The stability and state of aggregation of aqueous fibrinogen (FB) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) vesicles in water or buffer at 25 degrees C were studied with dynamic light scattering (DLS), UV-vis spectroturbidimetry (ST), and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). In water, when 1000 ppm (0.10 wt %) DPPC dispersions were prepared with a protocol including extensive sonic...

All forms of literature are a reflection of the society of which the writer is a part. They mirror the author's particular culture even though a specific piece of literary work may make only a small portion of society its central focus or audience. This does not exclude "escapist" literature because culture determines the manner in which fantasies are developed and the form and direction which ...

In this paper we provide evidence that conceptual metonymies are cross-linguistically significant in the coding of verbal aspect. Guillemin-Flescher (1981: Ch. 2), in an important contrastive study of narrative texts, notices that English and French differ quite often as to which phase of an aspectual situation is coded in an utterance. To illustrate, compare sentence (1), taken from François M...

The theorem of Madsen and Weiss [MW] identifies the homology of mapping class groups of surfaces, in a stable dimension range, with the homology of a certain infinite loopspace. This result is not only intrinsically interesting, showing that two objects that appear to be quite different turn out to be homologically equivalent, but it also allows explicit calculations of the stable homology, rat...

This paper focuses on the readings of quite as a degree modifier of verbs in written English on the basis of the British National Corpus (BNC). The study explores the semantic constraints that govern the relationship between quite and the verbs it combines with in terms of their conceptualization, which reflects the presence or absence of boundaries, i.e. boundedness/ unboundedness. Two types o...

A striking aspect of the initial reception John Rawls is that he was embraced by leading market-liberal theorists such as Friedrich Hayek and James Buchanan. This article investigates reasons for free-market right's sympathetic interest in early providing a historical account dialogue between his key neoliberal interlocutor, We set out common intellectual context, notably influence Frank Knight...
