The Reader’s Struggle : Intellectual War in The Four Zoas

After the Apocalypse at the end of The Four Zoas, the state of the redeemed world is surprisingly described as intellectual war. I argue that intellectual war is the struggle of an individual with his or her spectre, and specifically the postapocalyptic intellectual war alluded to in the last lines of the epic is the creative struggle to form works of art that the reading of the poem will engender in an ideal reader

Data storage and management related to soil carbon cycle by a NoSQL engine on a SQL platform - Joker Tao

The carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important greenhouse gas contributing 60 % toward global warming, respectively (IPCC, 2007). The correlation management in researches which focus on greenhouse gases (GHG) emission and soil attributes require huge amount of data. These data are inducted from measuring devices directly or from systems which are used for experimental data storage and management. Generally, these data come from different database systems which use different data storage structure. &#x0D; The main objective of the present study was to discuss a non-relational databasing model called Joker Tao (JT) which provides Big Data management for soil data and their GHG production potential related to carbon cycle in relational-databasing environment (Oracle APEX).</jats:p

Linear circuit models for on-chip quantum electrodynamics

We present equivalent circuits that model the interaction of microwave resonators and quantum systems. The circuit models are derived from a general interaction Hamiltonian. Quantitative agreement between the simulated resonator transmission frequency, qubit Lamb shift and experimental data will be shown. We demonstrate that simple circuit models, using only linear passive elements, can be very useful in understanding systems where a small quantum system is coupled to a classical microwave apparatus

Study of Parameters during Aluminum Cutting with Finite Element Method

The authors analyzed the force and stress values in the simplified cutting model and compared the results with the literature. For&nbsp;the study a 2D model was created in DEFORM 2D finite element software, using the temperature depended multilinear flow stress material model. The model was compiled according to the literatures. In this analysis were the effects of relief angel, tool angle, tool radius, depth of cut, and the cutting velocity examined. The values of forces, strain, temperature, stress and shear plane angle were examined at different values of geometry and machining parameters. For these examinations were used 28 parameter combinations. As a result of the study, the results for forces are similar to the results of examined literature at every parameter. The force results were checked on a simple tool geometry

INFLUENCE OF ECAP ROUTES ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF A NANOCRYSTALLINE ALUMINIUM ALLOY

Equal-Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) is an effective tool for producing ultra fine grained materials. In repeated application of ECAP, the rotation of the sample along the longitudinal axis of the billet allows to carry out different routes of deformation. The applied route has a strong influence on the texture, microstructure and mechanical behaviour of ECAP processed metals. In the present study ECAP was successfully applied to produce ultra fine-grained microstructure in a commercial Al-Mg-Si alloy (Al 6082). The mechanical investigations of the ECAP deformed specimens revealed that after 4 ECAP passes the material had a very high strength but a significantly decreased ductility. Further ECAP processing to 8 passes by route C increased ductility dramatically and strength slightly. The diameter ratio of the ellipse shaped cross-section of the compressed specimens was the highest for the sample deformed by route C for eight passes. This indicates that the anisotropy of the structure of ECAP deformed materials may play an important role in achieving good ductility. The quality of the ultra-precision finished surface of the processed sample improved dramatically after eight passes
