In light of deplatforming efforts media platforms that forced establish new channels continue discourses recent opened discursive opportunity structure, we investigate how use Telegram mobilization.

Heat-induced diffusion of nucleosomes along DNA is an experimentally well-studied phenomenon, presumably induced by twist defects that propagate through the wrapped DNA portion. The diffusion constant depends dramatically on the local mechanical properties of the DNA and the presence of DNA-binding ligands. This has been quantitatively understood by a stochastic three-state model. Future experi...

This paper explores the attempt of social scientists associated with Unesco to create a system of knowledge production to provide the international perspective necessary for democratic governance of a world community. Social scientists constructed a federal system of international associations that institutionalized American disciplines on an international scale. An international perspective em...
