Sebastian L. Vogel Reminiscence
No full textTyped reminiscence (26 leaves) by Vogel detailing his involvement in World War II. Vogel served in the 427th Bomb Squadron of the 303rd Heavy Bombardment Group, where he was a radio operator, aerial machine gunner and radio mechanic. After training in the United States, he was sent to England in 1942 and involved in aerial raids over occupied France. This reminiscence details a raid on January 23, 1943 at Lorient, France in which the aircraft he was in was hit and some of the crew parachuted to near Brest, France. They were rescued by local French, then moved to different locations to avoid German soldiers. They made their way to Carntec where they were able to sail back to England. The Germans detected their departure and attempted to fire on them, but the rainy weather and darkness prevented them to pursue the airmen. They arrived safely in England. The reminiscence also includes a photocopy of a 1943 telegram to Rose Vogel that Sebastian is no longer missing and has returned to duty, and his citation on being awarded the Purple Heart and Air Medal

Efficient Distributed Intrusion Detection applying Multi Step Signatures
No full textIntrusion Detection Systems (IDS) offer valuable measures to cope with today’s attacks on computers and networks. But the increasing performance of networks and end systems and the growing complexity of IT systems lead to rapidly growing volumes of observation data and large signature bases. Therefore, IDS are forced to drop observations in high load situations offering chances to attackers to act undetectable. We introduce an efficient dynamically adaptable, distributed approach for a multi-step signature based IDS. Finally, we discuss initial performance evaluations of a prototype implementation and motivate future work scopes
Episode 35: Alexis Castellanos, Author of “Isla to Island”, and Her Panel Presentation during the Operación Pedro Pan Two-Day Event
No full textIn Part 1 of “Operación Pedro Pan: The Voices and Stories of Cuba’s Child Exodus—A Knights HistoryCast Mini-Series,” the Department of History’s Sebastian Garcia talked with Alexis Castellanos, an author, illustrator, graphic novelist, and a panelist at the esteemed, conspicuous, and powerful “Operación Pedro Pan: Honoring the Cultural, Historical Legacy of Cuba’s Child Exodus” Two-Day Program that Florida Humanities, UCF’s Department of English and Department of Modern Languages and Literatures sponsored (see https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/ for more details on sponsors and the program in general).
Sebastian structured this specific episode on Alexis Castellanos’ Isla to Island, a wordless graphic novel grounded by her personal family history and the history of Operación Pedro Pan (Operation Peter Pan). By analyzing such a historic event through the medium of fiction, Sebastian argued that this is one of the most unique Knights HistoryCast episodes of all time. Naturally, their conversation expanded to what she talked about during her panel presentation in Panel One, Day 1 of the event that featured “internationally renowned scholars that discussed the political, historical, and cultural legacy of Operación Pedro Pan (1960-1962).” (https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/)

Revised modelling of the post-AD 79 volcanic deposits of Somma-Vesuvius to reconstruct the pre-AD 79 topography of the Sarno River plain (Italy)
No full textIn this study the methodology proposed by Vogel & Märker (2010) to reconstruct the pre-AD 79 topography and paleo-environmental features of the Sarno River plain (Italy) was considerably revised and improved. The methodology is based on an extensive dataset of stratigraphical information from the entire Sarno River plain, a high-resolution present-day digital elevation model (DEM) and a classification and regression tree approach. The dataset was re-evaluated and 32 additional stratigraphical drillings were collected in areas that were not or insufficiently covered by previous stratigraphic data. Altogether, an assemblage of 1,840 drillings, containing information about the depth from the present-day surface to the pre-AD 79 paleo-surface (thickness of post-AD 79 deposits) and the character of the pre-AD 79 paleo-layer of the Sarno River plain was utilized. Moreover, an improved preprocessing of the input parameters attained a distinct progress in model performance in comparison to the previous model of Vogel & Märker (2010). Subsequently, a spatial model of the post-AD 79 deposits was generated. The modelled deposits were then used to reconstruct the pre-AD 79 topography of the Sarno River plain. Moreover, paleo-environmental and paleo-geomorphological features such as the paleo-coastline, the paleo-Sarno River and its floodplain, alluvial fans near the Tyrrhenian coast as well as abrasion terraces of historical and protohistorical coastlines were identified. This reconstruction represents a qualitative improvement of the previous work by Vogel & Märker (2010)
"Cronica der Turckey" Sebastian Franck's Translation of the "Tractatus de Moribus, Condicionibus et Nequitia Turcorum" by Georgius de Hungaria
No full textThe Tractatus de moribus, condicionibus et nequitia Turcorum is one of the most important first-hand accounts of life in fifteenth-century Turkey known to modern scholarship. It is the work of a Christian former slave of the Turks, writing after his return to the West. Although the author does not name himself, he can be identified as a
Dominican priest, Georgius de Hungaria, who died in Rome in 1502. His Tractatus is conceived as a work of anti-Islamic polemic, yet it contains a surprisingly unbiased appraisal of Turkish customs.
First printed c.1480 when European apprehension in the face of Ottoman expansion was at its height, the Tractatus was reprinted in numerous editions, and was widely used as a
source by other authors. Luther edited the text in 1530, using the positive account of Turkish customs and religious observance as a weapon in his polemic against the Roman
Catholic Church: if heathens could perform such exemplary works, who could fail to doubt the efficacy of works as a means of salvation?
Sebastian Franck in his German translation of the Tractatus went further: replacing Georgius' commentary with his own, he used the text to attack institutional religion as a
whole and to promote his concept of a non-dogmatic, spiritual Church of individuals united with each other only through their union with God -a Church which was not closed to Moslems or members of any other creed. This translation or adaptation, the Cronica der Türckey, marks Franck's decisive break with the Lutheran cause and the beginning of his lonely path as a 'spiritual individualist'. Franck reworked his translation of the Tractatus for his major geographical work, the Weltbuch of 1534.
This thesis concerns itself primarily with Franck's Cronica, providing the first modern critical edition of this text, in a near-diplomatic transcription with an extensive glossary. The thesis also includes transcriptions of the Tractatus; of Türckei, an anonymous translation of the Tractatus, and of relevant additional material from Franck's Weltbuch. None of these texts has been published in full in a modern edition.
In the Introduction Franck's Cronica is compared in detail with the Tractatus, highlighting the changes that occur in translation; the character and the significance of these changes are then discussed. It is established that Franck, whilst being unwilling to reverse any of Georgius' value judgements on Islam and Turkish culture, is highly selective in his choice of material for translation, and frequently gives the text new nuances and adds his own
comment. The question of the Tractatus' influence on Franck's further development as a writer and thinker is also raised.
The investigation then turns to Franck's use of the Tractatus material in his Weltbuch. His eclecticism becomes apparent in this text, in which Georgius' account is juxtaposed - but not synthesised - with material from other sources, often of lesser veracity and greater anti-Islamic bias. Franck's distortion of the Tractatus material to suit his own line of argument is clearly discernible: from the unique phenomenon presented in the Tractatus the Turks
become one more example of the general human tendency to externalise and dogmatise faith.
In addition, the transmission of Cronica and Türckei is examined, and the relationship between these two translations is clarified: Franck certainly used Türckei in writing his Cronica, but is unlikely to be the author of the anonymous work
Reaching across the Divide: How Monometalation of One Binding Pocket Affects the Empty Binding Pocket in a Siamese-Twin Porphyrin Palladium Complex
No full textSiamese -twin porphyrin is a pyrazole-containing expanded porphyrin incorporating two porphyrin-like binding pockets. The macrocycle, however, does not possess an aromatic pi system but rather two separated conjugation pathways that are isolated by the pyrazole junctions. Mono- and bimetallic complexes of the Siamese-twin porphyrin are known. This work addresses in detail the electronic consequences that monometalation (with Pe) has on the electronic properties of the nonmetalated binding pocket by studying the solid-state structure, acid/base, and electrochemical properties of the monopalladium twin-porphyrin complex. Specifically, metalation leads to a switch of the protonation sites of the free-base pocket. The unusual location of the protons at adjacent pyrrolic nitrogen atoms was revealed using X-ray diffraction and 1D/2D NMR spectroscopy. The one electron oxidation and reduction events are both ligand-centered, as derived by spectroelectrochemical and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements, but are located on different halves of the molecule. Single-electron oxidation (-0.32 V vs Fc/Fc(+)) generated an organic radical centered on the metal-coordinating side of the ligand, while single-electron reduction (-1.59 V vs Fc/Fc(+)) led to the formation of an organic radical on the free-base side of the macrocycle. Density functional theory calculations corroborated the redox chemistry observed. The possibility of selectively preparing the monometallic complexes carrying two distinct redox sites a metal-containing oxidation site and a metal-free reduction site further expands the potential of Siamese-twin porphyrins to serve as an adjustable platform for multielectron redox processes in chemical catalysis or molecular electronics applications
