description: The qudit state for j = 3=2 with density matrix of the form corresponding to X-state of two-qubits is studied from the point of view of entanglement and separability properties. The method of qubit portrait of qudit states is used to get the entropic inequalities for the entangled state of the single qudit. The tomographic probability representation of the qudit X-state under consideration and its Shannon and q-entropic characteristics are presented in explicit form.

description: Η σχέση μεταξύ του φορτίου του αγώνα και της εβδομαδιαίας προπονητικής επιβάρυνσης στο ποδόσφαιρο είναι μια σημαντική παράμετρος στην προετοιμασία, στην απόδοση και στην πρόληψη τραυματισμών των ποδοσφαιριστών. Η κατάλληλη ισορροπία του φορτίου μεταξύ αγώνων και προπονήσεων είναι ζωτικής σημασίας για να διασφαλιστεί ότι οι παίκτες είναι επαρκώς προετοιμασμένοι, τόσο σωματικά όσο και τακτικά, για τους επίσημους αγώνες, ελαχιστοποιώντας παράλληλα τον κίνδυνο κόπωσης και τραυματισμών υπερχρήσης. Στο συγκεκριμένο πεδίο που ερευνούμε, υπάρχει ερευνητικό κενό καθότι η βιβλιογραφία που υπάρχει πάνω στο θέμα είναι περιορισμένη. Σκοπός της έρευνας είναι να κατανοηθεί η αναλογία ανάμεσα στην εβδομάδα και στον αγώνα κατά την διάρκεια της αγωνιστικής περιόδου. Η έρευνα πραγματοποιήθηκε για 14 αγωνιστικούς μικρόκυκλους και επομένως για 14 επίσημα παιχνίδια της SUPER LEAGUE του ελληνικού πρωταθλήματος. Το δείγμα της έρευνας ήταν 17 επαγγελματίες ποδοσφαιριστές ομάδας που αγωνίζονται στην ελληνική SUPER LEAGUE. Οι μεταβλητές που εξετάστηκαν ήταν η συνολική απόσταση, το τρέξιμο σε υψηλή ένταση, το τρέξιμο σε σπρίντ, η μέγιστη ταχύτητα, ο αριθμός των επιταχύνσεων και των επιβραδύνσεων καθώς και ο αριθμός των επιταχύνσεων και επιβραδύνσεων υψηλής έντασης. Οι παίκτες χωρίστηκαν σε γκρουπ ανάλογα με τις τακτικές θέσεις τους. Τα δεδομένα του εξωτερικού φορτίου κάθε ποδοσφαιριστή καταγράφονταν κατά την διεξαγωγή της έρευνας από το σύστημα GPS 10-Hz GPS πομπούς (JOHAN Sports, Noordwijk, the Netherlands).
description: The relationship between match and training workload in soccer is an important aspect of player development, performance, and injury prevention. The workload balance between matches and training sessions is crucial to ensure players are adequately prepared, both physically and tactically, for competitive games while minimizing the risk of fatigue and overuse injuries. In the specific field we are researching, there is a research gap as the existing literature on the subject is limited. The purpose of the research is to understand the ratio between the week and the match during the competition season. The research was carried out for 14 competitive microcycles and therefore for 14 official games of the SUPER LEAGUE of the Greek league. The research sample was 17 professional team soccer players who compete in the Greek SUPER LEAGUE. Variables examined were total distance, high intensity running, sprinting, maximum speed, number of accelerations and decelerations and number of high intensity accelerations and decelerations. The players were divided into groups according to their tactical positions. The external load data of each soccer player was recorded during the research by the GPS system 10-Hz GPS sensors (JOHAN Sports, Noordwijk, the Netherlands).

description: Progress in understanding star formation requires detailed observational constraints on the initial conditions, i.e. dense clumps and cores in giant molecular clouds that are on the verge of gravitational instability. Such structures have been studied by their extinction of Near-Infrared (NIR) and, more recently, Mid-Infrared (MIR) background light. It has been somewhat more of a surprise to find that there are regions that appear as dark shadows at Far-Infrared (FIR) wavelengths as long as $\sim$100$μm$. Here we develop analysis methods of FIR images from Spitzer-MIPS and Herschel-PACS that allow quantitative measurements of cloud mass surface density, $Σ$. The method builds upon that developed for MIR extinction mapping (MIREX) (Butler and Tan 2012), in particular involving a search for independent saturated, i.e. very opaque, regions that allow measurement of the foreground intensity. We focus on three massive starless core/clumps in IRDC G028.37+00.07, deriving mass surface density maps from 3.5 to 70$μm$. A by-product of this analysis is measurement of the spectral energy distribution of the diffuse foreground emission. The lower opacity at 70$μm$ allows us to probe to higher $Σ$ values, up to $\sim1\:{\rm{g\:cm}^{-2}}$ in the densest parts of the core/clumps. Comparison of the $Σ$ maps at different wavelengths constrains the shape of the MIR-FIR dust opacity law in IRDCs. We find it is most consistent with the thick ice mantle models of Ossenkopf and Henning (1994). There is tentative evidence for grain ice mantle growth as one goes from lower to higher $Σ$ regions.

description: We present results of a Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating (HETG) observation of the carbon-rich Wolf-Rayet (WR) star WR48a. These are the first high-resolution spectra of this object in X-rays. Blue-shifted centroids of the spectral lines of about -360 km/s and line widths of 1000 - 1500 km/s (FWHM) were deduced from the analysis of the line profiles of strong emission lines. The forbidden line of Si XIII is strong and not suppressed, indicating that the rarefied 10-30 MK plasma forms far from strong sources of far-UV emission, most likely in a wind collision zone. Global spectral modeling showed that the X-ray spectrum of WR48a suffered higher absorption in the October 2012 Chandra observation compared to a previous January 2008 XMM-Newton observation. The emission measure of the hot plasma in WR48a decreased by a factor ~ 3 over the same period of time. The most likely physical picture that emerges from the analysis of the available X-ray data is that of colliding stellar winds in a wide binary system with an elliptical orbit. We propose that the unseen secondary star in the system is another WR star or perhaps a luminous blue variable.

description: This paper is concerned with the inflow problem for the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations. For such a problem, Matsumura and Nishihara showed in [A. Matsumura and K. Nishihara, Large-time behaviors of solutions to an inflow problem in the half space for a one-dimensional system of compressible viscous gas. Comm. Math. Phys. 222 (2001), 449-474] that there exists boundary layer solution to the inflow problem and both the boundary layer solution, the rarefaction wave, and the superposition of boundary layer solution and rarefaction wave are nonlinear stable under small initial perturbation. The main purpose of this paper is to show that similar stability results for the boundary layer solution and the supersonic rarefaction wave still hold for a class of large initial perturbation which can allow the initial density to have large oscillation. The proofs are given by an elementary energy method and the key point is to deduce the desired lower and upper bounds on the density function.

description: The additive genetic effect is arguably the most important quantity inferred in animal and plant breeding analyses. The term effect indicates that it represents causal information, which is different from standard statistical concepts as regression coefficient and association. The process of inferring causal information is also different from standard statistical learning, as the former requires causal (i.e. non-statistical) assumptions and involves extra complexities. Remarkably, the task of inferring genetic effects is largely seen as a standard regression/prediction problem, contradicting its label. This widely accepted analysis approach is by itself insufficient for causal learning, suggesting that causality is not the point for selection. Given this incongruence, it is important to verify if genomic predictors need to represent causal effects to be relevant for selection decisions, especially because applying regression studies to answer causal questions may lead to wrong conclusions. The answer to this question defines if genomic selection models should be constructed aiming maximum genomic predictive ability or aiming identifiability of genetic causal effects. Here, we demonstrate that selection relies on a causal effect from genotype to phenotype, and that genomic predictors are only useful for selection if they distinguish such effect from other sources of association. Conversely, genomic predictors capturing non-causal signals provide information that is less relevant for selection regardless of the resulting predictive ability. Focusing on covariate choice decision, simulated examples are used to show that predictive ability, which is the criterion normally used to compare models, may not indicate the quality of genomic predictors for selection. Additionally, we propose using alternative criteria to construct models aiming for the identification of the genetic causal effects.

description: The absorption, modulated photoreflectance, and photovoltage spectra of dichlorotin phthalocyanine (SnCl2Pc) films have been measured. These films are thermally deposited in vacuum at different substrate temperatures. The energies of charge-transfer-states (CT-states) in SnCl2Pc films (1.35, 1.52, and 2.05 eV) and the diffusion length of Frenkel excitons (130+/-30 nm) have been determined. The photosensitivity of SnCl2Pc films is comparable to that of n-type perylene derivative (MPP) layers and by several times (~ 5) more than the photosensitivity of thermally deposited n-type C60 films.
Effects of Backpack Type on Kinematics of the Lower Back During Walking and Jogging
Creators: name: Suri, Cazmon
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Abstract:
Heavy backpacks have been suggested to have a pathogenic role in experience of low back pain among children. We have conducted a repeated-measure study to investigate the backpack-induced changes in lumbo-pelvic coordination of forty gender-balanced college age students when they walked and jogged on a treadmill with two different types of backpacks: normal and ergonomically modified. The backpack-induced changes in lumbo-pelvic coordination were larger when carrying an ergonomically modified vs. a normal backpack as well as when jogging versus walking. The larger changes in lumbo-pelvic coordination when carrying an ergonomically modified backpack were likely due to kinematic restraints imposed by rigidity and enhanced attachments devised in the backpack for increased comfort. Given the role of lower back biomechanics in low back pain, the effects of such larger mechanical abnormalities in the lower back when carrying an ergonomically-modified backpack on risk of low back pain among children requires further investigation.

description: The cobalt oxide system LaCoO$_3$ and its Sr-doped child compounds have been intensively studied for decades due to their intriguing magnetic and electronic properties. Preparing thin La$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$CoO$_3$ (LSCO) films on different substrates allows for studies with a new type of perturbation, as the films are subject to substrate-dependent epitaxial strain. By choosing a proper substrate for a thin film grow, not only compressing but also tensile strain can be applied. The consequences for the fundamental physical properties are dramatic: while compressed films are metallic, as the bulk material, films under tensile strain become insulating. The goal of this work is to determine the strain tensor in LSCO films prepared on LaAlO$_3$ and SrTiO$_3$ substrates by pulsed laser deposition using RBS/channelling methods. Apart from the composition and defect structure of the samples, the depth dependence of the strain tensor, the cell parameters, and the volume of the unit cell are also determined. Asymmetric behaviour of the strained cell parameters is found on both substrates. This asymmetry is rather weak in the case of LSCO film grown on LaAlO$_3$, while stronger on SrTiO$_3$ substrate. The strain is more effective at the interface, some relaxation can be observed near to the surface.

description: We study normal forms of scalar integrable dispersive (non necessarily Hamiltonian) conservation laws via the Dubrovin-Zhang perturbative scheme. Our computations support the conjecture that such normal forms are parametrised by infinitely many arbitrary functions that can be identified with the coefficients of the quasilinear part of the equation. More in general, we conjecture that two scalar integrable evolutionary PDEs having the same quasilinear part are Miura equivalent. This conjecture is also consistent with the tensorial behaviour of these coefficients under general Miura transformations.

Improving Table Scans for Trie Indexed Databases

Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries

description: Abstract:
We consider a class of problems characterized by the need for a string based identifier that reflect the ontology of the application domain. We present rules for string-based identifier schemas that facilitate fast filtering in databases used for this class of problems. We provide runtime analysis of our schema and experimentally compare it with another solution. We also discuss performance in our solution to a game engine. The string-based identifier schema can be used in addition scenarios such as cloud computing. An identifier schema adds metadata about an element. So the solution hinges on additional memory but as long as queries operate only on the included metadata there is no need to load the element from disk which leads to huge performance gains.

description: A generalized topology in a set $X$ is a collection $\text{Cov}_X$ of families of subsets of $X$ such that the triple $(X,\bigcup \text{Cov}_X,\text{Cov}_X)$ is a generalized topological space in the sense of Delfs and Knebusch. In this work, notions of topological and admissible compactness of generalized topologies are introduced to begin and investigate a theory of compactifications, in particular, of Wallman type in the category of weakly normal generalized topological spaces. Among other facts, we prove in ZF that the ultrafilter theorem (in abbreviation UFT) holds if and only if all Wallman extensions of every weakly normal generalized topological space are compact. In consequence, we develop the theory of compactifications in ZF+UFT when it is not necessary to use AC, while ZF is not enough.

Music Therapists' Perceptions and Practices Regarding Musical Authenticity in Music Therapy Practice
Creators: name: Veblen, Nora Bryant
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Abstract:
Music therapists are expected to provide live music for clients with diverse preferences, yet these therapists face many barriers preventing them from recreating client-preferred music in a way that adheres to the expectations of the genre, or with “musical authenticity.” The purpose of this study was to investigate music therapists’ perceptions and practices regarding musical authenticity. Survey responses (n = 904) indicated that music therapists highly value musical authenticity, but a major theme in the qualitative data revealed they often balance its importance with other factors. Descriptive survey data and qualitative themes revealed lack of training in functional musicianship and electronic technology as major barriers to musical authenticity. A major qualitative theme regarding therapists’ practices was the use of collaboration with clients and creative solutions. Most participants indicated use of non-electronic strategies and reported they had not used electronic technology to increase musical authenticity. Descriptive survey data and qualitative themes revealed frequent and effective use of recorded music. Finally, chi-square analyses revealed significant relationships between age and use of technology and iPad and between gender and use of technology. Music therapists would benefit from additional training, more research on authenticity, and music therapy specific guidelines for using music authentically.

description: Simply-connected manifolds of positive sectional curvature $M$ are speculated to have a rigid topological structure. In particular, they are conjectured to be rationally elliptic, i.e., all but finitely many homotopy groups are conjectured to be finite. In this article we combine positive curvature with rational ellipticity to obtain several topological properties of the underlying manifold. These results include a small upper bound on the Euler characteristic and confirmations of famous conjectures by Hopf and Halperin under additional torus symmetry. We prove several cases (including all known even-dimensional examples of positively curved manifolds) of a conjecture by Wilhelm.
Music Therapy and Multicultural Competence: A Survey of Music Therapists' Training and Perceptions
Creators: name: Cahoon, Laura Kay
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Abstract:
The changing demographics of the United States directly impacts the populations that music therapists serve. The American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) provides a list of competencies regarding race, culture, and diversity, but how these are addressed in the classroom is not standardized. The purpose of this study was to examine music therapists’ perceptions of their training in multicultural competence. The researcher emailed 7,539 board-certified music therapists, 631 of whom completed the survey. Results indicated that 55.6% of music therapists think that multicultural competence is important, and the majority said that they felt prepared to demonstrate multicultural competence after completion of an undergraduate/equivalency music therapy program. Chi square analyses showed no significant associations between ratings of importance and gender or race/ethnicity. Results also indicated that classroom instruction was the most common way the competencies were addressed in undergraduate/equivalency programs. Qualitative analysis of how participants thought they could be better prepared revealed four themes: music skills, curricular integration, experience, and classroom activities.

Revstack sort, zigzag patterns, descent polynomials of $t$-revstack sortable permutations, and Steingrímsson's sorting conjecture
Creators: name: Dukes, Mark
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we examine the sorting operator $T(LnR)=T(R)T(L)n$. Applying this operator to a permutation is equivalent to passing the permutation reversed through a stack. We prove theorems that characterise $t$-revstack sortability in terms of patterns in a permutation that we call $zigzag$ patterns. Using these theorems we characterise those permutations of length $n$ which are sorted by $t$ applications of $T$ for $t=0,1,2,n-3,n-2,n-1$. We derive expressions for the descent polynomials of these six classes of permutations and use this information to prove Steingrímsson's sorting conjecture for those six values of $t$. Symmetry and unimodality of the descent polynomials for general $t$-revstack sortable permutations is also proven and three conjectures are given.

description: Silicon nanochannel field effect transistor (FET) biosensors are one of the most promising technologies in the development of highly sensitive and label-free analyte detection for cancer diagnostics. With their exceptional electrical properties and small dimensions, silicon nanochannels are ideally suited for extraordinarily high sensitivity. In fact, the high surface-to-volume ratios of these systems make single molecule detection possible. Further, FET biosensors offer the benefits of high speed, low cost, and high yield manufacturing, without sacrificing the sensitivity typical for traditional optical methods in diagnostics. Top down manufacturing methods leverage advantages in Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technologies, making richly multiplexed sensor arrays a reality. Here, we discuss the fabrication and use of silicon nanochannel FET devices as biosensors for breast cancer diagnosis and monitoring.

description: Nowadays, we are to find out solutions to huge computing problems very rapidly. It brings the idea of parallel computing in which several machines or processors work cooperatively for computational tasks. In the past decades, there are a lot of variations in perceiving the importance of parallelism in computing machines. And it is observed that the parallel computing is a superior solution to many of the computing limitations like speed and density; non-recurring and high cost; and power consumption and heat dissipation etc. The commercial multiprocessors have emerged with lower prices than the mainframe machines and supercomputers machines. In this article the high performance computing (HPC) through parallel programming paradigms (PPPs) are discussed with their constructs and design approaches.

description: We have already conducted a series of surveys through Lucid on individuals’ demographics, connections on a digital platform, and their valuations of these connections and digital platforms. In this document we are pre-registering a follow-up survey and analysis plan. The survey will collect information on 2,500 users of each of four popular social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn), with a focus on their number of contacts, valuation of the platform, social media usage, and other socio-economic and demographic information. The first question we are interested in is the relationship between the number of contacts and platform valuation. Our main specification will be a linear regression with an intercept term. In secondary specifications we will replace the number of contacts with the log of the number of contacts, and include additional linear controls. We are also interested in how platform valuations vary with socio-economic, demographic and platform usage characteristics, as well as question framing. Our main analysis will first select covariates (and their interactions) with explanatory power using LASSO. We will then run a regression of platform valuation on the LASSO selected coefficients and interactions. As secondary specifications, we will estimate how the average platform valuation varies by demographically defined sub-groups.

description: Packet classification is a vital and complicated task as the processing of packets should be done at a specified line speed. In order to classify a packet as belonging to a particular flow or set of flows, network nodes must perform a search over a set of filters using multiple fields of the packet as the search key. Hence the matching of packets should be much faster and simpler for quick processing and classification. A hardware accelerator or a classifier has been proposed here using a modified version of the HyperCuts packet classification algorithm. A new pre-cutting process has been implemented to reduce the memory size to fit in an FPGA. This classifier can classify packets with high speed and with a power consumption factor of less than 3W. This methodology removes the need for floating point division to be performed by replacing the region compaction scheme of HyperCuts by pre-cutting, while classifying the packets and concentrates on classifying the packets at the core of the network.

description: This research evaluated the feasibility of a Seniors Exercise Park program among older adults with mild balance dysfunction. The program involved 18 weeks of gradual reduction of supervised training and six weeks of unsupervised training at the Seniors Exercise Park. The results showed that the program was feasible, safe, and improved physical performance, quality of life and psychosocial health. However, adherence to unsupervised training was low, and strategies are needed to manage adherence during independent practice and dropouts.

description: Presentation at the Open Access Seminar at University of Birmingham about open access to academic journals, discussing various arguments for and against it. The most important argument in favor of open access is that it can save human lives. Open Access is currently supported by many prominent researchers and even Nobel Prize winners, as well as by thousands of scientists all over the world. Knowledge is a basic human right and everyone should have equal opportunity to access it. Some statistics for Sci-Hub website attached. Over the course of several years, United Kingdom universities contributed up to seven million papers to Sci-Hub, a shadow library website providing free access to research articles from journals. Legal problems of shadow libraries are discussed and potential solutions proposed.

description: Participants at the Navigating the Complexities of Open Science session held on August 1, 2024 at the 2024 Force11 conference at UCLA had the opportunity to consider how we overcome challenges in supporting open science, transparency and collaboration. We began with the questions: Is open science just the latest buzzword? Does it provide an actionable framework to improve the experience of researchers and those who support them? Through an initial poll and followed by group discussions, we delved into current pain points encountered while supporting open science and sought to identify prospective solutions and actionable paths forward. Slides include themes discussed and reports generated during group breakout conversations.

description: The stochastic solution to diffusion equations with polynomial coefficients is called a Pearson diffusion. If the time derivative is replaced by a distributed fractional derivative, the stochastic solution is called a fractional Pearson diffusion. This paper develops a formula for the covariance function of a fractional Pearson diffusion in steady state, in terms of generalized Mittag-Leffler functions. That formula shows that fractional Pearson diffusions are long-range dependent, with a correlation that falls off like a power law, whose exponent equals the smallest order of the distributed fractional derivative.

description: Young, nearby stars are ideal targets to search for planets using the direct imaging technique. The determination of stellar parameters is crucial for the interpretation of imaging survey results particularly since the luminosity of substellar objects has a strong dependence on system age. We have conducted a large program with NaCo at the VLT in order to search for planets and brown dwarfs in wide orbits around 86 stars. A large fraction of the targets observed with NaCo were poorly investigated in the literature. We performed a study to characterize the fundamental properties (age, distance, mass) of the stars in our sample. To improve target age determinations, we compiled and analyzed a complete set of age diagnostics. We measured spectroscopic parameters and age diagnostics using dedicated observations acquired with FEROS and CORALIE spectrographs at La Silla Observatory. We also made extensive use of archival spectroscopic data and results available in the literature. Additionally, we exploited photometric time-series, available in ASAS and Super-WASP archives, to derive rotation period for a large fraction of our program stars. We provided updated characterization of all the targets observed in the VLT NaCo Large program, a survey designed to probe the occurrence of exoplanets and brown dwarfs in wide orbits. The median distance and age of our program stars are 64 pc and 100 Myr, respectively. Nearly all the stars have masses between 0.70 and 1.50sun, with a median value of 1.01 Msun. The typical metallicity is close to solar, with a dispersion that is smaller than that of samples usually observed in radial velocity surveys. Several stars are confirmed or proposed here to be members of nearby young moving groups. Eight spectroscopic binaries are identified.

description: In tunnel junctions with ferroelectric barriers, switching the polarization direction modifies the electrostatic potential profile and the associated average tunnel barrier height. This results in strong changes of the tunnel transmission and associated resistance. The information readout in ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs) is thus resistive and non-destructive, which is an advantage compared to the case of conventional ferroelectric memories (FeRAMs). Initially, endurance limitation (i.e. fatigue) was the main factor hampering the industrialization of FeRAMs. Systematic investigations of switching dynamics for various ferroelectric and electrode materials have resolved this issue, with endurance now reaching $10^{14}$ cycles. Here we investigate data retention and endurance in fully patterned submicron Co/BiFeO$_3$/Ca$_{0.96}$Ce$_{0.04}$MnO$_3$ FTJs. We report good reproducibility with high resistance contrasts and extend the maximum reported endurance of FTJs by three orders of magnitude ($4\times10^6$ cycles). Our results indicate that here fatigue is not limited by a decrease of the polarization or an increase of the leakage but rather by domain wall pinning. We propose directions to access extreme and intermediate resistance states more reliably and further strengthen the potential of FTJs for non-volatile memory applications.
title: Exit Strategy : and Ekphrasis Through The Lens Of The Abstract And The Formless
Creators: name: Wright, Patrick
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2027

description: This thesis consists of a creative component, comprising a collection of original poems, and a critical component, divided into chapters on ekphrasis and my poetics. The collection of poems engages with themes such as love, grief, religious faith, and rebirth. Formally, the collection makes use of various modes of ekphrasis to develop the lyric poem and the dramatic monologue. Additionally, it combines ekphrasis with the sonnet, the prose poem, the ghazal, and procedural verse. This has led to innovative hybrid forms (e.g., the ekphrastic prose poem). The poems make use of dependent clauses and techniques such as parataxis, collage, and juxtaposing disparate lexicons. The critical component presents expanded modes of ekphrasis that move away from the image or employ an ‘exit strategy’. A similar tactic is acknowledged in the work of three contemporary poets: Anne Carson, Emily Berry, and Deryn Rees-Jones. The question is how lyric themes can be disguised, warped, or treated differently through the prism of an artwork; how the image might serve as a lens for themes that are too difficult to write about directly. After an introduction that sets out my research questions, a literature review outlines recent examples of the practice of ekphrasis. The third chapter provides a reading of Carson, Berry, and Rees-Jones, and how my poems align with their methods. Chapter four examines how forms (such as the prose poem or ghazal) can ‘frame’ personal themes and offer, at the same time, a visual analogue of the artwork. Chapter five proposes the idea that images can be viewed without assuming that some parts are more central than others. This is to advance an ekphrastic mode that includes overlooked details in the artwork. Finally, Chapter six is on the role of misperception in ekphrasis, and how mis-seeing might be used as a creative tool.
