Word und Co. bestimmen weltweit mit, was heute Schreiben heißt. So selbstverständlich Textverarbeitung am Personal Computer inzwischen aber ist, so umwegig gestaltete sich ihre Vorgeschichte, die bislang ein »blinder Fleck« der Medienwissenschaft geblieben ist. Zwar erscheint der PC in seiner Kopplung von Tastatur und Bildschirm als »bessere Schreibmaschine« – doch Computer sind nicht per se We...

‘Scientific community’ is common currency in the study of science, largely due to Kuhn’s use of the term in his highly influential book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. As this article explains, however, ‘scientific community’ was not of Kuhn’s coining. It was hinted at by Peirce, and expressly designated by Royce. On a few occasions Fleck affirmed a scientific community, while Polanyi ...

The complete nucleotide sequence of Grapevine fleck virus (GFkV) genomic RNA was determined. The genome is 7564 nt in size, excluding the 3'-terminal poly(A) tail, is characterized by an extremely high cytosine content (ca. 50%), and contains four putative open reading frames and untranslated regions of 291 and 35 nt at the 5' and 3' ends, respectively. ORF 1 potentially encodes a 215.4 kDa pol...

Cultures-Marrow fluid was aspirated from the sternum, ilium or vertebral spine and placed in a tube containing 1 mg. of heparin dissolved in 1 ml. of normal serum. After pouring it into a petri dish, the separated flecks of marrow w’re cultured as described dl’ Fifty marrow flecks from 7 individuals were cultured, and measurements of oxygen tension in the fluid medium were taken at intervals. C...

This paper introduces a model of inequality aversion that captures a preference for equality of ex-ante expected payoff relative to a preference for equality of ex-post payoff by a single parameter. On deterministic allocations, the model reduces to the model of Fehr and Schmidt (1999). The model provides a unified explanation for recent experiments on probabilistic dictator games and dictator ...
