The key to understanding the nature of government is to be found in the old debate between realists and political utopians of many kind. This controversy has several fields including the epistemological issues of political knowledge, the disagreements between philosophers and historians, and the political clashes of liberals wih conservatives. As for the status of political knowledge, the first...

The purpose of this research was to empirically determine what benefits were realized by organizations that have undertaken a Business Process Reengineering (BPR) project. The survey’s respondents indicated that they were general& satis$ed with their BPR projects.

2013 is the year of the snake in the lunar calendar. The snake symbolizes many things in both Eastern and Western mythologies. Especially in Eastern Asia, snakes are respected as a symbol of harvest and fertility, whereas in Greek mythology, snakes have symbolic significance in science. Just as a snake sheds its old skin, the Korean Journal of Urology (KJU) in 2013 plans to mature with an upgra...

Collect ive guidance wisdom T raditionally, cell migration studies focus on the responses of a single cell to guidance signals, but migrations during development and metastasis involve traveling clumps of cells. Pernille Rørth and colleagues (EMBL, Heidelberg, Germany) now show that a collective consciousness can direct the migration of cell clusters. The team tracked two distinct migration pha...

The Greenland ice sheet has become one of the main contributors to global sea level rise, predominantly through increased meltwater runoff. The main drivers of Greenland ice sheet runoff, however, remain poorly understood. Here we show that clouds enhance meltwater runoff by about one-third relative to clear skies, using a unique combination of active satellite observations, climate model data ...

We present "twin Higgs models," simple realizations of the Higgs boson as a pseudo Goldstone boson that protect the weak scale from radiative corrections up to scales of order 5-10 TeV. In the ultraviolet these theories have a discrete symmetry which interchanges each standard model particle with a corresponding particle which transforms under a twin or a mirror standard model gauge group. In a...

An aggregate integrated assessment model is used to investigate the relative merits of hedging over the near term against the chance that atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide will be limited as a matter of global policy. Hedging strategies are evaluated given near term uncertainty about the targeted level of limited concentrations and the trajectory of future carbon emissions. All uncer...
