Lister-Level by Giver-Level.
No full textThis shows that 4-Givers almost always have Lister-Levels above their Giver-Level, and non-, 1-, 2-, and 3-Givers mostly don’t do as well. Each small, black-bordered point represents an individual child. The larger, transparent red and teal dots represent the bootstrapped median Lister-Level corresponding to a particular Giver-Level and educational status (color-coded).</p
A sojourn in Paris 1824-25: sex and sociability in the manuscript writings of Anne Lister (1791-1840)
No full textThis thesis examines the day to day practices that constituted Anne Lister's (1791-1840) sexuality and sociability within the range of her writings, as well as her society. Anne's writings were a detailed account, spanning her lifetime, of her own love and relationships with the 'fairer sex' (Whitbread 1988, 145). Anne's sociality, seen in her correspondence and plain handwritten journal entries, has been explored by Muriel Green in Miss Lister of Shibden Hall and Jill Liddington in Female Fortune and Nature's Domain (Green 1992; Liddington 1998; 2003). As a gentlewoman of adequate means, Anne has garnered some attention from women's historians interested in her agency within an early nineteenth century social and historical context. Anne's sexual identity has been extensively analysed over the past nearly twenty years by lesbian feminists, queer theorists, women's historians and historians of sexuality concerned with the history and development of modern Western female homosexuality and gender. The source for theorising Anne's sexuality has been the edited selections of the crypted journal entries, published by Helena Whitbread in I Know My Own Heart and No Priest but Love (Whitbread 1988; 1992). However, many analyses deal either with the theorisation of Anne's sexuality or her sociality; the theoretical difficulty with reconciling these categories has troubled the analysis of her complex subjectivity. Drawing upon the archival materials, I have used an interdisciplinary feminist approach to analyse the sexual and social processes of Anne's everyday interactions in her writings. Taking the seven month period of the sojourn to Paris in 1824-25, I have focused upon Anne's textual practices within her journal volume and letters during her residence in Paris, her social practices with the other guests at the guesthouse 24 Place Vendome and her sexual practices with her lover, the widow Mrs. Maria Barlow. The journal volumes and correspondence are a valuable historical record of one gentlewoman's engagement with early nineteenth century British culture

Open destinies : modern American women and the short story cycle
No full textThis thesis examines the juncture between the short story cycle form and gender politics. It explores how twentieth-century women from the United States have been using the form to represent and question gender identity. The introduction outlines commentaries on the story cycle and considers definitions of the form. It includes case studies of earlier twentieth-century cycles by American women: cycles such as Mary McCarthy's The Company She Keeps that have been passed over by critics of the form.
Chapter One presents Eudora Welty's The Golden Apples as a cycle paradigm, examining conventions such as the form's metafictional dimension and its preoccupation with communal identity. Chapter Two argues that Grace Paley's scattered Faith narratives set a standard for more dispersed versions of the form. Chapter Three considers how Joyce Carol Oates uses the sequential cycle to represent gender identity as a social construct. Chapters Four and Five examine the macrocosmic cycles of Gloria Naylor and Louise Erdrich and consider changes in their form and gender politics. The final 'composite' chapters explore postmodern versions of the form such as Susan Minot's Monkeys. The prose works of Sandra Cisneros stretch across the story cycle continuum, whilst Toni Morrison's Paradise is universally regarded as a novel. Readings of contemporary cycles by Melissa Bank, Elissa Schappell and Emily Carter demonstrate that American women are re-invigorating the form to facilitate the plural identity of the postmodern heroine
Arterial T and Y grafts
No full textPresented is the use of an autogenous arterial T graft for the salvage of a thrombosed arterial end-to-side anastomosis. The T-graft concept also offers the possibility of replacing a segment of artery in patients with arterial vessel wall defects, stenosis, obliteration, or disease during free latissimus dorsi or scapular flap transfer. The arterial T graft is harvested from the axilla and consists of segments of the subscapular, circumflex scapular, and thoracodorsal arteries. The large diameter of these vessels offers a good match with the arteries of the lower leg and forearm. The arterial Y graft consists of the same arteries and is used as an interpositional graft to revascularize two distal vessels from one proximal vessel
Morphodynamics of the Lister Tief tidal basin
No full textThe Wadden Sea is characterized by barrier islands separated by tidal inlets consisting of a system of inter-tidal flats and channels. It is an ecologically valuable area. Accelerated sea-level rise due to climate change combined with human interference which may cause land subsidence can have significant impact on the Wadden Sea system. A major question of concern is how vulnerable the Wadden Sea system is to the relative sea-level rise. The present study focuses at the apparent deviant behaviour of the Lister Tief tidal basin compared to Dutch tidal basins in the Wadden Sea. All the tidal basins in the Dutch Wadden Sea appear to import sediment such that the deposition in the basins tend to cope with the low sea-level rise rate of about 20 cm/century at present. The Lister Tief, a tidal basin located between Germany and Denmark, appears to be eroding sediment despite the sea-level rise. Long-term modelling, needed for large scale systems like the Wadden Sea, can be done by the model ASMITA. It is a semi-empirical model which appears to be a powerful tool for simulating the long-term morphological development under influence of sea-level rise. In this study the Lister Tief basin is compared with the tidal basins in the Dutch Wadden Sea concerning aspects including the hypsometry and tidal asymmetry. Moreover, results of application of the ASMITA model are compared with the development of parameters representing hypsometry and tidal asymmetry under relative sea-level rise. The hypothesis was that the hypsometry of the Lister Tief could be the reason for the deviant behaviour of the Lister Tief tidal basin. From the analysis carried out in this study it appears that the Lister Tief tidal basin is not behaving differently than Dutch tidal basins under relative sea-level rise. The basin hypsometry does have a significant influence on the tidal asymmetry, but results from the analysis do not explain the loss of sediment in the Lister Tief tidal basin. From an analysis and the application of the ASMITA model it becomes clear that the model agrees with the development of parameters representing the basin hypsometry.Civil Engineering and Geoscience
