Young Folk's Library of Choice Literature
No full textHere is a paperback book that helps me to carry on my campaign against "publish upon demand" books. This book is, in some form, a reprint of Mara Pratt's 1892 first volume. The botched job by the reprinter makes it hard to know just what that form is or which printing of Pratt's work is involved. Let me list my frustrations as I have tried to catalogue this book. First, the cover -- and of course the title under which it was advertised and sold -- is not the title on the title-page. Let me quote verbatim the title on the cover: "Aesop'S Fables: A First Reader - Primary Source Edition." Who would recognize that as Pratt's book? Secondly, who is the author? The xeroxed page inside this book identifies her, as do -- so I believe -- all the published editions of her work, "Mara L. Pratt." The publisher, in his wisdom, has made her into Mara Louise Pratt-Chadwick. While it is helpful to have the information of her changed name, the present publisher is not making things easier for those of us who would like to be careful about names. My biggest frustration comes as I open the book. I have regularly used the images for FG, an early fable in the 1892 version, as a test case for various printings and editions. Typically, there is an image I watch on 10 of these editions. What is on 10 here? It can be hard to answer this question because 5-7 recount "The Fox and the Lion." 8-9 are misplaced from the beginning of the volume; they show Harvard's library identifier and the inscription of the original giver of the book. Shall we look to 10 to complete the story of the fox and lion? What appears is the apparent ending to FG, but without the usual FG image! I give up! When instant publishers become more serious about reproducing their books, I will become more serious about cataloguing them!Here is a paperback book that helps me to carry on my campaign against "publish upon demand" books.

Phase contrast and time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography of the intracerebral arteries at 1.5, 3 and 7 T
No full textTime-of-flight (ToF) and phase contrast (PC) magnetic resonance angiographies (MRAs) are noninvasive applications to depict the cerebral arteries. Both approaches can image the cerebral vasculature without the administration of intravenous contrast. Therefore, it is used in routine clinical evaluation of cerebrovascular diseases, e.g., aneurysm and arteriovenous malformations. However, subtle microvascular disease usually cannot be resolved with standard, clinical-field-strength MRA. The purpose of this study was to compare the ability of ToF and PC MRA to visualize the cerebral arteries at increasing field strengths
Nutrigenomics, individualism and public health.
No full textIssues arising in connection with genes and nutrition policy include both nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics. Nutrigenomics considers the relationship between specifc nutrients or diet and gene expression and, it is envisaged, will facilitate prevention of diet-related common diseases. Nutrigenetics is concerned with the effects of individual genetic variation (single nucleotide polymorphisms) on response to diet, and in the longer term may lead to personalised dietary recommendations. It is important also to consider the surrounding context of other issues such as novel and functional foods in so far as they are related to genetic modification. Ethical issues fall into a number of categories: (1) why nutrigenomics? Will it have important public health benefits? (2) questions about research, e.g. concerning the acquisition of information about individual genetic variation; (3) questions about who has access to this information, and its possible misuse; (4) the applications of this information in terms of public health policy, and the negotiation of the potential tension between the interests of the individual in relation to, for example, prevention of conditions such as obesity and allergy; (5) the appropriate ethical approach to the issues, e.g. the moral difference, if any, between therapy and enhancement in relation to individualised diets; whether the 'technological fix' is always appropriate, especially in the wider context of the purported lack of public confidence in science, which has special resonance in the sphere of nutrition
The development of mission theology and praxis at Cliff College, with reference to its antecedents and history.
No full textA thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the department of Theology and Religion, Faculty of Arts, Durham University 2005.This thesis is an examination and evaluation of evangelistic ministry at Cliff College and its major themes, or Charisms. It charts the rise of the College and its antecedents in section one, introducing the main characters and events. Section two introduces themes that have shaped the tradition of the College; the most significant being holiness teaching which finds its origins in the works of John Wesley. Though they differed in emphasis, most Principals were proponents of this doctrine. There developed at the College a theology which was biblical and evangelical but not fundamentalist or sectarian. The College espoused 'faith principles' but ensured supporters were aware of its needs. The College is known primarily for training people in evangelism. Section three charts this innovative ministry beginning with the joyful News Mission and continuing through the years of Cook, Chadwick and Broadbelt. Between 1939 and the late 1950s there was a dearth of creative thinking about evangelism. Meadley and Beiben laid the foundations that, in the late 1970s, gave rise to a new strategy which was given impetus through the 1980s. The innovative thinking of the first period is illustrated by reference to the Joyful News female evangelists and the trekkers. Section four examines the particular academic stance taken by College Principals. This was specifically to offer training, focussed on evangelistic ministry, to those who may not otherwise have the opportunity. A policy of open access was retained throughout, with the College seeking proper recognition. This eventually came with the validation of the College programmes by the University of Sheffield. Chapter eleven charts the emergence of missiology as a discipline in the academy. The conclusion identifies the ambivalent attitude of Methodism to the College, and that its major charisms continue to have a significant influence though in need of constant restatement
Nitrogen excretion and expression of urea cycle enzymes during early life stages of Atlantic cod and rainbow trout
No full textThis study investigates nitrogen excretion and urea metabolism during early life stages of two species of teleost fish. Although activities of urea cycle enzymes and urea excretion rates were low in adults of the Atlantic cod Gadus morhua L., embryonic and larval cod had much higher enzyme activities and urea excretion rates. Surprisingly, two populations of cod embryos (Newfoundland and New Brunswick) had distinct patterns of urea metabolism. The tissue distributions of urea cycle enzymes were measured in newly-hatched rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. The key urea cycle enzyme, carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPSase III), was localized to the embryonic body (presumably skeletal muscle tissue), not the liver. My study demonstrates that urea is quantitatively a much more important nitrogen end-product in early life stages than in adults of Atlantic cod. Tissue distribution of urea cycle enzymes in rainbow trout contrasts markedly with the typical hepatic urea cycle found in elasmobranch fishes and higher vertebrates
Terrorism and the law: historical contexts, contemporary dilemmas and the end(s) of democracy
No full textRecent proposals by the G7 (and Russia) to clamp down on "terrorists" and "terrorism" do not define that which is prohibited. Instead, a threat is communicated which in turn allows, among other things, greater attention to be paid officially to "camouflage" charities and "terrorist" use of the Internet . Nevertheless, it is somewhat of a truism to note that terrorist violence is ultimately defined or characterized, for purposes of legal prohibition, within a highly politicized atmosphere. Starting with a short summary of "anti-terrorist" codification efforts made this century, this article examines some of the "security interests" cited by governments today in their respective struggles against "terrorism." More specifically, it is argued that individual perceptions of personal and societal threat are heightened unnecessarily not only by a constant stream of governmental "anti -terrorist" rhetoric , but further, by an awareness of official and un official methods of "anti-terrorist" surveillance, and the use to which the information so obtained can be put
Young Folk's Library of Choice Literature, Volume I, Number 2, April 1, 1894
No full textThis is a reproduction of the first nine fables of Aesop's Fables (1892) by the same author and publisher. Notice that Aesop represents the first material for the first grade in the five cent classics advertised inside the front cover. The title picture of FG is better printed here. Otherwise the illustrations here tend to be poorer. The publisher has expanded to San Francisco. No introduction or T of C. The grapes still smile on 10!Mara L. Prat
Opening Up OpenStack’s Identity Service
No full textOpenStack is a relatively new open source cloud computing project. It has rapidly become very popular since its first release on 21st October 2010. It has thousands of members, comprising technologists, developers, researchers, and cloud computing experts from 87 countries and more than 140 organisations.
Despite is openness until the University of Kent started to work with OpenStack, its Keystone identity service had no federated identity management capabilities, and all user accounts and passwords had to be stored in Keystone, usually in a backend LDAP directory.
This talk will describe the way that protocol independent federated access has been integrated into the core release of Keystone
