A Molecular View of Heterogeneous Catalysis

This volume contains the texts of the conferences presented at the First Francqui Colloquium, held in Brussels on 19 and 20 February 1996 and organised by Professor Eric G. Derouane, 1994 Francqui Prize, Director of the Leverhulme Centre for Innovative Catalysis at the University of Liverpool. These conferences cover broadly the field of molecular heterogeneous catalysis, including catalyst preparation, theory, modelling, new concepts, reactivity, and vistas.

The Trypanosome Surface

The Trypanosome Surface

This book deals with the cellular surface of the parasite Trypanosoma brucei, which is responsible for human sleeping sickness and the nagana disease of cattle, two plagues of the African continent. In the mammalian bloodstream, the trypanosome evades the immune defenses of the host through a continuous variation of its major surface antigen, the VSG (Variant Surface Glycoprotein). The first part of the book is devoted to the study of the genetic mechanisms involved in this process of antigenic variation. The second part is focused on the genetic mechanisms underlying the changes of surface proteins which occur during the life-cycle of the parasite, alternating between the tsetse fly and the mammal. Finally, our knowledge about the surface receptors of trypanosomes, as well as their possible vaccination potential against trypanosomiases, is discussed.

Social Organization and Mechanism Design

By presenting a collection of contributions by leading experts, this book illustrates the variety of issues that the discipline of "mechanism design", as a branch of game theory, is capable of dealing with : voting rules, trial procedures, public good production, cost-sharing, monopolistic regulation, bequest function, etc. However, the book illustrates also the fundamental unity of the basic questions : information gathering, communication, individual as well as coalitional strategic and dynamic behavior.

This book contains the proceedings as well as invited papers for the first annual conference of the UNESCO Unitwin Complex System Digital Campus (CSDC), which is an international initiative gathering 120 Universities on four continents, and structured in ten E-Departments. First Complex Systems Digital Campus World E-Conference 2015 features chapters from the latest research results on theoretical questions of complex systems and their experimental domains. The content contained bridges the gap between the individual and the collective within complex systems science and new integrative sciences on topics such as: genes to organisms to ecosystems, atoms to materials to products, and digital m...

Cultural Diversity Versus Economic Solidarity

Cultural Diversity Versus Economic Solidarity

Du fait de l'immigration, la diversité culturelle et linguistique de nos sociétés a tendance à augmenter. Du fait d'interdépendances multiples, nous devons aussi de plus en plus fonctionner au niveau d'entités plurinationales, comme l'Union européenne, qui connaissent une diversité culturelle et linguistique sensiblement plus grande que chacune de leurs composantes. N'est-il pas d'autant plus difficile d'organiser durablement une solidarité généreuse au sein d'une population qu'elle est plus hétérogène culturellement et linguistiquement ? Si c'est le cas, les politiques dites " multiculturelles " sont-elle de nature à adoucir cette tension ou au contraire à l'exacerber ? C'est autour de ces questions que Philippe Van Parijs a rassemblé des chercheurs de divers horizons, mondialement réputés, pour deux jours de discussion intense. Ce livre reprend l'ensemble des communications et commentaires, suivi de conclusions personnelles par Brian Barry, Will Kymlicka et Philippe Van Parijs.

Strings and Gravity

La théorie de la gravitation d'Einstein ("relativité générale") est un des piliers de la physique moderne. Cette théorie a connu des développements spectaculaires ces dernières années, aussi bien sur le plan expérimental que sur le plan théorique. En particulier, la théorie des cordes, née il y a une quinzaine d'années, offre des perspectives remarquables d'unification de la force gravitationnelle aux autres forces fondamentales - réalisant ainsi un des vieux rêves d'Einstein. Cet ouvrage rassemble les contributions des experts mondiaux du domaine ayant participé au colloque Francqui qui s'est tenu sur ce thème à Bruxelles du 19 au 21 octobre 2001. Einstein theory of gravit...

Migration, Stability and Solidarity

  • Publisher: Nomos Verlag

Der Band befasst sich mit zwei in der Migrationsethik weitgehend unerforschten Konzepten: politische Stabilität und Solidarität. In seinem einleitenden Artikel argumentiert Michael Blake, dass der Rawls'sche Begriff der öffentlichen Vernunft den von autoritären Bewegungen ausgehenden Bedrohungen der Stabilität nicht gerecht werden kann. In ihren Beiträgen untersuchen Raissa Wihby Ventura , Bodi Wang, Susanne Mantel, Wolfram Cremer, Dimitrios Efthymiou, Esma Baycan Herzog, Gottfried Schweiger, Alberto Pirni, Costanza Porro, Christine Straehle, Corinna Mieth und Thorben Knobloch das Thema Migration auf neuartige Weise. Sie erörtern das Verhältnis von Stabilität zu Identität und Zusammenhalt, die Frage, wie Pflichten gegenüber Migranten und Mitbürgern zu definieren sind und die Konzeptualisierung einwanderungsfeindlicher Gegenreaktionen. Der Band schließt mit einer Antwort von Michael Blake.
