Sara Gossett Crigler Collection - Accession 614
No full textThe Sara Gossett Crigler Collection consists of a microfiche copy of her book titled, Education For Girls And Women In Upper South Carolina Prior to 1890 with Related Miscellaneous Articles: A Compilation by Mrs. Henry Towles Crigler (Sara Gossett Crigler), self-published in Greenville, SC on April 15, 1956. This book also includes many anecdotes and reminiscences of Sara’ family including a section devoted to the slaves owned and later freed after the Civil War by her family. The book is dedicated by the author, Sara Gossett Crigler (1886-1966), to her mother Sallie Brown Gossett (1859-1942) and her aunt Mary Brown Mahon (1861-1948) who were both graduates of Williamston Female College in 1877 and 1879 respectively. The 170 page volume would be useful to anyone doing research on the education of women in South Carolina during the 19th century. The original copy is housed at the South Carolina Historical Society as SCHS 509 and was dedicated and signed by the author, “For the Charleston Library Society” on July 10, 1964.

Materia-autore = Author-Matter
No full textThe etymology of the word author refers to an act of creation, an act of augmentation, from the Latin verb augere. Author instantiates creation, the expansion of the pre-existing. In 1967 Roland Barthes declared the death of the author in his famous essay to state once more that the crisis is that of the author as a single subjectivity and as a term that condenses prestige, undermined by the de-subjectivation strategies of automatism, fortuity and fragmentation of the historical avant-gardes, as well as by the machinic act and by the reproducibility of the second avant-gardes.
Fifty years after Barthes’ paradigmatic formula, this lack of authorship appears to be a successful brand. The ten- sions between the anomie of matter, the law that establishes authorship and the economy that makes the work pos- sible, invoke discordant perspectives. Artists make the self-destruction of their work the real work, and appeal is made for the demolition of architectures, whether by a recognised author or not, in order to re-design, or better still, re-claim the territory. Artificial intelligence consolidates its logics and its design by progressively shedding human ingenuity. The space of criticism becomes, finally, increasingly ephemeral. However, there is an acceptation of criti- cism that is, rather than an individual ‘signature’, an exploration and explanation of how design makes theory.
The binomial author-matter seeks to mark these tensions and contradictions: the featured term author is main- tained to underline the persistence of that prestigious subjectivity, at the very moment when the rhetoric of “mat- ter as an author” promises other forms of authorship
Sara Winthrop Smith letter to Frances Casement, August 14, 1887
No full textLetter written to Frances Casement from Sara Winthrop Smith of Cincinnati, Ohio, August 14, 1887. Winthrop expresses the challenges of generating support for the suffrage movement among the conservative residents of her city, and encourages the creation of clear materials that make the argument for women's suffrage to be more widely distributed.
This item comes from the Frances Jennings Casement Papers, a manuscript collection comprised of letters and association records related to the founding and leadership of the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association. Casement (1840-1928) was born in Painesville, Ohio, and graduated from Painesville Academy and Willoughby Female Seminary. Her father, Charles Casement, supported abolition and women's suffrage and encouraged Frances to be active in social causes. Frances Casement established the Painesville Equal Rights Association in 1883, and shortly after became involved in the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association, serving as its president from 1885 to 1888
Asymmetric modular synthesis of semi-rigid Pro-Gly dipeptide mimetic, as beta turn inducer
No full textAsymmetric modular synthesis of semi-rigid Pro-Gly dipeptide mimetic, as β turn inducer.
Sara Pellegrino, Alessandro Contini, Maria Luisa Gelmi and Emanuela Erba
An important challenge for chemical biology and medicinal chemistry is the development small synthetic molecules able to selective perturb protein–protein interactions (PPI). Researches in this field have been intensively carried out in the early 21th century, allowing the design and preparation of peptidomimetics, molecules that mimic peptides and protein-fragments.
The most prevalent non repetitive motif observed in protein is the four residue β turn, in which proline and glycine residues are generally found in the i+1 and i+2 positions. Many rigid scaffold mimicking this structural motif have been developed during the years, while the sequence Pro-D-pro or D-pro-Pro has been demonstrated an effective semi-rigid reverse turn nucleator.
During our long time researches on multicomponent reaction between sulfonylazides and amidines, we recently developed the click reaction between the morpholino enamine of N-alkyl piperidone and tosyl azide, affording azacycloalkene monosulfonyl diamine 1, through a 5-amino-1,2,3-triazoline decomposition rearrangement.

Considering the biological importance of proline and its involvement in β turn induction, we studied the possibility to apply our synthetic methodology for the preparation of compound 2. The multicomponent reaction was carried out using proline as the secondary amine and in order to obtain compound 2 in enantiopure form, we studied the selective reduction of the obtained double bond. Finally, we evaluated the possibility to use 2 as a semi-rigid β turn inducer in peptide models
L'Onegin di Giovanni Giudici : un'analisi metrico-variantistica
No full textL’inclusione ideale dell’Eugenio Onieghin di Aleksandr S. Puškin in versi italiani nell’opera in versi di Giovanni Giudici è per noi, e da tempo, un dato di fatto (solo ragioni esterne hanno fatto sì che I versi della vita, il «Meridiano» che raccoglie i suoi “Collected Poems”, non contenga l’«impresa di parole» alla quale il nostro poeta si dedicò per almeno un trentennio). In ciò, in fondo, al di là delle diversità di gusto dei lettori, sta la differenza tra il “nostro” (intendo generazionalmente) Eugenio Onieghin e l’Evgenij Onegin tradotto da Ettore Lo Gatto: l’appartenenza indiscussa del primo alla letteratura nella nostra lingua, il suo corrispondere a una «volontà di dire» (giusta la formula dantesca) autorale che è di natura sorgivamente poetica. Il libro di Sara Cerneaz ci mette ora, nei confronti dei suoi primi lettori (rispondano anche ai nomi di Folena e Contini), nella condizione incomparabilmente privilegiata di chi può assistere alle visitazioni, nell’officina del poema, di colei che Giudici chiamava «La Dama non cercata»: quella «che ebbe un tempo nome di Ispirazione». Comincia così, felicemente, una nuova fase nella vita dell’Eugenio Onieghin dentro la letteratura
I bambini stanno bene?
No full textIn questo contibuto, l'autrice parte da alcune domande ricorrenti e quasi inevitabili: "Ma i ragazzi stanno bene? Cresceranno con un peso da portare? Avranno disturbi sociali, sessuali, d'identità di genere?". Per trovare le risposte, l'autrice invita a chiarire cos'è naturale e cosa no, quanto c'è di culturale, sociale, ideologico, storico nel concetto di naturale; cosa rende una famiglia funzionale alla crescita serena dei figli
