Князь Владимир Федорович Одоевский — визионер contemporary art

The author examines the work of the famous writer and inventor, statesman and philanthropist of the XIX century Vladimir Fedorovich Odoevsky in the light of the addition of a new type of personality of the researcher and Herald of the modern artist. Odoevsky belonged to the kind of Desk scientist. He turned his homes into laboratories where various experiments were performed (from anatomical, electrical to culinary). Contemporaries called him “Russian Faust”. The life of a recluse was combined in him with an extraordinary breadth of interests and an all-embracing knowledge. In his experiments, he sought to overcome the isolation of various Sciences and arts and restore the rights of a single Universe of knowledge about the world. This article is the first attempt to bring this strategy closer to the world of Renaissance researchers and artists on the scale of Leonardo da Vinci, on the one hand, and to the metamodern themes of transparent borders and hybrid understanding of the Sciences and arts in modern times. The platform for the synthesis of sciences and arts in Odoevsky’s world, of course, was literature. Based on the interpretation of his philosophical works, science fiction novels and short stories, the author concludes that the “instinctual” knowledge extolled by Odoevsky is close to the ideas of the Surrealists (Andre Breton, Jan Schwankmayer). And the universe created inside the study silence anticipates the images of a strange collector of knowledge, the Creator of installations on poetic and scientific themes in shadow-boxes by Joseph Cornell. Locked in the walls of the study, like a “town in a snuffbox” (the name of the Prince’s most famous novel), the philosophical art world of V. F. Odoevsky is endowed with the power of prophecy and inquiry about many subsequent discoveries in science, art, and society. As a modern artist, Prince Odoevsky does not give ready-made recipes and systematic explanations of the laws of life, but forces the interlocutor (reader-viewer) to be a co-Creator and take responsibility for the intellectual solution of the situations and incidents presented by the author. At the end of the article, we offer a brief overview of the exhibition held in the Museum of Moscow in 2019 (‘Cosmorama XVIII’), in which the life and art (the art of life) of Prince Vladimir Odoevsky entered into a dialogue with the works of contemporary artists.Автор рассматривает творчество известного писателя и изобретателя, государственного деятеля и филантропа XIX столетия Владимира Федоровича Одоевского в свете формирования нового типа личности исследователя и провозвестника современного художника. Одоевский принадлежал к типу кабинетных ученых. Свои дома он превращал в лаборатории, где ставились разные опыты (от анатомических, электрических до кулинарных). Современники прозвали его «русским Фаустом». Жизнь затворника сочеталась в нем с необыкновенной широтой интересов и всеохватностью знаний. В своих опытах он стремился преодолеть изоляцию разных наук и искусств и восстановить в правах единый Универсум знаний о мире. В статье впервые делаются попытки сблизить эту стратегию, с одной стороны, с миром ренессансных исследователей и художников масштаба Леонардо да Винчи, с другой, — с метамодернистскими темами прозрачных границ и гибридного понимания наук и художеств сегодня. Платформой синтеза наук и искусств в мире Одоевского, конечно, являлась литература. На основе интерпретации его философских сочинений, фантастических романов и новелл автор делает вывод о близости превозносимого Одоевским «инстинктуального» знания идеям сюрреалистов (Андре Бретона, Яна Шванкмайера).

Запертый в стенах кабинета, словно «городок в табакерке» (название самой известной новеллы князя), философский художественный мир В. Ф. Одоевского наделен силой пророчества и дознания о многих случившихся впоследствии открытиях в науке, искусстве, социуме.

Case Report of Undifferentiated Endometrial Sarcoma in Association with Osteoclast-Like Giant Cells

We describe the clinical, gross and microscopic features of undifferentiated uterine stromal sarcoma associated with osteoclast-like giant cells. A case of low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma is already described in association with osteoclast-like giant cells; however, the current case differs in that the tumor was a high grade and did not show any evidence of smooth muscle or epithelioid differentiation and was shown to be strongly positive for CD10 and focally for WT-1 and Inhibin supporting an endometrial stromal origin. The associated osteoclast-like giant cells were abundant, evenly distributed within the tumor and showed strong positivity for CD68. Interestingly, rare (less than 2%) giant cells also showed weak cytoplasmic positivity for b-hCG. The tumor infiltrated deep into the myometrium and had marked lymphovascular invasion. Although the regional lymph nodes and peritoneal washings were negative, the lesion showed a highly aggressive clinical course. Despite treatment, the tumor disseminated within the abdominal cavity and lungs and ultimately led to the patient's demise within 9 months of the diagnosis

Knowledge monitoring algorithm development for universities, using proctoring tools, for a group of students

This article is devoted to the issues associated with the organization and implementation of a reliable monitoring of students' knowledge in a higher education institution in the context of a challenging epidemiological situation in the world and a forced full-scale educational process transfer to an electronic implementation format. In early 2020, higher education institutions were not ready to switch over to a distance work format. Educational organizations encountered a huge list of problems affecting literally every single element of the educational process. The most strongly this transition affected the students' knowledge monitoring process. At that time, universities had neither regulatory, nor methodological information base that could become a basis for developing individual approaches to solving the problem of knowledge monitoring process organization, using information technologies; the experience in arranging training sessions, accumulated by institutions over the past six months, gives the advantage. However, it’s important to understand that it’s impossible to control students' knowledge en-masse in approximately the same time interval without appropriate software and an established performance algorithm & implementation procedure

Observation of band structure and density of states effects in Co-based magnetic tunnel junctions

Utilizing Co/Al$_2$O$_3$/Co magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with Co electrodes of different crystalline phases, a clear relationship between electrode structure and junction transport properties is presented. For junctions with one fcc(111) textured and one polycrystalline (poly-phase and poly-directional) Co electrode, a strong asymmetry is observed in the magnetotransport properties, while when both electrodes are polycrystalline the magnetotransport is essentially symmetric. These observations are successfully explained within a model based on ballistic tunneling between the calculated band structures (DOS) of fcc-Co and hcp-Co.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Phys.

Heavy Quarks and Heavy Quarkonia as Tests of Thermalization

We present here a brief summary of new results on heavy quarks and heavy quarkonia from the PHENIX experiment as presented at the "Quark Gluon Plasma Thermalization" Workshop in Vienna, Austria in August 2005, directly following the International Quark Matter Conference in Hungary.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, Quark Gluon Plasma Thermalization Workshop (Vienna August 2005) Proceeding

Production of phi mesons at mid-rapidity in sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC

We present the first results of meson production in the K^+K^- decay channel from Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV as measured at mid-rapidity by the PHENIX detector at RHIC. Precision resonance centroid and width values are extracted as a function of collision centrality. No significant variation from the PDG accepted values is observed. The transverse mass spectra are fitted with a linear exponential function for which the derived inverse slope parameter is seen to be constant as a function of centrality. These data are also fitted by a hydrodynamic model with the result that the freeze-out temperature and the expansion velocity values are consistent with the values previously derived from fitting single hadron inclusive data. As a function of transverse momentum the collisions scaled peripheral.to.central yield ratio RCP for the is comparable to that of pions rather than that of protons. This result lends support to theoretical models which distinguish between baryons and mesons instead of particle mass for explaining the anomalous proton yield.Comment: 326 authors, 24 pages text, 23 figures, 6 tables, RevTeX 4.

Centrality Dependence of the High p_T Charged Hadron Suppression in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 130 GeV

PHENIX has measured the centrality dependence of charged hadron p_T spectra from central Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=130 GeV. The truncated mean p_T decreases with centrality for p_T > 2 GeV/c, indicating an apparent reduction of the contribution from hard scattering to high p_T hadron production. For central collisions the yield at high p_T is shown to be suppressed compared to binary nucleon-nucleon collision scaling of p+p data. This suppression is monotonically increasing with centrality, but most of the change occurs below 30% centrality, i.e. for collisions with less than about 140 participating nucleons. The observed p_T and centrality dependence is consistent with the particle production predicted by models including hard scattering and subsequent energy loss of the scattered partons in the dense matter created in the collisions.Comment: 7 pages text, LaTeX, 6 figures, 2 tables, 307 authors, resubmitted to Phys.
