The Role of the Intellectual in Contemporary Turkish Women's Narratives

In her article Role of the Intellectual in Contemporary Turkish Women's Narratives Adile Aslan analyzes the figure of the woman intellectual in two of the most widely praised novels written in Turkish, Adalet A!ao!lu's 1971 Olmeye Yatmak (Lying Down to Die) and Leyla Erbil's 1985 Karanli!in Gunu (The Day of Darkness). Aslan discusses how the two authors represent in their texts intertwined personal histories with political history. The novels present, as well as surmount the obstacles that the current socio-historical conditions impose on people in general and intellectuals in particular and how these circumstances have a bearing on their private and public lives.

Alkanethiol Adsorption on Platinum: Chain Length Effects on the Quality of Self-Assembled Monolayers

The adsorption of butanethiol (BT), hexanethiol (HT), and dodecanethiol (DT) on Pt from ethanolic solutions has been studied by electrochemical techniques, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. XPS data show two main S 2p components at 162.3 and 163.4 eV. The barrier properties estimated by double-layer capacitance and the blockage of the electron transfer from a redox couple in solution are markedly improved for self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of the longer DT molecule. While the behavior of DT monolayers on Pt is comparable to that found for those grown on Au, HT and BT SAMs on Pt are more defective, are less blocking, and have a slightly lower thiolate coverage than their Au counterparts. The chain length dependent quality of these SAMs is explained based on DFT and thermodynamics calculations. It is demonstrated that a lying down (LD) surface structure dominates the stability diagram for the shorter chain thiols, while the standing up (SU) phase is more important for DT. We propose that the poor quality observed for SAMs of short chain thiolates results from an easier C–S bond scission of the thioalkyl radical in a LD configuration.

On the Thermodynamic Stability of α,ω-Alkanedithiols Self-Assembled Monolayers on Unreconstructed and Reconstructed Au(111)

A comparative study on the thermodynamic stability of the lying down (LD) and standing up (SU) phases of alpha,omega-butanedithiol (BDT) on unreconstructed (U) and on reconstructed (R) Au(111) surfaces is presented. The R surface is made of dithiol-Au adatom units. Density functional calculations (DFT) allow the estimation of the adsorption energy of the LD and SU BDT phases on both substrates. Surface free energies based on the DFT calculations show the coverage of the clean Au(111) surface by the LD phase, and the LD to SU phase transition as the chemical potential of the BDT molecule is increased. The LD and SU phases are more stable on R than on U substrates, suggesting that the Au(111) surface should reconstruct upon BDT adsorption. The stability analysis is extended to longer alpha,omega-dithiols. Results reveal that the LD to SU phase transition is favored as the hydrocarbon chain length of the dithiol molecule is increased. Changes in the hydrogen pressure affect the formation of the LD phase, while they have only minor effects on the LD to SU phase transitions. Our calculations explain the influence of the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chains, hydrogen pressure and dithiol pressure (or concentration) on dithiol adsorption, and phase transitions. This information is relevant to control the coverage, reactivity, and surface chemistry of the alpha,omega-dithiol self-assembled monolayers on Au surfaces.

Speaking of Law and Religion: Why Law, Why Religion?—A Conversation Between a Lawyer and a Theologian

On October 23-25, 2009, the Journal of Law and Religion celebrated its twenty-fifth year of publication devoted to “Speaking about Law and Religion” with a Symposium that brought a diverse group of scholars. A highlight of that Symposium was a celebratory luncheon held on October 24 that featured a conversation about law and religion between Douglas Sturm, Professor Emeritus, Becknell University, and Milner Ball, Professor Emeritus, University of Georgia School of Law. These two scholars, one a theologian who takes law seriously in his work, and one a lawyer who takes theology seriously in his work, have inspired many to enter the conversation about the intersection of law and religion to which each of them have made so many contributions over the years.Among Milner Ball's many contributions is the inspiration he provides to many who, like him, seek to explore a new vision of law as an enterprise that can nurture the life of all in the world we share, and the courage he displays by drawing on theology for this task. He demonstrated this many years ago by posing a provocative question to a critic of his work who said, “she did not want or expect theology” in reading a draft of his book Lying Down Together: Law, Metaphor, and Theology. Milner's response was “if not theology, then what?” Since then he has continued to offer his own contributions that take this question seriously at the very heart of his work. Two notable examples, The Word and the Law (University of Chicago Press 1993), and Called by Stories: Biblical Sagas and their Challenge for Law (Duke University Press 2000).

한우 어미소와 송아지의 행동 특성

한우 어미소(24개월령)와 송아지(1 개월령)를 대상으로 6일 동안 07:00시부터 18:00시까지 42가지의 세부 행동을 관찰 분석하였다. 42가지의 세부 행동 중에서 서 있는 자세(ST), 걸어다니는 동작(WA), 가슴을 대고 누워 있는 자세(LD), 옆으로 누워있는 자세(LF), 놓여있는 여물 또는 사료를 먹는 동작(EA), 냄새를 맡는 동작(SF), 서서 자신을 핥는 동작(EA), 냄새를 맡는 동작(SF), 서서 자신을 핥는 동작(SG), 새끼나 상대방을 핥아주는 동작(PG), 몸을 비비는 동작(RB), 물을 마시는 동작(DR), 서서 반추행동을 하고 있는 동작(SR), 가슴을 대고 누어서 반추 행동을 하고 있는 동작(LR), 서서 꼬리를 흔드는 동작(STW), 서서 반추 행동을 하며 동시에 꼬리를 흔드는 동작(SRW), 젖을 빠는 동작(SUK), 그리고 새끼나 다른 소에 볼을 대는 동작(CR)과 같은 16가지의 행동을 주로 나타내었다. 즉, 유지행동, 사회행동, 섭식행동을 주로 나타내었다. 어미소는 LD가 25%로 가장 높은 빈도를 보였고, 다음으로 ST가 23%, EA가 13%, LR이 10%, SR이 7%, SG와 RB가 4%, 그리고 PG와 SF가 3%의 빈도를 보였다. 송아지는 LD가 52%로 가장 높은 빈도를 보였다. 송아지는 LD가 52%로 가장 높은 빈도를 보였고, 다음으로 ST가 28%, LF가 4%, EA와 WA가 3%, 그리고 SF와 SUK가 2%의 빈도를 보였으며, 그 외의 행동들은 1% 미만이었다. 그리고 주요 시간대인 07:00시, 12:00시, 18:00시에 어미소와 송아지의 행동 양상을 살펴보았는데, 어미소와 송아지 모두가 시간대별로 다른 행동 양상을 나타내었다. 향후 계절 및 우사 등에 따른 행동 양식 차이에 대한 심도 깊은 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다. This study was performed to investigate the behavioral characteristics of Hanwoo(Bos taurus coreanae) cows and their calves. Four cows and their calves were placed in pens. The behaviors of each cow and calf were recorded using a time lapse VCR from 07:00 h to 18:00 h for 6 days and were analyzed using the scan point sampling method. The cow's behaviors in order of frequency were LD(lying down, 25%), ST(standing, 23%), EA(eating, 13%), LR(lying down rumination, 10%) and SR(standing rumination, 7%). The cows spent less than 3% of their time PG(pairwise grooming) and SF(snifting). The calves mainly showed LD(52%), ST(28%), LF (lying flat, 4%), EA(3%) and WA(walking, 3%). The calves spent less than 2% of their time SF(sniffing) and SUK(suckling), The behavioral patterns of cows and their calves at 07:00 h, 12:00 h and 18:00 h were different, especially in ST and LD.

Normal and more highly reactive horses. I. Heart rate, respiration rate and behavioral observations

Thirty-two Quarter horse yearlings were utilized in a split-plot experiment to establish behavioral tendencies for two levels of emotionality; normal and a more highly reactive level of emotionality termed nervous. Four observers who were experienced with horses scored the yearlings on an emotionality scale from 1 to 4, with 1 representing the highly nervous yearlings and 4 representing the quiet yearlings. Emotionality evaluations were based upon the response of the yearlings to a standard regimen of standing in a chute, being identified and being released from the chute. The inter-rater reliability coefficients were 0.90 for the normal yearlings and 0.65 for the nervous yearlings, indicating that the raters agreed less when evaluating the nervous yearlings. Yearling heart rates in the chute were correlated ( r = −0.54, P<0.002) with the average emotionality score. Observational data on behavior collected 2 days following the emotionality scoring procedure indicated that the normal yearlings maintained a greater ( P<0.001) individual distance than the nervous yearlings. From an activity summary, the normal yearlings spent 10.9% of the time lying down (LD), 79.1% standing (S), 9.6% walking or trotting (WT) and 0.4% of the time cantering or galloping (CG). The nervous yearlings spent 5.7% of the observational periods LD, 79.2% S, 11.7% WT and 3.4% CG. The nervous yearlings tended to have a higher overall activity index level than did the normal yearlings. Results indicate horses of different emotionality levels exhibited different behavioral patterns.
