Maurice, a bildungsroman by E. M. Forster, revolves around the theme of homosexuality. By presenting homosexual characters, who are on futile quest for their actual identity, Forster attempts to be voice unspeakables in Edwardian period England, where all acts homosexuality were considered illegal. In this paper, identity characters is analysed through lenses Lacanian psychoanalytic theory focu...

We describe a method of determining the distribution function associated with acceptors partaking in Forster resonance ̈ Ž . energy transfer FRET from excited donors. Unlike previous approaches to this problem the method described makes no a priori assumption about the nature of the distribution. The use of an acceptor distribution function in analyte sensing is demonstrated for the first time. ...

The effect of non-radiative energy transfer and diffusion on the fluorescence decay of phenanthrene in the presence of acridine was observed in six solvents of viscosity 7 = 0.4 CP to 64.6 CP. The system obeys Stem-Volmer kinetics at low 7, Forster kinetics at high 7 and intermediate kinetics at medium 7. At 7 = 64.6 CP the decay obeys the Forster relation. At lower 7 it agrees satisfactorily w...

The first ever human vs. computer no-limit Texas hold ’em competition took place from April 24– May 8, 2015 at River’s Casino in Pittsburgh, PA. In this article I present my thoughts on the competition design, agent architecture, and lessons learned.

It has been argued that real-world structure constrains the semantic representations of verbs, resulting in cross-linguistic convergence of naming patterns for motion events. This study explores the nature of this real-world structure by manipulating individual features of human locomotion in video stimuli and comparing the responses of English and German speakers in an elicitation task. We sho...
