Abstract:
What do experiential poet Bruce Andrews and former Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly have in common? On the surface, almost nothing—the former is a highly regarded, retired academic and the latter a disgraced TV host and conservative partisan. For a brief four minutes in 2006, however, the two met and discussed on national television the nature of politics and higher education, with predictable obtuseness on the part of O’Reilly. Nothing was concluded or conceded, and arguably nothing was learned. Yet both did portend a fundamental change to the operation of American political life. O’Reilly’s attempt was far more public (and destructive), but Andrews’s political project has remained confined to a small contingent of scholars. This article reexamines Andrews’s claim that the only effective means of political resistance can come from an experimental poetic practice that challenges the ideology of American individualism at the heart of contemporary sense making. The author argues that the limitations of this political project are instructive and relevant beyond the confines of a scholarly interest in poetry, which are revealed through readings of Harryette Mullen.

Abstract:
Access to adequate foraging material can reduce the occurrence of feather pecking and cannibalism in laying hens. Technical devices may help farmers provide enrichment material more effectively. However, research in this field is rare. On a commercial free-range farm with 15,000 laying hens (Lohmann Tradition), an enrichment device was evaluated from the 30th to the 58th week of age (LW). It ran at five time points (TP) in the afternoon and offered five grams of dried maize silage per hen per day. The numbers of hens residing in defined scratching areas (ScA) either beneath the device (ScA 1 and 3) or in a similar area without the device (ScA 2) were determined. Significantly more hens were found in ScA 1 and ScA 3 when the device was running. On average, only 6.96 (±7.00) hens stayed in ScA 2, whereas 31.45 (±5.38) and 33.83 (±6.16) hens stayed in ScA 1 and ScA 3, respectively. The hen numbers for ScA 1 and ScA 3 did not differ significantly, nor did the TPs have an influence on number of hens within ScA 1 and ScA 3. The number of hens beneath the device can serve as a potential indicator of the device’s usage.

Abstract:
In order to improve the seeding efficiency and quality of water-saving mulch planters, a kind of multifunction mulch planter with laying irrigation tape was designed based on duckbill type precision seed metering device. It broke the pattern of single planting machine and realized duplex joint seeding operations. The seeding and film mulching performance were also improved by optimizing the seed metering device and film laying device. The planter has the characteristics of simple operation, less investment, reliable performance and good film-mulching result. The result of field test showed that: the average seed space is 150mm; the working speed is 4.3km/h; the pass rate of grain distance is 96.7%; the vacancy rate is 0.8%, the pass rate of seed number is 99.2%. So the sowing quality of the planter is well.

Abstract:
A good work environment is important for the individual, for industry and for society. The work environment research has, predominantly, targeted identification of problems and the measurement of the size of these problems. Innovations to reduce the incidence of musculoskeletal disorder, MSD, have been introduced in different branches of industry, but with limited success. Few of the ergonomic innovations developed for the building and construction industry have reached a sufficient level of adoption. Ergonomic innovations in the health care sector are of an incremental character and seem to have similar problems of adoption as the ones in the building and construction industry. Three examples of ergonomic innovation are examined in the thesis: a glue spreader for floor layers a four-wheel walker with a lifting device a sonographer’s scanning support device The studies show that an ergonomic innovation is not adopted for prevention of occupational injury unless the innovation also has other relative advantages apart from the ergonomic ones. For the group who already has sustained an injury, it is enough that the ergonomic problems are solved, while the other, symptom-free group, requires other advantages in order to adopt the innovation; increased production economy seems to be the most prominent potential advantage.

This chapter considers a wide range of examples of conceptual engineering, both within and outside of philosophy, and then provides a taxonomy of conceptual engineering. Section I provides a range of examples of philosophers trying to improve their representational devices, with examples from various philosophical sub-disciplines (including philosophy of mind, feminist philosophy, and ethics). Section II gives examples of conceptual engineering occurring outside philosophy, and makes connections with semantic drift and contextual negotiation. Section III provides a taxonomy for understanding conceptual engineering, laying out a series of distinctions we can use to show the commonalities and differences linking and differentiating between the examples we considered.

Full text
Abstract:
Semiconductor quantum structures are at the core of many photonic devices such as lasers, photodetectors, solar cells etc. To appreciate why they are such a good fit to these devices, we must understand the basic features of their band structure and how they interact with incident light. This book takes the reader from the very basics of III-V semiconductors (some preparation in quantum mechanics and electromagnetism is helpful) and shows how seemingly obscure results such as detailed forms of the Hamiltonian, optical transition strengths, and recombination mechanisms follow. The reader does not need to consult other references to fully understand the material, although a few handpicked sources are listed for those who would like to deepen their knowledge further. Connections to the properties of novel materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides are pointed out, to help prepare the reader for contributing at the forefront of research. The book also supplies a complete, up-to-date database of the band parameters that enter into the calculations, along with tables of optical constants and interpolation schemes for alloys. From these foundations, the book goes on to derive the characteristics of photonic semiconductor devices (with a focus on the mid-infrared) using the same principles of building all concepts from the ground up, explaining all derivations in detail, giving quantitative examples, and laying out dimensional arguments whenever they can help the reader’s understanding. A substantial fraction of the material in this book has not appeared in print anywhere else, including journal publications.

Jumbos and Jumping Devils is an original and pioneering exploration of not only the social history of the subcontinent but also of performance and popular culture. The domain of analysis is entirely novel and opens up a bolder approach of laying a new field of historical enquiry of South Asia. Trawling through an extraordinary set of sources such as colonial and post-colonial records, newspaper reports, unpublished autobiographies, private papers, photographs, and oral interviews, the author brings out a fascinating account of the transnational landscape of physical cultures, human and animal performers, and the circus industry. This book should be of interest to a wide range of readers from history, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies to analysts of history of performance and sports in the subcontinent.

Glatz, Phil, and Michael Bourke. Beak Trimming Handbook for Egg Producers. CSIRO Publishing, 2006. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/9780643093539.

Full text
Abstract:
The Beak Trimming Handbook for Egg Producers is a straightforward, practical guide to beak trimming of egg-laying hens to minimise cannibalism. It provides comprehensive information on why birds peck and how pecking can lead to problems like cannibalism; the methods available to beak trim birds; why a particular method should be chosen; and at what age birds may be trimmed. The book addresses quality control of beak trimming, enabling egg producers to be confident that equipment is properly set up, that birds are handled and trimmed according to best practice and farm biosecurity is maintained. Management of birds following beak trimming, to protect of the welfare of the birds and to ensure maximum productivity, is covered in detail. Best-practice, current methods of beak trimming, costs of trimming and ways to reduce the use of trimming are examined, along with expected future developments. The advantages and disadvantages of beak trimming are fully explored, covering both public and industry attitudes to the operation. Alternatives to beak trimming are canvassed to understand how the use of fitted devices, enrichment devices, abrasives, low lighting and the choice of low-pecking strains of birds can reduce the need for beak trimming. Finally, the book discusses strategies for minimising cannibalism and how the chosen strategy may be documented and justified. Please note that this book is spiral-bound.

Abstract:
There are a plethora of devices and phenomena that have been explored beyond the more conventional topics covered in the previous eight chapters. In this chapter, several of these interesting and promising topics in organic electronics are introduced. These include electrochemical light emitting devices, strong coupling between excitons and photons in optical microcavities forming so-called exciton polaritons and their associated devices, organic memory devices, and organics in limited dimensional systems. This latter topic includes discussions of energy transfer between organics and two-dimensional electronic materials, and single molecule, one-dimensional devices and phenomena. In each case, the discussions begin with an introduction to the subject, followed by laying the theoretical foundations of device operation, and finally by presenting several exemplary results that illuminate critical concepts. The purpose of this choice of topics is to show the endless horizons that are open to further investigation in the field of organic electronics.

If the monitoring device is cable based, then it requires an huge amount of cable deployment which can pose not only the high maintenance cost but difficulty in laying out the cable throughout the underground galleries. on the other hand, if it is direct wireless communication between sensing devices and the central processing unit, it is also not so feasible due to the crisscross, uneven and incline path. Therefore, Wireless Sensor Networks grab an opportunity to be deployed in such a hostile environment. Keeping in view, in the present chapter, attempts have been made to discuss the different aspects of wireless sensor network for underground coal mining services applications to overcome the various threats.

Abstract:
Recording jazz onto multitrack tape meant that, while music continued to be captured onto tape in studios, albums could be constructed in postproduction: analogous to the way movies were shot on soundstages and assembled in editing rooms. Some musicians—especially Miles Davis and his jazz fusion bands—directed improvisations in the recording studio and left the task of assembling albums to their producers. Audiences for such albums heard, not studio games of cut 'n' paste, but tracks that resembled the turn-on-a-dime musical performances they heard in concert—performances which imitated techniques devised in postproduction. Enabling the naiveté of this audience is an overarching truth: jazz production almost always uses available technologies to ensure that in-the-moment performances are recorded (and, later, reproduced) as perfectly as possible.

Abstract:
The first economic tipping for traditional media hit in 2006 when newspaper revenues began to collapse. Leonard Downie Jr. (2009), vice president at large for the Washington Post, notes how most newspaper executives knew that the time would come when the Internet would begin stealing newspaper readers and revenues, but they didn't expect it to happen so quickly. That is the nature of a tipping point. In one year, according to Downie, they were at an economic high and adding personnel to their news staff, and the next year they were laying people off. How quickly the economic downturn occurred took them and many other newspapers by surprise. In 2005 newspapers achieved $49.4 billion in advertising revenues. By 2014 revenues had fallen about 60% to $19.9 billion (Pew, 2015). There is evidence that such a tipping point is about to hit local TV stations. These two tipping points could lead to the end of quality local news coverage. This chapter explores how newspapers and TV stations can survive and flourish in the Digital Age.

Abstract:
Chapter 3 studies Marguerite Yourcenar’s distinctive synthesis of material mementos and personal recollections, historical documents and family relics. Yourcenar’s three-volume work Le Labyrinthe du monde (1974–1988) exemplifies a more general archival tendency in post-war autobiography; works by Perec, Barthes, and others also supplement personal testimony with documentary materials. Yourcenar’s trilogy marks a shift in her own practice from works that fictionalize history (Mémoires d’Hadrien, 1951), to a project that integrates “snippets of facts” within a factual composition. Yourcenar herself has a paradoxical place in this unusual autobiography, developing a family chronicle that attempts self-erasure even as it is organized around her relationship to the past. Developing a form of literary “necromancy,” Yourcenar’s writing mobilizes fictional devices to reanimate dead fragments of the past, while laying bare the work of research and reconstitution.

In this chapter, we introduce a gamification mechanism for advertising in mobile cloud. Gamification for advertising uses game thinking and mechanism in non-game contexts to engage users in developing and deliver advertising content suitable for mobile devices. To support this gamification advertising mechanism, we develop a cloud based service platform for media integration and distribution, supporting flexible interactions and collaboration among media content providers, advertisers, and developers. Contribution of this chapter is it introduces game theory and mechanism design into gamification for advertising which is demonstrated as feasible and just in time. And the gamifiation for advertising is the first in the literature ever discussed as we know in the context of mechanism design. A layering solution with introduction of an advertising layer for developing gamified applications for mobile devices is also the first ever in the literature as we know.

This chapter evaluates the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The Committee has devoted, and seems likely to continue to devote, much of its energies to streamlining and refining procedures and to laying the foundations upon which a serious effort can be made to promote respect for economic, social and cultural rights. In many respects, the Committee has confronted problems which are common to all of the treaty bodies. In other respects, however, the challenges that confront it and the context in which it must work are significantly different from those of the other committees. Among the many factors that tend to distinguish its task are: the lack of conceptual clarity of many of the norms reflected in the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; the ambivalence of most governments towards economic, social and cultural rights; and the absence of national institutions specifically committed to the promotion of economic rights qua rights.

Full text
Abstract:
Hot mix asphalt (HMA) is produced and laid at high temperature and therefore it is subjected to segregation due to differential cooling, which usually occurs during asphalt material transportation and road pavement construction. If mixing temperature is inconstant the degree of compaction may vary, and this will inevitably result in poor performance of the newly laid road pavement. This study describes factors influencing the quality of asphalt pavement construction and analyses results of repair of the selected road section using the solutions of the asphalt mix compaction control technology with the aim to increase the service life of road pavement and to reduce construction costs. Data were obtained by the asphalt pavement compaction control system TOPCON C-63A built in the HAMM company rollers HD- 75 and HD-120 used at the paving site, and by the TROXLER 3451 device used for the self-control density measuring tests. The data obtained enabled to determine the number of rolling passes, temperature differentials of asphalt pavement and pavement compaction.

Abstract:
Recently, electricity demand is rising steeply with advance of science. Additionally quantity of cables such as telephone and optical fiber is rising with communications development and increase of residence. These cables are untidily wired in the air with telephone pole. They impair cityscape and disturb pedestrian safety. Therefore improvement of procedures installing cables is requested. In order to solve it, the plan [1] which buries cables protected in pipes under ground is progressing. They are called buried pipes and consist of straight pipe made from stainless steel or plastic. However there is concern that the buried pipe is crushed and broken by the complex load due to earthquake and ground subsidence. Thus, it is necessary to develop the buried pipe with function of flexibly against damage or rupture. We focus attention to U-type bellows pipe with function of flexibly. In this study, we conduct tensile, compressive, bending test and numerical analysis of those tests using finite element method. From result, we investigate for the relationship between mechanical characteristic and deformation behavior. We study application of bellows pipe to buried pipe. In this study, we examined and analyzed deformation behavior when axial load and bending moment were given to specimens. Examinations items are as (1) we measured load, elongation bending radius by using are experimental device which modeled ground subsidence. (2) We obtained deformation behavior by numerical analysis by using constituted equations of solid mechanics. (3) We conducted simulation analysis of models constructed by finite element method. By comparing these three items, the deformation behavior is clarified.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper describes a multimodal system whose aim is to replicate in a virtual reality environment some typical operations performed by professional designers with real splines laid over the surface of a physical prototype of an aesthetic product, in order to better evaluate the characteristics of the shape they are creating. The system described is able not only to haptically render a continuous contact along a curve, by means of a servo controlled haptic strip, but also to allow the user to modify the shape applying force directly on the haptic device. The haptic strip is able to bend and twist in order to better approximate the portion of the surface of the virtual object over which the strip is laying. This device is 600mm long and is controlled by 11 digital servos for the control of the shape (6 for bending and 5 for twisting) and by two MOOG-FCS HapticMaster devices and two additional digital servos for 6-DOF positioning. We have developed additional input devices, which have been integrated with the haptic strip, which consist of two force sensitive handles positioned at the extremities of the strip, and a capacitive linear touch sensor placed along the surface of the strip, and four buttons. These devices are used to interact with the system, to select menu options, and to apply deformations to the virtual object. The paper describes the interaction modalities and the developed user interface, the applied methodologies, the achieved results and the conclusions elicited from the user tests.

Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a novel cable harness routing method based on the main channel path using the top-down design strategy, parts spatial distribution and path definition rules. To obtain cable harness routing, a cable harness path optimization algorithm based on undirected-graphs is also discussed in this paper. First of all, in this algorithm, we consider the closest point to the main channel as the access point of the device. Secondly, we convert the cable path to an undirected-graph automatically according to the main channel path. Furthermore, we find the shortest path for the undirected-graph by saving time and avoiding the closed loop. Finally, the 3D models of cable harnesses are generated automatically for the cable harness routing design. To verify this method, a cable harness design software based on Pro/E is developed in this paper. The results show that the efficiency of spacecraft cable harness design is about 50 percent. It is of great significance to fulfill the electro-mechanical automatic integrated cable design and promote the intelligent computer-aided laying technology.

Abstract:
An investigation of the drag induced by pulling a tool through a granular medium is reported. The work is aimed at understanding the drag on an offshore cable-laying tool with the objective of producing a model capable of predicting the force required to pull the tool through a granular medium. Experiments were run at 1g in a laboratory rig comprising a channel, containing the granular medium and a frame, in which the tool was inserted into the sand to a fixed depth and pulled through it at a constant velocity. The width, length and depth of insertion of the tool, the shape of the tool face and velocity of towing were investigated in dry sand only. The results show little change in drag force with velocity, over the range investigated, but indicate a power law relation to the depth of insertion. Increase in face width produces a near proportional increase in drag while increases in length produce smaller increases in drag force. The use of a rounded nose on the tool reduces the drag by a factor of up to 30%. A numerical model is proposed which is matched to the data and used to predict the loads on a full-scale device.

Abstract:
An electronic microarray has been used to carry out directed self-assembly of higher order 3D structures from Biotin/Streptavidin and DNA derivatized nanoparticles. Structures with more than forty layers of alternating biotin and streptavidin and DNA nanoparticles were fabricated using a 400 site CMOS microarray system. In this process, reconfigurable electric fields produced by the microarray device have been used to rapidly transport, concentrate and accelerate the binding of 40 and 200 nanometer biotin, streptavidin, DNA and peroxidase derivatized nanoparticles to selected sites on the microarray. The nanoparticle layering process takes less than one minute per layer (10–20 seconds for addressing and binding nanoparticles, 40 seconds for washing). The nanoparticle addressing/binding process can be monitored by changes in fluorescence intensity as each nanoparticle layer is deposited. The final multilayered 3-D structures are about two microns in thickness and 50 microns in diameter. Work is now focused on assembling “micron size” biosensor devices from bio-molecule derivatized luminescent and fluorescent nanoparticles. The proposed structure for a nanolayered glucose sensor device includes a base layer of biotin/streptavidin nanoparticles, a layer of glucose oxidase derivatized nanoparticles, a layer of peroxidase derivatized nanoparticles, a layer of quantum dots, and a final layer of biotin/streptavidin nanoparticles. Such a device will serve as a prototype for a wide variety of applications which includes other biosensor devices, lab-on a-chip devices, in-vivo drug delivery systems and “micron size” dispersible bio/chem sensors for environmental, military and homeland security applications.

Abstract:
The static and dynamic properties of lubricant PFPE are important for the service durability and reliability of the computer head-disk device. Thus molecular dynamic simulations based on a coarse-grained, bead-spring model are adopted to study those properties. On the one hand, we investigate the static properties and infer the structure of both nonpolar and polar PFPE films. For a nonpolar PFPE film, there is a layering structure in the surface layer. And for a polar PFPE film, besides layering structure, there is a bi-polymer structure in the bulk layer. On the other hand, we investigate the dynamic properties and find that for nonpolar PFPE film, a precursor film around one atomic diameter thickness develops according to layering structure; while for polar PFPE film, besides a precursor film, a much steeper and slower spreading shape appears according to bi-polymer structure.

Abstract:
A direct cardiac compression (DCC) device is an active sleeve that is surgically placed around the heart to help the failing heart to pump without contacting blood. Soft robotic techniques enable fabrication of a conformable DCC device containing modular actuators oriented in a biomimetic manner that can restore the natural motion of the heart and provide tunable active assistance. In this paper we describe the fabrication of a DCC device; the optimization of pneumatic actuators, their integration into a matrix with a modulus in the range of cardiac tissue and methods to affix this device to the heart wall. Pneumatic air muscles (PAMs) were fabricated using a modified McKibben technique and four types of internal bladders; low durometer silicone tubes molded in-house, polyester terephthalate (PET) heat shrink tubing, nylon medical balloons and thermoplastic urethane (TPU) balloons thermally formed in-house. Balloons were bonded to air supply lines, placed inside a braided nylon mesh with a 6.35mm resting diameter and bonded at one end. When pressurized to 145kPa silicone tubes failed and PET, nylon and TPU actuators generated isometric axial forces of 14.28, 19.65 and 19.05N respectively, with axial contractions of 33.11, 28.69 and 37.54%. Circumferential actuators placed around the heart reduced the cross-sectional area by 33.34% and 50.63% for silicone and TPU actuators respectively. PAMs were integrated into a soft matrix in a biomimetic orientation using three techniques; casting, thermal forming and layering. Designs were compared on an in vitro cardiac simulator and generated a volumetric displacement of up to 96ml when actuated for 200ms at 1Hz. Layering produced the lowest profile device that successfully conformed to the heart and this design is currently undergoing in vivo testing.
