Introduction: Waterloo and is afterlife in the nineteenth-century periodical and newspaper press

This article contextualises the battle of Waterloo and its impact on cultural life through the pages of the printed press. It looks at specific case studies and selects a number of issues to demonstrate how this event was possible the most defining battle of the nineteenth century

Authorship as cultural performance: new perspectives in authorship studies

This article proposes a performative model of authorship, based on the historical alternation between predominantly 'weak' and 'strong' author concepts and related practices of writing, publication and reading. Based on this model, we give a brief overview of the historical development of such author concepts in English literature from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. We argue for a more holistic approach to authorship within a cultural topography, comprising social contexts, technological and media factors, and other cultural developments, such as the distinction between privacy and the public sphere

Waterloo as a small 'Realm of memory': British writers, tourism, and the periodical press

This article focuses on the role played by periodicals in the creation of Waterloo as a British realm of memory or how Waterloo became Waterloo. The question is first explored and illustrated by means of David Wilkie’s painting The Chelsea Pensioners reading the Waterloo Dispatch. The paper then especially zooms in on texts about the battlefield by famous poets and the ways in which contemporary journals and newspapers used those texts to construct and celebrate a shared national pride in Wellington’s victory. In the last analysis it will reveal how the press enhanced the popularity of Waterloo as a physical lieu de mémoire that was to become a fixed destiny in the pilgrimages of authors – and, later in the century, all British tourists – to the continent in search of an affirmation of their national identity

Partially shared buffers with full or mixed priority

This paper studies a finite-sized discrete-time two-class priority queue. Packets of both classes arrive according to a two-class discrete batch Markovian arrival process (2-DBMAP), taking into account the correlated nature of arrivals in heterogeneous telecommunication networks. The model incorporates time and space priority to provide different types of service to each class. One of both classes receives absolute time priority in order to minimize its delay. Space priority is implemented by the partial buffer sharing acceptance policy and can be provided to the class receiving time priority or to the other class. This choice gives rise to two different queueing models and this paper analyses both these models in a unified manner. Furthermore, the buffer finiteness and the use of space priority raise some issues on the order of arrivals in a slot. This paper does not assume that all arrivals from one class enter the queue before those of the other class. Instead, a string representation for sequences of arriving packets and a probability measure on the set of such strings are introduced. This naturally gives rise to the notion of intra-slot space priority. Performance of these queueing systems is then determined using matrix-analytic techniques. The numerical examples explore the range of service differentiation covered by both models

Regularity and asynchrony when tapping to tactile, auditory and combined pulses

This research is carried out with the aim to develop assistive technology that helps users following the beat in music, which is of interest to cohchlear implant users. The envisioned technology would use tactile feedback on each musical beat. However, this raises fundamental questions about uni- and cross-modal perception which are not addressed in similar context in the literature. The aim of this study was i) to find out how well users are able to follow tactile pulses. ii) To gain insights in the differences between auditory, tactile and combined auditory-tactile feedback. A tapping experiment was organized with 27 subjects. They were requested to tap along with an auditory pulse, a tactile pulse and a combined auditory-tactile pulse in three different tempi. An evaluation with respect to regularity and asynchrony followed. Subjects were found to perform significantly better in terms of reqularity and asynchrony for the auditory and auditory/tactile condition with respect to the tactile only condition. Mean negative asynchrony (MNA) for auditory and combined (auditory and tactile) conditions were in the range of previous studies. The MNA’s for the tactile conditions showed a remarkable dependence on tempo. In the 90BPM condition a clear anticipation (-20ms) was reported, for the 120BPM condition the mean was around zero, the 150BPM condition showed a positive MNA (a reaction vs anticipation). An effect that could be encorporated into the design of an assistive technology

Blood Flow Restriction Therapy And A Comprehensive Home Exercise Program Following An ACL And Meniscal Repair: A Case Report

Every year in the United States, up to 60 per 100,000 people sustain an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. Medial meniscus tears have been reported in roughly 60% of the ACL tear population, while lateral meniscus tears have been reported in approximately 30%. Blood flow restriction therapy (BFRT) has shown improved strength and muscle hypertrophy with low load exercises by occluding blood flow at the proximal thigh. A minimally structured physical therapy (PT) program with a home exercise program (HEP) has been shown to be more effective at 3 months after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) compared to standard PT sessions alone. Currently there is a lack of research on the combined effects of a comprehensive HEP and BFRT for patients who have had an ACLR and meniscal repair. The purpose of this case report was to investigate the effects of BFRT and a comprehensive lower extremity (LE) strengthening HEP for a patient following an ACL and meniscal repair.https://dune.une.edu/pt_studcrposter/1167/thumbnail.jp
