description: The rural Galician world is one of the few places in the XXI century world, where death is normally distanced from day to day living, where the graveyards continue to persist. These funerary compounds maintain the mediaeval tradition of the funerary space associated and in continuity with churches. The rural population, resisting by all possible means to the removal of the cemeteries from urban areas, keeps on maintaining a strong relationship with their forefathers.This article deals with the architectural analysis of these spaces, in a topological perspective,  because of the evocative image that the church-graveyard unit manifest in the rural landscape. Its relation with the church and urban center are analyzed and summarized in a typological classification that filters the specific cases of study.
description: La campagna galiziana è una delle poche zone in cui nel XXI secolo non si tese ad allontanare la morte dalla vita quotidiana. I cimiteri continuano ad esistere, intesi come luoghi di sepoltura che mantengono la tradizione medievale dello spazio funerario vincolato e in continuità con la chiesa. Le popolazioni rurali, oltre a rifiutarsi in tutti modi possibili di allontanare i cimiteri dai loro nuclei abitativi, continuano ad avere uno stretto rapporto con i loro avi.Questo articolo affronta il tema dell'analisi architettonica di questi spazi, dal  punto di vista topologico, per via dell'immagine suggestiva che la coppia chiesa-cimitero manifesta nel mondo rurale. Si analizza il suo rapporto con la chiesa e con la popolazione, sintetizzando lo studio in una classificazione tipologica che aiuta a filtrare i temi sviluppati.

description: We present the enlargement plan of an isolated cemetery in a small town of the west Sicily as it exemplifies some way to carry out the design for an “addition”. The enlargement faces a still readable and characteristic nineteenth-century building. Even introducing unavoidable innovative characteristics, the architecture we designed tries to resolve the  difficult relationship between the new portion and the old cemetery, bell shaped, in steep slope above the town. The recovery of this place for collective memory, once realized as a closed enclosure, is realized by the mediation of a space which seeks to maintain, recover and reinforce the identity of places altered in the last years by uncontrolled interventions, returning the same memory to the town.
description: Presentiamo il progetto di ampliamento di un cimitero isolato di una cittadina della Sicilia occidentale in quanto esemplificativo del modo di affrontare il progetto dell’“addizione”. L’ampliamento si confronta con un ancora leggibile caratteristico impianto ottocentesco. Pur introducendo caratteri necessariamente innovativi, l’architettura progettata cerca di risolvere il difficile rapporto tra il nuovo impianto ed il vecchio cimitero dalla speciale forma a “campana”, in un sito in forte pendenza, a monte dell’abitato. Il recupero del luogo della memoria collettiva, depositata nel segno di un recinto chiuso, viene pensato attraverso l’intermediazione di uno spazio che cerca di mantenere, recuperandola e rafforzandola, l’identità dei luoghi, alterati negli ultimi anni da interventi incontrollati, restituendo la memoria stessa alla città.

description: The burial sites are destined to promote and protect the feelings of grief related to loss, indicating by means of a symbolic representation, a possible way of consolation, hope, reassurance and a serene feeling of remembrance: memory preserves and reassures; cemeteries are therefore witnesses of different cultural and religious identities. The images of cities keep on showing places intended and designed for memory; these places show us the inability of our culture to re-compose an aware dialogue with death and to recognize it as an essential part of existence. The social transformations call us to reflect on burial places: there is a urgent need for new feelings, and for new spaces designed to become places of understanding and interfaith dialogue between religious and civil different forms of spirituality.
description: I luoghi di sepoltura sono destinati a diffondere e proteggere il sentimento di lutto legato alla perdita e ad indicarne, attraverso una rappresentazione simbolica, una via possibile di consolazione e di un sereno ricordo, essi sono testimoni delle diverse identità culturali e religiose: la memoria custodisce e rassicura.Il tema continua a segnare la nostra esistenza: le immagini delle città ci raccontano ancora di  luoghi destinati al ricordo; essi testimoniano anche l’incapacità della nostra cultura di ri-comporre un dialogo consapevole con la morte.Le trasformazioni sociali in atto ci impongono una riflessione sui luoghi di sepoltura: c'è urgenza di nuove spazialità destinate a rappresentare il luogo della comprensione e del dialogo religioso e civile tra le diverse forme di spiritualità.

description: When scientists look for keys to unlock problems such as quantum teleportation or faster internet speeds, answers can sometimes be found in the natural world. Controlling light at the nanoscale is necessary to develop the next generation of optical chips (integrated circuits which use light instead of electronics), but one of the missing pieces of the puzzle is a suitable device that could block or direct the flow of light based on its polarisation---until now. In Nature Photonics today, we (along with colleagues from Australia and Germany) show how we achieved this goal by making artificial crystals with unique light polarising properties inspired by the wings of a butterfly.

description: Trees and flowers have always played an important role in the construction of spaces of human life. Even more in the design of burial places, nature and architecture merge and complement each other. They enhance the composition with symbols of mourning and commemoration, both in the structure of the enclosure and in the decoration of graves. Some issues of topical interest in funerary architecture can be positively resolved with a conscious use of the vegetation in all its aspects and qualities. The rediscovery of historical and symbolic art of the gardens must be integrated with the requirements of management and maintenance of public and private green within the cemetery, and mostly with the claim of quality, beauty and meaning by the contemporary city.
description: Alberi e fiori hanno sempre giocato un ruolo primario nella costruzione degli spazi della vita umana. Ancor più nel progetto dei luoghi funerari, natura ed architettura si fondono e si completano vicendevolmente, arricchendo la composizione con simbologie legate al lutto ed alla commemorazione, dall’impianto del recinto alla decorazione delle sepolture. Alcuni temi di stringente attualità dell’architettura funebre possono trovare soluzione positiva nell’uso consapevole della vegetazione in tutti i suoi aspetti e qualità, integrando la riscoperta dei valori storici e simbolici dell’arte dei giardini con le esigenze di gestione e manutenzione del verde pubblico e privato all’interno dei recinti e più in generale con la domanda di qualità, bellezza e ricchezza di significato da parte della città contemporanea.

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Public Health.
subject: Sociology, Demography.

description: Objectives. To examine the association of income inequality at the public health unit level with individual health in Ontario. Design. Cross sectional multilevel study. Individual-level data drawn from 30,939 respondents in Ontario Health Survey 1996--1997. Median area income and income inequality calculated from 1996 census data, the latter using Gini coefficient. Setting. 37 public health units in Ontario. Subjects. Ontario residents aged 25 years or older. Main outcome measures. Self-rated health status and the Health Utility Index. Results Controlling for individual-level factors, respondents living in public health units in the highest income inequality tercile had odds ratios of 1.25 (95% CI 1.10--1.42) for fair/poor self-rated health, and 1.14 (95% CI 1.04--1.25) for a Health Utility Index score <1, compared with people living in public health units in the lowest tercile. Controlling further for median area income had little effect on the association. Conclusions. Income inequality was significantly associated with individual health status independent of individual income at public health unit level in Ontario.

description: In this paper, we present the possibility of using pea protein isolates as a stabilizer for hempseed oil (HSO)-based water/oil emulsions in conjunction with lecithin as a co-surfactant. A Box-Behnken design was employed to build polynomial models for optimization of the ultrasonication process to prepare the emulsions. The stability of the system was verified by droplet size measurements using dynamic light scattering (DLS) as well as centrifugation and thermal challenge tests. The z-ave droplet diameters of optimized emulsion were 209 and 207 nm after preparation and 1 week storage, respectively. The concentration of free Linoleic acid (C18:2; n-6) was used for calculation of entrapment efficiency in prepared nanoemulsions. At optimum conditions of the process, up to 98.63% ± 1.95 of entrapment was achieved. FTIR analysis and rheological tests were also performed to evaluate the quality of oil and emulsion, and to verify the close-to-water like behavior of the prepared samples compared to the viscous nature of the original oil. Obtained results confirmed the high impact of lecithin and pea protein concentrations on the emulsion droplet size and homogeneity confirmed by microscopic imaging. The presented results are the first steps towards using hempseed oil-based emulsions as a potential food additive carrier, such as flavor. Furthermore, the good stability of the prepared nanoemulsion gives opportunities for potential use in biomedical and cosmetic applications.
Low-pressure reverse osmosis membrane treatment of landfill leachate.
Creators: name: Hurd, Sarah M.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Sanitary and Municipal.

description: The fear that contaminated leachate could escape from the Trail Road Municipal Landfill Site, and the need for a cost-effective on-site treatment alternative, has led to an evaluation of the options for treating the leachate. One treatment option being examined is the use of low-pressure reverse osmosis (RO), which is becoming increasingly attractive with the development of new technology. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the technical feasibility of this treatment process for synthetic and real landfill leachate. Membrane 'coupon' experiments were conducted to study three types of low-pressure membranes (supplied by Hydranautics, Fluid Systems, and Saehan Industries), to determine the membrane with the highest permeate flux and rejection capabilities, to conduct statistical analysis on the testing apparatus and to test how the selected membrane was able to cope with different concentrations of synthetic leachate at different operating pressures. Membrane 'coupon' experiments were conducted on the Hydranautics' membrane with actual Trail Road leachate to determine the effect of leachate concentration and operating pressure on the product flux and on the TOC, NH3, and the Cl-- removal efficiencies. Tests on Trail Road leachate samples were conducted with a lab-scale Hydranautics' spiral-wound membrane at operating pressures of 40, 50, and 60 psi (276, 345, and 413 kN/m2).

description: The architecture of the tomb and of cemeteries expresses the concept of the house and the city. It features their typology, as a consequence of social behaviour. The crisis of cemeteries that follows the impairment of architectural quality in the postwar interventions corresponds to the identity crisis of both contemporary society and urban periphery, since architecture reflects the values of the ones who inhabit the city, such as the house shows those of its owners. The architectural survey of Parma cemetery explains the relationship between architecture and society in the relations between collective and individual burials. The generalization of this example provides tools for understanding the evolution of funerary architecture in the definition of settlements and housing types, which express the changing values of the society.
description: L’architettura del sepolcro e del cimitero esprimono rispettivamente un modello ridotto della casa e della città, che caratterizza il rapporto tra tipo insediativo e tipo abitativo in forme che rispecchiano il gusto e il costume coevi. La crisi dei cimiteri legata allo scadimento della qualità architettonica degli interventi del dopoguerra corrisponde alla crisi identitaria della società e della periferia contemporanea, perché l’architettura rispecchia i valori di chi la abita e la città quelli di chi la vive. I rilievi del cimitero della Villetta a Parma documentano il rapporto tra l’articolazione architettonica e la struttura sociale nelle relazioni formali tra le sepolture collettive e quelle individuali. La generalizzazione dell’esempio specifico offre elementi per la comprensione del rapporto tra significato e significante nell’evoluzione dell’architettura funeraria nella definizione di tipi insediativi e abitativi coerenti con i valori sociali di una società in continua trasformazione.

description: La poesie est, chaque fois, a reinventer. Elle existe en prenant forme(s) et sens une nouvelle fois dans le poeme, qui en porte l'achevement et l'inachevement. Chaque poeme porte trace de la fin et du (re)commencement de la poesie--et, comme l'ecrivait Rene Char, seules les traces font rever. Nous proposons donc, dans un premier temps, une suite de poemes courts en vers, ou s'inscrivent la solitude, cette presence pleniere, ainsi que l'incertitude devant l'inconnu et le nouveau, devant chaque nouveau poeme, toujours etranger a nous-meme, toujours etranger a la poesie, jusqu'a ce qu'il prenne "corps" en nous, en dehors de nous et, peut-etre, contre nous. La deuxieme partie offrira une reflexion critique etablie a partir d'un "dialogue" avec la poesie de Rene Char. Ce "dialogue" s'articulera autour de trois axes: la "metapoesie", qui constitue l'une des composantes majeures de la poesie contemporaine; l'"aphorisme", cette forme fragmentee de l'ecriture faite poesie; et le "desir", cet "avant-monde" qui constitue l'enjeu meme de toute ecriture, de tout poeme. A travers notre these en creation, nous avons tente, des lors, d'acceder a la "co-naissance" poetique, selon le mot de Claudel, dans sa double exigence d'acte createur et de processus reflexif.

description: The common imaginary of a cemetery directly derives from the nineteenth century model which stood for many years at the origin of contemporary cemeteries.Does designing cemeteries still make sense today, in an increasing virtual or digital society, where the memory is less and less tied to the place of burial and where the napoleonic laws do not corespond anymore to the technological vision of the world in which we live?It’s time to start rethinking the very concept of cemetery as a place enclosed in a fence. That cemeteries are bying is a fact. Their decomposition has already begun inside metropolis, and even if it may be still unthinkable, it will soon become unavoidable and sooner or later an evidence.So, it seems that we have to accept this: the cemetery is dead. Rest in peace.
description: L’immagine che si ha di un cimitero è quella che deriva dal modello ottocentesco, per tanti anni rimasto matrice dei cimiteri attuali.Ha senso ancora oggi progettare cimiteri, in una società sempre più digitale e virtuale, dove il ricordo, la memoria sono sempre meno legati al luogo di sepoltura, dove le direttive napoleoniche risultano superate e non più rispondenti alla visione tecnologica del mondo in cui viviamo?È il momento di cominciare a ripensare il concetto stesso di cimitero, oltre la realtà che lo configura come un  luogo relegato in un recinto.Che i cimiteri stiano morendo è un dato di fatto. La loro decomposizione è già cominciata nelle grandi metropoli, impensabile ma inevitabile.Bisogna cominciare a farsene una ragione, com’è inteso oggi:il cimitero è morto. Pace all’anima sua.

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Nursing.

description: The purpose of the study was to describe and compare, in a tertiary care setting, the prevalence and severity of pressure ulcers in the neuroscience population to a non-neuroscience population. This study was guided by a conceptual schema that provided a physiological basis for the development of pressure ulcers. The presence of contributory clinical risk factors was compared between the two populations. The neuroscience population included patients admitted to the neurology and neurosurgery services (40 bed unit) while the remainder of the hospital population comprised the non-neuroscience population. A secondary analysis method was used to compare data obtained from four annual pressure ulcer prevalence studies conducted from 1993--1996. The instruments used were the Demographic and Clinical Profile Form, a Prevalence Grid and the Braden Scale for Pressure Sore Risk. Trend analysis and yearly comparisons were conducted with a level of statistical significance set at p = 0.05 level with a clinically important difference of ten percent or greater.

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Oncology.

description: In the present study, we have used cultures of established cell lines of cisplatin (CDDP)-sensitive human ovarian epithelial tumours (OV2008 and A2780-s) and their resistant variants (C13* and A2780-cp, respectively) to assess the role of Fas/FasL system in the chemo-responsiveness of ovarian cancer cells to CDDP. CDDP was effective in inducing the expression of cell-associated Fas and FasL, sFasL and apoptosis in a concentration and time-dependent fashion in both OV2008 and A2780-s cell lines. In contrast, while CDDP was effective in increasing cell-associated Fas protein content in C13*, it failed to upregulate FasL and sFasL and induce apoptosis, irrespective of concentration and duration of CDDP treatment. In the resistant A2780-cp cells, neither Fas nor FasL upregulation and apoptosis were evident in the presence of CDDP. Addition of concentrated spent media from OV2008 after CDDP on C13* cells demonstrates a low level of apoptotic activity which is partially blocked by a Fas antagonistic Ab. Activation of the Fas signaling pathway, by addition to the cultures an agonistic Fas mAb, was effective in inducing apoptosis in both OV2008 and C13*. A significant interaction between CDDP and Fas agonist mAb was observed in the apoptotic response in OV2008 and C13* when cultured in the presence of both agents. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: In 18th and 19th century the debate on cemeteries should not ignore the reflections of architects and engineers. The codification of new ways of burial is either the goal and the tool in hand of the secular government to manage the last passage and it is the start point for the development of a cult of tombs and of new forms and ways of remembering.Projects and accomplishments testify the necessity of a formal arrangement of cemeteries and of disposal of dead bodies, the definition of separate spaces, pantheon, monuments. This phenomenon can not be separated from the dialogue with the religions and customs.Through the study of projects and ideas of architects is possible to describe, from an architectural point of view, the evolution of the civil cult of the dead.
description: Il dibattito sette-ottocentesco sui cimiteri non deve prescindere dalla riflessione architettonica ed ingegneristica. La codificazione dei modelli delle nuove necropoli è alternativamente fine e strumento della presa in gestione dell’ultimo passaggio da parte delle amministrazioni laiche ed è alla base dello svilupparsi di un culto delle tombe e dei morti e di nuove forme e modi del ricordo.Progetti e realizzazioni testimoniano la necessità di una sistemazione formale delle aree cimiteriali e le impellenze di “smaltimento” dei cadaveri, la definizione di spazi distinti, pantheon, monumenti. Un fenomeno questo che non prescinde dal dialogo con le confessioni e le consuetudini.Attraverso lo studio dei progetti e delle riflessioni degli architetti è possibile iniziare a descrivere l'evolversi sotto l'aspetto architettonico del culto civile dei morti.

Proton affinities of organic molecules by the kinetic method and a mass spectrometric study of immonium ions by tandem mass spectrometry.
Creators: name: Cao, Jie.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Analytical.

description: The systematic study of the kinetic method has been carried out by observing a wide variety of proton-bound pairs consisting of amines, nitriles and alkanols using tandem mass spectrometry. The majority of the compounds studied were homologous alkyl series. The results were obtained for other selected amines such as pyridine, allylamine, benzylamine and phenylethylamine. The proton affinities of many of these compounds are well established in the NIST database, although some needed either to be revised or to be given their first experimental values. For the competitive dissociations of proton-bound dimers, which were studied under MI and CID conditions, the relative product yields, [B 1H+]/[B2H+], have been related to the proton affinities (PA) of B1 and B2 by the kinetic method. In its simplest form, the method assumes that there are no entropy effects and a zero reverse energy barrier for the competing dissociations. The general effects expected from non-zero entropies of activation are described in terms of how they influence log k(rate constant) vs. E(internal energy) plots for such competing dissociations. For these homologous series such effects were observed to be minimal and the kinetic method well reproduces most of the reference PA values. However, in view of the very close agreement between the present results and many reference PA values obtained from equilibrium studies, it is possible that small reverse energy barriers (ca. 5 kJ mol -1) may in some cases be identifiable by the kinetic method, in particular for t-C4H9NH2, the homologous di-n-alkylamines and possibly larger barriers for di-sec-alkylamines. The method is quite sensitive to small discrepancies in PA and new values have been proposed for C6H5CH2NH2 (923 kJ mol-1), C6H5CH2CH 2NH2 (930 kJ mol-1), (CH3)(n-C 4H9)NH (951 kJ mol-1), (i-C4H 9)2NH (969 kJ mol-1) and for homologous nitriles and alkanols, namely from C5 to C8. The PA value for n-C4H9OH was revised from 789.2 to 793.7 kJ mol-1. Second part of the thesis regards the following aspects: (A) Investigation of the a-cleavage mechanism in simple amine molecular ions and (B) Mass spectrometric studies of immonium ions, CH3CH2CH +NH2 and (CH3)2C+NH 2 and their oxygen analogues.

description: Ferrara is a city where the urban structure is still almost contained within the perimeter of Renaissance walls; the Certosa cemetery is apparently configured as an enclosure within the larger urban perimeter.The dominant theme that characterized Certosa’s transformation plans from monastery to cemetery was the definition of its boundary facing the city: the new arrangement of the ancient building was principally carried out by Ferdinando Canonici (1786-1873). Starting from 1819 he worked out several projects based on the relationship between the cemetery and the city; this relation will be achieved through the placing of a large meadow, a boundary garden, in front of the complex.
description: A Ferrara, città in cui la forma urbana è ancora quasi contenuta all’interno del perimetro delle mura rinascimentali, il cimitero della Certosa si configura apparentemente come un recinto all’interno di quello più ampio della città.Il tema dominante che caratterizzò i progetti del cimitero della Certosa fu la definizione del proprio limite verso la città:  la sistemazione dell’antica costruzione fu seguita principalmente da Ferdinando Canonici (1786-1873) che dal 1819 studierà diversi progetti curandone principalmente il rapporto con la città e definendo anziché un recinto murario un limite costituito da un grande prato, quasi un giardino, antistante al complesso.Questo luogo è diventato oggi un’intera parte di città, una grande architettura che nella sua uniformità si fa scena fissa del paesaggio-teatro urbano ferrarese.

description: The adoption by the United Nations members of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (MIPAA) in the year 2002 has redefined ‘old age’. Before this historical moment, ageing was categorised as a ‘problem’ that needed to be solved by science and medicine. The MIPAA put back the rights of older persons on the national policy agendas guided by the United Nations Principles for Older Persons – independence, participation, care, self-fulfilment, and dignity. In this study, a model is proposed to provide guidance as to how to facilitate directives of the MIPAA into meaningful policy applications. This main premise of the model is that older persons will only be empowered to participate in the life of society, which is a main goal of the MIPAA, if all their rights as espoused by the United Nations Principles for Older Persons are ensured.

description: Micro (mi)RNAs have recently been found to play an important role in cancer biology. In order to further understand how miRNAs affect prostate tumour progression, we evaluated miRNA expression in two invasive prostate tumour lines, PC3 and DU145. We then focused our evaluation on a novel miRNA, miR-105, whose levels were significantly decreased in both tumour cell lines as compared to normal prostate epithelial cells. As miR-105 levels were reduced in prostate tumour cell lines, we restored its expression following transfection of cells with mimic constructs to over-express miR-105 in both cell lines, in order to determine its effect on various tumourigenic properties. Over-expression caused decreased tumour cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth and invasion in vitro and inhibited tumour growth in vivo. We further identified CDK6 as a putative target of miR-105, which likely contributed to its inhibition of tumour cell growth. Our results suggest that miR-105 inhibits tumour cell proliferation and may be an interesting target to regulate tumour growth or potentially used as a biomarker to differentiate between less and more aggressive tumours in patients.

description: Kelp forests underpin temperate coastlines globally but are declining due to ocean change. To understand effects of ocean change on kelp forests, knowledge on the full life cycle is vital. Kelps alternate between diploid adult sporophytes and haploid microscopic gametophytes. Compared to sporophytes, relatively little is known on gametophytes’ role in the overall resilience of kelp forests to ocean change. In this thesis, aspects of kelps microscopic life stage are studied in the context of ocean change through both field and lab studies, using the main canopy forming kelp of Australia, Ecklonia radiata. A comprehensive literature review (Chapter 2) revealed knowledge gaps pertaining to exact timing of transitions between sporophyte and gametophyte, population specific adaptation, as well as ecological interactions of gametophytes. Chapter 3 found that the transition from sporophyte to gametophyte through release of haploid spores is adapted to local environmental conditions in E. radiata. Spore release was dependent on temperature in cooler, higher latitude populations, while in the warm-adapted population spore release related to stochastic events such as storms. Overall, spore release is not likely to be hampered by future ocean change. Chapter 4 revealed local adaptation is present in the gametophyte stage, and population-specific thermal tolerances were found to be 2-3°C higher than maximum in situ temperatures. Population-specific projections to a 2050 future under RCP8.5 revealed E. radiata gametophytes are likely to be resilient to future ocean warming, with minimal changes (0-30%) in survival throughout its eastern Australian range. However, ocean warming is not the only threat to kelp persistence. Replacement by fast growing turfing algae, as well as overgrazing by urchins contribute to kelp decline. The role of gametophytes in these ecological interactions remains unresolved. Chapter 5 and 6 showed that grazers present in turf algae, as well as juvenile urchins can reduce gametophyte abundance. However, they also facilitated recruitment into sporophytes through ingestion, though not under simulated ocean warming (26°C). This novel interaction indicates there may be a larger role for small grazers in kelp persistence than previously thought. Gametophyte recruitment following ingestion was not facilitated by the range-expanding urchin Centrostephanus rodgersii. This indicates a possible pathway in which C. rodgersii surpresses recruitment of E. radiata. While stage transitions to sporophytes may require certain conditions, including presence of small grazers and winter temperatures, gametophytes of E. radiata are overall likely resilient to ocean change and do not present a bottleneck for kelp forest persistence.

description: Wilhelm Kreis (1873-1955) was a prominent architect and prestigious professor. He directed and conditioned choices while being ambiguously on the margins of political activity, he dominated the architectural scene for almost five decades. Kreis took part in and to a certain extent directed, as architect and master, part of major events in architectural and urban planning that involved the biggest German cities up to the fall of the Third Reich. Together with Bonatz, Behrens, Tessenow, Kreis can be considered one of the most influential and unparalleled leaders in German architectural culture - prophet of spirituality and watchman of values from Deutschtum, initially embodied by the Prussian Reich, and subsequently by the Third Reich. His contribution – combining themes and shapes taken from historical tradition – only partially qualifies him as a figure still linked to the ideological cornerstones of the second half of the 19th century.
description: Wilhelm Kreis (1873-1955) fu un celebre architetto e un noto professore. Pur mantenendosi ambiguamente ai margini dell'attività politica, diresse e condizionò scelte importanti e dominò la scena dell'architettura tedesca per quasi cinque decadi. Kreis prese parte come architetto e maestro ai più importanti eventi nell'architettura e nell'urbanistica che coinvolsero le maggiori città tedesche fino alla caduta del Terzo Reich. Con Bonatz, Behrens, Tessenow, Kreis può essere considerato una delle guide più influenti della cultura architettonica tedesca,  profeta della spiritualità tedesca e guardiano dei valori della Germanicità inizialmente rappresentati dal Regime prussiano e poi dal Terzo Reich. Il suo contributo – miscelando forme e temi presi dalla tradizione storica – solo parzialmente lo qualifica come una figura ancora legata ai principali assi ideologici della seconda metà del secolo XIX.

Losses and environmental aspects of a byproduct metal: tellurium

description: Global demand for tellurium has greatly increased owing to its use in solar photovoltaics. Elevated levels of tellurium in the environment are now observed. Quantifying the losses from human usage into the environment requires a life-cycle wide examination of the anthropogenic tellurium cycle (in analogy to natural element cycles). Reviewing the current literature shows that tellurium losses to the environment might occur predominantly as mine tailings, in gas and dust and slag during processing, manufacturing losses, and in-use dissipation (situation in around 2010). Large amounts of cadmium telluride will become available by 2040 as photovoltaic modules currently in-use reach their end-of-life. This requires proper end-of-life management approaches to avoid dissipation to the environment. Because tellurium occurs together with other toxic metals, e.g. in the anode slime collected during copper production, examining the life-cycle wide environmental implication of tellurium production requires consideration of the various substances present in the feedstock as well as the energy and material requirements during production. Understanding the flows and stock dynamics of tellurium in the anthroposphere can inform environmental chemistry about current and future tellurium releases to the environment, and help to manage the element more wisely.
