Prædiken til 5. aug. 1972 af Johan Grundtvig. Introduction and comments
No full textJohan Grundtvigs prædiken d. 5. august 1792Af Gerald M. HaslamMed den her gengivne prædiken af N.F.S. Grundtvigs far præsenteres et større transskriptionsarbejde og en opfølgende analyse. Haslam arbejder dels med Johan Grundtvigs prædikener, dels med sammes brevveksling. Arbejdet skal munde ud i en redegørelse for N.F.S. Grundtvigs forhold til faderens teologi.Prædikenen er fra 1792 og har derfor kunnet høres af N.F.S. Grundtvig før han drog til Thyregod. Haslam tilslutter sig K.E. Bugges beskrivelse af Johan Grundtvigs teologi som en blanding af ortodoksi, pietisme og supranaturalisme, men understreger, at Johan Grundtvigs teologi er endog mere præget af bodskristendom, end Bugge antager.Haslam foretager på grundlag af den samlede mængde prædikener en bestemmelse af Johan Grundtvigs teologi i en samfundsmæssig og kulturel kontekst. Denne analyse peger på de positive aspekter af Johan Grundtvigs virke, uden at Haslam derfor forholder sig ukritisk til Johan Grundtvig. Han understreger det værdifulde i, at Johan Grundtvig i en tid præget af politisk og religiøs forvirring gennem sin forkyndelse af den personlige omvendelses betydning for den evige frelse var i stand til at motivere sine sognebørn til at leve et bedre liv og til at bibringe dem tr.st og håb.Afsluttende går Haslam det klart, at N.F.S. Grundtvig - og andre fornyere af forkyndelsen - ikke opstod i et tomrum, men positivt knyttede an til forkyndelsen hos kirkemænd, der i slutningen af 1700-tallet bekymrede sig for deres sognebørns åndelige og fysiske velbefindende
A Contemporary Western Writer Gerald Haslam: His Means to a New West and the World
No full textPurpose of the Study: Gerald Haslam is representative of the contemporary Western writer whose works reveal a new West, not the mythical or formula Western of the past. He has focused his writing on the Great Central Valley; the people, places and events typical of their lives. However, this has not limited the universality of his themes. The purpose of my study is to examine Haslam's work for clues leading to an understanding of how he has used his locale to rediscover the West and, in turn, achieve universal significance. Procedure: This study has used all of Haslam's short story collections and many of his nonfiction books, magazine articles and tapes. I have also used information obtained as a participant in his Spring 1988 classes in Western Literature at Sonoma State University, and also information obtained through personal conversations with him. I have also used many of the nonfiction writings of some of his contemporaries in my study. Findings: The locale of the Great Central Valley has had an enormous influence on Haslam, and he has used it as a focus and springboard for much of his fiction. This has been to his advantage as it provides him with nonstereotypical sources devoid of the myths of the formula Western. Haslam's West consists of real people and places which enable him to achieve in his fiction commonality of experience, the essential of universality. Conclusions: Haslam is an exemplar of the contemporary Western writer in providing the reader a new West through his Great Central Valley. What's more, he proves that the regional writer can achieve universal significance. He should be read for both entertainment and insight into the human condition.Weeks, Jonina. 1988.

Thermal equivalence of DNA duplexes for probe design
No full textWe present the theory of thermal equivalence in the framework of the Peyrard–Bishop model and some of its anharmonic variants. The thermal equivalence gives rise to a melting index ? which maps closely the experimental DNA melting temperatures for short DNA sequences. We show that the efficient calculation of the melting index can be used to analyse the parameters of the Peyrard–Bishop model and propose an improved set of Morse potential parameters. With this new set we are able to calculate some of the experimental melting temperatures to ± 1.2 °C. We review some of the concepts of sequencing probe design and show how to use the melting index to explore the possibilities of gene coverage by tuning the model parameters

Thermal equivalence of DNA duplexes without calculation of melting temperature
No full textThe common key to nearly all processes involving DNA is the hybridization and melting of the double helix: from transmission of genetic information and RNA transcription, to polymerase chain reaction and DNA microarray analysis, DNA mechanical nanodevices and DNA computing. Selecting DNA sequences with similar melting temperatures is essential for many applications in biotechnology. We show that instead of calculating these temperatures, a single parameter can be derived from a statistical-mechanics model that conveniently represents the thermodynamic equivalence of DNA sequences. This parameter is shown to order experimental melting temperatures correctly, is much more readily obtained than the melting temperature, and is easier to handle than the numerous parameters of empirical regression models
