by with the Moon. Including the presence of the Sun, a similar method for obtaining single and multiple Moon-to-Moon transfers is developed. A classification of lunar double-collision transfers is then performed within the same framework, highlighting their similarity with other studies in past literature, eventually leading to the construction of a database of Moon-to-Moon transfers. The latter, conceived as an improvement with respect to the former version by adding the lunar gravitational influence, shows its applicability in real preliminary trajectory design.Aerospace Engineerin
