At the time of its publication, Nima Yushij’s “Qoqnus” (The Phoenix) emerged as a radical departure from the norms and conventions of classical Persian poetry. Nima employed phoenix symbolism in this poem to present his zeal for a literary renaissance. Likewise, George Darley (1795-1846), the Irish Romantic poet who found himself lonely and isolated at the mitigating time borders of Romanticism...

The inaction of Genovese’s neighbors was attributed to the bystander effect, but this attribution completely disregarded the socio-legal repercussions of associating with a homosexual at this time in history. Therefore, the premise of the initial results from Darley and Latané was based on an incomplete narrative. While this oversight does not negate the usefulness of the theory, it calls into ...

PURPOSE In 1963, Charles Van Riper published "My Grandfather," a short reading passage that has evolved into a ubiquitous metric of reading ability and speech intelligibility. In this historical note, we describe several heretofore unacknowledged similarities between "The Grandfather Passage" (Darley, Aronson, & Brown, 1975) and a portion of The Valley of Fear (Conan Doyle, 1915/2006), the fina...

More than 30 years ago, Darley, Aronson, and Brown (1969) proposed clinicoanatomic correlations for seven perceptual types of dysarthria. These correlations have not been systematically re-examined even though imaging technologies developed in recent years provide the means to do so. This review considers data from published imaging studies as well as data from selected medical interventions to...

Good management begins with planning, and at the foundations of planning must lie an understanding of the nature of the institution: what its role is in society and how it goes about fulfilling that role. In my own institution, the Canadian Museum of Civilization (CMC) the driving vision of the Director, George MacDonald, was crucial to the project, during the '80s, to create a new museum respo...

In this paper, we establish a new analogue of the classical Bonferroni inequalities and their improvements by Galambos for sums of type ∑ π∈P(U)(−1)(|π| − 1)!f(π) where U is a finite set, P(U) is the partition lattice of U and f : P(U) → R is some suitable non-negative function. Applications of this new analogue are given to counting connected k-uniform hypergraphs, network reliability, and cum...

These are the words the great French mathematician used to describe his initial thoughts when he proved that there is a prime number greater than 11 [11, p. 76]. His final mental image he described as "... a place somehere between the confused mass and the first point". In commenting on this in his fascinating but quirky monograph, he asks "What may be the use of such a strange and cloudy image...

Sound and complete semantics for classical propositional logic can be obtained by interpreting sentences as sets. Replacing sets with commuting dense binary relations produces an interpretation that turns out to be sound but not complete for R. Adding transitivity yields sound and complete semantics for RM, because all normal Sugihara matrices are representable as algebras of binary relations.
