Das neue digitale ‚Shakespeare-Bildarchiv Oppel-Hammerschmidt‘ an der Universitätsbibliothek Mainz : Reden und Beiträge anlässlich seiner öffentlichen Vorstellung am 17. November 2008 an der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz

On the basis of illustrations of Shakespeare's Hamlet, the new digital 'Oppel-Hammerschmidt Shakespeare Illustration Archive' at the Mainz University Library - together with a lavishly-constructed and multiply-linked Web interface version - was presented to the public on 17 November 2008. This e-book, edited by Andreas Anderhub and Hildegard Hammerschmidt-Hummel, contains the speeches and presentations given on the occasion of the opening ceremony of the electronic archive. The collection of the new archive, published here for the first time, holds about 3,500 images and is part of the only Shakespeare illustration archive in the world. The Shakespeare Illustration Archive was founded in 1946 by the internationally acclaimed Shakespeare and Goethe scholar, Prof. Horst Oppel. This part of the archive was donated to the Mainz University Library on condition that its holdings be digitalised and made available to the public. The collection has been named 'The Oppel-Hammerschmidt Shakespeare Illustration Archive' in accordance with the terms of the Agreement of Donation of 9, 15, and 16 September 2005, and honouring the 16 March 1988 Delegation of Authority and Declaration of Intent by Frau Ingeborg Oppel, Prof. Oppel's widow and legal assignee. Vice-President Prof. Jürgen Oldenstein opened the proceedings by noting that 2008 had been a good year for international Shakespeare scholarship. For, in London, the site of the 'Theatre' in Shoreditch, where Shakespeare's company performed, had been unearthed, and in Mainz the Shakespeare Archive had gone online with thousands of illustrations. The Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy and Philology, Prof. Mechthild Dreyer, who mentioned that she herself had long been successfully employing interdisciplinary research methods, took particular pleasure in the transdisciplinary approach to research resolutely pursued by Prof. Hammerschmidt-Hummel. Prof. Clemens Zintzen (Cologne), former President of the Mainz Academy of Literature and Sciences, recalled highlights from the more than sixty-year-long history of the Shakespeare Illustration Archive. Prof. Kurt Otten (Heidelberg and Cambridge) drew an impressive portrait of Horst Oppel's personality as an academic and praised his influential books on Goethe and Shakespeare. He pointed out that Oppel's Shakespeare Illustration Archive, the basis for many a dissertation, had enjoyed great popularity around the world. Prof. Otten also delineated the academic career of Prof. Hammerschmidt-Hummel and her new findings regarding Shakespeare's time, life and work. Prof. Rüdiger Ahrens OBE (Würzburg) drew attention to Prof. Hammerschmidt-Hummel's research results, directly or indirectly arising out of her work on the Shakespeare Illustration Archive. This research had centred on proving the authenticity of four visual representations of Shakespeare (the Chandos and Flower portraits, the Davenant bust and the Darmstadt Shakespeare death mask); solving the mystery around Shakespeare's 'Dark Lady'; and establishing the dramatist's Catholic religion. Prof. Hammerschmidt-Hummel reported on her 'Shakespeare Illustration' project, describing the nature, dimensions and significance of the Archive's pictorial material, which relates to all of Shakespeare's plays and stretches over five centuries. She explained that the digital 'Oppel-Hammerschmidt Illustration Archive' was an addition to the three-volume edition she had compiled, authored and edited for publication in 2003. Unlike the print version, however, the digital collection had only been partly editorially prepared. It represented source material and a basis for further work. Hammerschmidt-Hummel expressed her thanks to the Head of the Central University Library, Dr Andreas Anderhub, for his untiring commitment. After the initial donation had been made, he had entered enthusiastically into setting up the necessary contacts, getting all the work underway, and clearing the legal hurdles. Hammerschmidt-Hummel was especially grateful to University of Mainz librarian Heike Geisel, who had worked for nearly five years to carry out the large-scale digitalization of a total of 8,800 items. Frau Geisel was also extremely resourceful in devising ways of making the collection yield even more, e.g. by classifying and cross-linking the data, assembling clusters of individual topics that lend themselves to research, and (in collaboration with the art historian Dr Klaus Weber) making the archive's index of artists compatible with the data-bank of artists held by the University of Mainz Institute of Art History. In addition, she compiled an extremely helpful 'users' guide' to the new digital collection. Frau Geisel had enjoyed invaluable support from Dr Annette Holzapfel-Pschorn, the leading academic in the Central IT Department at the University, who set up an intelligent, most impressive Web interface using the latest application technologies. Frau Geisel and Dr Holzapfel-Pschorn were highly praised for their convincing demonstration, using illustrations to Hamlet, of how to access this well-devised and exceptionally user-friendly Web version. For legal reasons, Prof. Hammerschmidt-Hummel pointed out, the collection could not be released for open access on the internet. The media - as Dr Anderhub stressed in his foreword - had shown great interest in the new digital collection of thousands of Shakespearean illustrations (cf. Benjamin Cor's TV feature in "Tagesthemen", 17 November 2008, presented by Tom Buhrow). The ‘Oppel-Hammerschmidt Shakespeare Illustration Archive’ should also meet with particular interest not only among academic specialists, but also among the performers of the arts and persons active in the cultural realm in general, as well as theatre and film directors, literary managers, teachers, and countless Shakespeare enthusiasts.

Mechanical modeling of Intraneural Ganglion Cyst

Intraneural Ganglion Cyst is a 200 year old mystery related to nerve injury which is yet to be solved. Current treatments for the above problem are relatively simple procedures related to removal of cystic contents from the nerve. However, these treatments may result into neuropathic pain and recurrence of the cyst. The articular theory proposed by Spinner et al., (Spinner et al. 2003) takes into consideration the neurological deficit in Common Peroneal Nerve (CPN) branch of the sciatic nerve and affirms that in addition to the above treatments, ligation of articular branch results into foolproof eradication of the deficit. Mechanical Modeling of the Affected Nerve Cross Section will reinforce the articular theory (Spinner et al. 2003). As the cyst propagates, it compresses the neighboring fascicles and the nerve cross section appears like a signet ring. Hence, in order to mechanically model the affected nerve cross section; computational methods capable of modeling excessively large deformations are required. Traditional FEM produces distorted elements while modeling such deformations, resulting into inaccuracies and premature termination of the analysis. The methods described in this Master’s Thesis are effective enough to be able to simulate such deformations. The results obtained from the model adequately resemble the MRI image obtained at the same location and shows an appearance of a signet ring. This Master’s Thesis describes the neurological deficit in brief followed by detail explanation of the advanced computational methods used to simulate this problem. Finally, qualitative results show the resemblance of mechanical model to MRI images of the Nerve Cross Section at the same location validating the capability of these methods to study this neurological deficit.

Reverse Engineering the Structural and Acoustic Behavior of a Stradivari Violin

There is a tremendous amount of mystery that surrounds the instruments of Antonio Stradivari. There have been many studies done in the past, but no one completely understands exactly how he made his instruments, or why they are still considered the best in the world. This project is designed to develop an engineering model of one of Stradivari's violins that will accurately simulate the structural and acoustic behavior of the instrument. It also hopes to shine some light on what makes the instruments of Stradivari unique when compared to other violins. It will focus on geometry and material properties, utilizing several modern engineering tools, including CT scanning, experimental modal analysis, finite element analysis, correlation techniques, and acoustic synthesis.

Combinatorial chromophore assembly inside a DNA four-way junction

In 1964 first proposed by Robin Holliday as a mechanistic model to solve the mystery of how genetic information is exchanged in yeast, the DNA four-way junction or Holliday junction (HJ) was proofed to be the key in- termediate in homologous recombination and became an important tool in the field of DNA origami, computation and nanomachines. Herein we use the assembly of four modified nucleic acid strands into the planar square conformation of this higher order DNA structure to demonstrate in a proof of principle manner the cumulative effect of pyrene moieties interacting inside the junction.[1][2]

Comparative studies of Hox genes in mammalian limb and vertebral pattern formation

Divergence of anterior-posterior (AP) limb pattern and differences in vertebral column morphology are the two main examples of mammalian evolution. The Hox genes (homeobox containing gene) have been implicated in driving evolution of these structures. However, regarding Hox genes, how they contribute to the generation of mammalian morphological diversities, is still unclear. Implementing comparative gene expression and phenotypic rescue studies for different mammalian Hox genes could aid in unraveling this mystery. In the first part of this thesis, the expression pattern of Hoxd13 gene, a key Hox gene in the establishment of the limb AP pattern, was examined in developing limbs of bats and mice. Bat forelimbs exhibit a pronounced asymmetric AP pattern and offer a good model to study the molecular mechanisms that contribute to the variety of mammalian limbs. The data showed that the expression domain of bat Hoxd13 was shifted prior to the asymmetric limb plate expansion, whereas its domain in mice was much more symmetric. This finding reveals a correlation between the divergence of Hoxd13 expression and the AP patterning difference in limb development. The second part of this thesis details a phenotypic rescue approach by human HOXB1-9 transgenes in mice with Hoxb1-9 deletion, The mouse mutants displayed homeosis in cervical and anterior thoracic vertebrae. The human transgenes entirely rescued the mouse mutants, suggesting that these human HOX genes have similar functions to their mouse orthologues in anterior axial skeletal patterning. The anterior expressing human HOXB transgenes such as HOXB1-3 were expressed in the mouse embryonic trunk in a similar manner as their murine orthologues. However, the anterior boundary of human HOXB9 expression domain was more posterior than that of the mouse Hoxb9 by 2-3 somites. These data provide the molecular support for the hypothesis that Hox genes are responsible for maintaining similar anterior axial skeletal architectures cervical and anterior thoracic regions, but different architectures in lumbar and posterior thoracic regions between humans and mice. ^

Scaffolding of adenylyl cyclase by A Kinase Anchoring Proteins

Adenylyl cyclase (AC) converts ATP into cAMP, which activates protein kinase A (PKA). Activation of PKA leads to the phosphorylation of specific substrates. The mechanism of specificity of PKA phosphorylation baffled researchers for many years. The discovery of A Kinase Anchoring Proteins (AKAPs) has helped to unravel this mystery. AKAPs function to target PKA to specific regions within the cell. They also anchor other enzymes, receptors, or channels leading to tightly regulated signaling modules. Several studies have suggested an important role for activated PKA in these complexes, including the AKAPs yotiao and muscle AKAP (mAKAP). Yotiao, a plasma membrane AKAP, anchors PP1, NMDA receptors, IP3 receptors, and heart potassium channel subunit KCNQI. PKA phosphorylation of NMDA receptors as well as KCNQI leads to increased channel activity. Patients with mutations in KCNQI or yotiao that cause loss of targeting of KCNQI develop long QT syndrome, which can be fatal. mAKAP anchors several CAMP/PKA-regulated pathways to the nuclear envelope in cardiac myocytes. The necessity of activated PKA in these complexes led to the hypothesis that AC is also anchored. The results indicate that AC does associate with yotiao in brain and heart, specifically with AC types I-III, and IX. Co-expression of AC II or III with yotiao leads to inhibition of each isoform's activity. Binding assays revealed that yotiao binds to the N-terminus of AC II and that this region can reverse the inhibition of AC II, but not AC III, indicating unique binding sites on yotiao. AC II binds directly to as 808-957 of yotiao. Y808-957 acts as a dominant negative as the addition of it to rat brain membranes results in a ∼40% increase in AC activity. Additionally, AC was also found to associate with mAKAP in heart, specifically with AC types II and V. The binding site of AC was mapped to 275-340 of mAKAP, while mAKAP binds to the soluble domains of AC V as a complex. These results indicate that interactions between AC and AKAPs are specific and that AC plays an important role in AKAP-targeted signaling. ^

Structure-function analysis of human Integrator subunit-4

Structure-function analysis of human Integrator subunit 4 Anupama Sataluri Advisor: Eric. J. Wagner, Ph.D. Uridine-rich small nuclear RNAs (U snRNA) are RNA Polymerase-II (RNAPII) transcripts that are ubiquitously expressed and are known to be essential for gene expression. snRNAs play a key role in mRNA splicing and in histone mRNA expression. Inaccurate snRNA biosynthesis can lead to diseases related to defective splicing and histone mRNA expression. Although the 3′ end formation mechanism and processing machinery of other RNAPII transcripts such as mRNA has been well studied, the mechanism of snRNA 3′ end processing has remained a mystery until the recent discovery of the machinery that mediates this process. In 2005, a complex of 14 subunits (the Integrator complex) associated with RNA Polymerase-II was discovered. The 14subunits were annotated Integrator 1-14 based on their size. The subunits of this complex together were found to facilitate 3′ end processing of snRNA. Identification of the Integrator complex propelled research in the direction of understanding the events of snRNA 3’end processing. Recent studies from our lab confirmed that Integrator subunit (IntS) 9 and 11 together perform the endonucleolytic cleavage of the nascent snRNA 3′ end to generate mature snRNA. However, the role of other members of the Integrator complex remains elusive. Current research in our lab is focused on deciphering the role of each subunit within the Integrator complex This work specifically focuses on elucidating the role of human Integrator subunit 4 (IntS4) and understanding how it facilitates the overall function of the complex. IntS4 has structural similarity with a protein called “Symplekin”, which is part of the mRNA 3’end processing machinery. Symplekin has been thoroughly researched in recent years and structure-function correlation studies in the context of mRNA 3’end processing have reported a scaffold function for Symplekin due to the presence of HEAT repeat motifs in its N-terminus. Based upon the structural similarity between IntS4 and Symplekin, we hypothesized that Integrator subunit 4 may be behaving as a Symplekin-like scaffold molecule that facilitates the interaction between other members of the Integrator Complex. To answer this question, the two important goals of this study were to: 1) identify the region of IntS4, which is important for snRNA 3′ end processing and 2) determine binding partners of IntS4 which promote its function as a scaffold. IntS4 structurally consists of a highly conserved N-terminus with 8 HEAT repeats, followed by a nonconserved C- terminus. A series of siRNA resistant N and C-terminus deletion constructs as well as specific point mutants within its N-terminal HEAT repeats were generated for human IntS4 and, utilizing a snRNA transcriptional readthrough GFP-reporter assay, we tested their ability to rescue misprocessing. This assay revealed a possible scaffold like property of IntS4. To probe IntS4 for interaction partners, we performed co-immunoprecipitation on nuclear extracts of IntS4 expressing stable cell lines and identified IntS3 and IntS5 among other Integrator subunits to be binding partners which facilitate the scaffold like function of hIntS4. These findings have established a critical role for IntS4 in snRNA 3′ end processing, identified that both its N and C termini are essential for its function, and mapped putative interaction domains with other Integrator subunits.

Mesozooplankton size data from the fjord branch Kapisigdlit located in the Godthaabsfjord system, West Greenland, 2010

Sampling was conducted from March 24 to August 5 2010, in the fjord branch Kapisigdlit located in the inner part of the Godthåbsfjord system, West Greenland. The vessel "Lille Masik" was used during all cruises except on June 17-18 where sampling was done from RV Dana (National Institute for Aquatic Resources, Denmark). A total of 15 cruises (of 1-2 days duration) 7-10 days apart was carried out along a transect composed of 6 stations (St.), spanning the length of the 26 km long fjord branch. St. 1 was located at the mouth of the fjord branch and St. 6 was located at the end of the fjord branch, in the middle of a shallower inner creek . St. 1-4 was covering deeper parts of the fjord, and St. 5 was located on the slope leading up to the shallow inner creek. Mesozooplankton was sampled by vertical net tows using a Hydrobios Multinet (type Mini) equipped with a flow meter and 50 µm mesh nets or a WP-2 net 50 µm mesh size equipped with a non-filtering cod-end. Sampling was conducted at various times of day at the different stations. The nets were hauled with a speed of 0.2-0.3 m s**-1 from 100, 75 and 50 m depth to the surface at St. 2 + 4, 5 and 6, respectively. The content was immediately preserved in buffered formalin (4% final concentration). All samples were analyzed in the Plankton sorting and identification center in Szczecin (www.nmfri.gdynia.pl). Samples containing high numbers of zooplankton were split into subsamples. All copepods and other zooplankton were identified down to lowest possible taxonomic level (approx. 400 per sample), length measured and counted. Copepods were sorted into development stages (nauplii stage 1 - copepodite stage 6) using morphological features and sizes, and up to 10 individuals of each stage was length measured.

Acerca de Roderer de Guillermo Martínez : el mysterium iniquitatis en el fin de siglo literario

Este estudio sobre Acerca de Roderer (1992) de Guillermo Martínez (Argentina, 1962) intenta señalar los principios constructivos de esta temprana producción novelística, a la luz de una posible poética espigada de sus ensayos, para dar cuenta de su estilo narrativo. Se destaca la relevancia del tema del misterio de iniquidad concretado como soberbia intelectual, en un espacio-tiempo de producción signado por la trivialidad. Esta nouvelle es una construcción alegórica que sustenta un mundo ficcional de líneas simples y armónicas, en las que la razón poética, desde una nueva sensibilidad, aporta nuevo significado al misterio a través de "revisitaciones" a los grandes textos literarios.

El misterio del ser en Alberto Magno, Super Dionysii Epistulas

El presente estudio aborda el misterio del ser en Alberto Magno Super Dionisii Epistulas y responde a la pregunta por el nexo entre el ser y los entes. Esta cuestión se torna misterio tan pronto que desde la «forma» de cada existente irrumpe aquel «esplendor» que el Doctor Universalis identifica -como otros autores antiguos- con el Espíritu Santo en cuanto «gloria». Este Espíritu Infinito y Creador no solo comunica el ser, llamándolo a la existencia a través de los entes, a modo del bonum, sino lo in-forma, es decir, les da a todos la «forma», al modo como Él mismo, siendo la «forma o cuasi-forma» en Dios, posibilita al Padre ser Padre y al Hijo ser Hijo. Tal in-formación, de modo semejante con mayor desemejanza, constituye el origen último y fundante de todo cuanto existe.

Mesozooplankton abundance data from the fjord branch Kapisigdlit located in the Godthaabsfjord system, West Greenland, 2010

Age determination of equatorial Pacific sediments

Radiocarbon age differences for pairs of coexisting late glacial age benthic and planktic foraminifera shells handpicked from 10 sediment samples from a core from a depth of 2.8 km in the western equatorial Pacific are not significantly different from that of 1600 years calculated from measurements on prenuclear seawater. This places a lower limit on the depth of the interface for the hypothetical radiocarbon-depleted glacial age seawater reservoir required to explain the 190 per mil drop in the 14C/C for atmospheric CO2, which occurred during the mystery interval (17.5 to 14.5 calendar years ago). These measurements restrict the volume of this reservoir to be no more than 35% that of the ocean. Further, 14C measurements on a single Last Glacial Maximum age sample from a central equatorial Pacific core from a depth of 4.4 km water fail to reveal evidence for the required 5- to 7-kyr age difference between benthic and planktic foraminifera shells if the isolated reservoir occupied only one third of the ocean. Nor does the 13C record for benthic forams from this abyssal core yield any evidence for the excess respiration CO2 expected to be produced during thousands of years of isolation. Nor, as indicated by the presence of benthic foraminifera, was the dissolved oxygen used up in this abyssal water.

Sobre la compatibilidad entre realismo y relativismo conceptual : Un exámen de la tesis de Putnam, desde un punto de vista lógico

Las indagaciones en la pregunta por lo que hay permiten distinguir a grandes rasgos entre dos enfoques: uno, el de los pensadores que entendieron que el tema a investigar era la naturaleza y estructura del mundo, y otro, el de aquellos quienes, al sostener que describir el mundo no es simplemente copiarlo, atendieron a lo que se llamó esquema conceptual: esto es, al marco conceptual cuya forma toman las descripciones del mundo. La situación se puede plantear como un dilema, ninguno de cuyos cuernos permite alentar esperanzas de avances bien fundados. O bien se pretende describir el mundo, tal como es, sin contemplar el hecho de que esa descripción incluye elecciones conceptuales propias de un sujeto, o bien se centra la investigación en los rasgos de el/los esquema/s conceptual/es imprescindibles para construir una descripción del mundo, imposibilitando, con ello, el acceso a la realidad tal como ésta es. En el siglo XX se cuenta con recursos de sistemas de lógica considerablemente más desarrollados y abarcadores (en sus posibilidades de aplicación) que los anteriores. Tales recursos brindan nuevas posibilidades de abordaje de la pregunta por lo que hay, no sólo por los ámbitos que se clarifican mediante ellos, sino también por el sustento que ofrecen para la reflexión filosófica los resultados obtenidos. Los avances producidos en el ámbito de la lógica en algo más de un siglo tuvieron variadas repercusiones en el enfoque y el tratamiento de distintas cuestiones filosóficas. Así, se ha echado mano a conceptos y recursos de lógica al considerar preguntas acerca de la estructura del mundo. Para la determinación de los componentes de la realidad se ha recurrido a la lógica, desde diversas posiciones filosóficas. Por ejemplo, se ha entendido que la lógica subyacente a la teoría científica brinda en algún sentido elementos para determinar la ontología (o para descartar la posibilidad de hacerlo, o para establecer qué función cumple la noción de ontología en la teoría científica). También, desde una óptica más amplia, se ha intentado mostrar que el uso del lenguaje tiene consecuencias respecto de la ontología. Hilary Putnam ha sugerido la posibilidad de ser al mismo tiempo un realista y un relativista conceptual. Involucra consideraciones como las mencionadas, respecto de lógica y ontología. Su objetivo es el intento de hacer justicia a la realidad y al misterio de nuestro mundo de sentido común. Tomo esta tesis como una propuesta de trabajo. Me interesa pensar en cómo ofrecer algunos elementos de juicio para evaluar sus alcances. Para ello, examino la sugerencia de Putnam mediante un ejemplo construido con ese objetivo. Entiendo que se requerirán, al menos, dos esquemas conceptuales diferentes: al que surgiría de la lógica de orden 1, tal como la desarrolla Quine, y al que podría obtenerse a partir de la teoría de objetos no existentes de Castañeda. Se contará así con elementos de juicio más precisos que los habituales para evaluar las consecuencias que se seguirían para la ontología en caso de sostener ambos esquemas conceptuales, en consonancia con la propuesta de Putnam que se ha tomado como objetivo general del proyecto

La "tercera línea" de liderazgo peronista en localidades "extracéntricas" de la provincia de Buenos Aires, 1945-1955

En este trabajo examinaremos la función mediadora de los líderes políticos locales en la construcción de los cimientos de la identificación con el peronismo bonaerense. Éstos, sin ser colaboradores directos de Perón, desempeñaron un rol fundamental a la hora de generarle fuerza política y prestigio al peronismo en localidades "extracéntricas", alejadas de los centros de poder e insertas en contextos rurales. ¿Es posible denominarlos como la "tercera línea" de liderazgo peronista? Para responder esta incógnita, exploraremos desde una perspectiva microanalítica las trayectorias y creciente participación en la esfera política de algunas figuras que les permitieron, en mayor o menor grado, convertirse en referentes políticos locales y constituir bases sociales. Nos preguntamos cuál era el fundamento de legitimidad de su poder y cuál era el margen de autonomía con el que contaban respecto a las instancias de poder provincial y nacional.
