Spoiling Through Performative Nonviolence: Ritualistic Funerary Practice as a Violent Dissident Irish Republican (VDR) Spoiling Tactic

Spoiling Inside and Out

peace accords signed between 1988 and 1998, thirty-one failed to last more than three years.1 Contributing to their failure was the behavior of so-called spoilers: those who use violence or other means to undermine negotiations in the expectation that a settlement will threaten their power or interests.2 The stakes for understanding spoiler behavior are high. Where parties kept spoilers at bay,...

Inhibition of spoiling yeasts of fruit juices through citrus extracts.

This article reports on the bioactivities of citrus extracts (citrus extract, lemon extract, and neroli) toward Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Zygosaccharomyces bailii, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, Pichia membranifaciens, and Rhodotorula bacarum. The bioactivities of the extracts (from 10 to 100 ppm) were evaluated through a microdilution method; thereafter, citrus extracts (0 to 80 ppm) were tested in...

Hexagonal gradient scheme with RF spoiling improves spoiling performance for high‐flip‐angle fast gradient echo imaging

PURPOSE To present a framework in which time-varying gradients are applied with RF spoiling to reduce unwanted signal, particularly at high flip angles. METHODS A time-varying gradient spoiler scheme compatible with RF spoiling is defined, in which spoiler gradients cycle through the vertices of a hexagon, which we call hexagonal spoiling. The method is compared with a traditional constant sp...

Ray chaos and Q spoiling in lasing droplets.

The highest Q optical resonators known are dielectric microspheres in which the high Q modes are created by total internal reflection of light circulating just inside the surface of the sphere[1, 2]. These high Q modes are referred to as “whispering gallery” (WG) modes or alternatively as “morphology-dependent resonances” (MDR’s) [2]. If the dielectric is a liquid droplet containing an appropri...
