This article uses Jacques Lacan’s reading of the Freudian fort-dagame to analyze that most American of cultural constructs, the cowboy, at the time of that figure’s fading from theAmerican landscape: the immediate postwar years. With John Grady Cole, the protagonist of All the Pretty Horses (1992), Cormac McCarthy provides a suitably situated subject for this criticalendeavor, one whose...

As a key discursive nodal point of abnormal personhood, the homosexual has been featured in anextensive stream of Hollywood movies from the early 1940s onwards. More specifically, since theend of the 1960s, a series of mainstream U.S. films have come out about queer fraudsters.Impostors assume an inauthentic identity or character, pretending to be someone else than they“really” ...

approach which collates material that would otherwise be scattered into a variety of general, gastroenterology, and psychology journals. Journalistic editors might also have been less tolerant of the text's prosaic expressions, by no means limited to the "short lived segments of deathless prose" with which each small section is introduced. However, for this reader, far from detracting from the ...

Inspired both by the Black Arts Movement and the postmodern revolt against it, Parks hasconcentrated on crafting provocative plays that represent and emphasize the concerns andquest/ion of identities for African Americans. In the present essay, I argue that Parks isinterested in questioning the former constructed racial boundaries of blackness andrevolutionary ideologies of the ...

Fluid mixing assumes an important role in various processing industries, in which the chemical efficiencies of typical processing operations carried out are intrinsically related to their hydrodynamic performance. In order to achieve high product qualities in steelmaking, submerged gas injection in ladles has now become a widely accepted industrial practice in almost every steelmaking shop. The...

Due to the high homology between the LAGE-1 and NY-ESO-1 proteins, we hypothesized that an anti-NY-ESO-1 vaccine might elicit LAGE-1 immunity and hence may be effective in multiple myeloma (MM) patients with LAGE-1-positive/NY-ESO-1-negative tumors. Therefore, we set out to evaluate LAGE-1 and NY-ESO-1 mRNA and protein expression in MM patients in a bid to evaluate possible benefits of their ho...

In this paper we outline the Adaptive Resource Allocation Protocol (ARAP) as an improved resource synchronization algorithm for hierarchically scheduled real-time systems. ARAP exploits knowledge about task utilization, using a proportionalintegral-derivative (PID) controller, to estimate required resource bandwidth and improve scheduling decisions. Our analysis and experiments with RTSIM show ...

This article introduces the system concept, specifications, and some measurement results for the Advanced Wireless IP Access System (Advanced WIPAS) compatible with fiber to the home (FTTH), for which a prototype was developed in March 20 0 (IP: Internet protocol). A wireless terminal prototype aimed at commercial use has been completed. Advanced WIPAS is a fixed wireless access system that can...
