Organic Gardening and Possibilities for its Implementation at Smith College: An Exercise on the Sustainable Use of Limited Resources
No full textThe focus of this paper lies in the comparison of conventional agriculture methods versus those of sustainable alternative or organic farming, in terms of their impacts on the environment and the sustainable use of limited resources. By looking at the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainable agriculture in comparison to conventional practices, there is an emphasis on approaches that Smith College students could take to further educate themselves on this topic. Specifically, I have investigated possibilities for the implementation of an organically grown student-run garden at Smith College, and the benefits that it would produce for Smith College from a systems level perspective. This paper encourages Smith College students to become involved in what the Five-College Consortium has to offer in terms of educational opportunities geared towards the merits of sustainable alternatives to mainstream, conventional agricultural. The detrimental consequences of conventional agriculture are pervasive and widespread, and this is important for students to understand. Finally, the author urges for the eventual involvement of Smith College students in an alternative methods, student-run community garden on the Smith College campus or in the nearby vicinity

Chinese Classics: The Commentarial Tradition
No full textChapter Abstract:
Reading texts from the Chinese and Japanese canons, Knight and Smith engage the subtle interplay of classic texts and commentaries, ancient and modern. They find that no classic text is a stand-alone: each inner text has traditionally been read as a dialogue between originating author(s) and authoritative later readers. When we approach these texts, then, we find ourselves part of an explicit, venerable conversation. Knight and Smith focus on five examples: the Sunzi (Sun Tzu) Art of War, the Japanese Zen Master Ikkyū, the great Tang dynasty poet Li Bo (Li Po), the ancient divination text the Yijing (I Ching) or Classic of Change, and the perplexing philosopher Laozi (Lao Tzu), originator of Daoism (Taoism). Reading these texts is like marrying into a very large family, one whose members, allusions, rewritings, irregular knowing and jokes we may appreciate or tolerate to different degrees. No way to control this process!
Book Abstract:
This Is a Classic illuminates the overlooked networks that contribute to the making of literary classics through the voices of multiple translators, without whom writers would have a difficult time reaching a global audience. It presents the work of some of today\u27s most accomplished literary translators who translate classics into English or who work closely with translation in the US context and magnifies translators\u27 knowledge, skills, creativity, and relationships with the literary texts they translate, the authors whose works they translate, and the translations they make. The volume presents translators\u27 expertise and insight on how classics get defined according to language pairs and contexts. It advocates for careful attention to the role of translation and translators in reading choices and practices, especially regarding literary classics.https://scholarworks.smith.edu/clt_books/1004/thumbnail.jp

Developmental Alterations in the Distribution of Specific Lateral Wall Proteins Modify Outer Hair Cell Mechanical Properties
No full textIn the mammalian cochlea, specialized outer hair cells (OHCs) housed within the organ of Corti exhibit nonlinear, mechanical responses to auditory stimulation [1]. These electromotile responses increase hearing sensitivity 100-fold (40 dB) and are responsible for frequency selectivity in the mammalian cochlea. OHC electromotile length change and force generation are essential for a sensitive and sharply-tuned cochlea. OHC stiffness is in turn important for effective transmission of force from OHCs to other cells in the organ of Corti. Maturation of stiffness in OHCs during development may therefore be an important factor in the onset and maturation of electromotility and hearing in mammals. The mechanical properties of developing and adult gerbil OHCs were compared using calibrated glass fibers. OHC compliance increased immediately before the onset of hearing. By the onset of hearing OHC compliance dramatically decreased.|Cochlear OHCs have a specialized lateral wall consisting of a plasma membrane, in which the motor protein prestin is densely packed, an actin-spectrin cortical lattice and subsurface cisternae. Developmental alterations in protein distribution and localization of each of these structures were correlated with alterations in OHC compliance to assess their potential to influence OHC mechanics before and after the onset of hearing. A reduction in lateral F-actin content was highly correlated with an increase in OHC compliance immediately before the onset of hearing. A large increase in prestin distribution at the onset of hearing was highly correlated with a decrease in compliance. These results suggest that F-actin and prestin modulate the passive mechanical properties of cochlear OHCs before and after the onset of hearing, respectively. Furthermore, these dramatic alterations in OHC mechanics clearly indicate that the mammalian OHC must acquire specific mechanical properties in concert with electromotility to generate a sharply tuned cochlea.vi, 101 pagesvi, 101 p
