Why and How do Municipal areas Govern Interorganizational ICT Cooperation: Indeed, "the Emperor has no Clothes"

Information and communication technologies (ICT) are significant for the development and production of municipalities’ services and activities. Yet, municipalities typically operate their ICT independently with only limited resources. Limited resources are a key incentive for inter-municipal ICT cooperation. We investigated, how inter-municipal ICT cooperation was executed and governed in 20 Fi...

Sperm Biology: Size Indeed Matters

Although sperm are typically thought to be small, tadpole-like cells produced in vast quantities, sperm size, form and number all vary tremendously across species. Sperm form ranges from amoeboid or discoid to multiflagellate elongated structures [1]. Even within the more familiar uniflagellate spermatozoa, length varies by several orders of magnitude, from the tiny 28μm long porcupine sperm to...

Language may indeed influence thought

We discuss four interconnected issues that we believe have hindered investigations into how language may affect thinking. These have had a tendency to reappear in the debate concerning linguistic relativity over the past decades, despite numerous empirical findings. The first is the claim that it is impossible to disentangle language from thought, making the question concerning "influence" poin...

Viral ssRNAs are indeed compact.

DNA is the genetic material of all living things, except for viruses, most of which have genomes that are RNA – not DNA. Further, the majority of viral RNA genomes are single stranded (ss) rather than duplex chains. The simplest of these ssRNA viruses, whether infecting bacteria, plants, or animals, involve a single copy of their genome, protected (“packaged”) by a single-molecule-thick spheric...
