Conditions Conducive to Peace in Gabriel Marcel

Gabriel Marcel on Hope

According to Gabriel Marcel, being cannot be approached directly through a conceptual way, because it belongs to the real territory of mystery rather than that of problem. One of the most important concepts in Marcel’s philosophy is that of hope. Marcel’s conception of hope relies upon a distinction between “having” and “being.”  We do not have a belief; we are in a belief. Similarly, ...

Measuring Conditions Conducive to Knowledge Development

The design of virtual learning environments for post-secondary instruction is rapidly increasing among public and private universities. While the quantity of online courses over the past 10 years has exponentially increased, the quality of these courses has not. As universities increase their online teaching activities, real concern about the best design for these online learning opportunities ...

Mesospheric turbulence during PMWE-conducive conditions

Forebrain c-fos expression under conditions conducive to pair bonding in female prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster).

Repeated mating over a period of 6 h facilitates pair-bond formation in monogamous prairie voles. Using this paradigm, we examined fos expression in brain areas implicated in social behavior in voles. We hypothesized that the presence of the fos protein after a period of time sufficient for pair bonding to occur may indicate brain areas that are especially important in pair bond formation. We f...

Physiological conditions conducive to high cyanophycin content in biomass of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus strain ADP1.

The effects of the inorganic medium components, the initial pH, the incubation temperature, the oxygen supply, the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, and chloramphenicol on the synthesis of cyanophycin (CGP) by Acinetobacter calcoaceticus strain ADP1 were studied in a mineral salts medium containing sodium glutamate and ammonium sulfate as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. Variation of all thes...
