Now a work of art must have coherence. Two principles of organization, giving coherence to the modern work of art, seem to stand out to the observer. The first of these is that the forms within the work interact ...

Many recent examples have shown that rockfalls can occur in underground steep coal mines. The stratigraphic circumstances, block formation mechanism, and cumulative damage effects of the longwalls a steeply dipping seam (SDCS) make them detrimental to workplace safety. Therefore, this study examined an approach for mitigating rockfall hazards SDCSs. A passive mesh system was installed prevent p...

Extremely large domains of the genome of resting cells (calf thymus) have been visualized in the electron microscope by combining mild extraction procedures with a non-artifactual method of mounting the sample (the phospholipid monolayer technique). The observed chromatin strands, free from distortion, reach contour lengths up to 60 micrometers. After lysis of the nuclei, four classes of fibres...
