The achieved spatial contrast supplies greater information to the images and allows one to comment on the dynamics or local site symmetry of individual pixels. DENDRITE LABELED SERIESSpecifically, with a time-incremented series of MRI experiments, spin-spin ( T 2) relaxation can be measured at each spatial element of the object and an MRI image based on relaxation rather than spin density can be produced. 15 However, these larger properties can be utilised to achieve greater image contrast. 14 Likewise, 23Na MRI is considered more challenging than 7Li, as it has a significant chemical shift, greater quadrupole moment, and lower sensitivity than 7Li. Therefore, work in this field has focussed on the narrower linewidths of 7Li and its distribution within the solid-electrolyte. Conventional 1H MRI is not possible in ASSBs due to the lack of protons in the system and if the system did contain protonated groups these would have broad intrinsic linewidths (kHz) which would dephase during the application of gradients. ![]() Imaging solid-state electrolytes is technically more difficult than their solution counterparts as the NMR linewidths are substantially broader, this causes the T 2/ T 2 * to be short and hence the signal to dephase during the application of the imaging gradients. However, NMR relaxometry measurements (spin-lattice relaxation T 1, spin-spin relaxation T 2) have been vital in understanding ion dynamics in a range of battery systems. 12 Direct T 2 contrast MRI on any battery material ( 1H, 6/7Li and 23Na) has never been investigated. 9 In-situ 23Na nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) during electro-deposition of Na, shows that reversible high-surface-area mossy and/or dendritic structures can be observed and attributed to a nucleation mechanism. shows that in-operando 23Na MRI and MRS studies on sodium cells with organic liquid electrolytes were able to determine the sodium speciation upon galvanostatic cycling. 6 Both 1H and 7Li MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) have been utilised to probe dendrites in liquid electrolyte electrochemical cells, 7 and 7Li chemical shift imaging has explored Li microstructural growth in ASSBs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide non-destructive, isotope specific, structural, time-resolved, and quantifiable multi-dimensional information. Imaging such dendrites is essential to understand their growth and to develop mechanisms to prevent their formation. These growths have been categorized into four discrete morphologies straight, branching, spalling, and diffuse. 3 Dendritic growths in ASSB systems have different morphologies to their solution counterparts, which can be correlated to the electrochemistry. 1, 2 One of the greatest barriers to the progress of ASSBs is the formation of dendrites (filaments of alkali metal) on charging that penetrate the ceramic leading to a short-circuit and cell failure. 1 These advantages are protracted when coupled with sodium anodes which allow the use of aluminium current collectors (whereas more-expensive Cu is required for Li), sodium also has a significantly higher natural abundance (2.36 % abundance in the earth's crust) compared to that of conventionally used lithium (<0.002 %) and, therefore, offers more security against a volatile Li market. The use of solid-state electrolytes has numerous advantages over the conventional organic electrolytes such as the ability to use metal anodes, removal of volatile and flammable electrolyte organics, and they open up the possibility of Li-Air and Li-Sulphur cathodes (which have higher volumetric density). All-solid-state batteries (ASSB) with a ceramic electrolyte and an alkali metal anode could deliver a step-change in energy storage and safety. ![]()

Throwing ball to your dragon in playing modeĭrains one energy per ball returned by the dragon.ĭrains one energy per log gathered. Here are two of the fastest ways to drain the energy bar: But if you are ready to pay the price, this is the method you should prefer for aging up. Continuously draining dragon's energy bar and then regaining it back by eggs is hugely time efficient and fast way to grow your dragon's exp, though getting enough eggs to meet the need can be very costly. This is the best method for aging yoir dragon up from baby to teen.

But the minigame gets boring after a few levels, and getting enough exp to level up is frustrating at the times. The longer you play, the more exp your dragon gains.

This method works for levels 1-4.Įven though it is nice to play, the exp gained per each level is not admirable, but at least it's something. But you are able to drain the happiness bar by feeding the dragon a bunch of eels, and play again. This is not very efficient method to age up though, because the exp is gained only till the point then the bar is full, and the amount of it is not very tremendous either. Playing, meaning throwing a ball or making them chase the light, will give exp to your dragon. When your dragon friend's happiness bar has dropped, it's time to play with them.

Materials only behave elastically when the relative arrangement along the axis being considered of material components (e.g. Elastic Įlastic deformation is always reversible, which means that if the stress field associated with elastic deformation is removed, the material will return to its previous state. In the Earth, the compression of rocks with depth is significant, and an equation of state is needed to calculate changes in density of rock even when it is of uniform composition. In a body like the Moon, the density is almost constant, so a pressure profile is readily calculated. The pressure on rock depends only on the weight of the rock above, and this depends on gravity and the density of the rock. Since, over long periods, rocks readily deform under pressure, the Earth is in hydrostatic equilibrium to a good approximation. If there is no shear, the fluid is in hydrostatic equilibrium. Pressure is the part of stress that changes the volume of a solid shear stress changes the shape. Stress is defined as the average force per unit area exerted on each part of the rock. Rocks and other geological materials experience strain according to three distinct modes, elastic, plastic, and brittle depending on the properties of the material and the magnitude of the stress field.

When working with geological timescales and lengths, it is convenient to use the continuous medium approximation and equilibrium stress fields to consider the average response to average stress. Rocks are structurally and compositionally heterogeneous and are subjected to variable stresses, so it is common to see different types of deformation in close spatial and temporal proximity. This deformation may be brittle, elastic, or plastic, depending on the magnitude of the stress and the material's physical properties, especially the stress relaxation time scale. In the Earth's interior, movement happens when rocks melt or deform and flow in response to a stress field. 2, Gauthier-Villars, Paris (Reproduction Bibliothe ́que Nationale de France, 1995).Geodynamics is generally concerned with processes that move materials throughout the Earth.

The orientation tensor and the yield stress are usually modelled to include a simple damage evolution that relates to the work expended in deforming the material at yield. Typically, \(\eta\) varies by several tens of orders of magnitude over the typical temperature ranges expected between the Earth’s surface and interior. \(\Lambda\) is a structural tensor that represents the orientation of the plastic deformation relative to the applied stress and \(\lambda\) is a scalar multiplier that is computed to satisfy the stress conditions at yield. Where \(\mu\) is the elastic shear modulus and \(\eta\) is the shear viscosity (both of which may vary with temperature and composition). ![]() ![]() In a sense, then, even the weapons of Final Fantasy IX have identities while simultaneously defining each character, both ludically and narratively. On a very basic level, this binary extends to the game’s ludic systems: each weapon’s inherent nature (the abilities it confers) is only presented outward (when those abilities are conferred onto the character) after certain requirements are met. In the world of Final Fantasy IX, then, there exists a peculiar narrative tension between outer expectations-social or political class, perceived nationality or race-and inward desires and innate characteristics. Quina’s broken English serves as comic relief, but his ambiguous sex (Quina is always referred to as “s/he”) reminds players of the game’s more grandiose concerns. Take, for example, Quina Quen, a bipedal creature of indeterminate origin whose primary motivations are always gustatory. These character’s self-awareness ultimately disrupt Garland’s plan, but the Terrans do find new homes in the Black Mage Village, a refuge for Vivi’s sentient kinsmen.Īnd so, Final Fantasy IX’s exploration of identity is macrocosmic-entire planets are forced to tackle the issue-yet the game is, in general, lighthearted. Zidane is created, in turn, to kill Kuja, thereby wrapping up all of Garland’s loose ends. This irony singularly dominates the climax of the game: players and characters alike learn that Kuja was himself created by Garland to wipe out the population of Gaia, so that the inhabitants of Terra, a neighboring, destitute planet, might move in. Vivi’s species of black mages were artificially created to be foot soldiers, chattel to be bought and sold in Kuja’s blossoming black market arms dealership. The subject of the most poignant sub-plot in the game, Vivi joins Zidane in an attempt to learn more about his origins. Of particular interest is Vivi, a black mage (and yet another orphan). ![]() Zidane and Kuja struggle with their origins as living weaponry, manipulated by Garland Dagger (née Garnet) is an adopted Alexandrian princess who learns that she and Eiko, another orphaned girl, belong to an ancient and all-but-extinct race of summoners Steiner, Dagger’s bodyguard, and Freya, a Burmecian dragoon, balance their loyalties to their respective states with their devotion to individual members of those states and so on and so forth. For example the Mage Masher, a dagger Zidane finds early in the game, enables him to learn the abilities Flee and Detect, provided he use it long enough to acquire the requisite Ability Points-a fairly ho-hum system, given Final Fantasy’s long tradition of innovation in a genre noted for being old-fashioned.Ī perfunctory sketch of Final Fantasy IX’s characters reveals the extent to which the game seems fixated on the friction between outer appearances and inner truths. ![]() ![]() Final Fantasy IX, however, ostensibly lacks any distinctive mechanics, opting for a relatively old school, and relatively simple, weapons-based system of abilities and skill points: Zidane, the game’s protagonist, and his crew gain new skills by equipping new weapons. Final Fantasy IX is an exploration of how the creation and maintenance of identity is intrinsically linked to material objects.Īctive Time Battle, Materia, Draw and Junction, Sphere Grid, Gambit-Final Fantasy’s ludic components are perhaps as well known as its narratives. It is, to coin a phrase, ludo-narratively resonant: Final Fantasy IX’s mechanics don’t reveal the game’s narrative as much as they contribute to and inform a particular understanding of it. ![]() #ALEXANDROS DUNGEON BOSS SERIES#It’s not that the genre is dissonant, per se it’s that its ludic and narrative elements seem to be so fully divorced from one another that analysis seems like a waste of time.Īnd yet Final Fantasy IX remains, in my mind, the most thematically cohesive of the series and a triumph of narrative focus. As the notion of ludo-narrative dissonance-that a game’s “play” elements pull against its narrative ones-becomes the dominant shibboleth of an increasingly large tribe of games critics, the Japanese-style role playing game seems to have been pigeonholed as stagnant and archaic. ![]() ![]() ![]() Whilst the voice acting isn't stellar, it never gets annoying and the actual background music is always appropriate and genuinely enjoyable. The worst thing about the game by far is the darkness though, it makes traversing the level difficult as the way forward can be completely hidden and the first you see of some enemies is when they start attacking you, though most enemies make some kind of noise/glow so you can spot them. The slow transformation is also pretty cool and nicely done (within the confines of the dated graphics, seriously they're mediocre original xbox graphics). MORPHX CHARACTERS UPGRADEThe gameplay is enjoyable, if not exactly innovative, the upgrade system deserves special mention being a little puzzle itself and that you can change upgrades on the fly which is damn handy.

Understanding Illuminated Manuscripts: A guide to technical terms. See also: "Glossaries", British Library Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts, and, Brown, Michelle (Michelle P.). As a widespread phenomenon, illumination is most associated with medieval manuscripts, including the great monastic bibles and religious works, although illuminated manuscripts of various kinds, such as brightly coloured genealogies and chronicles, heightened with gold or silver, can still be found in the sixteenth and even seventeenth centuries. Illumination can take the form of richly coloured and decorated lettering, elaborate tracery in the text, margins, or borders, and other ornamental or pictorial features, or else, most especially, miniatures (see miniature).
