Maxine Crawley and Linda Patton
No full textThis 1963 photograph shows Maxine Crawley and Linda Patton winning the Delta Airlines Award trophy at the Mountain Youth Jamboree. Founder and director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree, Hubert H. Hayes (1901-1964) auditioned and directed youth to perform in folk dance, music, and folk and ballad singing. The jamboree was held in the Asheville City Auditorium (now known as Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) from 1948 to 1973, and Hayes’ wife, Leona Trantham Hayes (1913-1989) continued to direct the program after his death in 1964. Hubert Hayes was an author, playwright, and alumni of Duke University
Semilinear clannish algebras
No full textBennett-Tennenhaus R, Crawley-Boevey WW. Semilinear clannish algebras. Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society . 2024;129(4): e12637.We define a class of associative algebras generalizing 'clannish algebras', as introduced by the second author, but also incorporating semilinear structure, like a skew polynomial ring. Clannish algebras generalize the well-known 'string algebras' introduced by Butler and Ringel. Our main result is the classification of finite-dimensional indecomposable modules for these new algebras
‘On the brink’ or ‘designing the future’? Where next for Lifelong Learning Initial Teacher Education?
No full textThis article highlights and analyses the challenges immediately facing Lifelong Learning Initial Teacher Education (LL ITE) in the UK which have arisen as a result of the policies and actions of the UK Government. The context of the LL sector for teachers and teacher education is explored, and how this has led to a restrictive culture of teacher professionalism. Using research carried out by the author, the article profiles LL Teacher Educators, their working context and values, and their attempts to model a more expansive professionalism. Evidence of the recent achievements of LL ITE is analysed and the dangers to these achievements presented by recent government changes and proposals are highlighted. The article concludes that LL ITE is ‘on the brink’ in terms of survival, and proposes how LL Teacher Education can move forward into a more optimistic future
A New Approach to Simple Modules for Preprojective Algebras
No full textCrawley-Boevey WW, Hubery A. A New Approach to Simple Modules for Preprojective Algebras. ALGEBRAS AND REPRESENTATION THEORY. 2020;23(4):1849-1860.The work of the first author on the moment map for representations of quivers included a classification of the possible dimension vectors of simple modules for deformed preprojective algebras. That classification was later used to solve an additive analogue of the Deligne-Simpson problem. The last step in the proof of the classification involved some general position arguments; here we give a new approach which avoids such arguments

Introduction
No full textCopyright © 2020 The Author(s). This chapter provides a detailed contextualising for the book, situating the collection in a broad theoretical and historical framework. It references the meetings that brought together experts in dance and visual arts, which led to the book. The discussion outlines the two main themes in the book that are explored by the writers—the subjective, lived relations with objects and the social sphere, and the different approaches to absence, visibility and resistance. Drawing on diverse theories and viewpoints, the introduction outlines each chapter, describing how the writers open up new thinking about dance and visual art, and the connections between each discipline’s discourses and practices
Identification of autophosphorylation sites in eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase
No full texteEF2K [eEF2 (eukaryotic elongation factor 2) kinase] phosphorylates and inactivates the translation elongation factor eEF2. eEF2K is not a member of the main eukaryotic protein kinase superfamily, but instead belongs to a small group of so-called ?-kinases. The activity of eEF2K is normally dependent upon Ca2+ and calmodulin. eEF2K has previously been shown to undergo autophosphorylation, the stoichiometry of which suggested the existence of multiple sites. In the present study we have identified several autophosphorylation sites, including Thr348, Thr353, Ser366 and Ser445, all of which are highly conserved among vertebrate eEF2Ks. We also identified a number of other sites, including Ser78, a known site of phosphorylation, and others, some of which are less well conserved. None of the sites lies in the catalytic domain, but three affect eEF2K activity. Mutation of Ser78, Thr348 and Ser366 to a non-phosphorylatable alanine residue decreased eEF2K activity. Phosphorylation of Thr348 was detected by immunoblotting after transfecting wild-type eEF2K into HEK (human embryonic kidney)-293 cells, but not after transfection with a kinase-inactive construct, confirming that this is indeed a site of autophosphorylation. Thr348 appears to be constitutively autophosphorylated in vitro. Interestingly, other recent data suggest that the corresponding residue in other ?-kinases is also autophosphorylated and contributes to the activation of these enzymes [Crawley, Gharaei, Ye, Yang, Raveh, London, Schueler-Furman, Jia and Cote (2011) J. Biol. Chem. 286, 2607-2616]. Ser366 phosphorylation was also detected in intact cells, but was still observed in the kinase-inactive construct, demonstrating that this site is phosphorylated not only autocatalytically but also in trans by other kinases
