In 2005, the hybrid model was published by Prof. H.-D. Alber and Prof. P. Zhu as an alternative to the Allen-Cahn model for the description of phase field transformations. With low interfacial energy, it is more efficient, since the resolution of the diffuse interface is numerically broader for the same solution accuracy and allows coarser meshing. The solutions of both models are associated with energy minimisation and in this work the error terms introduced in the earlier publications are discussed and documented using one and two dimensional numerical simulations. In the last part of this book, phase field problems, initially not coupled with material equations, are combined with linear elasticity and, after simple introductory examples, a growing martensitic inclusion is simulated and compared with literature data. In addition to the confirmed numerical advantage, another phenomenon not previously described in the literature is found: with the hybrid model, in contrast to the examples calculated with the Allen-Cahn model, an inclusion driven mainly by curvature energy does not disappear completely. The opposite problem prevents inclusions from growing from very small initial configurations, but this fact can be remedied by a very finely chosen diffuse interface width and by analysing and adjusting the terms that generate the modelling errors. The last example shows that the hybrid model can be used with numerical advantages despite the above mentioned peculiarities.

This open access book investigates imaginaries of artificial limbs, eyes, hair, and teeth in British and American literary and cultural sources from the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Prosthetic Body Parts in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture shows how depictions of prostheses complicated the contemporary bodily status quo, which increasingly demanded an appearance of physical wholeness. Revealing how representations of the prostheticized body were inflected significantly by factors such as social class, gender, and age, Prosthetic Body Parts in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture argues that nineteenth-century prosthesis narratives, though presented in a predominantly ableist and sometimes disablist manner, challenged the dominance of physical completeness as they questioned the logic of prostheticization or presented non-normative subjects in threateningly powerful ways. Considering texts by authors including Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, and Arthur Conan Doyle alongside various cultural, medical, and commercial materials, this book provides an important reappraisal of historical attitudes to not only prostheses but also concepts of physical normalcy and difference.

This volume presents recent critical work on Edgar Allan Poe and psychology. It began in 2012 after careful consideration of what was lacking in Poe scholarship. Upon months of combing through archives at McGill University, Concordia University, as well as JSTOR I discovered that nothing on Edgar Allan Poe and psychology had come around in many years. After more consideration I posted a Call for Papers and received at least thirty responses from scholars from all areas of the world. Finally, in August 2018I made a selection of the six manuscripts which reflect the current attitudes toward Poe’s work and psychology.

This open access book serves as textbook on the physics of the radiation belts surrounding the Earth. Discovered in 1958 the famous Van Allen Radiation belts were among the first scientific discoveries of the Space Age. Throughout the following decades the belts have been under intensive investigation motivated by the risks of radiation hazards they expose to electronics and humans on spacecraft in the Earth’s inner magnetosphere. This textbook teaches the field from basic theory of particles and plasmas to observations which culminated in the highly successful Van Allen Probes Mission of NASA in 2012-2019. Using numerous data examples the authors explain the relevant concepts and theoretical background of the extremely complex radiation belt region, with the emphasis on giving a comprehensive and coherent understanding of physical processes affecting the dynamics of the belts. The target audience are doctoral students and young researchers who wish to learn about the physical processes underlying the acceleration, transport and loss of the radiation belt particles in the perspective of the state-of-the-art observations.

1848 : Edgar POE écrit EUREKA. Texte insolite, mêlant physique et métaphysique, sorte de machine à produire des sens pour l’ensemble des fictions, des fantaisies, des fantasmes. Selon POE, être poète, c’est, dans l’ordre des mots, devenir l’égal de Dieu. L’œuvre comme le monde possède sa genèse. Les personnages en sont des individus qui voyagent, qui se déplacent aux confins, sur les limites et il suffit d’un rien - miroir, double, mort vivant, diable dans le beffroi - pour que tout bascule. Tout, c’est-à-dire l’identité. Qui est cet autre issu de soi ? Que veut-il ? Quelle réponse possible à cela ? L’état le plus fréquent de l’humain n’est-il pas la catalepsie, cette suspension de l’être dans le vide ? Passages : du même à l’autre, du rêve au réel, de la raison à la folie, de la mort à la vie. Enfin, dernier avatar, de l’humain au divin. Le texte ici présenté se propose d’explorer toutes les errances, grotesques ou sérieuses, où s’aventurent les personnages de POE. Abolition des différences, effacement des bornes, perméabilité des limites : les transgressions s’accumulent. On le voit bien : Usher et Valdemar, Morella et Pym ne sont aux marges que pour les franchir, borderliners hantés par l’œil rond du cyclone, du gouffre ou de la victime. Tous sont guettés par un maëlstrom, flanc tournoyant de la mort qui tue le temps et la raison. Est-il possible d’en sortir, de franchir la passe, de traverser l’épreuve ? Est-il une issue à cette dissolution des êtres ? Oui, à l’évidence : la Création. Il faut donc réinventer le monde. Concurrencer, plagier Dieu, devenir son égal, son double. Au terme de l’errance fantasmatique, nous découvrons ce qui, peut-être, est à l’origine du cri « Eurêka » : l’œuvre de POE est aussi une théologie.

Volontiers snobé par les écrivains, qui pourtant l’ont souvent pratiqué, le roman à clés est suspect. Il ne l’est pas moins aux yeux des universitaires adeptes de l’herméneutique textuelle, qui le réduisent ordinairement à une opération de cryptage par l’écriture et de décryptage par la lecture. Trouver les bonnes clés (noms, lieux, événements) et les ajuster aux bonnes serrures seraient les seuls gestes appelés par ces romans lus en détournant la tête. À rebours de cette double doxa, qui simplifie les mécanismes du genre et l’identifie à un seul de ses nombreux avatars, les contributeurs au présent volume ont relevé le défi d’examiner vraiment, en les prenant au sérieux, un corpus diversifié de romans à clés — de Balzac à Jean-Benoît Puech et Olivier Rolin en passant par Rachilde, Proust et Simone de Beauvoir —, à côté d’autres formes de travail sur la référentialité telles que l’autofiction, les notices biographiques des dictionnaires parodiques, les biographies imaginaires ou encore la métafiction dans le cinéma de Woody Allen. L’attention se trouve ici portée non seulement sur le fonctionnement des œuvres retenues, mais aussi sur les dérèglements, les pratiques ludiques et les enjeux de pouvoir qui s’y cachent. Loin d’être une simple transposition de potins littéraires, le roman à clés ouvre ainsi sur une réflexion touchant aux frontières entre fiction et référence au réel.

Beat Studies represent a vibrant field of intellectual inquiry, and this collection examines Beat culture as deeply infused with ecological themes. Allen Ginsberg invented the term "Flower Power" and Beat texts uncover the sources of our current existential climate predicament. This is the first edited collection to place the Beat Generation in conversation with the environment. A diverse number of contributors from Asia, Europe, and North America addresses essential environmental subjects and the deep ecological vision of the Beats.

We moeten met zijn allen meer sporten. Dagelijks wordt ons dit aangekaart in de media. Obesitas lijkt wel de ziekte van de tijd te zijn en de overheid moet hier meer inspanningen leveren. Een van de belangrijkste doelstellingen tegenwoordig lijkt iedereen aan het bewegen te krijgen. In Vlaanderen sport! geven de auteurs, allen verbonden aan de Onderzoeksgroep Sport- en Bewegingsbeleid van de KU Leuven, een evolutie van de actieve sportbeoefening van de voorbije veertig jaar. We worden om de oren geslagen met allerlei cijfermateriaal en bevindingen. Het werk is een degelijk, wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar de sportbeleving van de Vlamingen en de rol die de overheid daarbij speelt. Het boek is opgedeeld in vijf belangrijke hoofdstukken die telkens grondig worden uitgediept en geïllustreerd met cijfermateriaal, duiding en conclusies. Zowel beleid, onderzoek en plaats van sport in de samenleving als trends in de sportbeoefening komen aan bod. Daarnaast bekijkt men sportbeoefening als een sociaal, een organisatorisch en een economisch gegeven. Alle aspecten worden dus onderzocht: sportdeelname (wie?), sportpopulariteit (wat?), context en locatie (waar?) en uiteindelijk ook het kostenplaatje en de plaats daarvan in de gezinsuitgaven. Meest interessant onderdeel is natuurlijk de uitgebreide synthese achteraan waarin de auteurs de belangrijkste conclusies opsommen. Sommige daarvan liggen voor de hand, andere zijn eerder verrassend. Zo weten we allemaal dat meer Vlamingen dan ooit tevoren aan sport doen en dat vooral vrouwen een sterke inhaalbeweging maken. Maar dat sportparticipatie populairder is bij jongeren uit het ASO of dat steeds meer solosporten opduiken in de top tien is dan eerder verrassend. Of dat een Vlaams huisgezin jaarlijks gemiddeld 1.524 euro aan sport besteedt…
