For a very long time, the scientific and animal welfare communities have faced each other across a seemingly unbridgeable divide. Each side tends to view the other in simplistic and distorted terms. Animal welfare advocates see scientists as, at worst, sadists who enjoy torturing animals, and at best, as self-interested careerists intent on building careers out of publishing more papers and get...

The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to an innovative use of literature in social science research where the literature may not only be seen as a secondary source of data (Strauss & Corbin 1990) but may also serve as the basis for theory building (Lewis & Grimes 1999; Saunders et. al. 1999). This will be exemplified by attempting to construct a theory of ‘IS business value’ from the l...

The paper discusses the possibility of smart thematic village development and presents results qualitative research aimed at determining why some villages are developing while others not. grounded theory approach was used for semi-structured interviews. This empirical study investigates four in Lithuania, which have an official status currently operating one non-developing village. structured (...

The ionic liquid, N,N,N,N-tetramethylguanidiniumtriflate (TMGTf) was found to be an efficient catalyst solvent for Henry reaction between nitromethane and isatin derivatives to provide 3-hydroxy-3-(nitromethyl)indolin-2-one under mild conditions. The ionic liquid amenable to successive recycling without appreciable decrease in activity. Synthesized compounds have been screened for their anti-di...

"Physical chemistry is everything that is interesting," so replied G. N. Lewis, the distinguished mentor of Henry Eyring at Berkeley, California, when queried about the content of this scientific discipline. If this definition be correct, then one who follows the profession of physical chemistry must be sort of a "pan-scientist," and for this title Henry Eyring is well qualified. It is entirely...
