“…The exciting world of crystalline silicon is the source of the spectacular advancement of discrete electronic devices and solar cells. The exploitation of ever changing properties of crystalline silicon with dimensional transformation may indicate more innovative silicon based technologies in near future. …”

“…As evidenced by the clientele in any urban coffee shop, devices such as cell phones, BlackBerries, and Wi-Fi-enabled laptops have proliferated, particularly during the past ten years. …”

“…Some microorganisms may benefit host when ingested as viable cells carried by food and beverages. This falls in the intriguing field of probiotics, recently brought forward by the numerous probiotic claims rejected by the European Food Safety Authority. …”

“…One of the most surprising findings in this field was the involvement of glial cells in the pathophysiology of major depression and in the action of antidepressants, namely in mechanisms related with adult neurogenesis imbalances or dendritic arborization impairments. …”

“…Using multiple species model, we also review how genes and the neuroendocrine system interact at the cell and organismic levels to contribute to social behavior in particular the epigenetic genomic changes caused by early life environment. …”

“…Giorgio Prodi’s seminal book, originally published in Italian in 1977, poses the question from the opposite perspective: his ‘natural history of meaning’ does not depict a biological universe that behaves as if it spoke, but a cultural universe structured even at its highest levels according to the same modes and processes of mutual adaptation and ‘reading’ that happen at the level of cells. The picture he paints shows us knowledge at its origin, as a process of environmental adaptation and interpretation, in which the discoveries of biology interact with those of semiotics. …”

“…Le présent document vise à identifier les normes auxquelles les pays candidats à l’adhésion à l’Union européenne (UE) sont censés se conformer en vue d’aligner leurs administrations publiques sur celles des Etats membres de l’UE. S’inspirant des travaux du programme SIGMA qui concernent la réforme de l’administration publique dans les pays d’Europe centrale et orientale, notamment l’aménagement de la fonction publique et le contrôle administratif, ce document rend compte d’éléments essentiels de la méthode utilisée par SIGMA pour évaluer les capacités des pays candidats en matière d’administration publique…”
