Semiclassical Description Of Non Magnetic Cloaking, Zubin Jacob, Evgenii Narimanov Mar 2008

Semiclassical Description Of Non Magnetic Cloaking, Zubin Jacob, Evgenii Narimanov

Birck and NCN Publications

We present a semiclassical description of non-magnetic cloaking. The semiclassical result is confirmed by numerical simulations of a gaussian beam scattering from the cloak. Further analysis reveals that certain beams penetrate the non-magnetic cloak thereby degrading the performance.

Fantasies Of Gender And The Witch In Feminist Theory And Literature, Justyna Sempruch Mar 2008

Fantasies Of Gender And The Witch In Feminist Theory And Literature, Justyna Sempruch

Comparative Cultural Studies

In Fantasies of Gender and the Witch in Feminist Theory and Literature, Justyna Sempruch analyzes contemporary representations of the “witch” as a locus for the cultural negotiation of genders. Sempruch revisits some of the most prominent traits in past and current perceptions in feminist scholarship of exclusion and difference. She examines a selection of twentieth-century US American, Canadian, and European narratives to reveal the continued political relevance of metaphors sustained in the archetype of the “witch” widely thought to belong to pop-cultural or folkloristic formulations of the past. Through a critical rereading of the feminist texts engaging with these …


Six Dimensions Of Expertise: A More Comprehensive Definition Of Cognitive Expertise For Team Coordination, S K. Garrett, Barrett S. Caldwell, E C. Harris, M C. Gonzalez Mar 2008

Six Dimensions Of Expertise: A More Comprehensive Definition Of Cognitive Expertise For Team Coordination, S K. Garrett, Barrett S. Caldwell, E C. Harris, M C. Gonzalez

School of Industrial Engineering Faculty Publications

Looking at expertise from the vantage point of many knowledge domains allows the observations and resulting definitions to be useful across a broad range of subject areas. A stable set of definitions that work on a higher, more comprehensive level than the current literature offers is needed for an integrated description of expertise. A cohesive cross-domain definition and explanation of expertise can be used to optimise group interactions. Since group performance incorporates additional components of expertise that are not present in individual performance situations, these additional components must be examined in order to see a full picture of the successful …

Introduction To Institutional Data Repositories Workshop, Michael Witt, Melissa Cragin Mar 2008

Introduction To Institutional Data Repositories Workshop, Michael Witt, Melissa Cragin

Libraries Research Publications

The course materials from a full-day, continuing education workshop given for the Chicago Metropolitan Library System that covered an introduction to institutional repositories, a rationale for sharing and archiving research data, an introduction to data curation, and related roles, resources, and approaches for librarians. Participants engaged in lab activities where they submitted sample datasets to two popular data-sharing websites, investigated and evaluated research data collections, and completed a prospectus to relate concepts from the workshop to their local institutions for future discussion and planning. Included are the presentation slides, a data repository prospectus, a list of data repositories, and a …


Permeability And Thermal Transport In Compressed Open-Celled Foams, Ravi Annapragada, S V. Garimella, Jayathi Y. Murthy Mar 2008

Permeability And Thermal Transport In Compressed Open-Celled Foams, Ravi Annapragada, S V. Garimella, Jayathi Y. Murthy

CTRC Research Publications

A computational methodology is proposed to describe the fluid transport in compressed open- celled metallic foams. Various unit-cell foam geometries are numerically deformed under uniaxial loads using a finite element method. An algorithm is developed and implemented to deform the fluid domain mesh inside the unit-cell foam based on the deformed solid unit-cell geometry. Direct simulations of the fluid transport in these deformed meshes are then performed over a range of Reynolds numbers used in practical applications. The model is validated against available experimental results and correlations. A corrected model is proposed for the permeability of compressed foams as a …


Marx, Postmodernism, And Spatial Configurations In Jameson And Lefebvre, Arina Lungu Mar 2008

Marx, Postmodernism, And Spatial Configurations In Jameson And Lefebvre, Arina Lungu

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article, "Marx, Postmodernism, and Spatial Configurations in Jameson and Lefebvre," Arina Lungu discusses the connection between Marxist sociology and postmodernist theory. Lungu examines Fredric Jameson's volume Postmodernism, or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism under the light of the spatial theory developed in the 1970s by Marxian theoretician Henri Lefebvre. For Jameson, the spatial turn is a consequence of the gap between the limited abilities of the human perceptive apparatus and the unrepresentability of the multinational hyperspace. In Lungu's view, Jameson reaches his definition of "culturally-dominant" sensibility by disregarding the rich body of spatial criticism outside postmodern theory. …

Thompson's And Acosta's Collaborative Creation Of The Gonzo Narrative Style, Shimberlee Jirón-King Mar 2008

Thompson's And Acosta's Collaborative Creation Of The Gonzo Narrative Style, Shimberlee Jirón-King

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article "Thompson's and Acosta's Collaborative Creation of the Gonzo Narrative Style," Shimberlee Jirón-King presents an analysis of Hunter S. Thompson's and Oscar Zeta Acosta's works and a correction about the origins of Gonzo Journalism. Jirón-King suggests that Thompson's and Acosta's writings express the authors' disillusionment about the loss of the American Dream and that their texts suggest the revolutionary movements they hoped for would transform a disintegrating culture have only fallen prey to the shortsightedness of US-American culture. The counter culture they observe simply develops its own forms of racism, classism, power-mongering, and corruption that re-inscribe hegemonic discourses …


Recent Advances In Microscale Pumping Technologies: A Review And Evaluation, Brian D. Iverson, S V. Garimella Feb 2008

Recent Advances In Microscale Pumping Technologies: A Review And Evaluation, Brian D. Iverson, S V. Garimella

CTRC Research Publications

Micropumping has emerged as a critical research area for many electronics and biological applications. A significant driving force underlying this research has been the integration of pumping mechanisms in micro total analysis systems and other multi-functional analysis techniques. Uses in electronics packaging and micromixing and microdosing systems have also capitalized on novel pumping concepts. The present work builds upon a number of existing reviews of micropumping strategies by focusing on the large body of micropump advances reported in the very recent literature. Critical selection criteria are included for pumps and valves to aid in determining the pumping mechanism that is …
