description: Das Boomerang-Modell von Keck und Sikkink (1998) und das Spiral-Modell von Risse, Ropp und Sikkink (1999) bestimmen einen großen Teil der wissenschaftlichen Debatte über die Verbreitung von Menschenrechtsnormen. Beiden Modellen liegt im Kern der ‚Informationsaustausch‘ unter Angehörigen breiter Koalitionen zugrunde, die die bessere Einhaltung der Menschenrechtsnormen befürworten. Das aktualisierte Spiral-Modell (2013) bietet eine kontextspezifischere und mehrdeutigere Zusammenstellung von Akteuren und Prozessen, als dies in den ersten Boomerang- und Spiral-Modellen der Fall war. In diesem Zusammenhang untersuchen wir die Auswirkungen eines breiten Spektrums an digitalen Technologien auf die Advocacy-Arbeit von Nichtregierungsorganisationen im Bereich der Menschenrechte und wie diese den Informationsaustausch im 21. Jahrhundert beeinflussen. Herkömmlicherweise wird Beweismaterial bei Menschenrechtsuntersuchungen in direktem Austausch unter Aktivist/Innen und bei Erkundungsmissionen gesammelt. Unserer Argumentation zufolge schaffen Cluster von digitalen Technologien „digital affordances“, die nichtstaatlichen Akteuren Werkzeuge zur Stärkung ihrer Fähigkeit verschaffen, wissenschaftlich fundierte Informationen zu sammeln, Akteure unter Druck zu setzen und sie zur Einhaltung weitgehend gemeinsamer Menschenrechtsnormen zu verpflichten. Ob dies auch zu einer besseren Einhaltung der Normen führt, ist weniger klar.
description: Keck and Sikkink’s boomerang model (1998) and Risse, Ropp, and Sikkink’s spiral model (1999) anchor much of the scholarly debate about human rights norms propagation. At the heart of both models is “information exchange” among members of broad coalitions advocating for better compliance with human rights norms. An updated spiral model (2013) offers a more liminal, ambiguous, and conditional set of actors and processes than appeared in the first boomerang and spiral models. In this context, we consider the effects of a wide array of digital technologies on human rights NGOs advocacy work and how they affect 21st century information exchange. Traditionally, evidence in human rights investigations is collected in face-to-face meetings among activists and on fact-finding missions. We argue that clusters of digital technologies create “digital affordances” that provide nonstate actors with tools that strengthen their ability to gather scientifically grounded information that pressures noncompliant actors toward commitments with broadly shared human rights norms. As to whether this also leads to greater compliance is less clear.

description: Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) are considered the gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis. These tests require professional manpower and equipment, long processing and swab sampling which is unpleasant to the patients. Several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been identified in the breath of COVID-19 patients. Detection of these VOCs using a breath test could help rapidly identify COVID-19 patients. Assess the accuracy of ‘Breath of Health’ (BOH) COVID-19 Fourier-transform infra-red (FTIR) Spectroscopy-based breath test. Breath samples from patients with or without symptoms suggestive for COVID-19 who had NAAT results were collected using Tedlar bags and were blindly analysed using BOH FTIR spectroscopy. BOH Measures several VOCs simultaneously and differentiating positive and negative results. BOH results were compared to NAAT results as gold standard. Breath samples from 531 patients were analysed. The sensitivity of BOH breath test was found to be 79.5% and specificity was 87.2%. Positive predictive value (PPV) was 74.7% and negative predictive value (NPV) 90.0%. Calculated accuracy rate was 84.8% and area under the curve 0.834. Subgroup analysis revealed that the NPV of patients without respiratory symptoms was superior over the NPV of symptomatic patients (94.7% vs 80.7%, P-value < 0.0001) and PPV of patients with respiratory symptoms outranks the PPV of individuals without symptoms (85.3% vs 69.2%, P-value 0.0196) We found BOH COVID-19 breath test to be a patient-friendly, rapid, non-invasive diagnostic test with high accuracy rate and NPV that could efficiently rule out COVID-19 especially among individuals with low pre-test probability.

description: We present a toy model for five-dimensional heterotic M-theory where bulk three-branes, originating in 11 dimensions from M five-branes, are modelled as kink solutions of a bulk scalar field theory. It is shown that the vacua of this defect model correspond to a class of topologically distinct M-theory compactifications. Topology change can then be analysed by studying the time evolution of the defect model. In the context of a four-dimensional effective theory, we study in detail the simplest such process, that is the time evolution of a kink and its collision with a boundary. We find that the kink is generically absorbed by the boundary thereby changing the boundary charge. This opens up the possibility of exploring the relation between more complicated defect configurations and the topology of brane-world models.

description: Inspired by a new compilation of strong lensing systems, which consist of 204 points in the redshift range $0.0625< z_{l} < 0.958$ for the lens and $0.196< z_{s} < 3.595$ for the source, we constrain three models that generate a late cosmic acceleration: the $ω$-cold dark matter model, the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder and the Jassal-Bagla-Padmanabhan parametrizations. Our compilation contains only those systems with early type galaxies acting as lenses, with spectroscopically measured stellar velocity dispersions, estimated Einstein radius, and both the lens and source redshifts. We assume an axially symmetric mass distribution in the lens equation, using a correction to alleviate differences between the measured velocity dispersion ($σ$) and the dark matter halo velocity dispersion ($σ_{DM}$) as well as other systematic errors that may affect the measurements. We have considered different sub-samples to constrain the cosmological parameters of each model. Additionally, we generate a mock data of SLS to asses the impact of the chosen mass profile on the accuracy of Einstein radius estimation. Our results show that cosmological constraints are very sensitive to the selected data: some cases show convergence problems in the estimation of cosmological parameters (e.g. systems with observed distance ratio $D^{obs}<0.5$), others show high values for the chi-square function (e.g. systems with a lens equation $D^{obs} >1$ or high velocity dispersion $σ> 276$ km s$^{-1}$). However, we obtained a fiduciary sample with 143 systems which improves the constraints on each tested cosmological model.

description: Stahl ist mengenmäßig das weltweit am meisten verbrauchte Metall. Erst mit großem Abstand folgt an zweiter Stelle Aluminium. Doch der Stellenwert der ehemaligen Schlüsselindustrie Stahl hat sich seit den 70er Jahren in vielen Industrieländern grundlegend verändert: Produktions- und Nachfragesteigerungen in Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländern standen Rückgänge in vielen hochindustrialisierten Ländern gegenüber. Auch in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland fiel die Rohstahlproduktion von Mitte der 70er bis Anfang der 80er Jahre und wuchs auch danach nur noch wenig, was mit drastischen Arbeitsplatzverlusten verbunden war. Erhebliche soziale und wirtschaftliche Probleme waren vor allem in den Regionen, in denen sich dieser Sektor und viele ihm vor- und nachgelagerte Industrien konzentrieren, die Folge. Die EG, die zuvor ihre Stahlpolitik weitgehend am liberalen Ordnungsrahmen des EGKS- Vertrages ausgerichtet hatte, betrieb infolge der Krise seit Mitte der 70er Jahre eine zunehmend interventionistische Politik. Die Eisen- und Stahlerzeugung erfordert große Mengen an Rohstoffen, Energie und Wasser und verursacht in erheblichem Ausmaß umweltschädliche Abfälle und Abgase. Allerdings war die Produktion von Stahl nie Inhalt umweltpolitischer Diskussionen oder Ansatzpunkt öffentlicher Kritik im eigentlichen Sinne, wie etwa der Stoff Chlor im Rahmen der chemiepolitischen Debatte oder die Primärerzeugung von Aluminium aufgrund ihres hohen Energieverbrauchs. Die vorliegende Fallstudie untersucht, \- inwieweit es sich bei der Produktionsentwicklung der deutschen Stahlindustrie um eine generelle (länderübergreifende) Entwicklung handelt, \- durch welche Faktoren der Nachfrage- und Produktionsrückgang bei der deutschen Stahlindustrie bedingt wurde, \- in welchem Maße und mit welchen Wirkungen auf die Entwicklung politisch Einfluß genommen wurde, \- welche Maßnahmen zur Erleichterung der Anpassungsprozesse insbesondere hinsichtlich der Reduzierung der Beschäftigtenzahl ergriffen wurden und \- inwieweit der Produktionsrückgang die Verbesserung in der Umweltbilanz der Industrie erklären kann.

description: The Alor-Pantar family constitutes the westernmost outlier group of Papuan (Non-Austronesian) languages. Its twenty or so languages are spoken on the islands of Alor and Pantar, located just north of Timor, in eastern Indonesia. Together with the Papuan languages of Timor, they make up the Timor-Alor- Pantar family. The languages average 5,000 speakers and are under pressure from the local Malay variety as well as the national language, Indonesian. This volume studies the internal and external linguistic history of this interesting group, and showcases some of its unique typological features, such as the preference to index the transitive patient-like argument on the verb but not the agent-like one; the extreme variety in morphological alignment patterns; the use of plural number words; the existence of quinary numeral systems; the elaborate spatial deictic systems involving an elevation component; and the great variation exhibited in their kinship systems. Unlike many other Papuan languages, Alor-Pantar languages do not exhibit clause- chaining, do not have switch reference systems, never suffix subject indexes to verbs, do not mark gender, but do encode clusivity in their pronominal systems. Indeed, apart from a broadly similar head-final syntactic profile, there is little else that the Alor-Pantar languages share with Papuan languages spoken in other regions. While all of them show some traces of contact with Austronesian languages, in general, borrowing from Austronesian has not been intense, and contact with Malay and Indonesian is a relatively recent phenomenon in most of the Alor-Pantar region. About the Author: Marian Klamer Marian Klamer (1965) is Professor of Austronesian and Papuan Linguistics at Leiden University. Over the last two decades she has lead research projects describing and documenting Austronesian and Papuan minority languages in Eastern Indonesia; comparing their typological characteristics; and reconstructing their history. Her publications include grammars on Kambera (1998), Teiwa (2010), and Alorese (2011), as well as several edited volumes, and over fifty articles on a wide range of topics. Klamer is currently leading the NWO-VICI project "Reconstructing the past through languages of the present: the Lesser Sunda Islands" (2014-2019).

description: Big data often has emergent structure that exists at multiple levels of abstraction, which are useful for characterizing complex interactions and dynamics of the observations. Here, we consider multiple levels of abstraction via a multiresolution geometry of data points at different granularities. To construct this geometry we define a time-inhomogeneous diffusion process that effectively condenses data points together to uncover nested groupings at larger and larger granularities. This inhomogeneous process creates a deep cascade of intrinsic low pass filters on the data affinity graph that are applied in sequence to gradually eliminate local variability while adjusting the learned data geometry to increasingly coarser resolutions. We provide visualizations to exhibit our method as a continuously-hierarchical clustering with directions of eliminated variation highlighted at each step. The utility of our algorithm is demonstrated via neuronal data condensation, where the constructed multiresolution data geometry uncovers the organization, grouping, and connectivity between neurons.

description: The neutrino flux and spectra formation in a supernova core is studied by using a Monte Carlo code. The dominant opacity contribution for nu_mu and nu_tau is elastic scattering on nucleons. In addition we switch on or off a variety of processes which allow for the exchange of energy or the creation and destruction of neutrino pairs, notably nucleon bremsstrahlung, the e^+ e^- pair annihilation process and nu_e-bar nu_e -> nu_{mu,tau} nu_{mu,tau}-bar, recoil and weak magnetism in elastic nucleon scattering, elastic scattering on electrons and positrons and elastic scattering on electron neutrinos and anti-neutrinos. The least important processes are neutrino-neutrino scattering and e^+ e^- annihilation. The formation of the spectra and fluxes of nu_mu is dominated by the nucleonic processes, i.e. bremsstrahlung and elastic scattering with recoil, but also nu_e nu_e-bar annihilation and nu_mu e^\pm scattering contribute significantly. When all processes are included, the spectral shape of the emitted neutrino flux is always ``pinched,'' i.e. the width of the spectrum is smaller than that of a thermal spectrum with the same average energy. In all of our cases we find that the average nu_mu-bar energy exceeds the average nu_e-bar energy by only a small amount, 10% being a typical number. Weak magnetism effects cause the opacity of nu_mu to differ slightly from that of nu_mu-bar, translating into differences of the luminosities and average energies of a few percent. Depending on the density, temperature, and composition profile, the flavor-dependent luminosities L_{nu_e}$, L_{nu_e-bar}, and L_{nu_mu} can mutually differ from each other by up to a factor of two in either direction.

description: American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity is an important parameter in the crude oil industry and the nitrogen compounds are related to the toxic effects of the oil in refineries and the environment. In this paper, 194 crude oil samples with API gravities ranging from 11.4 to 57.5 were used for the purpose of estimating the physicochemical properties: API gravity, total nitrogen content (TNC) and basic nitrogen content (BNC). Initially, infrared spectra in the mid and near regions (MIR and NIR) were collected, then full-spectral partial least squares (PLS) and the orthogonal projections to latent structures (OPLS) chemometric models were developed and validated, as well as models using interval PLS (iPLS), synergy interval PLS (siPLS) and competitive adaptive reweighted sampling PLS (CARSPLS) as variable selection tools. For API gravity and TNC, the best calibration technique is the NIR CARSPLS with a root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) values of 0.9 and 0.0275 wt%, respectively. For BNC, the best technique is MIR siPLS with a prediction error of 0.0134 wt%. The results were validated based on the evaluation of the figures of merit, a statistical evaluation of the accuracy, characterization of the systematic error and measurement for errors in the residues. The results were satisfactory considering the high variability of the data and the diversity of the samples, demonstrating suitable applicability for practical analysis.

description: Sadhukarn, a sacred music composition performed ritually to salute and invite divine powers to open a ceremony or feast, is played in Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. Different countries have unique versions, arranged based on musicians’ skills and en vogue styles. This study presents the results of multivariate statistical analyses of 26 different versions of Sadhukarn main melodies using non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and cluster analysis. The objective was to identify the optimal number of parameters for identifying the origin and relationships among Sadhukarn versions, including rhyme structures, pillar tone, rhythmic and melodic patterns, intervals, pitches, and combinations of these parameters. The data were analyzed using both full and normalized datasets (32 phrases) to avoid biases due to differences in phrases among versions. Overall, the combination of six parameters is the best approach for data analysis in both full and normalized datasets. The analysis of the ‘full version’ shows the separation of Sadhukarn versions from different countries of origin, while the analysis of the ‘normalized version’ reveals the rhyme structure, rhythmic structure, and pitch as crucial parameters for identifying Sadhukarn versions. We conclude that multivariate statistics are powerful tools for identifying relationships among different versions of Sadhukarn compositions from Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia and within the same countries of origin.

description: We show that Clifford algebras are closely related to the study of isoclinic subspaces of spinor spaces and, consequently, to the Hurwitz-Radon matrix problem. Isocliny angles are introduced to parametrize gamma matrices, i.e., matrix representations of the generators of finite-dimensional Clifford algebras C(m,n). Restricting the consideration to the Clifford algebra C(4,0), this parametrization is then applied to the study of Dirac traces occurring in Euclidean lattice quantum field theory within the hopping parameter expansion for Wilson fermions.

description: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) is a nosocomial pathogen causing life-threatening invasive infections with a high mortality rate in some patient populations, especially those who are severely ill or immunocompromised. There is a need for data on mortality in patients with S. maltophilia bacteremia. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to investigate risk factors for mortality in S. maltophilia bacteremia. Studies comparing patients who died from S. maltophilia bacteremia with patients who survived were considered for inclusion. Studies were included if they reported one or more risk factors for mortality. Mortality risk factors included clinical predisposing factors, predisposing comorbidities and appropriateness of antibiotic therapy. Nineteen studies with 1248 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Five hundred and six (40.5%) patients died. The following risk factors for mortality were identified: ICU admission, septic shock, need for mechanical ventilation, indwelling central venous catheter, neutropenia, comorbid hematological malignancies, chronic kidney disease, inappropriate antimicrobial therapy and prior antibiotic use. Appropriate antimicrobial therapy had a protective effect against mortality in S. maltophilia bacteremia. Indwelling central venous catheter, neutropenia, hematological malignancies and chronic kidney disease were also risk factors for mortality.

description: The alternative renormalizable minimal $SO(10)$ model is composed of the Yukawa couplings with $\textbf{10} \oplus \textbf{120}$ Higgs fields, whereas the right-handed (RH) neutrino Majorana masses are generated via the Witten mechanism. The gauge coupling unification is achieved together with a unique pattern of the fermion masses and mixing at the grand unification scale due to additional contributions of vector-like quarks to the standard model renormalization group equations. We perform the fitting of the model to the experimental data of charged fermion masses and the CKM matrix. The best fit point is obtained with large pulls for $m_c$, $m_s$, $m_b$, and $m_τ$. For the modifications to the minimal model by adding either $\textbf{10}'$ or $\textbf{120}'$, a large deviation for the tau mass rules out all these models. In the case with the bottom and vector-like quark mixing, the mass matrices are well fitted the charged fermions but the bound on the light neutrino mass scale excludes this scenario. To ameliorate this deficit, we consider the two-step symmetry breaking scenario, $SO(10) \rightarrow SU(5) \rightarrow SU(3)_C \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$, with the $SO(10)$ breaking at the Planck scale leading to the radiatively generated RH neutrino Majorana masses being at the ordinary seesaw scale. For this case, we find the best fit point with $χ^2 = 7.8$ consistent with experimental results including the neutrino sector. The largest deviation is 2.3$σ$ corresponding to the strange quark mass. Hence, a more precise determination of the strange quark mass can test this model. For the best fit point, we find the effective Majorana neutrino mass of $m_{ββ} = 0.22$ meV and the sum of light neutrino masses as $Σ= 0.078$ eV, which are consistent with the current constraints from the search for the neutrinoless double beta decay and the CMB anisotropy measurement.

description: Fluid overload in hemodialysis patients (HD) has been proven to be associated with inflammation. Elevated levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) appear to be inadequately counterbalanced by the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10). We initiated a cross-sectional study enrolling 40 HD patients who were categorized by a bioimpedance measurement in normovolemic (N; 23) and hypervolemic (H; 17) groups to test whether IL-10- and IL-6-related signal transduction pathways (signal transducer of transcript 3: STAT3) and/or a post-transcriptional regulating mechanism (miR-142) are impaired by hypervolemia. IL-10/IL-6 transcript and protein production by PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) were determined. Phospho-flow cytometry was used to detect the phosphorylated forms of STAT3 (pY705 and pS727). miR-142-3p/5p levels were detected by qPCR. Hypervolemic patients were older, more frequently had diabetes, and showed higher CRP levels. IL-10 transcripts were elevated in H patients but not IL-10 protein levels. In spite of the elevated mRNA expression of the suppressor of cytokine expression 3 (SOCS3), IL-6 mRNA and protein expression were increased in immune cells of H patients. The percentage of cells staining positive for STAT3 (pY705) were comparable in both groups; in STAT3 (pS727), however, the signal needed for full transactivation was decreased in H patients. miR-142-3p, a proven target of IL-10 and IL-6, was significantly elevated in H patients. Insufficient phosphorylation of STAT3 may impair inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine signaling. How far degradative mechanisms induced by elevated miR-142-3p levels contribute to an inefficient anti-inflammatory IL-10 signaling remains elusive.

description: We analyse the primordial density perturbation when it is generated by a `curvaton' field different from the inflaton. In some cases this perturbation may have large isocurvature components, fully correlated or anti-correlated with the adiabatic component. It may also have a significant non-Gaussian component. All of these effects are calculated in a form which will enable direct comparison with current and forthcoming observational data.

The large scale geometry of nilpotent Lie groups
Creators: name: Pauls, Scott
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)

description: In this paper, we prove results concerning the large scale geometry of connected, simply connected nonabelian nilpotent Lie groups equipped with left invariant Riemannian metrics. Precisely, we prove that there do not exist quasi-isometric embeddings of such a nilpotent Lie group into either a CAT(0) metric space or an Alexandrov metric space with curvature bounded below. The main technical aspect of this work is the proof of a limited metric differentiability of Lipschitz maps between connected graded nilpotent Lie groups equipped with left invariant Carnot-Caratheodory metrics and complete metric spaces.
description: 22 pages, 1 figure. The revision corrects several typographical errors and makes the notation concerning metric spaces of generalized bounded curvature consistent with the literature

description: The (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)chloridoiridium(III) complex bearing a κP,κS-bonded Ph2PCH2CH2SPh ligand ([Ir(η5-C5Me5)Cl(Ph2P(CH2)2SPh-κP,κS)]PF6, (1)] was synthesized and characterized. Multinuclear (1H, 13C and 31P) NMR spectroscopy was employed for the determination of the structure. Moreover, SC-XRD confirmed the proposed structure belongs to the “piano stool” type. The Hirshfeld surface analysis outlined the most important intermolecular interactions in the structure. The crystallographic structure was optimized at the B3LYP-D3BJ/6-311++G(d,p)(H,C,P,S,Cl)/LanL2DZ(Ir) level of theory. The applicability of this level was verified through a comparison of experimental and theoretical bond lengths and angles, and 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts. The Natural Bond Orbital theory was used to identify and quantify the intramolecular stabilization interactions, especially those between donor atoms and Ir(III) ions. Complex 1 was tested on antitumor activity against five human tumor cell lines: MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma, SW480 colon adenocarcinoma, 518A2 melanoma, 8505C human thyroid carcinoma and A253 submandibular carcinoma. Complex 1 showed superior antitumor activity against cisplatin-resistant MCF-7, SW480 and 8505C cell lines. The mechanism of tumoricidal action on 8505C cells indicates the involvement of caspase-induced apoptosis, accompanied by a considerable reduction in ROS/RNS and proliferation potential of treated cells.

description: We set up a homological algebra for N-complexes, which are graded modules together with a degree -1 endomorphism d satisfying d^N=0. We define Tor- and Ext-groups for N-complexes and we compute them in terms of their classical counterparts (N=2). As an application, we get an alternative definition of the Hochschild homology of an associative algebra out of an N-complex whose differential is based on a primitive N-th root of unity.

description: Valtrate is a principle compound isolated from Valeriana jatamansi Jones, a traditional Chinese folk medicine originally used to treat various nervous disorders. Here, we found that valtrate exhibited significant anti-cancer activity in vitro, especially in human breast cancer cells, while displayed relatively low cytotoxicity to normal human breast epithelial cells (MCF 10A). Valtrate induced cell cycle arrest at G2/M stage and apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells, with reduced expression of p-Akt (Ser 473), cyclin B1 and caspase 8, and increased expression of p21, p-cdc2, cleaved-caspase 3, cleaved-caspase 7 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). In addition, valtrate inhibited cell migration through down-regulation of MMP-9 and MMP-2 expression. These results demonstrate that valtrate possesses anti-breast cancer activities via cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and inhibition of cell migration, thus supporting valtrate as a potential antitumor agent.

description: Three unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff base ligands, H2salipn, H2salipn-Br4 and H2salipn-Cl2, have been synthesized from the typical condensation reactions of treating 1,2-diaminopropane with salicylaldehyde, 3,5-dibromosalicylaldehyde and 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde, respectively. Treatment of [RuCl2(PPh3)3] with one equivalent of H2salipn or H2salipn-Br4 in the presence of triethylamine in tetrahydrofuran (THF) afforded the corresponding ruthenium(III) complexes [RuIIICl(PPh3)(salipn)] (1) and [RuIIICl(PPh3)(salipn-Br4)] (2). Interaction of [RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3] with one equivalent of H2salipn-Cl2 or H2salipn-Br4 under the same conditions led to isolation of ruthenium(II) complexes [RuII(CO)(PPh3)(salalipn-Cl2)] (3) and [RuII(CO)(PPh3)(salalipn-Br4)] (4), respectively, in which one of the imine bonds was nucleophilically attacked by hydride to result in the formation of a mixed imine-amine ligand. The molecular structures of 1⋅1.5CH2Cl2, 2, 3⋅0.5CH2Cl2 and 4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The electrochemical properties of 1–4 were also investigated. Their cyclic voltammograms displayed quasi-reversible Ru(IV)/Ru(III) and Ru(III)/Ru(II) couples with Eo ranging from 0.67 to 1.05 V and 0.74 to 0.80 V vs. Ag/AgCl (0.1 M), respectively.
Classicism and Colonization: Architecture and its Discourses in Early-Modern England

description: This dissertation examines links between architectural and colonial discourse in order to provide a new account of England’s fascination with the “all’antica” manner in the late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries. I argue that the allure of classicism during this period was directly related to imperial ambitions awakened by the consolidation of the Scottish and English crowns. Seeking models for their nascent empire, architects and colonial “planters” looked to their own history as a Roman colony. Shared references to antiquity facilitated an unprecedented commerce between artistic and political discourse. Architects in England and colonizers abroad both fashioned themselves as the “new Romans,” reconceiving English identity as a product of Britain’s former subjugation. While classicism provided newly required symbols of empire, it also challenged traditional notions of “Englishness,” embroiling architects in cultural, political, and religious debates that transformed architecture and the status of architects.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.
