Depth Dimension

In NTQ4 and 5 David Hornbrook offered a two-part analysis of the purposes, practices, and projected future of drama teaching in schools. Discussion continued in NTQ7 and 8, with responses to Hornbrook's suggestions from a number of other practitioners in the area. Among them was Jon Nixon, currently research fellow in the Division of Education at Sheffield University, who now continues the debate with an article in which he provides a broader perspective, presenting a functional rather than theoretical model of classroom practice. This, he suggests, takes a three-dimensional form: drama as social interaction, as discourse, and as a mode of cognition – or what he calls the ‘depth dimension’ which ‘complements our various ways of knowing’. He concludes that drama should not by necessity be consigned to the margins of ‘the arts’, but be recognized for the vital role it can play not only in the whole humanities cirriculum but, crucially, in the cross-curricular development of communication and expressive skills.

In animal cells, the centrosome functions as the primary microtubule organizing center (MTOC). As such the centrosome plays a vital role in determining a cell's shape, migration, and perhaps most importantly, its division. Despite the obvious importance of this organelle little is known about centrosomal regulation, duplication, or how it nucleates microtubules. Furthermore, no high resolution model for centrosomal structure exists.We have used automated electron tomography, and reconstruction techniques in an attempt to better understand the complex nature of the centrosome. Additionally we hope to identify nucleation sites for microtubule growth.Centrosomes were isolated from early Drosophila embryos. Briefly, after large organelles and debris from homogenized embryos were pelleted, the resulting supernatant was separated on a sucrose velocity gradient. Fractions were collected and assayed for centrosome-mediated microtubule -nucleating activity by incubating with fluorescently-labeled tubulin subunits. The resulting microtubule asters were then spun onto coverslips and viewed by fluorescence microscopy.

AbstractThe creation of synthetic polymer nanoobjects with well-defined hierarchical structures is important for a wide range of applications such as nanomaterial synthesis, catalysis, and therapeutics. Inspired by the programmability and precise three-dimensional architectures of biomolecules, here we demonstrate the strategy of fabricating controlled hierarchical structures through self-assembly of folded synthetic polymers. Linear poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) of different lengths are folded into cyclic polymers and their self-assembly into hierarchical structures is elucidated by various experimental techniques and molecular dynamics simulations. Based on their structural similarity, macrocyclic brush polymers with amphiphilic block side chains are synthesized, which can self-assemble into wormlike and higher-ordered structures. Our work points out the vital role of polymer folding in macromolecular self-assembly and establishes a versatile approach for constructing biomimetic hierarchical assemblies.

Forging Load

In this series of papers, a theoretical model based on the upper bound elemental technique is presented for prediction of forging load and metal flow in three-dimensional closed-die forging processes. Three basic elements are introduced in order to partition a forging into simple elementary regions. An optimum velocity distribution within the forging is obtained by minimizing the total rate of energy dissipation using a simplex optimizing procedure. Applications of the proposed model are discussed in Part 2.

This report describes the theory and operation of a pulsed-probe anemometer designed to measure steady three-dimensional velocity fields typical of pulmonary tracheo-bronchial airflows. Local velocities are determined by measuring the transport time and orientation of a thermal pulse initiated at an upstream wire and sensed at a downstream wire. The transport time is a reproducible function of velocity and the probe wire spacing, as verified by a theoretical model of convective heat transfer. When calibrated the anemometer yields measurements of velocity accurate to ±5 percent and resolves flow direction to within 1 deg at airspeeds ≥10 cm/s. Spatial resolution is ±0.5 mm. Measured flow patterns typical of curved circular pipes are included as examples of its application.

Hele Shaw Cell

Droplet movement by electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) in a Hele-Shaw cell is analysed theoretically and numerically. We propose a simple theoretical model for the motion, which describes well the voltage dependency of droplet speed below the saturation voltage as measured experimentally. The simulation method for numerical analyses is constructed by using the Young–Lippmann equation to represent EWOD and the generalised Navier boundary condition to represent the moving contact line in the context of the front-tracking method. With an adjusted slip parameter, the present full three-dimensional numerical simulation reproduces well the shape evolution and movement speed of droplets as observed experimentally. We verify the proposed theoretical model in numerical experiments with various shapes and voltages. Furthermore, we analyse theoretically the behaviour of the contact line at the onset of droplet motion as observed in the simulation and experiment, and we are able to estimate very well the time scale on which the contact angle changes.

The Social

Inventing the Social, edited by Noortje Marres, Michael Guggenheim and Alex Wilkie, showcases recent efforts to develop new ways of knowing society that combine social research with creative practice. With contributions from leading figures in sociology, architecture, geography, design, anthropology, and digital media, the book provides practical and conceptual pointers on how to move beyond the customary distinctions between knowledge and art, and on how to connect the doing, researching and making of social life in potentially new ways. Presenting concrete projects with a creative approach to researching social life as well as reflections on the wider contexts from which these projects emerge, this collection shows how collaboration across social science, digital media and the arts opens up timely alternatives to narrow, instrumentalist proposals that seek to engineer behaviour and to design community from scratch. To invent the social is to recognise that social life is always already creative in itself and to take this as a starting point for developing different ways of combining representation and intervention in social life.

Liquid Mass Flow Rate

Abstract The Steam turbine is widely used for generating electricity, in the thermal, nuclear and geothermal power generation systems. A wet loss is known as one of the degrading factors of the performance. To reduce the amount of liquid phase generated by condensation and atomization from nozzles, the prediction of the distribution of liquid mass flow rate inside the turbine is important. However, the quantitative understanding and the prediction method of the liquid flow inside the turbine remain unclear because physics inside a turbine is consisting of complex multiscale and multiphase events. In the present study, we proposed a theoretical model predicting the motion of droplet particles in gas flow based on Stokes number whose model does not require numerical simulation. We also conducted the numerical validation test using three-dimensional Eulerian-Lagrangian simulation for the problem with turbine blade T106. The numerical simulation shows that the particle motion is characterized by the Stokes number, that is consistent with the assumption of the theoretical model and previous studies. When Stokes number is smaller than one, the particle trajectory just follows the gas flow streamline and avoids the impacts on the surface of T106. With increasing Stokes number, the particles begin to deviate from the gas flow. As a result, many particles collide with the surface of T106 when the Stokes number is approximately one. When the Stokes number is extremely larger than one, particles move straight regardless of the background gas flow. The good agreements between the theoretical predictions and numerical experiment results justify the use of our proposed theoretical model for the prediction of the particle flow around the turbine blade.

The Relationship

Based on a description of the built and networked ecologies of urban infrastructure, this chapter reflects on how the interdependent and interactive elements of multimodal composition can be productively understood metaphorically and practically as infrastructure. The argument advanced here is that this framing of multimodal composition provides an adaptive theoretical model adequately flexible to adjust to emergent communicative modes and technologies and move beyond advocacy and rationale to a description of how multimodal composition, regardless of the specific media deployed, develops particular kinds of deployments and effects. It further suggests how infrastructure can help define certain characteristics of the multimodal text, in particular: (1) the linkage of rhetorical elements, (2) the location of the text, (3) the capacity for nonlinearity, and (4) the affinity for transdisciplinary ways of knowing. This understanding suggests heuristic approaches to multimodal invention and design and finally the relationship between composition and committed and imaginative knowledge.
