“…Lai (1999) considered a non-relativistic but misaligned dipolar magnetic field and found out that the inner region of the accretion disk interacting with the inclined magnetic dipole field is subjected to magnetic torques that induce warping and precession of the disk. The Lai (1999) model is the opposite of Wang (1987) in terms of steller field alignment and rotation axis. As mentioned in Section 1, we consider a non relativistic and not tilted case for a slowly rotating magnetized neutron star model of Wang (1987Wang ( , 1995 and then include a dynamo action of Tessema and Torkelsson (2010) as we extend it to a quasi-Keplerian formulation.…”

“…Consequently, turbulent dynamo action in accretion discs are vital in generating the required magnetic fields (Brandenburg et al 1995). In presence of a dynamo mechanism, the stellar field penetrates the disc and a large scale toroidal field is created with two components:(1) B φ,shear , due to vertical shearing motions (Wang 1987) and (2) B φ,dyn which is due to differential rotation (Brandenburg et al 1995).…”

“…The range between R in to ∞ covers both spin up and spin down contributions from magnetic stresses. Specifically, R in → R co results in a spin-up torque while R co → ∞ contributes a spin-down torque to the neutron star (Wang 1987(Wang , 1995. Numerical solutions for torques arising due to interaction of the neutron star and accretion disc are calculated and tabulated in Table 1.…”

“…This model follows the assumptions of Shakura and Sunyaev (1973) i.e Vertical hydrostatic equilibrium, steady state and α-parameter for viscosity. Then taking up the magnetized compact object model of Wang (1987Wang ( , 1995 we modify the Hoshi and Shibazaki (1977) model using the formulation of Tessema and Torkelsson (2010), while taking into account the effect of radial pressure gradients. We subject our results to the observed data in order to explain such observational scenarios like those in 4U 1728-247 and 4U 1626-67 (Camero-Arranz et al 2010.…”

In this paper, we present a complete structure of a quasi-Keplerian thin accretion disc with an internal dynamo around a magnetized neutron star. We assume a full quasi-Keplerian disc with the azimuthal velocity deviating from the Keplerian fashion by a factor ξ (0 < ξ < 2). In our approach, we vertically integrate the radial component of the momentum equation to obtain the radial pressure gradient equation for a thin quasi-Keplerian accretion disc. Our results show that at large radial distance the accretion disc behaves in a Keplerian fashion. But, close to the neutron star, pressure gradient force (PGF) largely modifies the disc structure resulting into sudden dynamical changes in the accretion disc. The corotation radius is shifted inwards (outwards) for ξ > 1 (for ξ < 1) and the position of the inner edge with respect to the new corotation radius is also relocated accordingly as compared to the Keplerian model. The resulting PGF torque couples with viscous torque (when ξ < 1) to provide a spin-down torque and a spin-up torque (when ξ > 1) while in the advective state. Therefore, neglecting the PGF is a big omission as has been the case in previous models. This result has the potential of explaining the observable dynamic consequences of accretion discs around magnetized neutron stars.

“…Beyond being sexually assaulted, they can be linked in a historicity that runs underneath a bizarre East Asia chronotop to argue that even the B films are part of a whole become a byproduct that constitutes an axis of consumerism and reformist intent. Such films pave the ways for repression of an East Asia social order that seems conservative on the surface, but monstrous in its essence, just as David Der Wei Wang's (2004) interpretation of novels, "the monstrous is invoked as an objective correlative, so to speak, to the human account of past experience, registering what is immemorial and yet unforgettable in Chinese collective memory, and cautioning against any similar mishap in the future" (p. 7). Women's revenge is a reaction to such a "past experience" and "collective memory" which ironically let public revisit the painful object that has been harmed even as they demolish the devil of the molesting monsters.…”

This paper explores female images in the so-called "women's revenge" film genre of the 70s and 80s, produced in Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. On the surface, these films invariably attracted an audience in that period by using a lavish amount of sexual elements; underneath the women characters follow a drastically different trajectory amidst the historical and societal changes of the respective settings. That suggests that these B pictures should not be considered "abhorrent" by normal citizens, due to they have reverberations, as the violent female serves as a signifier to reflect social repression. However, pornography ends such erotic films as a type in Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, these revenge films go through a transfiguration for several reasons, such as mafia control, decolonization, fear, and censorship. This paper will not uncover all the background issues as western-inspired film scholarship delves into such neglected "bad" movies, these women's revenge films reveal their own heteroglossia, which sets up a peculiar chronotop in a Bakhtinian interpretation. Cultural study can widen the spectrum of research into many un-discovered areas, such as these campy but interesting bad movies.Keywords: women's revenge films, erotic films, Taiwan's social realist film, female body IntroductionFrom the very early age of drama in Greece and Rome there exist the strong female characters called female avengers. A few examples include Nemesis among the goddesses, who punishes the ones who do not respect divine law, and Medea, a wrathful woman against her husband who inspired many playwrights like Euripides and Seneca to write imaginative tragedies. Women are never as weak as what Hamlet describes his betraying mother, Gertrude.The theme of revenge, along with a heavy amount of gore, violence and exaggerated anger, continues to attract audience via B films or campy flicks whose makers often transgress common notions of sensuality. It is an excitement that provides the basic attraction all genre films. Revenge movies, in particular, have often been stigmatized, for people always consider them too low-brow and spooky. Perhaps for the reason why most film scholars tend to neglect those films. Although female avengers commonly exist, the limits of tastes of the academic eye have deterred further exploration of the deeper meanings of those ferocious women, especially in Asia.
