Repositioning the graphic designer as researcher
No full textIn academic terms, the discipline of graphic design is relatively young. Consequently the position of the discipline within academic territory, and the role of the designer, continue to be debated. In part, these debates have been a product of attempts to define and defend the discipline’s borders from within, in order to establish a sense of the role of graphic design and the graphic designer as commensurate with other disciplines both within and beyond art and design. In recent years graphic designers have variously been defined as ‘authors’, ‘producers’ and ‘readers’, yet none of these definitions seem to have provided any kind of productive or lasting impact within the academy. This paper suggests that rather than continue to seek territorial definitions and positions from within, it could be more productive to look beyond the confines of the discipline. Gaining a broader, interdisciplinary perspective on, and understanding of, qualitative research methods from other disciplines may enable the graphic designer to more fully position his or her practice within the wider academy. Such a perspective could help facilitate the repositioning and redefinition of the graphic designer as ‘researcher’ - a move that would be productive in relation to the future development of postgraduate research within the discipline

Biological results of the snellius expedition XXIII. The genus Macrophthalmus (Crustacea, Brachyura)
No full textThis paper records the species of Macrophthalmus (Ocypodidae, Macrophthalminae) collected by the Snellius Expedition during its exploration of the eastern region of the Malay Archipelago in the years 1929 and 1930. In addition, further material from this area in the collections of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, is included.
Full descriptions, figures and synonymies are given for those species recorded below which have not previously been covered by this author in his survey of Macrophthalmus (see Barnes, 1966a; 1966b; 1967; 1968a; 1970).
To facilitate this, material of these species has also been examined from the collections of the National Museum, Singapore, the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, and the British Museum (Natural History), London.
A full account of the localities mentioned below in connection with material from the Snellius Expedition has been given by Boschma (1936).
Sixteen species are included in this report; those redescribed are indicated by an asterisk in the list given below.

A Simple Construction for the Barnes-Wall Lattices
No full textA certain family of orthogonal groups (called &quot;Clifford groups &quot; by G. E. Wall) has arisen in a variety of different contexts in recent years. These groups have a simple definition as the automorphism groups of certain generalized Barnes-Wall lattices. This leads to an especially simple construction for the usual Barnes-Wall lattices. {This is based on the third author's talk at the Forney-Fest, M.I.T., March 2000, which in turn is based on our paper &quot;The Invariants of the Clifford Groups &quot; Designs, Codes, Crypt., 24 (2001), 99-121, to which the reader is referred for further details and proofs.

Failure of multitube sperm swim-up for sex preselection
No full textOBJECTIVE: To use double-label fluorescence in situ hybridization to evaluate a modified swim-up procedure that is purported to be effective for preconceptual sex selection. DESIGN: Controlled, blinded study. SETTING: University hospital laboratories. PATIENT(S): Donor males reporting for routine semen analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Percentages of X- and Y-bearing spermatozoa in neat semen and in two swim-up fractions, determined using double-label fluorescence in situ hybridization. RESULT(S): No clinically significant change from a 1:1 ratio was found in the distribution of X- or Y-bearing spermatozoa after double-label fluorescence in situ hybridization following a modified swim-up procedure and irrespective of the time (15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes) allowed for swim-up. CONCLUSION(S): Using fluorescence in situ hybridization, a modified swim-up procedure was evaluated for its purported ability to skew the relative percentages of X- and Y-bearing spermatozoa. No clinically significant change in the ratio of X- to Y-bearing spermatozoa was detected independent of time. Therefore, clinical application of this procedure should be strongly discouraged.Christopher J. De Jonge, Sean P. Flaherty, Annette M. Barnes, Nicholas J. Swann and Colin D. Matthew
Representations of war and trauma in embodied modernist literature : the identity politics of Amy Lowell, Djuna Barnes, H.D., and Gertrude Stein
No full textThis study situates the literary works of Amy Lowell, Djuna Barnes, H.D., and Gertrude Stein in a genealogy of American modernist war writing by women that disrupts and revises patriarchal war narrative. These authors take ownership of war and war-related trauma as subjects for women writers. Combining the theories of Dominick LaCapra, Judith Butler, Elaine Scarry, and Elizabeth Grosz with close readings of primary texts, I offer feminist analyses that account for trauma and real-world materiality in literary representations of female embodiment in wartime. This framework enables an interdisciplinary discussion that focuses on representations of war and trauma in conjunction with identity politics.I examine Lowell's poetry collection Men, Women and Ghosts (1916), Barnes's novel Nightwood (1936), H.D.'s poem Trilogy (1944-1946), and Stein's novel Mrs. Reynolds (1952). The chapters highlight the progressively feminist and personal ownership of war and trauma embedded in the texts. Lowell and Barnes begin the work of deconstructing gendered binary constructions and inserting women into war narrative, and H.D. and Stein continue this trajectory through cultivation of more pronounced depictions of women and their bodies in war narrative.The strategies are distinct and specific to each author, but there are common characteristics in their literary responses to World War I and World War II. Each author protests war: war is destructive for Lowell, perverse for Barnes, traumatic for H.D., and disruptive for Stein. Additionally, each author renders female bodies as sites of contested identity and as markers of presence in war narrative. The female bodies portrayed are often traumatized and marked by the ravages of war: bodily injury and psychological and emotional distress. H.D. and Stein envision strategies for resolving (if only partially) trauma, but Lowell and Barnes do not.This project recovers alternative war narratives by important American modernist women writers, expands the definition and canon of war literature, contributes new scholarship on works by the selected authors, and constructs an original critical framework. The ramifications of this study are an increased awareness of who was writing about war and the shape that responses to it took in avant-garde literature of the early twentieth century.Thesis (Ph.

A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
