grotesque was introduced to european literature by the middle of sixteenth century, though previous definitions of this terminology were available before. although this term was introduced to aesthetics at the same time with its introduction to philosophy of arts, kayser made it official and defined it as an expression of alienation and the chaotic world in the nineteenth century. grotesque, as...

The development of individual differences in behaviour in a novel environment, in the presence of a strange fish and during aggressive interactions with a mirror-image was studied in the lion-headed cichlid (Steatocranus casuarius, Teleostei, Cichlidae). No consistency in behaviour was found at 4-5.5 months of age. However, behaviours scored in situations involving a discrete source of stress (...

Females of at least 8 species of rodent will terminate pregnancies after exposure to a "strange" male or his odors in the laboratory. Although only suggestive evidence exists for the occurrence of pregnancy interruption in the field, this laboratory phenomenon has been assigned important adaptive roles in the reproductive biology of rodents. In the present study, the extent of pregnancy interru...

The current study was carried out to investigate the functions of the ritual speech act of ‘ya Allah’ (literally meaning ‘O God’) employed by Iranians in social interactions. To this end, sixty-two Persian native speakers of different age groups, ranging from 35 to 85, of both genders were observed in 250 natural situations such as daily interactions, gatherings, public or private places and lo...

In 1999 HRSA contracted with the UCLA School of Dentistry to evaluate the impact of federal funding on postgraduate general dentistry programs. Part of that evaluation analyzed curriculum emphasis and preparation of incoming residents in advanced general dentistry programs over a five-year period. Directors of 208 civilian AEGD and GPR programs were surveyed about the curriculum content of thei...

We review the methods and results obtained in an analysis of the experimental heavy ion collision research program at nuclear beam energy of 160–200A GeV. We study strange, and more generally, hadronic particle production experimental data. We discuss present expectations concerning how these observables will perform at other collision energies. We also present the dynamical theory of strangene...
