Early Risk, Attention, and Brain Activation in Adolescents Born Preterm
No full textThe relations among early cumulative medical risk, cumulative environmental risk, attentional control, and brain activation were assessed in 15 – 16-year-old adolescents who were born preterm. Functional magnetic resonance imaging found frontal, temporal, and parietal cortex activation during an attention task with greater activation of the left superior-temporal and left supramarginal gyri associated with better performance. Individual differences in early cumulative risk are related to patterns of brain activation such that medical risk is related to left parietal cortex activation and environmental risk is related to temporal lobe activation. The findings suggest that early risk is related to less mature patterns of brain activation, including reduced efficiency of processing and responding to stimuli.This is the accepted version of the following article: Carmody, D.

Italo-Scottish dialogues: archival journeys through the Demarco Archives.
No full textSince the 1960s, the artist, cultural entrepreneur and educator Richard Demarco has been a notable champion of European visual and performing arts in Scotland. Inspired by his own ancestry, he has cultivated a cultural dialogue between Italy and Scotland, originally through the Richard Demarco Gallery (1966-1992) and latterly at the Demarco European Foundation. He has initiated and developed fruitful cultural exchanges and relationships between the two countries, by virtue of which he has promoted contemporary Italian art in Scotland and Scottish art in Italy, in the European spirit. Up until very recently, this aspect of Demarco's activity has been marginalised in the scholarly literature and in exhibitions. This presentation will provide an overview of Demarco's Italian connections, and analyse and reassess the impact of some key Italo-Scottish exhibitions and exchanges, through the documents preserved at the National Gallery of Modern Art Archives in Edinburgh and the Demarco European Foundation. Case studies will include: the exhibition "Contemporary Italian Art", organised by the RDG in collaboration with the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome in 1967, curated by the renowned Palma Bucarelli; and exhibitions in Edinburgh, Malta and Venice, organised in collaboration with the historic Galleria del Cavallino (Venice), which showcased Italian and Yugoslav art in Scotland and Scottish art in the North of Italy. This presentation will be based on findings from the AHRC-funded research project "Richard Demarco - The Italian Connection" (DJCAD, University of Dundee, 2018-2021), of which the author was co-investigator

Thermal-Analysis of Thione Compounds. 1. The Thermal-Behavior of Thiourea and N-Methylthioureas
No full textAbstract: The thermal behavior of thiourea (Tu), N-methylthiourea (MeTu), N, N'-dimethylthiourea (Me2Tu) and N, N, N', N'-tetramethylthiourea (Me4Tu) was investigated by means of conventional thermal analysis in O2 and N2 and IR spectroscopy of the residues on heating in air at various temperatures.
At ordinary pressure, the compounds are thermally stable up to the melting points. After melting, they show high vapor pressure, combustion in O2 atmosphere and isomerization to ammonium thiocyanate, with the exception of Me4Tu

Dynamics on : preperiodic points and pairwise stability
No full textIn [DKY], it was conjectured that there is a uniform bound , depending
only on the degree , so that any pair of holomorphic maps with degree will either share all of their
preperiodic points or have at most in common. Here we show that this
uniform bound holds for a Zariski open and dense set in the space of all pairs,
, for each degree . The proof
involves a combination of arithmetic intersection theory and complex-dynamical
results, especially as developed recently by Gauthier-Vigny, Yuan-Zhang, and
Mavraki-Schmidt. In addition, we present alternate proofs of recent results of
DeMarco-Krieger-Ye and of Poineau. In fact we prove a generalization of a
conjecture of Bogomolov-Fu-Tschinkel in a mixed setting of dynamical systems
and elliptic curves.Comment: minor edit
Triangles in Random Graphs
No full textWe prove four separate results. These results will appear or have appeared in various papers (see [10], [11], [12], [13]). For a gentler introduction to these results, the reader is directed to the first chapter of this thesis. Let G = Gn,p. With ξk = ξ n,p k the number of copies of Kk in G, p ≥ n−2/(k−1) and η> 0, we show when k> 1 Pr(ξk> (1 + η)Eξk) < exp −Ωη,kmin{n2pk−1 log(1/p), nkp
