Abstract:
Abstract Can Cognitive Metaphor Theory (CMT) be applied productively to the study of mimicry in zoosemiotics and ethology? In this theoretical comparison of selected case studies, I would like to propose that biological mimicry is a type of biosemiotic metaphor. At least two major parallels between cognitive metaphors in human cognition and mimicry among animals justify viewing the two phenomena as isomorphic. First—from the semiotic point of view—the argument is that both metaphor and mimicry are cases of semiotic transfer (etymologically: metaphor) of the identity / sign of the source onto the perceived identity / sign of the target. This identity transfer, in turn, triggers appropriate changes in the response (behavior) of the surrounding (human or animal) interpreters (e.g. predators). Semiotically, the mimicry turns the body of its bearer into a sign of something else, resulting in the interpreters’ (e.g. predators’) perception of species X as species Y—hence, a type of embodied sign and cognitive metaphor. Second, ecologically, a species occupying one niche (e.g. a moth: non-venomous, herbivorous primary consumer) is perceived and identified as an occupant of a different niche (e.g. a hornet: venomous, omnivorous predator). Thus, a potential predator’s Umwelt is affected by its perceiving a hornet moth as “a hornet” where there is, in fact, a moth, and its response to this stimulus will not be predation but avoidance. In terms of CMT, we could call this a biosemiotic metaphor (bio-metaphor), e.g. “A MOTH IS A HORNET” or “PREY IS A PREDATOR”. Further correspondences between mimicry and metaphor include the fact that this bio-metaphorical identification by mimicry does not typically require a “perfect” resemblance between the source and the target sign (or species); this seems to correspond to the prototype categorization in CMT where categories are “open-ended” and only a partial similarity is sufficient for metaphorical identification (compare Lakoff, Johnson 1980; Rosch 1983). Such an identification of mimicry as metaphor could be based on Prodi’s argument that “hermeneutics is not a late product of culture, but the same elementary movement of life that is born because something obscurely interprets something else” (Eco 2018: 350; Kull 2018, 352—364). Inasmuch as animal Umwelten are interconnected inter alia by this natural hermeneutics, the trans-disciplinary approach to the study eco-zoosemiotic interpretants on the basis of metaphor-mimicry isomorphism could open new opportunities in comparative studies of semiosis in human and animal cognition and interactions.

Abstract:
AbstractA survey of 801 poplar trees in central east England in 1999 demonstrated a correlation between crown dieback and infestation by hornet clearwing moth (Sesia apiformis), induced by a period of drought in 1995–1996. To determine whether trees colonised by S. apiformis would subsequently deteriorate and die or whether they could recover despite infestation and damage to the stem, all trees in the original survey were re-assessed in 2001, 2003 and 2005. The repeat surveys showed that trees with 70% or less crown dieback in 1999 replaced their canopy and generally improved by 2005, irrespective of the numbers of S. apiformis in the stem, whereas trees that had 75% or more crown dieback in 1999 either died or declined further. The presence of S. apiformis did not prevent tree recovery, and there was little evidence that infestation slowed the rate of recovery. Populations of S. apiformis, measured in terms of the numbers of adult emergence holes visible in the base of the trees, decreased between 2001 and 2005 at the same time as the amount of dieback visible in the canopy of the poplars markedly decreased. However, the fall in numbers of emergence holes at this time reflected a decline in larval establishment 2–3 years earlier, and indicated that the moth population had responded to a more rapid restoration in the internal state of the trees, which was not reflected immediately by the gradual replacement of dead branches and reduction in dieback symptoms.

Abstract:
Background: Horner syndrome caused by metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is not common, and when diagnosed, may have serious clinical implications. We aim at highlighting the clinical significance of this finding. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts of 6 patients with Horner syndrome secondary to metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in the neck. Results: All 6 patients had pathologically confirmed nodal metastatic HNSCC. There was one unknown primary and in the remaining 5 patients the primary tumor was identified in the oropharynx, larynx, and oral cavity. Three patients died within 1 month of diagnosis, before initiation of any treatment. One patient received radiation only while 2 patients received chemoradiation with cisplatin as the tumors were unresectable given carotid sheath involvement. Median survival was 4.5 months. Only 1 out of the 6 patients survived and had complete resolution of Horner syndrome after treatment. Conclusion: This is the first case series of neck metastasis from mucosal HNSCC as an unusual cause of Horner syndrome and is usually associated with very poor prognosis.

Abstract:
Abstract Veterinary examination of Icelandic competition horses, according to a specially designed protocol 'fit for competition', is performed prior to every entrance to the track during Landsmót, the National Championships of the Icelandic horse. This has provided valuable data for welfare assessment that have been used for improvement of general rules for the benefit of competition horses. It further prevents suffering on an individual level as horses expressing pain during the examination are found not to be fit for competition and are not allowed to start or continue competition during the event. The frequency of bit-related lesions can be regarded as a welfare indicator for Icelandic competition horses, reflecting the pressure placed on the mouth of the horse.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on two mid-century American screen equines who possess the power of speech: Francis, a patriotic U.S. Army mule serving during WWII, and Mr. Ed, a palomino horse living in the suburbanizing postwar San Fernando Valley. Contextualizing Arthur Lubin’s wildly popular Francis films (1950–1956) and Mr. Ed television series (1961–1966) within the tradition of talking horses in literary classics such as The Iliad and Gulliver’s Travels—and also in relation to mid-twentieth-century American debates around gender—the chapter argues that Francis and Mr. Ed’s ventriloquial voices not only serve as vehicles for a critique of traditional masculinity, but also channel some startlingly queer and post-human interspecies alternatives to human heteronormativity.

Abstract:
This chapter moves readers from Andrew Smith’s adolescence-as-dystopia to the popular animated Netflix series Big Mouth, which represents adolescence as a horror show. Like Grasshopper Jungle, Big Mouth provides audiences with monstrous avatars for the storm and stress of adolescence. Instead of horny, rampaging mutant mantises, however, Big Mouth offers viewers Hormone Monsters, haunted houses, ghosts, and other Gothic tropes as embodiments of those anxieties that surround puberty and its horrifying humiliations. Unlike Grasshopper Jungle, Big Mouth universalizes queerness, celebrates the polymorphous perversity of childhood, and uses camp to defuse many of the anxieties that attend other representations of adolescent sexuality. Big Mouth offers us a kind of camp with strong ties to shame—what Kathryn Bond Stockton calls “dark camp”—and illustrates how shame and debasement can function as a powerful model of relationality, one that unites the show’s young protagonists through shared queer feelings.

Kelso earned regional fame as a hunter of rebel bandits and bushwhackers. Stories about him spread by word of mouth and lingered into the later nineteenth century. Rebels called him a cruel monster; Unionists hailed him as the Hero of the South West. He was remembered as a polite, scholarly man who read books of philosophy or German grammar in camp, rode a charmed horse named Hawk Eye, and carried an oversized shotgun. He was renowned for his “individual heroism,” his fearlessness, and for fighting like a “tiger” in hand-to-hand combat. In the summer of 1863, however, his luck temporarily ran out when he was hit by a shotgun blast and crushed beneath his fallen horse.

Abstract:
These are times which may not yet try our souls, but surely they tempt our spirits. It was but a few years ago that the current drug czar, then chairman of the federal agency dispensing opportunity to humanists, initiated a public campaign to reestablish as the basis of humanistic study a five, or maybe a two-and-a-half foot shelf of great books. These would, presumably, teach us, or at least the youth consigned to us, the central virtues: to quote William Bennett, “not to betray your friends, your God or your country.” Across Washington, the National Institute of Education issued a report suggesting that American higher education suffered from a deep head cold that, were it not properly treated, could easily develop into pneumonia. The treatment, among other things, was an expansion of the liberal arts, and perhaps a return to old-fashioned general education and distribution requirements. Dutifully pursuing the theme, reports of prestigious private organizations like the Association of American Colleges sounded the trumpet of reform. And then, as if in answer to these calls, President Reagan appointed a humanist, an academic, the very initiator of this campaign to revive the humanities and the study of Western civilization as Secretary of Education. And not, as it became apparent, to preside over the dismemberment of that federal department, but to reestablish in education traditional American virtues. It seemed like a humanist's dream, this federally-sanctioned campaign to restore the importance of our disciplines, to “place at the heart of the college curriculum” the “study of the humanities and Western civilization,” and a colleague in high place to put money behind the mouth. And besides, for many of us the very notion of reviving general education requirements, and especially the study of Western civilization, is itself appealing, regardless of money or power. So perhaps it would seem best not to look a gift horse too closely in the mouth, even if the emerging winds bring more than a whiff of sectarian values.

Gambling is an ancient human activity. We indulge ourselves by allowing ourselves to experience the dangers and thrills of chance in a somewhat controlled way. The history of lotteries and related games is explored. The chances of drawing various poker hands are laid out. The role of probability in horse racing is described, and how the odds quoted are not strictly statements of probability, but terms on which business is to be done. Political prediction betting markets give us a further interpretation of probability as a way of expressing strength of opinion in a quantifiable, albeit flawed way. Wagers encourage boasters to put their money where their mouth is, and so to quantify their degree of belief.

Abstract:
The muscles of the head consist of the chewing muscles (temporalis, masseter, and digastric) and the facial muscles (zygomaticus, orbicularis oris, etc.). The chewing muscles are thick and volumetric, and they originate and insert on bone. They open and close the lower jaw, with the action taking place at the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint). The facial muscles are thin. They originate either from the skull or from the surface of other muscles, and they generally insert into other facial muscles or into the skin. When they contract, they move the features of the face (eyes, nose, mouth, ears). As they pull the facial features, they often gather the skin into folds and wrinkles that lie perpendicular to the direction of their muscular fibers (perpendicular to the direction of pull). The mouth region receives the most muscles; therefore, it is the most mobile part of the face. Some facial muscles are so thin that they do not create any direct form on the surface (caninus, malaris, orbicularis oculi), whereas other facial muscles or their tendons may create surface form directly (buccinator, levator labii maxillaris, zygomaticus, and depressor labii mandibularis). Facial muscles are generally more visible on the surface in the horse and the ox than in the dog and feline. The facial muscles, as they move the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, generate whatever facial expressions animals are capable of producing. . . . • Attachment: A short ligament at the inner corner of the eye, whose inner end attaches to the skull. . . . . . . • Action: Eyelid portion: closes eyelids (blinking), primarily by depressing the upper eyelid. Outer portion: tightens and compresses the skin surrounding the eye, protecting the eyeball. . . . . . . • Structure: The orbicularis oculi is a flat, elliptical muscle consisting of two portions. The eyelid portion lies in the upper and lower eyelids, and the outer portion surrounds the eye and lies on the skull. . . .

Abstract:
This paper discusses relative merits of three types of air filtration systems used by Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Ltd. (Pakistan), on its gas turbine compressor packages. These Filtration systems are: (i) Two stage inertial plus auto oil bath type multi-duty filters by AAF used on Saturn Mark–I packages manufactured by Solar Turbines Inc. (ii) Three stage high efficiency barrier filters by AAF used on Centaur packages by Solar. (iii) Single stage pulse-jet self-cleaning filter by Donaldson again used on a Centaur package. The selection is primarily based on package performance data collected over a 15 month period analyzing power loss due to fouling effects and related operation and maintenance costs for the three systems. The Company’s operating experience indicates that on new installations the pulse clean system offers the best advantage both in terms of filtration costs as well as availability of additional horse power when operating under moderate to severe environmental conditions.

Abstract:
In 1998, TVA undertook the implementation of Selective Catalytic Reduction systems at the Paradise Generating Station. The station has three fossil-fired cyclone boilers totaling 2515 Mw of power generation which have been online since the early 1960s for Paradise Units 1 and 2, and since 1970 for Unit 3. Design efforts started late 1998 with Paradise Unit 2, a 704 Mw cyclone-fired unit that went into operation for the May 2000 ozone season. This was followed by Paradise Unit 1, an identical 704 Mw unit that went into operation for the May 2001 ozone season. Paradise Unit 3, an 1107 Mw unit, is currently in manufacture and erection for placement into service for the 2003 ozone season. The Paradise Units 1 & 2 SCR modules are among the largest single modules in service for treating the entire flue gas path. The system design considered the operation of the boiler without overfire air NOx control, where the emission of NOx would be 688.5 g/GJ (1.6 lb/MMBtu) and with overfire air NOx emission of 370 g/GJ (0.86 lb/MMBtu). Paradise Units 1 & 2 are fitted with scrubbers and burn a high sulfur fuel. Paradise 3, not currently fitted with a scrubber, fires a blend of PRB and Utah bituminous coal. The SCR is configured with two modules. The SCR project guarantees are 90% NOx reduction, 2-ppm ammonia slip and a catalyst life of 20,000 hours. Each of the cyclone units retained their tubular air heaters. Each unit required the erection of either temporary or new ductwork from the air heater to the downstream equipment to allow the demolition of equipment that had been part of the gas path but is no longer in service. The old equipment had to be removed to permit the building of the SCRs. Each SCR unit is equipped with a full flow bypass and man-safe dampers. These man-safe dampers permitted the construction and maintenance of the SCR while the boiler was in operation. Paradise Unit 2’s SCR was fitted with steam soot blowers. Sonic horns were tested on a section of Unit 2 and based on the results, Paradise Unit 1 was fitted only with sonic horns for catalyst cleaning. The anhydrous ammonia unloading and storage facility is more than a mile from the ammonia vaporizers that are located at grade adjacent to their respective SCR unit. The monthly ammonia consumption under full power conditions for Paradise Units 1 & 2 and 90% NOx reduction is 1,703.3 m3 (450,000 gallons) per month with the overfire air system in service. This paper addresses the issues and decisions related to integration of the SCR systems and the experiences of manufacturing and erecting each of the SCR units.

Abstract:
The National Ocean Service (NOS) of NOAA maintains and operates a Physical Oceanography Real Time System (PORTS®) in the Nation’s major ports, harbors and bays. The traditional way to obtain real-time data from bottom mounted instruments is via underwater cable link. However, it is vulnerable to damages and costly to install and maintain. This paper describes a new approach utilizing wireless data telemetry. The system consists of an ocean bottom instrumentation platform and a data relay surface buoy. The bottom platform contains a RD Instruments (RDI) 1200 KHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP), a LinkQuest UWM1000 underwater acoustic transmitting modem, and acoustic recovery devices. The surface buoy supports a UWM1000 receiving modem and a Freewave 900MHz spread spectrum line-of-sight radio modem with antenna. The ADCP provides measurements of vertical current profiles at 6-minute interval and surface waves at hourly interval. The underwater acoustic modem transmits at 9.6 K baud rate the current data at the end of each 6-minute sampling, and wave data at the end of each 20-minute sampling. These data are relayed via radio at 48.5 K baud rate to a shore base station located at the University of Maryland’s Horn Point Laboratory about 16 miles away. There the data are then transferred in near-real-time via internet to NOS office in Silver Spring. Data are monitored and archived at both sites. The system was deployed off Taylors Island in the Chesapeake Bay in late July 2003 and was operated reliably through a 8-month period. It demonstrated successfully its measurement concept and capability for real-time monitoring of both currents and waves from a single ADCP instrument. This paper describes the overall system, component testings and field experiences, and presents some sample results.
