[Robert B. Parrott]
No full textPortrait of Robert Blanks Parrott, who in 1862 enlisted as a private in Lt. Col. John Singleton Mosby's Forty-third Virginia Cavalry Battalion, before eventually being elected second sergeant of Company F. After the war, Parrott moved to Waco and became a life insurance agent, eventually founding the Texas Real Estate Association. In 1892 he became an aide on the staff for Governor Richard B. Hubbard, with the rank of colonel.Verso: [imprinted] Jackson & Knight, Photographers, Waco, Texas.; [handwritten] R. B. Parrott

The archaeoacoustics of San Vitale, Ravenna
No full textThis research tests and assesses whether sixth-century social and cultural dynamics can be archaeologically identified by including the study of acoustics in the context of extant Late Antique Christian architecture, namely the centrally planned domed octagonal church of San Vitale at Ravenna. Implementing a holistic archaeological research strategy that includes human sensory perception of acoustical phenomena is the best approach to unravelling the complexities of social and cultural mechanisms operating in the sixth-century Mediterranean basin. The methods and issues of Archaeoacoustics are critiqued and developed in order to comment on the intentionality of acoustic attributes in sixth-century ecclesiastical architecture.The space syntax of San Vitale has been considered for isovists at key locations during the liturgical procession and sequence of the Mass celebration. These are compared with mapped areas of perceiving the acoustic characteristics of Clarity and Reverberation Time. Combining the visual and acoustic analysis of San Vitale, with a better understanding of its date and construction phases, the physical geometry and temporal logic of the church are discussed in relation to the reflexive exchange of influence between Ravenna, Milan and Constantinople. It is posited that liturgical and musical time and tempo is materially expressed in the evident and conceptual substance of San Vitale, a suggestion that offers a springboard for future study and debate

Primary cilia elongation in response to interleukin-1 mediates the inflammatory response
No full textPrimary cilia are singular, cytoskeletal organelles present in the majority of mammalian cell types where they function as coordinating centres for mechanotransduction, Wnt and hedgehog signalling. The length of the primary cilium is proposed to modulate cilia function, governed in part by the activity of intraflagellar transport (IFT). In articular cartilage, primary cilia length is increased and hedgehog signaling activated in osteoarthritis (OA). Here, we examine primary cilia length with exposure to the quintessential inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1), which is up-regulated in OA. We then test the hypothesis that the cilium is involved in mediating the downstream inflammatory response. Primary chondrocytes treated with IL-1 exhibited a 50 % increase in cilia length after 3 h exposure. IL-1-induced cilia elongation was also observed in human fibroblasts. In chondrocytes, this elongation occurred via a protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent mechanism. G-protein coupled adenylate cyclase also regulated the length of chondrocyte primary cilia but not downstream of IL-1. Chondrocytes treated with IL-1 exhibit a characteristic increase in the release of the inflammatory chemokines, nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2. However, in cells with a mutation in IFT88 whereby the cilia structure is lost, this response to IL-1 was significantly attenuated and, in the case of nitric oxide, completely abolished. Inhibition of IL-1-induced cilia elongation by PKA inhibition also attenuated the chemokine response. These results suggest that cilia assembly regulates the response to inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, the cilia proteome may provide a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammatory pathologies, including OA
Falloff curves of the reaction CF<sub>3</sub> (+M) → CF<sub>2</sub> + F (+M).
No full textThe thermal dissociation reaction CF3 (+ Ar) → CF2 + F (+ Ar) was studied in incident and reflected shock waves by monitoring UV absorption signals of the primary dissociation product CF2. CF3 radicals were produced by thermal decomposition of CF3I. Accounting for secondary reactions of F atoms, rate constants for the unimolecular dissociation were derived. Experimental parts of the falloff curves were obtained over the ranges 1544 - 2106 K and 1.0×〖10〗^(-5)≤["Ar" ]≤9.3×〖10〗^(-5 ) "mol " 〖"cm" 〗^"-3" . Theoretical modelling allowed for a construction of the full falloff curves connecting the limiting low pressure rate constants k_0=["Ar" ] 2.5×〖10〗^18 (T⁄(2000 "K" ))^(-5.1) " exp" ((-42450 "K" )⁄T) 〖"cm" 〗^"3" 〖"mol" 〗^(-1) "s" ^(-1) with the limiting high pressure rate constants k_∞= 1.6×〖10〗^16 (T⁄(2000 "K" ))^(-1.3) "exp" ((-43250 "K" )⁄T) "s" ^(-1) (center broadening factors of F_cent= 0.25, 0.22, and 0.20 at 1500, 2000, and 2500 K, respectively, were used). The influence of simplifications of falloff expressions and of limiting rate constants on the representation of experimental data is discussed
