Haruki Murakami’s Deconstructive Reading of the Myth of Johnnie Walker and Colonel Sanders in Kafka on the Shore
No full textThis study aims to analyze how Haruki Murakami reads the real icons of Johnnie Walker and Colonel Sanders in Kafka on
the Shore deconstructively. First, we will focus on the signification process of the icon, which are to a great extent molded by advertisements, and then on the deconstruction of their signifieds. For the purpose, we will apply Barthes‟ idea of myth. We are also interested in revealing how Murakami constructs Johnnie Walker and Colonel Sanders to be characters in the novel. The analysis shows that the construction of the icons through advertisements leads to the creation of their mtyhs, and then Murakami reads them deconstructively to be opposite signifieds

Colonel Harland D. Sanders
No full textCol. Harland D. Sanders (\u2772 photo), who sold his Kentucky Fried Chicken chain to the liquor and food conglomerate Heublein in 1971, 9/11 won a 75,000-a-year salary as Goodwill Ambassador for the company. Heublin and Sanders countersued each other when Sanders and his wife opened Claudia Sanders, The Colonel\u27s Lady Dinner House back home in Shelbyville, Kentucky, and made plans to franchise the restaurant nationwide. The settlement also permits the Sanders to go forward with their venture as the Claudia Sanders Dinner House.https://digitalcommons.chapman.edu/upi_personalities/1030/thumbnail.jp

Recalls building cyclotron, Stuyvesant High School. Physics major, Columbia University (BA 1967): Mel Schwartz, Leon Lederman, Jack Steinberger, T. D. Lee; politically active. PhD, high-energy physics (MIT, 1971). Three years with Samuel C. C. Ting at DESY in Germany. Princeton postdoc with A. J. S. Smith. Brookhaven and Fermilab. Leaves for Los Alamos, 1978. To Brookhaven, 1984, kaon decay experiment.
Proposes neutrino experiment, Los Alamos. Meets Barry Barish, member DOE review committee. Discusses neutrino oscillation experiments. Involved with SSC [Superconducting Super Collider] in 1989 through Ting, who builds a detector for it. Troubles between Ting and Roy Schwitters, SSC director. Barish as co-leader of U.S. groups with Ting. Ting detector project falls through; Sanders and Barish pick it up. 1993, Congress cancels SSC. Barish returns to Caltech; Sanders to Los Alamos to GLAST [Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope]; investigates WWII human radiation experiments at Los Alamos.

Sulfur geochemistry of the Salitre Formation phosphorites
No full textComma-delimited version of table containing measured δ34S of CAS, PAS, CRS, and pyrite in phosphatic and non-phosphatic microfacies of the Salitre Formation.Sample ID includes abbreviation for stratigraphic column and locality, as well as numbers indicating stratigraphic height and lateral distance in a measured section (both in meters) from a datum for the given column, or depth in a drill core (in cm) from the top of the core. Powders collected from the same hand samples (within centimeters of each other) are indicated with lowercase letters a-c. Note: Aris = Aristeia, Min = Minotaur, Cer = Cerberus, FuroV = CBPM Core 5, and FuroX = CBPM Core 10. Locality/Section names, stratigraphic columns, and geographic location are provided in Sanders and Grotzinger (2021), Sanders et al. (2023), and Sanders et al. (submitted).Microfacies A = carbonate-cemented grainstone, B = carbonate-cemented grainstone adjacent to phospatic digitate stromatolite buildup, C = carbonate-cemented grainy inter-stromatolite fill, D = carbonate-cemented laminated mudstone, E = carbonate-cemented stromatolite laminae, and F = CFA-cemented stromatolite laminae. CAS = trace structural sulfate in the lattice of the indicated carbonate mineral(s), collected via protocols for trace sulfate extraction and purification, and measured via ICP-MS. PAS = trace structural sulfate in the lattice of the indicated phosphate mineral, collected via protocols for bulk phosphate-associated sulfate extraction, and measured via EA-IRMS. CRS = chromium-reducible sulfur, extracted and fixed as Ag2S from acid-insoluble residues, representative of sulfur in the lattice of pyrite measured via EA-IRMS. “Pyrite” and “pyrite/marcasite/pyrrhotite” refer to SIMS measurement of structural sulfur in individual crystals or aggregates of crystals. ‰ is expressed with respect to Vienna Canyon Diablo Troilite (VCDT).

Ergodicity of One-dimensional Systems Coupled to the Logistic Thermostat
No full textWe analyze the ergodicity of three one-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, with harmonic, quartic and Mexican-hat potentials, coupled to the logistic thermostat. As criteria for ergodicity we employ: the independence of the Lyapunov spectrum with respect to initial conditions; the absence of visual "holes" in two-dimensional Poincar\'e sections; the agreement between the histograms in each variable and the theoretical marginal distributions; and the convergence of the global joint distribution to the theoretical one, as measured by the Hellinger distance. Taking a large number of random initial conditions, for certain parameter values of the thermostat we find no indication of regular trajectories and show that the time distribution converges to the ensemble one for an arbitrarily long trajectory for all the systems considered. Our results thus provide a robust numerical indication that the logistic thermostat can serve as a single one-parameter thermostat for stiff one-dimensional systems
The sexual excitation/sexual inhibition inventory for women: psychometric properties
No full textThis is a post-print version of the article. The official published version can be found at the link below.This article reports on the development of a new questionnaire designed to assess the propensity for sexual excitation and sexual inhibition in women: The Sexual Excitation/Sexual Inhibition Inventory for Women (SESII-W). The theoretical model underlying this research, the Dual Control Model, postulates that sexual response depends on a balance between excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms and that individuals vary in their propensity for excitation and inhibition. This study describes the development and initial validation of the SESII-W in a sample of 655 women (M age, 33.9 years). Factor analysis identified eight factors and two higher-order factors: one related to sexual excitation and one to sexual inhibition. The measure demonstrated good test-retest reliability and discriminant and convergent validity. Our data underscore that a number of factors affect women's sexual arousal and these appear to be related to opposing processes of sexual excitation and sexual inhibition. Theoretical issues, possible gender differences, and the value of using qualitative data to inform questionnaire development are discussed.This study was funded, in part, by a grant from the Lilly Centre for Women‟s Health
