Austria's science institute gathers steam

“Who gathers knowledge/gathers pain.”

Note to readers. What follows are drafts of six chapters of our book in progress, Seductions and Shortcuts: Fallacies in the Cognitive Economy, which is volume 3 of our omnibus work, A Practical Logic of Cognitive Systems, published by Elsevier/NorthHolland. The six chapters that appear here have been drafted as stand-alone pieces, and they have not yet been integrated into a smoothly flowing u...

TRPC Channel upregulation in chronically hypoxic pulmonary arteries: the HIF-1 bandwagon gathers steam.

Chronic alveolar hypoxia causes structural and functional changes in pulmonary arteries (PAs) leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance, secondary pulmonary hypertension (SPH), and, as a possible consequence, right heart failure. These changes are likely to result, at least in part, from the altered expression of ion channels in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), and rece...

The following study deals with the characteristics of the reaction to form BaSO4 and BaCO3 from Na2SO4 and Na2CO3, respectively, using BaS as the other reactant. These reactions would theoretically increase the efficiency of the chemical recovery process in papermaking to near 100% by completely converting Na2SO4 to Na2S and Na2CO3 to NaOH. Kinetic data were collected, and it was determined tha...
