Chapter 4 Logical Time in Austen’s Persuasion
Jane Austen and Critical Theory is a collection of new essays that addresses the absence of Critical Theory in Austen studies—an absence that has limited the reach of Austen criticism. The collection brings together innovative scholars who ask new and challenging questions about the efficacy of Austen’s work. This volume confronts mythical understandings of Austen as “Dear Aunt Jane,” the early twentieth-century legacy of Austen as a cultural salve, and the persistent habit of reading her works for advice or instructions. The authors pursue a diversity of methods, encourage us to build new kinds of relationships to Austen and her writings, and demonstrate how these relationships might generate new ideas and possibilities—ideas and possibilities that promise to expand the ways in which we deploy Austen. The book specifically reminds us of the vital importance of Austen and her fiction for central concerns of the humanities, including the place of the individual within civil society, the potential for new identities and communities, the urgency to address racial and sexual oppression, and the need to imagine more just futures

Crystallographic comparison of the estrogen and progesterone receptor's ligand binding domains
The 2.8-A crystal structure of the complex formed by estradiol and the human estrogen receptor-alpha ligand binding domain (hERalphaLBD) is described and compared with the recently reported structure of the progesterone complex of the human progesterone receptor ligand binding domain, as well as with similar structures of steroid/nuclear receptor LBDs solved elsewhere
Consumer Bankruptcy Panel: Bringing Relevance Back to Consumer Bankruptcy
Conversations on the consumer panel centered around the relevance of bankruptcy for the average consumer and how the system could be improved. The bulk of this panel discussed the notion that the Bankruptcy Code, when drafted, did not effectively cover many of issues faced by the average consumer today. The astronomical increases in student loan debt, credit card debt, mortgages, and car payments are some of the key issues discussed

Linking marine predator diving behavior to local prey fields in contrasting habitats in a subarctic glacial fjord
Foraging theory predicts that animals will
adjust their foraging behavior in order to maximize net
energy intake and that trade-offs may exist that can influence
their behavior. Although substantial advances have
been made with respect to the foraging ecology of large
marine predators, there is still a limited understanding of
how predators respond to temporal and spatial variability
in prey resources, primarily due to a lack of empirical
studies that quantify foraging and diving behavior concurrently
with characteristics of prey fields. Such information
is important because changes in prey availability can influence
the foraging success and ultimately fitness of marine
predators. We assessed the diving behavior of juvenile
female harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) and prey
fields near glacial ice and terrestrial haulout sites in Glacier
Bay (58°40′N, −136°05′W), Alaska. Harbor seals captured
at glacial ice sites dived deeper, had longer dive durations, lower percent bottom time, and generally traveled further to
forage. The increased diving effort for seals from the glacial
ice site corresponded to lower prey densities and prey
at deeper depths at the glacial ice site. In contrast, seals
captured at terrestrial sites dived shallower, had shorter
dive durations, higher percent bottom time, and traveled
shorter distances to access foraging areas with much higher
prey densities at shallower depths. The increased diving
effort for seals from glacial ice sites suggests that the lower
relative availability of prey may be offset by other factors,
such as the stability of the glacial ice as a resting platform
and as a refuge from predation. We provide evidence of differences
in prey accessibility for seals associated with glacial
ice and terrestrial habitats and suggest that seals may
balance trade-offs between the costs and benefits of using
these habitats
