Bidle 1 1234567890():,; The blooming cosmopolitan coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi and its viruses (EhVs) are a model for density-dependent virulent dynamics. EhVs commonly exhibit rapid viral repro- duction and drive host death in high-density laboratory cultures and mesocosms that simulate blooms. Here we show that this system exhibits physiology-dependent temperate dynamics at environmentally relevant E. huxleyi host densities rather than virulent dynamics, with viruses switching from a long-term non-lethal temperate phase in healthy hosts to a lethal lytic stage as host cells become physiologically stressed. Using this system as a model for temperate infection dynamics, we present a template to diagnose temperate infection in other virus–host systems by integrating experimental, theoretical, and environmental approaches. Finding temperate dynamics in such an established virulent host–virus model system indicates that temperateness may be more pervasive than previously considered, and that the role of viruses in bloom formation and decline may be governed by host physiology rather than by host–virus densities. 1 Department of Marine and Coastal Science, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA.

  • Normative Labels in Two Lexicographic Traditions
    http://lexikos.journals.ac.za; https://doi.org/10.5788/30-1-1604 Normative Labels in Two Lexicographic Traditions: A Slovene–English Case Study Marjeta Vrbinc, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia ([email protected]) Danko Šipka, School for International Letters and Cultures, Arizona State University, Tempe Campus, USA ([email protected]) and Alenka Vrbinc, School of Economics and Business, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia ([email protected]) Abstract: This article presents and discusses the findings of a study conducted with the users of Slovene and American monolingual dictionaries. The aim was to investigate how native speakers of Slovene and American English interpret select normative labels in monolingual dictionaries. The data were obtained by questionnaires developed to elicit monolingual dictionary users' attitudes toward normative labels and the effects the labels have on dictionary users. The results show that a higher level of prescriptivism in the Slovene linguistic culture is reflected in the Slovene respon- dents' perception of the labels (for example, a stronger effect of the normative labels, a higher approval for the claim about usefulness of the labels, a considerably lower general level of accep- tance for the standard language) when compared with the American respondents' perception, since the American linguistic culture tends to be more descriptive. However, users often seek answers to their linguistic questions in dictionaries, which means that they expect at least a certain degree of normativity. Therefore, a balance between descriptive and prescriptive approaches should be found, since both of them affect the users.

  • L-Fil-Let/14 Critica Letteraria E Letterature Comparate
    DOTTORATO DI RICERCA IN STUDI UMANISTICI – TRADIZIONE E CONTEMPORANEITÀ CICLO XXX S.S.D.: L-FIL-LET/14 CRITICA LETTERARIA E LETTERATURE COMPARATE IL MITO CLASSICO NELLA DRAMMATURGIA DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE: I CICLI ARGONAUTICO, TEBANO E TROIANO Coordinatore: Chiar.ma Prof.ssa Cinzia Bearzot Tutor: Chiar.ma Prof.ssa Maria Pia Pattoni Tesi di Dottorato di Corrado Cuccoro Matricola: 4411568 Anno Accademico 2016/2017 1 Ai miei cari assenti 2 INTRODUZIONE La drammaturgia lusofona che a vario titolo si pone in rapporto dialettico con il retaggio culturale greco-latino costituisce un campo di esperienze sorprendentemente vasto e variegato, che solo nel corrente secolo ha attratto l’attenzione degli studiosi – portoghesi, primi tra tutti1 –, ausiliati dalle nuove risorse informatiche, in una prospettiva comparatistica sistematica e virtualmente ricettiva di ogni istanza intertestuale, in senso diacronico e sincronico, intralinguistico2 e interlinguistico (afferente cioè alle fonti greche e latine come alla produzione estera omologa3). Che il quadro teoretico di tale prospettiva rimanga d’altro canto non del tutto risolto anche per aspetti fondamentali (come si vedrà qui e nelle Considerazioni finali) si deve, almeno in parte, alla fase espansiva – verrebbe da dire “eruttiva” – della ricerca e alla parcellizzazione degli approcci disciplinari concomitanti, e talvolta concorrenti, nella galassia comparatistica: si pensi agli ormai imponenti Classical Reception Studies, Traductological Studies, Post-colonial Studies4, Gender Studies. Tanto in Portogallo quanto in Brasile, inoltre, gli studi tendono a concentrarsi sulla fortuna di singole figure mitiche o di determinati motivi greco-latini entro i rispettivi confini nazionali, magari sullo sfondo dei contesti geopolitici di appartenenza (l’Europa dell’Unione, l’America latina), laddove la storia e la lingua comuni dell’ex impero consentirebbero ricognizioni impregiudicate e più ambiziose5.

  • DIVINATION SYSTEMS Written by Nicole Yalsovac Additional Sections Contributed by Sean Michael Smith and Christine Breese, D.D
    DIVINATION SYSTEMS Written by Nicole Yalsovac Additional sections contributed by Sean Michael Smith and Christine Breese, D.D. Ph.D. Introduction Nichole Yalsovac Prophetic revelation, or Divination, dates back to the earliest known times of human existence. The oldest of all Chinese texts, the I Ching, is a divination system older than recorded history. James Legge says in his translation of I Ching: Book Of Changes (1996), “The desire to seek answers and to predict the future is as old as civilization itself.” Mankind has always had a desire to know what the future holds. Evidence shows that methods of divination, also known as fortune telling, were used by the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Babylonians and the Sumerians (who resided in what is now Iraq) as early as six‐thousand years ago. Divination was originally a device of royalty and has often been an essential part of religion and medicine. Significant leaders and royalty often employed priests, doctors, soothsayers and astrologers as advisers and consultants on what the future held. Every civilization has held a belief in at least some type of divination. The point of divination in the ancient world was to ascertain the will of the gods. In fact, divination is so called because it is assumed to be a gift of the divine, a gift from the gods. This gift of obtaining knowledge of the unknown uses a wide range of tools and an enormous variety of techniques, as we will see in this course. No matter which method is used, the most imperative aspect is the interpretation and presentation of what is seen.

  • Parabstruse Interview
    Parabstruse Interview Editor’s note: This interview was originally published on Sadness By Name back in January of 2010 as “Interview with Garry Brents of Parabstruse”. Garry Brents has been a close collaborator for many years and it was an absolute delight doing this interview with him three and a half years ago. Perhaps we will do a follow up to this interview in the future! -Hey Garry. Will you quickly introduce yourself, and mention your musical background to begin with? The bands you’ve been in, including collaborations. Hello, first of all I would like to thank you for the opportunity to be interviewed. My musical background started when I was at the age of 7. I started playing piano for a few years. I didn’t enjoy it at first, but I grew to like it. I’d always try to make up something instead of learn how to play other songs. A few years later, I learned how to play the trumpet but only played for 2 years. I wish I still knew how to play. When I got into High School is the time I started thinking about writing my own music. I took bass guitar lessons for 2 years, but continued to teach myself and learn more on my own. So I’ve been playing that instrument the longest for about 9 years now. I self-taught myself guitar based on some of the knowledge from bass lessons and just feeling it out, maybe 6 years ago. The list of bands that I’ve been in (serious or not) are the following in chronological order: Ghastrah Proxiima, Garrsinn, From a Residence of Stars & Gnosis (changed to smoosz in ’08), Lunarian Sea, Darkphone, Semen Across Lips, Synthetic Onslaught, Sugar Highlands, Parabstruse, Cara Neir, They Mostly Come Out At Night, bunrage, Writhe.

More recently, studies have neglected content analysis due to perceived homogeneity in themes, despite evidence that the modern genre is distinct from its past. As lyrical patterns are strong markers of genre, this study attempts to characterize heavy metal in the 21st century by analyzing lyrics for specific themes and perspectives. Citing evidence that the “Millennial” generation confers significant developments to popular culture, the contemporary genre is termed “Millennial heavy metal” throughout, and the study is framed accordingly.
