Effects of unilateral renal arterial constriction on tubular reabsorption of sodium and water during an osmotic diuresis. | Previous studies have indicated that acute reductions in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), during loading with nonreabsorbable solute, increase the fraction of the filtered sodium load reabsorbed (1-3). The renal tubular sites at which this enhanced reabsorption develops have not been elucidated. Recent studies from this laboratory in which mannitol loads were administered to salt-depleted subjects with modest reductions in GFR suggested that sodium reabsorption was enhanced within the proximal tubule (4). However, it was not possible to determine whether renal hemodynamics or other, perhaps hormonal, factors were responsible for the increased reabsorption at this site. The present studies were designed to evaluate the specific effects of a reduction in GFR produced by renal arterial constriction on tubular sodium reabsorption. We propose that renal arterial constriction during loading with nonreabsorbable solute provokes an enhanced reabsorption of sodium, in large part within the proximal tubule. | s2orc_title_abstract |

^_______________________________________________________________________
**00'** Kickoff!
**11'** Stunning save by Pepe Reina to keep Martinez out.
**20'** The ball's in the back of the net for Porto, but it's ruled out for offside! Looked wrong on the replay!
**25'** All Porto so far, but nothing yet to show for it.
**46'** Ref blows for half time. Napoli have worked their way back into it, but Porto unlucky not to be a goal up.
^__________________________________ **HT** ^__________________________________
**45'** Second half is underway.
**47'** Fuck me, an unbelievable strike from Fernando is tipped just wide by Reina! What a screamer!
**50'** And Quaresma drags his shot from distance just wide of the post, although Reina may have had it covered.
**53'** Massive chance for Higuain, but his sharp strike is brilliantly saved by Helton! Game of keepers so far!
**54'** Helton saves well again from Albiol's header! The game has really lit up in this second half.
**56'** *How on earth* has that stayed out?! Higuain's shot is parried into Callejon's path and deflects back to Helton!
**57'** **GOAL PORTO!** Something had to break! Martinez strikes it sweetly from the corner for the opening goal!
**59'** Reveillere picks up the first yellow of the game for a late challenge on Sandro.
**67'** ](//#sub) *Porto substitution [1/3]: [](//#up)Quintero [Eduardo*
**70'** Sandro gets a yellow for a high boot on Callejon, meaning he will miss the return leg.

**83'** And now at the other end, Maicon clears it off the line as Zapata's first touch is almost a goal!
**87'** ](//#sub) *Porto substitution [3/3]: [](//#up)Herrera [Defour*
**90'** There'll be minimum of three added minutes.
**92'** Zapata with a big late chance but fails to connect with the cross!

What is my new favorite book of 2013? Nesbo's The Leopard of course | What is my new favorite book of 2013? Nesbo's The Leopard of course. Although the book was translated and published in the North American market in 2011 and prior to Nemesis (2012), I didn't find the reading of it in any way spoiled.
Harry Hole has landed in a pit; the lowest point in his life, captive to heroine and alcohol and living in what can only be described as squalor in the back alleys of Hong Kong. Beckoned, or rather demanded, back into the crime department of the Oslo police department to solve a serial murder case he also finds himself at the bedside of his dying father.
A madman is systematically murdering a group of people who are all connected by a common thread. The scenes at each of the murders are the most gruesome since the Snowman was captured. Harry and his new partner cum lover follow the dots connecting the murders taking them to the Congo, avalanche ridden mountains and France all in the pursuit of the killer. As they come closer to solving the case both find themselves in the hands of the killer and trying to stay alive.
Now I have to say that I may be a little biased in my review given that I have read every one of Nesbo's books that have been translated into English and he is at the top of my favorite author list. What can I say? The man consistently writes great crime thrillers.
What makes The Leopard a great read is that not only is Harry Hole once again takes the starring role but many of his cohorts are back alongside of him for the action. Nesbo consistently brings harrowing action and often graphic violence into his thrillers and that is what keeps his readers coming back. Another strong point is Nesbo keeps you guessing. This isn't one of those skim through the pages reads. You need to pay attention and add up the clues as Hole uncovers them and I guarantee will be part of why you will have such a hard time putting the book down.
Nesbo once again excels in developing a back story for each of his new characters and I have to say his attention to detail had me taking an instant dislike to Mikael Bellman and his thugs but also suspecting one or more of the players as the killer and inadvertently being completely wrong each time. In keeping with Harry's troubled character Nesbo adds a few more flaws into what could have been a man who is so brilliant could have the world as his oyster and of course a woman by his side.
I haven't read a Jo Nesbo book that wasn't an absolutely great read and this book makes it a shut-out. At 740 pages it's what you could call an epic read, but in all honesty you will have the pages turning so quick to keep up with the pace it's really a non-issue. Try as I might, I can't find a single thing lacking with this book, it's definitely a 5 star read. | amazon_reviews |

A dwarf became mayor and now his name has changed. Is this normal? | My dorfs just fought off some goblins, losing Ustuth Tombsbrother in the ensuing battle (broken heart). When I was checking the dwarves I noticed someone named `Shem Idlised, mayor`.
I thought oh, my first mayor, but when I looked in dwarf the rapist, I could not find him at all. So I set him a custom profession and there he was, `Ducim Mosusrazot, milker`.
Strange. Before he was called `Ducim Mosusrazot` and he was handed an axe (as he's just a milker), but he slay a goblin and became mayor, and took the name `Shem Idlised`.
Is this normal? It's really confusing!

Abstract Objective: The phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway appears to play a significant role in the intracellular events leading to agonist-stimulated phasic myometrial contractions. The studies described in this report were performed to characterize phospholipase C isoform expression at the protein level and to confirm histologic localization of these proteins within the myometrial smooth muscle layers of the uterus. Methods: For these studies, uterine tissue was obtained from timed- pregnant and spontaneously cycling adult female Sprague-Dawley rats. After isolation of myometrial cell membranes and cytosolic proteins, Western blots were performed by using phospholipase C isoform-specific antibodies. Tissue cross-sections of near-term pregnant rat uterus were used with the phospholipase C isoform-specific antibodies for immunohistochemical studies. Results: The Western blot studies confirmed expression of the phospholipase C-β 3 , -γ 1 , -γ 2 , and -δ 1 proteins in both the membrane and cytosolic fractions of rat myometrium; in contrast, only trace amounts of the phospholipase C-β 1 protein was observed in this tissue. The immunohistochemical studies demonstrated localization of the phospholipase C-β 3 , -γ 1 , -γ 2 , -δ 1 and to a lesser degree phospholipase C-β 1 isoforms within the longitudinal and circular smooth muscle layers of the near-term pregnant rat uterus. Conclusion: These studies have confirmed the simultaneous expression of several phospholipase C proteins within the smooth muscle cells of the pregnant and nonpregnant rat uterus, thereby providing support for the possible redundant role of these signal transduction enzymes during the generation of cytosolic calcium oscillations and phasic myometrial contractions. (Am J Obstet Gynecol 2001;185:1191-7.) | Activated phospholipase C1, produced in response to tyrosine phosphorylation, appears to play an important role during uterine contractions. These studies sought to determine which non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases are involved in the activation of phospholipase C1 in rat uterine tissue. In vitro contraction studies were performed utilizing isoform specific protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Western blots were performed utilizing antibodies to phosphotyrosine-phospholipase C1, total phospholipase C1, c-Src kinase and Lck kinase. Spontaneous, stretch-stimulated, and bpV(phen) (tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor) enhanced uterine contractions were significantly suppressed in response to Damnacanthal (Lck kinase inhibitor) and PP1 (c-Src kinase inhibitor). Damnacanthal and PP1 also significantly suppressed bpV(phen)-enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C1. Western blots confirmed expression of Lck kinase and c-Src kinase in uterine tissue. In conclusion, the Lck and c-Src kinases appear to play an important role in regulating tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C1 and contractile activity in the rat uterus. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

So I'm running a half marathon this weekend. I have a question about my running shoes. Also, I am sick. | I am doing a half marathon this weekend.
* **Shoes**: I have done 2 half marathons in asics. I did the Ragnar (Miami to Key West) in Jan of this year and I used my Nike frees (minimalistic running shoe) and loved the runs (Longest run was 8ish miles). My 5k races have improved so much since I started running in my Nike frees (I just broke my PR this past weekend!). However, in the past 2 weeks I have done my long runs with the Frees (9 miles and 10 miles) I've noticed that after mile 8 the soles of my feet feel SUPER tired! I mean, I feel my heart beating on my feet and they get super hot and hurt.
So I tried to do a run with my asics (have not used them since last year) but at mile 5 I was already full of blisters, and the shoes felt so heavy! Either way, my feet are in so much pain... I have no clue which shoes to wear this Sunday.
* **Sick**: To top it off I am sick (bad cold). I was feeling better this past Sunday so I ran a 5k race (it was cold and rainy) and did great! But I think that because I pushed myself so much I relapsed a bit. Today I feel like crap and the race is on Sunday. Should I take it easy this week and not do any runs? Or should I at least do a few short runs (a 5k and a 4mi?)?
**TL/DR: Have not used my asics for a year and now they feel heavy and give me blisters. Love my nike frees but the soles of my feet are in SO much pain after 8ish miles. Also, I am sick, should I still do some runs before the race?**
**Edit** Have ONLY used my frees since January. When I noticed that doing 10 miles in them was painful on my soles I tried to do a run in the asics, but that run was awful and I got tons of blisters. | reddit_title_body |

Despite Sign-Up Successes, Glitches Still Frustrate Some Health Care Enrollees | Despite this week’s news that more than 3 million people have signed up for health insurance under President Obama’s Affordable Care Act, some consumers say they’re still frustrated with — and thwarted by — enrollment issues that are driving a wedge between them and their insurance. New fixes are now allowing enrollees to change personal data to reflect life changes (such as births or divorces), but many say they still can’t complete their applications for reasons ranging from confusion over their Medicaid eligibility, to messages saying their information hasn’t been verified, to simply not receiving confirmation and an insurance card once they’ve successfully completed their applications. Amy Goldstein has been covering these issues for The Washington Post and joins Here & Now’s Robin Young with details on the glitches. Guest
Amy Goldstein, reporter for The Washington Post. She tweets @goldsteinamy.
ROBIN YOUNG, HOST: Well, yesterday we talked about the good news regarding health care coverage, more people signing up in January than anticipated. But as we mentioned there are still problems. We asked you if you were having them. And for instance Gary Welch writes that he signed up here in Massachusetts, paid his premium, his check was cashed, but he never got an insurance card or another bill. He's now worried that if he's not paying his monthly bills because he's not receiving them, he'll be dropped before his coverage kicks in. Other problems: people are getting caught in a feedback loop, files have been lost. Amy Goldstein of The Washington Post has been taking a look. So Amy, lots of good news about health care reform, people signing up. But what? AMY GOLDSTEIN: Well, there's good news, and there's less good news. The good news, as you say, is that more and more people are signing up, and in part that's happening because heathcare.gov, the federal online health insurance marketplace, and some state marketplaces, such as the one in Massachusetts, are doing better at letting people enroll without big computer problems. On the other hand, it sounds like you hear, and I hear all the time, from people who are still running into all kinds of trouble. YOUNG: Well, what do you think is at the heart of the problem? Here in Massachusetts we famously have a state exchange, the first. It was working very well. And then it had to join forces with the federal exchange so that people could get subsidies and things, and there have been terrible problems ever since that. And yesterday at a hearing, the woman in charge of the agency charged with sorting this out broke down in tears, saying that the people who came to help other people sort this out are just demoralized because, you know, the blame is being placed on them. I mean, we're having tears shed over people trying to straighten this out. Is it that the wrong people are answering the questions? Is it still computer glitches? Is it that information was lost? What's at the heart of it? GOLDSTEIN: Well, it's not just one thing. But I suspect that she's not the only one who's been shedding tears over the last few months in public or private. One of the problems it that there still are some computer problems, particularly with heathcare.gov, which is the federal online marketplace. And some of the problems lately have been that if you enroll, and you discover that, whoops, you picked an insurance that really wasn't very good for you, or if you have a baby, or you get married and you want to put a new spouse on your insurance plan, it's very hard to make changes. So people have been kind of stuck with insurance that they didn't mean to get or finding that they can't make their insurance cover their whole family. So lately, this is late last week, the Obama administration told the participating insurance plans and people called navigators, who are helpers to people who are trying to enroll in this coverage, that they had made a bunch of improvements. For the first time, the computer system, the administration said, will let people cancel a plan and pick a new plan. That's under very limited circumstances, but that's a big deal because before that, if you had tried to cancel a plan, you could do that, but the system would then freeze you out for a year. So you couldn't pick a plan that you like better. But supposedly that's now able to happen. YOUNG: And they also say they've made changes so that you can update your application, add a birth, add a spouse. GOLDSTEIN: That's right. There's something now called a report a life change button on heathcare.gov. Now I've heard that that's still not working perfectly. Some people are finding it's doing what it should do for them, but it's not perfect, and I think that that lack of perfection is perhaps why the administration has not publicly announced these changes. YOUNG: Well, but the fact that it hasn't publicly announced them also means that a lot of people don't know | npr |

Silk cocoons, constructed by silkmoths (Lepidoptera), are protective structural composites. Some cocoons appear to have evolved towards structural and material optimisation in order to sustain impact strikes from predators and hinder parasite ingress. This study investigates the protective properties of silk cocoons with different morphologies by evaluating their impact resistance and damage tolerance. Finite element analysis was used to analyse empirical observations of the quasi-static impact response of the silk cocoons, and to evaluate the separate benefits of the structures and materials through the deformation and damage mechanism. We use design principles from composite engineering in order to understand the structure-property-function relationship of silkworm cocoons. Understanding the highly evolved survival strategies of the organisms building natural cocoons will hopefully lead to inspiration that in turn could lead to improved composite design. | Silkworm cocoons have evolved a wide range of different structures and combinations of physical and chemical properties in order to cope with different threats and environmental conditions. We present our observations and measurements on 25 diverse types of cocoons in a first attempt to correlate physical properties with the structure and morphology of the cocoons. These two architectural parameters appear to be far more important than the material properties of the silk fibres themselves. We consider tensile and compressive mechanical properties and gas permeation of the cocoon walls, and in each case identify mechanisms or models that relate these properties to cocoon structure, usually based upon non-woven fibre composites. These properties are of relevance also for synthetic non-woven composite materials and our studies will help formulate bio-inspired design principles for new materials. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

Cleashindra Hall hoped to be a pediatrician .
She disappeared after leaving doctor's office where she worked .
Honor roll student was two weeks shy of high school graduation .
Tip line: 870-543-5111. Reward exceeds $10,000 . | NEW YORK (CNN) -- Cleashindra Hall was 18 and in the most exciting time of her life when she disappeared in May 1994, a week after her senior prom. Cleashindra Hall was two weeks shy of her high school graduation when she disappeared. She had spent hours preparing for the prom, choosing the perfect dress and getting her hair and nails done. She was an honor roll student and would give the commencement speech at her high school graduation in two weeks. Hall wanted to be a pediatrician and was looking forward to attending Tennessee State University to study pre-medicine. But all that came to an abrupt halt after 8:30 p.m. May 9, 1994, when she left her after-school job at the home office of Dr. Larry Amos in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. It was the last time she was seen. She usually called home when finished work, and one of her parents would pick her up. She spoke to her mother on the phone just after 8 p.m. Her mother expected her to call again soon for a ride home. She never did. Watch how phone calls play a role in this case » . Laurell Hall fell asleep waiting for her daughter's call. She awoke abruptly at 1 a.m., realizing that her daughter had not called and had not come home. Amos, Hall's employer, told police she had left his house at 8: 30 p.m., getting into a car with someone he assumed was giving her a ride. The next day, Hall's parents reported her missing. "It's been very frustrating for us. We feel that police didn't do everything they could have done at the beginning, when she first went missing," Laurell Hall said. "We had to wait 24 hours in those days before police would take a missing persons report." It disturbs Laurell Hall that the home where her daughter was last seen was not searched for nearly two weeks after her daughter vanished. "I don't understand why police could not search the home immediately to make sure there was no sign of a struggle there," Hall said. "Maybe they would have found her press-on nails or hair extensions there; who knows?" Amos did not return CNN's phone call seeking comment. Police say the house was full of people the night Hall was working there. Lt. Terry Hopson of the Pine Bluff Police Department said a search of the Amos home did not turn up any evidence that Hall was injured or attacked there. "We do believe she left that house that night with someone she was acquainted with," Hopson said. He did not elaborate. "We have spent many hours and manpower on this case over the years and continue to diligently investigate this case and developing leads," Hopson said. He hinted that police have some idea of what happened to Hall that night but are seeking forensic evidence to support their theory. Police said they obtained phone records from the Amos home for the hours when Hall was working there. But they won't say who, if anyone, may have spoken with Hall on the phone besides her mother. Both family and police say Hall was not the type to go somewhere without telling anyone. She also had no reason to escape her life and was not a troubled teen. Police consider the disappearance to be suspicious and believe that foul play is involved. However, they have no clues as to who might have abducted her. There is no description of the vehicle that may have picked Hall up from the Amos home, though police believe that if she got into a car with someone, it would have been someone she knew. According to family and friends, Hall did not have a boyfriend. Police did question and administer a polygraph to a boy in the community who Hall liked and was friendly with. The polygraph results are unclear, and police interrogation of the boy and their search of his vehicle did not provide any leads. When Hall disappeared in 1994, cell phone triangulation and other technologies commonly used in missing person cases today weren't available. Police say they have no forensic evidence in this case. Their only hope is that someone comes forward with a tip after all these years. Cleashindra Hall is black, stands 5'8" tall, weighs 120 pounds and has dark short hair, dark eyes and a surgical scar on her left knee. She was last seen with her hair in a ponytail, wearing a white shirt and short set with navy polka dots and stripes, white socks and small stud earrings. Police urge anyone with more information regarding the whereabouts of Cleashindra Hall to call the tip line at 870-543-5111. More than $10,000 in reward money is offered. | cnn |

Finally, a real thermos bottle you can drink from. | This is the holly grail I've been looking for: a true stainless steel thermos bottle that will keep your coffee hot for a really really long time that you can drink from directly. Or I suppose you could think of it as a commuter mug that seals completely and reliably. The top does seem a little flimsy but it works easily (look ma: one hand!) and flawlessly, doesn't deposit a drop of coffee on my ample schnoz, like so many other mugs I've used, and so far seems to be holding up fine. I especially like the little flip up 'safety' catch that keep the top from opening accidentally.
As others have pointed out, you have to be careful not to over-fill, and preheating the bottle with boiling water will help storage time, as will leaving it full until you're ready to drink the full half-liter, though I am pleasantly surprised how long it keeps the bottom half drinkable. | amazon_reviews |

VBS journalist meets pioneers of "most peculiar" experimental film movement .
Genre born of freedom that came with collapse of Soviet Union .
Unique film tradition may not exist much longer given Russia's present volatility . | Editor's note: The staff at CNN.com has recently been intrigued by the journalism of VICE, an independent media company and Web site based in Brooklyn, New York. VBS.TV is the broadband television network of VICE. The reports, which are produced solely by VICE, reflect a transparent approach to journalism, where viewers are taken along on every step of the reporting process. We believe this unique reporting approach is worthy of sharing with our CNN.com readers. Brooklyn, New York (VBS.TV) -- In this installment of the Vice Guide to Film, VBS co-founder Shane Smith travels to Russia to meet the pioneers of one of the most peculiar experimental film movements in history: Parallel Cinema. The genre marries Soviet avant-garde agitprop filmmaking (black and white, silent, odd angles, extreme closeups, rapid fire editing of good Soviets at work) with something called "Necro-realism," a movement spearheaded by filmmaker Yvegny Yufit and consisting of very weird gay male zombie flicks that feature fat bald men having sex and eating each other's brains. It was meant to be a comment on the impending fall of the Soviet system and the decadence of the apparatchiks in charge. It grew to become much more. While Russia is known for its experimental works of the 1920s -- auteurs like Dziga Vertov and Sergei Eisenstein spring to mind -- this freedom of expression ended when Stalin took power. For 60 years, Russian film was dominated by the drab, state-approved imagery of Socialist realism. This genre was defined by stark scenes of the proletariat soldiering and toiling diligently over the land. Making movies outside this milieu meant that the film-lovers, artists, actors and rock musicians who collaborated to create it were risking life and limb at the hands of the KGB. But when the Soviet Union collapsed, the threat of its primary intelligence agency diminished and Russian filmmakers began to unleash six decades of pent-up creative energy. The films that emerged were an insane mish-mash of booze, violence, surrealism and insanity. Parallel Cinema was born. Watch the rest of Russian Parallel Cinema at VBS.TV . For this episode, Shane journeys to Moscow and St. Petersburg to meet several of the surviving founders of Parallel Cinema and Necro-realism, many of whom are today extremely successful commercial producers and directors. In fact, a few of them now run some of the country's key networks and continue to make films. Shane manages to uncover this fascinating underground art community and finds that to this day the Parallel Cinema movement thrives. The devoted still have weekly Parallel screenings and events, and even put out a monthly film publication. Still, as he immerses himself in this unique film tradition, it becomes clear that, given Russian's present volatility, it may not exist much longer. | cnn |

Echoic memory encrypts only moderately primitive aspects of the stimuli, for example pitch, which specifies localization to the non-association brain regions. Shortly after George Sperling's partial report studies of the visual sensory memory store, researchers began investigating its counterpart in the auditory domain. The term echoic memory was coined in 1967 by Ulric Neisser to describe this brief representation of acoustic information.

Love's Work: Gillian Rose's fiercely forthright life force | The founding act of defiance for the philosopher Gillian Rose seems, by her own account, to have been against dyslexia. The discovery early on “that the desert of stony words could be made to bloom, that I could channel what I could not overcome” enabled her to embark on a life of intellectual adventure that combined forbidding academic rigour with a passionate, personal engagement in moral and ethical questions.
Gillian Rose
Her intense and beautiful memoir, Love’s Work, records an experience of learning philosophy at Oxford so sterile she nearly abandoned the subject. Rose recalls being admonished to “remember … all the philosophers you will read are much more intelligent than you are”, but through a left turn into sociology she was able to relaunch her singular journey through speculative European thought. The books that followed included The Melancholy Science, an “introduction” to the work of Theodor Adorno that’s best read only after you know it; and The Broken Middle, a forbidding account of the impossible, unavoidable negotiation between the ideal and the singular, which manages to reveal a Kierkegaardian face to Hegel, and vice versa. This rewarding but rather terrifying work won her fans including Rowan Williams.
These intellectual struggles are all – rather miraculously – alive in this laconic, lyrical autobiography. It describes a troubled childhood in a turbulent Jewish family where the trauma of divorce was loaded on to the emotional weight of history; it recounts romantic loves that are sometimes desperate, sometimes euphoric and offers vivid, tender and occasionally shocking portraits of her many friends.
Throughout a career that ranged across thinkers rarely considered together, the work of Hegel was a constant: the knotty thinker who explored how every concept depends on its opposite; how truth is a moving target in an unceasing dialectic. And this defiantly difficult line of thinking, or something very much like it, seems to have informed her personal life.
In philosophy and in private life, Rose takes as inspiration Hegel’s not obviously hilarious definition of comedy: “The comical as such implies an infinite lightheartedness and confidence felt by someone raised altogether above his own inner contradiction and not bitter or miserable in it at all.” (Rose adds a nuance: “No human being possesses sureness of self: this can only mean being bounded and unbounded, selved and unselved, sure only of this untiring exercise.”)
This style of thinking, which defiantly refuses any easy certainty, is the key with which she unpicked a generation of contemporary philosophers, including Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault, to find their claims to have overcome western metaphysics actually recapitulate older forms of law. It also shows in her frustration with uncomplicated feminism, which she argues “fails to address the power of women as well as their powerlessness, and the response of both men and women to that power”.
In spiritual questions, too, Rose insists on complication. Modern debates about faith neglect a protestantism shared by both sides, she argues – a protestantism that was the foundation of modernity. After all, it was to defend Christianity that Immanuel Kant constructed the Critique of Pure Reason – a foundational text of the Enlightenment.
The book is also defiant in its treatment of the life crisis that set her writing: the discovery of advanced ovarian cancer. Her defiance here is not in any romantic “battle” with the disease, any embrace of alternative medicine or credulous faith in conventional doctoring, but in continuing to live, open-eyed, with remarkable vigour – a vigour she says left her friends distinctly unsettled.
Love’s Work is no polemic, but there is a fierceness here that defies both conventional wisdom and readers’ self-reassurances. And also herself: Rose levels a flinty eye at her own exorbitant thinking, and remains ready to “tarry with the negative” in her seeking after the truth. “You are always stronger than yourself” is a refrain in these reflections.
If there were a prize for the most challenging epigraph, Love’s Work would be a strong contender. Rose takes it from Staretz (in some accounts Saint) Silouan: “Keep your mind in hell, and despair not.” This is of course impossible wisdom, but Rose bore it with her, writing and thinking to the end. The cancer killed her, aged just 48 in 1995. But the defiant invitation to live and think and feel more deeply remains as urgent as ever.
Her friend Geoffrey Hill wrote his poem Paideia in memory of a thinker who is only beginning to receive her due. It includes these lines:
There are achievements
that carry failure on their back, blindness
not as in Brueghel, but unfathomably
far-seeing.
But Hill offers no easy consolation, concluding: “I find love’s work a bleak ontology / to have to contemplate; it may be all we have.” | ccnews |

Effects of upward or downward forced flow in the centre of the sump of an Al alloy billet on structure and macrosegregation were studied. The billet was cast at a pilot vertical direct chill caster and had dimensions of 195 mm diameter and 1400 mm length. Introduction of forced flow in the liquid part of the sump resulted in some changes in the structure and dramatic changes in macrosegregation. Upward flow coarsened the structure and increased negative centreline segregation. Downward flow made the structure finer and more uniform across the billet, and suppressed the macrosegregation. Strong downward flow produced positive macrosegregation in the billet. The experimental results are analysed using computer simulations of heat flow and solute transport, and discussed in terms of macrosegregation mechanisms. | Grain structure and macrosegregation are two important aspects to assess the quality of direct chill (DC) cast billets, and the phenomena responsible for their formation are strongly interacted. Transient modeling of grain structure and macrosegregation during DC casting is achieved with a cellular automaton (CA)–finite element (FE) model, by which the macroscopic transport is coupled with microscopic relations for grain growth. In the CAFE model, a two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric description is used for cylindrical geometry, and a Lagrangian representation is employed for both FE and CA calculations. This model is applied to the DC casting of two industrial scale Al-6.0 wt % Cu round billets with and without grain refiner. The grain structure and macrosegregation under thermal and solutal convection are studied. It is shown that the grain structure is fully equiaxed in the grain-refined billet, while a fine columnar grain region and a coarse columnar grain region are formed in the non-grain-refined billet. With the increasing casting speed, grains become finer and grow in a direction more perpendicular to the axis, and the positive segregation near the centerline becomes more pronounced. The increasing casting temperature makes grains coarser and the negative segregation near the surface more pronounced. | s2orc_abstract_citation |
