title: Nanosecond protein dynamics:  First detection of a neutron incoherent spin−echo signal

authors: Bellissent-Funel, Marie-Claire

subjects: biology

abstract: Motions in proteins occur over a wide range of time scales, from femtoseconds to seconds or longer.¹⁻³ Therefore, their characterization requires the application of a correspondingly wide range of experimental probes. Among these incoherent neutron scattering (INS) is a particularly direct source of information on time scales and forms of hydrogen motions.⁴⁻⁸ However, due to limited accuracy in the measurement of energy changes of scattered neutrons, INS work has been limited to the 10⁻¹⁵-10⁻¹⁰s time scales. The neutron spin-echo technique was developed to overcome this limitation.⁹ Neutron spin-echo allows precise measurement of velocity changes of neutrons via Larmor precession of the neutron’s spin. This has led to the possibility of extracting information on atomic motions on nanosecond and longer time scales.

title: Detecting sequential structure

authors: Nevill-Manning, Craig G.

subjects: PBD

abstract: Programming by demonstration requires detection and analysis of sequential patterns in a user’s input, and the synthesis of an appropriate structural model that can be used for prediction. This paper describes SEQUITUR, a scheme for inducing a structural description of a sequence from a single example. SEQUITUR integrates several different inference techniques: identification of lexical subsequences or vocabulary elements, hierarchical structuring of such subsequences, identification of elements that have equivalent usage patterns, inference of programming constructs such as looping and branching, generalisation by unifying grammar rules, and the detection of procedural substructure., Although SEQUITUR operates with abstract sequences, a number of concrete illustrations are provided.

title: Bite

authors: Mitchell, Tori

subjects: poetry

abstract: Bite is a collection of blunt confessional poetry draped in honesty, identity, and 21st century feminism, examined through lived experience with eating disorders, sexuality, trauma, disconnect from family and culture, love and loss, and what it means to be a girl growing up. The collection explores these raw concepts with vulnerability, through the eyes of ‘wolf girl’, in hopes that talking loudly about these topics will force the public to challenge the silence and stigma around them.  

This thesis was inspired by Maori Mythology, and all of the Polynesian poets who showed me how important it is for women of colour to share their stories and experiences. It was also influenced by feminist artists Jenny Holzer, Tracey Emin, and Barbara Kruger, whose art embodies the content of these poems in a literal way: freedom of expression, stripped bare and unflinching. The poetry in this collection is confronting, visceral, and filled with bite.
