    Alan Storey : Drawing Machines

    No full text
    Bédard’s analysis of seven “drawing machines” by Storey (created during a 15-year period) focuses on the technical and mechanical processes used by the artist, as well as the relationships between machines and exhibition sites. The author also reflects on how the caustic function of the kinetic sculptures relates to perception. Includes excerpts from Storey’s notebooks. Text in French and English. Biographical notes. 15 bibl. ref

    Exploiting sequence variations in C. annuum for integrative mapping /by Dylan Bobby Storey.

    Pepper is an economically important crop whose agronomically important phenotypes have been characterized primarily through the use of genetic linkage maps and Quantitavie Trait Loci (QTL) analysis. With the large number of linkage maps available, many reporting QTLs for multiple phenotypes, aggregation of data is an important, but difficult task. In order to aggregate all maps, the development and placement of homologous loci shared between multiple maps is required. This study aims to convert the RFLP markers, whose use has been historically challenging, into markers whose use is technically trivial in order to facilitate integration. Also presented are computational tools to aid in the development of polymorphic markers and the mathematical integration of genetic linkage maps

    Post-war British working-class fiction with special reference to the novels of John Braine, Alan Sillitoe, Stan Barstow, David Storey and Barry Hines

    No full text
    This study is about British working-class fiction in the post-war period. It covers various authors such as Robert Tressell, George Orwell, Walter Greenwood, Lewis Grassic Gibbon and DH Lawrence from the early twentieth century; writers traditionally classified as 'Angry Young Men' like John Osborne, Arnold Wesker, Shelagh Delaney, John Wain and Kingsley Amis; and working-class novelists like John Braine, Stan Barstow, David Storey, Alan Sillitoe and Barry Hines from the 1950s and 1960s. Some of the main issues dealt with in the course of this study are language, form, community, self/identity/autobiography, sexuality and relationship with bourgeois art. The major argument centres on two questions: representation of working-class life, and the relationship between working-class literary tradition and dominant ideologies. We will be arguing that while working-class fiction succeeded in challenging and rupturing bourgeois literary tradition, on the level of language and linguistic medium of expression for example, it utterly failed to break away from dominant, bourgeois modes of literary production in relation to form, for instance. Our argument is situated within Marxist approaches to literature, a political and aesthetic position from which we attempt an analysis and an evaluation of this working-class literary tradition. These critical approaches provide us also with the theoretical tool to define the political perspective of this tradition, and to judge whether it was confined to a descriptive mode of representation or located in a radical, political outlook

    These sporting lives: David Storey, Barry Hines, and the case of the author-athlete

    No full text
    This article introduces the concept of the ‘author-athlete’ as a mechanism for examining the sporting narratives produced by authors who have experienced high level sport. This concept is examined through the careers of David Storey and Barry Hines, two authors from Yorkshire who were prominent in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and who turned to writing after careers in Rugby League and football respectively. The article draws on archival material alongside analyses of both writers’ sporting narratives to identify common features and to reflect on the particular qualities of sporting narratives produced by ex-athletes. In the case of Hines and Storey, it is argued that the concept of the author-athlete enables an understanding to emerge of the ways in which essentialist narratives of Northern sporting heroism and masculinity can be challenged

    At limits of life: multidisciplinary insights reveal environmental constraints on biotic diversity in continental Antarctica

    Data source: Supporting information, http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0044578#s5Multitrophic communities that maintain the functionality of the extreme Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems, while the simplest of any natural community, are still challenging our knowledge about the limits to life on earth. In this study, we describe and interpret the linkage between the diversity of different trophic level communities to the geological morphology and soil geochemistry in the remote Transantarctic Mountains (Darwin Mountains, 80uS). We examined the distribution and diversity of biota (bacteria, cyanobacteria, lichens, algae, invertebrates) with respect to elevation, age of glacial drift sheets, and soil physicochemistry. Results showed an abiotic spatial gradient with respect to the diversity of the organisms across different trophic levels. More complex communities, in terms of trophic level diversity, were related to the weakly developed younger drifts (Hatherton and Britannia) with higher soil C/N ratio and lower total soluble salts content (thus lower conductivity). Our results indicate that an increase of ion concentration from younger to older drift regions drives a succession of complex to more simple communities, in terms of number of trophic levels and diversity within each group of organisms analysed. This study revealed that integrating diversity across multi-trophic levels of biotic communities with abiotic spatial heterogeneity and geological history is fundamental to understand environmental constraints influencing biological distribution in Antarctic soil ecosystems.Catarina Magalhães, Mark I.

    Optimization of Stiffness and Damping for Multi-storey Structures

    No full text
    AbstractEfficiency of structural control for dynamic systems is highly dependent on the frequency contents of the excitation and structural frequency. For a given excitation, structural response control can be achieved by optimizing the stiffness and damping of the structure. The structural storey stiffness can be reduced using negative stiffness devices, while damping can be increased by using viscous dampers. A five-storey structure is considered in which stiffness and damping for every storey is optimized for minimum response. It is seen that for the response control, in some cases, storey stiffness is optimized for lesser value than the original storey stiffness. The results indicate that considerable structural control can be achieved for initially soft structures, whereas for very stiff structures, the optimization technique is ineffective
