The EMBO Workshop on 'Chromatin Structure, Organization and Dynamics' took place in April 2011 in Prague, Czech Republic. Scientists from the life sciences, chemistry and biophysics presented their latest data on the generation of three-dimensional and, eventually, four-dimensional models of the genome, working to correlate changes in the organization of chromatin with the functional state of t...

Land change science has demonstrated that rural livelihoods around the world both drive and reflect changing environmental regimes and political economic/ structural transformations. This article explores the relationship between increasingly globalized rural livelihoods and in-place land change, assessing results from social surveys of smallholding households in the southern Yucatán region. We...

On 8 September 1968, Ryszard Siwiec set fi re to himself during a harvest festival in the 10th Anniversary Stadium in Warsaw. Through his self-immolation, he sought to protest against Communist rule in general and the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in particular. However, his death did not gain wider attention. Further protests ‘by fi re’ took place in the subsequent months and years in...

Given a rectangular m × n matrix stored as a two-dimensional array, we want to transpose it in place andmeasure the cost by the number of memory writes and the number of auxiliary cells used. We propose a transposition algorithm with optimal complexity O(mn) using only min(m, n) auxiliary memory cells. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

In this paper, we consider the problem of designing in-place algorithms for computing the maximum area empty rectangle of arbitrary orientation among a set of points in 2D, and the maximum volume empty axisparallel cuboid among a set of points in 3D. If n points are given in an array of size n, the worst case time complexity of our proposed algorithms for both the problems is O(n); both the alg...

The rediscovery of a labour camp on the construction site Stalin Monument in Prague spring 2021 was result project Municipality Prague. Until then, existence this specific had not been reflected neither historical memory place nor literature devoted to monstrous monument (dismantled 1962), which both superb work art and engineering most significant material manifestation cult Stalin’s personali...

Kant believes that the concepts of a just and compassionate God and the life beyond death spring from our rational need to unite happiness with virtue. But since Kant had banished happiness from any place in moral reasoning, his philosophy of religion have been deemed as not merely discontinuous with his ethics but radically opposed to it. This article tries to argue against this apparent incon...
