Gamale Kham phonology revisited, with Devanagari-based orthography and lexicon
The purpose of this article is twofold. Firstly, it is a revision of certain aspects of the
phonological analysis of Gamāle Khām by Wilde (2011), a lesser known Central Himalayish
language spoken in midwestern Nepal. Secondly it attempts to reduce Gamāle Khām phonology
to writing. The preliminary orthography suggested in this article uses the Devanāgarī script, and
is supported by an interlinearised text, and a lexicon comprising approximately 1,400
headwords which have also been transcribed with IPA, and glossed in Nepali and English
Cage culture in reservoirs in India (a handbook)
This document is part of a series of 5 technical manuals produced by the Challenge Program Project CP34 “Improved fisheries productivity and management in tropical reservoirs”. The reservoirs of India have a combined surface area of 3.25 million hectares (ha), mostly in the tropical zone, which makes them the country¡¯s most important inland water resource, with huge untapped potential. The prime objective of cage culture discussed here is to rear fingerlings measuring >100 millimetres (mm) in length, especially carp, for stocking reservoirs. The manual discusses various aspects of cage culture from site selection to its economic benefits. (PDF contains 27 pages
Morse at Enoshima and Tokyo
In which our hero sets up a marine laboratory at Enoshima in the
summer of 1877 and then, in the fall, takes up his position as first
professor of Zoology at the Imperial University in Tokyo. And how he
excavates the kitchen middens at Omori and introduces archeology to
Japan; and how he brings his family to live there for two years; and
how he begins to collect pottery; and how he learns how to waste
(enjoy?) time; and how he leaves in 1879 with many interests and ideas
that were not his just three years before

A STUDY ABOUT HOW TO CREATE A MYTHICAL BEAST SUCCESSFULLY, FOCUSING ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE NINE-TAILED FOX IN EASTERN ART
Mythical beasts appear in many forms across multiple cultures throughout human history. Their narratives and visual designs express important beliefs and desires of a given culture. By focusing on the aesthetics and history of the nine-tailed fox, a Chinese mythological, this thesis will explore the constructions and artistic techniques that have given shape to the myth. This thesis will also discuss my thesis project named Classic of Mountains and Seas. The ultimate aim of my creative project has been to develop an animation of new mythical beasts, and this paper situates my creations within the much broader history that has inspired them.
As a classic mythical beast, the nine-tailed fox is a popular and culturally significant one in East Asian art and literature. Through out the ages, the nine-tailed fox has been depicted in a large number of artworks across a wide variety of media, including painting, sculpture, fabric, and crafts. Additionally, there is a rich archive of records about the nine-tailed fox, indicating how pervasive this figure has been throughout history. It is precisely because of how its popularity and power have been maintained over such a long period of time that the nine-tailed fox will be regarded as an important reference for my own artistic practice as an animator
Möbius Scrolls
Möbius Scrolls are structures for drawing that were created to facilitate distinct perceptual experiences of Langshi Village in Guilin, Southern China. They articulate an expanded approach to drawing that is developed through interconnected listening and sounding practices. The Möbius Scroll reconfigures the notions of surface, gesture, line and mark-making that are found in Western drawing practices, by reimagining the function of the traditional Chinese scrolls used in 'shanshui' (mountain/water - landscape) painting. In using the Möbius Scroll to interact with the shanshui visual conventions of stone, water and bamboo of Langshi in their materiality, I extended drawing as a multi-sensory process through the practice of embodied listening. Some of these interactions incorporated Sound Feedback Drawing processes which enabled me to transfigure my experiences of listening and develop new possibilities for the practice of gesture, line and surface in drawing practices. 
Snapshot in a Squiggle: How Painting Terminology Illuminates Short Fiction
This paper will demonstrate that painting terms can offer a helpful avenue to understand short fiction, particularly abstract short fiction. After defining abstraction, realism, and the short story, it will trace relevant stages in the evolution of both painting and short fiction to show how and why the media share similar elements. In this examination, the paper will discuss which features of painting correspond with certain features of short fiction. Based on the essential elements of short fiction, as well as the features mentioned above, the paper will analyze examples of short stories that exemplify how painting parallels short fiction and how terminology drawn from that field can help illuminate abstract short stories
