Comics as a Way of Doing, Encountering, and Making Religion
No full textWhat can be learned from the research presented in Culture, Comics, and Religion. Faith imagined? De Groot collects and systematizes the results and suggests paths for further research. He shows how comics are a way of doing, encountering, and making religion in liquid modernity, and argues that comics deserve more attention from the perspective of material religion, lived religion, and fiction-based religion
TACC3-ch-TOG track the growing tips of microtubules independently of clathrin and Aurora-A phosphorylation
No full textThe interaction between TACC3 (transforming acidic coiled coil protein 3) and the microtubule polymerase ch-TOG (colonic, hepatic tumor overexpressed gene) is evolutionarily conserved. Loading of TACC3–ch-TOG onto spindle microtubules requires the phosphorylation of TACC3 by Aurora-A kinase and the subsequent interaction of TACC3 with clathrin to form a microtubule binding surface. Whether there is a pool of TACC3–ch-TOG that is independent of clathrin in human cells, and what is the function of this pool, are open questions. Here, we report that TACC3 is recruited to the plus-ends of microtubules by its association with ch-TOG and that this pool is independent of phosphorylation and binding to clathrin. The plus-end binding of TACC3–ch-TOG persists in interphase and we propose that one cellular function of TACC3–ch-TOG is to modulate cell migration. We also describe the distinct subcellular pools of TACC3, ch-TOG and clathrin. TACC3 is often described as a centrosomal protein, but we show that there is no significant population of TACC3 at centrosomes. The delineation of distinct protein pools reveals a simplified view of how these proteins are organized and controlled by post-translational modification
Raphaëlle de Groot : En exercice
No full text"This publication was produced by the Galerie de l’UQAM as part of an exhibition which took place from February 24 to April 1, 2006. The essay by Louise Déry presents the work site of Raphaëlle de Groot, who extended her original inquiry into the figure and roles of the artist by literally “exercising” in front of the exhibition’s visitors. The author also describes a vast project at the Cerutti textile factory in Biella, Italy, carried out by the artist during a residency at the Pistoletto Foundation in Biella. Yann Pocreau contributes an exercise in temporal writing modelled on the work of the artist, whose own texts, also presented here, are an essential complement to this volume." -- Publisher's websit
Comics and Religion in Liquid Modernity
No full textSince the early twenty-first century, the study of comic books, manga, and graphic novels has taken off. Religion is involved with comics in several ways. De Groot distinguishes four questions. How do religions use and respond to comics? How do comics represent and criticize religion? When does the social role of comics resemble the social role of religion? And finally: what and how do comics teach about religion, culture, and society? These issues structure a systematic collection of essays that gives an impetus to the new field of research into comics and religion from a sociological perspective. In liquid modernity, the articulation of the sacred is no longer governed by religions. Religion is both “in there,” and “out there,” mediatized also by cartoons, comics, and animated movies

De Omgevingswet als groot ICT-project
No full textBinnen de planologie is veel onderzoek gedaan naar grote stedelijke projecten. De bij besluitvorming voorgestelde kosten en baten van zulke projecten zijn notoir onbetrouwbaar gebleken. Grote projecten kosten meestal meer dan geraamd, de realisatie duurt langer en de maatschappelijke baten vallen vaak tegen. Ook de Omgevingswet en het bijbehorende digitale stelsel kan worden beschouwd als een groot ICT-project. Niets wijst erop dat de Omgevingswet een van de schaarse positieve uitzonderingen zal vormen op de gangbare praktijk van grote projecten.Accepted Author ManuscriptOLD Geo-information and Land Developmen
The structural and electrical properties of thermally grown TiO2 thin films
No full textWe studied the structural and electrical properties of TiO2 thin films grown by thermal oxidation of e-beam evaporated Ti layers on Si substrates. Time of flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS) was used to analyse the interfacial and chemical composition of the TiO2 thin films. Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitors with Pt or Al as the top electrode were fabricated to analyse electrical properties of the TiO2 thin films. We show that the reactivity of the Al top contact affects electrical properties of the oxide layers. The current transport mechanism in the TiO2 thin films is shown to be Poole–Frenkel (P–F) emission at room temperature. At 84 K, Fowler– Nordheim (F–N) tunnelling and trap-assisted tunnelling are observed. By comparing the electrical characteristics of thermally grown TiO2 thin films with the properties of those grown by other techniques reported in the literature, we suggest that, irrespective of the deposition technique, annealing of as-deposited TiO2 in O2 is a similar process to thermal oxidation of Ti thin films

Shape-induced anisotropy in antidot arrays from self-assembled templates
No full textUsing self-assembly of polystyrene spheres, well-ordered templates have been prepared on glass and silicon substrates. Strong guiding of self-assembly is obtained on photolithographically structured silicon substrates. Magnetic antidot arrays with three-dimensional architecture have been prepared by electrodeposition in the pores of these templates. The shape anisotropy demonstrates a crucial impact on magnetization reversal processes
