Simple sequence repeat (SSR markers or microsatellites), based on the specific PCR amplification of DNA sequences, are becoming the markers of choice for molecular characterization of a wide range of plants because of their high polymorphism, abundance, and codominant inheritance. Different methods have been used for the analysis of the SSR amplified fragments being submarine agarose electropho...

Having survived the «death of rhetoric» (R. BARTHES 1985: 115), metaphor has become the centre of intensive research by philosophers of language and linguists in the twentieth century. Nowadays it is widely accepted that metaphor is not reducible to «a sort of happy extra trick with words» (I. A. RICHARDS [1936] 1964: 90), but is rather said to be a fundamental principle of linguistic creativit...

The transition from geovisual analysis to presentation involves an intermediate stage called synthesis. In this stage of analysis, analysts collect and combine results to generalize their discoveries. Despite its presence in most theories of geovisualization design, synthesis is a topic that has remained largely unexplored in geovisualization research. This paper examines the use of synthesis i...

We present two add-ons for Mathematica for teaching mathematics to undergraduate and high school students. These two applications, M@th Desktop (MD) and M@th Desktop Tools (MDTools), include several palettes and notebooks covering almost every field. The underlying didactic concept is so-called ”blended learning”, in which these tools are meant to be used as a complement to the professor or tea...

The neo-classical framework ignores the interaction between individuals and is not at all interested in the nature of the relationship that links individuals through the market. However, the market is a place for social integration where the individuals necessarily use their interaction abilities. In other words, the integration depends directly on a rationality that we could call, inspired by ...

Migration from desktop-based to alternative out of the desk visualisations, could help to overcome some of the issues that are related to traditional screen representation problems. But simultaneously, it represents a challenge in which many technical and ethical questions have yet to be answered. In the following sections some thoughts about how visualisation outside the desktop could be appli...

In this paper I review some of the theoretical issues surrounding metaphor, and trace them through the context of the cognitive neuroscience debate. Metaphor, like all figurative language, has been usually explained as a secondary linguistic process which takes place as a function taking place on literal language. However this explanation does not fit well with some of the recent work on right ...

trope, the use of words in a non-literal sense, is among the topics found in the language and literature of all nations. however, all methods of using words considered as tropes in a language, are not necessarily regarded as such in another language and literature; and occasionally there are similarities and differences among known tropes. in german language and literature 10 types of tropes ar...
