An influential critique of anger holds that comes at an important epistemic cost. In particular, feeling angry typically makes risk less visible to us. This is anger’s ‘red mist.’ These costs, critics suggest, arguably outweigh the benefits commonly ascribed anger. essay argues importantly misleading. not because it underestimates benefits, but rather overlooks fact red mist performs a crucial ...

Different approaches to information system (IS) development are based on different data models. The selection of a data model for conceptual design, among other things, depends on the problem domain, the knowledge, and the personal preferences of an IS designer. In some situations, a simultaneous usage of different approaches to the conceptual database design and IS development may lead to the ...

An apparatus was designed for simultaneous measurement of rates of N(2) fixation estimated by C(2)H(2)-C(2)H(4) assay (N(2)[C(2)H(2)] fixation) and NO(3) (-) absorption by roots of intact, nodulated soybeans (Glycine max [L.] Merr.). The principal design features include: (a) a gas-tight mist chamber in which nodulated roots can be exposed simultaneously to C(2)H(2) in the gas phase and to a li...

Shoot cultures of Artemisia annua L. were cultivated in three different micropropagation systems: an ultrasonic nutrient mist bioreactor (UNMB), a modified ultrasonic nutrient mist bioreactor (MUNMB) and solid culture in Magenta boxes. The shoots cultivated in the UNMB and MUNMB showed excellent growth. The dry weight increase (35 times) of shoot cultures in the MUNMB was higher than those (25 ...

This paper presents the results and conclusions from experimental investigations concerning filtration properties of nonwovens. The needled nonwovens were made from polyester fibres (PTE) with average fibre diameter 12 micrometres and polypropylene fibres (PP) with average fibre diameter 32 micrometres. Nonwovens were produced out of each of those fibres or out of a mixture of polyester and pol...

Transformed roots are a very promising source of biologically active compounds, but industriallevel production has proved very challenging. Artemisia annua produces artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone which is a potent antimalarial. Transformed roots of A. annua have exhibited increased levels of artemisinin when grown in a nutrient mist bioreactor. Additionally, roots showed no evidence of ox...

A new efficient cell was developed to generate a large quantity of aerosol using an ultrasonic nebulizer. The currently used conventional pail-type cell cannot generate such a large quantity of aerosol because a large portion of the mist is lost by agglomeration and subsequent liquefaction onto the cell wall and liquid surface. The newly developed cell is a chimney-type cell characterized by th...
