    John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt

    No full text
    Jersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works

    Untersuchungen zur F-proteinvermittelten Fusion von Paramyxoviren

    Die für die Vermehrung der Paramyxoviren notwendige Freisetzung des Virusgenoms in die Wirtszelle findet nach einer Verschmelzung der Virushülle mit der Zellmembran statt. Die Membranfusion wird durch eine Konformationsänderung des membranständigen Fusionsproteins (F-Protein) der Paramyxoviren vermittelt. Der Auslöser der Strukturumwandlung des F-Proteins ist bislang unbekannt. Man nimmt an, daß eine Wechselwirkung mit dem zweiten membranständigen Protein der Hämagglutinin-Neuraminidase (HN-Protein) die Strukturumwandlung des F-Proteins induziert. Das F-Protein kann jedoch auch in Abwesenheit des HN-Proteins eine Membranfusion vermitteln. Für das Verständnis des Mechanismus der F-proteinvermittelten Fusion ist die Kenntnis der dreidimensionalen Struktur des F-Proteins notwendig. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die F-Proteine der Paramyxoviren, Sendaivirus und Simianvirus 5, in fusionskompetenter Form isoliert und in kleine Lipidvesikel rekonstituiert, um deren Struktur mittels Kryoelektronenmikroskopie und Einzelpartikelanalyse aufzuklären. Die 3D-Struktur des Sendaivirus-F-Proteins konnte mit einer Auflösung von 16 Angström aufgeklärt werden. Es ist die erste 3D-Struktur des F-Proteins eines Paramyxovirus in der fusionskompetenten Form. Um geeignete Bedingungen herauszufinden, die das Auslösen der Konformationsänderung der F-Proteine bzw. das "Einfangen" von Strukturintermediaten während der Fusion ermöglichen, wurde das Fusionsverhalten von Sendaivirus und Simianvirus 5 bei unterschiedlichen Temperatur- und pH-Werten sowie in Anwesenheit von Lysolipiden mittels Fluoreszenzdequenchingassays untersucht. Ein signifikanter Anstieg der Fusionsaktivität der untersuchten Viren konnte durch eine Erhöhung der Temperatur erreicht werden. Mittels ESR-Spektroskopie unter Einsatz von spinmarkierten Lysolipiden konnte gezeigt werden, daß Lysolipide die proteinvermittelte Fusion von Hüllviren in einem späten lipidabhängigen Schritt hemmen. Diese Untersuchungen bilden damit eine Grundlage zur Aufklärung der 3D-Struktur des F-Proteins im fusionsaktiven Zustand. Desweiteren wurde die Rolle der transmembranalen und zytoplasmatischen Domäne des F-Proteins bei der Membranfusion und der Wechselwirkung mit dem HN-Protein mittels Fluoreszenzmikroskopie untersucht. Die Befunde der 3D-Strukturaufklärung und der fluoreszenzmikroskopischen Studien wurden unter anderem in Hinblick auf die Bedeutung der Wechselwirkung zwischen den F- und HN-Proteinen für die Fusion diskutiert.Paramyxoviruses infect their host cells by fusion of the viral envelope with the cell membrane. The membrane fusion is mediated by a confomational change of a viral envelope glycoprotein called the fusion (F) protein. The trigger of the F protein conformational change is still unknown. It is suggested, that an interaction of the F protein with the second envelope glycoprotein hemagglutinin-neuraminase (HN) induces its conformational change. However the F protein can mediate membrane fusion in absense of HN. The knowledge of the three dimensional structure of the F protein is reqiured to understand the F mediated membrane fusion. In the present work the fusion competent form of the fusion proteins of the paramyxoviruses Sendai virus and Simian virus 5 were isolated and incorporated each of them into small lipid vesicles. The 3D-structure of the entire ectodomain of the Sendai virus F protein has been determined in fusion potential conformation by cryo electron microscopy of single molecules and 3D-reconstruction at a resolution of 16 Angström. To detect usefull conditions for triggering the conformational change of F, the fusion of Sendai virus and Simian virus 5 have been studied at different temperature and pH, respectively, using a fluorescence dequenching assay. A significant increase of virus fusion activity has been found due to temperature enhancement. Using ESR-spectroscopy and spin-labeled lysolipids it has been shown that lysolipids inhibit the protein mediated fusion of enveloped viruses at a late lipid-dependent intermediate. Thus lysolipids are capable to freeze a conformational intermediate of the F protein during fusion. Furthermore the role of the transmembrane and the cytoplasmic domain of the Sendai virus F protein for membrane fusion was investigated using fluorescence microscopy. The results of the fluorescence microscopy study and the detection of the 3D-structure have been discussed in view of the relevance of F-HN-interaction for membrane fusion

    Let Q be a factor of type II1, λ a number in the Jones discrete series {4cosπ/m:m≥3}, and {ei} the Jones projections associated with λ. Denote by A2n and A1n the finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras generated, respectively, by {1,e2,⋯,en} and {1,e1,⋯,en}, with the corresponding traces. The author shows that, for n sufficiently large, the index of the inclusion An=(Q⊗A2n)∗A2nA1n⊂(Q⊗A2n+1)∗A2n+1A1n+1=An+1 is equal to λ (here ∗ denotes the reduced, amalgamated free product of the algebras in question). Using the random matrix model of Voiculescu, he proves that if Q is the von Neumann algebra L(F∞) of the free group with infinitely many generators, then An is isomorphic to L(F∞). The two facts together imply the existence, for any λ in the Jones discrete series, of an irreducible subfactor of L(F∞) of index λ. This constitutes the first example of a nonhyperfinite, non-Γ II1 factor such that its Jones invariant is fully computable (the existence of nonirreducible subfactors of L(F∞) for any index ≥4 is a simple consequence of known results)

    Esperienza della significatività – Trascendenza e orizzonte – Evento. L'unità nel cambiamento del pensiero di Martin Heidegger

    No full text
    Il volume si propone di fare il punto sul pensiero di Martin Heidegger, guardando all'indietro, in direzione della sua provenienza, e in avanti, in direzione dei problemi che ancora ci pone e che costituiscono l'eredità più viva del suo itinerario filosofico. Il saggio del professor Friedrich-Wilhelm von Herrmann ricostruisce nei suoi tratti fondamentali il percorso di pensiero di Heidegger, individuandone tre momenti fondamentali, contrassegnati rispettivamente dalle parole-chiave "esperienza della significatività", "trascendenza e orizzonte" ed "evento". Ma, dopo aver identificato e illustrato queste tre fasi, Herrmann sottolinea anche la fondamentale continuità nel cambiamento che caratterizza il pensiero di Heidegger

    In this work we highlight magnetic blood purification as possible therapy for blood stream infections [1-2], where circulating pathogens are at first removed from the bodily fluid and subsequently recovered and analyzed. (Fig. 1) This process would result in an immediate therapeutic benefit for the patient, while also considerably shortening the diagnosis process, a critical step which heavily affects the final outcome of the treatment. Finally, the use of a newly developed human IgG1 monoclonal antibody against poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG) as targeting moiety extends this therapy to the majority of the pathogens responsible for the most frequent nosocomial infections. We show an experimental proof-of-concept study along with an optimization of carrier-pathogen interactions based on a mathematical model and an investigations on the process safety [3]. [1] I. K.

    Novel multilocus sequence typing scheme reveals high genetic diversity of human pathogenic members of the Fusarium incarnatum-F. equiseti and F. chlamydosporum species complexes within the United States

    Species limits within the clinically important Fusarium incarnatum-F. equiseti and F. chlamydosporum species complexes (FIESC and FCSC, respectively) were investigated using multilocus DNA sequence data. Maximum-parsimony and maximum-likelihood analyses of aligned DNA sequences from four loci resolved 28 species within the FIESC, within which the species were evenly divided among two clades designated Incarnatum and Equiseti, and four species within the FCSC. Sequence data from a fifth locus, ß-tubulin, was excluded from the study due to the presence of highly divergent paralogs or xenologs. The multilocus haplotype nomenclature adopted in a previous study (K. O'Donnell, D. A. Sutton, A. Fothergill, D. McCarthy, M. G. Rinaldi, M. E. Brandt, N. Zhang, and D. M. Geiser, J. Clin. Microbiol. 46:2477-2490, 2008) was expanded to all of the species within the FIESC and FCSC to provide the first DNA sequence-based typing schemes for these fusaria, thereby facilitating future epidemiological investigations. Multilocus DNA typing identified sixty-two sequence types (STs) among 88 FIESC isolates and 20 STs among 26 FCSC isolates. This result corresponds to indices of discrimination of 0.985 and 0.966, respectively, for the FIESC and FCSC four-locus typing scheme using Simpson's index of discrimination. Lastly, four human and two veterinary isolates, received as members of the FIESC or FCSC, were resolved as five phylogenetically distinct species nested outside these species complexes. To our knowledge, these five species heretofore have not been reported to cause mycotic infections (i.e., F. armeniacum, F. brachygibbosum, F. flocciferum, and two unnamed Fusarium species within the F. tricinctum species complex
