Other approaches usually focus on evaluating only some of the quality characteristics a

Toward an integrative personality psychology

Previous attempts to construct an integrative framework for personality psychology are primarily descriptions of what the field looks like today rather than analyses of its logical structure and research possibilities. I aim to draw attention to logically important points that may help to integrate the field and suggest potentially fruitful research paths that are unrealized due to historical c

Functional Studies of Telomere-Binding Proteins in Saccharomyces castellii

Telomeres are the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes. The telomeres are essential for solving the end replication problem and they stabilize the genome by protection from degradation. The telomeres also protect the chromosomal ends from by being recognized as DNA breaks by the repair machinery, which could lead to end-to-end fusions. Dysfunctional telomeres are implicated in many complex cellul

The Changing Nature of Knowledge. Mapping the Discourse of the Malmo Longitudinal Study 1939-1995

These propositions have so far never
