Anti-nuclear Movements: Failed Projects or Heralds of a Direct Action Milieu?

Political Reasons for Failed Software Projects

Development of Direct-use Projects

A geothermal direct-use project utilizes a natural resource, a flow of geothermal fluid at elevated temperatures, which is capable of providing heat and/or cooling to buildings, greenhouses, aquaculture ponds, and industrial processes. Geothermal utilization requires matching the varied needs of the user and characteristics of the resource in order to development a successful project. Each appl...

Neutrinos: Heralds of New Physics

The central role of neutrinos in the determination of fundamental interactions is reviewed. The recent Su-perKamiokande discovery of neutrino mass gives an aperçu of physics at short distances, and tests theories of flavor. Quark-lepton symmetries, derived from grand unification and/or string theories, can help determine the standard model parameters in the neutrino sector. Over the last sevent...

Movements or targets: what makes an action in action-effect learning?

According to ideomotor theory, actions become linked to the sensory feedback they contingently produce, so that anticipating the feedback automatically evokes the action it typically results from. Numerous recent studies have provided evidence in favour of such action-effect learning but left an important issue unresolved. It remains unspecified to what extent action-effect learning is based on...

Anti-angiogenic drugs: direct anti-cancer agents with mitochondrial mechanisms of action

Components of the mitochondrial electron transport chain have recently gained much interest as potential therapeutic targets. Since mitochondria are essential for the supply of energy that is required for both angiogenic and tumourigenic activity, targeting the mitochondria represents a promising potential therapeutic approach for treating cancer. Here we investigate the established anti-angiog...
