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

Properties of film forming dispersions and films based on chitosan containing basil and thyme essential oils
No full text[EN] Film-forming emulsions and films of chitosan containing basil or thyme essential oil, with and without oleic acid were characterised as to the emulsion stability (particle size, z-potential and rheological behaviour) and barrier, mechanical and optical properties of the films. The losses of the essential oil during the film formation were also quantified as well as the antifungal effect of the films against Aspergillus niger, Botrytis cinerea and Rhizopus stolonifer. The retention of essential oil in the films was greatly dependent on the stability of the film-forming emulsion. The addition of oleic acid (OA) to the chitosan-essential oil formulations enhanced the emulsion stability and oil retention in the film, at the same time that it improved the water vapour barrier properties of the film. Lipids reduced the film stretchability but when OA was present in the formulation, this reduction was mitigated, as well as the changes in colour provoked by the essential oils, whereas OA reduced the film transparency. Chitosan films with thyme or basil essential oil did not inhibit the growth of the tested fungi.The authors acknowledge the financial support provided by the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (UPPTE/2012/183) and the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (AGL2010-20694).

Introgression of genetic resistance to downy mildew (peronospora belbahrii) in a non-model plant species, sweet basil (ocimum basilicum)
No full textSweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) is among the most widely cultivated culinary herbs in the United States, Western Europe and Israel. Despite relative economic importance, breeding and genetic study of this plant species has been largely neglected, rendering its >3 Gbp genome largely unexplored. The deficit in available O. basilicum genetic and genomic resources has been highlighted by a worldwide downy mildew epidemic caused by obligate oomycete Peronospora belbahrii, which has yet to be mediated by disease resistant varieties. The goal of this dissertation research was to narrow the information gap preventing an effective disease resistance breeding response. Specific objectives were to: 1) determine population structure and estimate genetic diversity among a panel of downy mildew resistant and susceptible Ocimum spp. accessions, 2) identify mode of inheritance for resistance to downy mildew in a full-sibling family and 3) construct a linkage map for detection of quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with DM resistance. A nested, model-based cluster analysis demonstrated three major delineations within the Ocimum genus with additional evidence for cryptic structure, especially within the economically important k1 O. basilicum cluster. Distribution of DM resistance was concentrated outside the k1 O. basilicum cluster with the exception of a single k1 genotype, ‘MRI’. Analysis of downy mildew response across F2 and backcross populations over two years and two locations demonstrated major gene control of downy mildew resistance conferred by MRI. Finally, a restriction site associated DNA sequencing (RADseq) approach facilitated the discovery and mapping of >1,800 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and expressed sequence tag simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers. The resulting genetic map was validated by the detection of a major QTL, dm11.1, which explained 38-55% of the phenotypic variance observed for the MRI x SB22 F2 mapping population. Disomic inheritance of SNP and SSR markers support previous cytological evidence that basil has evolved an allopolyploid genome. Results of this dissertation provide the most robust phylogenetic examination of the Ocimum genus to date, characterization of DM heritability across multiple environments and the first report of genetic/QTL mapping for O. basilicum. A current case study is provided for the feasibility of breeding a non-model plant species using classical genetic theory in combination with modern genomic technologies.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Robert M.

The Rule of St Basil in Latin and English: A Revised Critical Edition
No full textThe idea of the present volume came partly from RB 1980. In that volume the editors and commentators availed themselves of the critical Latin text already established by Jean Neufville for the Sources Chretiennes series, volumes 181-186 (1971-72), endeavouring to distil and convey academic scholarship to a less specialized audience. The subject of this book is itself one of the major sources of the Rule of Benedict (RB), namely, the 'Rule of our Holy Father Basil' recommended to zealous monks in RB 73.4. The Regula Basilii (RBas) is St Basil the Great's Small Asketikon as translated into Latin by Rufinus of Aquileia in AD 397. ... The present volume will ... present an updated version of Zelzer's Latin text, emended in the light of Lundström's advice and as generally confirmed by the Syriac text, together with an annotated English translation. It is in effect a new Latin edition, but assuming and entirely referring back to the work accomplished by Zelzer. Philological specialists will certainly need to continue to use Zelzer. The notes to the Latin text here largely concern justifications of changes to Zelzer's Latin text, and two cases in which Lundström's emendments have not been admitted. The primary interest of this volume is in the Regula Basilii as a text in its own right, and not merely as a tool of access to a lost Greek original, however important a goal that may be. The aim of the author has been to mediate somewhat between the rigours of academic research on the one hand and the interests of an intelligent non-specialist readership on the other hand. Ultimately the hope is that when the Syriac edition and translation is published even readers without all the languages may be able to make their own comparisons, up to a point
