Dr. Daryl Cumber Dance – Faculty Author Interview
No full textDr. Daryl Cumber Dance, Professor of English Emerita, discusses her new book, In Search of Annie Drew: Jamaica Kincaid’s Mother and Muse, published recently by the University of Virginia Press. In this provocative new book, Daryl Dance argues that everything Jamaica Kincaid has written, regardless of its apparent theme, actually relates to Kincaid’s efforts to free herself from her mother, whether her subject is ostensibly other family members, her home nation, a precolonial world, or even Kincaid herself

The 10-week study period comprised a 2-week single-blind placebo run-in period followed by add-on treatment with AKL1 or placebo twice daily for 8 weeks. The primary study endpoint was the change from week 0 to week 8 in cough-related health status, as assessed by the LCQ.Results: Of 33 patients enrolled, 20 were randomized to AKL1 and 13 to placebo. Patients included 19 (58%) men and 14 (42%) women of mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of 67 (9.4) years; 15 (45%) patients were smokers and 16 (49%) were ex-smokers. The mean (SD) change from baseline in LCQ score at 8 weeks was 2.3 (4.9) in the AKL1 group and 0.6 (3.7) in the placebo group, with mean difference in change of 1.8 (95% confidence interval: –1.5 to 5.1; P=0.28). The St George's Respiratory Questionnaire score improved substantially in the AKL1 treatment group by a mean (SD) of –7.7 (11.7) versus worsening in the placebo group (+1.5 [9.3]), with mean difference in change of –9.2 (95% confidence interval: –19.0 to 0.6; P=0.064). There were no significant differences between treatment groups in change from baseline to week 8 in other patient-reported measures, lung function, or the 6-minute walk distance.Conclusion: Further study is needed with a larger patient population and over a longer duration to better assess the effects of add-on therapy with AKL1 in COPD.Keywords: Leicester Cough Questionnaire, anti-inflammatory, Picrorhiza kurroa, Ginkgo biloba, Zingiber officinal

Elk Population and the Habitat Assessment in Nelway Area of West Kootenay Region
No full textWildland RecreationThis report is based on a field study which was done on a particular herd of elk in the Nelway, British Columbia area by the author in the winter of 1981 and 82. The report mainly deals with estimations of the herd population and movements, however, some time is given to the question of how much competitive pressure is being put on local deer populations by these elk. The report includes recommendations for the management of elk populations after careful study of the contemporary situation and factors affecting it
Franz Grillparzer's Der Arme Spielmann: a search for value and meaning in the life of a true artist
No full textPublished in 1847, Der arme Spielmann is one of only two prose works of Austrian author and dramatist, Franz Grillparzer. It is a novelle of complex professional and psychological material in an early period of German/Austrian Realism which focuses on an unnamed narrator and a poor (arm) street minstrel/musician, the Spielmann/Jakob. My careful examination of Grillparzer’s novelle will show that although the Spielmann appears poor in several senses, he is actually rich, or blessed, in more important senses. He may be contrasted with the narrator, who appears much more successful and sophisticated, but clearly sees the fiddler’s spiritual superiority. Grillparzer projects his concerns about his own life and art into both the narrator, with whom he seems to compare his reality, and the Spielmann, who seems to have what Grillparzer might have wished for himself. He discovers a side of himself from which he feels separated. The Spielmann is poor by worldly standards. Although he has refined speech and a refined look, the Spielmann wears threadbare clothes and plays a cracked violin for handouts on the street. As the reader becomes acquainted with the Spielmann through the curiosity and questions of the narrator, we learn that the Spielmann has almost no material possessions, no family, and lives in a rented room, separated by a chalk line on the floor from two derelict men. In spite of his circumstances, the Spielmann is, in fact, a man content and indeed happy with his life. In the guise of the narrator and the Spielmann, Grillparzer seeks to discover what is truly real and important to him and why he thinks he does not have it. There is an answer to this question in the novelle, though we will never be certain that it is sufficient for Grillparzer.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Daryl A. Ponder-Rynkiewic
Population ecology of eastern coyotes (Canis latrans ) on Prince Edward Island
No full textThis study represents the first effort to extensively monitor eastern coyotes (Canis latrans) throughout Prince Edward Island (PEI). The main purpose was to determine the population characteristics of coyotes and provide baseline data on their ecology. This study was conducted from August 2001 to August 2003. Scent station surveys were carried out to determine the relative abundance of coyotes, red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), raccoons (Procyon lotor) and striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis) and the relationships between each species. The relative abundance of these species was 54.0 ± 51.9, 47.8 ± 42.1, 17.9 ± 30.5 and 37.1 ± 33.1, respectively. Data collected from 12 radio-collared coyotes were used to determine their home range characteristics, and data obtained from one global positioning system (GPS) collared coyote were used to determine movement characteristics. Analysis of 9 carcasses harvested during the fall and winter by local hunters and trappers and of 25 scat samples were conducted to determine the population dynamics and diet of coyotes on PEI. This study was successful in gathering quantitative information on the population of coyotes inhabiting PEI which can be used to develop management strategies specific to this population.

The Technical Communicator as Author: Meaning, Power, Authority
No full textThe authors explore the parallels to be found by comparing descriptions of the technical communicator with differing views of the communication process—the transmission, translation, and articulation views of communication. In each of these views, the place of the technical communicator and of technical discourse shifts with respect to the production of meaning and relations of power. The authors argue from the standpoint of the articulation view for a new conception of the technical communicator as author and of technical communication as a discourse that produces an author. © 1993, SAGE PERIODICALS PRESS.
