Moll Flanders and the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street : projects of a projecting age
No full textA novel and an organization would generally be regarded as polar opposites: one deals in
fiction, the other in economic realities. This thesis explores the proposition that the novel
and the organization share fundamental characteristics of form, function and technique:
they work in the same way. The proposition is explored by comparing the emergence of an
early English novel, Moll Flanders (1722), and an early English modern organization, the
Bank of England (1694). Moll is recognised as significant in the process of the beginning of
the form of the English novel; I argue that the Bank can be approached as a primary model
of the form of the organization. Building upon Timothy Clark’s exploration of the nature of
inspiration1, the thesis argues that ‘the space of composition’, the period from which they
emerged, sometimes called the Age of Projects (1680-1720), is inherent in, and inherited by
the form of the novel and the organization respectively. They are projects of a projecting
age. The metaphor of the project is taken from Defoe’s Essay Upon Projects (1697) and is
used as an interdisciplinary lens through which to reconstitute an intimate relationship
between the novel and the organization. The thesis is itself understood as a project
bringing a reflexive and experiential dimension to the narrative

Jack Alive / Martin Dead : The Location of the "Author" in Jack London\u27s Martin Eden
No full textThis essay is an attempt to read Martin Eden, Jack Londonʼs autobiographical novel, in terms of the inextricable relationship between the author and the protagonist. Critics have often taken the unbalanced plot and the lack of ironic distance between narrator and character in Martin Eden as the technical weakness of London, but this paper argues that the achievement of this novel owes a great deal to the attachment of London to Martin. The unbalanced structure is a necessary product of the severe struggle of the author to kill his romantic alter ego. // Martin, who aspires to win Ruth Morse, tries to cross class boundaries by making a career of a writer. Even after realizing the emptiness of Ruth, who turns out to be nothing but a typical figure of the bourgeoisie, he somehow persists in loving her. The notion underlying here is that, for Martin, love, career and art are fundamentally inseparable. He objects to the aestheteʼs view of Brissenden on account of his separation of art from career. Martinʼs identity and life consist only in the triunity of love/career/art; the alternative is the repudiation of life. Thus, the unnatural delay of his disappointment in love can be regarded as Londonʼs strategy to set the suicide of Martin as the necessary consequence of the story. // By finishing the story and killing Martin, London finally detaches himself from Martin, reconstructs his self, and, unlike Martin, survives as a professional writer. In this sense, Martin Eden is a story about “writerʼs self-reconstruction.

Glands of Moll: History, Current Knowledge and Their Role in Ocular Surface Homeostasis and Disease
No full textOver the last 20 years, research into the Meibomian glands of the eyelids has increased exponentially and is now widely recognized as a field of research. It is all the more astonishing that knowledge about another type of gland in the eyelids, the Moll glands or ciliary glands, has almost stagnated and there has been little to almost no progress, even though this type of gland as a whole takes up a relatively large volume in the upper and lower eyelids. There is not much information about the namesake Moll or the function of the glands although these are listed in nearly every textbook of anatomy, histology and ophthalmology. For this reason, we set out to compile the existing knowledge about the Moll glands of the eyelids in order to create a basis for follow-up studies and to stimulate research into this type of gland. In our literature research, we went back to the middle of the 19th century and made contact with a descendant of the Moll family and illustrate their relevance for the present. The structure of the secretory part of the Moll glands is very well described, a number of secretory products are known, but the current state of research allows only very rough speculations about their function. The overview provides numerous interesting insights, which, however, raise more questions than they provide answers
Experiences Using Large Scale Video Walls for Distance Education
No full textWe describe our experiences building and using the Rutgers Videowall, a low-cost telepresence system that has been used teaching 15 courses and colloquia. By relaxing typical spatial telepresence features, such as background continuity, we greatly reduced costs and gained flexibility in the rooms it could be deployed in. The lower costs and room flexibility enabled academic departments to use the wall, in contrast to traditional telepresence systems which remained inaccessible. We found that the Videowall’s spatial distortions did not have a significant impact on useability, as our initial survey results show that students had an overall positive experience.Technical report DCS-tr-72
