Human Versus Nonhuman: Binary Opposittion As an Ordering Principle of Western Human Thought

Although they have a long Western history, philosophical and otherwise, binary oppositions are not by any means endemic to the Western world. They are pan-cullural phenomena. The purpose of this paper, however, is to examine a fundamental binary opposition that, in its mode of expression in Western culture, is endemic: the human/nonhuman opposition. Its indigenous signature is readily apparent ...

Cluster coverings as an ordering principle for quasicrystals

Cluster density maximization and (maximal) cluster covering have emerged as ordering principles for quasicrystalline structures. The concepts behind these ordering principles are reviewed and illustrated with several examples. For two examples, Gummelt’s aperiodic decagon model and a cluster model for octagonal Mn–Si–Al quasicrystals, these ordering principles can enforce perfectly ordered, qua...

The Viability of Human Testis-Derived Cells on Human Serum Albumin-Based Scaffold as An Artificial Male Germ Cell Niche

Azoospermia is one of the challenging disorders affecting couples who are afflicted with infertility. Human testisderivedcells (hTCs) are suitable candidates for the initiation of in-vitro spermatogenesis for these types of patients.The current study aimed to assess the proliferation of hTCs through the cell culture on the three-dimensional (3D) porousscaffolds. Cells harveste...

An Overview on Probiotics as an Alternative Strategy for Prevention and Treatment of Human Diseases

Aims: Probiotics are viable and useful microorganisms, which are beneficial factors for human and animal health by altering their microbial flora. Most of the probiotics belong to a large group of bacteria in the human gastrointestinal tract. There are several clinical shreds of evidence that show anti-carcinogenic effects of probiotics through altering digestive enzymes, inhibition of carcinog...
