Art, Biography, Sexuality: Patrick Procktor and Keith Vaughan
No full textThis critical review forms a reflection on the research published within the following publications:
Patrick Procktor: Art and Life (Unicorn Press, 2010)
Keith Vaughan: The Mature Oils 1946-1977, (Sansom & Co., 2012)
The research is on two artists, Patrick Procktor (1936-2003), and Keith Vaughan (1912-1977). The monograph on Procktor – previously one of the least documented of the generation of artists who came to prominence in London in the Sixties – positions him in a history of art from which he had been notably absent. The research on Vaughan asserts a new reading of his work, one that is both deeper and more nuanced in its analysis of the ways in which personal experience and sexuality are encoded autobiographically within his work. Crucially, in both artists biography and work are symbiotically linked; the research therefore examines the links between life and art.
Revisionary in intent, the work examines trajectories of experience of gay British (or rather, English) artists in the twentieth century, artists who sought to express themselves and forge careers within the constraints of a heteronormative society, albeit one in which attitudes to sexuality were undergoing change. As gay men, both were constrained by the social mores of their times, and each used painting as a means to affirm personal and sexual identities. A key research interest is in the ways in which sexuality and persona are reflected in critical responses to the artist’s work: in Vaughan, Procktor and other gay male artists of the period. The writing on both Procktor and Vaughan examines the relationship between their personal and professional/artistic lives, framed within a broader socio-political and art historical context. It asserts the place of biography as a means to understand and form new readings of the work. The work adds substantially to the literature and wider discourse on post-war British painting and social history
Burdock Burr Breese, Jr.
No full textBurtis Burr Breese, Jr. (1905-1998) was the son of the psychologist and author Burtis Burr Breese, Sr. (1868-1939). Burtis Burr Breese, Jr. received his undergraduate degree from Princeton University (1927) and his medical degree from Harvard Medical School (1931). He interned at Johns Hopkins Hospital (1931/32) and the New York Hospital (1932/33). In 1933/34 Breese was made assistant resident pediatrician at Strong Memorial Hospital and assistant in pediatrics at the University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry (URSMD). He was appointed instructor in pediatrics in 1934. Between 1935 and 1952 held appointments in the Dept. of Pediatrics, during which period he also served in the U.S. Navy (1942-46). During his military service Breese became interested in meningococcal and streptococcal infections. He was appointed assistant professor of pediatrics at URSMD in 1952 and clinical associate professor in 1958. Breese was one of the co-founders of the Elmwood Pediatric Group (EPG), using his practice to conduct research on childhood infections. He was the first to culture strep throat in an office setting by constructing an incubator from parts of chicken hatching equipment. Breese and his partner at EPG, Frank A. Disney, M.D., received the Practitioner's Excellence Award from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Breese was the author of at least 69 articles and co-authored with his daughter Caroline Breese Hall the monograph Beta Hemolytic Streptococcal Diseases (Boston, 1978)

Bivarite burr distributions
No full textThe present work is organized into six chapters. Bivariate extension of
Burr system is the subject matter of Chapter II. The author proposes to introduce a general structure for the family in two dimensions and present some properties of such a system. Also in Chapter II some new distributions, which are bivariate
extension of univariate distributions in Burr (1942) is presented.. In Chapter III, concentrates on characterization problems of different forms of bivariate Burr system. A detailed study of the distributional properties of each member of the
Burr system has not been undertaken in literature. With this aim in mind in Chapter
IV is discussed with two forms of bivariate Burr III distribution. In Chapter V the author Considers the type XII, type II and type IX distributions.
Present work concludes with Chapter VI by pointing out the multivariate
extension for Burr system. Also in this chapter the concept of
multivariate reversed hazard rates as scalar and vector quantity is introduced.Cochin University of Science and TechnologyDepartment of Statistics, Cochin University of Science and Technolog

Vision senses number directly
No full textWe have recently suggested that numerosity is a primary sensory attribute, showing that it is strongly susceptible to adaptation. Here we use the Method of Single Stimuli (MSS) to show that observers can extract a running average of the numerosity of a succession of stimuli and hold it in mind for use as a standard of comparison for subsequent stimuli. Accuracy and precision of judgments are high and not reduced by potentially misleading variables like texture density or display area
