Rooted in all its story, more is meant than meets the ear : a study of the relational and revelational nature of George MacDonald's mythopoeic art
No full textScholars and storytellers alike have deemed George MacDonald a great mythopoeic writer, an exemplar of the art. Examination of this accolade by those who first applied it to him proves it profoundly theological: for them a mythopoeic tale was a relational medium through which transformation might occur, transcending boundaries of time and space. The implications challenge much contemporary critical study of MacDonald, for they demand that his literary life and his theological life cannot be divorced if either is to be adequately assessed. Yet they prove consistent with the critical methodology MacDonald himself models and promotes. Utilizing MacDonald’s relational methodology evinces his intentional facilitating of Mythopoesis. It also reveals how oversights have impeded critical readings both of MacDonald’s writing and of his character. It evokes a redressing of MacDonald’s relationship with his Scottish cultural, theological, and familial environment – of how his writing is a response that rises out of these, rather than, as has so often been asserted, a mere reaction against them. Consequently it becomes evident that key relationships, both literary and personal, have been neglected in MacDonald scholarship – relationships that confirm MacDonald’s convictions and inform his writing, and the examination of which restores his identity as a literature scholar. Of particular relational import in this reassessment is A.J. Scott, a Scottish visionary intentionally chosen by MacDonald to mentor him in a holistic Weltanschauung. Little has been written on Scott, yet not only was he MacDonald’s prime influence in adulthood, but he forged the literary vocation that became MacDonald’s own. Previously unexamined personal and textual engagement with John Ruskin enables entirely new readings of standard MacDonald texts, as does the textual engagement with Matthew Arnold and F.D. Maurice. These close readings, informed by the established context, demonstrate MacDonald’s emergence, practice, and intent as a mythopoeic writer
Chronic myeloproliferative disorders: the role of tyrosine kinases in pathogenesis, diagnosis and therapy
No full textThe term chronic myeloproliferative disorders was originally used by Damashek to describe the link amongst a group of acquired blood diseases. Recent molecular genetic analysis has provided a scientific basis for this observation. Underlying myeloproliferative disorders are acquired abnormalities of tyrosine kinase genes. These may be chromosomal translocations resulting in the creation of a fusion kinase gene, examples of which include ABL, FGFR, and PDGFR as seen in disorders CML, 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome, atypical CML and chronic eosinophilic leukaemia. The second group of tyrosine kinase abnormalities are point mutations in JAK2, a cytosolic TK. This abnormality is seen in 30-97% of cases of MPD with the phenotype PV, ET or CIM

Partially-Symmetric Macdonald Polynomials
No full textNonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials can be symmetrized in all their variables to obtain the (symmetric) Macdonald polynomials. We generalize this process, symmetrizing the nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials in only the first k out of n variables. The resulting partially-symmetric Macdonald polynomials interpolate between the symmetric and nonsymmetric types. We begin developing theory for these partially-symmetric polynomials, and prove results including their stability, an integral form, and a Pieri-like formula for their multiplication with certain elementary symmetric functions.Doctor of PhilosophyThere are two well-understood types of polynomials known as the nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials and symmetric Macdonald polynomials. We define a new form of Macdonald polynomials, which we call partially-symmetric, that are somewhere between the symmetric and nonsymmetric versions. We examine properties of these new partially-symmetric polynomials, including what happens when adding additional symmetric variables, how to multiply them by a constant to clear out denominators in their coefficients, and what happens when multiplying them by another symmetric polynomial
Heritability and Linkage Analysis of Appendicitis Utilizing Age at Onset
No full textAppendicitis usually afflicts the young, but there is a large tail in the distribution of onset age. The genetics of this disease are still not well understood. A heritability analysis and genome wide linkage analysis of a large twin dataset was undertaken. Treating age of onset of appendicitis as a censored survival trait revealed a heritability of 0.21, and found evidence of linkage to Chromosome 1p37.3.

Three Day Work-Out
No full textUnderpinning the project is a re-imagining of a historic social reform movement, the Clarion, very active in Liverpool, Birmingham and surrounding areas in the late 19th century.
Three Day Work-Out takes activities of the Clarion movement – communal cycling, singing and publishing – as a way to reflect on current debates around modern forms of work and leisure. Tate Exchange Liverpool hosted several participatory events, including a film screening, a self-publishing workshop, a sing-along protest choir and the collaborative action Protesteroo, a cycle-choir-troupe delivering on-demand musical messages of hope and resistance to locations around Tate Liverpool.
