Dora Marsden
No full textDora MarsdenFeminist, publisher, and author. Marsden trained as a teacher. Her commitment to the suffrage movement led to her founding of The Freewoman in 1911. With its title change to The Egoist in 1914, the review devoted itself more to literature. Under Marsden's editorship, it published A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in 1914 and 1915, and several episodes from Ulysses in 1919 as well as articles on JJ by Ezra Pound and others. In the 1920s, Marsden became a recluse, devoting herself to writing philosophical works, and in later decades was institutionalized with severe depression. William Brockman</p

William Marsden, The Scholar Behind The History of Sumatra
No full textWilliam Marsden, author of The History of Sumatra was above all, a philologist and his linguistic theses were the lynchpin of all his work, including the History. In his 1782 ‘Remarks on Sumatran and cognate Languages’ paper Marsden made the first scholarly identification of the Malayo-Polynesian language family based on sound linguistic principles. It was the first correct identification of any language family still recognised today. Yet, from the mid19th century Marsden’s linguistic achievements have been ignored, underrated, or misappropriated. This is largely because of discontinuities in the transmission of the history of linguistics. Many advances in the field of philology have been misattributed and while Schlegel, Grimm and Bopp have been seen as the ‘fathers of the new philology’, knowledge of British linguistic scholars, especially Marsden, slipped from the West’s communal memory. Despite moves in recent years to reinstate Britain in the received history of philological knowledge, Marsden is still overlooked or damned with faint praise
Spirobranchus giganteus (serpulidae, polychaeta, annelida): neurosecretion, regeneration, larvae rearing, ecology
No full textSpirobranchus sisanteus is a tropical serpulid (Annelida, Polychaeta, Serpulidae, sub-family Serpulines) (Grasse, 1959), of common occurrence throughout the British West Indies. The species has been reported from the Caribbean by Ehlers (1887) and Hullin (1923) and recently vas collected in Jamaica and Barbados by Marsden and desoribed by her in some detail (Marsden, 1900). The author became interested in two aspects of Spirobranchus giganteus: neurosecretion, and the eoological diversity shown by the Barbados population of the serpulid. Neurosecretion in the invertebrates is a relatively new field of research, of which polychaete neurosecretory investigation is a thriving branch. However, there was found in the literature only one reference to neurosecretion in serpulids. Studies to determine whether Spirobranohus sisanteus exhibits neurosecretory activity therefore held great interest for the author.f
Jonathan Edwards a life
No full text"Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is a towering figure in American history. A controversial theologian and the author of the famous sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, he ignited the momentous Great Awakening of the eighteenth century." "In this biography, Jonathan Edwards emerges as both a great American and a brilliant Christian. George M. Marsden evokes the world of colonial New England in which Edwards was reared - a frontier civilization at the center of a conflict between Native Americans, French Catholics, and English Protestants. Drawing on newly available sources, Marsden demonstrates how these cultural and religious battles shaped Edwards' life and thought. Marsden reveals Edwards as a complex thinker and human being who struggled to reconcile his Puritan heritage with the secular, modern world emerging out of the Enlightenment. In this, Edwards' life anticipated the deep contradictions of our American culture."--BOOK JACKET
Marsden Hartley: Race, Region, and Nation
No full textAt the vanguard of renewed interest in Maine\u27s influential early modernist Marsden Hartley (1877-1943), author Donna M. Cassidy appraises the contemporary social, political, and economic realities that shaped Hartley\u27s landmark late art. During the late 1930s and early 1940s, Hartley strove to represent the distinctive subjects of his native region--the North Atlantic folk, the Maine coast, and Mount Katahdin--producing work that demands an interpretive approach beyond art history\u27s customary biographical, stylistic, and thematic methodologies.https://digitalcommons.usm.maine.edu/facbooks/1008/thumbnail.jp

Establishment of a UK-wide network to facilitate the acquisition of quality assured FDG-PET data for clinical trials in lymphoma
No full textBackground: Multicentre trials are required to determine how [fluorine-18]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography imaging can guide cancer treatment. Consistency in quality control (QC), scan acquisition and reporting is mandatory for high-quality results, which are comparable across sites. Methods: A national positron emission tomography (PET) clinical trials network (CTN) has been set up with a 'core laboratory' to coordinate QC and interpret scans. The CTN is involved in trials in Hodgkin's lymphoma [Randomised Phase III trial to determine the role of FDG-PET Imaging in Clinical Stages IA/IIA Hodgkin's Disease (RAPID) and Randomised Phase III trial to assess response adapted therapy using FDG-PET imaging in patients with newly diagnosed, advanced Hodgkin lymphoma (RATHL)] and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [Blinded evaluation of prognostic value of FDG-PET after 2 cycles of chemotherapy in diffuse large B-cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, a sub-study of the R-CHOP-21 vs R-CHOP-14 trial (R-CHOP PET substudy)]. Approval to join requires scanner validation and agreement to follow a standard QC protocol. Scans are transferred to the core laboratory and reported centrally according to predetermined criteria. Results: The qualification procedure was carried out on 15 scanners. All scanners were able to demonstrate the necessary quantitative accuracy, and following modification of image reconstruction where necessary, scanners demonstrated comparable recovery coefficients (RCs) indicating similar performance. The average RC (±1 standard deviation) was 0.56 ± 0.095 for the 13-mm sphere. Reports from 444 of 473 (94%) patients in RAPID and 67 of 73 (92%) patients in RATHL were available for randomisation of therapy. Conclusions: The CTN has enabled consistent quality assured PET results to be obtained from multiple centres in time for clinical decision making. The results of trials will be significantly strengthened by this system. © The Author 2010. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the European Society for Medical Oncology.
