What was written down in Ancient Egypt and what was not committed to writing changed dramatically over 3000 years of dynastic history. Why were some genres of texts created and not others? John Tait uses this question as the starting point to explore the meaning of writing in ancient Egypt, through its technology, through the decisions of the scribes who wrote them, and through the expectations of readers of these texts. It explores the culture of orality, the uses made of written documents, and ancient preservation strategies for textual materials. Tait creates a set of genres of Egyptian texts to help us understand how they viewed written documents in their original cultural context.

Measuring Temperature without Joule heating effects in CE: The introductory chapter gives a detailed description of thermal effects in capillary electrophoresis. The following experimental chapters describe simple methods to find the mean temperature of electrolyte inside the capillary, which do not involve any external equipment. The current and voltage data collected from the instrument is used to find the conductance, G at various applied voltages. By plotting a graph of G vs the power per unit length, P/L, a straight line is obtained which is extrapolated to P/L = 0 to find the conductance free of Joule heating G(0). The increase in temperature of the electrolyte is found from the change in G. Studies in fused silica- and polymer- capillaries are presented. A quick technique for fitting conductance versus voltage data to find the temperature increases is also described. Electroosmotic mobility may be used to find the temperature at the inner capillary wall. Techniques for...

Laura Amy Schlitz

Step back to an English village in 1255, where life plays out in dramatic vignettes illuminating twenty-two unforgettable characters. Maidens, monks, and millers' sons - in these pages, readers will meet them all. There's Hugo, the lord's nephew, forced to prove his manhood by hunting a wild boar; sharp-tongued Nelly, who supports her family by selling live eels; and the peasant's daughter, Mogg, who gets a clever lesson in how to save a cow from a greedy landlord. There's also mud-slinging Barbary (and her noble victim); Jack, the compassionate half-wit; Alice, the singing shepherdess; and many more. With a deep appreciation for the period and a grand affection for both characters and audience, Laura Amy Schlitz creates twenty-two riveting portraits and linguistic gems equally suited to silent reading or performance. Illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings by Robert Byrd - inspired by the Munich-Nuremberg manuscript, an illuminated poem from thirteenth-century Germany - this...
