    Drawing on the unique historical sites, archives, expertise, and unquestioned authority of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, the New York Times bestselling authors Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón have created the first authorized graphic biography of Anne Frank. Their account is complete, covering the lives of Anne's parents, Edith and Otto; Anne's first years in Frankfurt, the rise of Franks' immigration to Amsterdam; war and occupation; Anne's years in the Secret Annex, betrayal and arrest her deportation and tragic death in Bergen-Belsen; the survival of Anne's father, and his recovery and publication of her astounding diaryHill and WangA Hopeful Beginning Annelies Marie Frank The Growth of Nazism Amsterdam Under German Rule The Diary The Eight Hiders The New Year Discovery The Story Lives On Chronology Suggestions for Further Reading Acknowledgment

    The Jacobson radical of rings with nilpotent homogeneous elements

    No full text
    A result of Bergman says that the Jacobson radical of a graded algebra is homogeneous. It is shown that while graded Jacobson radical algebras have homogeneous elements nilpotent, it is not the case that graded algebras all of whose homogeneous elements are nilpotent are Jacobson radical. To contrast this, the following result of the author is slightly extended. Let R be a graded algebra generated in the degree one. If for every n, the n x n matrix algebra over R has all homogeneous elements nilpotent, then R is Jacobson radical.</p

    A world unconquered the art of Oscar Brousse Jacobson

    Surveys the career of this important yet often overlooked artist. Following his study at Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas with Birger Sandzén, Jacobson became an advocate for modernism and embraced the wilderness as his primary subject. Drawn to the seemingly inhospitable and desolate, Jacobson favored the desert, which eventually led him to paint the Sahara in 1925-26. He balanced a productive painting career with an inexorable desire to promote appreciation for and knowledge of world cultures in the new state of Oklahoma. Jacobson organized exhibits of Asian, Native American, and North African art and culture at University of Oklahoma and played an important role in facilitating New Deal post office murals throughout the state. Published in conjunction with a retrospective exhibition of Jacobson's career, "A World Unconquered" offers the first critical analysis of his work as both an artist and a cultural figure and coincides with the centennial of his arrival in Oklahoma in 1915.--Dust jacket fla

    «Che cos'è la verità». L'apocrifo delle sentenza di Pilato e la sua storia

    No full text
    Il saggio affronta la storia di un apocrifo, la presunta sentenza di Pilato contro Gesù, e della sua presunta riscoperta all'Aquila nel Cinquecento per affrontare i rapporti tra vero e falso, l'anti-giudaismo moderna e le prime ricostruzioni del processo contro Crist

    Oscar Brousse Jacobson: The Life and Art of a Cosmopolitan Cultural Broker

    No full text
    As a graduate student studying art at Yale, Oscar Brousse Jacobson (1882–1966) pinned his career on the hopes of someday opening an art school in the American West. Jacobson was a Swedish immigrant, but he felt a deep connection to the West because he spent much of his youth on a ranch in Kansas and roamed the greater Southwest by horseback during the late 1800s. Jacobson believed that after he completed his graduate studies in New England, he would eventually return West. He planned to bring great works of art, produce his own paintings, instruct young artists, and foster art appreciation in the underrepresented region. With this dream in mind, he carved out a place for himself among other renowned American artists and art promoters. Many of the choices he made in his life advanced this vision. He traveled throughout the United States and internationally, speaking with local residents and artists, forging connections that would prove useful later as director of an art school. As a cultural broker between the art world and the public, and especially between Indian artists and white consumers, Jacobson contributed most significantly to the enrichment of Oklahoma and the Southwest. His artistic legacy lives on—today and for future generations—through his advancement of Native American art and art history, public art murals across Oklahoma and Texas, and the University of Oklahoma’s Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art

    Formamidinium-Based Dion-Jacobson Layered Hybrid Perovskites: Structural Complexity and Optoelectronic Properties

    No full text
    Layered hybrid perovskites have emerged as a promising alternative to stabilizing hybrid organic–inorganic perovskite materials, which are predominantly based on Ruddlesden-Popper structures. Formamidinium (FA)-based Dion-Jacobson perovskite analogs are developed that feature bifunctional organic spacers separating the hybrid perovskite slabs by introducing 1,4-phenylenedimethanammonium (PDMA) organic moieties. While these materials demonstrate competitive performances as compared to other FA-based low-dimensional perovskite solar cells, the underlying mechanisms for this behavior remain elusive. Here, the structural complexity and optoelectronic properties of materials featuring (PDMA)FAn–1PbnI3n+1 (n = 1–3) formulations are unraveled using a combination of techniques, including X-ray scattering measurements in conjunction with molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations. While theoretical calculations suggest that layered Dion-Jacobson perovskite structures are more prominent with the increasing number of inorganic layers (n), this is accompanied with an increase in formation energies that render n &gt; 2 compositions difficult to obtain, in accordance with the experimental evidence. Moreover, the underlying intermolecular interactions and their templating effects on the Dion-Jacobson structure are elucidated, defining the optoelectronic properties. Consequently, despite the challenge to obtain phase-pure n &gt; 1 compositions, time-resolved microwave conductivity measurements reveal high photoconductivities and long charge carrier lifetimes. This comprehensive analysis thereby reveals critical features for advancing layered hybrid perovskite optoelectronics.</p
