While the social economy originated in Europe (Desroche, 1983; Gueslin, 1997; Vienney, 1994), by the nineteenth century it emerged in North America as well, particularly in Canada and Quebec with its ties to the United Kingdom and France as well as other European countries, especially Germany and Belgium. Today, it is interesting to explore the renewal of the social economy in Europe and in Can...

The geomorphology and structural geology ofNemegt Uul, Southern Mongolia, is examined as an example of a mountain range that has formed within a restraining bend along a major intracontinental strike-slip fault system, the Gobi-Tien Shan fault system. Structural and geomorphological analysis demonstrates that the mountain belt is young and has been differentially tilted and eroded. A geomorphol...

To the Editor In an article entitled “Prognostic Significance of CXCL12 Expression in Patients With Colorectal Carcinoma,”1 we found that the authors may have inadvertently annotated CAM5.2 as cytokeratins (CKs) 8 and 18 by using a pair of square brackets to reference some reports, which might suggest that CAM5.2 is identical to CK8 and CK18. Becton Dickinson (BD) Biosciences revised the data s...

Temporal variations in the orientation of Cenozoic range growth in northeastern Tibet defi ne two modes by which India-Asia convergence was accommodated. Thermochronological age-elevation transects from the hanging walls of two major thrust-fault systems reveal diachronous Miocene exhumation of the Laji-Jishi Shan in northeastern Tibet. Whereas accelerated growth of the WNW-trending eastern Laj...
