Zhang, Eric, Butler, Terry, Newman, John, Lin, Jingxia
The creation of the Wenzhou Spoken Corpus, an online searchable corpus of a modern Chinese dialect, presents a number of challenges that are of interest to the corpus linguistic community. We review issues involved with collection of spoken data, its transcription and markup, as well as the...

The WoW Factor: A Virtual Ethnographic Study of Sacred Things and Rituals in World of Warcraft
The WoW Factor: A Virtual Ethnographic Study of Sacred Things and Rituals in World of Warcraft
Download2015-05-29
This paper describes the method of complete participant observation-style virtual ethnography and how it was used to study sacred objects and rituals in the virtual world of Azeroth, from the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft (WoW). Drawing heavily from...

This essay disambiguates the yoga texts associated with the name of the ancient Indian sage Yājñavalkya. Two key works are identified and reflections are offered on their manuscript and print histories. A text and translation of the section on yoga postures (āsana) from one of these works is...

Theatrical Activism in Vancouver: From the Native Brotherhood and Sisterhood of BC to Marie Clements’s The Road Forward and Back…
Download2015-01-01
Analyzing the phenomenological performance modes balanced in Marie Clements’s production of The Road Forward during the 2013 Vancouver PuSh festival, I also examine the previous iteration of the project at the Aboriginal Pavilion during the 2010 Winter Olympics. I assert that this production is a...

THEMIS observations of the spatial extent and pressure‐pulse excitation of field line resonances
Download2010
Kabin, Konstantin, Liu, Wenlong, Rankin, Robert, Angelopoulos, Vassilis, Glassmeier, Karl-Heinz, Li, X., Sarris, T. E., Bonnell, John, Talaat, Elsayed R.
We present a case study of Field Line Resonances (FLRs) in the dayside magnetosphere, observed in both electric and magnetic field components at multiple L-shells near the equator. The event measured by the five THEMIS probes and the nearby GOES and Geotail satellites provides a unique...

Theoretical and methodological issues in relationship research: Considering the common fate model
Download2017-02-01
Galovan, Adam M, Holmes, Erin Kramer, Proulx, Christine M.
Family and relationship researchers ask research questions at the dyadic- or family level, yet analyses are often conducted at the individual level. We review theoretical perspectives relative to studying families and dyads and note how they are connected with dyadic analysis techniques. We note...

Kabin, Konstantin, Marchand, Richard, Lu, J. Y., Rankin, Robert, Tikhonchuk, Vladimir T.
It is shown that perpendicular gradients in shear Alfvén wave (SAW) dispersion regulate the localization of wave power on nightside geomagnetic L-shells where narrow Field Line Resonances (FLRs) form. We estimate the timescale for this process, ω0tc = 1/equation image, and demonstrate that it is...

There's a way out for me: Insights from support intervention for low-income women who smoke.
Download2010
Letourneau, N., Boscoe, M., Makwarimba, E., Greaves, L., Stewart, M., Kushner, K. E., Spitzer, D., Daum, C.
Based on an assessment of low-income women’s support needs and preferences, an intervention was designed consisting of 14 weekly group support sessions encompassing peer and professional facilitators and volunteer buddies. Participants (n=44) completed a 13-item semi-structured qualitative...

Thermal dissociation of streptavidin homotetramer in the gas phase: Subunit loss versus backbone fragmentation
Download2013
Deng, Lu, Klassen, John S., Kitova, Elena N., Sinelnikov, Igor
The results of time-resolved blackbody infrared radiative dissociation experiments performed on gaseous protonated ions, at charge states +15, +16 and +17, of the homotetramer streptavidin (S4) are reported. Evidence is found for three dissociation pathways involving (i) the loss of a single...
