Slowness, Identity and Ignorance: Milan Kundera’s French Variations
… academically neglected novels by Milan Kundera: Slowness (1995), Identity (1998) and Ignorance (2002). Originally written in French, the author’s second language, after six novels, a short-story collection and a play originally written in Czech, these texts are often bracketed off from the rest …

Propagation of Leaky Waves in Free Surfaces and Grating Structures on (100)-Cut Gallium-Arsenide
… for measuring the surface acoustic wave (SAW) slowness surface on leaky-wave materials and a diffraction theory technique for predicting propagating beam profile shapes in unperturbed media. A modification to accommodate anisotropic loss is made to a method developed by Murray and Ash (8) for …

Proxy-Based Acceleration for Combinatorial Optimization Problems
… of this score is a significant source of slowness in the search for a solution. Through the use of a carefully calibrated approximation, however, this time can be significantly reduced with little effect on the quality of the results. I demonstrate here how such a proxy function can be …

Connectivity
… and every thing, significance. Defined as slowness, the work in my exhibition offers the viewer a form of temporality that points to the complex and layered nature of time as we encounter it daily. Connectivity explores the growing permeability and networks made between the realms of art, …

A historical survey of the abakwaMzimela tribe of the Mthunzini district
… due to the lack of knowledge. Due to the slowness of the South African historians in responding to the challenging demand of writing about the history of African societies, non-academic writers pioneered the process. With particular reference to this research, works of earlier historians …

The anelastic structure and deep geology of the Derbyshire Dome from high frequency Rayleigh waves.
… interstation analyses provide estimates of group slowness dispersion for the districts and component provinces and the Rayleigh wave specific attenuation factor, Qy-1(v), as a function of frequency for certain districts and provinces. Group slowness which ranges from 0.33 - 1.1 s km 1, increasing …

Evaluation of the Redostat™ device for the study of ferrous iron biological oxidation kinetics.
… changing conditions in batch culture and the slowness and bacterial wash out in continuous culture are significant weaknesses for these experimental methods. This work has evaluated the Redostat™ device for faster and controlled ferrous iron biological oxidation kinetics studies. The Redostat™ …

Processing resources, cautiousness, memory self -efficacy, and age differences in free recall
… digit load during learning. Age-related slowness was simulated by using words with multiple syllables. Participants' speed of information processing, working memory, memory self-efficacy were measured by standard tests. It was found that all three experimental manipulations produced …

MANDO : a computer program for symbolic manipulation of differential operators generating continuous transformations
… in the internal form. To counteract the relative slowness of string processing in the derivative routine, the program keeps a table of derivatives repeated during the processing . The table is checked for the presence of the function and its derivative before the derivative sequence is …

Feeling Subtle: A Practice-Based Study of How the Body Listens, Tunes in, and Becomes Present in Performance (and in COVID-Time)
… posits that the improvisation works because its slowness and focus allows for a magnification of the charged affect potential between the two dancers, referred to throughout as the "bloom space." The paradoxical task of mimicking a partner in real time, without initiating movement, is an attempt …
