It originated as a topic in algebraic topology, but nowadays is learned as an independent discipline. Applications to other fields of mathematics. Besides algebraic topology, the theory has also been used in other areas of mathematics such as: Concepts. Spaces and maps. In homotopy theory and algebraic topology, the word \"space\" denotes a topological space. In order to avoid pathologies, one rarely works with arbitrary spaces; instead, one requires spaces to meet extra constraints, such as being compactly generated weak Hausdorff or a CW complex. In the same vein as above, a \"map\" is a continuous function, possibly with some extra constraints. Often, one works with a pointed space\u2014that is, a space with a \"distinguished point\", called a basepoint. A pointed map is then a map which preserves basepoints; that is, it sends the basepoint of the domain to that of the codomain. In contrast, a free map is one which needn't preserve basepoints. The Cartesian product of two pointed spaces formula_1 are not naturally pointed. A substitute is the smash product formula_2 which is characterized by the adjoint relation formula_3,"}, {"text": "that is, a smash product is an analog of a tensor product in abstract algebra (see tensor-hom adjunction). Explicitly, formula_2 is the quotient of formula_5 by the wedge sum formula_6. Homotopy. Let \"I\" denote the unit interval formula_7. A map formula_8 is called a homotopy from the map formula_9 to the map formula_10, where formula_11. Intuitively, we may think of formula_12 as a path from the map formula_9 to the map formula_10. Indeed, a homotopy can be shown to be an equivalence relation. When \"X\", \"Y\" are pointed spaces, the maps formula_15 are required to preserve the basepoint and the homotopy formula_12 is called a based homotopy. A based homotopy is the same as a (based) map formula_17 where formula_18 is formula_19 together with a disjoint basepoint. Given a pointed space \"X\" and an integer formula_20, let formula_21 be the homotopy classes of based maps formula_22 from a (pointed) \"n\"-sphere formula_23 to \"X\". As it turns out, Every group is the fundamental group of some space. A map formula_31 is called a homotopy equivalence if there is another map formula_32 such that formula_33 and formula_34 are both homotopic to the identities. Two spaces are said to be homotopy equivalent if"}, {"text": "there is a homotopy equivalence between them. A homotopy equivalence class of spaces is then called a homotopy type. There is a weaker notion: a map formula_35 is said to be a weak homotopy equivalence if formula_36 is an isomorphism for each formula_20 and each choice of a base point. A homotopy equivalence is a weak homotopy equivalence but the converse need not be true. Through the adjunction formula_38, a homotopy formula_39 is sometimes viewed as a map formula_40. CW complex. A CW complex is a space that has a filtration formula_41 whose union is formula_30 and such that For example, a sphere formula_23 has two cells: one 0-cell and one formula_52-cell, since formula_23 can be obtained by collapsing the boundary formula_48 of the \"n\"-disk to a point. In general, every manifold has the homotopy type of a CW complex; in fact, Morse theory implies that a compact manifold has the homotopy type of a finite CW complex. Remarkably, Whitehead's theorem says that for CW complexes, a weak homotopy equivalence and a homotopy equivalence are the same thing. Another important result is the approximation theorem. First, the homotopy category of spaces is the category where an object is a space"}, {"text": "but a morphism is the homotopy class of a map. Then Explicitly, the above approximation functor can be defined as the composition of the singular chain functor formula_57 followed by the geometric realization functor; see . The above theorem justifies a common habit of working only with CW complexes. For example, given a space formula_30, one can just define the homology of formula_30 to the homology of the CW approximation of formula_30 (the cell structure of a CW complex determines the natural homology, the cellular homology and that can be taken to be the homology of the complex.) Cofibration and fibration. A map formula_61 is called a cofibration if given: such that formula_64, there exists a homotopy formula_65 that extends formula_9 and such that formula_67. An example is a neighborhood deformation retract; that is, formula_30 contains a mapping cylinder neighborhood of a closed subspace formula_69 and formula_31 the inclusion (e.g., a tubular neighborhood of a closed submanifold). In fact, a cofibration can be characterized as a neighborhood deformation retract pair. Another basic example is a CW pair formula_71; many often work only with CW complexes and the notion of a cofibration there is then often implicit. A fibration in the"}, {"text": "sense of Hurewicz is the dual notion of a cofibration: that is, a map formula_72 is a fibration if given (1) a map formula_73 and (2) a homotopy formula_74 such that formula_75, there exists a homotopy formula_76 that extends formula_9 and such that formula_78. While a cofibration is characterized by the existence of a retract, a fibration is characterized by the existence of a section called the path lifting as follows. Let formula_79 be the pull-back of a map formula_80 along formula_81, called the mapping path space of formula_82. Viewing formula_83 as a homotopy formula_84 (see ), if formula_82 is a fibration, then formula_83 gives a homotopy formula_87 such that formula_88 where formula_89 is given by formula_82. This formula_91 is called the path lifting associated to formula_82. Conversely, if there is a path lifting formula_91, then formula_82 is a fibration as a required homotopy is obtained via formula_91. A basic example of a fibration is a covering map as it comes with a unique path lifting. If formula_96 is a principal \"G\"-bundle over a paracompact space, that is, a space with a free and transitive (topological) group action of a (topological) group, then the projection map formula_97 is a fibration,"}, {"text": "because a Hurewicz fibration can be checked locally on a paracompact space. While a cofibration is injective with closed image, a fibration need not be surjective. There are also based versions of a cofibration and a fibration (namely, the maps are required to be based). Lifting property. A pair of maps formula_98 and formula_80 is said to satisfy the lifting property if for each commutative square diagram there is a map formula_100 that makes the above diagram still commute. (The notion originates in the theory of model categories.) Let formula_101 be a class of maps. Then a map formula_80 is said to satisfy the right lifting property or the RLP if formula_82 satisfies the above lifting property for each formula_104 in formula_101. Similarly, a map formula_98 is said to satisfy the left lifting property or the LLP if it satisfies the lifting property for each formula_82 in formula_101. For example, a Hurewicz fibration is exactly a map formula_80 that satisfies the RLP for the inclusions formula_110. A Serre fibration is a map satisfying the RLP for the inclusions formula_111 where formula_112 is the empty set. A Hurewicz fibration is a Serre fibration and the converse holds for CW complexes. On"}, {"text": "the other hand, a cofibration is exactly a map satisfying the LLP for evaluation maps formula_113 at formula_114. Loop and suspension. On the category of pointed spaces, there are two important functors: the loop functor formula_115 and the (reduced) suspension functor formula_116, which are in the adjoint relation. Precisely, they are defined as Because of the adjoint relation between a smash product and a mapping space, we have: formula_119 These functors are used to construct fiber sequences and cofiber sequences. Namely, if formula_35 is a map, the fiber sequence generated by formula_31 is the exact sequence formula_122 where formula_123 is the homotopy fiber of formula_31; i.e., a fiber obtained after replacing formula_31 by a (based) fibration. The cofibration sequence generated by formula_31 is formula_127 where formula_128 is the homotooy cofiber of formula_31 constructed like a homotopy fiber (use a quotient instead of a fiber.) The functors formula_130 restrict to the category of CW complexes in the following weak sense: a theorem of Milnor says that if formula_30 has the homotopy type of a CW complex, then so does its loop space formula_132. Classifying spaces and homotopy operations. Given a topological group \"G\", the classifying space for principal \"G\"-bundles (\"the\" up"}, {"text": "to equivalence) is a space formula_133 such that, for each space \"X\", formula_134 {principal \"G\"-bundle on \"X\"} / ~ formula_135 where Brown's representability theorem guarantees the existence of classifying spaces. Spectrum and generalized cohomology. The idea that a classifying space classifies principal bundles can be pushed further. For example, one might try to classify cohomology classes: given an abelian group \"A\" (such as formula_140), formula_141 where formula_142 is the Eilenberg\u2013MacLane space. The above equation leads to the notion of a generalized cohomology theory; i.e., a contravariant functor from the category of spaces to the category of abelian groups that satisfies the axioms generalizing ordinary cohomology theory. As it turns out, such a functor may not be representable by a space but it can always be represented by a sequence of (pointed) spaces with structure maps called a spectrum. In other words, to give a generalized cohomology theory is to give a spectrum. A K-theory is an example of a generalized cohomology theory. A basic example of a spectrum is a sphere spectrum: formula_143 Obstruction theory and characteristic class. See also: Characteristic class, Postnikov tower, Whitehead torsion Specific theories. There are several specific theories Homotopy hypothesis. One of the basic questions"}, {"text": "in the foundations of homotopy theory is the nature of a space. The homotopy hypothesis asks whether a space is something fundamentally algebraic. If one prefers to work with a space instead of a pointed space, there is the notion of a fundamental groupoid (and higher variants): by definition, the fundamental groupoid of a space \"X\" is the category where the objects are the points of \"X\" and the morphisms are paths. Abstract homotopy theory. Abstract homotopy theory is an axiomatic approach to homotopy theory. Such axiomatization is useful for non-traditional applications of homotopy theory. One approach to axiomatization is by Quillen's model categories. A model category is a category with a choice of three classes of maps called weak equivalences, cofibrations and fibrations, subject to the axioms that are reminiscent of facts in algebraic topology. For example, the category of (reasonable) topological spaces has a structure of a model category where a weak equivalence is a weak homotopy equivalence, a cofibration a certain retract and a fibration a Serre fibration. Another example is the category of non-negatively graded chain complexes over a fixed base ring. Simplicial set. A simplicial set is an abstract generalization of a simplicial complex and"}, {"text": "can play a role of a \"space\" in some sense. Despite the name, it is not a set but is a sequence of sets together with the certain maps (face and degeneracy) between those sets. For example, given a space formula_30, for each integer formula_20, let formula_146 be the set of all maps from the \"n\"-simplex to formula_30. Then the sequence formula_146 of sets is a simplicial set. Each simplicial set formula_149 has a naturally associated chain complex and the homology of that chain complex is the homology of formula_150. The singular homology of formula_30 is precisely the homology of the simplicial set formula_152. Also, the geometric realization formula_153 of a simplicial set is a CW complex and the composition formula_154 is precisely the CW approximation functor. Another important example is a category or more precisely the nerve of a category, which is a simplicial set. In fact, a simplicial set is the nerve of some category if and only if it satisfies the Segal conditions (a theorem of Grothendieck). Each category is completely determined by its nerve. In this way, a category can be viewed as a special kind of a simplicial set, and this observation is used to"}, {"text": "generalize a category. Namely, an formula_155-category or an formula_155-groupoid is defined as particular kinds of simplicial sets.

The \u201clong\u201d refers to the long-chain classification based on mature protein length of the neurotoxin, which is 66-79 amino acid residues long.

LNTX-1 belongs to the three-finger toxin family (3FTx) of snake venom toxins.

The core of LNTX-1 is rich in disulphide bonds: it has ten conserved cysteine residues, which form five disulphide bridges. The 3FTx family consists of two major categories, neurotoxins and cardiotoxins.

The"}, {"text": "particular 3FTx-subtype LNTX-1 falls within the long-chain subfamily and the type II \u03b1-neurotoxin sub-subfamily. The toxin targets both muscular and neuronal acetylcholine receptors. This dual action is attributed to its structure of eight conserved amino acid residues, Trp25, Asp27, Phe29, Arg33, Arg36, Phe65, Lys23 and Lys49. However, Lys23 and Lys49 residues are only required for muscular acetylcholine receptor binding. Target and Mode of Action. LNTX-1 has a high affinity for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChr) located at both the neuromuscular and neuronal junctions. Short chain toxins (see Chemistry) are only able to bind to the muscular nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, whereas long chain toxins can also bind to neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. The binding to the neuronal receptor is facilitated by the fifth disulphide bond of LNTX-1 (see Chemistry). This bond binds to the \u03b1-7-subunit to exert an inhibitory effect. The toxin behaves as an irreversible antagonist, occupying a binding site whereby acetylcholine would otherwise bind. The result of this antagonistic mode of inhibitory action by LNTX-1 is observed by decreased muscular and neuronal transmission.

In contrast to nonplanar borane clusters that exhibit higher coordination numbers at boron (e.g., through 3-center 2-electron bonds to bridging hydrides or cations), triboracyclopropenyl-type structures are rings of three boron atoms where substituents at each boron are also coplanar to the ring. Triboracyclopropenyl-containing compounds are extreme cases of inorganic aromaticity. They are the lightest and smallest cyclic structures known to display the bonding and magnetic properties that originate from fully delocalized electrons in orbitals of \u03c3 and \u03c0 symmetry. Although three-membered rings of boron are frequently so highly strained as to be experimentally inaccessible, academic interest in their distinctive aromaticity and possible role as intermediates of borane pyrolysis motivated extensive computational studies by theoretical chemists. Beginning in the late 1980s with mass spectrometry work by Anderson \"et al\". on all-boron clusters, experimental studies of triboracyclopropenyls were for decades exclusively limited to gas-phase investigations of the simplest rings (ions of B3). However, more recent work has stabilized the triboracyclopropenyl moiety via coordination to donor ligands or transition metals, dramatically expanding the scope of its chemistry. Synthesis.

The charged molecules of interest are then mass-selected by time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Addition of gases such as N2 or CO to the gas stream affords the corresponding adducts, while addition of metals such as iridium and vanadium to the B target yields the corresponding metal-doped clusters. The sole isolable example of a triboracyclopropenyl anion that persists in solution and in the solid state was identified by Braunschweig and coworkers, who synthesized it by reducing the aminoborane Cl2B=NCy2 (Cy = cyclohexyl) with finely dispersed sodium metal in dimethoxyethane (DME). Cooling of the resulting orange-red solution of the dimeric species Na4[B3(NCy2)3]2 \u2022 2 DME resulted in crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction, by which the structure was determined. Although the detailed reduction mechanism is unknown, it has been suggested that subvalent \"R2N\u2212B\" intermediates are involved in the formation of such boron clusters. Structure and bonding. Due to their special status as the simplest aromatic cycles, the electronic structure of triboracyclopropenyl derivatives has been analyzed with a variety of techniques in computational chemistry. These have ranged from canonical molecular orbital"}, {"text": "theory to alternative formulations of bonding such as adaptive natural density partitioning theory, the quantum theory of atoms in molecules, natural bond orbital theory, natural orbitals for chemical valence and electron localization function analysis. NICS and ring current calculations have also been used to characterize the aromaticity in such systems by using magnetic criteria. In general, the extremely small size of these cycles implies that their bonding electrons experience substantial Coulomb repulsion, resulting in abnormally high ring strain. This effect is partially compensated for by the stabilization offered by aromatic delocalization. B3+. B3+ displays \u03c0 aromaticity associated with its a2\"-symmetric HOMO. In its singlet electronic ground state, it is a H\u00fcckel 2\u03c0 electron system analogous to the cyclopropenium cation, but it is too reactive to be isolated. It is triangular, with D3h symmetry - all of its B atoms and B-B bond distances are chemically equivalent. The gas-phase adducts B3(N2)3+ and B3(CO)3+ have been computationally studied through ETS-NOCV (extended transition state - natural orbitals for chemical valence) theory, which dissects the changes in energy and electron density that result as a molecule is prepared from a reference state of noninteracting fragments.

As a result, each was interpreted as a B3+ moiety supported by dative bonding from N2 or CO. The electron deformation density constructed from the NOCVs of this system, together with charges derived from natural bond orbital populations, indicate electron flow from the exocyclic ligand into the ring, which induces all the equivalent bonds of the B3+ core to shorten by approximately 4 pm. \u03c0-symmetry interactions are observed with both the weak \u03c3 donor N2 and the strong \u03c0 acceptor ligand CO. However, the out-of-plane \u03c0 backdonation (from the \u03c0 system of the B3 ring to the \u03c0 acceptor orbitals of each ligand) is less stabilizing than the in-plane \u03c0 backdonation, with strengths of -26.7 and -19.6 kcal/mol for the [B3(CO)2+ + CO] system. This suggests that the minimum-energy configuration of the molecule is one which preserves maximal \u03c0 aromaticity in the B3+ core.

Both are nearly identical in energy and coexist in the generated cluster beam. Computations suggest that B3+ may even bind inert noble-gas atoms to form an unusual family of compounds B3(Rg)3+ (Rg = rare/noble gas), with nonnegligible bond strengths (from 15 to 30 kcal/mol) that originate from Rg p-orbital \u03c3 donicity and a significant degree of charge transfer from Rg to B3+.

The only experimentally characterized compound of this class is Na4[B3(NCy2)3]2 \u2022 2 DME, a dimer of stacked B3R32- units which are themselves aromatic. Natural bond orbital analysis indicates that this compound is highly stabilized (by roughly 45 kcal/mol) by a donor-acceptor interaction of localized B\u2212B bond orbitals with corresponding B\u2212N antibonding orbital across the ring, in addition to being bound together by electrostatic attraction to bridging Na+ cations identified in the crystal structure. DFT calculations show that the HOMO and HOMO-1 are antisymmetric and symmetric combinations of the \u03c0 HOMO of an individual ring, respectively - a feature shared with metallocenes. As expected for a species with B\u2212B bonds that have a formal MO bond order of formula_1, the average B-B bond length of 1.62 \u00c5 is closer to those of diborene (R-B=B-R) radical cations than B\u2212B single bonds of roughly 1.75 \u00c5.

Hyperfine coupling of the unpaired electron to the 11B nucleus provided an estimate of 15% s-orbital character for the a1' HOMO. The small and nonpolar B3 rings were able to tumble and rotate freely even when confined in the matrix. In general, triboracyclopropenyl-containing species have been too short-lived and produced in insufficient quantity for transmission-mode infrared spectroscopy. However, dissociating B3(N2)3+ with infrared light and observing the decay of the corresponding mass-to-charge signal via mass spectrometry allowed an effective infrared spectrum of B3(N2)3+ to be recorded. This vibrational photodissociation spectrum contained only a single detectable vibration with a redshift of 98 cm\u22121 relative to gaseous N2, suggesting a highly symmetric B3(N2)3+ adduct with slightly weakened N\u2261N bonding.

In B3\u2212, an unusually high-intensity and high energy band corresponding to a multielectron or \"shake-up\" transition (coupled electron detachment and electronic excitation) was observed, suggesting the strong electron correlation present in the triboracyclopropenyl fragment. For IrB3\u2212, vibrational progression from the stretching and breathing vibrations of IrB3 could be assigned in the overlaid spectra of both isomers present in the cluster beam.

It is one of a group of short, basic peptides called calcins, which bind to ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and thereby trigger calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Etymology. The name intrepicalcin is a combination of the species name of the organism that produces it (\"Vaejovis intrepidus\") and the family name of short toxins that it belongs to (calcins). Source. Intrepicalcin is a toxin derived from the venom gland of the scorpion \"Vaejovis intrepidus\" \".\" This species belongs to the family of Vaejovidae in the order of Scorpiones. \"Vaejovis intrepidus\" is endemic to central Mexico. Chemistry. Structure and family. Intrepicalcin (ViCaTx1) belongs to the scorpion calcin family. The structure of calcins is specified by the Inhibitor Cystine Knot (ICK) motif. This folding motif is found in many toxins interacting with calcium channels in spiders and snails and distinguishes them from sodium, potassium and chloride channel toxins in scorpions. All calcins are composed of 33 amino acids, among which are 6 cysteines. These cysteines are highly conserved and form three disulfide bonds that are important for the ICK motif. In intrepicalcin and some other calcins, three of"}, {"text": "these cysteines are embedded in three \ud835\udefd strands. The 3D structure of intrepicalcin has not yet been solved. However, the 3D structure of imperacalcin, another member of the calcin family, has been elucidated with 1H-NMR. Based on the fact that intrepicalcin and imperacalcin have a 70% sequence homology (see Homology), it is predicted that intrepicalcin has a coiled, spherical structure. The ICK motif contains three disulfide bridges embedded in \ud835\udefd strands. Most positively-charged residues (lysine and arginine) are located on the frontal side of the peptide. However, compared to other calcins, intrepicalcin contains two extra positively-charged basic lysines (residue 12 and 14) on its dorsal side. Therefore, its charge separation is the lowest of all calcins. Homology. The most closely related calcin is vejocalcin, which only differs in its 14th residue (N in vejocalcin versus K in intrepicalcin) and has a matching identity of 97.0%. Imperacalcin, on the other hand, has a matching identity of only 69.7% (ten different residues) and has the lowest similarity with intrepicalcin of all currently known members of the calcin family. This suggests that within this family, intrepicalcin and imperacalcin have the smallest common evolutionary origin. Furthermore, in general the C-terminal part of the calcin"}, {"text": "peptide (residues 15-33), containing two of the cysteine-containing \ud835\udefd strands, is relatively conserved compared to the N-terminal part (residues 1-14). The C-terminal part thus also shows more homology across the calcin family than the N-terminal part. Target. Intrepicalcin exerts its toxic effect by binding to ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1), which is a calcium release ion channel present in mammalian skeletal muscle cells. RyR1s can be opened by direct protein-protein interaction with dihydropyridine receptors, which are voltage-sensing L-type calcium channels (CaV1.1). When the muscle depolarizes, a conformational change in CaV1.1 activates RyR1, which then opens and allows calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This phenomenon is called coupled gating. RyR1s seem to be able to open without this interaction as well, but the underlying mechanism is not yet fully understood. RyR1 consists of four subunits and has binding sites for several regulatory molecules, such as calcium, calmodulin, ATP and magnesium. The opening of the channel involves two hinge glycines. The receptor is expressed in mammals, but homologues exist in avian and amphibian skeletal muscles. Mode of action. Intrepicalcin stabilizes the opening of RyR1 and brings it into a reversible and long-lasting subconductance state. This subconductance state is 55% of the full"}, {"text": "conductance state of the channel and enables a constant calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The precise binding site of intrepicalcin on RyR1 is not known. However, imperacalcin is known to bind a site within the ion conduction channel. Since all known calcins induce the same modifications, a common binding site seems likely. Intrepicalcin and calcins in general are able to cross the plasma membrane and can thus translocate between cells. Toxicity. The ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1) is expressed in skeletal muscles in mammals. The alterations in the calcium potentials which are caused by intrepicalcin interaction with RyR1, affect these skeletal muscles and result in muscular paralysis. This can contribute to the immobilization of the predators and preys of the scorpion \"Vaejovis intrepidus\"."}, {"text": "Avdhoot Dandekar (born 9 July 1990) is an Indian cricketer.

At this concentration, MeuKTX also affects rKv1.6 and shaker IR channels. Mode of action. The blocking effect of hKv1.3 by MeuKTX occurs rapidly and is reversible. Channel gating does not seem to be altered by binding of MeuKTX. However, the neurotoxin supposedly binds to the extracellular side of hKv1.3. Based on its relatedness to the \u03b1-KTx subfamily, it seems likely that a single toxin molecule occludes the extracellular pore. Toxicity. In general, the \"M. eupeus\" scorpion venom has a lethal dose (LD50) of 4.5 (IV), 8.75 (IP), and 11.5 mg/kg (SC). Currently, there is no knowledge of the toxic effect of MeuKTX specifically. However it is suggested that MeuKTX blocks hKv1.3 on T lymphocytes and therefore suppresses immune responses. Treatment. \"M. eupeus\" stings can only be effectively treated using antibodies against venom components."}, {"text": "Singor () is a rural locality (a village) in Malyginskoye Rural Settlement, Kovrovsky District, Vladimir Oblast, Russia.

The group's first two albums, 1987's \"Hi\" and 1989's \"Yes, Indeed,\" self-described by Ackerson as \"whimsical,\" were limited releases on Ackerson's own Susstones label. The third, 1990's \"Approximately,\" moved to the larger label Clean (Twin/Tone), but despite the band's increased profile, the album suffered when Twin/Tone's distributor, Rough Trade, went out of business. \"Trouser Press\" writer Ira Robbins praised \"Approximately\" as a turning point \"for Ackerson, who was on his way to becoming an assured and able multi-faceted rocker.\" The band put out two more records in 1992, the power-pop set \"Up\" and the more dreamlike \"Fine\", before breaking up that year.

After a short stint as second guitarist in Blake Babies singer John Strohm's band Antenna, Ackerson formed Polara with guitarist Jennifer Jurgens, bassist Jason Orris, and Trip Shakespeare's Matt Wilson on drums, continuing his interest in 1960s psychedelic pop but adding a heavy element of Krautrock-inspired electronics and keyboards. Polara was Ackerson's first band to gain significant national attention. The group released a self-titled debut in 1995, which \"Allmusic\" writer Rick Anderson called \"weird but lovable\" and \"as fresh and bracing as a bucket of ice water in the face.\" \"Billboard\" writer Chris Morris called it \"the first truly great album (I have) heard in 1995.\" Strohm also contributed to the debut album.

Corporate mergers involving Interscope soon led the label to drop many bands, including Polara. Ackerson put Polara on hold in favor of other projects, but Jurgens and new bassist Dan Boen rejoined Ackerson for 2002's \"Jetpack Blues\", released on Susstones.

Around 1985, the Cottesloe Reformed Church was also absorbed into the original Brixton congregation. Around 2014, Vergesig changed its name to Brixton Church. Background. Worshipers from Vrdedorp and Brixton began agitating in church council meetings for their own district or curate as early as the tenure of Rev. J.S. Marais (pastor of Fordsburg, 1920-1925).

At the 1926 Ring Conference in Waterval, a Fordsburg census of 1,500-1,600 members led the Ring Committee to condemn the Fordsburg council's refusal to procure help. After the Committee spoke once more with the council that October, the council agreed to separate its part of Vrededorp given their experience with curates. The Fordsburg council offered to have the Vrederus Reformed Church do the same with its slice of that suburb, which thus released the adjacent territories on August 26, 1927 as the Vrededorp congregation (later Cottesloe).

Pauw became gravely ill, delaying further consideration of the move. After Rev. Pauw's death in November 1937, the council resumed their work and elder De Kock submitted the plans to the Ring Committee for releasing Brixton, Mayfair West, and Crosby.

Since it has few available electrons for metallic bonding, like its heavier group 13 congeners, it has the characteristic physical properties of a post-transition metal, with longer-than-expected interatomic distances. Furthermore, as Al3+ is a small and highly charged cation, it is strongly polarizing and aluminium compounds tend towards covalency; this behaviour is similar to that of beryllium (Be2+), an example of a diagonal relationship. However, unlike all other post-transition metals, the underlying core under aluminium's valence shell is that of the preceding noble gas, whereas for gallium and indium it is that of the preceding noble gas plus a filled d-subshell, and for thallium and nihonium it is that of the preceding noble gas plus filled d- and f-subshells. Hence, aluminium does not suffer the effects of incomplete shielding of valence electrons by inner electrons from the nucleus that its heavier congeners do.

Reactions of aluminium. Aluminium reacts with most nonmetals upon heating, forming compounds such as aluminium nitride (AlN), aluminium sulfide (Al2S3), and the aluminium halides (AlX3). It also forms a wide range of intermetallic compounds involving metals from every group on the periodic table. Aluminium has a high chemical affinity to oxygen, which renders it suitable for use as a reducing agent in the thermite reaction. A fine powder of aluminium reacts explosively on contact with liquid oxygen; under normal conditions, however, aluminium forms a thin oxide layer that protects the metal from further corrosion by oxygen, water, or dilute acid, a process termed passivation. This layer is destroyed by contact with mercury due to amalgamation or with salts of some electropositive metals. As such, the strongest aluminium"}, {"text": "alloys are less corrosion-resistant due to galvanic reactions with alloyed copper, and aluminium's corrosion resistance is greatly reduced by aqueous salts, particularly in the presence of dissimilar metals. In addition, although the reaction of aluminium with water at temperatures below 280 \u00b0C is of interest for the production of hydrogen, commercial application of this fact has challenges in circumventing the passivating oxide layer, which inhibits the reaction, and in storing the energy required to regenerate the aluminium. Primarily because it is corroded by dissolved chlorides, such as common sodium chloride, household plumbing is never made from aluminium. However, because of its general resistance to corrosion, aluminium is one of the few metals that retains silvery reflectance in finely powdered form, making it an important component of silver-colored paints. Aluminium mirror finish has the highest reflectance of any metal in the 200\u2013400 nm (UV) and the 3,000\u201310,000 nm (far IR) regions; in the 400\u2013700 nm visible range it is slightly outperformed by tin and silver and in the 700\u20133000 nm (near IR) by silver, gold, and copper.

Oxidizing acids do not effectively attack high-purity aluminium because the oxide layer forms and protects the metal; aqua regia will nevertheless dissolve aluminium. This allows aluminium to be used to store reagents such as nitric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid, and some organic acids. Inorganic compounds. The vast majority of compounds, including all aluminium-containing minerals and all commercially significant aluminium compounds, feature aluminium in the oxidation state +3. The coordination number of such compounds varies, but generally Al3+ is either six- or four-coordinate. Almost all compounds of aluminium(III) are colorless. In aqueous solution, Al3+ exists as the hexaaqua cation [Al(H2O)6]3+, which has an approximate pKa of 10\u22125.

Aluminium tribromide and aluminium triiodide form Al2X6 dimers in all three phases and hence do not show such significant changes of properties upon phase change. These materials are prepared by treating aluminium with the halogen. The aluminium trihalides form many addition compounds or complexes; their Lewis acidic nature makes them useful as catalysts for the Friedel\u2013Crafts reactions. Aluminium trichloride has major industrial uses involving this reaction, such as in the manufacture of anthraquinones and styrene; it is also often used as the precursor for many other aluminium compounds and as a reagent for converting nonmetal fluorides into the corresponding chlorides (a transhalogenation reaction).

They are used for the treatment of osteoporosis and other bone disorders that cause bone fragility and diseases where bone resorption is excessive. Osteoporosis is common in post-menopausal women and patients in corticosteroid treatment where biphosphonates have been proven a valuable treatment and also used successfully against Paget's disease, myeloma, bone metastases and hypercalcemia. Bisphosphonates reduce breakdown of bones by inhibiting osteoclasts, they have a long history of use and today there are a few different types of bisphosphonate drugs on the market around the world. Discovery. Bisphosphonates were originally synthesized in the 19th century and used in industry for their antiscaling and anticorrosive properties. In the late 1960s their potential to treat diseases related to the metabolism of the bones became evident. The first generation of bisphosphonates included etidronic acid and clodronic acid which were introduced in the 1970s and 1980s. They were the first bisphosphonate drugs to be used successfully in the clinic. They have since then been developed further with the intention to make them more potent, enhance their distribution inside the bone and extend the duration of action. This has"}, {"text": "made it possible to give zoledronate, the most recent bisphosphonate drug to be placed on the market, in a single annual dose by intravenous infusion. Development. The original bisphosphonates (first generation) were simple molecules with small groups of single atoms or alkyl chains in position R1 and R2. They only had a rather weak inhibiting effect on bone resorption. The inclusion of an amino group marked the beginning of the second generation of bisphosphonates with higher potency. The first was pamidronate and similar analogues followed where the position of the nitrogen in the side chain was the key to a more potent drug. Later it became apparent that the nitrogen does not necessarily have to be connected to an alkyl chain but instead using a heterocyclic group. A few such drugs have been developed and placed on the market where zoledronate is the most notable one. Minodronic acid is even more potent and has been placed on the market in Japan. Their potency is such that it is effective even in picomolar concentration. Further development has not resulted in the placing on the market of compounds in equal potency.

Recent research in this area has opened up an opportunity to develop new bisphosphonate drug therapies. Bisphosphonates with a more lipophilic character have been developed and have shown potential as a tumor suppressant. They operate by a slightly different mechanism in which they not only inhibit the key enzyme farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS) of the mevalonate pathway but also geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase (GGPS), an enzyme also located in the mevalonate pathway. They do not have the same affinity for the bone minerals. GGPS has since been successfully inhibited by a novel bisphosphonate compound with a triazole group within R2 and a methyl group in R1. This may become useful in therapies against malignancies like multiple myeloma. In 2018, a dendritic bisphosphonate was introduced containing three bisphosphonate units. It has shown potential for bone specific delivery of large therapeutic molecules by taking advantage of the high affinity of bisphosphonates to the bone minerals Mechanism of action. The mechanism of action of the bisphosphonates (BP's) has evolved as new generations of drugs have been developed. The function of the first generation bisphosphonates differs from the more"}, {"text": "recent nitrogen containing BP's but both are apparently internalised by endocytosis of a membrane-bound vesicle where the drug is most likely in a complex with Ca2+ ions. This does not concern other cells in the bone as this takes place by a selective uptake of osteoclasts. The common function which applies to all bisphosphonate drugs is a physicochemical interaction with the bone mineral to prevent the physical resorption of the bone by the osteoclasts. This is especially relevant at sites where bone remodelling is most active. The bisphosphonates have an intrinsic affinity for the calcium ions (hydroxyapatite) of the bone mineral just as the endogenous pyrophosphates. The difference lies in the non-hydrolysable carbon-phosphorus bond of the bisphosphonates which prevents their metabolism and at the same time ensure an effective absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. The primary inhibiting action of the first generation of bisphosphonates on osteoclasts is by inducing apoptosis. The mechanism of action is apparently by the formation of an ATP analogue or metabolite of the bisphosphonates like etidronic acid and clodronic acid. The ATP analogue accumulates in the cytosol of the osteoclast with a cytotoxic effect. The primary mechanism of action of the more developed nitrogen containing bisphosphonates"}, {"text": "is however by cellular effects on osteoclasts through inhibition of the mevalonate pathway and in particular the subsequent formation of isoprenoid lipids. The inhibition takes place at a key branch point in the pathway catalyzed by farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS).

The function of osteoclasts depends on them for a variety of cellular processes like apoptosis. Structure activity relationship. Pharmacophore. Bisphosphonates mimic the endogenous inorganic pyrophosphate where the oxygen backbone is replaced with carbon (P-C-P for P-O-P). The two additional groups or side chains on the carbon backbone are usually referred to as R1 and R2. R1 is usually a hydroxyl group which enhances the affinity for the calcium by forming a tridentate ligand along with the phosphate groups. The compound can be made more potent by optimizing the structure of the R2 group to best inhibit bone resorption. Phosphonate. Phosphonate groups in the chemical structure are important for the binding of the drug to the target enzyme. Studies have shown that removal or replacement of the phosphonate group with a carboxylic acid causes drastic loss in potency of the"}, {"text": "drug and the enzyme inhibitor no longer goes into an isomerized state.

Drugs that have no hydroxyl group initially cause better inhibition than parent compounds, without hydroxyl group the drug seems to fit more easily into the open active site. The absence of hydroxyl group however reduces the ability to hold the target enzyme complex in isomerized state. Biological activity of bisphosphonates with hydroxyl group, therefore, appears over longer time. Nitrogen (R2 side chain). Nitrogen containing bisphosphonates are the current most used drugs in the class because of their potency. Studies have shown that nitrogen on bisphosphonates forms hydrogen bond with threonine (Thr201) and the carbonyl part of Lysine (Lys200) on target enzyme, therefore enhancing the binding of the complex.

Heterocyclic nitrogen containing bisphosphonates have revealed better results in terms of activity compared to earlier bisphosphonates with nitrogen bound to carbon chain. Studies on risedronate analogous with different placement of nitrogen on the ring have shown no measurable difference on biological activity. Increased length of carbon chain connected to the ring revealed negative results. Zoledronate is the most potent bisphosphonate drug today only available as intravenous injection.

During the April 19 Revolution and the May 16 military coup, he began to share his resistance against social injustice through his work and contemplated the social responsibility of writers.

In 1996, he served as a board member of the Korea People's Artists Federation, and he has been serving as a board member for the Writers Association of Korea since 2010.

The issue of methodologies of looking at the reality and literature of South Korea began to be boiled down to the theme of \"realism\" in 1970, starting with a discussion titled \"April 19 Revolution and Korean Literature,\" hosted by \"Sasanggye\" (\uc0ac\uc0c1\uacc4 World of Thought). Ku Jung-seo and Kim Hyeon had an intense discussion on realism, joined by Yeom Mu-woong, Kim Ch'i-su, and Kim Byeong-ik. According to Ku, the role of a writer begins from a meticulous observation of reality. However, if a work of literature simply stops at objectively describing the reality, it is nothing more than naturalist literature that lacks historical awareness. A writer must capture the social contradictions that create problems and find an opportunity to overcome the contradictions. Only then can his writing be realist literature. Ku systematically organized his arguments from the discussion and published the \"Hanguk rieoliseum munhagui hyeongseong (\ud55c\uad6d \ub9ac\uc5bc\ub9ac\uc998 \ubb38\ud559\uc758 \ud615\uc131 The Formation of Korean"}, {"text": "Realist Literature) in 1970.

This was the first piece of writing on realism that began after Korea's liberation from the Japanese rule. Continuity of literary history. Intense discussions on the starting point of modern Korean literature and methodologies on writing literary history began in the 1970s. \"Hanguk munhaksa\" (\ud55c\uad6d\ubb38\ud559\uc0ac History of Korean Literature), written by Kim Yun-sik and Kim Hyeon in 1973 explained that the modern era began in the late eighteenth century, during the reigns of Yeongjo and Jeongjo, and emphasized the history of Korean literature that came afterward. On the other hand, Ku emphasized the continuity between classical literature and modern literature and formed his thoughts on literary history based on the question: \"How does the culture of previous era continue into the next?\" He also argued that writing about literary history should not be limited to the intellectuals' ideological flow and that it should pay more attention to the basic culture of the people.

Third World literature. Ku Jung-seo was also a leading scholar of the Third World Literature theory that began to be discussed in the 1980s. According to him, the West achieved an economic boom through industrialization based on colonization, but as a result human and spiritual values were seriously undermined. On the other hand, the Third World, consisting of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, has become colonies to the powerful countries in the West and underdeveloped in terms of politics and economy, but the damage to human values resulting from materialism is relatively less. Ku believed that, in the future, Third World literature can expand human values in the cultural tradition of each nation and restore the health of world literature in place of Western literature. He developed this thesis through writings, such as \"Je-3 segye munhangron\" (\uc81c3\uc138\uacc4 \ubb38\ud559\ub860 Theory on Third World Literature) (1979) and \"Je-3 segye munhagui jeonmang\" (Prospects for Third World Literature) (1980)."}, {"text": "Aani Ver () is a 1981 Indian Tamil-language drama film directed by K.

He enrolled in Methodist Theological University and spent his 20s troubled by a sense of emptiness. He thirsted for poetry and fiction while studying rigid theology, and when Ko Junghee, who was a student at another theological school, made her literary debut as a poet, he invited her to a school festival. Afterward, he began to compose poetry in earnest and spent 10 years writing. Eventually, in 1987, he made his literary"}, {"text": "debut when five of his poems including \"Bindeul\" (\ube48\ub4e4 Empty Fields) were published. A Poet and a religious Leader. Even after his poetic debut, Ko served as a pastor in different areas of Gangwon Province. He learned to see the world with a warm gaze while spending time with the people of agricultural towns, and his poetry gradually became more positive. Experiencing God in nature, he became absorbed in various religious texts, such as Upanishads or those written by Laozi or Zhuangzi. After his pilgrimage to India in 2002, he was fascinated by the landscape and spirituality he experienced in India and wrote a book of his travels to India titled \"Sindeurui nara, ingenui ttang\" (\uc2e0\ub4e4\uc758 \ub098\ub77c, \uc778\uac04\uc758 \ub545 The Country of Gods, The Land of People) (2009). To lead a life enjoying inconveniences and unhappiness, he moved to a remote mountain village in Gangwon Province and built a \"hanok\" (traditional Korean house). During the day, he repairs old \"hanok\" or cultivates his vegetable garden; in the evenings he reads and writes. He is actively giving lectures at universities and libraries on the topic of sustainable life. His major poetry collections include \"Jiguem nameun jadeurui goljjagien\" (\uc9c0\uae08 \ub0a8\uc740 \uc790\ub4e4\uc758 \uace8\uc9dc\uae30\uc5d4"}, {"text": "In the Valley of Those Who Remain Today) (1990), \"Peurancheseukoui saedeul\" (\ud504\ub780\uccb4\uc2a4\ucf54\uc758 \uc0c8\ub4e4 Francesco's Birds) (1999), \"Eoreum sudowon\" (\uc5bc\uc74c\uc218\ub3c4\uc6d0 Ice Monastery) (2001), and \"Myeongnangui dulle\" (\uba85\ub791\uc758 \ub458\ub808 The Circumference of Joviality) (2015). In addition, he also published a number of essay collections, including \"Si ilgeojuneun yesu\" (\uc2dc \uc77d\uc5b4\uc8fc\ub294 \uc608\uc218 Jesus Reading Poetry) (2015) and \"Japcho chiyu bapsang\" (\uc7a1\ucd08 \uce58\uc720 \ubc25\uc0c1 A Healing Table of Weeds) (2017). He also wrote a number of children's books that retell the stories in the Bible. Writing. Early works of poetry. In Ko Jinha's early poems, there is a notable attitude of enduring existential suffering in the absence of God. \"Jiguem nameun jadeurui goljjagien\" (1990) depicts the desolate reality of farming towns he witnessed while working as an evangelist in Gangwon Province. The images of empty fields that are prevalent in the poetry collection symbolizes the barrenness of humans in a world devoid of God. \"Peurancheseukoui saedeul\" (1993) paints the existential pain of humans with frightening images. In verses, such as \"Slitting the rotting, decaying intestines/to look for precious treasure/that will slip and slide out\" (\uc6a9\uc5f0\ud5a5 Yongyeonhyang), the poet struggles to confront suffering squarely in the eye. It is an attempt to embrace the world"}, {"text": "and fight, while acknowledging that human existence must coexist with suffering. Shift in poetic style. A shift in Ko Jinha's world of poetry is noticeable starting with \"Ujubaekkop\" (\uc6b0\uc8fc\ubc30\uaf3d The Universe's Bellybutton) (1997). Suffering still prevails in the world, and there are always wars being waged somewhere in the world. But in \"Jangma\" (\uc7a5\ub9c8 Rainy Season), the poet who hears the news of a war thinks of Calvary where Jesus died and names the hill \"the universe's bellybutton.\" In this rhetorical question (\"There,/you can still hear/the cry of newborns?\") is the will to embrace the painful reality with the arms of nature. When observing and contemplating on the ways of the universe, God is no longer absent but is rediscovered as an omnipresent existence in our daily lives. Ko's attitude of looking for sanctity inherent in all living things leads to an open and pluralistic attitude toward religion. Buddhist elements, such as bodhisattvas, Buddhist temple bells, lotus, and Sahasrabhuja, often appear in \"Eoreum sudowon\" (2001). In the poem \"Hapjang\" (\ud569\uc7a5 Namaskar) published in \"Sutak\" (\uc218\ud0c9 Rooster) (2005), he even wrote \"Buddha and Jesus are living together in one body.\" Through a new theology that does not insist on any kind"}, {"text": "of boundaries, the sanctity of all living things traverse each other and gradually become one.

The \"tabia\" stretches on both sides of the main road that climbs towards Dogu\u2019a Tembien after passing the bridge on Giba River. The highest location are the upper slopes of Imba Dogu\u2019a (2590 m a.s.l.) and the lowest place along Giba River (1750 m a.s.l.). It comprises cultivated plains and steeper slopes, with often good vegetation (re)growth. Geology. From the higher to the lower locations, the following geological formations are present: Geomorphology and soils. The main geomorphic unit is the gently undulating Agula shale plateau with dolerite. Corresponding soil types are: Rainfall in Addi Azmera. Due to its great difference in elevation, with slopes turned towards the wind direction (from east) during the short spring rains, orographic rains occur in that season.

Hence the presence of springs is of utmost importance for the local people. However, in relation to the overall presence of limestone, there are only very few strong springs: Reservoirs. In this area with rains that last only for a couple of months per year, reservoirs of different sizes allow harvesting runoff from the rainy season for further use in the dry season.

Therein some years earlier ownership of the structure had changed hands and moniker to MetLife and the new owner's citing repurposing of the lobby to allow for more light to enter doubled with the fact the mural had been found to be laden with asbestos took the work down without notice. This then led to somewhat of an uproar. In 2019 the new owners of the structure Tishman Speyer decided to reinstall the work in its original position. However, as the murals was disassembled into panels which were laden with asbestos, the work had to be recreated.

It is an extremely rare mineral, discovered in the Markey mine Utah, U.S.A. The mineral is a transparent yellow and has blades up to approximately 0.2 mm in length. It is soluble in water or aqueous solutions. Meyrowitzite is named in honor of Robert Meyrowitz (1916\u20132013), an American analytical chemist. After serving in WW II, he joined the United States Geological Survey (USGS). He was known for developing innovative new methods for analyzing small and difficult to study mineralogical samples along with his formulation of the high-index immersion liquids. Occurrence. Meyrowitzite was discovered underground in the Markey mine, Red Canyon, Suan Juan County, Utah, U.S.A. It has not been found in any other location. Mineralized channels of meyrowitzite are in the Shinarump Member of the Chinle Formation. The Shinarump member is made up of medium-to coarse-grained sandstone, conglomeratic sandstone beds, and thick siltstone lenses. Ore minerals were deposited as replacements of wood and other organic materials and as disseminations in the enclosing sandstone.

Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy is a method of chemical analysis that is non-destructive. The analysis provides detailed information about chemical structure, phase, polymorphy, crystallinity, and molecular interactions. Meyrowitzite's Raman spectroscopy was conducted on a Horiba XploRA PLUS. The spectrum was recorded using a 785 nm diode laser because of significant fluorescence when using a 532 nm diode laser. Meryrowitzites spectrum is similar to that of Zellerites. However, Meyrowitzite's spectrum has a larger number of bands primarily in the UO2+2. This is most likely due to the site-symmetry which for Meyrowitzite is monoclinic and orthorhombic for Zellerite. Chemical analysis. Chemical Analysis of Meyrowitzite was performed on a Cameca SX-50 electron microprobe with four wavelength-dispersive spectrometers and using Probe for EPMA software at the University of Utah.

Because of crystal dehydration, the surfaces suffered and it was impossible to obtain a well-polished crystal surface. The sample was not damaged because of the beam. The H2O and (CO2) amounts were calculated based on the structure determination (2 C and 13 O apfu) due to insufficient material instead of the more common method of direct determination. The empirical formula is Ca0.94(U1.00O2)(CO3)2\u00b75(H2.02O). The ideal formula is Ca(UO2)(CO3)2\u00b75H2O, which requires CaO 10.78, UO3 54.98, CO2 16.92, and H2O 17.32, totaling 100 wt%.
