    American School of Valencia Library MLA STYLE GUIDE FOR BIBLIOGRAPHICAL CITATIONS Used primarily for: Liberal Arts and Humanities. Some general things to know: MLA calls the list of bibliographical citations at the end of a paper the “Works Cited” page, and not a bibliography. Also, like APA, MLA style does not use bibliographical footnotes, favoring instead in-text citations. Footnotes and endnotes are only used for the purposes of authorial commentary. For full entries, titles of books are italicized*, and in-text citations tend to be as brief as possible. See some common examples below. If you don’t see an example that fits the kind of source you have, consult an MLA style guide in the Library, or ask the Librarian. Every line after the first is indented in the full citation. And remember, pay close attention to the examples. Punctuation is very important. * (This reflects a change made in 2009. All information provided in this document is based on the 7th edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, available in the Library) For all examples below, the information following “Works Cited:” is what goes into your Works Cited page.

  • (Nhris) and Regional Human Rights Institutions
    HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS AS MEDIUM: NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS (NHRIS) AND REGIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS (RHRIS) IN ASIAN HUMAN RIGHTS CONTEXT A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of the Science of Law by Buhm Suk Baek August 2011 © 2011 Buhm Suk Baek HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS AS MEDIUM: NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS (NHRIS) AND REGIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS (RHRIS) IN ASIAN HUMAN RIGHTS CONTEXT Buhm Suk Baek, J.S.D. Cornell University 2011 The purpose of my dissertation is to examine whether and how national human rights institutions (NHRIs) can be a driving force for the establishment of regional human rights institutions (RHRIs) in the Asia-Pacific region, which remains the only region without such institutions in contrast to Europe, the Americas, and Africa. I first explore the issue of whether RHRIs are desirable in this region, and argue that such a system is desirable. Then I examine the reasons why RHRIs have not emerged in this region. I located these reasons in part by examining the reception of human rights in Asia and issues like the emergence of international human rights law from the Western cultural heritage, and the problematic question of what the Asian way of human rights means. The analysis of the obstacles that have hampered the creation of RHRIs leads me to focus on NHRIs. By reviewing the role that NHRIs can play in addressing the concerns and inhibitions of Asian states, while furthering the aims of international human rights law, I maintain that the way in which NHRIs collaborate demonstrates that they can be eminent actors toward the establishment of RHRIs.

  • Nutraceutical Properties of Leucaena Leucocephala, Manihot Esculenta
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Nutraceutical properties of Leucaena leucocephala, Manihot esculenta, Cajanus cajan and a foliage blend in goat kids infected with Haemonchus contortus Nathalie Minatchy1, Carine Marie-Magdeleine1, Miguel Garin1, Ferdy Nimirf2, Dimitri Romil- Granville2, Lucien Philibert1, Valeriuse Calif1, Jean-Christophe Bambou1 & Harry Archimède1 ✉ Protein and condensed tannin-rich foliage (TRF) are potentially useful as nutraceuticals. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the diet and anthelmintic properties of three TRF types both individually and in combination. We hypothesized that synergistic or antagonistic efects on feed and anthelmintic values related to associations between TRF types may occur. Nutritional and anthelmintic characteristics of Leucaena leucocephala, Manihot esculenta, Cajanus cajan and a mixture of the compounds were evaluated using alfalfa pellets as a control. TRF ingredients were combined with Dichantium hay (48 and 52% of dry matter intake respectively) in mixed diets were consumed by Creole goat kids. Measurements were carried out in animals without parasites and in animals artifcially infected with Haemonchus contortus. Individual feed intake and the digestibility of each diet was measured along with kid growth. There were no signifcant diferences between the growth rates of pre-infected animals and animals fed mixed diets that included alfalfa. A strong anthelmintic activity is observed with Leucaena leucocephala contrary to other TRFs. This work confrms variable dietary and anthelmintic properties of TRF. The combination of TRF did not have synergistic or antagonistic efects on feed value or the anthelmintic potential of TRF. Te fght for food security and considerations regarding the worsening of global warming have produced public opinion that is increasingly hostile to the use of synthetic chemical molecules in the food production chain, which prompted us to evaluate existing agro systems and farming practices1.

  • Filmic Tomboy Narrative and Queer Feminist Spectatorship
    UNHAPPY MEDIUM: FILMIC TOMBOY NARRATIVE AND QUEER FEMINIST SPECTATORSHIP A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Lynne Stahl May 2015 © 2015 Lynne Stahl ALL RIGHTS RESERVED UNHAPPY MEDIUM: FILMIC TOMBOY NARRATIVE AND QUEER FEMINIST SPECTATORSHIP Lynne Stahl, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2015 ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the ways in which American discourses of gender, sexuality, and emotion structure filmic narrative and the ways in which filmic narrative informs those discourses in turn. It approaches this matter through the figure of the tomboy, vastly undertheorized in literary scholarship, and explores the nodes of resistance that film form, celebrity identity, and queer emotional dispositions open up even in these narratives that obsessively domesticate their tomboy characters and pair them off with male love interests. The first chapter theorizes a mode of queer feminist spectatorship, called infelicitous reading, around the incoherently “happy” endings of tomboy films and obligatorily tragic conclusions of lesbian films; the second chapter links the political and sexual ambivalences of female-centered sports films to the ambivalent results of Title IX; and the third chapter outlines a type of queer reproductivity and feminist paranoia that emerges cumulatively in Jodie Foster’s body of work. Largely indebted to the work of Judith Butler, Lauren Berlant, and Sara Ahmed, this project engages with past and present problematics in the fields of queer theory, feminist film criticism, and affect studies—questions of nondichotomous genders, resistant spectatorship and feminist potential within linear narrative, and the chronological cues that dominant ideology builds into our understandings of gender, sexuality, narrative, and emotions.

It was also no longer able to to do it and thus actuate the cope with the increasing number of necessary tests which created a bottleneck at the end of production. breaker. This was a decisive step for us.» Therefore, Andreas Brauchli started looking for a reliable and automated testing solution for routine tests on their single- and two-pole outdoor medium-voltage vacuum CBs with an electronically-controlled magnetic actuator (17.5 kV – 27.5 kV). These CBs are mainly used for railway applications. During his research Andreas Brauchli found out that we have a CB test set for medium- and high-voltage CBs called CIBANO 500. “In early 2014 we had already purchased a CMC 356 from OMICRON for testing the protection relays on our medium-voltage switch- Jakob Hämmerle gear that we were quite happy with,” Andreas Brauchli remem- Application Engineer, OMICRON bers. “Therefore, in the beginning of October 2014 I sent an email to OMICRON with some basic information and a description of our necessary measuring tasks.” Testing and decision phase We quickly set up a task force of two experts which took Andreas Brauchli’s information and developed an automated test configu- ration for the integration of CIBANO 500 in the ABB production Magnetically-actuated vacuum CB line.

    _____________________________________________________________________________________ Newsletter – January 2020 Women’s Suffrage Film Series Saturdays at 2:00 pm on January 18, January 25, and February 1, 2020 The three -part Women’s Suffrage Film Series is co- sponsored by the Bennington Branch of AAUW, the Bennington Free Library, and the Bennington Center for the Performing Arts – Home of Oldcastle Theatre. Three Saturday afternoon screenings, followed by discussions, will trace the American women’s suffrage movement from just after the Civil War through the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. All programs will begin at 2:00 pm and are free and open to the public. Not for Ourselves Alone (Part Two) will be shown on January 18 at Oldcastle Theatre. This documentary by Ken Burns sets the stage for the series through an intimate, loving and sometimes fiery portrayal of the suffrage movement’s “miracle partnership” between Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. A discussion will follow the film. Also at Oldcastle Theatre, Suffragettes in the Silent Cinema will be shown on January 25. Following the movement into the "modern age,” this documentary— which contains clips from a variety of silent films—is a time capsule from the dawn of women's suffrage as a mass movement. It looks at how the new medium of film was used for messaging by anti-suffragists and suffragists alike. Director, historian and novelist Kay Sloan will introduce the film via Skype; the discussion afterwards will be led by Jyotika Virdi, professor of Cinema Studies at the University of Windsor in Ontario. (continued on page 2) Page 1 of 3 We switch to the Bennington Free Library on February 1 for Iron Jawed Angels, a feature film by Katja von Garnier.
