description: One of the most renowned theater actresses, film actresses, and film acting teachers of her time, Giulia Cassini-Rizzotto was also one of the few female film directors it Italy during the silent cinema era. Possessing wide-ranging interests, she was also engaged in other activities, such as screenwriting and producing, as well as teaching nursery school and authoring short stories. Additionally, she was a correspondent for South American newspapers and a French translator (M.P.R. 1916, 19). Like many of her contemporaries who were involved in both theater and film, Cassini-Rizzotto’s cinematic career was shaped by her theatrical endeavors.
Structuring and restructuring sovereign debt : the role of a bankruptcy regime

Subjects: Debts, Public

description: In an environment characterized by weak contractual enforcement, sovereign lenders can enhance the likelihood of repayment by making their claims more difficult to restructure ex post. We show, however, that competition for repayment between lenders may result in a sovereign debt that is excessively difficult to restructure in equilibrium. This inefficiency may be alleviated by a suitably designed bankruptcy regime that facilitates debt restructuring.

description: Portuguese film pioneer Virgínia de Castro e Almeida is still better known today for her work as an author of children’s books, travel literature, and digests on the history of Portugal. She was married to João da Mota Prego, an agronomist, and lived in France and Switzerland. She took an interest in cinema during the first half of the 1920s, founding the production company Fortuna Films in 1922. The company released two features: A Sereia de Pedra (1922) and Os Olhos da Alma (1923), both written by Castro e Almeida and directed by the French director Roger Lion. In 1923, she took part in the foundation of another production company, Rosy Film, whose only output was the non-extant commercial O Castelo de Chocolate (1923) for the Portuguese chocolate company Suissa. This was the first film by Portuguese director Arthur Duarte, who began as an actor in Fortuna Films’ two features and also starred in O Castelo de Chocolate as a young man in love with a Suissa factory worker. Castro e Almeida’s Fortuna Films was registered both in Lisbon and in Paris and was likely the earliest Portuguese attempt to establish an international film company. To that end, not only did Castro e Almeida choose a French director, but both films also featured several French actors (including Lion’s wife, Gil Clary) and originally premiered in Paris, and only later in Portugal. Castro e Almeida’s two sons were her right-hand men at Fortuna Films, as was Ayres d’Aguiar, a college friend of the two young men who would later have an important career as a film distributor in France.

description: We discuss information-theoretic concepts on infinite-dimensional quantum systems. In particular, we lift the smooth entropy formalism as introduced by Renner and collaborators for finite-dimensional systems to von Neumann algebras. For the smooth conditional min- and max-entropy we recover similar characterizing properties and information-theoretic operational interpretations as in the finite-dimensional case. We generalize the entropic uncertainty relation with quantum side information of Tomamichel and Renner and discuss applications to quantum cryptography. In particular, we prove the possibility to perform privacy amplification and classical data compression with quantum side information modeled by a von Neumann algebra.

Characterization of gene expression patterns in the wild Pacific salmon
Creators: name: Morien, Evan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Declines in Pacific salmon stocks in recent decades have spurred much research into their physiology and survivorship, but comparatively little into their genomics. Sockeye salmon in particular are experiencing high levels of mortality during their migration upriver, and the numbers of returning sockeye have fluxuated wildly with respect to predictions in recent years. The goal of my project is to gain insight into the basic genomics of Pacific salmon stocks, including the sockeye, through bioinformatic approaches to gene expression profiling. Using microarray technology, I have conducted a large-scale analysis of over 1,000 samples from multiple tissues, stocks, and species of salmon. I identified tissue-specific and housekeeping genes and compared them to orthologs in mouse and human, respectively. I have also classified a number of microarray samples with a support vector machine (SVM) using qPCR data showing the presence of several common pathogens affecting Pacific salmon populations. Using identified housekeeping genes as normalizing factors, I modeled in silico a qPCR assay designed to identify salmon as infected or uninfected with a particular pathogen. With these data I hope to increase basic knowledge of the genomics of the Pacific salmon.

description: Carmen Cartellieri was born Franziska Ottilia Cartellieri in Prossnitz, Austria-Hungary, which is today Prostejov, Czech Republic, but spent her childhood in Innsbruck, Austria. In 1907, at age sixteen, she married the aristocratic artist-turned-director, Emanuel Ziffer Edler von Teschenbruck. Her husband and Cornelius Hintner, a cameraman from South Tyrol who had worked for Pathé in Paris and then as a director in Hungary, helped make her one of the most fashionable stars in German-language film of the 1920s. Using the stage name of Carmen Teschen, she appeared in several Hungarian silent films between 1918 and 1919 and made her Austrian film debut in Hintner’s Die Liebe vom Zigeunerstamme/The Gypsy Girl (1919), which she reportedly cowrote. Political changes in postwar Hungary made her relocate to Vienna where she returned to her exotic surname, suggesting to the press that she was born in Italy, and founded the Cartellieri-Film company in 1920 with her husband and Hintner.
Studies in phagosome maturation : modulation by both the host phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase p110alpha and the mycobacterial protein PE-PGRS62
Creators: name: Thi, Emily Phaps
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Phagosome maturation is a key innate immune response involving interactions of phagosomes with the endosomal system. These interactions result in the creation of a destructive, antimicrobial phagolysosome compartment. How this process is regulated is not entirely known, and intracellular pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) inhibit phagosome maturation as a survival strategy. We examined phagosome maturation from the perspective of two factors, one host- and one pathogen-derived. First, we determined whether the class IA phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), p110α, contributes to maturation regulation. Of the various PI3Ks, only hVps34 is known to regulate phagosome maturation. During studies of phagosome maturation in THP-1 cells deficient in p110α, we discovered that this PI3K isoform controls maturation processes beyond Rab7 acquisition, leading to delivery of lysosomal markers. Phagosomes from p110α knockdown cells were markedly deficient in LAMP-1, LAMP-2 and β-galactosidase, and could not fuse with lysosomes. Despite lacking lysosomal components, p110α deficient phagosomes recruited Rab7 and its effectors RILP and HOPS components Vps16 and Vps41, suggesting that in addition to Rab7, p110α is required for phagolysosome formation. We also examined how Mtb mediates phagosome maturation arrest by screening an Mtb genomic library for factors able to disrupt yeast vacuolar protein sorting (VPS). Since VPS is homologous to mammalian endosomal trafficking, factors that inhibit VPS might also arrest phagosome maturation. Four proteins able to disrupt yeast VPS were identified in this screen, two hypothetical proteins, Rv0900 and Rv1268c, the P-type ATPase Rv0425c, and PE-PGRS62. To study its effects on macrophage function, we generated M. smegmatis able to express PE-PGRS62. Murine macrophages infected with this construct had arrested phagosome maturation, displaying decreased Rab7 and LAMP-1 recruitment. Infected macrophages also expressed 2-3 fold less iNOS protein when compared to cells infected with control bacteria. Loss of PE-PGRS62 expression in M. marinum resulted in greater iNOS levels, and complementation of the mutant with PE-PGRS62 restored the ability to inhibit iNOS expression. Marked differences in colony morphology were also seen in M. smegmatis expressing PE-PGRS62 and in the M. marinum PE-PGRS62 transposon mutant. Our results suggest that PE-PGRS62 supports mycobacterial virulence via inhibition of phagosome maturation and iNOS expression.
A TR ESR Study of the Quenching of Photoexcited Dioxouranium (VI) Salts by Stable Nitroxyl Free Radicals

description: TR ESR spectroscopy was applied to the study of the quenching of excited dioxouranium (VI) (uranyl) nitrate and sulfate by stable nitroxyl radicals of the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) family. Photoexcitation of uranyl in solutions of alcohols of moderate viscosity (η = 3-10 cP) in the presence of TEMPO leads to CIDEP signals of TEMPO due to a radical triplet pair mechanism (RTPM). Polarized nitroxyls were also observed in solutions of polyelectrolyte sodium poly(styrenesulfonate), NaPSS, in the presence of the nitroxyl with a positively charged trimethylammonium group. Photolysis of uranyl salts in solutions of alcohols leads to the generation of free radicals of alcohols. No CIDEP of these radicals was observed, distinguishing U2 2+* from its organic analog, the triplet benzophenone. The probable reason for the lack of polarization in uranyl photoreduction reactions is the difficult access of free radicals to the U atom of the solvated radical UO2+ (V); this atom bears the unpaired electron. The role of polyelectrolytes in the enhancement of the quenching of excited states is discussed. Results are in agreement with the statement that photoexcited uranyl has a triplet multiplicity.

description: Um die fluktuierende Stromerzeugung durch hohe Anteile erneuerbarer Energien auszugleichen, werden zukünftig in großem Maßstab Speichertechnologien benötigt. Gegenwärtig häufen sich jedoch Berichte über den Abbruch von geplanten Pumpspeicher-Neubauprojekten. Ein wichtiger Grund hierfür ist die vermehrte Einspeisung von PV- und Windstrom, die zu veränderten Verläufen der Residuallast führt. Durch den Wegfall der mittäglichen Preisspitze und sinkende Tag-Nacht-Preisunterschiede wird das klassische Geschäftsmodell von Pumpspeicherkraftwerken in Frage gestellt. In diesem Beitrag wird der am Markt beobachtbare Pumpspeichereinsatz einem simulierten lastglättenden Einsatz und einem simulierten preisbasierten Einsatz gegenübergestellt, um zu ermitteln, welche dieser beiden Strategien den realen Einsatz in Deutschland besser erklärt. Bei Betrachtung des über alle Tage des Simulationsjahres 2015 gemittelten stündlichen Einsatzes der deutschen Pumpspeicherkraftwerke zeigt sich, dass der simulierte preisbasierte Einsatz den generellen Verlauf des realen Einsatzes in allen Jahreszeiten gut nachbildet. Der lastglättende Einsatz übersteigt dagegen insbesondere in den Mittags- und Abendstunden im Sommer den realen Einsatz signifikant. Auch eine Analyse der kumulierten Jahresenergiemengen für Pump- und Turbinenbetrieb zeigt eine gute Übereinstimmung zwischen dem realen und simulierten preisbasierten Einsatz, während der simulierte lastglättende Einsatz zu deutlich größeren Energiemengen führt. Demnach sind die gegenwärtigen Marktbedingungen offenbar nicht geeignet, um das theoretische Potential zur Lastglättung vollständig auszuschöpfen.

description: Building on her early success in silent cinema, Adele S. Buffington enjoyed a long and successful career as a Hollywood screenwriter. Unfortunately, very little has been written about Buffington’s career, especially as it relates to her roots in silent cinema. Born Adele Burgdorfer in St. Louis, she began working as a movie theatre ticket cashier as a teenager. During her three years as a cashier, she was able to study numerous films on screen before her first attempts at writing a scenario of her own (McCreadie 58). She also took notice of the movie patrons as they flooded into the theatre to see their favorite characters on the screen. She is quoted in the Ft. Wayne, Indiana, newspaper as saying: “I had always wanted to write, but never had the nerve to try before. But there came the hour when I simply had to do it—and I did. Every night when my work in the cage was done, I went to the library and read, getting details and atmosphere for the scenes I had in mind—for the background against which I wanted those dear people I knew to move and make drama. Then when everyone else was asleep, I would write and write” (qtd. in McCreadie 58).

description: Novelty is the primary requirement and breeding target for plant breeding, which can make a significant contribution to the new cultivar. The key factor for successful breeding is the genetic variation in the progeny, which depends on the degree of genetic material mixing after meiosis. However, meiotic recombination is tightly astricting in plants, resulting in a limited number of crossovers (COs). Recently, several anti-CO factors have been identified that limiting the meiotic recombination in plants, and the knock-out mutants displayed a significant increase in recombination frequency. This provides a universal tool to manipulate the meiotic recombination in plants by applying anti-CO genes, which will facilitate the breeding procedure. Due to the rapid development of genome sequencing and gene editing technologies, the genomes of more and more plants have been sequenced. In the meanwhile, the efficient CRISPR-Cas9 system has also been established in plants. Thus, it’s time to break the shackles of meiotic recombination to create novel cultivars in the biological era of genomics. Here we summarize the functional studies of the main meiotic recombination suppressors in plants, with the discussion of the possibility to apply the anti-CO genes in plant breeding as an emerging tool, especially for ornamental plant breeding.

description: Bianca Virginia Camagni was one of the first women directors in Italian silent cinema, as well as one of the most important if we take into consideration the few scattered reports in the film magazines of the time. The sources are unanimous in describing Camagni as a woman of uncommon talent and acuteness with a lively intelligence. She built around herself a unique culture based on her personality, films, collaborations, and network of relationships that made her a very special kind of diva, at variance with the mainstream conventions of the times.

description: We analyze the Mayer pressure-activity and virial pressure-density series for a classical system of particles in continuous configuration space at low temperature. Particles interact via a finite range potential with an attractive tail. We propose physical interpretations of the Mayer and virial series' radius of convergence, valid independently of the question of phase transition: the Mayer radius corresponds to a fast increase from very small to finite density, and the virial radius corresponds to a cross-over from monatomic to polyatomic gas. Our results have consequences for the search of a low density, low temperature solid-gas phase transition, consistent with the Lee-Yang theorem for lattice gases and with the continuum Widom-Rowlinson model.

description: Given an arbitrary finite dimensional Hamiltonian H_0, we consider the model H=H_0+ΔH, where ΔH is a generic fully connected interaction. By using the strong law of large numbers we easily prove that, for all such models, a generalized Curie-Weiss mean-field equation holds. Unlike traditional mean-field models the term H_0 gives rise to short-range correlations and, furthermore, when H_0 has negative couplings, first-order phase transitions and inverse transition phenomena may take place even when only two-body interactions are present. The dependence from a non uniform external field and finite size effects are also explicitly calculated. Partially, these results were derived long ago by using min-max principles but remained almost unknown.

description: We analyze the quantum efficiency of a microwave photon detector based on a current-biased Josephson junction. We consider the Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian to describe coupling between the photon field and the junction. We then take into account coupling of the junction and the resonator to the environment. We solve the equation of motion of the density matrix of the resonator-junction system to compute the quantum efficiency of the detector as a function of detection time, bias current, and energy relaxation time. Our results indicate that junctions with modest coherence properties can provide efficient detection of single microwave photons, with quantum efficiency in excess of 80%.

description: This paper provides a brief overview of the current state of the not-for-profit sector and discusses specific governance issues in not-for-profit organizations. We offer an in-depth analysis of the issues that arise when not-for-profit organizations compete against for-profit firms in the same markets. We argue that while competition by for-profit firms can discipline not-for-profit firms and mitigate their governance problems, the effects of this competition are distorted by the not-for-profits' corporate income tax exemptions. Based on a simple general equilibrium analysis, we argue that there is little justification for such exemptions.

description: Marvin Breckinridge was an amateur filmmaker, best known for her 1930 silent film The Forgotten Frontier. This film presents the activities of the Frontier Nursing Service, a group (primarily women) that provided medical services in remote and rural areas of Kentucky. While the film was named to the National Film Registry in 1996, its position as an amateur production, a late silent film, and documentary made outside of commercial production and distribution networks compound its marginality. Despite having a place on the Film Registry, Breckinridge and her films have received little scholarly attention. This neglect cannot be ascribed to a shortage of documentation about her work; archival and historical sources of information about Breckinridge’s life and filmmaking are plentiful. She took meticulous notes during the production of her completed films, and along with her published memoir, these offer us unique access to Brickinridge’s filmmaking activities.

description: We know surprisingly little about how contraception affects sexual enjoyment and functioning (and vice versa), particularly for women. What do people seek from sex, and how do sexual experiences shape contraceptive use? We draw on qualitative data to make 3 points. First, pleasure varies. Both women and men reported multiple aspects of enjoyment, of which physical pleasure was only one. Second, pleasure matters. Clear links exist between the forms of pleasure respondents seek and their contraceptive practices. Third, pleasure intersects with power and social inequality. Both gender and social class shape sexual preferences and contraceptive use patterns. These findings call for a reframing of behavioral models that explain why people use (or do not use) contraception.

description: We present a comprehensive study of 250,000 galaxies targeted by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) up to z ~ 0.7 with the specific goal of identifying and characterising a population of galaxies that has evolved without significant merging. We compute a likelihood that each BOSS galaxy is a progenitor of the Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) sample, targeted by SDSS-I/II up z ~ 0.5, by using the fossil record of LRGs and their inferred star-formation histories, metallicity histories and dust content. We determine merger rates, luminosity growth rates and the evolution of the large-scale clustering between the two surveys, and we investigate the effect of using different stellar population synthesis models in our conclusions. We demonstrate that our sample is slowly evolving (of the order of 2 +/- 1.5% per Gyr by merging). Our conclusions refer to the bright and massive end of the galaxy population, with Mi0.55 < -22, and M* > 1E11.2 Msolar, corresponding roughly to 95% and 40% of the LRGs and BOSS galaxy populations, respectively. Our analysis further shows that any possible excess of flux in BOSS galaxies, when compared to LRGs, from potentially unresolved targets at z ~ 0.55 must be less than 1% in the r0.55-band (approximately equivalent to the g-band in the rest-frame of galaxies at z=0.55). When weighting the BOSS galaxies based on the predicted properties of the LRGs, and restricting the analysis to the reddest BOSS galaxies, we find an evolution of the large-scale clustering that is consistent with dynamical passive evolution, assuming a standard cosmology. We conclude that our likelihoods give a weighted sample that is as clean and as close to passive evolution (in dynamical terms, i.e. no or negligible merging) as possible, and that is optimal for cosmological studies.

description: Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is a process that is commonly used to planarize wafer surfaces during fabrication. Although the complex interactions between the wafer, pad, and slurry make the CMP process difficult to predict, it has been postulated that the motion of the slurry fluid at the wafer-pad interface has an important effect on the wafer surface wear distribution. This paper thus serves as a review of past studies of the hydrodynamics of slurry flow during chemical mechanical polishing. The reviewed studies include theoretical and numerical models as well as experimental measurements.

Community of practice 
Through this workshop, we will work together to build a community of practice (CoP). A CoP serves as a foundation for collaboration and learning by amplifying information and resources and bringing colleagues together to promote learning and knowledge management across the globe. A CoP is built upon three dimensions: a shared domain of interest, a community of shared activities to learn and work together, and shared practice in which the community develops, shares, and evolves its core of collective knowledge. Constructing and leveraging a CoP helps to support best practices, enhance knowledge and skills, and facilitate engagement, retention, and sustainability. Communities of practice encourage and sustain enhanced organizational and individual capacity, capabilities, and collaborative growth.

description: A major contribution to the uncertainty of finite-order perturbative QCD predictions is the perceived ambiguity in setting the renormalization scale $μ_r$. For example, by using the conventional way of setting $μ_r \in [m_t/2,2m_t]$, one obtains the total $t \bar{t}$ production cross-section $σ_{t \bar{t}}$ with the uncertainty $Δσ_{t \bar{t}}/σ_{t \bar{t}}\sim ({}^{+3%}_{-4%})$ at the Tevatron and LHC even for the present NNLO level. The Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC) eliminates the renormalization scale ambiguity in precision tests of Abelian QED and non-Abelian QCD theories. In this paper we apply PMC scale-setting to predict the $t \bar t$ cross-section $σ_{t\bar{t}}$ at the Tevatron and LHC colliders. It is found that $σ_{t\bar{t}}$ remains almost unchanged by varying $μ^{\rm init}_r$ within the region of $[m_t/4,4m_t]$. The convergence of the expansion series is greatly improved. For the $(q\bar{q})$-channel, which is dominant at the Tevatron, its NLO PMC scale is much smaller than the top-quark mass in the small $x$-region, and thus its NLO cross-section is increased by about a factor of two. In the case of the $(gg)$-channel, which is dominant at the LHC, its NLO PMC scale slightly increases with the subprocess collision energy $\sqrt{s}$, but it is still smaller than $m_t$ for $\sqrt{s}\lesssim 1$ TeV, and the resulting NLO cross-section is increased by $\sim 20%$. As a result, a larger $σ_{t\bar{t}}$ is obtained in comparison to the conventional scale-setting method, which agrees well with the present Tevatron and LHC data. More explicitly, by setting $m_t=172.9\pm 1.1$ GeV, we predict $σ_{\rm Tevatron,\;1.96\,TeV} = 7.626^{+0.265}_{-0.257}$ pb, $σ_{\rm LHC,\;7\,TeV} = 171.8^{+5.8}_{-5.6}$ pb and $σ_{\rm LHC,\;14\,TeV} = 941.3^{+28.4}_{-26.5}$ pb.

Complete Intersection Moduli Spaces in N=4 Gauge Theories in Three Dimensions

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study moduli spaces of a class of three dimensional N=4 gauge theories which are in one-to-one correspondence with a certain set of ordered pairs of integer partitions. It was found that these theories can be realised on brane intervals in Type IIB string theory and can therefore be described using linear quiver diagrams. Mirror symmetry was known to act on such a theory by exchanging the partitions in the corresponding ordered pair, and hence the quiver diagram of the mirror theory can be written down in a straightforward way. The infrared Coulomb branch of each theory can be studied using moment map equations for a hyperKahler quotient of the Higgs branch of the mirror theory. We focus on three infinite subclasses of these singular hyperKahler spaces which are complete intersections. The Hilbert series of these spaces are computed in order to count generators and relations, and they turn out to be related to the corresponding partitions of the theories. For each theory, we explicitly discuss the generators of such a space and relations they satisfy in detail. These relations are precisely the defining equations of the corresponding complete intersection space.

description: Bertha Muzzy Bower was perhaps the first female author of mass-market Western fiction. In her lifetime, Bower wrote sixty-eight Western novels under an androgynous nom de plume, a mandate made by her early publisher Street & Smith in order to conceal her gender from readers. While it is difficult to accurately assess the massive popularity of these novels, her works—particularly her Flying U novels—attracted the attention of several Hollywood producers and were regularly adapted into films. Her most popular novel, Chip, of the Flying U, seemed to have been a favorite among moviemakers, as it was adapted four times. As most scholarship on Bower focuses on her literary career, information on her work in cinema remains sketchy and indeterminable. Nonetheless, several sources tell us that Bower was attracted to cinema and particularly to the Hollywood Western. According to Orrin Engen, Bower believed that “the early cowboys of the films projected the essential vitality of life on the range” (11). Outside of the film adaptations, her ties to Hollywood seem tangential at best, though she also worked as a scenario writer and screenwriter, collaborating extensively with director Colin Campbell and cowboy actor Tom Mix.
Consistency of inflation and preheating in F(R) supergravity

description: We study inflation and preheating in F(R) supergravity characterized by two mass scales of a scalar degree of freedom (scalaron): M (associated with the inflationary era) and m (associated with the preheating era). The allowed values of the masses M and m are derived from the amplitude of the CMB temperature anisotropies. We show that our model is consistent with the joint observational constraints of WMAP and other measurements in the regime where a sufficient amount of inflation (with the number of e-foldings larger than 50) is realized. In the low-energy regime relevant to preheating, we derive the effective scalar potential in the presence of a pseudo-scalar field chi coupled to the inflaton (scalaron) field phi. If m is much larger than M, we find that there exists the preheating stage in which the field perturbations delta chi and delta phi rapidly grow by a broad parametric resonance.

description: Intermediate state two-photon (ISTP) photoacid generator (PAG) and optical threshold layer (OTL) approaches to double exposure lithography have been explored. We have synthesized "transparent" PAG and sensitizer compounds for use in ISTP systems and have demonstrated the possibility of utilizing such energy transfer systems to generate acid. We have also synthesized side chain liquid crystalline polymers and small molecule azobenzene compounds for use in OTL applications and have begun photoswitching studies.
Rationally smooth elements of Coxeter groups and triangle group avoidance

description: We study a family of infinite-type Coxeter groups defined by the avoidance of certain rank 3 parabolic subgroups. For this family, rationally smooth elements can be detected by looking at only a few coefficients of the Poincaré polynomial. We also prove a factorization theorem for the Poincaré polynomial of rationally smooth elements. As an application, we show that a large class of infinite-type Coxeter groups have only finitely many rationally smooth elements. Explicit enumerations and descriptions of these elements are given in special cases.

description: We describe the selective photorelease of γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) with a novel caged-GABA compound that uses a ruthenium complex as photosensor. This compound ("RuBi-GABA") can be excited with visible wavelengths, providing greater tissue penetration, less photo-toxicity, and faster photorelease kinetics than currently used UV light-sensitive caged compounds. Using pyramidal neurons from neocortical brain slices, we show that RuBi-GABA uncaging induces GABA-A receptor-mediated responses, has no detectable side effects on endogenous GABAergic and glutamatergic receptors and generates responses with kinetics and spatial resolution comparable to the best caged GABA compounds presently available. Finally, we illustrate two potential applications of RuBi-GABA uncaging: GABA receptor mapping, and optical silencing of neuronal firing.

description: Despite subheadings that highlight Madeline Brandeis’s success and expertise in film production (“Finds Ready Market for Her Cinema Features” or “Writes Own Continuity and Attends to Details”), a 1926 Los Angeles Times article titled “Woman Makes Films for Fun,” depicts Madeline Brandeis as a wealthy hobbyist: “Will the producing of motion pictures ever become the plaything—the pastime—of the rich? This question recurred mentally again and again in the course of a conversation with Madeline Brandeis in the delightful patio of her hillside home in Hollywood.” Brandeis herself appears to be complicit with the portrayal of her work as an activity she undertakes primarily for its personal satisfactions. She is quoted saying: “‘In a sense, this picture-making is only a pastime. Perhaps I shouldn’t say just that—it was a pastime in the beginning, but the success I have had and the financial returns have been so gratifying that I know I shall make pictures from time to time as long as I live. It is fascinating and keeps one occupied’” (“Woman Makes Films” C30)
