This study aims to achieve a semiotic understanding of collective memory of the Iran-Iraq war. For this purpose, samples of images in virtual social networks shared in response to the news of discovery and return of the bodies of more than 175 divers have been analyzed. Visual signs in photographs, cartoons, graphic designs, prints, paintings and posters, in methods of historical pictures and f...

background the long-term consequences and the activities of daily living of bilateral lower limb amputatees are not well documented. objectives our study identifies the long-term effects of bilateral lower extremity amputations on daily activities to understand how these amputees cope with their mobility assistive devices. materials and methods a total of 291 veterans of war with bilateral lowe...

This paper gives the results of an investigation into the effects of wing torsion in a ternary-type spring-tab flutter. The results presented are for a series of calculations on an idealised system having degrees of freedom in wing pitch, rotation of the control surface and rotation of the tab; the pitching degree of freedom is spring restrained and is intended to represent wing torsion. The ta...

This is an experimental comparison Of two axi-symmetric, isentropic plug nozzles. In one of these (Model No. 1) the afterbody is cylindricaland a secondary flow is bled into the annular base. The other (Model No. 2) has a parabolic afterbody with no base or bleed. In both cases the expansion is all-external and the design pressure ratio is 14. These models were tested over a range of primary an...

A piloted simulation study of the handling characteristics of the B.A.C. 221 aircraft in the approach configuration was made in preparation for the first flight of the aircraft. The simulation included a simpli~ed representation of the outside visual world, and cockpit motion in pitch and roll. Values of the aircraft's lateral derivatives and moments of inertia were varied to allow for uncertai...

Temperatures and pressures have been measured in the shock-heated gas upstream of the nozzle of a reflected-shock hypersonic tunnel. Temperatures were measured by spectrum-line reversal, using sodium D lines for some measurements and the blue resonance lines of chromium for others. The temperature and pressure measurements immediately behind the first reflected-shock wave agreed well with theor...

The working paper publication series is designed to provide users with timely research results while refinements and longer term synthesis are completed, and final reports are available. The preparation of working papers and their discussion with those who design and influence programs and policies in Mozambique is an important step in the Directorates's overall analysis and planning mission. C...

AIM To present a summary of the organization, field search, repatriation, forensic anthropological examination, and DNA analysis for the purpose of identification of Finnish soldiers with unresolved fate in World War II. METHODS Field searches were organized, executed, and financed by the Ministry of Education and the Association for Cherishing the Memory of the Dead of the War. Anthropologic...

During the Second World War, it is argued, ‘‘the neuroses of battle’’ not only deepened an understanding of ‘‘psychopathological mechanisms’’, but also created opportunities for the practice of psychotherapy, while its perceived efficacy led to a broader acceptance within medicine and society once peace had returned. This recognition is contrasted with the aftermath of the First World War when ...
