How have animation fans in Japan, South Korea, the United States,
and Canada formed communities and dealt with conflicts across
cultural and geographic distance? This book traces animation fandom
from its roots in early cinema audiences, through mid-century
children's cartoon fan clubs, to today's digitally-networked
transcultural fan cultures.
This book is the first serious study of Henry IV's relationship with the towns of France. Rejected by a majority of his subjects because of his Protestant faith, Henry spent the early years of his reign conquering his kingdom through the use of force, persuasion, bribery, and conciliation. By reopening the lines of communication between the crown and the towns, he strengthened the French monarchy. Thus while this book is not a biography of the King, it offers an in-depth analysis of a crucial aspect of his craft of kingship.

Finite element analyses have been performed for two full-scale
crash tests of an MD-500 helicopter. The first crash test was
conducted to evaluate the performance of a composite deployable
energy absorber under combined flight loads. In the second crash
test, the energy absorber was removed to establish the baseline
loads. The use of an energy absorbing device reduced the impact
acceleration levels by a factor of three. Accelerations and
kinematic data collected from the crash tests were compared to
analytical results. Details of the full-scale crash tests and
development of the system-integrated finite element model are
briefly described along with direct comparisons of acceleration
magnitudes and durations for the first full-scale crash test.
Because load levels were significantly different between tests,
models developed for the purposes of predicting the overall system
response with external energy absorbers were not adequate under
more severe conditions seen in the second crash test. Relative
error comparisons were inadequate to guide model calibration. A
newly developed model calibration approach that includes
uncertainty estimation, parameter sensitivity, impact shape
orthogonality, and numerical optimization was used for the second
full-scale crash test. The calibrated parameter set reduced 2-norm
prediction error by 51% but did not improve impact shape
orthogonality.

This 1999 book is a serious study of Henry IV's relationship with
the towns of France, and offers an in-depth analysis of a crucial
aspect of his craft of kingship. Set in the context of the later
Wars of Religion, it examines Henry's achievement in reforging an
alliance with the towns by comparing his relationship with Catholic
League, royal and Protestant towns. Annette Finley-Croswhite
focuses on the symbiosis of three key issues: legitimacy, clientage
and absolutism. Henry's pursuit of political legitimacy and his
success at winning the support of his urban subjects is traced over
the course of his reign. Clientage is examined to show how Henry
used patron-client relations to win over the towns and promote
acceptance of his rule. By restoring legitimacy to the monarchy,
Henry not only ended the religious wars but also strengthened the
authority of the crown and laid the foundations of absolutism.
