“Gestures of Air and Stone”: Translating Ethan Frome into Dance in Cathy Marston’s Snowblind by Adeline Chevrier-Bosseau

“…After examining how American Delsartism and dance might have shaped Edith Wharton’s understanding of the physical expression of affect through non-verbal gestures of air and stone and influenced the composition of Ethan Frome, this article explores how Cathy Marston drew on the affective and sensory elements in the novella to propose her own somatic and choreographic reading, therefore offering readers and ballet audiences alike a reflection on what literature feels like.…”

Study on Anisotropic Petrophysical Modeling of Shale: A Case Study of Shale Oil in Qingshankou Formation in Sanzhao Sag, Songliao Basin, China by Ang Li, Liyan Zhang, Jianguo Yang, Shichao Li, Fei Xiao, Yulai Yao, Yiming Huang, Bo Liu, Longsheng Li

“…Seismic petrophysics is an important link between seismic elastic properties and reservoir physical properties. Based on the petrological and microstructure characteristics of shale in the Qingshankou formation of Sanzhao sag in the north of Songliao Basin, this paper presents an anisotropy petrophysical model with complex pore structure suitable for organic shale constructed with the use of the Voigt-Reuss-Hill average model, an anisotropy self-consistent approximation+differential effective medium model, and the layering of clay and kerogen is simulated by using the Voigt-Reuss-Hill average and bond transform to achieve the simulation of shale anisotropy. …”

Examination Of The Relationship Between The Identification Levels And Aggression Levels Of The Fans; Example Of Alanyaspor Fans by Yasemin Karademir, Hasanali Kağan Kurnaz

“…At the end of the study, it was found that there was no relationship between the identification levels of the fans and their general levels of aggression, but there was a significant relationship between their levels of identification and their levels of physical aggression. However, it was seen that there was a positive-significant relationship between the level of identification of the fans and age, gender, marital status, the state of going to a home match and the state of going to an away match, that there was a negative-significant relationship between the level of identification of the fans and the level of education and the membership of the fans group. …”
