Its racial laws, built on the principles of white supremacy and exclusivity, were among the most restrictive in the antebellum North. Illinois’s legal code discouraged blacks from moving to the state and severely circumscribed the rights of those who did. Yet, only weeks before the Civil War ended, Illinois lawmakers repealed the state’s most oppressive black laws. This dissertation explores how the war destabilized the racial order that white Illinoisans had constructed. It travels from the home front to the frontlines in order to understand the ways civilians and soldiers responded to a war that evolved into an assault on slavery. As Illinois soldiers became willing participants in the process of emancipation, Republicans back at home strove to eliminate the vestiges of slavery by striking down state statutes that denied blacks natural rights and equal protection under the law.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I only', the embargo will last until 2017-05-01Made available in DSpace on 2015-07-22T22:33:36Z (GMT).

    ArcInTex Network Conference, 8-10 April 2025, School of Arts, Design and Architecture, Aalto University, Helsinki, FinlandCAPACITIVE FOLDING JACQUARD WEAVE: The series of samples are resulting from the collaboration between the Kyoto Prefectural Institute for Northern Industry and the international Textiles Summer School in Kyoto network initiated and directed by Prof. Julia Cassim. The aim is to explore new product possibilities using the weave, yarn, and process technology of Tango chirimen crêpe, a traditional kimono fabric from Kyoto. The project combines multi-layered self-pleated structure of textiles with the principle of capacitance, sensing the changes in capacitance caused by the expansion and contraction of the pleats to produce a sound as with an accordion. Conceived as a pedagogical tool, the aim was to introduce the students to both Jacquard weave and the notion of capacitance in e-textiles. The design concept pays homage to Issey Miyake’s ‘Pleats, Please!’. This work was developed during Kyoto Textiles Summer School initiated and directed by Prof. Julia Cassim. The concept of the project was advanced by Dr. Tincuta Heinzel and to pay homage to Issey Miyake’s ‘Pleats, Please!’. Tincuta Heinzel is the author of the preliminary drawings and weaving notations, Yukihiro Tokumoto contributed to the final technical files and weaved the prototype, Tomohiro Inoue developed the digital visual and audio interface; Suguru Goto composed the sound samples.WEAVED COIL: The samples reunited here are part of series of research related to the development of textiles-based sensors. The focus was on the construction of a weaved Rogowski coil low-cost sensor which can measure load on a 3 core cable. The modelling and three embroidered prototypes have been presented here: https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1049/stg2.12047. For “Scale in Textiles” exhibition we present the preliminary prototypes and the weaved coil samples, as well as a poster with the technical details and preliminary analysis related to the weaved coil samples. This work is the result of Prof. Dani Strickland’s research on low–cost sensing technology for 3 core cables for smart energy grids to substitute the present-day more expensive Rogowski –coil technology. The electronic circuit was designed by Prof. Dani Strickland. The weaved coils prototypes were developed by Dr. Tincuta Heinzel and Cosmina Maria Anghel. The embroidered prototypes were developed by Bee King. Dr. Mina Abedi Varnosfaderani ran the measuring of the developed sensors. Alana Zeidler (Leeds University, UK) and Dr. Rob Seager (Loughborough University, UK) contributed to the modelling of the developed sensor.© the editors, shared with permissions</p

    O zagrebačkom gospodarstveniku Vjekoslavu Heinzelu (1871. – 1934.)

    Born in Zagreb, V. Heinzel was linked to this city during his entire life. For eighteen years he worked as an architect, ten years as President of the Chamber of Commerce and Enterprises, and eight years as mayor. In each of these services, Heinzel accomplished significant results. The author discusses Heinzel's last two services during which Zagreb developed Industries and became a modern Mid-European city. Under his leadership, the preconditions for the construction of Zvonimirova and Martićeva streets were created, constructed a new fair-ground in the street that now bears his name, ordered that the industrial zone should be in the Žitnjak region, and built a temporary system of dams along Sava river. Heinzel was also responsible for eliminating taxes for ten years, which spurred the housing industry. In short, Heinzel made Zagreb into a modern Croatian metropolis.Vjekoslav Heinzel istaknuta je ličnost Zagreba, grada koji ove godine slavi svoju 900. obljetnicu. No ova je godina i 60. godišnjica Heinzelove smrti, a u isto vrijeme i prva mogućnost da se o Heinzelu kaže istina i da se ukaže na njegovu veličinu kao tvorca modernog Zagreba i vrlo uspješnog djelatnika pri procesu uključivanja Zagreba i Hrvatske u srednju Europu

    Liquid Metals as Efficient High-Temperature Heat-Transport Fluids

    No full text
    Liquid metals appear to be attractive heat-transport fluids, in particular if looking at their high thermal conductivities and low viscosities. Despite some pioneering technical applications in the past, complex handling, special requirements, safety concerns, and structural degradation of the materials have prevented their widespread application. However, progress in research and development on liquid-metal science and technology has advanced considerably in the last decade, and this has opened the gate to their broader use in the short term. This requires a more differentiated view on liquid metals, particularly on the specific properties of individual fluids within the context of specific applications. By doing so, many commonly mentioned prejudices vanish or are of minor significance. At the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, a comprehensive research program on liquid-metal technology has been pursued for more than 50years, and some of the advances in different applications will be outlined in this article

    Langfristiger Verlauf der Nierenfunktion nierentransplantierter Patienten unter hohen bzw. niedrigen Cyclosporinspiegeln

    No full text
    Die Nephrotoxizität von Cyclosporin A ist hinreichend bekannt. Interessant bleiben die prognostische Relevanz und die Dosisabhängigkeit des Langzeittransplantatüberlebens. Die Fragestellung dieser Studie war, ob der langfristige Verlauf der Nierenfunktion nierentransplantierter Patienten über fünf Jahre unter niedrigen (150ng/ml) Cyclosporinspiegeln unterschiedlich ist. Die Retentionswerte und die Kreatinin-Clearance zeigten zwischen den Gruppen keinen signifikanten Unterschied, im Gegensatz zum Verlauf des Serumphosphats: Hier fielen in Gruppe A anfangs erniedrigte Werte auf, die sich im Verlauf in den Normbereich einstellten, in Gruppe B war ein Abfall von zunächst erhöhten auf zuletzt hochnormale Werte zu beobachten, was durch eine im Verlauf schlechtere tubuläre Reabsorption erklärbar ist. Dies zeigt, dass unterschiedliche Cyclosporinspiegel nicht zwangsläufig die Gesamtprognose des Transplantates im Langzeitverlauf verschlechtern müssen. Nephrotoxicity of cyclosporine is well known. Prognostic relevance and dose-dependance of long term graft survival remain interesting. The question of this study was, wether the long term outcome over five years of renal function in patients with renal transplant is different under low (150ng/ml) levels of cyclosporine. The laboratory test results concerning renal retention and the clearance of creatinine didn’t differ significantly, in contrast to the serum-phosphate-levels. Group A first showed reduced serum-phosphate, that increased to normal in the end, whereas in group B there was a decrease from first exalted serum-phosphate to finaly high normal levels. This can be explained by an impaired tubular reabsorption. It shows, that different cyclosporine-levels do not have to worsen long term graft outcome

    Patented patterns: On the art and science of patterns. A critical inquiry.

    No full text
    The present paper proposes a critical reflection on the existing relationship between patterns, algorithms and their patentable status. Based on a series of legal actions related to the use of patterns (Robert Lang against Sarah Morris, Mexican indigenous peoples against Isabel Marant, Apple patent on some gestures, etc.) it will analyse the already existing legal interpretations of what a pattern is and will discuss in which way these cases can establish a precedent for today’s digitalized environments. Defined both as form of stylistic and cultural expression, as well as logical forms, patterns are becoming elements of high importance for the present digital modelization technologies (see, for example, pattern recognition algorithms). Therefore, the legal status of a pattern is becoming a field of political battle. Notions like author and collective author, cultural tradition and logical form, creative commons and intellectual property are at stake in this context. The implications are of social, political and economic importance and this paper will sketch out some of the short-comings when it comes to their use and application, their implicit ideologies, as well as arts and sciences disciplinary divisions
