The Poetics of Desire in Thomas Traherne and C. S. Lewis

Abstract This chapter uses citations by Lewis from Thomas Traherne to show that the idea of desire had a powerful effect on the poetics of both writers, and that it shapes Lewis’ approach to ‘co-inherence’. For both writers, desire is the longing for something unknown, although Lewis writes about a joy that remains unsatisfied and Traherne about joy satisfied. For both writers, this desire is an enlargement of the self, which amounts to a co-inherence with others and God. For both writers, desire is worship, returning the beauty of the world in praise to God, while Lewis is less ready to follow Traherne’s view of human creativity as contributing something ‘new’ to God’s own creation. The chapter argues that, despite his admiration for Wordsworth, for Lewis joy is based in a Trahernian poetics of desire, and that Traherne’s longing for a ‘far country’ is reflected in the Chronicles of Narnia.

Enabling less-infrastructure road communication networks for VANETs

Securing the inter-vehicle communication is a vital aspect for VANETs. Thus, authentication as a primary security function is required for the participant vehicles and their generated message. Mostly, symmetric authentication protocols which depend on the network infrastructure Road Side Units (RSUs) have low computation and communication overhead. In this work, a Central Push-based Replication Protocol (CPRP) is proposed to support the availability of symmetric authentication offered by the RSUs in cases of RSUs failures. A performance analysis for CPRP has been elaborated with different ratios of RSU failures in different realistic scenarios. The results showed that CPRP can significantly improve the authentication service availability in general and can enable less infrastructure VANETs.

Lipase-Catalyzed Interesterification for the Synthesis of Medium-Long-Medium (MLM) Structured Lipids

Medium-long-medium (MLM) structured lipids typically contain medium-chain fatty acids (C6-C12) at sn-1,3 and long-chain fatty acids (C14-C24) at sn-2 positions. They have reduced calories and are suitable for the control of obesity, lipid malabsorption and other metabolic disorders. This review focuses on the synthesis of MLM lipids by the enzymatic interesterification. It gives detailed description of biocatalysts, substrates, reactors and synthesis methods, and discusses the use of MLM lipids in food products. The information provided in this review can be considered as the current state-of-the art for developing a future strategy for the synthesis of MLM structured lipids.

Debate: Facing uncertainty with(out) a sense of control – cultural influence on adolescents’ response to the COVID‐19 pandemic

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has brought about healthcare, economic, and psychological crises around the world. The psychological impact on adolescents is likely going to be uneven across different societies, as cultures vary in terms of their dominant learning style that may influence how people cope with uncertainty and perceive their sense of control. We postulate that for adolescents in individualistic cultures where individual learning prevails, their sense of control might be undermined by societal disease‐control regulations that restrict personal freedoms, while adolescents’ sense of control might increase via participating in societal preventive efforts in collectivistic cultures where social learning is more prevalent. Individual differences regarding one’s sense of control would, in turn, have implications for adolescents’ short‐term adjustments to COVID‐19‐related challenges and their future development.

A Study of Good Predecessor Programs for Reducing Fitness Evaluation Cost in Genetic Programming

Good Predecessor Programs (GPPs) are the ancestors of the best program found in a Genetic Programming (GP) evolution. This paper reports on an investigation into GPPs with the ultimate goal of reducing fitness evaluation cost in tree-based GP systems. A framework is developed for gathering information about GPPs and a series of experiments is conducted on a symbolic regression problem, a binary classification problem, and a multi-class classification program with increasing levels of difficulty in different domains. The analysis of the data shows that during evolution, GPPs typically constitute less than 33% of the total programs evaluated, and may constitute less than 5%. The analysis results further shows that in all evaluated programs, the proportion of GPPs is reduced by increasing tournament size and to a less extent, affected by population size. Problem difficulty seems to have no clear influence on the proportion of GPPs.

Hysteresis and Emu

We consider how differences between the way firms react to a common monetary policy affect the performance of a monetary union. A model is presented in which heterogeneous firms respond discontinuously to monetary shocks. The implication is that the level of economic activity has a selective memory of the extremum values of the shocks experienced, and depends on the distribution of switching values for entry and exit.

Serum Markers in Patients with Resectable Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Macrophage Inhibitory Cytokine 1 versus CA19-9

Abstract Purpose: More accurate serum markers of pancreatic cancer could improve the early detection and prognosis of this deadly disease. We compared the diagnostic utility of a panel of candidate serum markers of pancreatic cancer. Experimental Design: We collected preoperative serum from 50 patients with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma, as well as sera from 50 patients with chronic pancreatitis and 50 age/sex-matched healthy controls from our institution. Sera were analyzed for the following candidate markers of pancreatic cancer: CA19-9, macrophage inhibitory cytokine 1 (MIC-1), osteopontin, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1, and hepatocarcinoma-intestine-pancreas protein levels. Results: By logistic regression analysis, MIC-1 and CA19-9 were significant independent predictors of diagnosis. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that MIC-1 was significantly better than CA19-9 in differentiating patients with pancreatic cancer from healthy controls (area under the curve is 0.99 and 0.78, respectively; P = 0.003), but not in distinguishing pancreatic cancer from chronic pancreatitis (area under the curve of 0.81 and 0.74, respectively; P = 0.63). Hepatocarcinoma-intestine-pancreas/pancreatitis-associated protein, osteopontin, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 serum levels did not provide additional diagnostic power. Conclusion: In the differentiation of patients with resectable pancreatic cancer from controls, serum MIC-1 outperforms other markers including CA19-9.

Minerals as exogenous modulators in enhancing silk productivity of silkworm, Bombyx mori L.

Experiments were conducted by supplementing minerals viz., zinc sulphate, magnesium sulphate and potassium chloride with mulberry leaves to improve the silk yield of B. mori. Per os administration of minerals to silkworm larvae during third, fourth and fifth instars significantly enhanced the larval, cocoon and silk reeling related parameters. Among the different minerals studied, it was found that the treatment with Zinc sulphate @ 100 ppm + Magnesium sulphate @ 200 ppm + Potassium chloride @ 100 ppm recorded significantly higher mature larval weight (4.45 g), ERR (97.16%), cocoon weight (2.30 g), shell weight (0.55 g), pupal weight (1.76 g) and shell ratio (23.19%), filament length (1458 m), filament weight (0.431 g) and silk productivity (6.35 cg/day). The proteins in silk gland (62.70 mg/g) and haemolymph (46.00 mg/g) were also found be higher in the above treatment apart from fibroin (410 mg/shell) and sericin (102.0 mg/shell) contents in cocoons.

Photosynthesis of plant régénérants. Specificity ofin vitro conditions and plantlet response

Regenerants from tobacco(Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. White Burley) leaf segments cultivatedin vitro in vessels with solid agar medium under usual conditions (plantlets) grew under very low irradiance (I = 40 μxmol m−2 s−1), very high relative humidity (more than 90%) and decreased CO2 concentration (ca) during light period. In comparison with seedlings of a similar number of leaves and similar total leaf area grown in sand and nutrient solution, the plantlets had lower dry mass of shoots and roots per plant and thinner leaves almost without trichomes and epicuticular waxes. Due to a low transpiration rate under high relative humidity the water potential of plantlet leaves was higher than that of seedling leaves and the difference in water potential between leaves and medium was lowei. The rate of water loss from leaves detached from plantlets was considerably faster than that from seedlings under the same conditions (I = 110 μrnol m−2; s−1, temperature 30 °C, relative humidity 50 %). Net photosynthetie rates (Pn) of leaves of plantlets and seedlings measured under saturating I, natural ca and the leaf temperature 20 °C were similar, nevertheless the shape of curves relating Pn to c» indicated some differences in photosynthetie parameters(e.g. saturation of Pn under lower ca> higher CO2 compensation concentration in plantlets than in seedlings). Similarly compensation and saturating I were lower in plantlets than in seedlings. The shape of transpiration curves as well as the expressive linear phases of PN(ca) and PN(I) curves of plantlet leaves indicated ineffective stomatal control of gas exchance. These results were confirmed by microscopic observations of stomatal movementsin situ

Study on Dynamic Thermal Characteristic of the Converter Transformer Valve-side Bushing

The problem of overheating defect in the valve-side bushing is becoming more and more obvious, the key to solve the problem is to explore the thermal characteristics of the valve-side bushing. In this paper, the thermal loss calculation model was established by analyzing and extracting the current characteristics inside the valve-side bushing, and the dynamic thermal characteristics calculation model of the valve-side bushing defects was established base d on the heat transfer mode of the valve-side bushing, so as to study the dynamic distribution law of the thermal characteristics of the valve-side bushing defects. The results show that the temperature rise of valve-side bushing can be described as a first-order exponential function, this conclusion provides a basis for monitoring the running state of the valve-side bushing.

NASA Space Technology Can Improve Soldier Health, Performance and Safety

One of the primary goals of NASA Life Sciences research is '... to enable a permanent human presence in space.' To meet this goal, NASA is creating alternative protocols designed to evaluate and test countermeasures that will account for and correct the environmental effects of space flight on crewmembers health, safety, and operational performance. NASA investigators have previously evaluated the effects of long-duration space flight on physiology and performance of cosmonauts aboard the MIR space station. They also initiated tests of a countermeasure, Autogenic-Feedback Training Exercise (AFTE) designed to prevent and/or correct adverse effects, i.e., facilitate adaptation to space and re-adaptation to Earth. AFTE is a six-hour physiological training program that has proven to be a highly efficient and effective method for enabling people to monitor and voluntarily control a range of their own physiological responses, thereby minimizing adverse reactions to environmental stress. However, because of limited opportunities to test this technology with space flight crews, it is essential to find operational or 'real world' environments in which to validate the efficacy of this approach.

1947: The UN Plan of Partition for Palestine

This chapter revisits UN General Assembly resolution 181(II) recommending the partition of Palestine. It undertakes critical international legal analysis of the resolution with reference to the work of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine whose report formed the basis of the resolution. Contrary to the traditional historiography, this chapter posits that the resolution was neither procedurally ultra vires the General Assembly, nor were its terms substantively consistent with prevailing international law as regards self-determination of peoples. Set against the larger context of the international legal status of Palestine from WWI to the end of the British Mandate, this chapter argues that resolution 181(II) was the opening act in the reification of Palestine’s legal subalternity within the newly minted UN system. It demonstrates that the resolution was an embodiment, in legal terms, of the lingering tension between the rule by law of late-European empire and the ostensible rule of law of the post-WWII era. It also shows that the resolution helped hasten the dissolution of Palestine and the dispersal of its people, the consequences of which remain with us today.

Prenatal diagnosis of propionic acidemia

Prenatal diagnosis of a fetus with propionic acidemia has been accomplished by the detection of methylcitrate, a unique metabolite, in the amniotic fluid by liquid partition chromatography and gas chromatographymass spectrometry. The diagnosis was confirmed by demonstration of deficient activity of propionyl-CoA carboxylase in cells cultured from the amniotic fluid and in fetal tissues. In two subsequent pregnancies, methylcitrate was not present in amniotic fluid. Enzyme assay indicated that one fetus was heterozygous and the other was normal, and healthy infants were born at term. The analysis of organic acids in amniotic fluid permits very rapid prenatal diagnosis, usually within 48 hours after obtaining the fluid. It may provide a general method in conditions in which an unusual metabolite can be identified. (<i>JAMA</i>242:1048-1052, 1979)

Development of a deformation-based micro surface texturing system for friction reduction

Friction and wear have been the major factors affecting the energy efficiency in all industries. There are continuing researches to look for various methods to improve the contact by reducing the surface friction. According to previous studies, one of the effective methods is to create micro-scale dimples or grooves on the surface of contact to reduce friction. Previously, most of the researches focus on changing surface texture on the flat surfaces. However, this project will apply this method further to curved surfaces, particularly shaft surfaces, and develop a machine to achieve this purpose. In this report, the different stages of how the machine is designed will be elaborated in details. Throughout the project, dynamic simulation of the form rolling process has been conducted and analyzed. Then drawings and 3D model have also been constructed to show more design details of the machine and its components. At the end of the project, the complete machine design has been shown and it is ready for fabrication and assembly in the next stage.

Accurate and efficient computation of the Boltzmann equation for Kramer's problem

In this work, a novel synthetic iteration scheme (SIS) is developed for the LBE to find solutions to Kramer's problem accurately and efficiently: the velocity distribution function is first solved by the conventional iterative scheme, then it is modified such that in each iteration i) the flow velocity is guided by an ordinary differential equation that is asymptotic-preserving at the Navier-Stokes limit and ii) the shear stress is equal to the average shear stress. Based on the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook model, the SIS is assessed to be efficient and accurate. Then we investigate the Kramer's problem for gases interacting through the inverse power-law, shielded Coulomb, and Lennard-Jones potentials, subject to diffuse-specular and Cercignani-Lampis gas-surface boundary conditions. When the tangential momentum accommodation coefficient (TMAC) is not larger than one, the Knudsen layer function is strongly affected by the potential, where its value and width increase with the effective viscosity index of gas molecules. Moreover, the Knudsen layer function exhibits similarities among different values of TMAC when the intermolecular potential is fixed. For Cercignani-Lampis boundary condition with TMAC larger than one, both the viscous slip coefficient and Knudsen layer function are affected by the intermolecular potential, especially when the "backward" scattering limit is approached. With the asymptotic theory by Jiang and Luo for the singular behavior of the velocity gradient in the vicinity of the solid surface, we find that the whole Knudsen layer function can be well fitted by power series.

Penetrating Women’s Bodies: The Problem of Law and Medical Technology

Women's bodies are a site of contested meanings. Feminist research has documented the extent to which women's bodies have been a focus of power struggles, but in this paper I want to build on these insights and ultimately to concentrate more on the question of how meanings are reproduced and sustained. We know, for example, that the medical profession has striven, with some success, to exercise what is now regarded by many as legitimate control over women's bodies (e.g., hospital rather than home births). We perhaps focus less on the meanings that have been produced in the process of exercising this control. Arguably we have paid less attention than we should to the production of deeply-held views about diseased, contagious and sexualised bodies and malfunctioning reproductive organs, all of which come in part to symbolise women — and even enter into women's consciousness.
