Ecocriticism, Geopolitics, and John Gower's Confessio Amantis
Lauren T. Geiger
Jan 01, 0001
Ecocriticism is a multi-disciplinary critical theory that connects environmentalism and literary studies by looking at texts through their representations of nature and ecology. While the study of ecocriticism might seem to be...

The Viable System Model for Diagnosing and Handling IT-Project Interdependencies in Large Portfolios
Adequately considering project interdependencies has shown to be a determinant of how successful IT/IS project portfolios are managed. However, this can be especially troublesome since there is no universal way to handle many...
A Class of its Own? The Role of Sustainable Real Estate in a Conditional Value at Risk Multi-Asset Portfolio
In this paper, we analyze the effect of socially responsible investments within a multi-asset portfolio optimization model. We also attempt to bridge the gap in the real estate literature between sustainability principles and...
A Comparison of the Representation of Women in Editor Positions at Major Medical Journals in 2021 vs 2011.
PURPOSE: There continues to be a disparity in the representation of women across medicine, including in editor positions at major medical journals. The authors repeated a study they had conducted in 2011 to compare the...
First-order synchronization transition in a large population of strongly coupled relaxation oscillators.
Onset and loss of synchronization in coupled oscillators are of fundamental importance in understanding emergent behavior in natural and man-made systems, which range from neural networks to power grids. We report on experiments...
Biplanar High-Speed Fluoroscopy of Pony Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon (SDFT)-An In Vivo Pilot Study.
The superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) is the most frequently injured structure of the musculoskeletal system in sport horses and a common cause for early retirement. This project's aim was to visualize and measure the...
Smartphone Solutions for Citizen-Centered Risk Monitoring in Environmental Disaster Situations
Through an analysis of three case studies, this chapter proposes a new kind of democratic risk communication that can be realized through environmental sensing by citizens with smartphones, and considers the challenges involved....
Sialylation acts as a checkpoint for innate immune responses in the central nervous system.
Sialic acids are monosaccharides that normally terminate the glycan chains of cell surface glyco-proteins and -lipids in mammals, and are highly enriched in the central nervous tissue. Sialic acids are conjugated to proteins and...
Navigating the factor zoo around the world
AbstractThe literature on cross-sectional stock return predictability has documented over 450 factors. We take the perspective of an institutional investor and navigate this zoo of factors by...
Hybrid Powertrain Technology Assessment through an Integrated Simulation Approach

Global automotive fuel economy and emissions pressures mean that 48 V hybridisation will become a significant presence in the passenger car market. The complexity of powertrain solutions is increasing in order to further...

Efficient Magnus-type integrators for solar energy conversion in Hubbard models
Strongly interacting electrons in solids are generically described by Hubbardtype models, and the impact of solar light can be modeled by an additional time-dependence. This yields a finite dimensional system of ordinary...
Seroprevalence, Waning and Correlates of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG Antibodies in Tyrol, Austria
There is uncertainty about the seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the general population of Austria and about the waning of antibodies over time. We conducted a seroepidemiological study between June 2020...
Toward whole-of-system action to promote physical activity
Background: The value of a systems thinking approach to tackling population physical inactivity is increasingly recognized. This study used conceptual systems thinking to develop a cognitive map for physical activity (PA)...
