Life of Saint Gregory the Great Written in Four Books by John the Deacon: A Translation and Commentary of Book III
No full textThose interested in St. Gregory and his times find constant reference to the life of that pope written by John the Deacon. Because no translation of that work has hitherto appeared in English, a group of students, at the suggestion of Dr. L.V. Jacks, director of the classical department of The Creighton University, decided to undertake a translation and commentary on the Vita as their piece of research. |Since Books I and II of the Vita Sancti Gregorii Magni were already in process of translation when this work was begun, the original plan was to present a translation and commentary on Books III and IV. However, as the manuscript took shape, it ran into a forbidding length--some three hundred pages of translation alone; hence the first plan was abandoned and the scope of the work was limited to the third book alone. The text used was that of J.P. Migne, Volume LXXV of Patrologlae cursus completus Patrum Latinorum, which in the course of this study will be referred to as the Patrologia Latina. |Through the commentary the author has endeavored to supplement and clarify the text and to present various views on controversial questions. No textual, grammatical, or stylistic problems are handled, herein since these points have already been treated by competent scholars in this field. |This study has the secondary purpose of examining the historiography of John the Deacon in the Vita III. As background material a chapter containing the few known facts about this Roman deacon of the ninth century and his works has been included; also a chapter dealing with the early life and writings of St. Gregory because this material is not included in Book III.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio

Temperature-Based MPPT Feasibility for Satellite Solar Cells: An Experimental Analysis
No full textMaximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is commonly used to optimize the power output of solar arrays for LEO satellites. Traditional MPPT techniques such as Perturb & Observe often struggle when the satellite is rotating and the temperature and incident irradiance are rapidly changing. This scenario frequently occurs with miniaturized satellites, such as the recent Delfi-PQ satellite launched by TU Delft. One possible solution utilizes temperature measurements to perform MPPT, which is a more responsive architecture and better suited to rapidly changing environmental conditions. This project characterized the performance of a triple-junction solar cell at various temperatures and irradiance levels. The performance of a linear temperature-based MPPT formula was then estimated by comparing the experimentally collected solar cell data to formula predictions. This was an important first step in the possible implementation of temperature-based MPPT on future Delfi satellites.The author can be reached at [email protected] Engineerin
Power, value, and the individual exchange: towards an improved conceptualization of terrorist finance
No full textThis thesis finds that the term ‘terrorist financing’ is a misnomer in that much of the activity encompassed by that term involves neither terrorism nor money. Instead, terrorist financing more accurately refers either to the flow of economic and material value to ‘terrorist’ actors or specific material expressions of support to ‘terrorism,’ however that contested term is defined. This finding not only directly challenges the dominant ways terrorist finance is now conceptualized, but also provides the first unified coherent conceptual framework capable of supporting systematic analysis of the topic. This thesis arrives at this conclusion by first critically examining the various – and often contradictory or incoherent – normative, legal, and political contexts that dominate ‘orthodox’ thinking on terrorism and terrorist finance, and then relocating the financing of terrorism squarely in context of the everyday realities of how terrorism and terrorist actors interact with global and local political economies. This thesis goes beyond existing critical works on terrorist financing, and constructs the necessary conceptual foundation for a vastly more coherent, systematic, and ultimately useful understanding of the financial and economic dimensions of terrorism
We are mock'd with art: theatricalizing devices in performances of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente, Florianópolis, 2011This dissertation discusses the use of theatricalizing devices in four stage productions of William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. The selected performances were staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company (England, 1992), Théâtre de la Complicité (England, 1992), Folger Theatre (United States, 2009), and Companhia Atores de Laura (Brazil, 2004-2005). The discussion is structured following the notion of "performance text", proposed by Marco de Marinis (1993), which testifies to the importance of analyzing a performance in terms of its stage elements and also its contextual circumstances. Hence, the notion of "theatricalizing devices" is proposed in the present study as a tool to look at those devices employed on stage that can, simultaneously, comment on the theatrical medium and its conventions and help a production address themes and concerns related to the world outside the theater building. Additionally, the referred devices have to do with further fictionalizing the already fictional stage reality, without losing sight of the fact that those making and attending any given performance are inserted in an outside context.A presente tese discute o uso de recursos teatricalizantes em quatro produções teatrais de O Conto do Inverno, de William Shakespeare. As performances selecionadas foram produzidas pela Royal Shakespeare Company (Inglaterra, 1992), Théâtre de la Complicité (Inglaterra, 1992), Folger Theatre (Estados Unidos, 2009), e Companhia Atores de Laura (Brasil, 2004-2005). A discussão está estruturada seguindo a noção de "texto espetacular" proposta por Marco de Marinis (1993), a qual testemunha a favor da importância de se analisar uma performance em termos de seus elementos de palco e também de suas circunstâncias contextuais. Dessa forma, a noção de "recursos teatricalizantes" é proposta na presente tese como ferramenta para olhar aqueles recursos empregados no palco que podem, simultaneamente, comentar o meio teatral e suas convenções e ajudar uma produção a tratar temas e preocupações relacionados ao mundo existente para além do auditório do teatro. Além disso, os referidos recursos associam-se com ficcionalizar mais profundamente a realidade já fictícia do palco teatral, sem perder de vista o fato que os indivíduos que realizam e assistem a qualquer performance estão inseridos em um contexto exterior
An aerostable drag-sail device for the deorbit and disposal of sub-tonne, low earth orbit spacecraft
No full textThere is an increasing amount of debris in low Earth orbit arising from the
disintegration and collision of old spacecraft which have not been removed from
orbit. A ‘bolt-on’ deorbit device to be attached to new spacecraft is therefore
proposed, which would deploy an aerostable drag sail at end-of-life. This drag sail
would interact with the rarefied atmospheric gases and plasma present at altitudes of
up to 1,000 km and thus denude energy from the orbit, causing it to become lower
and lower until final re-entry of the host becomes inevitable. At this point the drag
sail would collapse and both the host and the deorbit device would be destroyed by
aerothermodynamic forces.
This work develops the deorbit device concept by demonstrating that aerostable drag
enhancement is an effective and competitive deorbit mechanism. This is done by:
• Calculating the aerodynamic, solar radiation pressure and gravitational
influences on the deployed drag sail and using them to model the
performance of the device.
• Using the results of that modelling to identify the optimum shape, size and
deployment conditions of the drag sail.
• Further calculating the structural strength required to resist the aerodynamic
loads until the desired collapse altitude.
• And finally by using that information to assemble a conceptual design which
demonstrates the practicability of the system
What is settler colonialism? An anthropological meditation on Frantz Fanon's "concerning violence"
No full textThere has been a tendency in anthropology to read Frantz Fanon referentially, reflectively, & phenomenologically. As a consequence, his analyses have been regarded as reductive & simplistic. Promoted here is a relational, reflexive, & historical reading of his essay, 'Concerning Violence,' that forms the basis for an alternative deconstructive & political critique to current anthropological studies of colonial discourses reliant on epistemologically based critiques. The intent is to consider some of the effects generated by the use of unexamined concepts & typologies. In particular, this deconstructive & political critique, in significant measure made possible by Fanon's oeuvre, is applied to the concept of 'settler colonialism' as used in the discipline over the last three decades via texts as diverse as those of Leo Kuper, David Prochaska, & Patrick Wolfe. 57 References.
