The initial popular reception of Damon Galgut’s Promise (2021) has overlooked issues gender in the text, favouring instead more narrow allegorical readings race. In response to this, this article emphasises novel’s engagement with distinctly gendered nature transition from apartheid, focusing on representation white masculinities text. This raises concerns about how these are depicted. Through ...

The electronic conductance at zero temperature through a quantum wire with side-connected asymmetric quantum ring (as a scatter system) is theoretically studied using the non-interacting Hamiltonian Anderson tunneling method. In this paper we concentrate on the configuration of the quantum dot rings. We show that the asymmetric structure of QD-scatter system strongly influences the amplitude an...

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a method to cut conductive materials with a thin electrode that follows a programmed path. The electrode is a thin wire. Typical diameters range from .004" - .012" (.10mm - .30mm) although smaller and larger diameters are available. WEDM is a thermal machining process capable of accurately machining parts with varying hardness or complex shapes. WED...

An experimental study is conducted on flow past a circular cylinder fitted with some tripping wires on its surface. The work investigates the dependency of the critical wire locations on the wire size and Reynolds numbers, and examines the wake and vortex shedding characteristics in an effort to advance the understanding of the critical wire effects beyond the existing literature. The primary a...

Spatially resolved measurements of the magnetization dynamics on a thin CoFeB film induced by an intense laser pump-pulse reveal that the frequencies of resulting spin-wave modes depend strongly on the distance to the pump center. This can be attributed to a laser generated temperature profile. We determine a shift of 0.5 GHz in the spin-wave frequency due to the spatial thermal profile induced...

Insignia (Ormco, Orange, Calif) offers custom-designed orthodontic appliances via fully interactive software. It is a precise, start-to-finish process that works with Damon, Inspire ICE, and conventional appliances. Insignia software incorporates the clinician's treatment plan into a virtual 3-dimensional model of each patient's ideal occlusion and delivers a complete custom solution: patient-s...

purpose: according to frequent needs to gastric decompression by nasogastric tube insertion during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the current comparative study was accomplished through single blind clinical trial considering both the presence and the absence of guide wire insertion. materials and methods: twenty patients were selected for elective surgery of laparoscopic cholecystectomywith gene...
