Meister Michel Viol aus Konstanz, Maler der Komburg
1551-1594, seit 1583 Propst) hat nicht nur zahlreiche Bauten, wie etwa die Ringmauer und die Renaissancegebäude der Komburg errichten, sondern auch alle Räume ausmalen lassen. Der Maler, der ihm dabei am meisten diente, wird im allgemeinen als Meister Viol aus Konstanz, manchmal auch als Hans Viol bezeichnet'. Aber schon Hans Rott 2 und ihm folgend Thieme-Becker 3 nennt ihn Michel Viol, geb. 1543 als Sohn des Hans Viol und der Anna Renck. Dabei beruft sich Rott auf das Diözesan-Archiv Schwaben 1908 4 . Hier wird das Komburgische Protokollbuch 1571/75 zitiert, tatsächlich aber handelt es sich um die Rechnungsbücher der Komburg 5 . In der Tat geben die

High stretchability and conductive stability of flexible hybrid electronic materials for smart clothing
In this study, a flexible hybrid electronic (FHE) material with enhanced conductivity was developed and successfully applied to electromyograms (EMG) and electrocardiograms (ECG) of smart clothing. The FHE material comprises a highly stretchable patterned circuit with dry flexible electrodes. The pre-stretched circuit was obtained by mixing three-dimensional (3D) dendritic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with two-dimensional (2D) reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in a thermoplastic elastomer and patterning the resultant as wires using steel plate stencil printing. Based on the nano-dispersion principle, the geometrical differences of nanomaterials could be exploited to form a 3D continuous phase conductive network with improved tensile properties. A highly stretchable and bendable conductive film with a resistance of 1.4 × 10−2 ohm/sq was obtained by mixing 80 wt% of 3D dendritic AgNPs and 1 wt% of rGO to produce pre-strained nanowires with a horseshoe pattern. Furthermore, the conductive film could be coated with a polyurethane (PU) layer to achieve good stability in the washing test. In the tensile fatigue test, the resistance variation ΔR of horseshoe patterned nanowire was only 1.9 ohm under 500 stretches. Additionally, a low-resistance film (∼103 ohm.cm) was fabricated by adding 7 wt% of carbon black and 2D graphene nanoplatelets (CB/GNPs, 4:1) and styrene maleic anhydride-amide (SMA-amide, 10:1 ratio with carbon material), yielding superior fatigue resistance. Finally, a design combining the pre-stretched circuit pattern with dry sensing flexible conductive electrodes was developed and successfully applied for EMG and ECG of smart clothes.

A flexible hybrid substrate was developed by affixing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) onto the surface of two-dimensional nanomica platelets (NMPs). The substrate was successfully used in biosensors with high efficiency and high selectivity through surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). By controlling the amphiphilicity of the hybrid substrate, the flexible substrate was made highly selective toward biomolecules. Four different SERS substrate systems were constructed, including intercalated mica, exfoliated NMPs, hydrophilic exfoliated NMPs, and hydrophobic exfoliated NMPs. NMPs were only 1 nm thick. AuNPs adsorbed on both sides of NMPs and thus created excellent three-dimensional hot junction effects in the z-axis direction. For the detection of adenine in DNA, a satisfactory Raman enhancement factor (EF) of up to 8.9 × 106 was achieved with the detection limit as low as 10-8 M. Subsequently, the AuNP/NMP hybrids were adopted to rapidly detect hydrophilic Staphylococcus hominis and hydrophobic Escherichia coli. The AuNP/PIB-POE-PIB/NMP nanohybrid was concurrently hydrophilic and hydrophobic. This amphiphilic property greatly enhanced the detection selectivity and signal intensity for hydrophilic or hydrophobic bacteria. Overall, AuNPs/PIB-POE-PIB/NMPs developed as SERS substrates enable rapid, sensitive biodetection.
Read moreSoul Shaking as Reason for Criminal Abolition: The Dilemma Between Legal Certainty and Justice/Keguncangan Jiwa Sebagai Alasan Penghapus Pidana: Dilema Antara Kepastian Hukum dan Keadilan
: The forced defense that goes beyond the limits (Noodweer Exces) is still interesting to study. Criminal law experts still debate criteria for a mental shock that cause excessive defense. This study aims to describe the criteria for acts that can be referred to as noodweer exces in criminal cases and analyze the meaning of mental shock in noodweer exces so that there are no multiple interpretations. This article is the result of doctrinal legal research with a statutory approach. The results of this study indicate that a person's behavior is called a noodweer exces if it begins with an immediate attack that is against the law and the victim feels the need to defend himself. The grammatical interpretation of Article 49 of the Criminal Code shows that feelings of discomfort, anger, confusion, and fear that result in great mental shock in a person can be a reason for someone to carry out an excessive forced defense. However, severe mental agitation must get information from a psychologist. Keywords: noodweer exces; shock of the soul; criminal offenses. Abstrak : Pembelaan terpaksa ( Noodweer Exces ) akibat kegoncangan jiwa masih menarik untuk dilakukan kajian. Kriteria keguncangan jiwa yang menyebabkan pembelaan berlebihan masih diperbedatkan oleh para pakar hukum pidana. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kriteria perbuatan yang dapat disebut sebagai noodweer dalam perkara tindak pidana dan menganalisis terkait makna keguncangan jiwa dalam noodweer exces sehingga tidak terjadinya multitafsir. Artikel ini adalah hasil penelitian hukum doktrinal dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa perilaku seseorang disebut sebagai noodweer jika diawali dengan serangan seketika yang bersifat melanggar hukum dan korban merasa perlu melakukan pembelaan. Penafsiran gramatikal terhadap Pasal 49 KUHP menunjukkan bahwa perasaan tidak nyaman, amarah, bingung, dan ketakutan sehingga berakibat pada kegoncangan jiwa yang hebat pada diri seseorang dapat menjadi sebab pembenar seseorang melakukan pembelaan terpaksa secara berlebihan. Meskipun demikian, kegoncangan jiwa yang hebat harus mendapat keterangan dari psikolog.
Read moreHigh-Tg, Low-Dielectric Epoxy Thermosets Derived from Methacrylate-Containing Polyimides.
Three methacrylate-containing polyimides (Px–MMA; x = 1–3) were prepared from the esterification of hydroxyl-containing polyimides (Px–OH; x = 1–3) with methacrylic anhydride. Px–MMA exhibits active ester linkages (Ph–O–C(=O)–) that can react with epoxy in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), so Px–MMA acted as a curing agent for a dicyclopentadiene-phenol epoxy (HP7200) to prepare epoxy thermosets (Px–MMA/HP7200; x = 1–3) thermosets. For property comparisons, P1–OH/HP7200 thermosets were also prepared. The reaction between active ester and epoxy results in an ester linkage, which is less polar than secondary alcohol resulting from the reaction between phenolic OH and epoxy, so P1–MMA/HP7200 are more hydrophobic and exhibit better dielectric properties than P1–OH/HP7200. The double bond of methacrylate can cure at higher temperatures, leading to epoxy thermosets with a high-Tg and moderate-to-low dielectric properties.
Read moreThe Stripping Technique of Glued Cellophane Tape Mechanics Design and The Numerical Study on the Flow Field of analysis
In terms of environmental protection problems relating to the stripping technique of glued cellophane tape, apart from equipment demands being very high, most operators in Taiwan still manually strip the tape. The processing speed is thus slow, and cannot meet operators’ expectations, which means that the industry is encountering difficulty in manufacturing and operation. In addition, due to the performance limitation of currently available tape stripping machines, the cost effectiveness is low. As for the design and analysis of the cellophane tape stripping machine, the designing of the glued cellophane tape heat transfer is an important task. The machine’s heat transfer property directly affects the size of the tape stripped and the speed of the stripping. It is clearly important that a more reliable and economical tape stripping machine be developed. Moreover, in order to analyze the heat transfer problem, this study uses a novel tape stripping machine that developed and manufactured specifically for this research as the research target, and applies the simulation software FLU-ENT 5.5 to simulate the heat temperature distribution of the heat transfer on the glued cellophane tape. By using the data as a reference for the manufacture and design of the tape stripping machine, the product yield rate can be increased. Keywords— tape stripping machine; temperature distribution

Read moreEffects of surface forces and surface roughness on squeeze thin film of elastohydrodynamic lubricated spherical conjunction
ABSTRACTThe pure squeeze thin film elastohydrodynamic lubrication motion of circular contacts with effects of surface forces and surface roughness taken into account is explored under constant load conditions. The coupled transient stochastic Reynolds, elasticity deformation, the load balance, surface forces (hydrodynamic, solvation and van der Waals pressure) and lubricant rheology equations were solved simultaneously by using the finite difference method and the Gauss–Seidel iteration method. The simulation results reveal that the differences between radial type roughness and circular type roughness problems are apparent as the film thickness is thinner than 5 nm. The oscillation phenomena in pressure and film thickness come mainly from the action of solvation forces. The effects of surface forces become significant as the film thickness becomes thinner. The film thickness with circular type roughness is thicker than that with radial type roughness. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
