The aesthetics of vomiting in Nietzsche’s philosophy

Through the historical link of the aesthetic with the concept of the sublime, this article allows the former to not only encompass the beautiful but also include within it a darker side, one which enables us to connect it to the concept of disgust. Following the theories of Immanuel Kant, Jacques Derrida and Friedrich Nietzsche, this essay proposes that disgust and vomiting are forms of the aesthetic and the sublime, not their “other”. Further, the paper relates vomiting to the expressive and emetic functions of language—two important concepts in theorising aesthetic thinking carried out by M.H. Abrams in his analyses. This article discusses the possibility of employing the emetic function in order to structure a text and presents Nietzsche’s works as an example for understanding nausea and vomiting as textual practices, or as aesthetic ideals, on which texts are based.peer-reviewe

Old Obligations in the Modern World: The Father as Provider before and after Divorce

The article draws on empirical qualitative research to identify the various ways in which separated or divorced fathers in the Czech Republic relate to the norm of father-provider. It offers an analysis of the plurality of men's approaches to the traditional provider norm of fatherhood, & the changes that occur in their attitudes & approaches as a result of divorce. The results show that although for Czech men the 'provider' dimension is the strongest dimension in their notion of fatherhood even after marital separation, their understanding of what material support for the children means is transformed by the fact of separation. In the father's view, the child, along with the family, ceases to be a joint enterprise, & the child often becomes identified with the ex-wife. According to their notions & practices concerning child support, the men in this study can be divided into three groups: nurturing fathers who reject the provider/caregiver division & thus refuse to pay; helping fathers who consider their children to be primarily the ex-wife's responsibility, & thus only pay small amounts of money, & the fathers-providers who are willing to fully support their children, but only if this support is voluntary & under their control

Short-range ordering and mechanical properties of a Ni-20%Cr alloy

The mechanical behavior of a coarse-grained (100 mm) nickel-base alloy nichrome (Ni-20%Cr) was studied in compression at temperatures ranging from 150 to 1000°C. It was shown that in the temperature interval of 300-600°C this alloy demonstrates the following features of mechanical behavior: i) positive temperature dependence of yield stress; ii) jerky flow associated with the Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect ; 3) very high value (115 MPa) of “threshold” stress at 650°C. These features of mechanical behavior can be related to short- range ordering (SRO). It was shown by differential scanning calorimetry that SRO takes place in this temperature range, causing PLC effect and positive temperature dependence of yield stress. In addition, SRO has persistency effect on yield stress and creep resistanceyesBelgorod State Universit

On the origin of the superior long-term creep resistance of a 10% Cr steel

A low-nitrogen 10% Cr martensitic steel containing 3% Co and 0.008% B was shown to exhibit an extremely long creep rupture time of ∼4·104 h under an applied stress of 120 MPa at 650 °C. The creep behavior and evolution of lath martensite structure and precipitates during creep at these conditions were studied. The main feature of the microstructure under long-term creep is retention of the lath structure until ruptur

Effect of the strain rate on the low cycle fatigue behavior of a 10Cr-2W-Mo-3Co-NbV steel at room temperature

The effect of a strain rate varying from ̴10-3 to ̴10¯⁵ s¯¹ at a strain amplitude ranging from ±0.25% to ±0.6% on the low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior and the microstructure of a 10%Cr-2%W0.7%Mo-3%Co-NbV steel with 0.008 wt.

Effect of short-term aging on the impact toughness of advanced 10% CR steel

Heat-resistant high-chromium martensitic steels are widely used in various critical components of fossil power plants due to their superior creep resistance and high-temperature strengt

Creep and Deformation of Metals and Alloys at Elevated Temperatures

Various aspects of creep and deformation Creep resistance is an extremely important characteristic to be evaluated for structural materials that are used, for example, in aircraft gas turbines, fossil power plants, nuclear reactors, etc.behaviors of metals and alloys at elevated temperatures are of great interest to materials scientist

Impact toughness of a 10% Cr steel with high boron and low nitrogen

The effect of temperature on the impact toughness and fracture behavior of a 10% Cr-2% W-0.7% Mo-3% Co-0.05% Nb-0.2% V-0.008% B-0.003% N (all in wt%) steel was studied. The ductile-brittle transition (DBT) occurs at 10 °C. At the DBT temperature (DBTT), the onset of unstable crack propagation occurs at the maximum load. The mbrittlement is attributed to the onset of unstable crack propagation at stresses below the general yieldin

On effect of rhenium on mechanical properties of a high-Cr creepresistant steel

Addition of 0.2% rhenium in the experimental steel improved the short-term creep strength at 650 C. Comparison of kinetics of tungsten depletion from the matrix in different high-Cr martensitic steels showed that rhenium in the experimental 10Cr-3Co-3W-0.2Re steel did not lead to retaining an increased amount of solute W in the ferritic matrix during both aging and creep at 650 C. At the same time, the precipitation of the high fraction of the fine Laves phase particles provided the effective particle strengthenin
