description: The aim of the paper was an evaluation of the economic efficiency of dairy production in relation to the total labour input per 1 cow. The research was done in 158 dairy farms. The farms with the lowest labour expenditure on 1 dairy cow had the biggest arable land surface, the highest annual average number of cows in the herd and the highest milk yield as well as the highest prices received for sold milk. The higher was labour expenditure the higher were direct costs, labour expenditure on 1 litre of milk and the lower total value of production, direct surplus and income excluding subsidies. / Synopsis. Celem badań była ocena sprawności ekonomicznej produkcji mleka w wybranych gospodarstwach w zależności od nakładów pracy ogółem na 1 krowę. Badaniami objęto 158 gospodarstw, utrzymujących krowy mleczne. Gospodarstwa o najmniejszych nakładach pracy na 1 krowę charakteryzowały się największymi: powierzchnią użytków rolnych, średniorocznym stanem krów i ich wydajnością mleczną oraz najwyższą ceną sprzedaży mleka. Im wyższe nakłady pracy, tym wyższe koszty bezpośrednie i nakłady pracy w przeliczeniu na 1 litr mleka a niższe wartość produkcji ogółem, nadwyżka bezpośrednia i dochód bez dopłat.

description: We report observations made with the IRAM 30m radiotelescope in the HCN(1-0) and HCO+(1-0) lines towards a sample of molecular complexes (GMCs) in the disk of the Andromeda galaxy (M31). The targets were identified bright CO GMCs selected from the IRAM 30m CO survey with various morphologies and environments. The clouds vary in galactocentric distances from 2.4 to 15.5kpc. The HCN and HCO+ emission is easily detected in almost all observed positions, with line widths generally similar to the CO ones and there is a good correlation between the two dense gas tracers. The HCO+ emission is slightly stronger than the HCN, in particular towards GMCs with a strong star formation activity. However the HCO+ emission is weaker than the HCN towards a quiescent cloud in the inner part of M31, which could be due to a lower abundance of HCO+. We derive I_HCN/I_CO ratios between 0.008 and 0.03 and I_HCO+/I_CO ratios between less than 0.003 and 0.04. We study the radial distribution of the dense gas in the disk of M31. Unlike our Galaxy the HCO+/CO ratio is lower in the center of M31 than in the arms, which can be explained by both a lower abundance of HCO+ and different conditions of excitation. Furthermore the HCN/CO and HCO+/CO ratios appear to be higher in the inner spiral arm and weaker in the outer arm.

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We derive an expression for the minimal rate of entropy that sustains two reservoirs at different temperatures $T_0$ and $T_\ell$. The law displays an intuitive $\ell^{-1}$ dependency on the relative distance and a characterisic $\log^2 (T_\ell/T_0)$ dependency on the boundary temperatures. First we give a back-of-envelope argument based on the Fourier Law (FL) of conduction, showing that the least-dissipation profile is exponential. Then we revisit a model of a chain of oscillators, each coupled to a heat reservoir. In the limit of large damping we reobtain the exponential and squared-log behaviors, providing a self-consistent derivation of the FL. For small damping "equipartition frustration" leads to a well-known balistic behaviour, whose incompatibility with the FL posed a long-time challenge.

description: We study Andreev reflection (AR) tunneling through a quantum dot (QD) connected to a ferromagnet and a superconductor, in which the intradot spin-flip interaction is included. By using the nonequibrium-Green-function method, the formula of the linear AR conductance is derived at zero temperature. It is found that competition between the intradot spin-flip scattering and the tunneling coupling to the leads dominantes resonant behaviours of the AR conductance versus the gate voltage.A weak spin-flip scattering leads to a single peak resonance.However, with the spin-flip scattering strength increasing, the AR conductance will develop into a double peak resonannce implying a novel structure in the tunneling spectrum of the AR conductance. Besides, the effect of the spin-dependent tunneling couplings, the matching of Fermi velocity, and the spin polarization of the ferromagnet on the AR conductance is eximined in detail.

description: Calculations of heat transfer between two plates of gold in an extreme near field is performed taking into account the existence of the electric double layer on metal surfaces. For d < 3nm the double layer contribution exceeds the predictions of the conversional theory of the heat transfer by several orders of magnitudes. This effect is due to a coupling between the radiation electric field and the double layer dipole moment. The results obtained can be used for the heat management at the nanoscale by intentionally changing the parameters of surface dipoles with the help of engineering.

description: A globalizáció az emberi alkotóerő, a tudományos-, technikai-, technológiai fejlődés terméke, az emberiség széttagoltságának, egyenlőtlen gazdasági és társadalmi fejlettségének következménye. A fejlődésben élenjáró országok gazdasági óriásai saját tőkeerejük és szervezettségük révén, állami és nemzetközi támogatással, az új világ civilizátoraiként, saját demokratikus berendezkedésük propagátoraiként képesek maguk alá rendelni a fejlődők természeti erőforrásait és munkaerejét. Ezzel - eddig soha nem látott módon - bővíthetik a fogyasztási javak mennyiségét és profitjukat, amelyek igazságtalan elosztásával elégedetlenséget, újabb és újabb feszültséget gerjesztenek. Utóbbiak feloldásától függ a globalizáció jövője, s talán az emberiség sorsa is, ami katasztrófa, vagy általános gazdasági jólét is lehet. ------------------ Globalisation is a product of developing human creativity, science, techniques and technologies, as well as consequence of the diversification and uneven development in economy and social structure around the world. The most developed countries of the world being giants are able according to their own capital power and organisation to dominate the economy of the less developed, i.e. developing countries. By means of international consent, the leading countries extend their own democratic system over the rest of the world and as pioneers of the users of natural as well as of human resources of the whole world are attempting to stabilise the world’s economy. By that way, the amount o f commodities and the profit raised by their production may increase at unprecedented measures, whereas the uneven distribution o f indispensable facilities has been the source of social tension since long. The immediate future of the globalised world as well as the fate of the whole mankind depends just on the success how those social conflicts could be solved, which means either a catastroph or a general well being, due to the benefits of progress, will ensue.

description: We have systematically investigated mechanistic details of the CO methanation reaction over a supported Ru catalyst in an idealized H2-rich reformate gas mixture with low CO:H2 ratio, employing isotope labelling techniques. From a comprehensive set of transient FTIR spectroscopy measurements, following the buildup / disappearance of different adsorbed species upon exchange of isotope marked reactants during reaction or during desorption, we derive that under these conditions the reaction is dominated by an associative reaction pathway, involving first the formation of adsorbed formyl intermediates, followed by hydrogenation of these intermediates and C-O bond breaking. Formate formation can be excluded. Measurements of kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) revealed a weak secondary inverse KIE with values of rCH4/rCD4 between 0.6 (175 °C) and 1.0 (230 °C), indicating that at lower temperatures C-H bond formation, most likely HCOad hydrogenation, is rate-determining, while at higher temperatures the reaction is increasingly controlled by C–O bond breaking.
Investigating the role of the Wnt pathway in non-small cell lung cancer
Creators: name: Lee, Eric Hung Leung
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Wnt signaling pathway has recently been recognized as a critical pathway in lung carcinogenesis. Some of the cancers that the Wnt pathway is involved in include colorectal, and breast cancers. However, the roles of Wnt pathway components are contradictory as well. These ambiguities are a result of multiple branch paths that it is associated with. In particular, the Wnt pathway is branched off into the canonical and non-canonical subpaths, of which, each subpath crosstalks with other pathways. Many studies have been done in an effort to decipher the behaviour of Wnt components in lung cancer through gene silencing techniques and knock-out models of a particular gene however a coordinated expression of Wnt components in the context of defining the involvement of the canonical and non-canonical pathways have not been explored. We investigated the role of the Wnt pathway in lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) by first establishing normal expression patterns of Wnt components in normal lung and deducing the aberrant expression of key components of the canonical and non-canonical pathway in tumor. In this study, 19 Wnt pathway genes representative of both canonical and non-canonical pathway were chosen for expression analysis via relative RT-PCR. The data suggested that both the canonical and non-canonical pathways are active in the normal lungs. In lung tumor, the expression of β-catenin/canconical pathway is surprisingly down-regulated in 50% of the samples while the non-canonical pathway components are up-regulated. These findings provide evidence that not all lung tumors are affected by the canonical Wnt pathway and that the non-canonical pathway may serve to be just as important in driving the proliferation of lung cancer cells.

Nonlinear Particle Acceleration at Reverse Shocks in Supernova Remnants

description: Without amplification, magnetic fields in expanding ejecta of young supernova remnants (SNRs) will be orders of magnitude below those required to shock accelerate thermal electrons, or ions, to relativistic energies or to produce radio synchrotron emission at the reverse shock. The reported observations of such emission give support to the idea that diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) can amplify magnetic fields by large factors. Furthermore, the uncertain character of the amplification process leaves open the possibility that ejecta fields, while large enough to support radio emission and DSA, may be much lower than typical interstellar medium values. We show that DSA in such low reverse shock fields is extremely nonlinear and efficient in the production of cosmic-ray (CR) ions, although CRs greatly in excess of mc^2 are not produced. These nonlinear effects, which occur at the forward shock as well, are manifested most importantly in shock compression ratios much greater than four and cause the interaction region between the forward and reverse shocks to become narrower, denser, and cooler than would be the case if efficient cosmic-ray production did not occur. The changes in the SNR structure and evolution should be clearly observable, if present, and they convey important information on the nature of DSA and magnetic field amplification with broad astrophysical implications.

description: Following the highly restrictive measures adopted by many countries for combating the current pandemic, the number of individuals infected by SARS-CoV-2 and the associated number of deaths is steadily decreasing. This fact, together with the impossibility of maintaining the lockdown indefinitely, raises the crucial question of whether it is possible to design an exit strategy based on quantitative analysis. Guided by rigorous mathematical results, we show that this is indeed possible: we present a robust numerical algorithm which can compute the cumulative number of deaths that will occur as a result of increasing the number of contacts by a given multiple, using as input only the most reliable of all data available during the lockdown, namely the cumulative number of deaths.

description: Solutions in the form of series expansion, as the Born approximation, are very useful for describing time-independent scattering of quantum particles. In this work, it is mathematically demonstred that such solutions, when applied to multiple beam scattering phenomena, can lead to energy violation where the number of incident and scattered particles is not preserved. General basic conditions for developing consistent solutions of time-dependent multiple beam scattering problems are outlined.

description: We present results of new Monte Carlo calculations made with the DIRTY code of radiative transfer of stellar and scattered radiation for a dusty giant late-type galaxy like the Milky Way, which illustrate the effect of the attenuation of stellar light by internal dust on the integrated photometry of the individual bulge and disk components. Here we focus on the behavior of the attenuation function, the color excess, and the fraction of light scattered or directly transmitted towards the outside observer as a function of the total amount of dust and the inclination of the galaxy, and the structure of the dusty interstellar medium (ISM) of the disk. We confirm that dust attenuation produces qualitatively and quantitatively different effects on the integrated photometry of bulge and disk, whatever the wavelength. In addition, we find that the structure of the dusty ISM affects more sensitively the observed magnitudes than the observed colors of both bulge and disk. Finally, we show that the contribution of the scattered radiation to the total monochromatic light received by the outside observer is significant, particularly at UV wavelengths, even for a two-phase, clumpy, dusty ISM. Thus understanding dust scattering properties is fundamental for the interpretation of extragalactic observations in the rest-frame UV.

description: We study an efficient way to enhance the measurability of the galaxy density and/or velocity power spectrum in redshift space. It is based on the angular decomposition with the Tripolar spherical harmonic (TripoSH) basis and applicable even to galaxy distributions in wide-angle galaxy surveys. While nontrivial multipole-mode mixings are inevitable in the covariance of the Legendre decomposition coefficient commonly used in the small-angle power spectrum analysis, our analytic computation of the covariance of the TripoSH decomposition coefficient shows that such mixings are absent by virtue of high separability of the TripoSH basis, yielding the minimum variance. Via the simple signal-to-noise ratio assessment, we confirm that the detectability improvement by the TripoSH decomposition approach becomes more significant at higher multipole modes, and, e.g., the hexadecapole of the density power spectrum has two orders of magnitude improvement. The TripoSH decomposition approach is expected to be applied to not only currently available survey data but also forthcoming wide-angle one, and to bring about something new or much more accurate cosmological information.

title: A Hybrid Similarity Measure Framework for Multimodal Medical Image Registration
Creators: name: Reel, Parminder Singh
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: Medical imaging is widely used today to facilitate both disease diagnosis and treatment planning practice, with a key prerequisite being the systematic process of medical image registration (MIR) to align either mono or multimodal images of different anatomical parts of the human body. MIR utilises a similarity measure (SM) to quantify the level of spatial alignment and is particularly demanding due to the presence of inherent modality characteristics like intensity non-uniformities (INU) in magnetic resonance images and large homogeneous non-vascular regions in retinal images. While various intensity and feature-based SMs exist for MIR, mutual information (MI) has become established because of its computational efficiency and ability to register multimodal images. It is however, very sensitive to interpolation artefacts in the presence of INU with noise and can be compromised when overlapping areas are small. Recently MI-based hybrid variants which combine regional features with intensity have emerged, though these incur high dimensionality and large computational overheads. To address these challenges and secure accurate, efficient and robust registration of images containing high INU, noise and large homogeneous regions, this thesis presents a new hybrid SM framework for 2D multimodal rigid MIR. The framework consistently provides superior quantitative and qualitative performance, while offering a uniquely flexible design trade-off between registration accuracy and computational time. It makes three significant technical contributions to the field: i) An expectation maximisation-based principal component analysis with mutual information (EMPCA-MI) framework incorporating neighbourhood feature information; ii) Two innovative enhancements to reduce information redundancy and improve MI computational efficiency; and iii) an adaptive algorithm to select the most significant principal components for feature selection. The thesis findings conclusively confirm the hybrid SM framework offers an accurate and robust 2D registration solution for challenging multimodal medical imaging datasets, while its inherent flexibility means it can also be extended to the 3D registration domain.

description: We linearize extended ADM-gravity around the flat torus, and use the associated Fock vacuum to construct a state that could play the role of a free vacuum in loop quantum gravity. The state we obtain is an element of the gauge-invariant kinematic Hilbert space and restricted to a cutoff graph, as a natural consequence of the momentum cutoff of the original Fock state. It has the form of a Gaussian superposition of spin networks. We show that the peak of the Gaussian lies at weave-like states and derive a relation between the coloring of the weaves and the cutoff scale. Our analysis indicates that the peak weaves become independent of the cutoff length when the latter is much smaller than the Planck length. By the same method, we also construct multiple-graviton states. We discuss the possible use of these states for deriving a perturbation series in loop quantum gravity.

description: Geometric confinements are frequently encountered in the biological world and strongly affect the stability, topology, and transport properties of active suspensions in viscous flow. Based on a far-field analytical model, the low-Reynolds-number locomotion of a self-propelled microswimmer moving inside a clean viscous drop or a drop covered with a homogeneously distributed surfactant, is theoretically examined. The interfacial viscous stresses induced by the surfactant are described by the well-established Boussinesq-Scriven constitutive rheological model. Moreover, the active agent is represented by a force dipole and the resulting fluid-mediated hydrodynamic couplings between the swimmer and the confining drop are investigated. We find that the presence of the surfactant significantly alters the dynamics of the encapsulated swimmer by enhancing its reorientation. Exact solutions for the velocity images for the Stokeslet and dipolar flow singularities inside the drop are introduced and expressed in terms of infinite series of harmonic components. Our results offer useful insights into guiding principles for the control of confined active matter systems and support the objective of utilizing synthetic microswimmers to drive drops for targeted drug delivery applications.

description: We present evidence that nonlinear resonances govern the tunneling process between symmetry-related islands of regular motion in mixed regular-chaotic systems.In a similar way as for near-integrable tunneling, such resonances induce couplings between regular states within the islands and states that are supported by the chaotic sea. On the basis of this mechanism, we derive a semiclassical expression for the average tunneling rate, which yields good agreement in comparison with the exact quantum tunneling rates calculated for the kicked rotor and the kicked Harper.

description: A sertésciklus problémája már régóta foglalkoztatja a közgazdászokat. Tanulmányunkban arra kerestük a választ, hogy az elmúlt évtizedben az EU jelentős sertéshústermelő tagállamaiban felfedezhető-e még a sertésciklus jelenléte, valamint ha ezek kimutathatóak, akkor milyen időtartamúak. A vizsgálatok során bizonyítást nyert, hogy az állomány, a kibocsátás és az árak alakulását különböző időtartamú ciklikus jelenségek jellemzik. Az állomány alakulására kismértékű ingadozásokat, a termelésben és az árakban viszont nagy kilengéseket lehet megállapítani. --------------- The cyclic variation on the markets of pore meat is an economic problem being treated by scientists since long. We attempted to answer the question why the cyclic variation was still recognised during the last ten years within the main pore producing states of the EU, moreover, how long is the time expected of the existing cycles. As a result it could be proved that the hog population, the appearance of the offer and the change of prices are subject to cyclic variations of different duration, each. The amplitude of changes in population are small, whereas the waves in production and prices are larger in amplitude.
title: Interactive Demand Shifting in the context of Domestic Micro-Generation

description: The combination of ubiquitous computing and emerging energy technologies is radically changing the home energy landscape. Domestic micro-generation, dominated by solar photovoltaic, is increasing at a rapid pace. This represents an opportunity for creating and altering energy behaviours. However, these transformations generate new challenges that we call the domestic energy gap: domestic electricity consumption and microgeneration are out of sync. Micro-generation is mainly uncontrollable production relying on weather while domestic energy consumption tends to happen mostly during the evening. This thesis focuses on understanding and supporting new domestic practices in the context of domestic solar electricity generation, looking at ‘Demand-Shifting’. Specifically, we look at how can digital tools leverage Demand-Shifting practices in the context of domestic micro-generation? Relying on a mixed-method approach, we provide a qualitative and quantitative answer with the collaboration of 38 participating households in several field studies including two spanning more than eight months. Through a deep investigation of laundry and electric mobility routines in the context of domestic micro-generation, we emphasised a natural engagement into Demand-Shifting which appeared as a complex and time-consuming task for participants which was not visible when we analysed their quantitative data. We revealed this complexity through Participatory Data Analyses, a method we designed to analyse the data in collaboration with the participating householders. This provided us with a comprehensive view of the relationship between domestic micro-generation and daily routines. Finally, we highlight the need for timely and contextual support through the deployment of interventions in-the-wild. Building on discussions of our findings in perspective of the literature, we propose a conceptual framework to support domestic interactive Demand-Shifting.

description: A tanulmány a hazai borászati termékek külkereskedelmi forgalmának elemzésével foglalkozik. A különböző mutatókkal, indexekkel történő értékelés eredményei eltérő képet adnak borászati termékeink piaci helyzetéről az Európai Unióban. A palackos bor még mindig piacot talál magának az EU-ban. A hordós borok esetében az éleződő verseny és a palackos borok iránti fokozódó igény, harmadik országok betörése az EU piacaira komoly kihívást jelent. A pezsgő esetében figyelhető meg leginkább az export stagnálása, az import növekedése. Jelenleg a nemzetközi borpiac hajtóerői az éleződő verseny a hagyományos és az új termelők között, a kereskedelmi láncok fokozódó befolyása, a változó fogyasztói szokások, az EU piacszabályozása, a márka és a marketingmunka szerepe. A továbbiakban ezért feltétlenül szükséges a hatékony marketing, a piacra jutási támogatások emelése (a közös agrárpolitika ui. lehetővé teszi a nemzeti kiegészítést), az export-garancia és exporthitel-biztosítás koncepciójának átgondolása, illetve volt szocialista piacaink (Oroszország, Ukrajna stb.) felmérése, boraink ottani bevezetése, hiszen ezek több évtizeden át megbízható nagy volumenű exportpiacaink voltak. Természetesen ezen a területen is fontos a szemléletváltás, mert a keleti piacokon is fokozódik a minőség iránti igény. --------------- The study is dealing with the foreign trade of Hungarian winery products. Analyses performed by means of different indices produced alternative interpretations concerning the market of winery products in the EU. Bottled wine is still an esteemed commodity of the EU market. In wine sold in barrels, the competition and the increasing demand in bottled wine offers a gap for the infiltration of new suppliers as a threatening challenge. The stagnating export and increasing import is typical for the champagne. At present, the international wine market is characterised by a severe competition between the traditional and the new producers, the extension o f chains of department stores and their increasing influence, the change in customs of the consumers and the EU regulations, the role o f trade marks and of the marketing activities. On the long run, an efficatious marketing and subvention is indispensable in order to secure the appearance on the market (the policy of the common market of agricultural products admits a national supplementation) by export guarantee and credit insurance as revised according to adequate conceptions, moreover, the assessment of the markets of late socialist countries (Russia, Ukraine, etc.) in order to introduce the Hungarian wines, because they were for several ten-year-periods reliable costumers of Hungarian export products at large volumes. As a matter of course, the change in attitudes towards quality is also necessary because demand for higher quality increases also in the eastern part of the world.

Novel haplotypes and polymorphisms of interleukin-10 and interleukin-18 pathway genes in complex inflammatory diseases
Creators: name: Shaw, David M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Complex diseases such as critical illness and post-cardiopulmonary bypass inflammation are characterized by inappropriate activation of the inflammatory response. Polymorphisms of key inflammatory mediator genes can alter the amount of that mediator produced and the severity of response to the stimulus. Interleukin-I 0 is a key down-regulator of the inflammatory response, dampening pro-inflammatory cytokine production follow injury. In opposition, interleukin-18 is a key pro-inflammatory cytokine, up-regulating the type I T cell response following activation. We hypothesized that polymorphisms and haplotypes of these genes are likely to contribute to alterations among patients in the response to stimuli such as critical illness and cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. A haplotype-based approach, grounded in linkage disequilibrium, is used for selection of polymorphisms to genotype in our patient cohorts, allowing great flexibility in choice of haplotype tagging polymorphisms. Novel haplotypes and polymorphisms of the interleukin-l 0 gene and interleukin-l S pathway genes (including the interleukin-18 binding protein and the interleukin-18 receptors 1 and receptor-accessory protein) were found to be associated with altered outcomes from cardiopulmonary bypass surgery as well as altered serum cytokine levels, indicating biologic plausibility. Significant results with novel polymorphisms of the interleukin-18 pathway genes in the cardiopulmonary bypass surgery cohort were not replicated in the critical illness cohort. This failure to reproduce initial findings may represent a lack of functionality of the identified polymorphisms, or the fact that effects of polymorphisms of the interleukin-I S pathway genes are not strong enough to affect survival or organ dysfunction in critical illness. The strong effects of these novel haplotypes and polymorphisms in the interleukin-I 0 and interleukin-l S pathway genes, including altered outcomes and intermediate phenotypes, indicate that these are attractive targets for further investigation in inflammatory diseases. The use of linkage disequilibrium and haplotypes for selection of polymorphisms in disease association studies is shown to be a powerful method of identifying markers of altered outcomes from inflammatory diseases.

description: The QCD/HQET matching coefficient for the heavy-quark field is calculated up to four loops. It must be finite; this requirement produces analytical results for some terms in the four-loop on-shell heavy-quark field renormalization constant which were previously only known numerically. The effect of a non-zero lighter-flavor mass is calculated up to three loops. A class of on-shell integrals with two masses is analyzed in detail. By specifying our result to QED, we obtain the relation between the electron field and the Bloch--Nordsieck field with four-loop accuracy.

Playing the role of educators : protagonists with dual purposes in The Noam Chomsky Lectures, Fronteras Americanas, and The Adventures of Ali and Ali and the Axes of Evil
Creators: name: Strilchuk, Amy Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is a close analysis of the relationship between form and content in three contemporary Canadian plays: The Noam Chomsky Lectures (Brooks and Verdecchia), Fronteras Americanas (Verdecchia), and The Adventures of Ali and Ali and the Axes of Evil (Youssef, Verdecchia, Chai). I focus on particular moments within each play where protagonists communicate Chomsky-inspired media theory through Brechtian devices such as direct address to the audience, the use of slide projections, and acknowledging that they exist as characters within a play. Each chapter assesses specific techniques used within a single play and their connection to the ideological impulses driving the theatrical communication. In doing so I demonstrate how each play’s particular formal features are related to specific ideological arguments. While the body of my thesis uses this method of dramaturgical analysis for Chomsky, Fronteras, and Ali and Ali, I also include numerous critical voices from various Canadian print publications in order to present a broader understanding of the current methods used by many critics and academics. When comparing my discoveries to theirs, I found a divide existed between two methods of analysis and the resulting conclusions that each group had made. One group of critics upholds dramatic techniques used in naturalism and Aristotelian forms and another group shares my method of analysis, discussing the relationship between form and content. I include this range of assessments in order to acknowledge the broad spectrum of discourse surrounding such contemporary plays and present the limits that exist when merely focusing on analysis that prioritizes neo-Aristotelian ideals.
