Bethell’s “Leaves of Gold”: An Unpublished Poem
No full textUrsula Bethell left a number of unpublished poems and fragments in her papers when she died which are now contained in her archive. They include an early work, extant in two copies, in which she translates ‘Les feuilles d’or’, a poem by a little-known Swiss poet, Henry Spiess. The translation was intended for a competition in The Westminster Gazette in 1904, but Bethell never submitted her entry. Spiess’s poem is clearly influenced by the French Symbolists; Bethell’s strikingly effective translation is sensitive to that influence and shows remarkable technical sophistication. In addition, it anticipates in many ways the major concerns of her first volume of poetry. The poem is published here for the first time, and its connections with Bethell’s mature work explored.Peter Whiteford is a Professor of English Literature at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.Correspondence about this article may be directed to the author at [email protected]</jats:p

Adamantylidene revisited: flash photolysis of adamantanediazirine
No full textIrradiation of 2-adamantane-2,3'-[3H]-diazirine (1) in isooctane at room temperature gives two primary photoproducts, 2-diazoadamantane and 2-adamantylidene (Ad:), with quantum yields of about 0.5 each. The fluorescence quantum yield of 1 is small, phi(f) approximate to 10(-4). The reactivity of Ad: was studied by nanosecond laser flash photolysis; it is best described as that of a carbene equilibrating between the singlet ground state and a low-lying triplet state. Ad: reacts with the precursor diazirine 1, pyridine, acetonitrile, tetramethylethylene, amines, water, and acetic acid with rate constants approaching the diffusion-controlled limit, as well as with molecular oxygen (k(O2) = 2.3 x 10(9) M-1 s(-t)). Reaction of Ad: with 1 (k(X) = 3.6 x 10(9) M-1 s(-1)) gives an ylide, lambda(max) = 290 nm, which forms adamantanone azine as a stable product by a reaction having activation parameters E-a = 15.5 kcal mol(-1) and A = 2 x 10(12) s(-t). At low concentrations of 1 in thoroughly dry, degassed solvents, the lifetime of Ad: reaches ca. 225 ns in isooctane, 500 ns in perfluorodecalin, and 700 ns in benzene. Diazoadamantane forms azine by a second-order reaction with a half-life of several hours at 10(-4) concentration. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.

Meningococcal vaccines.
No full textThe successful introduction of a protein-polysaccharide conjugate vaccine against serogroup C meningococci into the UK infant immunization schedule, in combination with a catch-up campaign for individuals less than 18 years of age, has seen virtually all group C disease eliminated in childhood. From being a devastating disease with a very high mortality, the possibility of eradicating invasive meningococcal disease now seems eminently feasible. Since similar technology is likely to facilitate prevention of disease caused be serogroup A, Y and W135 meningococci, the major hurdle in achieving the goal of eradication is development of a safe and immunogenic vaccine against serogroup B infections. Outer membrane vesicle vaccines remain in development and further trials are anticipated. Through the recent availability of the meningococcal genome sequence, many new vaccine candidates are being identified and there is increasing optimism that a solution to the problem can be found
