Proximity and Gaze Influences Facial Temperature: A Thermal Infrared Imaging Study.
No full textDirect gaze and interpersonal proximity are known to lead to changes in psycho-physiology, behaviour and brain function. We know little, however, about subtler facial reactions such as rise and fall in temperature, which may be sensitive to contextual effects and functional in social interactions. Using thermal infrared imaging cameras 18 female adult participants were filmed at two interpersonal distances (intimate and social) and two gaze conditions (averted and direct). The order of variation in distance was counterbalanced: half the participants experienced a female experimenter’s gaze at the social distance first before the intimate distance (a socially ‘normal’ order) and half experienced the intimate distance first and then the social distance (an odd social order). At both distances averted gaze always preceded direct gaze. We found strong correlations in thermal changes between six areas of the face (forehead, chin, cheeks, nose, maxilliary and periorbital regions) for all experimental conditions and developed a composite measure of thermal shifts for all analyses. Interpersonal proximity led to a thermal rise, but only in the ‘normal’ social order. Direct gaze, compared to averted gaze, led to a thermal increase at both distances with a stronger effect at intimate distance, in both orders of distance variation. Participants reported direct gaze as more intrusive than averted gaze, especially at the intimate distance. These results demonstrate the powerful effects of another person’s gaze on psycho-physiological responses, even at a distance and independent of context

No full textThere are very few details about this course online, but it appears to be a longrunning fourth-year elective. Mercer University announced in June 2021 that it was establishing a new Department of Bioethics and Medical Humanities within the medical school. This development may lead to the creation of further relevant courses.

The application of capillary electrophoresis to examine protein modifications in baked versus fried tortilla chips
No full textAlthough lipid oxidation is recognized as a major chemical reaction limiting shelf life of foods, its role in degrading food quality and the mechanisms involved remain incompletely elucidated. Interactions of oxidizing lipids with other food molecules have been largely ignored, even though these reactions can have dramatic impact on food properties. Lipid co-oxidation of proteins occurs extensively in nearly all processed foods and degrades textures, flavors, color, and nutritional value. It is important to measure both lipid and protein co-oxidation products to understand the full extent of oxidative deterioration during food storage. This thesis is part of a larger project examining baked and fried tortilla chips to differentiate thermal damage to proteins from lipid co-oxidation during processing and storage. In a previous study, gel electrophoresis revealed modification of protein surfaces that affected dye binding, as well as formation of sizeable protein aggregates too large to enter normal gels involving disulfide, free radical, and other crosslinks. As an alternative to polyacrylamide gels, capillary electrophoresis can separate peptides without molecular weight limits, by modes that may be more sensitive to side chain modifications, and requires only a few nanoliters of sample. Thus, this study investigated the use of capillary electrophoresis for tracking fragmentation and crosslinking in co-oxidized proteins. Results corroborated observations that fried tortilla chip samples had greater changes than baked tortilla chip samples and higher incubation temperature resulted in more protein damage, most notably in fried reducing fractions. In addition, surface modifications altered protein charge, which interfered with migration in capillary electrophoresis. Peptide detection was limited to zeins of about 50 kDa because the sample filtration step intended to prevent capillary blockage also removed higher molecular weight fractions, including glutelins. However, fragmentation products not distinguishable in gel electrophoresis were detected. Overall, results of this study suggest that capillary electrophoresis has intriguing possibilities for supplementing SDS-PAGE and other protein analyses, particularly in verifying the presence of surface modifications. However, significant hurdles—such as reasons for lack of high molecular weight peptide loading and migration—remain to be overcome before capillary electrophoresis can become a primary method for analysis of modified proteins.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Lisa Hayley Schult
Hayley's biography of Dante
No full textWilliam Hayley’s literary relationship with Dante had a central role in the rediscovery of the Italian poet at the turn of the nineteenth century in England. His knowledge of Dante likely dates back to his student years at Trinity Hall in the 1760s, when he learned “to read, write, and speak Italian with fluency” from his master Agostino Isola, “an elderly, ingenious and distressed Italian” who taught in Cambridge. Hayley invoked Dante in The Triumphs of Temper (1781) and An Essay on Epic Poetry (1782) and was one of the earliest to attempt rendering the Commedia from the original terza rima, offering the most extended English version available in print at the time. The translation was first published in his notes to An Essay on Epic Poetry and encompassed the first three cantos of Inferno. Contemporary writers’ views on his Dante translation, particularly those expressed by Anna Seward and Horace Walpole, are significant. Seward had little admiration for “the fire and smoke poet” and Walpole was notorious for his hostility to Dante. However, they greatly admired Hayley’s version, even more so than Boyd’s. In a letter to Helen Williams, Seward confesses that “after reading and comparing it with Mr. Hayley’s sublime English version of the three first cantos, we cannot place great confidence in Boyd’s justice to his author” (25 August 1785). Boyd himself praised Hayley’s translation and highlighted that in his edition “many biographical particulars of Dante, are taken from Mr. Hayley’s Notes to his Essay on Epic Poetry.” But Hayley’s An Essay on Epic Poetry, apart from his acclaimed translation of the Commedia, includes other noteworthy parts such as his translations of sonnets by Dante, Petrarch, and Camõens and a series of European poets’ biographies, including those of Dante, Boccaccio, and Tasso. In his sketch of Dante’s life, Hayley emphasizes “the lighter graces of sprightly composition,” going beyond the common perception of Dante as a poet “inclined to melancholy.” Hayley’s notes raise questions about the readership of Italian poetry at the time, particularly in what way poets such as Dante were introduced to the English reader, and how the inclusion of Dante’s biography in An Essay might have contributed to the reception of his verse-in-translation. This chapter revolves around the exploration of these concerns in order to contextualize Hayley as a prominent figure who, besides his important connections to Blake and Romney, crucially contributed to literary and artistic negotiations across borders.</p

This monograph presents selected performance works made between 1994 and 2001. Actual and fictional performance works are published alongside each other. The book includes Research Output 1 - Connotations Performance Images 1994-1998 (1998).
In his introduction, Aaron Williamson writes that by titling the book Performancemania the author reveals herself as; ‘a long standing enthusiast, or fan, of what she considers to be a genuinely revolutionary moment in art, namely European performance art of the 60s and 70s’. This theme of fandom continues throughout the publication, which is reflexive, visibly modelling itself on the traditional artist’s monograph.
The latter half of the book contains an edited version of a self-interview, extracted from my unpublished doctoral thesis; Locating Performance: Textual Identity and the Performative (University of Leeds, 2001). The self-interview identifies itself as a performance and points to ‘the interview’ as a structure with both a temporal and physical location beyond the page.
The book presents 24 actual performance works alongside 21 fictional ones. Works are presented as images with accompanying texts. Fictional works are embedded in the book, distinguished by the colour of the page and an inverse positioning of image and text.
I am currently represented by Matt’s Gallery. However, this book was published before representation was agreed.
