A review symposium on Gananath Obeyesekere's Medusa's Hair: An Essay on Personal Symbols and Religious Experience & The Cult of the Goddess Pattini (both published in Chicago: U of Chicago Press, ...1984 see listings in IRPS No. 41). In Gananath Obeyesekere and the Study of Religion, Patrick Olivelle (Indiana U, Bloomington) notes that Obeyesekere is one of the few social scientists primarily concerned with religious phenomena, with interests focused on psychoanalytic interpretation of symbols, though some of his symbolic interpretations rely on oversimplified contrasts between Hinduism & Buddhism. In How to Look at Medusa without Turning to Stone, Richard A. Shweder (U of Chicago, Ill) sees Obeyesekere as exemplifying modern heroes who are willing to look at what terrifies them. His Medusa's Head explores the meaning of head hair, rejecting social conventionalism almost completely in favor of ideas derived from psychoanalysis about the psychobiological roots of folk symbolisms. In On Female Body and Sexuality, Veena Das (U of Delhi, India) examines Obeyesekere's view of the nature of F sexuality, which is focused on an ideal-typical F personality based primarily on brahmanic texts. This approach appears to oversimplify a complex reality & to impose an excessively phallocentric view of women. In A View from Britain, R. L. Stirrat (U of Sussex, Falmer Brighton, England) finds numerous ideas in Obeyesekere's work that are systematically rejected by British social anthropology. The aim of his work is to fuse the psychological & the anthropological, & to do so, he is prepared to reject any Durkheimian ideas of autonomous social facts. The possible benefits of such an approach are examined. In Therapeutic History, E. Valentine Daniel (U of Washington, Seattle) sees The Cult of the Goddess Pattini as a work written with therapeutic aims in the psychoanalytic sense, thus spanning the gap between theory & myth as psychoanalysis in general does. In Psychoanalysis and Anthropology: A Renewed Alliance, Sudhir Kakar (Center for the Study of Developing Societies, 29 Rajpur Rd, Delhi 110054, India) sees Obeyesekere's work as exemplifying a new approach to the incorporation of psychoanalysis in anthropology -- one founded on the recognition of alternatives in psychoanalysis to classical drive theory. Obeyesekere is prepared to interpret symbols flexibly & according to their contexts, a major advantage of his work, though he could benefit from greater openness to nonclassical models in psychoanalysis. In The Power of Personal Symbols, Fitz John Porter Poole (U of California at San Diego, La Jolla) explores the theoretical potential of Obeyesekere's concept of personal symbol. In Re-Reflections on Pattini and Medusa, Gananath Obeyesekere (Princeton U, NJ) explores the theoretical & methodological issues raised by the various commentators, with emphasis on how to read the two books being discussed & on the relevance of psychoanalysis for anthropology.

Influx of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and monocytes (MNs) into pleural spaces was decreased in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-treated rabbits infected intrapleurally with Staphylococcus aureus. In ...addition, pleural fluids contained S. aureus longer and marked pleural thickening with fibrosis occurred in DMSO-treated rabbits. DMSO also inhibited stimulated locomotion of PMN and MN in vitro, suggesting that the aforementioned responses in vivo may have occurred because of DMSO-mediated inhibition of the locomotion of PMN and MN.
Electromagnetic open-guiding structures, or surface waveguides, for continuous-access guided communication (CAGC) and obstacle detection ("guided radar"), are described for use in ground ...transportation, such as railways, highways, and more advanced guided systems. The experimental and theoretical work at Queen's University on surface-wave devices and their application to obstacle detection are reviewed in detail. It is concluded that there is considerable promise in these techniques and that obstacle detection, in particular, deserves much more attention than it appears to have received.
In a search for receptors for immunoglobulin Fc fragment and activated complement component C3 (C3b) in normal or rheumatic heart valve tissues, sheep erythrocytes sensitized with IgM (IgM EA), IgG ...(IgG EA) and IgM plus activated complement (IgM EA C3b) were used in a closed-chamber immune adherence technique. Neither this method nor a separate immunofluorescence technique revealed the presence of such immunologic receptors in frozen sections of heart valves.
