Eugene MacDonald Bonner Collection - Accession 743
No full textThe Eugene MacDonald Bonner Collection is a good source for the study of the life and art of the North Carolina born composer, music critic, and author, Eugene MacDonald Bonner (1889-1983). It contains some letter by Bonner himself; plus others by his aunt, Mary Virginia Bonner; and his friends Leon Barzin, conductor and music director of the National Orchestral Association; Claudio D’Agata, a conductor who knew Bonner when he lived in Taormina, Italy; Alan Hartman, a friend who knew him in New York; and H.C. Haynsworth who met Bonner, several taped recordings of his music, a number of photographs and newspaper articles, and several miscellaneous genealogical references to the Bonner Family. There are also tapes of interviews by Olimpio Guidi with Eva Strazzeri and Claudio and Brigette D’Agata.https://digitalcommons.winthrop.edu/manuscriptcollection_findingaids/1733/thumbnail.jp
The urinary excretion of tryptophan and tryptophan metabolites in the chronic ethanol-fed rat
No full textAn investigation was made into the hypothesis that chronic ethanol ingestion disturbs the metabolism of tryptophan which is reflected by alterations in the urinary excretion of the metabolites 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), anthranillic acid (AA) and indoleacetic acid (IAA). In particular, we investigated whether experimental chronic alcoholism is associated with a decrease in the tryptophan metabolite ratios as suggested in the literature. Male Wistar rats were chronically fed a nutritionally-complete liquid diet in which ethanol comprised 35% of total calories: controls were pair-fed identical amounts of the same diet in which ethanol was replaced by isocaloric glucose. At 6 weeks, 24 h urine samples were collected for the analysis of tryptophan, 5-HIAA, AA and IAA by HPLC. During ethanol-feeding there were reductions in the daily urinary excretion (i.e. μmol/24 h) of tryptophan (–57%, P = 0·026) and concomitant increases in 5-HIAA excretion (62%, P = 0·057). Expression of data in terms of lean tissue mass (i.e. urinary creatinine) revealed identical conclusions. An analysis was performed on the molar ratios of these urinary analytes. The tryptophan: total metabolite ratio was significantly decreased (by −53%), but the AA: total metabolite ratio was not significantly altered (P = 0·102). The ratios 5-HIAA/AA and 5-HIAA/IAA were slightly increased, but they did not attain statistical significance (P > 0·351). It was concluded that chronic ethanol feeding is associated with significant changes in the urinary excretion of tryptophan and its related metabolites. Many of the above changes were contrary to previous clinical data and this may be due to dietary and nutritional deficiencies or to alterations in the diurnal pattern of 5-hydroxytryptamine and tryptophan metabolism

Ordinary television: Analyzing popular TV
No full text'Most cultural analysis focuses on the spectacular and the unusual. Frances Bonner has done us a great service by insisting on - and demonstrating - the importance of everyday TV. Ordinary Television breaks genuinely new ground' - Toby Miller, New York University In this book, Frances Bonner provides a distinctive angle on a key area of research and teaching across media and cultural studies - the content of television and the relations between television genres and audiences. Hitherto most books on television have focused on drama, or news and current affairs. In other words, they tend to ignore 'ordinary' television - lifestyle programmes and 'reality TV', just the sort of programmes which increasing dominate the schedules. In Ordinary Television, Frances Bonner makes a distinctive argument for regarding these disparate shows as a whole. By examining a substantial range of these programmes, Frances Bonner uncovers their shared characteristics, especially through a consideration of the dominant and disguised discources which pervade them. In addition, the comparative nature of her study enables the author to launch a powerful critique of conventional theories in relation to the globalization of television. This book will be invaluable reading for anyone interested in television and the media in general

Islamic geometric patterns: their historical development and traditional methods of construction
No full textThe main focus of this unique book is an in-depth examination of the polygonal technique; the primary method used by master artists of the past in creating Islamic geometric patterns. The author details the design methodology responsible for this all-but-lost art form and presents evidence for its use from the historical record, both of which are vital contributions to the understanding of this ornamental tradition. Additionally, the author examines the historical development of Islamic geometric patterns, the significance of geometric design within the broader context of Islamic ornament as a whole, the formative role that geometry plays throughout the Islamic ornamental arts (including calligraphy, the floral idiom, dome decoration, geometric patterns, and more), and the underexamined question of pattern classification. Featuring over 600 beautiful color images, Islamic Geometric Patterns: Their Historical Development and Traditional Methods of Construction is a valuable addition to the literature of Islamic art, architecture and geometric patterns. This book is ideal for students and scholars of geometry, the history of mathematics, and the history of Islamic art, architecture, and culture. In addition, artists, designers, craftspeople, and architects will all find this book an exceptionally informative and useful asset in their fields. Jay Bonner is an architectural ornamentalist and unaffiliated scholar of Islamic geometric design. He received his MDes from the Royal College of Art in London (1983). He has contributed ornamental designs for many international architectural projects, including the expansion of both the al-Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) in Mecca, and the al-Masjid an Nawabi (Prophet’s Mosque) in Medina, as well the Tomb of Sheikh Hujwiri in Lahore, and the Ismaili Centre in London – to name but a few. He is committed to the revitalization of Islamic geometric design through the teaching of tradi tional methodological practices. To this end, in addition to publishing, Jay Bonner has lectured and taught design seminars at many universities and conferences in North America, Europe, North Africa and Asia
