A Critical Edition of Donne's "The Indifferent," "Love's Usury," "The Will," "The Funerall," "The Primerose," and "The Dampe" and a Digital Edition of "To his Mistress Going to Bed"
No full textThis dissertation presents an edition of six poems from John Donne���s Songs and Sonets������The Indifferent,��� ���Love���s Usury,��� ���The Will,��� ���The Funerall,��� ���The Primerose,��� and ���The Dampe������and a digital edition of one additional poem, ���To His Mistress Going to Bed.��� Using the methodologies of The Variorum Edition of the Poems of John Donne, I have also adopted the edition���s principal goal���to recover and present Donne���s exact texts to the extent that this is possible. For each poem, I have selected a copy-text and emended it in accordance with the Variorum���s principles. A textual introduction for each poem explains how the copy-text was chosen and traces the circulation of the text in all seventeenth-century artifacts. I have also provided a textual apparatus for each poem, which, in addition to recording the texts collated, emendations to the copy-text, imperfections in the sources, and indentation patterns in the sources, also notes all verbal variants and variants of punctuation. Finally, I have created a stemma charting the transmissional history for each poem and giving a visual representation of how the textual artifacts relate to each other.
The other major component of my dissertation, a digital edition of ���To His Mistress Going to Bed,��� is meant to serve as a prototype for what might usefully be done with Donne���s poems in a digital medium. While the actual digital edition of this poem cannot be fully represented on paper, my chapter on this edition outlines the process I used to create it and describes its major features.

Neural network model develops border ownership representation through visually guided learning
Get PDFAbstractAs Rubin’s famous vase demonstrates, our visual perception tends to assign luminance contrast borders to one or other of the adjacent image regions. Experimental evidence for the neuronal coding of such border-ownership in the primate visual system has been reported in neurophysiology. We have investigated exactly how such neural circuits may develop through visually-guided learning. More specifically, we have investigated through computer simulation how top-down connections may play a fundamental role in the development of border ownership representations in the early cortical visual layers V1/V2. Our model consists of a hierarchy of competitive neuronal layers, with both bottom-up and top-down synaptic connections between successive layers, and the synaptic connections are self-organised by a biologically plausible, temporal trace learning rule during training on differently shaped visual objects. The simulations reported in this paper have demonstrated that top-down connections may help to guide competitive learning in lower layers, thus driving the formation of lower level (border ownership) visual representations in V1/V2 that are modulated by higher level (object boundary element) representations in V4. Lastly we investigate the limitations of our model in the more general situation where multiple objects are presented to the network simultaneously

We studied the feasibility and safety of three different NMC methodsPatients and MethodsWe enrolled healthy newborns in a controlled trial of the Mogen, Gomco, and Plastibell devices. Doctors, nurses, and clinical officers were trained to perform Mogen, Gomco, and Plastibell techniques. Each provider performed at least 10 circumcisions using each device. Neonates were reviewed at one week and six weeks post circumcision for adverse events.ResultsBetween October 2009 and March 2011, 17 providers (5 physicians, 9 nurse-midwives, and 3 clinical officers) without prior NMC experience were trained, and 640 circumcisions performed. The median infant birth weight was 3.2kg (IQR 2.9\u20133.5 kg) and median age at the time of procedure was 11 days (IQR:7\u201318 days); 149 babies (23.3%) were HIV-exposed. The overall adverse event rate was 4.9% (n=31/630), and the moderate-severe AE rate was 4.1% (n=26/630). Write in what this was. Rates did not significantly differ by method. Most providers (65%) preferred the Mogen clamp over the Gomco and Plastibell.ConclusionsDoctors, nurses, and clinical officers can be trained to safely provide NMC in a programmatic setting. The three studied techniques had comparable safety profiles. Mogen clamp was the preferred device for most providers.20132015-04-24T00:00:00ZD43 TW001035/TW/FIC NIH HHS/United StatesU2G PS002793/PS/NCHHSTP CDC HHS/United State
Stopping New Yorkers\u27 Stalkers: An Anti-Stalking Law For the Millennium
Get PDFThis essay concerns itself with some of the legislative responses to stalking in New York and examines some of the specific anti-stalking provisions of the Clinic Access and Anti-Stalking Act of 1999, recently signed by New York Governor George Pataki. The author interviews Senator Michael A.L. Balboni, Assemblyman Scott Stringer, and the Assemblyman\u27s former Legislative Director Rob Hack, who were all heavily involved in getting the legislation passed, offering a unique perspective
