The work presented herein describes an investigation of a new class of pyridine-bridged bis- (benz)imidazolium salts and N-heterocyclic pincer carbene complexes derived there from, as well as their implication as homogenious ...

The present study examines the motif of <em>Wanderlust</em> in modern literary transformations of the Homeric <em>Odyssey</em> from the nineteenth century to the present day. It poses the question of how the examined texts ...

We describe a positive characteristic analogue of the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis for the Hecke algebra of a crystallographic Coxeter system, called the <em>p</em>-canonical basis. Using Soergel calculus, we present an algorithm ...

Secreted class-III semaphorins exert their effects in axon guidance and neuronal migration by binding with receptors, such as plexins and neuropilins. Neuropilins are insufficient to convey signals of their own; rather, ...

We examine the geometric origin of discrete <em>R</em>-symmetries in heterotic orbifold compactifications. By analysing the symmetries of the worldsheet instanton solutions and the underlying geometry, we obtain a scheme ...

When the authoritarian Suharto regime fell in 1998, Indonesia entered a period of transition on democracy, known as "era reformasi" (reform era). For local Communities it brings the opportunity, which is important for them, ...

Obligate intracellular endobacteria of the genus Wolbachia are widespread in arthropods and filarial nematodes. In disease-causing filarial nematode species, responsible for over 150 million cases of human filariasis in ...

The strong Atiyah conjecture for a group G, which restricts the possible values taken by L²-Betti numbers of G-CW-complexes, implies far-reaching structural statements about a canonical *-regular ring R_ℚG, ...

While much has been written recently about the increasing geo-political and economic impact of Chinese ‘soft power’ on neighbouring countries to the West, relatively few studies explore local people’s reflections of China’s ...

In the developing world, especially in Africa, land is the main livelihood resource and a communal intergenerational asset. African land tenure has come under pressure due to growing land commodification, especially under ...
