Triplex forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) bind in the major groove of duplex DNA with high specificity and affinity. Because of these characteristics, TFOs have been proposed as homing devices for ge...

For a select group of people, there is no doubt that they merit the necessary attention, but there is a large gray field of ‘second rate’ individuals who had an impact on history of which only a small group is included in more than a fo...

Despite the significance and growth of tourism in the Caribbean, ontologies and epistemologies of sustainable tourism in island societies remain fragmented, fragile, fleeting and fatalistic.
