Well-known for his writing on Happenings, performance art, and avantgarde theatre, Michael Kirby also produced a series of highly notable photo-sculptures. Developed in conjunction with the theoretical concept of “situational aesthetics,” these “embedded sculptures” were conceived of as “visual instruments” that explored the relationship of space, time, context, and beholder.

Here it is shown that the gravitational anomaly is compensated by the torsion term in the Einstein–Cartan action when the geometrical and topological origin of torsion is considered in the context of quantum geometry characterizing the quantization procedure of a fermion. The relationship of this anomaly with Pontryagin index is then established. The relevance of this index in the origin of topological fixtures like wormholes in space-time has also been discussed.

ABSTRACTEven if ideas of measurement did not exist, a great deal of the simple mechanical and electromagnetic structure of the physical world could be understood. To see how this can be so, the orthodox ideas of the relationship of mathematics to physics are inadequate. In this paper a development of this fundamental non-metrical physics is made to depend on a different view of this relationship.

We demonstrate that in many cases, known frame-dependent transport equations for a propagating electromagnetic 2-form in an arbitrarily curved space-time can be replaced by a much simpler set of frame-independent equations. The frame-dependent equations can then be more easily recovered from the simpler set presented here if required. The relationship of such transport equations to the WKB approximation is also briefly discussed.

Formal Characteristic

The paper concerns sensory sensitivity (SS), a formal characteristic of behavior Strelau introduced in his regulative theory of temperament (RTT). SS is the ability to react to sensory stimuli of low stimulatory value. It contributes to the regulation of stimulation by setting thresholds for the stimulatory input an individual is able to react to. Strelau’s recognition of the orthogonal character of SS and emotional reactivity is the strength of the theoretical concept of SS. However, this approach fails to give the multimodality of sensory perception and the relationship of SS to attention sufficient consideration. References to other theories of sensitivity and the relevant empirical findings shed light on the theoretical and functional value of Strelau’s concept of SS. Both the theory and the corresponding SS scale in the Formal Characteristics of Behavior – Temperament Inventory (FCB-TI) reveal certain weaknesses. This paper presents a critical approach to both the theoretical approach to SS in the RTT and its operationalization. It gives suggestions for the revision of the theoretical construct of SS and of its psychometric measure. Recognizing the multiple sense-specific sensitivities would transform the concept of SS into a configuration of modality-specific sensitivities and produce an individual sensitivity profile.

Purpose. The article addresses the issue of cooperation between the authorities, on the one hand and tourist entrepreneurs as well as non-profit organizations on the other in the development of tourism. The aim of the article is to present the factors determining the participation and activity of tourist entrepreneurs in local governance. Method. In the theoretical part of this paper, the ways of understanding governance were discussed, highlighting its ambiguity as a theoretical concept and a method for the description and analysis of governing practices. In the empirical part, the results of interviews conducted among 15 tourism entrepreneurs operating in the Polish Carpathians were presented. These helped to identify the expectations, motivation and barriers of subjects who were entering the tourist business and attempted to closely collaborate with local authorities in governance. Findings. In the conclusion, it was stated e.g., that by cooperating with the local government, entrepreneurs join resources with government institutions and implement them. In this manner, the Carpathian tourist companies attempt to mobilize the authorities in order to complete the main tasks that are considered strategic for the development of local tourism. Research and conclusion limitations. Exploratory research. Practical implications. The results can be used in the governing practices of local authorities. Originality. The article fills the gap concerning the shortage of domestic scientific literature on the relationship of governance and tourism development at a local level. Type of paper. Empirical research.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Insight Into

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.

Electron microscopy has proved to be an invaluable discipline in studies on the relationship of viruses to the origin of leukemia, sarcoma, and other types of tumors in animals and man. The successful cell-free transmission of leukemia and sarcoma in mice, rats, hamsters, and cats, interpreted as due to a virus or viruses, was proved to be due to a virus on the basis of electron microscope studies. These studies demonstrated that all the types of neoplasia in animals of the species examined are produced by a virus of certain characteristic morphological properties similar, if not identical, in the mode of development in all types of neoplasia in animals, as shown in Fig. 1.
