Curran, L. C. "Samuel Richardson : the author as correspondent." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2012. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1349011/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a broadly chronological study of Samuel Richardson’s correspondence, from his early career as a novelist in the 1740s through to his death in 1761. It argues that Richardson’s sustained concern with the aesthetics and ethics of writing letters was central to his conception of authorship and its relation to publicity. It contends that the form and content of Richardson’s letters interact with his novels in ways that are more pervasive than has been previously acknowledged in Richardson studies; I read letters as an integral part of his literary oeuvre, not merely an adjunct to it. The thesis uses manuscripts of Richardson’s correspondence in archives in both Britain and America, many of which are unpublished. Chapter One examines the development of a familiar epistolary prose style in Richardson’s early works, particularly his first novel Pamela (1740) and its sequel (1741). It focuses on the relationship between aesthetics and ethics in the use of the familiar letter in fiction of this period. Chapter Two is, in part, a case study of Richardson’s letters with his most significant correspondent, Lady Bradshaigh, about Clarissa (1747-8), and links their letters to the development of a quasi-autobiographical mode of writing in his last surviving piece of fiction, ‘The History of Mrs Beaumont’. Chapter Three traces how Richardson used correspondence to encourage and promote women’s writing, both in manuscript and print. Chapter Four examines Richardson’s correspondence with men and his attempt to reformulate literary manliness as a moral virtue in Sir Charles Grandison (1753-4). Chapter Five extends these aesthetic and moral debates to Richardson’s own editing of his correspondence, using manuscript evidence and exchanges he had concerning the ethics of publishing his letters during his lifetime. The Conclusion discusses the implications of these examples for the future study of the author as correspondent.

Une variété de Richardson est l’intersection d’une variété de Schubert directe avec une variété de Schubert opposée dans une variété de drapeaux. Dans cette thèse, on s’intéresse aux singularités des variétés de Richardson. Un résultat de Kreiman et Lakshmibai donne la multiplicité d’un point T-fixe sur une variété de Richardson. Dans le chapitre I, on prouve qu’en caractéristique nulle, leur formule est valable en un point quelconque, pourvu que la variété de drapeaux soit cominuscule. On considère ensuite une désingularisation d’une variété de Richardson de la variété des drapeaux complets de type An, obtenue comme sous-variété d’une variété de Bott-Samelson. On dispose d’une famille naturelle de fibrés en droite sur les variétés de Bott-Samelson, et leurs espaces de sections ont été étudiés par Lakshmibai et Magyar, qui en donnent une base indexée par des objets combinatoires, appelés tableaux standard. On prouve dans le chapitre II que cette base est compatible avec la désingularisation de la variété de Richardson lorsque le fibré en droites est très ample. On obtient de cette façon une base indexée par des tableaux particuliers, appelés w0-standardA Richardson variety is the intersection of a direct Schubert variety with an opposite Schubert variety inside a flag variety. In this thesis, we are interested in the singularities of Richardson varieties. A result of Kreiman and Lakshmibai gives the multiplicity at a T-fixed point on a Richardson variety. In chapter I, we prove that in characteristic zero, their formula is true for an arbitrary point, provided the flag variety is cominuscule. Next, we consider a desingularization of a Richardson variety in the full flag variety of type An, obtained as a subvariety of a Bott-Samelson variety. There is a natural family of line bundles on Bott-Samelson varieties, and their spaces of sections have been studied by Lakshmibai and Magyar, who give a basis of these spaces indexed by combinatorial objects called standard tableaux. We prove in chapter II that this basis is compatible with the desingularization of the Richardson variety when the line bundle is very ample. In this way, we obtain a basis indexed by particular tableaux, the so-called w0-standard ones

Full textAbstract:
La musique dans Pilgrimage de Dorothy Richardson joue un rôle important. C'est avant tout un élément crucial dans la quête identitaire de la protagoniste, Miriam Henderson. Récit de la formation d'une artiste, Pilgrimage est aussi celui de la quête d'une identité religieuse, nationale et féminine de la protagoniste. La musique accompagne le récit et offre la possibilité à Miriam de (ré)évaluer sa relation aux différentes religions organisées, de redéfinir son anglicité et de construire une identité féminine authentique. La musique ouvre également la voie à la « joie indépendante », au « centre de son être » où se loge une identité préexistante sur laquelle repose l'identité authentique qu'elle cherche. Par ailleurs, la musique aide Richardson à rompre avec la tradition romanesque du dix-neuvième siècle et à exprimer sa défiance à l'égard du langage et sa capacité à représenter la « réalité ». En intégrant les principes musicaux à la construction du texte narratif, l'auteur met en valeur son désir d'utiliser la musique comme modèle du fonctionnement sémiotique du texte narratif, d'influer sur la façon dont celui-ci fait sens et le communique en réfractant la « réalité » sur un axe à la fois vertical et horizontal et présente ainsi sa conception du temps comme échappant à la division entre passé, présent et futur. En outre, Richardson a recours à la musique pour mieux représenter la conscience, le processus de réflexion et le monde intérieur de sa protagoniste. Enfin, l'accompagnement musical sollicite la coopération de la conscience créatrice du lecteur en s'assurant sa collaboration dans la construction de la « réalité » que le roman tente de représenterMusic plays an important role in Pilgrimage by Dorothy Richardson. On the one hand, music is a crucial element in the protagonist's search for identity. Reading Pilgrimage as a story of a quest and the formation of an artist shows that the quest of the protagonist Miriam Henderson is also that of a religious, national and feminine identity accompanied by music. Music provides the protagonist with the opportunity to (re)assess her relationship with various organized religions, redefine her Englishness, and build an authentic female identity. Music also reveals the “independent joy,” at “the center of being,” where a pre-existing identity can be found upon which the authentic identity that Miriam seeks rests. On the other hand, Richardson relies on music to break with the nineteenth-century writing conventions and express her distrust in the capacity of language to render “reality.” Her effort to integrate musical principles in the construction of the narrative emphasizes her desire to use music as a model for the semiotic functioning of the text, to influence how the text makes sense and communicates it refracting “reality” on an axis, both vertical and horizontal, thus presenting her concept of time which is outside the division into past, present and future. Furthermore, Richardson uses music to represent consciousness, the thinking process, and the inner world of the protagonist. Finally, the musical accompaniment generates the cooperation of the reader's creative consciousness securing his collaboration in the construction of the “reality” that the novel is trying to represent

Ghabris, Maryam. "Les passions dans les romans de Samuel Richardson." Paris 3, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA030098.
Full textAbstract:
Les passions, que fustigent les philosophes depuis les anciens grecs, les prédicateurs et les romanciers, constituent le thème essentiel des romans de Samuel Richardson. Il les développe, de l'amour à la haine du moi, depuis leur éveil jusqu'à leurs excès et leurs conséquences. Favorisées par le tempérament anglais et par la condition de la femme considérée comme l'objet prometteur des passions des hommes, les passions sont à l'origine des vices de la société du dix-huitième siècle qui n'apportent que souffrance et malheur. Richardson défend la femme et prône chez les deux sexes la chasteté, la délicatesse, la sensibilité et l'amour du prochain. Il met en garde deux qui, abuses par leurs passions, oublient que la vie temporelle n'est qu'une vie probatoire en vue de la vie éternelle; il les encourage à se reformer par le repentir avant que le destin ne les surprenne dans une mort prématurée. Richardson, moraliste chrétien, conseille une éducation fondée sur l'obéissance à la loi morale et sur l'adhésion à la foi en dieu. Richardson, romancier, analyste du coeur humain, fait pénétrer le lecteur dans les profondeurs de l'inconscient de ses personnages, par le biais d'une composition habile, aux intrigues bien construites, aux dialogues vivants et au style qui donne à l'expression des passions une authenticité jamais atteinte jusqu'ici. Chantre de la raison et de la sensibilité, Richardson servira de modèle aux romanciers et son oeuvre donnera le ton au roman sentimentalPassions, criticised by the greeks, preachers and novelists, are the essential themes in the novels of Samuel Richardson. He develops these, from one extreme passion to the other, from their awakenings to their excesses and their consequences. Favoured by the english temperament, and by the condition of the woman considered as the promising object of men, passions are the sources of the vices of eighteenth-century bringing suffering and calamity. Richardson defends the woman and commends chastity, delicacy, sensibility and generosity for both sexes. He warns those who, misled by their passions, forget that temporal life is not but a life of trial if compared to eternal life. Richardson encourages men to change their ways by repenting before destiny surprizes them by an untimely death. Richardson, a christian moralist, advises an education based on obeying the moral code and an adhesion to faith in god. As a novelist and an analyst of the human heart, he invites the reader to penetrate into the subconscious of his characters in his shillful composition, well-constructed plots, lively dialogues and a style which gives to the expression of passions an authenticity never before attained. Eulogist of reason and sensibility, Richardson served a model for women novelists and his work gave a tone to the sentimental novel

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to calculate two types of Littlewood–Richardson polynomi- als. These are structure coefficients in the ring of double symmetric functions (x||a) which has a distinguished basis consisting of the double Schur functions sλ(x||a). The first type of Littlewood–Richardson polynomials arises when we consider the product of two double Schur functions, the second when the comultiplication operation in the ring (x||a) is applied to a double Schur function. When the ring (x||a) is specialised to the ring of symmetric functions (x), we recover the Littlewood–Richardson coeffi- cients. Apart from their applications in the combinatorics of symmetric functions, the Littlewood–Richardson polynomials are important for the following reasons. They are applied in geometry and representation theory. The first type of polynomials de- scribe a multiplication rule for equivariant Schubert classes, and also a multiplication rule for virtual quantum immanants and higher Capelli operators. The second type is relevant to describing equivariant cohomology of infinite grassmanians. The structure of this thesis is as follows. In Chapter 1, we introduce well known definitions associated with the ring of symmetric functions (x). Using the Pieri rule and Jacobi–Trudi identity, we then present a proof of a rule used to calculate the Littlewood–Richardson coefficients. This is Theorem 1.8. This proof we present is a simplified version of our main result in Chapter 3. In Chapter 2, we introduce the ring of double symmetric functions (x||a), which is a generalisation of the classical ring (x) depending on an extra set of infinite variables a = (ai)i∈Z . We introduce the basis of double Schur functions, and then explain how the two types of Littlewood–Richardson polynomials arise as structure coefficients involving the double Schur functions. We also discuss the significance of these structure coefficients in combinatorics, representation theory, and geometry. In Chapter 3, we present one of the main results of this thesis using raising operators. This is a new proof of Theorem 3.33, a known formula which calculates the Littlewood–Richardson polynomials arising between the product of two double Schur functions. Our proof relies on two things: first, we introduce a Jacobi–Trudi identity for the double Schur functions. Second, we derive a Pieri rule for the ring (x||a). This Pieri rule is in turn a specialisation of a more general rule which we also introduce for the ring A generated by the indeterminates hr,s from the 9th Variation of Macdonald [14]. In Chapter 4, we discuss the dual Littlewood–Richardson polynomials which arise when comultiplication is applied to the double Schur functions. We also discuss the dual Schur functions and skew double Schur functions. The dual Littlewood– Richardson polynomials then give combinatorial identities involving these functions. In the conclusion of Chapter 4, we present another main result of this thesis. This i is Theorem 4.3, which provides a stable formula to calculate the dual Littlewood– Richardson polynomials. In Chapter 5, we introduce the ring of generalised supersymmetric functions (x/y||a), which has a distinguished basis consisting of generalised Frobenius–Schur functions sλ(x/y||a). Using a recurrence relation, we produce another main result of this thesis. This is a Pieri rule which gives the structure coefficients arising out of the product between the functions sθ(x/y||a) and sλ(x/y||a), where λ is an arbitrary partition and θ is a skew partition not containg a 2 × 2 subdiagram; this is Theo- rem 5.34. A specialisation of this theorem then lets us evaluate some of the dual Littlewood–Richardson coefficients.

Full textAbstract:
By the early twentieth century, the epistemology oftime had become a question of an individual's changing perceptions. In this context, Dorothy Miller Richardson (1873-1957) provided one of the most striking studies of an individual's varying perceptions of time in her magnum opus, the multi-volume Pilgrimage (published 1915-1967). Frequently overlooked as a theorist of time, Richardson developed innovative literary techniques to represent this new understanding of the variable quality of temporal perception. Drawing on her affinity with film for its ability to disrupt linear chronology, Richardson appropriated cinematic devices and the experience of the silent cinema into Pilgrimage. By choosing a technique that combines notions of time, human mentality, and cinema-and the implicit relationships between philosophy, art, and science-Richardson contributes to the very definition of "modernism." This thesis incorporates Richardson's unpublished and published literary and film theory into her predominant works, including but too often limited to Pilgrimage and her column in the film journal Close Up, in order to provide a more detailed contextual and theoretical explanation of Richardson's cinematic writing. This explanation reveals that her fiction and non-fiction mutually support her position that certain cinematic themes--change, silence, and openness to interpretation-express temporal perception. This intertextual analysis is also a method of providing Richardson studies a contextual interpretation of Richardson's Close Up articles, now widely available. This examination grounds Richardson's cinematic fiction in her own philosophy in order to illuminate the consistent themes throughout her works. As Richardson's philosophy corresponds with and diverges from philosopher Henri Bergson's ideas on time and the cinema, it concludes that the problems with articulating temporal perception reside in verbal language. The temporal capacities of the "language" of film explain Richardson's motivation to transform cinematic devices into literary techniques. This thesis will analyze her use of specific cinematic devices throughout Pilgrimage, supported by her philosophy on the cinematic nature of existence. This analysis reveals that Richardson's cine-literary theory was shared by the writer Gertrude Stein, who unknowingly complements Richardson's approach by privileging the temporal abilities of cinematic "language" over traditional verbal language. Outlining Richardson's equation of silence with free contemplation, this thesis also reinterprets her feminism as her push towards both human intellectual freedom and the emancipation of her own identity. Ultimately, this thesis's intertextual reconstruction of Dorothy Richardson's identity inaugurates her as an analyst ofmodemity, substantiating the contextual relevance of this single-author study and providing a methodology for bringing neglected authors like Richardson out of obscurity.

Full textAbstract:
Resumo: Os dramaturgos gregos basearam as suas peças em fatos mitológicos e históricos que receberam uma interpretação trágica. Dentro deste contexto, Jack Richardson, que tem um profundo conhecimento da tragédia Grega, também tenta inserir alguns acontecimentos políticos e históricos que afetam a Civilização Moderna dentro da estrutura do mito de Orestes. Em sua peça, The Prodigal, que está sendo analisada nesta dissertação, ele enfoca a Guerra de Tróia e, como acontece em todas as guerras, os soldados que voltam, como os cidadãos de Argos, são atingidos pelas conseqüências psicológicas de após-guerra de exaustão e fadiga. Na peça citada acima, a dimensão política é fundamental e constitui uma espécie de leitmotiv que sustenta a ação. O autor demonstra um interesse especial pela função política do homem - a estrutura política determina os aspectos sociais e religiosos nesta peça. Em um texto literário, o aspecto político não transporta valor por si só, mas, pode significar um elemento essencial de sua estrutura. Richardson dramatiza a sua teoria de Evolução Histórica em The Prodigal pondo em evidência as razões e circunstâncias que causam a queda de uma Instituição, que não pode manter os seus valores fundamentais contra uma nova mentalidade que emerge. Ele analisa as divergências políticas, a sociologia da família e discute argumentos religiosos, literários e filosóficos, tendo como modelos os personagens da antiga mitologia. O principal objetivo desta dissertação é determinar a teoria de Evolução Histórica de Jack Richardson em The Prodigal. A minha intenção é comparar a peça moderna com a Oréstia de Ésquilo para determinar até que ponto os dois dramaturgos sustentam os mesmos pontos de vista e quais especificamente são as inovações introduzidas por Jack Richardson.

Full textAbstract:
Samuel Richardson's second novel, Clarissa: or, The History of a Young Lady, one of the longest novels in English, has appeared in dozens of significantly different editions, many of them abridgments. This study examines the means by which Richardson and later editors altered the text of Clarissa, primarily by working with three variables: its epistolary format, its length, and its explicit moral lessons.The first half of the study reviews relevant scholarly research and traces Richardson's uses of internal editors in his four editions of the novel. Richardson's omniscient editor, the most visible and conventional of the internal editors of ClarissR, operates both inside and outside the epistolary framework of the novel. Inside, the editorial voice adds identifying tags to letters and summarizes missing letters. Outside, the editor emphasizes moral elements of the novel by means of a preface and postscript, numerous footnotes, a list of principal characters, and a judgmental table of contents. Richardson expanded the role of this editor in each of his successive editions.Richardson's mastery of the epistolary format further appears in his use of all the major correspondents as internal editors. Jack Belford operates most visibly, assembling correspondence to and from Clarissa and Lovelace to vindicate Clarissa's memory and instruct possible readers. Belford's Conclusion serves a similar function to the nameless editor's preface and postscript. Richardson also gave Clarissa, Anna Howe, and Lovelace editorial tasks, including introducing and summarizing letters, footnoting, and altering letters before showing them to someone other than the intended recipient.Each major correspondent also has a unique individual editorial function.The study's second half analyzes and compares seven abridgments of Clarissa published between 1868 and 1971, concluding that all seven drastically change the novel (yet in differing fashions) despite their retention of its plot and epistolary format.All seven external editors alter Richardson's stated intentions. Four variables shape the comparison: stated editorial intent, omissions, alterations, and additions. An appendix lists the contents of all seven abridgments by individual letter.Department of English

Full textAbstract:
The edition of Pamela a person reads will affect his or her perception of Pamela's ascent into aristocratic society. Richardson's revisions to the fourteenth edition of Pamela, published posthumously in 1801, change Pamela's character from the 1740 first edition in such a way as to make her social climb more believable to readers outside the novel and to "readers" inside the novel. Pamela alters her language, her actions, and her role in the household by the end of the first edition; in the fourteenth edition, however, she changes in little more than her title. Pamela might begin as a novel that threatens the fabric of class hierarchies, but it ends-both within the plot and externally throughout its many editions-as a novel that stabilizes and strengthens social norms.

Resumo: A estabilidade térmica do ecossistema marinho Antártico tem permitido aos peixes antárticos evoluir de tal forma que seu metabolismo é mais eficiente em baixas temperaturas. Contudo, o aquecimento dos oceanos em especial em torno da Península Antártica e ilhas adjacentes levantam questões a respeito da plasticidade metabólica e da capacidade de aclimatização dos nototenídeos antárticos ao aumento da temperatura. Este trabalho investiga enzimas do metabolismo energético e do estresse oxidativo de Notothenia coriiceps e Notothenia rossii submetidos à elevação térmica. Os experimentos foram realizados na Estação Antártica Comandante Ferraz (EACF) e ambas as espécies foram expostas a temperaturas de 0+0,5°C, 4+0,5°C e 8+0,5°C durante 1, 4, 15 e 30 dias. A temperatura de 0°C foi escolhida como controle, já que se encontra dentro da média da variação térmica encontrada na Baía do Almirantado, Ilha Rei George, onde os peixes foram capturados. Já o aquecimento em 4°C é uma condição térmica experimental capaz de induzir alterações metabólicas em peixes Antárticos e a temperatura experimental de 8°C fica próxima da tolerância térmica destes peixes. A aclimatação de N. rossii por 1 dia a 4°C e 8°C, e 15 dias a 4°C levou à redução dos níveis da glicose-6-fosfatase (G6Pase) renal, enquanto que em 30 dias observou-se a modulação negativa em 8°C em relação a 4°C. O aquecimento em 8°C induziu a modulação positiva da citrato sintase (CS) em relação a 0°C em peixes mantidos por 15 dias. A malato desidrogenase (MDH), a lactato desidrogenase (LDH), a catalase (CAT) e a superóxido dismutase (SOD) não apresentaram modulação de seus níveis frente ao aquecimento (4°C e 8°C) em relação ao controle em N. rossii enquanto que a glutationa S-transferase (GST) foi modulada negativamente. Já em N. coriiceps, os níveis teciduais da G6Pase e SOD não variaram significativamente no tecido renal com o aumento da temperatura. Houve variação dos níveis da CS em consequência do aquecimento (4°C) e do tempo de exposição, enquanto a MDH apresentou redução da atividade em 4°C (4 dias) e em 8°C (1 e 4 dias). A temperatura de 4°C modulou negativamente a atividade da GST e da CAT de N. coriiceps expostos por 4 e 15 dias, respectivamente. Em 1 dia de exposição a 8°C, os níveis da GST reduziram marcantemente em relação a 0°C. O conteúdo de malondialdeído (MDA) de N. rossii mostrou modulação positiva devido ao aquecimento, exceto em 4 dias. Já N. coriiceps apresentou níveis 40% maiores de MDA no grupo submetido a 4°C por 4 dias, enquanto nos demais tempos não houve variação. Dessa forma, nota-se que N. coriiceps e N. rossii respondem distintamente ao aumento da temperatura, sendo os mecanismos de resposta metabólica diferenciados nas temperaturas de 4°C e 8°C e ao longo do tempo de exposição.

Abstract: The thermal stability of the Antarctic marine ecosystem has allowed Antarctic fishes to evolve efficiently their metabolism at low temperatures. However, the warming of the oceans in particular around the Antarctic Peninsula and adjacent islands raise questions about the metabolic plasticity and acclimation capacity of the Antarctic notothenioid to increasing temperature. This study investigated the levels of activity of some key enzymes of energy metabolism and oxidative stress in Notothenia coriiceps and Notothenia rossii subjected to elevated temperature. The experiments were performed at Comandante Ferraz Antarctic Station (EACF) and both species were exposed to temperatures of 0+0,5°C, 4+0,5°C and 8+0,5°C for 1, 4, 15 and 30 days. The temperature of 0°C was chosen as a control, since it is within the average of the thermal variation found in Admiralty Bay, King George Island, where the fish were caught. Already warming at 4°C is an experimental thermal condition able to induce metabolic changes and 8°C is close to the thermal tolerance of Antarctic fish. The acclimation of N. rossii for 1 day at 4°C e 8°C, and 15 days at 4°C led to lower levels of glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) in kidney, while at 30 days occurred downregulation at 8° C compared with 4°C. The heating in 8°C induced the upregulation of citrate synthase (CS) compared with animals kept at 0°C for 15 days. The malate dehydrogenase (MDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) they showed no modulation of their levels due to heating (4°C and 8°C) compared to control in N. rossii, while the glutathione S-transferase (GST) was negatively modulated. Already in N. coriiceps, tissue levels of G6Pase and SOD did not vary significantly in renal tissue with increasing temperature. There was variation in the levels of CS as a result of heating (4°C) and the exposure time, whereas the MDH activity decreased at 4°C (4 days) and 8°C (1 to 4 days). The temperature of 4°C modulated the activity of GST and CAT negatively in N. coriiceps exposed for 4 and 15 days, respectively. At 1 day of exposure at 8°C, the levels of GST markedly reduced compared to 0°C. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in N. rossii showed upregulation due to heating, except in 4 days. Already N. coriiceps showed levels 40% higher of MDA in the group subjected to 4°C for 4 days, while in other times did not change. Therefore, we note that N. coriiceps and N. rossii responds differently to temperature increase, and the mechanisms of metabolic response are differentiated at temperatures of 4°C to 8°C and over the exposure time. Key words: Antarctic fish. Thermal stress. Oxidative stress. Energy metabolism.

Resumo: O objetivo principal deste trabalho é estender o uso de múltiplas extrapolações de Richardson para campos em problemas uni e bidimensionais resolvidos com o método de diferenças finitas. Múltiplas extrapolações em campos permitem obter uma solução com ordem de acurácia mais alta em todos os pontos da malha fina e não somente em determinadas variáveis pontuais. Para tanto, são consideradas: equações de Poisson, advecção-difusão, Laplace e Burgers com condições de contorno de Dirichlet; aproximações numéricas de primeira, segunda e quarta ordens de acurácia; três variáveis de interesse; malhas uniformes com até 1025 nós por direção e nove extrapolações; e precisão quádrupla. A extrapolação de Richardson total (FRE) desenvolvida nesta tese confronta e complementa os resultados apresentados por outro método de extrapolação em campos, encontrado na literatura como extrapolação de Richardson completa (CRE). Os resultados mostram que: para Poisson, múltiplas extrapolações aplicadas com FRE são extremamente eficientes em reduzir o erro de discretização de todos os nós da malha, aumentando em 16 unidades a ordem do esquema numérico com sete extrapolações; para advecção-difusão, Laplace e Burgers, múltiplas extrapolações com os métodos CRE e FRE reduzem o erro de discretização de todos os nós da malha, aumentando em até 2 unidades a ordem do esquema, não importando o número de extrapolações; e FRE reduz mais o erro de discretização de campos do que CRE, exceto em Burgers 1D e 2D, onde CRE apresentou os menores erros.

Full textAbstract:
The novel has often been viewed as instantiating the alienation of the self from society, replacing the involved pre-modern self with an inward-turning ‘subject’. Ian Watt’s influential characterisation of the novel form, and particularly Richardson’s work, is that it is ‘individualist and innovating’. The idea that the novel’s ‘primary criterion [is] truth to individual experience’ has coloured subsequent analysis, which has accordingly focussed on the individuality – that is, the isolation or separateness – of Richardson’s characters rather than their connectedness, or sense of community. This thesis attempts to rectify the individualist bias of previous literary criticism. Through detailed textual analysis of Richardson’s conduct book, The Apprentice’s Vade Mecum, and his novels, Pamela, Clarissa, and Sir Charles Grandison, I provide a re-reading of Richardson’s work which reinstates the importance of relationship in the novel with reference to religious and philosophical contexts. Situating Richardson’s work as part of the reaction against the work of Mandeville, I show how religious ideas underpin his representations of the community, gender and the subject. By using the concept of subjectivity, and the subject, rather than the over-determined category of the individual, I show how his novels act as literary figurations of social practice. I argue that these writings offer a theory of human relations in their focus on the subject and its social duties. Locating and critiquing inadequate, immoral and dysfunctional forms of relationship, they offer a social grammar of obligation, morality and self-sacrifice.

Using tools from combinatorics, convex geometry and symplectic geometry, we study the behavior of the Kostka numbers and Littlewood-Richardson coefficients (the type A weight multiplicities and Clebsch-Gordan coefficients). We sh w that both are given by piecewise polynomial functions in the entries of the partitions and compositions parametrizing them, and that the domains of polynomiality form a complex of cones. Interesting factorization patterns are found in the polyomials giving the Kostka numbers. The case of A3 is studied more carefully and involves computer proofs. We relate the description of the domains of polynomiality for the weight multiplicity function to that of the domains for the Duistermaat-Heckman measure from symplectic geometry (a continuous analogue of the weight multiplicity function). As an easy consequence of this work, one obtains simple proofs of the fact the Kostka numbers, and Littlewood-Richardson numbers are given by polynomial functions in the nonnegative integer variable N. Both these results were known previously but have non-elementary proofs involving fermionic formulas for Kostka-Foulkes polynomials and semi-invariants of quivers. Also investigated is a new q-analogue of the Kostant partition function, which is shown to be given by polynomial functions over the relative interiors of the cells of a complex of cones.
(cont.) It arises in the work of Guillemin, Sternberg and Weitsman on quantization with respect to the signature Dirac operator, where they give a formula for the multiplicities of weights in representations associated to twisted signatures of coadjoint orbits which is very similar to the Kostant multiplicity formula, but involves the q = 2 specialization of this q-analogue. We give an algebraic proof of this results, find an analogue of the Steinberg formula for these representations and, in type A, find a branching rule which we can iterate to obtain an analogue of Gelfand-Tsetlin theory.

Full textAbstract:
Le problème de la communication, et pas seulement du danger des liaisons, est au cœur du roman épistolaire de manière générale et de Clarissa de Samuel Richardson en particulier. Sans cesse menacée d'interruption, la communication représentée dans la diégèse du deuxième roman de Richardson influe également sur le sens et relève à ce titre de ce que Janet Altman a appelé l'épistolarité. Cette étude se concentre sur le code de la communication représentée dans l'œuvre et saisit la lettre dans l’économie de l’information toute particulière dont elle participe, à la croisée d'une communication interne entre ses personnages et des exigences d'une communication externe qui voit le matériau épistolaire affluer vers le Lecteur. Elle s'efforce de souligner à quel point le scénario romanesque est informé par la nature des communications au travers desquelles il s’exprime ainsi qu'à travers les communications auxquelles il donne lieu (Clarissa étant l'objet d'âpres négociations entre son auteur et ses lecteurs), tout comme il informe à son tour la nature de ces communications. L'examen de la communication dans et autour du roman de Richardson met en évidence l'existence d'une poétique qui est aussi une économie. L'histoire de Clarissa n'est pas tant l'histoire de ses lettres que celle de ses communicationsThe problem of communication, and not only that of the danger of the liaisons, is at the heart of the epistolary novel in general and of Samuel Richardson's Clarissa in particular. Constantly threatened with interruption, the communication represented in the diegesis of Richardson's second novel also informs meaning and thus belongs to what Janet Altman called epistolarity. This study concentrates on the code of communication represented in the work and endeavors to grasp the letter in its particular economy of communication, at the crossroads of internal communication between its characters and the demands of an external communication that requires that the epistolary material be oriented towards the reader. This study strives to underline to what extent the novelistic scenario is informed by the nature of the communications through which it expresses itself as well as by the communications it produces among its readers in the shape of letters to the author. The examination of communication in and around Richardson's novel bears witness to the existence of a poetics that is also an economy. The history of Clarissa is not so much that of its letters as that of its communications

Full textAbstract:
O século XVIII foi um período de grandes mudanças na estrutura social e econômica vigente. Como conseqüência, a forma de organização do espaço de moradia também se alterou. Houve uma reordenação do espaço doméstico com a criação de lugares privados dentro e fora da casa e a valorização dos jardins ao redor das grandes propriedades rurais inglesas. A ascensão da nova classe média e um crescente interesse pela introspecção e privacidade propiciaram a formação destes espaços reservados ao isolamento. A partir do surgimento do romance na primeira metade do século XVIII, o espaço doméstico viu-se valorizado e descrito com mais atenção na narrativa literária. Este cuidado em retratar a vida doméstica na literatura surgiu a partir do desejo de representar a vida dos homens comuns de modo mais autêntico. Em Pamela, romance do escritor inglês Samuel Richardson publicado pela primeira vez na Inglaterra em 1740, observamos esta ênfase no espaço interior do recolhimento e da introspecção. A relação que se estabelece entre as personagens e o espaço dentro do romance é vital para a construção do enredo.Great social and economic changes were brought about in the eighteenth-century causing, among other alterations, the rearrangement of the living spaces in the houses. This reorganization of the domestic space was responsible for the creation of private spaces inside and outside the great English country houses together with an improvement in the surrounding gardens. At that time the new middle classes were gaining more and more political and economic power and developing a taste for privacy, which required the creation of specific places inside and outside the houses for the enjoyment of the pleasures of isolation and introspection. With the rise of the novel in the first half of the eighteenth century, this domestic space was also valued, pictured and described with more attention in literature. This increasing interest in the domestic life is associated with a wish to portray the everyday lives of ordinary men with greater authenticity. In Pamela, a novel by Samuel Richardson published for the first time in England in 1740, this emphasis in the private space of isolation and introspection is clearly depicted. The deep correlation between space and characters in the novel is vital for the development of the plot.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines Richardson's representation in Clarissa of the heroine's triumphant death. It considers Clarissa's triumph in relation to the implicit doctrine of freedom of the will and the constitution of the self. Clarissa and Lovelace represent the uncontrollable freedom of the human will and exemplify its potentiality either to choose the good or to subject itself to the desire for power and self-gratification. Chapter one of this thesis discusses Clarissa in relation to the theories of several current literary theoreticians whose work constitutes a response to Kant's ideas on freedom and ethical decisions. The remaining chapters seek through close reading and interpretation of key scenes in the novel to understand what Richardson meant to represent through Clarissa's triumphant death. The argument reassesses Richardson's use of exemplary figures to embody his spiritual and moral ideas. It addresses the problem of ambiguity in Clarissa's forgiveness of her persecutors. Richardson's representation of Clarissa's triumph has both worldly and spiritual aspects. Acting always in accordance with principled choice (second-order evaluations), Clarissa resists all attempts to subjugate her; she reconstitutes her identity to become a Christian heroine. She achieves spiritual transcendence through penitence for her errors, forgiveness of those who have injured her and complete resignation to the will of God. Lovelace's misuse of free will and his refusal to relinquish his libertine identity and reform lead to his final worldly and spiritual defeat. Through their lives and deaths Clarissa and Lovelace demonstrate that individuals are responsible for the choices they make, for the identities they establish, and that they must accept the consequences of their choices.

Full textAbstract:
In March of 1987, the Geologic Survey of Canada conducted a major seismic refraction experiment in the Mackenzie Delta-Southern Beaufort Sea-Northern Yukon area. This study involves the analysis of a portion of the resulting data set. A 2D velocity profile through the Richardson Mountains of the northern Yukon has been constructed using raytracing to model the travel-times and amplitudes. The line is approximately 320 km long, running from a shotpointon the Eagle Plains in the south to one 50 km offshore in Mackenzie Bay to the north, with an average receiver spacing of 3.5 km. An additional shotpoint is located at Shingle Point, on the shore of Mackenzie Bay.
A series of four sedimentary basins separated by major structural highs produces a complex
basement structure. Two distinct upper crustal layers were modelled, a 5.95 km/s layer overlying a 6.3 km/s layer, as well as a lower crustal layer with a velocity of 7.25 km/s. Crustal velocity gradients are low (≤ 0.005 s⁻¹). The 6.3 km/s layer pinches out beneath the Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin in the north, accompanied by a thinning of the lower crust from a thickness of 20 km in the south to less than 10 km beneath MB. This results in the crust as a whole thinning from a thickness of 50 km under the Richardson Mountains to only 40 km under the Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin. The velocity of the upper mantle is 7.95 km/s.
The modelling of shear wave arrivals indicate Poisson's ratios of 0.23 ±0.02 in the upper crust and 0.25 + 0.02 in the lower crust.Science, Faculty of
