'Thank you for your order, Mr Mainframe Customer. The cost is £5 million and the lead-time for manufacture will be two years. In the meantime you will have to build a special computer centre to our specification. For our part, our project team will help you recruit and train potential programmers and we shall advise on how you might use the system.' How different from today when the customer…
The atomic force microscope (AFM) has become one of the leading nanoscale measurement techniques for materials science since its creation in the 1980's, but has been gaining popularity in a seemingly unrelated field of science: biology. The AFM naturally lends itself to investigating the topological surfaces of biological objects, from whole cells to protein particulates, and can also be used t…

Ingin tahu apa langkah selanjutnya bagi terapis humanistik, psikodinamik, atau CBT yang bekerja dengan pasien PTSD? Jangan mencari lagi. A Multidimension…
In the centre of this study stand some 154 letters exchanged between the Austrian writer Alexander Lernet-Holenia (1897-1976) and Maria Charlotte ("Lotte") Sweceny (ne?e Stein, 1904-1956), the co-proprietor of the Viennese publishing house Manz, between 1938 and 1945. The transcripts are followed by a commentary that aims to elucidate the historical, individual and geographical references. A me…
Wie ist es zu erklären, dass sich die bewaffneten Repressalien den Normierungsbemühungen seit dem 19. Jh. entzogen, während diese nicht-kriegerische Maßnahme ein sensibles Thema im Völkerrecht darstellte? Ausgehend vom mittelalterlichen Repressalienrecht und seiner schwindenden Geltung in der Neuzeit beweist die Untersuchung, dass die Großmächte diese Gewaltanwendung in Friedenszeiten zu…
In the Earth sciences, a transition is currently occurring in multiple fields towards an integrated Earth system approach, with applications including numerical weather prediction, hydrological forecasting, climate impact studies, ocean dynamics estimation and monitoring, and carbon cycle monitoring. These approaches rely on coupled modeling techniques using Earth system models that account for…
Kesucian adalah konstruksi budaya yang memainkan peran sentral dalam pembentukan dan perkembangan tradisi keagamaan di Mediterania kuno. Buku ini menganalisis konsep, praktik, dan gambaran yang terkait dengan kesucian dalam budaya-budaya utama zaman kuno, serta membahas dari perspektif komparatif perkembangan dan transformasi paralelnya. Perspektif yang diadopsi bersifat sinkronis dan diakronis…
Quantification of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and dynamics is required for and applied to different frameworks, situations and scales, ranging from an experimental plot (for evaluating treatment effects) to whole fields (e.g. in SOC-accounting or crediting systems) and inventories of whole countries or continents (Orgiazzi et al., 2018, Saby et al., 2008, Bolinder et al., 2010, Viscar…
Various cellular processes underlying plant development and response to environmental cues rely on a dynamic interplay between membranes and the cytoskeleton, e.g. vesicle and organelle trafficking, endocytosis, exocytosis, and signal transduction. In recent years, significant progress in the understanding of such interplay has been achieved and several critical links between membranes and the …
Kumpulan esai ini mengeksplorasi hubungan kompleks antara Kristen dan Muslim di awal era modern. Ini dimulai dengan memeriksa dua karya seminal oleh Nicholas of Cusa: De pace fidei, sebuah dialog yang mencari perdamaian antara agama-agama dunia yang ditulis setelah penaklukan Konstantinopel pada tahun 1453, dan Cribratio Alkorani (1460-61), sebuah upaya untuk mengonfirmasi kebenaran Injil melal…
