Quartic surfaces up to volume preserving equivalence

We study log Calabi--Yau pairs of the form $(\mathbb{P}^3,\Delta)$, where $\Delta$ is a quartic surface, and classify all such pairs of coregularity less than or equal to one, up to volume preserving equivalence. In particular, if $(\mathbb{P}^3,\Delta)$ is a maximal log Calabi--Yau pair then we show that it has a toric model.Comment: 21 page

Is there a male victim?: Discursive subjection in representations of female-on-male childhood sexual abuse

This thesis investigates established theoretical and embodied accounts of identities excluded within Western heteronormative society in order to seek out how those embodiments and theories may parallel what is contended that another impossible subject position -- the child male victim of adult female sexual violence

Senlis – Le Quartier Sainte-Anne, 10 rue Bellon

Localisée dans le centre historique de la ville de Senlis, la fouille du Quartier Sainte-Anne fait suite au diagnostic opéré par Louis Hugonnier (Inrap) en 2009, en préalable à un projet de logements sur parkings de la SCI Bellon. Le site est localisé à l’est de l’urbs, au-delà de l’enceinte romaine, mais dans l’enceinte du xiiie s. La fouille a révélé une forte densité de vestiges également répartis sur l’ensemble des 1 120 m2, depuis l’Antiquité jusqu’aux Temps Modernes. L’emprise du projet..

Federal Judges and Presidential Power: Truman to Reagan

While there is a considerable literature consisting of commentaries on the substance of federal court decisions about presidential power, there has been little quantitative investigation of political factors influencing judicial decision-making in those cases. Analyzing the votes cast by judges at all levels of the federal judiciary during the post-World War II era, this study examines several conventional expectations about the impact of such political factors as political party affiliation and presidential appointment, the difference between the foreign and military affairs and domestic policy areas, length of judicial tenure, and judges\u27 possession of prior legislative or executive experience

Functionalization of Bacterial Microcompartment Shell Proteins With Covalently Attached Heme.

Heme is a versatile redox cofactor that has considerable potential for synthetic biology and bioelectronic applications. The capacity to functionalize non-heme-binding proteins with covalently bound heme moieties in vivo could expand the variety of bioelectronic materials, particularly if hemes could be attached at defined locations so as to facilitate position-sensitive processes like electron transfer. In this study, we utilized the cytochrome maturation system I to develop a simple approach that enables incorporation of hemes into the backbone of target proteins in vivo. We tested our methodology by targeting the self-assembling bacterial microcompartment shell proteins, and inserting functional hemes at multiple locations in the protein backbone. We found substitution of three amino acids on the target proteins promoted heme attachment with high occupancy. Spectroscopic measurements suggested these modified proteins covalently bind low-spin hemes, with relative low redox midpoint potentials (about -210 mV vs. SHE). Heme-modified shell proteins partially retained their self-assembly properties, including the capacity to hexamerize, and form inter-hexamer attachments. Heme-bound shell proteins demonstrated the capacity to integrate into higher-order shell assemblies, however, the structural features of these macromolecular complexes was sometimes altered. Altogether, we report a versatile strategy for generating electron-conductive cytochromes from structurally-defined proteins, and provide design considerations on how heme incorporation may interface with native assembly properties in engineered proteins
