Richards is author of more than 60 fiction novels focusing on family and romance. Many of her novels feature complex characterizations and in-depth explorations of social issues, a result of her training and experience as a family counselor. Some of her popular series include Happiness Key, Ministry is Murder, Shenandoah Album, and Men of Midnight. In 2004 Richards began a series of single-title novels focused on quilting. The novels were inspired by her work as a volunteer teaching quilting to residents of the Arkansas Ozark Mountains while she was an undergraduate student at Florida State University. In 1994 she earned the RITA Award, the most prominent award given throughout the genre of romantic fiction, from the Romance Writers of America. She also earned a career achievement award from Romantic Times magazine and has been interviewed on both television and radio and quoted in Reader\u27s Digest
The Lieder of Emilie Mayer (1812-1883)
No full textabstract: ABSTRACT
Emilie Mayer (1812-1883) was a prolific composer whose musical works, which encompassed eight symphonies, four overtures, an opera, dozens of sonatas, eight string quartets, solo piano works, and nearly 130 songs for solo voice or vocal quartet, were performed in the foremost concert halls in Berlin and across Germany. She studied with lauded teachers: Carl Loewe (1796-1869), Adolph Bernhard Marx (1795-1866), and Wilhelm Wieprecht (1802-1872). Her talent was applauded by audiences and critics wrote favorably, despite their reservations about women composers. However, even with this unusual pedigree, Mayer’s works nearly disappeared from concert stages after her death. How did this happen? This study aims to answer this question and will delve into Emilie Mayer’s life and works in context with the prejudices against female composers at the time, in order to determine how those biases have shaped the classical canon. Included is an in-depth stylistic analysis of Mayer’s surviving seven Lieder, along-side comparisons to similar works of other composers. In addition, appendices present Mayer’s remaining Lieder in a new, modernized edition, with selected songs transposed for better accessibility for lower voices. Relative lack of female representation in modern-day concert halls and music history books correlates to previous misconceptions of female composers. Studying the works of Emilie Mayer will support her addition to the classical repertoire, help correct the male-gendered canon that persists, and help modern female composers realize their history is not confined to a footnote.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Music 202
Experimental Mathematics applied to the STUDY OF NON-LINEAR RECURRENCES
No full textIn this thesis we study three topics within the broad fi eld of nonlinear recurrences. First we will consider global asymptotic stability in rational recurrences. A recurrence is globally asymptotically stable when the sequence it produces converges to an equilibrium solution given any initial conditions. Up to now, this topic has not been studied from an algorithmic perspective. We develop an algorithm that takes as input a rational recurrence relation conjectured to be globally asymptotically stable, and, if it is, outputs a rigorous proof of its stability. We apply this algorithm to many speci c rational recurrences. Secondly, we study a three-parameter family of rational recurrences that produce sequences of integers. We apply two methods to prove the integrality of these sequences. We fi rst show that some of the sequences also satisfy a linear recurrence. In order to establish integrality of the entire family we make use of the Laurent phenomenon. Finally, we develop a new concept that generalizes the notion of a recurrence. Instead of producing a single sequence, we produce in finitely many sequences from one set of initial conditions. We will study two families of this type of generalized recurrences that produce rational numbers when complex numbers are expected. We also observe exponential sequences being produced by some of these generalized recurrences.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Emilie Ann Hoga

A Black Feminist Interpretation: Reading Life, Pedagogy, and Emilie
No full textAbstract
This article examines the ways in which black feminism—as a concept, an applied theory, and a safety net—functions as a critical social theory designed to assist students in understanding the multiple ways that black and brown women are marginalized through institutionalized structures and practices. Drawing heavily upon the work of Patricia Hill Collins, this article defines and explains black feminist critical pedagogy arguing that it is a critical knowledge project that generates knowledge and creates theories that allow for analysis, critique, and evaluation of how black women are situated as social agents in society. Using the pocket diaries of Emilie Frances Davis, a 19th century freeborn woman, as both a teaching tool and a forensic historical investigatory tool, students will examine the ideas of black feminism and actively apply it as a lens to interpret essays, articles, video clips, and music lyrics. The lesson plan is also designed to provide students with foundational exposure and meaning making experiences in black feminist thought as research tool and as a system of thought for reading and interpreting texts and the social world. Additionally, this essay includes a second lesson plan developed by Karsonya Wise Whitehead (the author of Notes from a Colored Girl) that builds upon the author’s work to apply a black feminist lens to the work of Emilie Frances Davis.</jats:p
‘Look Again’: Indeterminacy and Contemporary British Drama
No full textThe integration into conceptual art of techniques inspired by Fluxus (the international aggregate of artists who saw indeterminacy as imaginatively and linguistically enabling) has, in turn, given rise to a specific line in British playwriting since the mid-1990s, as evidenced in plays by Martin Crimp, Sarah Kane, and Tim Crouch which gesture towards conceptual art, performance art, and the event score. In this article Emilie Morin brings to light the affinities between this artistic moment in contemporary British theatre and the international avant-garde. She discusses the shared interest of Crimp, Kane, and Crouch in indeterminacy and the fusion between artistic media, paying particular attention to Crouch's redefinition of the status of the modern artwork in his play for galleries England (2007). Critical recognition of the experimental mode in which these playwrights operate has remained subsumed under a non-specific appreciation of their relationship to conceptual art, leaving important questions of form and legacy unaddressed. Here, the proximity between this marginal trend in British playwriting and developments in experimental music and performance art exploring ideas of indeterminacy is highlighted, and the contemporary problematization of performance as event and concept is reconfigured in relation to the legacies of Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, and Fluxus. Emilie Morin is Lecturer in the Department of English and Related Literature at the University of York and the author of Samuel Beckett and the Problem of Irishness (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009). Her research interests lie in European modernism and the avant-garde.</jats:p
Fotografier i Emilie Demant Hatts bok Med Lapperne i Højfjeldet: Fotografiske møter, biografiske inskripsjoner og "våre" historier
No full textArtikkelen utforsker fotografier tatt av den danske kunstneren, fotografen og forfatteren Emilie Demant Hatt
(1873–1958). Fotografiene ble første gang publisert i 1913 i boka Med lapperne i højfjeldet. Gjennom ulike perspektiver
på bildene viser artikkelen hvordan det er mulig å se forbi den koloniale «overflaten» til bilder tatt av denne periodens
reisende og etnografer, og hvordan repatriering og kunstneriske reappropriasjoner kan aktivere bildenes innhold på
nye måter.
This article explores photographs taken by the Danish artist, photographer and author Emilie Demant Hatt
(1873–1958), first published in 1913 in the book Med Lapperne i Højfjeldet. Taking on different perspectives, these
images show how it is possible to look behind the colonial «surface» of images taken by former ethnographers and
travellers, and how repatriation and artistic reappropriations can activate the images’ content in new ways
G. F. Watts
No full textG. F. Watts was one of the major artistic figures of the nineteenth century. In this work published in 1905, only a year after Watts' death, Emilie Barrington (1841–1933) reflects on the close friendship she and her husband had with the renowned artist. Her aim in writing her volume of reminiscences was to accurately record her knowledge of Watts' life. She describes her first impressions, when she first met him in Dante Gabriel Rossetti's studio. Chapters also cover Watts' aims as an artist, his relationships and his genius. This fascinating book is highly illustrated throughout, including Watts' sketches, symbolical paintings and portraits. The reader will gain an intriguing insight into the life and work of this complex character, widely considered to be the greatest painter of the Victorian age.

Intracellular proteins targeting with bi-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles
No full textPour certaines applications biomédicales, avoir des nanoparticules magnétiques (NPM) capables de cibler spécifiquement des protéines intracellulaires ou des organites pourrait s'avérer déterminant. Néanmoins, en contact avec les cellules, la plupart des NPM sont internalisées par endocytose et se retrouvent piégées dans les vésicules endosomales. Ce phénomène empêche les particules de cibler des constituants intracellulaires et limite leur capacité d'échauffement par hyperthermie magnétique. Dans ce travail de doctorat, une stratégie originale reposant sur la double fonctionnalisation de surface des NPM avec des peptides polyhistidines (PPH) et des anticorps est présentée. Les PPH sont des espèces induisant l'échappement endosomal des particules par effet d'éponge à protons. Les anticorps permettent alors le ciblage spécifique de protéines par les NPM une fois le cytosol atteint. Pour y parvenir, des NPM de type cœur-coquille sphériques γ-Fe2O3@SiO2 au diamètre inférieur à 50 nm ont été fonctionnalisées par des molécules zwitterioniques ainsi que des fonctions thiols à leur surface. Ces dernières constituent le point d'ancrage des PPH par un lien disulfure. En effet, la diffusion des NPM serait limitée par les interactions entre les PPH et d'autres composants intracellulaires. Cette contrainte a ainsi été évitée par cette fonctionnalisation labile, permettant le relargage du peptide une fois les particules dans le cytosol, celui-ci constituant un environnement réducteur. Une seconde fonctionnalisation des NPM avec des anticorps dirigés spécifiquement contre des protéines cibles a été réalisée, cette fois-ci par un lien non clivable afin que les NPM puissent cibler spécifiquement les protéines intracellulaires une fois le cytosol atteint. Le projet dans lequel s'inscrit cette thèse vise à cibler les protéines thermosensibles HSP27. Dans une première démonstration de ce concept, des NPM bifonctionnalisées par des PPH et des anticorps anti-HSP27 ont efficacement ciblé les protéines intracellulaires d'intérêt, ouvrant les portes à de nouvelles applications biomédicales des NPM.For some applications in nanomedecine, it can be interesting for magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to specifically target intracellular proteins or organelles. However, when in contact with cells, most MNPs are internalized through endocytosis and remain stuck inside small intracellular vesicles called endosomes. This phenomenon prevents MNPs to target intracellular components and limit their heating power by magnetic hyperthermia. In this thesis, we present an original strategy that relies on an original bifunctionalization of MNPs with polyhistidines peptides (PHP), allowing the endosomal escape of the MNPs through proton sponge effect, and antibodies, allowing for the first time the targeting of specific proteins once MNPs reached the cytosol. In order to do that, γ-Fe2O3@SiO2 MNPs with diameter smaller than 50 nm were functionalized with zwitterionic moieties as well as with thiol groups at their surface. These sulfhydryl groups were used to graft PHP through a labile link, allowing the peptide to be detached from the surface of the MNPs once in the cytosol which is a reductive environment. This severing avoids any interaction between these peptides and intracellular components, which could hinder the MNPs' intracellular mobility. A second functionalization of the MNPs with targeting antibodies through a non-labile link was then performed so the MNPs can target specific intracellular proteins once the cytosol has been reached. In a first demonstration of this concept, HSP27 thermosensitive proteins were targeted inside the cytosol. MNPs functionalized with both PHP and anti-HSP27 antibodies were able to efficiently target the intracellular protein of interest, opening the door to new biomedical applications of MNPs in cellular engineering
