This article examines the early representations of Prince Albert that either satirize or attempt to reconcile the hierarchical ambiguities and issue of threatened masculinity that resulted from unconventional male consortship and female rule. It concludes that the latter was achieved through the development of a suitable and legible iconography for a nineteenth-century male consort in adherence with British iconographic tradition and values. Drawing from methods in nineteenth-century art history as well as gender and performance studies and anthropology, it argues that images of the male body play a fundamental role in the construction and perpetuation of masculine ideology and subjectivity through the creation of the semblance of an innate and axiomatic masculine archetype. In doing so, this article problematizes and historicizes masculinity by illuminating the plurality of expressions of masculinity and rejecting the essentialist narrative of masculinity as something measurable or quantifiable, as well as ahistorical, atemporal, apolitical and heteronormative.

Abstract Surge pressure relief valve is widely used in oil transportation. When water hammer occurs in the pipeline, the valve shall be opened in time to release the high pressure so as to ensure the safety of the oil pipeline. This paper discusses the structure and principle of the surge relief valve. Combined with the working process, the stress and working state of the main valve and the pilot valve are analyzed. The mechanical model of the pilot valve is established. This paper focuses on the analysis of the parameters affecting the closing process of the main valve. The relevant laws of the structure and performance parameters of the pilot valve to the main valve closing are obtained. The model of relief valve is modeled and simulated in detail by the AMESim software. The dynamic characteristics of the surge relief valve are analyzed and the correctness of the main parameters and rules that affect the main valve closing is verified by using the model. According to the analysis and simulation results, the friction force of the pilot valve can only affect whether the two valves can close normally. The closing time of the main valve is inversely proportional to the diameter of the inlet pressure orifice. In the normal operating range, the closing time of main valve gradually increases with the diameter of outlet pressure pipes, but does not change with the length of outlet pressure pipes.

The Relationship

The relationship between performers and the audience is built on the creation of fictional worlds by the actors and the acceptance of what is real or not within these worlds by both the performer and the actor. Metatheatre, or theatre that is self‐reflexive or aware of its theatricality, fosters a relationship with the audience that is more complex and nuanced than the one that occurs in regular theatre. The created worlds in metatheatre and the characters that populate them can collapse on themselves making the audience’s task of determining the truth more difficult. An audience’s relationship with the performer becomes convoluted when the play is an autobiographical solo show. In this circumstance, the audience expects realness and is less willing to see lines between worlds blur. This presentation will investigate why the audience needs such realness and truth from autobiographical solo shows when it is willing to overlook it so often in other performances. The talk will include an autobiographical performance to exemplify the audience‐performer relationship identified within the presentation.

Humans, as agents, played an active role in the creation and communication of new identities during the Viking period in the Orkney Islands and Iceland. The authors argue that environments are not merely passive backdrops to societal and identity formation but are dynamic contributors in the negotiations that take place when humans settle into new lands. The chapter will focus on the maneuvering and balancing of traditional burial rituals and beliefs within new political, economic, and cosmological landscapes. The comparison of interdisciplinary data from burials, ancient texts, archaeological excavations, and landscape surveys from both regions during the time period of the study will show how the environment aided in the creation and performance of the burial ritual and how the agents’ reshaping of the land helped to form their new identities

Arden Of Faversham

This chapter explores many of the domestic elements that were central to the creation of bourgeois tragedy in Georgian Britain, focusing especially on George Lillo’s Fatal Curiosity (1736) and his posthumous adaptation of Arden of Faversham (1759; with John Hoadly). The chapter begins by broadening the archive of the genre’s source material, situating its eighteenth-century repertoire alongside the true crime narratives it in many cases adapted, as well as early Stuart predecessors, Shakespeare’s Othello (1603), and Restoration she-tragedy. It thereby claims that the genre represents important advances in realism as it was practiced onstage that worked to exploit the intimacy of the home and stage during the period. This chapter also examines a major theme in contemporaneous theorizations of the genre by considering what it means for a play to “strike close to home,” linking that trope to changes in affect, aesthetics, and performance during the period.

In consideration of the rod, the tube, and the liquid column, a 3D dynamic model was established, which could be expressed as a set of partial differential equations. A measured torque curve and a calculated torque curve of Nan1-2-22 oil-well in Daqing oilfield were contrasted with each other which improved the rationality of this model. At last, we researched the influence of the stroke and the frequency of stroke on the displacement of rod, suspension velocity, suspension acceleration, polish rod load, and net torque of gearbox. This 3D dynamic model has a higher calculated accuracy and veracity and could be used to design and optimize the structure of rod pumping and the working process of pumping wells.

AbstractA small group of composers and performers are collaborating orally/aurally on the creation of experimental music that eschews written scores (‘living scores’). By charting the overlaps between working methods and relationships – both social and musical – this article endeavours to shed light on how these practices rub against standard modes of documentation, transmission, scholarship and performance. The article begins by mapping out of the orally transmitted collaborative practices of four composers – Cassandra Miller, Pascale Criton, Éliane Radigue and me – as documented through interviews with prominent performer-collaborators such as Deborah Walker, Silvia Tarozzi, Juliet Fraser and Cat Hope. A guiding metaphor frames these practices as gardens and highlights shared thematic concepts such as extended time, hospitality, note-taking and responsibility.

Resumen: Este artículo presenta una reflexión acerca del edificio del Ministerio de Educación y Salud, en Rio de Janeiro/ Brasil – un proyecto de varios arquitectos brasileños con la colaboración de Le Corbusier. El objetivo es analizar el procesos de la obra a partir de la comparación de tres publicaciones: Œuvre Complete 1934-1938, Brazil Builds: Architecture New and Old: 1652-1942 y Œuvre Complete 1938-1946. Con el análisis de estos tres libros se presenta una visión completa desde el proceso de diseño hasta el final de la construcción. Es decir, puede ser vista la creación de un edificio. Mientras que el primer libro muestra un proyecto incipiente, en la etapa de progreso de ideas y propuestas, el segundo - Brazil Builds - presenta la construcción en proceso. Finalmente, el último libro muestra el diseño final y las fotografías del edificio ya construido, sólo un año después de su finalización. Abstract: This paper discusses the Ministry of Education & Health building in Rio de Janeiro/Brazil - a project developed by several Brazilian architects in collaboration with Le Corbusier. The aim is to analyze the working process by comparing three publications: Œuvre Complete 1934-1938, Brazil Builds: Architecture New and Old: 1652-1942 and Œuvre Complete 1938-1946. The analysis of these three books presents a complete outlook of the building’s design, from its beginning up to its construction. In other words, one can see the creation of a building. While the first book introduces the project in an incipient stage, going through the progress of elaborating ideas and proposals, the second - Brazil Builds - presents the construction process of the building. Finally, the last book presents the final design and photographs of the building already built, just a year after being finished.Palabras clave: Brazil Builds; Le Corbusier; Arquitectura moderna brasileña.
