                  Description:
                  The Proton Inventory (PI) method has been applied in the hydrolysis of synthetic substrates by papain, chymopapain and stem bromelain, comparing also their corresponding pH-(k"c"a"t/K"m) profiles, and it was found: (a) k"c"a"t/K"m=k"1, and thus K"S=k"2/k"1 is a dynamic equilibrium constant, (b) bowed-downward PI for k"c"a"t/K"m exhibiting large inverse SIE, and (c) linear PI exhibiting large normal SIE for K"S, k"2 and k"3. A novel finding of this work is that the association of substrates onto all three studied cysteine proteinases proceeds via a stepwise pathway, in contrast to purely concerted pathways found previously for both acylation and deacylation. A hydrogen bond, which seems more likely to be developed across a pK"a-value close to 4.00, connecting D"C"O"O"^"-^1^5^8 and/or N"O"^"@d"^"1^1^5^7, with the positively charged H"N"^"@d"^"1"-"H"^"@d"^"1^1^5^9 and/or H"N"^"@d"^"1"-"H"^"@d"^"1^1^5^8 (papain/chymopapain or bromelain numbering), constitutes another novelty of this work.

                        In the quantum world, a particle can behave like a wave and accordingly seems to be in two places at the same time. This of course is contradictory to our daily experiences with classical particles. How then should this be understood? What happens in the transitional area between the classical world and quantum mechanics? The present book answers exciting questions like these in a way that is easy to follow and to understand and is shows that the link between these two worlds will have concrete and applied effects on our daily life in the near future. It will, for example, improve and change the conventional methods of information processing. With the help of quantum cryptography, it will be possible to communicate tap-proof. Using quantum computers we will be able to solve highly complicated problems in a very short time.

                          Book Description

                          To help stoke the Christmas spirit and provide a respite from the annual blizzard of commercialism and family obligations, these twenty tales offer a heartwarming and enlightening look at Christmas from the perspective of some of America's most gifted and well-loved writers of the early twentieth century and before.

                          Some celebrate traditional Yuletide sentiments while others present surprising twists on the Christmas theme or portray alluring characters involved in unexpected circumstances. Many take place in America, but some are set on foreign soil, such as in Italy and the Arctic. A wide range of social situations is represented (i.e., not all are about New York socialites discovering the true meaning of Christmas), and not every one has a conventional happy ending, but all offer compelling and original insights into the human condition within the context of Christmas.

                          There are well-known tales of love and sacrifice such as O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" but also more obscure stories from other celebrated but perhaps less-well-known authors. Writers represented include Nathaniel Hawthorne, Jack London, Frank Stockton, Mary Agnes Tincker, Robert Grant, Edward Eggleston, Sarah Orne Jewett, Bret Harte, and many others. This compact collection of Christmas literary gems is a perfect gift and will be a treasure for years to come.

                          4 out of 5 stars An outstanding guide to current military aircraft in service.......1999-08-07

                          This is one of the best books out there for a concise review of current in service military aircraft today. It ranges from types just coming into service to the old veterans with only a few months or years left. Recommended as a great value.

                          5 out of 5 stars This Is The Book!.......1999-02-09

                          This is a great book.I wrote a comment on the last issue and that was a great book also.I ordered this book about 5 weeks ago and I'm still looking at it.Whenever I hear of a plane I have not seen I look it up in here.Like I said in my last comment I am a military aircraft nut and I love this book!This book has it all from fighters,bombers,reconnaissance,to helecopters this is the book!

                                      3 out of 5 stars Provocative interpretations and thought-provoking book.......2005-10-05


                                      Knowledge is Power by John Henry (Cambridge, England: Icon Books, 2002).

                                      This short, quick read attempts to put into context Francis Bacon's contribution to and status in Empiricism (and modern science).

                                      Henry notes that Bacon was the first great advocate of the use of empirical investigation as a means to gain knowledge, as well as an advocate of the goal of increasing knowledge for the sake of benefitting the human race.

                                      Henry believes that Bacon's motivation was a religious one. He argues that Bacon saw the increase of knowledge as a way to hasten the Millennium (or second coming of Christ). He argues that Bacon felt the Aristotelian tradition, embraced since the Middle Ages by the Catholic Church, and based on non-empirical, deductive reasoning, was a dead end as far as the quest for new knowledge goes.

                                      He argues that Bacon felt that he could provide a new, better approach to advancing knowledge by adapting certain aspects of the empirical approach used by "magicians" and witches.

                                      Henry admonishes the reader (and other historians) repeatedly to view Bacon in the context of the time and not with our current cultural views and biases. Henry says that for the most part magic in the 16th and 17th centuries was about understanding the effects of nature (e.g., potions that ameliorate or create some effect). Henry said that magical knowledge was gained in part by experiment, though not systematic experiment, and certainly not experiment with a larger social purpose. Henry asserts that that Bacon was familiar with the magical tradition and the writings of major contemporary figures in that tradition.

                                      Henry noted that Bacon never completed his work elucidating his new approach (various pieces, outlines and examples of the approach were published). Further, Henry emphasized that Bacon contributed no significant new insights using his empirical approach, and was not able to completely articulate how his approach should work. He said that it is difficult to identify any philosopher (scientist) who strictly followed Bacon's suggested methods.

                                      Henry argues that Bacon's real fame rests on the political situation of the times. Henry believes that in the time of the Restoration in England (1660-ish), Philosophy was distrusted, thought to be a tool of the Catholic church and of extreme religious sects. He thinks that Bacon's ideas (he was long-dead by this time) offered a politically attractive way for philosophers of the time to salvage or restore their status by proclaiming their Empiricist approach as objective, non-partisan information gathering intended to benefit all people. Henry thus claims that Bacon's chief contribution is to the rhetoric of science.

                                      This is an interesting and somewhat thought-provoking book. The author has chosen a highly accessible, informal, non-academic style. In fact, there were several times when I wished Henry had included more direct quotes and fewer assertions about what Locke was thinking.

                                        Book Description

                                        First published in 1994 and now reprinted with a new foreword updating the situation from the original edition Environment and Society: The Enduring Conflict explores environmental problems - coherently and theoretically - from both a political and economic point of view. By illustrating the root causes of environmental disruption - global warming, soil depletion, desertification, water and air pollution - the authors show how to recognize and understand the complex contemporary problems involved in caring for the environment. The book offers both a coherent perspective for solving ecological problems of all kinds and a systematic approach that shows how organizations, institutions and individuals can push for environmental protection reforms. In three sections Schnaiberg and Gould ask the questions: Why should we be concerned? How does environmental disorganization get created? What has been done? And, finally, what can be done? "Allan Schnaiberg has been to environmental sociology what Talcott Parsons was to mid-century sociological theory: a person whose work was an obligatory point of departure. A candid, penetrating and critical assessment of many of the sacred cows of environmentalism and antienvironmentalism. This book is a most welcome addition to the literature in environmental sociology." Contemporary Sociology
