Gene trees for orthologous groups from "The evolution of nitrogen fixation in cyanobacteria"
No full textPhylogenetic trees for the orthologous groups predicted across 49 taxa of Cyanobacteria and 16 Proteobacteria by Latysheva et al. (2012, Bioinformatics 28:603-606; doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bts008) are provided here. For the 13854 groups containing at least three protein sequences, phylogenies were reconstructed as follows. Multiple alignment of protein sequences was performed using MAFFT (Katoh and Toh 2008, doi:10.1093/bib/bbn013), in "E-INS-I" mode with 1000 iterations. A phylogenetic model was selected for each protein multiple alignment by the Bayesian Information Criterion in MODELGENERATOR (Keane et al. 2006, doi:10.1186/1471-2148-6-29), with four Gamma-distributed rate categories for "+G" models. 200 bootstrap replicates of the multiple alignment were generated using seqboot in the PHYLIP package (Felsenstein, J. Distributed by the author. Department of Genome Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle). Using the selected model, phylogeny was reconstructed by maximum likelihood with PhyML (Guindon et al. 2010, doi:10.1093/sysbio/syq010), both for the original alignment and for the bootstrap replicates.mltrees.zip: 13584 unrooted ML trees in PHYLIP format. The start of each filename gives the orthologous group number. Tip labels in trees consist of the protein accession, followed by an underscore, then the three-letter abbreviation for the taxon. Orthologous group numbers and taxon abbreviations are as in Latysheva et al. (2012, 10.1093/bioinformatics/bts008).

The Adams operation psi3 [Greek letter to the power of 3] as an upper triangular matrix
No full textIn the 2-local stable homotopy category the group of left bu-module automorphisms of bu Λ bo which induce the identity on mod 2 homology is isomorphic to the group of infinite, invertible upper triangular matrices with entries in the 2-adic integers. After giving a survey of the required background material from stable homotopy theory, we identify the conjugacy class of the matrix corresponding to 1 Λ ψ3, where ψ3 is the Adams operation. We conclude by giving two applications of having knowledge of the identity of this matrix.</p

The chameleon poet: a life of George Barker
No full textA biography of the British poet George Barker (1913-1991).
The poet George Barker was convinced that his biography could never be written. 'I've stirred the facts around too much,' he told Robert Fraser. 'It simply can't be done.' Eliot wrote of his 'genius'. Yeats thought him the most interesting poet of his generation. Dylan Thomas envied his power over women. War trapped him in Japan. In America he conducted one of the most celebrated love affairs of the century. He fathered fifteen children in several countries, three during one battle-torn summer.
By the 1950s he was the toast of Soho. Barker was Catholic and bohemian, frank and elusive, tender and boisterous. In Eliot's phrase, he was 'a most peculiar fellow.' Robert Fraser's biography offers both a portrait of a talented, tormented and irresistibly entertaining man, and a broad cultural landscape.
Around the central figure cluster painters like Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Johnny Minton and the 'Roberts' Colquhoun and MacBryde; writers such as Dylan Thomas, Walter de la Mare and Elizabeth Smart, whose By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept hymns their liaison; the lugubrious humorist Jeffrey Bernard. After closing time at the Colony Room, Minton declared, they had to sweep up the jokes

The theatre of promiscuity : a comparative study of the dramatic writings of Wole Soyinka and Howard Barker
No full textThe word 'artist serves as a pivot to the major concerns of this study. Consideration of its application and meaning in relation to contemporary society facilitates a detailed exploration and analysis of selected dramatic writings by Wole Soyinka and Howard Barker. The comparative nature of this work begins by charting the parallel journeys of these writers - within widely differing cultural contexts - from a critique of social determinations which serve to define and bound authorial intent to a process of "promiscuous" self-definition whereby the artistic imagination is used to name and designate a specific relationship to the cultural and social structures within which their work will be received.
Working from a theoretical base which, in the case of Soyinka, finds its foundations in critique and commentary upon nationalist discourse, and in the case of Barker,
rests upon contemporary critiques of Enlightenment reason, the study debates their development of theatrical form within both social and cultural contexts. Emphasis is
placed upon the relationship of the author to the dramatic text, the creation of character and the defined channels of communication through which dramatic performance is to be received by the spectator. The concept of 'transgression' is
explored as a key principle by which to define the 'theatrical' as opposed to the 'social' text.
Chapters Four and Five link the work of Howard Barker and Wole Soyinka through the application of Nietzschean philosophy, with especial emphasis being placed upon
the concept of genealogical history, the creation of the aesthetic, and the consideration of 'tragedy' as a means by which to offer resistant critique to the social
imperative of national citizenship as a badge and boundary to identity. The formation of the 'tragic' or 'catastrophic' individual is explored through key dramatic texts, thus allowing dramatic form the status of a discourse in its own right.
Throughout the study an attempt is made to develop an argument which allows the artist to be distinguished as one who speaks to his nation, rather than for his nation.
With regard to the work of Barker and Soyinka this has involved both the exposure and exploration of a theatrical space unmapped by social cartography, and a peopling
of the stage with creations who could be described as 'ethical' rather than 'political' individuals
