WPA Interview - Nat Terry
No full textA transcript of a WPA Interview with Nat Terry in the 1930s. Terry recalls that there was not a roller mill in Fort Worth until the Fort Worth Foundry was established and its location was on front street between Lamar and Taylor. Terry states that the only establishment was the Carson House. Terry also describes that he was in the iron industry due to his uncle R. H. King and that the iron that came to Fort Worth came from Dallas.https://mavmatrix.uta.edu/specialcollections_workprojectsadministration/1154/thumbnail.jp
"Disney is the Tiffany’s and I am the Woolworth's of the business": A critical re-analysis of the business philosophies, production values and studio practices of animator-producer Paul Houlton Terry
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Animator-producer Paul Houlton Terry has been portrayed as having little passion for the animation he produced and being more concerned with making a profit than producing entertaining cartoons with high production values. The purpose of the dissertation is to re-evaluate Terry‘s legacy to animated cartooning by analyzing his business philosophies, production values, and studio practices.
Application of four psychodynamic factors to the early life and career of Terry, 1887-1929, found that his economic decision making was characterized by: an external locus of control, risk-averse financial behaviour, extreme saving behaviour through precaution, and shrewd money management practices. Based on Terry‘s historical responses to twelve major economic, technological, or institutional forces of change for the period 1929-1955, the psychodynamic factors were found to provide accurate explanations for his studio practices and production decisions.
There was no evidence to support the conclusion that three early career disappointments undermined Terry‘s intrinsic motivation to create animated cartoons. Rather, Terry‘s lack of risk taking, external locus of control, tight studio production schedule, desire to compete with neighbour studio Fleischer, difficulty in separating financial rewards from creative processes in animation, and practice of undertaking surveillance measures on staff may have undermined his and his studio‘s creativity. Archival research found Terry to possess strong passions for and to have made significant creative contributions to the field of animation.
Biographical research found that Terry retained a stable nucleus of highly talented artists who dedicated a significant portion of their working careers to the studio. An analysis of the cel aesthetics of a random sample of animated cartoons produced during the years 1930-1955 found that Terry created animated cartoons with above average cel aesthetics when compared to the other studios thereby supporting an inference that Terry was motivated to producing quality crafted animation. Further research is suggested into the role psychodynamic factors and economic decision-making play in the film production process and a clarification of Terry‘s legacy to the field of animated cartoons

Cytosolic arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT) deficiency in the dog and other canids due to an absence of NAT genes
No full textThe purpose of this study was to determine the molecular basis in the dog for an unusual and absolute deficiency in the activity of cytosolic N-acetyltransferase (NAT), an enzyme important for the metabolism of arylamine and hydrazine compounds. NAT activity towards two NAT substrates, p-aminobenzoic acid and sulfamethazine, was undetectable in dog liver cytosol, despite substrate concentrations ranging from 10 microM to 4 mM and a wide range of incubation times. Similarly, no protein immunoreactive to NAT antibody was evident on western blot analysis of canine liver cytosol. Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA from a total of twenty-five purebred and mixed bred dogs, and eight wild canids, probed with a full-length human NAT2 cDNA, suggested an absence of NAT sequences in all canids. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of genomic DNA using degenerate primers designed to mammalian NAT1 and NAT2 consensus sequences generated products of the expected size in human, mouse, rabbit, and cat DNA, but no NAT products in any dog or wild canids. These results support the conclusion that cytosolic NAT deficiency in the domestic dog is due to a complete absence of NAT genes, and that this defect is shared by other canids.LR: 20061115; PUBM: Print; JID: 0101032; 150-13-0 (4-Aminobenzoic Acid); 57-68-1 (Sulfamethazine); 9007-49-2 (DNA); EC 2.3.1.5 (Arylamine N-Acetyltransferase); ppublishSource type: Electronic(1

This paper is a compilation of several different papers already published or to be published in the scientific literature.The underlying measured data referred to in this article as unavailable have recently been made available at https://osf.io/7wqxb/ August 9, 202
Rivierbocht model, doseerinstallatie nat zand
No full textBegonnen is voor het rivierbochtmodel een doseerinstallatie te ont-vrikkelen, die net zo nauwkeurig als het doseerapparaat voor droog zand, nat zand doseert. De grote voordelen hierbij zijn: - de mogelijkheid continu dag en nacht te doseren, - minder arbeidsintensief (niet drogen en vullen). Hiervoor is met de heer Van der Brugge en de heer Groeneveld een bezoek gebracht aan het W.L. in de Voorst, om daar te kijken hoe op de rechte goot het doseerprobleem is opgelost. Aan de hand van dit bezoek is verder gedacht over wat in ons geval een goed systeem zou zijn.oHydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience

The 'Nat Turner' Controversy
No full textIn the late sixties, William Styron, who had acquired considerable reputation with his first three novels, published "The Confessions of Nat Turner", a fictionalized account of a slave rebellion in Virginia
in 1831. The author himself, as well as influential white critics, thought that the book was highly sympathetic to Nat Turner, the black rebel leader, and expected a positive response from the black
community. However, a number of black Writers attacked Styron for what they saw as profoundly racíst attitudes. This paper examines the problematic aspects of the novel and the main issues of this
controversy as generally illustrative of the difficulties involved in bridging cultural and historical misunderstandings and, in its particularities, as characteristic of America in the 196os
NAT traversal techniques for MediaSense open source platform
No full textThis thesis project concerns NAT traversal techniques and their application to P2P networking with regard to MediaSense platform. Since MediaSense open source platform, developed by Mid Sweden University, utilizes the benefits of P2P networking, it also suffers from the drawbacks provided by NAT. The issue of NAT traversal is not trivial due to the fact that the behavior of NAT devices is not standardized and vendors are free to provide their own implementations. The common knowledge is, that at least four main types of NATs exist, differing in the filtering and mapping algorithms employed. NAT traversal techniques vary accordingly. No single technique can handle all the cases. Most of the techniques can handle up to three main types of NAT. The last type is usually used in large corporate networks and is called the Symmetric NAT. The most viable, and basically the only available technique for its traversal, is data relaying. This thesis builds a NAT traversal module for the MediaSense platform. The main purpose of this module is to provide seamless NAT traversal capabilities to the platform. The module does this in several steps: UPnP enabled device discovery, NAT type determination and data relaying via the proxy. Firstly the module attempts to discover the presence of a UPnP enabled Internet Gateway Device on the network. If such a device is present on the network, a port mapping can be created, making the node located behind NAT accessible from the public Internet. If a UPnP enabled device was not found, the module will try to determine the type of NAT used. Based on the type of NAT used, the module can transit to either the proxy mode or request assistance of the STUN server to keep the created mapping alive. The resulting chapters provide the reader with the output produced by each step, conclusions the author has made while working on this project and some general ideas on future work within the subject
