Scelus fraternae necis: Rómulo, del asesinato a la apoteosis (Horacio, Ep. VII y Carm. III 3.)

El propósito de este artículo es mostrar las estrategias discursivas y los desplazamientos conceptuales que operan en la sustitución de la figura de Rómulo fratricida y de la noción de culpa ancestral que la misma conlleva (epodo VII), por la figura del fundador divinizado y la degradación moral tardo-republicana como causa de la guerra civil (oda III 3). Asimismo se intenta mostrar que esta sustitución da lugar a la identificación Rómulo-Augusto y la construcción y legitimación del proyecto político augusteo como garantía de la paz civil y ejecución de la voluntad divina

Approximating fixed point of({\lambda},{\rho})-firmly nonexpansive mappings in modular function spaces

In this paper, we first introduce an iterative process in modular function spaces and then extend the idea of a {\lambda}-firmly nonexpansive mapping from Banach spaces to modular function spaces. We call such mappings as ({\lambda},{\rho})-firmly nonexpansive mappings. We incorporate the two ideas to approximate fixed points of ({\lambda},{\rho})-firmly nonexpansive mappings using the above mentioned iterative process in modular function spaces. We give an example to validate our results

Development of a new flux splitting scheme

The use of a new splitting scheme, the advection upstream splitting method, for model aerodynamic problems where Van Leer and Roe schemes had failed previously is discussed. The present scheme is based on splitting in which the convective and pressure terms are separated and treated differently depending on the underlying physical conditions. The present method is found to be both simple and accurate

Effects of Magnetic Field and Temperature on the Critical Current Hysteresis in Tl-Ca-Ba-Cu-O Thin Films

The behavior of the critical current density of Tl-Ca-Ba-Cu-O superconducting thin films in a cycling magnetic field was investigated. The hysteresis of the transport Jc manifested similar features to those found in polycrystalline Y-Ba-Cu-O and granular Nb, Al thin films in zero-field cooling. However, a novel result of the transport Jc in field-cooled samples has been observed. The results were attributed to the presence of a saturated trapped magnetic flux in the weaklink network. The effects of temperature on both the trapped flux and the transport Jc suggest the existence of various states of the trapped flux in the Tl-based superconducting thin films

Turbulence modeling

The performance of existing two-equation eddy viscosity models was examined. An effort was made to develop better models for near-wall turbulence using direct numerical simulations of plane channel and boundary layer flows. The asymptotic near-wall behavior of turbulence was used to examine the problems of current second order closure models and develop new models with the correct near-wall behavior. Rapid Distortion Theory was used to analytically study the effects of mean deformation on turbulence, obtain analytical solutions for the spectrum tensor, Reynolds stress tensor, anisotropy tensor and its invariants, which can be used in the turbulence model development. The potential of the renormalization group theory in turbulence modeling was studied, as well as compressible turbulent flows, and modeling of bypass transition

Atopia : digital fictions of place

University of Technology Sydney. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.The central focus of this project is on how images of place mediate experiences of tourism and landscape. The invention of photography in the nineteenth century coincided with a boom in tourist activities, and since that time, photographs became an essential component of tourism. Tourists travelling to scenic areas for leisure and recreation use photography to capture and memorialise their experiences. Once they return home, these photographic images come to mediate their experiences of the landscapes they visited. In contrast to the early explorations of touristic landscape imagery of the nineteenth century, photographic imagery in the contemporary world cannot be disembedded from the ubiquitous mass media networks that distribute vast quantities of images and information. Images of foreign landscapes are now ubiquitous, and the touristic photograph, which originally mediated between travellers and the landscapes they visited, has infiltrated and become a crucial part of human life. As a result the boundaries between geographical places and virtual places become more uncertain day by day. Furthermore, the relationships between users and images are blurring and shifting. A digital image can be transformed and recomposed, and becomes itself an autonomous image that represents a new fictional landscape. The creative work and written analysis of this doctoral submission focuses on the concept of atopia. Willke refers to atopia as describing an 'anywhere/nowhere' state based on deterritorialisation, concentration and spatial inversion of social possibilities. The notion of atopia can refer to geographic spaces, but also can denote a fictitious place that is outside the actual world, an autonomous space that has the quality of being an in-between place, or an interface. In particular, an atopia can be an invented place, caught between the local and the foreign. Lippard coins the term 'tourist-at-home' to signify the collapsing of the distinctions between the visitor and the visited, the touristic and the domestic. This work takes up the challenge of Lippard’s contention that there is the possibility for a critical artistic practice at the interstice of the local and the foreign. It does this through appropriating modes of image creation at the intersection of landscape and tourism photography and digital media practice. The idea of the possibility of being both a visitor and a local at the same time is explored. By both studying and living in Australia but having grown up in Taiwan, I have myself had the cultural experience of being both 'alien' and 'at home' in the sense that crosses both the domain of travelling but also of dwelling. This investigation is pursued through a consideration of the significance and associations of fictional images of place, in that they have the quality of interfaces, standing between the actual world and the virtual spaces of imagination. The project explores how seemingly mundane places can be transformed into extraordinary landscapes through reconceptualisation, digital manipulation and re-presentation. The creative component consists of a series of twelve digital images that are created by combining original photographs of local landscapes that I took in the manner of a tourist exploring my surroundings. The images are presented in the form of a photograph album. This form of presentation invokes traditions of travel and recording of tourist experiences from before the digital era. The form of the album, a hand-crafted book using the coptic binding technique, allows for the images to be displayed in the domestic environment, in the manner of a personal exhibition
