the bluest eye by toni morrison depicts a period in which the waves of the great depression in america fell with particular severity on afro-americans. this research concentrates on the notion of resistance to the dominant ideology. new historicists believe that the dominant power will co-opt any resistance. in this particular novel, claudia’s resistances to the dominant ideology of white stand...

Due to a lack of large deformation dyke assessment models, primary failure mechanisms, such as inner slope failure, are often used proxy assess the probability dyke. However, continues fulfil its main function unless, or until, flooding occurs. The Random Material Point Method (RMPM) is here investigate residual resistance, which resistance against after initial failure. RMPM combines random fi...

It is unarguable that residual tumor volume after primary cytoreductive surgery is the best prognostic factor in clinical course of epithelial ovarian cancer [1]. Nowadays, residual tumor volume does not only predict patients' prognosis but also guides adjuvant treatment strategy including application of targeting drugs. Thus, a growing number of current clinical trials are selecting or stratif...

Equality of residual variances across groups is one of the necessary conditions of measurement invariance. The main argument for not applying this restriction in the analysis of empirical data is that unequal residual variances across groups are differences in reliability of the observed variables rather than a violation of measurement invariance. A power study is carried out to investigate the...

It has been suggested that laser fluorescence close to the dental pulp shows higher values than more distant measurements. The aim of this study was to assess fluorescence on the cavity floor and to correlate these measurements with electrical resistance as a measure of residual dentine thickness. Thirty carious lesions were excavated with a bur. The endpoint of caries removal was determined by...

Abstract Low cycle fatigue often interacts with stress corrosion cracking behavior. In this work, the effect of low on susceptibility a CrNiMoV steel was investigated by interrupted tests in air and slow strain rate tensile 3.5 wt% NaCl solution at 180 °C. Microstructure evolution characterization verified cyclic softening found to improve resistance crack deflection along lath martensites due ...
