No full textA Collection of Tales by Mr. Ken Sutton
No full textNotes - Mr. Sutton tells eight trapping, hunting and fishing tales, detailing his many exciting encounters with bears, wolves, lynx and storms. He narrates a bad personal accident on a trap line where he severed the main artery to his brain (along with his ear) and lived to tell about it (much to his surgeon's surprise.) His last story tells of a heart attack in 1978 and his road to recovery (26 pages
SuchThatCast Episode 8: John Sutton
No full textJohn Sutton is Professor of Cognitive Science at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. He is currently head of the same department, having previously also been head of the Macquarie Philosophy department. He is author of Philosophy and Memory Traces:Descartes to Connectionism (Cambridge University Press, 1998), and co-editor of Descartes’ Natural Philosophy and the Sage journal and Palgrave Macmillan book series Memory Studies. Sutton and I discuss a range of topics, including the occult in literature, Descartes, shared memories, the extended mind hypothesis, identity, skills in sports, and what the role of a philosopher should be in an interdisciplinary setting. There were some audio issues in this episode, in particular some unfortunate rumbling coming from my microphone. I hope this won’t distract from the talk. I should also mention that I thought for a long time I had to label this episode with [explicit lyrics], but Sutton rightly pointed out to me that he did actually say “you folk are wrong”, not quite the same phrase I thought I heard
Sri Lanka: A Photographic Essay

Through a multimedia approach, Sutton creates photo exhibits and films to educate the public on landmines, unexploded ordnance, and small arms and light weapons
Most of what little is known of the life of Sutton Island poet Hortense Flexner
No full textMost of what little is known of the life of Sutton Island poet Hortense Flexner (1885-1973) comes from the film and commentary created by Belgian author Margeurite Yourcenar, who called her La Grande Poetess du Maine and felt Flexner was emblematic of Bar Harbor\u27s Cranberry Isles. Detailed biography of Flexner includes criticism, poetic excerpts, and the full text of her poems Woods After Rain and Happy Country, both referring to Sutton Island
Early Modern Dutch Prints of Africa
No full textUsing Pieter de Marees\u27 Description and Historical Account of the Gold Kingdom of Guinea (1602) as her main source material, author Elizabeth Sutton brings to bear approaches from the disciplines of art history and book history to explore the context in which De Marees\u27 account was created. Since variations of the images and text were repeated in other European travel collections and decorated maps, Sutton is able to trace how the framing of text and image shaped the formation of knowledge that continued to be repeated and distilled in later European depictions of Africans. She reads the engravings in De Marees\u27 account as a demonstration of the intertwining domains of the Dutch pictorial tradition, intellectual inquiry, and Dutch mercantilism. At the same time, by analyzing the marketing tactics of the publisher, Cornelis Claesz, this study illuminates how early modern epistemological processes were influenced by the commodification of knowledge. Sutton examines the book\u27s construction and marketing to shed new light on the social milieus that shared interests in ethnography, trade, and travel. Exploring how the images and text function together, Sutton suggests that Dutch visual and intellectual traditions informed readers\u27 choices for translating De Marees\u27 text visually. Through the examination of early modern Dutch print culture, Early Modern Dutch Prints of Africa expands the boundaries of our understanding of the European imperial enterprise. -- Provided by publisherhttps://scholarworks.uni.edu/facbook/1022/thumbnail.jp
Limiting Avoidable Microbiological Variability
No full text[ "Microbiology Topics" discusses various topics in microbiology of practical use in validation and compliance. We intend this column to be a useful resource for daily work applications. Reader comments, questions, and suggestions are needed to help us fulfill our objective for this column. Case studies from readers are most welcome. Please send your comments and suggestions to column coordinator Scott Sutton at scott.sutton@microbiol. org or journal coordinating editor Susan Haigney at [email protected]. KEY POINTS The following key points are discussed in this article: • Quality control (QC) microbiology test data are subject to significant variability, both avoidable and unavoidable • Good microbiological procedures, backed by sound microbiological practices, can serve to minimize avoidable variability • The lab's standard operating procedure (SOP) system is a powerful tool to describe and document compliance with good practice • The lab should determine critical areas of coverage for the SOP system to ensure a comprehensive program • The SOP for a lab test should describe critical parameters of the test and meet the criteria of regulatory requirements and guidance for that procedure. The documentation of compliance with these requirements is both a legitimate good manufacturing practice (GMP) audit concern and a useful source of information for investigations. • A sound SOP system can serve to minimize avoidable variability in the microbiology lab • SOPs may be categorized into testing methods, documentation and SOPs, environmental monitoring, and laboratory support activities • Training for the members of the lab should be tightly tied to the SOP system, and can support functional specialization of staff • SOPs for each functional area are described • The content of this discussion should serve to benchmark your system, guide regulatory compliance, and be a framework for training • Considering the SOP system from a functional perspective links job skills to SOPs and facilitates tracking of revisions • Controlling variability and avoidable error is critical to successful microbiology laboratory operation because microbiology is exquisitely sensitive to personnel performance and techniques. INTRODUCTION Microbiology in the QC laboratory is subject to variability in the test results, in the samples taken, in the manner in which they are taken (with severe limitations in sample size contributing to the problem), and Limiting Avoidable Microbiological Variability Scott Sutton ABOUT THE AUTHOR Scott Sutton, Ph.D., is owner and operator of The Microbiology Network (www.microbiol.org), which provides services to microbiology-related user's groups.

Electrical and Mechanical Properties of new Recyclable Power Cable Insulation Materials based upon Polyethylene Blends
No full textChemically crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) has been used as electrical insulation for power cables since the 1970s due to its favourable combination of electrical and mechanical properties. However, as the electrical engineering community has become increasingly aware of the life cycle environmental impacts, XLPE has come under scrutiny for its lack of recyclability and the high process energies used in its manufacture. Although technologies are being developed to facilitate the re-use of XLPE at the end of its initial service life, the use of this material is inferior to fully recyclable and low process energy alternatives. In this investigation, we concentrated on the use of binary blends of linear and branched polyethylene (LPE / BPE) as potential replacement materials for XLPE, since such systems have the potential to combine comparable mechanical properties and enhanced breakdown strength with good recyclability. We compare the thin film AC ramp breakdown behaviour of blends as a function of temperature up to 97 oC. These consist of the same BPE in virgin and crosslinked states and in a blend with 20wt% LPE. These data are augmented with dynamic mechanical analysis. In concert, these data indicate that with appropriate morphological control the blended thermoplastic material exhibits superior properties to XLPE under conventional operating conditions and may even be suitable for higher temperature operation than XLPE. The paper will discuss the importance of polymer blending and blend physical properties in the context of the process requirements and the implications for cable manufacture and on cable electrical and environmental performance in comparison with XLPE
We Can Protect the "Waters of the United States" as Long as They Stay out of the Hydrological Cycle
No full textThe author critiques the limitations of current legal definitions under the Clean Water Act. She argues that recent judicial interpretations, particularly following Sackett v. EPA, narrow the scope of federal water protections by disregarding the realities of the hydrological cycle. The article highlights the scientific disconnect between legal standards and how water actually moves through the environment. Sutton contends that meaningful protection of U.S. waters requires a more integrated, science-based approach that acknowledges connectivity across surface and groundwater systems. Her analysis calls for legal reforms that align environmental regulation with ecological and hydrological principles
