Although it is only in recent decades that scholars have begun to reconsider and problematize Buddhist conceptions of “freedom” and “agency,” the thought traditions of Asian Buddhism have for many centuries struggled with questions related to the issue of “liberation”—along with its fundamental ontological, epistemological and ethical implications. With the development of Marxist thought in the...

The localization of Oskar at the posterior pole of the Drosophila oocyte induces the assembly of the pole plasm and therefore defines where the abdomen and germ cells form in the embryo. This localization is achieved by the targeting of oskar mRNA to the posterior and the localized activation of its translation. oskar mRNA seems likely to be actively transported along microtubules, since its lo...

It has been previously demonstrated that an induction machine drive with contactorless pole changing can be achieved by reversing current directions of certain stator coil groups. This paper compares the power and torque capability of this drive with conventional four-pole and two-pole induction machine drives. Based on the technique of vector space decomposition, the machine coupled-circuit mo...
