Standpoint theory has made today’s feminist historians especially conscious of the ‘situatedness’ of all approaches. The intimate relationship of scholars with their human subjects means that choices and interpretations readily become sites of engagement in modern contests of principles and practice. Because the franchise campaigns were a leitmotif of the first women’s movement, suffragists have a particular purchase on the feminist imagination. This special significance makes appraisals of Canadian activists an important test of scholarly and popular standpoints in the construction of a meaningful past. This paper sets forth one feminist historian’s reflections on engagement with the suffragists.

Introduction: Recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLN) are particularly prone to injury during thyroid surgeries due to its intimate relationship and proximity with the gland. Zuckerkandl’s tubercle (ZT) helps in preserving RLN intra operative. Material and Methods: A prospective study for identifying RLN in thyroid surgery using relationship with superior parathyroid gland and tubercle of Zuckerkandl was conducted on 50 thyroidectomy patients between August 2013 and February 2014. Results: In all cases ZT was identified. Temporary paralysis of RLN was seen in 3 (6%) cases and permanent paralysis in 2 (4%) of cases. Discussion: The site of greatest risk during thyroidectomy to the RLN is in the last 2-3 cm extralaryngeal course of the nerve. Relationship of recurrent laryngeal nerve with superior parathyroid gland and tubercle of Zukerkandl (ZT) is known. Conclusion: Use of ZT and superior parathyroids as a landmark allows safe dissection of RLN.

Pet Scans

Measurements of drug occupancies using positron emission tomography (PET) can be biased if the radioligand concentration exceeds “tracer” levels. Negative bias would also arise in successive PET scans if clearance of the radioligand is slow, resulting in a carryover effect. We developed a method to (1) estimate the in vivo dissociation constant Kd of a radioligand from PET studies displaying a non-tracer carryover (NTCO) effect and (2) correct the NTCO bias in occupancy studies taking into account the plasma concentration of the radioligand and its in vivo Kd. This method was applied in a study of healthy human subjects with the histamine H3 receptor radioligand [11C]GSK189254 to measure the PK-occupancy relationship of the H3 antagonist PF-03654746. From three test/retest studies, [11C]GSK189254 Kd was estimated to be 9.5 ± 5.9 pM. Oral administration of 0.1 to 4 mg of PF-03654746 resulted in occupancy estimates of 71%–97% and 30%–93% at 3 and 24 h post-drug, respectively. NTCO correction adjusted the occupancy estimates by 0%–15%. Analysis of the relationship between corrected occupancies and PF-03654746 plasma levels indicated that PF-03654746 can fully occupy H3 binding sites ( ROmax = 100%), and its IC50 was estimated to be 0.144 ± 0.010 ng/mL. The uncorrected IC50 was 26% higher.

The mineral phases and the distribution of major, minor and trace elements in the clays and bed rocks of two bore-holes at Adda and Chaubatta of the Birbhum area have revealed an intimate relationship of the kaolin-rich clays with the bed-rock of Adda. The possibility of a common origin for the clay deposits at Chaubatta, lying close to the Rajmahal trap formations, and at Adda, lying close to the Archaean boundary, has been inferred from trace element distribution and other factors. A genetic relationship of the clay deposit at Adda with the bed-rock, altered Archaean gneiss, has been established, but there is no significant relationship of the Chaubatta clay deposit with its bed-rock, the weathered basalt.The lateritic cappings above the kaolin-rich clays of Adda and Chaubatta areas are explained as being formed from kaolinite in the weathering sequence as the end-product of intensive desilication under conditions of intensive leaching and increasing acidity near the surface.

Relationship Of

According to Paul Wells, the lengthy and intimate relationship of the animation auteur to the animated text is similar to the writing process, and the animated form’s sense of its own artifice highlights the transformative aspects of adapting literary sources for the cinema. It is this expression of interiority, translation and textual process that makes the animated film a perfect vehicle for an adaptation of James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922), which utilizes multiple narrators to construct and deconstruct representations of urban, Dublin society in the early 20th century. It is the purpose of this article to consider Tim Booth’s animated short Ulys (1998), which is in part a commentary on Joyce’s writing authorship, and also an adaptation of Joyce’s novel. The author considers Booth’s use of animation to recover the ‘image-schemas’ that underpin Ulysses, and the ‘small spatial stories’ that inform human cognition of both the literary and animated text.

The intimate relationship of the nodule bacteria to their hosts, the Leguminosæ, offers some fascinating problems in plant chemistry, which have been only partially solved by the researches of the past 50 years. These investigations have been mainly botanical and bacteriological, and such chemical work as there is has been done from an agricultural standpoint, with a view to discovering and explaining the fertilising action of leguminous crops. Consequently our hypotheses of the more detailed physiological chemistry of the nodule have been deduced largely from cytological and histological evidence. The microchemical mode of attack has been almost entirely neglected. Even though methods in botanical microchemistry are still very unsatisfactory, it seemed possible that a microchemical study of nodule tissues might throw new light on the nodule problem. The results to be reported here are admittedly qualitative and, in some cases, not conclusive, but the author feels that her expectation was justified, and that the field is a fertile one for the future. In general, the methods used were based on those of Molisch (1923) and Tunmann (1913) and on an outline of methods by Dr. Sophia Eckerson (unpublished notes lent by an associate). Additional methods, based on known properties of the substances in question, were devised when necessary.
