University of Cincinnati UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI Date: 25-May-2010 I, Erica G Dawson , hereby submit this original work as part of the requirements for the degree of: Doctor of Philosophy in English & Comparative Literature It is entitled: Cottontail Student Signature: Erica G Dawson This work and its defense approved by: Committee Chair: Donald Bogen, PhD Donald Bogen, PhD 6/6/2010 851 Cottontail A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in the Department of English and Comparative Literatures of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences May 2010 by Erica Gloria Dawson B.A., The Johns Hopkins University, 2001 M.F.A., The Ohio State University, 2006 Committee Chair: Dr. Don Bogen Abstract: Cottontail presents a collection of poems informed by Early Modern British Literature and American Poetry since 1900, focusing on their definitions of self-fashioning discourse and authorship while highlighting respective important themes and popular poetics, revealing the ways in which the Early Modern period is a foundation for today’s poetry. The Early Modern poets, in their attempts to define the Self vs. Other (attempts mediated by changing perceptions of public and private space as mid-17th century bourgeois society increasingly places the body within the confines of cozy, candle-lit chambers), initialize the search for a more complex understanding of experience dependent on subjectivity and predicated on interactions with others. These poets expressed these shifting perceptions within the poetic restrictiveness of traditional forms; these forms, however, prove generative as each author becomes a kind of idolatrous iconoclast: preserving the traditions of the past while generating new traditions of their own. The modern voices of Cottontail display a contemporary author’s writing of the self, utilizing theories of a Neoplatonic World Soul, popular with Early Modern poets, where the intellectual realm is very much linked to the material realm. The poems also employ Foucault’s theory of an author whose writing does not obliterate the self but rather builds it. The voices of Cottontail create a compilation of a marginalized self (a poet, black and female), reliant on the careful manipulation of language in a specific, transformative, and present historical moment in our country’s narrative. iii iv Acknowledgments I want to thank the editors of the following journals where these poems (some under different titles and in different versions) first appeared: “Five Minutes from the River,” “Tar Baby,” Raintown Review, Spring 2010 “Go ‘Head Girl, Go ‘Head Get Down,” “Repossessed,” “Stasimon,” Avatar Review, Spring 2010 “A Monkey and a Man,” The Nervous Breakdown, January 2010 “Freakshow,” The Country Dog Review, Spring 2009 “One Fish Two Fish,” Verse Daily, Spring 2009 “Mojo like a Mofo,” Verse Daily, Spring 2009 “I’ve Got Anima-Soul and I’m Superbad,” “Mean Ol’ Wind Died Down,” “Mojo like a Mofo,” The Harvard Review, Winter 2009 “One Fish Two Fish,” Raintown Review, Winter 2009 “For Astrophil,” Alehouse Review, No. 3, Fall 2008 “Intermission,” The Warwick Review, Fall 2008 “As It Were,” Sewanee Theological Review, Vol. 51: 4, Fall 2008 “Little Black Boy Heads,” Iron Horse Literary Review, Spring 2008 I want to extend enormous thanks to the University of Cincinnati, Professors Jon Kamholtz, John Drury, and especially Don Bogen; and, the Albert C.

  • A Prophylactic Α-Gal-Based Glycovaccine Effectively Protects Against Murine Acute Chagas Disease
    www.nature.com/npjvaccines ARTICLE OPEN A prophylactic α-Gal-based glycovaccine effectively protects against murine acute Chagas disease Susana Portillo1, Brenda G. Zepeda1, Eva Iniguez1, Janet J. Olivas1, Nasim H. Karimi1, Otacilio C. Moreira2, Alexandre F. Marques1,3, Katja Michael4, Rosa A. Maldonado1 and Igor C. Almeida 1 Chagas disease (ChD), caused by the hemoflagellate parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, affects six to seven million people in Latin America. Lately, it has become an emerging public health concern in nonendemic regions such as North America and Europe. There is no prophylactic or therapeutic vaccine as yet, and current chemotherapy is rather toxic and has limited efficacy in the chronic phase of the disease. The parasite surface is heavily coated by glycoproteins such as glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored mucins (tGPI-mucins), which display highly immunogenic terminal nonreducing α-galactopyranosyl (α-Gal)-containing glycotopes that are entirely absent in humans. The immunodominant tGPI-mucin α-Gal glycotope, the trisaccharide Galα1,3Galβ1,4GlcNAc (Galα3LN), elicits high levels of protective T. cruzi-specific anti-α-Gal antibodies in ChD patients in both the acute and chronic phases. Although glycoconjugates are the major parasite glycocalyx antigens, they remain completely unexplored as potential ChD vaccine candidates. Here we investigate the efficacy of the T. cruzi immunodominant glycotope Galα3LN, covalently linked to a carrier protein (human serum albumin (HSA)), as a prophylactic vaccine candidate in the acute model of ChD, using the α1,3- galactosyltransferase-knockout (α1,3GalT-KO) mouse, which mimics the human immunoresponse to α-Gal glycotopes. Animals vaccinated with Galα3LN-HSA were fully protected against lethal T.

    MCA 700 Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan MCA-700 Midline/Reissue Series: By the time the reissue series reached MCA-700, most of the ABC reissues had been accomplished in the MCA 500-600s. MCA decided that when full price albums were converted to midline prices, the albums needed a new number altogether rather than just making the administrative change. In this series, we get reissues of many MCA albums that were only one to three years old, as well as a lot of Decca reissues. Rather than pay the price for new covers and labels, most of these were just stamped with the new numbers in gold ink on the front covers, with the same jackets and labels with the old catalog numbers.

  • Discography of the Turbo Label
    The Labels of Joe and Sylvia Robinson The All-Platinum Label was formed by Joe and Sylvia Robinson, husband and wife in New Jersey in 1969. Sylvia Robinson was one-half of the duo Mickey and Sylvia of “Love is Strange” fame. George Kerr and the Robinson’s were responsible for A&R. Joe Robinson had parlayed a music publishing company that he established years before in New York into the All-Platinum, Stang, and Turbo record labels. Artists included his wife Sylvia, The Moments, Brother to Brother, Shirley and Company, Linda Jones, Jack McDuff and Chuck Jackson The labels were All-Platinum, Stang, Turbo and Vibration. All-Platinum distributed Charisma (US) which released Malcolm X recordings, More which released Eldridge Cleaver recordings and Maple which released R&B and Psychedelic. In the late 70’s All-Platinum went bankrupt. The Robinson’s then formed Sugar Hill Records in 1979 with Milton Malden and financial funding of Morris Levy, the owner of Roulette Records and pioneered Rap Music The Sugar Hill label's first record was "Rapper's Delight" (1979) by The Sugarhill Gang, which was also the first Top 40 hip hop single. Afterwards Grandmaster Flash, The Sequence, Funky Four Plus One, Crash Crew, Kool Moe Dee, The West Street Mob, and Melle Mel joined the label. Sugar Hill's in-house producer and arranger was Clifton "Jiggs" Chase. The in-house recording engineer was Steve Jerome. Al Goodman, leader of The Moments, ran the show and George Kerr was a major producer. Joe and Sylvia's sons Joey and Leland were also active in the business.

Experimental samples Three types of experiments at controlled laboratory conditions have been performed to produce synthetic Au-bearing sulfarsenide minerals (Tables S-1, S-2). Two hydrothermal types (MA, CE and LO series, Table S-1) in the presence of aqueous solution were conducted at temperature (T) of 450 °C and pressures (P) of 700–750 bar. The choice of these T-P parameters for hydrothermal MA, CE et LO series is dictated by the following reasons: i) they the pertinent to T-P conditions of hydrothermal ore deposits hosting sulfarsenide minerals in the Earth’s crust (~150–600 °C and <5 kbar) being roughly in the middle of the typical T-P window for magmatic porphyry Cu-Mo-Au and metamorphic Au ore deposits (e.g., Goldfarb et al.,

  • Leech-Wilkinson, Compositions, Scores, Performances, Meanings
    Volume 18, Number 1, April 2012 Copyright © 2012 Society for Music Theory Compositions, Scores, Performances, Meanings Daniel Leech-Wilkinson NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.12.18.1/mto.12.18.1.leech-wilkinson.php KEYWORDS: Performance, Performance Style, Theory, Analysis, Ontology ABSTRACT: The standard model of musical transmission, in which composers embody their intentions in works which they encode in scores which performers (and scholars in their imagination) decode as accurately as possible for audiences, is unpicked in the light of the evidence of recorded performance. It is replaced with a model that recognizes the large extent to which performances trigger the generation of musical meaning in the minds of listeners, and the extent to which changes in performance style cause those meanings to change. Some implications for thought about music are considered. Received January 2012 I [1.1] It is still generally assumed that musical meaning is encoded in works by composers. I say “still” because there has been a lot of research, and a fair number of publications over the past two decades, that raise doubts about that easy assumption, yet none of it seems to have made much difference to the way scores are taught, analyzed, or discussed. Studies of specific instances of musical affect frequently treat the composer as if s/he were the principal agent of meaning. “Schubert lingers affectively on this glimpse of bucolic happiness, though without slackening the pace of the song” (Kramer 1998, 129). “Beethoven hurls forth the P 0 module, Allegro vivace, in a set of three impetuous, downward-cast precipitations, measures 1–8” (Hepokoski 2010, 11).
