One sketch by this artist depicts the "Intersection of Roads" at the Belgian war zone of Neufchateau, while another shows a boy carving wooden shoes in Brittany, entitled The Young Sabot Maker. He married the San Francisco-based opera singer Jessie Olssen and, late in life, composed the autobiography The Story of an Artist's Life. His patron Rodman Wanamaker financed his two trips to the Holy Land, which became a prominent theme in his work, after viewing his painting The Resurrection of Lazarus. Two people sit at a small table with their hands on their foreheads in prayer in The Thankful Poor, while his most famous work shows a boy sitting on the lap of his grandfather with his hands around the namesake instrument, inspired by a work of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. FTP, name this artist of The Banjo Lesson, a realist painter of the late 19th century and an early African-American artist. ANSWER: Henry Ossawa Tanner 2. The small intestine-ravaging celiac disease is usually characterized by the presence of one of this entity's associated molecules, DQ alpha 1, whose organization is overseen by the CLIP protein. A 1995 study indicated oral contraceptives may block one function of this entity, which accounted for the olfactory preferences of a group of coeds according to Wedekind's “sweaty t-shirt experiment.” Molecules associated with this entity are bound by calreticulin and tapasin and loaded with peptides in the endoplasmic reticulum, and like V(D)J recombination, it is a defining characteristic of gnathostomata. One manifestation of it is bounded by MOG and COL11A2, and is sometimes known as HLA. The third class of this highly polymorphic entity is associated with the formation of factor B and other aspects of the complement system. The densest region of the mammalian genome, it is found on chromosome 6 in humans. FTP, identify this genomic region found in most vertebrates, whose name suggests its central importance in facilitating antigen presentation in the immune system. ANSWER: MHC or Major Histocompatibility Complex 3. We learn that this novel’s protagonist drinks a glass of sherry every Sunday in the library at the same time we learn he reads off the back of an eagle every Christmas and Harvest Thanksgiving. We also learn about this novel’s Reverend Tendril complaining about how difficult it is to realize it is Christmas. The protagonist is offered Princess Abdul Abzar by Polly Cockpurse, and refuses to get a divorce because of the sale of Hetton Abbey after his son John Andrew is killed in a foxhunt. Three of this novel’s chapters are titled “English Gothic,” while another makes reference to hard cheese.

The Polish Bretheren are often labeled as descendents of it, and Meletius was exiled three times because of his opposition to this movement, while one branch of it became known as the (*) Eusibians. It was vociferously opposed by Athanasius of Alexandria, and the councils of Rimini and Seleucia were convened to settle the debate over it. It grew out of the teachings of Origen, and its views were repudiated with the codification of homoousin, or "same substance," a view which affirmed that the Logos had no beginning. For ten points, identify this heresy which emphasizes the primacy of the father over Jesus the son, declared heretical at the council of Nicea. ANSWER: Arianism 6. The preface to this work asks whether anything "could be more necessary than cheerfulness?" and suggests that the foregoing work might be a "ray of sunshine" or "a new war." This work claims that "one cannot learn from the Greeks" in a section dedicated to "Things I Owe to the Ancients," while its concluding section excerpts the parable of the diamond and the charcoal from the author's earlier work and entreats readers to "Become hard." In a section on (*) "Skirmishes in a War with the Age," which contains commentary on Sainte-Beuve, Imitation of Christ, and George Eliot, Emerson is favorably contrasted with Carlyle, while the author claims that a certain people are "bored with intellect" in a section about "Things the Germans Lack." The first section of this work is a collection of "Maxims and Missiles," and it's second calls a Greek philosopher "the mob" and "the lowest of the low," and is entitled "The Problem of Socrates." Subtitled "How to Philosophize with the Hammer," for ten points, identify this work by Friedrich Nietsczhe which bemoans the Christian chaining of the "blonde beast" and takes its title by punning on a Wagner opera.

FTP, name this lead singer of the J. Geils Band. ANSWER: Peter Wolf 9. Considering the finite capacitance of the physical implementation needed to realize this effect leads to the derivation of Swihart waves. Combining the non-stationary variety of this effect with an externally applied field results in features called Shapira steps, which are discrete increments on a current vs. voltage plot. This effect's namesake penetration depth is included in the Ferrell-Prange equation, and in the absence of an external potential, this effect results in a current that varies as the sine of the phase difference. In the case of an applied magnetic field, that current's frequency is quantized by the flux quantum, while in the widejunction case, this effect results in soliton solutions as well as Meissner-like behavior and in the presence of a magnetic field it can be used for interferometry. The physical basis for superconducting quantum interference devices, for ten points, identify this eponymous effect in which a current flows across an insulating barrier between two superconductors.

A 2004 paper attempted to derive superconductivity in some materials from the interactions of “small polarons” named for this effect arising from large electron-intermolecular vibration coupling in the presence of an intramolecular vibration. Certain electronic transitions in some species are unexpectedly weakly Laporte-allowed due to this effect, which also provides copper's place as highest on the high-spin IrvingWilliams series. This phenomenon predicts the insulating activity of certain metal-doped fullerene species. A radical anion of cyclooctatetraene exhibits this effect. A weaker version of this effect occurs with species like scandium (I), since the t2g set does not point at any ligands. This phenomenon occurs most strongly in high spin d4, low spin d7, and d9 complexes.
