Der übernatürliche Norden: Konturen eines Forschungsfeldes

In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten hat sich die Forschung verstärkt mit der kulturellen Bedeutung von »Nördlich-keit« auseinandergesetzt. Wie wurden der Norden und seine Bewohner/innen konstruiert, wahrgenommen und beschrieben? Welche Stereotypen und Symbole wurden dem Norden zugeschrieben – in verschiedenen histori-schen Epochen, von verschiedenen Akteuren und in unterschiedlichen Diskursgenres? Als Beitrag zu dieser Dis-kussion widmet sich der vorliegende Beitrag dem Motiv des »übernatürlichen Nordens« aus europäischer und nordamerikanischer Perspektive. Seit der Antike wurde der Norden mit Hexen und Zauberern, mythischen Wesen, metaphysischen Kräften und verschiedensten übernatürlichen Qualitäten assoziiert – ein Motivkomplex, der die Wahrnehmung des Nordens in der Populärkultur bis heute prägt. = During the last decades, scholars have devoted considerable attention to the cultural meaning of Northernness. How have the North and its inhabitants been imagined, constructed and described? Which stereotypes and symbolisms have been ascribed to the North in different historical periods, by different actors and in different discourse genres? As a contribution to this debate, the paper intends to explore the notion of the North as a realm of the supernatural, focussing on Europe and North America. Since antiquity, the North has been associated with sorcerous inhabitants, mythical beings, metaphysical forces and all kinds of supernatural qualities and occurrences – a motif that continues to influence popular representations of Northernness up to the present day

Orientation measurement based on magnetic inductance by the extended distributed multi-pole model

This paper presents a novel method to calculate magnetic inductance with a fast-computing magnetic field model referred to as the extended distributed multi-pole (eDMP) model. The concept of mutual inductance has been widely applied for position/orientation tracking systems and applications, yet it is still challenging due to the high demands in robust modeling and efficient computation in real-time applications. Recently, numerical methods have been utilized in design and analysis of magnetic fields, but this often requires heavy computation and its accuracy relies on geometric modeling and meshing that limit its usage. On the other hand, an analytical method provides simple and fast-computing solutions but is also flawed due to its difficulties in handling realistic and complex geometries such as complicated designs and boundary conditions, etc. In this paper, the extended distributed multi-pole model (eDMP) is developed to characterize a time-varying magnetic field based on an existing DMP model analyzing static magnetic fields. The method has been further exploited to compute the mutual inductance between coils at arbitrary locations and orientations. Simulation and experimental results of various configurations of the coils are presented. Comparison with the previously published data shows not only good performance in accuracy, but also effectiveness in computation.open0
