AN EMPIRIC STUDY ON THE FUNCTION OF ÞA AND ÞONNE IN THE ORGANIZATION OF DISCOURSE

The Old English temporal adverbs þa and þonne have been associated traditionally with diverse meanings (e.g. temporal, causative) and functions (main clause introducer, subordinate clause introducer); within the framework of generative studies, they have been associated with the pragmatic function of separating given from new material in the subordinate clause. This paper aims to explore the function of these adverbs also in the main clause and to determine their role in the pragmatic organization of the clause

Implementasi Metode Design Thinking dalam Tata Panggung Teater Karma Gadis Bisu Karya NS

Implementation Design Thinking Method in the Stage Arrangement of the Karma Gadis Bisu Theater by NS.The design thinking method is a method that is commonly used in the world of design, especially interior design, product design, and visual communication design. Design thinking adopts the way of thinking of a designer in carrying out his creative process. It can be said that design thinking is a method of thinking/perspective/point of view in doing something. This design aims to develop knowledge through the implementation of design thinking methods into the realism of theater stage design. The design process using this method uses 5 stages, Discovery, Interpretation, Ideation, Experimentation, and Evolution, and taking the object of the Karma Gadis Bisu script by NS. The results of this design are in the form of a qualitative concept of theater stage design data. Meanwhile, according to data searches on the scopus.com website, a theater stage layout design using this creative method has not been found. Therefore, this design is feasible to be continued.Keywords: design thinking method, stage sets, theater, Karma Gadis Bis

APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF INTERIOR DESIGN SPATIAL PLANNING FOR THE THEATER STAGE WITH THE SCRIPT “PADA SUATU HARI” BY ARIFIN C. NOER

A stage artist (scenographer) uses his ability to create a background image of a performance according to the needs of the script, director, and play. In carrying out his work he must pay attention to artistic elements and involve various fields of science as well as multidisciplinary arts, including architecture for construction work, and interior design for space processing as well as on stage furniture. This paper attempts to describe the application of interior design spatial principles to the needs of stage artistic layout in theater performances, which are taken and studied through interior design principles according to D.K. Ching ie, Equilibrium; Harmony; Unity and Diversity; Rhythm; Emphasis; Scale and Proportion; Color, Texture and Light.Keyword: spatial planning, interior design, stage artistic layou

All-Optical Reinforcement Learning in Solitonic X-Junctions

L'etologia ha dimostrato che gruppi di animali o colonie possono eseguire calcoli complessi distribuendo semplici processi decisionali ai membri del gruppo. Ad esempio, le colonie di formiche possono ottimizzare le traiettorie verso il cibo eseguendo sia un rinforzo (o una cancellazione) delle tracce di feromone sia spostarsi da una traiettoria ad un'altra con feromone più forte. Questa procedura delle formiche possono essere implementati in un hardware fotonico per riprodurre l'elaborazione del segnale stigmergico. Presentiamo qui innovative giunzioni a X completamente integrate realizzate utilizzando guide d'onda solitoniche in grado di fornire entrambi i processi decisionali delle formiche. Le giunzioni a X proposte possono passare da comportamenti simmetrici (50/50) ad asimmetrici (80/20) utilizzando feedback ottici, cancellando i canali di uscita inutilizzati o rinforzando quelli usati.Ethology has shown that animal groups or colonies can perform complex calculation distributing simple decision-making processes to the group members. For example ant colonies can optimize the trajectories towards the food by performing both a reinforcement (or a cancellation) of the pheromone traces and a switch from one path to another with stronger pheromone. Such ant's processes can be implemented in a photonic hardware to reproduce stigmergic signal processing. We present innovative, completely integrated X-junctions realized using solitonic waveguides which can provide both ant's decision-making processes. The proposed X-junctions can switch from symmetric (50/50) to asymmetric behaviors (80/20) using optical feedbacks, vanishing unused output channels or reinforcing the used ones

Radiation risks from high-let alpha particle emitters using radium-223 as a model

This thesis was submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel University London[223Ra]RaCl2 was recently approved for the treatment of bone metastatic disease in prostate cancer patients. Once intravenously administered 223Ra localises to areas of increased calcium turnover. During its decay, 223Ra will emit high linear energy transfer (LET) α-particles that are effective in targeting metastatic sites. α-particles have a range of ≤ 100 μm suggesting normal tissue sparing; however, there is uncertainty regarding the heterogeneous distribution of dose at the cellular/tissue levels. It remains unclear if 223Ra may also result in unwanted exposure of neighbouring bone marrow (BM) cells. To date, the potential risk of BM exposure as a consequence of this treatment remains unquantified. The aim of this project was to resolve these uncertainties by assessing changes in the genomic structure of peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBLs) potentially in contact with 223Ra. To do so, blood samples from patients enrolled on to the ADRRAD clinical trial were collected. The treatment included 6 intravenous injections of [223Ra]RaCl2 each administered 4 weeks apart (55 kbq/kg) and 2 Gy fractionated IMRT (daily for 5 days a week over 7.5 weeks). Blood samples were collected prior to each 223Ra administration and PBL cultured to 1st in vitro division. The PBLs were assayed by Multiplex-fluorescent-in-situ-hybridization (M-FISH) and Giemsa solid stain for cytogenetic analysis. In this study we demonstrated that chromosomal aberration complexity reflects the treatment regime. This indicates PBLs were exposed to α-particle by 223Ra. The change in chromosomal spectrum was used to create a novel method for absorbed blood dose estimation and this was compared to existing physical models. The persistence and transmissibility of aberrations was evaluated with chromatid aberrations consistent with delayed effects observed in follow up samples. A lower administered activity of 223Ra was suggested to be as effective as larger administer activities, this indicates that the dosing strategy may need re-evaluating

Central projections of the stretch receptor neurons of crayfish: structure, variation, and postembryonic growth

Journal ArticleEach stretch receptor neuron (SR) of the crayfish abdomen projects from its peripherally located soma an axon that enters the CNS through the second nerve (N2) of its segmental ganglion. CoZ+ backfills of N2 revealed that this axon bifurcates, sending one branch to the brain and the other to the terminal abdominal ganglion

Developmental expression and biochemical analysis of Conulin, a protein secreted from a subset of neuronal growth cones

Journal ArticleIn this report, we analyze the developmental pattern of expression of a new grasshopper protein, Conulin, using the monoclonal antibody 7D2 on whole-mount embryos and dissociated neurons. We also have examined its biochemical properties by immunoblot analysis. Conulin is a protein expressed by a subset of neurons in the grasshopper embryo
