Lees and Moonshine: Remembering Richard III, 1485-1635

Published version of article deposited in accordance with Sherpa Romeo guidelines. © University of Chicago Press, 2010publication-status: AcceptedNot long after Shakespeare’s birth (1564) the last witnesses to the reign of Richard III (1483-85) would have reached the end of their lives. Richard III (c. 1592) occupies a distinctive historical moment in relation to its subject – a period after the extinction of living memory, but still within the horizon of communicative memory, the period in which stories and recollections may be transmitted across multiple generations. This essay explores how memories and “postmemories” of Richard’s reign were preserved, transmitted and transformed over the course of the sixteenth century and into the seventeenth. Whilst reflecting the powerful influence of emerging contexts including the Reformation and, ultimately, Shakespeare’s play, these memories remained distinct from and sometimes at odds with textual history. They survived because they offered their bearers a resource for interpreting and resisting the predicaments of the present, from the problem of tyranny to the legacies of the Reformation

CURe MODERN – Initiative sur l’inspection de bâtiment moderne et la conception urbaine et régionale

Die Region Saarland-Lothringen-Westpfalz zeichnet sich durch eine Jahrhunderte alte, gemeinsame Geschichte aus, in der dieser Landstrich nicht immer durch territoriale Grenzen getrennt war. Bereits die römischen Baumeister hinterließen Bauwerke von großer kulturhistorischer Relevanz, die die regionale Infrastruktur bis zum heutigen Tag prägen. Um dieses kulturell bedeutungsvolle Erbe auch weiterhin bewahren zu können sowie modernen Ingenieurbauwerken zu einer möglichst langen Lebensdauer zu verhelfen, muss der Zustand der Bausubstanz kontinuierlich geprüft bzw. überwacht werden. Im Rahmen des durch das Programm INTERREG IV A-Großregion geförderten Projektes „CURe MODERN – Initiative moderne Bauwerksprüfung, Stadt- und Regionalplanung SMLPO“ wurde ein Netzwerk von spezialisierten Partnern aus den Regionen Saarland, Lothringen und Westpfalz aufgebaut, das zum grenzüberschreitenden Erfahrungsaustausch im Bereich zerstörungsfreier Prüfverfahren im Bauwesen und der Stadt- und Regionalplanung beiträgt.La région Sarre-Moselle-Lorraine-Palatinat Occidental se caractérise par une histoire commune vieille de plusieurs siècles, pendant lesquels cette région n’était pas toujours séparée par des frontières territoriales. Les architectes romains déjà ont construit des bâtiments d’une grande valeur historique qui marquent l’infrastructure régionale jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Pour continuer à préserver cet important héritage culturel et contribuer à la pérennisation des constructions modernes, il convient d’évaluer et de surveiller régulièrement l'état des ouvrages. Dans le cadre du projet cofinancé par le programme INTERREG IV A Grande Région «CURe MODERN - Initiative sur l’inspection de bâtiment moderne et la conception urbaine et régionale SMLPO», un réseau de partenaires spécialisés de la région Sarre-Moselle-Lorraine-Palatinat Occidental était mis en place qui contribue à l’échange interrégional des expériences faites dans le domaine des essais non destructifs en génie civil, dans la conception urbaine et régionale

Mobility, cohabitation and cultural exchange in the lodging houses of early modern Venice

This article examines the thriving lodging house sector in early modern Venice, arguing that such spaces of temporary accommodation offer a valuable key to understanding how mobility and migration shaped the daily lived experience of the city. Lodging houses were important both to the many Venetian residents who profited from renting out rooms, and to the people who stayed in them, and found there companionship, conversation, access to social and professional networks. Considering the kinds of encounters, conflicts and exchanges that unfolded in these shared spaces, the article offers new insight into the functioning of a pre-modern multicultural metropolis

Coating Techniques and Characterization of Protective Coatings for Electrode Materials in Lithium Ion Batteries -With the Examples of TiO2 on NCM by ALD and Plasma Polymerization of 1.4bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene on Lithium-

Today's lithium ion batteries (LIB) are approaching their theoretical limit of 250 Wh/kg. In order to meet the increasing demands for batteries due to the energy transition and the associated electrification of passenger transport, new concepts must be established. One promising possibility is the use of a lithium metal anode (LMA), which, in combination with solid electrolytes in solid-state batteries, has a capacity that is theoretically 10 times larger than the graphite electrodes currently used. The use of an LMA would thus be an important step towards e.g. long-range vehicles, but is associated with a lot of obstacles. The high reactivity of lithium causes unwanted side reactions with the used electrolytes. When liquid electrolytes are used, the high heat generated by dendrites in the event of short circuits and the associated fire hazard are major problems. Safety can be improved by using solid electrolytes, but the high reactivity remains a problem. Unwanted side reactions are not limited to the LMA, but also to the nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide (NCM) particles used at the cathode. Overall, these (electro) chemically induced degradations lead to poorer battery performance or capacity loss culminating in cell failure. In literature it is already reported that thin protective layers are applied to cathode or anode materials. It is now considered proven that protective coatings are unavoidable to ensure the long-term stability of LIBs. In literature, many processes and different materials are used for coatings, while the analysis of the protective layers in order to understand the protective effect often falls short. In the context of this doctoral thesis, protective layers were therefore prepared for the cathode, by using ALD, and for the anode, by using plasma polymerization, suitable analytical methods were used for the investigation, and a guideline for reproduction of the analytics was prepared. In addition to the widely used methods such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), further useful complementary methods such as time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and low-energy ion scattering spectroscopy (LEIS) or Raman spectroscopy were applied. The analysis results contribute to the comprehensive elucidation of the protective layers and interfaces. In symmetric Li cells, the electrochemical performance of the polymer protective layer was verified and the mechanical properties were de-termined by nanoindentation. Furthermore, the diffusion coefficients of oxygen ions in the native passivation layer of lithium and the polymer layer were determined by 18O2 experiments. The results in this dissertation, on the one hand, extend the analytical characterization of protective layers on battery materials by using new methods and, on the other hand, introduce with the plasma polymerization a forgotten method for the application of protective layers on LMAs. Without performing a proper analysis of the protective layers, it is difficult to draw conclusions about the causes of the protective effects and misinterpretations can easily occur. The work is an important step towards a systematic characterization of protective coatings in combination with their electrochemical performance to develop new coating concepts with the aim of making predictions about suitable materials.Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF); ROR-ID:04pz7b18
