Despite a contemporary milieu that emphasises fluidities across gender boundaries and shifting roles, the 75 respondents in the study that informs this paper presented their food auto/biographies as a type of transformation narrative heavily influenced by the continued intersectionalities of gender and class. Respondents utilised ‘common vocabularies’ (Mills 1959) and conformed to cultural scri...

Fig. 2 shows the total electric polarisability x(-d) against aperture depth for four different cases which have the same total area. As the individual aperture size becomes smaller, so does the total polarisability. Fig. 3 illustrates the potential distributions for cases (iii) and (iv) of Fig. 2 when d = 0. It is seen that the potentials retain ahnost plateau shapes within the apertures, while...

Ciliary muscle topography and connective tissue distribution were studied by light microscopy in atropinized, pilocarpinized, or untreated eyes from rhesus monkeys of various ages. With age, the connective tissue ground plate between ciliary muscle and ciliary processes thickens, while there is very little increase in connective tissue within the ciliary muscle. With age, the atropinized muscle...

We simulate the dynamics of fractal star clusters, in order to investigate the evolution of substructure in recently formed clusters. The velocity dispersion is found to be the key parameter determining the survival of substructure. In clusters with a low initial velocity dispersion, the ensuing collapse of the cluster tends to erase substructure, although some substructure may persist beyond t...

Computational simulation and physical experiments are both widely used in testing the response of a structure under earthquake loadings, but physical experiments can be expensive for large problems and numerical may result in the loss of important structural behavior caused by a large amount of assumptions. Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) is a combination of these two approaches, which uses ...

The anchoring of lightness perception was tested in simple visual fields composed of only two regions by placing observes inside opaque acrylic hemispheres. Both side-by-side and center/surround configurations were tested. The results, which undermine Gilchrist and Bonato's (1995) recent claim that surrounds tend to appear white, indicate that anchoring involves both relative luminance and rela...

This paper compares areas between a 6T and 8T SRAM cells, in a dual-Vdd scheme and a dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) scheme. In the dual-Vdd scheme, we predict that the area of the 6T cell keep smaller than that of the 8T cell, over feature technology nodes all down to 32 nm. In contrast, in the DVS scheme, the 8T cell will becomes superior to the 6T cell after the 32-nm node, in terms of the are...

In this paper a new method for determining the search area for motion estimation algorithm based on block matching is suggested. In the proposed method the search area is adaptively found for each block of a frame. This search area is similar to that of the full search (FS) algorithm but smaller for most blocks of a frame. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is analogous to FS in terms of reg...
