Presentations by established scientists and young investigators. In the face of a tremendously increased interest in MiP2005, the max. number of participants was increased from 100 to 160. Irrespectively, the number of oral presentations remains limited to provide time for discussions. The 3rd MiP Conference was held in 2003 (Schröcken, Austria), at which occasion the MiP Society was formed. With your on-line registration, you may choose to become a member of the MiP Society: www.mitophysiology.org Mitochondrial Physiology – MiP2005 www.mitophyisology.org 3 Mitochondrial Physiology MiP Society Continuing a tradition of rigorous mitochondrial bioenergetics Integrating molecular, cellular and organismic physiology and pathology Mitochondrial Physiology www.mitophysiology.org The Mitochondrial Physiology Socienty has been founded in 2003, to organize MiP Conferences and MiP Workshops. These “MiP Events” focus on common and cell-specific functions of mitochondria at molecular, organelle, cellular, tissue and organ levels. Thus we meet the increasing demands for integrating current developments in the methodologically and conceptually complex field of mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial research has recently undergone a dramatic renaissance, due to a whole series of discoveries revealing its central roles in cell death, disease pathology, aging, thermogenesis, oxidative stress, cell signalling, cellular regulation and cell bioenergetics. Functional genomics and proteomics is putting an urgent emphasis on integrative understanding of the link between genes/molecules and cellular/organisms functions. Because these topics require continuous technical advances there will also be an emphasis on new methodological developments, quantitative methods of analysis in mitochondrial research including mathematical modeling, proteomics and the use of tools for measuring multiple parameters in an experiment. This multidisciplinary approach requires a new forum for high-level training courses, bringing together scientists working in divergent disciplines, to talk together about mitochondrial function and dysfunction, to resolve differences, to develop research agendas, to spread new knowledge and techniques, and to develop collaborations. Until recently, mitochondrial respiratory function was mainly studied in research laboratories specializing on the bioenergetics of isolated mitochondria and bacteria, energy transformation in transmembrane gradients and characterization of the various complexes of the respiratory chain. Today these methods and concepts are expanded to applications on intact or permeablized cells and tissue preparations, and are widely used by groups with different research and clinical orientation, particularly in molecular cell signalling. The series of MiP Events will help to provide the expertise necessary for successful application of the techniques and concepts on mitochondrial bioenergetics in the wider context of molecular and cell biology, exercise physiology, diagnosis of mitochondrial diseases, and evaluation of mitochondrial function in oxidative stress, ischemia-reperfusion, aging and numerous areas (such as apoptosis) of key-involvement of mitochondria.

  • The Ouroboros Model, Proposal for Self-Organizing General Cognition Substantiated
    Opinion The Ouroboros Model, Proposal for Self-Organizing General Cognition Substantiated Knud Thomsen Paul Scherrer Institut, 5232 Villigen-PSI, Switzerland; [email protected] Abstract: The Ouroboros Model has been proposed as a biologically-inspired comprehensive cog- nitive architecture for general intelligence, comprising natural and artificial manifestations. The approach addresses very diverse fundamental desiderata of research in natural cognition and also artificial intelligence, AI. Here, it is described how the postulated structures have met with supportive evidence over recent years. The associated hypothesized processes could remedy pressing problems plaguing many, and even the most powerful current implementations of AI, including in particular deep neural networks. Some selected recent findings from very different fields are summoned, which illustrate the status and substantiate the proposal.

  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

  • Evidence of Long-Term Gene Flow and Selection During Domestication from Analyses of Eurasian Wild and Domestic Pig Genomes
    ARTICLES Evidence of long-term gene flow and selection during domestication from analyses of Eurasian wild and domestic pig genomes Laurent A F Frantz1,2, Joshua G Schraiber3,4, Ole Madsen1, Hendrik-Jan Megens1, Alex Cagan5, Mirte Bosse1, Yogesh Paudel1, Richard P M A Crooijmans1, Greger Larson2 & Martien A M Groenen1 Traditionally, the process of domestication is assumed to be initiated by humans, involve few individuals and rely on reproductive isolation between wild and domestic forms. We analyzed pig domestication using over 100 genome sequences and tested whether pig domestication followed a traditional linear model or a more complex, reticulate model. We found that the assumptions of traditional models, such as reproductive isolation and strong domestication bottlenecks, are incompatible with the genetic data. In addition, our results show that, despite gene flow, the genomes of domestic pigs have strong signatures of selection at loci that affect behavior and morphology. We argue that recurrent selection for domestic traits likely counteracted the homogenizing effect of gene flow from wild boars and created ‘islands of domestication’ in the genome. Our results have major ramifications for the understanding of animal domestication and suggest that future studies should employ models that do not assume reproductive isolation.

    A Clear Day and No Memories On Kerry Tribe’s HM by Matthew Goulish Enacting Pasts & Presents in Philosophy & Performance Panel of the Performance & Philosophy working group Performance Studies international conference #17: Camillo 2.0. Technology, Memory, Experience Utrecht, 2011 – 1 – In order to begin I must tell a horror story. I will try to mitigate, not minimize, the horror, through accuracy of telling, through facts, and a degree of humility before them. Yet I will also acknowledge the horror. I mean I already have. I say “yet” because horror is not fact, but subjective response to fact. Maybe philosophy has a tradition of such beginning – the telling of the horror if not the acknowledgement. Some forms of understanding issue only from destruction’s revelation. Neurology’s grasp of general brain function, of memory, has advanced through episodes of particular catastrophic failures of individual brains. I mean a self- correction of consciousness arose from a fresh understanding of what memory claims as its own. Anyway that is the story’s redemptive hope. It seems a small hope to take away from the destruction of a life, or a large part of it. But that hope arrived by accident, as well as from an accident. If a way exists to soften the blows that commence in 1935, when a bicyclist collides with 9-year-old Henry who falls and hits his head in Manchester, Connecticut, that way is unknown to me, unknown and undesirable. – 2 – Manchester is in Hartford County, was part of Hartford from its settlement in 1672 until 1783, when East Hartford separated, including Manchester.

  • Hippocampus Kuda Proving… the Homoeopathic Story of the Hippocampus by Shukla Chetna, 1996, India
    The Hippocampus kuda proving… The Homoeopathic Story Of The Hippocampus by Shukla Chetna, 1996, India It was a unique experience for me to experience the behavior/disposition of the Hippocampus fish (the Sea-horse) through this proving done in 1996. I never planned it like that, it just happened. In this experience one objection can be raised that the provers never took the dose orally. This exercise was done to verify aphorism 284 of the Organon Of Medicine, 6 th edition… §284 “Besides the tongue, mouth and stomach, which are most commonly affected by the administration of medicine, the nose and the respiratory organs are receptive of the action of the medicines in fluid form by means of olfaction and inhalation through mouth. But the whole remaining skin of the body clothed with the epidermis, is adapted to the action of medicinal solutions, especially if the inunction is connected with the simultaneous internal administration .” What are important in any proving is the sensitivity and the inherent capacity of the provers to feel the substance in their being and their ability to express the same. As I understand nothing happens without a cause, and I feel and therefore say that the participants were destined to experience this energy in their being and their contribution of this experience must not be underestimated for want of logic. Two things are needed according to the aphorism 284, one the contact with the skin and the simultaneous internal administration. In this experimenting with the energy of Sea horse the contact with the epidermis happened during the transferring of the contents of the medicine from one vial to the other.

I would like to thank all those individuals who give of their time and efforts in the service of heraldry for the Kingdom of Calontir and the Society. Whether it’s through an aspect of vocal heraldry (making event announcements, handling camp cries, doing court); field heraldry (calling rounds, directing participants, announcing winners); pageantry (presenting combatants & consorts, helping with display, holding heraldic competitions); book heraldry (creating devices, documenting names, running consulting tables, providing commentary); ceremonial & protocol heraldry (researching period grants, writing scroll text, keeping an Order of Precedence); silent heraldry (assisting those with hearing impairments) or through support of those involved in an aspect of heraldry…the kingdom would not run as smoothly without your endeavors This is the third edition of the Calontir Herald’s Handbook published for both heralds within the kingdom and other individuals interested in the various aspects that the art and science of heraldry takes within the SCA and in Calontir specifically. We hope that all will find this publication to be a valuable resource. As the SCA’s knowledge of heraldry continues to develop there come changes to the standards and policies that heralds need to be aware of. Readers of this handbook will note some changes from previous editions, so whether you are new to heraldry, or are a more experienced herald, please take the time to read through the handbook to acquaint yourself with the material that it contains.
