Father Andrew Mullen 1790-1818: a study in early nineteenth century spirituality
No full textThis thesis is laid out in three parts: Part I. The life and death of Andrew Mullen. The life is based, to a large extent, on a long letter to his mother, Catherine Mullen, dated 7 January 1810. The letter gives a definite insight into his spirituality based on his membership of the Archconfraternity of the Blessed Sacrament. There is a hint that he had a premonition of an early death. Part II. The burial of Andrew Mullen and the immediate cult to him This is based on documentary evidence. Part III. Most of this part is a catalogue of testimonies taken from 1993 onwards. Then there is the conclusion on the popular devotion to Andrew Mullen stressing the theological aspect of the subject. In the course of writing the thesis it was decided to separate the documentary evidence from the oral tradition. This was advantageous in developing the thesis, and the documents provided a secure basis for the oral tradition. Two pieces of information were found in March 1997. They are death notices: 2 January 1819, The Leinster Journal and 7 January 1819, The Car low Morning Post. There is a slight discrepancy between the two on the date of his death. Also this discrepancy shows a slight difference from the date of the tombstone
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
The Life of the Author: D. H. Lawrence
No full textThe Life of the Author: D. H. Lawrence is a focused exploration of the whole of the author’s life and writing career. Combining biographical detail and close readings of works in different genres, the book illuminates the complexities of Lawrence’s writing through a careful, questioning approach to biographical sources and recent scholarship. Andrew Harrison provides original insights into Lawrence’s relationship to working-class experience, his anti-suffragist feminist views, his reaction to the Great War, his responses to racial and cultural difference, his attitudes towards sex, sexuality, and sexual identity, and much more

Special transformations for pentamode acoustic cloaking
No full textThe acoustic cloaking theory of Norris1 permits considerable freedom in choosing the transformation f from physical to virtual space. The standard process for defining cloak materials is to first define f and then evaluate whether the materials are practically realizable. In this paper, this process is inverted by defining desirable material properties and then deriving the appropriate transformations which guarantee the cloaking effect. Transformations are derived which result in acoustic cloaks with special properties such as 1) constant density 2) constant radial stiffness 3) constant tangential stiffness 4) power-law density 5) power-law radial stiffness 6) power-law tangential stiffness. 7) minimal elastic anisotropy.Peer reviewe
Andrew Hudgins, 22nd Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textAndrew Hudgins is the author of five books of poetry and a book of essays. Presently a visiting professor of creative writing at The Johns Hopkins University, he has been the recipient of many prizes including the Thomas H. Carter Prize from Shenandoah for the best essay published in the magazine in 1998, the Frederick Bock Award from Poetry, and the Hanes Poetry Prize from the Fellowship of Southern Writers in 1995. The Never-Ending (1991) was a finalist for the 1991 National Book Award in Poetry. In 1998, he published Babylon in a Jar. The poems in Babylon in a Jar extend the forceful explorations that Andrew Hudgins began in his earlier work, particularly in Saints and Strangers, his first book and a runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize in 1985. In this volume Hudgins\u27s poems revel in the either/or in life, reducing specific conflicts to the old, all-encompassing one between order and disorder. Ray Olson said in Booklist in 1998, Hudgins teases ponderable sensual and psychological pleasures out of such things as gardening and walking the dog and he calls Hudgins one of America\u27s most accessible, natural poets
Service-oriented models for audiovisual content storage
No full textWhat are the important topics to understand if involved with storage services to hold digital audiovisual content? This report takes a look at how content is created and moves into and out of storage; the storage service value networks and architectures found now and expected in the future; what sort of data transfer is expected to and from an audiovisual archive; what transfer protocols to use; and a summary of security and interface issues
13.2 When to Write a Policy
No full textThe temptation will always be there to author a policy for everything. However, this is not a great use of time, and it can become problematic and challenging to enforce. This information can help guide you in determining when it is necessary to create a new policy or if you can simplify the task and develop processes and procedures for existing polices.
