Jason vs GIJOE
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2019Jason vs GI JOE is partly an exercise in autobiography, an experiment in relational aesthetics, and an interdisciplinary artist project at the intersection of comic books, creative writing and performance art. This comic book, Jason vs. GIJOE, is a postmodern double erasure, based on the comic book GIJOE: Cobra II (Issue 1). The original pictures from the comic book have been removed, and replaced by a series of short narratives, describing autobiographical events from the life of the author: me, Jason. Speech bubbles from the original have been left to comment back over top of the stories, obscuring meaning but creating moments of unplanned dialogue. The comic is a readymade, twice erased: once to replace the drawings of the initial comic, and again when using the original dialogue bubbles to speak back to the narrative
XRF data from a temperate fjord in Alaska over the last 2,000 years
No full textScanning X-ray fluorometry (XRF) data were collected from the split surfaces of cores EW0408-32MC, -32TC, and -33JC (see Addison et al., 2013; doi:10.1002/jgrc.20243). Using the composite depth scale and alignment of the XRF data from the three cores, a continuous XRF data splice was generated. This splice uses the following depth horizons: 0.0-0.27 m bsf in EW0408-32MC; 0.272 – 0.65 m bsf in -33TC; and >0.65 m bsf in -33JC. This data release specifically focuses on the scanning XRF datasets for bromine (Br) and chlorine (Cl), as the Br/Cl ratio has been shown to reflect variations in primary productivity (see Addison et al., 2013; doi:10.1002/jgrc.20243 ). In addition to the raw counts per second units for Br and Cl, statistical calculations are also included: the geometric mean of all X-ray counts, which is in turn used to calculate the centered natural-log-ratio (clr) transformations of both Br and Cl. The resulting clr Br / clr Cl ratio is calculated, and a two-part linear background is removed from the dataset to correct for sediment compaction. The detrended clr Br / clr Cl data are presented in their native format, as well as being normalized to Z-scores; raw and 10-yr multi-pass smoothed data are included in this data release. A multi-decadal (40-yr) variance calculation is also included
Oral history interview with Jason Poudrier
No full textJason Poudrier, author, discusses growing up in a military family and living in Alaska, North Dakota, Oregon, and finally Oklahoma. He describes what it was like enlisting in the Army after high school in 2001 and how his military service affected him. A recipient of the Purple Heart, he shares his experiences getting injured by shrapnel in Iraq. He later talks about how he uses poetry and writing to cope with his memories of war, and how he hopes to help others do the same.The Deep Roots: Oklahoma Authors Collection is a series of interviews with authors who discuss their lives, work, and creative processes

The people behind the papers – Jason Ko and Daniel Lobo
No full textPlanarians grow when they are fed and shrink during periods of starvation. However, it is unclear how they maintain appropriate body proportions as their size changes. A new paper in Development investigates the differences between growth and shrinkage dynamics and builds a mathematical model to explore the mechanisms underpinning these two processes. To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author, Jason Ko, and corresponding author, Daniel Lobo, Associate Professor at the University of Maryland.https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.20298
Ep. #085 - Jason W. Moore
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cymene and Dominic talk capital and Vanilla Isis and then (11:21) we welcome to the podcast the one and only Jason W. Moore from Binghamton University, author of Capitalism in the Web of Life (Verso, 2015) and Anthropocene or Capitalocene? (PM Press, 2016). We chat with Jason about his most recent work, co-authored with Raj Patel, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things (U California Press, 2017), forthcoming this October. We talk about why he wanted to write a book for a broader audience, the problems with the “anthropocene” concept in the human sciences, how “capitalocene” can improve our thinking about world history, and how we can avoid vulgar materialism in critical environmental research and activism today. We cover the role that states and agriculture have played in shaping modern capitalism and Jason calls for a seriously engaged pluralism to tackle the urgent challenges of our era. We discuss the cheapening or thingification of life, capitalism as a gravitational field, the importance of frontiers, the violence of the Great Domestication, and why if green energy remains in the mode of “cheap fuel” nothing will change about capitalist accumulation. Jason explains why racial and gender domination are so often lacunae in critiques of petromodernity. Finally we ruminate on how to unmake the capitalist world-ecology and the key principles of the “reparation ecology” that Jason and his colleagues are calling for. Tired of the debate within the left about whether to prioritize jobs or the environment? Then you’ll want to listen on

Age determination of a temperate fjord in Alaska over the last 2,000 years
No full textMarine sediment core EW0408-33JC (57.162°N, 135.357°W, 146 m water depth) was recovered from Katlian Bay, a temperate fjord near Sitka, Alaska, in August 2004. EW0408-33JC is the jumbo piston core collected from the same site as EW0408-32MC, which was described in Addison et al. (2013, doi:10.1002/jgrc.20243). This data release describes the age control points for the most recent 2,000 years of EW0408-33JC, as established by a combination of radiometric 137Cs and excess 210Pb (Addison et al. (2013, doi:10.1002/jgrc.20243)), and five accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C samples. After calibrating these AMS 14C samples using the INTCAL20 curve (Reimer et al., 2020, doi:10.1017/RDC.2020.41) in CALIB 8.20 (Stuvier and Reimer, 1993, doi:10.1017/S0033822200013904) to calendar ages, the full set of geochronology data was input into the R software program (R Core Team, 2021; https://www.R-project.org) package CLAM (v. 2.6.1; Blaauw et al., 2010, doi:10.1016/j.quageo.2010.01.002) to generate a composite age-depth model for EW0408-33JC data. The composite depth scale was established using Geotek multi-sensor core logger (MSCL) data and linescan imagery to align EW0408-32MC, EW0408-33JC, and the trigger core for the jumbo piston core system EW0408-33TC. The MSCL data (gamma-ray wet bulk density and whole-round magnetic susceptibility) and linescans showed that EW0408-32MC recovered the sediment-water interface (see Addison et al. (2013, doi:10.1002/jgrc.20243) for more details), and that a shift of +0.33 m was needed to align EW0408-33TC with the datum of -32MC, and a shift of +0.54 m was required to align EW0408-33JC; together, these alignments permitted the generation of a continuous composite depth scale from 0 m (= sediment-water interface) to 5.53 m bsf (below sea floor), which is the composite depth horizon associated with 2000 calendar years ago
Addison\u27s Disease with Papilledema as the Presenting Feature
No full textAdrenal insufficiency as a cause of elevated intracranial pressure is unusual, and can be overlooked, leading to delayed diagnosis of primary endocrine dysfunction with potentially serious consequences. We present a case of papilledema as the presenting sign of Addison\u27s disease to highlight this relationship
