This thesis as for object the diary literary genre. It is divided into two distinct parts: the first relates to textual criticism, and the second to the creation of a short diary novel., The critical text's problematic is based-on the…

From the age of fifteen until her death, the British female novelist Frances Burney (1752--1840) kept a detailed journal. Although thousands of extant manuscript pages exist, only three inadequate editions of her journals have been published., The Burney Project at…

The research field of this thesis is framed by the major political and legal women's movement campaigns from the 1840s to the 1870s: the debates over the Married Women's Property Act; over philanthropy and methods of addressing social ills; the…

Much of the public debate surrounding new technologies and techniques in assisted reproductive technology (ART) is caught up in the speculative nature of imagined futures of 'science-fictive' proportions. This thesis, by contrast, examines a 'naturalized' ART donor insemination, discussing the…

Shabashniks, as dissenting protagonists of free enterprise within the Soviet economic system did as much or more to undermine the political and economic security and control of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) than many of the more…

Bleached holograms are one of the most interesting techniques used to produce phase holograms of high quality on photographic emulsions. Of particular interest is the method of fixation-free rehalogenating bleaching. In this paper we will study the influence of the…

Fixation-free rehalogenating bleaching is an interesting for the production of phase holograms. The shrinkage of the emulsion is reduced in comparison with other bleaching methods (reversal bleaching or rehalogenating bleaching with fixation). In this paper we present experimental results for…

Industrial wastewater with a high value of CDO (Chemical Demand of Oxygen e. g. - 100 000 mg.l-1) was treated by electrolysis. The pH, temperature and anode material of the electrolysis process have been optimized. It was shown that the…

Photopolymers are studied as holographic recording materials for recording computer-generated phase holograms. The recording was performed using a holographic copying process, in which the master is produced by means of a high resolution graphic device. To our knowledge it is…

Bleaching is one of the most widely used techniques in the production of phase holograms of high quality on photographic emulsion, particularly in rehalogenating techniques without a fixation step. These techniques were very well understood when Agfa 8E75 HD emulsion…
