Drogistische Dichtung
Authors: Beßlich Barbara 
Published: December 2016

Abstract The late work of Peter Altenberg has been neglected by scholars. This essay analyses the book Prodrŏmŏs (1905) and aims to show how Altenberg anticipates central theses and stylistic notions of expressionism. The focus is on the peculiar form of the text as well as on its whimsical language which includes advertising slogans, pharmaceutical advice and entwines questions of aesthetics and drugstore goods. Altenberg reflects in numerous ways on the departure from Decadence, debates healthy nutrition in the context of the Life Reform Movement and frequently addresses questions of digestion - often in a strange and bizarre manner. Altenberg varies these themes in his book Neues Altes (1911). The study concludes with a look at the reception of Altenberg by the expressionists who rightly extolled him as their household god.

Abstract Mein Beitrag zu dieser Forschungsdiskussion will die (noch immer nicht unbestrittene) Notwendigkeit der Fachgeschichte im disziplinären Aufgabenspektrum der Philologien für eine produktiv-kontinuierliche Wissenschaftsentwicklung betonen. Ich stütze mich dabei vor allem auf persönliche Erfahrungen von mehr als 50 Jahren in der germanistischen ›academia‹; zudem beziehe ich mich dankbar auf das diesbezügliche Engagement von Lutz Danneberg und (ohne explizite Verweise) auf seine Publikationen, insbesondere auf die Einleitung, die er mit Andrea Albrecht, Carlos Spoerhase und Dirk Werle für diesen Band verfasst hat.
Goethe, Humboldt und die »Hydra der Empirie«
Authors: Hentschel Uwe 
Published: December 2016

AbstractIn the age of enlightenment, travelling was thought to result in an expansion of the horizons of one’s knowledge and experience. Aside from ethnologists, who gathered statistical data, and authors, who undertook travel to convey their experiences in effective literary ways, there was also a small group of intellectuals who endeavored to make sense of the regions that they travelled to or through by delving into the particularities characteristic of these areas. However, in their desire to penetrate to the essence of things, these intellectuals found themselves confronted by the necessity of mastering the »hydra of empirical reality« (Goethe). Goethe and Wilhelm von Humboldt both made the attempt to surmount this obstacle, at times in close contact with each other, during the journeys they made around the turn of the century. But both came to recognize, in equal measure, that the genre of travel literature did not suit their purposes of conveying the results of their experiences and impressions.

Published: December 2016

Abstract
This article is a numerical investigation of boundary layer flow of nanofluid over a bended stretching surface. The study is carried out by considering convective mass flux condition. Contribution of viscous dissipation is taken into the account along with thermal radiation. Suitable similarity transformations are employed to simplify the system of nonlinear partial differential equations into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Computational results are extracted by means of a shooting method embedded with a Runge-Kutta Fehlberg technique. Key findings include that velocity is a decreasing function of curvature parameter K. Moreover, Nusselt number decreases with increase in curvature of the stretching surface while skin friction and Sherwood number enhance with increase in K.

Abstract
Liao, L-R, and Pang, MYC. Effect of whole-body vibration on neuromuscular activation of leg muscles during dynamic exercises in individuals with stroke. J Strength Cond Res 31(7): 1954–1962, 2017—This study examined the leg muscle activity during exposure to different whole-body vibration (WBV) intensities while performing various dynamic exercises in patients with chronic stroke. Thirty patients with chronic stroke performed a series of dynamic exercises under 3 conditions: (a) low-intensity WBV (peak acceleration: 0.96 units of gravity of Earth [g]), (b) high-intensity WBV (1.61 g), and (c) no WBV. Neuromuscular activation was recorded with surface electromyography (EMG) on bilateral biceps femoris (BF), vastus lateralis, tibialis anterior (TA), and gastrocnemius (GS) in both legs and was reported as EMGrms (root mean square) normalized to % maximal voluntary contraction. The EMG amplitude of all tested muscles was significantly increased by adding WBV during dynamic exercise (p ≤ 0.05). The EMG amplitude of BF, TA, and GS during exposure to high-intensity WBV was significantly greater than low-intensity WBV (p ≤ 0.05). The increase in EMG amplitude caused by WBV was exercise dependent in GS and TA (p ≤ 0.05). The EMG response to WBV in GS and BF in the affected leg was significantly greater than the corresponding muscles in the unaffected leg (p ≤ 0.05). The extent of WBV-induced muscle activity was dependent on the dynamic exercise, WBV intensity, and muscle trained among patients with chronic stroke.

Abstract
Dos'Santos, T, Jones, PA, Comfort, P, and Thomas, C. Effect of different onset thresholds on isometric midthigh pull force-time variables. J Strength Cond Res 31(12): 3463–3473, 2017—Various thresholds have been used to identify the onset of contraction during isometric midthigh pull (IMTP); however, no agreed onset threshold exists for this assessment. The purpose of this study was to compare relative body weight (BW) and arbitrary onset thresholds to a criterion onset threshold 5 SDs of BW for IMTP force-time variables; force at each threshold, peak force, time-specific force values (100, 150, and 200 ms), and rate of force development (RFD) during 0–100, 0–150, 0–200 ms. Academy rugby league players (n = 9, age: 18.5 ± 0.4 years; height: 1.82 ± 0.09 m; mass: 91.2 ± 13.1 kg) performed 2 IMTP trials on a force platform sampling at 1,000 Hz. The neutral force-time data pool (18 trials) was analyzed with five different thresholds and compared with criterion threshold to determine any variance in force-time variables. Five SDs of BW were significantly lower than 10% BW and 75 N for threshold force which led to significantly greater time-specific force values at 100 and 150 ms and unacceptable limits of agreements (LOA) for all force-time variables. No significant differences (p > 0.05) were observed between 2.5% and 5 SDs of BW; and between 5% and 5 SDs of BW for threshold force and all force-time variables with acceptable LOA. The 5 SDs of BW and 2.5% BW onset thresholds consistently resulted in the lowest values for threshold force, time-specific force values, and RFD, attributed to a lower onset bias. Therefore, scientists and practitioners are recommended to use a 5 SD of BW onset threshold for time-specific force values and RFD for accurate data because it accounts for signal noise during the weighing period. Subsequently, there is greater certainty that the onset of contraction identifies a true meaningful change in force, in contrast to relative BW thresholds.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING PROFESSIONALS COMMONLY DEPEND ON EVIDENCE TO GUIDE “WHAT THEY COACH” (E.G., PROGRAMMING), BUT THE SAME CANNOT ALWAYS BE SAID FOR THEIR APPROACH TO “HOW THEY COACH” (E.G., INSTRUCTION). CONSEQUENTLY, PROFESSIONALS HAVE ADOPTED THE CONVENTIONAL VIEW THAT COACHING IS MORE ART THAN SCIENCE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE ARE DECADES OF RESEARCH ELUCIDATING THE SCIENCE UNDERPINNING THIS SO-CALLED ART. IN LIGHT OF THIS GAP, THIS ARTICLE WILL DELVE INTO THIS UNDERPINNING SCIENCE AND PROVIDE AN EVIDENCE-BASED FRAMEWORK FOR INSTRUCTION AND CUEING THROUGH THE LENS OF LINEAR SPEED DEVELOPMENT.

There were investigated grape marc spirits regarding their safety on consumers. Major volatile compounds which present risk to human health (such as methanol, furfural, and acetaldehyde) and ethyl alcohol content were compared to European Union Regulation and other values found in previous studies. The aim of our study was to evaluate the safety of grape marc spirits considering their content in major volatile compounds by comparison with the requirements of European Union Regulation. We investigated the ethyl alcohol content by electronic densimetry and 10 major volatile compounds (acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, methanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, isobutyl alcohol, isoamyl alcohol, amyl active alcohol and furfural) by Gas Chromatography coupled with Flame Ionization Detector. We used reference chemicals to identify these compounds and 3-pentanol as internal standard to quantify the volatiles. Results were compared with the requirements of European Union Regulation. All major volatile compounds registered values in accordance to EU Regulation and the grape pomace spirits samples do not present any kind of risk for consumption.

Published: December 2016

Pesticide residues and microbial load on the surface of fresh fruits and vegetables becomes a major concern due to the safety and quality of these products for consumer.In order to minimize these risk factors (pesticide residues and microbial load), were achieved labels for fruits and vegetables that are consumed with shell which disintegrates under the influence of water jet and thus reduce the amount of these contaminants. Were elaborated labels based on polymer (chitosan) at a concentration of 2%, which incorporate bioactive compounds from green tea with potential decontaminant of the peel of this products. Green tea extract was obtained by infusing 1 g of dried green tea in 100 ml water at 80° C for 10 minutes. The extract was filtered and then mixed with 2 g chitosan acidified with 0.7% glacial acetic acid and dilute to the mark with distilled water. Were identified bioactive compounds from green tea, using UV-VIS and HPLC. Then were elaborated the labels. These tags were used on pepper, tomato, apple and nectarine. Were quantified the microbial load and the pesticide residues on their surface unwashed, washed only with water and were monitored the influence of labels on these factors. Identified pesticides were mefenoxan and thiamethoxam, which were quantified by HPLC. In what it concerns the influence, were founded the absence of germs at pepper and a significant decrease at the other. In terms of the potential of reducing pesticide, the experimental results have indicated that the label can prove its effectiveness.

Abstract. It is known for a long time that seasoning/condimentary herbs have antioxidant activity and antibacterial properties, being good natural alternatives for disease prevention. The different efficiency of these plants is assigned to their bioactive molecules, stability and bioavailability. In the present study seven aromatic herbs (basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary, clove, cinnamon and sage) were investigated individually. A new product was developed using basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary, clove, cinnamon and sage, according to a default recipe. The characterization of each plant aimed to identify the specific “fingerprint” by its main bioactive molecules and the “traceability” of these molecules in the new product, made by mixing the selected plants according to a default recipe. In order to determine the main bioactive compounds of the individual plants composition, in comparison with the new plant-based (EPC) formula, high throughput techniques like UV-Vis spectroscopy and LC-QTOF-MS spectrometry were used. The most important bioactive compounds determined in the studied herbs, which may exert antioxidant activity and antibacterial properties, were phenolic compounds (phenolic acids, flavonoids), quinones, clorophylls as well some polar terpenoids. The fingerprints are providing comprehensive and accurate information about the compounds that may exert antimicrobial properties. In order to assure the biological effects and the bioavailability of the polyphenols and the secondary metabolites we have to consider the antagonistic and synergistic effect that the metabolites can exert on each other.

Published: December 2016

Romania assists at the present time to an increase of production crops for ornamental plants and as a consequence an increased demand of planting material. Thus, improvements of the current multiplication methods are sought after. Lisianthus russelianus Hook. (Eustoma grandiflorum Grise.) is a relatively new floral crop to the international market, known for beautiful flowers of various colors and for having a long vase life. This study focused on the development of an efficient protocol for rapid regeneration of this species following known basic and applied aspects of lisianthus biotechnology but exploring new potentials. In the course of experiments conducted, for in vitro multiplication there were used nodal segments (1.5 cm) with axillary buds from three F1 hybrids ‘Echo Lavender’, ‘Flamenco White’, ‘Mirage Pastel Pink’ that were inoculated on MS basal medium supplemented with 0.50 mg 1-1 TDZ, 1.0 mg 1-1 BAP and 0.50 mg 1-1 AIA. The results show that the medium with BAP was most effective for obtaining the highest shoots number compared to medium containing TDZ. For rooting induction, two different concentrations of auxin IBA 0.5 mg 1-1 and 1.5 mg 1-1 were used simultaneously on MS basal medium. The highest roots number occurred when using 1.5 mg 1-1 IBA. Both the number of shoots and rooting regeneration were dependent on the cultivar. The highest shoots number was achieved for ’Mirage Pastel Pink’ hybrid (6.91) on the medium containing 1.0 mg 1-1 BAP and 0.50 mg 1-1 IAA.
