One of the most prominent issues in contemporary social philosophy is democratic institutionalization change. In following paper, we analyze how such an objective must not overlook changes wrought by globalization. To this end, first present some critical responses to globalization presented thinkers (Federici, Tomba, Srnicek). Next, tackle notions ?diffuse regime transnational power?, ?lex mer...

Visual primitives have long been proposed, under the name of geons or generalized cylinders, as components for object models in the brain and in the computer. Geons constitute a structural level intermediate between features and whole objects, and can form a basis for powerful generalization between different view points. We here present a system for the extraction of geon models from images of...

The nature of the obscuring material in active galactic nuclei is still uncertain. Although some sources, such as Cygnus A, show evidence for a geometrically thick “torus” as originally suggested, recent work on the radiation-driven warping instability discovered by Pringle suggests that obscuration by thin, warped disks may play a crucial role in AGN.

The transcriptome of triangle sail mussel Hyriopsis cumingii (Lea) using Illumina paired-end sequencing technology was conducted and analyzed. Equal quantities of total RNA isolated from six tissues, including gonad, hepatopancreas, foot, mantel, gill and adductor muscle, were pooled to construct a cDNA library. A total of 58.09 million clean reads with 98.48 % Q20 bases were generated. Cluster...

A method for the large-scale isolation of beef heart mitochondrial cytochrome c1 in high purity was developed. This method gave higher yield of "one-band" cytochrome c1 than previously reported [Kim, C. H., & King, T. E. (1981) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 102, 607-614]. In addition, the present method was effective in the preparation of "two-band" cytochrome c1 which was used to prepare the ...
