VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY DISORDERS ASSESSMENT AMONG HEALTHYPREGNANT WOMEN IN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
Creators: name: RASHID, Latifa
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: In United Arab Emirates, Gulf, and throughout the world, vitamin D insufficiency is a major public health issue that has been linked to a range of common chronic diseases including cancers, autoimmune diseases, insulin resistance, and infectious diseases

This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency, in a sample of healthy pregnant women living in the United Arab Emirates.

The objective of study it is investigate serum 25hydroxyvitaminD (25(OH)D) status women are selected according to a multi-stage proportionate-to-size stratified sampling design.

The samples collected from Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Um Al-Quain, Ras Al Kamiah and Fujairah

Out of the 1088 pregnant women, 1001 (92%) of the subjects had vitamin D deficiency(<49 nmol/L), 72 (7%) of the women had vitamin D insufficiency (50-74 nmol/L) and only 15 (1%) subjects had vitamin D status of adequate concentration (75> nmol/L).

Age, time spent outside walking and time of gestation had no relationship on serum 25(OH)D concentration. Using a FFQ found that butter is consumed rarely and bread was typically being consumed at least once a day (n=585). There was no effect on any of the seven food sources on a participants serum 25(OH)D.

Furthermore, the impact of fortified food and drinks with vitamin D do not seem to increase serum 25(OH)D and are not popular among this cohort. Those who did consume them, had little variation of25(OH)D serums. Intervention strategies such as supplementation, fortification and diet diversity must be implemented to prevent the problem from escalating.

title: The Spark that Lit the Match: The Use of Petitions and the Emergence of Antislavery Politicians in the Movement to Abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia, 1816-1829

description: The United States capital, Washington, D.C., became the focus of antislavery advocates in their quest to eliminate the domestic slave trade and slavery. By the War of 1812, the domestic slave trade was thriving in the capital. However, many saw it as particularly embarrassing to a nation predicated on the concept of freedom. This embarrassment was even felt by proslavery Southerners. Beginning in 1816, an attempt to restrict the trade in the Capital occurred when Virginia Congressman John Randolph called for the destruction of the domestic slave trade there. Despite being proslavery, he argued that the federal government, as the governing body of the District of Columbia, had the right to regulate slavery within it. This opened an opportunity for antislavery advocates to target the nation’s capital in their pursuit of eliminating the domestic slave trade and bring about an end to slavery. Between 1822 and 1829 antislavery advocates petitioned Congress numerous times to end the domestic slave trade and slavery in the capital. They also recruited antislavery allies within Congress to advocate their petitions. The nation’s newspapers covered these attempts and antislavery advocates found them essential in disseminating their message. These attacks on slavery in the capital forced proslavery Southerners in Congress to block efforts at ending the domestic slave trade and slavery in the capital out of fear that they could open the door to ending slavery in the South. Furthermore, they began to develop a positive good argument for slavery as a way to protect the institution from rising antislavery sentiment. These efforts did not succeed in ending either the domestic slave trade or slavery during the 1820s, but it helped to turn antislavery sentiment into a movement.

description: The global drive towards carbon neutrality has led to a significant increase in the number of power plants based on renewable energy sources (RES). Concurrently, numerous households are adopting RES to generate their own energy, aiming to decrease both electricity costs and carbon footprints. To support these users, many papers have been devoted to developing optimal investment strategies for residential energy systems. However, there is still a significant gap as these studies often neglect important aspects like carbon neutrality. For this reason, in this paper, we explore the concept of net-zero energy houses (ZEHs) -- houses designed to have an annual net energy consumption around zero -- by presenting a constrained optimization problem to find the optimal number of photovoltaic panels and the optimal size of the battery system for home integration. Solving this constrained optimization problem is difficult due to its nonconvex constraints. Nevertheless, by applying a series of transformations, we reveal that it is possible to find an equivalent linear programming (LP) problem which is computationally tractable. The attainment of ZEH can be tackled by introducing a single constraint in the optimization problem. Additionally, we propose a sharing economy approach to the investment problem, offering a strategy that could potentially reduce investment costs and facilitate the attainment of ZEH more efficiently. Finally, we apply the proposed frameworks to a neighborhood in Japan as a case study, demonstrating the potential for long-term ZEH attainment. The results show that, under the right incentive, users can achieve ZEH, reduce their electricity costs and have a minimal impact on the main grid.

Constraining the attractive fifth force in the general free scalar-tensor gravity with solar system experiments

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: In this paper, we focus on the general free scalar-tensor gravity with three free coupling functions, which in the near-field region looks like general relativity (GR) plus a fifth force of Yukawa-type induced by the scalar field. We show that the fifth force is always attractive in the theory. We investigate the effects of the attractive fifth force and calculate in detail the fifth force-induced orbital precession rate $δω/ω$ and the parameterized post-Newtonian parameters $γ$ and $β$, all of which depend on the fifth force parameters and the interaction distance. It turns out that, due to the attractive fifth force, $δω/ω$ is always greater than zero, $γ$ is always less than one, $β$ is greater than one at large distances, and additionally this class of theories is ruled out as an alternative theory to dark matter. We place stringent constraints on the fifth force parameters by combining the lunar laser ranging (LLR), Cassini, and Mercury precession experiments, and derive the upper bounds on the strength ratio of the fifth force to gravitational force at different scales from the LLR observation. We find that the Mercury constraint is not competitive with the LLR and Cassini constraints and the LLR observation imposes much more stringent bounds on the strength ratio on large scales than on small scales. Our results show that this theory is sufficiently close to GR for a small enough fifth force strength and can reduce to GR with a minimally coupled scalar field in the absence of fifth force.

description: From the Faculty Nominator: Alissa Murray wrote this paper for SP 254 (Survey of Peninsular Literatures and Cultures: An Exploration of Spain's Literary Journey), a class where students study the evolution of Spanish literature starting in the 12th Century when Spain was still under Arab occupation to the 20th century. Alissa´s paper is a critical analysis of "El caballero de Olmedo" a 17th century tragedy written by Lope de Vega, one of the most important authors in the Spanish Golden Century literature. Alissa brilliantly analyzes the art of courtly love as a metaphor for sexual castration. Courtly love is characterized as being generally secret and extremely difficult to obtain or consummate, which in turn serves as a means to inspire men to perform great deeds. However, Alissa argues that instead of inspiring the two male characters to achieve noble deeds, courtly love drives them to lose their masculinity and hence, leads them to their premature deaths.
description: I like to joke that I can't take a literary analysis class without writing a sexual analysis at some point or another. Evidently, my Survey of Spanish Literature class was no exception. Early on in the semester, we were assigned the daunting task of reading El caballero de Olmedo, a short play written by Spanish playwright Lope de Vega in 1620. The play, a tragicomedy which highlights the perils of courtly love, tells the story of a love triangle between doña Ines, the coveted dame, and don Alonso and don Rodrigo, the two noblemen pursuing her. My paper, "Los toros, las balas, y la castración-el dilema de la masculinidad en El caballero de Olmedo" explores the downfalls of both men through their metaphorical castrations, in which they are stripped of their masculinities by the use of sexual imagery in the play. This effemination leads to their deaths, telling the tale of a love triangle in which at the end, nobody gets the girl.

description: From the Faculty Nominator: I've always thought that the experience of reading really good literary criticism has a lot in common with the experience of reading really good literature. In each case, the author draws you in right from the beginning. Maybe the title piques your curiosity; maybe it's the first line or something in the first paragraph. Before long, anyway, you settle happily into the familiar feeling of being off on a journey, ready for discovery. No sooner have you begun to think about an objection than your author anticipates your reaction and addresses it. Each new stage of the piece, including its ending, strikes you as being, paradoxically, both surprising and just right. Things come together in a way you couldn't have predicted yet that nevertheless makes perfect sense. When you finish, you want to begin again in order to appreciate the piece even more; you also want to recommend it to everyone you know. That's how I feel about Weston Kulvete's "Catacombs and Courtship" as well as about Northanger Abbey, the Jane Austen novel that Weston writes about. Both the essay and the novel start off strong with memorable titles and great introductions. (For those of you unacquainted with Austen's novel, it begins, "No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be an heroine.") Both feature distinctive authorial voices full of humor, which is notoriously tricky to manage in academic writing. Both leave you full of admiration for the authors' inventiveness, as well as the care they took on every level. Weston wrote his essay for ENG 200: Close Reading, Analytical Writing, a course that-unusually for English literature classes-stresses the value of students' learning from each other's critical writing. Thanks to Verge, you too now have that opportunity.

title: Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Mental Health Diagnosis of Maltreated Youth
Creators: name: Burke, Shadie
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: Racial/ethnic marginalized youth are more likely to receive a misdiagnosis of a mental health disorder than their White peers. Misdiagnosis contributes to existing disparities for racial/ethnic marginalized groups by leading to longer durations of untreated and worsening mental health symptoms. For maltreated youth, receiving a misdiagnosis can lead to a failure to connect with appropriate mental health services, medication regimens, therapeutic foster homes, and academic and developmental resources. To date, very few empirical studies have identified disparities in mental health diagnosis among racial/ethnic marginalized maltreated youth. The present study examined two key research questions: (1) what racial/ethnic disparities in diagnoses might exist among maltreated youth?; and (2) do PTSD symptom cluster subscales relate to any identified disparities in diagnoses among racially/ethnically diverse maltreated youth? A chi-square test identified racial/ethnic disparities among marginalized youth for diagnoses of Internalizing Disorders (including Bipolar Disorder; χ2 (1, N = 68) = 6.964, p =.008 and Psychotic Disorders χ2 (1, N = 145) = 4.078, p =.043). An exploratory chi-square test identified disparities between Multiracial youth and Hispanic youth for Externalizing Disorders χ2 (1, N = 29) = 6.212, p =.013 and ADHD χ2 (1, N = 28) = 7.337, p =.007. Symptoms of PTSD only explained disparities in Generalized Anxiety Disorder among White non-Hispanic Youth and non-White Hispanic/Latino youth F (1, 71) = 6.680, p =.012. The findings offer important implications for understanding the relationship between maltreatment, racial/ethnic disparities, and PTSD to better inform identification and treatment of maltreated youth.

description: Hadron wavepackets are prepared and time evolved in the Schwinger model using 112 qubits of IBM's 133-qubit Heron quantum computer ibm_torino. The initialization of the hadron wavepacket is performed in two steps. First, the vacuum is prepared across the whole lattice using the recently developed SC-ADAPT-VQE algorithm and workflow. SC-ADAPT-VQE is then extended to the preparation of localized states, and used to establish a hadron wavepacket on top of the vacuum. This is done by adaptively constructing low-depth circuits that maximize the overlap with an adiabatically prepared hadron wavepacket. Due to the localized nature of the wavepacket, these circuits can be determined on a sequence of small lattices using classical computers, and then robustly scaled to prepare wavepackets on large lattices for simulations using quantum computers. Time evolution is implemented with a second-order Trotterization. To reduce both the required qubit connectivity and circuit depth, an approximate quasi-local interaction is introduced. This approximation is made possible by the emergence of confinement at long distances, and converges exponentially with increasing distance of the interactions. Using multiple error-mitigation strategies, up to 14 Trotter steps of time evolution are performed, employing 13,858 two-qubit gates (with a CNOT depth of 370). The propagation of hadrons is clearly identified, with results that compare favorably with Matrix Product State simulations. Prospects for a near-term quantum advantage in simulations of hadron scattering are discussed.

description: This is a study of the international impact of acid emission reductions on vulnerable freshwater biodiversity of benthic macroinvertebrates. In order to properly attribute impacts it is necessary to also incorporate the potential effects of changes in temperature and precipitation. Most sites show an increasing number of species towards the present. This can be attributed to a decrease in acidification, while temperature has a secondary influence on diversity. We expect that the biodiversity will continue to increase in the future as acid deposition decreases. The widespread response of aquatic diversity resulting from emission reductions of acidifying components to the atmosphere demonstrates the potential of international policy for achieving positive effects on the state of the environment.

description: We report continuous loading of $^{\textrm{87}}$Rb atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) at narrow linewidth, 420 nm 5S$_{1/2}$, F$=2\rightarrow$ 6P$_{3/2}$, F$=3$ blue transition (blue MOT). Continuous loading of the blue MOT is achieved by superimposing the blue laser beam, inside a hollow core of infrared laser beam driving the broad 5S$_{1/2}$, F$=2\rightarrow$ 5P$_{3/2}$, F$=3$ transition at 780 nm. We typically load $\sim10^{8}$ atoms in the blue MOT in 2.5 seconds. We characterize the continuous loading of blue MOT with various parameters such as magnetic field gradient, detuning, power and diameter of blue MOT beam and diameter of the hollow core (spot) inside the IR MOT beam. We observe that the blue laser beam should overfill the spot of the IR laser beam. This is because the blue laser cools the atoms to a lower temperature even in the presence of the broad IR laser i.e. in the overlapped region and hence helps in loading. We also present the theoretical framework for cooling atoms in the presence of simultaneously two transitions to support the experimental result. This method of continuous loading of the blue MOT can be useful to produce a continuous atomic beam of cold Rb atoms.

description: From the Faculty Nominator: Emily Huebner wrote this paper for my Public History seminar in the fall of 2012. One of the topics we explore in Public History is the creation of popular memory. Emily found a marvelous source in Special Collections and Archives which provided great insight into this process. She studied a group of six Civil War scrapbooks assembled by the Miller family of Baltimore, and, with the aid of secondary sources, developed a compelling interpretive thesis. Emily's analysis of the scrapbooks is sophisticated and incisive. Her careful reading of the many articles clipped in the scrapbooks leads her to grasp "the complexity of loyalty" which characterized the views of the Miller family. The variety of articles and sometimes conflicting views expressed in those articles can be difficult to understand, but Emily is able to use these articles to construct a convincing portrait of ambivalent Southerners in wartime Baltimore, loyal to the Union but still devoted to the South. Through her sensitive and well-informed reading of the Civil War scrapbooks, Emily has demonstrated the richness of this extraordinary historical source. She illuminates the value of the scrapbooks as artifacts which helped the Miller family "preserve and remember a formative era in American history." At the same time, she is able to mine the scrapbooks for valuable insights into the experience of the people of Baltimore during the difficult and highly divisive era of the Civil War. "Loyalty and Memory" is an important scholarly contribution to our understanding of the complex social history of Civil War Baltimore.
description: The process of writing this paper taught me how research is driven by curiosity. I was introduced to this series of Civil War scrapbooks a year before I wrote this paper for a public history seminar, and my first inquiries into the context and content of the scrapbooks led me to more questions about the circumstances and beliefs of the family that created them, as well as the tradition of scrapbooking itself. I realized that the newspaper clippings in the scrapbook were not going to give me the answers that I wanted; I would need to learn more about Baltimore during the Civil War and follow the clues the primary sources gave me to find out more. The only answers I would get were the ones that I found for myself. My public history class gave me the perfect chance to dig deeper into the context and content of these scrapbooks in order to understand their larger historical significance. This project gave me the opportunity to use my research skills to solve an intriguing mystery.

The cell is designed to be filled with atomic vapour and used as a component in photonic quantum technologies, with applications in quantum memory and optical switching. We achieve a total insertion loss of 0.6(2) dB at 780 nm wavelength via graded index fibre to ensure efficient mode matching coupled with anti-reflection coatings to minimise loss at the SMF-HCF interfaces. We also present numerical modelling of these interfaces, which can be undertaken efficiently without the need for finite element simulation. We encapsulate the HCF core by coupling to the SMF inside a support capillary, enhancing durability and facilitating seamless integration into existing fibre platforms.

description: The Tropical Marine Biology in Honduras ICA literally immerses students in the ecology and behavior of coral reef species. To facilitate this, students choose a fish species or specific interaction, such as a cleaning symbiosis, to research and make observations on while snorkeling or SCUBA diving during a two-week period. This project culminates in a lab report, detailing students’ findings, and how their results compare to those of other studies. To do this assignment well requires hours of careful observations in the field, while being mindful of a whole host of other things, such as maintaining proper depth, keeping up with the group, monitoring the amount of air remaining in one’s SCUBA tank, etc. I’ve taught this course five times and this paper by Erin Collins and Kat Quintanilla is certainly the best I’ve read. Not only is it well-written, but it is carefully researched, and the amount of data presented is impressive for a short-term project. It was my pleasure to nominate this paper for publication in Verge and am so pleased it is included in this issue
description: The cleaner-client symbiosis between fish and invertebrate species is an intriguing behavioral relationship that has evolved because of the benefits to both parties. Some observations of cleaning stations within tropical reefs have noted that cleaner species are less likely to take advantage of their clients by picking off live tissue when there are other fish around to witness it. Not only this, but fish that observed this behavior dispersed following the event. Because of how fascinating these interactions are, we wanted to test the validity of these observations while in our ICA in Roatán, Honduras. We collected quantitative and qualitative data of the frequency at which “flinching” behavior was observed, suggesting devious behavior by the cleaner, both in and out of the presence with other fish. We also pursued characterizing the orientations at which each species posed in order to request service as well as quantifying what species interacted most frequently. Although we couldn’t make many confident conclusions, our results inspired further potential research into both the health and abundance of the fish species in Roatán. Special thanks to Cynthia Kicklighter and Theresa Hodge for all their guidance in our pursuit.

description: We consider Maxwell eigenvalue problems on uncertain shapes with perfectly conducting TESLA cavities being the driving example. Due to the shape uncertainty the resulting eigenvalues and eigenmodes are also uncertain and it is well known that the eigenvalues may exhibit crossings or bifurcations under perturbation. We discuss how the shape uncertainties can be modelled using the domain mapping approach and how the deformation mapping can be expressed as coefficients in Maxwell's equations. Using derivatives of these coefficients and derivatives of the eigenpairs, we follow a perturbation approach to compute approximations of mean and covariance of the eigenpairs. For small perturbations these approximations are faster and more accurate than sampling or surrogate model strategies. For the implementation we use an approach based on isogeometric analysis, which allows for straightforward modelling of the domain deformations and computation of the required derivatives. Numerical experiments for a three-dimensional 9-cell TESLA cavity are presented.

How could I explain a semester's worth of modern physics to a general audience, all within the span of a 10-page paper? I tried my best to distill complicated concepts into precise ideas and sentences, and hope that my finished work conveys the excitement I feel about antimatter's discovery - and physics in general - to readers.

description: Defects dictate the properties of many functional materials. To understand the behaviour of defects and their impact on physical properties, it is necessary to identify the most stable defect geometries. However, global structure searching is computationally challenging for high-throughput defect studies or materials with complex defect landscapes, like alloys or disordered solids. Here, we tackle this limitation by harnessing a machine-learning surrogate model to qualitatively explore the defect structural landscape. By learning defect motifs in a family of related metal chalcogenide and mixed anion crystals, the model successfully predicts favourable reconstructions for unseen defects in unseen compositions for 90% of cases, thereby reducing the number of first-principles calculations by 73%. Using CdSe$_x$Te$_{1-x}$ alloys as an exemplar, we train a model on the end member compositions and apply it to find the stable geometries of all inequivalent vacancies for a range of mixing concentrations, thus enabling more accurate and faster defect studies for configurational complex systems.

L'agent devient l'acteur : un regard sur les méthodes du Théâtre de l'Opprimé et la notion de l'habitus chez Pierre Bourdieu

description: From the Faculty Nominator: Maureen Winter wrote this thesis (directed by Constance Moreteau of the Université Paris Ouest - Nanterre) as part of her semester-long internship in Paris at the Theatre of the Oppressed. "Theatre cannot change the world" says one of Maureen's interview subjects, and her thesis is in many ways her own spirited response. The goal of these internship theses is to integrate the analysis of ideas with insights drawn directly from fieldwork. Addressing the points of intersection between Pierre Bourdieu and Augusto Boal, Maureen explores each author's engagement with Aristotelian thought and focuses on embodiment and agency as key themes that link their work. Maureen offers a novel perspective by showing how the insights of each author are complementary. With Bourdieu, she is able to link Boal's attention to the mechanics of performance with a sociological analysis of power and inequality. At the same time, the creativity of Boal's theatre highlights the agency of actors that is often neglected by interpretors of Bourdieu focusing only on social reproduction. In exploring the transformative potential of Boal's theatrical method, she devotes special attention to forum theatre, where actors perform a scene describing some kind of social conflict and ask audience members to step in and play it differently to find a solution. I am particularly fond of her conclusion - and will leave it to the reader to discover! In it, she weaves together the insights from her research and internship in ways that are both skillful and convincing. A pleasure to read!
description: While spending a semester abroad in Paris during the Spring of 2012 I worked as an intern at the Théâtre de l'Opprimé, a small theater that uses participatory theater practices to promote social change. A requirement of my program, Internships in Francophone Europe, was that each student produce a 30-page research paper on a topic relating to their internship work. I chose to incorporate the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu's concept of habitus into my work, navigating the intersection of sociology and contemporary theater practices in France. In an attempt to prove that the Théatre de l'Opprimé's practices enable participants to make visible their own habitus, I describe several theatrical techniques incorporated into the TDO's method. Through both intensive research of existing scholarship and participant observation I am able to begin to address the question of habitus as it relates to participatory theater in contemporary France.

description: From A. Rebecca Free: I responded strongly to Caitlin’s piece on Emmy Hennings, not only because there is genuinely a need for more scholarship on the subject matter, but also because Caitlin’s approach revealed a scholar with enough control of her material to engage me as a reader in a kind of conversation about it. Theatre is a notoriously ephemeral and multidimensional art form, and the best theatre scholarship respects those qualities and the academic challenges they pose, without being overwhelmed by them. From its inception, Caitlin’s work on her Hennings project showed a solid appreciation of the dynamic intangibles and complicated layers that shape a theatre event, even as the scholar’s focus remained squarely on a literary text. The resulting study inventively drew connections between cabaret, avant-garde theatre aesthetics, Hennings’ poetry, and the idea of the outsider, viewing gender as a matrix within which all these elements of the artist’s work intersected.
description: When I first began research for my final project in an avant-garde theatre seminar, I thought I’d take advantage of the open ended-ness of the assignment and simply ape the Dada style by presenting a piece of bizarre, amusing performance art. But as I read more about the central movers behind the crazy sound poems and robotic costumes of these early 20th century artists, I was drawn again and again to the relationship between artistic power and rebellion, and how the categories of insider/outsider related to and defined that tension. An analytical paper focusing on Dada gender dynamics as manifested in the work of Emmy Hennings blossomed pretty organically after that, resulting in more interesting work, I hope, than my flailing about speaking German would have been

The Orpheus Myth through Nineteenth Century Art

description: From the Faculty Nominator: Emilia Slimon wrote "The Orpheus Myth through Nineteenth Century Art" as the culmination of a semester-long project for ART 280, Neoclassicism-Impression in Fall 2012. Students in the class were asked to visit the 18th and 19th-century collection at the Walters Art Museum to generate the eventual direction and focus of their research by looking at individual works of art by themselves and in relation to other works. Once this focus was determined, the student then looked beyond the Walters collection to find other related works and to conduct wide-ranging and thorough research. Through this process, Emilia recognized the popularity of the Orpheus myth in the nineteenth century and chose to investigate its depictions in the visual arts as well as to place those interpretations in a broader cultural context. Emilia's resulting paper is a model of meticulous research and synthetic thinking, written in clear and engaging prose.
description: During a visit to the Walter's Art Gallery for inspiration for my Art 280 term paper, I snapped a photo of a painting by Charles Jalabert depicting a group of beautiful women draped in gauzy fabrics lounging gracefully in a somewhat severe landscape. I was in a hurry and took the photo without much thought. I barely glanced at the label and doubted that the work would develop into my fifteen-page term paper due at the end of the semester. I wanted to focus on Neoclassicism and how nineteenth-century artists used Classical myths as inspiration for their art, and since Jalabert's piece illustrated the Ovidian myth of Orpheus I decided to start my research there. Orpheus's tragic quest for his lost love Eurydice captivated me immediately. As my research continued, I was surprised to notice that the myth was a major inspiration for not only Neoclassical painters, but for artists throughout the 1800s from very different artistic styles. What about this myth attracted so many artists of varying movements and ideologies? This paper explores how the Orpheus myth links five artists (Corot, Crawford, Jalabert, Moreau, and Rodin) from five different artistic movements (Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Impressionism, Naturalism, and Symbolism). By chronicling the Ovidian story with these artists' illustrations of key scenes, I hope to reveal the malleability of the myth and explore how its themes stay relevant and stimulating through seven decades in the rapidly changing art world.
