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

No full textHorner Syndrome from a Pediatric Otolaryngology Perspective.
No full text© The Author(s) 2019. Introduction: Horner syndrome is described as the clinical triad of miosis, ptosis, and anhidrosis. In pediatric patients the condition may be congenital or acquired from neoplastic, infectious or traumatic conditions, including birth trauma. Most cases of pediatric Horner syndrome present first to a pediatric ophthalmologist however since the neural pathways involve the cervical sympathetic chain otolaryngologists should understand the pathophysiology to avoid delay in management of potentially malignant cases. Objectives: To aid otolaryngologists in recognizing and managing pediatric Horner syndrome by describing 3 unique cases from malignant, traumatic and/or congenital causes. Methods: Case report of 3 pediatric patients with Horner syndrome presenting to our pediatric otolaryngology department. Results: Case #1 is 5-month-old female with ptosis and a left level II 1.5 cm neck mass. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the mass displacing the common carotid artery and excisional biopsy revealed a poorly differentiated neuroblastoma. Case #2 is a 9-year-old female with anisocoria appearing after suffering a severe playground injury. Case #3 is a 3-year-old-male who developed ptosis and anisocoria following re-excision of a recurrent cervical lymphatic malformation. Conclusion: Pediatric Horner syndrome may be a benign finding that is easily overlooked but may reflect a serious underlying condition. Otolaryngologists should be aware of the pathophysiology and differential diagnosis, including malignant causes, to appropriately manage patients

Longus Coli Inflammation as an Uncommon Cause of Horner\u27s Syndrome
No full textThe oculosympathetic pathway originates in the hypothalamus, descends through the brainstem, exits the cervicothoracic junction, ascends up and over the lung, and along the carotid to the sudomotor fibers of the face, the pupillary dilators, and muller\u27s muscle. Lesions at any point along this chain may cause ptosis, miosis, anhidrosis, classically known as Horner\u27s Syndrome. The longus colli are weak cervical flexor muscles which abut the ascending sympathetic ganglia. Here we present a case of nonspecific longus colli inflammation likely secondary to motor vehicle accident as an uncommon cause of Horner\u27s Syndrome. Longus colli injury during cervical spinal injury as well as a suspected paraspinal mass of the longus colli have both been previously reported. To the author\u27s knowledge, this is the first case of bilateral asymmetric longus colli inflammation causing Horner\u27s syndrome
Investigations with Monte Carlo Tree Search for finding better multivariate Horner schemes (abstract)
No full textAfter the defeat of the human chess World Champion in 1997, many researchers turned their attention to the oriental game of Go. The minimax approach, so successful in chess, did not work in Go. Instead, around 2006 a new method was developed: MCTS (Monte Carlo Tree Search). The success of MCTS in Go caused researchers to apply the method to other domains. In this article we report on experiments with MCTS for finding improved orderings for multivariate Horner schemes, a basic method for evaluating polynomials. We report on initial results that typically improve existing methods by a factor of two. In addition, we continue with an investigation into two parameters that guide the MCTS search. It will be interesting to see if these insights can be transferred to other domains
The Laurent–Horner method for validated evaluation of Chebyshev expansions
No full textWe develop a simple two-step algorithm for enclosing Chebyshev expansions whose cost is linear in terms of the polynomial degree. The algorithm first transforms the expansion from Chebyshev to the Laurent basis and then applies the interval Horner method. It outperforms the existing eigenvalue-based methods if the degree is high or the evaluation point is close to the boundaries of the domainJared L.
