What is the link between synaesthesia and sound symbolism?
Sound symbolism is a property of certain words which have a direct link between their phonological form and their semantic meaning. In certain instances, sound symbolism can allow non-native speakers to understand the meanings of etymologically unfamiliar foreign words, although the mechanisms driving this are not well understood. We examined whether sound symbolism might be mediated by the sam...
متن کاملWhat can spermatogonial transplants teach us about male reproductive biology?
In this issue of Endocrinology, there is a rapid communication by Mahato et al. (1) that addresses the issue of estrogen action directly on germinal cells in the testis. The authors transplanted germ cells from the testis of the estrogen receptor a (ERa) knockout mice into the seminiferous tubules of germ cell-depleted wild-type mice. The germ cells carrying the knockout mutation underwent qual...
متن کاملWhat atomic liquids can teach us about quark liquids
Over the last ten years there has been truly remarkable progress in the study of cold, dilute gases of fermionic atoms in which the scattering length a of the atoms can be controlled experimentally. These systems can be realized in the laboratory using Feshbach resonances, see1) for a review. A small negative scattering length corresponds to a weak attractive interaction between the atoms. This...
متن کاملWhat viruses can teach us about the human immune system
The first and most critical step in a host’s response to viral infection is the recognition of the viral invader by the immune system. This task is carried out by a repertoire of sensor molecules, found in most organisms, that recognize features that are unique to the virus and not found in the host, such as viral double-stranded RNA. The principle that hosts are able to detect specific pathoge...
متن کاملWhat Complex Systems Research Can Teach Us About Collaborative Design
Collaborative design is challenging because strong interdependencies between design issues make it difficult to converge on a single design that satisfies these dependencies and is acceptable to all participants. Complex systems research has much to offer to the understanding of these dynamics. This paper describes some insights from the complex systems perspective. 1. The Challenge: Collaborat...
