This is a somewhat expanded version of the author's talk given at the 1991 Summer Conference on General Topology and Applications in Honor of Mary Ellen Rudin and Her Work.PT: S; CR: BURKE MR, IN PRESS P AM MATH S BURKE MR, 1991, ISRAEL J MATH, V73, P33 BURKE MR, 1992, ISRAEL J MATH, V79, P289 CARLSON T, THEOREM LIFTING CHRISTENSEN JPR, 1974, TOPOLOGY BOREL STRUC FREMLIN DH, 1989, HDB BOOLEAN ALGEBRAS, P877 INOESCUTULCEA A, 1966, 5TH P BERK S MATH ST, V2 IONESCUTULCEA A, 1967, CONTRIBUTIONS PROB 1, P63 IONESCUTULCEA A, 1969, TOPICS THEORY LIFTIN JECH TJ, 1978, SET THEORY JOHNSON RA, 1980, P AM MATH SOC, V80, P234 JUST W, IN PRESS T AM MATH S KUPKA J, 1983, INDIANA U MATH J, V32, P717 LOSERT V, 1983, LNM, V1080, P95 MAHARAM D, 1958, P AM MATH SOC, V9, P987 SHELAH S, 1983, ISRAEL J MATH, V45, P90 TALAGRAND M, 1982, P AM MATH SOC, V84, P379 VONNEUMANN J, 1931, CRELLES J MATH, V165, P109; NR: 18; TC: 0; J9: ANN N Y ACAD SCI; PG: 4; GA: BZ86BSource type: Electronic(1
The sweat of the brain: representations of intellectual labour in the writings of Edmund Burke, William Cobbett, William Hazlitt and Thomas Carlyle
Full text linkThis thesis examines representations of intellectual work in the writings of Edmund Burke, William Cobbett, William Hazlitt, and Thomas Carlyle, focusing on their tendency to draw on an analogy between mental and manual labour when representing their own work to themselves and to their readers. It is my argument that while the assimilation of intellectual to physical labour can be seen as a symptom of political bad faith - suggesting, as it does, that thinking and writing are as painful or as difficult as digging and ploughing - the primary purposes of the analogy in the works of these four cultural commentators are, first, to forge rhetorical alliances with ordinary labourers, and, second, to attack other intellectuals engaged in what are alleged to be less arduous and less valuable forms of intellectual endeavour. By blaming the irresponsible activity of disaffected literary men for the political upheaval of the French Revolution, Burke set the terms for debate about the role of educated and literate men in society, a debate in which, for the first time, intellectuals competed for the allegiance of the labouring population. The analogy with manual labour was a key rhetorical site in the struggle to define an ideology for intellectuals, since it claims to ground the speaker or writer in the labouring community at large. For each author, I undertake close readings of several key texts to demonstrate the prevalence of the comparison with manual labour in the representation of intellectual activity. The political-ideological valence of the analogy is never straightforward, I contend, and it often occurs alongside an impulse to emphasise, as well as to elide, what are assumed to be the fundamental differences between mental and manual activity. We witness in the writings of Burke, Cobbett, Hazlitt, and Carlyle a recognisable mode of self-representation, for the desire to assimilate intellectual to material work has persisted

Liftings and the property of Baire in locally compact groups
No full textFor each locally compact group G with Haar measure mu , we obtain the following results. The first is a version for group quotients of a classical result of Kuratowski and Ulam on first category subsets of the plane. The second is a strengthening of a theorem of Kupka and Prikry; we obtain it by a much simpler technique, building on work of Talagrand and Losert.PT: J; CR: BURKE MR, IN PRESS ISRAEL J MA BURKE MR, 1991, ISRAEL J MATH, V73, P33 CHRISTENSEN JPR, 1974, TOPOLOGY BOREL STRUC HALMOS PR, 1974, MEASURE THEORY HEWITT E, 1979, ABSTRACT HARMONIC AN, V1 IONESCUTULCEA A, 1965, 5TH P BERK S MATH ST, V2 IONESCUTULCEA A, 1967, CONTRIBUTIONS PROB 1, P63 IONESCUTULCEA A, 1969, TOPICS THEORY LIFTIN JOHNSON RA, 1980, P AM MATH SOC, V80, P234 JUST W, 1992, T AM MATH SOC, V329, P325 KUPKA J, 1983, INDIANA U MATH J, V32, P717 KURATOWSKI K, 1966, TOPOLOGY, V1 LOSERT V, 1984, LECT NOTES MATH, V1080, P95 MAHARAM D, 1958, P AM MATH SOC, V9, P987 OXTOBY JC, 1971, MEASURE CATEGORY SHELAH S, 1983, ISRAEL J MATH, V45, P90 SOLOVAY RM, 1970, ANN MATH, V92, P1 TALAGRAND M, 1982, P AM MATH SOC, V84, P379 WHITE HE, 1975, P AM MATH SOC, V50, P477; NR: 19; TC: 0; J9: PROC AMER MATH SOC; PG: 8; GA: KT226Source type: Electronic(1
Powers of the ideal of Lebesgue measure zero sets
No full textWe investigate the cofinality of the partial order N-kappa of functions from a regular cardinal kappa into the ideal N of Lebesgue measure zero subsets of R. We show that when add(N) = kappa and the covering lemma holds with respect to an inner model of GCH, then cf(N-kappa) = max{cf(kappa(kappa)), cf([cf(N)]kappa)}. We also give an example to show that the covering assumption cannot be removed.PT: J; CR: BAUMGARTNER J, 1983, SURVEYS SET THEORY, P1 BURKE MR, 1988, THESIS U TORONTO TOR FREMLIN DH, 1984, MATHEMATIKA, V31, P323 FREMLIN DH, 1984, SEMINAIRE INITIATION, V23 FREMLIN DH, 1988, PARTIALLY ORDERED SE JECH TJ, 1973, SET THEORY KUNEN K, 1984, HDB SET THEORETIC TO, P887 MAGIDOR M, 1977, ISRAEL J MATH, V28, P1; NR: 8; TC: 0; J9: J SYMB LOGIC; PG: 5; GA: FD568Source type: Electronic(1
Models in which every nonmeager set is nonmeager in a nowhere dense Cantor set
No full textWe prove that it is relatively consistent with ZFC that in any perfect Polish space, for every nonmeager set A there exists a nowhere dense Cantor set C such that A boolean AND C is nonmeager in C.

Regulation of the pharynx of Caenorhabditis elegans by 5-HT, octopamine, and FMRFamide-like neuropeptides
No full textMore than fifty FMRFamide-like neuropeptides have been identified in nematodes. We addressed the role of a subset of these in the control of nematode feeding by electrophysiological recording of the activity of C. elegans pharynx. AF1 (KNEFIRFamide), AF2 (KHEYLRFamide), AF8 (KSAYMRFamide), and GAKFIRFamide (encoded by the C. elegans genes flp-8, flp-14, flp-6, and flp-5, respectively) increased pharyngeal action potential frequency, in a manner similar to 5-HT. In contrast, SDPNFLRFamide, SADPNFLRFamide, SAEPFGTMRFamide, KPSVRFamide, APEASPFIRFamide, and AQTVRFamide (encoded by the C. elegans genes flp-1; flp-1; flp-3; flp-9; flp-13, and flp-16, respectively) inhibited the pharynx in a manner similar to octopamine. Only three of the neuropeptides had potent effects at low nanomolar concentrations, consistent with a physiological role in pharyngeal regulation. Therefore, we assessed whether these three peptides mediated their actions either directly on the pharynx or indirectly via the neural circuit controlling its activity by comparing actions between wild-type and mutants with deficits in synaptic signaling. Our data support the conclusion that AF1 and SAEPFGTMRFamide regulate the activity of the pharynx indirectly, whereas APEASPFIRFamide exerts its action directly. These results are in agreement with the expression pattern for the genes encoding the neuropeptides (Kim and Li, 1999) as both flp-8 and flp-3 are expressed in extrapharyngeal neurons, whereas flp-13 is expressed in I5, a neuron with synaptic output to the pharyngeal muscle. These results provide the first, direct, functional information on the action of neuropeptides in C. elegans. Furthermore, we provide evidence for a putative inhibitory peptidergic synapse, which is likely to have a role in the control of feeding. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Neurobiol 49: 235-244, 200

The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
