Georg Hermann.
No full textThe internationally renowned author of numerous novels, essays, and articles, Georg Hermann, was born as Georg Borchardt in Berlin-Friedenau on October 7, 1871, the youngest of six children in a well-established Jewish family. Later in life he used his father’s first name Hermann as his surname when writing. Contrary to the expectations for a young man from a reputable family, Hermann did not pursue the Abitur exam in a Gymnasium (secondary school), but instead received a one-year certificate in 1890, leaving school to become an apprentice salesman at a tie company. From 1896 until 1899 he worked in the Statistical Office of Berlin, at the same time attending literature and art history lectures at the University of Berlin. Afterwards he worked as a freelance writer and art critic.His first book, 'Spielkinder', was published in 1896, but he did not become well-known until 1906, with the publication of 'Jettchen Gebert', followed by its sequel, 'Henriette Jacoby'. These novels told the story of the life of a young woman living in Jewish Berlin during the Biedermeier period of the 1820s and 1830s. Politically active, Georg Hermann was also a member of the Central-Verein deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischen Glaubens.Having become known for his pacifist tendencies through his writing, and because of his Jewish heritage, Georg Hermann and his family fled to Holland shortly after the burning of the Reichstag in 1933. Although the rest of his family was saved from the Nazis after their occupation of Holland in 1943, Georg Hermann was sent to the Dutch concentration camp of Westerbork. On November 16, 1943 he was transported to Auschwitz and either died during transport or shortly after his arrival.Digital ImageRecord added to DigiTool. Aleph record suppressed. J.

Spectral and structural properties of carbon nanoparticle forming in C3O2 and C2H2 pyrolysis behind shock waves
No full textThe diversity of carbon particles, forming during pyrolysis Of C3O2 and C2H2 behind shock waves in the wide temperature range 1200-3800 K, was investigated. The process of condensed carbon particle formation was observed in situ by the multichannel registration of the time profiles of optical properties of media in the UV, visible, and near-IR ranges. Besides that, the probes of postshock material, deposited on the walls of the shock tube, were analyzed by low- and bigh-resolution transition electron microscopy (TEM) and by electron microdiffraction (MDF) measurements. The comparison of extinction properties of young, growing particles with the electron microscopic analysis of solidified substance gave a notion about the peculiarities of carbon particle formation process from the different carbon-bearing gases at various temperatures. Particles, forming from both substances at 1500-2000 K, look similar to usual soot, and the absence of hydrogen in C3O2 leads to faster formation and graphitization of particles. At the temperatures 2100-2600 K, the decrease of the particle formation rate and the fall of final particle yield in all mixtures is observed. After C3O2 pyrolysis experiments, gigantic film-like spheres with the size up to 700 run were observed on the walls. The peculiarity of the high-temperature (2700-3200 K) process of carbon particle formation in C3O2 pyrolysis is the high degree of crystallization of the final particles
Georg Trakl and melancholy
No full textThis paper identifies some of the decisive aspects of Georg Trakl’s poetry, taking as the starting point the author’s awareness about God’s death, from Nietzsche’s approach. Emphasis is placed on melancholy, support of the creation, testimony and acknowledgement of failure and grief of mankind, from which the author was able to express his discouragement upon the downfall and decline of the West.Se identificaron algunos aspectos determinantes de la obra poética de Georg Trakl, tomando como punto de partida la conciencia del escritor acerca de la muerte de Dios, desde la perspectiva de Nietzsche. Se hizo un énfasis sobre la melancolía, soporte de la creación, testimonio y reconocimiento del errar y el duelo del hombre, a partir de la cual el autor pudo expresar el desconsuelo por la ruina y el ocaso de Occidente

Of particular interest to the author is to determine whether Oppenheim's descendents are "rein jüdischen Blutes (=of pure Jewish blood)."Robert Singermandigitize
Variation in the uptake of thiamethoxam, a neonicotinoid pesticide, in the NAM Founder inbreds of maize
No full textNeonicotinoid pesticides have recently come under fire for their negative impacts on pollinators. However, seed treatments of neonicotinoid compounds such as imidacloprid are regularly applied to over 79% of maize grown commercially in the US. Thiamethoxam is one of the least studied of these compounds. In this study, I examined the variation of systemic uptake of thiamethoxam by maize seedlings using a liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry (LC-MS) protocol to observe thiamethoxam concentration in the 26 founder inbred lines of the Nested Association Mapping (NAM) panel, along with the inbreds Mo17 and W22. I observed that the mean differences in concentration 16 days post planting between tropical and temperate lines are significantly different. Additionally, I calculated a minimum value for percent thiamethoxam uptake from seed treatment for 8 inbred genotypes
Erysimum cheiranthoides, an ecological research system with potential as a genetic and genomic model for studying cardiac glycoside biosynthesis
No full textAt least twelve plant families contain species that synthesize cardiac glycosides as defense against herbivory. These inhibitors of animal Na+, K+-ATPases also have medical uses in treating congestive heart failure and other diseases. However, despite extensive ecological research and centuries of use in both traditional and modern medicine, the complete cardiac glycoside biosynthesis pathway has yet to be elucidated in any plant species. To a large extent, this research deficit results from the fact that cardiac glycosides are produced exclusively by non-model plant species such as Digitalis that have not been amenable to the development of mutagenesis, cloning, and genetic mapping approaches. Recent advances in genome sequencing, transcript profiling, plant transformation, transient expression assays, and plant metabolite analysis have provided new opportunities for the investigation and elucidation of cardiac glycoside biosynthesis pathways. The genetic tools that have been developed for Brassicaceae, in particular Arabidopsis thaliana, may be directly applicable to Erysimum, a Brassicaceae genus that characteristically produces cardiac glycosides as defensive metabolites. We propose that Erysimum cheiranthoides (wormseed wallflower), a rapid-cycling, self-pollinating species with a relatively small, diploid genome, would be a suitable model system to advance research on the biosynthesis of cardiac glycosides in plants
