Governing Technologies: Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), Education, and Political Power in China

Information and Communication Technologies for education (ICT4E) have been playing an increasingly important role in schooling and training worldwide. On the one hand, they are expected to bridge various divides e.g. between developed and developing countries, urban and rural regions, affluent and poor neighborhoods etc., by spreading the most up-to-date knowledge and skills into every classroom o

Follow Your Heart and Nothing Else: Thoughts on the Religious Anarcho-Primitivist Message of Lynyrd Skynyrd

This article maintains that the well-known Souther Rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd has a long-neglected religious anarcho- primitivist message in their lyrics. By neglecting the state, celebrating simple living, and advocating the individual conscience as the highest moral authority, the band's theological-political stance seems to approximate the anarcho-primitivst teachings of the Dao de Jing.

Interfacial nanofabrication strategies in development of new functional nanomaterials and planar supramolecular nanostructures for nanoelectronics and nanotechnology

Clusters, nanoparticles, nanowires, long molecules as nanotubes and polynucleotides, and functional supramolecular nanostructures are currently considered as potential building blocks for nanotechnology and nanoelectronic devices and circuits, and development and introduction of new methods to control effectively their structure, composition and nanoscale organization are necessary. Here we descri

Transcriptional regulation and effects on differentiation by LMO proteins and the basic helix-loop-helix factors TAL1 and HEN1

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most widespread type of cancer, as well as the most frequent leukemia in children. Malignant ALL cells originate from normal T lymphocytes or B cells that are blocked at immature stages of differentiation. Since T cell lineage derived ALL in children is associated with various unfavorable features, it is no surprise that childhood T lineage ALL have been r

E-Business in a Vendor-Customer Interface: Implications for Logistics Concerning Physical Distribution and Information Management

In today’s business environment the use of e-business is gradually becoming more common. This paper sets out to highlight the implications for logistical operations and possible future developments in a vendor-customer relationship (B2B environment) when e-business is introduced. The paper implies that use of an e-business solution does not necessarily mean any changes in the physical distribution

Cross-modal integration of simple auditory and visual events

Responses are typically faster and more accurate when both auditory and visual modalities are stimulated than when only one is. This bimodal advantage is generally attributed to a speeding of responding on bimodal trials, relative to unimodal trials. It remains possible that this effect might be due to a performance decrement on unimodal ones. To investigate this, two levels of auditory and visual
