Thomas Slater to General Jacob Morris, October 3, 1828
No full textThomas Slater wrote from Lebanon, NY to Jacob Morris, addressed to Butternutts, Ostego County, NY to inform him of the death of Peter Kean, his son-in-law, the day before. Attached to this letter is another one dated May 25, 1931 it is addressed to Christine Griffin Kean Roosevelt, Peter\u27s granddaughter, from J.C. Pearson.

Slater v. Baker and Stapleton (C.B. 1767): Unpublished Monographs by Robert D. Miller
No full textThe Slater case is the first case imposing liability on a surgeon for performing a procedure without consent. This book reviews what happened, what was presented in court, and why they are so different. It also reviews the context of consent principles and medical experimentation and law of the time. It also provides biographical notes on the persons related to the case. It also reviews how the Slater case has been used in medical, ethical, legal and other publications

Presence 2005: the eighth annual international workshop on presence, 21-23 September, 2005 University College London (Conference proceedings)
No full textOVERVIEW (taken from the CALL FOR PAPERS)
Academics and practitioners with an interest in the concept of (tele)presence are invited to submit their work for presentation at PRESENCE 2005 at University College London in London, England, September 21-23, 2005.
The eighth in a series of highly successful international workshops, PRESENCE 2005 will provide an open discussion forum to share ideas regarding concepts and theories, measurement techniques, technology, and applications related to presence, the psychological state or subjective perception in which a person fails to accurately and completely acknowledge the role of technology in an experience, including the sense of 'being there' experienced by users of advanced media such as virtual reality.
The concept of presence in virtual environments has been around for at least 15 years, and the earlier idea of telepresence at least since Minsky's seminal paper in 1980. Recently there has been a burst of funded research activity in this area for the first time with the European FET Presence Research initiative. What do we really know about presence and its determinants? How can presence be successfully delivered with today's technology? This conference invites papers that are based on empirical results from studies of presence and related issues and/or which contribute to the technology for the delivery of presence. Papers that make substantial advances in theoretical understanding of presence are also welcome. The interest is not solely in virtual environments but in mixed reality environments. Submissions will be reviewed more rigorously than in previous conferences. High quality papers are therefore sought which make substantial contributions to the field.
Approximately 20 papers will be selected for two successive special issues for the journal Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments.
PRESENCE 2005 takes place in London and is hosted by University College London. The conference is organized by ISPR, the International Society for Presence Research and is supported by the European Commission's FET Presence Research Initiative through the Presencia and IST OMNIPRES projects and by University College London
James Slater Baker
No full textPhotographic copy of a painting of James Slater Baker, early pioneer of Fannin County, TX. He was born in Ashe County, NC, on August 20, 1791. He first settled near Lexington, Henderson County, TN, but moved in 1837 with his large family to Fannin County in the Republic of Texas where he soon became active as a county official and in the Masonic Lodge. He was elected Senior Warden at an organization of the Constantine Lodge No. 13 on November 3, 1840; later elected to Worshipful Master (John B. Denton was also one of the organizers of this lodge). J. S. Baker married Susannah Crutcher who was born in Franklin County, VA, on May 22, 1798; died Fannin County, TX, October 21, 1858. Their eight children included William C. Baker (1823-1903) who married Sarah Elizabeth Denton (1826-1894), daughter of John B. Denton. J. S. Baker died in Fannin County, TX, on December 6, 1870, and is buried at Allen's Chapel. This picture is a copy of the original owned by Constantine Lodge No. 13, Bonham, TX
How Can I Speak of Madness? Narrative and Identity in Memoirs of ‘Mental Illness’
No full textIn this paper I examine some of the implications, possibilities, and dangers of
addressing the experience of ‘madness’ or ‘mental illness’1 within
autobiographical narrative: in particular, I ask how madness can be narrated, or
spoken. I suggest that an attentive reading of narrative form, as the outworking
and evidence of a way of knowing and thinking about the world, may reveal
authorial attempts to manage and stretch the constraints inherent in
conventional narrative’s tendency toward linearity and resolution, a tendency
which is, arguably, inimical to the expression of madness. Insinuated in this
process of working with form is a particular narrative mode of existence which
has implications for the psychodynamics of living with mental distress. With
reference to the work of Sarah Kofman, I propose the idea that a ‘writing
without power’ may be a salutary way to address chronic distress, and to
reformulate identity in the light of biographical disruption
Unified treatment of complete orthonormal sets of nonrelativistic, quasirelativistic and relativistic sets of spinor wave functions, and Slater spinor orbitals in coordinate, momentum and four-dimensional spaces
No full textUsing the properties of tensor spherical harmonics introduced by the author in previous paper (Guseinov, Phys Lett A 372: 44, 2007) and complete orthonormal scalar basis sets of nonrelativistic psi(alpha)-exponential type orbitals (psi(alpha)-ETO), phi(alpha)-momentum space orbitals (phi(alpha)-MSO) and z(alpha)-hyperspherical harmonics (z(alpha)-HSH) for particles with spin s = 0 the new analytical relations for the quasirelativistic and relativistic spinor wave functions and Slater spinor orbitals in coordinate, momentum and four-dimensional spaces are derived, where a = 1, 0,-1,-2,.... The 2-component quasirelativistic and 4-component relativistic spinor wave functions obtained are complete without the inclusion of the continuum. The relativistic spinor wave function sets and Slater spinor orbitals are expressed through the corresponding quasirelativistic spinor wave functions and Slater spinor orbitals, respectively. The analytical formulas for overlap integrals over quasirelativistic and relativistic Slater spinor orbitals with the same screening constants in coordinate space are also derived
