Michelson, FitzGerald and Lorentz: the origins of relativity revisited
No full textIt is argued that an unheralded moment marking the beginnings of relativity theory occurred in 1889, when G. F. FitzGerald, no doubt with the puzzling 1887 Michelson-Morley experiment fresh in mind, wrote to Heaviside about the possible effects of motion on inter-molecular forces in bodies. Emphasis is placed on the difference between FitzGerald's and Lorentz's independent justifications of the shape distortion effect involved. Finally, the importance of the their `constructive' approach to kinematics---stripped of any commitment to the physicality of the ether--- will be defended, in the spirit of Pauli, Swann and Bell
Il mito dell'Età del Jazz e la sua elegia: "The Lost Decade" di F. Scott Fitzgerald
No full textI “ruggenti anni Venti”, noti anche come “l’Età del jazz” grazie alla definizione partorita da F. Scott Fitzgerald, sono diventati un vero e proprio mito della modernità transatlantica e occidentale anche e proprio in quanto mito del Modernismo americano. Il “decennio più raccontato e messo in caricatura della storia statunitense”, come è stato descritto, è infatti ricchissimo di capolavori indiscussi, e come tali subito riconosciuti e osannati, oltre che di opere meteoriche di rapida fortuna e altrettanto rapida eclissi, resoconti e testimonianze ancillari, apologie e ritrattazioni, poi reso ancor più fertile e spettacolare dal poliedrico lavoro critico che si è susseguito ininterrotto nel corso del Novecento fin dentro ai primi decenni del nuovo millennio. A fronte dell’appariscenza e della spropositata dilatazione di questo periodo, il presente saggio vuole, di converso, contrarre l’attenzione su un singolo testo, un racconto brevissimo, dimesso, nonché spesso dismesso dalla critica: The Lost Decade (Il decennio perduto) dell’ultimissimo Fitzgerald, apparso nel dicembre del 1939, un anno esatto prima dell’improvvisa morte dello scrittore, non più riconoscibile come “il golden boy del 1920”. Eppure nel paradosso tutto modernista che caratterizza questo raccontino – paradosso che si genera dalla concisione estrema del discorso a fronte dell’epocale estensione cronologica compressa nelle brevi sequenze della storia (gli anni Venti e Trenta) – Fitzgerald riesce a rievocare il mito dell’Età del jazz nel momento stesso in cui con perfetto controllo formale ne scrive, commosso e spietato, l’elegia critica, o meglio, potremmo dire, data la brevità delle 1170 parole che lo costituiscono, l’epigramma di commiato
Myosin-cross-reactive antigen (MCRA) protein from Bifidobacterium breve is a FAD-dependent fatty acid hydratase which has a function in stress protection
No full textpeer-reviewedBackground The aim of this study was to determine the catalytic activity and physiological role of myosin-cross-reactive antigen (MCRA) from Bifidobacterium breve NCIMB 702258. MCRA from B. breve NCIMB 702258 was cloned, sequenced and expressed in heterologous hosts (Lactococcus and Corynebacterium) and the recombinant proteins assessed for enzymatic activity against fatty acid substrates. Results MCRA catalysed the conversion of palmitoleic, oleic and linoleic acids to the corresponding 10-hydroxy fatty acids, but shorter chain fatty acids were not used as substrates, while the presence of trans-double bonds and double bonds beyond the position C12 abolished hydratase activity. The hydroxy fatty acids produced were not metabolised further. We also found that heterologous Lactococcus and Corynebacterium expressing MCRA accumulated increasing amounts of 10-HOA and 10-HOE in the culture medium. Furthermore, the heterologous cultures exhibited less sensitivity to heat and solvent stresses compared to corresponding controls. Conclusions MCRA protein in B. breve can be classified as a FAD-containing double bond hydratase, within the carbon-oxygen lyase family, which may be catalysing the first step in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) production, and this protein has an additional function in bacterial stress protection
