After summarizing his experiences in high school (Casper, Wyoming) he goes on to discuss his enlistment in the Navy Z-5 program. After receiving his wings, he was assigned to the Heavy Photographic Squadron. The squadron mapped Newfoundland and Labrador over the course of one summer. Streich was later involved in intelligence photography for AIRLANT. After assignments in Europe and Africa he had a long assignment in the Alaska CDR. Streich volunteered for Operation Deepfreeze in 1955. The preparations for the trip, the trip itself, and the arrival at Little America are described. Streich discusses his impressions of Admiral Byrd and describes the development of the first runway on ice at McMurdo Station, the construction of which was headed by Byrd and Hebbe. He also describes winter conditions, moving sea ice, and the flying reconnaissance used to locate the trail from Little America to Byrd Station. Streich discusses the challenges to survival after his plane crashed in a whiteout, after which he and the other members of the flight crew walked for several miles before being rescued. The preparation of equipment over the winter months is discussed, along with the construction and first flight to Byrd Station during Streich’s second summer of residency. He made the first flight to this station and upon return to the US he continued his work in the Heavy Photographic Squadron.

The failure of the balance of power: warring states Japan, 1467-1590
No full textContrary to the predictions of balance of power theory that the balancing mechanism prevents the emergence of hegemonies in anarchic systems, and contrary to the absence of hegemony in the European system for the last five centuries, hegemonies have sometimes been established in non-Western historical systems. According to balance of power theory, when one state begins to seek domination, other states balance against the domination seeker to preserve their autonomy. However, scholars have noted how balance of power theory has rarely been tested outside of the European and modern international contexts. English School scholars who have traced the development of the balance of power concept from its origins in Renaissance Italy to the 19th century Concert of Europe have found little evidence that the balance of power concept was known or understood outside of Europe. While the balance of power was well-known by Europeans and widely applied to the practice of European diplomacy, it was virtually unknown outside of Europe. In the absence of knowledge of the balance of power concept, can states prevent the creation of hegemonies through balancing? This project finds that while actors naturally try to balance domination seekers individually, they will find it difficult to form effective, collective balancing coalitions without knowledge of the balance of power concept. The project's argument is qualitatively tested with the Warring States Japan, 1467 to 1590. Warring States Japan is well suited as a case to test international relations theory. During this period, Japan was an anarchic system of independent, feudal domains ruled over by warlords who ruled them like miniature states. Japan was isolated from the rest of the world during this period so there was no external pressure on the warlords' decision making. For approximately 100 years after 1467, the system experienced a balance of power, as no warlord rose to create a hegemonic order. Then, from 1568 to 1590, Japan was unified by two warlords, Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. This project studies the nature of the balance that existed before unification and the balancing efforts of the warlords in reaction to the unification process.Ph.D.Includes abstractVitaIncludes bibliographical referencesby Philip A.

Something Fantastic
No full textSomething Fantastic is the multifaceted manifesto of three young architects – Julian Schubert, Elena Schütz and Leonard Streich. It is also the name of their new Berlin-based studio; both book and studio derive from a diploma thesis at the University of the Arts, Berlin. Something Fantastic calls for increased consciousness in architectural thought and action, particularly in relation to the environment, energy and contemporary politics. Excerpts from thinkers and theorists – from Thomas Hobbes to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe – and interviews, including with Markus Miessen and Werner Sobek, inform a publication determined to call for change, and offer hope for the future
Two Pietàs: William-Adolphe Bouguereau & Lisa Streich
No full textTwo Pietàs in different media, the first by French painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825–1905) and the second by Swedish composer Lisa Streich (1985-), permit an examination of the Pietà trope itself by laying open a range of its symbolic aspects. Bouguereau’s Pietà (1876) is discussed in terms of the grief and joy that are both present in the theological and mythological Virgin Mary at the crucifixion and allows us to touch on a potential functioning of the painting, while Streich’s Pietà (2012), for cello, motors and electronics, takes this apparent dichotomy and combines it with a more active reflection on Christ’s crucified body. This latter also allows us to ask: what is depicted in a piece of music? And suggests that the visual & physical dimensions – the instrument as canvas or stage – are as vital as the sonic dimensions in the apprehension of this work
Comparative Serum Proteomic Analysis of Differentially Regulated Proteins in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Healthy Volunteers
No full textBackground: To identify differentially regulated serum proteins, we compared proteome profiles of sera from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and healthy controls using proteomics. Methods: Sera were collected from 43 patients with RA and 48 healthy volunteers. The samples were cleared of the most abundant major proteins by immunoaffinity chromatography. Serum protein profiles between the two groups were compared by two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and differentially regulated proteins were studied using mass spectrometry. Results: We identified 26 differentially expressed serum proteins between patients with RA and healthy controls. A quantitatively significant change of protein levels was defined as at least 1.5-fold upregulation or 0.6-fold downregulation respectively. Using these criteria, patients with RA exhibited significantly higher levels of leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein (p<0.01), apolipoprotein A-IV (p<0.001), clusterin (p<0.001), haptoglobin (p<0.001), Ig alpha-1 chain C region (p<0.05), retinol-binding protein 4 (p<0.001), serum amyloid A (p<0.01) and alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (p<0.01). The levels of serotransferrin were significantly decreased in RA patients (p<0.01). Conclusion: We identified eight proteins with significantly increased and one protein with significantly decreased serum levels in RA patients compared to healthy controls. Several of these proteins may be implicated in the pathogenesis of RA and may have potential in diagnostics and activity assessment of RA
A longitudinal analysis of reproductive skew in male rhesus macaques
No full textOne of the basic tenets of sexual selection is that male reproductive success should be large in polygynous species. Here, we analysed 6 years of molecular genetic data from a semi–free–ranging population of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), using Nonac's B index, to assess the level of male reproductive skew in the study troop. On average, the top sire in each year produced 24% of the infants, while 71% of troop males sired no offspring at all. Consequently, 74% of infants had at least one paternal half–sibling in their own birth cohort. Reproductive success was greatest for high–ranking males, males who spent the whole mating season in the troop and males of 9–11 years of age. Heterozygosity for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II gene DQB1 was the strongest single predictor of male reproductive success. A negative relationship suggestive of female mate choice was noted between the B index and the proportion of extra–group paternities. Reproductive skew was not associated with relatedness among potential sires or with female cycle synchrony. We conclude that reproductive skew in male rhesus macaques is best accounted for by the ‘limited–control’ model, with multiple factors interacting to regulate individual reproductive output

No full textLernaufgaben, die Lernende zu Wissenskonstruktionsaktivitäten wie beispielsweise dem Organisieren und Elaborieren von Lerninhalten anregen, fördern das Verständnis. Hinsichtlich der Förderung des langfristigen Behaltens des erworbenen Wissens sind auf Konstruktion zielende Lernaufgaben jedoch nicht optimal – empirische Studien deuten an, dass bessere Konsolidierungseffekte mit Lernaufgaben zu erreichen sind, die Lernende zu Abrufübung anregen. Vor diesem Hintergrund sind in den letzten Jahren einige Bemühungen initiiert worden, Abrufübung und damit eine starke Konsolidierungsfunktion auch im Kontext von auf Konstruktion zielenden Lernaufgaben zu realisieren. Einer der in diesem Rahmen eingeschlagenen Wege ist es, auf Konstruktion zielende Lernaufgaben in einem sogenannten zu implementieren, bei dem die Lernenden, während sie die Lernaufgaben bearbeiten, nicht mehr auf die zugrundeliegenden Lernmaterialien zugreifen können und entsprechend die zur Bearbeitung der Lernaufgaben benötigten Lerninhalte aus dem Gedächtnis abrufen müssen. Ein Closed-Book-Format von auf Konstruktion zielenden Lernaufgaben verspricht im Grunde also, dass zentrale Lernaktivitäten (Wissenskonstruktion und Abrufübung) , also mit Lernaufgabe angeregt werden. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird die Befundlage zu diesem Closed-Book-Format beleuchtet und es werden zentrale offene Fragen für die zukünftige Forschung zu diesem Format herausgearbeitet. Zudem wird diskutiert, welche Vorzüge und Nachteile ein Closed-Book-Format, bei dem Abrufübung und Wissenskonstruktion im Grunde simultan angeregt werden, gegenüber einer sequentiellen Anregung von Wissenskonstruktion und Abrufübung haben könnte.Learning tasks that engage learners in generative learning activities such as organization and elaboration foster comprehension. In terms of fostering long-term retention, however, generative learning tasks are not optimal—learning tasks that engage learners in practicing retrieval from memory have been shown to yield better consolidation effects. Against this background, in recent years several attempts that aimed at realizing substantial memory consolidation in generative learning tasks have been conducted. One of the approaches that has been pursued in this context is to implement generative learning tasks in a , in which the learners can no longer access the learning material while they are working on the generative learning tasks and accordingly have to retrieve the idea units that are required for working on the generative learning tasks from memory. A closed-book format of generative learning tasks basically promises that two types of important learning activities (generative learning activities and retrieval practice) are stimulated at once, i.e. with one learning task. In this paper, the findings on this closed-book format of generative learning tasks are examined and key open questions for future research on this format are identified. We also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a closed-book format, in which retrieval practice and generative learning activities are basically stimulated simultaneously, over a sequential stimulation of generative learning and retrieval practice
