ABSTRACT: Modern linguistic theories are quite diverse and many of them often seem to be incompatible with each other. The theoretical and practical gap between the major linguistic schools may discourage researchers of a school to benefit from a good deal of research done in other linguistic schools....

This series will include monographs and collections of studies devoted to the investigation and exploration of knowledge, information, and data-processing systems of all kinds, no matter whether human, (other) animal, or machine. Its scope is intended to span the full range of interests from classical...

​Just as fetishism was for a long time accepted as a generic term covering all that was nefarious in the customs of the West African tribes, so in the popular mind today, Voodoo and Obeah are interchangeable and signify alike whatever is weird and eerie in the practices of the descendants of these...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an analytical tool used by chemists and physicists to study the structure and dynamics of molecules. In recent years, no other technique has gained such significance as NMR spectroscopy. It is used in all branches of science in which precise structural determination...

Yanfei Shen and Takashi Nakanishi Exotic Self-Organized Fullerene Materials Based on Uncommon Hydrophobic–Amphiphilic Approach Yuming Zhao and Guang Chen C60 Fullerene Amphiphiles as Supramolecular Building Blocks for Organized and Well-Defined Nano scale Objects Anna Troeger, Vito Sgobba and Dirk...

The evening started much the same as any other Monday at circle, with a meditation. As soon as I closed my eyes, I became aware of my Native American guide, he was surrounded by many other Native Americans. One stepped forward as if acting as a spokesperson, he told me he was Sitting Bull, a name...

Science education at school level worldwide faces three perennial problems that have become more pressing of late. These are to a considerable extent interwoven with concerns about the entire school curriculum and its reception by students. The rst problem is the increasing intellectual isolation...

The book about John Michell (1724-93) has two parts. The first and longest part is biographical, an account of Michell’s home setting (Nottinghamshire in England), the clerical world in which he grew up (Church of England), the university (Cambridge) where he studied and taught, and the scientific...

The goddess origins of the Statue of Liberty and her connections with the founding and the future of America • Examines Lady Liberty’s ties to Native American spiritual traditions, the Earth Mother, Roman goddesses, Black Madonnas, and Mary Magdalene • Reveals the sharp contrast...

Two informative papers from the Marshall European Center for Security Studies analyze the threats posed by Iran and North Korea. The first paper, North Korea and Iran's Nuclear Programs as Instability Factors in the New System of International Relations, takes a critical look at the most challenging...

Volcanic Ash: Hazard Observation presents an introduction followed by four sections, each on a separate topic and each containing chapters from an internationally renowned pool of authors. The introduction provides a volcanological context for ash generation that sets the stage for the development...

In this book, Rudakemwa shares with us intriguing questions which lead to thinking about the existence of a new way of communication used by living cells. These ideas lead to a new theory that revolutionizes the way we previously conceived the internal organization of living beings. Not only this...

The cells in our bodies consist of molecules, made up of the same carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms found in air and rocks. But molecules, such as water and sugar, are not alive. So how do our cells—assemblies of otherwise “dead” molecules—come to life, and together constitute a living being? In...

Calmodulin and Signal Transduction focuses on emerging themes in the molecular mechanisms of calcium signal transduction through calmodulin-regulated pathways. It provides the reader with selected examples and experimental precedents that underlie current models of cell regulation through calmodulin-regulated...
