3 edge, methods and theory. I turn now to some of my own reflections on this score. Some Reflections My first proposition is that if we are interested in analyzing the performance and dynamic properties of the world's economies, it is only at significant peril that comparative economists can overlook noneconomic or "political" factors. This is not to say that it is illegitimate to abstract from non-economic factors for particular purposes, rat...

This meant an acknowledgement and at the same time a heavy burden for the still young European Cell Biology Organization, which repre­ sents a junction of European societies and groups for cell biology. In practical terms, this meant that the members of the young and, compare...

For medical scientists, biologists and geographers interest­ ed in geomedical problems the helminthiases can be a fas­ cinating object of research. Their distribution is due to the in part very complicated parasite life cycles which fre­ quently depend on the presence of intermediate hosts. The search for the causes of the distribution of helminthiases requires to take into account not only such geofactors as affect the parasite developmental ...
