W.E.B. Du Bois's concept of "the veil," first fully articulated in The Souls of Black Folk (1903), contains the most nuanced and powerful theory of race and racism ever developed. Du Bois understands the veil dialectically. This philosophical term "dialectic" refers to a relationship that simultaneously embodies both antagonism and interdependence, that develops over historical time, and that l...

Left-handed gold nanoparticle double helices were prepared using a new method that allows simultaneous synthesis and assembly of discrete nanoparticles. This method involves coupling the processes of peptide self-assembly of and peptide-based biomineralization of nanoparticles. In this study, AYSSGAPPMPPF (PEPAu), an oligopeptide with an affinity for gold surfaces, was modified with an aliphati...

Growth cones sense cues by filopodial contact, but how their motility is altered by contact remains unclear. Although contact could alter motile dynamics in complex ways, our analysis shows that stable contact with Schwann cells induces motility changes that are remarkably discrete and invariant. Filopodial contact invariably induces local veil extension. Even when contacts are brief, veils alw...

This paper assesses the effectiveness of a broad set 1066 active and continuously traded cryptocurrencies as safe haven instrument against extreme oil price movements, in comparison to corresponding roles gold. The uncertainty for market during COVID-19 pandemic subsequent Russia–Ukraine conflict tone natural experiments our study. We use trail-blazing dynamic generalized autoregressive score m...

This study investigated the organization of a vibrissal pathway that arises from the interpolar division of the spinal trigeminal complex (SP5i), transits through the ventral posterior medial nucleus (VPM), and innervates the somatosensory cortical areas in the rat. Using Fluoro-Gold and biotinylated dextran amine, respectively, as retrograde and anterograde tracers, the following organization ...
