An Astronaut’s View of Choices, Influences, Contributions and Later Discoveries
No full textFrederick D. Gregory is a former astronaut with NASA, a retired Air Force Colonel and was the first African-American man to command a space shuttle mission. Gregory has logged more than 400 hours in space and says his travels often led him to reflect. As he looked down on the Earth from above, he wondered what choices its people had been offered and taken; what goals they considered, evaluated and selected; what influences shaped their paths and what molded their characters. He believes that each choice taken — or not taken — has a profound effect on a person’s life, a belief displayed in his own life, which took him from his early days as a Boy Scout to a career as a space traveler

The text of the gospels in the works of Gregory of Nazianus
No full textCitation of the New Testament by the Church Fathers is a valuable resource in reconstructing the early history of its text, for the time and place each was writing is
known. The Society for Biblical Literature has undertaken a series of studies of the Fathers who wrote in Greek in order to make available this resource and to examine in
detail what light it sheds on textual development. Among these, the fourth-century Cappadocian father Gregory of Nazianzus was a prolific writer whose work is largely
extant; he made extensive and virtuoso use of Scripture in his orations, poetry and other writings.
In this study, Gregory's life and works are outlined; the use he makes of NT citation is described and evaluated from a text-critical perspective; the particular difficulties this entails are discussed; and the sources and method used to identify citation laid out in chapters One to Three.
This study aims to retrieve all his references to the Gospels, to match them to their NT source where this can be determined, and to present them with critical apparatus as
either citations, adaptations or allusions. Chapters Four to Seven list these references to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. An evaluation of their contribution to our understanding of NT textual development completes the study.
Earlier work in the series has attempted to locate the text used by individual Fathers within the main strands of textual tradition by calculating proportional agreement with a carefully selected representative number of manuscripts. These attempts have had mixed results; in this study the small number of uniquely-derived verbatim citations in Gregory's work, the insurmountable difficulties of transmission and definition, and the
great loss of material if rigorous criteria for inclusion are applied, justify the omission of this analysis. Instead a more qualitative approach has sought to do justice to the special strengths of Gregory as a witness to the Gospel textual tradition

Harmonin enhances voltage-dependent facilitation of Ca(v)1.3 channels and synchronous exocytosis in mouse inner hair cells
No full textCa(v)1.3 channels mediate Ca2+ influx that triggers exocytosis of glutamate at cochlear inner hair cell (IHC) synapses. Harmonin is a PDZ-domain-containing protein that interacts with the C-terminus of the Ca(v)1.3 (1) subunit (alpha(1)1.3) and controls cell surface Ca(v)1.3 levels by promoting ubiquitin-dependent proteosomal degradation. However, PDZ-domain-containing proteins have diverse functions and regulate other Ca(v)1.3 properties, which could collectively influence presynaptic transmitter release. Here, we report that harmonin binding to the alpha(1)1.3 distal C-terminus (dCT) enhances voltage-dependent facilitation (VDF) of Ca(v)1.3 currents both in transfected HEK293T cells and in mouse inner hair cells. In HEK293T cells, this effect of harmonin was greater for Ca(v)1.3 channels containing the auxiliary Ca-v beta(1) than with the beta(2) auxiliary subunit. Ca(v)1.3 channels lacking the alpha(1)1.3 dCT were insensitive to harmonin modulation. Moreover, the deaf-circler'dfcr mutant form of harmonin, which does not interact with the alpha(1)1.3 dCT, did not promote VDF. In mature IHCs from mice expressing the dfcr harmonin mutant, Ca(v)1.3 VDF was less than in control IHCs. This difference was not observed between control and dfcr IHCs prior to hearing onset. Membrane capacitance recordings from dfcr IHCs revealed a role for harmonin in synchronous exocytosis and in increasing the efficiency of Ca2+ influx for triggering exocytosis. Collectively, our results indicate a multifaceted presynaptic role of harmonin in IHCs in regulating Ca(v)1.3 Ca2+ channels and exocytosis
The Wars of Frederick The Great
No full textThe online publication is available at http://scientiamilitaria.journals.ac.za/pubThe study of the wars of Frederick the Great by Dennis E. Showalter is both fascinating and informative. King Frederick II ruled Prussia from 1740 to 1786. During his reign Prussia was involved in a number of wars (notably the Seven Years War). The reign of Frederick is acknowledged as the era in which Prussia was establish as a first ranking power in Europe. Yet, the Wars of Frederick the Great is more than just a campaign history of Frederick's wars. In this study the author places Frederick's wars, Frederick's reign in Prussia and the art of war and statecraft within the context of the time, which makes this work an important contribution to the study of Military History and power politics in the eighteenth century.Publisher's versio
