No full textThis collection contains Questionnaires I & II of the Austrian Heritage Collection at the Leo Baeck Institute, with biographical information and information
about his emigration from Austria in 1938 and subsequent medical career (including service in US Army); accompanying the questionnaire is a page from "Encyclopaedia
Judaica" (circa 1971) showing an entry for Henry Rappaport with highlights of professional career.Henry Rappaport was born in Lemberg, Galicia, 1913. His family moved to Vienna when he was a child. He attended the Realgymnasium in the 18th district of Vienna and
entered Medical School at the University of Vienna in 1931. He graduated as MD in 1937 and started to work at a hospital in Vienna. After the ‘Anschluss’, he lost his position. Henry
Rappaport managed to leave Austria in August 1938 and fled to Switzerland. After one month, he went to France until his emigration to the USA in February 1940. In January 1943, he
joined the U.S. Army Forces as Medical Corps Officer. 1946 he was discharged as Major and started his academic and research career as a pathologist. Amongst other positions, he headed
the reticulo-endothelial pathology and hematology section of the Armed Forced Institute of Pathology in Washington DC (1949-1954), worked as a professor of pathology at the University
of Chicago (1961-1974) and at the City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte, CA (1974-1996). Dr. Henry Rappaport is author of “Tumors of the Hematopoietic System” (1966) and is
mentioned in the “Encyclopaedia Judaica”. He lived in Studio City, CA.Austrian Heritage Collection inventory available in the folderAustrian Heritage CollectionProcessed for digitizationSent for digitizationReturned from digitizationLinked to online manifestationdigitize
A note on the performance of Rappaport's medium, compared with Rappaport‐Vassiliadis broth, in the isolation of salmonellas from meat products, after pre‐enrichment
No full textSalmonellas were isolated from meat products using a slightly modified Rappaport's enrichment medium (R25), Rappaport‐Vassiliadis procedure (Rappaport's broth containing 10 ml instead of 30 ml of Malachite Green solution and incubated at 43oC instead of 37oC), and Muller‐Kauffmann's tetrathionate broth. From 255 samples, 89 were found positive with the Rappaport‐Vassiliadis procedure, 83 with the R25 broth, whereas only 43 were positive with Muller‐Kauffmann broth. It is concluded that the R25 medium may be used as an alternative to the more effective Rappaport‐Vassiliadis broth when the only available incubation temperature is 37oC.

Letter from Percy Rappaport to Clair Engle Regarding US House Resolution 9324, March 12, 1956
No full textThis letter, dated March 12, 1956, from Percy Rappaport, Assistant Director in the United States (US) Bureau of the Budget to US Representative and Chair of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs Clair Engle provides the requested perspective of the US Bureau of the Budget on US House Resolution 9324 (H. R. 9324). The bill would grant hunting, fishing, and grazing rights to the Three Affiliated Tribes on land taken by the US government for construction of the Garrison Dam. This bill is identical to US Senate Bill 1956 (S. 1956). An amendment is suggested for the bill and with the amendment, the US Bureau of the Budget approves of the bill.

Enrichment in Muller‐Kauffmann's Broth and Rappaport's Broth from Buffered Peptone Water in the Isolation of Salmonellae from Minced Meat
No full textFour hundred and ninetysix samples of minced meat were examined for the presence of salmonellae. The methods of isolation used in the study were: (a) the standardized direct technique of enrichment in Muller‐Kauffmann's broth incubated at 43· for 24 and 48 h, described by Edel & Kampelmacher (1969), (b) secondary enrichment in Rappaport's broth from the former medium after 24 h incubation, and (c) pre‐enrichments in buffered peptone water incubated at 37·, followed by enrichments in Muller‐Kauffmann's and in Rappaport's broth. These last procedures resulted in the higher rates of isolation of salmonellae with a slight, but not statistically significant, superiority of the enrichment in Rappaport's medium.

Rappaport, Revisited
No full textabstract: In Ritual and Religion in the Making of Humanity, Roy Rappaport misses an opportunity to more tightly theorize the synergistic relationship between concepts of the divine, the psyches of ritual participants, and the adaptive dynamics of religious sociality. This paper proposes such a theory by drawing on implicit features of Rappaport’s account, fulfilling his goal of a “cybernetics of the holy.” I argue that concepts of the divine, when made authoritative for participants through ritual, have three important effects: they invite intense and meaningful reconstructions of personal identity according to paradigmatic examples; they act as a form of encoded social memory by organizing human relationship according to a “spiritual map”; and they provide the cognitive framework that make religious community organization robust, adaptive, and reproductive. We can characterize divine concepts as “specified absences” that ground each of these effects and link them together in a mutually-reinforcing set.This is the author's version of the work.

Incubation at raised temperature of enrichment media, combined with secondary enrichment in Rappaport's medium, for the isolation of salmonellas from sewage
No full textA total of 50 duplicate Moore swabs were placed for 2 days, on five different dates, in 9–12 points of the Athens sewage disposal system. Three methods of enrichment were used for the isolation of salmonellas. In the first method, one half of the duplicate swabs was incubated in Muller–Kauffmann's tetrathionate broth at 43° C. for one day. For the second method, a secondary enrichment was carried out in Rappaport's broth, made from the Muller–Kauffmann's broth and for the third method, the other half of the duplicate swab was cultured in Heart Infusion broth at 43° C. for 16–18 hr. after which a secondary enrichment was made in Rappaport's medium. By use of these 3 enrichment procedures, 96% of the swabs were found to be positive for salmonellas. A total of 178 strains were isolated (an average of 3·7 strains per positive swab), belonging to 53 different serotypes (an average of 1·1 different serotypes per positive swab). With the simple enrichment in Muller–Kauffmann's broth, only 72% of the swabs were found positive, and 68 strains of salmonellas belonging to 30 different serotypes were isolated. The secondary enrichment in Rappaport's medium made from the Muller–Kauffmann's broth produced 88% positive samples, and yielded 82 strains belonging to 34 different serotypes. Finally, with the secondary enrichment in Rappaport's broth made from the heart infusion broth, 92% of the swabs were positive and yielded 67 strains of salmonellas belonging to 27 different serotypes. Although the last procedure yielded the greatest number of positive swabs, the method involving secondary enrichment in Rappaport's broth made from Muller–Kauffmann's broth led to the isolation of the greatest number of strains and different serotypes, while the other two procedures were approximately equal in this respect. Of the 178 strains isolated, 110 were recovered only by the procedures involving secondary enrichment in Rappaport's broth. The most frequently isolated serotypes were Salmonella senftenberg (33 strains), S.typhimurium including var-copenhagen (18 strains), S.poona (11 strains), S.montevideo (10 strains), etc. The following 23 serotypes were isolated for the first time in Greece: S. adelaide, S. alachua, S. allerton, S. binza, S. bobo, S. butantan, S. gnesta, S. goelzau, S. haelsingborg, S. havana, S. hofit, S. ibadan, S. indiana, S. irumu, S. jodhpur, S. nienstedten, S. panama, S. pomona, S. poona, S. reading, S. schwarzengrund, S. stockholm, S. tournai. Moreover, a new serotype, S. athinai was described. © 1975, Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved
A Note on the Comparison of two Modifications of Rappaport's Medium with Selenite Broth in the Isolation of Salmonellas
No full textTwo modified Rappaport's enrichment broths were compared with selenite broth in the isolation of salmonellas from pork sausages. It was found that: (1) both modifications of Rappaport's broth were significantly superior to selenite broth, and (2) one of the modifications (R10/43°C), had a remarkable inhibitory effect on the competing bacteria, including those which produce salmonella‐like colonies.
