Documents of Performance : the Assignments Book of the Britannia Theatre, Hoxton

Documentary evidence about the financial terms under which nineteenth-century dramatists produced their work is generally available only in piecemeal records that have survived by happenstance. This volume of agreements is therefore significant as it charts more than six hundred agreements made between individual playwrights and the management of one East End theatre, the Britannia, over a period of forty years. The article not only explains its provenance and the nature of the transactions contained within it, but also indicates how supplementary annotations in the Assignments Book reveal how it functioned as a working document.Peer reviewe

Investigations into Aldefluor as a Novel Method for Identifying Leukemia in Soft-Shell Clams

The clam species Mya arenaria is a common model organism in leukemia research. The current method for classifying the degree of cancer progression is by examining cell morphology with light microscopy. This approach is highly qualitative, which makes differentiation of pre-leukemic and semi-leukemic individuals difficult. One quantitative approach that may differentiate individuals is based on levels of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) expression. The enzyme assay ALDEFLUOR® can actively measure ALDH expression in viable cells, but the effectiveness of certain protocol conditions is dependent upon the cell type

Aggressive Encounters & White Fragility: Deconstructing the Trope of the Angry Black Woman

Black women in the United States are the frequent targets of bias-filled interactions in which aggressors: (1) denigrate Black women; and (2) blame those women who elect to challenge the aggressor’s acts and the bias that fuels them. This Article seeks to raise awareness of these “aggressive encounters” and to challenge a prevailing narrative about Black women and anger. It examines the myriad circumstances (both professional and social) in which aggressive encounters occur and the ways in which these encounters expose gender and racial hierarchies. It then explores how the intersectional nature of Black women’s identities triggers a particularized stereotype or trope of the “Angry Black Woman” and explains how this trope is often invoked in aggressive encounters to deflect attention from the aggressor and to project blame onto the target. After discussing the harmful effects of aggressive encounters and the absence of effective legal mechanisms to address them, the Article sets forth tangible steps that individuals can take to minimize their incidence

Self Management Intervention for Disruptive Behaviors of Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder using The Amazing 5 Point Scale

This is a mixed method, single study research project. It follows a Middle school student with Autism Spectrum Disorder and behavioral disruptions in school as he learns to utilize The Amazing 5 Point Scale as a self management tool. The data tracked severity, frequency and duration of behaviors for trends as the student learns to utilize The Amazing 5 Point Scale as a self management intervention. By factoring in an adjustment period to learning the new Self management tool, a more distinct change in behavior level frequency, duration, and severity could be seen. Data from the first half of the study was compared to data from the second half of the study to correlate with a decrease in need for verbal and visual cues to guide the student in use of their five point scale. This decrease in need for cues, signifies that the student was utilizing the self management tool more independently
