Folklore and Literary Tradition in the Riddles of Basil Levshin
No full textAt the article the prosaic riddles of Basil Levshin, the writer of the second half of the XVIII century, are considered in the context of Russian folklore and literary traditions. Riddles are classified according to their thematic focus, a way to create interpretive field, the subject-object organization. In the process of comparative analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that most of the riddles of the writer characterized by cognitive and heuristic orientation. They reflected both cognitive picture of the world in the representation of contemporary society, and the specifics of the national concept sphere, as well as the submission of the author of the mythological model of the world

Architecture in tension: an examination of the position of the architect in the private and public sectors, focusing on the training and careers of Sir Basil Spence (1907-1976) and Sir Donald Gibson (1908-1991)
No full textIn the early 1900s tensions began to appear within the architectural profession,
as private practitioners struggled to deal with the implications of professional
colleagues moving into public sector employment. Sir Basil Spence and Sir
Donald Gibson began their architectural training in the mid-1920s and, as
tensions between the sectors intensified, Spence entered private practice and
Gibson chose to enter the public sector. Each became an exemplar of his
chosen sector of the profession and yet both have, until recently, escaped
critical attention. The tensions between the public and private sectors of the
profession have been acknowledged within the historiography, but not received
detailed analysis.
This thesis advances the current historiography by presenting an examination
of the division between the sectors, focusing on the relationship between the
RIBA and the public sector union AASTA and assessing the influence of
AASTA on Gibson's Coventry City Architect's Department.
Through an examination of archival material, contemporary published material,
and buildings, this thesis builds on the work of the Sir Basil Spence Archive
Project, adding detailed accounts of his early life, architectural training, and
RIBA presidency, presenting new information and correcting certain aspects of
the accepted historiography. It likewise presents new information on Gibson's
early life and training and his central role in achieving improved status and
representation for the public sector. An analysis of selected projects provides a
comparative study of their contrasting approaches to architecture: the
technically informed, collaborative team-work of Gibson and the individual
artistry of Spence.
Both men played pivotal roles in reforming the RIBA and in changing public and
professional perceptions of the architect, nevertheless, the long lineage and
complex nature of tensions within the profession meant that the public/private
division was never be bridged and issues of status and representation
remained essentially immutable
GOD AND BEINGIN BASIL OF CAESAREA
No full textThe article attempts to deepen our understanding of the problem of God’s essence in Saint Basil. Does Saint Basil identify God with being or does he exclusively wish to prove God’s total incomprehensibility? The author analyzes Saint Basil’s arguments concerning this matter and compares Basil’s statements with those defended by Eunomius with whom Basil polemicized. In defending his own position, Saint Basil defi ned several fundamental points of doctrine

Pilot Aquaponic Growing System of Carp (Cyprinus Carpio) and Basil (Ocimum Basilicum)
No full textAbstractThe aquaponic recirculating systems are integrated systems that combine fish and plant culture. These systems consist of two components: aquaculture and hydroponics components. In these systems the nutrients necessary for plant growth are resulted from the metabolism of food by the fish. This was obtained by recirculation of water, with a pump, from the fish tank to the hydroponic component and back to the fish tank. The experiment was conducted in the laboratory of Fisheries and Aquaculture of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry of University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest for 6 months. The system developed here, is a 1 m2 area of plant growth and 0.45 m3 of water in aquaculture component. In the hydroponic component river gravel was selected to support the plants and offer support for the growth and developing of nitrifying bacteria. The species cultivated were cultured carp (Cyprinus carpio) and basil (Ocimum basilicum). On average, there was obtained a quantity of about 1kg basil leaves in a period of 60 days of growth. It has been found that the species of plants grown in this system, namely basil (Ocimum basilicum) grown with carp (Cyprinus carpio), has a faster and better development compared to conventional growth. Use of basil as a purifying plant, resulted in the removal of nitrates, being not necessary to add additional water, as in classical recirculating systems, where is necessary to replace daily approx. 10% of the volume of the culture water being necessary to add into the system only water lost through evaporation. According to the results the basil is suitable for aquaponic system with carp culture. The basil was grown much better than the conventional cultivation
Breeding sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) for chilling tolerance using advanced genetic and phytochemical techniques
No full textSweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L). is a popular culinary herb grown worldwide. To extend shelf life and reduce postharvest loss, most herbs and vegetables are stored and shipped at low temperatures to maintain freshness and texture and to inhibit losses to postharvest pathogens. Sweet basil is a chilling sensitive crop with injury appearing when fresh leaves are subjected to temperatures as low as 12°C, with severe injuries occurring as low as 10°C. Chilling injury symptoms manifest in leaf browning and wilting in sweet basil, rendering the produce unmarketable. This limits the inclusion of shipping sweet basil with other fresh produce, leading growers and supply chains to use costly separate shipping arrangements or risk significant economic losses. A basil gene homologous to the freezing tolerant gene AtMYB14 was edited using a CRISPR/Cas9 integrating vector to explore if a knockout of the transcription factor increased chilling tolerance. Simultaneously, a chilling tolerant basil line ‘CB15’ was identified through chilling assays at the pre- and postharvest stages with visual ratings using five-level indices and high-throughput image phenotyping. This line was used to construct an F2 mapping population with the commercial cultivar, ‘Rutgers Obsession DMR’. Seven significant QTL were identified from the genetic linkage map for response to chilling temperatures. Two QTL were also detected for major aroma compounds in basil including estragole and eucalyptol. Candidate F2 lines are currently being selected for cultivar development in terms of chilling tolerance, aroma profiles and downy mildew resistance. The sensory and chemical profiles of a related, chilling tolerant basil ‘CB19’ and commercial cultivars were evaluated by a trained panel and GC/MS and LC/MS analyses to determine if additional taste, flavor or aroma compounds should be incorporated into the goals of the breeding program. Compounds that were newly correlated with sensory attributes in basil included β-pinene with green flavor; myrcene with cinnamon and lemon aromas and ginger and flavors; γ-terpinene with green aroma and flavor; borneol with cinnamon and lemon aromas; bornyl acetate with black pepper aroma and spicy flavor; and eugenol with clove flavor. This information will be important in the future of sweet basil breeding programs by using the knowledge of genetics and biochemistry to improve sweet basil cultivars and minimize postharvest losses.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical reference
