Stay the Night: Meera Margaret Singh at the Gladstone Hotel Stay the Night : Meera Margaret Singh à l’hôtel Gladstone
No full textThis essay examines Meera Margaret Singh’s exhibition Nightingale in the time and place of the liminal space we call “hotel.” In intertexual dialogue with Wayne Koestenbaum’s Hotel Theory, the author not only reviews Singh’s intimate photographs of her mother, she reads the images with and against the architecture in which they are exhibited. The Gladstone as exhibition space redoubles Singh’s emphasis on the tense connectivity of apparent binaries: youth and age, public and private, artist and model, object and spectator, living and dying. The quotidian activities of hotel living—guests’ arrivals, departures, and returns—become inextricable pieces of Singh’s site-specific installation. The author theorizes what Freud calls the “foretaste of mourning” in this work, grappling with what will be but is not yet the death of the mother. Singh’s Nightingale proposes that we do not “work through” mourning: mourning is a perpetual way of being in the present.Cet article examine l’exposition photographique de Meera Margaret Singh dans l’espace liminal qu’est l’hôtel. En dialogue intertextuel avec l’œuvre de Wayne Koestenbaum, Hotel Theory, l’auteur examine les portraits intimes de la mère de la photographe, tout en les lisant en fonction de l’architecture de leur emplacement. L’hôtel Gladstone en tant que lieu d’exposition redouble donc l’accent que met la photographe sur les liens tendus des systèmes binaires apparents: la jeunesse et l’âge ; le public et le privé ; l’artiste et le modèle ; l’objet et le spectateur; vivre et mourir. Les activités quotidiennes de la vie en hôtel – l’arrivée, le départ, et le retour d’invités – deviennent des éléments inextricables de l’œuvre in situ. L’auteur théorise le concept de Freud sur l’avant-goût du deuil, explorant ce qui deviendra mais ne l’est pas encore : la mort de la mère. Cette exposition propose que nous ne « faisons » pas le deuil : le deuil est une façon perpétuelle d’exister au présent

Investigation of older people's needs at home to inspire inclusive home design with smart products and services
No full textAs the world population is ageing, many researchers have explored and contributed to improving older people's quality of life from diverse perspectives. The living room has been identified as one of the most frequently used spaces at home. It is multi-functional: used for reading, tea/coffee, TV and entertainment, meeting with friends, meals, and even sleeping. This project aims to investigate the experiences of older people with their living room at home to identify risks and challenges they face in their day-to-day life and indicate the reasons behind it. An 9-week ethnographic user study approach was employed to explore older people's natural behavior with multiple activities in their living room through video-based observation, in-depth interview, and cultural probes with 11 households. Qualitative content analysis was applied to analyze the collected data to identify key factors that have an impact on older people's living experience in their living room. Finally, all findings from this project help the author to develop design insights for improving living room space design, furniture and furniture arrangement, and atmospheres design to improve older people's standard of living in the UK
Early growth response gene-2 (Egr-2) regulates the development of B and T cells
No full textThe study was supported by Arthritis Research UK.
Copyright @ 2011 Li et al.BACKGROUND: Understanding of how transcription factors are involved in lymphocyte development still remains a challenge. It has been shown that Egr-2 deficiency results in impaired NKT cell development and defective positive selection of T cells. Here we investigated the development of T, B and NKT cells in Egr-2 transgenic mice and the roles in the regulation of distinct stages of B and T cell development. METHODS AND FINDINGS: The expression of Egr1, 2 and 3 were analysed at different stages of T and B cell development by RT-PCT and results showed that the expression was strictly regulated at different stages. Forced expression of Egr-2 in CD2+ lymphocytes resulted in a severe reduction of CD4+CD8+ (DP) cells in thymus and pro-B cells in bone marrow, which was associated with reduced expression of Notch1 in ISP thymocytes and Pax5 in pro-B cells, suggesting that retraction of Egr-2 at the ISP and pro-B cell stages is important for the activation of lineage differentiation programs. In contrast to reduction of DP and pro-B cells, Egr-2 enhanced the maturation of DP cells into single positive (SP) T and NKT cells in thymus, and immature B cells into mature B cells in bone marrow. CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that Egr-2 expressed in restricted stages of lymphocyte development plays a dynamic, but similar role for the development of T, NKT and B cells.This article is provided by the Brunel Open Access publishing fund

Previous issue date: 2017-12-15It is understood that mind wandering utilizes executive resources to some extent, but the underlying processes involved with the initiation and maintenance of mind wandering remains unclear. Here we used a new approach to estimate the time of focus and time of mind wandering separately in two different experiments. In experiment 1, we combined the self-caught and probe-caught methods to estimate the time of focus and time of mind wandering separately, and examined their relationship to working memory capacity. Here participants performed an OSPAN task and subsequently a basic Mindfulness Meditation Task (focus on breath), where participants indicated when they became aware that they were mind wandering (self-caught method and subsequently the probe-caught method). Results showed that time of focus but not time of mind wandering increased with greater working memory capacity, suggesting that individuals with higher working memory capacity were able to focus on the current task longer, but had little effect on the ability to catch themselves mind wandering after it occurred. In experiment 2, participants read both easy and difficult reading passages and the method of probing for mind wandering experiences were similar to experiment 1 (self-caught method and subsequently the probe-caught method). Here results showed longer time of focus in the easy readings compared to the hard readings, but no difference in time of mind wandering, suggesting that individuals were able to focus longer on the easy readings, but once mind wandering occurs, it will last a comparable amount of time regardless of reading difficulty. Taken together, these results indicate the importance of separating the initiation from the maintenance of mind wandering.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2019-12-01The student, Meera Zukosky, accepted the attached license on 2017-12-15 at 15:52.The student, Meera Zukosky, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2017-12-15 at 16:07.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2017-12-15 at 16:15.Embargo set by: Seth Robbins for item 105506

Quantification of impact of lime on mechanical behaviour of lime cement blended mortars for bedding joints in masonry systems
Full text linkIn the case of blended lime-cement mortars used for bedding joints in masonry systems, substitution of cement with lime in the binder involves changes in strength and stiffness. However, extensive quantification and correlation of these changes in mechanical properties appear to be scarcely explored in existing literature. This work aims at providing a methodical experimental campaign, targeting 14 different lime-cement mixes with the quantity of lime in the binder varying from 10% to 75% (by volume), binder-aggregate (B/Ag) ratios – of 1:3, 1:4, 1:5 and 1:6 at 6 different curing ages from 7 to 180 days. Changes in compressive strength and flexural strength were expressed as functions (equations) of lime content in the binder, B/Ag ratio and curing age. Every 1% increment in the quantity of lime in the binder led to approximately 1.4% decrease in mechanical strength of the mortar with respect to the reference (10% lime in the binder). Furthermore, correlation(s) between ultrasound pulse velocity (UPV), density, compressive and flexural strength have also been explored. Compressive strength divided by flexural strength provided an almost constant value for all lime-cement compositions at all ages (ratio ∼ 3), decreasing as a function of B/Ag ratio in the mix. The work has been concluded with a discussion on trends in E-modulus (4–18 GPa) and open porosity (23%–27%) as a function of lime content in the binder of the mix and the age of the mortar.EuLA - European Lime Association; FCT Individual Scholarship of 1st author. uropean Lime Association for funding this project.
