Palmer's landscapes are among the major achievements of the British genre in the first half of the nineteenth century. Though he was admired especially for his early intensely visionary landscapes, Palmer's later work is more conventional, showing greater concern both for naturalism and looking to the acknowledged seventeenth-century masters of landscape painting.
In Summer storm near Pulborough, Sussex black clouds have gathered, the wind has risen and driving rain is already falling, though there is a glimpse of distant sunshine. In the foreground a herdsman gestures to prevent his sheep stampeding off the road; his wife follows carrying a child on her back and beside her is an unhappy yet faithful dog. To the left, near a steadfast windmill and a ruined church, women scurry to retrieve their washing. At the edge of the darkness a horse-drawn wagon and a rider stoically proceed towards a farmhouse visible beyond the mill. Within the darkness, sunlight illuminates the travellers, the roadside stream and bridge. The streaming skirts of the woman, the flapping washing, flitting birds, waving trees and mounting clouds emphasise the force of wind and rain. In this way the artist builds and weaves tension and drama into his landscape.
Palmer's low-lying composition with its domineering clouds owes much to seventeenth-century Dutch Realism, which was a growing influence in the development of British landscape in the first half of the nineteenth century. Turner, Glover and Palmer himself, all of them loyal to the Italian landscape tradition, also relied on Dutch models for naturalistic depiction of weather. In its naturalism and weather effects, however, Palmer's painting also owes much to Constable's realism. Summer storm near Pulborough, Sussex is not only a study of weather. It is has religious resonances, pilgrims with their flock of sheep, possibly heading into a deluge.
Palmer began his training in watercolour painting at the age of thirteen. While still in his teens, he met the landscape and portrait painter Linnell who introduced him to the prints of Albrecht Dürer and Lucas van Leyden and, in 1824, to the ageing visionary William Blake. Palmer was deeply religious and he began to paint small, almost biblical, dreams of a pastoral paradise. He became the leader of a group of young artists known as the 'The Ancients' who were devoted to the Blake's work.1Palmer, even more than his fellow Ancients, deliberately turned his back on nineteenth-century progress. In 1837 Palmer married Linnell's daughter Hannah and the couple embarked on what was to become a very influential two-year stay in Italy, where the artist fell under the spell of the past Roman landscape painters Gaspard Dughet, Nicolas Poussin, Salvator Rosa and, above all, Claude Lorrain. The influence of those masters, and of Italian scenery, was to remain with him for the rest of his life, filtered through the Romanticism of his great contemporary, Turner.2

Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.
Skywing dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

Biology Explainer: The big 4 building blocks of life–carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and nucleic acids
- The four basic categories of molecules for building life are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
- Carbohydrates serve many purposes, from energy to structure to chemical communication, as monomers or polymers.
- Lipids, which are hydrophobic, also have different purposes, including energy storage, structure, and signaling.
- Proteins, made of amino acids in up to four structural levels, are involved in just about every process of life.
- The nucleic acids DNA and RNA consist of four nucleotide building blocks, and each has different purposes.
Double X Extra: A monomer is a building block (mono = one) and a polymer is a chain of monomers. With a few dozen monomers or building blocks, we get millions of different polymers. That may sound nutty until you think of the infinity of values that can be built using only the numbers 0 through 9 as building blocks or the intricate programming that is done using only a binary code of zeros and ones in different combinations.
Double X Extra: The specific reaction that hooks one monomer to another in a covalent bond is called dehydration synthesis because in making the bond–synthesizing the larger molecule–a molecule of water is removed (dehydration). The reverse is hydrolysis (hydro = water; lysis = breaking), which breaks the covalent bond by the addition of a molecule of water.
Double X Extra: We call a fatty acid a fatty acid because it's got a carboxylic acid attached to a fatty tail. A triglyceride consists of three of these fatty acids attached to a molecule called glycerol. Our dietary fat primarily consists of these triglycerides.
Double X Extra: A triglyceride can have up to three different fatty acids attached to it. Canola oil, for example, consists primarily of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid, all of which are unsaturated fatty acids with 18 carbons in their chains.
Double X Extra: A hormone is a blood-borne signaling molecule. It can be lipid based, like testosterone, or short protein, like insulin.
Biohazard!The names associated with nucleic acids can be confusing because they all start with nucle-. It may seem obvious or easy now, but a brain freeze on a test could mix you up. You need to fix in your mind that the shorter term (10 letters, four syllables), nucleotide, refers to the smaller molecule, the three-part building block. The longer term (12 characters, including the space, and five syllables), nucleic acid, which is inherent in the names DNA and RNA, designates the big, long molecule.

When I was younger I wore a watch. Today, I don't. I can check the time on my car dashboard, my oven, my microwave, my TV guide screen, my bedside alarm clock, my computer, my laptop, my tablet, and my smartphone. The idea of strapping an uncomfortable mini clock to my wrist is positively abhorrent. They irritate your skin; they break easily; and they don't have much to offer. Wristwatch production and wristwatch sales have been declining over the last few years for good reason. We don't need watches anymore. There are plenty of ways to check the time.
Lately, rumor has spread that Apple is experimenting with watch-like designs made of curved glass. Yep, Apple's making an iWatch. The watch will run iOS and likely communicate with the iPhone and iPad. We don't know anything else about it, really, but expect a tidal wave of speculation, faked spec sheets, renders of the potential design, and polls on how many people would pre-order one today at any price. The thing is, why do we need an iWatch anyway?
We all know that Apple will be producing something more than a simple timepiece, and smart watches have been generating a little interest in recent months. The incredibly well publicized Pebble smartwatch connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth, there's also the Cookoo, the Martian, and the Nike FuelBand for tracking exercise on your iPhone. Sony has even tried its hand at making an Android compatible SmartWatch.
Smartwatches aren't necessary
So what are these magical smart watches supposed to do? The short answer is, not enough.
The FuelBand isn't even a watch; it's more of a fitness companion. It tracks your motion based on your height and weight and gives you an estimate of steps taken, distance covered, and calories burned. It has lots of shiny LED lights, too. It can be used for exercise and then plugged in later via USB or wirelessly synced with an iOS app via Bluetooth. For $150, you might expect it to do a bit more. Why not invest $20 in a good exercise armband and just take your iPhone with you? That way you won't miss any important calls.
Smartwatches (so far) have relied on hooking up to your smartphone. Without a smartphone, they are near to completely useless. The Pebble, for example, can display things like incoming calls with caller ID, let you glance at emails and texts, calendar alerts, Facebook updates, and weather reports. The Cookoo does less, but has longer battery life. The Martian allows you to take calls through your watch.
In every case we're talking about having a watch that can perform a small subset of your phone's functionality. It's basically a wearable extension of your smartphone, which you'll need to keep in your pocket if you expect the smartwatch to work. And these devices drain your phone's battery faster, which is already a major sore point for all of us.
iWont buy this
Apple has really hit it out of the park in the past. If the iWatch, or whatever it will be called, is supposed to have the kind of impact that the iPod or the iPhone had then it will need to do a lot more than the current wave of smartwatches. If we're just talking about an accessory for your iPhone (and I bet we are), then it's hardly going to be the next big thing. I'm sure Apple will sell a bunch of them, but plenty of us will have no trouble resisting.
Even if we imagine the iWatch as a standalone device that runs iOS, the excitement and speculation about what it might do is perplexing when you consider that there are tasks it could do that your smartphone doesn't already perform well. If I could choose between my smartphone and a smartwatch that manages to pack the same functionality into something that's actually the size of a watch, I would still choose my smartphone. There's a reason smartphone screens keep getting bigger. You cannot perform most tasks on a tiny watch-sized screen.
Why would voice controls, navigation, NFC, the ability to use the device as a remote control, or any of these other currently available smartphone features suddenly be rendered awesome by being in a wristwatch? The iWatch is a device we think we want, but we don't really need and won't really use.
Apple needs a hit
If Apple is now, suddenly planning to release a smartwatch, it may be desperate. We've seen plenty of discussion about how Apple may be in trouble. The stock took a hit, iPhone 5 user satisfaction ranks fifth in the United States, and the company needs a new innovative product to stay on top. The iPad Mini was late to the party, the iOS platform is stagnating, and Tim Cook is not Steve Jobs. Apple is on the precipice of a decline. Is a watch really the answer?
What's the problem with a smartphone in your pocket?
I'll stick with the smartphone in my pocket. Having to reach in there and take a look at it is a price I'm prepared to pay for not having to wear something on my wrist, or on my ear for that matter (a Bluetooth headset could cover a lot of the same bases). Is having to reach into your pocket the only problem that smartwatches are solving? Maybe I'm missing something here. (Nick certainly thinks so.) Enlighten me. If you're excited at the prospect of an Apple watch or you can't wait to get your Pebble or another smartwatch then post a comment and tell us why. I don't get it.

Where the wild things go … when there's nowhere else
Posted February 28, 2013; 02:00 p.m.
Ecologists have evidence that some endangered primates and large cats faced with relentless human encroachment will seek sanctuary in the sultry thickets of mangrove and peat swamp forests. These harsh coastal biomes are characterized by thick vegetation — particularly clusters of salt-loving mangrove trees — and poor soil in the form of highly acidic peat, which is the waterlogged remains of partially decomposed leaves and wood. As such, swamp forests are among the few areas in many African and Asian countries that humans are relatively less interested in exploiting (though that is changing).
Yet conservationists have been slow to consider these tropical hideaways when keeping tabs on the distribution of threatened animals such as Sumatran orangutans and Javan leopards, according to a recent Princeton University study in the journal Folia Primatologica. To draw attention to peat and mangrove swamps as current — and possibly future — wildlife refuges, Katarzyna Nowak, a former postdoctoral researcher of ecology and evolutionary biology at Princeton, compiled a list of 60 primates and 20 felids (the large-cat family that includes tigers and leopards) known to divide their time between their natural forest habitats and some 47 swamp forests in Africa and Asia.
Princeton University research suggests that the presence of endangered cats and primates in swamp forests might be seriously overlooked. While a refuge, swamps have a lack of fresh water that makes life hard for animals such as the endangered Zanzibar red colobus monkey, pictured here drinking from a container of fresh water provided by locals. (Photo by Katarzyna Nowak)
Because swamp forests often lack food sources, fresh water and easy mobility, few mammals are exclusive to these areas, Nowak reported. Consequently, conservation groups have not intensely monitored the animals' swamp use.
But the presence of endangered cats and primates in swamp forests might be seriously overlooked, Nowak found. About 55 percent of Old World monkeys — primates such as baboons and macaques that are native to Africa and Asia — take to the swamps either regularly, seasonally or as needed. In 2008, the Wildlife Conservation Society reported that the inaccessible Lake Télé swamp forest in the Republic of the Congo was home to 125,000 lowland gorillas — more than were thought to exist in the wild. Among big cats, the Bengal tiger, for instance, holds its sole ground in Bangladesh in the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest.
The research compiled 21 swamp forests in Africa (left) and 26 in Asia where primates and felids (a large cat family that includes tigers and leopards) are known to seek refuge from human encroachment. The colored dots indicate the overall "threat score," or vulnerability, of species living in a particular site. Purple denotes a site with high species diversity, and where some resident primates and felids are likely listed as a conservation concern on the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. (Image by Katarzyna Nowak)
Life in the swamps can still be harsh for some animals. Species such as the crab-eating macaque and fishing cat can adapt somewhat readily to a life of swimming and foraging for crustaceans. Meanwhile, Zanzibar's red colobus monkey — driven to coastal mangroves by deforestation — can struggle to find the freshwater it needs, as Nowak reported in the American Journal of Primatology in 2008. Such a trend could result in local extinction of the red colobus nonetheless, she said.
Nowak concludes that swamp forests beg further exploration as places where endangered species such as lowland gorillas and flat-headed cats have preserved their numbers — and where humans could potentially preserve them into the future.

- Description
It is not just a big picture, is a moment of country life, with people, architecture and vegetation that make what is San Pellegrino Terme
Images gipan always arouse fascination and amazement, but unfortunately the images are devoid of content or do not add significant than the classic shot, I think that this technique should be a means, not an end.
Making an image gigapan, just to make it big, it's a waste of time and resources.
Making unnatural postcards to 180 ° can be used to create beautiful landscapes, but too often is a technique used only to put more shots in the final scene, creating a final composition unpleasant and unnatural.
said these circumstances, I explain why I made this picture.
The aim is to describe a country, a country is made of 3 components:
1) vegetation
2) Architecture
3) Country Life
The first two can be described with a classic shot, but the life of the country in its entirety is very difficult to observe.
You could photograph the fisherman on the bridge with the mountains behind, but it is certainly a reality other than tourists eating ice cream on a bench.
The only way to catch them all together was determined to create an image so you can capture all these realities together.
was born another huge U.S. problem, obtain the required resolution I should be so close to having to make a 180 °, convenient solution but it would cripple the architectural lines and natural landscape.
I decided to get away for only 30 ° of visual field, and climbed a telescope instead of the telephoto lens to get the magnification.
That is how the idea for this shot, you can see:
Family Cycling
older people who watch the river
boys kissing
Tourists who take the coffee
cyclists who train
elders who settle in the garden
details of the monuments
and more ...
Have fun

I love this gigapan pic.. beautiful place shot by a very talented photographer!
Grazie fabio, almeno mi hai tolto un dubbio, temevo non funzionasse la parte dei commenti. Io penso che immagine a parte si faranno una bella risata a leggere il mio inglese questi americani.

Arts neighborhood plan revised
Posted May 21, 2007; 09:00 a.m.
Princeton University has updated its concept plan for the Alexander Street/University Place neighborhood based on feedback from meetings with neighbors and local officials and comments received through the University's campus plan website.
"We have learned a great deal from these meetings and comments and from the many other discussions we have had about this area, which we now more accurately think of as an arts and transit neighborhood," wrote Robert Durkee, Princeton vice president and secretary, in a letter to local officials. "This more inclusive term underscores the importance of this area serving key transit needs for the community as well as for the University, in addition to providing expanded capacity for academic programs and performance in the arts."
A realigned intersection featuring a roundabout to ease traffic congestion continues to be part of the plan. A key change from the plan revealed earlier this year is the creation of a new public transit plaza between Alexander Street and a new Dinky station, just west of the Lot 7 garage. The plaza is intended to increase visibility of the station from Alexander Street and provide better access to the station, the parking garage and the relocated Wawa. The new Dinky station would provide such amenities as an indoor waiting area, restrooms, a newsstand and a coffee shop. As required by New Jersey Transit, it would also have the capacity to support bus rapid transit.
In his letter, Durkee acknowledged community concerns about the impact on those who walk to the Dinky station of the proposal to move its location about 460 feet to the south.
"We have taken a fresh look at whether there is any way to create an arts and transit neighborhood on this site and improve traffic flow in this area without moving the Dinky, but it is simply not possible," he wrote. "If the Dinky platform were to remain at its current location it would not be feasible to relocate the Wawa and, under the terms of our agreement with New Jersey Transit, it would not be possible to relocate the parking lot. One consequence of this would be a continuation of the same traffic patterns we have now, which would become worse if shuttle and jitney traffic were added, and even worse if bus rapid transit had to be accommodated at the existing station.
"In addition, based on further discussions with New Jersey Transit and our consultants, we believe that because of a number of legal and physical constraints it would not be possible to construct a grade crossing across the tracks into the Lot 7 garage to help meet the parking needs of the arts neighborhood," he continued. "With the Dinky platform, the Wawa and the parking lot remaining in their current locations and with no driveway into Lot 7, we would be unable to develop this area in any meaningful way for the arts or to make any significant improvements at the intersection of Alexander and University Place or in other transit patterns in the neighborhood."
Durkee noted that the University has participated in discussions with Princeton Borough about a plan to introduce a community jitney service that would provide service between the Dinky station and downtown. He said the University is supportive of the proposal and is "prepared to contribute to its costs."
The neighborhood design is being developed as part of a two-year effort to create a comprehensive plan for the campus that will guide development over the next 10 years and beyond. The area, already home to the McCarter Theatre Center's Matthews and Berlind theatres, is being considered as a location for various facilities the University will need to meet the goals of the new creative and performing arts initiative announced last year. The plan calls for new spaces for theater, dance, music, new media and an expansion of the art museum, along with some retail activity and a landscaped plaza.
"The idea," Durkee said, "will be to create a space that is attractive and welcoming to members of the community, students, visitors and others."

Shirley M. Tilghman and members of the University community look back on her accomplishments over her 12 years as the 19th president of the University. Read more.
Video Closed Captions
ROBERT RAWSON: I do solemnly
SHIRLEY M. TILGHMAN: I do
solemnly swear--
ROBERT RAWSON: That I
will faithfully,
impartially, and justly--
SHIRLEY M. TILGHMAN: That
I will faithfully,
impartially, and justly--
ROBERT RAWSON: Perform the duties of
the office of President of
Princeton University--
SHIRLEY M. TILGHMAN: Perform the
duties of the office of
President of Princeton
ROBERT RAWSON: To the best
of my ability--
SHIRLEY M. TILGHMAN: To the
best of my ability--
ROBERT RAWSON: So help me God.
So help me, God.
NANCY MALKIEL: I know the story
that she was a member of
the search committee, and one
day when she left to go to
teach, the other members of
the committee took the
opportunity to talk about what
was obviously on their minds,
which is that they should invite
her to step off the
committee and be considered
as a candidate herself.
VALERIE SMITH: Shirley brought a
real intellectual generosity
and openness to the position of
the presidency, and I think
we see that in the extraordinary
growth and
expansion of so many different
areas of the campus--
the arts, the study of
the environment,
African American studies.
The list goes on and on.
SHIRLEY M. TILGHMAN: I've often
described the role of the
president of the university
as someone who is both the
greatest fan and the
greatest critic.
And I think in the case of
Princeton, one of the most
challenging things for a
president is to look at the
University without rose
covered glasses.
KATHRYN HALL: You know, there's so
many things that can happen
that are unexpected in
any new presidency.
And in fact, Shirley, even
before the official
installation, had to face, and
the university had to face,
the tragedy of 9/11.
But Shirley was able to approach
that tragedy in the
way she that she does everything
with warmth, with
understanding, with the
capacity to lead our
university through that very,
very, very difficult and
troubling time.
In fact, we're here today right
now talking in the 9/11
Memorial Garden where 13 alumni
who died on that day
are memorialized.
SHIRLEY M. TILGHMAN: Today, we
gather as a community to
remember those who are missing
or who have been lost in the
tragic events in New York,
Washington, and Pennsylvania.
We grieve most especially for
those we knew personally--
family members, friends,
and colleagues.
NANCY MALKIEL: To have a faculty
member like that, so
admired and so well-known across
the campus, be selected
as president was simply
exhilarating, and to have it
be a woman for the first
time at Princeton was
just an added bonus.
SHIRLEY M. TILGHMAN: Princeton is a
remarkable place, and it has
been so for many years.
But it is really important that
it not fall in love with
its propaganda, or its history,
or its reputation,
but be constantly critical of
what we are doing and how we
can do it so much better.
And that's really how I've tried
to think about my 12
years as president, to be able
to see Princeton clearly and
to see where the cracks
in the armor are.
CHRISTOPHER L. EISGRUBER: When
I think about Shirley
Tilghman's legacy, I think about
what she's added to the
social capital of
our university.
And some of that's been done
through the kinds of programs
that she's created in the arts
and other initiatives, but
some of it has been through
force of personality and her
She has this stunning
combination of charm and
engagement and genuine passion
for the mission of Princeton
University, where she's led by
example by being out there on
the campus all the time, and I
think you can feel that in the
spirit of the place.
And when I walk around Princeton
and think about what
Shirley has done for this
university, that's what I
think about most.
JEFF NUNOKAWA: This, as I
understand it, is more or less
the beginning of what will be
Tilghman Walk, which will
traverse the world of the arts,
the infrastructure, the
architectural infrastructure of
the arts, over to the realm
of the sciences.
And that's, for starters, what
Shirley's all about.
I should say that's one of
Shirley's, one could argue, at
the heart of her accomplishment
as president.
One of the things I think
Shirley has done during her
tenure as president is draw
together all kinds of
constituencies, all kinds of
sensibilities, all kinds of
scholars, all kinds
of energies--
artistic, scientific energies
which had not been brought
together before.
This is what Shirley does.
It's what she knows how to do as
a person, and it's what she
knew how to do as a president.
SHIRLEY M. TILGHMAN: I think from
really day one, the day I
walked into the office, I knew
that one of the things I was
going to promote is the growth
in neuroscience.
The surprise for me was what I
discovered in the course of
walking around, were the
limitations for students who
wanted to pursue the creative
and the performing arts.
Now, that was an area of the
university I really knew very
little about when I first
became president, but it
became pretty clear that we were
not serving our students
in the creative and the
performing arts to the extent
that they deserved.
And that began a long process
of beginning to understand
what our programs were, where
we needed to grow, where we
needed to become stronger.
And ultimately, thanks to Peter
Lewis, Princeton's great
benefactor, we were able to
create the Lewis Center for
the Arts and ultimately expand in
visual arts, theater, dance,
creative writing, and music
opportunities for students.
So that today when you walk
around this campus, you just
literally cannot avoid
being part of a great
community of art.
KATHRYN HALL: When the
financial crisis hit in the
fall of 2008, Princeton, like
every other institution, had
to really face some
important choices.
Shirley, with her leadership,
helped Princeton navigate
through that really
difficult time.
SHIRLEY M. TILGHMAN: Those
headlines in the New York
Times just give you the smallest
idea of the impact of
the economic recession.
We have common cause, and that
is that all of us have been
affected by the equivalent of
an economic tsunami, the
perfect storm, where those
institutions with endowments
have seen a decline
in their value.
And all of us who are in the
business of raising resources
for our institutions know that
this is a very, very difficult
time to be asking people to give
to the things that they
care most about.
So this is indeed the
perfect storm.
Good evening.
Good evening.
Good evening.
SHIRLEY M. TILGHMAN: Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Together, you've helped to
ensure that future generations
of Princetonians will continue
to receive the finest
education of its kind, and thus
equipped, will continue
to make our world a better
place for all.
SHIRLEY M. TILGHMAN: Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
CHRISTOPHER L. EISGRUBER: You
can see Shirley Tilghman's
legacy as you walk through the
Princeton campus with the new
buildings that have risen during
her time here and the
extraordinary programs that
reside within them.
And I think about everything
from the residential colleges
to the Neuroscience Institute,
the arts project that is
arising at the edge of our
campus and that will connect
Forbes to the rest of the
campus, the beautiful Lewis
Library, and Sherrerd Hall,
for example, up by
SHIRLEY M. TILGHMAN: Thinking about
engineering as a problem
solving part of the university
rather than individual
disciplines has been, I think,
a big part of the change and
the growth in the engineering
school over
the last few years.
Probably the most important
has been tackling the twin
issues of solving our energy
problems for the future and
protecting the environment.
So the Andlinger Center, which
was made possible, again, by a
great benefactor to the
university, Gary Andlinger, is
involving all of the departments
within the
engineering school, as well as
the Woodrow Wilson School and
departments in the
natural sciences.
The other area where we have
really focused a lot is in
thinking about the university
as one of the world's great
global universities.
It is a pleasure for me to be
here in Shanghai to engage in
this conversation that was
really inspired by William
Fung, who was a member of the
Class of 1970 at Princeton and
currently a trustee
of the university.
I think he described brilliantly
the rationale for
these conferences that we hope
to have in cities around the
world in the years to come.
It's really intended to
spark conversation.
Whether it's in Asia or in
Europe or in the United
States, Princeton is always
ranked as one of the world's
great universities, and if
that's going to continue to be
true, we have to behave like
a global university.
We have to think of ourself as
a global university, and that
means we have to be in the
world and of the world.
And so a lot of what we have
done by creating PIIRS
by creating the Bridge Year
program, by expanding study
abroad, summer global seminars,
on and on and on,
has been to make sure that our
faculty and our students are
going out into the world, and
that we are bringing the world
back to Princeton.
JEFF NUNOKAWA: I saw her at
a meeting of the faculty
recently where the faculty stood
up to acknowledge her.
And what I think was most
impressive to me was the range
of faculty there to approbate
her, the range of faculty to
approbate her from the heart.
This is a woman, a president,
a scholar, who values
scholarship of all
different kinds.
I just have difficulty imagining
how we could have
been luckier, as a university,
how we could have been luckier
than to have had Shirley at the
moment that we had her,
especially, I suppose.
KATHRYN HALL: It's a
superhuman job, and I think
that we have been very lucky
to have had Shirley in that
role, and we are extremely
fortunate to have Chris
Eisgruber coming up as
our 20th president.
SHIRLEY M. TILGHMAN: Has this
been a challenging job?
It's been a very challenging
job, but it's been a job that
has been immensely rewarding,
and I think that is what I
have focused in on rather than
focusing in on the challenges
as a negative, for example.
JEFF NUNOKAWA: There's just one
other thing I really want
to say, because it's
really important.
It's important to lot of us.
Shirley Tilghman is returning.
She's returning to our ranks.
She's returning to where her
heart has never left, and that
is the faculty of
this university.
VALERIE SMITH: I think as a
university, we are very
fortunate that Shirley will
return to full time teaching
after her leave.
Teaching is so close to her
heart and such an important
passion for her, and I think
we'll all benefit as a
community from being able to
have her wisdom in that role.
JEFF NUNOKAWA: Shirley's
coming home.
That's what I'd say.
She's not retiring.
She's coming home.
SHIRLEY M. TILGHMAN: I've
loved this job.
I've loved it from the moment
I began to, I'm sure, when I
step off the stage on June 30.
It's been immensely rewarding.
It's great to see progress in
real time and to be able to
see the university get better
each and every day.
So I've just taken a lot
of pleasure from it.
Shirley M. Tilghman: Aim high, and be bold

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) means abnormally high blood pressure inside the lungs. PH is a rare blood vessel disorder of the lungs, in which the pressure in the pulmonary arteries rises above normal levels and may become life threatening.
The right ventricle (lower right heart chamber) pumps blood through your pulmonary arteries into your lungs. When the pressures are abnormally high, the right ventricle has to work harder to pump against this pressure. Over time, the right ventricle may become tired and not function as well as it should. The right heart catheterization, echocardiogram and cardiac MRI that you may be asked to get help your medical team to determine the function of your right ventricle and how to best treat you with medications.
You may hear people talk about PAH. PAH stands for pulmonary arterial hypertension. Although there is a technical and physiologic difference in meaning between PH and PAH, most people, including medical providers, will use these acronyms interchangeably.
Symptoms of PH may include:
If your doctor thinks you might have pulmonary hypertension, he or she will suggest that you have some tests done at the hospital. These tests help the doctor know if you have PH and, later on, whether the medicines that you take are making your PH better.
Some of these tests are:
Six-Minute Walk: This test looks at how far you can walk in six minutes and how much oxygen is in your blood before, during and after the test. During this test, you will walk up and down a hallway for 6 minutes.
Echo-Cardiogram (ECHO): This is a special ultrasound machine that takes pictures of your heart. You will put on a hospital gown and lie on your back. The echo tech will place a little bit of gel on your chest and use a special piece of equipment to take pictures of your heart. These pictures will show your doctor how well your heart is pumping and estimate how high the blood pressure is in your pulmonary artery. This test can take a long time - it often takes 45 minutes to an hour.
EKG: This test shows doctors the rhythm of your heart and gives the doctor a rough measure of the thickness of the chambers of your heart. For this test, stickers are put on your chest that are connected to a computer. The computer makes pictures of your heart rhythm. This test only takes a few minutes.
Cardiac Catheterization: This is a procedure in which your doctor uses a small plastic catheter to directly measure the blood pressure in your heart and lungs and to see how well your heart is working. The procedure takes several hours and you may need to spend the night in the hospital afterwards. A right heart cardiac catheterization is one of the most accurate and useful tests for diagnosing PH.
Idiopathic PH "Idiopathic" means unexplained, or in other words, the doctors do not know what caused or is causing the disease. Sometimes you will hear medical providers use the term, "primary pulmonary hypertension" for idiopathic PH.
Familial PH If more than one person in your family has PH, then you are said to have familial PH. A gene has been identified and linked to the cause of PH.
PH can also be associated with other diseases or illnesses including:
Learn more about these associated conditions
You should know what type of PH you have. If you don't know, please discuss this with your medical team, and they will review this with you.
There are a number of treatments for PH.
These medications work in different ways, but all of them try to dilate (relax) the pulmonary arteries. Depending on the medication, you might take it in different ways – your doctor can tell you more about how these medicines can help you and how you take them.

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This is a pilot study of treatment of acute HIV infection with a once daily regimen of Emtricitabine, Tenofovir and Efavirenz. The primary objectives of this study are:
- To determine the safety and tolerability, and the virologic and immunologic efficacy of FTC, TDF, and efavirenz given once daily to patients with acute HIV infection.
- To assess the impact of once daily therapy combined with a standardized adherence program on treatment adherence, virologic suppression, and rate of viral load decline in blood and infectious fluids (semen, cervico-vaginal secretions).
- To define the prevalence of genotypic and phenotypic resistance to antiretroviral agents among persons diagnosed with acute HIV infection in the Southeastern United States.
Acute HIV Infection

Drug: Atripla
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|CID 0805 - Treatment of Acute HIV Infection With a Once Daily Regimen of Emtricitabine, Tenofovir and Efavirenz - A Pilot Study of Response to Therapy and HIV Pathogenesis
- To determine the safety and tolerability, and the virologic and immunologic efficacy of FTC/TDF, and efavirenz or the fixed-dose combination of efavirenz/FTC/TDF (Atripla) given once daily to patients with acute HIV infection. [ Time Frame: 2 years from last study visit ]
- To assess impact of once daily therapy combined with a standardized adherence program on treatment adherence, virologic suppression, and rate of viral load decline in blood and infectious fluids (cerebrospinal fluid, semen, and vaginal secretions). [ Time Frame: 2 years from last study visit ]
- To define the prevalence of genotypic and phenotypic resistance to antiretroviral agents among persons diagnosed with acute HIV infection in the Southeastern United States. [ Time Frame: 2 years from last study visit ]
|Study Start Date:
|January 2005
|Study Completion Date:
|December 2013
|Primary Completion Date:
|November 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Drug: Atripla
- Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF, Viread®)
- Emtricitabine (FTC, Emtriva®)
- Fixed dose combination Emtricitabine 200 mg with tenofovir 300 mg (Truvada®)
- Efavirenz (DMP-266; Sustiva®)
- Fixed dose combination Emtricitabine 200 mg, Tenofovir 300 mg DF and Efavirenz 600 mg tablets (AtriplaTM)
Hypothesis: Once daily HAART with FTC/TDF (FDC, Truvada) + EFV administered as a single dose pill called Atripla will reduce viral replication to <400 copies RNA/ml plasma in blood and other body compartments in patients with acute HIV infection, reducing infectivity, and permitting generation of HIV-specific immune responses. The treatment regimen will be well tolerated and any lipid profile changes will be modest during treatment follow-up. A coordinated program of counseling and support will facilitate adherence and promote successful therapy. Prevalence of transmitted drug resistant HIV-1 will be assessed.
Study Design: Multi-center, prospective, single-arm pilot study of FTC/TDF/EFV in patients with acute HIV infection. Study sites will be members of the Duke-UNC Acute HIV Infection Study Consortium. Patients will be followed intensively for the first year with continued follow-up for an additional year pending developments on treatment cessation approaches for patients with suppressed virus and effective immune responses.

Women who are using oral, implanted, or injectable contraceptive hormones or mechanical products such as an intrauterine device or barrier methods (diaphragm, condoms, spermicides) to prevent pregnancy or practicing abstinence or where partner is sterile (e.g., vasectomy), should be considered to be of child bearing potential;
- Be willing to use two effective forms of contraception throughout study. Barrier contraception should always be used in combination with other methods of contraception (oral or other hormonal contraceptives);
- Weigh >/= 40 kg;
Exclusion Criteria:
- A life expectancy less than twelve months.
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Women with a positive pregnancy test on enrollment or prior to study drug administration.
- WOCBP who are unwilling or unable to use two acceptable methods to avoid pregnancy for the entire study period
- WOCBP using a prohibited contraceptive method
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation of study drugs.
- A clinically important illness not explicitly excluded by the protocol, a physical or psychiatric disability, or a laboratory abnormality that might place the patient at increased risk by being exposed to the medications in this study or which might confound the interpretation of this investigation.
- Proven or suspected acute hepatitis within 30 days prior to study entry (this excludes liver inflammation related to acute HIV infection).

AIDS-defining events occurring during the acute HIV infection syndrome period such as Candida esophagitis will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will not be automatically considered exclusionary).
- Inability to communicate effectively with study personnel.
- Current alcohol or recreational drug use which in the investigator's opinion interferes with the subject's ability to comply with dosing schedule and protocol evaluations or increases the risk of developing pancreatitis.
- Incarceration; prisoner recruitment and participation are not permitted.
- Difficulty swallowing capsules/tablets.
- Prior treatment with any other experimental drug for any indication (within 30 days of initiating study treatment).
- Treatment with immune-modulating agents (within 30 days of initiating study treatment) such as cyclosporine and systemic corticosteroids. Routine vaccinations are allowed.
