	Gothic Revival
		The pious and chivalrous ideals of the Middle Ages were especially popular during the early 1800s, leading to the revival of the Gothic style in literature, architecture and the decorative arts.
		Of hand-chased gold with a natural pearl emanating from his mouth like cool fire, this beguiling variation of a griffin-chimera is poised in midair, its scaly body coiling, eagle wings spread and leonine head with glittering emerald eye set in a menacing pose.
		Because there were few, if any, examples of Medieval jewelry available to imitate, jewelers turned to Gothic architecture for inspiration, giving Gothic revival style jewelry a decidedly structural look.

		At day 28 after BMT ( a), lungs from GFP BM chimera mice revealed essentially normal lung architecture and no evidence of pneumonitis.
		Representative lung sections from GFP BM chimera mice were examined on day 28 ( a and c) and day 56 ( b and d) after BMT, by light microscopy ( a and b, HandE-stained sections) and fluorescence microscopy ( c and d).
		At day 28 after BLM injection (BMT day 28/BLM day 28), BM chimera

		East Berlin’s Stalinallee showcased the material and cultural rewards of a socialist good life slated for distribution among an ever-widening circle of citizens, a Socialist Realist narrative that proved to be a chimera.
		This unacknowledged process element of cross-fertilization, which was dissimulated by stylistic disparity, remained integral to the hostile symbiosis of International Modernism and Socialist Realism until the late 1950s, when the architecture of Khrushchevian reform looked westward, demolishing the aesthetic autonomy of “high” Stalinism.
		Both the Stalinallee and Interbau extrapolated cold war ideology into specimens of urban totality in which postwar identities could be lived out and displayed.

	Control Choices and Network Effects in Hypertext Systems
		Monolithic hypertext systems, motivated by a desire to keep their information base internally consistent, and to provide a consistent user interface, have an architecture which tightly controls the data, hypertext structure, and user interface of the system.
		Three classes of hypertext systems, monolithic, open, and Web are analyzed from the perspective of the control decisions embedded in their architectures, and how these control decisions led to differing levels of network effects.
		For most open hypermedia systems (a non-exhaustive list includes DHM [Gronbaek et al., 1993], Hyperform [Wiil, Leggett, 1992], Microcosm [Davis et al., 1992], Multicard [Rizk, Sauter, 1992], and Chimera [Anderson et al., 1994]), a key quality of openness is the support of the heterogeneous tools which populate a user's computing environment.

		Each system is described by their developers in sufficient detail so that the reader can get a good understanding of the architecture, functionality, and application areas of the system.
		Using Chimera, you can write sophisticated multi-agent applications which can run on multiple machines across any TCP/IP network, from a small home setup to the entire Internet.
		These systems prove that agent technology is mature enough to permit the development of sophisticated applications, like electronic marketplaces, environments for computer-supported cooperative work, or transportation systems.

	Literary Terms and Definitions C
		COMPOSITE MONSTER (in architecture, often called a "chimera" after the Greek monster): The term is one mythologists use to describe the fantastical creatures in Assyrian, Babylonian, Greek, and medieval European legends in which the beast is composed of the body-parts of various animals.
		Common cases include the nominative, the accusative, the genitive, the dative, the ablative, the vocative, and the instrumental forms.
		The technique is common in epic literature, where conventionally the poet would devise long lists of famous princes, aristocrats, warriors, and mythic heroes to be lined up in battle and slaughtered.

	(RE)EXAMINING THE CITICORP CASE: Ethical Paragon or Chimera
		This lecture was co-sponsored by the CSEP, College of Architecture and the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering and was part of the Ethics Center’s 20th anniversary celebration.
		LeMessurier was not only aware of the false public statement, he had supplied the kernel of truth regarding new data on marginally higher likely wind speeds that was then spuriously used as the explanation for the remedial welding of two-inch-thick by six-foot-long steel plates over hundreds of bolted joints in the structural frame.
		LeMessurier acknowledges that his analyses undertaken after the building was completed and occupied revealed that quartering winds produced far higher stresses in the diagonal members than had been understood.

		Similarly, in what is a non-mimetic art (or in what can be thought of as a non -mimetic art anyway), as in music or architecture, the more the imaginative associations and social functions of the work dominate the art work and controls the response, the more distinctly emotional that response is apt to be.
		There are those for whom response to the fine arts is indelibly emotional and who will always think and talk about it in those terms and for whom what is described as the "aesthetic experience" is a chimera that has no reality for them.
		One difficulty with an emotive understanding of the response to fine art is that it produces an image of a spectator subject to the most extraordinarily capricious and whimsical emotional life, one that certainly carries with it no implication of emotional control or depth.

	Arezzo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It may have been one of the twelve most important Etruscan cities, the so-called Dodecapolis; the famous Chimera of Arezzo, now in Florence, was found here.
		During the Middle Ages, much of its earlier architecture was dismantled to reuse the stones for fortifications.
		As Arretium it was a flourishing city in the days of the Roman Empire, well-known in particular for its pottery manufactures (Arezzo ware, bucchero).
