Rzeki Adda i Pad jako miejsca pamięci literackiej w idylli Adda Alessandra Manzoniego
No full textThe article aims at analyzing the idyll Adda by Alessandro Manzoni, one of the greatest representatives of the Italian Romanticism. The Adda is one of the early, neoclassical works of Manzoni. The young author presents the monologue of the nymph Adda, the goddess of the river of the same name, who invites to her humble kingdom the poet Vincenzo Monti, born on the banks of the great Po. The rivers Adda and Po are presented in the Manzoni’s idyll as the places of the literary memory
Gebel Adda and its environs: 50 years on
No full text[First paragraph] Following the 2015 Kirwan Memorial Lecture delivered by Dr Grzymski (see also Grzymski 2010) this
further brief article concerning the ARCE excavations at Gebel Adda has been prepared drawing on
personal records of one of the participants (RH) and information provided by Horst Jaritz and the late
Richard Edlund1 relating to a range of archaeological material in and around Gebel Adda. This
summarises a much more extensive series of notes prepared by the first author (RH) along with
drawings and photographs. With the aid of aerial photographs from the collections of George Gerster
a composite map of Gebel Adda and its environs has also been prepared (fig.1) indicating some of the
main sites in and around the ARCE concession including the outlines of the main cemeteries. It is
hoped that this may be useful for those working with the various published reports which lack
supporting mapping/plans

Polissage électrolytique des oxydes métalliques
No full textLe polissage électrolytique de certains composés ioniques conducteurs ou semi-conducteurs peut être réalisé suivant une méthode dérivant du procédé Jacquet. On peut ainsi obtenir, sur des échantillons extrêmement fragiles, tels que des oxydes de fer ou de cuivre, FeO et Cu₂O, des surfaces parfaitement polies sans altération de structure. Les auteurs appliquent ce procédé à l'étude, par micrographie optique et électronique, des propriétés du protoxyde de fer.Adda Yves, Collongues Robert.

Gebel Adda Cemeteries 3 and 4 (1963-1964)
No full textThe excavation team of the American Research Center in
Egypt, under the direction of Dr Nicholas B. Millet, first
arrived at Gebel Adda in January 1963, for what were to
be four excavation seasons. Excavations started in Cemetery
1, which included numerous tumuli, extending over
c. 450m from the southern end of the concession to north
east of the Citadel (Millet 1963). Work began in the south
of the cemetery and excavated c. 127 tumuli, dated to the
later post-Meroitic (X-Group) period. In the same area,
amongst the tumuli, c. 30 medieval (Christian) graves were
also found, thought likely to date to the earliest period
of Christianization at Gebel Adda. Four examples of the
double domed mud-brick tombs of the post-medieval
(Islamic) period were also excavated in Cemetery One.
In March 1963 excavations were also begun in Cemetery
3, lying some 160m south east of the Citadel hill (Figure
1, Plate 1), an area covered with much wind-blown sand,
exposing c. 400 tombs during the first season (Millet 1963,
154). This work was continued in the second (1963-1964)
season (Millet 1964) and the third season, for which no
preliminary report was published (see also Millet 1967b;
1968; 2005; Grzymski 2010).
Some preliminary observations of this area were published
as the excavations were still underway by Millet (Millet 1963;
1964), but little else relating to this important work has yet
been published. However, the first author (RH), as a member
of the ARCE team, can throw some further light on some features of the excavations. Most importantly, having carried
out much of the original preparation of site plans, it has been
possible to reconstruct here some partial plans of Cemetery
3, which together with personal photographs of the site
provide some useful new information concerning this part of
the Gebel Adda excavations. Until the surviving site archives
are more fully studied, and hopefully published, this brief
report, as with previous reports (Huber and Edwards 2009;
2010), can provide a few further insights into the fascinating
and clearly complex history of the Gebel Adda cemeteries
Improved diastolic function in type 2 diabetes after a six month liraglutide treatment
No full textAbstractAimsTo investigate whether liraglutide improves diastolic function in type 2 diabetes.MethodsThirty-seven patients with type 2 diabetes who began liraglutide therapy between June 2013 and May 2014 were enrolled in this observational, prospective study. 26 patients received liraglutide therapy for at least 6months. The remaining 11 patients withdrew from liraglutide therapy during the first month, were started on other hypoglycaemic therapies and formed the control group. Anthropometric, metabolic and echocardiographic parameters including pulsed wave tissue Doppler imaging were evaluated at baseline and at 6months.ResultsIn the liraglutide group the early diastolic mitral annulus velocity on the lateral (e-lat) and medial (e-med) sides of the mitral annulus increased from 9.2±3.4 to 11.6±4.7cm/s (p<0.001) and from 6.9±1.7 to 8.4±2.6cm/s (p<0.003), respectively. The ratio of early-to-late velocities on the lateral and medial sides of the mitral annulus increased from 0.7±0.3 to 0.9±0.4 (p<0.001) and from 0.5±0.1 to 0.6±0.1 (p<0.02), respectively. The ratio of early diastolic mitral inflow velocity to early diastolic myocardial relaxation velocity decreased from 10.7±4.3 to 8.5±2.5 (p<0.005). No improvements in diastolic function was detected in the control group. Glucose control improved similarly in both groups: HA1bc −1.5% (−17mmol/mol) vs −1.3% (−14mmol/mol), p=0.67.ConclusionsIn patients with type 2 diabetes, 6months liraglutide treatment was associated with a significant improvement in diastolic function
