Place-making is an inherently networked process, constituted by the socio-spatial relationships that link individuals together through a common place-frame. While place-orie...

Superlative sentences with modal modifiers like possible give rise to the so-called ‘modal superlative reading’ (Larson 2000, Pancheva 2005). The present paper uses this reading to investigate an open issue in degree constructions: whereas two different lexical entries have been argued to exist for the comparative morpheme -er (3-place and 2-place), it is not clear whether two entries are neede...

Centromeres are essential for chromosome inheritance and genome stability. Centromeric proteins, including the centromeric histone centromere protein A (CENP-A), define the site of centromeric chromatin and kinetochore assembly. In many organisms, centromeres are located in or near regions of repetitive DNA. However, some atypical centromeres spontaneously form on unique sequences. These neocen...

one of the major aspects of quality of life is place-attachment which is affected by human-nature interactions. looking at such a critical issue in human settlements requires the study of the relationship between architecture and nature. it is a critical issue in the contemporary literature of built environment and is discussed in specific frameworks such as phenomenology and environmental psyc...
