Abstract

This book adds to our knowledge of British politics in the period from Catholic Emancipation (1829) to the Great Exhibition (1851). It includes a biographical introduction on Sibthorp, an analytical essay on his ultra-Tory political opinions and extracts with annotations from his very readable and lively speeches in the House of Commons on such issues as Catholic Emancipation, the Maynooth Grant, parliamentary reform, retrenchment, government secrecy, military matters, railways, agricultural protection and the Great Exhibition. This book contains five color photographs.

Abstract

Probabilistic Modelling in Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics has been written for researchers and students in statistics, machine learning, and the biological sciences. The first part of this book provides a self-contained introduction to the methodology of Bayesian networks. The following parts demonstrate how these methods are applied in bioinformatics and medical informatics. All three fields - the methodology of probabilistic modeling, bioinformatics, and medical informatics - are evolving very quickly. The text should therefore be seen as an introduction, offering both elementary tutorials as well as more advanced applications and case studies.

Abstract

This book commemorates the bicentenary of the landmark Spanish Constitution of 1812. Drafted by Spanish and colonial Spanish American liberals (and non-liberals) holed up in Cadiz as Napoleon's troops occupied the surrounding hills, this war-time Constitution set out radically to redefine 'the Spanish nation' for a new age. In the event, it divided Spaniards and threw into sharp relief the question of Spain's legitimacy in her American colonies. Cadiz 1812 is a defining moment in the modern history of the Spanish-speaking world.Bringing together specialists in the history, politics and culture

Abstract

This book focuses on data describing the roles of free radicals and related reactive species, and antioxidants, in the causes and treatments of diseases, examining both clinical and pre-clinical trials, as well as basic research. The book is divided into sub-sections with chapters on toxicological mechanisms, agents that produce toxicity, and special topics including areas such as antioxidant supplements, oxygen toxicity, toxicogenomics, and marine biology. Studies on Experimental Toxicology and Pharmacology promotes the concept of using biomarkers of free radical- and reactive species-induced injury as adjuncts to classical laboratory testing and the ability of antioxidants to provide cellular protection. There is increasing evidence that free radicals and other reactive species are causative, or at least supporting factors, that impact organisms and cause numerous tissue disorders. With contributions from international experts in the field, this volume is a valuable resource for researchers and postgraduate students in toxicology and related fields, as well as clinicians and clinical researchers.

Abstract

Twelve Good Men and True brings together some of the most ambitious and innovative work yet undertaken on the history of an English legal institution. These eleven essays examine the composition of the criminal trial jury in England, the behavior of those who sat as jurors, and popular and official attitudes toward the institution of jury trial from its almost accidental emergence in the early thirteenth century until 1800. The essays have important implications for three problems central to the history of criminal justice administration in England: the way in which the medieval jury was informed and reached its verdict; the degree and form of independence enjoyed by juries during the early modern period when the powers of the bench were very great; and the role of the eighteenth-century trial jury, which, although clearly independent, was, by virtue of the status and experience of its members, arguably a mere extension of the bench.This extensive collection marks the first occasion on which scholars working in several different time periods have focused their attention on the history of a single legal institution. Written by J. M. Beattie, J. S. Cockburn, Thomas A. Green, Roger D. Groot, Douglas Hay, P.J.R. King, P. G. Lawson, Bernard William McLane, J. B. Post, Edward Powell, and Stephen K. Roberts, the essays utilize sophisticated techniques to establish from a variety of manuscript sources the wealth, status, and administrative experience of jurors.Originally published in 1988.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Censures et manipulations : Dans les mondes ibérique et latino-américain

Abstract

La question de la censure, de ses modalités et de ses effets, semble inépuisable, et toutes les formes d’expression, que ce soit des textes (poésie, théâtre, roman, presse…) ou des images (peinture, photographie, cinéma…) sont susceptibles d’être à un moment ou à un autre les victimes de mesures censoriales plus ou moins sévères. Ce livre envisage les cas de l’Espagne, du Portugal et de divers pays d’Amérique Latine (Argentine et Uruguay) autour de trois thématiques : les pouvoirs et les censures de l’Ancien Régime au xxe siècle ; les dictatures face aux productions littéraires et cinématographiques : franquisme, salazarisme, dictatures latino-américaines ; langue et littérature : autocensures, oublis, manipulations. La question des stratégies à adopter face à la censure est au cœur de ce volume. Comment contourner la censure, s’y adapter et faire avec, comment pouvoir donc communiquer avec son public plus ou moins « librement » ? Les pratiques peuvent être variées et dépendre des situations concrètes, qu’il s’agisse de déplacement physique, de choix d’une autre langue ou d’effacement de repères concrets pouvant permettre de remonter jusqu’aux imprimeurs et auteurs de publications dont le contenu « hétérodoxe » peut faire l’objet de répression, en passant par l’autocensure, le jeu du possible qui peut permettre de faire naître des espaces de transgression. Brutale, souvent arbitraire, aveugle et polymorphe, la censure et ses agents sont rarement intelligents. La ruse, et donc la métaphore ou l’ellipse, devient alors une pratique obligatoire pour tenter de tromper les censeurs.
