For centuries antiquarians and archaeologists have tried to reconcile the terminology of ancient writers on architecture, such as Vitruvius, with the perceived realities of the material record. One particular issue of debate concerns the interpretation of different words for "brick" in Latin. In this paper it is argued that earlier attempts to settle this question are unsatisfactory and leave seve

This paper examines situations in which people restrict themselves in order to control their online searching and how this is negotiated. It is framed in a sociomaterial perspective taking account of the entanglement of information technology with its users and the conditions of its use. It contributes to a conceptual discussion of the sociomaterial shaping of the informational texture of issues a

The chapter investigates how one specific collaboration between a fashion conglomerate (Louis Vuitton) and a contemporary artist (Takashi Murakami) exemplifies a wider phenomenon of the ways in which brands curate artists to fit their own needs. Central to the chapter is the discussion about why and to what ends curation of art has become important for fashion brands in their branding efforts.

The volume is an introduction to the study of ancient marbles collected by Swedish royalty up to the turn of the 18th century. In 1794, two years after the death of King Gustav III, main collector of the preserved marbles, a selected part of the sculptures were put to display in public museum. The main themes treated are as follows: the history of collecting, the function and agencies of the Roman

In Truffaut's film Fahrenheit 451 there is a scene showing some people learning to recite the great classics by heart - this is an image of the use of literary criticism - it is an undertaking necessary to preserve, interprete and evaluate literature - writing becomes language first when it is read.This is the use of the not useful.

Simultaneous OH-, fuel- planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) and particle image velocimetry (PIV)measurements were performed in turbulent low-swirl stratified premixed flames. The combined PIV/PLIF images revealed e.g. the fuel distribution, entrainment of ambient air, mixing with the air/fuel stream and the resulting stratification in the trailing edge of the flame. Flame-flow interaction was

Tapasin (tpn), an essential component of the MHC class I (MHC I) loading complex, has a canonical double lysine motif acting as a retrieval signal, which mediates retrograde transport of escaped endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins from the Golgi back to the ER. In this study, we mutated tpn with a substitution of the double lysine motif to double alanine (GFP-tpn-aa). This mutation abolished inter
