Agathaumas Cope
No full textAgathaumas Cope — Professor Marsh (Amer. Journ. Sci. Arts, 1892, p. 83) endeavors to show that this genus differs from any of those described by him by quoting characters from my description of the type specimen. Since my last description of that genus was published (1875), I have studied part of a skeleton obtained by Dr. J. L. Wortman in Dakota, of which the parts are undistinguishable from those of the Agathaumas silvestre. These include an ilium in much better preservation than that of the type, and I am enabled to correct some of the statements contained in my original description. I stated that there is no facet for the pubis at the front of the acetabulum. The surface at this point is broken in both of my specimens, but it is altogether probable that the structure at this point does not differ from that of the allied forms. The ischiadic suture is in like manner obscured by injuries in the type specimen. The Dakota specimen is perfectly preserved at this point, and displays a large convex sutural surface for the ischium, thus showing that my original description was imperfect in this point. The number of sacral vertebrae in the original specimen is not exactly determinable—only approximately, but this region is identical in character with that of other members of the family. That the Agathaumas silvestre is one of the largest species of the family is indicated by the following measurements of the Dakota specimen: The centrum of the dorsal vertebra is slightly opisthocoelous.Published as part of E.

Laelaps Cope 1866
No full textLaelaps Cope. Proceed. Acad., Phila., 1866, p. 275. Extinct Batr. Rept. N. Amer., 1869, p. 100. Two species of this genus were described in the latter memoir above cited, the L. aquilunguis, Cope, and L. macropus, Cope, both from the greensand or Fox Hills group of the cretaceous of New Jersey . A considerable portion of the skeleton of the former was described, including the peculiarities of the ankle-joint, which led me to the conclusion, previously unsuspected by naturalists, that the Dinosauria present affinities to the cursorial birds. The teeth of this species were described and figured, but in the L. macropus they were, and still remain, unknown. In a preliminary report on the extinct Vertebrata obtained by the writer on the Upper Missouri the present year, three addititional species were referred to this genus, viz. the Laelaps incrassatus; L. explanatus, and L. falculus. Their characters were ascertained from teeth alone, so that their pertinence to the genus Laelaps is not fully assured. A fourth species of carnivorous dinosaurian was described under the name of Aublysodon lateralis. One of the most valuable specimens obtained hy my expedition of 1876, is the nearly entire left dentary bone of the Laelaps incrassatus, which exhibits the teeth of its two extremities. The different forms of the teeth of the carnivorous Dinosauria graduate into each other by such easy stages, as to have given rise to question in reference to their proper interpretation; whether they indicate different species or only different positions in the dental series. In describing the Aublysodon horridus, the first known of the species of the Judith River beds, Dr. Leidy expressed the suspicion that a certain form characterized the teeth in the position of incisors,another those in the position of canines. and another form the remainder of the series. The teeth of the last kind have the form of those of Laelaps; in others the posterior serrulate cutting edge is latero-posterior, the posterior aspect being thickened, and either transverse or convex in section. In the supposed canines the anterior scrrulate edge is wanting, or represented by a second posterior edge parallel with the original one, thus forming a compressed chair-shaped crown. Numerous specimens of all these forms were obtained by the expedition. Examination of the dental series of the Laelaps incrassatus shows that the antero-posterior diameter of one or two teeth in the position of canine, becomes oblique in the curved long axis of the dentary bone. The transverse diameter is also greatly increased so as to equal or even exceed the antero-posterior; the serrate edges are opposite to each other. A tooth of this type was the first of this species which I observed, and the name has reference to its peculiar form. A tooth in the position of first or anterior incisor, differs in having the anterior serrate crest removed to the middle of the inner aspect of the apical portion of the crown, while the posterior edge retains its usual position. Further posterior transfer of the anterior cutting edge and a grooving of the posterior face, would produce a tooth of the form suspected by Leidy to be the canine of Aublysodon horridus, while the canine just described is different from any tooth referred by Leidy to the same species. But a large tooth found in immediate association with the jaw, but separated from it, has the posteriorly truncate form described by Leidy as typical, and is very probably the tooth of the maxillary bone, near the position of the superior canine of a mammal. It may he observed in conclusion, that if the teeth suspected by Leidy to be canines of Aublysodon horridus, but which l suppose to be incisors, are really such, Aublysodon must he regarded as a genus distinct from Laelaps; while, on the other hand, should such determination prove to be inadmissible, and the two genera be the same, the name Laelaps must be preserved as the older; it was published in 1866, while Aublysodon bears date 1868. In examining the very numerous teeth discovered by the expedition, I find four species in addition to those already named. A list of all the species is now given.Published as part of Cope, E.

Laelaps laevifrons Cope, 1876, sp. nov.
No full textLaelaps laevifrons, sp. nov. A tooth half the size of those referred to the L. hazenianus, and exceeding by a little the largest of those of L. explanatus, presants such characters as induce me to believe that it belongs to a species distinct from either. It is of the elongate aeurninnte form of some of those referred to the L. incrassatus, and both sides are convex, but not equally so. A shallowly concave plane occupies the middle of the more convex side. The posterior cutting edge is denticulate to the base, but the anterior, though of the same form as in the other species, and unworn, is absolutely smooth. In this respect it differs from the other species, excepting L falculus. The denticulations are finer than those of any other species, measuring M..00020; in L. explanatus they measure M..00022.Published as part of Cope, E.

Criteria Of Certainty: Truth and Judgment in the English Enlightenment
No full textBritish writers of the Restoration and eighteenth century initiated a critique of human knowledge unrivaled in both its scope and its enthusiasm. Author Kevin L. Cope now attempts to provide a coherent, evocative account of explanatory rhetoric in early modern Britain.
Critics and historians, Cope argues, have done an admirable job of describing the details of the intellectual movements of this period but they have failed to examine the intellectual, social, and psychological implications of explanation itself. Criteria of Certainty makes up for this shortcoming by treating explanation as a composite literary and philosophical mode, as a kind of master genre governing the development of a variety of genres, from pithy maxims and lyric poems to lengthy treatises and epics of explanation.
Cope\u27s probing and inventive analyses of seven writers—Rochester, Halifax, Dryden, Locke, Swift, Pope, and Smith—shed new light on many major issues in both eighteenth-century studies and critical theory. Discussing the gradual enlargement of the claims of explanatory discourse, Cope explores the problematic psychological relation between philosophizing authors and their expansionist, systematizing discourse.
By applying the methods of recent literary criticism to philosophical texts, Cope reexamines the possibility of a philosophical reading of literary texts, opens the possibility of characterizing an age, and sets a variety of genres on a common intellectual foundation. Drawing on both canonical and overlooked authors, he also shows how the writers of the Restoration and eighteenth century may help us to understand the immensity, vitality, and irresistibility of explanatory rhetoric in our own age.

Laelaps falculus Cope, 1876, sp. nov.
No full textLaelaps falculus, sp. nov. Represented by several teeth of about half the size of those of the last described reptile. They differ in form in several respects, being relatively shorter and stouter, and less sectorial in character. The lateral surfaces are about equally convex, while the aniterior face is narrowly obtuse, and without cutting edge. The posterior edge is concave and furnished with a seriation of smnaller denticles than in the L. explanatus; it is median in position. Found by Jno. C. Isaac.Published as part of Cope, E.

Champsosaurus annectens Cope ED 1876, sp. nov
No full textChamposaurus annectens, Cope, sp. nov. The greater number of vertebrae obtained belong to this saurian, which may therefore be looked upon as the type of the genus. The cervical which bears the hypapophysial facet presents a carina below, which is only prominent between the articular faces. One such cervical in the collection is rounded below, aud may be anterior in the series, or may belong to another species. The inferior keel is strong on the other cervicais, hut soon disappears on the anterior dorsals. The remaining centra are rounded below . The parapophyses where present are knob-like, aud the corresponding part of the transverse process is similar in the anterior dorsal vertebrae. The base of the neural arch is nearer the anterior than the posterior articular face. These faces are nearly round in the anterior caudal central, but soon become vertical ovals, with the compressed form. There is a fossa below and in front of the parapophysis, which continues to beyond the anterior dorsals. The dense layer of the surface of the centrum is smooth, except some delicate striations near the articular borders. These are most marked along the median interior face of the caudal vertebrae, which is flat, grooved, and distally acute. I cannot certainly connect the vertebrae of a series as those of a single individual. [table omitted] [table omitted] A vertebra not distinguishable from the corresponding one of this species was found near Amell's Creek, on a bank of deposit of the Fox Hills group (No. 5), with the bones of the Uronautes cetiformis, supra. l cannot account for this circumstances, as it is the most abundant fossil of the Judith River beds (No. 6).Published as part of Cope, E.

How do paramedics cope? A scoping review
No full textExposure to repeated trauma is an inherent component of paramedicine. Additionally, paramedics are exposed to threats that can undermine healthy workplaces, social connectedness, and health behaviour, predisposing them to overwhelming distress and unhealthy coping, including suicidality and psychiatric disorders. This scoping review aimed to identify how paramedics cope. PubMed, PsycINFO and CINAHL were searched between January 1, 2010, to April 21, 2021. Studies were included if they used any research design to identify specific coping strategies used by paramedics. Three studies met the inclusion criteria—two qualitative and one cross-sectional survey design. There was a high risk of bias across all studies. Studies were conducted in Israel, Poland, and the UK, primarily with males. Two studies only identified healthy coping strategies—self-soothing and social and professional support. Unhealthy strategies identified in the third study were limited to negative self-talk and alcohol use, with no mention of other harmful behaviours, social withdrawal, or suicidality. There is limited research describing how paramedics cope, and in particular, how female paramedics cope. Further research exploring the breadth of coping strategies used by paramedics is needed to understand the impact of the work paramedics undertake on coping and inform prevention and support activities.No Full Tex
