The Other Side of the Story

According to Molly Hite, a number of influential contemporary women novelists—notably Jean Rhys, Doris Lessing, Alice Walker, and Margaret Atwood—attempt innovations in narrative form that are more radical in their implications than the dominant modes of fictional experimentation characterized as postmodernist. In The Other Side of the Story, Hite makes the point that these innovations, which distinguish the genre she calls contemporary feminist narrative, are more radical precisely because their context is the critique of a culture and a literary tradition apprehended as profoundly masculinist

Toward the Determination of Joint Volatility-Hygroscopicity Distributions: Development and Response Characterization for Single-Component Aerosol

<div><p>This work presents the development and characterization of a thermodenuder for the study and interpretation of aerosol volatility. Thermodenuder measurements are further combined with a continuous-flow streamwise thermal gradient CCN counter to obtain the corresponding aerosol hygroscopicity. The thermodenuder response function is characterized with monodisperse aerosol of variable volatility and hygroscopicity. The measurements are then interpreted with a comprehensive instrument model embedded within an optimization framework to retrieve aerosol properties with constrained uncertainty. Special attention is given to the interpretation of the size distribution of the thermodenuded aerosol, deconvoluting the effects of impurities and multiple charging, and to simplifications on the treatment of thermodenuder geometry, temperature, the cooling section, and the effects of curvature and accommodation coefficient on inferred particle volatility. Retrieved vapor pressures are consistent with published literature and shown to be most sensitive to uncertainty in the accommodation coefficient.</p> <p>Copyright 2014 American Association for Aerosol Research</p> </div
