A Critical Examination of the Ecclesiology of John Nelson Darby
No full textThis thesis examines the ecclesiology, or doctrine of the church, of John Nelson
Darby (1800-1882), who was one of the leading and most prominent members of the
Plymouth Brethren in the nineteenth century.
The thesis systematically outlines the structure of Darby's thought on the subject of
ecclesiology. It explains how Darby defined the church and understood its nature.
His ecclesiology is shown to be foundational to the system of Dispensationalist
theology in that the church is seen in occupying a period of time unforeseen in
biblical prophecy. Darby's ecclesiology is also shown to be an ecclesiology of crisis
in that he believed that the church had fallen into such a state of ruin that no bodies
existed that could truly be described as churches.
The thesis considers Darby's solution to the ruin or failure of the church found in
'meeting in the name of the Lord.' It examines how Darby's view of how the church
should meet successfully synthesized the conflicting concepts of unity and separation.
It suggests that other writers have not always recognized how Darby distinguished
between separation from individuals and separation from institutions. Nevertheless
while arguing that Darby's ecclesiology achieved a stable synthesis between unity and
separation, it presents a number of practical problems with Darby's ecclesiology.
Attention is given to Darby's teaching on discipline, ministry, church government and
sacraments.
The thesis considers his ecclesiology within a number of contexts. First, its place
within the development of ecclesiology in theological history and in relation
specifically to modem ecclesiologies. Second, in his life and involvement with the
Brethren movement. Third, his role in the development of American fundamentalism,
a major proportion of which has adopted significant aspects of his theology,
particularly Dispensationalism, a form of millennial theology that makes a strong
distinction between the church and the nation of Israel within salvation history. This
thesis argues that while some American fundamentalists adopted Darby's
dispensational views, they found very different practical applications for them in their
ecclesiastical activity. A number of reasons are considered as to why they did not
adopt Darby's ecclesiology in its entirety. Fourthly, the thesis considers the place of
Darby's ecclesiology in relation to other ecclesiastical movements in nineteenth
century Britain. It argues that Darby's ecclesiology shared similar themes to three
ecclesiastical movements

AAC Darby Canada Western Red Spring wheat
No full textAAC Darby (PT495) is an early maturing, high yielding, awned and hollow stemmed Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar suited to the growing conditions in the northern Canadian Prairies. AAC Darby was higher yielding than all the check varieties in the Parkland Wheat Cooperative (Park C) registration trials (2018-2020). AAC Darby was 6% higher yielding than Parata and 5% higher yielding than Carberry. AAC Darby matured 5 days earlier than Carberry and 1 day earlier than Parata. AAC Darby was similar in height to Glenn at 2 cm taller. The lodging score for AAC Darby was similar to the mean of the checks. The test weight of AAC Darby was similar to Carberry and the 1000-kernel weight was similar to Glenn and higher than Parata. AAC Darby had protein content only 0.07% lower than Carberry. AAC Darby expressed an intermediate resistant reaction to Fusarium head blight (FHB; Fusarium graminearum Schwabe). AAC Darby was moderately resistant to the prevalent races of stem rust (Pucciniagraminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. E. Henn) and moderately susceptible to common bunt [Tilletia caries (DC) Tul. C. Tul.]. It was resistant to prevalent races of leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Erikss.) and stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis Westend). AAC Darby was resistant to orange wheat blossom midge (OBWM) (Sitodiplosis mosellana Géhin). AAC Darby was registered under the CWRS class.The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.

Preprocessed gene trees from "Xenolog Classification"
No full textPreprocessed gene trees from 49 taxa of Cyanobacteria and 16 Proteobacteria used by Darby et al. (2017, Bioinformatics 33:640-649; doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw686) are provided here. These consist of trees for 13623 of the gene families of Latysheva et al. (2012, doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bts008). Using Notung-2.8.1.7 (Stolzer et al. 2012, doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bts386), unrooted trees with bootstrap support (out of 200; doi:10.7488/ds/1485) were preprocessed with the following steps: (1) root with DTL (duplication, transfer, loss) model --costdup 3 --costtrans 2.5 --costloss 2; (2) rearrange with DL model --costdup 3 --costloss 2 --threshold 90%; (3) reroot with DTL model --costdup 3 --costtrans 2.5 --costloss 2. Both zip files contain the output from this pipeline. The Newick format trees reflect the tree topology after this process. The Notung format trees also include the reconciliation, and other meta data. The Notung format is described in detail in Appendix A (File Formats) of the Notung manual (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~durand/Notung).

Movement of Star Scientists and Engineers and High-Tech Firm Entry
No full textThis paper analyzes the effects of top nanoscale scientists on industry entry in the comparative context of 5 major areas of science and technology, extending the concept of star scientist to all areas of science and technology. The results for nanotechnology are replicated using the comprehensive list of firms from NanoBank.org that provide an alternative industry entry measure not available for other high-tech fields. We follow careers 1981-2004 for 5,401 stars as identified in ISIHighlyCited.comSM, using their publication history to locate them each year. The number of stars in a U.S. region or in one of the top-25 science and technology countries generally has a consistently significant and quantitatively large positive effect on the probability of firm entry in the same area of science and technology. Other measures of academic knowledge stocks have weaker and less consistent effects. Thus the stars themselves rather than their potentially disembodied discoveries play a key role in the formation or transformation of high-tech industries. We identify separate economic geography effects in poisson regressions for the 179 BEA-defined U.S. regions, but not for the 25 countries analysis. Stars become more concentrated over time, moving from areas with relatively few peers to those with many in their discipline. A counter-flow operating on the U.S. versus the other 24 countries is the tendency of foreign-born American stars to return to their homeland when it develops sufficient strength in their area of science and technology. In contrast high impact articles and university articles and patents all tend to diffuse, becoming more equally distributed over time.
Darby O\u27Gill and the construction of Irish identity
No full textThis thesis investigates the role of the term ?Darby O?Gill? in the modern Irish consciousness as a signifier of a pejorative construction of Irish identity and the extent to which it is justified when all cultural incarnations of Darby O?Gill and the version of Ireland that he inhabits are taken into account. It investigates not only whether it is justified to apply this cultural signifier to Darby O?Gill but also whether the emphasis that is placed upon the signifier in Irish cultural discourse obscures a more complex and interesting construction of Irish identity. This thesis constitutes the first sustained and comprehensive scholarly analysis of either the literary or the cinematic incarnation of Darby O?Gill. It examines the origins of Darby O?Gill and his Ireland in the literary fairy tales of Anglo-Irish-American children?s author Herminie Templeton Kavanagh, which were published in the diasporic space of Irish America at the turn of the twentieth century. It also examines the 1959 live-action film adaptation by Walt Disney Productions, Darby O?Gill and the Little People, upon which Darby O?Gill?s notoriety appears to be founded. This examination will consist of close textual analysis, socio-historical and cultural contextualisation, the application of relevant literary and cultural theories and relevant, pre-existing scholarship and findings from archival research which has been conducted for this project. The main areas of literary and cultural thought that feature in this thesis relate to fairy tales and folklore, children?s literature, Irish-American literature, representations of Irishness in American popular culture and, most especially, Irish-American ethnic identity in the diasporic space
