Jean-Luc Godard and the other history of cinema
Jean-Luc Godard's Histoire(s) du cinema (1988-1998) is a video work made up of visual and verbal quotations of hundreds of images and sounds from film history. But rather than simply telling (hi)stories of cinema, Godard makes a case for cinema as a tool for performing the work of history. This is partly because the film image, by virtue of always recording more of the real than was anticipated or intended, necessarily has history itself inscribed within its very fabric. It is also because montage, as the art of combining discrete elements in new ways in order to produce original forms, can be seen as a machine for realising historical thought. This thesis examines these ideas by discussing Godard's account of the role of cinema in the Second World War, and by analysing some of his recent work as examples of historical montage which attempt to criticise our current political climate through comparison with earlier eras.
After a first chapter which sets out Godard's argument through an extensive commentary of Histoire(s) 1A and B, a second chapter discusses Godard's depiction of the invention of cinema and traces a complex argument about technology and historical responsibility around the key metaphorical figure of the train. Chapter 3 explores the ways in which Godard's historical approach to cinema allows him to maintain a critical discourse with regard to the geopolitical realities of late twentieth-century Europe (Germany, the Balkans), but also to the communications and business empires that have developed over the past few decades. A final chapter offers a detailed consideration of the nature of Godard's cinematic quotation and seeks to explicate the apocalyptic rhetoric of his late work. Aside from Histoire(s) du cinema, films discussed include Nouvelle Vague (1990), Allemagne neuf zero (1991), For Ever Mozart (1996) and Eloge de l'amour (2001)

Touching Freud's dog: H.D.'s tactile poetics
"Do not touch me", Frau Emmy warns Freud in 1889. "Do not touch", Freud echoes in 1933. This time, he is referring to his pet chow, Yofi, warning H.D. that "she snaps - she is very difficult with strangers". Examining the prohibition in light of work by Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc Nancy, this article charts the withdrawal that always interrupts touch. Despite Freud's taboo, however, H.D.'s writing seeks to make contact in strange and unnerving ways. Developing Julia Kristeva's account of the semiotic, this paper proposes a literature of touch. Reading H.D.'s poems, alongside Tribute to Freud, and her letters, the author demonstrates that H.D.'s poetics are always haunted by the very (im)possibility of contact
Long-range Wnt-5A inhibits the ATF2-Luc reporter.
<p>A) For studying long-range signaling, Xwnt5A-EGFP transfected HEK293 cells seeded on thinCerts TC chambers were transferred on cells transfected with the ATF2-Luc reporter and cultivated for additional 24 hours. To investigate paracrine signaling, cells transfected with Xwnt5A-EGFP were co-cultured with cells transfected with the ATF2-Luc reporter for 24 hours. To analyze both autocrine and paracrine signaling, the reporter and the Wnt ligand were cotransfected. B) Activation of the non-canonical Wnt reporter ATF2-Luc by co-transfected Wnt8, Wnt11 and Wnt5A. C) Activation of the non-canonical Wnt reporter ATF2-Luc by long-range Wnt8, Wnt11 and Wnt5A in a two-chamber assay. D) Xwnt5A-EGFP triggered ATF2-Luc activation depends on endocytosis. Wnt5A induced ATF2-Luc activation (cotransfection) was inhibited by addition of 5 µg/ml chlorpromazine (Chlo) and 150 µM genistein (Gen) 24 h before the measurement. Given are the mean values ± standard errors and the p-values according to Student's t-test, ns: not significant, n gives the number of transfections.</p

Frankfurt book fair: cancelled prize ceremony for Palestinian author is part of a long history of political zigzagging
First paragraph: The Frankfurt Buchmesse, or book fair, is the world’s largest publishing industry gathering, attracting thousands of exhibitors every October. On one level, it’s a business event focused on creating buzz for forthcoming bestsellers, trading rights and discussing industry developments. On another, it’s a public celebration of books and the values associated with them.https://theconversation.com/frankfurt-book-fair-cancelled-prize-ceremony-for-palestinian-author-is-part-of-a-long-history-of-political-zigzagging-21574
Comparison of B16-luc, LLC1-luc and TRAMP-C2-luc tumor cell dissemination versus microsphere dissemination (7 and 16 μm diameter) in osseous organs.
(A) Only ~5% of tumor cells and microbeads disseminated to the spine. No significant difference was found between the groups. (B) Long bones revealed dissemination fractions between ~10–25%. TRAMP-C2-luc disseminated significantly higher to long bones compared to LLC1-luc cells (LLC1-luc vs. TRAMP-C2-luc: p = 0.0406). No other significant dissemination differences were found. (C) Low tumor cell and microbeads dissemination was found in the thorax (~5–10%). No significant difference was found between the groups. (D) Dissemination to the cranium was ~2–6%. No significant dissemination differences were found. Mean ± SD, (B16-luc n = 4, LLC1-luc n = 5, TRAMP-C2-luc n = 5, 7 μm beads n = 5, 16 μm beads n = 5) for all experiments shown, one way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc analysis.</p
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
