Blind injustice : Jesus' prophetic warning against unjust judging (Matt 7:1-5)
No full textThis dissertation seeks to provide a plausible alternative to the consensus interpretation of Jesus' "do not judge" teaching in Matt 7:1-5. While the overwhelming majority of recent interpreters understand "do not judge" (7:1) and its concurrent sayings such as "take the log out of your own eye" (7:5) to promote a non-judgmental attitude, this monograph seeks to situate this block of teaching within a Jewish second-Temple judicial setting. To this end, an overview of the judicial system during the second Temple era is provided, after which it is argued that Matt 7:1-5 is the Matthean Jesus' halakhic, midrashic comment upon the laws for just legal judging in Lev 19:15-18, 35-36 by which he prophetically criticizes unjust legal judging. Jesus' brother James takes up this teaching in Jas 2:1-13, using it to exhort Jewish Christian leaders who judge cases within Diaspora synagogues/churches. Such an alternative interpretation of Jesus' "do not judge" teaching in Matt 7:1-5 matches well other passages in Matthew which likewise speak of judicial, brotherly conflict such as 5:21-26 and 18:15-35. Some early Christian writers who quote or allude to Matt 7:1-5 reflect a judicial understanding of these verses as well, often relating Matt 7:1-5 to Lev 19:15-18, 35-36 and/or drawing parallels between Matt 7:1-5 and one or more of the NT judicial texts which, this thesis argues, is related to it (Matt 5:21-26, 18:15-35; Jas 2:1-13)
Speech Acts: Richard Grayson and Matt Mullican
No full textSpeech Acts: Richard Grayson and Matt Mullican illuminates the video-based practices of these two internationally acclaimed artists, who use the format of the monologue to construct and narrate hypothetical worlds. British artist Richard Grayson imbues vernacular culture with a sense of classicism, extracting layers of meaning from an array of subject matter, including scientific explanations, flash-mob videos, dinner party conversations and purposefully bad jokes. By contrast, American artist Matt Mullican examines the circularities of language, conducting performances under hypnosis to vacillate between primal and public speech. Who is it we are watching as Mullican performs in an hypnotic state? How do we interrogate and categorise what is being created? The book includes video excerpts of Mullican’s first ever performance under hypnosis in Australia (staged in collaboration with Sydney’s National Art School at the iconic Cell Block Theatre, a former nineteenth-century women’s prison) and a selection of Grayson’s scripted compositions, which combine political acuity with dry wit. Author Wes Hill, having curated Grayson and Mullican in a 2015 exhibition at UTS Gallery, unpacks them further in a fascinating essay on both artists, examining their obsessions with language, performance and the nature of interpretation, which arise in their works to engage and sometimes unsettle viewers
Guided ultrasonic waves for the inspection of structural components
No full textThis paper describes some recent advancements of researchers at the University of California, San Diego and University of Bologna, Italy, in the use of ultrasonic guided waves for structural health monitoring. Two applications are presented: 1) inspection of composite joints in aerospace structures and 2) detection of transverse defects in railroad tracks.
Composite to composite joints representative of a wing skin to spar bond in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is investigated. The assessment of bond state is based on monitoring the strength of transmission through the joints of selected guided modes. Numerical prediction of the propagation phenomena is obtained by a Semi analytical finite element approach (SAFE) [1]. Experimentally, small PZT disks and macro fibre composite (MFC) transducers [2] are used to excite and detect symmetric guided modes. Numerical and experimental results show that defected bonds result in increased transmission strength. The second application is the development of an inspection system for rails devoted to the detection of transverse-type defects which are among the most dangerous and costly causes of rail accidents [3]. The inspection scheme is based on ultrasonic guided waves that are generated by a pulsed laser and are detected by a pair of air-coupled sensors positioned as far away as 3 inches from the top of railhead [4]. The raw ultrasonic signals are processed by the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) to perform de-noise filtering and to provide robust information on an eventual defect.

Mapping the circumnuclear matter of NGC 1068 in X-rays
No full textAn energy-dependent variation of the X-ray emission from the archetypical "Compton-thick" Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 has been observed between two BeppoSAX observations, performed one year apart. This variation is highest in the 3-10 keV band and declines towards lower and higher energies. The most straightforward explanation is a flattening of the primary nuclear continuum, which is scattered along our line of sight by an electron plasma. If this is indeed the case, this evidence allows us to obtain the first direct estimate of the location of the scattering medium, at similar to 1 pc from the nucleus. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
