Double Plots and the Dual Civilizing Process in The Tempest, or The Enchanted Island
application/pdfWilliam Shakespeare’s The Tempest was adapted by William Davenant and John Dryden in 1667 as The Tempest, or The Enchanted Island. Their adaptation has been regarded as an inferior version of Shakespeare’s original that does not require serious critical attention. However, following some recent critics’ extensive research, the socio-political or cultural aspects of this text have been identified as areas deserving fuller discussion. In this paper, I argue that the development of the double plots in The Enchanted Island shows that the text explores ways in which to civilize the barbarous in both its political and sexual aspects. In addition, I argue that the idea of civility described in the text is dually constructed. Civility, the code which delineates the civilized from the barbarous, is represented in the text not as transparent but as an equivocal concept that requires the complementary presence of anti-civility.departmental bulletin pape
Combined Nondestructive Testing Method of Concrete
application/pdfThe purpose of the present paper is to obtain a practical expression for estimating the compressive strength of concrete using the nondestructive testing method combining rebound number with ultrasonic pulse velocity and to discuss its applicability to the evaluation of the strength of concrete members or structures. Experimental investigations are carried out to examine the effects of factors such as water-cement ratio, the maximum size and volume fraction of coarse aggregate, the curing condition and age of concrete. Accuracies of the prediction expressed in various types of empirical formulae are examined by multiple regression analysis, and practical equations for estimating the concrete strength are proposed. The equations are applied for evaluating the strength distribution in a concrete column and in an existing cocnrete building.departmental bulletin pape
