The Voting Rights Act of 1965 forever changed the face of electoral equality in the United States. Today, almost forty years later, the Act is considered one of the most pivotal pieces of federal legislation in our country’s history and the “most successful piece of civil rights legislation ever enacted.” Congress has revisited various segments of the Act ave times since its enactment. A key 19...

Rumah Kaca, or House of Glass, is the last episode Pramoedya’s Tetralogy Buru, and it gives “a surprise,” a shocking end Minke’s postcolonial strives. Here, he died several days after his coming home from exile. This looks surely to present catastrophe native’s hope dream. The strategy colonial government in conducting “house glass” has gone successful death might stop any local political activ...

Abstract Immigration has increased as a transnational phenomenon in Europe recent years. A total of 2.4 million people migrated to one the EU-28 Member States during 2018 discussed by Eurostat (2020). This new reality presents us with challenges, barriers, and paradigms intervention. In this context, leisure become most important tools for inclusion population development strengthening civic va...

Climate change poses significant threats to biodiversity, but some species may be able to escape its effects in small locations with unusual and stable climates (microrefugia). However, there are still great uncertainties about where microrefugia are located, and the exact role that moisture plays in buffering extreme temperatures. In this study we quantified the effects of moisture on the dist...

The publication in 1984 of Bertil Hille's Ionic Channels in Excitable Membranes (Hille, 1984) marked a milestone and turning point in the field of ion channel biophysics and physiology. Not only did it provide a scholarly , comprehensive, and clearly written summary of the historical and conceptual framework of the field, it provided an essential introduction for beginners, including, important...

Many different models can be built to explain the distributions of species. Often there is no single model that is clearly better than the alternatives, and this leads to uncertainty over which environmental factors are limiting species’ distributions. We investigated the support for different environmental factors by determining the drop in model performance when selected predictors were exclu...

Message Driven Computation (MIX) is a model of computation with which we haw been eqerimenting at the Illinois Institute of Technology. It is our h i r e to prove the viability of MDC in practice for the expression of parallel algorithms and the implementation of ficnctional and datajlbw programming hguuges. In the following pages we &cuss our implementation of the Lucid programming language in...

the difficult task of presenting an overview of the sizable to commonly recognized classes of voltage-or ligand-literature about membrane channels and their potential gated channels, but instead includes the general proper-involvement in disease. Furthermore, in numerous in-ties and the potential clinical roles of a wide variety of stances, the author summarizes how the genetic dys-membrane cha...

Considerable errors may be introduced in storm intensity estimations and their subsequent applications if raw surface wind speed records are not corrected to properly account for exposure effects. This study investigates the calculation of correction factors ( ECFs $$ \mathrm{ECFs} ) by different theoretical code-based models. Estimation roughness length z 0 {z}_0 based on suitable gustiness mo...
