fo'c'sle-study running his naval household with the aid of an Admiralty of natural history suppliers and breeders, as well as experts like Lyell, Hooker and the young Huxley in every port. Beatrice Webb once likened Herbert Spencer to a spider collecting facts on the theoretical web he was spinning; the image equally well suits Darwin. A pleasure to read, this exciting new biography deepens our...

The C-C bond formation is an important reaction in organic synthesis to obtain value-added intermediates. Therefore, in this paper an attempt has been made to accelerate the Henry reaction (C-C bond formation) between aryl aldehydes and nitromethane using less expensive whole cell biocatalyst, baker’s yeast (BY). The scope of the methodology was also tested for the heteryl aldehyde i.e. 2-chlor...

the ionic liquid, n,n,n,n-tetramethylguanidiniumtriflate (tmgtf) was found to be an efficient catalyst solvent for henry reaction between nitromethane and isatin derivatives to provide 3-hydroxy-3-(nitromethyl)indolin-2-one under mild conditions. the ionic liquid amenable to successive recycling without appreciable decrease in activity. synthesized compounds have been screened for their anti-di...

Teams, departments, communities, etc., are very prevalent in organizations and society. Membership in those groups may affect the willingness of members to engage in prosocial behaviors like altruistic cooperation, or norm enforcement, which enhance efficiency but involve no personal material reward (e.g., Akerlof and Kranton 2000, 2005). Group boundaries might impact prosocial behavior through...

Researchers have shown that bicultural individuals, including 2nd-generation immigrants, face a potential conflict between 2 cultural identities. The present authors extended this primarily qualitative research on the bicultural experience by adopting the social identity perspective (H. Tajfel & J. C. Turner, 1986). They developed and tested an empirically testable model of the role of cultural...

Social comparison is a core element of human life (Festinger, 1954; Mussweiler, 2003; Tajfel, 1981; for a collection, see Suls and Wheeler, 2000). This is because comparing oneself to others is the most favored way people use to evaluate themselves. People choose to compare themselves to others with a variety of goals in mind. Obviously, a major concern would be informational: people like to kn...
