Stubbs2† 1Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, Department of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley CA, USA. 2Departments of Physics and of Astronomy, Harvard University, Cambridge MA, USA. *Correspondence to: [email protected]. † Both authors contributed equally to the writing of the manuscript. Abstract We present a mechanism by which organisms with only a single photoreceptor, that have a monochromatic view of the world, can achieve color discrimination. The combination of an off- axis pupil and the principle of chromatic aberration (where light of different colors focus at different distances behind a lens) can combine to provide “color-blind” animals with a way to distinguish colors. As a specific example we constructed a computer model of the visual system of cephalopods, (octopus, squid, and cuttlefish) that have a single unfiltered photoreceptor type. Nevertheless, cephalopods dramatically change color both to produce chromatically-matched camouflage and to signal conspecifics. This presents a paradox – an apparent ability to determine color in organisms with a monochromatic visual system – that has been a long-standing puzzle. We demonstrate that chromatic blurring dominates the visual acuity in these animals, and we quantitatively show how chromatic aberration can be exploited, especially through non-axial pupils that are characteristic of cephalopods, to obtain spectral information.

  • Werewere Liking, Sony Labou Tansi, and Tchicaya U Tam'si
    WEREWERE LIKING, SONY LABOU TANSI, AND TCHICAYA U TAM’SI: PIONEERS OF “NEW THEATER” IN FRANCOPHONE AFRICA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Salome Wekisa Fouts, B.A., M.A ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor John-Conteh-Morgan, Adviser _________________________________ Professor Karlis Racevskis, Adviser _________________________________ Advisers Professor Jennifer Willging Department of French and Italian Copyright by Salome Wekisa Fouts 2004 ABSTRACT This dissertation is an analysis of “new African theater” as illustrated in the works of three francophone African writers: the late Congolese Sony Labou Tansi (formerly known as Marcel Ntsony), the late Congolese Félix Tchicaya, who wrote under the pseudonym Tchicaya U Tam’si, and the Cameroonian Werewere Liking. The dissertation examines plays by these authors and illustrates how the plays clearly stand apart from mainstream modern French-language African theater. The introduction, in Chapter 1 provides an explanation of the meaning that has been assigned to the term “new African theater.” It presents an overview of the various innovative structural and linguistic techniques new theater playwrights use that render their work avant-garde. The chapter also studies how new theater playwrights differ from mainstream ones, especially in the way they address and present their concerns regarding the themes of oppression, rebellion, and the outcome of rebellion. The information provided in this chapter serves as a springboard to the primary focus of the dissertation, which is a detailed theoretical and textual analysis of experimental strategies used by the three playwrights in the areas of theme, form, and language.

  • MINDSPACE: Influencing Behaviour Through Public
    MINDSPACE Influencing behaviour through public policy 2 Discussion document – not a statement of government policy Contents Foreword 4 Executive Summary 7 Introduction: Understanding why we act as we do 11 MINDSPACE: A user‟s guide to what affects our behaviour 18 Examples of MINDSPACE in public policy 29 Safer communities 30 The good society 36 Healthy and prosperous lives 42 Applying MINDSPACE to policy-making 49 Public permission and personal responsibility 63 Conclusions and future challenges 73 Annexes 80-84 MINDSPACE diagram 80 New possible approaches to current policy problems 81 New frontiers of behaviour change: Insight from experts 83 References 85 Discussion document – not a statement of government policy 3 Foreword Influencing people‟s behaviour is nothing new to Government, which has often used tools such as legislation, regulation or taxation to achieve desired policy outcomes. But many of the biggest policy challenges we are now facing – such as the increase in people with chronic health conditions – will only be resolved if we are successful in persuading people to change their behaviour, their lifestyles or their existing habits. Fortunately, over the last decade, our understanding of influences on behaviour has increased significantly and this points the way to new approaches and new solutions. So whilst behavioural theory has already been deployed to good effect in some areas, it has much greater potential to help us. To realise that potential, we have to build our capacity and ensure that we have a sophisticated understanding of what does influence behaviour. This report is an important step in that direction because it shows how behavioural theory could help achieve better outcomes for citizens, either by complementing more established policy tools, or by suggesting more innovative interventions.

  • 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 CALENDAR Dear Friends
    MCPHERSON EYE RESEARCH INSTITUTE 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 CALENDAR Dear Friends, During the 2015-2016 academic year, the McPherson Eye Research Institute passed its frst ten-year milestone, and did so in our customary way – by looking towards the future as well as the past. The Institute’s growth over the past ten years, outlined on the page below, has been remarkable and full of individual and collaborative research achievements. All of us who have worked to establish and grow the McPherson ERI know full well, however, that much work remains to be done in fnding cures for the most intractable blinding diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. We celebrate our successes – and there are important new discoveries each year, as you’ll see outlined in the research pages of this report – but we keep our eyes focused on building the Institute and its path ahead. The people who form the community around the Institute are the foundation for the work that we do. Collaborative research is the Institute’s goal and core belief, but we know that extraordinary collaborative teams are composed of extraordinary individuals. This is true of the world-class scientists who form our unparalleled lab research teams. It’s also true of our dedicated donors and other supporters – from the teams of blind and sighted riders who participate in Cycle for Sight each year, to our Advisory Board, to connected individuals and families who support the Institute with both resources and advice. Sandra and Dr. Monroe Trout have been true friends of the McPherson ERI since we were introduced to them in 2012.

    University of South Carolina Aiken Vo l u m e 12 , Words, Words, Words 20 13 The Annual English Department Polonius: What do you read, my lord? Newsletter Hamlet: Words, words, words. Act II, Scene II From The Chair For academic year 2013-14, USCA is launching a new strategic plan with the intent of moving the campus forward under the leadership of our new chancellor, Dr. Sandra Jordan. This is a good time for the Department to take stock of its current efforts and to plan ahead for the future. To that end, our faculty periodically reexamines the English curriculum to make sure that we are responding both to the needs of our students and the expectations of a rapidly changing socie- ty. This fall, for example, we revised our minor in professional writing to intro- duce a new gateway course, ENGL 245: Writing in the Workplace. We hope that this new offering will help USCA better meet the demand of employers for individuals who are conversant with typical workplace formats such as proce- dural writing and grant writing. Today’s corporate leaders consistently cite writing proficiency as one of the three skills they value most in their employ- ees. Just as the members of our faculty continually monitor the curricu- lum to keep the educational experience of our students engaging and relevant, the scholar-teachers that make up the Department of English challenge them- selves to reach new heights of productivity. After all, to demand scholarship of our students, we ourselves must be active scholars. This year alone, members of the English faculty completed or are in the process of completing seven book projects; they published over 30 shorter scholarly or creative works; they presented nearly 20 papers at professional conferences.

Production (i) Natural methanol is produced by neutralisation of the products of distillation of hardwood with lime. The commercial variety contains impurities – i to 2% of propyl and allyl alcohol, aldehyde, methyl acetate, acetone and other organic compounds (Koelsch, 1921). (2) Synthetic methanol is obtained by passing a mixture of CO2 and H2 at high pressure and temperature over a catalyst. This method now produces considerably more methanol than the natural process.
