“This England”: Re-Visiting Shakespearean Landscapes and Mediascapes in John Akomfrah’s The Nine Muses (2010)

2017

The paper will offer a reading of John Akomfrah’s The Nine Muses (2010), a 90-minute experimental feature film that has been defined as “one of the most vital and original artistic responses to the subject of immigration that British cinema has ever produced” (Mitchell). It will focus on the multifarious ways in which the film makes the “canonical” literary material that it incorporates, including Shakespeare, interact with rarely seen archival material from the BBC regarding the experience of Caribbean and South Asian immigrants in 1950s and 1960s Britain. It will argue that through this interaction the familiarity of Western “canonical” literature re-presents itself as an uncanny landscap…

There’s a Double Tongue in Cheek: On the Un(Translatability) of Shakespeare’s Bawdy Puns into Romanian

2017

AbstractThe translatability of William Shakespeare’s titillating puns has been a topic of recurrent debate in the field of translation studies, with some scholars arguing that they are untranslatable and others maintaining that such an endeavour implies a divorce from formal equivalence. Romanian translators have not troubled themselves with settling this dispute, focusing instead on recreating them as bawdily and punningly as possible in their first language. At least, this is the conclusion to which George Volceanov has come after analysing a sample of Shakespearean ribald puns and their Romanian equivalents. By drawing parallels between such instances of the Bard’s rhetoric and three of …

Variational methods for the steady state response of elastic–plastic solids subjected to cyclic loads

2003

Abstract Solids (or structures) of elastic–plastic internal variable material models and subjected to cyclic loads are considered. A minimum net resistant power theorem, direct consequence of the classical maximum intrinsic dissipation theorem of plasticity theory, is envisioned which describes the material behavior by determining the plastic flow mechanism (if any) corresponding to a given stress/hardening state. A maximum principle is provided which characterizes the optimal initial stress/hardening state of a cyclically loaded structure as the one such that the plastic strain and kinematic internal variable increments produced over a cycle are kinematically admissible. A steady cycle min…

Aeromonas hydrophila subsp. dhakensis isolated from feces, water and fish in Mediterranean Spain.

2012

Eight Aeromonas hydrophila-like arabinose-negative isolates from diverse sources (i.e., river freshwater, cooling-system water pond, diseased wild European eels, and human stools) sampled in Valencia (Spain) during 2004-2005, were characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and extensive biochemical testing along with reference strains of most Aeromonas species. These isolates and all reference strains of A. hydrophila subsp. dhakensis and A. aquariorum showed a 16S rRNA sequence similarity of 99.8-100%, and they all shared an identical phenotype. This matched exactly with that of A. hydrophila subsp. dhakensis since all strains displayed positive responses to the Voges-Prokauer test and to t…

Kibernoziegumi no kriminoloģijas skatpunkta

2017

Darbā ir noskaidrots, kas ir kibernoziegums un cik bīstams tas ir ikvienam pasaules iedzīvotājam. Autors ir konstatējis, ka personas, kas nodarbojas ar kibernoziedzību, sāk savu darbību jau no maza vecuma. Personas sāk savu noziedzīgo ceļu jau no padsmit gadu vecuma un, ja agrāk bija jāuzmanās no profesionāļiem, kas ir ieguvuši speciālās zināšanas skolā un universitātē, tad tagad bērniem, kas iespējams pat vēl nevar tikt sodīts, jo nav sasnieguši 14.gadu vecumu. Pietiek ar piekļuvi internetam, lai pašmācības ceļā apgūtu noziedzīgās darbības pamatus un ar mazu palīdzību klātienē vai on-line, kļūtu par profesionālu kibernoziedznieku vēl pat nesasniedzot kriminālatbildības vecumu. Darbā ir vei…

Bounding principles for elastic-plastic-creeping solids loaded below and above the shakedown limit

1982

Solids of elastic-perfectly plastic creeping material subjected to variable loads are considered within the infinitesimal displacement framework and a bounding principle is presented which holds below and above the shakedown limit. Through the choice of some free parameters, this principle generates a number of deformation bounds with practical meanings, some of wich coincide with known results for creeping and noncreeping material, while others constitute new results or generalizations of known results. The topic will be further studied in a subsequent paper [35].

Dynamic shakedown of structures with variable appended masses and subjected to repeated excitations

1996

Elastic shakedown for discrete, or finite-element discretized, structures subjected to combinations of static and time-variable loads is addressed in the hypothesis of elastic-perfectly plastic material behavior. The static load is conceived as the weight of an additional mass appended to the structure, whereas the time-variable load is conceived as an unknown sequence of excitations belonging to a specified domain, with intervals between subsequent excitations during which the structure is considered as being motionless. It is shown that, in the plane of the static and time-variable load parameters, the structure's dynamic shakedown domain is nonconvex and that its boundary curve generally…

An extended shakedown theory for elastic-plastic-damage material models

1996

Internal variable elastic-plastic-damage, or elastic-damage, material models endowed with free energy are considered. Referring to a structure of such a material subjected to loads varying inside a given domain, the classical notion of (elastic) shakedown is widened to signify that the structure eventually responds to the loads in an elastic manner after certain (finite) amounts of plastic strain and/or damage have been produced. For structures fulfilling an ad-hoc D-stability requisite, an extended shakedown theorem is presented as a generalization of the classical Melan theorem to nonlinear elasticity and damage - besides nonlinear hardening. For common materials exhibiting linear elastic…
