A team of faculty members from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) has coordinated multidisciplinary courses in collaboration with universities from other countries. The team, who is composed by faculty from the School of Engineering and the School of Architecture, coordinates with pairs of Stanford University, the University of California at Berkeley, and the Technical University of Munich; to teach three particular design courses. All three courses are related to product innovation but they have different emphasis depending on the collaborating partner. The focal points of each of the three courses are: (1) innovation, (2) user centered design and sustainability and (3) transport in megacities of the future. Engineering and industrial design students are involved in the courses. They are organized in teams that include participants from the two collaborating universities. During the courses teams carry out projects working mostly at a distance; they use different means of communication and information sharing and also pay reciprocal visits between the universities involved in the collaboration. This paper describes each of the three courses highlighting their particular characteristics. The outcomes and results of the courses and specific projects are commented. In the end of the paper lessons learned are discussed and final remarks are presented.

Summary Krebs was born in Hildesheim (North Germany) and graduated (MD) from the University of Munich in 1923. He was assistant to Otto Warburg (1926–30) who taught tissue slicing and manometry which Krebs used to complete his three great works: The Detoxification of Ammonia (Freiburg im Breisgau 1933), The Degradation of Foods to provide Energy for Life (Sheffield 1937) and Gluconeogenesis (Oxford 1963). He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of London (FRS) in 1947, Nobel Laureate in 1953 and KBE in 1958.

This article discusses how Singapore is amassing a brain trust to compensate for resources that nature didn’t provide to it. CREATE or “Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise” is one of the most ambitious projects of Singapore’s National Research Foundation. CREATE seeks to unite Singapore’s universities with world-class research institutions to study issues ranging from urban planning to medical treatment. The organization has partnerships with 10 foreign universities, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Technical University of Munich, Cambridge University, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. There are five research groups in CREATE’s partnership with Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The research areas are infectious diseases, environmental sensing and modeling, biosystems and micromechanics, urban mobility, and low-energy electronic systems. The University of California, Berkeley, has two research programs with CREATE. One aims to improve the efficiency of buildings in the tropics, and the other is working on raising the electrical output of photovoltaic devices.

Intramolecular Diels-Alder Cycloaddition: Brombyin II (Lygo), Ptilocaulin (Livinghouse), Bistellettadine A (Snider), (-)-Pycnanthuquinone C (Trauner), (+)-Caribenol A (Li/Yang)

The biosynthesis of brombyin III 2 and brombyin II 3, racemic in their natural form, might logically be expected to proceed by thermal cyclization of 1. Barry Lygo of the University of Nottingham observed (Synlett 2010, 618) that the cyclization of 1 in toluene required 165°C. It is intriguing that on water in the presence of the detergent SDS, the cyclization proceeded smoothly at only slightly above ambient temperature. Intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition can also be promoted by transition metal catalysis. Tom Livinghouse of Montana State University optimized (Synlett 2010, 247) a Rh catalyst for the diastereoselective cyclization of the highly substituted Z -triene 4 to 5, setting the stage for the synthesis of ptilocaulin 6. It seemed plausible that the biosynthesis of bistellettadine A 9 was proceeding by intermolecular dimerization of the monomeric carboxylic acid corresponding to 7. Barry B. Snider of Brandeis University found (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 828) that intermolecular dimerization did proceed efficiently, but gave a 5:4 mixture of diastereomers. In contrast, the linked diester 7 cyclized with exclusive diastereocontrol. The product 8 was readily carried on to bistellettadine A 9. This raises the possibility that a chiral template, attached either covalently or through salt formation, could be designed that would direct the absolute configuration of the cycloaddition. It also seemed plausible that (-)-pycnanthuquinone 13 could be derived biosynthetically by cycloaddition of a triene 12, with one of the alkenes of the diene incorporated in a quinone. Dirk Trauner of the University of Munich prepared (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 6199) 12 by Heck coupling of the bromide 10 with commercial linalool 11. In mixed water/ toluene, the cyclization was followed by the addition of water and reoxidation, to directly deliver (-)-pycnanthuquinone 13. Related quinone cycloadditions have been reported (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 5554; Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 5116). Chuang-Chuang Li of the Shenzhen Graduate School and Zhen Yang of Peking University anticipated (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 13608) that it would be possible to prepare (+)-caribenol A 16 by the cyclization of the alkyne 14. Direct thermal cyclization of 14 was not effective, nor were Lewis acid catalysts.

Niklas Holzberg, a professor of Classics at the University of Munich until his retirement in 2011, offers a collection of lectures he held over a period of eleven years (2008–2019) in various parts of Germany, both at schools where Latin is taught and as part of advanced training programmes for those that teach it. His interpretations of the Latin texts in question, which are all required reading at grammar school level, focus on the classroom, that is, on the practicalities of learning and teaching. The Augustan poets Virgil, Horace and Ovid take up a large part of this volume, but still leave room for other genres that are introduced and illustrated using prominent exponents of each: Catullus and Martial (epigram); Pliny the Younger (epistle); Caesar, Sallust, Livy and Tacitus (history); and Petronius (novel). The principal intention of these papers, all of which draw on the most recent research into Latin literature, is to provide new impetus to reading material in the subject of Latin in schools.
