Kurt R. Weiss
No full textDr. Kurt R. Weiss is an associate professor in the University of Pittsburgh Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Division of Musculoskeletal Oncology. He has joint appointments in Surgical Oncology and Pathology. He serves as an Advisory Dean for the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and as Vice Chair of Translational Research for his Department. His research career began as an undergraduate student at Notre Dame when he worked in the Ferguson Laboratory with Dr. Christopher Evans. During medical school at Jefferson Medical College, he performed a summer research internship with Dr. Eugenie Kleinerman at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Between his second and third years of medical school he participated in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute/National Institutes of Health Research Scholars Program where he worked in Dr. Lee Helman’s Laboratory in the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Pediatric Oncology Branch. During residency he performed original osteosarcoma research during his lab year with Dr. Johnny Huard. After his fellowship in Musculoskeletal Oncology at the University of Toronto with Drs. Jay Wunder and Peter Ferguson, Dr. Weiss was recruited back to Pittsburgh by his Chairman, Dr. Freddie Fu, as faculty and started his own Lab.
The Musculoskeletal Oncology Laboratory (MOL) is focused on sarcoma metastatic potential. Dr. Weiss’s team of PhD collaborators, residents, medical students, undergraduate students, and technicians perform basic and translational sarcoma research experiments. Much of this work is accomplished with samples from the Musculoskeletal Oncology Tumor Registry and Tissue Bank (MOTOR) that Dr. Weiss and his clinical partners established in 2012. The MOTOR now holds over 16,000 unique samples from over 600 sarcoma patients with clinical annotation, making it one of the largest sarcoma tissue repositories in the country. This resource provides vital biological reagents for both intramural and extramural sarcoma investigators who collaborate with the MOL.
Dr. Weiss is an author on over 80 peer-reviewed publications. He recently finished his term as Research Committee Chair for the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society, the largest professional society for musculoskeletal oncology surgeons on the continent of North America. He is on the Mentorship Committee for the Connective Tissue Oncology Society, for which he has also served on the Board of Directors. He was recently named to the Scientific Steering Committee of the Sarcoma Alliance for Research through Collaboration (SARC), the largest private supporter of sarcoma clinical trials in the world. He has taught at the Orthopedic Research Society grant writing course for many years. Dr. Weiss is a regular reviewer for NCI grant applications and was on the inaugural Programmatic Panel for the Department of Defense Rare Cancers Research Program. His funding sources have included K08 and R21 awards from the NCI as well as the support of numerous foundations including the Orthopedic Research and Education Foundation and the Connective Tissue Oncology Society. Dr. Weiss is a founding member of the Pittsburgh Cure Sarcoma (PCS) patient advocacy group, as well as the Pittsburgh Sarcoma Research Collaborative (PSaRC).https://openworks.mdanderson.org/kleinermanbios/1004/thumbnail.jp
Peter Weiss, Spain: Peter Weiss, Painting

First, it re-discovers the relation that the author supports with Spain following the analysis of relevant documents.

Determination of lead isotope ratios in seawater by quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry after Mg(OH)2 co-precipitation
No full textA low blank Mg(OH)2 pre-concentration method was evaluated for the determination of lead isotope ratios (208Pb/206Pb, 207Pb/206Pb) in seawater using a quadrupole ICP-MS VG Plasma Quad II+. Possible matrix effects derived from the Mg(OH)2 co-precipitate were assessed by spiking lead-free seawater (PbFS) and 1% (v/v) HNO3 with the certified common lead standard NBS 981 to give solutions with concentrations in the lower picogram per millilitre range. The standard curves for all three masses were linear in both matrices with minor signal loss (18%) in the Mg matrix. Mass fractionation showed similar mass biases (<2% frac./amu) for 208Pb/206Pb and 207Pb/206Pb in both seawater and 1% (v/v) HNO3, indicating that there is no significant matrix influence on the isotope ratio determination. Using the Mg(OH)2 precipitation method, real seawater samples were pre-concentrated approximately 28-fold, and 1 ml of 5% (v/v) HNO3 end volume was used for the subsequent measurement. The data acquisition parameters dwell time, replicates per analysis, and acquisition time were first varied to optimize analytical precision and accuracy of the ICP-MS measurements. On the basis of these results, approximately 0.5 ml of pre-concentrated solution was finally used employing a low-flow, CETAC microconcentric nebulizer to minimize sample consumption and extend acquisition time. Analyzing 18 seawater samples from the North Atlantic, the average 1? external precision of triplicate measurements was approximately 0.3% for both ratios, 208Pb/206Pb and 207Pb/206Pb, at the level of approximately 20 pg ml?1 Pb. Blanks accounted for less than 3% of total lead analyzed for each sample. Six samples were also measured with TIMS and agreed in average within 0.26% for 207Pb/206Pb and 0.37% for 208Pb/206Pb. Three surface water samples from the Sargasso Sea, collected in 1989, showed ratios in line with previous published ratios from the western North Atlantic.<br/
Films by Peter Weiss
No full textThis doctoral thesis deals with Peter Weiss’ (1916-1982) films and some of his never finished attempts. The focus is in general on Weiss’ film work activities in the 1950’s, when film held the very central place in his works of art. The intention has been to interrogate what short films Peter Weiss made and to find out the meaning and the role of film in the life of the artist Peter Weiss. The conclusion is that Peter Weiss fought with personal difficulties in expressing himself in a language — a language of words and a language of signs — because it is assumed that Peter Weiss carried a very strong will to become an author. In order to “conquer the words” Weiss exercised himself in describing all kinds of worlds — an interior one as well as an exterior one. That explains why he dealt with surrealist psychological subjects and documentary forms while making films

Symplectic Weiss calculi
No full textWe provide two candidates for symplectic Weiss calculus based on two
different, but closely related, collections of groups. In the case of the
non-compact symplectic groups, i.e., automorphism groups of vector spaces with
symplectic forms, we show that the calculus deformation retracts onto unitary
calculus as a corollary of the fact that Weiss calculus only depends on the
homotopy type of the groupoid core of the diagram category. In the case of the
compact symplectic groups, i.e., automorphism groups of quaternion vector
spaces, we provide a comparison with the other known versions of Weiss calculus
analogous to the comparisons of calculi of the second named author, and
classify certain stably trivial quaternion vector bundles over finite cell
complexes in a range, using elementary results on convergence of Weiss calculi.Comment: 30 page
