The research also aims to demonstrate through previously unknown and unheeded sources that there were not only those English travellers on their Grand Tour of the post-Restoration Bourbon Mezzogiorno （southern Italy） looking for an opportunity of comparing their own civilization （which was considered far superior） to a more fragile reality. There were also other British people who had identified, with a critical eye and spirit of observation, the existence of a Naples and a south Italy which did not merely represent the sum of stereotypes and fallacies handed down through the centuries, and thus refusing the obvious, predictable and false approach given by their own countrymen.展开更多

For example, some synesthetes experience a color when they hear a sound or see a letter. In this paper, I examine two cases of synesthesia in light of the notions of ＂experiential parts＂ and ＂conscious unity.＂ I first provide some background on the unity of consciousness and the question of experiential parts. I then describe two very different cases of synesthesia. Finally, I critically examine the cases in light of two central notions of＂unity.＂ I argue that there is good reason to think that the neural ＂vehicles＂ of conscious states are distributed widely and can include multiple modalities. I also argue that some synesthetie experiences do not really enjoy the same ＂object unity＂ associated with normal vision.展开更多

The method is based on the regularities of Rayleigh wave propagation in solids with initial （residual） stresses. A description of the above mentioned method and examples of stress determination are presented. Examples are considered as applied to the residual stresses arising at electric welding and the operating stresses arising at loading.展开更多

The deposition rate of the InSe thin films is -8.30 nms^-1. InSe samples grown at room temperature have been termed as virgin, whereas the films at which the transition in electrical conductivity is shown to exhibit at a temperature of 415 to 455 K have been termed as phase-transited samples. X-ray diffraction （XRD） study reveals that lnSe thin films are amorphous in nature before phase-transition while they are polycrystalline after phase-transition. Scanning electron microscopy （SEM） has been used to study the surface morphology of InSe thin films. Before phase-transition grains are absent in the films and surfaces are almost smooth and uniform. Film surfaces are seen to exhibit a number of grains after phase-transition and they are rough in surfaces. The elemental composition of the lnSe thin films has been estimated by EDAX method. The effects of temperature on the electrical properties of InSe thin films have been studied in details. Temperature dependence of electrical conductivity shows a semiconducting behavior with activation energy. Thickness dependence of conductivity is well in conformity with the Fuchs-Sondheimer theory. Thermopower study indicates that the InSe film is an n-type semiconductor. The optical study of InSe thin films is carried out in the wavelength range 360 to 1100 nm at room temperature. The study of absorption coefficient of InSe thin films shows a direct type transition with a band gap of=1.65 eV which is well agreed with the reported values. Integrated values of luminous and solar transmittance as well as of reflectance have been calculated. Appreciable order of transmittance and reflectance suggest that this material is a potential candidate for the application in selective surface devices.展开更多

Such modification is for ameliorate the capability of the transducer to detect sub-surface flaws. Some prepared Aluminum pieces were subjected to different crosshead speed （200 and 350 ram/rain）. The ultrasonic pulse echo method was used at room temperature. The measurements have been done before and after each tensile stress. Flaws were found at different distances from the specimen＇s surface. Results showed that such delay lines and wedges were suitable to detect sub-surface flaws that were initiated under the effect of stress. In addition, a crosshead speed increment caused more sub-surface flaws formation.展开更多

Multilayered and bulk low-loss single crystal and polycrystalline dielectric structures have become very important for designing these devices. Proper design requires careful electromagnetic characterisation of low-loss material properties. This includes exact simulation with precision numerical software and precise measurements of resonant modes. For example, we have developed the Whispering Gallery mode technique, which has now become the standard for characterizing low-loss structures. This paper will review some of the common characterisation techniques used in the microwave to millimetre wave frequency regime.展开更多

The average size of speckles existing inside a biotissue and the radiation intensity in them are estimated experimentally. Gradient forces and forces caused by the thermal expansion acting on the micro-volume inside a tissue as result of an irregular light field are calculated at different average light intensities including therapeutic. Using theoretical simulation taking into account nonequilibrium light absorption in structural elements of biotissue it has been obtained that the coherent light influences on the chemical transport more strongly in comparison with the incoherent one.展开更多
