By Carol Skalnik Leff 141 Contributors 143 Advice to Prospective Authors 145 iv From the Editor Hugh L. Agnew The year 2018 was marked in various parts of the world, including Central and Eastern Europe, by anniversary celebrations of various events, most significantly the 1918-2018 centenary of the ending (supposedly) of World War I. For the Czechs and Slovaks, the one hundredth anniversary was by no means the only “round” anniversary that was marked: looking back into the past there were 1618, 1648, 1848, 1938, 1948, and of course 1968. There were even remembrances of 1988, the first legally authorized demonstration in communist-run Czechoslovakia in many years and in some way a harbinger of the great changes of 1989. This volume reflects that interest in “round anniversaries” and the related issues of remembrance and commemoration that anniversary celebrations bring with them. We open this issue, New Series, Volume 1, number 2, with an article by frequent Kosmas contributor Zdeněk David, in which he explores Masaryk’s ideas on “globalization” during the wartime and postwar years, revolving around the major 1918 pivot. James W. Peterson considers the twofold remembrances of 1918 anniveraries, the declaration of Czechoslovak independence on October 28, 1918, and the coming into effect of the armistice on the Western Front on November 11, 1918 of the same year. He explores the ways in which these two anniversaries were evoked and remembered in the arts, especially music and poetry, in the years succeeding 1918, ending with some consideration of their contemporary commemoration. We move to a different set of remembrances with the article by Jana Pátková, exploring the themes of the Holocaust (Shoah in Hebrew, Porajmos in Romani) in Slovak literature. She shows the ways in which these themes have emerged out of relative silence in postwar Slovak literature to a new appreciation in works appearing since the change of regime and Slovak independence. World War II remembrance among the Czechs, including the Holocaust, but also involving related matters such as the Heydrichiáda or the grim history of the Petschek Palace, provides the subject of an essay by Ben Fox. Finally, the 1968 anniversary gives the context for the article by Marty Manor Mullins on the reactions of workers in East Slovkia’s Košice to the Warsaw Pact invasion that ended the experiment in “Socialism with a human face.” Using previously untapped archival material and including some never-before published photos, Mullins provides a fascinating look at the reform movement seen from the periphery. The same theme, 1968, from the perspective of the Czech and Slovak émigré community (along with other Americans of Czech and Slovak descent) is the subject of Mary Hrabík Šámal’s article on the actions of Cleveland’s Czech and Slovak communities in response to the Soviet-led invasion of their homeland. In it she draws on the private papers of Martin Hrabík, portions of whose memoirs were published in the previous volume of Kosmas. In addition to the articles and essay, Miloslav Rechcigl, Jr., continues his compilation of genealogical research reference materials, this time with an exploration of the Nobel Prize winners (and some who did not win) who were of Czech or Slovak origin or had other ties to the Czech and Slovak territories. This v issue also brings reviews of four recent books, two of which also directly deal with the issues of memory and remembrance. One of these is the memoir of Milan J. Kubic, reviewed by Miloslav Rechcigl, and one another account of her life experiences by Heda Margolius Kovály, supplementing her earlier Under a Cruel Star, reviewed by Mary Hrabík Šámal. Martin Nekola’s concise introduction to Czech Chicago is reviewed by David Chroust, and finally Daniel Miller’s exploration of the influence of former president Václav Klaus on Czech attitudes to Europe is reviewed by Carol Skalnik Leff. Meanwhile, the first number of New Series, Volume 2, is being prepared, and it will maintain the “round anniversary” theme, with its contents devoted to papers from a conference sponsored by the Wilsonian Club of Washington, DC and the Washington, DC branch of the SVU last spring marking the centennial of the ending of World War I. Please make a note to watch for what promises to be a rich and provocative collection of presentations! vi ARTICLES Masaryk’s Philosophical and Political Globalism Zdenĕk V. David Masaryk embraced the vision of a united mankind from early in his career as a philosopher. He based the idea of global unity on the philosophical concept of a single humanity, as also exemplified by the Czech national tradition, which derived from the Bohemian Reformation. He saw an encouraging quantum leap toward world unification in the revolution of the massive spread of democracy that resulted from World War I. Genesis of Cultural and Political Cosmopolitanism Masaryk’s cultural cosmopolitanism had its roots in the ancient classics. Jaroslav Opat traced the origins to Masaryk’s special interest in Plato (see also Chapter 5). His doctoral dissertation of 1875 was on “Das Werden der Seele bei Plato” (The Being of the Soul in Plato), soon followed by a study of “Plato as a Patriot.”1 Masaryk outlined his belief in the coming unification of mankind in 1877 in his article “O pokroku, vývoji a osvětě” [On Progress, Development, and Enlightenment].2 The concept of the general progress of humanity began its evolution thanks to the rise of Christianity, which taught that all people form a single whole without distinction of nationalities, and that all human beings are brethren. According to young Masaryk, the idea of cosmopolitanism, and with it, the idea of progress of the entirety of mankind, could only evolve gradually. Yet Christianity, being cosmopolitan, greatly contributed to the rapprochement

Built in 1944, the monument initially represented the memory of the victims of the Lidice Massacre in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia while simultaneously symbolizing the patriotic efforts of the Phillips community during World War II. After the memorial’s rededication in 1984 the meaning of the monument to the community shifted. While still commemorating Lidice, the annual commemorations gave rise to the Phillips Czechoslovakian Community Festival held each year. The memorial became a site of cultural identity for the Phillips community and is

  • Refinement of Protein Conformations Using a Macromolecular Energy Minimization Procedure
    J. Mol. Biol. (1969) 46, 269-279 Refinement of Protein Conformations using a Macromolecular Energy Minimization Procedure MICHAEL LEVITT AND SHNEIOR LIFSON Weixmann Institute of Science Rehovot, Israel (Received 3 December 1968, and in revised form 29 July, 1969) This paper presents a rapid refinement procedure capable of deriving the stable conformation of a macromolecule from experimental model co-ordinates. All the degrees of freedom of the molecule are allowed to vary and all parts of the structure are refined simultaneously in a general force-field. The procedure has been applied to myoglobin and lysozyme. The deviations of peptide bonds from planar conformation and of various bond angles from their respective average values are found to contribute significantly to the retied protein conformation. Hydrogen atoms are not included in the present refinement. A set of non-bonded potential functions, applicable to the equilibrium of a folded protein in an aqueous medium, is described and tested on myoglobin. 1. Introduction The Cartesian co-ordinates of a protein molecule have been obtained from measure- ments on a rigid wire model, built according to electron density maps derived from X-ray diffraction measurements. The errors inherent in measuring a mechanical model give rise to highly strained bond lengths and angles. Much of this strain can be relieved without affecting the relative orientation of parts of the molecule. Diamond (1966) proposed a co-ordinate refinement procedure which varied certain dihedral and bond angles to give the best fit to the rough measured co-ordinates. The fixed bond lengths and angles of each amino acid residue were obtained from crystallographic studies of small molecules.

Personal Statement I pioneered of computational biology setting up the conceptual and theoretical framework for a field that I am still actively involved in at all levels. More specifically, I still write and maintain computer programs of all types including large simulation packages and molecular graphics interfaces. I have also developed a high-level of expertise in Perl scripting, as well as in the advanced use of the Office Suite of programs (Word, Excel and PowerPoint), which is more important and rare than it may seem. My research focuses on three different but inter-related areas of research. First, we are interested in predicting the folding of a polypeptide chain into a protein with a unique native-structure with particular emphasis on how the hydrophobic forces affect the pathway. We expect hydrophobic interactions to energetically favor structure that are more native-like.

    1 The War and its Legacy Conquest and Occupation Between 1939 and 1942 most of Europe was united under German domination. At its greatest extent the territory occupied by Germany and its allies stretched from the Caucasus to the Atlantic coast of France, and from Greece to Norway (see Map 1.1). In addition to Britain and the USSR, only a small number of neutral states retained some degree of independence. Having rapidly overrun Poland and western Europe in 1939–40, Hitler took his greatest gamble by invading the Soviet Union in June 1941 (“Operation Barbarossa”) while leaving an undefeated Britain in the rear. Although the Soviet resistance stiffened as German troops approached Moscow, vast tracts of territory and more than 3 million Red Army soldiers were lost in the first six months of combat on the Eastern Front. By September 1942, after a further successful campaigning summer, German forces stood on the Volga at Stalingrad, some 2,000 kilometers from Berlin. What was the nature of this new German empire? According to Nazi rhetoric this was a “New Order,” a hierarchy within which non-Germans would have their designated part to play. The “Germanic” peoples, such as the Dutch and Norwegians, might eventually be absorbed into the Reich, whereas the fate of the Slavs of eastern Europe would be resettlement and enslavement. Yet while there were those in the more privileged groups eager to collaborate on such terms (see below), HitlerCOPYRIGHTED had no intention of sharing power MATERIAL with them. The New Order enshrined Germany’s domination of Europe, and its true nature was one of economic exploitation, political oppression, and increasingly severe racial persecution.

It punctured the body and blew open the right door, but seemingly did nothing else Assassination book. Watch a recreation of the Reinhard Heydrich assassination attempt. The May 27, assassination attempt left Reinhard Heydrich with critical but seemingly survivable injuries. The projectile, a piece of sheet metal, shattered the 11th rib, punctured the stomach lining, and finally lodged in the spleen. The wound contains a number of horsehair and hair, probably material originating from the upholstery. The dangers: festering of the pleura due to pleurisy. During the operation the spleen was removed. All seven paratroopers involved in carrying out the May 27, assassination eventually sought refuge in the Orthodox Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius also known as the Karel Boromejsky Church on Resslova Street in Prague. The true story reveals that they hid in the church until the morning of June 18, , when SS forces had the building surrounded and began searching its grounds. He broke after they showed him his mother's head floating in a fish tank. A false lead had led the Nazis to believe that two Czech pilots from Lidice had been involved in the assassination of Heydrich. Even after learning the truth, the fate of Lidice had been decided. All men between ages 15 and 84 were executed total.
