Sax Rohmer's Egyptian intoxication
No full textBook synopsis: 2013 marks the 100th anniversary of the first appearance of one of the world's most notorious fictional villains, the fiendish Dr Fu Manchu, """"the Yellow Peril incarnate in one man"""": master criminal, evil scientist and lord of strange deaths. Fu Manchu's creator, Sax Rohmer (Arthur Sarsfield Ward, 1883-1959) was the king of pulp exotica. This groundbreaking collection of essays and appreciations considers the work, contexts and enduring fascination of Rohmer, from fin-de-siecle racial anxieties to Egypt, anarchists, and the occult
Traces and shards of self-injury: Strange accounting with “Author X”
No full textIn this strange account autoethnography, three or four authors explore their lived experiences with self-injury. Strange accounting is both a post-modern style of text, and a method for keeping identities concealed when risks and secrets are in play. Author X, a post-modern place-keeper for an anonymous author who may or may not have contributed to this manuscript, introduces a new dimension and layer of concealment. With Author X in-play and under erasure, the reader will never be sure if there were three or four authors on this manuscript. Through strange accounting, a post-structuralist/postmodernist frame will be applied to understanding the self-injury experience. We frame self-injury as a social practice and, for some, an everyday norm, while remaining acutely aware of the stigma surrounding the topic of self-injury. Each of us, coupled with Author X, provide the others cover to trace stories of self-injury through the literature, our flesh, and our lives
Measurement of V0 production ratios in pp collisions at √s=0.9 and 7 TeV
No full textThe Λ/Λ and Λ/K0S production ratios are measured by the LHCb detector from 0.3 nb−1 of pp collisions delivered by the LHC at √s = 0.9 TeV and 1.8 nb−1 at √s = 7 TeV. Both ratios are presented as a function of transverse momentum, pT, and rapidity, y, in the ranges 0.15 < pT < 2.50 GeV/c and 2.0 < y < 4.5. Results at the two energies are in good agreement as a function of rapidity loss, ∆y = ybeam − y, and are consistent with previous measurements. The ratio Λ/Λ, measuring the transport of baryon number from the collision into the detector, is smaller in data than predicted in simulation, particularly at high rapidity. The ratio Λ/K0S, measuring the baryon-to-meson suppression in strange quark hadronisation, is significantly larger than expected
Deformation of the strange superalgebra P(n)
No full textInternational audienceA deformation U_q(tilde-P(n)) = tilde-P_q(n) of the extended non-contragredient (strange) superalgebra of P(n), denoted by tilde-P(n), is proposed. A realization of tilde-P_q(n) in terms of q-bosons and q-fermions is presented. Then a procedure to build up a set of representations of tilde-P_q(n) is briefly discussed. As a by-product, a new realization of SU_q(n) is obtained
Emotional and Adrenocortical Responses of Infants to the Strange Situation: The Differential Function of Emotional Expression
No full textThe aim of the study was to investigate biobehavioural organisation in infants with different qualities of attachment. Quality of attachment (security and disorganisation), emotional expression, and adrenocortical stress reactivity were investigated in a sample of 106 infants observed during Ainsworth’s Strange Situation at the age of 12 months. In addition, behavioural inhibition was assessed from maternal reports. As expected, securely attached infants did not show an adrenocortical response. Regarding the traditionally defined insecurely attached groups, adrenocortical activation during the strange situation was found for the ambivalent group, but not for the avoidant one. Previous ndings of increased adrenocortical activity in disorganised infants could not be replicated. In line with previous ndings, adrenocortical activation was most prominent in insecure infants with high behavioural inhibition indicating the function of a secure attachment relationship as a social buffer against less adaptive temperamental dispositions. Additional analyses indicated that adrenocortical reactivity and behavioural distress were not based on common activation processes. Biobehavioural associations within the different attachment groups suggest that biobehavioural processes in securely attached infants may be different from those in insecurely attached and disorganised groups. Whereas a coping model may be applied to describe the biobehavioural organisation of secure infants, an arousal model explanation may be more appropriate for the other groups

Strange-Quark Contributions to Parity-Violating Asymmetries in the Forward G0 Electron-Proton Scattering Experiment
No full textWe have measured parity-violating asymmetries in elastic electron-proton scattering over the range of momentum transfers 0.12≤Q2≤1.0 GeV2. These asymmetries, arising from interference of the electromagnetic and neutral weak interactions, are sensitive to strange-quark contributions to the currents of the proton. The measurements were made at Jefferson Laboratory using a toroidal spectrometer to detect the recoiling protons from a liquid hydrogen target. The results indicate nonzero, Q2 dependent, strange-quark contributions and provide new information beyond that obtained in previous experiments.</p
