Musikstädte as real and imaginary soundscapes: urban musical images as literary motifs in twentieth-century German modernism
No full textPhDThis study examines German literary images of musical life as part of the wider sound identity of the modern German city at the turn of the twentieth century. Focussing on a forty-year period from 1890 to 1930, synonymous with the emergence of the modern German metropolis as an aesthetic object, the project assesses, compares and contrasts how musical life in the Musikstädte was perceived and portrayed by writers in an increasingly noisy urban environment. How does urban musical life influence and condition city writings? What are the differences and similarities between the writings on various musical cities? Can an urban textual sound identity be derived from these differences and similarities? The approach employed to answer these questions is a new, cross-disciplinary one to urban sound in literature, moving beyond reading the key sounds of the urban soundscape using urban musicology, sensorial anthropology and cultural poetics towards a literary contextualisation of the urban aural experience.
The literary motifs of the symphony, the gramophone and urban noise are put under the spotlight through the analysis of a wide range of modernist works by authors who have a special relationship with music. At the centre of this analysis are the Kaffeehausliteratur authors Hermann Bahr, Alfred Polgar and Peter Altenberg, the then Munich-based author Thomas Mann and the lesser known René Schickele. The analysis of these particular works is framed in the music-geographical context of the Musikstadt and literary underpinnings of this topos, ranging from Ingeborg Bachmann to Hans Mayer and, once again, Thomas Mann. In analysing these texts, the methodological approach devised by Strohm, who identifies the blending of a range of urban sounds as a definition of urban space and identity, is applied. His ideas combine historical literary
analysis, musical history and urban sociology. They are rarely used in the analysis of the auditory environment.Arts and Humanities Research Council

Near Wall PIV-Measurements on the Windward Slope of a Hill
No full textThe turbulent flow over periodic hills was measured near to the wall, using planar Particle-Image-Velocimetry (PIV) at high spatial resolution. Our focus is on the near wall turbulence structure on the windward slope of the hill. For large-eddy simulation (LES) we suspect that, if this was not predicted accurately, it affects the prediction of the velocity profiles over the hill crest which in turn will affect the recirculation length downstream of the hill. Regarding the time averaged velocities, we were able to resolve the linear viscous region of the boundary layer. The velocity distribution and also the Reynolds stress does not comply with the law of the wall as it is valid for a turbulent boundary layer at equilibrium
European psychotraumatology – alongside the recent European history
No full textThis article outlines a personal reflection of experiences within the field of traumatic stress, especially in relation to specific events, which affected the author's professional life. Conclusions for further challenges for European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ESTSS) are delineated. ESTSS's role in the global network of traumatic stress societies is discussed. This is a personal view of Brigitte Lueger-Schuster, president of ESTSS on behalf of the 20th birthday of ESTSS
APPROXIMATING BEPPO LEVI’S PRINCIPIO DI APPROSSIMAZIONE
No full textWe try to recast in modern terms a choice principle conceived by Beppo Levi, who called it the Approximation Principle (AP). Up to now, there was almost no discussion about Levi’s contribution, due to the quite obscure formulation of AP the author has chosen. After briefly reviewing the historical and philosophical surroundings of Levi’s proposal, we undertake our own attempt at interpreting AP. The idea underlying the principle, as well as the supposed faithfulness of our version to Levi’s original intention, are then discussed. Finally, an application of AP to a property of metric spaces is presented, with the aim of showing how AP may work in contexts where other forms of choice are commonly at use

The guardians of cell fate: protective mechanisms that ensure proper cell fate and patterning during imaginal disc regeneration in drosophila
No full textRegenerating tissue must replace lost structures with cells of the proper identity and pattern in order to restore function. This thesis will describe two major insights into how patterning and cell fate is maintained and restored during the late phases of regeneration in the wing imaginal disc of Drosophila. First, the identification of taranis as a regeneration-specific patterning gene and its subsequent characterization as a factor that is required to protect the regenerating cells in the wing imaginal disc from inappropriate posterior to anterior cell fate changes that are induced by the powerful JNK signaling cascade at the wound misregulating the expression of engrailed. The other chapter will detail the identification of the pioneer transcription factor Zelda as being upstream of taranis expression during regeneration. Zelda is found to be expressed at the same place and time as Taranis, and reduction of Zelda levels results in profound anterior and posterior patterning defects. Speculation is provided suggesting that Zelda may also be essential for the large developmental transition from a program devoted to regenerative growth to the repatterning phase that allows for the restoration of cell fate and patterning genes that was lost earlier in regeneration. This work describes identification of a novel gene regulatory network essential for patterning and cell fate during regeneration.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-08-01The student, Keaton Schuster, accepted the attached license on 2018-07-10 at 12:45.The student, Keaton Schuster, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-07-10 at 15:14.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-07-10 at 16:18.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12794 on 2018-09-27 at 11:18:42Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-27T16:30:28Z (GMT).

PARTHENOS Training Suite: Introduction to Research Infrastructures
No full textIntroduction to Research Infrastructures
PARTHENOS
Archived snapshot of the ‘Introduction to Research Infrastructures’ module, which is part of the PARTHENOS Training suite [1], which was developed as part of Work Package 7 in the PARTHENOS project [2].
By the end of this module, learners should be able to:
Understand the elements of common definitions of research infrastructures
Be able to discuss the importance of issues such as sustainability and interoperability
Understand how research infrastructure supports methods and communities
Be aware of some common critiques of digital research infrastructures in the Humanities.
Background:
The PARTHENOS project [3] recognised that over the past ten years, researchers, institutional leaders and policymakers have begun to speak more and more about infrastructure. As more voices join the conversation, however, it can sometimes become more difficult, rather than less, to understand what exactly research infrastructure is and does. In particular in the humanities, and the digital humanities, the term is used to cover a lot of different projects, resources and approaches.
To address this gap, the PARTHENOS cluster of humanities research infrastructure projects devised a series of training modules and resources for researchers, educators, managers, and policy makers who want to learn more about research infrastructures and the issues and methods around them.
The modules, which have been released on a rolling basis from late 2016, cover a wide range of awareness levels, requirements and topic areas within the landscape of research infrastructure.
