1. EXTENDED ABSTARCT From Anthony Niesz and Norman Holland’s early article “Interactive Fiction” [22], the ‘adventure game’ has persisted in academic research as a signifier for a specific type of videogames. The primary goal of the present dissertation is to distinguish these classic adventure games as an individual narrative form. This entails arguing for their ontologically and aesthetically...

It is the building of a case in the context of the work as a nurse on a service of psychosocial care. For this, we seek to guide both the clinic and the elaboration written from psychoanalysis. Thus, we present the case of Raul, the “Mad Beauty”, where learning to work with the unconscious guided the direction of the treatment. Realized, assuming the role of “Secretary Alienated” as alcohol con...

The expression “reversed predication” is not common. It is used in the field of symbolic logic to define complex conditions of negation. There are two key places where reversed predication, under a different, more general application, plays a key role: (1) George Spencer-Brown’s non-numerical calculus (Laws of Form, 1969), as applied to the “sorites” of Lewis Carroll, and (2) Slavoj Žižek’s ide...

Floating-point arithmetic is considered an esoteric subject by many people. This is rather surprising because floating-point is ubiquitous in computer systems. Almost every language has a floating-point datatype; computers from PCs to supercomputers have floating-point accelerators; most compilers will be called upon to compile floating-point algorithms from time to time; and virtually every op...

Abstract: Aerodynamics and motion performance of the floating vertical wind turbine (VAWT) were studied in this paper, where the wind turbine was H-type and the floating foundation was truss spar type. Based on the double-multiple-stream-tube theory, the formulae were deduced to calculate the aerodynamic loads acting on the wind turbine considering the motions of the floating foundation. The su...
