The main premise of this paper is that in information societies generally, and in virtual social contexts particularly, a distinctive style of interaction to facilitate the communication of difference, heterotopic communication, has emerged. It rests on two cultural foundations: an ideological belief in the positive, socially integrating power of communication, and a prevailing ethic of instrum...

The role of the sensitivity of bone marrow cells to, and the pharmacokinetics of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on the rhythm of leukocyte-increasing effect was investigated in ICR male mice housed under a standardized light-dark cycle (lights on at 0700, off at 1900). A significant circadian rhythm was demonstrated for leukocyte counts at 24 hr after G-CSF (250 microg/kg, s.c.) ...

D. DESSERTINE and 0. FAURE, Combattre la tuberculose, 1900-1940, Lyons, Presses Universitaires de Lyon, 1988, 8vo, pp. 244, illus., Fr. 110.00, (paperback). Recent French contributions to the history of tuberculosis have been impressive, often iconoclastic, and this volume is a valuable addition to the corpus. As Pierre Guillaume set out to destroy the Western myth of tuberculosis as the gentle...

Gustav Jacob Born was an experimental embryologist whose original work with amphibians [5] served as the platform for his wax-plate method [6] of embryo modeling, heteroblastic (different tissues) and xenoplastic (similar species) transplantation methods, environmental influences on sex ratio studies, and proposed function of the corpus luteum [7]. He was born 22 April 1851 in Kempen, Prussia, ...

A definitive history of geomagnetism is yet to be written, but brief accounts have appeared in various publications. The story up to 1940 has been summarized (Chapman and Bartels, pp. 898-936). Perhaps the most complete account is by David R. Barraclough (pp. 584-592). Brief accounts have also been given by Stuart Malin (in Jacobs, ed., Geomagnetism, 1: 1-50), and others (Multhauf and Good, pp....

This biographical sketch of R. Merle d’Aubigné corresponds to the historic text, The Classic: Functional Results of Hip Arthroplasty with Acrylic Prosthesis, available at DOI 10.1007/s11999-008-0572-1. Robert Merle d’Aubigné was born in 1900 in Neuilly, from a Huguenot family [9]. He had a classical education at the Lycée Pasteur [5] and at age 17 wanted to enlist in the tank corps, but with tw...

The scalar mediation of the object through the space of representation ensures design methodologies based on similitude or procedural techniques must initially work upon appropriated forms. Given that translation ensures that these forms remain as a trace the architectural object is implicitly reliant on the application of analogy. While still bound to the act of drawing in, on or through the d...

syndrome is a rare congenital syndrome involving enlarged veins and arteries, limb hypertrophy and capillary malformations. In 1900, French physicians, Klippel and Trenaunay, first described what became known as Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome after two patients presented with a triad of symptoms — port-wine stain, varicose veins, and bony and soft tissue hypertrophy involving an extremity (Klippel ...

Poleward ocean heat transport is a key process in the earth system. We detail and review northward Atlantic Water (AW) flow, Arctic Ocean transport, loss to atmosphere since 1900 relation sea ice cover. Our synthesis largely based on ice-ocean model forced by reanalysis (1900–2018) corroborated comprehensive hydrographic database (1950–), AW inflow observations (1996–), other long-term time ser...
