چکیده

03 "Monumentality," she vmtes, "creates the sense of social cohesion that is central to the consolidation of a community by impressing upon people the importance and power of a thing or a person Central to this impression of social power is the sense of long-lastingness; the perception that this city, building, institution, or artwork—and the values it represents— will last through generations, societies, time." That is well said, and it alerts us to a central problem of modernism. In contrast to what we expect in the monumental, the typical works of modernism looked as if they had been put together with a stapler or a screwdriver. and could be taken apart as easily. Modernism suggested the temporary, the immediate, the satisfaction of this particular need, here, now. The idea of building for the ages was foreign to modernism. Who knew what functions would need to be satisfied tomorrow? I do not know whether Louis Kahn's buildings were built for the ages, but he tried to make them look as if they were. In doing so, he moved far from both the aesthetic program and the social program of modemism. And we have not yet found the answer to the question that Kahn brilliantly asked about the limitations of modemism. We are still living with his dilemma. •

A New Kind of Fibonacci-Like Sequence of Composite Numbers

An integer sequence (xn)n≥0 is said to be Fibonacci-like if it satisfies the binary recurrence relation xn = xn−1 + xn−2, n ≥ 2. We construct a new type of Fibonacci-like sequence of composite numbers. 1 The problem and previous results In this paper we consider Fibonacci-like sequences, that is, sequences (xn) ∞ n=0 satisfying the binary recurrence relation xn = xn−1 + xn−2, n ≥ 2.

An HMG1-like protein facilitates Wnt signaling in Caenorhabditis elegans.

We show that during Caenorhabditis elegans male spicule development, the specification of a glial versus neuronal cell fate in a canonical neurogenic sublineage is dependent on Wnt signaling. Inactivation of a Wnt signaling pathway mediated by the Wnt receptor LIN-17 transforms the SPD sheath cell into its sister, the SPD neuron. We discovered a new mutant, son-1, that displays this same cell f...
