‘Revoljucija že byla prekrasna, stichijna'. Noč' di Nikolaj Nikitin
No full textDespite being one of the lesser known Serapion Brothers, Nikolaj Nikitin had a brilliant early career. He was acclaimed by M. Gorkij and the critic A. Voronskij as a very promising writer, able to convey the spirit of the post-revolutionary period, also in light of his personal experience as a volunteer in the Red Army. The frst phase of his literary production dates from 1922 to 1924. In the texts of this period the thematic focus is mainly on the experience of the revolution, while, stylistically, they are characterized by a highly evocative and musical language that reveals the infuence of A. Belyj's Simfonii. The article focuses on the long story (povest') Not", edited and redacted three times during 1923, more than any of Nikitin's novels. Being the most redacted and revised piece of Nikitin's long fction, the povest' ofers the possibility to investigate the relationship between the author and Voronskij who, more than anyone else, had a great impact on the young writer. The povest' focuses on the battle between two trains, one white (called "L.G. Kornilov") and one red (the "N. 14-7, Béla Kun"). In the frst edition, the result of the battle is not conveyed to the reader; the only outcome is destruction and pain, and this caused a very negative and passionate reaction from critics and readers. The comparison of the three redactions of the povest' shows the direction of the revisions, which started from a merely stylistic point of view and then moved to a more ideological layer, clarifying the result of the battle (now undoubtedly assigned to the Red Army) and highlighting the stichijnyj but deeply legitimate character of the Revolution itself. Starting from 1924, Nikitin will no longer participate in the meetings of the Serapion Brothers, and his poetics and chosen topics will change as well, moving in the stylistic and ideological direction that will be formalized in 1934 under the name of Socialist Realism
Data for: Heat capacities and thermal diffusivities of some n-alkanoic acid methyl esters
No full textThe measured values of the thermal diffusivity for six n-alkanoic acid methyl esters are graphically compared with those calculated using the thermal conductivities measured by three authors
Numerical investigation of localized exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in pipe flow
No full textThe edge state solution in pipe flow at Re=2200 is calculated numerically. The solution has the form of spatially localized puff-like structure drifting downstream. In the moving frame it is represented by a steady average flow and time-periodic pulsation flow. It is shown, that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability mechanism is not valid for pulsation generation in the edge state flow
Determination of the Mode of Radical Termination from Pulsed Laser Polymerization Experiments in the Presence of Retardation and Chain Transfer to Agent
No full textThe pulsed laser polymerization-high termination rate limit-size-exclusion chromatography (PLP-HTRL-SEC) technique is used to estimate the mode of termination () for n-butyl methacrylate (n-BMA) polymerization at 30 degrees C. It is found that molecular mass distributions measured in these experiments are influenced by an unknown side reaction such as retardation or chain transfer that results in a marked decrease of intensity of the PLP peak. A new approach is developed to evaluate , with numerical experiments used to demonstrate the robustness of the methodology in the presence of retardation or chain transfer to agent. Application to the experimental n-BMA polymerization at 30 degrees C leads to an estimate for of 0.60 +/- 0.03
Free-radical propagation rate coefficients via n-pulse periodic polymerization
No full textAspects of applying n-pulse periodic initiation in pulsed laser polymerization/size exclusion chromatography (PLP/SEC) experiments are studied via simulation of molecular weight distributions (MWDs). IN n-pulse periodic PLP/SEC, sequences of n laser pulses at successive time intervals Deltat(1), up to Deltat(n) are periodically applied. With the dark time intervals being suitably chosen, n-modal MWDs with n well separated peaks occur. The n-pulse periodic PLP/SEC method has the potential for providing accurate propagation rate coefficients, k(p). Among several measures for k(p), the differences in molecular weights at the MWD peak positions yield the best estimate of k(p) under conditions for medium and high pulse laser-induced free-radical concentration. Deducting k(p) from n dark time intervals (corresponding to n regions of free-radical chain length) within one experiment at otherwise identical PLP/SEC conditions allows addressing in more detail a potential chain-length dependence of k(p). Simulations are compared with experimental data for 2-pulse periodic polymerization of methylmethacrylate
Images of the lungs of Syrian hamsters and Table of the body weight raw data
No full textImages of the lungs of Syrian hamsters on the day 3 and on the day 6 after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Body weight of the animals. Animals were weighed on day 0 (before the experiment), then on days 6, 13, 20, 27, 34 and 41 of the experiment. When weighing, four animals were randomly selected from each group to determine body weight (five weightings per group). The data of each weighting and an average body weight of one animal (mean±SD) are represented for each group
Statistical theory for the reaction N + OH → NO + H: thermal low-temperature rate constants
No full textThe reaction N + OH → NO + H involves the intermediate formation of NOH adducts which in part rearrange to HNO conformers. A statistical treatment of the process is developed in which an initial adiabatic channel capture of the reactants is accompanied by partial primary redissociation of the N⋯OH collision pairs. A criterion for the extent of this primary redissociation in competition to the formation of randomized, long-lived, complex of NOH is proposed. The NOH adducts then may decompose to NO + H, rearrange in a unimolecular process to HNO, or undergo secondary redissociation back to the reactants N + OH, while HNO may also decompose to NO + H. As the reactants N(4S) + OH(2Π) have open electronic shells, non-Born–Oppenheimer effects have to be considered. Their influence on thermal rate constants of the reaction at low temperatures is illustrated and compared with such effects in other reactions such as C(3P) + OH(2Π)
«Mio padre è morto da un paio di settimane». Sull’Hamlet di Boris Nikitin
No full textIl saggio analizza l’Hamlet di Boris Nikitin con Julia*n Meding, ponendo al centro il
tema del lutto e la sua rappresentazione all’interno di una messa in crisi radicale del
genere ‘teatro documentario’. Nel contesto del reality turn, che ha visto una crescita
significativa negli ultimi vent’anni, soprattutto nel teatro di lingua tedesca, la scena
di Nikitin critica l’asimmetria di potere nel teatro documentario, proponendo un
formato artistico che de-naturalizza il ‘reale’ come un orizzonte continuamente in
divenire e frutto di costruzioni. Inaugura così una forma di ‘documentario queer’
che presenta ampie zone di prossimità con la «critical fabulation» proposta da
Saidiya Hartman. Il saggio propone di riconoscere nella fiction non un’antitesi
del reale, ma uno strumento attraverso il quale è possibile disarticolare le narrative
dominanti e inaugurare modalità alternative di sapere e di analisi, per mettere a
critica il confine tra storia e immaginazione e lavorare sulla possibilità di ricostruire
le scene della soggezione senza replicare la grammatica della violenza
Basni Esopa (Russian)
No full textThe seller reports correctly that this volume contains fifty-two fables and eight drawings on its 88 pages. As it is unusual to find Aesop in France because of La Fontaine, so it is unusual, I think, to find Aesop in Russia because of Krylov. The illustrations here are rather expectable. Maybe the most arresting is the silhouette illustration facing the title-page: does it depict Aesop taking the bread-basket that will soon be half-empty? There is an engaging illustration for Pravda on 47. The typeface throughout seems to be (small and large) capitals. Looking through this book makes me want to learn Russian!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)First editionI.N. Pozdnyako
