German-language culture and the Slav stranger within
The aim of this article is to delineate the symbolic position of the Slavonic, and in particular
the Czech, in German-language Austrian culture of the period 1890–1940. My approach will
be informed by psychoanalysis. A subsidiary aim is to try to demonstrate uses of psychoanalysis
in the study of central European culture. What is at issue here is an historical set of social
power relations that find their expression in culture, that is to say, in art and literature, and
that can be interpreted by psychoanalysis. All too often psychoanalysis avoids the social and
the political outside the framework of the individual and her or his predictable traumas
emanating from domestic life.1 This article, however, constitutes an exercise in inter- and
intra-cultural psychoanalysis: intra-cultural as an investigation of psychoanalytic dynamics
within German-language culture; inter-cultural as an examination of the relationship between
German-language and Slav cultures in psychoanalytic terms
Regression Analyses for ABAB Designs in Educational Research
Too many practitioners interpret ABAB research based on visual inspection rather than statistical analyses. This article illustrates the techniques and importance of regression analyses on a hypothetical single-case study group given Cooperative Learning as an instructional strategy for increasing cooperative behavior
NASA low- and medium-speed airfoil development
The status of NASA low and medium speed airfoil research is discussed. Effects of airfoil thickness-chord ratios varying from 9 percent to 21 percent on the section characteristics for a design lift coefficient of 0.40 are presented for the initial low speed family of airfoils. Also, modifications to the 17-percent low-speed airfoil to reduce the pitching-moment coefficient and to the 21-percent low speed airfoil results are shown for two new medium speed airfoils with thickness ratios of 13 percent and 17 percent and design-lift coefficients of 0.30. Applications of NASA-developed airfoils to general aviation aircraft are summarized
'Dissent Today: Law and the Arts from Prague to Tehran'
The spirit of Vaclav Havel - who did more than anyone to pull down the Iron Curtain - lives on in a prize that honours the twin impulses of law and the art
Uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy in
is a paramagnetic metal and since its low temperature
resistivity is described by with , it
is also considered a non-Fermi liquid (NFL) metal. We have performed extensive
magnetoresistance and Hall effect measurements of untwinned epitaxial films of
. These measurements reveal that exhibits
uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy. In addition, the low-temperature NFL
behavior is most effectively suppressed when a magnetic field is applied along
the easy axis, suggesting that critical spin fluctuations, possibly due to
proximity of a quantum critical phase transition, are related to the NFL
behavior.Comment: 7 figure
Aligned Rank Tests for Interactions in Split-Plot Designs: Distributional Assumptions and Stochastic Heterogeneity
Three aligned rank methods for transforming data from multiple group repeated measures (split-plot) designs are reviewed. Univariate and multivariate statistics for testing the interaction in split-plot designs are elaborated. Computational examples are presented to provide a context for performing these ranking procedures and statistical tests. SAS/IML and SPSS syntax code to perform the procedures is included in the Appendix

On Berenstein-Douglas-Seiberg Duality
I review the proposal of Berenstein-Douglas for a completely general
definition of Seiberg duality. To give evidence for their conjecture I present
the first example of a physical dual pair and explicitly check that it
satisfies the requirements. Then I explicitly show that a pair of toric dual
quivers is also dual according to their proposal. All these computations go
beyond tilting modules, and really work in the derived category. I introduce
all necessary mathematics where needed.Comment: 22 pages, LaTe
