Parodies de dandies : travestissement et transgression des genres au music-hall by Catherine Rovera

“…Reviving the myth of the androgyne by making it both plausible and likeable is quite a feat, at a time when music-hall was under pressure from middle-class moral reformers. Thus, in the context of the Social Purity Crusades and against a background of hostility to music-hall culture, it is hardly surprising that male impersonations should arouse deep anxiety. …”

Mechanical properties of pressure-frozen ice under triaxial compressive stress by Peixin Sun, Weihao Yang, Jukka Tuhkuri

“…To study the compressive strength of frozen soil under high ground pressure and high hydraulic pressure, it is necessary to understand the mechanical behaviour of ice that is formed under triaxial compressive stress. A low-temperature triaxial test system was developed and used to study both formation and deformation of columnar ice under hydrostatic pressure. …”
