The Double-Vision of Imagination : An Appraisal of Surface and Substance in the Fiction of Henry James
No full text248 leaves. Advisor: Norman R. HaneThis study is concerned, primarily, with the faculty of the imagination, incidentally as a general concept, but chiefly in its application to the fictional and critical works
of Henry James. A number of these works have been consulted with the intention of deriving, and subsequently illustrating, a coherent inquiry into "the creative intelligence" as it fulfills its roles as a source of inspiration and a learning aid for the author, and as an ingredient of theme through which James urges his characters toward self-discovery and a wide
consciousness of the palpable and spiritual worlds outside themselves. Commensurate with this effort is the recognition (the implications of which are also shown) that the imagination, for James, was a double-chambered affair--one room containing the aesthetic "sense" and the other the capacity for a fine moral awareness--and that the "lucid reflector," the character most susceptible to enlightenment, must live simultaneously in both compartments.
The first chapter introduces and begins to trace the development of this dipolar imagination within one novel in particular, The Portrait of a Lady. This initial segment,
by enlisting a few philosophical assertions of
Immanuel Kant, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and the psychologist, Carl G. Jung, also attempts to suggest the depth and breadth of the Jamesian purview of human nature and its potential for emotional and intellectual growth.
The second chapter concentrates upon the aesthetic stem of the imagination and, with evidence gathered from five novels and one long story--The American, The Tragic Muse,
Roderick Hudson, The Princess Casamassima, The Europeans and "The Aspern Papers"--examines the possible uses and limitations of an appreciation of beauty and a strong sense of
form and order among external appearances.
The third and final chapter incorporates analyses of six additional novels--The Sacred Fount, The Wings of the Dove, What Maisie Knew, The Spoils of Poynton, The Ambassadors
and The Golden Bowl--with the purpose of determining what constructive and/or destructive elements reside within the Jamesian characters who evince an operative familiarity with :"the moral sense." In conjunction with this investigation
of the imagination's second chamber, an attempt is made to describe, through example and proposition, the causes and effects of the creative synthesis whereby Henry James, through
his characters and through the painstaking exercise of his craft, unites the love of external beauty and formal harmony with a compassionate affirmation of inner meaning and human responsibility
Saica apicalis Osborn & Drake 1915
No full text<i>Saica apicalis</i> Osborn & Drake, 1915 <p> <i>Saica apicalis</i> (Figs. 23–24), originally described from Guatemala (Osborn & Drake 1915), has been recorded from Panama, French Guiana, Brazil, and Argentina (McAtee & Malloch 1923; Villiers 1943; Wygodzinsky 1949; Froeschner 1988; Maldonado 1990; Melo & Coscarón 1994; Gil-Santana & Marques 2005). Elkins (1951) recorded this species from Texas, USA, based on a single specimen collected at light. However, Blinn (1990) considered the presence of <i>S. apicalis</i> in Texas could be a result of an accidental introduction of an exotic species, or a labeling error. This author also considered the species widely distributed in Central America south of Mexico, without further consideration of specimens examined or countries included.</p> <p> Gil-Santana & Marques (2005) related the variability of the posterior pronotal spines in <i>S. apicalis</i>, from long to imperceptible. The specimen studied here has moderately long posterior pronotal spines (Fig. 24).</p> <p> <b>New record.</b> Bolivia, El Carmen.</p> <p> <b>Material examined: BOLIVIA,</b> 1 male, <b>El Carmen</b>, Camargo, II-[1]955 [MZUSP].</p>Published as part of <i>Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., 2008, New records, and nomenclatural and biological notes on Reduviidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from Bolivia and Brazil, pp. 43-53 in Zootaxa 1785</i> on page 50, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/182460">10.5281/zenodo.182460</a>

Charles R. Phillips is an Associate Professor of Pharmacy Administration/Department Chair of Pharmacy Practice in the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences at Drake University. He can be contacted at [email protected] purpose of this study was to describe and compare current admission practices with anticipated changes in academic and nonacademic admission information sources for entry-level PharmD programs. An author-constructed survey collected data from pharmacy programs on current and anticipated admission processes. After follow-up efforts, a 92 percent response rate was achieved. Results suggest that a lack of significant changes can be expected between admission practices used for the Fall 1997 entering class and those anticipated for Fall 2000. Likewise, applicant qualities sought and information sources used to measure these qualities are not expected to change significantly prior to the Fall 2000 entering class. This study indicated that most pharmacy programs utilize academic and nonacademic admission information sources and that they feel they are meeting the adopted ACPE Standard and Guideline 16.3 which requires that pharmacy programs use information sources in the admission process other than academic information

Acceleration of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by Wind Stress along the Coast of Antarctica
No full textThe influence of wind forcing on variability of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is investigated using a series of eddy-permitting ocean–sea ice models. At interannual and decadal time scales the ACC transport is sensitive to both the mean strength of westerly winds along the ACC circumpolar path, consistent with zonal momentum balance theories, and sensitive to the wind stresses along the coast of Antarctica, consistent with the “free mode” theory of Hughes et al. A linear combination of the two factors explains differences in ACC transport across 11 regional quasi-equilibrium experiments. Repeated single-year global experiments show that the ACC can be robustly accelerated by both processes. Across an ensemble of simulations with realistic forcing over the second half of the twentieth century, interannual ACC transport variability owing to the free-mode mechanism exceeds that due to the zonal momentum balance mechanism by a factor of between 3.5 and 5 to one. While the ACC transport may not accelerate significantly owing to projected increases in along-ACC winds in future decades, significant changes in transport could still occur because of changes in the stress along the coast of Antarctica
Geographic profiling in Nazi Berlin: fact and fiction
No full textGeographic profiling uses the locations of connected crime sites to make inferences about the probable location of the offender’s ‘anchor point’ (usually a home, but sometimes a workplace). We show how the basic ideas of the method were used in a Gestapo investigation that formed the basis of a classic German novel about domestic resistance to the Nazis during the Second World War. We use modern techniques to re-analyse this case, and show that these successfully locate the Berlin home address of Otto and Elise Hampel, who had distributed hundreds of anti-Nazi postcards, after analysing just 34 of the 214 incidents that took place before their arrest. Our study provides the first empirical evidence to support the suggestion that analysis of minor terrorism-related acts such as graffiti and theft could be used to help locate terrorist bases before more serious incidents occur
