Folklore and Literary Tradition in the Riddles of Basil Levshin
No full textAt the article the prosaic riddles of Basil Levshin, the writer of the second half of the XVIII century, are considered in the context of Russian folklore and literary traditions. Riddles are classified according to their thematic focus, a way to create interpretive field, the subject-object organization. In the process of comparative analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that most of the riddles of the writer characterized by cognitive and heuristic orientation. They reflected both cognitive picture of the world in the representation of contemporary society, and the specifics of the national concept sphere, as well as the submission of the author of the mythological model of the world

Architecture in tension: an examination of the position of the architect in the private and public sectors, focusing on the training and careers of Sir Basil Spence (1907-1976) and Sir Donald Gibson (1908-1991)
No full textIn the early 1900s tensions began to appear within the architectural profession,
as private practitioners struggled to deal with the implications of professional
colleagues moving into public sector employment. Sir Basil Spence and Sir
Donald Gibson began their architectural training in the mid-1920s and, as
tensions between the sectors intensified, Spence entered private practice and
Gibson chose to enter the public sector. Each became an exemplar of his
chosen sector of the profession and yet both have, until recently, escaped
critical attention. The tensions between the public and private sectors of the
profession have been acknowledged within the historiography, but not received
detailed analysis.
This thesis advances the current historiography by presenting an examination
of the division between the sectors, focusing on the relationship between the
RIBA and the public sector union AASTA and assessing the influence of
AASTA on Gibson's Coventry City Architect's Department.
Through an examination of archival material, contemporary published material,
and buildings, this thesis builds on the work of the Sir Basil Spence Archive
Project, adding detailed accounts of his early life, architectural training, and
RIBA presidency, presenting new information and correcting certain aspects of
the accepted historiography. It likewise presents new information on Gibson's
early life and training and his central role in achieving improved status and
representation for the public sector. An analysis of selected projects provides a
comparative study of their contrasting approaches to architecture: the
technically informed, collaborative team-work of Gibson and the individual
artistry of Spence.
Both men played pivotal roles in reforming the RIBA and in changing public and
professional perceptions of the architect, nevertheless, the long lineage and
complex nature of tensions within the profession meant that the public/private
division was never be bridged and issues of status and representation
remained essentially immutable

GOD AND BEINGIN BASIL OF CAESAREA
No full textThe article attempts to deepen our understanding of the problem of God’s essence in Saint Basil. Does Saint Basil identify God with being or does he exclusively wish to prove God’s total incomprehensibility? The author analyzes Saint Basil’s arguments concerning this matter and compares Basil’s statements with those defended by Eunomius with whom Basil polemicized. In defending his own position, Saint Basil defi ned several fundamental points of doctrine
Biotin biosynthetic enzymes and the metabolic control of biotin biosynthesis
No full textBIOTIN BIOSYNTHETIC ENZYMES AND THE METABOLIC CONTROL OF BIOTIN BIOSYNTHESIS
Jennifer A. Gray and Basil J. Nikolau
Biotin is a vital cofactor for many enzymes that facilitate carboxylation, decarboxylation, and transcarboxylation reactions. The biotin biosynthetic network has been well characterized in many microorganisms including E.coli (Eisenberg, 1973), but only recently have the genetic and biochemical components of the Arabidopsis biotin biosynthetic enzymes been discovered. Previous studies (Muralla et al. 2008) describe a chimeric gene locus (BIO3/BIO1) in Arabidopsis that can produce a transcript (BIO3/BIO1 (-10)) encoding dual catalytic activities, that of DAPA aminotransferase and dethiobiotin synthetase. Moreover, this locus could also produce a transcript (BIO3/BIO1 (+10)) that encodes only the penultimate reaction of the pathway, that of dethiobiotin synthetase. This study details the approach taken to identify and further isolate a putative BIO1 protein in Arabidopsis. In addition, the metabolic control that the AtBioF (BIO4), BIO2, bifunctional BIO3/BIO1 (-10), BIO3/BIO1 (+10) and the putative BIO1 proteins have on biotin yield was experimentally assessed. Observations support the hypothesis that DAPA aminotransferase activity is encoded by the bifunctional BIO3/BIO1 locus, and that the reaction is not catalyzed by a monofunctional BIO1 protein. Further analysis must be undertaken to divulge the details of the metabolic control on biotin production.</p
