Western medieval legal manuscripts in the collections of the University of Pennsylvania
No full textWestern legal manuscripts of the Middle Ages in North American collections are among the least known to scholars. The University of Pennsylvania has a rich collection of these texts, several of which were in the collection of the historian Henry Charles Lea. Included are works of civil law and canon law, as well as collections of papal letters and guides to pastoral care. The descriptions of most of these manuscripts in the catalog of Norman P. Zacour and Rudolf Hirsch are perfunctory, sometimes erring or omitting valuable information. Other manuscripts were added in recent years in the Lawrence J. Schoenberg Collection. Much of this material is being added to the Franklin online catalog of the University’s libraries, but researchers frequently do not search these digital resources. This article provides more complete guidance to the University’s medieval legal manuscripts than any of the existing catalogs offers, whether in print or online. It also provides updated bibliographic information in print or online. Every manuscript has been examined by the author in situ. Among the important works represented in the collection is the Panormia (a work of canon law often attributed to Ivo of Chartres). Authors present include the curialist Thomas of Capua, canonists Petrus de Braco, William of Pagula, Bernardus Raimundi, Adam of Aldersbach, Raymond of Peñafort, and civil lawyers Baldus de Ubaldis, and Bartolus de Saxoferrato. Three of these manuscripts were owned in the past by Sir Thomas Phillipps

An Efficient Thermal Elimination Pathway toward Phosphodiester Hydrogels via a Precursor Approach
No full textPhosphodiester hydrogels offer a wide range of fascinating properties. Not only do they exhibit excellent hemocompatibility and cellular compatibility, they also show a remarkable resistance to protein adsorption, thereby limiting the foreign body response. In this work, phosphodiester-crosslinked hydrogels are produced by a simple free-radical polymerization of a phosphotriester crosslinker. In a second step, this material is transformed to the phosphodiester, by heating it up to 60 degrees C in phosphate-buffered saline. Compared to earlier methods, there is no need for acids, bases, or oxidizing agents to achieve this final conversion to the phosphodiester. This method thus reduces the risk to damage or degrade any sensitive biomolecules that might be of interest to tissue engineers, such as various growth factors or other proteins. The phosphotriester crosslinker is readily synthesized out of common laboratory chemicals in multigram quantities with good yield and easy workup and purification.</p
Early Risk, Attention, and Brain Activation in Adolescents Born Preterm
No full textThe relations among early cumulative medical risk, cumulative environmental risk, attentional control, and brain activation were assessed in 15 – 16-year-old adolescents who were born preterm. Functional magnetic resonance imaging found frontal, temporal, and parietal cortex activation during an attention task with greater activation of the left superior-temporal and left supramarginal gyri associated with better performance. Individual differences in early cumulative risk are related to patterns of brain activation such that medical risk is related to left parietal cortex activation and environmental risk is related to temporal lobe activation. The findings suggest that early risk is related to less mature patterns of brain activation, including reduced efficiency of processing and responding to stimuli.This is the accepted version of the following article: Carmody, D. P., Bendersky, M., Dunn, S. M., DeMarco, J. K., Hegyi, T., Hiatt, M. and Lewis, M. (2006), Early Risk, Attention, and Brain Activation in Adolescents Born Preterm.

History of Basket Ball by Thomas J. Browne
No full textAn article written by Thomas J. Browne entitled “The History of Basket Ball” which appeared in Spalding’s Official Basket Ball Guide for 1898. The article was also Browne's graduate thesis at Springfield College (then the International YMCA Training School). The article contains an outline and a bibliography and begins by explaining how James Naismith, upon the urging of Dr. Luther Gulick, head of the physical department at the International YMCA Training School, invented the game as well as how it quickly spread throughout the Young Men’s Christian Association. As the game spread, leagues were created which led to tournaments all of which helped to popularize the YMCA. There was some resistance to these leagues as some found them to be too competitive and aggressive, they monopolized use of the gymnasium and put the focus on winning and not physical fitness. The author discusses surveys that were sent to Physical Directors and Secretaries of the YMCA and the overall conclusion of those surveys was that basket ball leagues increased participation and membership at the YMCA and was an overall positive addition to the Association. Among the pages of this article are photographs of some of the first basketball teams as well as citations as to where the author found the information for his article. The last five pages of the article are charts and graphs which visually display the results of the surveys.Pages 17-20 were scanned on 2011-08-09. This article also exists as Browne's thesis within the archives. There are two handwritten versions of the thesis which vary slightly from each other
Bulk heterojunction organic solar cells based on soluble poly(thienylene vinylene) derivatives
No full textWe report on the comparison of photophysical and photovoltaic properties of three different soluble alkyl derivatives of the low bandgap poly(2,5-thienylene vinylene) (ptv), synthesized using the dithiocarbamate precursor route. The solubility of the precursor material in dichlorobenzene is enhanced by the addition of hexyl, dihexyl and dodecyl sidegroups to the polymer chain. The materials were characterized in solid state by means of absorption, ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy of films made from both the pristine alkyl-ptvs and alkyl-ptvs:([6,6]-phenyl c61-butyric acid methyl ester) (pcbm) mixtures in a 1:1 ratio. The materials showed an optical bandgap below 1.7 ev, derived from the absorption spectrum of the polymers. Field-effect transistors made of these materials showed hole mobilities in the range of 10-7 to 10-6 cm2/vs. Bulk heterojunction solar cells made with the polymer:pcbm blend reached efficiencies above 0.6%
