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.

The Anadyomene Movement: metamorphics of figure-ground
No full text‘Figure-ground’ is about the production of meaning based on the perception of contrasts or binary oppositions and segregations. Viewers of my paintings, and of the kind of paintings that interest me, have the impression that the ‘figure’ subsides or slips or fades into ‘ground’, or that the ‘ground’ is more powerful or dominant than the ‘figure’, or that the ‘figure’ is insecurely attached, suggesting it is incapable, unwilling, too acquiescent or complicit to fully differentiate itself from the ‘ground’. I address flux, mutation, indistinctness and complementarity within the visual field of painting. I develop and extend the heuristic context for the interpretation of my studio practice and for work of a similar kind, and then feedback this new context into my practice in order to generate new works, also in the process shedding a new light on my interpretative models. Beyond this, I also make a more general argument for the re alignment of the relationship between art theory and practice - one that can better incorporate a sense of in between-ness, indistinctness or liminality. My approach is comparative: I look at East Asian art and ideas and, in particular, deploy the writings of the French Sinologist and philosopher François Jullien, in whose work there is the attempt to expand Western epistemology, ontology, semantics and aesthetics via a discussion of Chinese thought and aesthetics. Jullien proposes a paradigm that draws the ‘in-out’ respiratory rhythm or pulse within the perceptual field towards the centre of a theory of representation, a theory that seeks to account for consciousness from the ‘inside’ rather than the ‘outside’. The consequence of this relocation of agency is an interpretative framework that is firmly grounded in a nondualistic and holistic approach, foregrounding affect and empathetic relationships between artist and work, viewer and work, and self and the world. Traditional East Asian thought begins with similar premises to poststructuralism in the West: the ‘self’ is an illusion and the possibility of knowledge of reality independent of thought is dismissed as untenable because there is no objective reality accessible to us. Everything depends on the bias of the mind, rather than on anything we can identify as an innate attribute of reality itself, thus there is no escape from our lived experience, and we are profoundly limited by the interpretive knowledge of our mind; we are trapped within the ‘prison house of language’. But within the different recursive orientations that characterize ‘East’ and ‘West’ the interpretation and consequences of these insights are understood in quite different ways. I explore why this should be the case and what some of the consequences are, both theoretically through the written text and performatively through my studio work
The Origins of the Morleys in England and their Early Appearance in Wales
No full textThis article describes the early history of the Morleys in England and Wales. The surname was well established by the fourteenth century in several English counties especially in Norfolk, Wiltshire and Lancashire where detailed records still exist. In Norfolk, there are frequent occurrences of the name from 1150 onwards with the Barons Morley of Norfolk very prominent medieval figures. Robert, the second baron, and Thomas, the fourth baron, were the most famous, but the direct line of the barons died out in 1442. One branch of this family possibly migrated west to Worcestershire by the sixteenth century and there are several examples of the name found there at this time. From the twelfth century onwards, several Morleys are recorded also in both Wiltshire and Oxfordshire and another important family had evolved independently in Mearley in Lancashire by the early fourteenth century. The latter acquired the estate of Wennington through marriage and a number of the descendants were prominent figures, such as the John Morley of Wennington, born around 1365. This manor and its estate, remained with the Morleys for more than 300 years. One of the early descendants, Nicholas Morley of Hertfordshire, was an MP for that shire and acquired the Glynde estate in Sussex through marriage. His descendants included the Thomas Morley, who was a prominent Sussex ironmaster in the sixteenth century. In Wales, the Morley name is uncommon with Sir John Morley of Llansantffraed in Monmouthshire, being the first prominent person recorded. He was born around 1345, and thought to have been the first son of Baron William Morley of Norfolk. A second person of note was Anthony Morley of Llanwonno in Glamorganshire, born around 1535, who was the second son of the ironmaster Thomas Morley of Glynde. A third person, Walter Morley of Llangathen, appears around the same time in Carmarthenshire, though he was born in Bayton in Worcestershire around 1567. He is thought to be the progenitor of many of the Morleys now living in south Wales
