During the nineties of the last century, historians and computer scientists created together a research agenda around the life cycle of historical information. It comprised the tasks of creation, design, enrichment, editing, retrieval, analysis and presentation of historical information with help of information technology. They also identified a number of problems and challenges in this field, ...

This paper introduces the idea of a non-kinship-based Universal-family firm, an organizational form we developed based on interpreting historical writings in their socio-economic context. We analyzed Luke’s gospel with an eye toward drawing implications for the stewardship-agency debate in the contemporary family business literature. Our paper makes contributions at two important levels. In add...

For quantitative determination of lignin, we have invasive (gravimetric determination i. e. ASTM, TAPPI, SCAN) and non-invasive methods on our disposal. Invasive methods are not suitable for historical documents. On the other hand, several spectroscopic techniques are in use, based on IR and UV spectroscopy. The absorption of light of λ > 300 310 nm by pure cellulose is minimal and most UVspect...

Trends and past achievements in the field of food colloids are reviewed. Specific mention is made of advances in knowledge and understanding in the areas of (i) structure and rheology of protein gels, (ii) properties of adsorbed protein layers, (iii) functionality derived from protein-polysaccharide interactions, and (iv) oral processing of food colloids. Amongst ongoing experimental developmen...

JULY 2004 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | T his paper originated from a talk given at the sixth annual meeting of the Atmospheric Science Librarians International, at the 2003 American Meteorological Society (AMS) annual meeting, on 13 February 2003. Because one of the themes of the meeting was the history of the atmospheric sciences, I was asked to give a talk about doing research on the his...

The chromatoid body (CB) is a male reproductive cell-specific organelle that appears in spermatocytes and spermatids. The cytoplasmic granule corresponding to the CB was first discovered some 130 years ago by von Brunn in 1876. Thirty years later the German term "chromatoide Körper" (chromatoid body) was introduced to describe this granule and is still used today. In this review, first, the res...

The digitalization of cultural materials is doubtless a key-enabler for increasing accessibility of cultural heritage documents, e.g., historical texts. In the last decade Semantic Digital Libraries (see, e.g., [1]) have attracted the attention of research communities coming from different research areas, such as Cultural Heritage, History, and Knowledge Engineering. In order to find more innov...

Popular communication research can benefit from a historical approach. Consistent with current approaches, historical research is contextual (e.g., looking at actual audiences in natural settings). It is also comparative. Comparing radio to television helps to highlight by contrast features not otherwise noticed, including assumptions we have made unawares. Historical research is developmental,...

Transportation and handling is generally regarded as stressful to cattle and includes both physical and psychological stimuli that might be aversive. Historical accounts relate high mortality during the early days of transport and concerns for the welfare of cattle that are similar to those today. Behavior, pathology, and physiology are all used to identify stress in response to transportation....
