Chitons (Polyplacophora) are marine molluscs that mostly inhabit rocky intertidal shores. Their biological and phylogenetic studies are comparatively sparse in the western Indo-Pacific regions. In ...addition, chitons belonging to the subfamily Acanthopleurinae Dall, 1889, collected from the Andaman Sea of the northeastern Indian Ocean and the Jizan coast of Saudi Arabia were sequenced and analyzed to study the phylogenetic affinities. The analysis was carried out using a single locus dataset (cytochrome oxidase 1) generated during the present study and integrated with sequences retrieved from GenBank. Acanthopleura gemmata (Blainville, 1825) from India was linked to Acanthopleura vaillantii Rochebrune, 1882, from the Saudi Arabia coast. Squamopleura miles (Carpenter in Pilsbry, 1893) from the Indian coast forms a separate clade representing the genus. Furthermore, the results illustrate several significant instances of misplacement of several species under the wrong genus and the existence of cryptic species within the genera Acanthopleura and Squamopleura. An integrated approach is required to better understand these important intertidal groups’ taxonomy, systematics, and biogeography.
We present a combined optical and X-ray analysis of the rich cluster ABELL 1882 (A1882) with the aim of identifying merging substructure and understanding the recent assembly history of this system. ...Our optical data consist of spectra drawn from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly survey, which lends itself to this kind of detailed study thanks to its depth and high spectroscopic completeness. We use 283 spectroscopically confirmed cluster members to detect and characterize substructure. We complement the optical data with X-ray data taken with both Chandra and XMM. Our analysis reveals that A1882 harbors two main components, A1882A and A1882B, which have a projected separation of ~2 Mpc and a line of sight velocity difference of v sub(los) ~ -428 super(+187) sub(-139) km s super(-1). We interpret the A1882A/A1882B system as being observed prior to a core passage. These blue fractions do not differ significantly from the blue fraction measured from an ensemble of 20 clusters with similar mass and redshift.
"I am no more lonely than the Mill Brook, or a weathercock, or the north star, or the south wind, or an April shower, or a January thaw, or the first spider in a new house," wrote Henry David Thoreau ...inWalden.In creating this list, and many others that appear in his writings, Thoreau was working within a little-recognized yet ancient literary tradition: the practice of listing or cataloguing. This beautifully written book is the first to examine literary lists and the remarkably wide range of ways writers use them.Robert Belknap first examines lists through the centuries-from Sumerian account tablets and Homer's catalogue of ships to Tom Sawyer's earnings from his fence-painting scheme-then focuses on lists in the works of four American Renaissance authors: Emerson, Whitman, Melville, and Thoreau. Lists serve a variety of functions in Emerson's essays, Whitman's poems, Melville's novels, and Thoreau's memoirs, and Belknap discusses their surprising variety of pattern, intention, scope, art, and even philosophy. In addition to guiding the reader through the list's many uses, this book explores the pleasures that lists offer.
En novembre 1874, Gustave Bouchereau (1835–1900) Gustave Lolliot (1840–1882) et Valentin Magnan (1835–1916) achètent à la veuve de Louis-Marc Chabrier de Lic (1783–1804), concessionnaire de ...l’éclairage à l’huile dans Paris et directeur du théâtre des Variétés (Paris), le château de Suresnes. Là, ils fondent une société qui a pour but la création et l’exploitation d’une maison de santé pour les maladies mentales et nerveuses dans cette propriété située dans la commune du même nom. La maison de santé de Suresnes recevait dans deux parties distinctes des pensionnaires libres et des malades atteints d’affection mentale. Elle devient ainsi un des onze asiles privés qui sont, avec les établissements publics d’aliénés, seuls habilités à recevoir des aliénés sur décision du préfet de police pour le département de la Seine. Ouverte au décours de la guerre de 1870, la création de la maison de santé de Suresnes s’inscrit dans le bouleversement des conditions économiques et du fonctionnement des institutions psychiatriques d’après-guerre (l’encombrement marqué des asiles et des services d’aliénés, l’incapacité à transférer les malades en province par refus des familles, l’impossibilité d’admettre précocement des patients qui relevaient de soins psychiatriques sous contrainte ou pas, sans pour autant relever de l’asile) et dans les vicissitudes professionnelles que connurent G. Bouchereau et V. Magnan au bureau central d’admission. Elle a abrité des malades célèbres par leur nom, leur renommée et leur fortune, dont la plus célèbre d’entre eux fut Adèle Hugo (1830–1915). Rénové après la Première Guerre mondiale, Alfred Fillassier (1871–1953), le médecin-directeur de l’époque et gendre de V. Magnan, fait appel aux architectes Pierre Lahalle (1877–1956), Georges Octave Levard (1887–1977) et Maurice Lucet (1877–1941). En 1953, la direction revient au petit-fils de Magnan : Jean-Noël Péron-Magnan (1898–1967) puis au fils de ce dernier : Pierre Noël Péron-Magnan (1924–2013). À l’aube de son centenaire, cette maison de santé où exercèrent de nombreux médecins aliénistes, psychiatres ou pas : Jules-Albert Baronnet, Aimable-Clovis Crété, Jean Durand-Saladin, Félix Guillot, Gabriel Jacques, Socrate Lalou, Léon Pruvost, Jules Renaux, Léon Revertégat, Jean-Maurice Sardain, Jacques Tison et Honoré Saury ferme définitivement ses portes en 1973.
In November 1874, Gustave Bouchereau (1835–1900), Gustave Lolliot (1840–1882) and Valentin Magnan (1835–1916) bought the castle of Suresnes who belonged to the widow of Louis-Marc Chabrier Lic (1783–1804). The latter was the oil lamp's concessionaire and the director of the “Théâtre des Variétés” in Paris. Ours buyers founded a company that aims to create and operate a health house for mental and nervous diseases in this property located in the municipality of Suresnes. This establishment received free residents and mentally ill patients in two separate parts. It is thus becoming one of the eleven private asylums who were able to hospitalize ill patients by decision of the prefect of police in the department of the Seine like the public institutions of insane. It was opened following the 1870 war. Also, his creation occurred in a context of the dislocation in the economic conditions and the functioning of the post-war psychiatric institutions (the marked congestion of the asylums and the services of alienated, the inability to transfer patients to the provinces by refusal of families, the impossibility of early admission of patients who were in psychiatric care under duress or not but without being in asylum) and in the professional vicissitudes experienced by G. Bouchereau and V. Magnan at the Central Admission Office. Famous patients by their names, their fame and their fortune were hospitalized in this establishment. The most famous of them was Adèle Hugo (1830–1915). It was renovated after the First World War. Alfred Fillassier (1871–1953) who was the director at that time and also Magnan's son-in-law called on the most famous architects such as Pierre Lahalle (1877–1956), Georges Octave Levard (1887–1977) and Maurice Lucet (1877–1941). Almost 100 years, many doctors worked there as psychiatrist or not: Jules-Albert Baronnet, Aimable-Clovis Crété, Jean Durand-Saladin, Félix Guillot, Gabriel Jacques, Socrates Lalou, Léon Pruvost, Jules Renaux, Léon Revertégat, Jean-Maurice Sardain, Jacques Tison and Honoré Saury. In 1953, the management returned to Magnan's grandson Jean-Noël Péron-Magnan (1898–1967) and then his great-grandson: Pierre Noël Péron-Magnan (1924–2013). As it approaches its centennial, this health house closed down definitively in 1973.

لعل من أهم الشخصيات النضالية والثورية في أمتنا العربية في العصر الحديث هي شخصية أحمد عرابي، وفطنته وانتمائه الوطني والقومي وأنه كان يحب الشعب المصري وتفانى في الدفاع عنه، ووحد صفوف المصريين بالوقوف ...بالند من مخططات الدول الغربية الأوروبية، فكانت ثورة أحمد عرابي ضد الحاكم الظالم وضد الاستبداد وضد الغزو الأجنبي للاقتصاد المصري، ولا شك أن الوعي التاريخي المتمثل بوعي الشعب المصري ونضاله وكفاحه ضد الاستبداد والقهر، دفع مثل هذه الشخصيات إلى أن تختار التغيير والتضحية من أجل إسعاد هذا الشعب وتحقيق أمانيه، والذي سهل حدوث مثل هذه الثورة هو خصوصية الشعب المصري الذي لا يصبر على ضيم، مما دفع بأحمد عرابي القيام بهذه الثورة الجبارة بتكاتف الجميع ضد الأجنبي وضد الهيمنة الخارجية، فالشعب المصري أخطر أنه شعب لا يقهر ولا يصبر على الخنوع والذل.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's use of unrhymed trochaic tetrameter in his epic poem The Song of Hiawatha created a brief vogue for the form, inspiring both imitations and parodies. The book-length poem ...The Insect Hunters by the entomologist Edward Newman is one such imitation. The comparative facility and inflexibility of the metre led to its demise, though Philip Larkin's 'The Explosion', together with some passages of Hiawatha itself, show that it is capable of sustaining effective poetry. Inspired by the Newman and Larkin poems, I have written my own poem in trochaic tetrameter, 'A Charm for Earwigs'. I argue that, in an age when free verse is losing its power and iambic pentameter no longer seems viable, this unfashionable metre offers a possible medium for contemporary poetry.
The Sailor is an important interpretive analysis of the Roosevelt administration's foreign policy. By challenging previously held assumptions, Schmitz constructs a new narrative about FDR's overall ...attitude to the US and its role in a postwar world. He shows how FDR successfully transformed US neutrality into US internationalism, forever changing the direction of American foreign policy.
To assess the impact of macular surgery on the functional and anatomic outcomes of the patients in different grades of epiretinal membrane (ERM).
Seventy-one eyes of 71 patients who underwent ...23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless pars plana vitrectomy for primary isolated ERM were evaluated in this study.
There were 38 females (53.5%) and 33 males (46.5%). The average age of the patients was 68.1y (range 42-89y). Mean follow up period was 14mo (range 6-26mo). The cases were divided into two subgroups of cellophane maculopathy (CM) and macular pucker (MP). An improvement was observed in the postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), as well as a decrement in central foveal thickness (CFT) in both groups (both of these being statistically significant;
=0.001). In comparison between two groups, it was found that there was a significant improvement on BCVA and CFT in CM group than MP group (
=0.01). Furthermore, the postoperative fundus findings regarding RPE alterations and macular edema were significantly higher in MP group when compared to the CM group (
=0.01).
ERM and internal limiting membrane peeling surgery can lead to a significant reduction of CFT and visual improvements in idiopathic ERM. A long-term ERM persistence will cause unrecoverable retinal damage and visual loss.
Panepiphanal World is the first in-depth study of the forty short texts James Joyce called “epiphanies.” Composed between 1901 and 1904, at the beginning of Joyce’s writing career, these texts are ...often dismissed as juvenilia. Sangam MacDuff argues that the epiphanies are an important point of origin for Joyce’s entire body of work, showing how they shaped the structure, style, and language of his later writings.
Tracing the ways Joyce incorporates the epiphanies into Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses , and Finnegans Wake , MacDuff describes the defining characteristics of the epiphanies—silence and repetition, materiality and reflexivity—as a set of recurrent and inter-related tensions in the development of Joyce’s oeuvre. MacDuff uses fresh archival evidence, including a new typescript of the epiphanies that he discovered, to show the importance of the epiphanies throughout Joyce’s career.
MacDuff compares Joyce’s concept of epiphany to classical, biblical, and Romantic revelations, showing that instead of pointing to divine transcendence or the awakening of the sublime, Joyce’s epiphanies are rooted in and focused on language. MacDuff argues that the Joycean epiphany is an apt characterization of modernist literature and that the linguistic forces at play in these early texts are also central to the work of Joyce’s contemporaries including Woolf, Beckett, and Eliot.
