The limits of lovemaking and community: infertility in "Their eyes were watching God"

Janie Crawford, the protagonist in Zora Neale Hurston‟s Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937), never fully grows up or integrates completely into any of the communities of which she is a part in the novel. She therefore remains “infertile” in several relationships and communities that showcase diverse kinds of “fertility,” whether that fertility is Logan Killicks‟s productivity with his farmland, Jody Starks‟s successes in building Eatonville, or even Tea Cake‟s skills at gambling and guitar-playing. No matter her environment, Janie remains outside of systems of fertility, more child-like than adult, which means that the blossoming pear tree image that surrounds her, and which seems to epitomize sexuality and fertility, is wasted on Janie, because she refuses to grow up and become fertile either by procreating or by contributing creatively to the communities in which she lives.Janie Crawford, la protagonista de Sus ojos miraban a Dios (1937), de Zora Neale Hurston, nunca se hace del todo adulta ni se integra completamente en ninguna de las comunidades de las que forma parte en la novela. Por tanto, permanece “estéril” en varias relaciones y comunidades que son emblemáticas de diferentes tipos de “fertilidad,” sea esta fertilidad la productividad de Logan Killicks con su granja, los éxitos de Jody Starks en la construcción de Eatonville, o incluso las habilidades de Tea Cake para el juego y la guitarra. En cualquiera que sea su entorno, Janie permanece fuera de los sistemas de fertilidad, más infantil que adulta, lo que significa que la imagen del peral en flor que la acompaña, y que parece ser el epítome de la sexualidad y la fertilidad, se desperdicia en el caso de Janie, ya que ella se niega a crecer y a convertirse en fértil ya sea procreando o contribuyendo de forma creativa a las comunidades en las que vive

Eric Davidson. A genomic control odyssey

While writing this article, I came to realize that it is utterly impossible to capture the spirit, scientific contributions, or colorful personality of Eric Davidson in a few pages, or even a whole journal, and so I won't even try. I would nevertheless like to pay tribute to an enormously powerful mind and a great intellectual partner and friend, with whom I worked very closely over the last almost nine years, and I will do so in two ways. On the one hand, I will give a brief and entirely subjective account of what I would regard as the most profound expression of his scientific intellect, which is his lifelong journey to understand the genomic control of development. On the other hand, I will remember Eric's very expressive personality in the form of but a few examples of our interactions. What impressed me most about Eric's spirit, of which I am reminded by the photograph in Fig. 1, is that despite the incredible amount of his achievements, Eric never stopped until his very last day to think about what lays ahead, driven by immense curiosity and a deep desire to understand the natural world around us

Sensing Models and Its Impact on Network Coverage in Wireless Sensor Network

Network coverage of wireless sensor network (WSN) means how well an area of interest is being monitored by the deployed network. It depends mainly on sensing model of nodes. In this paper, we present three types of sensing models viz. Boolean sensing model, shadow-fading sensing model and Elfes sensing model. We investigate the impact of sensing models on network coverage. We also investigate network coverage based on Poisson node distribution. A comparative study between regular and random node placement has also been presented in this paper. This study will be useful for coverage analysis of WSN.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, IEEE Region 10 Colloquium and the Third ICIIS, Kharagpur, INDIA December 8-10, 200

STATIC AND DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF BLACK HAWK UH- 60 ROTOR BLADE USING COMPOSITE MATERIALS

The Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk is a four-bladed, part-turbine, medium-lift utility helicopter artificial by Sikorsky Aircraft. Sikorsky relate the S-70 purpose for the United States Army's Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS) dissension in 1972. The Army appointed the original as the YUH-60A and choice the Black Hawk as the winner of the application in 1976, after a parasite-off contention with the Boeing Virto YUH-61. In this statement, the BLACK HAWK UH- 60 ROTOR BLADE modeling in CREO parametric software and analysed for its spirit worn Finite Element analysis software ANSYS Structural, analysis will be done in ANSYS on the dissimilar materials (s2 glass, Kevlar) win turbine blade materialize steel refund with s2 glass at different speeds and different geometries

Leakage-Aware Interconnect for On-Chip Network

On-chip networks have been proposed as the interconnect fabric for future systems-on-chip and multi-processors on chip. Power is one of the main constraints of these systems and interconnect consumes a significant portion of the power budget. In this paper, we propose four leakage-aware interconnect schemes. Our schemes achieve 10.13%~63.57% active leakage savings and 12.35%~95.96% standby leakage savings across schemes while the delay penalty ranges from 0% to 4.69%.Comment: Submitted on behalf of EDAA (http://www.edaa.com/

The Effect of S-glutahionylation of KEAP-1/NRF-2 and Caspase 3

S-glutathionylation is a form of post-translational modification where glutathione forms disulfide bonds with protein cysteine residues under oxidative conditions. The process of Sglutathionylation is important because it is a reversible process, regulates enzyme activity, and may link to disease development. In this work, under physiological conditions, KEAP-1 and NRF-2 bind together as a complex. Upon oxidative stress, NRF-2 dissociates from KEAP-1 and triggers an antioxidant response. However, the dissociation mechanism was not well studied. S-glutathionylation of KEAP-1 causes dissociation of NRF-2. This result demonstrates a possible dissociation mechanism of NRF-2. Caspase 3 is a cysteine containing protein and a key enzyme in executing apoptosis in cells. The cysteine residue is required for its activity. Our results show that S-glutathionylation of the cysteine inhibits caspase 3 activity and that inhibition can be reversed by the addition of dithiothreitol (DTT). The inhibition of caspase 3 activity with GSSG and reactivation of caspase 3 activity with DTT showed a concentration dependent manner. Our work shows that the process of protein S-glutathionylation can affect cellular protein physiological functions under oxidative stress.https://collected.jcu.edu/celebration_2023/1004/thumbnail.jp

HOME IS WHERE THE HATRED IS

Taking inspiration from my own life and family history, this project is a fictionalized record of the type of struggles in the way of prosperity, kinship, and redemption. These themes are shown through the lives of three generations of Afro-Caribbean women as they attempt reconnection years later abroad. Rose, Grace, and Anansi Powell are the subjects in question, pressured to confront their past through the presence of one another in order to move forward with their respective futures. The grief and pain that surfaces in response to Rose’s unannounced arrival makes way for more than just a simple reunion
