URBAN RUINS AND THE NEO -PICTURESQUE LANDSCAPE

Urban Ruins and the Neo -Picturesque Landscape

While classical ruins are seen as tourist destinations, contemporary or industrial ruins are dismissed as disused sites.In this paper I argue for the preservation of urban (or contemporary) ruins.I focus on one LPs specific case, that of the Miami Marine Stadium in Miami, Florida USA.Since the 1990s the stadium has been derelict, a canvas for graff

Gastrin-releasing peptide signaling plays a limited and subtle role in amygdala physiology and aversive memory.

Links between synaptic plasticity in the lateral amygdala (LA) and Pavlovian fear learning are well established.Neuropeptides including gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) can modulate LA function.GRP increases inhibition in the LA and mice lacking the GRP receptor (GRPR KO) show more pronounced and persistent fear after single-trial associative learni

Intra-EU Direct Investment and Enlargement

This paper examines the determinants of the intra-EU direct investment (IDI) into the New Member States (NMS) using a panel dataset of bilateral capital flows for the period 1993-2013.It is found out by using a simple gravity model that EU membership is the most important determinant.Unlike previous Nutrients studies including non-EU countries, the

Variation in Thickness of Embryo Covering Structures and Their Role in the Regulation of Seed Physiological Dormancy of Chenopodium hircinum (Amaranthaceae)

Chenopodium hircinum, the putative wild ancestor of quinoa, is a source of traits that could improve the tolerance of crop quinoa to high temperatures.However, seeds of C.hircinum have physiological dormancy (PD), which is Transmitter an obstacle for plant propagation and use in breeding programs.We studied the intraspecific variability in morpho-a
