No full textD. H. Lawrence
No full textSince his death in 1930, D. H. Lawrence has become not only one of the most controversial English novelists of the twentieth century, but also one of the most widely read and quoted writers in the language. In this new study of his major fiction, Alistair Niven revalues all the novels, tracing Lawrence's development through them, both as an artist and as a thinker. At the centre of the book Dr Niven discusses The Rainbow and Women in Love as the diverse products of a single creative intention, nothing less than an exploration of where modern man is going. Lawrence's early novels, The White Peacock and The Trespasser, receive exceptionally close scrutiny. There are also full-length chapters on Lawrence's well-known fiction of sexual self-discovery, Sons and Lovers and Lady Chatterley's Lover. The 'travel' novels - The Lost Girl, Aaron's Rod, The Plumed Serpent and especially the Australian novel Kangaroo, which the author believes has been seriously underestimated by previous critics - are given prominence as evidence of Lawrence's restless desire to find a superior set of values to those he believed had failed in England. Dr Niven's conclusions are derived solely from his close reading of the novels themselves and, when relevant, from Lawrence's correspondence and short stories. This study, with its unusually lively and commonsense approach, confirms Lawrence as not only a great novelist, but a central figure in the development of the modern mind.</jats:p

POTRET LATAR BELAKANG PENGARANG DALAM NOVEL HOLDING UP THE UNIVERSE KARYA JENNIFER NIVEN
No full textThis research is entitled “Potrait Of The Author’s Background in the Novel Holding Up The Universe By Jennifer Niven” This research describing the extrinsic elements of the novel Holding Up The Universe related to the author's background by imagining the experiences, feelings, identity, personality, thoughts, ideas,and passion of the author. The theory appied in this research is the sociology of literature Wellek and Warren (2013), the impact of the author Ratna (2013), the characters and settings Nurgiyantoro (2012). The method used is a qualitative descriptive using a sociological approach to literature to analyze the impact of the author's and structural background to find extrinsic elements in the novel Holding Up The Universe. The results obtained in this study are, the impact of family background includes (1) the author's childhood, (2) adolescence, and (3) exposure to family history. The authors' impacts on their work include (1) the characters depicted, (2) interesting story titles, and (3) the setting of places found in the real world

In silico cancer immunotherapy trials uncover the consequences of therapy-specific response patterns for clinical trial design and outcome Jeroen H.A. Creemers, Kit C.B. Roes, Niven Mehra, Carl G. Figdor, I. Jolanda M. de Vries, Johannes Textor medRxiv 2021.09.09.21263319; doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.09.09.21263319
The manuscript (the revised version of which can be found in this repository) describes three simulation models for cancer patient survival data with different immunotherapy treatments. This repository contains the source code of the simulation models, which are written in C++, as well as an R wrappers using the Rcpp package. These can be found in the directory models/TumorImmuneModels/.
There is also a web-based implementation, written in JavaScript, available at https://computational-immunology.org/models/immunotherapy-trials/.
Finally, see the folder "figures" for the code used to perform the analyses and generate the figures shown in the manuscript

Recurrences for the sum of divisors
No full textThe author presents two recursive determinations of the sum of positive divisors of a given positive integer. Each recurrence is then discussed with regard to economy of computation, and in this light is compared with the well-known recurrence of Niven and Zuckerman. As far as methods of proof are concerned, everything is accomplished within the algebra of formal power series.</p
Folk, modern, oriental, dramatic or communist: Translating Tagore into Hungarian
No full textAs acquaintance with Indian culture, apart from the Orientalist concept of India as an ancient civilisation, was limited amongst East Central Europeans of the early twentieth century, there was an enhanced freedom in imagining Tagore in these cultures. In the early 1920s Tagore was a prophet with a spiritual message and in the 1950s he became an anti-imperialist thinker with progressive social agenda. The article examines Hungarian approaches to translating the first best selling author of living India. Most renderings tried to reach back to an original be it the English prose or the Bengali verse versions. However, the idea of reflecting an original was problematic since it was either very difficult to decide what the ‘original’ was when a poem circulated in several versions, or when only a clearly derivative version was accessible for further translation. This resulted in a particularly wide range of Tagore translation strategies based on patterns already existing in Hungarian literature
