Bertha Muzzy Bower
No full textBertha Muzzy Bower was perhaps the first female author of mass-market Western fiction. In her lifetime, Bower wrote sixty-eight Western novels under an androgynous nom de plume, a mandate made by her early publisher Street & Smith in order to conceal her gender from readers. While it is difficult to accurately assess the massive popularity of these novels, her works—particularly her Flying U novels—attracted the attention of several Hollywood producers and were regularly adapted into films. Her most popular novel, Chip, of the Flying U, seemed to have been a favorite among moviemakers, as it was adapted four times. As most scholarship on Bower focuses on her literary career, information on her work in cinema remains sketchy and indeterminable. Nonetheless, several sources tell us that Bower was attracted to cinema and particularly to the Hollywood Western. According to Orrin Engen, Bower believed that “the early cowboys of the films projected the essential vitality of life on the range” (11). Outside of the film adaptations, her ties to Hollywood seem tangential at best, though she also worked as a scenario writer and screenwriter, collaborating extensively with director Colin Campbell and cowboy actor Tom Mix
Reading the bower: Critical responses to Edmund Spenser\u27s Bower of Bliss in the 1980\u27s
No full textThe Bower of Bliss episode in Edmund Spenser\u27s The Faerie Queene has provoked widely varied interpretations in the 1980\u27s. Though critical controversy is not new to the passage, in the past decade that disagreement has been enunciated in detailed studies for the first time. Some critics have described the Bower episode as a moral allegory that recommends temperance to its readers. Others celebrate its erotic pleasures and portray Guyon\u27s violent destruction of the Bower as evidence that he and the poem\u27s author are cold and sexually repressed. This puzzling disparity has led me to examine criticism on the Bower of Bliss published in the past ten years. My purpose has been to study these readings to examine how they reach their conclusions and to evaluate the reasons for their disagreements. I analyze Spenser\u27s critics using a pattern of interpretation developed by The Faerie Queene itself. The action of the poem constantly parallels the critical enterprise as Spenser\u27s characters are forced to evaluate appearances, solve puzzles, and avoid deceits in the quest to understand reality and to act virtuously. Characters and readers alike must put people and events in proper context to respond to them appropriately. In this sense Spenser builds an allegory of interpretation at the same time that he explores the particular virtue each knight portrays. Using this Spenserian model as a way of approaching both Spenser\u27s poem and his critics\u27 arguments, I find that criticism sometimes reflects its particular assumptions and procedures more than the poem it treats. Aspects of the poem that oppose critical readings are sometimes revalued, restated, or ignored. Hence, critics succeed and err in responding to the poem\u27s images and actions, much as Spenser\u27s characters do. The valuable contributions of historical, psychological, Marxist, and feminist criticism are undercut when method obscures the poem. I find that attention to the details and contexts of The Faerie Queene resolves many of the critical controversies these approaches have spawned

Label-free multiphoton microscopy for imaging transient metabolic dynamics in living cells and tissue
No full textCellular metabolism plays a critical role in human health and homeostasis and is implicated in a large number of pathological conditions. While clinical imaging tools have emerged to probe metabolism at the tissue and organ level, the tools to probe metabolic dynamics at the cellular level have been slow to develop. This thesis represents a step toward realizing one such tool through the use of two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (2P-FLIM) of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). This autofluorescent co-enzyme is involved in both aerobic and anaerobic metabolic processes which can be differentiated utilizing this advanced imaging approach. This thesis first presents a study of cell death dynamics in vivo, with cellular resolution, with a custom-built microscope utilizing a commercial 2P-FLIM detection system. Motivated by the limitations of this study in observing the early dynamics, a high-speed 2P-FLIM instrument is developed and characterized. This developed system is then directly applied to study the rapid, transient metabolic dynamics of cell death, providing new insight into this dynamic metabolic environment. Finally, this tool is combined with fluorescence calcium imaging to study the metabolic dynamics in neuronal activation, revealing a strong cell-specific response to brain activity in dissociated hippocampal cultures. These studies together demonstrate the potential of dynamic metabolic imaging as a tool for both basic scientific research and potential clinical translation. Through further development of these imaging approaches, the complex relationship between cellular metabolism and human health and disease can be further disentangled, providing potential benefits for both future biomedical research and clinical outcomes.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Andrew Bower, accepted the attached license on 2019-02-10 at 12:42.The student, Andrew Bower, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-02-10 at 12:47.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-02-11 at 11:50.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13381 on 2019-08-22 at 16:19:47Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:44:30Z (GMT).
