Abstract

with Pierce Penilesse led to a new emphasis on interrogating "the precise relation between writer and persona, rather than that between persona and reader or rewriter" (121). Their disputes over the vulgar Pierce's ever-shifting relationship to Nashe himself, in this account, constituted a proxy war for the longstanding debate over which writers possessed the authority to operate within the English literary field and over the social and literary value assigned to their contributions. By refusing to resolve the nature of his own intimacy with Pierce, Nashe pioneered a newly reflexive, ironic form of personation that would continue to reshape this field in the coming decades.These later developments animate the book's coda, which argues that early modern personae provided one important template for what would eventually be termed the author function. Taking two miscellanies of poetry-the 1557 Songs and Sonettes and the 1600 Englands Helicon-as convenient brackets for the study as a whole, this final section demonstrates that such compilations did not merely advance (or withhold) specific authorial attributions but were also increasingly invested in the conceptual problem of "what kind of person an author is" (157). The life story that Paper Monsters tells is thus finally a narrative of generational succession. The same vitality that had made personae an ideal medium for working out the emerging conventions of authorship also allowed them to become just another metafictional device for authors who had begun to assert their hegemony over the text. The book ends with a speculative extension of this trendline into the contemporary authorial experimentation of Karl Ove Knausgård and Elena Ferrante. Indeed, the theoretical questions Fallon raises should prove fruitful for book historians studying literary personae or the concept of authorship across periods and national boundaries. But the most surprising insights offered by Paper Monsters lie in the way that it excavates genuinely new layers of the early modern English literary field-a field composed of print, manuscript, and endlessly mutable textual persons-by charting the inky paths of personae through its depths.Early English Books Online.

A hybrid thrusting system for increasing the endurance time of multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles

“…Many research has been conducted on enhancing the endurance of UAVs. 23,[25][26][27][28][29][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] Various approaches were proposed. Many of these approaches involve incorporating specialized internal combustion engines (ICEs) or additional power sources, such as fuel cells, photovoltaic solar panels, supercapacitors, or a combination of these.…”

“…The UAV's maximum endurance time is 4 h with no payload and maximum fuel of 10 L (2.64 gal). 29 THEA HEX is a 5-kg hexacopter hybrid UAV equipped with a 2 kW generator and an 11 L (2.9 gal) fuel tank that charges two 5000 mAh batteries to power six BLDC motors. THEA HEX can fly up to 7 h without payload and 2 h with maximum 5 kg payload.…”

“…The ICE we utilize in this work is extremely small when compared with the large ICEs used in the relatively large commercial UAVs (>20 kg MTOW) presented in the literature. [27][28][29][30] The developed Hybrid-Based UAV achieved a 139% improvement in flight time compared with the same UAV without the ICE.…”

“…Studies and work in the field of hybrid UAVs that combine fuel engine(s) with electric rotors could be found in the literature. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] Other approaches of using fuel cells as auxiliary power sources are presented in the literature. [31][32][33][34] In this work, a quadrotor UAV with a hybrid thrusting system is modeled and developed along with its altitude and attitude control systems.…”
