Speciesism, identity politics and ecocriticism : a conversation with humanists and posthumanists
An electronic conversation between 7 scholars from the fields of animal studies and early modern studies aimed at confronting "speciesism," and constructing what Cary Wolfe calls a "posthumanist theory of the subject.
Peter—apocalyptic seer: the influence of the apocalypse genre on Matthew’s portrayal of Peter
This study fills a gap in previous research concerning the portrayal of Peter in
Matthew, especially the research of narrative-critical studies. Although narrative-critical
studies generally recognize that Matthew has portrayed Peter and the disciples
as recipients of revelation at points, they almost entirely neglect the apocalypses or
apocalyptic literature more broadly as a potentially helpful background for this motif,
nor does the motif itself figure significantly into their conclusions. Therefore, Part 1
of this study examines fourteen different Jewish and Christian apocalypses in order to
determine generic aspects of how the apocalypses portray their seers, and to identify
specific textual features that support these generic aspects of a seer’s portrayal. These
specific textual features then provide the guiding coordinates for Part 2, which
assesses the influence of the generic portrayal of apocalyptic seers on the portrayal of
Peter and the disciples in Matthew’s Gospel and main source, Mark’s Gospel. Like
the apocalypses, both Evangelists deploy the features of exclusionary statements,
narrative isolation, dissemination details, and emphasis of cognitive humanity and
emotional-physical humanity to portray Peter and the disciples as the exclusive
recipients of revealed mysteries, and as humans who encounter the mysteries of the
divine realm. This leads to the conclusion that both Evangelists envisaged Peter and
the disciples as apocalyptic seers in some sense. However, Matthew’s redaction of
Markan source material, incorporation of Q source material, and his own special
material yield a more fully developed, or more explicit, portrayal of Peter and the
disciples as apocalyptic seers than his Markan predecessor. The study concludes by
focusing directly on Peter’s significance for Matthew and his earliest audience. The
research suggests that Peter’s significance was, in part, as principal apocalyptic seer,
which requires revision to the predominant scholarly conclusions about Peter in
Matthew
Explorations With Fixed-Role Therapy
Here then, are the first studies of the effectiveness of fixed role therapy. We hope that making these available, in their original unedited form, to the wider scientific community will fill a gap in the historical record and stimulate further work on this important technique on Kelly\u27s approach to human adaptation.https://scholars.fhsu.edu/fort_hays_studies_series/1047/thumbnail.jp
The Handbook of Clinic Practice
The Handbook of Clinic Practice is a major surviving document that shows Dr. Kelly\u27s early development as a clinician. The Handbook began as a guide for bachelor and master level students working in the Clinc. This was a major teaching tool for Dr. Kelly during his years at Fort Hays Kansas State College. It represents his early position regarding behavior in a clinical setting, and also provides a glimpse of the immense variety and scope of Dr. Kelly\u27s talents.https://scholars.fhsu.edu/fort_hays_studies_series/1048/thumbnail.jp
The future of NMR-based metabolomics
The two leading analytical approaches to metabolomics are mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Although currently overshadowed by MS in terms of numbers of compounds resolved, NMR spectroscopy offers advantages both on its own and coupled with MS. NMR data are highly reproducible and quantitative over a wide dynamic range and are unmatched for determining structures of unknowns. NMR is adept at tracing metabolic pathways and fluxes using isotope labels. Moreover, NMR is non-destructive and can be utilized in vivo. NMR results have a proven track record of translating in vitro findings to in vivo clinical applications
Unique opportunities for NMR methods in structural genomics
This Perspective, arising from a workshop held in July 2008 in Buffalo NY, provides an overview of the role NMR has played in the United States Protein Structure Initiative (PSI), and a vision of how NMR will contribute to the forthcoming PSI-Biology program. NMR has contributed in key ways to structure production by the PSI, and new methods have been developed which are impacting the broader protein NMR community

DNP Enhanced Frequency-Selective TEDOR Experiments in Bacteriorhodopsin
We describe a new approach to multiple [superscript 13]C–[superscript 15]N distance measurements in uniformly labeled solids, frequency-selective (FS) TEDOR. The method shares features with FS-REDOR and ZF- and BASE-TEDOR, which also provide quantitative [superscript 15]N–[superscript 13]C spectral assignments and distance measurements in U-[[superscript 13]C,[superscript 15]N] samples. To demonstrate the validity of the FS-TEDOR sequence, we measured distances in [U-[superscript 13]C,15N]-asparagine which are in good agreement with other methods. In addition, we integrate high frequency dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) into the experimental protocol and use FS-TEDOR to record a resolved correlation spectrum of the Arg-[superscript 13]Cγ–[superscript 15]Nε region in [U-[superscript 13]C,15N]-bacteriorhodopsin. We resolve six of the seven cross-peaks expected based on the primary sequence of this membrane protein.National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (U.S.) (Grant Number EB-001960)National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (U.S.) (Grant Number EB-002804)National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (U.S.) (Grant Number EB-001035)National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (U.S.) (Grant Number EB-002026
