Excerpts from Television's Greatest Hits and Other Stories
<p>The short stories contained in this manuscript are mostly of the realist stripe, with a few concessions made to my more fabulist tendencies. Each is about men and women being forced to relive their old lives or finding themselves at the cusp of new ones, propositions which prove simultaneously …

Your gaze hits the side of my face
Prior to writing this play I wrote very definitely from my own private experience and the worlds that I sought to represent were in the personal and private sphere. I did not seek to make any wider political point and my writing could easily have been reduced to what Aleks Sierz refers to as “me …

Effectiveness of grips at minimizing vibrations during field hockey hits
… on the stick during two different field hockey hits, the push and the strike. The results from these experiments showed that the top hand during a hit experiences a higher resonant frequency. During the push the top hand experienced an average resonant frequency of 349.1 Hz, compared to the …

Characterizing non-coding hits in genome-wide association studies using epigenetic data
Understanding the molecular basis of human disease is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and recent explosion in genetic and genomic datasets are finally putting it within reach. In the last ten years, genome-wide association studies have identified thousands of genetic variants associated …

Protein-ligand interaction studies and identification of new drug-like hits as cannabinoid receptor modulators
<p>The cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) belong to the family of class A GPCRs. The CB1 receptor is predominately found in the central nervous system and regulates various neuromodulatory and physiological processes while CB2 receptors are found in peripheral tissues, particularly in the immune …

Giraffes, Ferris Wheels and Royal Reenactments: Hits and Misses in the Reinvention of a Joseon Palace
Tourist sites, like national identities, are selectively promoted depictions often made from highly contested perspectives. A site is a self-perpetuating scene created by host and visitors swapping the same images. Olivia Jenkins has described spiraling circles of representation linked to …

When Cancer Hits Home: Providing a theoretical foundation for defining self-disclosure of personal cancer coping experience in oncology social workers’ helping relationships
… someone who has cancer. As cancer increasingly “hits home”, oncology social workers in such situations are also acquiring potentially valuable personal cancer coping experience. This theoretical dissertation explored how personal experiences with cancer (as patient or caregiver) influence …

The Retrieval Processes That Underlie Remembering and Knowing in Recognition Memory
… (associative interference) decreased Remember hits and increased Know hits. In Experiment 4, cueing a test probe with similar items (part-set cueing) decreased Remember hits and increased Know hits. In Experiment 5, cued-recall of items belonging to a semantic category (retrieval practice) …

Monte Carlo event reconstruction implemented with artificial neural networks
… registers the passage of particles as 'hits' in the detector elements, which can be used to determine event parameters such as momentum and direction. However, these hits are often obscured by noise. Using Geant4 and ROOT, I wrote a program that uses artificial neural networks to …

Critisearch for Scholarly Search
… interfaces do not permit users to manipulate the hits on a search engine result page (SERP). This leads to the user adapting his/her own search style to suit the search engine instead of being the other way round. We present Critisearch, an online search interface that allows users to manipulate …

Alcohol, task difficulty, and incentives in drill press operation
… rewards. The subject's response was measured by hits and misses. A Hit was defined as placing the metal drill probe in either of two holes in the top metal plate of the workpiece without touching the plate. A miss was defined as a contact of the probe with the top plate. Except for the effect of …

Genome-Wide Decoding of mRNP and miRNA Maps
… isolated by crosslinking immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP). HITS-CLIP analysis of the neuron-specific splicing factor Nova provides genome-wide maps of Nova-RNA interactions in vivo and leads to a new finding that Nova may regulate the processesing of some miRNAs. Furthermore, HITS-CLIP analysis …
