Farquhar-Smith, Paul. A seminal paper on the epidemiology of cancer pain. Edited by Paul Farquhar-Smith, Pierre Beaulieu, and Sian Jagger. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780198834359.003.0063.
Full textAbstract:
The landmark paper discussed in this chapter is ‘Prevalence of pain in patients with cancer: A systematic review of the past 40 years’, published by van den Beuken et al. in 2007. It is not surprising that this definitive study on cancer pain prevalence is one of the most cited papers in cancer pain. Despite the extent of cancer pain literature, this paper’s 2007 publication is surprisingly recent for the first methodologically sound and major study of cancer pain prevalence. Many previous estimates lacked accuracy, and were prone to bias. What was known was that, despite apparent increasing interest in, research in, and recognition of pain in cancer patients, the prevalence of such pain was still high, even after treatment. This paper attempted to accurately quantify just how high by statistically pooling available high-quality data while avoiding the pitfalls of combining heterogeneous studies, as had plagued previous reports.

Of all the seminal papers on pain, the one described in this chapter must be one of the most influential. It has been cited over 11,000 times. This paper proposed the theory that the transmission of pain from peripheral fibres through the spinal cord to the brain was not a passive fixed process but was subject to modulation and alteration. It also suggested that there was interplay between different afferent fibres, spinal excitatory neurons, and inhibitory spinal neuron and that the brain could exert influence on the spinal cord. Most of modern pain science and clinical management is based on this theory, which is now clearly backed up by facts.

Gutzeit, Joerg. Crude Unit Corrosion Guide. 3rd ed. NACE International, The Worldwide Corrosion Authority15835 Park Ten Place Houston, TX 77084, 2016. https://doi.org/10.5006/37612.
Full textAbstract:
This Guide was written for Plant Operators, Process Engineers, Metallurgists, Maintenance Engineers, Inspectors, and all others who deal with crude unit corrosion and fouling issues on a daily basis. The book is based on the author’s experience dealing with many crude units and also reflects the industry’s consensus experiences reported at past meetings of the former NACE STG34 Committee on Petroleum Refining and Gas Processing and the API Subcommittee on Corrosion and Materials. Diluent recovery units (DRUs) and vacuum distillation units (VDUs) of bitumen upgraders are now included in the discussions where appropriate. While process simulation and RBIM software has been very helpful for ranking critical components for future inspection and maintenance efforts, expertise is still required to facilitate reliable data input and assessment. This book presents the most important aspects of corrosion and fouling control in the atmospheric and vacuum sections of crude units and the corresponding sections in bitumen upgraders. Various chapters deal with metallurgy and corrosion monitoring, crude tank settling and desalting, caustic injection, preheat exchanger fouling, sulfidic and naphthenic acid corrosion in fired heaters, transfer lines, and distillation columns. Other chapters cover corrosion and fouling by inorganic and organic chlorides in the top of columns and in overhead systems and various issues with neutralizer, corrosion inhibitor, and water injection systems. Important reports, research papers, and monographs published during the past 60 years or so are cited in the text.

Singh, Renu, and Protap Mukherjee. Push Out, Pull Out, or Opting Out? Reasons Cited by Adolescents for Discontinuing Education in Four Low- and Middle-Income Countries. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190847128.003.0012.
Full textAbstract:
By drawing on Bronfenbrenner’s (1999) ecological framework, this mixed-method paper recognizes school discontinuation not as an event but as a culmination of an interplay of various factors over time. Adopting a life course perspective and analyzing reasons given by adolescents for “not being in school” across the four middle- and low-income Young Lives study countries, three broad categories of reasons for early school leaving emerge. These are push factors, pull factors, and opted-out factors. Findings revealed that pull factors emerge as the greatest contributor toward children discontinuing education as they enter middle and late adolescence. Besides household dynamics and shocks, boys in particular discontinue schooling due to paid work, while girls spend long hours in domestic chores at the cost of attending school. While in-school factors, particularly quality, cannot be ignored, it is important to provide social protection nets to the poorest families in order to achieve Sustainable Development Goal Goal 4.

Alonso, Facundo M. Intending, Settling, and Relying. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198805601.003.0004.
Full textAbstract:
It is suggested that one may only intend what one takes one’s so intending as settling. This condition has traditionally been understood as a doxastic constraint on intention: what one takes one’s intention as settling is what one believes one’s so intending as settling. This paper proposes an alternative conception of such a constraint. The idea is to conceive of it in terms of the attitude of reliance, rather than of belief. The aim of the paper is three-fold: to clarify the connection between intending to act and the phenomena of being settled on and of settling a course of action, to provide support for the reliance conception of the cited constraint, and to show that this conception drives a wedge in the familiar dispute, between doxastic and conative accounts of intention, as to whether intending to act necessarily involves the belief that one will so act.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the landmark paper ‘Neuronal plasticity: increasing the gain in pain’, published by Woolf and Salter in 2000. Excellent review articles not only give a concise overview of a topic but also provide a framework for future research. In 2000, Clifford Woolf and Michael Salter joined forces to write one of the most highly cited review articles in the field of pain research and thus provided a conceptual framework for the plastic changes that occur in nociceptive neurons in response to chronic pain. With over 2,700 citations, this review is one of those rare articles that is still appreciated by pain researchers across domains.

Full textAbstract:
Awards may honour and induce performance. There are many different academic awards, ranging from the Nobel Prizes to best paper awards, and to awards for young scholars and rising stars. The Synthetic Control Method allows us to show empirically that the performance of recipients of the well-known John Bates Clark Medal (given by the American Economic Association to a scholar under the age of 40 ‘who is judged to have made the most significant contribution to economic thought and knowledge’) subsequently increases. Clark Medallists raise their publication activity and the work they had previously published is cited considerably more often (in line with a status effect). The same effects can be observed when researchers are elected as Fellows of the Econometric Society, also a prestigious honour.

Poore, Gary CB. Marine Decapod Crustacea of Southern Australia. CSIRO Publishing, 2004. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/9780643092129.
Full textAbstract:
This book is a comprehensive guide to the identification of 800 species of decapod and stomatopod crustaceans from southern Australian marine waters. It is liberally illustrated with more than 1000 line drawings giving good views of many species as well as diagnostic illustrations. Details for each species include the authority, year of description, sometimes a common name, diagnosis, size, geographical distribution, and ecological and depth distribution. The chapter on the Stomatopoda is by Shane Ahyong.
 Sections within each chapter are hierarchical, species within genera, within families (often with subfamilies as well). Identification is achieved through the use of dichotomous keys adapted from many originally published in the primary literature, or developed from scratch. Some keys are to all Australian taxa but most are to southern Australian taxa only.
 The information in this book derives from over 200 years of collecting in southern Australian environments, from the intertidal to the deep sea, and publications in numerous journals in several languages. More than 800 of these papers and books are cited.

Full textAbstract:
Philippine-type languages are often cited as exemplifying a cross-linguistically unique voice system, in which verb morphology can select not only an agent or patient, but also locative, instrumental and other adjunct type relations as the nominative argument. In this paper, we examine three approaches to this typologically remarkable system: the ergative analysis, the case agreement analysis and the nominalization analysis, arguing for the latter based on strong parallels between verbal and nominal predication from the root level to the clause level. The morphologically symmetric nature of Philippine-type languages is argued to stem from their nominal roots. The historical development of verbal roots leads to a more fixed argument structure in which canonical ergative languages develop. Mamuju, an Austronesian language of West Sulawesi, Indonesia, is offered as an example of a classically ergative language, in contrast to Philippine-type systems.

Haq, Khadija, ed. Development, Employment, and Income Distribution. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199474684.003.0009.
Full textAbstract:
In the chapter, Haq raises questions about the spurious relationship between GNP growth, employment and income distribution. Two decades of development experience of many developing countries suggested that high GNP growth did not guarantee elimination of unemployment or poverty reduction. He cites examples of development policies of India, Pakistan and Brazil to illustrate their preoccupation with GNP growth and their assumption that income distribution policies could be divorced from growth policies and could be added later to the equation. In this paper, Haq redefines the problem of development from GNP growth to a ‘selective attack on the worst form of poverty’. He also stresses on the need to treating employment as the primary objective of planning and using development and income redistribution policies in tandem, rather than thinking about redistribution after growth has materialized.

Ellison, Aaron, and Lubomír Adamec, eds. Carnivorous Plants. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198779841.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Carnivorous plants have fascinated botanists, evolutionary biologists, ecologists, physiologists, developmental biologists, anatomists, horticulturalists, and the general public for centuries. Charles Darwin was the first scientist to demonstrate experimentally that some plants could actually attract, kill, digest, and absorb nutrients from insect prey; his book Insectivorous Plants (1875) remains a widely cited classic. Subsequent monographs by Lloyd (1942) and Juniper et al. (1989) summarized and synthesized available scientific data on these remarkable plants. Scientific investigations and understanding of carnivorous plants has evolved and changed dramatically in the nearly 30 years since Juniper et al’s Carnivorous Plants was published, and thousands of scientific papers on carnivorous plants have appeared in the academic literature. In putting together this fourth major work on the biology of carnivorous plants, Ellison and Adamec have assembled the world’s leading experts to provide a truly modern synthesis. The contributing authors examine every aspect of systematics, physiology, biochemistry, genomics, ecology, and evolution of what Darwin called ‘the most wonderful plants in the world,’ and describe the serious threats they now face from over-collection, poaching, habitat loss, and climatic change, which directly threaten their habitats and continued persistence in them. This accessible text is suitable for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers in plant biology, ecology, and evolutionary biology. It will also be of relevance and use to horticulturalists and carnivorous plant enthusiasts.

Full textAbstract:
In his Second Inaugural Address, Abraham Lincoln said both North and South “read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other.” Lincoln quoted several biblical texts in this address—which, according to Frederick Douglass, “sounded more like a sermon than a state paper.” The Bible, as Lincoln’s famous speech illustrated, saturated the Civil War. This book offers the most thorough analysis yet of how Americans enlisted scripture to fight the Civil War. As this insightful narrative reveals, no book was more important to the Civil War than the Bible. From Massachusetts to Mississippi and beyond, the Bible was the nation’s most read and most respected book. It brought to mind sacred history and sacrifice. It presented a drama of salvation and damnation, of providence and judgment. It was also a book of war. Americans cited the Bible in addressing many wartime issues, including slavery, secession, patriotism, federal versus state authority, white supremacy, and violence. In scripture, both Union and Confederate soldiers found inspiration for dying and killing like never before in the nation’s history. With approximately 750,000 fatalities, the Civil War was the deadliest of the nation’s wars. Americans fought the Civil War with Bibles in hand, with both sides calling the war just and sacred. This is a book about how Americans enlisted the Bible in the nation’s most bloody, and arguably most biblically saturated war.

Jackson, Lucy C. M. M. The Chorus of Drama in the Fourth Century BCE. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198844532.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The Chorus of Drama in the Fourth Century BCE seeks to upend conventional thinking about the development of drama from the fifth to the fourth centuries. Set in the context of a theatre industry extending far beyond the confines of the City Dionysia and the city of Athens, the identity of choral performers and the significance of their contribution to the shape and meaning of drama in the later Classical period (c.400–323) as a whole is an intriguing and under-explored area of enquiry. Drawing together the fourth-century historical, material, dramatic, literary, and philosophical sources that attest to the activity and quality of dramatic choruses, the book provides a new way of talking and thinking about the choruses of drama after the deaths of Euripides and Sophocles. Having considered the positive evidence for dramatic choral activity, the book provides a radical rethinking of two oft-cited yet ill-understood phenomena that have traditionally supported the idea that the chorus of drama ‘declined’ in the fourth century: the inscription of χοροῦ μέλος in papyri and manuscripts in place of fully written-out choral odes, and Aristotle’s invocation of embolima (Poetics 1456a25–32). The book goes on to explore how influential fourth-century authors such as Plato, Demosthenes, and Xenophon, as well as artistic representations of choruses on fourth-century monuments, have had an important role in shaping later scholars’ understanding of the dramatic chorus throughout the Classical period. The book’s conclusions, too, have implications for the broader story we wish to tell about Attic drama, and its most enigmatic and fundamental element, the chorus.
