"Objects Lost and Found: Kenneth Patchen's Poetics of the Letter"
No full textIn "Oggetti perduti e ritrovati: Kenneth Patchen e la poetica della lettera" gli aspetti storici e letterari di una poesia di Kenneth Patchen,"Poem in the form of a Letter: to Lauro de Bosis", sono esplorati analiticamente al fine di individuarne gli aspetti 'oggettivi' derivati dalla lezione di Zukofski che, negli anni trenta, iniziò a promuove l'oggettivismo in poesia, seguito da poeti come Ron Silliman, Bob Perelman e Rachel Blau DuPlessis ai nostri giorni.A poem by Kenneth Patchen "Poem in the form of a Letter: to Lauro de Bosis" is explored analytically by the author in order to discover its 'objective' aspects as derived from the lesson of Zukofsky who, in the thirties, set out to promote the "objectivism" in poetry, and was followed by poets like Ron Silliman, Bob Perelman and Rachel Blau DuPlessis, who are very active in today’s “objective” panorama
A relationship between Pseudomonal growth behaviour and cystic fibrosis patient lung function identified in a metabolomic investigation
No full textChronic polymicrobial lung infections in adult cystic fibrosis patients are typically dominated by high levels of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Determining the impact of P. aeruginosa growth on airway secretion composition is fundamental to understanding both the behaviour of this pathogen in vivo, and its relationship with other potential colonising species. We hypothesised that the marked differences in the phenotypes of clinical isolates would be reflected in the metabolite composition of spent culture media. 1H NMR spectroscopy was used to characterise the impact of P. aeruginosa growth on a synthetic medium as part of an in vitro CF lower airways model system. Comparisons of 15 CF clinical isolates were made and four distinct metabolomic clusters identified. Highly significant relationships between P. aeruginosa isolate cluster membership and both patient lung function (FEV1) and spent culture pH were identified. This link between clinical isolate growth behaviour and FEV1 indicates characterisation of P. aeruginosa growth may find application in predicting patient lung function while the significant divergence in metabolite production and consumption observed between CF clinical isolates suggests dominant isolate characteristics have the potential to play both a selective role in microbiota composition and influence pseudomonal behaviour in vivo

OOP & HPCProgramming Fundamentals - A Modular Structured Approach using C++ is written by Kenneth Leroy Busbee, a faculty member at Houston Community College in Houston, Texas. The materials used in this textbook/collection were developed by the author and others as independent modules for publication within the Connexions environment. Programming fundamentals are often divided into three college courses: Modular/Structured, Object Oriented and Data Structures. This textbook/collection covers the first of those three courses
An Approximate Consumption Function
No full textThis paper proposes an approximation to the consumption function in the buffer-stock model. The approximation is based on the analytic properties of the consumption function in the buffer-stock model. In such model, the consumption function is increasing and concave and its derivative is bounded from above and below. We compare the approximation with the consumption function obtained using the endogenous grid point algorithm and show that using the former or the latter for estimating the Euler equation leads to very similar results.Buffer stock model of saving; Computational methods; Approximation methods and estimation

Best practices in serials management: a Kenneth Dike Library model
No full textSerials are described as a group of important information resources which contain primary cutting edge information, especially in an academic library like the Kenneth Dike Library, University of Ibadan, Nigeria. The various processes involved in the effective management of serials are highlighted in this paper. Automation of serials collection and electronic serials were discussed; serials workflow diagrams representing manual and automated serials management systems were also developed by the author
Deoxybuzonamine Isomers from the Millipede Brachycybe lecontii (Platydesmida: Andrognathidae)
No full textMillipedes (Diplopoda) are well known for their toxic or repellent defensive secretions. Here, we describe (6aR,10aS,10bR)-8,8-dimethyldodecahydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline [trans-anti-trans-deoxybuzonamine (1a)] and (rel-6aR,10aR,10bR)-8,8-dimethyldodecahydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline [trans-syn-cis-deoxybuzonamine (1b)], two isomers of deoxybuzonamine found in the chemical defense secretions of the millipede Brachycybe lecontii Wood (Colobognatha, Platydesmida, Andrognathidae). The carbon–nitrogen skeleton of these compounds was determined from their MS and GC-FTIR spectra obtained from the MeOH extract of whole millipedes, along with a subsequent selective synthesis. Their structures were established from their 1D (¹H, ¹³C) and 2D NMR (COSY, NOESY, multiplicity-edited HSQC, HSQC-TOCSY, HMBC) spectra. Additionally, computational chemistry (DFT and DP4) was used to identify the relative configurations of 1a and 1b by comparing predicted ¹³C data to their experimental values, and the absolute configuration of 1a was determined by comparing its experimental specific rotation with that of the computationally calculated value. This is the first report of dodecahydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline alkaloids from a platydesmidan millipede

Although there is a large body of work that deals with the experience of Civil War soldiers, there are relatively few male gender studies of the war. This project seeks to examine the relationship of masculinity and the Confederate soldier in the American Civil War.\ud
This project seeks to shed light upon ideas of 19th century masculinity and how it was invoked, shaped and ultimately changed by the Civil War. Masculine roles were changing in the 19th century; the southern ideal of manhood was beginning to become obsolete in the face of the new Self-Made Man of the Market Revolution. In order to protect their homes and preserve their manliness, Southern men embarked on the bloody affair known as the American Civil War. Historians that I consulted to help introduce and explain 19th century masculinity include Michael Kimmel, E. Anthony Rotundo, Craig Thompson Friend and Lorri Glover.\ud

Courage and religion are interwoven with 19th century notions of manhood and the manly soldier and must be examined. Confederate soldiers in the Civil War initially believed that the courageous soldier who never flinched in the face of enemy fire would not be killed. They also comparatively believed that the soldier who had an unyielding faith in God would be protected. These ideas were dramatically molded by the experience of soldiering. The popular ideal of what made a courageous soldier was quickly modified to suit realistic purposes. Faith in religion was used to explain the unexplainable in battle and camp, and generally became stronger during the war. Historians I consulted for information concerning courage and religion include but are not limited to Bell Irvin Wiley, Gerald Linderman, and James M. McPherson.\ud
This project additionally seeks to intimately shed light on the war experience by closely examining the lives of several Confederate soldiers who lived and died during the war. The letters that these men wrote home during their service have been meticulously researched specifically seeking to examine how they dealt with masculinity, courage and religion during their war experience. The published letters of Joshua K. Callaway, James M. Williams, Edwin H. Fay and William Dorsey Pender were examined. The unpublished letters of Walter Lenoir were examined as well.CSU, Chic
