This article examines the poetic contribution of Valerie Gillies, Edinburgh Makar (or poet of the city) from 2005-2008, to the Edinburgh Marie Curie Hospice Quiet Room, a new contemplation space for patients, families, and staff. In collaboration with others, Gillies created a transitional space for the Quiet Room, centered on the display of her sonnet, "A Place Apart." This space functions to ...

Original scientific paper Radio frequency identification (RFID) is one of the most rapidly growing technologies to be utilized in almost every sector for storing and retrieving data wirelessly. Current advancements in CMOS technology help the scientists and technologists to reduce the size and improve the functionalities of the RFID circuits. In this paper, the design of an RF-CMOS power splitt...

To better support the creation of narrative-centered tools, developers need a flexible framework to integrate, catalog, select, and reuse narrative models. Computational models of narrative enable the creation of software tools to aid narrative processing, analysis, and generation. Narrativecentered tools explicitly or implicitly embody one or more models of narrative by their definition. Howev...

has been approved by the Examining Committee for the thesis requirement for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Translational Biomedicine at the May 2014 graduation. To Becca, Jonah & Cora. Teachers in my most important fields; husband and father. ii A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts,...

while the «classical insecticides» (ddt: dieldrin, malathion, etc.) mainly affect the adult stage of insects, dimilin belongs to a new group of insecticidal compounds that kills the insect in its larval stages, but has no lethal affect on the adult insect. its empirical formula is c14h9h2~f2cl. diflubenzuron is proposed as common name for the trade name dimilin. studies were made on c. pipiens,...

In pursuit of an alternative perspective on the so-called ‘statues controversy’, this essay brings recent interpretations enduring ‘power’, ‘gaze’ and ‘magic’ statues into alignment with critical histories iconoclasm, sacred secular, New Materialist accounts our multiple entanglements object inherited monuments. Opening a close reading Percy Bysshe Shelley's renowned 1818 sonnet, ‘Ozymandias’, ...

This essay argues that attending to the bibliographic codes of early and multiple versions can enhance our understandings material forms texts in ways George Bornstein modeled Material Modernism. Focusing on modernist women’s complex engagements with print cultures, analyzes pages from Willa Cather’s novel The Professor’s House, Zora Neale Hurston’s short story “Sweat”, Gwendolyn Brooks’s sonne...

Inductive power transfer is the most common method for transferring power to implantable sensors inside human body. For good inductive coupling, the inductors should have high inductance and high quality factor. But the physical dimension of the receiver inductor cannot be large due to biomedical constraints. Therefore, there is a need for small size and high inductance, high quality factor ind...

Wideband 100 kHz–4 GHz power sensors are presented, which are based on sensing the electrostatic force between an RF signal line and a suspended membrane. The electrostatic force, which is proportional to the square of the rms signal voltage and thus to the signal power, results in a displacement of the suspended membrane. This displacement is detected capacitively, allowing the sensing of the ...
