„Wir warten auf Prof. Brandt“: Ein Kriegsgefangenenschicksal aus Kiel
No full textDer Aufsatz von Lisa Bittner begibt sich in das Kiel der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit. Bittner beleuchtet in ihrem Beitrag die letztlich erfolglosen Versuche verschiedener Akteurinnen und Akteure, den Kieler Juraprofessor Hans Kurt Paul Brandt aus der jugoslawischen Kriegsgefangenschaft zu befreien. Die Autorin fragt nach den Motivationen einzelner Gruppen, sich für dessen Heimkehr einzusetzen, und reflektiert das starke Engagement der Studierenden, die dieser Thematik einen eigenen Artikel im Kieler Studenten, der ersten Studierendenzeitung der CAU nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, widmeten. Gleichfalls legt der Beitrag professorale Netzwerke offen, die während der NS-Zeit geknüpft wurden und noch lange darüber hinaus wirkten. Diesen gelang es nicht nur, die junge Studierendenschaft für ihre Zwecke einzuspannen, sondern auch, sich gegenseitig in der jungen Bundesrepublik zahlreiche Karrierechancen zu ermöglichen.Lisa Bittner's essay takes us back to Kiel in the immediate post-war period. In her contribution, Bittner examines the in the end unsuccessful attempts by various players to free Kiel law professor Hans Kurt Paul Brandt from Yugoslavian war captivity. The author asks about the motivations of individual groups to intercede on behalf of his return home and reflects the strong commitment of the students, who dedicated an article to this topic in the Kieler Studenten, the first student newspaper of the CAU after the Second World War. The essay likewise reveals professorial networks which were tied during the Nazi era and continued to have an impact long afterwards. Those networks succeeded not only in harnessing the young student body for their own purposes, but also in providing each other with numerous career opportunities in the young Federal Republic
Costatoria (Costatoria?) subrotunda (BITTNER, 1901) a Smithian (Lower Triassic) marker from Tethys
No full textThe authors erect Costatoria costata var. subrotunda (Bittner) from Hungarian Lower Triassic to species level. Its subgeneric position is also discussed here. Thus, Costatoria is represented in the Werfen Formation of Dolomites area by two species: C. (Costatoria?) subrotunda (Bittner) from the upper part of Campil Member (Smithian) and C. (Costatoria) costata (Zenker) from Cencenighe and S. Lucano Members (Spathian). C. subrotunda shows a wide geographic distribution and could be considered as a helpful marker of Smithian age.-Author
Egon Bittner and the Language Practices of the Police
No full textBittner’s posthumously published 1965 fieldwork, Larimer Tours (Bittner 2013 [1965]), is discussed exploring how criminology has neglected Bittner’s ethnomethodological stance and overlooked his interest in language and conversational practices. Technological records (e.g.,dash-cams, body-worn cameras) afford opportunities to extend Bittner’s seminal work with an ethnomethodological focus on police “competencies-in-action” through the study of recorded police-citizen interaction. Using data from dash-cam traffic stops and field research, this paper elaborates two competencies of the police discussed in Larimer-the use of area knowledge and procedures of interrogation. A focus on how area knowledge is utilized in an investigatory sequence of traffic stops demonstrates its interactional complexity and how “area knowledge” employed by police and citizens is made interactionally relevant and consequential to the traffic stop. Implications for criminology and the study of police-citizen interaction are discussed.+ Sprache: en

Suppression of autoimmune encephalomyelitis by a neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist — A putative role for substance P in CNS inflammation
No full textSubstance P (SP) is an excitatory neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous system. Most of its physiological functions are mediated through binding to the neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R). Recently, proinflammatory properties of SP have been described. In this study we utilized T cell transfer experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) to investigate the role of SP in CNS autoimmune disease. Treatment with the NK-1R antagonist CP-96,345 dramatically reduced clinical and histological signs of EAE if administered before disease onset. The protective effect of CP96,345 treatment was related to a reduced expression of the adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 on CNS endothelia. The cellular composition or activation status of splenocytes was not affected by CP-96,345 administration, while the secretion of proinflammatory Thl cytokines was reduced in treated animals. Th2 cytokines remained largely unaffected by NK-1 receptor antagonist treatment. In summary, our findings suggest that the protective effect of CP96,345 treatment is mediated by stabilization of the blood-brain barrier and suppression of Thl immunity. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Understanding and predicting transient material behaviors associated with mechanical resonance in cementitious composites
No full textCementitious composite materials provide a foundation for civilized life, from underlying structural bedrock to the tallest concrete structures in the world. These infrastructure materials (e.g., concrete and rock) are challenging to inspect and characterize, in part because of their heterogeneous and multi-scale compositions. Recently, nonlinear transient dynamic mechanical resonance behaviors, also known as “slow dynamic” behaviors, have been observed in damaged cementitious composite materials, yet the physical mechanisms underlying these behaviors are not understood. These phenomena hold potential to offer new insight and improved performance for monitoring the degradation of infrastructure materials.
In this dissertation, I study the potential of slow dynamic behaviors for practical application as a nondestructive inspection method for infrastructure materials. The study includes experimental tests and analytical modeling. Most experiments were carried out on neat cement paste samples, which represent porous composite infrastructure materials in general. The study was divided into three components: observing the behavior at the global (macro) and micro-scales, modeling the behavior in terms of a physical or mechanistic basis, and applying the behavior to monitor degradation through a practical application.
A repeatable nondestructive testing approach that uses a sequential impact device was designed to extract consistent global slow dynamic conditioning observations and characteristics from prismatic cement samples. The occurrence and existence of slow dynamic behaviors depended on the extent of damage and moisture states of a specimen. A small-scale disc vibration experiment was designed to enable imaging, using an environmental scanning electron microscope during vibration excitation in a controlled environment. Moisture migration within the paste microstructure was observed at the micron scale before and after resonance vibration of the disc. A new Mechanistic Diffusion Model (MDM) was developed to explain observed global- and micro-scale experimental results. The MDM unifies the moisture state, damage extent, and time dependence of slow dynamic behaviors. The MDM was verified through further experimentation. Finally, the slow dynamic characteristics of drying cement paste prisms with varying amounts of shrinkage reducing admixture were studied and compared to linear measurements performed on the same samples. The slow dynamic behaviors provided a measure of the bulk relative material damage at a single point in time, whereas the linear methods required measurements at two different points in time, before and after damage, in order to characterize the material.
This dissertation provides a deeper understanding of slow dynamic behavior, offers a new mechanistic explanation based on moisture migration for slow dynamic behaviors in porous composite materials, and presents the basis for a single-test nondestructive approach to evaluate degradation levels in cementitious materials in a sensitive and reliable manner. The improved understanding of these dynamic behaviors will improve the design, application, and evaluation of infrastructure materials, from understanding underlying bedrock seismicity to improving structural assessments of concrete.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2020-12-01The student, James Bittner, accepted the attached license on 2018-11-28 at 18:33.The student, James Bittner, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-11-28 at 18:38.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-11-29 at 14:01.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13137 on 2019-02-08 at 11:40:21Made available in DSpace on 2019-02-08T18:39:54Z (GMT).
