  • In David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly and Shirley Lim's Joss and Gold, two Asian-American texts exploring the relationship between America and Asia, the classic Orientalist motif of the infinitely submissive oriental female is reworked to articulate an Asian response to American hegemony. Both works mobilize the Asian female as a figure of contestation to destabilize and reconceptualize the patriarchal and Orientalist strategies of Western cultural and political domination. This paper explores the tactically different though strategically similar counter-discursive moves adopted in the two works to suggest a broader cultural realignment in Asian-American relations.

  • By reading the main character, Rene Gallimard, in M. Butterfly as a spatial metaphor of America, this article examines how homogeneous American national identity of heterosexuality and white masculinity has been reinforced since the cold war and has constituted a crisis of hegemony with the decline of imperialism and how its pathological symptom is shown through the melancholic suicide of Gallimard. This article also argues how the feminine attributes implied in race, gender and sexuality in M. Butterfly are designated and allegorized as an impure, contaminated and ahistorical marker of national integrity in pthe social and material status of the heterosexual American white male. To develop my argument, I read M. Butterfly from a psychoanalytic point of view. Therefore I depend on Freud, Lacan, and Bhabha's psychoanalysis as the theoretical basis. In this paper, I also argue that the homogenized and fixed national identity is splitted and collapsed from within as shown in the Gallimard's melancholy and in the process of splitting the "Third Space" of hybrid subjects for the marginal and the emergent like Song Liling, a homosexual Asian man, can be built "from a space in-between." Therefore Hwang calls into questions conventions of fixed, essentialist identities through the shifting gender identities between Song and Gallimard in M. Butterfly and how identities in the plural are constructed variously in throughly historicized, politicized situations, and these constructions can be complicated by relations of power.

  • This article discusses David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly as a suggestive text for examining Western masculinity in crisis in the post-imperialist age, in which territorial imperialism is no longer valid. Previous scholarship on M. Butterfly has centered around the interlocking dynamics of imperialism, racism and sexism. Such critical attentions focus on how Hwang deconstructs racialized significations of the East and the West. In these discussions, the issue of gender is often addressed merely as a trope to represent the power relations between the East and the West. As such, gender as well as sexuality is highlighted as the very source of subversion of the power relations. My discussion departs from a critique of the gendered trope of the East and the West, highlighting a postmodern agent, the allegedly feminized character Song Lining: a Chinese actor who passes for a woman for political purposes in postcolonial China. Remaining an "inappropriate/d other" in the gendered imperialist discourse, Song becomes an emergent subject, who is capable of playing gender ambiguity for reclaiming a devalued identity, that of homosexual Asian man. Discussing how the central character Rene Gallimard's masculine identity is constructed in a cross-cultural space and how it evolves, I also argue that Gallimard's melancholic death signifies a historical unsustainability of imperialist masculinity in the postmodern/postcolonial age since World War II.

  • The butterfly valve is widely used in the industrial field as an on-off or a flow control valve. When the butterfly valve is used as a flow control valve. cavitation sometimes occurs in the range of high flow rate because of the small valve opening. Therefore. the pressure loss and the cavitation characteristics are investigated by use of a commercial CFD code. The results show that the possibility of cavitation occurrence in the cryogenic butterfly valve is very high in the case of valve opening angle below 10 degree and incident velocity over 6m/s. By increasing the inlet velocity at 10 degree of valve opening angle. the value of loss coefficient increased. However. by increasing the inlet velocity at 50 degree of valve opening angle. the value of loss coefficient decreased.

  • To improve the performance of the control butterfly valve seals are used to eccentric shaft. In this case, vertical opening gas of the butterfly valve is non-symmetrical, which will change the flow pattern around the valve. In this study, the eccentric drive shaft of the butterfly valve to change flow characteristics are performed numerically. Flow pattern and pressure drop are investigated as the valve opening angle increases for a given mass flow rate. The valve flow coefficient is compared to the without eccentric shaft.

  • 나비서식지 복원구상은 종 보전을 위한 중요한 요인의 하나로, 나비의 생태, 서식지 경관, 작업방법, 비용분석 등에 대한 검토를 필요로 한다. 본 연구는 멸종위기종 붉은점모시나비의 서식지 복원을 위하여 요구되는 인자들을 지난 3년간 수행된 연구결과의 검토 및 나비의 성충과 유충의 존재 또는 부재를 조사하는 방법을 통하여 서식지 면적 추정 등의 방식으로 서식지 요건을 분석하였다. 그 결과 국내에서 발견된 붉은점모시나비의 서식지는 유충과 성충이 관찰되는 패치를 기준으로 최소 $300m^2$이상의 크기로 다수의 패치가 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 붉은점모시나비 서식지 디자인에서는 기존의 서식지 환경과 유사한 곳에 5개 이상의 패치에 먹이식물과 흡밀식물이 계획되어야 한다. 그리고 나비의 이주를 활발하게 하기 위하여 이주에 방해되는 수목의 제거, 패치간 거리의 최소화, 그리고 징검다리 패치의 추가가 필요하다. 패치연결성 분석결과, 패치간의 거리가 약 600m 이상 떨어질 경우 성공적인 이주가 어려우므로, 각 패치간의 거리는 300m이내에 분포하도록 하는 것이 적절하며, 서식지 크기는 단일 패치에서는 $10,000m^2$이상, 다수의 패치 네트워크에서는 5개 이상의 패치가 인접하고, 각각의 패치는 $1,600m^2$이상으로 전체 패치면적은 $8,000m^2$이상이 필요할 것으로 추정된다. 또한, 단일 서식지보다는 다수의 패치가 인접하여 네트워크를 형성하는 것이 서식지 순환 발생패턴에서 바람직한 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구는 나비의 서식지 복원에 관한 적정한 서식지 요건을 제시하고자 하였으며, 앞으로 진행될 생물종의 복원에 있어서 모델이 될 것으로 기대한다.

  • In this paper, flow in the wake region of a butterfly valve is studied numerically and experimentally. The disk angle of the valve is fixed as $30^{\circ}$ and the free stream velocity as 0.13m/s in the experiment. Numerical analysis is performed in similitude of the experiment. The standard LES model is used to represent the turbulence effect in the commercial code Fluent 5.5. It is shown that the numerical result is similar to the experimental result for the wake flow of a butterfly-type valve.
