Patient Specific Computer Modeling and the Predictive Paradigm in Medicine

 

By Thomas J. R. Hughes, Ph.D, ICES Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Computational and Applied Mathematics Chair III

 

Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2013

Over the course of two weeks in the Fall of 2010, eight Brooklyn Preparatory High School students collaborated with International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) artist-in-residence Rose Nolan to create a text based Wall Work in their school. Contributing students gained insight into contemporary art practices while creating a site-specific work with Nolan along the corridors of their school. The completed wall piece is based on their collective discussions of language, visual structure and architectural space.

Including: 1 x exhibitionist gnome; 1 x victorian tile fragment (to preserve the gnome's modesty); 1 x ammonite fossil (not native to North London); 1 x block fused clear glass; 2 x block fused black glass; 1 x plaster fragment of large-scale egg and dart moulding.

Specific Instructions by Thomas Gerhardt

 

Ingredients:

white 8.5x11 sheet of paper

black pen or pencil

 

Program: (rules)

1. Start your drawing in the upper left region of your paper, with your paper in the portrait position.

2. Draw a straight line directly down (south), parallel to the edge of the paper.

3. Count down from 15 as your draw.

4. When you reach 0, make a 90 degree turn in the counter clockwise direction.

5. Start your count down over at 14, and keep drawing in this direction (east) ntill you reach 0, and make another 90 turn (towards north).

6. Repeat this process, and do not forget to minus one when you make a turn and start your count down over.

7. Stop when your count down starts at zero

Phylogenetic tree of mating-type specific and non mating-type specific pheromone receptor protein sequences.

The tree shows phylogeny amongst pheromone receptor proteins from F. velutipes (Fv), C. cinerea (Cc), L. bicolor (Lb), S. commune (Sc), P. djamor (Pd) and C. neoformans (Cn). Nodal supports with more than 70% bootstrap values are considered strongly supported and displayed in the tree. Known mating-type specific pheromone receptors are depicted in blue. Two major clades are distinguished, labeled A and B. The four non mating-type specific pheromone receptors of F. velutipes FvSte3.s1 to FvSte3.s5 (pseudogene FvSTE3.s2 was excluded) form a separate group (shaded purple) within clade B that is supported by strong branch values. The clade including FvSte3.1 and two other known mating-type specific pheromone receptors is shaded in orange. The clade that contains FvSte3.2 is shaded in yellow. Both these clades are supported by strong branch values. FvSte3.1 and FvSte3.2 group closest with SCBbr1 and SCBbr2, respectively. Clades that contain known mating-type specific pheromone receptors are strong evidence for mating-type specificity of other clade members. LbSte3.5 is a notable exception.

(HGM 945 M, Heisey Glass Museum, Newark, Ohio, USA)

-----------------------------------

"1401 Empress" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.

 

"Cobalt" refers to a type of colored glass that Heisey produced. It is also known as "Stiegel Blue".

 

The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.

-----------------------------------

From Bredehoft (2004):

 

Stiegel Blue: 1932-1941. Commonly called cobalt blue. Heisey's has exceptionally good color.

-----------------------------------

From museum signage:

 

Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.

 

In 1861, he began his life-long career in the glass industry by taking a job as a clerk with the King Glass Company of Pittsburgh. After a stint in the Union Army, Heisey joined the Ripley Glass Company as a salesman. It was there that he earned his reputation of "the best glass salesman on the road".

 

In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.

 

Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.

 

The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.

 

A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.

 

Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

Taken at Orbicules Hill, Concordia, Namaqualand. This specific rock type is found only at this location and in Scandinavia. The pattern on the rocks look like the hoofs of horses. It is also only on this one specific klipkoppie ( rocky hill) in South Africa, that this occurs. None of the surrounding hills have this granite type.

Arboreal (detail), 2006. Collaboration with Dean Chatwin. Pine, house paint, rope, dimensions variable. Site-specific installation along the South Hobart rivulet as part of the Mountain Festival Sculpture Trail. Winner of the Hobart Water Prize for best sculpture.

 

As part of the Mountain Festival Sculpture Trail, Arboreal responded to the relationship between the built and natural environment around Hobart’s urban fringes. Simple wooden geometric structures, which mimic contemporary house architecture, were placed in and around the trees, rocks and terrain along the rivulet walk.

The specific idea that a room’s true beauty is in the empty space within the roof and walls came from Laozi, a philosopher and the founder of Taoism, who held to the "aesthetic ideal of emptiness", believing that the mood should be captured in the imagination, and not so heavily dictated by what is physically present. Japanese design is based strongly on craftsmanship, beauty, elaboration, and delicacy. The design of interiors is very simple but made with attention to detail and intricacy.

Impermanence is a strong theme in traditional Japanese dwellings. The size of rooms can be altered by interior sliding walls or screens, the already mentioned shōji (paper screens). Cupboards built smoothly into the wall hide futon, mattresses pulled out before going to bed, allowing more space to be available during the day.

The minimal decoration also alters seasonally, with a different calligraphy scroll hanging or new flower arrangement.

Shoreham Sculpture Trail

with The London Group

and Friends. A weekend of site specific art by over 70 artists spread around the village of Shoreham, Kent.

 

One of the largest sculptire trails the UK has ever seen. Featuring 30 London Group members and invited artists, including many prominent UK sculptors. 76 artists will be exhibiting over 200 sculptures in 26 gardens. The astonishing diversity of the exhibits ranges from the monumental to the ephemeral with works in metal and stone, with interactive work and performance and the Trail will be particularly unusual in the number of site-specific works. The idyllic village of Shoreham Kent, a gem just on the edge of London, is a beautiful place to visit just for itself and in June the gardens of all sizes, many on the river, will be at their best - visitors couldn't wish for more perfect surroundings in which to view sculpture. Most artists will be present to meet visitors during the trail and many will be giving talks. The Trail is curated by London Group President Susan Haire.

… je celosvětově známý symbol squattingu. Squatting jakožto politický akt, vedoucí k rovnoměrnějšímu rozmístění statků na realitním trhu je jednou z alternativ, jak dát městu novou tvář. U nás(V České republice) je státním aparátem brutálně potlačován a nenachází mezi širší veřejností pochopení.

Jeho podstatou není pouze obydlení opuštěných, chátrajících budov, o které se z více či méně transparentních důvodů jejich vlastník nezajímá. Squaty se ve světě stávají důležitými kulturně-sociálními centry, důležitými meetingpointy, komunitními domy a kreativitě otevřenými platformami. V těchto případech pak jedinečným způsobem formují městskou tvář, obnovují zpřetrhané sociální vazby, osvěžují okolí.

Dům opuštěného casina v Pařížské ulici je právě jedním z těchto případů zbytečně chátrajících budov. Nachází se na jedné z nejdražších ulic světa a kulisi chátrajícího casina jsou symptomatické pro dnešní dobu mizící slávy Prahy. Spíše se ukazuje její vekslácká tvář, kamuflována levným pozlátkem.

Dům bývalého casina by mohl být obydlen, či sloužit jako kulturní centrum třeba tak, jako tomu je během festivalu 4+4dny. Ne pouze na jeden týden, ale na rok, dva, nebo třeba na dobu neurčitou. Vstup do budovy by pak rozhodně nebyl lemován rudým lanem a každý by byl VIP.

"1485 Saturn" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.

 

"Zircon" refers to a type of colored glass that Heisey made - in this case, greenish.

 

The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.

Wilson's Phalarope Phalaropus tricolor

 

Please comment with specific reasons if you have thoughts about the identification.

 

Dennis Paulson's "Shorebirds of North America - The Photographic Guide" is an excellent book. Page 337, Plate 90.2 of a male Wilson's Phalarope is a good match for this bird. The rusty neck color and pattern is key.

 

Yesterday I photographed 3 Red-necked Phalaropes, and got nice views. They have a different pattern of red on the neck that I saw well & documented. Here's a photo:

www.flickr.com/photos/58148027@N07/42049813481/in/datetaken/

 

[I'd had various notes here about going back and forth on this phalarope's identification. I've snipped them.]

 

Two days ago I went to Lateral C to try to find the White-faced Ibis pair Jeff had found. (I did. Yay!) While there I spotted a pair of Wilson's Phalaropes. I think everyone else there also got to see them. Today I went back to see if the ibises were still around. I didn't see the ibises, but did see 7 Wilson's Phalaropes.

 

Putting the word "photos" in your checklist for uncommon birds, as anything other than a temporary placeholder for the real thing, is LAME. It puts undo burden on eBird reviewers to guess whether your judgement is accurate, or, for problem listers, whether you're being truthful. It's drag-and-drop simple to add photos to checklists. Just do it -- IF you actually have photos, they're photos taken of the bird WHILE YOU WERE OBSERVING it, at the time and place of your eBird list entry, NOT THE PREVIOUS DAY WHEN YOU WERE NOT THERE. And make the species comments your own in shared checklists. Write what you, yourself observed. Having your checklist and companion's checklist with identical comments is not of value to you, nor to science, nor to the eBird community. It's a detriment.

 

Not Norbert is the guy who claims the cow pond in Nass as if it were his own. It's not Kerry's. It's Norbert Marquez's. Hence, "Not Norbert" is a good name for him -- until he comes clean, if he ever does. Not Norbert doesn't give credit, not even for county firsts, in his newspaper blips, saying that would discourage birders. Yet he vainly claims someone else's pond should be called by his own name. Wrong. Besides being contradictory, neither is right. Maybe Not Norbert's licence plate could be changed to read BRAG2XS. Or maybe his tune could change instead. Still calling it as I see it, rather than as I'd like to see it, just like species on my checklists. That seems better to me.

 

See Something --> Say Something: Don't enable illegal and unethical birders -- poachers. Help break their habits. Call them as you see them.

 

Stop pishing and using playback on rare and sensitive birds and in heavily birded areas.

"Digital technology is too incorporative through the abstraction of symbols, images or sounds into a common digital form and through the flexibility of its output devices to support an idea of media specificity based on any one state of the technology. Thus, if considered as a medium, not only are its physical characteristics unstable, the potential composite discourses to which it contributes are already too broad to allow any single concept of digital art"

Four buoys to be more specific.
