Die Zirkulation und Rezeption der historischen Romane von Carl Franz van der Velde im 19. Jahrhundert

Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Verbreitung und Rezeption der historischen Romane des deutschsprachigen Autors Carl Franz van der Velde (1779-1824) zu analysieren, um Hinweise darauf zu finden, wo diese Bücher zirkulierten und wie sie von einigen deutschen Literaturkritikern im neunzehnten Jahrhundert gelesen wurden, um auf diese Weise einen Beitrag zu den Studien über die Geschichte des Buches und des Lesens zu leisten. Das Korpus der Untersuchung besteht aus Auswertungen von Bibliothekskatalogen weltweit, aus den Bewertungen der Kritiker, die in zwei deutschen Literaturzeitschriften – der Leipziger Literaturzeitung (1800-1833) und der Jenaische Allgemeinen Literaturzeitung (1804-1841) ­– veröffentlicht wurden, und aus den brasilianischen Bibliothekskatalogen und Zeitungsanzeigen, die auf der Website der Brasilianischen Nationalbibliothek verfügbar sind. In der Analyse werden drei Hauptaspekte betrachtet: wie viele Ausgaben und Übersetzungen van der Veldes Romane im 19. Jahrhundert erlebten, welche Kriterien zur Bewertung seiner Bücher verwendet wurden und wie ihre Verbreitung in Brasilien war. Die Analyse zeigt, dass van der Veldes Werke in verschiedenen Ländern weit verbreitet waren und in den literarischen Zeitungen meist positiv bewertet wurden, was Informationen über die Relevanz und Verbreitung des deutschsprachigen historischen Romans, insbesondere in der ersten Hälfte des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts, liefern kann.
Retinal sensitivity in healthy Indians using microperimeter

To establish the retinal sensitivity values in healthy Indians using microperimeter.In this prospective study, 144 healthy volunteers were included. All the participants underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination including contrast sensitivity. Microperimetry was performed in the central 20° of the macula using 76 stimulus points to assess the retinal sensitivity, and the fixation characteristics in the study population were assessed.The mean age of the study sample was 43.08 ± 10.85 years (range: 25-69). Mean retinal sensitivity was 18.26 ± 0.99 dB. Males had significantly increased retinal sensitivity (18.34 vs. 18.17 dB, P = 0.03). The linear regression analysis revealed a 0.04 dB per year age-related decline in mean retinal sensitivity. Contrast sensitivity was significantly correlated with the mean retinal sensitivity (r = 0.432, P < 0.001). Fixation stability in the central 2° and 4° were 69% and 89%, respectively.Microperimeter is an ideal tool to assess the retinal sensitivity and the fixation behavior. These normative values could help in drawing a meaningful conclusion in various retinal pathologies.
Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial properties of grafted sugarcane bagasse/silver nanocomposites

Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) was grafted with acrylamide (AAm) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) by chemical oxidation method. The effect of monomer/initiator molar ratio, reaction time, reaction temperature and material to liquor ratio on the degree of grafting was investigated. The optimum conditions for grafting were: monomer/initiator molar ratio 1 for AAm and 2 for GMA, reaction time 4h, reaction temperature 80°C and materials to liquor ratio 1:20. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Ungrafted SCB, SCB-g-AAm and SCB-g-GMA were impregnated into silver (Ag) nanoparticles colloidal solution. The ungrafted SCB, grafted SCB and their nanocomposites with Ag nanoparticles were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The grafted SCB/Ag nanoparticles exhibit better antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli as the model Gram-negative bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus as the model Gram-positive bacteria and Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans (yeasts) than ungrafted SCB/AgNPs.

Personal ornaments in the palaeolithic of europe

The project PeOPLE (Personal Ornaments in the PalaeoLithic of Europe) seeks a new perspective on the archaeological framework for Eastern Europe during the earlier part of the Upper Palaeolithic (UP) by study of the beads and other personal ornaments known from sites of this period. The study period covers ca. 45,000-25,000 years ago – the first twenty thousand years of modern human occupation of ice age Europe. 

Our knowledge of cultural change and variation in the UP is based heavily on lithic artefacts: stone tools and the waste from their production. There are numerous shortcomings in our present understanding of Palaeolithic cultural variation, especially in Eastern Europe. Personal ornaments, which have been found in large numbers at sites of this period, represent an underused resource for understanding UP cultural diversity and connections in this region. 

The known corpus of these artefacts will be studied based on published sources and by direct examination of selected collections using established techniques. Attributes of the artefacts themselves and of their archaeological contexts will be recorded. A database will be produced which will be analysed using statistical techniques, including some borrowed from genetics. The results of the analysis will be compared with the current archaeological framework for this period and, where possible, with genetic trees based on aDNA studies. 

The project offers great scope for testing and refining our current understanding of cultural variation and change during this period. It will also provide an excellent test-case for some theoretical anthropological questions, regarding e.g. human responses to climate change and the spread and persistence of material culture traditions. Communication and outreach is an important part of this project. This will include the creation of open-access resources, including 3D scans of artefacts where possible, and targeted outreach activities.
Mobility and Residential Costs

Insufficient accessibility to public transport services is one of the results of urban sprawl arising out of the dynamic settlement development in the hinterland of Alpine cities. This forces people to motorised private transport which causes environmental pollution, traffic congestion, high follow-up costs for infrastructure, high individual mobility costs and high time expenditure for commuting and daily supply. MORECO actively supports a sustainable, resource-friendly settlement development which follows supply facilities and public transport axes. For this purpose it combines planning measures and spatial policies with activities of transport providers and mobility actors. In addition a bottom up approach involves house hunting households and residential construction actors who have direct influence on the property market. Innovative tools, ensuring reliable information and high transparency of long-term MObility + REsidential COsts, support the actors in their decision-making processes.
Synchronous Metastasis From Lobular Carcinoma and Primary Carcinoma of the Endometrium in a Patient After Tamoxifen Therapy

Patients treated with tamoxifen often experience vaginal bleeding, generally because of benign endometrial lesions or, less often, because of endometrial carcinoma. A rare cause of vaginal bleeding in these patients is breast carcinoma metastasis in an endometrial polyp. We describe a 67-yr-old patient with metastasis of lobular breast carcinoma in an endometrial polyp and papillary serous endometrial carcinoma, both diagnosed simultaneously in a uterine curettage. The coexistence of the 2 cancers was confirmed by pathologic study of the hysterectomy specimen. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of the synchronous presence of the 2 neoplastic diseases. Endometrial biopsies performed for endometrial disorders in patients who have breast cancer and have received tamoxifen should be studied carefully to avoid underdiagnosis.
The wettability of ash from burned vegetation and its relationship to Mediterranean plant species type, burn severity and total organic carbon content

Abstract Immediately following a wildfire, a layer of ash and charred material typically covers the ground. This layer will gradually be reduced, being redistributed by rainfall, wind or animals, by partial dissolution and by incorporation into the soil. Ash can increase or decrease the post-fire runoff and erosion response, depending upon the soil and ash properties and the ash thickness. One aspect of ash that has remained unknown and which may affect the variability in the hydrological response of the burned soil is its wettability. This study examines the wettability of ash using the Water Drop Penetration Time (WDPT) test, its relationship with total organic carbon (TOC) content and colour, and its effects when incorporated into the soil. Ash samples (n = 48) were taken from five wildfires in the Mediterranean basin encompassing a range of burn severities. Additional ash material was generated from exposing plant leaves (Rosmarinus officinalis, Pinus halepensis and Quercus coccifera) to specific temperatures in a muffle furnace (200–700 °C). Selected laboratory ash types were also mixed with wettable and water repellent soil material to assess their effect on soil wettability. Over 30% of ash samples from the wildfire sites exhibited water repellency (WR), with WDPT levels ranging from low to extreme. This variability appears to be related to differences in fire severity, combustion completeness of the biomass, vegetation type and subsequent rainfall events. The laboratory-generated ash exhibited a greater frequency and persistence of water repellency at lower furnace temperatures (200–300 °C), with ash from R. officinalis being generally less water repellent than that derived from the other two species. The water repellency levels of ash correlated well with TOC (r = 0.80), whereas neither of these parameters correlated very well with ash colour (r = 0.57 for TOC and r = 0.59 for WR). This suggests that ash colour, which is widely used as a parameter in classifying burn severity in the field, may not necessarily be a very accurate indicator. Adding water repellent ash to wettable soil induced WR, whereas the addition of wettable ash to water repellent soil had the opposite effect. A wetting–drying cycle can reduce the water repellency of a soil–ash mixture. There were substantial differences between wildfire- and laboratory-generated ash in terms of organic carbon content and colour, suggesting that the combustion conditions in a furnace may not adequately represent those in wildfires. In contrast to what is generally assumed, our findings demonstrate that ash from vegetation fires can be water repellent. This is likely to have implications for runoff responses and nutrient fluxes not only when ash is present on the ground surface, but also following its redistribution and incorporation into the soil.
The Effect of Low-GDP Solution on Ultrafiltration and Solute Transport in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Background Several studies have reported benefits for human peritoneal mesothelial cell function of a neutral-pH dialysate low in glucose degradation products (GDPs). However, the effects of low-GDP solution on ultrafiltration (UF), transport of solutes, and control of body water remain elusive. We therefore investigated the effect of low-GDP solution on UF, solute transport, and control of body water. Methods Among 79 new continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients, 60 completed a 12-month protocol (28 in a lactate-based high-GDP solution group, 32 in a lactate-based low-GDP solution group). Clinical indices—including 24-hour UF volume (UFV), 24-hour urine volume (UV), residual renal function, and dialysis adequacy—were measured at months 1, 6, and 12. At months 1, 6, and 12, UFV, glucose absorption, 4-hour dialysate-to-plasma (D/P) creatinine, and 1-hour D/P Na + were assessed during a modified 4.25% peritoneal equilibration test (PET). Body composition by bioelectric impedance analysis was measured at months 1 and 12 in 26 CAPD patients. Results Daily UFV was lower in the low-GDP group. Despite similar solute transport and aquaporin function, the low-GDP group also showed lower UFV and higher glucose absorption during the PET. Factors associated with UFV during the PET were lactate-based high-GDP solution and 1-hour D/P Na + . No differences in volume status and obesity at month 12 were observed, and improvements in hypervolemia were equal in both groups. Conclusions Compared with the high-GDP group, the low-GDP group had a lower UFV during a PET and a lower daily UFV during the first year after peritoneal dialysis initiation. Although the low-GDP group had a lower daily UFV, no difficulties in controlling edema were encountered.

2-Local Isometries on Spaces of Lipschitz Functions

Abstract Let ( X , d ) be a metric space, and let Lip( X ) denote the Banach space of all scalar-valued bounded Lipschitz functions ƒ on X endowed with one of the natural norms where L ( ƒ ) is the Lipschitz constant of ƒ . It is said that the isometry group of Lip( X ) is canonical if every surjective linear isometry of Lip( X ) is induced by a surjective isometry of X . In this paper we prove that if X is bounded separable and the isometry group of Lip( X ) is canonical, then every 2-local isometry of Lip( X ) is a surjective linear isometry. Furthermore, we give a complete description of all 2-local isometries of Lip( X ) when X is bounded.
Why Did Alfred Blalock and Helen Taussig Not Receive the Nobel Prize?

From the 1940s to the 1960s, the number of cardiac surgeons nominated for the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine grew rapidly. These nominations pinpoint major developments ranging from the first closed extracardiac operations to the era of complete intracardiac repair and treatment of congenital heart diseases. The aim of this article is to present the motivations for the numerous Nobel Prize nominations for the cardiac surgeon Alfred Blalock and the pediatric cardiologist Helen B. Taussig, and to show why the Nobel committee finally chose not to award them for the development of the Blalock-Taussig shunt.The authors have gathered and analyzed files on Blalock and Taussig from the Nobel Prize archive for Physiology and Medicine in Solna, Sweden.More than forty scholars, primarily from the United States and Europe, nominated Blalock and Taussig for the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Such a strong transatlantic support is rare for nominated surgeons. The authors discuss why the number of Nobel Prize nominations for cardiac surgeons in general reached a climax around the 1950s and formulate open research questions on why relatively few surgeons have received the prestigious prize for the development of surgical procedures.
Osteoprotegerin deficiency attenuates the dual effect of strontium on bone

quality profile of subjects with and without non-traumatic hip fracture non-invasively. Methods: Hip fractured postmenopausal women (n=25) and ageand gender-matched normal controls (n=38) were recruited. The bone quality at the non-dominant distal radius and non-fracture (fracture group)/non-dominant (control group) of distal tibia were measured by HR-pQCT (XtremeCT, Scanco Medical AG). HR-pQCT, with 82 mm resolution, provided volumetric trabecular BMD (Dtrab), cortical BMD (Dcort), bone to tissue volume (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) and trabecular separation (Tb.Sp). Independent t-test was used for between-group analysis. Results: Similar age and body weight were found in both groups. At the distal tibia, all vBMDs, including total BMD, Dtrab and Dcort, were significantly lower in the hip fracture (HF) group (−26.2 to −7.5%; all, p<0.02). For bone microarchitecture parameters, lower BV/TV (−21.2%; p=0.02) and higher Tb.Sp (+56.4%; p=0.02), were found in the HF group. Moreover, the HF group had significantly smaller cortical bone area (−30.5%; p<0.01) and cortical thickness (−32.5%; p<0.01), while bone area in the trabecular region was significantly larger (+14.5%; p=0.02) as compared with the control group. Similar findings were also found at the distal radius. Discussion and conclusion: Lower vBMDs and poor bone microarchitecture at both distal tibia and radius were found in the hip fracture group as compared with those of the control. In addition to BMD, our results suggested that poor bone microarchitecture was associated with hip fracture. Of all the parameters, trabecular separation was more sensitive in detecting patient with hip fracture. Smaller cortical bone area and cortical thickness together with larger trabecular bone area are typical structural deterioration in osteoporotic patients with significant trabecularization or osteoporosis of cortical bone. Our HR-pQCT findings may imply cortical thinning was also observed in hip fracture group. Bone structural information and BMD, measured by non-invasive HR-pQCT with low radiation, help us understand the characteristics of patients with hip fracture.
