Het Arsenaal / The Armoury
No full textAbout the work of Koen Deprez, introduction to Koen Deprez' Armoury:
Koen Deprez’ armoury reveals itself as a conglomerate of strategies as a reaction to pregnant social questions which are expressed in models, drawings and words. Meticulously framed, elaborately crafted they compel us to be read carefully. The Armoury is the place where Koen Deprez crafts his means to construct meaningful buildings and spaces. Within The Armoury Koen Deprez assembles stories, from time to time crafted word by word. His oeuvre fascinates by its consistency, consequent inner logic and determinacy. Koen Deprez’ work situates itself somewhere between reality and fiction, between object and architecture, between literature and poetry.
Omtrent het werk van Koen Deprez, inleiding tot Koen Deprez' Arsenaal:
Het arsenaal van Koen Deprez manifesteert zich als een geheel van strategieën als antwoord op reële maatschappelijke vragen en gebeurtenissen geformuleerd in tekeningen, woorden en modellen. Minutieus gekaderd, tot in het detail afgewerkt dwingen ze ons tot aandachtig lezen. Arsenaal, afkomstig van het Arabische dâr-sinâ'a, betekent “huis waar iets gemaakt wordt”(1) en in het huis van Koen Deprez worden verhalen gemaakt, soms zelfs woord voor woord gebouwd. Arsenaal verwijst ook naar de middelen die Koen Deprez inzet om zijn doel, het maken van betekenisvolle gebouwen en ruimtes, te bereiken. Zijn oeuvre fascineert door haar consequentie, consistentie en vastberadenheid en situeert zich ergens tussen realiteit en fictie, tussen architectuur en object, tussen literatuur en poëzie.sponsorship: I.s.m.

No full textData for: The role of ink-bottle pores in freeze-thaw damage of oolithic limestone
No full textTo investigate the impact of the saturation degree on Savonnières limestone, a freeze-thaw cycle of a total of six hours was performed on eight cylindrical limestone samples. The strain was monitored by an LVDT placed at the top flat surface of each cylinder. The temperature was also measured both inside (T in) and at the surface (T out) of the samples by K-type thermocouples. The samples were 38 mm in height with a diameter of 20 mm. A hole of 10 mm deep was drilled to be able to monitor the inner temperature. Each sample had a different degree of water saturation. This is indicated in the titles of the different worksheets. Samples 1 to 6 had a water saturation degree starting from 50 % at sample 1 and rising with 10 % for every sample until 100 % saturation was reached in sample 6. These samples were saturated by fully saturating them in vacuum conditions and subsequent drying until appropriate weight was reached. Samples 7 and 8 were water saturated by imbibition under atmospherical conditions for 48 hours. Both of these samples reached 48 % saturation. The samples were subsequently sealed with aluminum foil and plastic tape to prevent evaporation and they were stored for 24 hours at 4 °C. Before they were put into the climate test chamber, the top and bottom part of the cylinders were stripped from their seal and dried by pressing them onto a dry cloth for 5 minutes and by blowing air onto them for 2 minutes. This action prevents influence of ice extrusion onto the LVDT during the freeze-thaw cycle.Finally, the samples were subjected to a freeze-thaw cycle. After half an hour at 10 °C, the temperature decreased for 1.5 hours towards -15 °C. There it remains for half an hour to rise again for 1.5 hours to 10 °C. Here the temperature is then kept constant at 10 °C for two hours.The raw measurements are time, length change in µm and temperature at two locations. The length change is then converted to strain by dividing the length change by the original length. The strain values here are given in m/m

Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.
No full textIFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
