Oral History Interview with Andrew Joseph Brenner, Sr., November 3, 2009
No full textInterview with Joseph Andrew Brenner Sr., Hungarian-American immigrant to Weatherford, Texas, as part of the DFW Metroplex Immigrants Oral History Project. The interview includes Brenner's personal experiences of childhood and education in Budapest, Hungary, having a career as a tool and die machinist, the involvement with his brothers in anti-Soviet and anti-Communist resistance movements, being captured by Hungarian political police and subsequent torture, his sentence in a Soviet work camp, escaping across the Austrian border, and coping with memories of torture. Additionally, Brenner discusses his father's service in the German Luftwaffe, memories of the Soviet Army entering Budapest in 1945, immigrating to the U.S., settling in Weatherford, his efforts to maintain connections with family in Hungary, and the process of earning his citizenship. The interview includes an appendix with photographs

Brenner 2020 – Ntano – Audio 3
No full textMontage by Klaus-Peter Brenner of two audio tracks: (1) Malaŵian Sena ntano polyphonic multi-part singing. Track B3 from Gerhard Kubik and Moya Aliya Malamusi (1989), Südliches Malaŵi. Musiker aus Malaŵi. “Opeka nyimbo” Musiker-Komponisten. / Southern Malaŵi: Musicians from Malaŵi. “Opeka nyimbo” Musician-composers. Berlin: Musikethnologische Abteilung, Museum für Völkerkunde Berlin, Staatliche Museen Preußischer Kulturbesitz. MC 15. Double LP. (2) Excerpt of the Shona mbira dzavadzimu piece “Nhemamusasa”, kushaura and kutsinhira parts both played by the author; one harmonic cycle extracted, looped and tempo digitally increased according to the original tempo of recording (1). Excerpts of both tracks are looped and digitally superimposed in order to demonstrate their remarkable degree of structural congruence.

Mechanism of signal propagation in Physarum polycephalum
No full textComplex behaviors are typically associated with animals, but the capacity to integrate information and function as a coordinated individual is also a ubiquitous but poorly understood feature of organisms such as slime molds and fungi. Plasmodial slime molds grow as networks and use flexible, undifferentiated body plans to forage for food. How an individual communicates across its network remains a puzzle, but Physarum polycephalum has emerged as a novel model used to explore emergent dynamics. Within P. polycephalum, cytoplasm is shuttled in a peristaltic wave driven by cross-sectional contractions of tubes. We first track P. polycephalum's response to a localized nutrient stimulus and observe a front of increased contraction. The front propagates with a velocity comparable to the flow-driven dispersion of particles. We build a mathematical model based on these data and in the aggregate experiments and model identify the mechanism of signal propagation across a body: The nutrient stimulus triggers the release of a signaling molecule. The molecule is advected by fluid flows but simultaneously hijacks flow generation by causing local increases in contraction amplitude as it travels. The molecule is initiating a feedback loop to enable its own movement. This mechanism explains previously puzzling phenomena, including the adaptation of the peristaltic wave to organism size and P. polycephalum's ability to find the shortest route between food sources. A simple feedback seems to give rise to P. polycephalum's complex behaviors, and the same mechanism is likely to function in the thousands of additional species with similar behaviors
