Dowling-Degos Disease: Case Report and Review of the Literature
No full textDowling-Degos disease (DDD) is an unusual pigmentary disorder usually caused by mutations in keratin 5. A 44-year-old woman in good general health presented due to the recent appearance of numerous pigmented macules on her axillary and anogenital skin. A biopsy showed lacy, finger-like epidermal extensions into the dermis which were heavily pigmented and associated with tiny cysts or dilated follicles. We view DDD as part of a spectrum of disorders which are morphologically related but vary in location and time of expression. In addition, both the clinical and histological differential diagnostic considerations are extensive. Copyright (C) 2010 S. Karger AG, Base

Treemap Versus BPA (Again): A Response to Dowling
No full textTreeMap is a computer program for analysing host-parasite cospeciation. We respond to Dowling’s (Cladistics, 18: 416-435) recent comparison of TreeMap and Brooks Parsimony Analysis (BPA) by showing that Dowling’s comparison suffers from several mistakes and flaws. We discuss the problems with both BPA and TreeMap, and show that BPA incorrectly counts the true number coevolutionary events more often than TreeMap 1. We also discuss the two main limitations of TreeMap 1 correctly identified by Dowling, namely its inability to handle widespread parasites, and its coarse optimality criterion (the number of cospeciation events). We suggest a simple fix for widespread parasites. The newly released TreeMap 2 uses a more sensitive optimality criterion than TreeMap 1, addressing Dowling’s second concern
A note on representing dowling geometries by partitions
No full textsummary:We prove that a rank Dowling geometry of a group is partition representable if and only if is a Frobenius complement. This implies that Dowling group geometries are secret-sharing if and only if they are multilinearly representable
The Lament for Italy: Byron, Dante and A. D. Hope
No full textThis paper will examine the tradition of the “lament for Italy” poem, as inaugurated by Dante in Purgatorio VI. Byron sees two of Italy’s greatest poets, Dante and Tasso, as both bewailing the fetters imposed on the land and, perhaps with less conviction, anticipating a future release from them. The paper will study in particular the growing importance of the figure of Dante for Byron. Echoes of Il Purgatorio can be heard in the Don Juan Cantos written in Ravenna; Byron may have felt the influence of Shelley (who also translated Dante and experimented with terza rima), and have been affected by Shelley’s own belief in the catalytic effect of the act of translation. The paper will conclude by examining a poem by the Australian poet, A. D. Hope, “A Letter from Rome” (1958). Hope embeds quotations from Dante’s lament for Italy in the poem, while also engaging with his romantic predecessor in his visit to Rome. Paradoxically, although confronting Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, Hope uses the form of ottava rima, defining it “just the thing” for “easy-going verse”. In fact, his poem grows increasingly serious, a tonal shift he sees as also characterizing Childe Harold. Adopting the forms of Italian poetry, just as Byron did in his own works, Hope manages to confer a sense of universality on his work; he shows how the lament for Italy remains as pertinent a form as ever, paying homage to two great poets who managed to turn their own pains and troubles into works that “spoke for Europe”
Business at the margins? Business interests in edge urban politics
No full textThe issue of the organization, role and influence of business interests in urban politics at the edge of major cities is one that is overdue for investigation. This article provides an initial and empirically oriented investigation of the organization, role and influence of business interests in edge urban politics in Europe. We present findings from five members of a European network of self-styled 'edge cities'. Following the now extensive debate in academic literature regarding the applicability of US concepts such as growth machines and urban regimes to the European setting, we draw attention to a diversity of business involvement in urban politics at the edge of Europe's capital cities. This diversity does include instances that, despite the very different 'macro-necessities' structuring edge urban politics in Europe, approximate to these concepts. Moreover, the diversity apparent in edge urban business politics raises several important questions for future research on urban governance. Namely, the complex connection between the local dependence of business and the organization of its interests; the 'jumping of scales' by locally dependent edge urban actors, and the sometimes neglected articulation of business interests with party political organization
