Review Essay Gilles Deleuze and his Readers A Touch of Voluntarism and an Excess of Out-Worldliness
Authors: Boundas Constantin V. 
Published: April 2008

A book review, if you will, can be a powerful tease for readers who anticipate extracting nuggets of insight from its parent source. It can also be—and often is—a way for the reviewer to bask in the glow of a good writer or, by the same token, to flaunt his own cleverness and sense of superiority at the expense of a struggling essayist. I never had conclusive evidence to hold myself immune to either of these temptations. This time, however, I am in a position—temptations notwithstanding—to render my services to interested readers, with the satisfaction that comes from knowing that the pains of composing a review have been fully redeemed by the pleasure of having read two books that made me think long and hard. May's and Hallward's books are very different from each other, in scope, ambition, and targeted readership: May chose to write an introduction to Deleuze—an introduction that could be read and appreciated even by those who know nothing, or very little, about Deleuze—and he did it with honesty, fidelity to the material he has been working with, and with the exquisite transparency and subtlety of his style. The result is one of the best introductions to the rhizome-Deleuze we have had that can be read profitably by beginners and Deleuze-aficionados alike.
The Dilemmas of the Dual Channel: Reid on Consciousness and Reflection
Authors: Mishori Daniel 
Published: April 2008

As an advocate of the empirical method in both science and philosophy, Reid believed that the central method for studying the mind should be internal observation, whose evidence he believed to be the most reliable in comparison with all other mental operations. The fact that his contemporary “science of mind” was not as highly developed as the natural sciences was explained by Reid to be the fault of philosophers, such as John Locke, who “confounded” two completely different powers of the mind: consciousness and reflection. In this paper I will present Reid's criticism of Locke, as well as Reid's own attempt to distinguish between consciousness and reflection, and the difficulties he is facing in this process. The paper concludes that Reid failed to depart from the essential Lockean characterizations of inner awareness, because of his failure to dissociate from premises he shares with Locke – such as the belief that we are conscious of all our thoughts, and the primacy of the introspective method in studying the mind. Therefore, while narrowing his concept of consciousness to an internal-sense, perceiving only present mental operations, he broadens respectively his concept of reflection.
‘You Know that Our Old Institute was Entirely Destroyed…’* On the History of the Frankfurt Psychoanalytical Institute (Fpi) 1929–1933
Authors: Plankers Tomas , Rothe Hans-Joachim 
Published: April 2008

Psychoanalytical Institutes had been founded in Berlin in 1920, in Vienna in 1922 and in London in 1925; the Frankfurt Psychoanalytical Institute (1929-1933) was thus among the first European Institutes. The closure in 1933 at the hands of the National Socialists obliterated virtually all memory, for decades, of psychoanalysis. It was not until the 1980s that a general interest in the history of the movement was revived and the Frankfurt Institute was rescued from oblivion. An interdisciplinary group, in which the authors participated, commenced with the documentation of interviews with survivors and the reconstruction from records and archives. The results were published in a remarkable volume to present the history of psychoanalysis in one city. The article illustrates the opening phase of the history from an institutional viewpoint. The Frankfurt Psychoanalytical Institute was established with guest status within the Institute for Social Research and under the auspices of Max Horkheimer, one of the founders of ‘Critical Theory’. Horkheimer's subsequent analysis of the relationship of ‘History and Psychology’ was based on the outcome of psychoanalytical work with Karl Landauer, the Director of the FPI in collaboration with Heinrich Meng. Other psychoanalysts from the FPI, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, Erich Fromm and S.H. Foulkes, were to reach international acclaim for their pioneering work after their emigration. The intention is to show the inauguration of the FPI in 1929, its concept, members and results and the circumstances of its closure in 1933.
Sigmund Freud, Translator of The Enfranchisement of Women By J.S. Mill
Authors: Ricaud Michelle Moreau 
Published: April 2008

After the death of Mill's official translator, Freud (then a brilliant and impoverished student) was offered by Gomperz, thanks to the recommendation of his philosophy teacher von Brentano, the translation of the last volume of John Stuart Mill's works. This included the revolutionary essay of 1851 (by Mill and/or by his partner Mrs Harriet Taylor) on the enfranchisement of women. My hypothesis is that, far from leaving Freud unscathed, this commissioned work had affected some of his negative views about women, which were anyway common in the culture of his times. J.S. Mill (1806–1873), the utopian philosopher whose influence on his theories Freud never acknowledged, might have had an effect, without him becoming aware of it, on his way of listening to the complaints and demands of his female patients, who had cooperated with him in the creation of his technique. The activity of translating (which, according to Valery Larbaud, has ‘something sexual about it’) was able later to play a part in giving birth to Freud's theories on the issue of ‘femininity’, in relation to both women and men. Apres la mort du traducteur officiel, Freud, etudiant brillant et necessiteux, se voit confer par Gomperz et sur la recommandation du philosophe von Brentano dont it est l'etudiant, la traduction du dernier volume des oeuvres de John Stuart Mill, dans lequel se trouve l'essai revolutionnaire (de Mill et/ou sa compagne Mrs Harriet Taylor) de 1851 sur l'affranchissement des femmes. Loin de laisser Freud indemne, ce travail de commande va - c'est mon hypothese - entamer quelques uns de ses prejuges negatifs a l'encontre des femmes (qui flottaient d'ailleurs dans fair du temps). Ce philosophe utopiste, J. S. Mill (1806–1873) - dont Freud ne mentionne pourtant jamais l'influence sur sa propre theorie - pourrait avoir, a son insu et pour une large part, modifie son ecoute des plaintes et revendications de ses patientes, devenues co-creatrices de sa technique. L'acte de traduction (qui a selon Valery Larbaud ‘quelque chose de sexuel’), a pu produire plus tard chez Freud un enfant theorique, en particulier autour du ‘feminin’, questionnee chez la femme et chez F homme.
At the Origins of Jungian Thought: Culture and Method. Elements of a Separation'
Authors: Devescovi Pier Claudio 
Published: April 2008

The author argues that Jung, at the time of his first meeting with Freud, had already developed his own understanding of the Unconscious and of psychic functioning and had autonomously elaborated a research method of his own. Jung's ideas, formed during his university years, had been influenced by the humanistic cultural climate prevailing in Basel, in particular, by the works of Renaissance historian Jakob Burckhardt. Jung further developed his thinking during his placement at the Burgholzli Psychiatric Clinic in Zurich. The author's views are supported by published documents and still unpublished material from the archives of Basel and Zurich. After reading Freud's early works, in particular, The Interpretation of Dreams, which were consistent with his own views, Jung approached him in the hope to collaborate with him. Freud was looking for new followers who would spread his ideas and was well disposed towards Jung as a successor who could pursue his work. The two men, however, had different cultural backgrounds and ways of thinking and had built their own hypotheses independently of each other. The author believes that their relationship and their separation turned around this fundamental problem.
The Restoration of Psychoanalysis in Germany After 1945: Some Focal Points in the Development of Clinical Theory
Authors: Bohleber Werner 
Published: April 2008

After 1945, the development in psychoanalysis in Germany was initially dominated by the programme that had begun at the Göring Institute of integrating the schools of depth-psychology. The connection to philosophical anthropology led to a polemic against a form of psychoanalysis based on the natural sciences. The return of psychoanalysis as it was taught in the International Psychoanalytical Association and the advance of ego psychology put an end to this development. The hermeneutic debate of the 1960s was an impetus for fruitful further developments in ego psychology (‘scenic understanding’) as well as in object relations psychology and the related treatment technique. The debate over the severe pathologies at the end of the 1970s did not bring forth much in the way of independent contributions. The ruptures in this development of psychoanalysis in Germany are interpreted against the background of the coming to terms with National Socialism and the Holocaust. Nach 1945 beherrschte zunächst das im Göring Institut begonnene Programm der synoptischen Verbindung der tiefenpsychologischen Schulen die Entwicklung der Psychoanalyse in Deutschland. Die Verbindung mit der philosophischen Anthropologie und deren scharfer Gegensätzlichkeit zwischen Natur und Geist führte zu einer Polemik gegen die naturwissenschaftliche Psychoanalyse. Die Rückkehr der Psychoanalyse Sigmund Freuds und das Einströmen der Ich-Psychologie beendete diese Entwicklung. Angestoßen durch die Hermeneutik-Debatte der sechziger Jahre kam es zu fruchtbaren Weiterentwicklungen der Ich-Psychologie (‘szenisches Verstehen’) sowie der Objektbeziehungspsychologie und damit verbunden der Behandlungstechnik. Zu der Debatte um die schweren Pathologien Ende der siebziger Jahre entstanden keine eigenständigen Beiträge mehr. Die Brüche in dieser Entwicklung der Psychoanalyse in Deutschland werden auf dem Hintergrund der Auseinandersetzung mit Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust interpretiert. Scham, Schuld, Idealisierung sowie die Diffusion der Generationsgrenzen bildeten ein untergründiges Spannungsfeld.
Lenin, Sexuality and Psychoanalysis
Authors: Chemouni Jacquy 
Published: April 2008

Si l'on connaît l'adhésion relativement favorable de Trotsky aux idées freudiennes, on ignore par contre l'attitude de Lénine à l'égard de la psychanalyse. A l'encontre de certains historiens qui voient dans le père de la Révolution d'Octobre un adepte des idées freudiennes, l'auteur au contraire montre, documents à l'appui, qu'il rejetait la psychanalyse, surtout sa perspective jugée ‘idéaliste’ et l'importance accordée à la sexualité. La personnalité prude de Lénine, le rôle jouée par sa femme Nadezhda Krupskaya et leur idéologie ne pouvaient qu'exclure la psychanalyse du renouveau de l'homme que le marxisme se proposait d'entreprendre en Russie.While Trotsky's relatively favourable adherence to Freudian ideas is well documented, little is known about Lenin's attitude toward psychoanalysis. The author's extensive researches show that, far from being the follower of Freudian ideas depicted by some historians, the father of the October Revolution rejected psychoanalytic theory and, in particular, the perspective he considered ‘idealistic’ and the importance attributed to sexuality. Lenin's prudish personality, the influence of his wife Nadezhda Krupskaya and their ideology resulted in the exclusion of psychoanalysis from the construction of the New Man that Marxism was planning to undertake in Russia.
A Neolithic Structure and Bronze Age Activity at West Flank Road, Drumchapel, Glasgow
Authors: Macgregor Gavin , Cullen Irene , Alldritt Diane , Donnelly Michael , Miller Jennifer , Squair Robert 
Published: April 2008

SummaryA programme of archaeological work was undertaken by Glasgow University Archaeological Research Division (GUARD) at West Flank Road, Drumchapel, in close proximity to the site of the prehistoric cemetery of Knappers. This paper considers the results of excavation of a range of negative features, including earlier Neolithic and Bronze Age pits and postholes. The earlier Neolithic features date to c. 3500–3000 BC and are interpreted as the partial remains of a subrectangular structure. The Bronze Age features may relate to ceremonial activities in the wider area. The significance of these remains is considered in relation to the site of Knappers and wider traditions during the fourth to second millennia BC.

Published: April 2008

SummaryA palisaded enclosure and associated features were excavated by CFA Archaeology Ltd (CFA) in advance of the construction of the proposed Glasgow Southern Orbital Road. Radiocarbon dates indicate that the palisade and at least some of the internal features date to the Early Historic period, between the 8th and 10th centuries cal. AD. The Titwood palisade is currently the only site of this date to have been excavated in western mainland Scotland, as well as being one of the few known Early Historic palisaded sites in Scotland. Evidence of Neolithic activity on the site was also established. The work was commissioned by ASH Consulting Group on behalf of East Renfrewshire Council.

Published: April 2008

AbstractThis paper outlines current standard methods of inducing T lymphopoiesis in vitro and in vivo. Reference is made to both murine and human systems. In addition to differentiation assays, methods to optimally characterize output cells are discussed. In bringing together a number of existing protocols, many techniques important in investigating T cell development can be reviewed in one place.
Electropolymerization kinetics of a binary mixture of pyrrole and o‐aminobenzoic acid and characterization of the obtained polymer films
Authors: Sayyah S. M. , El‐Rabiey M. M. , Abd El‐Rehim S. S. , Azooz R. E. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractPoly (pyrrol‐co‐o‐aminobenzoic acid) has been synthesized electrochemically from an aqueous acid medium. The initial rate of electrocopolymerization reaction on platinum electrode is small and the rate law is: Rate = K2 [D]1.02[HCl] 1.44[M]2.00. The apparent activation energy (Ea) is found to be 90.11 kJ mol−1. The polymer films obtained have been characterized by cyclic voltammetry, X‐ray diffraction, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, 1H NMR, and IR‐spectroscopy. The mechanism of the electrochemical polymerization reaction has been discussed. The monomer reactivity ratios (r1 and r2) were calculated. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
Characterization of polymer‐brush‐type polysaccharide β‐ketoesters
Authors: Yoshida Yutaka , Isogai Akira 
Published: April 2008

AbstractPolyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and four glucans, cellulose, curdlan, amylase, and pullulan, were dissolved in 8% lithium chloride/1,3‐dimethyl‐2‐imidazolodinone, and reacted with ketene dimers with long alkyl or alkenyl chains under homogeneous conditions. The corresponding polysaccharide β‐ketoesters with degrees of substitution (DS) of 2.1–2.9 and the PVA β‐ketoester with DS 0.9 were prepared in the yields of 80–90%. Solution‐state 1H‐ and 13C‐NMR spectra of the polysaccharide and PVA β‐ketoesters revealed that the polymer chains behaved like solid even in solutions. However, size‐exclusion chromatographic analysis showed that the polysaccharide and PVA β‐ketoesters prepared had random‐coil conformations in tetrahydrofuran, which could not explain the anomalous NMR patterns. The specific chemical structures of the substituents having long and branched alkyl or alkenyl chains may have brought about such specific solution‐state NMR patterns, irrespective of the chemical structures of the polymer backbones. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Investigation of sorption and diffusion of supercritical carbon dioxide in polycarbonate
Authors: Zhao J. J. , Zhao Y. P. , Yang B. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractSorption and desorption of carbon dioxide (CO2) in polycarbonate (PC) with different dimensions were systematically investigated at temperatures of 40, 60, and 80°C; pressures ranged from 7 to 20 MPa; and soaking time ranged from 0.5 to 4 h. The experimental data were analyzed by a mass‐loss analysis. With the assumption of Fickian diffusion, the sorption amount and the sorption diffusivities (Ds) under supercritical conditions, and desorption diffusivities (Dd) under ambient temperature and pressure were determined. The crossover of the sorption isotherms was presented, which indicated that the change of mass transfer mechanism had occurred. It was found that Ds increased with temperature, whereas Dd showed a contrary trend. Moreover, the linear relationship between sorption amount and specific surface area was also observed, which suggested that the specific surface area was one of the important factors on the sorption amount for thick samples in swelling process. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: April 2008

AbstractBACKGROUND.Total Therapy (TT) programs are complex and their execution over the course of several years is fraught with patient attrition due to failure and toxicity of therapy and patient/physician acceptance.METHODS.The impact of completion versus noncompletion of intended treatment steps was examined in protocols TT2 (n = 668) and TT3 (n = 303) on overall survival (OS) and event‐free survival (EFS).RESULTS.By using appropriate landmarks of 36 months with TT2 and 18 months with TT3, representing the maxima to completion of premaintenance phases, postconsolidation OS was superior for 211 patients completing versus 311 patients not completing premaintenance steps on TT2 (P= .001), which also pertained to the 161 patients completing versus 47 not completing intended treatment steps on TT3 (P= .01). On multivariate analysis that included all patients, completion of therapy independently favored longer OS and EFS in the context of both standard prognostic factors and gene expression profiling‐defined risk; in addition, TT3 prolonged EFS over results obtained with TT2.CONCLUSIONS.1) Completion of intended therapy was a significant independent variable conferring superior OS and EFS in TT programs; and 2) after adjusting for completion of therapy, EFS was still superior with TT3 versus TT2, supporting the beneficial role of bortezomib included in TT3. Collectively, these data point to the importance of designing clinical trials that balance the treatment requirements for disease control with host acceptance and tolerance.

Diagnosing eating disorders in adolescents: A comparison of the eating disorder examination and the development and well‐being assessment
Authors: House Jennifer , Eisler Ivan , Simic Mima , Micali Nadia 
Published: April 2008

AbstractObjective:To compare the diagnostic properties of the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) and the online version of the Development and Well‐Being Assessment (DAWBA).Method:Fifty‐Seven adolescents (mean age 15.7 years) who attended consecutive assessments at a specialist eating disorders clinic completed the DAWBA, the EDE, and a standard clinical assessment with a multidisciplinary team. Cohen's Kappas were used to make pairwise comparisons between the diagnoses generated by the three assessments.Results:Participants had anorexia nervosa (n = 30), eating disorders NOS (n = 21) or no eating disorder (n = 6) according to the clinical diagnosis. Agreement between the clinical and DAWBA diagnoses was moderate (κ = 0.59), agreement between the DAWBA and EDE diagnoses was fair (κ = 0.21), and agreement between the clinical and EDE diagnoses was poor (κ = 0.10). The EDE did not identify an eating disorder in 20 participants (35% of the sample) who were clinically assessed as cases.Conclusion:Computerized measures using multiple informants may be more suitable for assessing clinical samples of adolescents with anorexia nervosa or eating disorders NOS than individual interviews with young people. © 2008 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Memantine in the treatment of binge eating disorder: An open‐label, prospective trial
Authors: Brennan Brian P. , Roberts Jacqueline L. , Fogarty Kate V. , Reynolds Karina A. , Jonas Jeffrey M. , Hudson James I. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractObjective:To assess preliminarily the efficacy of memantine in binge eating disorder.Method:This was an open‐label, 12‐week, flexible‐dose (5–20 mg/day) trial of memantine in binge eating disorder. The primary outcome was frequency of binge days. Secondary outcomes included frequency of binge episodes, body‐mass index (BMI), weight, Clinical Global Impressions Severity (CGI‐S), Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ), Montgomery–Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM‐A), and Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS). Longitudinal random regression analysis was performed for frequency of binge days and episodes, BMI, weight, and CGI‐S; analysis of baseline to endpoint change was performed for all outcomes.Results:Sixteen individuals received memantine; 15 completed at least one postbaseline evaluation, 9 completed the study. Mean dose at endpoint was 18.3 mg/day. Memantine was associated with significant reductions in frequency of binge days and episodes, severity of illness (p < .001 for both analyses), disinhibition on the TFEQ (p = .015), and disability on the SDS (p < .05 for three subscales). There was no significant change in BMI, weight, MADRS, HAM‐A, and TFEQ cognitive restraint and hunger.Conclusion:In this open‐label trial, memantine was well tolerated and effective in reducing binge eating, severity of illness, and disability, but had little effect on BMI and weight. © 2008 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Properties of quantum gain of coding with information criterion by binary linear codes
Authors: Ishida Yuki , Usami Shogo , Usuda Tsuyoshi Sasaki , Takumi Ichi 
Published: April 2008

AbstractIn quantum information theory, superadditivity in the capacity of a quantum channel occurs as a special property. We present a method of calculating the mutual information analytically for binary linear codes by using square‐root measurement as the decoding process. Many examples of codes showing the existence of superadditivity in capacity have been given in the past, but the scope of the method was not clarified. In the present paper, we show that the method can be applied to any binary linear codes. We also show that the quantum channel capacity is almost fully attained in a finite codeword length by using approximation to simplex code. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
