Approaches to wind resource verification

Verification of the regional wind energy resource assessments produced by the Pacific Northwest Laboratory addresses the question: Is the magnitude of the resource given in the assessments truly representative of the area of interest? Approaches using qualitative indicators of wind speed (tree deformation, eolian features), old and new data of opportunity not at sites specifically chosen for their exposure to the wind, and data by design from locations specifically selected to be good wind sites are described. Data requirements and evaluation procedures for verifying the resource are discussed

Documenting Vietnam: Television War and the Representation of Physical Experience

«No man can act before the camera in the face of death». This statement by EmestHemingway does not only claim authority for the images from the Spanish Civil war ofJoris lvens' Spanish Earth (1937). The decidedly dry and restrained diction ofHemingway's performance as author and speaker of this Voice of God was not onlymuch admired for its difference to contemporary newsreel and documentary practicewhen the film was released in the US; its very factual mode of presentation also transports Hemingway' s assertions to a level of universal and pragmatic truth about an essential affinity of documentary modes of representation the mise en scene of military combat.«No man can act before the camera in the face of death».

"Out of Mere Words": Linguistic Placement, Displacements, and Replacements in A Portrait of The Artist as a Young Man

This item was originally part of a presentation at the 2015-16 Angelo State Graduate Research Colloquium.James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, while seemingly simple both thematically and structurally, is a deceptively complex novel which embodies the major development in Joyce’s fiction— Joyce’s movement past realism and into modernism. When reading Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, readers are painfully aware that language, philosophy, and references are functioning at a level above their, and usually the characters’, understandings. In contrast, Portrait is almost universally relatable. Due to its episodic construction, as well as the fact that the narrative focuses initially on Stephen as a child, Portrait exhibits some of Joyce’s most insightful observations about the shifting nature of language as well as how it functions on a societal level. Through parallel incidents in each of Portrait’s five chapters, Joyce shows the tendency of people and institutions to “displace” Stephen through language. Which in this case is meant to indicate an attempt to position Stephen, either consciously or unconsciously, through language or to place him in a certain role, the good Catholic, the good Irishman, the good son, the artist. Displacements may be thought of as a type of mental or psychological shift, which generally takes the form of a hallucination, a nightmare, or a contemplative daydream. Following these displacements, Joyce shows how Stephen uses language to reposition, or “replace” himself. Essentially, after being displaced, Stephen attempts to return to his previously held belief, although he often finds it insufficient. Stephen must subsequently modify his position in order to accommodate the new information, interactions, and understandings that he acquires.Carr Graduate Research Fellowshi

Development and function of murine B220+CD11c+NK1.1+ cells identify them as a subset of NK cells

Lymphoid organs contain a B220+CD11c+NK1.1+ cell population that was recently characterized as a novel dendritic cell (DC) subset that functionally overlaps with natural killer (NK) cells and plasmacytoid DCs (PDCs). Using Siglec-H and NK1.1 markers, we unambiguously dissected B220+CD11c+ cells and found that PDCs are the only professional interferon (IFN)-α–producing cells within this heterogeneous population. In contrast, B220+CD11c+NK1.1+ cells are a discrete NK cell subset capable of producing higher levels of IFN-γ than conventional NK cells. Unlike DCs, only a minute fraction of B220+CD11c+NK1.1+ cells in the spleen expressed major histocompatibility complex class II ex vivo or after stimulation with CpG. Consistent with being a NK cell subset, B220+CD11c+NK1.1+ cells depended primarily on interleukin 15 and common cytokine receptor γ chain signaling for their development. In terms of function, expression of distinctive cell surface receptors, and location in lymphoid organs, NK1.1+B220+CD11c+ appear to be the murine equivalent of human CD56bright NK cells
