Recurrent ATM mutations in T-PLL on diverse haplotypes: no support for their germline origin
No full textAuthors on the Hill presents: Thomas R. Martin
No full textThomas R. Martin is the Jeremiah O’Connor Professor in Classics. As an undergraduate he studied abroad in Rome and earned his AB degree at Princeton University; as a graduate student he studied abroad in Athens and earned his PhD at Harvard University. He currently teaches courses on ancient Greek and Latin language and literature, Alexander the Great and Asia, and democracy and rhetoric. His scholarly publications concern a range of topics in ancient Greek and Latin historical authors and Greek and Roman history. Prof. Martin is also one of the founders of the online Perseus Project and the author of its overview of ancient Greek history. He has appeared in a number of video and recorded programs on ancient Greece and Rome. [See the list on pp. 11-12 in his current CV.] His most recent book is Phocion: Good Citizen in a Divided Democracy (Yale Univ. Press, 2024). Written for readers who are interested in the early development of democracy, but who are not specialists in ancient history, the book explores the lessons that we can today learn from thinking about the long and ultimately disastrous political career of the Athenian leader Phocion (ca. 402-318 BCE). Prof. Martin asks how and why Phocion initially became famous and influential among his fellow citizens at Athens, but then ended up being blamed and executed as a national traitor during the period of Athenians’ fall from being a leading international power and of the violent fracturing of their renowned “direct democracy.”https://crossworks.holycross.edu/aoth/1022/thumbnail.jp

"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
Full text linkBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Corvids and Canines in George R. R. Martin?s A Song of Ice and Fire
Full text linkThe series, A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin has become increasingly popular among readers even during a time when fantasy novels have decreased in popularity. This rise in readership and viewership (with the television series Game of Thrones), has effectively started several discussions about the methods and choices of the author in regards to the plot, symbols, and characters.
This paper will look at two characters within the novels, namely the corvids and the canines Martin uses as catalysts for furthering the plot and understanding the main characters. This paper examines the historical use of the two animals and their relationship with one another as well as how Martin uses them to engage with the reader
Namelessness in the Works of George R. R. Martin and Ursula Le Guin
No full textThe thesis explores the significance and implications of namelessness in fantasy literature on the example of A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin and the Earthsea series by Ursula Le Guin. The literary use of namelessness serves to develop characters, examine power structures, and challenge traditional notions of identity and belonging. The author uses various theoretical perspectives, including those of Josef Campbell, Carl Jung, Michel Foucault, Gérard Genette, Jane Bliss, and Lao Tzu to analyze the phenomenon. By drawing on these diverse perspectives and applying different methods of analysis, the thesis highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the study, drawing from theories in history, mythology, psychology, philosophy, and literary criticism

The soul of the voice: an interview with Trineice Robinson-Martin
No full textWithin the field of contemporary commercial singing (CCM) voice pedagogy, Dr Trineice Robinson-Martin has been instrumental in developing pedagogy for African American folk-based music styles including gospel, soul, jazz and R ’n B. In recognition of this pioneering contribution, Dr Robinson-Martin was recently inducted into the American Academy of Teachers of Singing. She is the first African American academy member to come from a contemporary commercial music background. Dr Robinson-Martin graduated from Teachers College Columbia University in 2010 with a Doctorate of Education in music education, and has since forged a successful career as a singer, pedagogue and researcher. She is the author of the NATS guide, So you want to sing gospel? A guide for performers and the upcoming Voice training for the gospel soloist. In addition to her publications, Dr Robinson-Martin is on faculty at Princeton University as the jazz voice instructor and director of jazz vocal ensembles, and maintains a busy career as a performer. As demonstrated in the following conversation, there is a strong philosophical vein which runs through her work. For Dr Robinson-Martin, “soul” is more than a genre or style, it is the very essence of who we are as singers—soul is that part of our voice which cradles the unique, expressive, and undeniable self. Dr Robinson-Martin’s experiences within the academy and the profession of singing teachers remind us that singing and its teaching is a broad church where the soul of each unique voice can find a home
Benjamin martin the linguist
No full textSummary
Benjamin Martin (1704–82) was a versatile character whose interests and abilities were varied and wide-spread; moreover, he was reasonably successful in practically everything he undertook. However, in a biography by John R. Millburn, Benjamin Martin: Author, Instrument-maker, and ‘Country Showman’ (Leyden, 1976), his linguistic career is not treated as fully as it might have been. In a period of almost 20 years (1748–66) Martin published one dictionary and two works on English grammar, all of which were later reprinted. Towards the end of his linguistic career he was still regarded as an authority on matters of lexicography, and his three works on language are discussed in several modern works on the history of linguistics. This paper, therefore, aims at completing the picture drawn by Millburn as far as Martin’s linguistic work is concerned but it also accounts for certain aspects about his workson language that have so far remained unexplained.</jats:p
