		Thus, the modern novel is rooted in two traditions, the mimetic and the fantastic, or the realistic and the romantic.
		The novel became the dominant form of Western literature in the 19th cent., which produced many works that are considered milestones in the development of the form.
		These novels are not only masterpieces of realism but also—in their carefully crafted form, experimental point of view, and superb style—supreme examples of the novel as a literary genre.

	Interaction of Melittin With Membrane Cholesterol: A Fluorescence Approach - Science - RedOrbit
		The binding of melittin to membranes can be quantitated by the blue shift of emission maximum (from 352 to 336 nm) upon binding to the lipid vesicles, which is due to the change in the polarity of the surrounding medium because melittin in buffer exhibits an emission maximum at 352 nm.
		The decrease in the fluorescence intensity as well as the red shift of the emission maximum could therefore be due to increased water penetration in the interfacial region (where the tryptophan residue in membrane-bound melittin is localized; Ghosh et al., 1997) of the membrane induced by cholesterol (Subczynski et al., 1994).
		A shift in the wavelength of maximum fluorescence emission toward higher wavelengths, caused by a shift in the excitation wavelength toward the red edge of the absorption band, is termed REES.

		red shift or redshift, in astronomy, the systematic displacement of individual lines in the spectrum of a celestial object toward the red, or longer wavelength, end of the visible spectrum.
		Some red shifts are the result of the Doppler effect, i.e., of the relative motion of the earth and the object away from each other.
		Red shifts are also produced by gravitation (the gravitational red shift) in accordance with the general theory of relativity.

		At first intriguing, Red Shift quickly crumbles into a graceless, obtuse mess whose point is forever obscured.

		Red Shift is a story that is sadly summed up by its final line: "It doesn't matter.

		The author has apparantly forgotten that they are writing a novel (or a story) and not a continuing television series.
		A novel requires a coherant story, with a beginning, a middle and an end, and you cannot effectively tell a story if you bury it in endless minutia.
		Meanwhile, do not be surprised, either, if you happen to notice that the fl-cloaked “Death Eaters” are hastily repurposed generic brigands and “Lucius Malfoy” is often to be found mouthing the same lines as in his previous role as the dastardly French spy.

	Fredric Jameson- SF Novel/SF Film
		Still, the relationship of novel and filmic text is a peculiar one, and is not exhausted by this kind of comparison.
		But I think it may be worth entertaining another possibility, namely that this kind of unit (the "filmed novel") is a specific and complicated text in its own right, a kind of stereoptic text, half words and half images read with the eyes of memory.
		But in the newer film criticism itself, as it addresses that related problem of the relationship of words or spoken text to images within a single film, already the conclusion had been drawn that these effects were at their most intense when there was a lag, a dissonance, a non-correspondence, between these two registers.

		Much of the action of the novel takes place in the twilight life after death, but a life that remains a dimension of earthly existence and contemporaneous with it.
		To be a visionary is to perceive what is truly there; and the dynamic in Williams’s novels is between those who accept and love the supernatural nature of the material world and those who refuse it or, while accepting it, exploit it for their own ends.
		It is this impish intellectual humour which preserves Williams’s novels from becoming bombastic or portentous — this, and his ability to portray such elusive spiritual states as beatitude and sanctity.

	Edinburgh Guide Theatre review - The Third Man - Red Shift
		The initial reaction upon entering the Brunton Theatre's auditorium is that Red Shift Theatre's The Third Man promises to be an atmospheric experience, with its white set pitted against the fl background as a metaphor for the slanted monochrome world filled with loners and misfits.
		This does not mean that Red Shift's production is without fine moments - there are a few gripping scenes that help prove this is a decent show which one might enjoy as long as one does not expect to be wowed.
		Red Shift's The Third Man was launched as part of Graham Greene Centenary Festival in Berkhamster on 2nd October 2004, and will tour nationally until March 2005.

	The Red Badge of Courage Summary & Essays - Stephen Crane
		For this reason, critical reactions to the The Red Badge of Courage in 1895 were mixed: some disapproved of Crane's use of the vernacular—the common slang of everyday folk and soldiers—and the impressionistic technique.
		He describes a skirmish as sounding like a "crimson roar," for example, and writes of war as "the red animal." Crane's sense of color pervades the work; note his description of the sky, which remains "fairy blue" during the day, as if to underscore the indifference of nature to the carnage taking place.
		Today, Crane's novel is widely read and appreciated for its amalgamation of artistic themes and techniques.

		If this is a real red heifer, and strict Orthodox rabbis have declared her worthy of sacrifice, then a lot of Jews in Israel will take that as a sign that a new phase of history is about to begin.

		It is entirely appropriate that the first altered text in Red Planet was the phrase, "Shut up." When Heinlein was forced by editorial pressure to make changes in his 1949 juvenile he was indeed silenced and the thrust of his message blunted and warped.
		'Red Planet' on the other hand was different; an attempt to depict a whole new way of life on a strange planet complete with mysterious aliens but written in such a way that the reader feels at home almost at once.
		It is partly because 'Red Planet' as it first appeared was not written the way that Heinlein wanted it to be written that the restored edition is more valuable to a Heinlein reader who also enjoys the sometimes dangerous, always exhilarating, hobby of analyzing the stories.

	A commentary on collages made by Richard Horvath (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Firstly there is the tightly formal element of rigidly applied coloured paper strips, then the totally meaningless plywood cut-out shapes on either side of the picture that only have a partial coherence because the copper strips provide some visual continuity of line work.
		The source of inspiration for 'Space' was vaguely a William Blake watercolour of a godlike figure in the clouds, however this only became clear after I had placed the cut-out of the man on a field of stenciled dots and had started to sprinkle little jig sawed plywood off cuts over the picture.
		One really nice aspect of this type of collaging is the openendedness of the technique, that when you are stuck you can shift all sorts of bits and pieces around until an idea begins to gel and then you start to exercise a bit of discipline to give that idea shape.

		As in his novel Shoeless Joe, in which a long-deceased baseball player sets up a game in a startled fan's backyard, Kinsella's title piece explores the shifting borders of reality as Flannery O'Connor's character Enoch Emery comes to life and moves in with his creator.
		The stories' themes and characters are often fanciful, sometimes verging on the bizarre--the survivor of a freakish crime, as in "Oh, Marley," or a man who runs off with his daughter's teenage friend in "Evangeline's Mother"--but in Kinsella's hands they become poignantly credible.
		The blurb on the back of Red wolf, red wolf promises a collection of Kinsella stories that shift from the baseball diamond (as in Shoeless Joe aka Field of Dreams) and the Indian reservation (as in thea Silas Ermineskin novels).

		Garner's "Red Shift" is a culmination of his development as a novelist, starting with the fantasy adventure "The Weirdstone of Brisingamen", before he completely changed, and wrote his "Stone Book" quartet, stories of his ancestors, stonemason, flsmith, and others.
		In "red Shift" the move from outer fantasy of "Weirdstone" to inner possession of modern characters in "Owl Service" becomes the shared consciousness, at moments of trancelike crisis for sets of characters living in three separate eras: post-Roman Britain, the English Civil War, and modern Manchester.
		The "red shift" itself is many things - a red petticoat, a bloody recourse to action, the hurtling apart of distant galazies, and the corresponding rushing apart of lonely people.

		The Doppler shift, or "red-shift," produced when an object is moving away from us, affects all radiation -- not just visible light, but also radio waves, microwaves, infrared and ultraviolet radiation, x-rays and gamma rays.
		For the most distant galaxies we know today, their visible light is shifted all the way into the infrared, requiring special instruments to observe them at those wavelengths, and their infrared light gets shifted into radio wavelengths known as the "sub-millimeter" regime.
