    Entangled Lives: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds, and Shape Our Futures

    No full text
    Merlin Sheldrake, Biologist, speaker, and New York Times best-selling author. - Thinking about fungi makes the world look different. Most fungi live out of sight, yet make up a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that support and sustain nearly all living systems. Fungi throw our concepts of individuality and even intelligence into question. They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and help remediate environmental disaster. In this talk, Merlin will discuss the ways these extraordinary organisms – and our relationships with them – change our understanding of the planet on which we live, and the ways that we think, feel, and behave.https://scholarworks.boisestate.edu/ideas_of_nature_gallery/1041/thumbnail.jp

    AbstractThe Aesthetic of Type Cyrene Merlin Road Race Frame. Type Cyrene Merlin road race frame is one of the innovative designs of Tom Kellogg and produced by Merlin Metal Work, known as one of the best bike production in Tennessee, USA. Produce uniquely with laser engraved motif on the frame pipe, this bike won The Best Titanium Bike in North American Handmade BicycleShow. This paper explained about the aesthetic analysis of the product design with the formalistic aspect, the technical aspect, and the ergonomic aspect which affect the function of the product. The formalistic analysis instruments consistof intra-aesthetic factors. From the analysis concluded that the aesthetic value of the product is not a single value but blended with technology. The Type Cyrene Merlin road race frame is becoming the high value product that produced withhigh accuracy and craftsmanship when still focused on functional aspect and the user comfort.AbstrakEstetika pada Frame Sepeda Balap Merlin Tipe Cyrene. Frame sepeda balap Merlin tipe Cyrene merupakan salah satu karya inovatif dari Tom Kellogg yang diproduksi oleh Merlin Metal Work, salah satu produsen sepeda terbaik di dunia yang berlokasi di Tennessee, Amerika Serikat.Diproduksi secara khusus dengan motif hiasan grafir laser dipermukaan pipa frame, frame sepeda ini memenangkan The Best Titanium Bike di North American Handmade Bicycle Show. Makalah ini memaparkan analisis estetika pada desain produk dengan analisis aspek formalistik dan instrumen analisis yang meliputi faktor-faktor intraestetik, dilanjutkan dengan analisis aspek teknis dan ergonomis yang mempengaruhi fungsi produk. Dari analisis tersebut disimpulkan bahwa nilai estetis suatu produk pada akhirnya tidak lagi menjadi satu nilai murni tetapi berbaur dengan teknologi. Frame sepeda balap Merlin tipe Cyrene menjadi produk bernilai tinggi yang diproduksi denganketelitian dan craftsmanship serta tetap memperhatikan aspekfungsional dan kenyamanan pada penggunaanya

    A study of the behaviour and interactions of the novel FERM protein Willin

    No full text
    Willin is a novel member of the Four-point-one Ezrin Radixin Moesin (FERM) protein superfamily, containing an N-terminal FERM domain most like the Ezrin-Radixin-Moesin (ERM) family but also the closely related protein Merlin. Willin was initially discovered as a yeast two-hybrid binding partner of neurofascin155, and this interaction has now been confirmed by both co-localisation studies and the use of two different biochemical methods. Like neurofascin155, Willin also localises to detergent resistant membranes, and like the ERM family, it is able to bind to phospholipids. The expression of Willin appears to be toxic as the production of cell-lines stably expressing Willin proved to be not possible and this appears to be because it induces apoptosis in cultured cells. This is a proliferation control function consistent with the suggestion that Willin is the human homologue of the Drosophila tumour suppressor ‘Expanded’. Three antibodies to Willin were also characterised and a novel splice variant, Willin2, subcloned into a GFP-tagged plasmid for comparison with the original form

    voiceCollected by Merlin Mitchell Reel 32 Transcribed by Kyle Perrin Item 4 Merlin Mitchell F a y e t t e v i l l e , Ark. July 10, 1950 The State of Arkansas My name i s Sanford Barnes, I come from a Northern town, I ' v e traveled t h i s wide world over, I've traveled t h i s wide world arornd, Through ups and downs and miseries and some good days I ' v e saw, But I never new what misery was ' t i l I came to Arkansas. I landed in Ft. Smith one s u l t r y afternoon, I stepped across the depot and I walked into a saloon, Up stepped a living skeleton and he handed me his paw, He said he ran the best hotel in the State of Arkansas. I follered my conductor t o his f i n e dwelling place, There was novelty depicted in his melancholy face, His hair hung down in rat t a i l s on his long and lantern jaw, He was a perty f a i r type of a l l the gents I met in Arkansas. I st a r t e d out next morning t o catch that early t r a i n, He says, Don't be in a hurry, lad; I ' v e got some land to drain, I ' l l pay you 50 a day and all that you can chaw, You'll find yourself a d i f f e r e n t man when you leave Arkansas. Well, I worked six weeks for that son-of-a-gun, Jed Harrin was his name, He was six foot tall in his stocking f e e t and he looked like a crane, His bread i t was corn dodger, his meat you couldn't chaw, And t h a t ' s the kind of hash they had in the State of Arkansas. He fed me on corn dodgers as hard as any rock, ' T i l a l l my t e e t h began to loose, my knees began to knock, I got so thing on Sassafras tea I could hide behind a straw, Indeed I was a different man when I l e f t Arkansas. Farewell t o these swamp angels, to cane breaks and c h i l l s, Farewell t o sage and sassafras and t o corn dodger p i l l s, I'm going to the Indian Nation, going to marry me a squaw, So, catch me back there if you can in the S t a t e of Arkansas.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation

    Merlin toolkit migration to c programming language.

    No full text
    This paper is intended to describe the process of migrating the Merlin library from a „Python“ programming language to „C“. The aim of the project was to unify the used programming languages, to improve code readability and also simplify project structure. During the investigation it was noticed that the best way to migrate a project to another programming language is manually, since the current automated migration tools are not advanced. It was also observed that the Python language library „Theano“, which is used in the Merlin project, was impractical to migrate to the C programming language, due to the fact that the entire optimization process is not clearly visible in the code and will not take full advantage of the C language. End result was achieved, Merlin functionality works in C programming language and also the structure of the project has been simplified

    Merlin and Nimiane : the unifying force for the national unity of Britain at the waning of the Middle Ages as depicted by an anonymous author of the fifteenth-century "Prose Merlin"

    No full text
    The article analyses a special portrayal of the relationship between Merlin and Nimiane in the English fifteenth-century Prose Merlin. The power couple escapes from their previously distinct and usually dubious renditions to perform a new function that serves the nation-building of a reviving civilization. The political and religious inclinations of the anonymous author are visible in their almost impeccable conduct towards their sovereigns, God, and themselves. The article analyses the unique presentation of the two in the light of the political and social circumstances of the waning of the Middle Ages in Britain and contrasts them with a short analysis of other medieval portrayals of the couple
