xix). Despite a tendency to interpretative ad hoc-ism, it does bring together the important monographic work (e.g. Bynum, Searle, Stocking, Young) that has been done, and in some instances offers perceptive independent readings of particular figures. One might quarrel with the decision to focus on the natural sciences in isolation from the social (and the failure adequately to appreciate the wa...

What does it mean to be ‘moved distraction’ by ritual theatre? Each year the Nuosu, a Tibeto-Burman group of Southwest China, may moved their Fire Festival competitions, pageantries, and ‘extravaganzas’, but not necessarily Chinese nationalist elements within them. Simulating pageants megacities, extravaganzas meld Nuosu myth-history, animistic imagery, ‘minority culture’ with Dream prosperity,...

Catalytic partial oxidation (CPOX) can efficiently be used for the autothermal conversion of logistic fuels to hydrogen and synthesis gas in compact reactors to supply fuel for portable and stationary fuel cells. CPOX of characteristic constituents of logistic transportation fuels are studied experimentally in Rh/ Al2O3 coated honeycomb monoliths at short contact times. Towards a fundamental un...

A central tenet of most current models of visual-word recognition is that lexical units are activated on the basis of case-invariant abstract letter representations. Here, we examined this assumption by using a unique type of words: brand names. The rationale of the experiments is that brand names are archetypically printed either in lowercase (e.g., adidas) or uppercase (e.g., IKEA). This allo...

Cell laden biomaterials are archetypically seeded with individual cells and steered into the desired behavior using exogenous stimuli to control growth and differentiation. In contrast, direct cell-cell contact is instructive and even essential for natural tissue formation. Namely, microaggregation and condensation of mesenchymal progenitor cells triggers chondrogenesis and thereby drives limb ...

parallel non-Task Force initiatives such as The Gambia Hepatitis Group are neglected). Only at ground level do the files fail. The women's movement in Indonesia or village health workers in Thailand are seen from above, from memos and reports by outsiders. Thus a reference to an Indonesian village split by unbridged ravines, creating difficulties for vaccinators (p. 104) appears as a rare, refr...

Traceability of information provides the basis for assessing the credibility of engineering information, better understanding it, and making judgments about the appropriateness of its use for a particular design task. The presented research attempts to answer how the proposed traceability methodology and framework could help designers to improve communication, eventually create new channels of ...

Many consider the beehive grass iqhugwana archetypically Zulu. Along with the shield and assegai, it is iconic in the tourism culture of " the Zulu Kingdom, " representing the maintenance of an exotic " tradition. " 1 I argue that this is not necessarily so, as historical material shows evidence of a continual adaptation and evolution of this form. Furthermore, using the more contemporary examp...

The course of microbial infection in insects is shaped by a two-stage process of immune defense. Constitutive defenses, such as engulfment and melanization, act immediately and are followed by inducible defenses, archetypically the production of antimicrobial peptides, which eliminate or suppress the remaining microbes. By applying RNAseq across a 7-day time course, we sought to characterize th...
