Performing Feminine Aging: The Marschallin’s Body in <i>Der Rosenkavalier</i>

To Be Forever Young? Towards Reframing Corporeal Subjectivity in Maturity

In this paper I examine the relationship between the body in midlife and subjectivity in contemporary western cultures, drawing on both social constructionist and psychoanalytic perspectives. Referring to recent theoretical accounts, I take the position that how we are aged by culture begins in midlife, and that this period is therefore critical in understanding how the body-subject in western ...

Environmental Effects on Mechanical Properties of Glass/Epoxy and Fiber Metal Laminates, Part I: Hygrothermal Aging

In this article, the effect of hygrothermal aging on mechanical properties of fiber metal laminates (FMLs) and E-glass/epoxy (GE) composites is investigated. First, FML and GE specimens were built using wet lay-up technique under vacuum pressure. Hygrothermal aging simulation was then carried out on both specimen types in distilled water at a constant temperature of 90 °C for 5 weeks. The resul...

Modifications of Internal Molecular Structures of Asphalt Components Due to Physical Aging

The internal structure of a molecule can be presented in terms of intra-molecular (i.e., inter atomic)and inter-molecular energies such as van der Waals, bond and bending, torsion, and inversion energy.In this study, changes in molecular energies of individual asphalt components are evaluated as afunction of physical aging factors. The factors for physical aging such as temperature and pressure...

ALGEBRAIC INDEPENDENCE OF CERTAIN FORMAL POWER SERIES (I)

We give a proof of the generalisation of Mendes-France and Van der Poorten's recent result over an arbitrary field of positive characteristic and then by extending a result of Carlitz, we shall introduce a class of algebraically independent series.
