'Pilings of Thought Under Spoken': The Poetry of Susan Howe, 1974-1993.
No full textPhDThis thesis discusses the poetry published by contemporary American poet Susan
Howe over a period of almost two decades. The dissertation is chiefly concerned with
articulating the relationship between poetic form, history, and authority in this body
of' work. Howe's poetry dredges the past for the linguistic effects of patriarchy,
colonialism and war. My reading of the work is an exploration of the ways in which a
disjunctive poetics can address such historical trauma. The poems, rather than
attempting to reinstate voices lifted from what Howe has called "the dark side of
history", are a means of reflecting the resistance that the past offers to contemporary
investigation. It is the effacement, and not the recovery, of history's victims, that is
discernible in the contours of these highly opaque texts. Notions of authority are most
often addressed in the poetry through the figure of paternal absence, which has a
threefold function in the work, serving to represent social authority, an aporetic
conception of divinity and an autobiographical narrative. Alongside the antiauthoritarian
currents in the writing - critiques, for example, of the doctrine of
Manifest Destiny or of scapegoating versions of femininity - my thesis stresses Howe's
engagement with negative theology and with a strain of American Protestant
enthusiasm that has its roots in 17th century New England. The dissertation explores
the dissonance caused by the co-existence in the poetry of elements of political dissent
and religious mysticism. Finally, I consider Howe's engagement with literary history
and authors such as Shakespeare, Swift, Thoreau and Melville. The manner in which
Howe deploys the words of others in her work, I argue, allows for a mixture of textual
polyphony and a more conventional notion of authorial 'voice'

Clarence-Richmond Coastal Area, NSW, 1996 (P643), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled
No full textMaintenance and Update Frequency: notPlannedStatement: This Clarence-Richmond Coastal Area, NSW, 1996 (P643), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled is an airborne-derived radiometric data for the Clarence-Richmond Coastal Area, NSW, 1996. The data was acquired under the project No. 643 for the geological survey of NSW. A total of 48370 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 200m and 1600m, and 80m terrain clearance were acquired during this survey. To constrain long wavelengths in the data, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey data (Milligan et al., 2009). This survey data is essentially levelled to AWAGS. Noise-adjusted singular value decomposition (NASVD) has been applied to the data. NASVD is a spectral component analysis procedure for the removal of noise from gamma-ray spectra. Details of the specifications of individual airborne surveys can be found in the Fourteenth Edition of the Index of Airborne Geophysical Surveys (Percival, 2014). This Index is also available online at http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/79134.

Spatial distribution of colel Ap plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid isolated from escherichia coli after chloramphenicol amplification, 1979
No full textAn examination of varied lysis conditions upon the release of freely sedimenting ColEl Ap molecules on neutral sucrose (CLOS) gradients revealed: (i) That 0.5 M NaCl used throughout the lysis procedure gave consistently better recovery than 1.0 M and 0.25 M NaCl; (ii) neither ribonuclease (RNase) nor pronase was markedly effective in releasing freely sedimenting ColEl Ap plasmid DNA above control values after chloramphenicol amplification of plasmid copy number. Plasmid DNA ob�tained from exponentially grown cultures in the presence and absence of chloramphenicol (Cm), isolated in the presence and absence of RNase, re�vealed a single monomeric species (32S) of ColEl Ap complexed with the rapidly sedimenting bacterial nucleoid (chromosome and membrane). Ex�periments designed to elucidate the intracellular localization of pulse labeled ColEl Ap after Cm exposure revealed a high level (42%) of membrane bound plasmid DNA. Membrane bound DMA was identified by cesium chloride sucrose double density equilibrium gradients. Further, RNase was found to release a significant fraction of pulsed plasmid DNA from the membrane associated region of cesium chloride (CsCl) sucrose gra�dients. At least two species of RNA are suggested to maintain the association of plasmid DNA to the chromosome membrane complex: One species being rifampicin and RNase sensitive and stabilizing the high�ly looped chromosomal configuration; and another species, rifampicin sensitive, associating monomeric forms of the amplified ColEl Ap to the folded bacterial nucleoid

A technique for the isolation of Plasmid Deoxyribonucleic acid from Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, 1977
No full textThe Cleared Lysate on Sucrose (CLOS) gradient has been used in these studies as a primary tool in the isolation of plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), both sex factor and resistance factor, from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A concentration of 1.0 M NaCl in the gradient was shown to keep the chromosome in the folded configuration. A concentration of 0.05 M NaCl in the gradient was shown to promote chromosomal unfolding.Ten micrograms of ribonuclease (RNase), layered on the gradient, did not affect chromosomal unfolding significantly. Plasmid peak areas from CLOS gradients, presumed to contain the sex factor or resistance factor, were pooled and subjected to Cesium Chloride-Ethidium Bromide gradient analysis. The analysis indicated that only a small percentage of the molecules band in the covalently closed circular (CCC) region of the gradient. The majority of the molecules band in the open circular (OC) and linear regions of the gradient. Contour length measurements of the linear molecules of the FP2 sex factor indicate that their molecular weight is close to the molecular weight of the plasmid, as reported in the literature
