This contribution deals with the interdependence of Eastern and Western Europe in the present historical developments. It emphasizes the importance to distinguish analytically between the social and the cultural. Pointing out an increasing neglect of the social in theory and research particularly with respect to the post-communist societies of Eastern and East-Central Europe. As social structur...

. Abstract: Polychaete species composition, abundance and seasonal variation were analyzed in relation to Spartina alterniflora cover and tide levei at Ponta do Arrozal, Cananéia, during 1989/1990. Two intertidal stations were located on the S. alterniflora OOlt,one ca mean high water of neap tides (MHWN) and the other ca mean high water of spring tides (MHWS). Two other stations were establish...

in coastal areas, hydrodynamic factors make changes in shorelines geomorphology. this can affect coastal facilities and cause hazards to human societies in the areas. this study has investigated the influence of wave and tide properties on khamir port, hormoz strait in coast of persian gulf. the purpose of the study is to make a mathematical regional and local modeling of water level fluctuatio...

The article was written in response to a request by the editors of A LR for material on the policy of the Communist Party of Japan in the struggle for the return of Okinawa and against the US-Japan Security Treaty. Written prior to the SatoNixon negotiations, the article correctly predicted the ou...

The Soviet communist regime had devastating consequences on the state of Russian twentieth century science. Country Communist leaders promoted Trofim Lysenko--an agronomist and keen supporter of the inheritance of acquired characters--and the Soviet government imposed a complete ban on the practice and teaching of genetics, which it condemned as a "bourgeois perversion". Russian science, which ...

In this article we propose a stylistic analysis of Solomon Marcus’ publicistics, gathered in six volumes, aiming to uncover some of his quantitative and qualitative fingerprints. Moreover, we compare and cluster two distinct periods of time in his writing style: 22 years of communist regime (1967-1989) and 27 years of democracy (1990-2016). The distributional analysis of Marcus’ text reveals th...

In natural waterways and estuaries, the understanding of turbulent mixing is critical to the knowledge of sediment transport, stormwater runoff during flood events, and release of nutrient-rich wastewater into ecosystems. In the present study, some field measurements were conducted in a small subtropical estuary with micro-tidal range and semi-diurnal tides during king tide conditions: i.e., th...

Near-global and continuous measurements from satellite altimetry have provided accurate estimates of global mean sea level in the past two decades. Extending these estimates further into the past is a challenge using the historical tide gauge records. Not only is sampling nonuniform in both space and time, but tide gauges are also affected by vertical land motion (VLM) that creates a relative s...
