Food and eating in fiction since 1950 with particular reference to the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis.
No full textPhDEating is a fundamental activity. What people eat, how and with whom, what
they feel about food, what they do or do not want to eat and why - even who
they eat - are of crucial significance in any reading of human behaviour.
In this thesis, I consider the diverse and complex uses of food and eating
in fiction since 1950, especially that written by women. I argue both that food
and eating carry much of the meaning of a novel or story and that the acts of
cooking, feeding and eating depicted are inseparable from issues of power and
control: individually, interpersonally, culturally, politically.
My discussion centres on the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing,
Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory,
sociology, anthropology, Foucault, Bakhtin and others, the thesis aims to
construct an interdisciplinary perspective which both resists reductive
interpretations and emphasises the centrality, complexity and diversity of food
and eating in literature in our culture.
I begin with an examination of the ambiguities of maternal feeding and
nurturing, moving on to explore the links between appetite, eating and sexuality.
I explore cannibalism and vampirism as manifestations of oppression, but also as
indicating insatiable emptiness and transgressive appetite. The body itself is
crucial, and my argument considers the paradox of not eating as
control/enslavement, also tracing self-starvation as a positive route towards
wholeness and connection. The last part of my argument focuses on social
eating, examining conventions, rituals and food itself in connection with power
relations, and finally considers how we might truly speak of food and eating in
the context of society as a whole
Stochastic modeling of regulated enzymes
No full textTypescript (photocopy).The stochastic model of the allosterically regulated enzyme aspartate transcarbamylase uses a Markov process to describe the rate of reaction of substrate binding given various concentration levels. The enzymatic process may be viewed as an M/M/2 queueing system where two different types of arrivals are necessary for a service. There are two servers and a capacity of four customers in the system, two of each type. Arrival rates at a particular server are dependent on the state of the other server. In addition, two other types of customers may enter the system. These do not enter the service facility but do influence the arrival rates of the former type of customers. This research also develops a numerical solution procedure for obtaining the rate of reaction under given concentrations of the ligands. Finally, a method is described which utilizes a least-squares criterion for obtaining estimates for various unknown parameters. In this method, a Marquardt optimization procedure includes analytical expressions for the partial derivatives of the steady-state probabilities with respect to the unknown parameters

Ellis Island today: Located in the Upper Bay west of Jersey City and southwest of Manhattan
No full textEllis Island is a significant historical site just up the bay from tiny Liberty Island in Upper New York Bay. Why? Because it was here that millions of immigrants first put foot in America. But where is Ellis Island? Until recently, a coastal boundary dispute between New York and New Jersey made the answer to that question uncertain. The island was originally only 3 or so acres but because of the filling of tidal waters around the island to create room to house and process the immigrants, the island grew to over 27 acres. New Jersey claimed jurisdiction to all those areas filled but New York insisted the entire island, no matter what its size, was hers based on a compact signed by the two states in 1834. In 1980 the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), as part of the statewide effort to delineate tidelands delineated a claim line that essentially claimed the entire filled portion of Ellis Island, except the original three acres. (In New Jersey, all lands flowed by the tide now or formerly are owned by the state). New York objected. The states continued to squabble. Finally, in 1993, the State of New Jersey invoked the Supreme Courts jurisdiction to try the dispute. Coastal boundaries have historically been mapped on linen, and more recently mylar, but in this case the NJDEP invoked the modern technology of GIS to assist the state?s attorney general in preparing the case. Historic maps were scanned and registered to modern ortho-photography to assist in determining where and when areas were filled. GPS points were gathered and surveys made. All the digital data was then analyzed on the GIS to show where and how much fill was placed in the area. New Jersey used these data to argue that those areas filled after the compact were indeed still under the jurisdiction of New Jersey (Ellis Island is a National Park and therefore ownership was not the issue). A special master determined, and on May 26th 1998 the Supreme Court agreed, that New Jersey had sovereign authority over the filled land added to the original island. New York retained authority to the original 3-acre island. GIS was then used to implement the Supreme Court?s decision. NJDEP GIS scientists delineated the line between states using historical digital maps and adjusted the boundary line between states to the satisfaction of all parties. This paper will detail this historic decision and the implementation of the decision and the critical role GIS played.This is an updated version of the presentation entitled: GIS and Coastal Boundary Disputes: Where is Ellis Island? In this updated version, the author has added slides in order to better explain how the angles in the Fort Gibson wall, that was constructed just prior to the War of 1812, were used to align the 1857 survey of Ellis Island with current island.There is a companion paper to the 1999 version of this presentation. See: Professional Surveyor, July August 1999, Vol. 19, Number 6, pp 8-14.Purpose: Describes the delineation of the jurisdictional boundary between New Jersey and New York, on Ellis Island, as per the Supreme Court ruling of 1998.

Effect of gossypol on specific enzyme systems
No full textThe effect of gossypol on the enzymatic activity of crystalline trypsin, pepsin, muscle aldolase, and the activation of pepsinogen has been established in in vitro systems. Trypsin activity was completely inhibited using p-toluene-sulfonyl-L-arginine methyl ester as substrate, after trypsin was incubated 2 hr with 5 x 10������ gossypol (15:1 molar ratio gossypol/trypsin) in 0.04 M borate buffer containing 5% methyl Cellosolve pH 8.1 at 25��. Pepsin activity was not inhibited after prolonged incubation with 4 to 12 molar equivalents of gossypol. On the other hand, the activation of pepsinogen was completely prevented after 2 hr incubation with 1.5 x 10������ M gossypol (3:1 molar ratio gossypol/pepsinogen) in 0.1 sodium buffer containing 10% ethanol, pH8.0 at 35��. The potential activity of pepsinogen was assayed using hemoglobin as the substrate. Optimum condition for the reaction between gossypol and the zymogen were found to be pH 8.0, 10% ethanol and 35��. Attempts were made to locate the pepsinogen residue(s) involved in the bonding with gossypol by digesting pepsinogen-gossypol and pepsinogen preparations with trypsin and papain and separating the resulting peptides by high-voltage paper electrophoresis. Amino acid composition of selected peptides indicated that lysine was bonding to gossypol. A tentative scheme for the reaction between gossypol and pepsinogen was postulated based on kinetic experiments and the number of peptides resulting from tryptic digestion. ..
The mainstream primary classroom as a language-learning environment for children with severe and persistent language impairment - implications of recent language intervention research
No full textMany UK children with severe and persistent language impairment (SLI) attend local mainstream schools. Although this should provide an excellent language-learning environment, opportunities may be limited by difficulties in sustaining time-consuming, child-specific learning activities; restricted co-professional working, and the complex classroom environment. Two language intervention studies in mainstream Scottish primary schools showed children with SLI receiving intervention from speech and language therapists (SLTs) or their assistants made more progress in expressive language than similar children receiving intervention from education staff. Potential reasons for this difference are sought in the amount of tailored language-learning activity undertaken; how actively school staff initiated contact with SLTs; and the language demands of the classroom. Tailored language learning appears to be a differentiating factor. A language support model, reflecting views of teachers and SLTs about encouraging language development for children with SLI within the ecology of the mainstream primary classroom, is also outlined
