From Pedrolino to a Pierrot: The Origin, Ancestry and Ambivalence of the British Pierrot Troupe
No full textIn this article, the author considers the British development of the seaside Pierrot troupe, arguing that its construction is consistent with the notion of invented tradition, and the associated concerns with identity and nationality. Tracing the history of the character from its origins as Pedrolino in the commedia dell’arte, the article considers the traditional and novel elements of the British form. This also allows a brief account of the origin and aesthetics of the British tradition. Reflecting on the synthesis of the archaic and contemporary dimensions of the form, the author proposes that the new structure constructed an ambivalent class of character. The composition of both troupes and audiences was drawn from across the range of social strata. Through its collectivity and its treatment of contemporary social themes, it is argued the British Pierrot troupe approached and negotiated questions of a cultural and national identity in the late-Victorian period.

Menander as a Source of Terence
No full textThe present work is an attempt to survey the ancient comedy of the classical stage, by a study of its most outstanding exponents, Aristophanes, Menander, and Terence. The author hopes that this thesis may be acceptable to some of those, who without being professed scholars, are yet interested in the ancient Greek and Roman authors, and their conception of the comic art.
Besides the plays of Aristophanes, Menander, and Terence, the works of Willard Smith, Philippe Legrande, and Alfred Croiset are among the more important sources consulted in the writing of this thesis

Polynomial birth-death approximation of pattern occurrences in an independent, identically distributed sequence
No full textDeposited with permission of the author. © 2003 Terence Jegaraj.The distribution of occurrences of a non–overlapping pattern in an independent,identically distributed sequence can be approximated well by some two–parameterpolynomial birth–death distributions, at least when the pattern probability is small.The total variation distance error can be shown to approach zero as the length ofthe sequence being considered increases
Applied time series analysis : a practical guide to modeling and forecasting /
No full textWritten for those who need an introduction, Applied Time Series Analysis reviews applications of the popular econometric analysis technique across disciplines. Carefully balancing accessibility with rigor, it spans economics, finance, economic history, climatology, meteorology, and public health. Terence Mills provides a practical, step-by-step approach that emphasizes core theories and results without becoming bogged down by excessive technical details. Including univariate and multivariate techniques, Applied Time Series Analysis provides data sets and program files that support a broad range of multidisciplinary applications, distinguishing this book from others.Includes bibliographical references and index.Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed January 30, 2019).Written for those who need an introduction, Applied Time Series Analysis reviews applications of the popular econometric analysis technique across disciplines.

Epigenetic methylation and its implication in cancer and neurodegeneration
No full textEpigenetics has become a fast-growing area of study in cellular biology. An epigenetic trait is defined as a stably inherited phenotype resulting from changes in a chromosome without alterations in the DNA sequence (1). These types of modifications are essential for normal cellular function, assisting in the activation or repression of necessary genes in various stages of development. There are instances, though, in which the modifications can be altered to induce irregular gene transcription. In these cases, the results can provoke various forms of disease. In mammals, epigenetic methylation has been found to play an important part in all forms of cancer, with two key areas of alteration. These are the specific methylation of sequences of DNA, as well as modifications on the histones surrounding DNA. Since the discovery of their involvement in the change of gene expression, histone modifications and DNA methylation have been implicated in diseases other than cancer, such as neurological disorders including schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease. One very important aspect of epigenetic methylation is its reversibility. This key property has created a promising field of epigenetic therapy, which has led to the development of several FDA approved drugs for cancer treatment. It has also generated several new and exciting ideas for future paths of treatment.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Terence J. Purdo
Gain Saturation and Pulse Solutions for a CO2-HE T.E.A. Laser
No full textTitle: Gain Saturation and Pulse Solutions for a CO2-HE T.E.A. Laser, Author: Terence Tricker, Location ThodeThe saturation behaviour of various gain models for the CO2-HE T.E.A. laser was investigated. The corresponding laser pulse shapes for an oscillating cavity were generated by computer and compared to experimentally observed output pulses. Good agreement is obtained for low gain using a simple two-level model but at high gain, vibrational coupling between levels must be included.ThesisMaster of Engineering (ME
