Translations of the Self: A.E. Housman and Anne Carson, Between Scholarship and Creativity
No full textIn my PhD thesis I have explored some aspects of the interface between classical scholarship and creativity, through the work and careers of two scholar-poets, Anne Carson (1950 - ) and A.E. Housman (1859-1936). I have shown how, within their social and cultural contexts, they attempted to craft their careers by using both genres of their work to help them construct carefully-crafted public profiles, and how these self-translations within their careers relate to received versions of their work by different readerships. By connecting explorations of their social and cultural contexts with their biographies and with close readings of their scholarly and creative work, I explore the shifting relationship between creative and scholarly ‘cultural fields’, as well as the recent social, cultural, and institutional changes which have turned these fields from ‘homogeneous poles’ to ‘heterogeneous poles’ (to use Pierre Bourdieu’s terms). I examine the surprising similarities in the unusual personalities of Carson and Housman, who both have, or had, a tendency to use their reputations for independence and reclusiveness to help them navigate around important issues and conflicts which could have threatened their success. I show how they have constructed versions of themselves, both within and beyond their writings, which have enabled them to make grand assertions of the self in the teeth of social and cultural necessities
Carson v. Here\u27s Johnny Portable Toilets, Inc.: Plumbing the Depths of the Right of Publicity
No full textThe scope and definition of the right of publicity is currently in a state of confusion, and courts continue to interpret the right in a variety of ways. This note asserts that given too broad an interpretation, the right of publicity may impair first amendment freedoms. The author discusses the early cases developing the right of publicity and then examines the recent expansion of this right by the court in Carson v. Here\u27s Johnny Portable Toilets, Inc. Distinguishing Carson from the earlier cases, the author argues that this broad expansion of the right of publicity is both unwarranted and undesirable. Advocating the need for a method of analysis, the author suggests that the right of publicity be analyzed under principles similar to those established in copyright law in order to foster consistent application of the law and to ensure protection of first amendment freedoms

A theoretical study of population II Cepheids with periods in the range 10-20 days
No full textA theoretical study of population II variables with
periods in the range 10 - 20 days (W Virginis variables) is
presented. A modified hydrodynamic Christy code is used in
conjunction with the Carson opacities, in preference to the Los
Alamos tables, following the work of Carson, Stothers and
Vemury on the shorter period BL Herculis variables.
Twenty-five survey models are presented, along with nine other
comparison models of varying masses and opacities.
A study of the observations shows that the division of
these variables into two types by observers might be explained
by a slightly different mass for each type, thus making the
division dependent on the star's previous evolution.
The non-linear results obtained by this study show that a
mass of 0.6 M☉ is a good one to use, and that M = 0.5 M☉ makes
little difference (although M = 0.8 M☉ seems to be too high).
The results in general compare well with the observations, as
both also show the split into two types of light curve. Three good models of individual stars are presented, on a par with the models of BL Herculis published by Carson, Stothers and
Vemury. The bumps in the light and velocity curves of many of
the models seem to be real, caused by the Christy "echo".
A few of the models show some RV Tauri behaviour. One in
particular shows very strange behaviour, involving a violent
81ternation of light curve shapes. Models constructed using
the Los Alamos opacities do not produce results as consistent
with observations as those of the main survey.
The study shows that these stars can be represented by
hydrodynamic models of mass 0.6 M☉ using the Carson opacities, but also that convection may be important in the cooler stars in order to model them accurately. This indicates the
direction in which further theoretical work may lie

Mass media interventions for preventing smoking in young people
No full textBackground - The mass media have been used as a way of delivering preventive health messages. They have the potential to reach and to modify the knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of a large proportion of the community.
Objectives - To evaluate the effectiveness of mass media interventions to prevent smoking in young people in terms of reduced smoking uptake, in addition to secondary outcomes including improved smoking outcomes, attitudes, behaviours, knowledge, self-efficacy and perception.
Search methods - We searched the Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group Specialised Register and conducted additional searches of MEDLINE and EMBASE in July 2010.
Selection criteria - Randomized trials, controlled trialswithout randomization and time series studies that assessed the effectiveness ofmassmedia campaigns (defined as channels of communication such as television, radio, newspapers, bill boards, posters, leaflets or booklets intended to reach large numbers of people and which are not dependent on person to person contact) in influencing the smoking behaviour (either objective or self-reported) of young people under the age of 25 years.
Data collection and analysis - Information relating to the characteristics and the content of media interventions, participants, outcomes, methods of the study and risk of bias was abstracted by two independent reviewers. Studies were combined using qualitative narrative synthesis.
Main results - Seven out of a total of 84 studies reporting information about mass media smoking campaigns met all of the inclusion criteria. All seven studies used a controlled trial design. Three studies concluded that mass media reduced the smoking behaviour of young people. All of the effective campaigns had a solid theoretical basis, used formative research in designing the campaign messages, and message broadcast was of reasonable intensity over extensive periods of time.
Authors’ conclusions - There is some evidence that mass media can prevent the uptake of smoking in young people, however the evidence is not strong and contains a number of methodological flaws.Malcolm P Brinn, Kristin V Carson, Adrian J Esterman, Anne B Chang, Brian J Smit
