The Women Historians : History Deconstructed and Retold in Henry IV, Part 1

Uno Lee Ewha Institute of English and American Studies 2021 Journal of English and American studies Vol.19 No.2

It is generally agreed among critics that the women in Shakespeare’s later history plays are limited to the domestic sphere, thus forming a stark contrast to the women in his first tetralogy who actively engage in the male domain of politics and warfare. However, this paper proposes that the women’s limited roles should never be read as limited characterization, or less significance. By close analysis of the three female characters who briefly appear in Henry IV, Part1, one of the most popular Shakespearean history plays, this paper examines how the personal-political Lady Percy, the warrior-bard Lady Mortimer and the master-mistress Hostess not only deconstruct the traditionally male-dominant historiography by playfully questioning masculine values, but also retell history from an alternative perspective which does not discriminate gender, ethnicity and class. On the other hand, this paper claims that the biggest threat to masculinity in Henry IV, Part 1 is not the three women who display a sense of independence, but in fact the effeminate males such as Falstaff and Prince Hal. Hotspur’s double murder by Prince Hal and later Falstaff signifies that masculinity goes through an endless process of deconstruction and redefinition by none other than men themselves. In conclusion, this paper aims to show how both the male and female characters in Henry IV, Part 1 play an equally significant role in deconstructing written history and the masculine values it embodies, as well as how Shakespeare uses these characters to retell history as an emotionally appealing narrative about humanity which encompasses both the personal and the political, the individual and the universal.

Persistent Female Voices in the Male Dominant Narrative A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Uno Lee Ewha Institute of English and American Studies 2022 Journal of English and American studies Vol.20 No.1

Regarding the academic discourse on A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce, gender is unfortunately a less popular topic. Even amongst those who did focus on gender, their interests are largely twofold: either the homosexual elements within the novel, or gender inversions shown through Stephen’s complex psychology. The limitations that both these studies show are twofold as well: i) a tendency to interpret female characters merely as obstacles to Stephen’s artistic growth or evidence of his misogyny, and ii) analysis of the women mainly done through examining Stephen’s relationship to them. Although Joyce admittedly offers meagre textual evidence concerning female characters, I argue that this lack of mention is exactly why female characters have a sense of agency—an agency which has rarely been pointed out, let alone analyzed. By treating the females as complex subjects instead of Stephen's objects, I wish to redefine their roles as being an ultimate source of inspiration for Stephen's artistry because they constantly frustrate his perception of the world. Inspired by reader-response theory—in particular Iser’s, notion of “narrative gaps”—this paper could largely be seen as a creative project of filling in the gaps regarding the women’s characterization which Joyce/Stephen left behind. My analysis specifically focuses on the three named females (Dante, Emma and Mary Dedalus), for they seem to have received less scholarly attention compared to the unnamed prostitutes, the Ballyhoura woman or the bird-woman because of their relatively brief appearances. However, I argue that Dante, Emma and Mary provide a good basis for discussing female agency in the male-dominant narrative A Portrait.

Solar radiation components reflected by the sea surface (R(ss)↑) are additional energy sources comprising the solar radiation regime. Previous studies, based on observational approaches, indicated that R(ss)↑ is an available climatological resource. However, an estimation process for R(ss)↑ has not been established. In this case study over Jeju Island in South Korea, we applied a new estimation process to solar radiation modeling and discussed the spatial distribution of R(ss)↑ and its seasonal variation. Our results showed that the illuminated area and the intensity of R(ss)↑ became greatest at the winter solstice and least at the summer solstice. We estimated the illuminated area of R(ss)↑ as it expanded over the southern slope of Jeju Island. At the winter solstice, on a daily basis, the area and intensity of illumination by R(ss)↑ were 182.3 km2 and 0.41 MJ m.2 day.1, respectively. Comparing the daily accumulative and instantaneous values of R(ss)↑ intensity, the difference was about 20 times greater in daily cases than in instantaneous cases. On the other hand, for instantaneous values, the R(ss)↑ intensity accounted for up to 33% of the three components, i.e., direct, diffuse and reflected radiation in winter solstice. In addition, it was estimated that the sea surface reflectance depended on the wind speed. Therefore, in a practical use of this revised model, wind conditions should be considered as a critical factor in estimating R(ss)↑.

Usefulness of Endoscopic Imaging to Visualize Regional Alterations in Acid Secretion of Noncancerous Gastric Mucosa after Helicobacter pylori Eradication

Purpose: Endoscopic diagnosis of gastric cancer (GC) that emerges after eradication of Helicobacter pylori may be affected by unique morphological changes. Using comprehensive endoscopic imaging, which can reveal biological alterations in gastric mucosa after eradication, previous studies demonstrated that Congo red chromoendoscopy (CRE) might clearly show an acid non-secretory area (ANA) with malignant potential, while autofluorescence imaging (AFI) without drug injection or dyeing may achieve early detection or prediction of GC. We aimed to determine whether AFI might be an alternative to CRE for identification of high-risk areas of gastric carcinogenesis after eradication. Materials and Methods: We included 27 sequential patients with metachronous GC detected during endoscopic surveillance for a mean of 82.8 months after curative endoscopic resection for primary GC and eradication. After their H. pylori infection status was evaluated by clinical interviews and $^{13}C$-urea breath tests, the consistency in the extension of corpus atrophy (e.g., open-type or closed-type atrophy) between AFI and CRE was investigated as a primary endpoint. Results: Inconsistencies in atrophic extension between AFI and CRE were observed in 6 of 27 patients, although CRE revealed all GC cases in the ANA. Interobserver and intraobserver agreements in the evaluation of atrophic extension by AFI were significantly less than those for CRE. Conclusions: We demonstrated that AFI findings might be less reliable for the evaluation of gastric mucosa with malignant potential after eradication than CRE findings. Therefore, special attention should be paid when we clinically evaluate AFI findings of background gastric mucosa after eradication (University Hospital Medical Information Network Center registration number: UMIN000020849).

A high performance and low power architecture is devised for a 4Mbps infrared wireless communication system dedicated to the mobile computing. In this architecture, 4PPM(4-Pulse Position Modulation) infrared signals detected by an infrared receiver are digitized into TTL interface level pulses, and the digitized pulses are demodulated by a 1-bit digital demodulator. To improve the dynamic range of the link length, a 4PPM demodulator is synthesized to implement a demodulation algorithm which is constructed so as to accommodate the output tolerance of the infrared receiver. A part of experimental results shows that the realized 4Mbps infrared communication system can achieve an error free link in the range of 0-140cm at 90mW power consumption.

Switched Capacitor Converter-Based PWM Plus Phase-Shift Control Multiport Converter with Differential Power Processing Capability for Photovoltaic Systems

Masatoshi Uno,Ryuichi Igarashi,Yusuke Sato 전력전자학회 2019 ICPE(ISPE)논문집 Vol.2019 No.5

Photovoltaic (PV) systems consist of multiple dcdc converters, such as a front-end converter for PV panel control and bidirectional converter for battery regulation. In addition, a differential power processing (DPP) converter is desirably installed to preclude partial shading issues of the significant reduction in energy yield and occurrence of multiple maximum power points. To simplify such PV systems by reducing the converter count, this paper proposes a novel multiport converter (MPC) based on a switched capacitor converter (SCC) with DPP capability. The proposed MPC can be derived by integrating a noninverting PWM buck-boost converter, SCC, and phase-shift (PS) SCC with sharing switches, realizing the simplified system and circuit. The proposed MPC can regulate the load and battery by PWM and PS controls, respectively, while precluding the partialshading issues by its DPP capability. The experimental verification using a 150-W prototype demonstrated the load and battery could be independently regulated with preventing the partial shading issues.

Installing Ozone Bleaching and Hot Acid Treatment at NPI Mills

Shunichiro Uno,Takeshi Iimori 한국펄프·종이공학회 2006 한국펄프종이학회 기타 간행물 Vol.- No.-

Nippon Paper Industries, Co., Ltd. declared conversion of all the bleaching process to ECF, and most of the production had converted by now. To reduce ECF bleaching cost, we found that depending on electricity supply condition of the mill, utilization of ozone bleaching could be very effective. In addition, hot acid treatment of unbleached pulp also seemed to be effective for hardwood. In this study, several conditions for each technology were examined with the pulps from our own mills to reduce bleaching cost and to keep fiber quality acceptable level. In hot acid treatment study, with mild conditions (temperature lower than 90℃), sufficient reduction in Kappa number and hexenuronic acids content of the pulp were observed, while pulp viscosity was maintained. Moreover, to maintain strength of bleached pulp that subjected both to ozone bleaching and hot acid treatment, recommended Kappa number after ozone bleaching was more than 3. Based on these findings, two of our mills had installed medium-consistency ozone bleaching facilities and three mills installed hot acid treatment. Especially in Yatsushiro mill, both were installed in one bleaching line (A-ZD-E/P-D sequence), and running successfully.

PWM Switched Capacitor Converter Integrating Voltage Equalizers for Series-Connected Energy Storage Cells and Photovoltaic Modules

M. Uno,A. Kukita 전력전자학회 2015 ICPE(ISPE)논문집 Vol.2015 No.6

In recent photovoltaic (PV) systems, an energy storage source is often installed for power leveling and/or night-time power supply. However, such PV systems require multiple converters, including a voltage equalizer for series-connected PV modules to preclude negative impacts of partial shading, central converter for PV string control, and equalizer for series-connected energy storage cells to ensure years of safe operation, and therefore, PV systems are prone to complexity. To realize the system-level simplification, a PWM converter integrating voltage equalizers for PV modules and energy storage cells is proposed in this paper. The proposed integrated converter comprises a switched capacitor converter (SCC), PWM buck converter, and series-resonant voltage multiplier (SRVM) that perform PV equalization, string control, and cell equalization, respectively. The derivation procedure of the integrated converter is explained and discussed, followed by operation analysis. An experimental test was performed using series-connected supercapacitor (SC) modules and solar array simulators to emulate a partial-shading condition. With the integrated converter, the extractable maximum power from the PV modules was significantly improved while voltage imbalance of SC modules was adequately eliminated, demonstrating the integrated performance of the proposed converter.
