ge

Die Brücke or The Bridge --> Named for a passage in [Thus Spake Zarathustra]], this group's seminal works include Max Pechstein's The Harbor and Otto Mueller's Nudes on a Beach.
Berlin Street Scene or Berliner Strassenszene --> In this 1913 painting a founding member of Die Brücke, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, depicts the claustrophobia of modern life and the movement of passers-by in the title city. [1]
Emil Nolde --> Perhaps best known for his 1909 version of The Last Supper, this often solitary painter specialized in woodcuts and mystical depictions of the Seebull landscape. [2]
Hosokawa Katsumoto --> He became kanrei in 1452, and soon found himself in opposition to a figure known as the "Red Monk", Yamana Mochitoyo. Name this man, who served as Prime Minister of Japan until 1464.
the Onin War --> The antagonism between Hosokawa and Yamana led to this war, which broke out in 1467. Kyoto was more or less destroyed during the decade of fighting.
Ashikaga --> Hosokawa served as a prime minister for Yoshimasa, a shogun from this family whose power ended with the overthrow of Yoshiaki in 1573. [3]
partition function --> Denoted "z", this quantity counts states with a particular weight. In the canonical ensemble, that weight is e to the minus beta times the energy.
Boltzmann factor --> The aforementioned canonical weight, e to the minus beta E, carries this name, associated with an Austrian physicist who with Maxwell lends his name to the statistics of distinguishable particles.
Legendre transformation --> Thermodynamic variables often have mathematical relationships of this form, described by the equation f of x plus g of y equals x y. For instance, the Helmholtz free energy F is the total energy E minus temperature times entropy. [4]
Bellona
Enyo --> Bellona was the Roman equivalent of this Greek goddess, whose name means "horror" and who was honored with the epithet "Destroyer of Cities."
the Graeae or Gray Ones --> Enyo was a member of this mythical group, whose other members included Pemphredo and Deino. Perseus stole an item which was very dear to them in order to obtain some information. [5]
Poor White --> Hugh McVey becomes a station agent for a railroad after being taken in by Henry and Sarah Shepard. Name this 1920 novel about an inventor who marries Clara Butterworth.
Sherwood Anderson --> This author of Many Marriages and Windy McPherson's Son wrote Poor White.
Dark Laughter --> In this 1925 novel by Sherwood Anderson, Bruce Dudley has an affair with Aline Grey; the titular noise is evoked when they leave town together. [6]
The Philadelphia Story --> it features the characters Liz Imbrie and Macauley Connor, who both work for "Spy" Magazine. Name this film, whose main character is preparing to marry George Kittredge.
James "Jimmy" Stewart --> This actor won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Macauley Connor in The Philadelphia Story.
High Society --> In 1956 The Philadelphia Story was remade as this musical, which featured Grace Kelly in the role played by Katharine Hepburn in the far superior original. [7]
the Chinese Exclusion Act --> It was renewed ten years later by the Geary Act, which prohibited a certain group from getting bail through a habeas corpus proceeding. Name this act, which passed two years after an earlier treaty had been renegotiated by James Angell.
the Burlingame Treaty --> The Chinese Exclusion Act reversed this treaty of 1868, which had actually encouraged Chinese immigration to the U.S.
the Magnuson Act --> This 1943 act finally repealed the Chinese Exclusion Act, though it instituted a quota of 105 Chinese people allowed to enter the country. [8]
The Sceptical Chymist or Chymico-Physical Doubts & Paradoxes --> Thsi 1661 work by Robert Boyle is often regarded as inaugurating the modern chemical sciences, as it advocates abandoning the secrecy of alchemy, and argues that four elements are just not enough to explain everything. [9]
The Chemical History of a Candle --> This series of lectures by Michael Faraday on the chemistry of combustion began the tradition of Christmas lectures at the Royal Institution. In 1861, they were collected and published as a book.
The Nature of the Chemical Bond and the Structure of Molecules and Crystals; An Introduction to Modern Structural Chemistry --> This book by Linus Pauling was based primarily on a 1931 paper of the same name. While much of the discussion of the title concept has been superseded by more modern theories, later editions remain popular as an introductory chemistry text. [10]
Pillars of Heracles --> Either Monte Hacho or Jebel Musa comprises the southern half of what pair of promontories named for a Greek mythological hero?
Ceuta --> Monte Hacho is located within what exclave of Spain?

the Durham Report or the Report on the Affairs of British North America --> It was issued by John George Lambton, who had been sent to investigate the causes of some rebellions of the 1830s. Name this document, which proposed that two colonies be united and which recommended that certain liberties granted in 1763 and 1774 be withdrawn.
Louis-Joseph Papineau --> The disparagement of French Canadian culture in the Durham Report enraged this leader of Lower Canada, who from his exile in France wrote a History of the Insurrection in Canada to dispute the Report's findings.
the Russell Resolutions (named for Lord John Russell) --> The Lower Canada Rebellion took place after the British Parliament responded to Papineau's Ninety-Two Resolutions with this group of ten "Resolutions" of its own, rejecting everything the Legislative Assembly had asked for. [14]
entelechy --> Introduced in Aristotle's Metaphysics, this word denotes the perfect state toward which each thing tends; it comes from a Greek word for "complete".
hylomorphism --> Book Z of the Metaphysics presents this theory, which claims that every material thing is made up of two principles, form and matter. Part of this word comes from a Greek term for "wood."
eudaimonia --> In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle argues that this is the goal of life per se. This Greek term is often translated as "happiness," though that fails to capture the notion of excellence which it implies. [15]
The Soldier's Story or L'Histoire du Soldat --> Its opening scene is set in a wood, where the title character trades his violin to the Devil for a book. Name this ballet, which also includes scenes set in Joseph's village and at his office, where an old woman offers to sell him his old violin. [16]

Xavier Herbert --> His novels include the autobiographical Seven Emus, but he is better known for a book written with his wife Sadie Norton. Name this Australian author, who attacked the poor treatment of Aborigines in 1975's Poor Fellow My Country.
Thomas Keneally --> Speaking of writers who were pissed off by the treatment of Aborigines, this author of Confederates wrote about an Aborigine who goes mad because of prejudice in his The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith.
Patrick White --> Aborigines may or may not appear in this man's first novel, Happy Valley, and probably don't appear in his The Eye of the Storm or Voss. [18]
Heap --> Priority queues are an abstract [[data structure used in many algorithms. This data structure is implemented as a binary tree encoded into an array, where the children of a node are either all less than or all greater than the parent.
Bucket Queue --> This data structure approximates a priority queue, in that elements within a designated interval of priorities are considered to have the same priority. This approximation allows constant time enqueuing and dequeuing.
Fibonacci Heap --> Fredman and Tarjan invented this type of heap with enqueue and dequeue operations that work in amortized constant time. [19]
Cholula --> Toward the end of their empire, Aztec rulers would travel to this city to be anointed by its priests. Name this second-largest Aztec city, which was home to an enormous "Great Pyramid" and which was the site of an infamout 1519 massacre.
Teotihuacan --> Cholula was second among Aztec cities to this metropolis, which was home to a Pyramid of the Sun and the scenic Avenue of the Dead.
Cacaxtla --> Prior to the Aztecs, Cholula was inhabited by a culture which disappeared around 600 AD, at which point this city became the major power in the Puebla valley. It is home to a defensive structure known as the Gran Basamento and may have been the capital of an Olmeca-Xicalanca tribe. [20]
Giovanni Papini --> This author of 1906's The Twilight of the Philosophers founded the Futurist magazine Lacerba before becoming a Catholic and writing books like Life of Christ.
Ignazio Silone or Secondo Tranquilli --> Giovanni Papini wrote a book called Bread and Wine, as did this Communist author of The School for Dictators and A Handful of Blackberries. [21]

The production of alcohols after diazotization of the starting material in the Demyanov reaction proceeds through the creation of these compounds. They can undergo Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement to produce more stable ones. Examples include the Wheland intermediate, produced during electrophilic aromatic substitution by the addition of the electrophile. Their relative stabilities can be justified by invoking hyperconjugation to explain why tertiary ones are more stable than secondary and primary ones.
