In his intonations to a poem by Charles Baudelaire, which appeared in 2002 under the title o du roher iasmin, Oskar Pastior conducts a piece of applied translation research. He meets the challenges of literary translation, as they are most prominently shown in lyrics, in a translation laboratory in which, in 43 attempts, the different sides of the Baudelaire poem are set out and examined. The act of translating is methodically segmented and explored regarding its latitude, and it is systematically and polyperspectively put in reference to the many different aspects of the body of language. By serialising the individual attempts, the literary text gains an argumentative structure that makes it readable as artistic research: it produces aesthetic knowledge in artistic practice.

Nogo is a member of the reticulon family. Our understanding of the physiological functions of the Nogo-A protein has grown over the last few years, and this molecule is now recognized as one of the most important axonal regrowth inhibitors present in central nervous system (CNS) myelin. Nogo-A plays other important roles in nervous system development, epilepsy, vascular physiology, muscle pathology, stroke, inflammation, and CNS tumors. Since the exact role of Nogo-A protein in human brain development is still poorly understood, we studied its cellular and regional distribution by immunohistochemistry in the frontal lobe of 30 human fetal brains. Nogo-A was expressed in the following cortical zones: ependyma, ventricular zone, subventricular zone, intermediate zone, subplate, cortical plate, and marginal zone. The number of positive cells decreased significantly with increasing gestational age in the subplate and marginal zone. Using different antibodies, changes in isoform expression and dimerization states could be shown between various cortical zones. The results demonstrate a significant change in the expression of Nogo-A during the development of the human brain. The effects of its time- and region-specific regulation have to be further studied in detail.

The main task of the Target Tracker of the long baseline neutrino oscillation OPERA experiment, is to locate in which of the target elementary constituents, the lead/emulsion bricks, the neutrino interactions have occurred and also to give calorimetric information about each event. The technology used consists in walls of two planes of long plastic scintillator strips, one per transverse direction. Wavelength shifting fibres collect the light signal emitted by the scintillator strips and guide it to both ends where it is read by multi-anode photomultiplier tubes. The Target Tracker is composed of 62 scintillating walls of a total surface of about 6000 m2. Each wall is made by assembling 4 horizontal and 4 vertical modules of 64.7 m long, scintillating strips. This detector has observed the first neutrino interactions during August 2006. In this paper we will describe all elements used for the construction and operation of this detector and we will also give its main characteristics. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.
