Hogg, Andrew Charles. "Puroindolines their control over wheat grain hardness and influence on milling and bread baking traits /". Thesis, Montana State University, 2004. http://etd.lib.montana.edu/etd/2004/hogg/HoggA04.pdf.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Wheat grain is sold based upon several physiochemical characteristics, one of the most important being grain texture. Grain texture in wheat directly affects many end use qualities such as milling yield, break flour yield, and starch damage. The Hardness (Ha) locus located on the short arm of chromosome 5D is known to control grain hardness in wheat. This locus contains the puroindoline a (pina) and puroindoline b (pinb) genes. All wheats to date that have mutations in pina or pinb are hard textured, while wheats possessing both the 'soft type' pina-D1a and pinb-D1a sequences are soft. Furthermore, it has been shown that complementation of the pinb-D1b mutation in hard spring wheat can restore a soft phenotype. Here, the first objective was to identify and characterize the effect the puroindolines have on grain texture independently and together. The second objective was to determine which milling bread baking characteristics are affected by the seed specific over-expression of puroindolines. To accomplish both of these objectives a hard red spring wheat, possessing the pinb-D1b mutation, was transformed with 'soft type' pina and pinb, creating transgenic isolines that have added pina, pinb, or pina and pinb. Northern blot analysis of developing control and transgenic lines indicated that grain hardness differences were correlated with the timing of the expression of the native and transgenically added puroindolines. The addition of PINA decreased grain hardness less than the reduction seen with added PINB. Friabilin abundance was correlated with the presence of both 'soft type' PINA and PINB and did not correlate well with total puroindoline abundance. Selected T3 lines were grown in a field trial with two replications under dry and irrigated field conditions. Harvested grain was then milled and baked. Lines transformed with the puroindolines exhibited decreased total flour yields and increased break flour yields, yielding flour with lower protein and ash content. Decreases in loaf volume, mixograph absorption, and crumb grain scores were also observed in transgenic lines. These results demonstrate that the puroindolines can be used to profoundly influence grain hardness and a variety of milling and bread baking traits in wheat.

This thesis investigates in which ways Samuel R. Delany’s novel Hogg challenge the discourse of normality as stipulated, supported and maintained by the capitalist Oedipal repression of desire. Drawing from Deleuze and Guattari’s theory of the Anti-Oedipus, this thesis explores how Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of desire as a free and productive force can be seen as a disruptive element in a society that relies on repression of the subject for its stability. Furthermore, this thesis explores how the novel questions the understanding of civilisation being dependent on the individual’s submission to the Oedipus triangulation and in extension the Oedipal capitalist separation between the public and the private sphere. Ultimately, the main argument claims that Oedipal repression of desire only allows desire to invest in a restricted number of representations, making other identities than the heteronormative suspicious or invisible. Hogg depicts a society where capitalism commodifies everything, and need the Oedipal subject to ensure its stability. The characters in the novel that do not subject themselves to the capitalist discourse escape the subjection to the Oedipal triangulation, and are thus free to invest their desire in any way they choose, primarily in non-heterosexual and salirophiliac activities. These characters can be seen as schizoid subjects that are constantly threatening to expose the fragility of the social structure by embodying a contrast to the hegemonic discourse and therefore constantly question its authority as main creator of reason and reality.

A self-educated shepherd, Scottish writer James Hogg (1770-1835) spoke from a position outside the dominant discourse, depicting issues of his age related to gender, class, and ethnicity by giving voice to people from the margins and, thus (either consciously or unconsciously), revealing gender politics and Britain's imperial aims. Hogg’s contemporary critics received his work rather negatively, viewing his subjects such as prostitution, out-of-wedlock-pregnancy, infanticide, and the violence of war as violating the principles of literary politeness. Hogg’s obstinacy in addressing these issues, however, supports the thesis that his aim was far more significant than challenging the expectations of his contemporary readers. This project shows that pragmatics can be applied productively to literature because its eclecticism offers the possibility of developing a detailed discussion about three aspects of literary communication—the author, the reader and the text—without prioritising any of them. Literature is an instance of language in use (the field of pragmatics) where an author creates the texts and a reader recreates the author’s message through the text. Analysis of Hogg’s flouting of Grice’s maxims for communication strategies and of his defying the principles of politeness enables a theoretically supported discussion about Hogg’s possible intentions, as well as about how his intentions were perceived by the literary establishment of his time; while both relevance theory and Bakhtin’s socio-linguistics enriched by a historically contextualised politeness shed new light on the negative reception of Hogg’s texts.

Bold, Valentina. "'Nature's making' : James Hogg and the autodidactic tradition in Scottish poetry". Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1997. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2759/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis explores the autodidactic tradition in Scottish poetry during the nineteenth century. From the late eighteenth century onwards self-taught Scottish poets offered a vigorous alternative to the literary mainstream. Autodidacts explored both oral and literary styles and genres, utilising a wide frame of reference to express their unique experiences and ideas. Diversity of poetic voice characterises autodidactic poets, including Robert Burns, Janet Little, Allan Cunningham, Alexander Anderson and James Young Geddes. However, Scottish autodidacts shared poetic concerns and techniques, and were highly influenced by their compeers. It is suggested that James Hogg, 'the Ettrick Shepherd' is the central and most significant figure in forming a Scottish autodidactic identity. There are three major sections to the thesis. Part One looks at the origins of the 'peasant poet' image in the national context, exploring prototypes such as Ramsay's The Gentle Shepherd (1725), Macpherson's Ossian and Burns as 'Heaven-taught ploughman'. The middle section concentrates on Hogg, illustrating the precise ways in which he explored and, at times, resented his peasant poet typecasting. Works considered include Scottish Pastorals (1801), The Mountain Bard (1807 and 1821), The Queen's Wake (1813), The Poetic Mirror (1816), The Royal Jubilee (1822), Queen Hynde (1825), Pilgrims of the Sun (1815 and 1822) and A Queer Book (1832). Part Three discusses Scottish autodidacticism as it developed after Hogg, discerning subgroups within the peasant poet category.

Shepherd, Deirdre Ann Mary. "Walter Scott, James Hogg and uncanny testimony : questions of evidence and authority". Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/5495.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis investigates the representation of the supernatural in the literature of Walter Scott and James Hogg. In comparing both authors it takes advantage of two recent scholarly editions: the Stirling/South Carolina edition of Hogg and the Edinburgh Edition of the Waverley Novels. I trace the development of Scott’s persistent interest in various categories of the supernatural: the uncanny; witchcraft; second sight; and astrology. His literary career began in 1796 with translations of German Romantic poetry. These were followed by publication of his collection of ballads and folklore, known as the Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border, 1802-3, and by the longer poems such as The Lay of the Last Minstrel, 1805. Subsequently, Scott’s investigation of the supernatural would continue within a number of key novels and his shorter fiction. The Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft, addressed to J. G. Lockhart, Esq., 1830, was one of his final attempts to establish how far the evidence of a credible witness might supply ineluctable testimony in accounts of the supernatural. Scott’s legal training, and antiquarian skills, lent particular authority into his investigations of the possibilities of the existence, or otherwise, of the supernatural. By way of contrast, James Hogg’s lack of formal education, and scanty knowledge of the progressive advances of the Scottish Enlightenment, was associated with a ready credulity in matters of the supernatural. His literary work, such as The Mountain Bard, 1807, or his later collection of Winter Evening Tales, 1820, demonstrated a familiarity with ballads, and an unlettered folklore tradition, that appeared to confirm his position as a believer in superstitious and irrational practices. However, this thesis will argue that Hogg actually possesses a shrewd and sophisticated understanding of the authority of the supernatural. This is manifest in his literary efforts to record and investigate various types of uncanny testimony, when compared with those of Scott. Hogg’s view of the supernatural is complex and essentially subversive. His final novel, The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, 1824, and his later contributions to the fashionable annuals and giftbooks published between 1826 and 1834, reveal an author deeply engaged with demonstrating the unique role of the supernatural within Scottish society, particularly as a channel of dissent and discord. The Ettrick Shepherd and the Author of Waverley founded their literary relationship upon a shared enthusiasm for the supernatural tales and traditions of the Scottish Borders. Their friendship was both competitive and complementary. Critics have generally tended to assume that Scott, rather than Hogg, was the sceptical party where belief in the existence of the supernatural is concerned. However, closer examination of their work reveals that such assumptions do not necessarily stand up. Ultimately, Hogg emerges as the author with greater resistance to an irrational belief in the supernatural. His position as an observer, and critic, of the antiquarian and enlightened literary establishment, with its dependence on the authority of printed texts, is developed through his literary investigation of the supernatural. My choice of works to consider has been necessarily limited by questions of space. Where possible, I have selected those texts that seem to me to offer ready comparison between the two authors. Some novels such as Scott’s The Antiquary, 1816, or The Pirate, 1822, might be regarded as worthy of inclusion in this study of the supernatural. However, there are no real equivalents of these in Hogg’s work.

Angeletti, Gioia. "Scottish eccentrics : the tradition of otherness in Scottish poetry from Hogg to MacDiarmid". Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1997. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2552/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This study attempts to modify the received opinion that Scottish poetry of the nineteenth-century failed to build on the achievements of the century (and centuries) before. Rather it suggests that a number of significant poets emerged in the period who represent an ongoing clearly Scottish tradition, characterised by protean identities and eccentricity, which leads on to MacDiarmid and the 'Scottish Renaissance' of the twentieth century. The work of the poets in question is thus seen as marked by recurring linguistic, stylistic and thematic eccentricities which are often radical and subversive. The poets themselves, it is suggested, share a condition of estrangement from the official culture of their time either within Scotland (Hogg, Geddes, MacDiarmid) or in their English exile (Smith, Davidson and Thomson). They can be hardly associated with established tradition, but rather they belong to what I define as tradition of 'otherness' - other from mainstream literary and cultural society, and characterised by eccentric forms and themes. The Introduction examines the notions of 'eccentricity' and 'otherness' in relation to the selected poets. Chapter 1, after outlining existing critical theories on nineteenth-century Scottish literature, reinforces the thesis that the dominant voices in Scottish poetry are radical and eccentric by looking retrospectively at some of the eighteenth-century 'eccentrics'. Chapter 2 focuses on the work of Hogg and Byron, the former as the original nineteenth-century eccentric, evincing strong links with later poets, and the latter because of the striking affinities between his work and personality and those of contemporary and later Scottish poets. Chapter 3 focuses on Alexander Smith and attempts to rescue his most interesting poetry from the simplistic categorising of his work as 'Spasmodic'. Chapter 4 on James Thomson ('B.V.') explores the innovative and pre-modernist aura of his opera omnia. Chapter 5 concentrates on John Davidson, particularly on his diverse styles and unorthodox ideas, which also look forward to MacDiarmid.

The Author and the Shepherd: The Paratextual Self-Representations of James Hogg (1807-1835) This project establishes a literary-cultural trajectory in the career of Scottish poet and author James Hogg (1770-1835) through the close reading of his self-representational paratextual material. It argues that these paratexts played an integral part in Hogg’s writing career and, as such, should be considered among his most important works. Previous critics have drawn attention to Hogg’s paratextual self-representations; this project, however, singles them out for comprehensive analysis as literary texts in their own right, comparing and contrasting how Hogg’s use of such material differed from other writers of his period, as well as how his use of it changed and developed as his career progressed. Their wider cultural significance is also considered. Hogg not only used paratextual material to position himself strategically in his literary world but also to question, challenge and undermine some of the dominant socio-cultural paradigms and hierarchies of the early-nineteenth century, not least the role and position of ‘peasant poets’ (such as himself) in society. Hogg utilised self-representational paratextual material throughout his literary career. Unlike other major writers of the period Hogg, a self-taught shepherd, had to justify and explain his position in society as ‘an author’ through these pseudo-autobiographical paratexts, which he attached to most of his works (in such forms as memoirs, introductions, dedications, notes and footnotes, and introductory paragraphs to stories). Via these liminal devices he created and propagated his authorial persona of ‘The Ettrick Shepherd’, whose main function was to draw attention to Hogg’s preeminent place in the traditional world, and to his status as a ‘peasant poet’. It was on the basis of this position that he argued for his place in the Scottish literary world of the early-nineteenth century and, ultimately, in literary history. His paratextual self-representations are thus a crucial element in his literary career. Drawing on Gerard Genette’s description of ‘the paratext’, the authorial theories of Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault (along with more recent authorial criticism), as well as autobiographical theory, this project traces Hogg’s changing use of self-representational paratexts throughout his career, from his first major work The Mountain Bard (1807) to his final book of stories Tales of the Wars of Montrose (1835). By reading Hogg’s paratexts closely, this project presents a unique view – from the inside out – of the specific literary world into which Hogg attempted to position himself as an author.

The Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is a hereditary human cancer syndrome that predisposes affected individuals to develop skin hamartomas, lung cysts and pneumothorax as well as renal carcinoma. BHD is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the folliculin (FLCN) gene. The molecular function of the FLCN gene product is still largely unknown; opposite and conflicting evidence of mTOR signaling activity has been reported. To further study the development of BHD malignancies, a novel conditional Pax8Cre FLCN floxed mouse model was generated. Pathological analysis revealed that the mice developed a unique and relevant phenotype of renal tubule hyperplasia, multifocal renal cysts, adenomas as well as histiocytic sarcoma. From this model, FLCN-null MEFs were generated to further investigate the molecular pathways by which FLCN suppresses tumorigenesis. Preliminary data showing lengthened survival of FLCN-null MEFs under metabolic stress supports a role for FLCN in nutrient sensing. Upon further investigation, FLCN-null MEFs show an increase in mitochondrial biogenesis as denoted by an increase in AMP:ATP ratio, respiration rates, lactate levels, mitochondrial numbers and PGC1-alpha/beta transcripts. We hypothesize that the previously shown indirect physical interaction between AMPK and FLCN could provide a rationale for the striking metabolic phenotype. To this end, FLCN-null MEFs with stably knocked down levels of AMPKalpha1/2 isoforms were generated in an attempt to rescue the novel metabolic phenotype. Altogether, these studies are aimed to further elucidate the metabolic function of FLCN in order to better understand its role as a tumor suppressor.Le syndrome de Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) prédispose les personnes atteintes à développer des hamartomes de la peau, des kystes pulmonaires et un carcinome du rein. Le syndrome de BHD est causé par des mutations causant la perte de fonction d'un gène encodant la folliculine (FLCN). Les fonctions moléculaires de la FLCN sont encore peu connues. Ici, nous étudions la progression de néoplasmes du syndrome de BHD, tel que de l'hyperplasie kystique et des adénomes rénaux, en utilisant un nouveau modèle de souris transgénique conditionnel Pax8 Cre FLCN. Créés de ce modèle, des fibroblastes embryonnaires de souris (FES) nuls pour l'expression de la FLCN présentent une survie prolongée face à restrictions nutritives de même qu'une augmentation de biogénèse mitochondriale tel que démontré par des taux élevés d'ARN messager de PGC1-alpha/beta, un haut ratio d'AMP:ATP et une augmentation de phosphorylation oxidative. Ensemble, ces données préliminaires et inédites supportent un rôle pour la FLCN dans la détection de nutriments. Nous émettons l'hypothèse que l'interaction précédemment publiée entre la kinase AMPK et le FLCN pourrait expliquer ce phénotype métabolique. Afin de vérifier cette hypothèse, les FES nuls pour la FLCN exprimant des shARN de la kinase AMPK alpha1/2 stable ont été générés. Ensemble, ces études novatrices ont comme but d'élucider les fonctions métaboliques de la FLCN afin de mieux co mprendre son mécanisme de suppression de tumeurs.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
By using the political career of the leading Conservative Douglas Hogg, 1st Viscount Hailsham, as a prism, this thesis explores important aspects of inter-war British politics. Considering that Hailsham held key posts during the 1920s and 1930s, his career has attracted less historical coverage than one would expect. By charting his important role in the policy-making process, this study sheds light upon the major challenges facing Conservative leaders and enhances our understanding of British politics during this turbulent period. Hailsham helped shape the moderate form of Conservatism that asserted itself at this time and became intimately involved in formulating Britain’s imperial, defence and foreign policies. Hailsham’s contribution to the Conservatives’ response to the rise of the Labour Party during Britain’s newfound age of mass democracy emphasises the intricacies of inter-war Conservatism. Notwithstanding the overwhelmingly working class electorate, the Conservatives were the dominant party at the polls and this study demonstrates that Hailsham played no small part in the Conservatives’ highly successful inter-war appeal. By the end of the 1920s, he had assumed such a prominent position that a number of high-ranking Tories regarded him as Stanley Baldwin’s likely successor. During the 1930s, Hailsham confirmed that he was a committed imperialist. He was amongst those who defined Britain’s policy as the Empire was transformed into the Commonwealth. He also made important contributions to the interplay between the National Government’s foreign and defence policies. He was one of only a handful of ministers whose continued presence allowed them to make interventions in Britain’s disarmament, rearmament and appeasement policies during the era of the European dictators and the rise of militaristic Japan. Hailsham’s contribution is even more significant because he has strong claims to being the first cabinet minister to express disquiet over the mounting German menace.

This thesis examines the nature of identity and the problems implicit in attempts to affirm it within the context of nineteenth century modernity. By exploring a number of texts from Romanticism to the fin de siecle, it can be. seen that autonomous and coherent identity is not a stable entity. Drawing upon Rene Descartes'work on constructions of selfhood as a starting point, these ideas can be detected in an assessment of identity's alter ego - the disidentical self which is characterised by masks, disguises, madness, pathological behaviour, criminality and addiction. Examples of such paradigms for disidentity can be found in a variety of cultural texts and genres throughout the century, from the self-consciously 'high' poetry of Matthew Arnold, Alfred Tennyson and Gerard Manley Hopkins to the popular Gothic novels of Robert Louis Stevenson, Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker. These metaphorisations of a crisis for identity in the nineteenth century are reflected in the analyses of insanity by physicians such as W.A.F. Browne and Henry Maudsley, prominent cultural critics such as Arthur Hallam and Amold, and the degeneration theorists of the late nineteenth century. Much of the project is shaped by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels' assessment of modernity found in The Communist Manifesto, in particular their descriptions of nineteenth century socio-cultural topographies as fluid and vaporous. Stable identity is effectively threatened from a plethora of directions, including the Orient, criminality, sexual deviancy, scientific discovery and accelerated social change. Taking into consideration the many different ways in which identity can be problematised in the nineteenth century, three important sites of disidentification have been chosen for the purposes of this argument. Chapter one examines the split-personality, chapter two religious madness, and chapter three addiction. Each chapter demonstrates that within the conditions of nineteenth century modernity, the fragility and consequent fragmentation of individual identity is evoked in many different manifestations.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
L'œuvre de Walter Scott (1771-1832), James Hogg (1770-1835) et Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) est traversée par une tension qui dénaturalise l'Écosse historique et politique pour la recréer en fiction, posant la scotticité comme une construction problématique qui appelle sans cesse de nouvelles définitions, afin d'en retrouver le sens ou d'en faire son domaine à soi. La figuration des enjeux nationaux se fait à travers le thème des diverses rébellions jacobites au cours du XVIIIème siècle, mais l'Histoire est subordonnée aux enjeux littéraires et politiques du présent des auteurs. Walter Scott pose en littérature les bases d'une conciliation viable de "l'être" écossais avec la domination du pouvoir britannique, là où Hogg réagit en cherchant dans un passé plus lointain la source inépuisable (et au premier chef, fictionnelle) d'une Écosse mythique insaisissable. Stevenson, quant à lui, hérite de ce dilemme et choisit, en fiction comme dans la réalité, la fuite et l'exil pour pouvoir exister librement dans un monde dégagé du poids d'un passé par trop lourd à porter.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis discusses different narrative forms of cultural memory in the historical fiction of James Hogg and Walter Scott. The introduction explains the variety of post-Enlightenment discourse on ‘history’: certain works of popular history were subject to new appreciation while canonical histories from the eighteenth century were now criticised in periodical reviews, the leading cultural arbiters of the day. Chapter 1 focuses on the ‘ballad collection’ as a literary genre within an antiquarian matrix. The chapter considers Scott and Hogg’s differing approaches to the textual protocols of antiquarianism when writing on ‘legendary’ history. Chapter 2 surveys the persistence of a providentialist historiography with regard to the ‘anecdote’, particularly as this narrative sub-genre featured extensively in compendia of popular history. Chapter 3 compares the ‘epic’ discourse of The Tale of Old Mortality with the ‘lowlier’ narrative forms canvassed in The Heart of Mid-Lothian, the chronicle and the family saga. Chapter 4 reads Scott and Hogg’s late works on Highland history in relation to the ‘national tale’ genre. These works do not belong properly to either ‘folk’ or ‘novel’ discourse and they formulate most clearly an anti-progressivist notion of history. The Conclusion considers how the practice of ‘reviving’ history is determined in large part by the narrative forms and conventions in which history is written, with the additional consideration that for Scott and Hogg an aesthetic of multiformity arises from the fact that they are often writing the spoken. Rather than ‘explain’ the past both authors use narrative structure to destabilise accepted versions of the past and keep in play the kinds of stories ‘histories’ often forgets.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The postmodern context is one in which certain of the boundaries of the Scottish novel may be reassessed. Focusing upon reflexivity in language and the philosophical implications of it, postmodernism opens up a space wherein the 'grand narrative' of English criticism and the totalising aesthetics it has valorised may be deconstructed. In doing so, it provides an environment in which the literary products of marginalised cultures may be positively re-examined. Likewise, post-structuralism provides a vocabulary in which the characteristic features of those marginalised literatures - the radical and subversive strategies which have shaped their challenge to 'essence', 'presence', and so the 'centre' - may be redefined. This thesis offers a reading of selected nineteenth Scottish fictions in such a postmodern context. Looking at the work of Walter Scott, James Hogg and Robert Louis Stevenson, it explores how far their work may benefit from such a reading. Examining their own exploration of the boundaries of fixed ontological positions, it notes how the inadequacy of these systems effects both their thematic concerns and their fictional strategies. In Walter Scott's work, such exploration is found in his search for a model of Scottish identity, and a contingent deconstruction of fixed oppositional codes by which to describe it. In Hogg's fiction it results in a challenge to rigid epistemic systems and an exploration of the dangers and inadequacies of such totalising polarities. For Stevenson, it is embraced in a philosophy of 'travelling hopefully' and a literature - both fictional and critical - which attempts to find a path within this more multiplistic vision. For all three writers it results in fictional practices and strategies which subvert narrative totality and seek to create a more complex and indeterminate discourse. Writing from the self deconstructing ground of Scottish experience, Scott, Hogg and Stevenson launch a challenge to all manifestations of 'grand narrative', deconstructing their boundaries. As a result, the postmodern context is one particularly sympathetic to their formal and structural radicalism.

Para esto se procesó información obtenida de ensayos no destructivos con la viga Benkelman de doble brazo y relación de 2:1 que permitió medir deformaciones elásticas sobre la base estabilizada al aplicar una carga estándar de manera fácil, práctica y económica. Con las deflexiones medidas en campo y su posterior análisis de resultados trabajados con el Modelo de Hogg se determinaron las deformaciones teóricas del suelo y el modulo elástico tanto para la subrasante y base estabilizada.
Obteniendo los módulos elásticos de la subrasante y con ello el CBR en cada punto ensayado, con esto se pudo determinar qué sectores necesitan mantenimiento y que otros necesitan mejoramiento de subrasante, además se calculó la diferencia de costo entre realizar una base estabilizada con cloruro de magnesio y otra simplemente afirmada, resultando más barato la primera opción en un período de diez años.
Finalmente, se calculó los módulos elásticos de la base estabilizada en ambas fajas y se determinó gráficamente su dispersión concluyendo lo importante que es el proceso constructivo en este tipo de pavimentos.

This dissertation examines the use of images of graveyards and death in the writings of the ‘Blackwood’s group’, a coterie of authors and poets who published their writing either within the influential Tory periodical Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine or with the publisher William Blackwood and Sons in the early decades of the nineteenth century. I argue that Blackwoodian texts like Lights and Shadows of Scottish Life (1822) by John Wilson imagined the rural Scottish graveyard as a repository for the traditional values and social structures which appeared to be under threat in the rapidly modernising British nation. In these texts the kirkyard functions as a key symbolic space, creating an imagined national ‘home’ for British readers in the idealised Scottish village graveyard. This nostalgic pastoral image of the eternal kirkyard is however in opposition to Blackwood’s Magazine’s reputation for violent, urbane wit and sensational gothic stories. The Noctes Ambrosianae and Tales of Terror articulate a modern, masculine and elite image of the magazine which seem at odds with the domestic, pastoral Scottishness offered in the ‘Scotch novels’ and regional tales. William Blackwood’s publishing house and magazine are at once synonymous with two apparently opposing world views and target readerships, and this tension is most strongly articulated in the tidy Scots graves and unburied corpses of the magazine’s fiction. I examine works published by John Wilson, J.G. Lockhart, James Hogg, D.M. Moir, Henry Thomson, Robert McNish, John Galt, Samuel Warren, James Montgomery and Thomas de Quincey, between the magazine’s foundation in 1817 and the increasing defection of these original Blackwoodians to other periodicals and the retirement of the Noctes Ambrosianae series in the late 1830s. I identify a series of conventions associated with an idealised Blackwoodian rural death before examining the ways in which tales where the conventions of this 'good death' and burial are disrupted by crime, bodysnatching, epidemic disease and suicide challenge or reinforce the world view the rural texts articulated. Chapter one focuses on eighteenth-century ideas about death and sociability. Looking at a group of texts which span from Robert Blair’s The Grave (1746) to Edmund Burke’s revolutionary period writings of the 1790s, it traces what Ester Schor has termed a ‘transition from the “natural” sympathies of the Enlightenment to the “political” sympathies of a revolutionary age’ (75). I argue that in particular Edmund Burke’s creation of a conservative image of nation based on tradition and ancestry acted as a foundation for the type of politicised engagement with the dead which characterised the work of the Blackwood’s group. Chapter two builds upon recent identifications of a Blackwoodian regional tale tradition by highlighting the crucial role of death and the kirkyard in this provincial fiction. Placing John Wilson’s highly popular story series Lights and Shadows of Scottish Life in relation to contemporary debates about Evangelical religion, readership and nation, reveals a series of ideas and conventions which can be identified in other rural writing by John Galt, J.G. Lockhart and James Hogg. Having established an image of what a ‘good death’ might look like and stand for within the Blackwoodian imagination, I turn my attention to deaths which do not follow these conventions. Chapter three explores Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine’s well-documented fascination with spectacular violence in three of the magazine’s signature Tales of Terror and Thomas De Quincey’s ‘On Murder’ essays (1827, 1839). Chapter four looks at three stories from the magazine which feature bodysnatching, focusing on the role which doctors and provincial communities play within these texts. Chapter five compares responses to the 1832 cholera epidemic by James Montgomery and James Hogg. Finally, Chapter six argues for a reading of James Hogg’s Confessions of a Justified Sinner (1824) which foregrounds the role of the suicide’s body within the narrative based on the representations of suicide in contemporary discussion and in Galt’s Annals of the Parish (1821).

The theory of stellar evolution and stellar structure relies on the observation of stars
in di erent phases of their evolutionary cycle. The relation between observations and
theory can be strengthened by obtaining observational data of a large sample of stars in a particular evolutionary phase. The search for Cephei stars, as conducted in this study,
can contribute to the sample of known Cephei stars, where these interesting stars are
massive non-supergiant early B-type stars, displaying pulsating behaviour which is not
well understood.
Stars tend to form in clusters where it can therefore be expected that young massive
stars can be found in open clusters. For this reason two young southern open clusters
were observed in order to search for B-type pulsating stars. The region of NGC 6204
and Hogg 22 was observed over a period of thirteen nights in Johnson B, V and I bands.
NGC 6204 is believed to be the oldest cluster of the two at a distance of 0.8 kpc while the
much younger Hogg 22 is more distant at 2.8 kpc. These two open clusters are located
6 arcminutes apart which made it possible to observe them simultaneously with a 12.8
12.8 arcminute eld of view. The observations were done with the newly installed 1600
telescope of the North-West University, South Africa.
In order to do a variability search, periodic stars need to be identi ed from the cluster
data, where a typical data set may contain thousands of scienti c images. In addition
to the main motivation for this study, a pipeline was created in order to automate the
photometry and data reduction processes. A Lomb-Scargle transform was applied to the
stellar light curves in order to identify periodic sources. 354 signi cantly periodic stars
were identi ed from the 3182 observed stars. Amongst them, two new possible Cephei
stars were found together with a possible slowly pulsating B star (SPB), and numerous
eclipsing binary systems.
By using photometry of this region obtained by Forbes & Short (1996), instrumental
magnitudes were transformed to a standard system in order to compare photometry
results. From the constructed colour magnitude diagram of the two clusters, it could be
seen that some stars, indicated by Forbes & Short (1996) to be cluster members, were
in fact eld stars belonging to neither cluster. The reduction and photometry pipeline was implemented successfully on the data set,
which also highlighted the importance of instrumentation and correct data analysis
procedures. Possible improvements were identi ed in order to overcome di culties experienced
during this study.Thesis (MSc (Space Physics))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013

The memoir as a specific and unique literary genre has only recently been broached for in-depth critical study, with two major, book-length examinations of the genre appearing in the past decade. While the genre has been around in various formats with various conventions for as long as humans have written, only the memoir boom of the late twentieth and early twenty-first-century called for a more sophisticated look at the genre. This thesis will use these recent observations on the memoir as a genre to shed new light on two classics of gothic literature: Charles Brockden Brown’s 1798 novel Wieland and its serialized prequel “Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist” and James Hogg’s 1824 novel The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis argues that ‘fairy writing’ in the nineteenth-century Scottish literature serves as a peculiar site which accommodates various, often ambiguous and subversive, responses to the processes of constructing new national identities occurring in, and outwith, post-union Scotland. It contends that a pathetic sense of loss, emptiness and absence, together with strong preoccupations with the land, and a desire to perpetuate the nation which has become state-less, commonly underpin the wide variety of fairy writings by Walter Scott, John Black, James Hogg and Andrew Lang. The disappearing fairies and elusive fairy queens who haunt subterranean realms, together with the immaterialised and etherealised homeland, are frequently depicted in the works of fairy writing explored in this study. While they metaphorise the loss of the state, the rightful monarch and the old national identity, they also serve to symbolically, and strategically, immortalise the Scottish nation through mythification and romanticisation within the subliminal textual layers of fairy writing. Choosing four authors in Scottish literature, this thesis explores the spectrum of the wide range of fairy writing created during the long nineteenth century, shedding new light on the contrast, as well as the echoes, between Romantic and Victorian writing. It specifically suggests that fairy narratives by Black and Hogg display ironic self-consciousness of those who were involved in the processes of cultural nation-building in the post-union Britain. This thesis also contends that Scottish fairy writing serves as a problematic site of experimentation where different genres, values and ideas clash and conflict, generating intensified tension, and rarely bringing negotiation without haunting aftertaste. It is contended that genre-mixing is a common methodological feature employed by the four authors, and moreover, that the act of genre-mixing itself is metaphorical of the creation of new and hybrid national identity, which also foregrounds its artificiality, inventedness and internal cracks. This study reassesses a long-forgotten material: The Falls of Clyde (1806) by John Black. It also draws attention to the relatively ‘marginal’ texts by Scott and Hogg, and attempts a radical interpretation of Langian works, arguing that Lang played a significant role in the processes of the diasporic re-imagining of Scottishness which were arguably undertaken outside Scotland by Briticised elites, and are a neglected yet important part of post-Union Scottish nation writing. Drawing on a wide range of texts and paratexts, this study foregrounds a profound complicity in the conceptions of Scotland and national identity inscribed in fairy narratives, perceiving the sub-genre as a site of realism rather than fantasy.

This thesis explores Hogg's interpretation of indeterminacy both throughout his career and in Justified Sinner, especially in the character Gil-Martin. Hogg seems to reject the tradition of choosing one side over another in such a dichotomy, and instead chooses to look at both extremes as equally co-present. Hogg wrote Justified Sinner within the framework of the literary Gothic tradition and used Gothic tropes to create ambiguity throughout his novel, as is the case throughout his body of works. Many of the ambiguities in Justified Sinner center on the character Gil-Martin. My interpretation of Gil-Martin's ambiguity complicates the traditional scholarship on Justified Sinner.Master of Arts

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Reading James Hogg’s 1824 novel The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner through a postsecular lens provides a new framework for spirituality. This framework establishes spirituality as a place of tension and uncertainty between the text’s main ideologies—Enlightenment rationality and religious, specifically Calvinist, fanaticism. The text explores this place of tension through its doubled narrative structure and by demonstrating the crisis of faith that the fictional Editor of the text undergoes. Confessions brings a compelling new paradigm to discussions of the postsecular that allows insight into the complex intersections of Enlightenment rationality and empiricism as well as religious zealotry and the supernatural.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
In The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner (1824), James Hogg uses the uncanny trope of the bier-right, a medieval superstitious belief of Christian origin that a murdered corpse will bleed in the presence or at the touch of the actual murderer, to negotiate his struggle with fading belief in local superstitions and religious faith in the Scottish Borders. Examining the origins of the bier-right, court cases involving the bier-right, and Hogg's minor works using the bier-right I offer a comparison of how Hogg manipulates and morphs this trope in Confessions. I also argue that the main character, the sinner Robert Wringhim, becomes a living-dead embodiment of the bier-right corpse.

This research looks into the development of green building policy in Vietnam based on the results of a survey and interviews with construction professionals and policy-makers in Vietnam. It reveals the current market state, barriers and drivers to green building development, recommended policies and, thus, provides a policy-making framework as a holistic approach to policy design integrating those data and the relevant policy community. This study is also the first of its kind to investigate a case study for policy change and policy learning from a prospective approach, integrating two widely applied methods – lesson drawing guidance and policy transfer framework. It gives an important insight into factors affecting the process of initiating and incorporating a new policy for green building development in the current legislation given the complexity of a network of actors.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Persistent Pasts: Historical Palimpsests in Nineteenth-Century Prose traces Victorian historical discourse with specific attention to the works of Thomas Carlyle and George Eliot and their relation to historicism in earlier works by Sir Walter Scott and James Hogg. I argue that the Victorian response to the tense relation between the materialist Enlightenment and the idealist rhetoric of Romanticism marks a decidedly ethical turn in Victorian historical discourse. The writers introduce the dialectic of enlightened empiricism and romantic idealism to invoke the historical imagination as an ethical response to the call of the past. I read the dialectic and its invitation to ethics through the figure of the palimpsest. Drawing upon theoretical work on the palimpsest from Carlyle and de Quincey through Gérard Genette and Sarah Dillon, I analyze ways in which the materialist and idealist discourses interrupt each other and persist in one another. Central to my argument are concepts drawn from Walter Benjamin, Emmanuel Levinas, Richard Rorty, and Frank Ankersmit that challenge and / or affirm historical materiality.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Recent studies of globalization provide contrasting views of the cultural and sociopolitical effects of such major corporations as Disney as they invest transnationally and circulate their offerings around the world. While some scholars emphasize the ubiquity of Disney’s products and its promotion of consumerism on a global scale, accompanied by cultural homogenization, faltering democracy, and diminishing state sovereignty, others highlight signs of contestation and resistance, questioning the various state-capitalist alliances presumed to hold in the encounter between a global company, a local state, and the people.
The settlement process and the cultural import of Hong Kong Disneyland in Hong Kong complicate these studies because of the evolving post-colonial situation that Disney encounters in Hong Kong. While Disney specializes in “imagineering” dreams, Hong Kong itself is messily imagining what “Hong Kong” is and should be, and how it should deal with others, including transnational companies and Mainlanders. In this thesis, I appropriate Doreen Massey’s ideas of space-time in order to examine Hong Kong Disneyland not as a self-enclosed park but as itself a multiplicity of spaces where dynamic social relations intersect in the wider context of post-colonial Hong Kong. I illuminate the shifting relationship between Disney, Mainlanders, and the locals as this relationship develops in its discursive, institutional, and everyday-life aspects. Through interviews and ethnographic research, I study how my respondents have established and interpreted the meanings of Hong Kong Disneyland, and how they have made use of the park to support their own constructions of place, of politics, and of identity.

In het Medisch Spectrum Twente te Enschede is op de afdeling klinische neurofysiologie nieuwe EEG- apparatuur aangeschaft. Met EEG-apparatuur kan het elektro-encefalogram opgenomen worden. Dit is een weergave van de extracraniële potentialen als gevolg van de activiteit van neuronen in de hersenen. Deze worden gemeten met elektroden die op de hoofdhuid worden geplaatst. Conventionele EEG-apparatuur maakt gebruik van 20 à 30 elektroden en de signalen op deze elektroden worden gesampled met ongeveer 250 Hz. De nieuw aangeschafte apparatuur heeft een aanzienlijk grotere spatiële en temporele resolutie, nl. 64 elektroden op hetzelfde hoofdoppervlak en een maximale samplefrequentie van 5000 Hz. De EEG-registratie met dergelijke apparatuur wordt dan ook High Definition Encephalography (HDE) genoemd. Met HDE zijn een aantal toepassingen mogelijk die niet met conventionele EEG-apparatuur mogelijk zijn. De belangrijkste hiervan is de bronlokalisatie. Bij bronlokalisatie wordt door een inverse methode de meest waarschijnlijke oorsprong van de potentialen op de hoofdhuid berekend. Het bepalen van de positie van de bron van elektrische activiteit heeft klinische importantie, omdat dit een hulpmiddel kan zijn bij bijvoorbeeld operaties om epileptische foci te verwijderen in gevallen waar medicijnen geen effect hebben. Voor bronlokalisatie zijn een aantal technieken ontwikkeld, waaronder deblurring/deconvolutie en de dipole fit. Deze laatste kan gebruikt worden als piekgolven in het EEG aanwezig zijn. Piekgolven zijn ongewoon scherpe pieken met een duur kleiner dan ongeveer 70 ms en een amplitude tot 300 µV die gevolgd worden door een veel langer durend golfverschijnsel. Als piekgolven in het EEG aanwezig zijn duidt dit op hyperactiviteit in een zeer beperkt gebied in de hersenen. Dit gebied kan gemodelleerd worden met een dipool. Het dipoolmodel gaat uit van een ladingsscheiding in een punt welke fungeert als bron voor elektrische activiteit. Er wordt onderscheidt gemaakt tussen een fixed dipole, een rotating dipole en een moving dipole. In deze volgorde hebben deze modellen steeds meer vrijheidsgraden. Een dipool wordt gedefinieerd door een positie, een oriëntatie en een sterkte. Bij het moving dipole model kunnen deze parameters alle in de tijd veranderen. Omdat de data opgenomen met de HDE-apparatuur, respectievelijk de bewerkingen hiermee erg veel opslag- en rekencapaciteit kosten als met de maximale samplefrequentie geregistreerd wordt, is bij de beoogde gebruikers van de apparatuur de vraag gerezen of het wel noodzakelijk is met een dergelijk hoge frequentie te registreren. Om deze vraag te beantwoorden is een onderzoek opgezet met het doel te bepalen wat de invloed is van samplefrequentieverlaging bij HDE-registratie op de parameters van bronnen gelokaliseerd met het dipoolmodel. Hiertoe is een HDE-registratie bij een proefpersoon uitgevoerd, bij wie een aanzienlijk aantal piekgolven in het HDE voorkwam. Dit HDE is gedownsampled met een playbackfunctie naar 2500 Hz, 1250 Hz, 625 Hz, 312 Hz, 156 Hz en 78 Hz. Het resultaat hiervan zijn een aantal overeenkomende EEG’s welke in enige mate van elkaar verschillen, omdat ze (virtueel) met verschillende samplefrequenties zijn opgenomen. Uit de originele HDE data zijn een aantal piekgolven gezocht, welke voor elke bovenstaande frequentie en voor de originele HDE data voor analyse zijn weggeschreven. Vervolgens zijn op deze pieken bronlokalisaties uitgevoerd volgens het moving dipole model. De resulterende dipoolparameters zijn ter evaluatie in een spreadsheet gezet. De conclusies die uit de verwerking van de dipooldata volgen kunnen als volgt worden samengevat: • Tot een samplefrequentie van 625 Hz vertonen de dipoolposities ten hoogste een gemiddelde afwijking van 1.68 mm met standaardeviatie 1.30 mm. Bij verdere verlaging van de samplefrequentie naar 312 is het positieverschil met de 5000 Hz dipool gemiddeld 2.23 mm met standaarddeviatie 1.04 mm. Als dan de frequentie nog verlaagd wordt gaan de verschillen een logaritmische trend volgen, met bij 78 Hz een verschil van 7.62 mm met standaardeviatie 2.05 mm. Hieraan zijn een aantal voorbehouden verbonden, welke bij annihilatie aanvullend onderzoek nog kunnen leiden tot kleinere verschillen (en in principe niet tot grotere verschillen): • Het headmodel, welke de geleidingseigenschappen van het hoofd modelleren, dat gebruikt is voor de bronlokalisatie was verre van ideaal. Het ideale headmodel is een realistic headmodel welke gegenereerd kan worden uit een MRI-scan. Het gebruikte headmodel is een sferisch drie schillen model. • Uit het onderzoek is gebleken dat afwijkingen in de elektrodeposities grote invloed kunnen hebben op de bronparameters. Of (en zo ja, hoeveel) de opgenomen elektrodeposities afwijken van de werkelijkheid is niet te achterhalen. • Mogelijk heeft de gebruikte playbackfunctie die gebruikt is voor downsampling invloed op de resulterende bronparameters. Om een sterke conclusie over de invloed van de samplefrequentie op de bronparameters te verkrijgen moet het onderzoek herhaald worden met een aantal aanpassingen: • Er moet een nieuwe geschikte proefpersoon gevonden worden. Bij deze proefpersoon moet een MRI-scan van het hoofd gemaakt worden, waarbij de slicedikte gelijk is aan de resolutie in de scanrichting. Op deze manier is de resolutie van de driedimensionale reconstructie in alle drie reguliere scanrichtingen gelijk. Een resolutie van 1 mm is naar de mening van schrijver dezes voldoende. Ook moet er voor gewaakt worden dat geen slices worden weggelaten die voor andere doeleinden geen klinische importantie hebben: het hele hoofd moet gescand worden. • Bij de HDE-registratie moeten de elektrodeposities zorgvuldig door meerdere personen meerdere malen opgenomen worden. Het middelen van de elektrodeposities geeft een betrouwbaar resultaat, waarbij zeker is dat de persoon die de elektrodeposities registreert geen invloed heeft op de resulterende elektrodeposities. • Er moeten meerdere EEG-registratie plaatsvinden bij verschillende frequenties. Als dit gecombineerd wordt met downsampling via playback is gegarandeerd dat de reproducability acceptabel is, alsmede dat gevolgen die mogelijk geïntroduceerd worden door downsampling via playback opgemerkt worden. • Voordat het onderzoek herhaald wordt, moet onderzoek plaatsvinden naar de EEG-vorm. Uit dit onderzoek moet blijken of er piekvormen bestaan die de piek op alle kanalen op dezelfde latentie vertonen. Als dit het geval is en er wordt een proefpersoon met deze piekvorm gevonden kan met lokalisatie op de pieklatentie volstaan worden.
