Two weeks after the premiere of Mahler’s Eighth Symphony, Max Reinhardt produced Hofmannsthal’s adaption of Sophocles’ King Ödipus (in some respects an aesthetic counterpart to Mahler’s Symphony) in the very same ‘Musikfesthalle’. The byname Symphony of a Thousand seems to have been influenced by Reinhardt’s idea of ‘a new people’s theatre, a theatre of the Five Thousand; as he called it, a theatre for the masses’. Mahler’s vision of an integral work of art as well as Roller’s innovative ideas about a comprehensive stage design converges remarkably with Reinhardt’s theatre work. Mahler’s Eighth is a ‘prototype of the Symphonic Drama’, one of the most prominent and influential examples within the entire tradition of the symphony. In this regard Mahler was as much a visionary for a new understanding of the symphony as Reinhardt was for a new concept of theatre.

The author is interested in the phenomena of kitsch that can be found in various dimensions of modern life. The question that can be asked nowadays is: ?Is there any segment of modern life without kitsch?? We could say that there is not only a phenomenon of the kitsch-subject but also of the kitsch-object that entered modern society. Kitsch-subject is often defined as a person who sees the value as in a kitschy way. That person usually thinks that a work of art is of the same value as an expensive car or Persian carpet and buys these objects in order to gain in reputation. So he(she) usually decides to decorate his house and office with a lot of expensive paintings, books and furniture. In that way the kitsch-subject becomes a kitsch-object because he becomes a victim and a ?slave? of all these objects. It is well-known that even the greatest authors sometimes create for the masses of people and add to the works some segments in order to make people buy the objects they made. So, the author is trying to point out that kitsch is a very common phenomenon that can be displayed in many different ways.

With respect to structural consequences within a material, energetic electrons, above a threshold value of energy characteristic of a particular material, produce vacancy-interstial pairs (Frenkel pairs) by displacement of individual atoms, as illustrated for several materials in Table 1. Ion projectiles produce cascades of Frenkel pairs. Such displacement cascades result from high energy primary knock-on atoms which produce many secondary defects. These defects rearrange to form a variety of defect complexes on the time scale of tens of picoseconds following the primary displacement. A convenient measure of the extent of irradiation damage, both for electrons and ions, is the number of displacements per atom (dpa). 1 dpa means, on average, each atom in the irradiated region of material has been displaced once from its original lattice position. Displacement rate (dpa/s) is proportional to particle flux (cm-2s-1), the proportionality factor being the “displacement cross-section” σD (cm2). The cross-section σD depends mainly on the masses of target and projectile and on the kinetic energy of the projectile particle.

SummaryWhen heparinised blood is rotated in a glass flask at 37°C. the white cell count falls and it has been shown that this is due to the adherence and aggregation of polymorphonuclear white cells on the wall of the flask. The masses formed bear a close structural resemblance to thrombi and the mechanisms involved in white cell loss during rotation may therefore increase our knowledge of the thrombotic process.
