Koreografi site-specific merupakan sebuah persembahan tari yang dipersembahkan di sebuah lokasi khusus yang menjadi sumber inspirasi dalam proses berkarya dan ia dijadikan sebagai lokasi persembahan. Menurut Hunter (2015), koreografi site-specific merupakan sebuah koreografi yang dipengaruhi oleh respons daripada koreografer terhadap ruang yang terdapat di lokasi khusus. Sebuah site atau lokasi khusus mempunyai bentuk dan saiz ruang yang berbeza serta elemen memorinya yang tersendiri. Bentuk dan saiz ruang yang terdapat pada lokasi dapat mempengaruhi sebuah koreografi. Bagi elemen memori, setiap lokasi mempunyai latar belakang, sejarah, perkembangan serta kehidupan aktiviti sosial di persekitarannya. Kajian ini membincangkan tentang penggunaan ruang dan memori dalam proses koreografi City of Entertainment oleh Lee Ren Xin yang dipersembahkan pada program Dancing in Place 2018 sempena festival Urbanscape KL. Kaedah pemerhatian dan temu bual bersama koreografer diaplikasikan bagi mendapatkan informasi tentang proses koreografi site-specific. Kajian ini dapat membantu koreografer menambah ilmu dalam bidang koreografi yang menjurus kepada koreografi site-specific serta perkembangan idea dalam proses kreatif. Ia turut menyumbang kepada pemahaman, pengetahuan serta tafsiran tentang pengertian istilah koreografi site-specific.Site-specific choreography is a dance performance that is performed at a specific location where the location gives inspiration in the choreography process and it is used as performance spaces. According to Hunter (2015), site-specific choreography is a dance choreography, which is influenced and responded by the choreographer to a specific location. A specific site or location has different shapes and sizes of space and it has its own memory elements. The shape and size of the space found at the site will affect the choreography process. In site-specific dance choreography, the memory is associated with the history, background, social activities and life in that specific location. This study discusses the use of space and memory in Lee Ren Xin site-specific choreography, which is City of Entertainment that has been presented at the Dancing in Place 2018 program in conjunction with the Urbanscape KL festival. Observation and interview with the choreographer applied to get information about the choreography process. This study helps choreographers enhancethe knowledge in the choreography as well as the development of ideas in the creative process. It also contributes to the understanding, knowledge and interpretation of the terms of the site-specific choreography.

In this article, Victoria Hunter explores the concept of the ‘here and now’ in the creation of site-specific dance performance, in response to Doreen Massey's questioning of the fixity of the concept of the ‘here and now’ during the recent RESCEN seminar on ‘Making Space’, in which she challenged the concept of a singular fixed ‘present’, suggesting instead that we exist in a constant production of ‘here and nows’ akin to ‘being in the moment’. Here the concept is applied to an analysis of the author's recent performance work created as part of a PhD investigation into the relationship between the site and the creative process in site-specific dance performance. In this context the notion of the ‘here and now’ is discussed in relation to the concept of dance embodiment informed by the site and the genius loci, or ‘spirit of place’. Victoria Hunter is a Lecturer in Dance at the University of Leeds, who is currently researching a PhD in site-specific dance performance.

The Relationship

In this article Victoria Hunter considers notions of spatial translation, ‘present-ness’, and ‘embodied reflexivity’ within site-specific dance performance. Through a discussion of the author's site-specific dance installation entitled Project 3, she explores choreographic processes that aimed to facilitate, transform, and heighten the lived experience of site by the performer and the audience through phenomenologically informed movement inquiry. Forming part of the author's practice-led PhD investigation into the relationship between the site and the creative process, the performance was the third in a trilogy of site-specific works exploring the potential for site-specific dance performance to ‘reveal’ the site through movement, challenging both performers and audience members to engage with new ways of experiencing the site-world. Victoria Hunter is a practitioner-researcher and lecturer in dance at the University of Leeds. Her research is practice-led and is concerned with the nature of dance-making processes within site-specific choreography. She completed her PhD in site-specific dance performance in December 2009.

A new diagnosis of Denisiella is provided, based on the revision of most descriptions, including three new species from Brazil. New Brazilian taxa share the presence of 6 + 6 eyes, 4 + 4 serrate spine-like on tibiotarsi III and the polycarinate setae on tibiotarsi II but differ from each other by the shape and size of the sensilla of the tibiotarsi I. Denisiella rhizophorae sp. nov. has the combination of sensilla on tibiotarsi I of rhagidial type and C2 blunt on antennal segment III. Only D. betschi sp. nov. has barbulate spines on head and D. caatingae sp. nov. is the only which males present nasal organ. They are illustrated with drawings and scanning electron microscope photographs. Three different shapes of sensilla in the tibiotarsi I were observed and were compared with other species.

Currently, transgenic maize is produced by random integration of a transgenes into the plant. This works for single genes, but not as well for multiple traits. Identifying plants that contain several transgenes becomes a very difficult task. Gene stacking at a single location in the genome would make combining multiple transgenes into plants a simpler process. This project focused on the development of a system would allow for transgenes to be sequentially added to a specific site in the maize genome. The system utilizes two recombinases, Cre recombinase and _C31 Integrase, to remove a selectable marker and to integrate transgenes. An initial construct containing a selectable marker, flanked by LoxP sites, which are acted upon by Cre recombinase, and an attP site, were transformed. The selectable marker was then removed from the integrated transgene by exposure to Cre recombinase. Two amendment constructs enable modification of the integrated construct by utilizing complementary attP and attB sites, which are acted upon by _C31 Integrase. The amendment constructs contain cargo and a promoterless selectable marker which, upon successful recombination with the target site, restores expression of the selectable marker. Successful demonstration of this system simplifies generation of multi-transgene plants, and the assembly of multi-gene pathways in plants.

Specific models for the rational design of pit latrines of different shapes and sizes are presently non-existent. What exist are general design models irrespective of the shape and size of latrine which may not give the actual design parameters needed. This research was limited to the derivation of models that will aid the design of the capacity of pit latrines of different shapes and dimensions for different population of users and under different soil formations and ground conditions. The objective of this research was to derive models for the rational design of pit latrines of different shapes using data collected from 500 different household pit latrines already filled up. Thus, models were derived for different latrine pit shapes and sizes using data collected through the administration of designed questionnaire on 500 households having pit latrines already filled up. Models were developed specifically for different latrine shapes whereas those of other researchers were generalized. These models were calibrated and verified for the rational design of pit latrines of different shapes and sizes. The regression coefficients for calibration were 0.75, 0.65, and 0.50 and for verification are 0.97, 0.98 and 0.99 for square, circular and rectangular pits respectively. The implication of this research is availability of design models for the construction of different pit latrine shapes.

Background: Mathematical modeling of biothermal processes is widely used to enhance the quantitative understanding of thermoregulation system of human body organs. This quantitative knowledge of thermal information of various human body organs can be used for developing clinical applications. In the past, investigators have studied thermal distribution in hemisphere-shaped human breast in the presence of sphere-shaped tumor. The shape and size of the breast as well as tumor may also affect thermal distribution which can have serious implications in thermography. In this article, a model of thermal disturbances in peripheral regions of ellipsoid-shaped human breast involving ellipse-shaped nonuniformly perfused tumor has been developed for a 2-dimensional steady-state case. The modeling study will provide biomedical scientists vital insights of thermal changes occurring due to the shape and size of breast and tumor which can influence the development of protocols of thermography for diagnosis of tumors in women’s breast. Method: We have incorporated the significant parameters such as blood flow, metabolic activity, and thermal conductivity in the thermal model for normal and malignant tissues. The controlled metabolic activity has been incorporated for normal tissues, and uncontrolled metabolic activity has been incorporated for tumor regions. The peripheral regions of breast are divided into 3 major layers, namely, epidermis, dermis, and subdermal tissues. An ellipse-shaped nonuniformly perfused tumor is assumed to be present in dermal layers. The nonuniformly perfused tumor is divided into 2 natural components, namely, the necrotic core and tumor periphery. The outer surface of the breast is assumed to be exposed to the environment, and the heat loss takes place by conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation. The finite element approach is used to obtain the solution. The numerical results have been used to study the effect of shape and size of tumor on temperature distribution in matured breast of different shapes. Results: By selecting appropriate model parameters, we have shown the spatial thermal variation in matured breast of different shapes which could be replicated by the proposed model. We have also shown the thermal disturbances caused by different shapes and sizes of tumors by selecting appropriate values of parameters. In addition, the thermal information from our model provides us the basis for prediction of shape and size of tumors in terms of change of the slope of temperature profiles at the junction of tumor and normal tissues and tumor periphery and tumor core. Conclusions: The proposed model was successfully used to study the impact of different sizes and shapes of nonuniformly perfused tumor on thermograms in peripheral regions of ellipse-shaped woman’s breast. The proposed model is more realistic in terms of shape and size of tumors and woman’s breast in comparison with earlier models reported in the literature. The finite element discretization of breast into large number of triangular ring elements effectively models the heterogeneity of region. The changes in slope of the thermal curves at the junctions of various peripheral and tumor layers are due to the nonhomogeneous nature of the region. The location of major thermal disturbances in the tissues indicates the presence of tumor. The change in the slope of the thermal curves gives us idea about the position, type, and size of the tumors in the peripheral tissues. This thermal information can be exploited for detection of tumors by thermographic techniques.
