Book Synopsis Courtroom Dramas on the Stage Vol 2 by : Amnon Kabatchnik
Download or read book Courtroom Dramas on the Stage Vol 2 written by Amnon Kabatchnik and published by BearManor Media. This book was released on with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2 concentrates on trial plays mounted in the twentieth century. The first decade featured notable dramas by Leo Tolstoy (The Living Corpse, Russia, 1900), Alexander Bisson (Madame X, France, 1908), and John Galsworthy (Justice, England, 1910). The trend continued with authors of the main stream penning plays populated with judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, jurors, witnesses, and the accused, often charged with murder in the first degree -- Elmer Rice, Ayn Rand, Ernst Toller, W. Somerset Maugham, Richard Wright, Maxwell Anderson, and Arthur Miller. Herman Wouk, Jean Genet, Aldous Huxley, William Faulkner, William Saroyan, James Baldwin, Terence Rattigan, Jeffrey Archer, Ariel Dorfman, David Henry Hwang, Aaron Sorkin, others. Veteran mystery writers joined the fray, concocting courtroom melodramas. Among them were Gaston Leroux (The Mystery of the Yellow Room, 1912), A.E.W Mason (No Other Tiger, 1928), Agatha Christie Witness for the Prosecution, 1953), and Henry Cecil (Settled Out of Court, 1960). Quite a few plays were inspired by real-life events. Caponsacchi (1926) is based on a poem by Robert Browning, depicting a double murder among the clergy in Rome of 1698. Sophie Treadwell's expressionist drama Machinal (1928) focuses on a sensational 1927 murder case in Queens, New York, in which an ordinary stenographer kills her much older husband when she feels stifled at home. A Pin to See the Peepshow (1951), by F. Tennyson Jesse and H.M. Harwood, introduces a twenty-eight-year-old London millinery who, with the aid of her younger lover, plans to eliminate a bossy husband. On the evening of October 3, 1922, he is found stabbed to death on a side road. The entries, presented chronologically, include a plot synopsis, production data, opinions by critics, and biographical sketches of playwrights and key actors-directors.
Book Synopsis The Villainous Stage by : Marvin Lachman
Download or read book The Villainous Stage written by Marvin Lachman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Live theatre was once the main entertainment medium in the United States and the United Kingdom. The preeminent dramatists and actors of the day wrote and performed in numerous plays in which crime was a major plot element. This remains true today, especially with the longest-running shows such as The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables and Sweeney Todd. While hundreds of books have been published about crime fiction in film and on television, the topic of stage mysteries has been largely unexplored. Covering productions from the 18th century to the 2013–2014 theatre season, this is the first history of crime plays according to subject matter. More than 20 categories are identified, including whodunits, comic mysteries, courtroom dramas, musicals, crook plays, social issues, Sherlock Holmes, and Agatha Christie. Nearly 900 plays are described, including the reactions of critics and audiences.

Book Synopsis Development of a novel real-time method to study the erythrocytic life cycle of Plasmodium falciparum using Quartz Crystal Microbalances by : Rosa Elena Bustos Cruz
Download or read book Development of a novel real-time method to study the erythrocytic life cycle of Plasmodium falciparum using Quartz Crystal Microbalances written by Rosa Elena Bustos Cruz and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous studies carried out by the Biosensor Research Group of the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Transfusion Medicine at the Tübingen University had successfully demonstrated determination of various blood types through the interaction of erythrocytes with immobilised antibodies on a QCM. These studies have opened the possibility to test new applications of this technique for the study of infectious diseases. In our case, studies of the erythrocyte life cycle of P. falciparum, particularly during the last six hours preceding the merozoite release and studies related to reinfection of by merozoites were the focus of our investigation. Release of malaria parasites of P. falciparum from infected erythrocyte at the end of their asexual erythrocyte cycle occurs approximately every 48 hours, asynchronously in parasite culture and synchronously in vivo. This process is poorly studied due to: (I) merozoite release is a very short event (60 S), (II) schizont stages have high sensitivity for culture conditions like pH, medium, osmotic pressure, gas atmosphere and temperature. (III) Schizont conditions are not easy to maintain under the miscrocope, making miscroscopical real time observation of the release difficult. The aim of the presented project was to study the release of Plasmodium falciparum merozoites from erythrocytes with the QCM sensor technique. In this way, the frequency shift due to the change of mass associated to the merozoite release and, on a second QCM, the reinfection of healthy erythrocytes are monitored in real time. Our QCM experiments included the following stages: (I) Adaptation and optimisation of the immobilisation of biological layers to capture the erythrocytes on the quartz. (II) Optimisation of parasite culture conditions in a QCM chamber. (III) Observation of the frequency signal both for infected and non-infected erythrocytes samples and correlation of the signal with the release of merozoites. (IV) Reinfection of healthy erythrocytes on a second quartz within one QCM system. (V) Test of inhibition of merozoite release and reinfection by antimalarial compounds. The results showed that there was significant increase of ~1000 Hz for QCM with infected erythrocyte compared to QCM with healthy erythrocytes, where the frequency remained stable. Microscopical observation of the quartz surface at different times during the experiment (TEM and optical) demonstrated a correlation between the increase in frequency and merozoite release. At this point, approximately more than 80% of the infected erythrocytes on the quartz are involved in the release. Reinfection of new erythrocytes was observed on a second QCM. pH of the system (7.2), Temperature (37°C+/-0.1), flow of the medium (9 µL/min), sterility of the process (BactAlert), gas atmosphere (O2 5%, residual N2) were established to ensure parasite development and survival. External controls using flow cytometry 24 hours after the reinfection show a parasitemia percentage of 1% in the erythrocytes infected in situ. Our results show, that the QCM technique is an appropriate and important new tool to elucidate the biology of the re-invasion process of Plasmodia.

Book Synopsis Advanced Therapy of Breast Disease by : S. Eva Singletary
Download or read book Advanced Therapy of Breast Disease written by S. Eva Singletary and published by PMPH-USA. This book was released on 2004 with total page 902 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The information surveyed in this volulme is designed to provide the clinician with an expert overview of the current state of the art in breast cancer management. It should provide at least a flavor of the major paradigm shift that is occurring in this rapidly evolving field. Breast cancer management is moving away from a "kill or cure" model and advancing toward a model focused on strategies of prevention and of long-term management of breast cancer as a chronic disease. The acceptance of this new paradigm by patients and clinicians alike will represent a major focus for the twenty-first century.
