Jocelyn Wright(Jocelyn Wright),Francisco Gomes de Matos(Francisco Gomes de Matos),Younghee Cheri Lee(Younghee Cheri Lee) 한국영어학학회 2024 영어학연구 Vol.30 No.3

Peace linguistics (PL) intersects the fields of peace studies and applied linguistics, and peace linguists have recently begun to research, raise awareness about, advocate for, and teach linguistic aspects of peace. However, PL is still emerging. With this paper, we attempt an explicit rapprochement between the disciplinary fields by uniting Galtung’s work on peace and violence with linguistics. We begin by defining key concepts related to applied linguistics and peace studies and contributing a holistic model of peace, which serves to situate approaches to comprehensive PL, positive and negative, along a continuum. We then expand Galtung’s typology of violence to propose a corresponding typology of peace, linking his types of violence to peace equivalents as well as linguistic phenomena. For illustrative purposes, we next provide examples of positive and negative PL activities corresponding with linguistic phenomena. In doing so, we highlight connections with other disciplines, showcasing the transdisciplinary nature of this field. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the value of these contributions while acknowledging the limitations of this theoretical paper and propose directions for future research. In trying to avoid a violentology perspective, this paper also foregrounds peace, both in word and deed.

Wright, J.K.,Lillo, T.M.,Wright, R.N.,Kim, Woo-Gon,Sah, In-Jin,Kim, Eung-Seon,Park, Ji-Yeon,Kim, Min-Hwan Elsevier 2018 Nuclear engineering and design Vol.329 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>The Ni-Cr-Mo-Co material Alloy 617 is the leading candidate for VHTR intermediate heat exchangers operating above 750°C. Time-dependent properties are an important consideration in qualifying the alloy for construction of nuclear components. Creep behavior of several different heats of Alloy 617 has been evaluated in the temperature range of 800–1000°C. Power law creep behavior was observed for the minimum creep rate, with a stress exponent of 5.6 and activation energy of approximately 400kcal/Mol. The Monkman-Grant approach relating minimum creep rate to time to rupture gave a reasonable representation of the data for all of the testing with a slope of −0.84. Similarly, a modified Monkman-Grant fit the strain to failure data reasonably well. A Larson-Miller analysis was carried out to compare rupture behavior determined in the current experiments and historical data with well-known provenance over a wide range of conditions. It appears that the properties of modern heats of material are near the lower bound of rupture behavior when all of the data are considered in the same analysis.</P>

Christina Huang Wright,James Wright,Anish Badjatiya,Sunil Manjila,Steven Reed,Robert Geertman 대한뇌혈관외과학회 2015 Journal of Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Neuros Vol.17 No.4

Pseudoaneurysms of the superficial temporal artery are rare and may be treated by manual compression, surgical intervention, coil embolization, or percutaneous thrombin injection. We present a novel technique of local ultrasound guided low-profile coil embolization of the superficial temporal artery with both satisfactory cosmetic and surgical results

Rhinoplasty Education Using a Standardized Patient Encounter

Wright, Eric J.,Khosla, Rohit K.,Howell, Lori,Lee, Gordon K. Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surge 2016 Archives of Plastic Surgery Vol.43 No.5

Background Comprehensive aesthetic surgery training continues to be a challenge for residency programs. Our residency program developed a rhinoplasty-based objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) based upon validated methods as part of the residency education curriculum. We report our experience with the rhinoplasty-based OSCE and offer guidance to its incorporation within residency programs. Methods The encounter involved resident evaluation and operative planning for a standardized patient desiring a rhinoplasty procedure. Validated OSCE methods currently used at our medical school were implemented. Residents were evaluated on appropriate history taking, physical examination, and explanation to the patient of treatment options. Examination results were evaluated using analysis of variance (statistical significance P<0.05). Results Twelve residents completed the rhinoplasty OSCE. Medical knowledge assessment showed increasing performance with clinical year, 50% versus 84% for postgraduate year 3 and 6, respectively (P<0.005). Systems-based practice scores showed that all residents incorrectly submitted forms for billing and operative scheduling. All residents confirmed that the OSCE realistically represents an actual patient encounter. All faculty confirmed the utility of evaluating resident performance during the OSCE as a useful assessment tool for determining the Next Accreditation System Milestone level. Conclusions Aesthetic surgery training for residents will require innovative methods for education. Our examination showed a program-educational weakness in billing/coding, an area that will be improved upon by topic-specific lectures. A thoroughly developed OSCE can provide a realistic educational opportunity to improve residents' performance on the nonoperative aspects of rhinoplasty and should be considered as an adjunct to resident education.

A Real World Analysis of Imaging Compared to Biopsy for Diagnosis of Pediatric Liver Tumors

Purpose: Pediatric liver tumors are challenging and need biopsy to perform when imaging suggests a malignant tumor, findings are equivocal, or confirmation of certain benign lesions is required. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of real-world imaging of liver tumors, using pathology as the gold standard. Methods: Patients less than 18 years old with a liver tumor and imaging obtained before liver tumor biopsy were retrospectively identified. Liver imaging reports (ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging) were collected to evaluate specific diagnoses and to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions. A discrepancy was defined as discordance in the benign or malignant classification between imaging and pathological findings. Results: Among 50 patients, imaging and biopsy findings matched between benign and malignant in 40 cases (80.0%). Of these, 22 were benign and 18 were malignant. In 10 (20.0%) discrepant cases, the most frequent misclassification (14.0%, 7/50) involved imaging diagnosis of malignancy found to be benign on pathology. In three (6.0%) cases, imaging suggested a benign lesion (hepatocellular adenoma, regenerative nodule, and indeterminate benign lesion) while biopsy revealed neuroendocrine tumor, hepatocellular carcinoma, and hepatoblastoma, respectively. Conclusion: Overall, imaging and biopsy diagnoses differed in tumor classification (benign vs. malignant) in 20% in this real world series. In a few cases, imaging suggested a benign lesion without specific diagnostic features, but pathology confirmed malignancy; in others, tumors read as malignant on imaging were benign on biopsy. These findings highlight the importance of biopsy or close follow-up where imaging is not diagnostic.

Development and validation of a non-linear k-ε model for flow over a full-scale building

Wright, N.G.,Easom, G.J.,Hoxey, R.J. Techno-Press 2001 Wind and Structures, An International Journal (WAS Vol.4 No.3

At present the most popular turbulence models used for engineering solutions to flow problems are the $k-{\varepsilon}$ and Reynolds stress models. The shortcoming of these models based on the isotropic eddy viscosity concept and Reynolds averaging in flow fields of the type found in the field of Wind Engineering are well documented. In view of these shortcomings this paper presents the implementation of a non-linear model and its evaluation for flow around a building. Tests were undertaken using the classical bluff body shape, a surface mounted cube, with orientations both normal and skewed at $45^{\circ}$ to the incident wind. Full-scale investigations have been undertaken at the Silsoe Research Institute with a 6 m surface mounted cube and a fetch of roughness height equal to 0.01 m. All tests were originally undertaken for a number of turbulence models including the standard, RNG and MMK $k-{\varepsilon}$ models and the differential stress model. The sensitivity of the CFD results to a number of solver parameters was tested. The accuracy of the turbulence model used was deduced by comparison to the full-scale predicted roof and wake recirculation zone lengths. Mean values of the predicted pressure coefficients were used to further validate the turbulence models. Preliminary comparisons have also been made with available published experimental and large eddy simulation data. Initial investigations suggested that a suitable turbulence model should be able to model the anisotropy of turbulent flow such as the Reynolds stress model whilst maintaining the ease of use and computational stability of the two equations models. Therefore development work concentrated on non-linear quadratic and cubic expansions of the Boussinesq eddy viscosity assumption. Comparisons of these with models based on an isotropic assumption are presented along with comparisons with measured data.

Comparison of several computational turbulence models with full-scale measurements of flow around a building

Wright, N.G.,Easom, G.J. Techno-Press 1999 Wind and Structures, An International Journal (WAS Vol.2 No.4

Accurate turbulence modeling is an essential prerequisite for the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in Wind Engineering. At present the most popular turbulence model for general engineering flow problems is the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model. Models such as this are based on the isotropic eddy viscosity concept and have well documented shortcomings (Murakami et al. 1993) for flows encountered in Wind Engineering. This paper presents an objective assessment of several available alternative models. The CFD results for the flow around a full-scale (6 m) three-dimensional surface mounted cube in an atmospheric boundary layer are compared with recently obtained data. Cube orientations normal and skewed at $45^{\circ}$ to the incident wind have been analysed at Reynolds at Reynolds number of greater than $10^6$. In addition to turbulence modeling other aspects of the CFD procedure are analysed and their effects are discussed.

UV Disinfection of Wastewater : Key Factors for Effective System Design

Wright, H.,Brunet, R.,Sakamoto, G.,Cairns, W. 영남대학교 환경문제연구소 2000 環境硏究 Vol.19 No.2

UV disinfection causes cross-linking of the DNA of micro-organisms, preventing their replication. The UV dose determines the level of disinfection, and is the product of UV germicidal intensity and reactor retention time. Reactors size depends on the flow and required dose for the water quality to be treated. Water quality is a function of the upstream treatment process, as shown through lab and pilot scale analysis of the UV dose response of effluent from primary, secondary, and tertiary plants. The most important water quality parameters are the ultraviolet transmittance (UVT) of the wastewater, and both the size and number of particles produced. As the level of treatment increases, the total suspended solids (TSS) generally decrease and UVT improves, reducing the reactor size. The use of ferric based flocculating agents decreases UVT and negatively impacts disinfection performance as compared with alum. Fouling of the quartz sleeves is increased with ferric flocculants.
