Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon: A Paragon of Trauma Fiction

Morrison’s Song of Solomon could be viewed as a paragon of trauma fiction. Since no narrative of trauma can be told in a linear way, Morrison tries to depict the overwhelming power of trauma through a non-linear narrative, episodic delivery, and flashbacks. Accordingly, the readers are compelled to concoct the disjointed and fragmented memories in order to solve the riddle of the text, in which...

A SUPER ZERO-REST-MASS-EQUATION

Various authors have considered the Zero-rest-mass equation and the contour integral representation of its solutions. Ferber generalized these equations to supertwistor spaces with 2N odd components so that with N=O we get the standard ungraded twistors of Penrose. In this paper we use the Batchelor theorem toconstruct the natural super Twistor space with coarse topology with underlying sta...

Gravity-Compensated Robust Control for Micro-Macro Space Manipulators During a Rest to Rest Maneuver

Many space applications require robotic manipulators which have large workspace and are capable of precise motion. Micro-macro manipulators are considered as the best solution to this demand. Such systems consist of a long flexible arm and a short rigid arm. Kinematic redundancy and presence of unactuated flexible degrees of freedom, makes it difficult to control micro-macro manipulators. This ...
