Ask Any Vegetable
No full textThis is a book about making animal forms out of common vegetables. As the eBay title for it proclaims: Very WEIRD! As the author writes in the foreword, Look long at an ordinary gourd of any sort and it will suggest many things to you (vi). This book is in this collection because of Fox and Crane on 24-25, Hare and Tortoise on 60-61, and Fox and Crow on 68-69. For the former scene, normal gourds were used to create the crane and the vase. For the fox an immature gourd was used; some clay was added, into which ears and eyes were stuck. A bit of cotton was pasted over the body to resemble fur, and the bushy tail was bult up of strands of corn silk. The fox's ears are feather-shaft ends (25). Did Aesop ever think that he would be getting into scenes made up of vegetables? The second scene is set in a forest whose trees are carrots. The rabbit is formed from a peanut, and the tortoise from a horse chestnut. The third scene represents some confusion or syncretism between FG and FC. The crow, which might be difficult to create, is cleverly left out of the scene. Prizes in the book go to the camel and leader on 36 (also on the front cover of the dust jacket), the resting sea lions on 53, and the sleeping student on 114. I would say that R.E. Eshmeyer was as crazy as I am, and that probably fits. He was also a man of the cloth.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)R.E. Eshmeye

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Sourcing Scottish white gritty ware
No full textFollowing on from the successful pilot study funded by Historic Scotland which assessed the previous work and analyses carried out on Scottish White Gritty Ware pottery, a major investigation of the Scottish White Gritty Ware industry was initiated by Glasgow University Archaeological Research Division and funded by Historic Scotland. The project set out to examine the range and type of vessels, the production areas and chemical composition of the clays used in the production of Scottish White Gritty Ware. The chemical and petrographic analyses aimed to identify the source or sources of the pottery and its distribution within Scotland.<p></p>
Over six hundred sherds of pottery from over forty Scottish archaeological sites were evaluated by chemical analysis using ICP, combined with the petrographic examination of a selection of thin sections. Also undertaken as part of the project were the construction of a Scottish White Gritty Ware vessel typology, a limited programme of clay prospection, a review of past scientific work, glaze analysis, chemical comparisons with English and Continental material and a geophysical survey of the Scottish White Gritty Ware kiln site at Colstoun in East Lothian. The petrographic analyses were carried out on the existing thin section collection housed in the National Museum of Scotland and newly prepared examples from sherds especially selected for the study. The results of the analyses have pointed to the production of White Gritty ware in several areas of Scotland from the Scottish Borders to the Moray Firth and have identified those geographic areas that require further research and excavation.<p></p>
This study has put together the largest and one of the most significant datasets for any Medieval European ceramic industry and has created a major platform for any future work on Scottish ceramics.<p></p>
The Indian biennale effect: the Kochi/Murziris Biennale 2012
No full textThe Kochi-Muziris Biennale, the most recent global art biennale, was launched in Kochi in the state of Kerala, India, in 2012. This essay considers the “biennale effect,” locating it within India's recent history of radical political modernization and in the context of the state's attempts to establish itself in terms of internationalism and contemporaneity via the arts. Pivotal to this discussion of the biennale effect is the recognition of a growing critical discourse about the biennale format by scholars, critics, and curators. The impact of the Indian biennale on the formerly Communist city of Kochi is also explored, including photographic documentation by the author, in the context of the contradictions and paradoxes raised by India's hosting of this global art event
Chemical and functional analysis of generic hydroxyurea formulations
No full textHydroxyurea has documented laboratory and clinical efficacy for children with sickle cell anemia (SCA), and has potential to become an effective and inexpensive treatment option for patients in countries with limited resources. Concerns exist, however, regarding product quality and manufacturing variability among different international vendors, particularly for generic formulations. To address these concerns, hydroxyurea capsules from 8 different pharmaceutical sources were analyzed using quantitative chemical and functional assays. All samples had measured values within 20percent of expected results, with no significant differences observed among vendors. Generic hydroxyurea formulations represent a potent yet inexpensive therapeutic option for children with SCA worldwide.

Gender differences in self-reported late effects, quality of life and satisfaction with clinic in survivors of lymphoma
No full textObjectives: gender differences in perceived vulnerability to late effects and views about follow-up among cancer survivors have received little attention. As lymphoma affects both genders similarly, we compared the consequences of cancer (late effects, perceived vulnerability and quality of life (health-related quality of life (HRQoL)), and satisfaction with clinic visits between genders.Methods: a cohort of 115 younger adults (18–45 years, >5 years disease-free survival), who had been treated for lymphoma participated. Questionnaires (n = 91) were completed before and after (n = 62) routine consultant-led appointments. Survivors (n = 24) without appointments were recruited by post. Questionnaires included HRQoL, late effects, perceived vulnerability, issues survivors wanted to discuss and reported discussing in clinic, time waiting in clinic and consultation satisfaction.Results: there were no gender differences in number of self-reported late effects or perceived vulnerability. Men with more late effects reported worse psychological HRQoL (r = 0.50, p<0.001). While men wanted to discuss more topics than they did, women were able to discuss the topics they wanted (ANOVA, p = 0.01). Multiple regression analyses showed a shorter wait in clinic (r = ?0.46, p = 0.009) and discussing more topics (r = 0.34, p = 0.06) explained 30.6% of the variance in consultation satisfaction for men.Conclusions: issues surrounding follow-up provision are increasingly important given the length of survival in young adults following treatment for lymphoma. Men may experience poor psychological well-being due to distress about unanswered concerns. Consideration of their concerns should be prioritised, given that satisfaction and ultimately continued attendance at clinic and HRQoL may be dependent on the extent to which follow-up meets survivors' expectation
ASA member experiences and perceptions of the peer reviewing-editing process (Chapter 4)
No full textA membership survey regarding policies and attitudes germane
to the peer reviewing and editing practices and policies
of the American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society
of America, and Soil Science Society of America was deemed
worthwhile. A second survey queried agricultural experiment
station directors on related institutional aspects of the same
topic. Briefly, responses indicated good demographic representation
of editorial boards with some underrepresentation of non-U.S.
addressed members. One-third of the membership has
served on the editorial board of some journal, and 1 in 7.4 has
served on the editorial board of a Tri-Society journal. Females
are used as reviewers one-third as often in proportion to their
membership as are males. The publishing membership of the
Tri-Societies is essentially those members with Ph.D.'s. Two-thirds
of the papers submitted to Tri-Society journals require
institutional review before journal submission. There is twice
the support among the membership for dual anonymity (author
and reviewers) as for reviewer anonymity only (the current
policy). Nearly one-half the membership perceived shared
responsibility by authors and editors for accuracy of published
manuscripts. There was strong concern for seeking qualified
reviewers, guaranteeing quality of reviews, admonishing poor
reviewers, and instituting training in the Tri-Societies for writing/reviewing/editing.
Greater openmindedness was supported
for publishing "negative" or unusual results where
methodology and analysis were acceptable. Concern was expressed
about influence networks undermining the fairness of
the review process. Significant support exists for a rapid-publication
journal in the Tri-Societies. Two-and-one-half times
more authors indicated movement away from Tri-Society journals
than to them, with 44% indicating no change. The major
reasons for journal migration were gravitation to journals that
better reflected some recent shift in research focus, and various
aspects of dissatisfaction with Tri-Society journals. Institutional
responses indicated a strong rationale for developing and
endorsing codes of ethics and limiting Tri-Society responsibility
for ethical infractions
