Augustan poets refer curiously often to the possible composition of a Gigantomachy, as in Prop. 2.1 and 3.9, Ov. Am. 2.1.11 ff., Trist. 2.61 ff. and 331 ff., and the future study of natural philosophy, as in Verg. Georg. 2.475 ff. and Prop. 3.5.25 ff. These ambitions are rejected, abandoned, or firmly set in the future. I suggest that the function of both is closely similar since they provide traditionally sublime themes to contrast the poet's present ‘humbler’’ task.

Incidence of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack in young adults is rising. However, etiology remains unknown in 30–40% of these patients when current classification systems designed for the elderly are used. Our aim was to identify risk factors according to a pediatric approach, which might lead to both better identification of risk factors and provide a stepping stone for the understanding of disease mechanism, particularly in patients currently classified as “unknown etiology”. Risk factors of 656 young stroke patients (aged 18–50) of the FUTURE study were categorized according to the “International Pediatric Stroke Study” (IPSS), with stratification on gender, age and stroke of “unknown etiology”. Categorization of risk factors into ≥1 IPSS category was possible in 94% of young stroke patients. Chronic systemic conditions were more present in patients aged <35 compared to patients ≥35 (32.6% vs. 15.6%, p < 0.05). Among 226 patients classified as “stroke of unknown etiology” using TOAST, we found risk factors in 199 patients (88%) with the IPSS approach. We identified multiple risk factors linked to other mechanisms of stroke in the young than in the elderly . This can be a valuable starting point to develop an etiologic classification system specifically designed for young stroke patients.

This paper analyzes industrial design from the perspective of intuition. The first part is about the characteristics and advantages of intuition. The second part especially explains the application of intuition in industrial design nowadays, taking IDEO design company of USA and Japanese Fukazawa Naohito design company as examples. The last part discusses the future study directions of intuition.

The chapter asks how the insights generated here can make a more general contribution to the future study of everyday security practices of marginalized groups. It emphasizes the importance of taking into account the factors of space and time when analyzing security. In particular, it supports calls to analyze security practices beyond the limiting framework of the 'nation-state'. A stronger focus on individual future-making activities may very much enrich security-related research. Moreover, the chapter asks to what extent the findings collected in this volume may similarly apply to marginalized – and often violently repressed – people in other parts of Central Asia.

A new species of the eusirid amphipod, Rhachotropis reiwa is described from off Amamioshima Island, northwestern Pacific. The new species differs from its congeners in having large eyes, the middorsal tooth on pereonite 7, pleonite 3 and urosomite 1 without middorsal and dorsolateral teeth, the basis of pereopod 5 strongly produced posteriorly, and pereopod 6 with the triangular basis. A key to the species of Rhachotropis from Japanese and adjacent waters is provided. Additionally, a nucleotide sequence of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I from its holotype was determined for the future study.

Studies using person‐related variables to predict the nature of coping responses have had only limited success. However, besides often using measures of unknown reliability, such studies have not recognized that consistency or variability of response may itself be dispositional. Current analyses of archival, community‐based data selected only psychometrically sound indices and segregated consistent from flexible copers. Demographic predictors were found to have considerably greater explanatory power within the consistent groups, those variables tapping informational or material resources proving particularly germane to the choice between instrumental and avoidant strategies. These results suggest that person‐related influences on coping may currently be underestimated; implications for the future study of such influences are discussed.

Basic assumptions and inferences underlying hearing aid evaluation procedures are discussed. A model of hearing aid e valuation incorporating these assumptions and inferences is presented. Problems associated with obtaining valid electroacoustical measurements of hearing aids as well as valid psychoacoustic measurements, aided and unaided, are discussed. Implications for the future study of aided listening are included.

In the marketing, there are some correlated between two complement materials when predicting the duration of manufacturing process. Two different kinds of materials are complementary if using more of one material requires the use of more of another. Thus, based on this view of point, when we estimate the production demand quantity, we can’t consider these two durations of manufacturing process as dependent. In this paper we propose the bivariate exponential distribution to model two related manufacturing durations of two complement materials. Finally, we demonstrate both MLE and moment methods to estimate the parameters of our model. This can provide the reference for the future study to choice a suitable estimation.

Three new sponge species in the demosponge families Chalinidae Gray and Suberitidae Schmidt are described from the Calypso hydrothermal vent field in the Bay of Plenty, and one species from seep sites along the Hikurangi Margin, to the east of the North Island, New Zealand. The Calypso hydrothermal vent field is dominated by the chalinid sponge Haliclona (Soestella) battershilli sp. nov., a large, cream-coloured, finely branched species, and the less common H. (Halichoclona) sonnae sp. nov., an encrusting, translucent white, cushion-shaped species. The third species, the suberitid sponge Protosuberites novaezelandiae sp. nov., forms encrustations with digitate projections. Haliclona (Halichoclona) sonnae sp. nov. and Protosuberites novaezelandiae sp. nov. represent new subgenus and genus records, respectively, for New Zealand waters. The methanotrophic suberitid sponge, Pseudosuberites thurberi sp. nov., is found at many of the cold seep sites on the Hikurangi Margin where it forms extensive, encrusting to digitate mats. The description of these species provides a basis for the future study of the ecology of sponges that are apparently endemic to vent and seep habitats off New Zealand.
