Despite some methodological inexactness with regard to the structural relationship between race and class, Helwig’s argument, grounded in archival work and varied readings, raises important questions ...about the tentative possibilities of antebellum cross-racial solidarity. While Helwig integrates both antebellum and contemporary critiques of the reality of cross-racial solidarity in his study (84, 98, 153), his book falls on the optimistic side in its assessment of the extent of this solidarity. For the many questions it raises, Helwig’s book thus makes an important contribution to the study of antebellum American literature and will invite much follow-up research.
Instruments for distributed fiber‐optic measurement of temperature are now available with temperature resolution of 0.01°C and spatial resolution of 1 m with temporal resolution of fractions of a ...minute along standard fiber‐optic cables used for communication with lengths of up to 30,000 m. We discuss the spectrum of fiber‐optic tools that may be employed to make these measurements, illuminating the potential and limitations of these methods in hydrologic science. There are trade‐offs between precision in temperature, temporal resolution, and spatial resolution, following the square root of the number of measurements made; thus brief, short measurements are less precise than measurements taken over longer spans in time and space. Five illustrative applications demonstrate configurations where the distributed temperature sensing (DTS) approach could be used: (1) lake bottom temperatures using existing communication cables, (2) temperature profile with depth in a 1400 m deep decommissioned mine shaft, (3) air‐snow interface temperature profile above a snow‐covered glacier, (4) air‐water interfacial temperature in a lake, and (5) temperature distribution along a first‐order stream. In examples 3 and 4 it is shown that by winding the fiber around a cylinder, vertical spatial resolution of millimeters can be achieved. These tools may be of exceptional utility in observing a broad range of hydrologic processes, including evaporation, infiltration, limnology, and the local and overall energy budget spanning scales from 0.003 to 30,000 m. This range of scales corresponds well with many of the areas of greatest opportunity for discovery in hydrologic science.
Two undescribed polyketide‐type compounds, thalysiaketide A and thalysiaketide B were isolated from a sponge of marine origin Clathria (Thalysias) vulpina (Lamarck, 1814). Thalysiaketide A exhibited ...significantly greater inhibitory potential against inflammatory 5‐lipoxygenase (IC50 0.87 mM) and cyclooxygense‐2 (IC50 0.93 mM) compared to those displayed by its thalysiaketide B analog (IC50≥1.05 mM). The 5‐lipoxygenase inhibitory activity of thalysiaketide A was considerably superior to ibuprofen (standard, IC50>4 mM). Higher degree of polar belongings (topological polar surface area 93.06) in conjunction with relatively lower docking parameters of thalysiaketide A with the aminoacyl residues of cyclooxygense‐2 and 5‐lipoxygenase (docking score −12.99 and −12.27 kcal/mol, respectively) recognized its prospective anti‐inflammatory potential.
The Battle of Waterloo was just the beginning of a long transition to peace. Christine Haynes offers the first comprehensive history of the post-Napoleonic occupation of France. Transforming former ...European enemies into allies, the mission established Paris as a cosmopolitan capital and foreshadowed postwar reconstruction in the twentieth century.
As early as 1795, immediately after the death of the young Louis XVII in his Parisian prison, the comte de Provence, brother of the late Louis XVI who had been executed in 1793, was hoping the course ...of history would prove him right. He opted to call himself Louis XVIII, a title which was made official nineteen years later when he became king. Proclaimed in the Déclaration de Vérone on 8 June 1795, in the midst of the Revolution, such an act implied that the Revolution was not happening, had never happened, and would never happen again. Our paper explores this new and ambivalent kind of resilience by examining three decisive moments during the reigns of Louis XVI’s two brothers, Louis XVIII (1814-1824) and Charles X (1824-1830): the First Restoration and the Hundred Days, with their curious institutional novelties and changes of hands; the early Second Restoration, when the game between the old and the new world seemed on and then over; and the first years of Charles X’s reign, when the tensions returned with a vengeance, probably climaxing in 1825 with the Compensation Act, known as “le milliard des émigrés.”
I 1814 var gleda stor i Norge over at all sensur var avskaffa og trykkefridom garantert ved § 100 i Grunnlova: «Trykkefrihed bør finde Sted.» Men kor stor var den trykkefridommen Grunnlova innførte, ...og korleis vart den praktisert ved domstolane i åra etter 1814? I denne boka blir kjeldene som kan gi oss svaret på dette, for første gong grundig gjennomgått. Eit omfattande og hittil ubrukt kjeldemateriale gir oss eit nytt bilde av kvar grensene for trykkefridommen gjekk i første halvdel av 1800-talet, og korleis folk brukte den nye fridommen – på godt og vondt. Kjeldegjennomgangen fører òg fram til ei erkjenning av at den historiske og rettshistoriske faglitteraturen på området gjennom ei rekke følgjefeil har bygd resonnementa sine på sviktande kjeldegrunnlag. Åsmund Forfang (f. 1952) har tidlegare skrive dei historiske bøkene Hundre år med et smelteverk. En beretning om livet i Kopperå (2000) og Kvinnene i gruvesamfunnet Løkken Verk (2004), mentalitetshistorier frå to industrisamfunn på 1900-talet. Han er dessutan skjønnlitterær forfattar med debut i 1972 og siste utgiving, romanen Ikkje denne guten, i 2016.
