one of the most important playwrights who had a great influence and control on post-war american drama was arthur miller. in his plays, miller shows the contrasting values in american capitalistic society. in all my sons, he shows that how materialistic values become much more important in a society where people are alienated from each other and are fragmented. he also portrays a society which ...

the normativity of mental content thesis appears to have been the most influential in contemporary philosophy of mind. paul boghossian (2003, 2005) has developed an argument for the normativity of mental content on the basis of two premises, i.e. firstly, the normativity of the notion of belief and secondly, the priority of the notion of belief to the notion of desire. in his recent article ale...

in order to investigate the influence of bio- and chemical fertilizers on growth parameters and essential oil of fennel (foeniculum vulgare miller.), an experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with five treatments and three replications was carried out. arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (strain sebacina vermifera) and phosphate dissolving bacteria (genera peseudomonas) were applied as ...

the medicinal plants have been used since ancient times and are still utilized by the majority of the population. hence, it is essential to investigate the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of these plants. the aim of this study was to evaluate the toxic effects of fennel seeds decoctions, traditionally used in iran as an herbal remedy.  the cytotoxicity was tested in vitro using allium cepa l. r...

We generalize the classical theorem of Serre on the non-triviality of infinitely many homotopy groups of 1-connected finite CW-complexes to CW-complexes where the cohomology groups either grow too fast or do not grow faster than a certain rate given by connectivity. For example, this result can be applied to iterated suspensions of finite Postnikov systems and certain spaces with finitely gener...

We measure second-order nonlinear coefficients using optical parametric amplification and second-harmonic generation over a range of wavelengths for the crystals KNbO3, KTiOPO4, KTiOAsO4, LiNbO3, LiIO3, b-BaB2O4, KH2PO4, and LiB3O5. Combining our new measurements with previously reported values, we compare the wavelength variation of individual dijk’s with Miller scaling, and we conclude that M...
