This article investigates the experience of seven refugee students with academic reading during their first year of college, with a focus on the challenges they faced completing assigned readings and the strategies they used to cope with these challenges. Although the participants graduated from American high schools, they were not considered ‘college-ready’, according to their scores in …

In this paper we present an empirical study of a supermarket supply chain to understand the determinants of prices and profits enjoyed by farmers, processors, and supermarkets. We study the liquid milk market which has seen much controversy about both the distribution of rents and the mechanisms firms have used to influence the distribution. We discuss insights from a series of interviews we co…

Given the large number of RNA-binding proteins and regulatory RNAs within genomes, post transcriptional regulation may be an under appreciated aspect of cis-regulatory evolution.Here,we focus on nematodegermcells,which are known torely heavily upon translational control to regulate meiosis and gametogenesis. GLD-1 belongs to the STAR-domain family of RNA-binding proteins, conserved throughout e…

In this paper, I argue that Jarett Kobek’s ATTA (2011), portraying one of the terrorists of September 11th, and Nick Flynn’s The Ticking isthe Bomb (2010), focusing on the ensuing ‘Waron Terror’, are the first texts responding directly to the global effects of 9/11. Both do so by mapping and ‘producing’ urban and global space through relationality, and by recomplicating and recontem…

Taking Bellow’s Herzog and Berryman’s 77 Dream Songs as case studies, this article attempts to reconcile two historically opposed approaches to literature: those privileging the author’s intention and those privileging the reader’s response. Contemporary critics described these two books as ‘confessionalist’, but the authors disputed this vigorously. The contradictory situation pres…

Intermediate learners of English often show considerable skill in communicating orally, and using language productively to solve the tasks set. However, on closer inspection, the actual language produced is often very simple and contributes little to students’ language growth. The present article reports on a small-scale pedagogic intervention that attempts to redress this situation by raisin…

We prove that the presence or absence of corners is spectrally determined in the following sense: any simply connected planar domain with piecewise smooth Lipschitz boundary and at least one corner cannot be isospectral to any connected planar domain, of any genus, that has smooth boundary. Moreover, we prove that amongst all planar domains with Lipschitz, piecewise smooth boundary and fixed ge…
