The strangeness of caged animals
The Strangeness of Caged Animals is set in a trendy urban apartment block overlooking the river, one midsummer night. It concerns the relationships of six people in three couples who are intrinsically connected to the apartments. The main character is Della, a woman approaching fifty, who wants to …

Strangeness production in a quark-gluon plasma
… follows: Chapter 1 notes that the production of strangeness measured at CERN and Brookhaven has two possible explanations. One is that strange quarks, being relatively light, are easily produced, creating an abundance of strange particles in the experiment. On the other hand, hadron gas models …

Thermal modelling of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions conserving strangeness exactly
… in thermal and chemical equilibrium. The role of strangeness conservation and strangeness equilibration is a central feature in our considerations. Fits to the data from collaborations at the above facilities, and, comparisons with analysis done by other authors, are made. Energy dependence of the …

Maxima in strangeness observed in heavy ion collisions using statistical models
Nucleus-Nucleus collisions enable the heating and compression of nuclei in order to probe matter under extreme temperature and energy density. With a resonance gas mode, of hadronic matter, Hagedorn came to the conclusion that on increasing the energy density, hadronic matter could exist above a …

The Compatibility of Containment and Autonomy in Lydia Minatoya's The Strangeness of Beauty
… autonomy. A 1999 novel, Lydia Minatoya's The Strangeness of Beauty, challenges this essentialist view by portraying alternative behaviors that indicate autonomy. The novel is set in 1920s Japan when transnational excitement and anxiety provided opportunities for one subaltern group, Japanese …

Canonical strangeness conservation in the hadron gas model of relativistic heavy ion collisions
The CERN WA97 results display a strong strangeness enhancement at mid-rapidity which is dependent on the strangeness of the particle concernec, and saturates at values of participating nucleons greater than 120. These results are phenomenologically described by the mixed canonical ensemble, with …

The Strangeness of Home: German Loss and Search for Identity in Hanover, 1943--1948
"This dissertation highlights how Germans reimagined themselves amidst loss and disorientation resulting from the collapse of the Third Reich. I challenge notions of German forgetfulness---the repression of past trauma, the inability to ""master"" the past, and the self-absorbed effort to build a …

From Hypernuclei to Hypermatter: a Quantum Monte Carlo Study of Strangeness in Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics
The work presents the recent developments in Quantum Monte Carlo calculations for nuclear systems including strange degrees of freedom. The Auxiliary Field Diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm has been extended to the strange sector by the inclusion of the lightest among the hyperons, the Λ particle. …

"Beyond Consolation": Or Strangeness, Estrangement, and Strange-ing in the Elegy for the Black Body, 1955-Present
<p>The Elegy for the Black Body examines the mid-twentieth to early-twenty-first-century poetic justice crafted by African American poets to eulogize individual African Americans whose deaths were the result of racial and political violence. In the age of lynching, mass shooting, and police …

Search for clustering of strange quarks in relativistic heavy ion collisions at the LHC
… crossover region could lead to clustering of strangeness. The idea was supported by the enhanced production of strange carrying hadrons in heavy-ion collisions. Kaons are the lightest meson that carry the strange quark and thus they represent around 80% of the total strangeness in the system. …

A measurement of the antiproton proton going to antilambda baryon lambda baryon and antiproton proon going to antisigma 0 lambda plus c.c. reactions at 1.726 GeV/c
… correlation coefficients were measured for these strangeness production reactions. Emphasis was placed on a comparison of the data from the $\bar pp\to\bar\Lambda\Lambda$ reaction with that measured for the $\bar pp\to\bar\Sigma\sp0\Lambda+c.c.$ reaction. A comparison of these complementary …

Bestimmung des Fragmentationsverhaltens multihadronischer Z 0 -Zerfaelle an Hand von Sigma-Antihyperon Korrelationsstudien
… Z0 Ereignissen bilden sowohl die Strangeness, wie auch die Baryonzahl eine Erhaltungsgroesse. Wird ein Sigma- produziert, so muss deshalb entweder zusaetzlich ein Antihyperon (Antisigma, Antilambda, Antixi) oder ein Antinukleon-Kaon Paar korreliert erzeugt worden sein. Sigma- …

A room in the room : a private spectacle

A Season
… two presiding spirits: the concept of “strange strangeness” formulated by Timothy Morton in <em>The Ecological Thought</em> and anticipated, in my eyes, by Julia Kristeva in <em>Strangers to Ourselves</em>; and the concept of “feeling real,” specifically as presented in D.W. Winnicott’s …
