In most populations of Solidago altissima, a small proportion of plants have a growth pattern in which the stem bends early in the season so that the apex is pointing downward (i.e., a ‘‘candy-cane’’ stem) then straightens up again later in the season. The majority of plants, however, do not show this pattern. Instead their stems remain erect from emergence through flowering and senescence. It ...

The lead trade associations of the bio-pharma and semiconductor industries have differed systematically in their roles facilitating development innovation networks between Shanghai Shenzhen, two prominent high-tech metropolises China. Divergent associational stem from variations regional state policy regime that has exerted differential shaping influence on structure social cleavages strength r...

This paper reports on findings from a million-cell granule cell model of the rat dentate gyrus that was used to explore the contributions of local interneuronal and associational circuits to network-level activity. The model contains experimentally derived morphological parameters for granule cells, which each contain approximately 200 compartments, and biophysical parameters for granule cells,...

Hippocampal oscillations reflect coordinated neuronal activity on many timescales. Distinct types of GABAergic interneuron participate in the coordination of pyramidal cells over different oscillatory cycle phases. In the CA3 area, which generates sharp waves and gamma oscillations, the contribution of identified GABAergic neurons remains to be defined. We have examined the firing of a family o...

This paper explores the extension of collective governance to sectors without tradition. We introduce concept state-led bricolage analyze expansion Swiss apprenticeship training system – in which employer associations fulfill core tasks economic had previously followed a school-based and state-oriented logic. In deindustrializing societies, these are key for survival collectively governed syste...

Over the past twenty years, prominent theorists of citizenship envisaged cosmopolitan openings, re-making national identity, and progressive multicultural change. The paper explores perspectives on civic inclusion in Kymlicka's Multicultural Odysseys, Soysal's Limits Citizenship, Benhabib's Another Cosmopolitanism. It this work light two recent political episodes, formulation an “anti-separatis...
