Arlington Park: Variations on Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway by Monica LATHAM

“…I would like to observe Cusk’s narrative, stylistic and thematic features, which seem to situate her novel at the confluence of two traditions: firstly, her writing stems from modernism and prolongs modernist techniques, more particularly the Woolfian legacy; Cusk can thus be said to be a neo-modernist writer.2 Secondly, her work belongs to the current “literary fiction” genre: it is an elitist, lyrical, “writerly” type of fiction born with modernist aesthetics.…”

Dimensionless Assessment Method of Landslide Dam Formation Caused by Tributary Debris Flow Events by Kun-Ting Chen, Xiao-Qing Chen, Gui-Sheng Hu, Yu-Shu Kuo, Yan-Rong Huang, Chjeng-Lun Shieh

“…Based on the theory of debris flow run-out distance and fan formation, landslide dam formation may result from a tributary debris flow as a result of two concurrent formation processes: (1) the run-out distance of the tributary debris flow must be greater than the width of the main stream, and (2) the minimum deposition thickness of the tributary debris flow must be higher than the in situ water depth of the main stream. At the confluence, one of four types of depositional scenarios may result: (1) the tributary debris flow enters into the main stream and forms a landslide dam; (2) the tributary debris flow enters into the main stream but overflow occurs, thus preventing complete blockage of the main stream; (3) the tributary debris flow enters into the main stream, does not reach the far bank, and sediment remains partially above the water elevation of the main stream; or (4) the tributary debris flow enters into the main stream, does not reach the far bank, and sediment is fully submerged in the main stream. …”
