The museum s decision to show works from the collection of one of its trustees raised some ethical red flags by several bloggers, and gained momentum with a front page article on the New York Times followed by considerable coverage elsewhere, including an editorial in The Art Newspaper by Modern Art Notes Tyler Green, who had previously blogged about the situation, and responses by Jerry Saltz in New York Magazine. The cover of the November issue of the Brooklyn Rail featured a satirical cartoon by artist William Powhida with the title, How the New Museum Committed Suicide with Banality , taken from a post by James Wagner, skewering the incestuousness and insiderness of the New Museum, and Artinfo called the controversy the New Museum scandal.

Unreferenced date November 2006 The concept of Shatsthala or six Phases States Paths is pivotal to the Lingayat philosophy. Shatsthala is a conflation of Shat and Sthala which means six phases states levels through which a soul advances in its ultimate quest of realisation of the Supreme. The Shatsthala comprises the Bhakta Sthala , Maheshwara Sthala , Prasadi Sthala , Pranalingi Sthala , Sharana Sthala and the Aikya Sthala . The Aikya Sthala is the culmination where the soul leaves the physical body and merges with the Supreme. While the origins of the Shatsthala may be traced to the gama Hinduism Agamas , particularly the Parameshwaratantra , with the evolution of Veerashaivism the evolution of concept of Shatsthala was also unavoidable. While Basava understood Shatsthala as a process with various stages to be attained in succession, the credit of refuting this and redefining Shatsthala goes to Channabasavanna , Basava s nephew. Channabasavanna differed radically from his uncle and held that a soul can reach its salvation in any stage. Category Lingayatism Karnataka stub ... more details

Notably, Dr Robert Willmott, author of Education Policy and Realist Social Theory and Dr Justin Cruickshank, senior lecturer at the University of Birmingham. Analytical Dualism Archer argues that much social theory suffers from the generic defect of conflation where, due to a reluctance or inability to theorize emergent relationships between social phenomena, causal autonomy is denied to one side of the relation. This can take the form of autonomy being denied to agency with causal efficacy only granted to structure downwards conflation . Alternatively it can take the form of autonomy being denied to structure with causal efficacy only granted to agency upwards conflation .

When considering the role of the programmer in the production of software, their products can be seen in a new light that of programming as a creative expression, and of proprietary software as an artefact or Work of art artwork . This contentious issue is hotly debated, with people on both the arts as well as the technology sides of the argument denying the right of artist to the programmer . To date, Signwave have released two major software artworks, Autoshop a parody of Adobe Photoshop , and Auto Illustrator a similar but more advanced parody of Adobe Illustrator , both artworks being purchasable online through the distribution of serial number s.

Refimprove date July 2007 Occupational crime is crime that is committed through opportunity created in the course of legal occupation. Theft s of company property, vandalism , the misuse of information and many other activities come under the rubric of occupational crime.The concept of occupational crime as one of the principal forms of white collar crime has been quite familiar and widely invoked since the publication of Clinard and Quinney s influential Criminal Behavior Systems A Typology. More recently, however, the term occupational crime has been applied to activities quite removed from the original meaning of white collar crime, and it has been used interchangeably with such terms as occupational deviance and workplace crime. In the interest of greater conceptual clarity within the field of white collar crime the argument is made here for restricting the term occupational crime to illegal and unethical activities committed for individual financial gain or to avoid financial loss in the context of a legitimate occupation. The term occupational deviance is better reserved for deviation from occupational norms e.g. drinking on the job sexual harassment , and the term workplace crime is better reserved for conventional forms of crime committed in the workplace e.g. rape assault . The conceptual conflation of fundamentally dissimilar activities hinders theoretical, empirical, and policy related progress in the field of white collar crime studies.

Unreferenced date December 2009 In cartography , rubber sheeting refers to the process by which a layer is distorted to allow it to be seamlessly joined to an adjacent geographic layer of matching imagery, such as satellite imagery most commonly vector cartographic data which are digital maps. This is sometimes referred to as image to vector conflation . Often this has to be done when layers created from adjacent map sheets are joined together. Rubber sheeting is necessary because the imagery and the vector data will rarely match up correctly due to various reasons, such as the angle at which the image was taken, the curvature of the surface of the earth, minor movements in the imaging platform such as a satellite or aircraft , and other errors in the imagery. Applications in history and historical geography Rubber sheeting is a useful technique in Historical GIS , where it is used to digitize and add old maps as feature layers in a modern GIS .

Avestan Hvare khshaeta is a compound in which hvar Sun has khshaeta radiant as a stock epithet. Avestan hvar derives from the Indo Iranian languages Indo Iranian root svar to shine, from which Vedic Sanskrit Surya again Sun also derives. In Middle Persian , Hvare khshaeta was contracted to Khwarsh d , continuing in New Persian as Khursh d Khorsh d. cf. a similar contraction of Avestan Yima khshaeta as Jamshid . The short seven verse 6th Yasht is dedicated to Hvare khshaeta, as is also the Avesta Avesta s litany to the Sun. The 11th day of the Zoroastrian calendar is dedicated to and is under the protection of Hvare khshaeta. Although in tradition Hvare khshaeta would eventually be eclipsed by Mithra as the divinity of the Sun this is attributed to late syncretic influences, perhaps to a conflation with Akkadian Shamash , in scripture the Sun is still unambiguously the domain of Hvare khshaeta and remains distinct from the divinity of Covenant.

Disputed date July 2009 Refimprove date July 2007 Sociological naturalism is a theory that states that the Nature natural world and society social world are roughly identical and governed by similar principles. Sociological naturalism, in sociological texts simply referred to as naturalism , can be traced back to the philosophical thinking of Auguste Comte in the 19th century, closely connected to positivism , which advocates use of the scientific method of the natural science s in studying social science s. It should not be identified too closely with Positivism, however, since whilst the latter advocates the use of controlled situations like experiments as sources of scientific information, naturalism insists that social processes should only be studied in their natural setting. A similar form of naturalism was applied to the scientific study of art and literature by Hippolyte Taine see Race, milieu, and moment . Contemporary sociologists do not generally dispute that social phenomena take place within the natural universe and, as such, are subject to natural constraints, such as the laws of physics. Up for debate is the nature of the distinctiveness of social phenomena as a subset of natural phenomena. Broad support exists for the antipositivist claim that crucial qualitative differences mean that one cannot explain social phenomena effectively using investigative tools or even standards of validity derived from other natural sciences. From this point of view, naturalism does not imply scientism . However, a classically positivist conflation of naturalism with scientism has not disappeared this view is still dominant in some old and prestigious schools, such as the sociology departments at the University of Chicago in the United States, and McGill University in Montr al, Canada. More recently, actor network theory has analyzed the social construction of the nature society distinction itself.

Mormaer Beth is a name of a Mormaer mentioned in an unreliable charter granted to Scone, Perthshire Scone Priory, later Scone Abbey , by king Alexander I of Scotland . The charter Lawrie XXXVI says, merely, Beth comes i.e. Mormaer Beth . This could be a mistake for Heth , a form often used for the Gaelic name ed , or perhaps MacBethad , or even a real name as Beth , meaning life. Alternatively, the name may have been made up by either the scribe or his overseer. The only reason for associating Beth with Fife is that he appears first in the witness list, an honour often but certainly not always given to the Mormaer of Fife Mormaers of Fife amongst the other Scottish Mormaers. It is more probable that Beth this is the same person as ed, either Mormaer of Moray or Mormaer of Ross , attested in two early charters of David I of Scotland David I . ed disappears from the record ca. 1130. His identification as the ancestor of the MacHeths is uncertain. Conflation with Ethelred of Scotland is spurious, and based on the unlikely idea that Ethelred ever was Mormaer of Fife.

Cameleon was the first genetically encoded calcium sensor that could be used for ratiometric measurements and has found many applications in neuroscience and other fields of biology. It was created by fusing Blue fluorescent protein GFP derivatives BFP , calmodulin , calmodulin binding peptide M13 and EGFP . ref cite journal author Miyawaki A, Llopis J, Heim R, et al. title Fluorescent indicators for Ca2 based on green fluorescent proteins and calmodulin journal Nature volume 388 issue 6645 pages 882 7 year 1997 pmid 9278050 doi 10.1038 42264 ref Mechanism The DNA encoding cameleon fusion protein must be either stably or transiently introduced into cell of interest. Protein made by the cell according to this DNA information then serves as a fluorescent indicator of calcium concentration. In the presence of calcium, Ca sup 2 sup binds to M13, which enables calmodulin to wrap around the M13 domain. This brings the two GFP variant proteins closer to each other, which increases F rster resonance energy transfer FRET efficiency between them.

Tibetan Buddhism Image Dhankar.jpg left thumb 200px Dhankar Gompa , Spiti, India Gompa bo t z G nba and ling are Buddhist ecclesiastical fortifications of learning, lineage and sadhana that may be understood as a conflation of a fortification, a monastery or nunnery , and a university Sanskrit vihara , located in Tibet , India , Nepal , and Bhutan . Their design and interior details vary from region to region, however, all follow a general sacred geometry sacred geometrical mandala design of a central prayer hall containing a Buddha murti or thangka , benches for the monks or nuns to engage in prayer or meditation and attached living accommodation. The gompa or ling may also be accompanied by any number of stupas . The siting and Aspect geography aspect of the architectural constructions, satellite buildings and grounds were founded on History of geodesy ancient principles of geodesic lore and environmental metaphysics . Fact date October 2007 A gompa can also be just a meditation room or hall, without the attached living quarters. Meditation rooms in urban Buddhist centres are often referred to as gompas. They are a tradition in Ladakh.
