Audrey Heumann Regen \u2756 (BardCorps)
No full textAudrey Heumann Regen returned to Bard in 2001 for her 45th reunion. Regan was a high achieving high-school student with a nagging case of test anxiety who came to Bard for its unorthodox philosophy and strong arts curriculum. She remembers Buzz Gummere admitting her because of her wide range of interests. Her senior project advisor was Dorothy Dulles Bourne, and her project focused on the educational theories of John Dewey.
She recalls a tradition where Eleanor Roosevelt would come to Bard every Christmas season to read Dickens\u27 A Christmas Carol to the students. One year, a fellow student, a polio survivor, wanted to honor Mrs. Roosevelt by opening the door for her. Audrey remembers this as a poignant moment, watching Mrs. Roosevelt give him time because she knew the effort this took.
Regen remembers Bard as a much smaller place, with 250 students and only a few established buildings. She describes the quality as ‘homey’ or ‘hamish’ with students congregating at the little coffee shop in Stone Row. It was a very wholesome and healthy isolation, that you could concentrate without a great many distractions, on your studies. At the same time, she describes Bard\u27s reputation during her day as a wild place, with strange clothing, wild behaviors, and a great deal of sexual experimentation.
Campus jobs for Audrey included delivering the mail to faculty, and in one instance, tutoring a professor’s child in reading, Erica DeGre (now Rikki Ducornet).
Regen also remembers attending a synagogue in Poughkeepsie for Jewish holidays. Students later decided to hold ceremonies for Jewish High Holy Days on campus.
She continues to show support for the college saying: “Bard took a chance on me, and I would always be here for Bard.”
Audrey H. Regen passed away on May 30, 2017.https://digitalcommons.bard.edu/oral_hist/1031/thumbnail.jp

La representación de la muerte en la poesía de Jacobo Regen
No full textL'estudi desenvolupat en aquestes pàgines es proposa dos objectius principals: d'una banda, analitzar quines són les representacions de la mort detectades en la poesia de l'escriptor argentí Jacobo Regen i, de l'altra, reconstruir i caracteritzar el subjecte cultural present en la producció poètica de aquest autor. Per a això, es realitza la selecció d'un corpus de poemes presents en els seus dos llibres més reconeguts, Canción del angel y otros poemas (1971) i El vendedor de tierra (1984), en els quals es pot rastrejar la idea de la mort en el nivell fenotextual dels poemes mitjançant aspectes fònics, semàntics i també visuográficos. Es parteix així d'estudis previs al voltant de l'anàlisi discursiva de textos poètics (Bossi, 2001; Guzmán, 2013, 1992; García, 2015; Verdugo 1982) i es fa servir com a mètode de recerca la perspectiva sociocrítica (Cros, 1997; 2011). Aquest tipus d'aproximació possibilita la troballa d'un subjecte cultural heterogeni, travessat per diverses ideologies que posen de manifest la presència de múltiples maneres de representació de la mort en la poesia de l'autor estudiat, entre les quals destaca la que anomenem «microsemiòtica del trànsit» que es va construint al llarg de la seva producció literària.The study developed in these pages proposes two main objectives: on the one hand, to analyze which are the representations of death found in the poetry of the Argentinian writer Jacobo Regen and, on the other hand, to reconstruct and characterize the cultural subject present in the poetic production of this author. For this purpose, we selected a corpus of poems from his two most recognized books, Canción del angel y otros poemas (1971) and El vendedor de tierra (1984). In these books, the idea of death can be traced at the phenotextual level of the poems through phonic, semantic, and also visuographic aspects. We based on previous studies about the discursive analysis of poetic texts (Bossi, 2001; Guzmán, 2013, 1992; García, 2015; Verdugo 1982), and the socio-critical perspective as a research method (Cros, 1997; 2011). This approach allow us to find a heterogeneous cultural subject, traversed by various ideologies that reveal the presence of multiple ways of representing death in the poetry of the studied author. Among these representations of death, we distinguish one that we call «microsemiotics of transit» which is being built throughout his literary production.El estudio desarrollado en estas páginas se propone dos objetivos principales: por un lado, analizar cuáles son las representaciones de la muerte halladas en la poesía del escritor argentino Jacobo Regen y, por otro, reconstruir y caracterizar el sujeto cultural presente en la producción poética de este autor.

Regen: An object layout regenerator on large-scale production HPC systems
No full textThis article proposes an object layout regenerator called Regen which regenerates and removes the object layout dynamically to improve the read performance of applications. Regen first detects frequent access patterns from the I/O requests of the applications. Second, Regen reorganizes the objects and regenerates or preallocates new object layouts according to the identified access patterns. Finally, Regen removes or reuses the obsolete or regenerated object layouts as necessary. As a result, Regen accelerates access to objects by providing a flexible object layout. We implement Regen as a framework on top of Proactive Data Container (PDC) and evaluate it on Cori supercomputer, a production-scale HPC system, by using realistic HPC I/O benchmarks. The experimental results show that Regen improves the I/O performance by up to 16.92 × compared with an existing system
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Subcutaneous REGEN-COV Antibody Combination to Prevent Covid-19
No full textBACKGROUND REGEN-COV (previously known as REGN-COV2), a combination of the monoclonal antibodies casirivimab and imdevimab, has been shown to markedly reduce the risk of hospitalization or death among high-risk persons with coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Whether subcutaneous REGEN-COV prevents severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and subsequent Covid-19 in persons at high risk for infection because of household exposure to a person with SARS-CoV-2 infection is unknown. METHODS We randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, participants (=12 years of age) who were enrolled within 96 hours after a household contact received a diagnosis of SARSCoV- 2 infection to receive a total dose of 1200 mg of REGEN-COV or matching placebo administered by means of subcutaneous injection. At the time of randomization, participants were stratified according to the results of the local diagnostic assay for SARS-CoV-2 and according to age. The primary efficacy end point was the development of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection through day 28 in participants who did not have SARS-CoV-2 infection (as measured by reverse-transcriptase- quantitative polymerase-chain-reaction assay) or previous immunity (seronegativity). RESULTS Symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection developed in 11 of 753 participants in the REGEN-COV group (1.5%) and in 59 of 752 participants in the placebo group (7.8%) (relative risk reduction [1 minus the relative risk], 81.4%; P<0.001). In weeks 2 to 4, a total of 2 of 753 participants in the REGEN-COV group (0.3%) and 27 of 752 participants in the placebo group (3.6%) had symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection (relative risk reduction, 92.6%). REGEN-COV also prevented symptomatic and asymptomatic infections overall (relative risk reduction, 66.4%). Among symptomatic infected participants, the median time to resolution of symptoms was 2 weeks shorter with REGEN-COV than with placebo (1.2 weeks and 3.2 weeks, respectively), and the duration of a high viral load (>104 copies per milliliter) was shorter (0.4 weeks and 1.3 weeks, respectively). No dose-limiting toxic effects of REGEN-COV were noted. CONCLUSIONS Subcutaneous REGEN-COV prevented symptomatic Covid-19 and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection in previously uninfected household contacts of infected persons. Among the participants who became infected, REGEN-COV reduced the duration of symptomatic disease and the duration of a high viral load

Grundlagen zum Wasserwirtschaftlichen Rahmenplan Naab-Regen Schwermetallbelastung der Fliessgewaesser
No full textIn der vorliegenden Arbeit werden fuer verschiedene Schwermetalle die Belastungen von Naab, Regen und Vils sowohl im Wasser als auch im Sediment und in ausgewaehlten aquatischen Organismen untersucht. Als Belastungsquellen wurden neben den Klaeranlagen und den Direkteinleitern auch die geogene Hintergrundbelastung betrachtet. Waehrend die Fliessgewaesser je nach Metall durch eine maessige bis kritische, nur selten jedoch durch eine starke Belastung gekennzeichnet waren, sind zur Erfuellung der Anforderungen der fischereilichen Nutzung und des Artenschutzes insbesondere in Gewaessern der kristallinen Regionen im noerdlichen und oestlichen Bereich des Einzugsgebietes noch Verbesserungen anzustreben. Durch eine Verminderung der Belastungen im Bereich der direkten und indirekten Einleiter kann hierbei ein massgeblicher Beitrag zur Erfuellung der nutzungsbezogenen und oekologischen Qualitaetsziele geleistet werden. (orig.)Heavy metal concentrations in the water, sediments and selected aquatic organisms of the Naab, Regen and Vils rivers were analyzed. Water pollution levels were found to be medium to critical but rarely high, but the water quality should be improved in the interest of fisheries and diversity of species. Pollution sources are sewage plants, discharge of liquid effluents and background pollution. a reduction of the direct and indirect discharge of liquid effluents was found to be the most promising option for reducing pollutant concentrationsSIGLEAvailable from TIB Hannover: F00B1095 / FIZ - Fachinformationszzentrum Karlsruhe / TIB - Technische InformationsbibliothekDEGerman
WHICH CAME FIRST? EGGS AND CHICKEN IN BRAZIL: A NEW STUDY
No full textAlmost 42 years ago, Thurman e Fisher (1988), in a funny paper, using the Granger causality test, concluded, with American data that eggs Granger-cause chicken.In 2011, Shikida, Araujo Jr and Figueiredo (2011) replicated the test to Brazilian quarterly data (1987.I-2011.I) and found bi-causality. This article uses Brazilian monthly data (1987.1-2020.9) under three alternative versions of the Granger test: the classical Granger-causality test, the Toda-Yamamoto version of the same test and the nonlinear Granger-causality proposed by Vinod (2020a). We found evidence that, for Brazil, the bi-causality still prevails for eggs and chicken
PESQUISA, DESENVOLVIMENTO E INOVAÇÃO NO BRASIL: TRAJETÓRIA RECENTE E DESAFIOS
No full textThe general objective of the study was to analyze the current scenario of research, development, and innovation (RD&I) in Brazil. To achieve this goal, a bibliographic review and a survey of data on RD&I in Brazil and in the world was carried out. The Brazilian postgraduate system is continually expanding, but it has not yet reached a desirable level when compared to developed countries. In order for RD&I in Brazil to continue to grow sustainably, some actions are necessary: seeking solutions to concrete problems in society, building a long-term strategic agenda, increasing the number of master\u27s and doctoral scholarships offered, increased investments in research and development (R&D) made by the public and private sectors and reduction of regional inequalities in the country. The reduction in the amount of resources allocated to R&D may indicate a setback in relation to the advances achieved in previous years, which is very negative for the country\u27s development.
Despite these problems, Brazil has positive characteristics in the field of RD&I: growth in the number of master\u27s and doctoral courses, the increases in the granting of stricto sensu postgraduate degrees and in the number of private master\u27s and doctoral degrees and amount of scholarships awarded for engineering studies. In view of what was exposed in the work, it was possible to conclude that Brazil develops actions in favor of improving the innovation system, but needs to make changes in some crucial aspects in order to continue expanding with quality and in a sustainable manner.: O objetivo do estudo foi analisar o cenário atual de pesquisa, desenvolvimento e inovação (PD&I) no Brasil. Para isso, foi feita uma revisão bibliográfica e um levantamento de dados sobre PD&I no Brasil e no mundo. O sistema de pós-graduação brasileiro está em contínua expansão, mas ainda não atingiu um patamar desejável quando comparado com os países desenvolvidos. Para que o campo de PD&I no Brasil continue crescendo de forma sustentável, são necessárias algumas ações: busca de soluções para problemas concretos da sociedade, construção de uma agenda estratégica de longo prazo, aumento na quantidade de bolsas de mestrado e doutorado ofertadas, elevação dos investimentos em pesquisa e desenvolvimento (P&D) realizados pelos setores público e privado e redução das desigualdades regionais no país. A redução da quantidade de recursos destinados a P&D pode indicar um retrocesso em relação aos avanços conquistados em anos anteriores, o que é muito negativo para o desenvolvimento do país. Apesar desses problemas, o Brasil possui características positivas no campo da PD&I: crescimento da quantidade de cursos de mestrado e doutorado, aumento na concessão de títulos de pós-graduação stricto sensu, elevação na quantidade de mestrados e doutorados privados e quantidade de bolsas concedidas para estudo das engenharias. Diante do que foi exposto no trabalho, foi possível concluir que o Brasil desenvolve ações em prol da melhoria do sistema de inovação, mas precisa realizar mudanças em alguns aspectos cruciais para continuar se expandindo com qualidade e de forma sustentável
