In it, I study the hagiographies written about the royal female saints of Ely by the Flemish monk Goscelin of Saint-Bertin in the late eleventh century as a form of postcolonial literature and memory creation. Goscelin was a renowned writer of Anglo-Saxon saints’ lives. Through his hagiographies he not only created images of England’s Christian past that emphasized its pious, sophisticated rulers and close ties to the papacy, he engaged in political commentary and criticism.

  • The Functions of HSP70 in Normal Cells
    Chapter 1 A General Description of HSPs, The Molecular Structure of HSP70 and The HSP70 Cycle Abstract Fifty years ago the accidental switch of a temperature knob on the incubator where Ferruccio Ritossa kept his fruit flies started a new era, the epoch of heat shock proteins (HSP). In 1986 H. Pelham was the first to suggest that HSPs bind to denatured protein aggregates, thereby restricting their aggregation and breaking them by using ATP as an energy source. Among all HSPs, the protein with a molecu- lar weight of 70 kDa was found to be the most common, drew the most attention and is consequently the HSP we know the most about. HSP70 contains three domains: the ATPase N-domain which hydrolyzes ATP; the substrate domain which binds pro- teins, and the C-domain that forms the “lid” for the substrate domain. Because of its three-domain structure, HSP70 forms a unified ATPase cycle coupled with connec- tion and disconnection of the client protein. The “team” of HSP70 cycle regulators includes HSP40, which delivers clients to HSP70 and stimulates ATP hydrolysis; Hip, which assists HSP70 in retaining the client, and Bag-1 and HspBP1, which accelerate the dissociation of ADP and the release of the client protein. Keywords HSP70 • Hip • Bag-1 • HspBP1 • The HSP70 cycle In this first chapter, I will begin by telling you the amazing story about how heat shock proteins (HSPs) were discovered, their general characteristics, molecular structure and their functional cycle. 1.1 About the Discovery of HSP, or How Drosophila Melanogaster was Accidentally “Heated” The name itself—“heat shock proteins”—results from the simple fact that HSPs were first discovered in cells exposed to elevated temperatures.

  • The Cult of St Æthelwold and Its Context, C. 984 - C
    The Cult of St Æthelwold and its Context, c. 984 - c. 1400 Rebecca Browett Institute of Historical Research School of Advanced Study, University of London A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Ph.D in History September 2016 1 Declaration This thesis is submitted to the University of London in support of my application for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. I, Rebecca Browett, hereby confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own, carried out during the course of my studies. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the consent of the author. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis documents the cult of St Æthelwold, a tenth-century bishop of Winchester, from its inception (c. 984) until the late Middle Ages. During his life, Æthelwold was an authoritative figure who reformed monasteries in southern England. Those communities subsequently venerated him as a saint and this thesis examines his cult at those centres. In particular, it studies how his cult enabled monasteries to forge their identities and to protect their rights from avaricious bishops. It analyses the changing levels of veneration accorded to Æthelwold over a five hundred year period and compares this with other well-known saints’ cults. It uses diverse evidence from hagiographies, chronicles, chartularies, poems, church dedications, wall paintings, and architecture. Very few studies have attempted to chart the development of an early English saint's cult over such a long time period, and my multidisciplinary approach, using history, art, and literary studies, offers insight into the changing role of native saints in the English church and society over the course of the Middle Ages.

    COMMENT 1826 and acquired international renown. It attracted students from all over Europe and earned Liebig a reputation as a ‘chemist breeder’. His lab was an early example of the research and teaching establishments that SOURCE: LMB ARCHIVE LMB SOURCE: made the German universities the envy of many. It began as a single room, with a fire in the middle surrounded by work benches. Liebig’s work on the compositions of chemical substances and their reactions was outstand- ing, and his focus on agricultural, industrial and biological issues gave his research a highly topical flavour. He trained his protégés carefully, espe- cially in qualitative analysis. Students flocked to him, with the result that European chem- istry during the middle of the nineteenth century bore a distinctly Liebigian flavour as his students moved to influential positions elsewhere. The identification of state-of-the- art problems and the training of students to solve them characterize his achievements. Liebig’s initiative was widely adapted in the natural and biomedical sciences throughout Max Perutz, James Watson, John Kendrew and Francis Crick talk to a BBC presenter (centre) about the German university system. their Nobel prizes in 1962. Training was also part of the brief of physiologist Ivan Pavlov (1849–1936), but he brought his own organizational genius to bear on the ‘physiology factory’ that he masterminded in St Petersburg, Russia, What makes famously studying dogs.
