Erich Harnack (1852-1915) and a short history of apomorphine.

Jules-Auguste Soury (1842-1915): A Centennial Call to Mind.

Jules-Auguste Soury (1842-1915), a Parisian theorist and historian of science, was the author of 'The Central Nervous System', one of the most comprehensive and original accounts, until 1900, of the history of brain research.

A Short History of Membrane Physics

A boundary Harnack principle in twisted Hölder domains

The boundary Harnack principle for the ratio of positive harmonic functions is shown to hold in twisted Hölder domains of order α for α ∈ (1/2, 1]. For each α ∈ (0, 1/2), there exists a twisted Hölder domain of order α for which the boundary Harnack principle fails. Extensions are given to L-harmonic functions for uniformly elliptic operators L in divergence form. Short title: Boundary Harnack ...

History of experimental psychology from an Estonian perspective.

A short review of the development of experimental psychology from an Estonian perspective is presented. The first rector after the reopening of the University of Dorpat (Tartu) in 1802, Georg Friedrich Parrot (1767-1852) was interested in optical phenomena which he attempted to explain by introducing the concept of unconscious inferences, anticipating a similar theory proposed by Herman von Hel...

An Analysis of the Signs of Growth and Decay in the Characters of Fereydoun and Zahhak from the Viewpoint of Erich Fromm

Literary texts are the product of individual unconscious psyche and collective consciousness. In Iranian mythology, Fereydoun and Zahhak are symbols of good and evil. This research is an attempt to demonstrate aspects of growth and decay according to Erich Fromm’s theories. It aims at finding aspects of growth (love of life, love of humanity, freedom from the archetypal Mother) and contra...
