[Electronic power sources: some actual cases [semiconductor devices]]
No full textThe characteristics of materials are affected by irradiation and this has been studied by the author in connection with its influence on the performance of several types of electronic devices, including transistors, diodes, thyristors and triacs. Special mention is made of the neutronic (n, gamma ) reaction on silicon-30. Technical parameters studied and plotted include current densities as a function of voltage, frequency, temperature, etc. A short note is given of developments in light amplified transistors.Francai

Complicating the Civil War Narrative: The Lincoln Lyceum Lecture
Get PDFOn October 3rd, the 2018 Lincoln Prize-winning author and historian, Edward Ayers, gave a talk on his most recent book, The Thin Light of Freedom: The Civil War and Emancipation in the Heart of America. Ayers began the process of writing this book in 1991 while driving through the Shenandoah Valley and wondering how places so naturally beautiful could go to war with each other so quickly. In his book, he attempts to answer that question by looking at how the Civil War was experienced on the ground by normal, everyday people. He does this by following two communities from 1863 to the immediate post-war years: Augusta County, VA and Franklin County, PA. He began following these two counties in his previous book, In the Presence of Mine Enemies, and The Thin Light of Freedom serves as a follow-up to that book. [excerpt
The hybrid poems of Smith and Wordsworth : questions and disputes
No full textThis essay argues that in titling their debut collections with the hybrid forms of the “elegiac sonnet” and the “lyrical ballad,” Charlotte Smith and William Wordsworth (the majority author of the volume he shared with S. T. Coleridge) participate in the late‐eighteenth‐century debate on what makes poetry. Through their collections they engage in conversation with theorists like Hugh Blair and John Newbery, and they use their poetry to advance a new idea: that by merging forms poetry itself evolves. Romantic diversity thus develops from their poetic responses to the efforts of Blair and Newbery to establish fixed and rigid boundaries to poetic form
Writers of the Harlem Renaissance at Odds: Wright and Hurston\u27s Different Approaches
Get PDFThis thesis speaks about “The Harlem Renaissance”, which is generally believed to have begun in the 1920’s, ending in the late 1930’s just before the Great Depression. During the Harlem Renaissance black people began to express themselves as a distinct culture. This expression took on many different forms; visual arts, music, literature, and theater. There were two general phases of the Harlem Renaissance. The first phase, 1921-1924, was the “Propaganda phase…to reveal the humanity of—and, thereby, validate—the African-American race through the strength of its arts and letters” (West 202). Thus this early stage was to show that blacks were feeling beings, like whites, and they showed this through their artistic abilities. The second phase, 1924-1931, “Connected Harlem writers to white intelligentsia with its access to established publishing companies” (West 202). The key authors of this time were Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright here. Hurston produced a plethora of literary works in her lifetime, including “essays, folklore, short stories, novels, plays, articles on anthropology and autobiography”. Author of the theses makes an analysis of Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God. Her focus isn’t on attaining equality, it is on bettering the arts so that there can be some strong black figures in American society. The second topic of this novel is racism, it’s used very subtly. Instead woven inconspicuously into certain points in the story to help the reader understand why some of the events are unfolding the way they are. The other author, Richard Wright became the most famous African-American writer during the Harlem Renaissance. From his works chose the author of the thesis an analysis of his novel Native Son. Wright is taking the ideas of the Harlem Renaissance one step further by introducing his political and social ideals to his readers. Major themes of Native Son are racism and communism. Both writers had different purposes in writing, despite the fact that they both are seeking respect for black people. Due to these differences the novels are different in terms of characterization, themes and writing style. Though Wright and Hurston have such vastly different views and such vastly different novels and writing styles, they are still working towards a similar goal: to promote and bring understanding to black culture
