ARTICLE The Tragedy of the Commons Garrett Hardin At the end of a thoughtful article on the future of nuclear war, Wiesner and York (1) concluded that: “Both sides in the arms race are . . . confronted by the dilemma of steadily increasing military power and steadily decreasing national security. It is our considered professional judgment that this dilemma has no technical solution. If the great powers continue to look for solutions in the area of science and technology only, the…

Cytology Final 1. Biology as science of life 1. General Characters of biology as a science - scientific study of living organisms, plants and animals - ‘bios’ mean life and ‘logos’ means thought, discourse of reasoning - Botany : study of plans - Zoology : study of animals - Microbiology : embrances that vast assembly of microorganisms, many of which do not fit neatly into either animal world or the world of plants 2. Subject-matter of biology - all living organisms of our

Genetique, CBIG (Centre of Biomedical Integrative ´ Genoproteomics), Universite de ` ` Liege, B-4000 Liege, Belgium 4 3 2 1 We report the solution structure of human prolactin determined by NMR spectroscopy. Our result is a significant improvement over a previous structure in terms of number and distribution of distance restraints, regularity of secondary structure, and potential energy. More significantly, the structure is sufficiently different that it leads to different conclusions…

no cotidiano das empresas, ele possui uma estreita relação com o ambiente político e, por consequência, com o ambiente legislativo. A economia brasileira cresceu 2,3% em 2013, segundo dados do PIB divulgados pelo IBGE. O resultado supera a alta de 1% de 2012, mas converte-se no terceiro ano de fraco crescimento econômico. As exportações avançaram 2,5% num ritmo menor do que o crescimento das importações que obteve alta de 8,4%. Esse descompasso mostra que o setor externo contribuiu…
