Atomic force microscopy study of thick lamellar stacks of phospholipid bilayers
No full textWe report an atomic force microscopy (AFM) study on thick multilamellar stacks of approximately 10 mu m thickness (about 1500 stacked membranes) of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phoshatidylcholine deposited on silicon wafers. These thick stacks could be stabilized for measurements under excess water or solution. From the force curves we determine the compressional modulus B and the rupture force F(r) of the bilayers in the gel (ripple), in the fluid phase, and in the range of critical swelling close to the main transition. We observe pronounced ripples on the top layer in the P(beta') (ripple) phase and find an increasing ripple period Lambda(r) when approaching the temperature of the main phase transition into the fluid L(alpha) phase at about 24 degrees C. Metastable ripples with 2 Lambda(r) are observed. Lambda(r) also increases with increasing osmotic pressure, i.e., for different concentrations of polyethylene glycol
Spider silk softening by water uptake: an AFM study
No full textWe have investigated the mechanical properties of spider dragline fibers of three Nephila species under varied relative humidity. Force maps have been collected by atomic force microscopy. The Young's modulus E was derived from the indentation curves of each pixel by the modified Hertz model. An average decrease in E by an order of magnitude was observed upon immersion of the fiber in water. Single fiber stretching experiments were carried out for comparison, and also showed a strong dependence on relative humidity. However, the absolute values of E are significantly higher than those obtained by indentation. The results of this work thus show that the elastic properties of spider silk are highly anisotropic, and that the silk softens significantly for both tensile and compressional strain (indentation) upon water uptake. In addition, the force maps indicate a surface structure on the sub-micron scale
Arne Garborg og fela
Full text linkFra og med 2017 er artiklene som publiseres i Musikk og tradisjon lisensiert under en Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.The Norwegian author Arne Garborg (1851–1924) was one of Europe’s foremost intellectuals with a production of novels, short stories, poetry and articles, covering many fields and with a vast number of readers both in Norway and elsewhere. As a young man Garborg had learnt to play the fiddle. Later on, he learnt to play the Hardanger fiddle. The Norwegian public debate at the turn of the previous century witnessed a polarization between rural and urban ideological values, and Arne Garborg became the main spokesman for the rural part. The article raises two questions: What does one actually know about Arne Garborg’s fiddle playing? In what ways did the (Hardanger) fiddle and folk music influence Garborg’s life and ideological standpoints? This article follows two perspectives. First; music and fiddle playing seems to have been Garborg’s lifelong companions. Secondly; the Norwegianism movement, which Garborg became the main spokesman for, became a leading factor in the Norwegian public debate more or less at the same time as the Hardanger fiddle gained status as Norway’s national instrument. Drawing on different types of sources (written, graphic, and eyewitness), this article investigates the presence of music in Garborg’s life and shows that he can be regarded as a good amateur musician capable of expressing himself on both the fiddle and the Hardanger fiddle, and with a solid knowledge of Norwegian folk music. This opens for reflections regarding to what extent Arne Garborg may have looked upon folk music, folk dance, fiddle and Hardanger fiddle playing as vital parts of rural values worth pursuing for the Norwegianism movement.publishedVersio

Arne Sucksdorff professor incômodo no Brasil
No full textThis article discusses the film course by Swedish filmmaker Arne Sucksdorff between November 1962 and March 1963 in Rio de Janeiro, which was an invitation from UNESCO and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil. This experience involved the first Nagra equipment to capture direct sound to arrive in Brazil, and the strained relations between an award-winning foreign master, author of a cinema difficult to classify, and his young engaged students that contributed to the cinema to come.Cet article présente le cours de cinéma dispensé par le cinéaste suédois Arne Sucksdorffentre novembre 1962 etmars 1963à Rio de Janeiro, à l’invitation de l’UNESCO et du ministère brésilien des Affaires étrangères.

Intermediate state dependence of the photoelectron circular dichroism of fenchone observed via femtosecond resonance-enhanced multi-photon ionization
No full textThe intermediate state dependence of photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) in resonance-enhanced multi-photon ionization of fenchone in the gas phase is experimentally studied. By scanning the excitation wavelength from 359 to 431 nm, we simultaneously excite up to three electronically distinct resonances. In the PECD experiment performed with a broadband femtosecond laser, their respective contributions to the photoelectron spectrum can be resolved. High-resolution spectroscopy allows us to identify two of the resonances as belonging to the B- and C-bands, which involve excitation to states with 3s and 3p Rydberg character, respectively. We observe a sign change in the PECD signal, depending on which electronic state is used as an intermediate, and are able to identify two differently behaving contributions within the C-band. Scanning the laser wavelength reveals a decrease of PECD magnitude with increasing photoelectron energy for the 3s state. Combining the results of high-resolution spectroscopy and femtosecond experiment, the adiabatic ionization potential of fenchone is determined to be IPaFen = (8.49 +/- 0.06) eV.
