Car Door Assembly FE Analysis - A Review for NVH Performance Research

When talking about the car door and its importance, all aspects should be considered. Main applications of the door is the protection of passengers from outside weather variations such as air flow, temperatures, dust, side impact, etc. As a part of the car, it is connected to the car body by means of hinges, latch, and weather seals. It is excited by all excitation sources which excite to the vehicle plus vehicle accessories. Car door design evaluation is nothing but simulation of real application of door with different loading and boundary connections. An extensive literature survey and study of technical papers have been done to understand the amount of work done on Car door design evaluation during 2002 - 2022. A mainly top-level study was done to find the number of analysis papers published, the number of papers published per year, and the number of papers published of each type of analysis, and a detailed study was carried out of the papers published on NVH analysis. NVH analysis of a Car door itself is a broad area for study and research. To make it simple and streamline NVH analysis papers are sub-divided into further classes that are modal analysis, vibration and noise analysis, correlation of modal, vibration, noise, and other NVH analysis results. A thorough review of published papers provided an inside picture of the subject, the current status of Car door NVH, and the scope of future research on Car door.

What emotions do male prisoners experience in the lead-up to suicide and violence? A participatory visual method study

ABSTRACT Rates of suicide and violence are higher amongst male prisoners than the general population. This study aimed to explore the emotional experiences of male prisoners in the distal and immediate lead-up to acts of suicide and violence. Nine male prisoners created drawings of their emotions in the lead-up to an act of suicide and/or violence. Accompanying verbal interview data was collected to explore the narrative of these drawings. Polytextual thematic analysis was conducted on both the visual and audio data. Three themes were found. ‘The outside picture’ depicted the emotions that male prisoners exhibited externally. ‘The inside picture’ illustrated the internal emotions felt by male prisoners which were often complex and abstract. ‘The complexity of the picture’ denotes the complicated relationship between emotions and suicide/violence. Male prisoners experience a range of emotions in the lead up to acts of suicide and violence, with a similar set of emotions being experienced immediately prior to both suicide and violence. This study has illustrated the benefits of using a novel and creative methodology, and has demonstrated that future research with male prisoners could benefit from adopting a participatory visual methodology.

Inductively coupled plasma with mass-spectrometry method development and validation for gadolinium in gadolinium-based contrast agents of pharmaceutical formulations

Gadolinium-based contrast agent interacts with the human body temporarily and improves the pictures of inside of the body produced by magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, X-rays and ultrasound and it also helps to distinguish the normal from abnormal conditions. In this study, the authors developed a simple, rapid, reliable and robust inductively coupled plasma mass-spectrometry method for estimation of gadolinium in gadolinium-based contrast agents to check the drug quality and ensure the patient safety. The samples were digested at 160°C using the microwave digestion system and the gadolinium was extracted in 0.4% (w/w) nitric acid. Interference of deposited gadolinium on sample cone and skimmer cone were investigated and evaluated. The developed method was validated as per ICH Q2 (R1) guideline and USP<730>. The precision was evaluated with six independent assays of gadolinium in each gadolinium-based contrast agent. The test method was found linear (r2 > 0.999) with five different levels covered from 25~200%, and accurate, mean recoveries were 92.5~107.5% at three different levels covered from 50~150%. The robustness was performed by changing the nitric acid concentration (0.4±0.04%, w/w) in diluent system. This method is suitable to quantitatively determine the amount of gadolinium in gadolinium-based contrast agent of drug products in presence of excipients used in formulation and also in drug substance.

Study of Image Morphing

Changing clarifies an empowered change to each other picture. Changing uses picture prepare structures, for example, turning and cross dissolving. On a very basic level the term changing is gotten from picture change which courses of action to change a photo into another photo. In changing there are two pictures in which the govern picture is wound a tad bit at once into the second. Oppositely the second picture will deform into first. Amidst the time spent mis honing an extensively captivating picture is made which is a typical of the central source picture reshape to the second picture and the unmistakable way. The inside picture might be seen as the key picture that gives an idea how the whole course of action might be made. This paper reviews the photo changing structures in light of the examination that has been had the spot in present day time and change of this range.

The Transformative Effects of Public-Private Partnerships: An Inside View of Good Government Under Mayors Voinovich and Jackson

This paper focuses on two mayoral-led public-private partnerships designed to renew good government in Cleveland, Ohio: Mayor George Voinovich’s Operations Improvement Task Force (OITF) (1979–1982) and Mayor Frank Jackson’s Operations Efficiency Task Force (OETF) (2006–2009). The Voinovich OITF public-private partnership enabled Cleveland to “come back” after the city’s 1978 default. The Jackson OETF public-private partnership successfully right-sized Cleveland in relationship to its much smaller population needs during challenging economic times without disruptions in service. The authors use three data sources, including interviews with both mayors and their key partnership managers, to gain a complete inside picture of each mayoral-led public-private partnership. The paper concludes with the lessons learned and the governance implications of a mayoral-led public-private partnership in fostering a long-term (transformative) administrative change. This paper shows how both mayoral-led public-private partnerships quietly transformed Cleveland’s government to meet the demands of fewer resources, greater complexity, more transparency, and more timely decisions in the delivery of public services to citizens.

Coargumenthood and the processing of reflexives

We report three eye-movement experiments and an antecedent choice task investigating the interpretation of reflexives in different syntactic contexts. This included contexts in which the reflexive and a local antecedent were coarguments of the same verbal predicate (John heard that the soldier had injured himself), and also so-called picture noun phrases, either with a possessor (John heard about the soldier’s picture of himself) or without (John heard that the soldier had a picture of himself). While results from the antecedent choice task indicated that comprehenders would choose a nonlocal antecedent (‘John’ above) for reflexives in either type of picture noun phrase, the eye-movement experiments suggested that participants preferred to initially interpret the reflexive in each context as referring to the local antecedent (‘the soldier’), as indexed by longer reading times when it mismatched in gender with the reflexive. We also observed a difference in the time-course of this effect. While it was observed during first-pass processing at the reflexive for coargument reflexives and those in picture noun phrases with a possessor, it was comparatively delayed for reflexives in possessorless picture noun phrases. These results suggest that locality constraints are more strongly weighted cues to retrieval than gender agreement for both coargument reflexives and those inside picture noun phrases. We interpret the observed time-course differences as indexing the relative ease of accessing the local antecedent in different syntactic contexts.

MicroCT X-ray Imaging of Water Movement in a PEM Fuel Cell

Micro CT was used to look through the graphite flow channels to provide accurate pictures of water inside of an operating PEM fuel cell. Water was observed emerging as water droplets on the surface of gas diffusion layer. Drops in both hydrophobic and hydrophilic flow channels were found to distort from the expected spherical shape before they started to move. However, drops in hydrophobic flow fields did not detach from the diffusion layer before moving, whereas water in the hydrophilic channel formed a thin water layer at the bottom of the channel. This is believed to be due to the role of the channel side walls, as well as possible non-uniformities in the flow channel surface.

The Construction of Identity on the Internet

This article is based on an ethnographic study carried out by the author on children and young people’s diaries in a Swedish web community called ‘Youngsters’. Its goal is to provide an insight into what some children write in their diaries in this web community and what the favourite topics are as depicted in these narratives. The focus is on the children’s voice and notions about their life: family, friends and schooling. The issues raised in the article also relate to advantages gained by using the internet as an engaging and interactive research arena by and for children. Results indicate that, in spite of all the risks and moral panic related to children’s internet usage, it is possible to gain access to children’s own accounts of their life and to get an ‘inside picture’ of their thoughts by studying the self-presentations and diaries they create in a web community. The importance of these diaries, the author emphasizes, is in the fact that they are written by children for other children.

The New(er) Critics are Coming

New Voices in Children's Literature Criticism, ed. Sebastien Chapleau. Lichfield, Staffordshire, UK: Pied Piper Publishing, 2004. The title made me smile: New Voices in Children's Literature Criticism. The presence of new voices, I realized, necessarily signaled the unspoken assumption of old voices. In the world of children's literature as an academic discipline, the very existence of an older generation of scholars is a novelty. Hence the initial smile. But at this point I would also like to say that I remained cheerful as I read through the entire slim volume (128 pages) of essays. Despite the fact that the fourteen essays in the collection are all very short (less than ten pages each), they demonstrate what is best about the current state of children's literature scholarship. All are well researched and well written, and cover a wide range of contemporary critical discourses: gender and queer theory, feminist theory, race, cultural production (publishing), ideology, postcolonial discourse, textual analysis, constructions of childhood, adult/child relations (stemming from reader response theory), methodologies and translation. Slim as the volume itself is, the essays map quite a large area of the critical landscape of children's literature scholarship as it has been unfolding in these first years of the twenty-first century. Although all the essays are written in English, their authors demonstrate that scholarship in the field is now multinational. Let me begin at the beginning: New Voices opens with old(er) voices—Peter Hunt and Perry Nodelman. Though both have just retired from their respective institutions, Peter from the University of Wales, Cardiff and Perry from the University of Winnipeg in Manitoba—they're not that old. Both are, however (I trust they'll forgive me for saying so), among the "founding fathers" of contemporary literary scholarship in children's literature. Both are literary scholars who spent their working lives in English departments, which have not, until recently, been particularly hospitable places for children's literature scholarship or teaching. There had been scattered courses and programs, and there had been scholarly journals such as Signal, Children's Literature, and The Lion and the Unicorn, but it wasn't until the 1990s that the scholarly apparatus in the field began to acquire [End Page 246] the critical mass necessary to support the academic discipline of children's literature studies. And it appears that within the next few years, there will be several new massive scholarly reference works (currently in production) on children's literature in print. All will take as normal the idea that children's literature studies include scholarship in education, library science, visual literacy, publishing, book history, educational history, and a number of contemporary theoretical discourses including gender theories, cultural studies, semiotics, ideology, and reader response theories. But that "new normal" has been hard won—which brings me to Perry's introductory essay. The title of Perry's essay, "Like There's No Books About Anything," is a quotation from Madonna—an explanation of her reasons for getting into the business of writing children's books. She didn't like what she saw, so she figured it was something anyone could do (rather like being a rock star). Children's literature criticism has often suffered from the same kind of anyone-can-do it attitude—as in, for example, Inside Picture Books (Yale, 1999) by Ellen Handler Spitz. A lecturer by trade in art and psychology, Spitz wrote about picture books, assuming that she didn't have to do any critical reading on the subject—so she didn't bother with work by Perry or by Jane Doonan, for example, on picture books. The newer voices in New Voices make no such assumptions. They do their homework. As Peter Hunt points out in his essay, "The Knowledge: What Do You Need to Know to Know Children's Literature," a children's literature scholar needs to know a lot about a lot of different things—though the "bewildering range of subjects and approaches" (11) may initially be overwhelming...

Internal Journeys of College Presidents: Diary Reflections About Leadership and Values

The ideas and thoughts of college and university presidents are most frequently and primarily known through their public roles and rhetoric. Over the past few years nearly three dozen college and university presidents have written diaries for public view as part of the Journal of College and Character. These presidential reflections provide a unique and rare opportunity to gain a behind-the-scenes view of the contemporary presidency, and of the leadership and values of presidents. This article is based on research of the words and impressions of these presidents in these public diaries. Using the perspectives revealed by the presidents, the article assesses, analyzes, and compares and contrasts the major themes which emerge and the content of their reflections. This assessment contributes additional understanding of the presidency by developing an inside picture of presidential thought about the issues with which they regularly grapple. The diaries are an important lens presenting a significant set of accounts and vantage points about what presidents contemplate. We are able to obtain provisional answers to questions such as: What things create and cause unavoidable and sometimes constant tensions and pressures? What do we know about what presidents really think? What do we know about their private reflections about the curses and blessings of the great weight of responsibility they bear in leading colleges and universities? What are the things which concern these presidents as leaders and individuals? How are they trying to exert leadership to the nation’s campuses? The reflections in these diaries are of interest because they provide a glimpse of the internal journeys and musings of presidents. These presidents have used this medium to share thinking about the broader implications of what they are doing, how they are leading, what leadership itself is all about and what is required of the leader, not to mention the simple, routine things presidents face in day-to-day life. We also view a picture of remarkable moments and instances, revealing significant candor and disclosure in the stories of their leadership and aspects of presidential leadership much more from “inside” the ivory tower than that commonly and normally observable. The presidents thus contribute significantly to understandings of the office they hold, of the importance which the presidency continues to bear for the hopes and aspirations of our colleges and universities, and of the way in which presidents of today will shape the future of the college and university presidency itself.

Inside Picture Books, Outside of History

In her preface Ellen Handler Spitz explains, This book is for mothers, fathers, grandparents, teachers, therapists, and (xiii). Though Inside Picture Books names scholars among its intended audiences and has been published by university press, it does not appear to be directed at those who study children's literature. Rarely does it acknowledge any critical work on the subject and, in Jennifer K. Ruark's Chronicle of Higher Education profile of the author, both Spitz and Ruark convey the impression that taking picture books seriously is new and courageous idea.1 Indeed, Spitz's study never once mentions Barbara Bader, Perry Nodelman, or virtually any of her predecessors. If Inside Picture BooL· has not been written for scholars, perhaps one should adopt the perspective of an imagined general reader —say, the parents, teachers, and therapists mentioned in the preface —and evaluate the work from that viewpoint. Acknowledging the subjectivity of [her] criteria, Spitz says that she has chosen texts based on their psychological richness (13) and staying power (8), and casual fan of children's picture books should enjoy her analyses of well-known works. For example, her perception of Holocaust imagery in Maurice Sendak's In the Night Kit^n (60-61) and discussion of gender in several works—including Russell Hoban's Bedtime for Frances (25, 55-56) and Dr. Seuss's Horton Hatches the Egg (177-80) — invite readers to think about the cultural knowledge that children absorb from what they read. Indeed, should Inside Picture Books encourage even few more readers to consider children's books with the same thoughtfulness often reserved for adult books, it will have done great service. Most reviewers in major newspapers appear to agree. Writing in the Times of London, the illustrator Quentin Blake calls Inside Picture BooL· a valuable contribution to subject which asks for serious consideration. Though Marina Warner's New York Times review does note the absence of Nodelman's Words About Pictures, the piece concludes by

Charlotte Delbo's Voice: The Conscious and Unconscious Determinants of a Woman Writer

Charlotte Delbo's Voice: The Conscious and Unconscious Determinants of a Woman Writer Nicole Thatcher Rentrer du camp rentrer dans le rang après l'histoire le tous les jours après le maquis le traintrain de la vie. [..·] Sortir de l'histoire pour entrer dans la vie essayez donc vous autres et vous verrez. (Mesure de nos jours, 82) THESE VERSES, WRITTEN AFTER Charlotte Delbo's return to France from Nazi concentration camps, encapsulate the considerable shift in the relationship of women with war brought by World War II. The total war character of this conflict gave women the opportunity to play an increasing role in the action: not only did they participate in the war effort through their work, but they also appeared as combatants, even in commanding positions in the case of the Soviet armed forces. Furthermore, as Billie Melman reminds us, with the German occupation of many countries, such as France in 1940, "the impact of the war on entire populations blurred the borderlines between 'front' and 'rear' in their gendered perspective,"1 allowing women, like men, to take an active part in the war in non-traditional ways, one being underground resistance. In this newly defined battlefield, women were able to make a personal decision to join the fight, with the accompanying risks of injury, arrest, imprisonment, torture and death. It was very consciously that Delbo chose to become involved in the French Communist resistance. Abandoning the South American tour of Louis Jouvet's theatrical company, in which she held the post of Jouvet's secretary, she rejoined her husband, Georges Dudach, in Paris, in November 1941. There, attached to the Communist underground resistance movement, they both worked at publishing clandestine material. Arrested by the French police in May 1942, and imprisoned in La Santé, they were transferred to the Gestapo. Dudach was executed in May 1942 and Delbo sent to Romainville prison, and from there to Auschwitz-Birkenau, in January 1943, in a convoy of 230 women. Delbo's involvement in the French resistance and her 35 months of capVol . XL, No. 2 41 L'Esprit Créateur tivity may have been a short period in her lifetime (1913-1985), but they were a watershed which affected her to the end of her life. In this essay, I aim to analyse how her writings reflect her war experience and what singularises them as feminine, although Delbo declared that she was not a woman in her writing.21 will look firstly, and more particularly, at the representation of her specific experience in a Nazi extermination-concentration camp, and secondly at her view of war, with its accompanying concepts of patriotism, sacrifice and heroism. The predominant representation of war in Delbo's writings is that of the Nazi concentrationary universe, and more particularly of Auschwitz-Birkenau : it is a firsthand account of her own and other women's experience. This character of participatory witness of war until recently was mainly the prerogative of men, and consequently "sets apart her representation, alongside that of other ex-detainee women writers." However, having segregated them, the Nazis did not treat women and men differently in concentration camps, and thus it would seem that a woman's account should be similar to a man's: women and men were both subjected to ill-treatment, strenuous physical and often senseless work, in abysmal conditions of hygiene, nutrition and accommodation . They were made to work to the limits of their physical strength, before dying of exhaustion, lack of food, water and medical care. However, as Marlene E. Heinemann remarks: "Even the most impartial and sensitive male observer will be unable to provide an inside picture of women's experiences in the Nazi camps, since male and female prisoners were segregated in separate camps."3 Thus the singularity of Delbo's representation results in part from the segregation of men from women. It is a convoy of women and a women's extermination camp, Birkenau, placed under the supervision of female guards and SS that Delbo makes us "see," in her trilogy Auschwitz et après4 in particular; it is her experience and that of other women detainees that she makes us share...

Between Silk and Cyanide: A Codemaker's War, 1941-1945

In 1942, with a black-market chicken tucked under his arm by his mother, Leo Marks left his father's famous bookshop, 84 Charing Cross Road, and went off to fight war. He was twenty-two. Soon recognized as a cryptographer of genius, he became head of communications at Special Operations Executive (SOE), where he revolutionized codemaking techniques of Allies and trained some of most famous agents dropped into occupied Europe. As a top codemaker, Marks had a unique perspective on one of most fascinating and, until now, little-known aspects of Second World War. This stunning memoir, often funny, always gripping and acutely sensitive to human cost of each operation, provides a unique inside picture of extraordinary SOE organization at work and reveals for first time many unknown truths about conduct of war. SOE was created in July 1940 with a mandate from Winston Churchill to set Europe ablaze. Its main function was to infiltrate agents into enemy-occupied territory to perform acts of sabotage and form secret armies in preparation for D-Day. Marks's ingenious codemaking innovation was to devise and implement a system of random numeric codes printed on silk. Camouflaged as handkerchiefs, underwear, or coat linings, these codes could be destroyed message by message, and therefore could not possibly be remembered by agents, even under torture. Between Silk and Cyanide chronicles Marks's obsessive quest to improve security of agents' codes and how this crusade led to his involvement in some of war's most dramatic and secret operations. Among astonishing revelations is his account of code war between SOE and theGermans in Holland. He also reveals for first time how SOE fooled Germans into thinking that a secret army was operating in Fatherland itself, and how and why he broke code that General de Gaulle insisted be available only to Free French. By end of this incredible tale, truly one of last great World War II memoirs, it is clear why General Eisenhower credited SOE, particularly its communications department, with shortening war by three months. From difficulties of safeguarding messages that led to destruction of atomic weapons plant at Rjukan in Norway to surveillance of Hitler's long-range missile base at Peenemunde to true extent of Nazi infiltration of Allied agents, Between Silk and Cyanide sheds light on one of least-known but most dramatic aspects of war. Writing with narrative flair and vivid characterization of his famous screenplays, Marks gives free rein to his keen sense of absurd and wry wit without ever losing touch with very human side of story. His close relationship with the White Rabbit and Violette Szabo -- two of greatest British agents of war -- and his accounts of many others he dealt with result in a thrilling and poignant memoir that celebrates individual courage and endeavor, without losing sight of human cost and horror of war.

Inside picture books

Mention a name from a beloved childhood picture book--Madeline, Corduroy, Peter Rabbit, Max and his wild things--and most adults can recollect a bright image, fragments of a story, the timbre of a certain voice, the sensation of being held, and best of all being together with someone and enveloped in fantasy. Why do picture book images shown to us as young children linger in our minds? How do picture books shape our lives early on and even later into adulthood? This book takes up such questions. It explores the profound impact of the experience of to children. Ellen Handler Spitz reveals how classic picture books transmit psychological wisdom, convey moral lessons, shape tastes, and implant subtle prejudices. Each chapter of the book discusses well-known children's books--Goodnight Moon, Babar, Little Black Sambo, to name a few--that deal with a theme of importance to young children. These include bedtime, separation, loss, and death; curiosity, disobedience, and punishment; and identity and self-acceptance. Focusing on the relationship between a child and an adult reader, Spitz explains the notion of conversational reading and emphasizes the mutual benefits of dialogue and intimacy. This book not only gives parents, grandparents, teachers, therapists, and scholars a new understanding of the meaning of picture books, it also empowers adults to interpret and choose future cultural experiences for their children.

Hephaistos Rides Again

A small Corinthian phiale mesomphalos of which a few joining sherds were found at Perachora, had been decorated outside with animals in a rather perfunctory style, and inside with a figure-scene, a frieze with the figures' feet towards the centre of the bowl (plate XXIIIa). The surface was finished differently inside and outside, a striking instance, as J. K. Brock points out, of variation in technique without chronological implications. Surface-finish and painted decoration together also exemplify how a change in the entire approach of Corinthian artists—both potter and painter, in this case—will often accompany a change of subject-matter. The filling-ornaments enhance the difference: outside, a rather dense filling of the usual solid shapes; inside, a dot-rosette only.The subject of the inside picture is described as ‘three padded dancers, the one in the middle holding a horn’. Padded dancers are undoubtedly present, the best-preserved figure (on the right) is wholly typical, except for his excited gesture indicating that something unusual is afoot. But his neighbour is different. Nude, slim-waisted, strong-limbed, he comes striding in from the left, turning his head towards the quarter whence he came. He too has lively arms, their length expressively exaggerated; in his right hand he holds what could certainly be a misdrawn horn, though it should be said that padded dancers take better care of their drink.

A Hoplitodromos Cup

The Attic red-figured cup reproduced in Plates 5, 7a and Fig. I was formerly in the Wyndham Cook collection at Richmond and was acquired by the Ashmolean Museum in 1947. My thanks are due to the Keeper of the Antiquarium, Mr. D. B. Harden, for permission to publish it. The photographs are by Mr. H. N. Newton. The inside picture has been figured already, in the Burlington Catalogue for 1903, pl. 92, G 17, and in the Ashmolean Report for 1947, pl. 3, a. The outside is unpublished, but was briefly described by Norman Gardiner in JHS XXIII 288–9. The date is about 480 B.C., the artist the Triptolemos Painter (VA 99 no. 18; AttV 154 no. 19; ARV 242 no. 35). Diameter 0.237, height 0.095. Some of the cups decorated by the Triptolemos Painter, as Bloesch has shown, were fashioned by Euphronios (FAS 73-8), and the shape of the Oxford cup is at least not far from the work of that potter.
