More specifically: I lay down two desiderata for a theory which tries to capture what's distinctive discuss prominent claim satisfy them. advantages having ground And, look both orthodox heterodox versions such theories.

In non-small cell lung cancer cells that contain a mutated KRAS gene, SIVA, a p53 target gene that is critical for apoptosis, is overexpressed in a p53-independent manner and promotes tumorigenesis through the stimulation of mTOR signaling. The ablation of Siva in conditional knockout mice results in an inhibition of tumor development that makes SIVA an interesting new candidate therapeutic tar...

sociomusicology (sociology of music) as a branch of art sociology aims at identifying the relationships between music and social structures. the main question faced by the sociologists of music is how the conditions of a given social system affect the dominant music style of a culture or the subculture of a group and how the public tendencies for a specific music style affect a social system an...

Recent studies have all shown that membranes fracture internally during freeze-etching or freeze-cleaving, confirming that 2 internal membrane faces are produced. That these faces are not complementary is one of the main features of freeze-etch replicas still requiring explanation. In the present investigation certain plasma membranes in light organs of the New Zealand glow worm are found to be...

The faces of both adults and children can be classified accurately by sex, even in the absence of sex-stereotyped social cues such as hair and clothing (Wild et al., 2000). Although much is known from psychological and computational studies about the information that supports sex classification for adults’ faces, children’s faces have been much less studied. The purpose of the present study was...

Previous accounts of the mechanism which generates improvement in memory when people freely choose items, compared to other methods of item assignment, conflict and lack integration. I examine facial recognition performance of 40 participants asked to choose either the most or least attractive face from a series of pairs, and find that recognition of chosen faces is greater than recognition of ...

The present study examines the lack of strong correlations among existing self-report measures of narcissism. A principal-components analysis of 6 MMPI narcissism scales resulted in 2 orthogonal factors, 1 implying Vulnerability-Sensitivity and the other Grandiosity-Exhibitionism. Although unrelated to each other, these 2 factors were associated with such core features of narcissism as conceit,...
