Hunger as a Constitutive Property of a Culinary Work

In this paper I attempt to show that a certain degree of hunger, intended as a material and psychological condition of the diner, can become a constitutive property of a culinary work. One may believe that the best possible argument supporting this thesis is one relying on the general assertion that an author’s stipulative authority over the features of his or her work, if adequately exercised, is absolute. Quite the contrary, I show that we should prefer a different and more specific argumentative strategy based on the twofold fact that the conventions ruling over culinary works are peculiarly less stringent than in many other art fields, and that hunger has a very special status with regard to culinary works, in the sense that fixing the degree of hunger of the diner may serve to fix the appropriate conditions for any minimally acceptable perceptual experience of a culinary work to take place.

Identification of Process Damping Coefficient Based on Material Constitutive Property

The contact between the tool flank wear land and wavy surface of workpiece causes energy dissipation which influences the tool vibration and chatter stability during a dynamic machining process. The process damping coefficient is affected by cutting conditions and constitutive property of workpiece material. This paper presents a finite element model of dynamic orthogonal cutting process with tool round edge and flank wear land. The process damping coefficient is identified based on the energy dissipation principle. The simulated results are experimentally validated.

Discussion on the Teaching of Multimedia Technology in Higher Vocational Colleges

Multimedia no longer is the traditional auxiliary teaching tool, but to construct one kind of new network teaching environment to create the condition, specially regarding the education socialization, the multimedia networks is one kind of more ideal dissemination tool. Multimedia itself has: The fusion lives, the misalignment, not to have the constitutive property, the negotiation, to be possible mutually, timeliness characteristics and so on editor; Simultaneously utilizes in the education teaching also has its special skill: Favors the information the memory use, is raises the divergent thought the tool, to urge the study individualizing realization. The foothold will develop in the future, uses the multimedia networking, the development teaching experiment.
