4. Finding your own magic: how Obeah and Voodoo provide women agency in Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea and Tiphanie Yanique's Land of Love and Drowning

Abstract

One of the most important functions of Caribbean literature is to give voice to characters that would be otherwise voiceless. These characters are often slaves, women, racial minorities, and poor people; in other words, anybody who has been touched by the devastating oppression of a colonial society. The oppressed in the Caribbean have often turned to their belief in Obeah in order to assert themselves in the face of the colonizer. Obeah and magic are still ingrained in the culture of the Caribbean people because the culture of the European colonizer is still influencing society in the Caribbean. Through this research it was discovered that both Rebekah McKenzie from Land of Love and Drowning, and Christophine from Wide Sargasso Sea, are very similar characters. They are both Obeah women who happen to be poor, single mothers, but are also feared and respected in their communities. The fear and respect are due to their practice of Obeah. Antoinette Cosway, from Wide Sargasso Sea, and Anette and Eona Bradshaw, from Land of Love and Drowning, practice a more subtle form of Obeah. Obeah is a magic that liberates these women from a system of patriarchal and colonial oppression. Because they have lifted themselves, they also have the power to help other marginalized people push back against similar oppression. The use of magic to fight against oppression put in place by a colonial system is a common theme in Caribbean literature, and consequently, is important to the everyday lives of real Caribbean people. Key words: Obeah, Voodoo, Caribbean Literature, Magic has the power to shape minds, hearts, and nations, nobody knows better about this power then the oppressed and marginalized peoples of the Caribbean. In this region of the [...]

7. Determination of specific growth rate by measurement of specific rate of ribosome synthesis in growing and nongrowing cultures of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus

Abstract

The new method, RT-RiboSyn has measured the specific rate of ribosome synthesis in microbial populations by measuring the generation rate of precursor 16S rRNA relative to that of mature 16S rRNA when precursor 16S rRNA processing is inhibited. The measurement of specific ribosome synthesis by RT-RiboSyn has agreed well with the measurement of specific growth rate with the conventional spectrophotometric method for Acinetobacter calcoaceticus under different growth conditions by using standard culture media.

33. Dispersion in Steady Pipe Flow with Reynolds Number Under 10,000

Abstract

The longitudinal dispersion coefficient of a conservative tracer (CaCl2) was calculated from continuous flow tests in a dead-end pipe system. The system consisted of 6-inch diameter PVC pipe with a test length of approximately 44 meters. Flow conditions ranged from laminar to turbulent regimes, with a Reynolds number range of 1000 to 10000. Two static mixers in series were used to homogenize the tracer concentration across the cross-section of pipe. The conductivity of the tracer was measured at two locations downstream of the injection and mixers using a conductivity probe at a point in the cross-section. Dispersion coefficients calculated by the method of moments are plotted versus Reynolds number. Test results show increasing time-averaged dispersion rate in the laminar flow regime and a portion of the transitional flow regime with increasing Reynolds number. At a flow rate corresponding to a Reynolds number (Re) of approximately Re=2400, the dispersion rate reaches a maximum value and then decreases until approximately Re=4000. As the tests enter the turbulent flow regime, the dispersion rate is minimized due to the plug-flow behavior inherent to turbulent flow. Results indicate that dispersion plays a more important role in mass transport in laminar and transitional flow than advective mass transport. Incorporating dispersion estimates into network water quality models will improve quality predictions for the dead-end portions of the network.
